Song Xin attacked first, taking the lead.
With a whoosh, the remaining nine Yama Kings also engaged the dense ranks of warriors, turning the scene into utter chaos.
Bang!
Yan Jue repelled Song Xin with a punch, his brow furrowed.
"Go quickly!"
"No, I'm not leaving!"
"Lu Xing!"
"Yes!"
In this critical moment, Lu Xing didn't hesitate. He grabbed Tang Xiaomin. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Miss Tang, let's go. It'll be too late once the Ten Yama Kings' forces break through."
Tang Xiaomin remained unmoved, replying with an air of indifference.
"Isn't it just a fight? We've fought plenty on the way here. When have I ever retreated from battle?"
"Miss Tang, this time is different from before. At least the scale is different. Let's not fool around, let's go!"
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the earth shook. The next second, the Underworld collapsed, kicking up a mist-like dust.
However, the collapse of the Underworld was merely a prelude and did not stop the fierce battle.
Although Yan Jue had previously arranged for undead warriors to surround the Underworld, and they held a numerical advantage, they were still no match for the Ten.
Then, Yan Jue joined the fray.
Yan Jun said, "Song Xin, go after Tang Xiaomin. We'll deal with Yan Jue together."
Song Xin sneered, "You don't need to tell me. I won't let her escape. Once I capture her, I'll make her pay a heavy price!"
Yan Jun said, "Yan Jue cares about her deeply. If you capture her, we will win this war."
Yan Jun knew that Tang Xiaomin was Yan Jue's only weakness.
And at the same time, the key to this war.
Upon hearing this, the others finally understood.
"You idiot, why didn't you say so earlier? Why are we fighting Yan Jue? We should just capture Tang Xiaomin," Du Yan said with a wicked grin.
"You guys keep Yan Jue busy. We'll go capture Tang Xiaomin."
Yan Jue was difficult to deal with, so they chose the easier target, all rushing to capture Tang Xiaomin.
Thus, Tang Xiaomin inexplicably became their target.
Yan Jue's expression was grim. He sternly said, "Minmin, I told you to go quickly!"
At this point, Tang Xiaomin staying behind was unwise.
If she fell into the hands of the Ten Yama Kings, Yan Jue would be captured without any suspense.
The empire they had worked so hard to build would be lost.
Without waiting for Tang Xiaomin's consent, Yan Jue charged forward again, launching a fierce offensive.
Seeing this, Lu Xing said anxiously, "Miss Tang, this is not the time for recklessness. You need to consider the bigger picture."
"President Yan is buying us time, let's run. If you get caught, it's all over. President Yan is so capable, we should believe he can win."
At this moment, Tang Xiaomin was in turmoil.
As she was contemplating, Du Yan, one of the Ten Yama Kings, charged at her, wielding a black halberd.
Yan Jue was also busy, unable to come to her aid.
In desperation, she ignored everything else, drew her red saber, and met Du Yan's attack.
But just as she repelled Du Yan, Mount Tai's axe descended from above.
"Miss Tang!"
Lu Xing, not skilled in combat, rushed out and blocked Mount Tai's attack, sending him flying over ten meters away.
"Lu Xing!"
Tang Xiaomin quickly jumped to Lu Xing's side. Dense cracks had already appeared on Lu Xing's sword-wielding hand.
If his hand were shattered, it would signify his demise.
Lu Xing, his face grim, slowly got up.
"Tang Xiaomin, let's go quickly. Staying here will only distract President Yan, or even drag him down."
Yan Jue was fighting eight opponents, and although he had the help of undead warriors, he couldn't withstand the Ten Yama Kings who were intent on breaking through and heading for Tang Xiaomin.
At this moment, Tang Xiaomin had no choice.
She said unwillingly, "Let's go!"
Thus, under Yan Jue's cover, Tang Xiaomin and Lu Xing quickly retreated.
"Trying to run? It's not that easy!" Du Yan said coldly, and immediately pursued them.
A game of cat and mouse was about to unfold.
Du Yan was a agile fighter, extremely fast. He quickly caught up to Tang Xiaomin.
"Demoness, stop right there!"
Sensing the danger approaching from behind, Tang Xiaomin had to turn and block.
In this instant, Mount Tai had also caught up. They surrounded her, one in front and one behind.
Du Yan sneered, "I've long heard of a powerful demoness in the Underworld, but now she's so scared she's fleeing. It seems the rumors were false."
"Run, why aren't you running anymore? Hahaha..."
This was stating the obvious. If she could run, who would want to stay?
Compared to Du Yan's flippancy, Mount Tai was much more serious.
"Du Yan, do not underestimate her. Let's quickly take her down as planned. Any mistake will be troublesome."
At this moment, Lu Xing stepped forward, blocking Tang Xiaomin.
"Miss Tang, I'll hold them off. You go quickly."
Lu Xing's hand was already cracked, yet he had the courage to shield her with his life.
Such loyalty. How could someone as sentimental and righteous as Tang Xiaomin abandon him and run?
"Lu Xing, step back."
"Miss Tang..."
"Their target is me. Your sacrifice is meaningless. I'm not running. I'm staying."
"Miss Tang..."
Amidst Lu Xing's gasp of alarm, Tang Xiaomin raised her saber, glowing red, and charged out.
If it weren't Lu Xing here now, but Zhong Li, she might have escaped.
Zhong Li was a master, but Lu Xing was not.
More importantly, she didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay and face everything with Yan Jue.
Her movements were like the wind. She quickly reached Du Yan and launched a series of beautiful combos, a fusion of strength and skill, forcing the overconfident Du Yan to retreat step by step.
Just as she was about to be decapitated, a heavy, massive mountain-splitting axe appeared like timely rain, blocking Tang Xiaomin's blade and saving Du Yan.
Du Yan, still shaken, gasped for breath.
Mount Tai chuckled playfully, "Underestimating her, huh? This isn't one of the delicate ladies in your harem. This is the demoness of the Underworld. Underestimate her, and your head will be separated from your body."
The Ten Yama Kings were all masters. Tang Xiaomin failed to finish Du Yan while he was being careless.
From now on, she would have to face two serious opponents. Her expression was unusually solemn.
Just then, Song Xin also caught up, shouting angrily, "A demoness, huh? You hit me on the battlefield that day. Today, I'll chop off one of your hands, hmph!"
As fast as lightning, three opponents simultaneously launched their attacks on Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Xiaomin continuously swung her saber, blocking the attacks of the three Yama Kings. Their coordination was seamless, and Tang Xiaomin found herself increasingly strained, soon falling into a disadvantage.
Bang!
She couldn't evade Mount Tai's cleaver and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
