Those who could attend the wedding banquet at the palace were undoubtedly from the top echelons of society, very familiar with extraordinary beings, and knew the strength of Xuan Turtle and Lei Mingming.

"How could this happen? Director Lei has been loyal to the Holy Zhou Kingdom for so many years, how could she choose to betray us at this time?"

Many of the veteran officials who knew Lei Mingming well were filled with disbelief.

"Report~~~~~"

However, bad news always comes in waves. Immediately, another man dressed as a palace guard ran into the main hall of the palace shouting:

"It's terrible, Your Majesty! A large number of bizarre creatures have suddenly appeared in the capital. They are almost all members of the Truth Society who have infiltrated the city disguised as ordinary people during Your Highness's wedding."

"What? A large number of Truth Society members have entered the capital?"

Before the Empress could speak, an elderly minister with white hair cried out in alarm, his face drained of color, and his whole body trembled:

"Then...how many civilians have been injured or killed?"

"This……"

The imperial guard who brought the message first looked up at the Empress before answering:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, there have been no casualties up to the time I came to report this... Those monsters are currently only vandalizing and burning public property, and have not injured anyone. However, the people are very frightened, and it will be difficult for the police and our Imperial Guards to defeat those monsters in a short time. I urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Um……"

The Queen hesitated for a few seconds:

"The fact that there are no casualties so far does not mean there will be no casualties. He is eccentric, unpredictable, and dangerous. We must not risk the safety of the people... Lü Meng!"

"My subordinate is here!"

A mascot that had been standing quietly in the corner suddenly split open, and a cybernetic hunk jumped out, kneeling before the Queen and awaiting orders.

"You must immediately take the palace inspectors and investigators and set out to wipe out the monsters currently causing chaos in the capital. Make sure the safety of the people is guaranteed!" the Empress said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Meng first accepted the order, then hesitated and said:

“But if my subordinates take the Investigation Bureau personnel away, what will happen to the security at the Imperial Palace…”

"You don't need to worry about things here."

The Queen waved her hand magnanimously, then glanced at the foreign guests with their varied expressions:

"Most guests are accompanied by strong guards. When facing enemies who are not of our kind, humans still unite as one. I believe in them."

"I understand..."

Without further hesitation, Lü Meng immediately sent out the signal.

Thump thump thump thump.

All the mascots at the wedding banquet burst open from within, and more than 30 men with distinctive temperaments and appearances jumped out. They followed Lü Meng out of the palace to deal with the bizarre creatures causing trouble in the capital.

After the male superhumans from the Bureau of Investigation left the palace, the Queen announced the wedding was canceled and instructed the palace maids to guide the guests to safety.

While the escape of the Black Tortoise and the betrayal of Lei Mingming were dangerous, they wouldn't immediately affect the Imperial Palace. The strange occurrences within the capital were also being handled by the elite investigators of the Investigation Bureau, so they weren't a major problem either.

As long as the guests in the palace follow the guidance and evacuate in an orderly manner, they should be able to protect themselves.

However, those with ulterior motives will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to cause trouble.

The first to strike was Erica, the daughter of the White Eagle Federation president. With a high-frequency vibrating hand chop, she shattered the head of her country's Secretary of State. Blood and brains splattered all over the Secretary of State's wife, scaring the poor lady so much that she wet herself and then immediately fainted without even letting out a scream.

This seemed to be a signal; as Erica took action, many of the guests suddenly turned on each other, ruthlessly killing those around them.

The president of England transformed into a werewolf-like monster and bit his own bodyguard to death.

The Aryan female president, on the other hand, was swallowed whole by the giant-mouthed monster that her bodyguard had transformed into. When she was spat out a few seconds later, all that remained were her bones and high heels.

This was only what happened inside the main hall of the palace. Because the main hall of the palace had limited space, only people of extremely high status could enter. Apart from the most powerful and influential people in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, only the three major delegations of the Freedom Covenant—the White Eagle, the Yinglan, and the Aryans—could enter.

The square outside was even more chaotic. Almost every delegation experienced a change in its situation. Some members suddenly turned into monsters and began killing those around them, while others were betrayed and turned on their own people.

