A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 243 The Battle to Defend the Imperial City (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

A chilling killing intent flashed in Xue Yinzhou's eyes. He handed Shen Tang to Lu Xiao's arms and then darted forward to attack!

The three great ninth-level beings gathered together and fought fiercely, a spectacle rarely seen in any dynasty!

The terrifying collision of forces generated waves and caused a strong spatial tremor, with signs of cracking appearing on the roof beams and stone pillars!

The fish in the pond, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, were only concerned with escaping for their lives.

At this moment, Yun Han and Xue Yinzhou also formed a tacit understanding similar to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," disregarding their previous grudges and trying to join forces to kill this disgusting lizard.

Zaxis is very strong, having advanced to the ninth rank earlier than the two of them. He is now at the mid-ninth rank. However, he is not an offensive type of ability. When faced with two powerful enemies of the same rank fighting together, he was somewhat overwhelmed and retreated step by step.

Besides, he never intended to fight the two of them; only a fool would act rashly!
He seized the opportunity, tore open space with one hand, and vanished without a trace with Shen Qingli in an instant.

"Qingli!"

Yun Han was just a hair's breadth away from snatching her back, but he still watched helplessly as the female was taken away by the enemy. His eyes were bloodshot, and he collapsed to his knees.

Having one's bride stolen at the wedding is the ultimate insult to any man, causing him immense pain and anger!
Xue Yinzhou stood tall and elegant in the center of the hall, seemingly detached from the chaos of the crowd and the falling rubble. His eyes were filled with icy killing intent as he stared intently in the direction where Zaxis had disappeared. The black aura raging around him violently bombarded the surrounding air, attempting to find the spatial entrance.

Unfortunately, Zaxis was too cunning, and his spatial abilities were extremely adept at concealment, so no one knew where he had hidden the spatial entrance.

The arriving guards eliminated all the assassins at the scene.

However, many orcs still died or were injured.

Unable to find the entrance to the space, Yun Han, no longer able to rage, had no choice but to give up.

He saw Shen Xu lying unconscious on the ground not far away, his expression suddenly tightened, and he quickly went over, squatted down and checked his breathing.

Upon discovering that he was still alive, Yun Han breathed a sigh of relief and carried him on his shoulder as they left.

……

Meanwhile, after Shen Tang and the others left the ceremony, they discovered that the situation outside was even more chaotic than inside!

A large rebel army has breached the city's defenses and is massacring the city's inhabitants!

Not far away, a family was fleeing in the chaos. They were dressed simply and were just the most innocent civilians in the city. The middle-aged woman was holding a baby a few months old in her arms.

A rebel soldier spotted them, grinned cruelly and crazed, and immediately raised his gun.

Just as he was about to fire, a sharp spike rose from the ground, pierced his chest, and pinned him to the ground!
At the same time, more earth spikes emerged from the ground, instantly killing dozens of rebels. Lightning, ice, fire, wind blades, and black mist followed one after another, and more and more rebels were killed by the powerful supernatural attacks, slowing down the pace of the invasion. However, it was still impossible to completely stop the atrocities.

The city's inhabitants screamed in panic and fled, desperately seeking a safe haven, but all that awaited them was endless slaughter.

Many orcs transformed into wild beasts, making the scene increasingly chaotic and uncontrollable.

An abandoned cub was trampled into a pulp during the trampling.

Shen Tang didn't even have time to save it.

When she saw this scene, she felt like she couldn't breathe and her heart was aching.

She shouted with all her might,

"I am Princess Shen Tang of the Empire. Anyone who wants to live, follow me!"

The woman's voice was like a ray of sunlight piercing through the mist.

Amidst the screams and cries of pain, she was so small, yet many heard her. "It's Her Highness the Princess!"

"It's Princess Shen Tang and her beastmen! They've come to rescue us?!"

"Hurry! Get there quickly!"

"We are saved!"

There seemed to be an inexplicable force of unity, and many orcs gathered there, seeking refuge.

This was something they wouldn't have dared to imagine back then. One day, they would actually seek the protection of that foolish and incompetent princess. But now, the people had an inexplicable trust in Shen Tang. They didn't hesitate at all, and they didn't even think about those things from the past.

Shen Tang wanted to lead the people out of the city to find a safe place.

Lu Xiao landed on the ground from the sky, his voice cold and deep, "No, Mistress, now is not a good time to leave the city. The outside is already surrounded by the rebel army. If you lead the people out of the city gate, you will be walking into a trap!"

Shen Tang's heart sank to the bottom. He hadn't expected the rebels to act so quickly. It seemed they had been planning this day for a long time!

The rebels intend to capture the capital in one fell swoop, and the troops they have sent are absolutely terrifying beyond imagination.

Based on what they've seen of the rebels so far, it's estimated that this is just an advance force; the main force hasn't arrived yet!

This will be a tough battle to defend the city!
"Then let's block the city gates and prevent them from getting in!"

Lu Xiao seemed to remember something, and his voice became unusually urgent. "Mistress, I remember you can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground). The rebels shouldn't have had time to ambush us underground yet. Now is the best time for you to leave!"

Shen Tang shook her head, "I'm not leaving, I want to stay with you all."

"Tangtang!"

The beastmen looked disapproving, but were filled with worry.

Lu Xiao's attitude was firm, and for the first time he disobeyed her, "Mistress, now is the best time to leave. If we wait any longer, we may really not be able to leave!"

As beast-husbands, their primary concern is the safety of their mistress; they absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to her!
Shen Tang smiled and comforted her, "I know you're all worried about me, and it's for my own good, but don't forget that I'm very strong now, no worse than you are."

She unleashed a seventh-tier peak earth-type ability.

He's even stronger than Shen Li and Jia Lan who are present!

She proved with her abilities, "Don't worry, I can protect myself and I will definitely not hold you back."

Xiao Jin's expression tightened. He was about to hurriedly explain that this was not what he meant when he saw the female look up at them seriously. "...If I stay, I can also protect you."

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Jin's voice abruptly stopped.

His face was filled with shock, he forgot what he was going to say, and his lips and tongue were extremely dry.

Shen Tang's voice was clear and resonant, each word distinct and articulate, reaching their ears precisely.

"Besides, I am an imperial princess. I have a responsibility to stay and protect my subjects, not to live behind a wall of flesh built by the people and the army, and be a cowardly deserter!"

Lu Xiao, Shen Li, Jia Lan, Xue Yinzhou and the others were also shocked by these words.

Protecting the country is not a woman's responsibility, especially since she is such a noble princess. She should be protected, but she actually said she wanted to protect them and the people!
At this moment, the beastmen understood perfectly clearly that Shen Tang was not a weakling who needed their protection, but a female master who would fight alongside them, their sovereign!
