SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Xiao Li suddenly stood up, moved a chair from beside the Green King to between the monk and the old man.

The Azure King raised an eyebrow, his tone questioning, "What do you mean by this?"

"Zhan Qing, you'd better pray that the crazy woman's family is alright."

Xiao Li's voice turned serious as he added, "Otherwise, if a woman who has awakened a berserk nature goes berserk, we'll only be able to collect your corpse."

At this moment, the monk calmly stood up, looked at the Green King, and said without the slightest ripple in his voice: "What you've said is all speculation at the moment."

"If you find any clues that the Red King is still alive, I will take action, but for now, I must go ahead."

"Don't worry, I'll go with you."

The old man slowly rose, leaning on his cane, his cloudy eyes sweeping over the Azure King: "Zhan Qing, this is the last time we will fight for the kingdom."

"If the operation fails due to your incorrect information, then let the kingdom fend for itself."

"Aren't you really afraid of His Majesty's return?!" The Azure King's voice suddenly turned cold, and dark purple poisonous mist surged around him.

Xiao Li scoffed, "If His Excellency could return, why would we have waited until now?"

"I remember there was another person by His Excellency's side back then, Zhan Qing. Did he not stay in China, but left with His Excellency?"

The King of Green raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when a series of hurried footsteps suddenly approached from afar, shattering the deathly silence of the wall.

All eyes instantly turned to the depths of darkness, where a gray-robed man staggered in, his voice filled with panic: "King Qing, someone has broken in..."

"Whoosh—"

Before the words were finished, a cold light flashed like lightning, piercing the darkness!

A long sword gleaming with chilling killing intent suddenly pierced through the messenger's chest, its tip sinking straight into the ground!

As blood gushed out, the gray-robed man's body went limp and collapsed, completely lifeless.

"boom--"

The next second, an extremely violent aura of a high-level seventh-tier cultivator swept in like a tsunami, and the rubble on the ground was tossed about by the invisible shockwave.

The twelve gray-robed men gripped their weapons tightly at their waists, their breaths taut with tension.

The Azure King's pupils contracted sharply, and he quietly tightened his grip on the halberd in his hand, as dark purple poisonous mist surged around him like a living thing.

Seeing this, the monk calmly sat back down in his original seat, his voice even: "Since we've already caught up, let's take a look."

The old man slowly sat back down in his chair, tapping his cane lightly on the ground: "I think what you, the monk, said makes sense."

"Unfortunately, the madness in this aura isn't strong enough, which means we don't need to collect Zhan Qing's body."

Xiao Li's lips curled into a smile, and he added in a teasing tone, "How so? Shall we open a sale?"

"Let's gamble on whether Zhan Qing lives or dies?"

"boom--"

As the violent aura continued to approach, a figure in a black robe wearing a blood-red mask suddenly came into view.

Her steps were as light as a ghost, and with each step she took, the ground would explode with a "boom," creating a spiderweb-like crack.

Amidst the flying pebbles, she had already reached the gray-robed man's corpse.

With a flick of her jade-like hand, the long sword was pulled from the ground with a "whoosh," and blood dripped down the blade, splashing into dazzling blood flowers on the ground.

She raised her eyes and swept them towards the direction of the Azure King, her gaze beneath the blood-red mask flashing with boundless killing intent. Her voice was icy: "Zhan Qing, get over here and kneel down!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Azure King!" A gray-robed man at the initial seventh level roared and stepped forward, his aura suddenly exploding.

"Whoosh—"

The blade flashed like a startled swan, so fast that its trajectory was impossible to discern.

The gray-robed man's eyes widened suddenly, and a "hoarse" sound came from his throat as his body was cleaved into three pieces and crashed heavily to the ground, splattering blood onto the robes of those around him!

"How dare you!"

As the Right Protector roared, his aura as a mid-stage seventh-tier cultivator erupted, and his longsword was drawn with a clang—but a scream rang out even faster than the sound of the blade!

"ah--"

With a clang, the Right Protector's long sword fell to the ground along with his right arm, and blood gushed from the severed arm, splattering all over his face.

He staggered backward, clutching his severed arm, his body convulsing in pain, his eyes filled with terror.

"Blood King! How dare you!"

The aura of a seventh-level high realm cultivator erupted from the Azure King's body, and the dark purple poisonous mist surged even more violently.

Xiao Li couldn't help but sneer, "Tsk tsk, as bloody as ever, she's still the same crazy woman from back then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robes turned around and looked at him. His violent aura swept towards Xiao Li like a hurricane, and the ground was instantly pressed into a shallow pit!

The monk and the old man's eyes narrowed simultaneously. Almost instantly, they picked up their chairs and transformed into two blurry figures, appearing in the open space ten meters away and calmly sitting down.

"I'm an old man with bones like this, I can't afford to get hurt," the old man said calmly, gripping his cane.

"Xiao Li, how many pieces do you want to divide it into?" The black-robed man's voice was cold as he slowly spun his long sword in his hand, the blade reflecting a chilling light.

Xiao Li glanced at the two people sitting far away beside him, his lips twitched involuntarily, and a fawning smile instantly appeared on his face: "Don't get excited, I just blurted it out. I apologize to you directly."

He paused, pointed in the direction of the Green King, and reminded him urgently, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Zhan Qing is over there. I am not your enemy today."

The old man's aged voice rang out with a hint of mockery: "Xiao Li, where is your backbone?"

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, trying to salvage his dignity: "This king is just showing respect for women."

The monk's calm voice then rang out: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

The man in black robes approached the Green King step by step, each step like a heavy hammer slamming into the ground. The stone slabs beneath his feet instantly shattered into a spiderweb pattern, and the rubble was tossed about in the violent aura.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the Green King: "Zhan Qing, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

The Azure King's face was terrifyingly grim: "You've already killed all my men, and you've even severed the arm of my Right Protector. What more do you want?!"

"I'll say it one last time, kneel down before me."

The man in black robes gripped his twin swords tightly, the blades gleaming with an eerie, blood-red light in the night, his ferocious aura tangible as he pressed straight at the Green King's face!

"You crazy woman, don't go too far!"

As soon as the King of Qing finished speaking, Xiao Li, the monk, and the old man almost simultaneously grabbed chairs, their figures transforming into three afterimages as they swiftly darted to the open ground 20 meters away, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times.

Xiao Li sat in his chair with his legs crossed, a mocking look on his arrogant face: "I do have some respect for Zhan Qing."

The old man gripped his cane with both hands: "He's still too young; he hasn't experienced the carnage of those years."

The monk clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Commendable courage."

"boom--!"

An even more violent aura suddenly enveloped the black-robed man.

Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and her black robe fluttered in the air, making her look like a demon from hell.

"Since you won't kneel, I'll beat you until you do!"

"At the same level, do you think I would fear you!"

The aura around the Azure King suddenly surged, and the dark purple poisonous mist rushed towards the black-robed man like a tide. As he swung his halberd, a silver light was drawn through the poisonous mist, heading straight for the black-robed man's throat!
