Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 532 - 528: The Return of the King
After experiencing the events with Dong Baishang, Duan Tingxuan was already disheartened.
Yet he was grateful for his loving parents who, to save him, helped him separate from Dong Baishang smoothly, exchanging the Duan family’s merits for it.
Afterward, they were assigned by His Majesty to guard the city gates of the Southwest Pass in the southwest region.
They defended against the attacks of fierce and mutated beasts from the southwest region, keeping them outside the southwest, preventing them from disturbing the people of the Dongning Beast Kingdom.
Now, the dark aura in the nearby mountains and forests has become increasingly intense, with more and more mutated beasts. They smell the scent of beastmen and instinctively want to attack and devour them.
This long defensive wall and the city gates form a pass.
When they first came here, there weren’t so many mutated beasts, much less a beast tide.
But he was tormented by regret, the feeling of which gnawed at him like countless ants, causing severe pain.
Unable to numb himself, he could only do his duty by guarding the city to feel a bit better.
Several days ago, it seemed like there was a tremor from the southern border, which caused tremors here as well, and soon after, a beast tide attacked the city.
Duan Tingxuan was prepared to sacrifice himself.
In this way, he would die a meaningful death, worthy of his parents’ teachings.
Since coming here, he also took time each day to teach his younger brother, sharing with him all his knowledge and superpower techniques.
Hoping that in the future, he can stand on his own.
These mutated beasts and fierce beasts were extremely ferocious, battling for three days and nights without rest; he sustained severe injuries.
However, Duan Tingxuan did not mind; this pain was nothing compared to the anguish of regret tormenting him daily.
So he fought with even more courage.
Although the mutated ferocious beasts had little intelligence, they instinctively perceived this beastman as the toughest to deal with, understanding that they had to eliminate him to have a chance of breaching the city.
Duan Tingxuan’s parents and brother wanted to help, but they were also tied down by many mutated ferocious beasts, guarding various parts of the city walls, unable to move freely.
Otherwise, the protection array could be breached.
When Duan Tingshu turned to look at his brother, he suddenly saw more than a dozen of the fiercest mutated ferocious beasts climbing over the city walls, leaping towards his brother to attack.
His brother, severely injured, could not withstand such a number of mutated ferocious beasts; their claws seemed ready to tear him apart.
At that moment, he realized his brother was about to use the family forbidden technique of a blood sacrifice to kill these mutated ferocious beasts.
"No, brother, don’t."
The blood sacrifice must not be used.
But Duan Tingxuan did not hesitate; he performed the blood sacrifice, unleashing a powerful force that instantly dealt with the dozen mutated ferocious beasts climbing over the walls. This power even wiped out all the beasts near the city gates.
However, his body could not withstand this force and reached its limit.
In the moment he collapsed, he saw Su Muyao in a daze.
He thought he was hallucinating at the moment of death.
Seeing an illusion before dying, seeing her, was a good thing.
...
When Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi arrived, they saw this scene, Su Muyao unsheathed the Green Lotus Sword, and where the Sword Qi passed, countless mutated beasts perished.
It was as if a path had been carved out in the air.
With a light step of her toe, her clothes soaring, the Sword Qi swept across.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only sword light like a waterfall.
The green light of the Green Lotus Sword burst from the tip, sweeping out like the Milky Way pouring down.
Where the Sword Qi passed, countless mutated ferocious beasts’ bodies were instantly split in half.
The hard scale armor of many mutated ferocious beasts shattered like paper, their massive bodies crashing down, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Even the fierce kite beasts hovering in the sky couldn’t react in time and were sliced through the wings by the Sword Qi, causing them to fall into the beast horde, triggering chaos.
The Sword Qi did not stop; it weaved through the beast tide like a living creature, stirring up layers of blood mist wherever it passed.
The previously fierce and malicious mutated ferocious beasts didn’t even have the chance to struggle, turning into pieces and remnants.
The people defending the city were dumbfounded; they had never seen such powerful strength, and just with one Sword Qi, half a mile of the beast horde was swept clean, leaving only a three-foot-deep sword scar on the ground, radiating slight spiritual power fluctuations.
Su Muyao sheathed her sword with the fluidity of flowing water.
Not a drop of blood stained her dress as she looked into the depths of the beast tide, where an angry roar came from, evidently having disturbed the leader of the beast tide.
The leader of the beast tide, the most powerful mutated ferocious beast, a rhino armor beast of more than ten levels, led the last group of mutated beasts charging forward.
Su Muyao turned around, leaving a tall silhouette for everyone, her clothes fluttering as she went to face the leader of the beast tide.
She wielded her sword once more, with spiritual energy resonating, resolving the leader of the beast tide and the last batch of mutated ferocious beasts with ease.
Just one sword, resolving it instantly.
The people on the city walls were shocked, and after the shock came excitement.
"So strong."
"Who is she? She saved us."
"One sword broke through ten thousand beasts... she’s too powerful."
Realizing what had happened, everyone became excited and cheered.
"It’s all right now."
"It’s all right now."
The city wall erupted in earth-shaking cheers.
Only the Duan family mumbled softly, "It’s the Crown Princess, it’s her!"
She saved them.
Duan Tingshu snapped back to reality and hurried to his brother’s side.
By now, Duan Tingxuan had already passed out, barely clinging to life.
Tears flowed from Duan Tingshu’s eyes, "Brother, did you see? The Crown Princess has come, she saved us, the beast tide is resolved, all those mutated beasts were slain, it’s all right now."
"Brother, hold on, I’ll take you to the witch doctor, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine."
Duan Tingze spoke with a choked voice.
He was grieved for his elder brother, who was once such a bright and righteous person.
How could it end up like this?
The Duan Family Master and Mr. Duan couldn’t bear to watch and turned their heads away.
The blood sacrifice was a forbidden technique, and Duan Tingxuan used it without reservation; even the witch doctor could do nothing.
The Duan Family Master was deeply saddened and began blaming herself, if only she had discovered Dong Baishang’s issues back then.
If only she had insisted on not allowing Duan Tingxuan to forcibly break the contract with Su Muyao, letting him go into exile with Miss Su, everything would have been different.
At this moment, Su Muyao walked over, crouched down, and used her Wood Element Ability to heal Duan Tingxuan.
The powerful light of the Wood Element Ability instantly enveloped Duan Tingxuan, healing all his injuries.
Now, Duan Tingxuan only had a Level 7 superpower, even with the blood sacrifice, Su Muyao’s Level 28 Wood Element Ability could still save him.
As the Crown Princess of the Dongning Beast Kingdom, she naturally wouldn’t hesitate to use her Wood Element Ability to heal those who contributed to guarding the city gates.
Regardless of who it was, she would save them.
"Crown... Princess?"
Duan Tingze watched as his elder brother’s wounds healed rapidly, witnessing the powerful healing ability, he could hardly believe it.
Even the Duan Family Master and Mr. Duan found it hard to believe.
That Miss Su, she could save Tingxuan without holding a grudge, they really couldn’t believe it, yet they were immensely grateful.
They could see that Miss Su’s current strength was exceptionally formidable; they no longer had the qualification to stand in her presence.
She was so radiant.
Then they looked at Wen Nanxi, who silently accompanied and protected her.
The Duan Family Master felt increasingly guilty and sorrowful.
They were truly wrong.
