The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor

Back where he stood, Song Cheng seemed to have lost interest. He directly ordered more troops forward and shouted loudly, "Form the Array!"

Over five hundred well-armed soldiers, fully armored from head to toe, each released their own Spiritual Power, which resonated with the others and immediately formed an Array.

The power of these people was all enhanced within this Array, and they charged at high speed toward the two Seven Spirit Knot Cultivators in the crowd, surrounding and attacking them.

At the beginning, the two of them could still cope, but after killing a dozen or twenty men in a row, they began to feel they were running out of strength.

Then one of the men was suddenly stabbed in the shoulder by a rapidly thrusting spear. Looking completely fearless, he directly used the Dagger in his hand to cut the other party’s spear shaft.

The spearhead was still deeply embedded in his flesh, hurting badly, and at this moment Song Cheng led a thousand men to encircle the Princess’s side.

On the Princess’s side, including a few guards, there were only five people in total, among them two Eight Spirit Knot experts and three Seven Spirit Knot existences.

On Mu Yu’s side, besides himself being an Eight Spirit Knot, all the other soldiers were existences at Five to Six Spirit Knot. Although their Cultivation here was a bit lower, the enemy had a full thousand men against the Princess’s five and showed no fear at all.

At this moment they had already fully formed into an Array, and their strength had all increased.

They watched as a thousand or so men surrounded the Princess and the other four. Song Cheng stepped out from the crowd to stand opposite the Princess, looking at her as if she were already a prisoner. His lips curled in pride as he said, "Will you kill yourselves, or should we brothers beat you into meat paste?"

After hearing Mu Yu’s words, the Princess replied expressionlessly, "If you want to kill us, you’d better see whether you have that ability first."

An orange light suddenly rose in the Princess’s hand; it was the energy of the Fire Element.

In no time, the Princess hurled this mass of energy toward the thousand plus men surrounding her.

As expected, one of them, whose Cultivation was a bit weaker, was directly burned to ash.

Mu Yu grew even more enraged. He had already leaped into the enemy’s main ranks and was fighting fiercely with those inside. Every swing of his sword took a life, and in this way, more than a dozen soldiers died one after another.

"Light’s Swift Flash."

The soldiers closing in from the opposite side were no pushovers. The spears in their hands all turned into Light Spears that surged toward the Princess’s side.

Seeing this scene, the Eight Spirit Knot expert behind the Princess finally couldn’t sit still. The Qi Force in his hand, carrying the power of Heaven and Earth and Nature, formed a curtain of air and light. These light curtains were pale blue; they appeared to be water-element energy, just right to oppose those Light Spears.

However, when the Light Spears stabbed into the light curtain, it was as if each one had fallen into the sea, vanishing without a trace.

"Infinite Sea Domain." Song Cheng recognized the opponent’s technique. Immediately, the Eight Spirit Knot Cultivator led the Princess in charging into the enemy formation; every strike of his took a soldier’s life.

In this way, the forest became a scene of fifteen hundred people fighting against seven.

After all, the enemy numbers were enormous. No matter how many they killed, there was no end. On the contrary, their own people had already been seriously injured earlier and were now bleeding nonstop.

Finally, among the two Seven Spirit Knot experts being besieged by five hundred men, one collapsed with a boom and was immediately pierced by more than a dozen spears. Seeing his companion die, the other man broke out in a cold sweat all over.

But he had no choice. At this moment, aside from holding on, the only path left was death.

His movement technique suddenly became even more agile. He plunged into the enemy ranks and began to cut madly. Facing three spears thrusting toward him, he dragged a man’s body into their path, then spun his body to dodge the follow-up attacks.

Then came a few beautiful slashes, and several Six Spirit Knot men fell to the ground.

He seemed to have gone blood-mad, turning into a god of slaughter on the battlefield. But the enemy didn’t give him the chance to keep showing off. A hundred men attacked at the same time. He dodged fifty of the attacks and killed thirty men outright, but he couldn’t avoid them all. Using shifting steps and repositioning, he killed all one hundred, then was riddled with spears by the remaining four hundred and died.

