It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

There was a glimmer of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.

Meeting his hawk-like gaze, the little queen trembled subconsciously. It was obvious that after being oppressed by him for so many years, she had already developed a fear ingrained in her bones.

But on second thought she didn't care. As the saying goes, she was going to die anyway, so if she sticks out her head she'll get stabbed, so why should she be afraid of you?

"What else? Should I be respectful to a traitor like you?!"

So she straightened her back for once and retorted without any hesitation, "You are still so hypocritical at this time. Aren't you disgusting?"

Although one could still hear a hint of cowardice in her voice, but at this moment, she was filled with the aura of an emperor, at least much more than before.

"…Then please die, Your Majesty."

Cheng Gujian frowned, drew out the spear behind him, and walked slowly towards her with a gloomy face.

The tip of the gun hit the ground, making a sharp sound.

"You don't have to do it, I'll do it myself!"

Dongfang Xiao's throat rolled, but he still raised the sword tremblingly and put it to his neck, looking as if he was ready to die.

To be honest, she was scared to death. How could anyone face death without fear?

But she also didn't want to live in Cheng Gujian's shadow all her life, at least she didn't want him to have the final say on her death!

Of course, to be honest, I feel a little embarrassed here. I have said a lot of heroic words and foul language before, and I can't just cry and beg him to spare my life now.

If that were the case, she would be nailed to the pillar of shame whether she was dead or alive, and she didn't want to be so humiliated.

The little queen closed her eyes and exerted a little force with her trembling hands.

At the last moment of her life, she still felt unwilling.

Although everything was on the right track, she still didn't have the opportunity to show her talents and realize her ambitions.

The most infuriating thing is that that bastard Xu Shi had so much fun for nothing!

Eh? Why did I think of him?

It was obviously him who abandoned him! He promised to help him eliminate Cheng Gujian, but now he has started a rebellion, and there is no trace of Xu Shi.

She didn't care whether Xu Shi was too busy to handle everything. She just felt aggrieved. If you couldn't do what you promised me, you shouldn't have said it at that time!

I was stupid, I believed it foolishly.

Woo woo woo.

however.

at this time.

She suddenly felt as if she was being clamped. No matter how hard she tried, the sword in her hand could not penetrate even a little bit.

Ok?

As he was puzzled, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"You are... Xia Wuyou?"

Dongfang Xiao blinked, his mind in a mess, and it took him a while to remember her name.

"It's me. You should have seen me before, right?"

Xia Wuyou rolled her eyes at her and said, "Xu Shi had already predicted that things would not be peaceful in the palace tonight, so he specifically asked me to come and protect you."

Not so good.

Xu Shi sent her, his strongest fighter, not to guard against the Holy See's secret attack. His target from the beginning was Cheng Gujian.

The Holy See is determined to crush him to ashes, and before that it will never devote too much energy to the royal family.

Both Xu Shi and the royal family were opponents that could not be underestimated. Even if they summoned people from other places, the result of a two-pronged approach would be to draw water with a bamboo basket.

So she had been lurking in the palace for a long time, and she heard the conversation between Dongfang Xiao and Cheng Gujian just now.

"Actually, you're not bad. I always thought you were a fool, but I didn't expect you to have some blood in you."

Little Xia Xiaomao approved of the little queen's attitude and nodded slightly.

"Then I...thank you for the compliment, Master's wife?"

Being praised at this critical moment, Dongfang Xiao didn't know what he felt, but he wasn't very happy anyway.

The main thing is that this mistress is really sharp-tongued, okay? When did I become a fool? !

Sure enough, it was normal for the women around Xu Shi to be as annoying as he was, but good mistresses like Sister Xie were the exception.

She was sure that Xie Qingyan was a good woman.

Sister Xie has had a hard time. It must be very difficult to live under the same roof with these people every day, right?

"Miss Xia, are you going to protect her?"

Cheng Gujian frowned, "I know Xu Shi sent you here, but I also advise you to think carefully about whether it is worth doing this."

The subtext of this statement is very clear. Now that the Holy See is at the end of its road and he is only one step away from the throne, Dongfang Xiao is obviously not a good choice.

What she could promise to Xu Shi, he could also give, maybe even better than she could give.

Why should I stand on her side at this time?

As for the little moves between Xu Shi and Dongfang Xiao...all I can say is that he must have known about it a long time ago. I dare not say that he knew about every detail, but it is impossible that he didn't notice anything at all.

“It’s not a question of whether it’s worth it or not.”

Xia Wuyou refused to give in, the sword at his waist was already unsheathed, "Xu Shi asked me to guarantee her safety, and I must do it."

