With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 528 Return of the King

After what happened with Dong Baishang, Duan Tingxuan was actually disheartened.

But he was fortunate to have loving parents who, in order to save him and allow him to successfully divorce Dong Baishang, exchanged the Duan family's merits.

Afterwards, His Majesty assigned them to guard the city gates of the southwestern pass in the southwest.

To defend against attacks from ferocious beasts and mutated wild animals in the southwest region, keeping them out of the southwest and preventing them from harassing the people of the Dongning Beast Kingdom.

The darkness in the surrounding mountains and forests is growing stronger, and there are more and more mutated beasts. When they smell the orcs, they instinctively want to attack and devour them.

This long defensive wall, which guards the city gate, is a crucial pass.

When we first arrived here, there weren't so many mutated beasts, let alone a beast tide.

But he felt regret and distress in his heart. The regret was like countless ants gnawing at his body, causing him great pain.

He couldn't numb himself; only by guarding the city and doing something could he feel a little better.

A few days ago, it seemed that an earthquake occurred in the southern border region, which was felt here as well. Then, a few days later, a beast tide attacked the city.

Duan Tingxuan was prepared to sacrifice himself.

In this way, he died a worthy death, fulfilling his parents' teachings.

Moreover, since arriving here, he has also taken time every day to teach his younger brother, sharing with him what he has learned and his insights into supernatural abilities.

Hopefully, he will be able to stand on his own in the future.

These mutated beasts, even ferocious beasts, were extremely fierce. After three days and three nights of non-stop fighting, he was seriously injured.

However, Duan Tingxuan didn't care; these physical pains were nothing compared to the torment of regret that plagued his heart every day.

Therefore, he became more and more courageous in battle.

Although those mutated beasts lacked intelligence, they subconsciously felt that this orc was the most difficult to deal with, and knew that only by eliminating this orc would they have a chance to invade the city.

Duan Tingxuan's parents and younger brother wanted to come and help, but they were also held back by many mutated ferocious beasts and guarded various parts of the city wall, unable to move freely.

Otherwise, the protective array will also be breached.

When Duan Tingshu turned to look at his brother, he suddenly saw more than a dozen of the most ferocious mutated beasts leap over the city wall and charge at his brother.

His brother, severely injured, was no match for so many mutated beasts; their claws seemed poised to tear him apart as well.

Then, in that instant, he discovered that his brother was about to use a forbidden family technique—a blood sacrifice—to kill these mutated beasts.

"No, brother, no."

Blood sacrifice is not allowed.

But Duan Tingxuan did not hesitate. He used blood sacrifice, and his body erupted with powerful force, instantly eliminating more than a dozen mutated ferocious beasts that had scaled the city wall. This force even killed all the ferocious beasts near the city gate.

His body couldn't withstand the force and reached its limit.

In the instant he fell, he vaguely saw Su Muyao.

He thought he was hallucinating as he was dying.

Even if I can hallucinate before I die, it would be good to see her.

……

When Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi arrived, they witnessed this scene. As soon as Su Muyao drew her Azure Lotus Sword, countless mutated beasts died wherever the sword energy passed.

It was as if a path had been carved out of thin air.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and her sword energy swept across the area.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a waterfall of sword light.

The azure light of the Azure Lotus Sword burst forth from its tip, sweeping out like a cascading silver river.

Wherever the Azure Lotus Sword's sword energy passed, countless mutated ferocious beasts were instantly cleaved in two.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the hard scales of many mutated ferocious beasts shattered like paper, and their massive bodies crashed to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

Even the ferocious kite beasts circling in the air didn't have time to react before their wings were severed by the sword energy, causing them to fall into the beast horde and create chaos.

The sword energy did not stop; it moved through the beast tide like a living thing, stirring up layers of blood mist wherever it passed.

Those previously ferocious mutated beasts didn't even have a chance to struggle before turning into mangled limbs and broken bones.

The city's defenders were dumbfounded. They had never seen such power before. With just a single sword aura, the beast herd, spanning half a mile, was swept away as if it were dry and withered. Only a sword mark three feet deep remained on the ground, radiating a faint spiritual energy fluctuation.

Su Muyao sheathed her sword with fluid, effortless movements. Not a single drop of blood stained her dress. She looked up into the depths of the beast tide, where an angry roar echoed, clearly indicating that the leader of the beast tide had been alerted.

The leader of the beast tide, the most powerful mutated ferocious beast, a level ten or higher rhinoceros-armored beast, led the last batch of mutated ferocious beasts in a charge.

Su Muyao turned around, leaving everyone with her tall and straight back. With her clothes fluttering, she headed towards the leader of the beast tide.

With another swing of her sword, the spiritual energy surged, and she dispatched the leader of the beast tide and the last batch of mutated ferocious beasts it led.

It was over in an instant with just one sword strike.

The people on the city wall were horrified, but after the initial shock came excitement.

"So strong."

"Who is that? She saved us."

"One sword can shatter ten thousand beasts... She's too strong."

After everyone belatedly realized what had happened, they cheered excitedly.

"never mind."

"never mind."

A deafening cheer erupted from the city gate tower.

Only the Duan family members murmured, "It's Her Highness the Crown Princess, it's her!"

She saved them.

Duan Tingshu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly went to his brother.

Duan Tingxuan had already fainted and was barely clinging to life.

Tears streamed down Duan Tingshu's face. "Brother, did you see that? The Crown Princess has come. She saved us. The beast tide is over. All those mutated beasts have been killed. We're alright now."

"Brother, hang in there, I'll take you to a witch doctor. You'll be alright, you'll be alright."

Duan Tingshu's voice was choked with emotion.

He felt sad for his elder brother, who had once been the most upright and honorable person.

how so.

Both the Duan family head and Duan's father turned away in disbelief upon seeing this scene.

Blood sacrifice is a forbidden technique, and Duan Tingxuan used it without reservation, leaving the witch doctor helpless.

The Duan family head was very sad. She began to blame herself, wishing she had discovered Dong Baishang's problem back then.

If she could have insisted on not letting Duan Tingxuan forcibly terminate his contract with Su Muyao and instead let him go into exile with Miss Su, everything would have been different.

Just then, Su Muyao walked over, squatted down, and used her wood-type ability to heal Duan Tingxuan.

A powerful light of wood-based supernatural energy instantly enveloped Duan Tingxuan, healing all his injuries.

Duan Tingxuan is only a level seven ability user now. Even if he uses a blood sacrifice, Su Muyao's level twenty-eight wood-type ability can still save him.

She is the crown princess of the Dongning Beast Kingdom, and she naturally wouldn't hesitate to use her wood-based healing abilities to help those who have contributed to guarding the city gates.

She would save anyone, no matter who it was.

"Daughter... Your Highness?"

Duan Tingshu watched as his elder brother's wounds healed rapidly, and he could hardly believe his eyes at this powerful healing ability.

Even the head of the Duan family and Duan's father found it hard to believe.

They couldn't believe that Miss Su would put aside past grievances to save Tingxuan, yet they were deeply grateful.

They could see that Miss Su's current strength was extremely formidable; none of them were qualified to stand before her.

She was so dazzling.

Then look at Wen Nanxi, who silently accompanies and protects her.

The head of the Duan family felt increasingly guilty and distressed.

They were really wrong.
