Berserk God of War-Chapter 176: Unexpected, Prince Zhenyun
Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Unexpected, Prince Zhenyun
This army was led by Yan Ruyu and Manager Nian at this moment.
They had obviously received news and emerged from within the city to join the main army, all to block Sikong Jing’s troops decisively.
However, a gleam flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes, and he let out a furious roar at the army!
The wild beast roared, the horses went mad...
"Roar!"
Thousands of demon beasts also roared immediately, causing the opposing horses to charge chaotically and adding to the disorder.
Seeing this, Sikong Jing yelled again, "Break through!"
In an instant, over a million people charged fiercely alongside Sikong Jing, smashing into the opposing army.
Meanwhile, over a hundred experts who had unlocked their True Qi Locks rushed directly toward Yan Ruyu to capture the leader first.
Facing the chaotic horses and such a terrifying onslaught, Manager Nian had no choice but to keep retreating with Yan Ruyu.
"Seize the horses, go!" Sikong Jing commanded firmly.
Originally, they had grouped two or three per horse, but after penetrating the army, the personal soldiers had sharp looks in their eyes.
They lacked True Qi but were once an invincible force on the battlefield, making seizing horses not a difficult task for them.
Screams of agony resounded incessantly, and by the time Sikong Jing’s over a million people left, Yan Ruyu’s army was left in complete disarray.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as billowing dust roared away...
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of strong warriors led by Yuwen Guan also emerged from the city. Though the two swords on him inflicted considerable damage, to slay Sikong Jing, he could not care less!
"Yuwen Guan, why did you let Sikong Jing escape to this side?" Yan Ruyu’s icy gaze shot over.
Instantly, Yuwen Guan’s body trembled violently, and he roared in response, "Ninth Princess, Sui Yu is one of Sikong Jing’s men; you should have reminded me to be cautious when you saw the thousand men from Jin Sect, right?"
A cold counter-question left Yan Ruyu stunned; she had indeed forgotten that in her rage.
It was really because Sui Yu’s prodigal image was too deeply ingrained, that even realizing there was a problem, she had never thought Sui Yu could wound a high-level expert like Yuwen Guan.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu suddenly narrowed her eyes and meekly said, "Brother Guan, this is my fault. I hadn’t expected it to accidentally cause you such serious injury."
"What would I do if you died? I am truly useless!"
As she spoke, she looked at Yuwen Guan with tear-filled, misty eyes, appearing utterly pitiful.
Yuwen Guan’s heart numbed entirely, and he waved his hand heavily, "It’s alright, this injury is nothing to me. Sui Yu has already started to unlock True Qi Locks of Sikong Jing’s personal soldiers; we must not allow them all to be released."
"Ruyu, stay at the rear. I will surely present Sikong Jing’s head to you."
Speaking thus, Yuwen Guan did not delay any longer, continuing the pursuit with his army, while also releasing carrier pigeons to send messages. He was rushing over, and some troops, being too slow, were lagging behind.
He promptly notified them to encircle Sikong Jing together.
As Yan Ruyu watched Yuwen Guan leaving, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, her beautiful eyes sharp with intensity.
The old eunuch, Manager Nian, sighed deeply, "Ninth Princess, Yuwen Guan truly has deep affection for you."
"Yes, my Brother Guan has always been good to me," Yan Ruyu cheerfully responded, but as Manager Nian wasn’t paying attention, a trace of ruthlessness flashed through her eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves arose from another side of the city gates...
Manager Nian and Yan Ruyu frowned and looked over, only to see a crew of about a dozen, bearing the emblem of Zhenyun Royal Mansion... Could it be that Prince Zhenyun had come with troops to assist?
"Such few people, Prince Zhenyun really lacks tact."
At that moment, the troop approached, and one by one, they dismounted and paid great respects to Yan Ruyu. Then the leading young man said, "Ninth Princess, I am Yan Su, the new heir of Zhenyun Royal Mansion."
"I have come specifically to present a grand gift to the Ninth Princess."
Yan Ruyu furrowed her brows again. What kind of gift could now possibly make her happy?
Suddenly, dozens of horses parted, revealing a cage behind them; inside was the pale-faced Luo Shuizhe.
Yan Ruyu was stunned, and then she remembered Luo Shuizhe, who dared to deceive her, the small owner of Yu Xing.
A flash of hatred swept through her eyes, but she shook her head and said, "This gift is not grand."
As for Luo Shuizhe, Yan Ruyu naturally harbored considerable hatred, but to her, this man was insignificant.
"Ninth Princess, when my father was hurriedly coming to Yunzhou City to meet you, he by chance encountered Luo Shuizhe and his party, among them was a woman my brother Yan Ao has long wanted to possess," he said.
"Her name is... Su Yuexi."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu’s eyes widened, and she leaned forward abruptly, staring intensely at Yan Su, waiting for him to continue.
"At this moment, my father is in the midst of pursuing them. Please, Princess, await the good news," said Yan Su, his eyes gleaming with determination.
As the ruler of Zhenyun, he was naturally also informed of the situation in Yunzhou City. He had initially rushed from the Prince Mansion simply to greet the arriving Ninth Princess, but en route, he received news that Yunzhou City was in chaos.
Then, quite coincidentally, he ran into Luo Shuizhe and his party, including Su Yuexi’s family, attempting to flee.
Because of the death of Yan Ao due to the shock, the Zhenyun Royal Mansion, though not daring to make a move, investigated them thoroughly. Combining this with the chaos in Yunzhou City, they immediately ordered an attack.
Luo Shuizhe was the first to be captured alive.
And, protected by over a dozen Jin Sect masters, Su Yuexi’s family was still desperately resisting at this moment.
Yan Ruyu’s spirits soared. She promised, "If Su Yuexi is captured, Prince Zhenyun may return to serve loyally before His Majesty."
Suddenly, Yan Su’s entire body trembled with excitement.
Suddenly, he received a message from the Little Demonic Rat and said, joyously, "We have captured them! Apart from the Jin Sect masters, no one else was spared. My father will bring them here immediately."
"Excellent, hahaha..."
Yan Ruyu burst into maniacal laughter, "Sikong Jing, oh Sikong Jing, despite all your calculations, could you have predicted such a coincidence?"
"Next, I want you to suffer unimaginably!"
...
Meanwhile, Sikong Jing was still unaware that Su Yuexi had just coincidentally been encountered by Prince Zhenyun, and he continued advancing with his massive army.
As he collided with the forces of Yuwen Guan preparing to encircle him, thousands of personal soldiers had unlocked their True Qi Locks within the army. With just half a day more, all personal soldiers below the Transcendent Fourth Realm would have theirs unlocked.
Then, they would have the strength to confront Yuwen Guan head-on.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared—it was one of the Jin Sect masters who had been protecting Su Yuexi’s family’s escape.
He spat blood and said, "Divine Commander Sikong, we unexpectedly encountered Prince Zhenyun’s troops. My lady, she... she has been captured by Prince Zhenyun and is now being sent back to Yunzhou City!"
No sooner had he spoken than the Jin Sect master collapsed to the ground with a thud and passed away.
Sikong Jing was completely stunned. His eyes turned blood-red, and a furious energy surged skyward. Bam, bam, bam... His True Qi suddenly shot from the Heavenly Realm First Level up to the Heavenly Realm Fourth Level.
The entire troop fell deathly silent, each man trembling violently with a mix of rage and fear.
