Chapter 240: The Fall of Canglong City
🕑 Added 2024-10-17 08:50:08 +0000 UTCYe Yaar now clearly saw that there were still Martial Kings among the enemies.
If she stayed here, she would certainly be killed.
Rather than dying for nothing, it was better to escape quickly!
As she turned to flee, several warriors of the Ice Dragon Empire, having just slain some of her guards, charged toward her.
"Princess Changyue, don't worry, we won’t kill you. Just obediently come with us!"
The Ice Dragon warriors sneered as they locked eyes on Princess Changyue.
"Get lost!"
Ye Yaar’s face turned grim.
"Capture her!"
At that moment, the Ice Dragon warriors’ expressions shifted, and they rushed forward.
Swish—
With a swift motion, Ye Yaar retrieved a pouch of powder from her storage ring.
Scattering it in the air, a green cloud of powder hit the warriors in their faces.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The instant the powder touched their skin, their faces began to corrode.
Their agonized screams echoed through the air as their flesh rotted in horrifying patches.
Without looking back at them, Ye Yaar sprinted in the opposite direction.
"Kill her! Kill her!!!"
The warriors roared in rage.
But their eyes had been eaten away by the corrosive powder, leaving them unable to see where Ye Yaar had fled.
Some remaining guards rushed forward and finished off the wounded warriors.
Ye Yaar kept running, her heart pounding.
"I need to hurry... I have to inform Father immediately."
She gritted her teeth and pushed herself to keep running.
Time passed, the sky darkened, and soon it was dawn.
Her feet were cut and bleeding from running through the wild brush, her appearance now disheveled and exhausted.
"This... this can't be..."
As she approached the gates of Canglong City, she realized in horror that the gates had been breached!
In the distance, flames raged as battles erupted.
Somehow, the Ice Dragon Empire’s forces had already broken through the city!
Canglong City was in complete disarray.
The strength of the Ice Dragon Empire was overwhelming, and in such a short time, they had already invaded Canglong City!
"Princess Changyue, I didn't expect you to return," a group of Ice Dragon warriors sneered as they surrounded Ye Yaar while she attempted to re-enter the city from a different gate.
Her expression changed drastically. There was no escape now!
"What do you want!?"
"We signed a ceasefire agreement with the Ice Dragon Empire!"
Ye Yaar shouted, her voice filled with anger.
"Ceasefire agreement?"
"That was just to fool you weaklings of the Canglong Empire."
"Why would we coexist peacefully when we can just swallow your entire nation whole?"
The leader of the Ice Dragon warriors grinned viciously.
"Now, Princess Changyue, come with us back to the Ice Dragon Empire. Our prince is still willing to make you one of his concubines."
The man motioned to his subordinates, and two of them approached with ropes, intending to bind Ye Yaar.
Seeing this, Ye Yaar’s eyes flashed, and with a swift flick of her hand, more powder was scattered into the air.
"Ahhh!"
Caught off guard, the Ice Dragon warriors inhaled the powder, which immediately began to corrode their faces.
"You're courting death!"
The leader’s face twisted in fury as he reached out to grab Ye Yaar.
Swish—
Before he could lay a hand on her, a flash of cold light cut through the air.
The warrior’s arm was severed before it could touch her, blood spraying into the air.
"Ahhh!!!"
He screamed, stumbling back in agony.
Who?!
The remaining warriors were shocked and quickly scanned the surroundings.
They spotted a figure standing in front of Ye Yaar.
"You... why are you here?"
Ye Yaar’s eyes widened in disbelief as she recognized the man.
For some reason, seeing him at this moment made her nose tingle, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I wasn’t planning to kill anyone anymore," Bai Li Changqing said softly, his tone unexpectedly gentle as he stood before her.
He had killed too many people, and he was growing weary of this life.
"But an old monk once told me, weapons aren’t just for killing—they can also protect," Bai Li Changqing added, his eyes scanning the surrounding warriors.
"Kill him! Kill him now!!!"
The warrior whose arm had been severed roared, his face contorted in pain.
The excruciating pain from losing his arm fueled his fury, and all he wanted now was to see Bai Li Changqing butchered.
"Leave," Bai Li Changqing said coldly.
In an instant, a terrifying aura exploded from him.
The warriors who rushed forward were immediately blasted away by the sheer force of his aura.
Bang, bang, bang—
Their bodies slammed into the surrounding rocks, and they died instantly.
"Kill!!!"
More warriors recklessly charged forward, their weapons raised.
Swish—
Bai Li Changqing’s sword, Jiemie, slashed through the air.
In the blink of an eye, all the charging warriors were cut down, their bodies collapsing to the ground.
Instant death.
"They’re all eighth- and ninth-level warriors."
"They're too weak," Ye Fan remarked as the system notifications flooded his mind.
Though he had gained more evolution points, the amount was insignificant.
"You... you..."
The Martial King who had lost his arm trembled as he stammered.
He looked around in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock.
In mere moments, all his subordinates had been slaughtered.
Could it be that this man was...
"Goodbye."
Bai Li Changqing raised his sword, Jiemie, and with one swift motion, cut the Martial King in two.
[Killed a Martial King, gained 1,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Martial King’s blood essence, gained 100 energy points]
[Absorbed Martial King’s blood essence, gained 100 energy points]
...
"Do you want to go back?"
After everything was done, Bai Li Changqing sheathed his sword and looked at Ye Yaar.
"Yes, I have to go back," Ye Yaar nodded firmly.
"Thank you for saving me. I’ll find a way to return soon."
She looked at Bai Li Changqing, her eyes filled with determination.
Though his strength was immense, she knew that the Ice Dragon Empire must have sent Martial Saints.
She didn’t want to drag Bai Li Changqing into her problems.
Moreover, her father and mother were still in the palace.
She couldn't just abandon them!
