King Liang's head rolled several times on the ground, covered in dust and weeds, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that Zuan would kill him so decisively.
Although I knew he had killed Prince Jin in the capital, he was, after all, a descendant of the royal family and didn't have much power to begin with.
He was different; he was a high-ranking official in the court and a member of the imperial family with high moral standing.
What's more, he has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the human race, giving him control of a large army!
He originally planned to say a few harsh words, and then the other party would give him a way out so that he wouldn't lose face. But who knew that the other party would not play by the rules!
The others in the room were also stunned. King Liang's status and position were extraordinary, and he himself was a master-level expert. How could he be killed so easily?
When everyone saw Tu Shan Yu in Zu An's arms, they seemed to understand something. Could it be that the King of Liang had been harassing them these past few days and had touched a nerve?
"How dare you kill the King of Liang!" At this moment, the King of Liang's confidants finally reacted and drew their swords, staring at Zu An.
"What, do you have a problem with this?" Zuan said calmly. The reason he killed Liang Wang earlier was mainly because he was afraid that Liang Wang would continue to spread rumors and cause internal strife within the human army.
At such a critical juncture, if that idiot continues his erratic behavior, who knows what bizarre things he might do that could plunge the human army into utter ruin? It's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, he naturally guessed what they were thinking, but he was too lazy to explain.
Sensing the coldness in his eyes, the Liang King's trusted men opened their mouths, but none of them dared to say anything more.
The Prince of Jin, the Prince of Dai, and the Meng family were once so powerful in the capital, but they ended up in such a state. The lessons of the past are still fresh in their minds, and they dare not court death.
At the same time, he also felt a little resentful that King Liang had lost his mind and had to provoke this evil star of all people.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" Suddenly, a round of applause broke out. The Second Prince was clapping. "I originally thought that only our demon race was a law of the jungle, and everyone admired the human race for being a land of etiquette. But now it seems that we are all the same. Whoever has the bigger fist and whoever is more polite, what are we pretending for all this time?"
Hearing his words, many human soldiers looked at him strangely. Today's events did not follow the usual procedures. Even if Liang Wang was not a prince, given his status as commander-in-chief, there was no reason to execute him on the spot. He should at least be taken back to the three judicial departments for joint trial.
Zuan's voice rang out: "Second Prince, there's no need to sow discord here. It's time to settle accounts for your collusion with extraterrestrial demons, which almost caused widespread suffering."
The second prince's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered: "Do you still have the mood to settle scores with me? Aren't you going to take care of your human army? If you don't go soon, they might be wiped out."
The reason he was so confident just now was because he knew this: he was holding back the human generals here while his main force took the opportunity to attack the human camp.
The human army is unprepared at night, and if it is suddenly attacked and its camp is overrun, the situation is almost always one-sided.
The more smoothly the war goes on that side, the more proactive he becomes on this side.
"No need to worry about it, because your men can't break through for the time being." Zuan seemed to have expected him to say this.
The Second Prince's expression changed, and he flew to a high place to look into the distance. He saw that a transparent array shield had formed around the human camp, and his troops were desperately bombarding the array shield.
Meanwhile, the human army inside the protective shield gradually regained consciousness and, under the command of their generals, began to form ranks.
The second prince's heart sank to the bottom. Now that the human army had reorganized, even if they broke through the shield, the effect of a surprise attack was lost.
"Why do you always ruin my plans!" The Second Prince glared at Zu An with resentment. If it weren't for this guy, he would be the new Demon Emperor now, and he wouldn't have ended up on the road of no return.
The Second Prince's anger level increased by 444...
Zuan looked at him coldly: "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable!"
"You really think you've got me cornered?" The second prince was somewhat annoyed. He waved his command flag, and rows of archers and formation masters emerged from the nearby woods, their arrows, infused with magical light, shooting towards the opposite side.
The soldiers under King Liang were terrified. They had come out at night without rune shields and were caught off guard by the simultaneous attack of spells. In just a few breaths, they would be torn to shreds by the powerful attacks.
Just then, Zu'an soared into the air, blocking them from the light. Suddenly, an ancient, illusory bell appeared in his palm, and he flicked it with his finger.
An invisible sound wave surged forward, colliding head-on with the incoming magical light, and actually shattering it into starlight.
The soldiers under the Second Prince's command were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They had never seen an army's attack so easily blocked by one person.
Zuan remained calm. The Pure Bell was the treasure of Wuyou Temple. Although his own bell was manifested through the Divine Rune Soldier Manual, it might be somewhat inadequate against those top-tier beings, but dealing with ordinary soldiers was still a piece of cake.
At this moment, the Second Prince gave another order: "What are you all standing there for? Continue the attack!"
He was usually very strict with his troops. Although the soldiers were in a state of extreme shock, they still instinctively obeyed his orders and prepared to attack again. They knew that after doing such a thing in the sealed land, there was no possibility of reconciliation. Either Zu'an would die, or they would die without a burial place.
