Chapter 923: Too Horrible to Look At

At this moment, the martial artist forces of King Island, except for the 100,000 medicine men charging towards Red Water City, had all become spectators.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun’s roar.

No one paid attention to who shouted; everyone was searching for Lin Lei, and sure enough, they saw Lin Lei and two others being chased by a woman.

"Rescue His Majesty!"

Those who heard Ye Liuyun’s cold voice immediately shouted to pursue An Dongye.

"His Majesty is being chased by the enemy."

"Everyone, hurry to rescue His Majesty."

"Protect His Majesty!"

The cold voices increased, and more people heard them.

Soon, the martial artist forces from King Island on the western side of Red Water City, except for the 100,000 medicine men still charging towards Red Water City, were all yelling along as they pursued An Dongye.

And the martial artist forces from King Island on the southern and northern edges, upon hearing the cold voice, also joined in shouting and then followed the crowd to pursue.

As the forces from the south and north began their pursuit and shouting, the martial artist forces from King Island to the east also heard.

In an instant!

Except for the 100,000 medicine men charging towards Red Water City, the rest of King Island’s martial artists went to rescue Lin Lei!

"An Dongye is quite a talent; she single-handedly resolved the predicament of Red Water City by leading the enemy away!"

On the walls of Red Water City, Qin Qing watched the enemy troops running away like a tide and sincerely praised.

"Our plan was completely disrupted by her alone; An Dongye, she’s the premier troublemaker of the battlefield." Leng Yue laughed.

"Let’s seize this chance to wipe out the charging monsters." Chloe said.

Qin Qing nodded and immediately ordered a full counterattack.

Without the two million enemy soldiers, the mere 100,000 medicine men posed no threat to Red Water City.

...

"Your Majesty, Shen Yin doesn’t seem to be chasing us!"

Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng, two Eighth Realm War Gods, fled all the way to the east gate of the royal city when Xuan Zheng suddenly spoke.

Lin Lei immediately stopped, turned cautiously to look around, and said:

"It seems she really isn’t chasing us!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow burst forth from the ground, shooting towards Lin Lei’s forehead.

Lin Lei was shocked and tilted his head to dodge the arrow’s notice, then turned and ran into the royal city, saying:

"Shen Yin is underground."

No reminders were needed; Xuan Zheng and the other Eighth Realm War Gods also realized Shen Yin was underground.

Just then, Xuan Zheng asked puzzled: "Shen Yin is a Strength Totem Inheritor; where did she get the Earth System Totem?"

Lin Lei didn’t answer because he didn’t know!

Another Eighth Realm War God questioned: "The Strength Totem has speed amplification; Shen Yin could completely catch up to us on the ground, why choose to pursue us using earth escape?"

Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng did not reply; they did not know why.

Actually, An Dongye didn’t want to use earth escape to chase Lin Lei and the others; she was mainly worried that Lin Lei and the others would recognize she wasn’t Shen Yin.

If that happened, it would not be her chasing Lin Lei and the others, but Lin Lei and the others chasing her.

Because she couldn’t beat any of the three Eighth Realm War Gods among Lin Lei and the others, even the three she had severely wounded and captured, she couldn’t truly overcome them.

Her victory was solely because the three Eighth Realm War Gods feared Shen Yin and the Skyshaker Bow, subconsciously believing they couldn’t defeat Shen Yin or dodge the arrows from the Skyshaker Bow, coupled with An Dongye’s surprise attack, leading to success.

In reality, An Dongye’s strength compared to Shen Yin was vastly different!

After all, the Strength Totem was inherited by Shen Yin from birth; she awakened to the Eighth Realm through her own efforts and spent a lifetime studying the Skyshaker Bow and archery, making her extremely powerful.

Meanwhile, An Dongye had only recently acquired Shen Yin’s Eighth Realm Strength Totem and had not yet understood the Skyshaker Bow.

"If Lin Lei and the others knew I wasn’t Shen Yin, I wonder if they’d bash their heads against a wall in shame, hehe..."

An Dongye emerged from underground, didn’t pursue inside the royal city, but stayed at the gate, shouting as the King Island martial artist forces surged towards her.

She loudly commanded:

"Quick, quick, quick, hurry into the city! His Majesty has been chased into the city by the enemy, everyone rush to protect him!"

The pursuing King Island martial artist forces were solely focused on rescuing His Majesty, without even considering who An Dongye was or why she was waiting at the city gate calling them instead of entering the city to rescue him.

As soon as the first wave of King Island martial artists charged into the royal city, An Dongye escaped underground.

Humans have herd mentality!

An Dongye was keenly aware that once the first group entered the city, others would blindly follow.

Back to the walls of Red Water City!

An Dongye drew her bow and arrows, shooting the medicine men attacking the city, while asking Qin Qing:

"Sister-in-law, was my move flashy or not?"

Qin Qing’s mouth twitched: "Flashy!"

An Dongye proudly flaunted and boasted:

"War, it’s all about brains; no matter how many enemies there are, without brains, they can’t win."

Qin Qing: "..."

Leng Yue: "..."

Chloe and others: "..."

What’s with her arrogance?

Yet, Qin Qing and the others had to admit An Dongye deserved her pride, having accomplished something none of them could achieve alone.

"Roar..."

At this moment, a series of beast roars echoed from afar!

"The vanguard of the mutated beast army has arrived." Qin Qing said: "You all stay here and continue killing monsters, I’ll lead them to the royal city."

...

After Lin Lei and the others fled into the royal city, they didn’t head straight to the Transcendent Laboratory, as Lin Lei was worried Shen Yin would go there first.

He wasn’t concerned about Shen Yin breaking the laboratory’s formation; he feared Shen Yin would report back to Huang Quan.

Even if Huang Quan couldn’t break the formation, there are numerous ways to entrap the laboratory underground.

Thus, Lin Lei and the others roamed aimlessly in the city for over two hours, ensuring Shen Yin lost track before returning to the Transcendent Laboratory!

Upon returning to the 300th underground floor room!

Lin Lei spotted an unread telegram on the telegraph machine and said:

"Xuan Zheng, take a look at who sent the telegram."

Xuan Zheng immediately walked over, picked up the telegram, and said:

"It’s from my son. He followed the main forces into the royal city for rescue, but soon huge numbers of mutated beasts rushed in, so he ran back home to send this telegram."

Lin Lei, stunned, muttered: "Rescue? Rescue whom?"

Xuan Zheng said: "The martial artist forces of King Island learned we were being pursued by Shen Yin, so they all rushed to the royal city for rescue; now only 100,000 medicine men are attacking Red Water City."

"What?"

Lin Lei, just seated, suddenly stood up in anger:

"Who told them to come for a rescue? Their mission was to capture Red Water City, seize all the grain, and eliminate everyone inside; relying solely on 100,000 medicine men, even if they broke into Red Water City, they’d all be wiped out."

Xuan Zheng sighed: "Ordering them to attack Red Water City again now is too late; the mutated beast army has already stormed into the city, even if the main forces go out again, they’d have to eliminate the mutated beast army first."

Lin Lei was so furious he was nearly about to explode on the spot!

He had clearly ordered over two million martial artists from the isle to attack Red Water City.

How did it turn into the mutated beast army attacking the royal city?

Moreover!

The battle for Red Water City!

Not only did they fail to capture Red Water City, but they also lost three Eighth Realm War Gods and countless warriors—who knows how many more will perish to the mutated beasts.

This battle!

The loss was too devastating!

Absolutely appalling!
