The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
99. Chapter 99: Martial King vs Martial King (2)
Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly. His clear eyes focused on the black-clothed man standing in front of him as he said, "Am I stalling for time or not, you should at least tell me your name before you kill me, right?"
"My name?" The man in black sneered, "You're not worthy enough to know my name. Regardless of how long you plan to extend this matter, Gu Ruoyun, it won't work. Nothing .. can save you. "
"Who said no one could save him?"
Suddenly, an angry roar sounded from behind Gu Ruoyun. After turning his head to look, the crowd saw General Luo and Luo Yin leading the ten thousand elite soldiers from the crowd. As if they had discussed it before the incident, the crowd parted ways to form a path for the army, allowing them to reach Gu Ruoyun smoothly.
The elite soldiers immediately retracted their weapons and surrounded Ling Yu and the man in black clothes.
"General Luo." Ling Yu's expression turned ugly, "As a general of a nation, you are actually abusing your official authority? You mobilized the imperial army all for personal grudges!"
General Luo quickly pulled his greatsword from its hilt and stabbed it into the ground in front of him fiercely. He was wearing complete armor, looking like an amazing war god who was planning to defend Gu Ruoyun.
"Who told you that I was abusing my authority? That I used it for my personal vendetta? As a general, I protect the Azure Dragon Country!" He smiled coldly and looked at the man in black, "A man of unknown origin has infiltrated the Azure Dragon Country. My country! As a general serving the Azure Dragon Country, it is my duty to thoroughly investigate this matter. Who could say if he would compromise His Majesty's safety! So, until the moment we investigate thoroughly and determine your identity, please follow me."
A cold and gloomy aura enveloped the man in black. His venomous and snake-like eyes locked onto General Luo's figure, seemingly akin to a mountain. He replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to be tangled up with the military of a country, so if you even have a semblance of a brain, leave immediately or I might kill you first!"
Instantly, a sharp killing intent could be felt rushing towards General Luo.
"Gu Ruoyun, are you okay?"
Luo Yin rushed to Gu Ruoyun and asked anxiously, "Who is this person? Why would he want to help Ling Yu kill you?"
He did not believe that Ling Yu would be able to force a high ranking cultivator to come help him.
"I'm not sure," Gu Ruoyun shook her head, "The aura on her body is foreign to me... I've never seen her before and I'm not sure what her motive is."
Luo Yin patted Gu Ruoyun on the shoulder and spoke with a solemn vow, "Don't worry, no matter what happens. This is the Azure Dragon Country and my father is one of the two generals defending it. The military strength he led was equivalent to the strength of the parents of the Gu family. No one dares to kill in front of my father, as long as we are in the Azure Dragon Country."
"That's not necessarily true." The expression in Gu Ruoyun's eyes turned grim, "This opponent is too strong, and for an expert cultivator at this level, no matter how strong your military might be, it doesn't matter."
Those who had never reached the rank of Martial King would never know how terrifying cultivators at this rank were. Even if he had to face a million heroic warriors, he would slash them all down to the last person. For the sake of his life, however, General Luo and Luo Yin did not even hesitate to fight the Martial King. Gu Ruoyun felt touched.
However, if General Luo's men could somehow stop him, then they would have hope of turning things around ...