For example, one of the two holy maidens from the Olympic Kingdom stabbed her best friend to death with a sweet smile, and then used a light axe to kill the president she was supposed to protect.

The entire palace instantly descended into chaos. The guests, who had suddenly turned into monsters or turned hostile, killed those around them and immediately rushed towards the nearest nobles of the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

The same thing happened inside the main hall of the palace. Erica used a high-frequency vibrating hand chop to strike the Empress, while the Yinglan werewolf and the Aryan big-mouth monster rushed towards the ministers of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, intending to slaughter them.

"Protect His Majesty and His Highness, let's go first!"

Qin Huanyu had been secretly observing the Empress and the Princess's expressions. Seeing that they remained calm, she knew that the situation was still under control.

She didn't actually want to act too soon, but her identity as a policewoman was too conspicuous, so she had no choice but to unseal the Dragon-Slaying Mace and head towards Erica.

At the same time, Shirley also took over the physical control of the more than 300 arrogant cultists at the wedding banquet.

Many guests who were initially paralyzed with fear suddenly became extremely brave.

Even though they knew they were no match for the monsters and superhumans, they still grabbed the stools and bottles at hand and charged forward.

Although they were killed with screams in less than a few seconds, that was enough time for the nobles of the Holy Zhou Kingdom to run away a certain distance.

Moreover, all the backdoors that Qin Huanyu had left inside the mechanical spider beforehand were also triggered at this time.

Erica ordered those who remained at the mission's residence to do everything in their power to cause trouble in the capital, the bigger the commotion the better.

Qin Huanyu immediately activated her highest level of access to the mechanical spiders, creating the illusion that they were functioning normally. In reality, they directly attacked the brains of those implanted with the mechanical spiders, stunning them all.

Erica was unaware of all this; she laughed wildly when she saw Qin Huanyu meet the attack.

"Hahahaha... A futile struggle! Your Holy Zhou Kingdom's gods will surely be reduced to ruins today!"

Qin Huanyu ignored her and didn't reply.

The Dragon-Slaying Mace and the high-frequency hand blade collided instantly without making a sound. The high-frequency hand blade once again entered a phantom state, passing directly through the Dragon-Slaying Mace and piercing towards Qin Huanyu's heart.

The Kanglong Mace is a horizontal swing, while the high-frequency hand knife is a straight thrust. The Kanglong Mace loses its lethality after passing through the illusory high-frequency hand knife, but the high-frequency hand knife still pierces towards Qin Huanyu's heart.

Tactically speaking, Erica's attack was very successful. If someone had never seen her high-frequency hand-blade intangibility ability, they would most likely have been killed by her first encounter.

However, Qin Huanyu had secretly followed Erica for more than 10 days and witnessed Erica using this trick to ambush many people, so she was already on guard.

She leaned back, dodging the high-frequency hand blade's thrust, and at the same time, she unsealed the alloy tentacles on her lower back, using the spirit-suppressing iron needles at the tips like a scorpion's tail to launch a surprise attack on Erica's body from between her legs.

puff!

The alloy tentacles launched a successful surprise attack, piercing Erica in one strike. However, Qin Huanyu did not feel any sensation of piercing a living person; instead, it felt like she had punctured a pile of foul-smelling mud.

And that was indeed the case; there was no flesh or blood in the holes in Erica's body, only a foul-smelling, black, muddy substance.

"So that's how it is. You're not the real Erica!"

Qin Huanyu then realized:

"You are also a monster from the Truth Society in disguise!"

"The Truth Society... Hmph, whatever you think it is."

Erica was also surprised that Qin Huanyu could defend against her tried-and-true killing move. Her eyes were no longer as arrogant as before, and she became serious.

"I didn't expect you, this pretty but talentless policewoman, to have some skills... I've decided, I'll use your body as my next body!"

After she finished speaking, her body vibrated at a high frequency again, and she pounced on Qin Huanyu. The two of them fought each other with very sophisticated fighting techniques.

On the other side, the Yinglan werewolf and the Aryan big-mouth monster were also stopped, and it was Zero and her companions, disguised as palace maids, who made the move.

