The three Divine Weapons shredded the mass of Fiery Feather Arrows raining down from above everyone's heads.

Liang Bao and Fan Chen let out a long howl, their bodies shooting into the sky as the Divine Weapons in their hands slashed out a hundred-meter-long, razor-sharp Killing Aura, directly pouncing at several Bird Beast Souls soaring in midair.

Several miserable screams came from midair, and five Bird Beast Soul users plummeted down from the sky.

The remaining Bird Beast Soul assassins knew how terrifying this Divine Weapon Killing Aura was, and they all spread their wings and fled.

Liang Bao and Fan Chen had just landed when they heard a roar from afar; over a hundred people flew out from the distant forest and surrounded everyone in a tight ring.

"Hold steady, don't panic!"

Yang Xiao shouted in a low voice. A dozen people stood back to back, forming a circle.

Two people stepped out from the crowd on the opposite side. Yang Xiao took one look, and sure enough, it was Qin Chuan and the Second Prince.

Qin Chuan and the Second Prince walked forward two steps. Qin Chuan let out a booming laugh and said:

"Yang Xiao, never thought you'd see this day, did you?"

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

"I was wondering who dared ambush us. Turns out it's the richest man of the Flying Leopard Empire, Boss Qin. Oh, right, and the Second Prince. Aren't you afraid the Flying Leopard Emperor will find out you're openly attacking the Prince like this?"

The Second Prince gave a few cold laughs and said:

"Yang Xiao, stop using the Emperor to scare us. Father is old, he won't live many more years, and he can't control me anymore. Besides, you'll all die in this forest soon, not even bones left, eaten clean by Demon Beasts. How would the Emperor ever know I killed you? Hahaha..."

The Prince shouted furiously: 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Wanyan Ying, you're this vicious, you actually want to assassinate me. When Father finds out, he won't let you off."

"Hmph, Royal Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being clueless about the world and insisting on fighting me for the throne. I've prepared for the throne for decades; how could I possibly let you take it?"

Qin Chuan stared at Yang Xiao, thinking of his two sons who had died such horrible deaths, and said:

"Yang Xiao, you killed my two sons in the Flying Leopard Academy. Today, I'll have you pay in blood... Sons, if your spirits in heaven can see, watch how your father avenges you!"

Qin Chuan roared, then waved his hand:

"Go! Kill every last one of them, leave no survivors!"

Over a hundred guards at Empire Level Advanced realm immediately swarmed in from all directions, waves of savage attacks surging like a tidal flood.

The Prince was a bit nervous and said:

"Yang Xiao, what do we do?"

"Don't panic. Stick to the plan—everyone bunch up and focus on Defense. We've got three Two-star Divine Weapons; just hack into the crowd with them!"

Everyone activated a Defensive Light Shield. The Prince, Liang Bao, and Fan Chen each gripped a Two-star Divine Weapon; Killing Aura instantly extended out to about a hundred meters, sweeping madly across the charging crowd.

A Two-star Divine Weapon could instantly kill Empire Level Realm super experts. Whether they were Qin Chuan's guards or the Second Prince's guards, all of them at Empire Level Advanced realm, they couldn't withstand the Killing Aura of a Two-star Divine Weapon.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!..."

In an instant, screams rang out continuously. The dozen guards at Empire Level Realm at the very front were instantly slain, and the people behind were shocked, momentarily at a loss.

The Second Prince roared:

"Spread out and attack! Form a three-dimensional assault from sky and ground! Kill! Whoever takes the Prince's head gets a reward of fifty billion Crystal Coins!"

"Whoever takes Yang Xiao's head, I'll reward with a hundred billion Crystal Coins!"

Qin Chuan shouted loudly.

The remaining men roared as well. Some flew into midair, others continued their assault on the ground, weaving left and right, advancing in a roundabout way, dodging the Killing Aura of the Divine Weapons.

Very soon, dozens of people had reached Yang Xiao and the others, a violent wave of attacks crashing down on them.

In the chaos, Yang Xiao flicked his hand and unleashed the Soul Skill "Sweeping Void."

"Boom!"

