The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1013 Summoning Celestial Creatures
As Zhao Li Xin's figure disappears, a thin, gaunt-faced young man appears from hiding and approaches Wei Zu Tian's lifeless body with a subtle glint of interest in his eyes. That young man was Xiang Yu, one of Wei Zu Tian Heaven's Knights and also one of his close subordinates like Gao Mo. ๐๐๐e๐ธ๐๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ผ๐el.๐๐m
Compared to the other Heaven's Knights, he is the quietest and more introverted, but like Gao Mo and others, he also has a deviation in his attitude which makes him recruited by Wei Zu Tian. What people said that 'Bird of a feather flock together that was so true. However, unlike the relationship between Zhao Li Xin with the King Palace, there is no loyalty between Wei Zu Tian and his close subordinate.
Xiang Yu knelt on one knee beside Wei Zu Tian then his eyes traced Wei Zu Tian's chest which had been torn apart until the entire chest to his upper waist was covered in dark red almost black blood which was probably caused by the medicine made by Lao Min Na which Wei Zu Tian recently consumed.
Xiang Yu carefully examined the wounds on Wei Zu Tian's body, it turned out that the wounds caused by Zhao Li Xin were much more severe than they looked soon after a hint of disappointment appeared on Xiang Yu's face.
It was common knowledge that Xiang Yu had a strange attraction to corpses, unlike Gao Mo who couldn't control his lust for everything that moved, Xiang Yu only felt an attraction to dead humans, especially women but he didn't mind if it was men either, but the standard had to be very high like Wei Zu Tian and Zhao Li Xin level, that was why seeing Wei Zu Tian's mangled corpse made him feel an overwhelming feeling of regret.
Xiang Yu stared at Wei Zu Tian's corpse for a while then he picked up the corpse and then swept his eyes to surround him after he was sure that no one was around, he took a long jump and then disappeared at an inhuman speed.

Meanwhile when Zhao Li Xin was searching for Lory suddenly the sky changed drastically and a very strong wind blew, blowing his robe and hair, Zhao Li Xin reflexively looked up at the sky and deep wrinkles formed on his brows.
Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth and then quickened his speed because he knew something big was about to happen. Elsewhere, Lory was chanting her spell inwardly, her body was enveloped in soft purple light, at the same time Lao Min Na threw several attacks toward Lory's shield but to no avail. Realizing all her attempts failed, Lao Min Na's face darkened, but she refused to give up so Lao Min Na used everything she got and then threw another attack at Lory before long her efforts finally pay off, soon thin cracks appeared on the surface of Lory's transparent shield, seeing that Lao Min Na's face beamed with delight.
[Lory!] Girsha quickly warns Lory.
Girsha knew with incomplete power doing advanced spells while creating a powerful shield at the same time taking too much from her therefore Lory had to finish her spell quickly before the power itself took over and injured her instead.
Lory knew this but didn't dare to underestimate Lao Min Na because after all her power came from Lazarus so to defeat her Lory had to use everything she got even though the risk she received will be quite big.
The worst thing that happens is Lory will drain all her mana and put herself in a coma state, and if that happens she can only depend on Girsha's protection, hopefully, Lazarus doesn't come if that happens then even Girsha will not be able to face Lazarus and Lao Min Na at the same time.
[Girsha, if anything happens to me...]
[I'll protect you, girlโฆdo what you need to do I'll be by your side] Girsha interrupted with a calm measured voice that relays comfort.
Lory's lips curved into a faint smile [Thanks...] Lory said.
The wind was blowing harder and suddenly a gust of wind swept Lao Min Na, at first Lao Min Na was able to block him by making a blood shield in front of her but then Lory's wind slashed Lao Min Na and the wind grew harder and faster until Lao Min Na finally bounced off with scratches on her arms and legs.
Before long rain poured heavily like waterfalls then followed by a high neighing sound echoed and from behind the grey sky a giant Seahorse with a long fishtail galloped at high speed together with torrential rain.
The Seahorse's shrill voice made Lao Min Na's heart tremble violently, soon a chill pricking her skin like needles 'This is the end she thought.
The giant Seahorse swooped toward Lao Min Na while opening its huge jaws, Lao Min Na froze as the creature's mouth got closer and closer and panic roared through her head as the creatures were only an inch away from her suddenly black smoke appeared from thin air and shield her.
Lazarus floated in the air, as usual, he used someone else's body so he looked different, but once the vicious yellow snake eyes remained that Lory recognized him immediately even with just a glance.
Lazarus smiled warmly gently at Lory as if missing her which only gave Lory goosebumps, Lazarus then turned his gaze to the furious giant Seahorse who was still kicking and hitting his shield relentlessly, while Lao Min Na froze on the ground as her legs had long given up. She sat limply on the ground helplessly staring at the only thing separating him from the giant seahorse which was Lazarus' black smoke shield.
"Why do you keep protecting her?" Lory frowned, she couldn't believe Lazarus was being sentimental.
"In time, my dear princess... in time..." a smirk appeared on the edge of Lazarus' mouth.
"But before that..." Lazarus turned his yellow eyes at the giant seahorse then he raise his hand and the smoke shield morphed into a black snake then wrapped tightly around the Seahorse's body, the Seahorse struggled to escape but the snake won't budge then the creature's eyes stared at Lazarus with deep resentment but Lazarus just smirked. Lazarus clenched his fist and the snake tighten its grip around the Seahorse causing the Seahorse to scream in pain.
Lory couldn't bear to see the Seahorse get hurt so Lory mustered up her last bit of strength to throw an attack at Lazarus which forced Lazarus to raise his other hand to block Lory's attack as a result his concentration was slightly split for a second at that time Lory shouted inwardly<strong> [Girsha, NOW!]</strong>
[But Lory you will...] ??Girsha hesitated.
But Lory quickly cut him off <strong>[I'll be fine! JUST GO!]</strong>
Lory summoned dozens of ice giants and threw them at Lazarus, while Girsha separated from Lory and flew towards the seahorse while letting out a loud squawk that caused sound waves that hit Lazarus' snake causing the snake's grip to loosen slightly. The Seahorse took the opportunity to bite the snake's body and finally the snake released its grip.
Meanwhile, without Girsha Lory's wings in free fall, with a little of her strength, she makes a rune circle in order to stop her from falling. Unfortunately, Lory's power has been drained she can barely maintain her consciousness, let alone control her movement therefore her body bounces out of the circle due to the speed.
Lory then painstakingly circled another rune but the same thing happened, soon he ran out of mana, alas, she could only allow herself to be pulled by gravity, and with this speed, Lory knew that half of her bones would be crushed when she hot the ground, but it wasn't the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is due to lack of mana, her healing gift will work slower, even though she can handle the pain, however, what Lory is worried about is that Lao Min Na might take this opportunity to kill her.
'Dam* the old bird will kill me' Lory sighed inwardly.
Lory closed her eyes as she watched the ground get closer and closer to her face, Lory could only lament to herself 'Yup, this is going to be hurt' she sighed resignedly.
As she was in a pinch, Lory closed her eyes and prepared for a painful impact but suddenly she was caught by a strong arm, the scent of pine mixed with agarwood wafting through her nose. Lory slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Zhao Li Xin's perfect jawline.
