Duanmu Jinhong was completely stunned. He suddenly felt fortunate that he had stood on Lian Youyou's side in the end and did not become her enemy anymore. Otherwise, his ending would be really unimaginable!
All the soldiers also stood behind the artillery, suddenly feeling lucky to be alive. In the past, they prayed for the gods to protect them, but now, they felt that it was their greatest luck that the gods did not destroy them.
"Take advantage of now!" Lin Tingjun, who was standing in the air, suddenly yelled to everyone. Immediately, He Shiqi jumped down from the black pot, grabbed a beast head on the ground where the purple dragon was jumping, and broke it open with force: "Ah——"
"Snap!" He fiercely pried the beast's head open!
Yun Xi, Yun Yao, Sanniang and the others jumped down upon seeing this, and while the beasts were completely stunned, they chopped off their heads one by one.
Zi Gu was not idle either. He also learned how to break off the beasts' heads like He Shiqi did. Now the beasts were completely unable to move and posed no threat to him, so he could break off their heads to his heart's content.
He took a look at it as he broke it open, swallowed his saliva, and when he opened his mouth wide to eat, the coffin master immediately exclaimed: "Zi Gu! Don't eat anything carelessly!"
Zi Gu blinked, looking at the piles of corpses with a bit of reluctance. If he could eat them, he wouldn't have to eat human corpses for another year or two. But if he ate the wrong thing, he would feel pain alone and vomit continuously.
It's strange that he can't eat anything he wants even though he's not a human.
"These are not living things, you can't eat them." Lian Youyou's low voice echoed in the air, and there was a platinum flame in her eyes that had not yet been extinguished.
Zi Gu continued to crack his beast head reluctantly, just like cracking walnuts, one at a time. When he was full, even the power of Black Flame might not be as great as his.
So it was a little difficult for He Shiqi to break the beast heads, but Zi Gu was extremely relaxed and broke them one at a time. He was very happy that he could finally contribute his own strength in the end. The only regret was that he could not eat the corpse of Taotie.
The gluttonous beasts lying on the ground stared unwillingly at Lian Youyou in the sky. They were split into two by Lin Tingjun's blood sword, and their four eyes were reflected in Lian Youyou's lonely and tall figure with her fairy belt flying.
Slowly, some of the ferocious beasts were able to move. They staggered to their feet and continued to crawl towards Songcheng. Their fearless persistence also wrote their own heroism.
As for the equality of all beings, the gods have never had this phrase.
To be precise, the gods are actually aliens.
Good aliens are gods to mortals.
The bad ones are the devil.
The reason why Lian Youyou stood here was that she wanted to protect this planet, because this star field, this universe, was her territory! She couldn't let creatures from other star fields, or even creatures from other dimensions, come here to make trouble.
Taotie was just a time bomb. When it was set off by Liang Jinzhu, it had actually sent a signal to the greedy and predatory race deep in the vast universe.
This is what Lian Youyou is really worried about.
Suddenly, a nimble beast rushed out, broke through the fog wall, and jumped up when it saw the people on the tower! It pounced directly on Duanmu Jinhong on the tower!
The soldiers below had no time to turn their guns around before its huge body flew over them like a small mountain!
Duanmu Jinhong lost his previous composure in the face of the beast's fierce eyes and huge size. The shock and horror brought by the beast's oncoming were beyond his imagination. He wanted to run, but he seemed to have been completely frightened and his body could not move.
Suddenly, he was pushed away heavily, and the figure of Yuchi Yanxia appeared in front of him. Yuchi Yanxia drew her sword and faced the ferocious beast that was flying towards her.
Duanmu Jinhong stared blankly at Yuchi Yanxia standing in front of him. Even if Yuchi Yanxia protected him out of her instinct to protect her son, as Duanmu Qingchen, he should protect his mother.
Yuchi Yanxia fearlessly stabbed the beast with her sword. She suddenly turned around and glared at Duanmu Jinhong: "Third Prince, be a good emperor!"
At that moment, Duanmu Jinhong was stunned and even more shocked! Yuchi Yanxia saw it, she saw that he was no longer the real Duanmu Qingchen, but when the danger came, she still protected him. Why? !
No! No!
Duanmu Jinhong immediately went to pull Yuchi Yanxia. In front of the ferocious beast, his mind suddenly cleared of all distracting thoughts, and the only thing he wanted to do was to save Yuchi Yanxia!
"Ah--" The ferocious beast bit off the sword in Yuchi Yanxia's hand, grabbed the city wall with its claws and continued to pounce on Yuchi Yanxia.
"No——" Duanmu Jinhong finally regained the ability to move, pushed Yuchi Yanxia away, and closed his eyes!
Suddenly, the beast stopped moving.
Duanmu Jinhong opened his eyes with a quickened heartbeat, and Yuchi Yanxia behind him also showed a relieved expression.
The beast was tightly wrapped in a white fairy belt, unable to get any closer to Duanmu Jinhong's face! The next moment, Lian Youyou stepped hard on the beast's head.
"Bang!" Just like a watermelon being crushed, the fishy liquid inside immediately splashed onto Duanmu Jinhong's face, making it black.
The corpse of the ferocious beast fell from the city wall. Lian landed on her tiptoes and squatted in front of Duanmu Jinhong. The battle was over and she had absorbed enough thunder and lightning. She was in a good mood.
She smiled at Duanmu Jinhong and lowered her voice: "See, lies will always be exposed, but even so, Yuchi Yanxia still protected you. It was out of instinct." Lian Youyou approached Duanmu Jinhong's dazed face, "When you stood on the Imperial Forest Mountain, you lamented the freedom of the outside world, but you coveted the dragon throne. Duanmu Jinhong, is the palace really trapping you?"
Duanmu Jinhong's eyes suddenly widened.
Lian Youyou returned to her original position, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the stains on his face. As she wiped, she laughed and said, "The master who created Taotie is the most greedy race in the entire universe. They are the embodiment of desire, and desire will devour everything. While you can still control it, remember to turn back. Otherwise, tut tut tut, even I can't save you." After Lian Youyou finished speaking, she put the handkerchief into Duanmu Jinhong's hands.
The white scarf suddenly burst into silver-white flames in the air, just like the platinum flames in Lian Youyou's eyes before. The scarf turned into stars and fell into Duanmu Jinhong's palm, where a heart character appeared. The character then disappeared from his palm, but his heart suddenly felt warm, as if the character was imprinted on his soul.
It was his heart that trapped him, it was the desires in his heart that trapped him. His pain, his resentment, and his unwillingness all stemmed from his desires.
Just like he has become Duanmu Qingchen, and the throne is within his grasp, but he still cannot be happy and lives in worry and pain every day. He is worried that his father and the queen will find out that he is not Duanmu Qingchen, and he is in pain because his beloved woman will become Duanmu Qingchen's wife! (To be continued)
