Chapter 44: The Four Great Butchers

  "You..." Zhou Linglu stared at the guards who had turned to ashes in shock, a chill running down her spine. She finally felt threatened, and realized that Ailinda and Tang Yan were not here to play tricks, but had a sure win.

  "County master, if you want to escape, I advise you to give up that idea!" Eriinda tightly entwined Zhou Lingluo, her attacks becoming increasingly fierce and ruthless, each move imbued with killing intent. A large number of blue ice butterflies swirled around her, as if they were a part of her body. Every strong attack was accompanied by their dense explosion, increasing the power of the attack and interfering with Zhou Lingluo's counterattack.

  "Do you want to kill me? Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Princess of Wangfu County! I am the sister of the Imperial Crown Prince!"

  "What does that have to do with anything? You were killed by a monster, not us!" Eriol didn't give her any chance to escape, using all his might to entangle her and prevent Zhou Lingluo from unleashing her deadly martial arts.

  "Others may not know, but Father Wang will definitely guess! At that time... Erynda, Tang Yan, you will all become the Empire's most wanted criminals! Along with your families and friends, you will be nailed to the thousand-year-old ice pillar, tasting the world's suffering until death!" Zhou Lingluo screamed hysterically.

  Wanted criminal? Millennium ice queen? Elinda's offensive momentum was clearly stalled, and these two words brought a strong stimulus.

  Zhou Linglu's spirit was slightly shaken, and she forcefully broke free from the entanglement. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and with a swift turn of her sword, more than a dozen fine wounds were cut open on both arms, and bright red blood flowed out.

  "Seal of Frost!!" Spiritual energy surged and transformed into biting cold air, as blood dripped into it, as if giving them life. It turned into misty claws that viciously struck towards Eirinda.

  "Get out of the way!!" Tang Yan burst forth, heavily colliding with and stunning Elinda, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, an annihilating light bursting forth. At the same time, a dense and intense ghostly blue flame enveloped her entire body.

  Pfft! The light of extinction pierced through the ice claw and Zhou Lingluo behind it, but the power of the ice claw did not dissipate. It charged straight at Tang Yan, and the dark blue flames were extinguished in an instant. Layer upon layer of frost tightly entwined Tang Yan, even his ferocious expression was frozen stiff in that moment.

  "Tang Yan?!" Elinda fell not far away, staring blankly at the stiff ice sculpture, and a faint pang of pain flashed across her mind. She never thought that he would risk his life to save her at such a critical moment.

  Zhou Linglu covered her pierced shoulder, retreated two steps, turned around and fled into the dense forest: "Kill one, you can't escape either, wait for it, Ailinda!!"

  "You can't go anywhere today, stay here!" Elinda's jade face was frosty, and she felt a hard-to-speak anger burning inside her body. Suddenly, she pounced on Zhou Lingluo, no longer caring about the warrant or thinking about the thousand-year-old ice, her attack becoming increasingly frantic.

  Both were second-class martial artists, but Zhou Lingluo's skills were even more exquisite. However, she lacked actual combat experience, especially in this desperate attack style. Moreover, her right shoulder was in severe pain and couldn't bear the weight, rendering her entire right arm useless, unable to even circulate her spiritual energy.

  "You want to play till the end, I'll accompany you till the end. Let's see who can laugh last tonight." Zhou Lingluo stopped running and launched a martial arts attack on Elynda, taking advantage of the opportunity to throw out the last violent symbol card into mid-air. Elynda's face changed slightly, just about to intercept...

  BOOM!!

  A deafening roar like a stone shattering the sky boomed in mid-air, accompanied by the rumbling and trembling of the ground. Looking into the distant sky, sparks and ice crystals scattered across the sky, and the entire sky suddenly lit up at this moment.

  "What's going on?" Zhou Lingluo was slightly dazed, the violent explosion of the Fu card was successful, but the scattered light was completely obscured by this sudden explosion. Even from a distance, she still felt that terrible power.

  "Eagle Wings Spread!!" A piercing eagle cry echoed through the mountains, a dazzling giant flame tore across the sky.

  "Morning Sky Cone!! Give me a break!!" Accompanied by the sound of an old roar, five ice cones shot up into the sky, meeting the fire shadow, rumbling loudly, and another intense explosion scattered flames and ice crystals across the sky.

  However... the ground rumbled and trembled, wave after wave of magma burst into the sky, a terrifying high temperature almost burning the entire dense forest.

  "Tang Ba!! Tang Hao! You're bringing trouble to the Tang family!!" An aged voice echoed through the night, mixed with intense anger and fear.

  "Die!!" A deafening roar shook the mountains and fields, a fiery shadow, a dazzlingly large knife shadow, with an astonishing momentum, violently collided, among them, a huge ice cocoon that formed in an instant burst instantly, a shrill cry had just been let out, when it suddenly stopped!

  "Hua Lao Lao!!" The surrounding forest erupted in waves of angry roars.

