C9 Soul Stealing/strong

    0The two of them didn''t reply and instead walked over.

    An uneasy feeling quickly spread within the hearts of the guards present.

    The Guard Commander faced these two people directly and felt an unprecedented pressure press upon him, causing his body to slightly tremble.

    Finally, the two of them stopped at a distance of another sixty meters from the group. The fatty''s gaze swept across the crowd, and in the end,nded on Chu Yan, and said: "Soulreaper, Soul Stealing, has been ordered toe and take the life of Southern Yuan Kingdom''s sinner, Chu Yan."

    "Soulreaper!"

    In an instant, all of the guards present cried out in rm, their faces turning deathly pale.

    Even Xiao Pei''s body couldn''t help but tremble.

    Everyone knew that Spirit Absorbing and Soul Grasping were famous killer partners in the Southern Yuan Kingdom. As long as they wanted to kill someone, they would never be able to escape.

    And because of this, no one knew what a soul reaper and soul reaper looked like.

    He never thought that these two emissaries from hell would actually appear outside of his borders and want to take Chu Yan''s life.

    Surprise, astonishment, fear, doubt, and other emotions were written all over the faces of the surrounding guards.

    Chu Yan put down the half-eaten rations in his hand and sighed: "Don''t you two understand that these two guys are''s guards?"

    Chu Xing?

    The guards were stunned for a moment before reacting. Wasn''t this the crown prince they had just conferred a title to?! He is also the younger brother of Chu Yan''s half brother!

    What shocked the guards the most was not only the fact that the crown prince had his men under hismand, but also the fact that his younger brother had killed each other and sent assassins to kill his brother!

    "I had already guessed it. With Chu Xing''s personality, for him to be able to hold back until now to let all of you take action, it really would be difficult for him." Chu Yan picked up the Cyan Astral Sword by his side, and slowly stood up, then looked at the guards: "I know this has nothing to do with you, you guys can leave, I won''t me you."

    These words immediately made the guards hold their breath.

    This group of people originally had extremely conflicting attitudes towards Chu Yan. In their hearts, they respected his glory and despised his actions at the same time.

    But at that instant, even the stupidest person could already guess what was going on.

    "Your Highness!" The leader of the guards widened his tiger-like eyes. Because of his agitation, his teeth were chattering loudly.

    "You won''t be able to escape." The white robed fatty called Soulreaper smirked. With a flick of his wrist, the iron w by his waist flew into his hands.

    As for the ck-clothed skinny man named Soul Stealing, his face was still cold. He stood to the side with his arms crossed and didn''t say a word.

    "The crown prince has ordered that the seventeen cavalrymen and the traitor Chu Yan have colluded and will be killed without mercy!" The moment thest word left his mouth, a soul-reaping cannonball flew towards the leader of the guards.

    The leader raised the spear in his hands, as he stabbed it towards the white silhouette.

    The iron w hooked onto the spear tip as a huge force surged forward. In the blink of an eye, the heavy spear bent in an unbelievable manner, causing the guardmander''s expression to change, and his body couldn''t help but fall to the side.

    With a loud roar, the Spirit reaper waved his arm, and iron w hooked onto the tip of the spear, snatching the heavy spear away. Like throwing a javelin, he shot the heavy spear out like lightning.

    Swish!

    In a sh of ck light, the guard closest to him was pierced through the chest by the spear before he could even react. His body was sent flying and with a ''kacha'' sound, he was nailed to a rock.

    The guard died with evesting regret. Blood gushed out from the gaping wound in his chest as if it were money.

    At the same time, with a single stride, he appeared right in front of the guardmander. The iron w swept across and chopped off the guardmander''s arm, then folded its hands again, causing the iron w s to cross over the guardmander''s neck.

    Swish!

    The heads and blood fountains shot up into the sky.

    After a moment, the headless body of the guardmander swayed a few times before crashing onto the ground.

    In the time it took for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, two people were killed.

    To be selected as a soldier, they naturally weren''t ordinary people. These guards escorting Chu Yan this time, were mostly at the first level of Genuine Force Stage, while themander of the guards was at the second level.

    However, in front of the soul reaper, he was like a little chicken that had no way to fight back and was ughtered.

    The rest of the guards charged straight at Soulreaper.

    Perhaps it was because of their guilt towards Chu Yan, or perhaps it was because they hoped that they could win with their numbers, giving them a chance at survival. At this moment, they did not retreat, but chose to face the enemy head on.

    In an instant, the scene was filled with a rain of blood.

    Xiao Pei''s body could not stop trembling, her beautiful face was as white as paper.

    Before this, although she had been sent to a secret pce due to her injuries, she had never seen such a bloody scene.

    "Your Highness …" "We … What should we do …" Xiao Pei tightly hugged onto Chu Yan''s arm.

    "I will protect you." Chu Yan patted Xiao Pei''s shoulder, his gaze nd, looking at the iron w that could reap souls, easily pierced through a guard''s abdomen, pulling out his intestines and mincing them into pieces, "It''s the Stage Three of Genuine Force, right?"

    "Then, then what should we do with them …" Xiao Pei clenched her teeth, trying hard not to let her tears flow out.

    "I''ve already given them a chance to leave. The path they are walking on, is something they have chosen." Chu Yan shook his head.

    Chu Yan''s experience of fighting on the battlefield had already made him pale seeing the difference between life and death. It also made him understand that no one had the qualifications to help others choose the path of life.

    Since these guards had chosen to face the battle head-on, they would have to bear the consequences, regardless of whether they lived or died.

    Even a guardmander of the second level of Genuine Force Stage would not be able to withstand two moves from a soul reaper. These guards of the first level of Genuine Force Stage were like paper in front of a soul reaper.

    In just a moment, a pile of corpsesy on the ground.

    One of the guards had a big hole dug into his chest, but he was not dead yet, his eyes were wide open as he looked at Chu Yan, his lips moving, as though he wanted to say something, but blood kept on flowing out of his throat, causing him to not be able to say a single word.

    Chu Yan took a step forward, and pierced the opponent''s heart with his sword, causing him to feel a little less pain.

    "Alright, now it''s just the two of you." Soulreaper shook off the blood stains on the iron w.

    He had just killed seventeen people consecutively just now, yet there wasn''t a single trace of blood on his white clothes.

    Looking at Chu Yan who was wielding the sword, he couldn''t help but sneer again and again: "Chu Yan, you have lost all your strength. Right now, you are only at most an ordinary person, not even as strong as those guys just now. I said you might as well let me cut your head off so we can go back and report. This way, we may still remember your good points. In the future, we will burn incense for you every year on the anniversary of your death. After all, you were once the young hero I admired. "

    The other party''s words wereced with unspeakable cruelty and contempt.

    Xiao Pei gritted her teeth and secretly held onto a sharp hairpin in her hand.

    She had already decided that if anything bad happened to Chu Yan, she would immediately take her own life and follow Chu Yan.