Zero faced the Yinglan werewolf alone, using both holy light magic and Bajiquan. Each punch burned the werewolf's body with holy light while also damaging its internal organs.

"Aaaaaah... It's that damned holy light!"

The Yinglan werewolf was clearly in great pain, but it also became more furious and violent. Its strength and speed increased every second, and its sharp claws not only made a whistling sound as they cut through the air, but also unleashed invisible, sharp, long-range attacks like sword energy.

Zero's palace maid outfit was quickly torn to shreds, but she was not exposed.

Almost the instant the palace maid's outfit shattered, Zero completed her spell, using the power of holy light to summon a beautiful high-slit nun's outfit.

The concentration of spiritual energy on this nun's robe is extremely high, making it a treasure worthy of being added to the Royal Treasury. It is very likely the reward from a previous mission.

The werewolf's ranged claw attacks could no longer tear Zero's clothes; instead, its claws would burn itself when they hit Zero's nun's clothes, enraging it.

Obviously, in terms of attributes, the Yinglan werewolf is stronger, but Zero, who is proficient in both Holy Light magic and Bajiquan, is very effective against it and can defeat the stronger one with the weaker one.

The Aryan Big Mouth Monster was stopped by Bai Ling and Yuan Baixue, and was almost killed by them.

Yuan Baixue's tactics remained the same; her melee combat was extremely weak, and she could only stay at a distance to buff Bai Ling while simultaneously applying debuffs to the Aryan Big Mouth Monster.

Bai Ling wasn't originally good at close combat, but she's different now.

The Jade Spirit Sword, which Qin Huanyu tailored for Bai Ling, performed exceptionally well in this battle, even exceeding the expectations of Qin Huanyu, the designer and maker.

The Jade Spirit Sword was originally designed to compensate for Bai Ling's insufficient physical output in human form. Its design concept referenced the principle of industrial water jets, using diamond powder added to the high-pressure water jet to achieve a sharpness that could cut through iron like mud.

Bai Ling didn't really understand the principles of industrial water jets, and she never imagined that her water control talent could be used in this way.

Inspired by Qin Huanyu, Bai Ling later made some improvements to the Jade Spirit Sword. She not only added diamond powder to the high-pressure water jet, but also some spirit-repelling iron powder!

The results are very good.

When the Aryan Big Mouth Monster faced the Jade Spirit Sword, its physical defense and spiritual defense seemed to be non-existent. Like tender tofu under a kitchen knife, it was almost sliced ​​into pieces by Bai Ling.

Realizing the power of the Jade Spirit Sword, the Aryan Big Mouth Monster wanted to temporarily avoid its attack, but it was too late.

Although Yuan Baixue was a bit incompetent and stupid, her combat awareness was still excellent. She did not miss this excellent opportunity and immediately used all her strength to cast a stun spell on the Aryan Big Mouth Monster.

The Aryan Big Mouth Monster was undoubtedly much stronger than Yuan Baixue, and it only took him less than three seconds to break free from Yuan Baixue's full-force immobilization spell.

But Bai Ling killed the Aryan Big Mouth Monster completely with the Jade Spirit Sword in less than three seconds... Bai Ling's first sword separated the Big Mouth Monster from its mouth, and then she used a vertical sword to complete a cross-shaped cut on the Aryan Big Mouth Monster.

A monster with strength definitely at the level of an inspector died so ignominiously, much to the surprise of both sides engaged in fierce combat inside the main hall of the palace.

The archbishop of the White Eagle Gospel Apocalypse Church, who had initially seemed to be about to make a move, immediately put on a look of being terrified and demented. Supported by his surviving bodyguards, he followed the royal family and dignitaries of the Holy Zhou Kingdom and evacuated through the back door of the main palace.

Chapter 177 This young lady wants to be the main character!

Thanks to the heroic sacrifice of those more than 300 arrogant believers, the nobles and foreign guests of the Holy Zhou Kingdom who were not killed immediately have mostly hidden themselves in various corners and are temporarily in hiding.

The palace guards, soldiers, and other female members of the Investigation Bureau disguised as palace maids also stepped in to fight the superhumans and monsters who suddenly attacked those around them outside the main hall of the palace.