"Besides...I have been annoyed with you for a long time. Don't you know that?"

This was indeed true. The last time they went to fight the Sea God, Cheng Gujian changed his mind at the last minute and abandoned Xu Shi's safety, leaving her to fight alone. She had always felt resentful about this and was still furious when she thought about it now.

"So what? I admit that you are quite strong, but you are definitely not my opponent."

Cheng Gujian sneered. She was very clear about Xia Wuyou's level. He was indeed strong, but not strong enough to threaten her.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Xiaomao Xia didn't waste any time and took the initiative to attack before he finished speaking, "Die!"

Facing an SS-level opponent like Cheng Gujian, she certainly would not be careless. She pushed the gravity field to the extreme right from the start, and pointed the sword in her hand directly at the opponent's vital points!

Cheng Gujian was not in a hurry. He raised his spear and rushed forward, with a smoky gray aura emerging from his body.

Destruction power!

Xia Wuyou's eyes tightened and he dodged easily by turning sideways.

She had witnessed the other party's abilities, so she naturally knew the power of destructive abilities. It would be inappropriate to confront them head-on, as it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

If he were to be touched at all, he would wither in an instant like the sea god at that time, and then turn into ashes!

The only thing to be thankful for is that this ability has not been domain-based, otherwise it would be no exaggeration to say that he is invulnerable. He can directly transform into a human-shaped disaster, and any attack on him will be ineffective.

But even so, Xia Wuyou knew that his strength was inferior to that of the opponent. S+ might be able to get infinitely close to SS, but there was still a gap in hard power.

But she was not afraid. The opportunities to fight with SS were very rare. How could she give up easily?

What she didn't know was that Cheng Gujian's shock might be far greater than hers.

Because the fighting level he displayed was far beyond his expectations!

You know, although he knew that the opponent was not as strong as himself, years of habit would not make him underestimate any opponent. Facing Xia Wuyou's attack, he did not say that he tried his best, but at least he took it seriously.

And his fighting skills were definitely not bad either - as a Grand Duke who was both civil and military, he never relied solely on his abilities to deal with the enemies, but instead combined his abilities with combat skills, striving to kill with one blow.

But now, he can't do that.

He was very agile, but his opponent was just as light as a swallow, even a bit cunning, like a ghost and hard to catch, and he failed to catch his opponent repeatedly!

The opponent's territory is also quite difficult to deal with. The feeling of distorting and squeezing space has almost become a substance.

This is something that his destructive power cannot defeat - isn't the collapse caused by gravity distortion also a kind of destruction?

If we have to say it, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a head-on clash.

Cheng Gujian even had a rare sense of crisis. Compared to the time when he was fighting against the Sea God, Xia Wuyou in front of him had obviously made considerable progress.

He also keenly noticed the "Suwei" on the other party.

With his level, of course he can see at a glance that if Xia Wuyou only relies on his own abilities, he will never be able to reach the level of "posing a threat to himself".

She was able to fight back and forth with herself, and the equipment on her body played an important role in this.

But that's the scary part.

You know, for them, the "Chosen Ones", the higher the level, the smaller the improvement that external objects can bring.

For example, he himself, the Hualan Empire has used many means to enhance the ability of the "Chosen One", but they have had little effect on him.

Don't you want to? Of course not.

It's just because there is a gap between his strength and that of others. Instead of relying on those things, it is better to rely on his own perception, or in other words, he needs an opportunity to step into the "realm of God" that only exists in legends.

But the equipment on Xia Wuyou can do that. Whether it is her battle suit or the sharp blade in her hand, it can bring her a significant improvement.

Even if she is one level lower than himself, this is still a shocking thing. At least with the technological level of the Hualan Empire, it cannot do this.

If the other items that Xu Shi had brought before were just icing on the cake for him, then this method could definitely be said to be an eye-opener for him.

"It's amazing."

He exclaimed sincerely, and at the same time decided to give his opponent the greatest respect.

Dongfang Xiao on the side was also dumbfounded.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and with the little queen's level of supernatural powers, it is certainly impossible for her to consider so many factors in such a short time.

But just watching the confrontation between the two men up close was enough to shock her.

No matter how much she hated Cheng Gujian, she had to admit that he was strong. The reason why she didn't choose to resist and went straight to commit suicide was largely because of this.

In her memory, almost all of them were scenes of Cheng Gujian killing everyone.

Xia Wuyou is probably the first one who can have a mutual exchange with him.

She did not participate in the crusade against the Sea God, and even Xia Wuyou was a stranger to her. This was the first time she saw him take action, and her brain was a little confused for a moment.

Are the people around Xu Shi... so powerful?
