The scarred Yang Shen did not continue to attack, but looked at the two with an arrogant expression: "Your cultivation is not bad. As long as you surrender to me, I will spare your lives."
Wang Bolin was furious: "We are officials appointed by the imperial court, how can we follow the rebels?"
“That’s right. If you surrender to the court, we can help you plead for leniency and let you serve the court.” Zhang Zijiang echoed. Although their official positions were not high, they were still legitimate government employees who enjoyed great prestige. How could they possibly become outlaws?
Moreover, their families and relatives are all in the capital. If they were to defect to the rebels, their families and relatives would all die without a burial place.
Upon hearing their reply, Yang Shen's face darkened, and the scar on his face resembled a ferocious centipede: "You're asking for death!"
He swung his sword again, and a huge blade of energy slashed towards them, its momentum seemingly capable of splitting a mountain in two.
Wang and Zhang happened to be with the Imperial Guards. They knew that they couldn't withstand this terrifying strike on their own, so they had no choice but to command their men to activate a formation to block it.
Soon, a pale blue transparent array pattern appeared above them, meeting the massive blade head-on.
The moment the sword energy made contact with the array pattern, the array pattern instantly began to crack.
Wang and Zhang secretly lamented their predicament. If they had a thousand men, they might have had a chance to withstand a Grandmaster, but now they only had a hundred. Even the most elite Imperial Guards were struggling to hold on, not to mention that their formation had already been shaken to the brink of collapse.
Seeing that the array pattern was about to shatter completely, Xie Daoyun quickly formed hand seals, and a rune flew out and stuck to the cracked array pattern, which stopped the array pattern from shattering instantly.
However, after a while, cracking sounds rang out everywhere, and the array patterns shattered. Many Imperial Guards collapsed, their legs giving way. Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang, who were at the core of the array, even coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Even Xie Daoyun, who was assisting from the side, was not feeling well. Her face was pale and she was covered in cold sweat. She felt that her mental energy was severely depleted, and her head felt like it was about to explode. She knew that she had already consumed a lot of her source energy. For their kind of cultivation, mental energy was the most important thing. Once mental energy was damaged, it would cause many irreversible and serious consequences.
Fortunately, the terrifyingly murderous strike was blocked.
Scarface Yang Shen glanced at Xie Daoyun in surprise, of course he could see what role she had played just now.
Now that the soldiers were almost defenseless, he respected his position and did not attack again. Instead, he ordered his men to charge forward, commanding, "That woman must be alive!"
"Alright, this woman belongs to the boss, no one is allowed to take her." The other rebels burst into laughter. To be honest, this woman had a special scholarly air about her, the kind of delicate young lady from a wealthy family, very different from the women they usually encountered, and the type they dreamed of having.
But now that the leader has spoken, who would dare to be so foolish as to try and take it from him?
At worst, we can wait until the boss gets tired of playing around and see if we can get a little taste of the soup.
Thinking of this, they excitedly rushed towards the Imperial Guards. If they couldn't take this woman, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted with the others?
Especially the two generals, Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang, were dressed in fine clothes, so we had to strip them naked.
Many of the rebel leaders set their sights on Zhang and Wang, while the others, knowing their place, went to rob other ordinary soldiers. Those soldiers had enviable equipment and were sure to be carrying a lot of cultivation supplies and pills, which were all valuable items for the rebels.
Scarface Yang frowned. He wanted to thank Daoyun not for matters of love, but because such a rune master was of immeasurable value to the rebel army. That was why he hadn't tried to kill her and capture her alive all this time.
Of course, there's no need to explain the reasons to these rough men.
Xie Daoyun naturally had no idea what the other party was thinking. She thought they wanted to capture her to be their wife. From a young age, she had been exposed to how brutal the rebel army was, and how the female relatives of various officials had suffered all kinds of humiliation in their hands. Just thinking about how miserable she would be if she fell into their hands, she gritted her teeth and directly pulled out a short sword and slit her own throat.
Just then, a gust of wind swept in, and with a clang, she could no longer hold onto the short sword in her hand, which fell directly to the ground. Her face was deathly pale. Could it be that she couldn't even commit suicide?
Just then, a sigh came: "Why is Sister Daoyun so depressed?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xie Daoyun trembled and turned around in disbelief. When she saw the familiar figure behind her, she instinctively felt that she was dreaming. How could he possibly be here?
Was this a hallucination I was having before I died?
He had already been disappointed once, and he didn't know if he could bear it if it happened again.
"General Zu!" At this moment, Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang, who were standing nearby, were overjoyed. They had thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived.
Although I looked down on him before, now I feel like I could hug him and call him my dad.
Upon hearing the way the two addressed her, Xie Daoyun realized that it really was Zu An who had come. She was excited and was about to call out to him when a strong feeling of weakness came over her. She had been exhausted for so many days and had only managed to hold on by sheer willpower. Now that she saw someone she could rely on, that strength dissipated, and she spun around and fell to the side.
Zu An was startled and quickly helped her up. Seeing Xie Daoyun, who usually paid attention to her demeanor, looking so disheveled, he knew she had suffered a lot and quickly transferred a wisp of his vital energy to her.