Unfortunately, all of Lu Meng's male members of the Investigation Bureau had left the palace, which resulted in a shortage of guards and made the palace somewhat powerless against the attacks of dozens of monsters and superhumans.

The Bureau members and internal guards with superhuman abilities or advanced technology are doing well, but the ordinary guards who only use ordinary weapons are already suffering casualties under the powerful attacks of monsters and enemy superhumans.

Fortunately, in the battle inside the main hall of the palace, thanks to the outstanding performance of the Jade Spirit Sword, the palace guards held an absolute advantage.

After Bai Ling and Yuan Baixue worked together to kill the Aryan Big Mouth Monster, they immediately went to help Qin Huanyu attack Erica.

But this time things didn't go so smoothly.

Erica is strange; her body, which is essentially foul-smelling black mud, seems to be immune to physical attacks. She is unharmed even when she is cut in half at the waist or beheaded by the Jade Spirit Sword, and can continue fighting by sticking the two parts of her body together.

On the contrary, Qin Huanyu was also afraid of being accidentally injured by the Jade Spirit Sword, which made her hesitant in the fight. The three-on-one situation was not as efficient as when she fought one-on-one.

Seeing this, Bai Ling and Yuan Baixue decisively broke away from the battle and went to Zero's side to join forces in attacking the Yinglan werewolf.

This time the effect was much better.

Monsters like high-ranking werewolves are not afraid of most conventional firepower not only because of their strong bodies, but more importantly because they have magical (spiritual) defense.

Without the extraordinary power brought by the spiritual essence, no carbon-based life form's flesh and blood body could withstand large-caliber machine gun bullets, let alone industrial water jets that could cut through iron like mud.

Even a normal industrial water jet would have difficulty breaking through the spiritual defenses of a transcendent being, but the high-pressure water jet of the Jade Spirit Sword contains infinitely recyclable Spirit-Extinguishing Iron Powder, which makes the Jade Spirit Sword a peerless sword with both anti-magic properties and unparalleled sharpness.

First, Zero seized the opportunity to unleash a combo of elbow strikes and punches, causing the Yinglan werewolf to stagger and completely lose its balance. Then, Yuan Baixue stacked multiple immobilization talismans, creating a powerful control spell that left the Yinglan werewolf immobilized for several seconds, like a human trapped in a swamp. Finally, Bai Ling wielded her Jade Spirit Sword and swiftly struck twice, creating an "X" that split the Yinglan werewolf into four pieces.

Even so, the Yinglan werewolf was not completely dead; its body, broken into four pieces, was still struggling on the ground, trying to piece itself back together.

But Zero certainly wouldn't give it a chance. Her long, beautiful legs, encased in black stockings beneath her high-slit nun's habit, were raised high and slammed down on the werewolf's head with all her might, smashing it to pieces and killing it instantly.

After killing the Yinglan werewolf, Zero surveyed the situation inside and outside the hall, pondered for a few seconds, and then made a decision:

“We don’t need to worry about Ayu, she can handle it herself. Let’s go outside and help. Ling’er, you’re going to make a great contribution this time.”

"No problem... hiss!"

Having slain two formidable enemies in succession, Bai Ling was also very excited, her eyes even turning a little red, and her tongue instantly reverting to a snake's forked tongue.

After the three left the palace hall, they immediately joined the fierce battle outside.

This time, Zero also took the initiative to play support, creating various opportunities for Bai Ling to kill enemies.

She changed her boxing style from the fierce and unparalleled Bajiquan to Taijiquan. Instead of injuring the enemy with her fists, she tried to use skillful force to control the enemy and throw them in front of Bai Ling or onto Yuan Baixue's immobilization talisman.

Bai Ling's Jade Spirit Sword slashed incessantly. Like a butcher slaughtering chickens in a slaughterhouse, she could kill a monster or an enemy superhuman in two or three strikes at most, and in many cases, she could even kill the enemy with a single strike.

Like the Holy Maiden of the Olympic Kingdom who ambushed her own sisters and killed her own country's president, she couldn't even withstand a single strike from the Jade Spirit Sword and was cleaved in two diagonally.