Meanwhile, the five on the Princess’s side had already started fighting with the thousand plus enemies. The Eight Spirit Knot expert used a fierce, overbearing palm technique to blast apart any enemy who dared approach the Princess.

This palm technique was extremely powerful; those struck by it instantly turned to dust.

Seeing his rampant slaughter, Song Cheng finally couldn’t hold back and led a hundred men to charge in. At this time the thousand plus were all tangled up in battle; the hundred men Song Cheng could still command were all his Guard Team.

The hundred or so men directly split into two lines and stabbed more than three hundred times at the Eight Spirit Knot expert. That Eight Spirit Knot expert shattered over thirty enemy weapons and killed fifty enemies.

"I just didn’t expect there would actually be two Eight Spirit Knot existences." Song Cheng spoke calmly, "But take this strike anyway."

The remaining fifty men combined their strength for a joint attack. The fifty or so people emitted endless golden light. As this light appeared, the fifty gradually fused together into a single person.

In that moment, this one person possessed the peak strength of an Eight Spirit Knot. This attack was enough to kill that expert.

Sure enough, those fifty people fused into one and, living up to expectations, blasted the Eight Spirit Knot expert to death on the spot.

When the Princess saw him die, she felt a pang of loss in her heart and looked visibly saddened.

As those fifty men released their energy, just as they were about to separate and become fifty again, Mu Yu turned into a streak of dazzling light and struck, slashing down at that one person who had not yet split apart.

That man fell dead on the spot. Although it looked like he had killed just one person, Song Cheng’s fifty-man personal Guard Team had all died just like that.

Song Cheng was furious. He shouted loudly, "To think you’d stop at nothing and sacrifice yourself just to kill my guards." But he himself was an Eight Spirit Knot existence, so he wasn’t at all afraid of anyone coming to cause him trouble.

Originally, Mu Yu was going to go over and fight him, but now there was only one person left to guard the Princess, so Mu Yu didn’t dare be careless. Song Cheng refused to fight them head-on; he was waiting for Mu Yu to die before stepping in to seize the Princess.

Although he had said he wanted them killed, the other side was still the Princess. Keeping her alive had its benefits—such as having a bit of fun with her first, then killing her afterward.

At this moment Song Cheng’s lust surged. In his heart he was already thinking about how he would torment the Princess later.

The more he thought about it, the farther back he retreated behind the soldiers. He believed that at most sacrificing another two hundred men would be enough to wipe out all of the Princess’s subordinates. When that happened, he could make a domineering entrance, capture the Princess, and drag her into the forest, where he could play however he wanted.

As expected, another thirty of Song Cheng’s men had already fallen, and a few more of the Princess’s subordinates were also dead.

At this point, only Mu Yu, a single personal guard, and the Princess were left, standing back to back, fighting shoulder to shoulder.

Mu Yu’s eyes were steady and cold, with a look of utter fearlessness toward death.

He finally spoke to the Princess. "All of this came far too strangely. I even thought it was the Vice Alliance Hierarch trying to harm you." Mu Yu had long harbored suspicions about the Vice Alliance Hierarch, but had never obtained solid proof. Now, the Vice Alliance Hierarch had arranged to meet Her Highness the Princess here, yet suddenly a thousand elite troops appeared, and even knowing that the person before them was Her Highness the Princess, they still tried to kill her. All of this said too much, and Mu Yu had no choice but to suspect the Vice Alliance Hierarch.

His suspicion was simple: the Vice Alliance Hierarch still hadn’t shown up even after the appointed time had passed.

The Princess’s watery brows knitted tightly, but her lips still spoke delicately, "To suspect the Vice Alliance Hierarch without evidence—aren’t you stretching things a bit?"

Even at this life-and-death moment, Her Highness the Princess was still speaking up for the Vice Alliance Hierarch. Mu Yu also felt that the Princess might be a bit too optimistic. It seemed she would have to see the Vice Alliance Hierarch in person before she would believe it.