A monster's giant tail over a hundred meters long swept out across the sky, blasting the dozen guards who had rushed to the front straight into the air.

Right after, Yang Xiao unleashed Devouring Black Hole.

A gigantic head tore out of the air above, like some primordial Monster. Its massive mouth opened, and a hundred-meter-long vortex appeared on the ground, sucking over a dozen people into it.

The Second Prince saw this and roared, his Divine Weapon in hand as he shot into the sky, chopping viciously at the monster's head in midair.

With a cracking sound, the monster head was shattered by the Second Prince and vanished instantly in midair.

Yang Xiao felt his mind jolt; a mouthful of blood surged up his throat, but he forced it down and swallowed it.

The Divine Weapons in Liang Bao and the others' hands spun ceaselessly, their razor-sharp Killing Aura shredding the surrounding forest to pieces.

However, these guards on the other side weren't pushovers. After overcoming their initial panic, they began to avoid the Killing Aura of the Divine Weapons, maneuvering in midair, continuously pushing wave after wave of attacks toward Yang Xiao and the others.

All kinds of Ice Element, Fire Element, Wind, and Electric Attack intertwined, making the battlefield extremely brutal.

On Yang Xiao's side, three guards couldn't withstand it, were heavily injured, and fell to the ground.

"Where's Xiao Gang? What the hell is Xiao Gang doing? Why hasn't he come out yet? If this keeps up, we won't be able to hold!"

In the distance, the Second Prince laughed wildly,

"Yang Xiao, you're still waiting for Xiao Gang's reinforcements, aren't you? Hahaha, let me tell you, the thirty guards Xiao Gang brought have already been almost completely wiped out by us, practically annihilated. Xiao Gang may have escaped, but he's badly wounded too.

Did you really think such little tricks could fool anyone?

So clever you fooled yourself. Today is your death day. Brothers, kill!"

The Prince and the others broke out in a cold sweat.

"What, the men Xiao Gang brought were killed by them?"

"Then how are we supposed to fight?"

"We should've thought earlier that Xiao Gang's reinforcements might get intercepted."

...

Yang Xiao roared:

"What are you panicking for? In a clash between two armies, the brave win!

We've got three Two-star Divine Weapons; that's enough to keep us alive. Hold the line!"

Yang Xiao's body flickered as he instantly activated his Beast Soul.

A mass of mist instantly spread out, covering several hundred meters.

Then the mist immediately turned into seawater, about a kilometer in diameter and several dozen meters high.

"What's going on?"

The Second Prince cried out in surprise.

Qin Chuan was unconcerned and shouted:

"Don't panic, it's Yang Xiao's Beast Soul Domain. Everyone jump out of the water and keep killing. Kill the Prince first, then deal with Yang Xiao last. Today, no one is getting out of here!"

Qin Chuan's remaining seventy-some men all leaped out of the water, charging toward the Prince.

On the Prince's side, five or six people had died, leaving only seven or eight, relying mainly on the Divine Weapons in Liang Bao and Fan Chen's hands to hold the line.

The Killing Aura of the Divine Weapons was indeed fearsome. Even against these Empire Level Advanced realm powerhouses, within fifty meters, anyone swept by the Killing Aura either died or was crippled, completely unable to defend.

Because of that, Qin Chuan and the Second Prince's men could only use long-range attacks and some sneak assaults; they couldn't press in fully.

"Ommm—"

A sound from ancient times echoed out.

A Giant Beast surfaced halfway out of the water, its enormous eyes flashing with a blood-red light.

Two of Qin Chuan's guards happened to be right next to it and immediately swung the Weapons in their hands, chopping at the Giant Beast's head.

"Ommm!"

The Giant Beast roared, its voice shaking the sky, making everyone's hearts tremble.

The Monster opened its mouth toward the two guards. Their bodies shuddered, they lost control, and were sucked into the beast's mouth by a violent stream of air.

The Giant Beast's huge jaws snapped shut and chewed a few times. Then it opened its mouth and spat, and the two corpses flew out.

Qin Chuan panicked and roared:

"All together! Destroy Yang Xiao's Beast Soul!"