  "One won't stay!! Kill!!" From afar, high in the sky, two more figures emerged, their bodies shrouded in flames as they descended upon the scene. Their wild and violent aura was like that of two demons bursting out of a magical realm, their terrifying presence shaking the desolate forest.

  The silent forest fell into chaotic turmoil, the roar of the fierce beasts echoed in all directions, the awakened fifth-level fierce beasts let out a deafening howl, venting their discontent and dominance. However, as they gazed at the four blazing fire silhouettes, they felt the terrifying killing intent within, and these ordinary overbearing fifth-level fierce beasts disappeared one after another.

  Rumble rumble!!

  The mountains shook violently, with cracks crisscrossing everywhere, magma and flames raging wildly, and a series of over 10-meter-long devastating flame blades struck the surrounding area with a terrifying force that could destroy heaven and earth.

  The monsters were in a state of panic, fleeing in all directions, but these magma and flames were indiscriminate blows, sparing none of the monsters, nor the dozen or so white-robed men inside.

  Against the fury of the Four Great Martial Emperors, they... couldn't withstand a single blow...

  Huffing and puffing!! The heavy panting echoed through the mountains, flames dancing in every direction. A pride of lions, each three to four meters long, with fiery manes, their paws and tails ablaze with fierce flames, exuding a majestic yet savage wildness.

  A majestic lion was tightly grasping a delicate girl in its body, who was none other than Miss Tang... Tang Ying!

  "The Blazing Lion has reacted! Tang Yan is nearby! Gather! Gather!!" Tang Ying excitedly shouted, after two months of aimless searching, the Blazing Lion under him finally showed urgent signs, indicating it had caught a familiar scent, which was... Tang Yan!!

  "That is... the four great butchers of the Tang family..." Zhou Linglu stared blankly at the distant sky, a sense of despair spreading in her heart. Four Martial King-level auras, along with fierce killing intent and familiar martial techniques... In this Northern Wasteland, who else could it be besides the four great butchers of the Tang family?!

  As for those flame shadows that flashed horizontally in the forest, they should be the Tang family's raised demon beast - Flame Lion! A third-level peak demon beast!

  Has Tang Yan gone mad?! First, he sent out Wu Wang Tang Qiong to find Tang Yan, and then it was Tang Ba and others. The five great butchers who shook the Northern Wilderness have all been assembled! Even the fierce flame lion, which was considered a treasure by the Tang family, has been released.

  A young master of a wealthy family, how can he bear Tang Yanshan's such frantic search!!!

  Ailinda was also lost in thought for a long time, having lived in Giant Elephant City for many years. She naturally knew the reputation of the five great butchers of the Tang family, who were Tang Yanshan's personal bodyguards, absolutely loyal and absolutely crazy. To a large extent, it was thanks to them that the Tang family was able to build such a huge foundation and rank among the top three of the six major families in the North Wilderness Domain.

  What's going on? Just looking for Tang Yan?

  In the eyes of Tang Jia's old ancestor, Tang Yan, how important is Tang Yan?! If this news were to be transmitted back to Giant Elephant City, I wonder what kind of waves it would stir up.

  "Huh? Isn't that the young master of the county?" A fierce flame lion came running, its massive body and raging flames making it look majestic and powerful. Standing on its back was a slender youth, who was none other than Du Yang from Giant Elephant Academy!

  "What's going on here..." Elinda was still somewhat stunned.

  Du Yang shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. The Tang family seems to have gone crazy looking for Tang Yan. At first, it was just Tang Hao and the Wu Wang who were acting separately, but a month ago they added thirty fierce flame lions and a large number of Tang family guards. Tang Ying and I were relatively lucky, hiding in an individual cave for a month, and fortunately we were found by them."

  "Tang Yan is just ahead, and something might be off."

  "Tang Ying took people to rush over, not lacking me this one, I am still more interested in this county master big sister." Du Yang got down from the fierce flame lion, with great interest, sizing up Zhou Lingluo, a lazy face revealing a cold smile: "Is all of this your plan? I don't care what purpose you have, I only know my best friends are dead because of you, remember clearly, sooner or later one day, I will come back with interest!!"

  Ailinda said: "For your own safety, I advise you to surrender?"

  Zhou Linglu's eyes were gloomy, still thinking of how to escape, but looking at the flames that kept shooting past her and the four figures rushing towards her from afar, as well as Zhou Linglu staring intently at her, it seemed unlikely she could escape today. "You will pay for what you've done today, I... swear!"

  "Let's talk about it after we get out of Giant Elephant City alive." Du Yang pulled out a rope and walked towards Zhou Lingluo, suddenly slapping her without warning.

  "You!!"

  Du Yang grasped Zhou Lingluo's long hair and pulled it to his face, saying viciously: "Don't show off your princess temper in front of me, I won't fall for that!! And the petrification martial skill in your old man's hands will be mine sooner or later!"
