In the back-and-forth battle, Li Zhu grew increasingly frustrated. His many concerns prevented him from fully unleashing his power, and his already lower cultivation level made him even more passive…
"wake up…"
Li Zhu used his Lion's Roar technique, hoping to bring the Marquis back to his senses for a moment, so that he could seize the opportunity to use his own power to help the Marquis dispel the strange power within him...
However, the methods that worked before were completely ineffective at this moment, as the eerie power contained in the mist here was even more domineering!
Bang!
Li Zhu was kicked in the chest by the Marquis, and his body flew backward uncontrollably!
Suppressing his urge to vomit blood, Li Zhu seized the opportunity and crashed into Nazha. A tremendous force surged from Li Zhu's body into Nazha's, while a large amount of black energy flew out from Nazha's body. At this moment, Nazha finally regained consciousness...
Li Zhu released his inner energy and pressed it against Nazha's forehead, saying...
"Control this power, don't let it dissipate..."
This was Li Zhu's power, capable of blocking the strange force within the mist. Naza quickly circulated her internal energy, striving to prevent the power between her brows from dissipating...
After doing all this, she looked at Li Zhu and noticed a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating he was injured. But before she could say a word of concern, Li Zhu leaped up and, disregarding his injuries, began fighting with the Marquis…
Only then did Nazha begin to regret her actions. If she hadn't been so reckless, things wouldn't have turned out this way, and Li Zhu wouldn't have gotten hurt protecting her...
"Brother Zhu, please don't get hurt..."
Naza murmured, her eyes filled with anxiety…
Outside the city!
Wang Yanzhang and Tuoba Dada stood side by side. Both of them were military generals, and the aura they exuded when they stood together was extremely powerful. The guards next to them did not dare to approach them!
"General Dada, will the Crown Prince be alright?"
Wang Yanzhang asked with some concern, also trying to find a topic to chat about with Tuoba Dada, otherwise the two of them standing there like this would be quite awkward...
"Don't you have any idea what kind of ability your good-for-nothing crown prince is?"
Tuoba Dada said in a muffled voice. Such blunt words immediately darkened Wang Yanzhang's face. He thought to himself, "Whether my crown prince is useless or not, you can't say it to my face. Although I agree, this is, after all, a diplomatic relationship between two countries. I have to consider the face of the New Tang Dynasty..."
Aren't you worried?
Wang Yanzhang frowned and asked, "If something happens to Li Zhu, the two countries may become enemies because of it!"
Why should I worry?
Tuoba Dada's words left Wang Yanzhang speechless, choked up and unsure what to say...
"General, something terrible has happened! The princess has gone missing..."
At this moment, a guard shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, Tuoba Dada's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly questioned loudly.
"When did this happen? Why weren't you watching the princess?"
Hearing his words, the guard felt bitter. He knew his princess's temper; if she really wanted to escape, who could keep an eye on her?
"Quickly, everyone mount your horses and charge into the city..."
Tuoba Dada was in a great hurry to leave for the city, but Wang Yanzhang quickly stopped him and said...
"General Dada, my prince has not yet returned, and we are not clear about the situation inside the city. It is not advisable to enter the city now..."
"I don't care, my princess has definitely followed your good-for-nothing crown prince into the city, I can't just stand by and watch him take such a risk..."
Wang Yanzhang's lips twitched incessantly. He thought to himself, "You're quite the hypocrite. When my crown prince goes in, you say it's nothing, but when your princess goes in, you're all panicked..."
"General Dada, my Crown Prince and the Marquis are inside the city. They will certainly not allow the princess to suffer any harm. You must not act rashly..."
Wang Yanzhang quickly advised, "The situation inside the city is unclear, and without orders, it is indeed not advisable to act without authorization!"
"General Wang, if you obstruct me again, don't blame me for being impolite. If anything happens to my princess, I'll fight you to the death..."
Tuoba Dada was anxious, so he spoke somewhat unreasonably!
This left Wang Yanzhang speechless. Even though he was unwilling, he could only continue to persuade him gently.
“General Dada, I know you are worried about your princess’s safety, but our two armies are now linked together, and anything we do could have far-reaching consequences. Please, General Dada, remain calm and wait a little longer. If no news comes through, I will enter the city with you…”
Upon hearing Wang Yanzhang's words, Tuoba Dada paused for a moment, realizing the other party had a point, and could only reply helplessly.
"Alright, I'll wait a little longer. You should also order the troops in the rear to prepare; we'll enter the city at any time..."
Seeing Tuoba Dada submit, Wang Yanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly sent someone to notify the rear troops to prepare for departure...
After doing all this, he looked at the city not far away. For some reason, he felt a vague unease. The Marquis and Li Zhu had been inside for so long. Logically speaking, they should have sent a message back by now. But so far, not only had no message been sent back, but the two of them seemed to have sunk into the sea without a sound.
Inside the city!
Despite his injuries, Li Zhu charged towards the Marquis. Neither of them was using their full fighting strength, but the intensity of their battle was considerable, leaving Nazha dazzled. Although she was extremely anxious, she couldn't offer any help in such a high-level fight.
"wake up!"
With a roar from Li Zhu, the two attacks collided. Perhaps Li Zhu's power affected the Marquis, for his movements paused for a moment...
Li Zhu immediately seized the opportunity, placing his right hand on the Marquis's forehead. A tremendous force surged in, forcing the strange power within the Marquis's body to dissipate as black mist, thus restoring the Marquis's sanity...
"Keep your mind focused, don't let my strength dissipate..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, the Marquis immediately understood what had happened and quickly used his own power to envelop Li Zhu's power, preventing the strange entity from invading his mind...
When he finished doing all this and saw that Nazha had regained her senses, the Marquis couldn't help but curse Li Zhu in his heart as a scumbag. During the experiment, he used him as a target because he was afraid of hurting his woman. Now that he was sure there was no problem, he saved his woman first and left him to suffer...
After doing all this, Li Zhu collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and gasped for breath. The eerie mist dissipated immediately upon touching him, unable to harm him. However, Nazha and Hou Wang had to slow their breathing to avoid being invaded by the strange mist...
Where is this?
Seeing that the crisis was over, Nazha subconsciously asked…
