Chapter 199: The Devil

Whoosh!

The two wooden swords, which they hadn’t managed to draw from their waists before they died, flew in front of Yun Ruoxi.

She caught them and began to toy with them in her hands.

Guan Kelai was startled by the head in his arms.

He stumbled back a few steps, letting the head fall to the floor, staining the carpet.

He looked up at Yun Ruoxi, his face visibly turning pale.

It was a pale green, like a head of frosted cabbage.

Yun Ruoxi laughed ostentatiously, her smile bright and radiant.

“Now do you know who I am? I am the most evil devil in this world!”

As her voice fell.

Guan Kelai immediately felt a powerful force pressing down on his shoulders, rendering him unable to move.

Yun Ruoxi took a step forward.

Da da da da da.

Perhaps the commotion from the clash between Yun Ruoxi and Jiguang had been too loud, disturbing the guards on the other floors.

At that moment, armored guards actually came running up from below.

They drew their longswords, shouting for her to let go of their master as they charged at Yun Ruoxi together.

Yun Ruoxi didn’t even turn her head; the corners of her mouth curled up further, forming an exaggerated arc.

Crack!

She jerked her head to the right.

Accompanied by the successive sounds of bodies thudding to the ground, a dozen or so Green Elf heads flew over from behind her.

They hovered above Guan Kelai before falling like raindrops, battering his body with a pitter-patter sound.

The green blood gushing from the heads instantly drenched him.

Guan Kelai was scared witless.

Once the force pinning his body loosened, he instantly collapsed onto the ground.

A foul-smelling, colorless liquid seeped out from beneath him.

“My Lord, please spare me, please spare me! I’ll agree to anything!” he murmured repeatedly, crawling backward until he hit the wall and could retreat no further.

“Really?”

Yun Ruoxi looked at the wooden sword in her hand, lightly rubbing the blade with her pinkish, seemingly delicate index finger.

Scritch!

She applied a little pressure, seemingly accidentally slicing her fingertip, yet a sickly, satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She walked up to the stuttering, terrified Guan Kelai.

She slowly crouched down.

She pressed her bleeding fingertip against his forehead and slid it downward with force.

Using her own blood, she drew a turtle on his face.

Then she laughed, “I’m really bad at drawing! But from now on, you are my slave!”

“You’re the one who said it—that you’d agree to anything.”

Guan Kelai nodded vigorously; in this situation, he only wanted to live, so how could he care about anything else?

“Good boy.” Yun Ruoxi smiled with a look of pure innocence and gently patted his head.

“Then go and get ready.”

“Pre-prepare what?” Guan Kelai asked in a low voice.

“Take us to the Royal Capital!” Yun Ruoxi replied without a second thought. “Tomorrow, I’ll bring the
others to find you. No matter what, you must get us into the Royal Capital.”

“Do you understand?”

“I understand!” Guan Kelai nodded hurriedly. If it was just getting people into the Royal Capital, it was practically effortless for him.

“By the way, today’s events, you’d better keep them buried in your stomach. If you dare say a single word to anyone else!”

Yun Ruoxi dangerously bared her canines, a red light flashing in her eyes as the surrounding heads exploded one by one like balloons.

“Your head will end up just like theirs!”

Drenched in blood, Guan Kelai nodded while weeping, unable to say another word.

“Of course, if you perform well, once everything is over, I’ll naturally spare your dog life. It’s even possible I might help your status advance a step further.”

Like a child imitating an adult, Yun Ruoxi clumsily and awkwardly painted a bright future for Guan Kelai.

After finishing her routine of the carrot and the stick.

Regardless of whether Guan Kelai had actually listened, she stood up, satisfied.

Using telekinesis, she lifted the still-unconscious Yun Che, making him float beside her.

Then, without looking back, she left the room.

She seemed to be in a very good mood, keeping her hands behind her back and humming a pleasant nursery rhyme as she skipped through the gaps in the pile of corpses. Every step was incredibly precise until she finally disappeared down the stairs.

Following that, screams rang out one after another, sounding like a rhythmic piece of classical music.

Until at some point, the entire palace became silent.

Guan Kelai, who had been staring blankly at the door, finally snapped out of it. He stiffly climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from his face, and limped out of the room.

Looking at the headless corpses in the corridor, tears slid from the corners of his eyes. These were his private soldiers whom he had raised since they were young, his vital forces, but now they were all dead along with his Tree God Guards.

Walking out of the corridor, he held onto the railing and looked down.

The spiral staircase was covered in fragmented corpses, and green blood was smeared all over the walls.

Guan Kelai clutched his head, his breathing incredibly ragged, and he knelt on the ground in a total state of collapse.

He had been thinking that once Yun Ruoxi left, he would gather his men overnight and secretly flee the city to seek refuge in the Royal Capital.

After all, no matter how strong Yun Ruoxi was, he had the entire Green Elf Kingdom behind him.

He believed the King and the powerhouses of the military department would definitely be very interested in these devils who preached doomsday theories.

But now, everyone around him was dead…

Where could he go by himself? And how could he protect the wealth his family had accumulated over a thousand years all on his own?

Buzz!

Just as Guan Kelai was breaking down, a faint humming sound suddenly echoed from not far away.

Almost instinctively, he turned his head toward the room he had just come from.

A strangely shaped, silver-white object suddenly appeared outside the window.

It smashed through the entire wall with a single blow.

Three mechanical claws, like octopus tentacles, extended from its back and directly scooped up the three unconscious people on the floor.

It turned and left the room, entering a massive, floating silver-white object.

If Yun Ruoxi were present, she would have recognized them as the cylindrical robots frequently seen at the base and the landing pod they had arrived in.

But Guan Kelai had never seen such things before.

His mouth fell open, and he suddenly remembered what the devil named Jiguang had told him earlier.

The other party had said: they would prove everything to him.

And now, they had indeed proven it, but through the hands of an even more cruel devil……

Guan Kelai watched as the landing pod flew away like a ghost, disappearing into the pitch-black night sky.

At this moment, it suddenly dawned on him.

Perhaps the doomsday was real, and perhaps cooperating with that group of devils was the best way forward.

Yun Ruoxi left quickly and returned just as fast.

By the time she returned, only fifteen minutes had passed.

Everyone looked at the unconscious Yun Che with shocked expressions, clearly not having expected that someone as cautious as him would actually fail so miserably.

“Xiao Xi, what’s going on?” Zi Jiu asked hurriedly.
