Seeing the other party reach out to pinch, his expression changed. Just as he was about to dodge, a group of archers suddenly emerged from the red-robed army behind him and shot at the empty handprint.
The arrows these people shot were surrounded by a layer of red light, and when they were shot out at once, it was like a meteor shower.
Zaun was secretly amazed; it was just like those magic arrows in the movies.
The red meteor shower met the empty handprint, instantly shattering it, and then continued flying towards the other side.
However, they were all exhausted and were quickly parried by the Imperial Guards with their swords.
Zuan stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the combined efforts of the armies could achieve such an effect.
Liu Yao's face was extremely ugly. He had failed in front of so many people. He roared and drew his long sword. A hundred-meter-long blade of energy slashed towards the Red Robe Army's camp. He wanted to completely shatter the enemy's camp!
"Form ranks!"
As commands were given, the Red Robe Army immediately raised their shields at a 45-degree angle in perfect unison. Blue light flowed across the small shields, which eventually merged into a giant shield that stood horizontally in the sky.
Liu Yao's hundred-meter-long sword energy, which was originally very powerful, suddenly became insignificant in front of this huge shield.
With a loud bang, the blade energy shattered into several pieces, and then broke into several fragments.
The enormous shield produced ripples, yet it remained standing.
Throughout the entire process, Zaun observed that the ripples had spread out and eventually settled on each soldier's shield.
Even the most powerful force, when divided into thousands of parts, becomes less terrifying.
How could Zu'an let such a good opportunity slip by? He looked at Liu Yao with a grin and said, "I wonder if General Liu has any further advice?"
Liu Yao was furious at being ridiculed and mocked like that.
Liu Yao's anger level increased by 999!
"If you're so capable, don't hide in the army formation! Come out and I'll let you have your hands off!" Liu Yao roared. This little punk could usually be crushed by him with a single finger, but this time, hiding in the army formation, he was left helpless.
Zu An sighed: "Are you stupid or am I stupid? You, a peak ninth-rank expert, are asking a young junior like me to fight you one-on-one? Did I hear that right?"
The other party clearly has a grudge against the Chu family. Even if he were to be nicer, the other party would not let the Chu family off the hook. Since that's the case, why bother with so many concerns? He should just enjoy himself first and maybe even earn some anger points along the way.
"You!" Liu Yao almost couldn't catch his breath. He knew that his request was unreasonable, but he was mainly infuriated by the guy's smug look.
Liu Yao's anger level increased by 991!
At this moment, Xie Daoyun spoke up: "General Liu, the main reason why Young Master Zu came here is because he is worried about the safety of Lord Mingyue and the others. Please understand his filial piety and let them protect him on the outside."
Liu Yao glanced at Xie Daoyun, knowing she was giving him a way out, and his expression softened slightly: "You must be Xie Yi's daughter. I've heard of your talent in the capital. You were one of the candidates when the Crown Prince was choosing a consort, and we almost became relatives."
Zu An looked at Xie Daoyun with surprise. He didn't expect that she was one of the candidates for Crown Princess. Does that mean that I almost became the Crown Princess?
Xie Daoyun blushed and said: "General Liu is too kind. I know that I am not talented enough and have a plain appearance. I am not worthy to serve the Crown Prince."
She had heard about this matter, but everyone in the Xie family knew that there were too many factors to consider when choosing a Crown Princess, and the Xie family's background was not good enough to become in-laws with the Crown Prince, so they didn't take it seriously.
Besides, given that prince's reputation, she wouldn't be willing to be chosen even if she were.
Liu Yao continued, "Miss Xie, what are you doing here? I just heard that they kidnapped hostages and stormed into the city. You must be the one. Hmph, these guys are too lawless. They actually dared to openly kidnap the city lord's daughter and storm the city. Tell me what grievances you have. This general and so many imperial guards will stand up for you!"
He had already made up his mind that as long as she said one word, he would lead his Imperial Guards to forcibly kill Zu'an, and if these Red Robe Army soldiers dared to resist, that would be fine.
Although the Imperial Guards are few in number, their combat effectiveness is not low, and they can also draw Lord Xie's army into the battle.
Even if he ultimately fails, it would be easy for him to escape. Although the Red Robe Army could withstand his attacks with their formation, they couldn't stop him from fleeing.
A direct conflict between the Chu family and the Imperial Guards and the city defense forces would be a capital offense, punishable by the extermination of the entire family. He didn't need to worry about what happened afterward, and he had successfully completed his mission.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Daoyun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, General Liu, but my grandfather and I are friends. He did not kidnap me."
Hearing his words, Chu Yucheng nudged Chu Hongcai next to him with his elbow and whispered, "Why do you think so many beautiful women like Azu? I'm clearly no less handsome or fit than him."
Chu Hongcai glanced at his barrel-like figure and couldn't help but sneer repeatedly: "You really have no self-awareness at all."
However, the memory of a group of people going to Shenxianju also came to his mind. Qiu Honglei was so affectionate towards Zu'an back then. Oh, it hurts to think about it.
The other soldiers in red robes looked at each other in disbelief. In their hearts, Miss Chu was already a fairy descended from heaven. They never expected that she would suddenly marry someone they had never even heard of.
A group of people had been asking around about this mysterious son-in-law, and they had heard about his romantic escapades. They never expected that even the city lord's daughter would be so devoted to him. What was so special about him?
