No longer with a knife, use your own claws and teeth, Xiang Chen's tall figure, carrying his younger sister on his back, his body slightly bowed, like a fierce tiger about to pounce on his enemies, a ferocious wolf.
"Hmph, if you don't know your place, then I'll have to take you out myself and bring you back," Wang Ce sneered, a strong surge of true energy emanating from him, surrounded by a faint red light.
"Kill!"
Wang Ce explosively unleashed his true energy, his sword like a shooting star, attacking Xiang Chen.
"Stop hurting my lord!"
A voice from not far away, a middle-aged man like an arrow, wielding a broad sword, with a powerful aura.
Boom...!
The heavy sword heavily collided with Wang Ce's, a powerful surge of true energy erupting and clashing.
Wang Ce stepped back, looking startled and angry at the newcomer.
The newcomer was a tall man, dressed in a black martial robe, with a full beard, wielding a large black heavy sword.
This man was also a master of the innate realm.
"Uncle Mu!" Xiang Chen exclaimed in surprise at the sight of this man.
"Uncle Mu!" Ye Rou also recognized him.
Zhao Mu! One of the former bodyguards under his mother, who was sent away by Lin Lian and the remaining loyalists of the Xiang family.
Zhao Mu, unwilling to join, was driven out of the Xiang family.
Zhao Mu was extremely loyal to his mother and had a very good relationship with Xiang Chen from childhood.
"Second Young Master, Miss Rou, are you okay?" Zhao Mu asked Xiang Chen, holding the heavy sword.
Although Xiang Chen's body had undergone great changes, his appearance had not changed, and with Ye Rou on his back, how could he not recognize the boy he had watched grow up and who was so close to the bodyguards.
"Uncle Mu, I'm fine, why are you here?" Xiang Chen asked in surprise.
"I was driven out of the Xiang family by the Queen Mother and have been living on this street. When I heard the sound of a battle, I came over to see, and I never expected it to be you. I apologize for the late arrival, Young Master."
"Damn Lin Lian, treating you and the loyalists of the Xiang family like this," Xiang Chen said angrily.
"Forget about that. Although I don't know what happened, I will protect the Young Master and Miss Rou. You should leave, and I will deal with these people."
Zhao Mu said, even though Xiang Chen's mother had fallen from power, he had not forgotten the kindness shown to him by his master. There were people in this world who sought favor and betrayed others in times of danger, and there were those who were loyal and courageous, willing to help at all costs.
Qin Rong, Xiang Quan were the former, while Ye Rou and Zhao Mu were the latter.
The same seed could grow into many different kinds of people.
Some people's kind words could warm others during the coldest of winters, while others could harm people from miles away without distinguishing between right and wrong.
"Who are you, and do you know what you're interfering with? This boy is the target of our capture."
Wang Ce said coldly, Zhao Mu was also a master of the innate realm.
"Zhao Mu, under the command of the Queen Mother, has come to protect the Young Master. If anyone wants to harm him, they'll have to step over my dead body first," Zhao Mu said coldly.
"Even the Queen Mother has been deposed, and you remnants still dare to meddle. You're asking for it. Attack together!"
Wang Ce shouted and with the help of his two subordinates, attacked Zhao Mu.
"Kill!"
Zhao Mu swung his heavy sword, a strong sword energy swirling around, facing three opponents.
"Young Lord, quickly escape! I will find you later!"
Zhao Mu shouted, commanding Xiang Chen to flee, as he faced off against Wang Ce and his two subordinates.
"Brother, you're injured, go hurry, don't waste Uncle Mu's kindness," Ye Rou said.
Xiang Chen's eyes reddened as he shouted, "I will never forget Uncle Mu's kindness. Take care!"
With that, Xiang Chen fled, thinking only of the safety of his sister on his back.
"Damn it!"
Wang Ce was furious, intending to pursue Xiang Chen, but was stopped by Zhao Mu.
"Hahaha, you think you can escape?"
On both sides of the street, laughter rang out from the rooftops.
Another figure, accompanied by more than a dozen people, appeared on the rooftops.
Five people landed at the end of the street to block the way, while six others, armed with bows and arrows, aimed at Xiang Chen from the rooftops.
"Wang Qing!"
Wang Ce was overjoyed and shouted, "Don't let that boy escape."
"Damn, another master of the innate realm!" Zhao Mu exclaimed in anger.
Wang Qing, another master of the innate realm from the Wang family, arrived with more than ten elite guards.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Chen's heart sank. Was this the end for him?
"Xiang Chen, you've crippled our young master's arms, and now you want to escape? Come back with me to the Wang family and meet your end."
Wang Qing sneered.
"Is this how the Wang family operates?" Xiang Chen asked coldly.
"Hmph, so what if we do? You injured our family's young master, and you expect to escape without consequences? Do you think you're still the prince of Xiang? Your father has been thrown into prison."
Wang Qing sneered.
"Bastard!" Zhao Mu roared, wanting to charge forward, but was stopped by Wang Ce.
One of Wang Ce's men took the opportunity to stab Zhao Mu's left arm, piercing through it.
"Kneel and beg for mercy, beg for your life, and I'll take you to the Wang family alive."
Wang Qing sneered. He wanted to experience the feeling of having the son of a prince begging for mercy.
"Fine, I beg you."
Xiang Chen said in a low voice, slowly kneeling down.
"Hahaha, even the son of a prince has to kneel and beg for mercy in the face of life and death," Wang Qing laughed loudly.
His men also laughed as they watched Xiang Chen prepare to kneel.
However!
At the moment when Xiang Chen's knees were about to touch the ground, a powerful demonic energy erupted from him, and he shot out like a bullet, charging towards the seven-meter high rooftop, killing a nearby guard from the Wang family.
"I'll make you all die!"
Xiang Chen roared, tearing apart the guard's head with a fierce swipe of his claws.
Bang!
The guard's smile had not faded before a terrifying palm force struck, instantly shattering his head like a watermelon, sending his body flying seven or eight meters away.
The other guards from the Wang family's faces changed, and Xiang Chen immediately jumped to attack the second person, leaving a hole in the roof.
"You little beast seeking death!"
Wang Qing was furious, surging with true energy, and a palm of condensed true energy struck Xiang Chen.
Puff...
Xiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew like a sandbag, falling to the ground, and tumbling towards the street, with Ye Rou being thrown aside.
"Fire arrows!"
The other guards, shocked and furious, quickly pulled their bows and shot arrows at Xiang Chen.
"Brother!"
Ye Rou screamed, climbing up and throwing herself onto Xiang Chen's body.
Puff! Puff...
Blood splattered as Xiang Chen was pushed away, but two arrows pierced the young girl's delicate body, while a third hit Xiang Chen's left thigh.
"Rou'er!"
