Chapter 249: Urgency

Then, she prepared to follow Xiao Hao.

But before she could move.

Calderon's voice rang out instantly.

"Seize these two rebels for me, whoever kills Xiao Hao gets a reward of ten thousand gold!"

Calderon's voice was filled with intense coldness.

"Your Majesty, have mercy!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but shout.

At the same time, her grip on Xiao Hao's arm tightened.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Xiao Hao said calmly.

Although his body was weak, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

It was his fighting spirit at work.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao calmed her urgency.

After all, Xiao Hao was the only one she could rely on now.

Just then, Xiao Hao stood on a rooftop, looking down at Calderon and speaking slowly.

"Weren't you looking for me? Why have you disappeared!"

Xiao Hao's voice became incredibly cold.

Making Calderon frown; he felt this young man looked somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

He then said slowly.

"Xiao Hao, you didn't die? That's great. It's been so long, how have you been!"

His voice carried a hint of relief.

Xiao Hao's expression grew colder.

Looking at Calderon, he said slowly.

"Heh, long time no see. You're doing well, but I'm not doing so great!"

His voice carried a hint of mockery.

"Xiao Hao, don't do anything rash, he is a Prince of the Empire!"

Hearing Xiao Hao, Xiao Yao tried to persuade him.

But Xiao Hao ignored her.

Calderon noticed Xiao Hao's strange behavior.

He narrowed his eyes.

Then, he said coldly.

"Hmph, since you seek death, I will grant it!"

After his voice fell, the army behind him charged again.

But now, the killing intent in Xiao Hao's eyes surged.

He took a step forward and met them.

The giant axe in his hand tore through the sky.

"Swoosh!"

The sharp axe blade cut through the sky like a ribbon.

Causing blood to spray around Calderon instantly.

"Bang!"

Then, his body fell inside the city wall.

His entire chest was split in two.

Screams rang out instantly.

The surrounding soldiers looked on in shock.

They wanted to retreat, but before Xiao Hao, they had no room to resist. CHAPTER 398

"Bang bang!"

A moment later, they were all slaughtered on the spot.

Calderon lay on the ground, twitching.

Xiao Hao turned around.

Looking at Xiao Yao and Xiao Hao, he said.

"Sister, run quickly, I will hold them off for you!"

His voice was resolute.

Hearing this, tears streamed down Xiao Yao's face.

How could she be willing to flee alone?

Just as she was about to say something.

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure filled the sky.

Then, a figure landed before them.

It was Cynthia.

But her injuries were not light.

Her body was stained with mottled blood.

She looked extremely disheveled.

Yet, her eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light.

Looking at Xiao Hao, she said slowly.

"I didn't expect you to be here!"

After her voice fell, the dagger in her hand pointed directly at the two.

Her figure swayed slightly.

But she dared not delay.

At this moment, everyone understood.

Xiao Yao and the other were surely going to die. CHAPTER 399

After all, Cynthia's cultivation was there, even if she was severely injured.

Although Xiao Hao was progressing rapidly.

It was almost impossible to resist her.

"Sister, I will hold her off, you run!"

Xiao Hao shouted.

Then, he charged forward.

His eyes were filled with determination.

Just then.

Cynthia moved.

"Whoosh!"

She slashed, and brilliant light bloomed.

Xiao Hao was sent flying.

Blood spilled from his mouth.

"Xiao Hao, are you alright!"

Seeing this.

Xiao Yao ignored everything else and supported Xiao Hao.

"Sister, run, I will stop them, otherwise you will die!"

Xiao Hao said stubbornly.

He had not forgotten how his parents died.

Now, Xiao Hao hated this palace to the core.

If he had a chance for revenge, he would spare no cost.

"Haha, Xiao Hao, I know you are in pain, but don't blame your mother.

She didn't like me; I forced her.

That is why she chose death!"

Calderon's voice rang out.

Hearing this.

Xiao Yao was completely stunned.

This news was simply too explosive.

She had never imagined that her parents had died at the hands of Calderon.

Just then.

Calderon continued.

"And you, you should blame me even more.

You should know that you were a gift sent to me.

If you didn't look like a concubine I loved, do you think you could have survived until now with your meager bloodline?

Your identity, even your mother didn't know.

Your father couldn't have known either!

So, you should thank me. If you become my daughter-in-law, I can guarantee you a life of luxury!"

After Calderon's voice fell, he fixed his gaze on Xiao Yao.

His eyes were filled with greed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao's face was incredibly ugly.

Now, she finally understood why she was born into Calderon's royal family.

It was all because she looked like someone else.

"Calderon, you will die a horrible death!"

An angry voice rang out, chilling to the bone.

But facing Xiao Yao's words, Calderon showed no fear.

"Haha, I am Calderon, I am a god!

Now, surrender obediently. As long as you serve me well, I can spare your life!"

Calderon's voice was filled with madness.

Xiao Yao's eyes were filled with firm light.

Calderon had completely lost his humanity.

No matter what her parents had done wrong, it wasn't a crime punishable by death.

And now, he wanted to sacrifice her too.

Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Yao's mind.

The next moment, she raised her sword.

And shouted.

"Calderon, I will fight you to the death!"

As the sound rang out, she prepared to strike.

But Cynthia's attack arrived first.

The dagger emitted a cold light.

"Ding!"

As the crisp sound of metal clashing fell.

Xiao Yao's body was sent flying.

"Thump!" CHAPTER 400

Then, she fell in the distance.

"Heh heh, little girl, you really are stubborn!"

Calderon wore a savage smile.

Cynthia, standing to the side, did not hesitate.

Her figure flashed, and she attacked Xiao Yao again. CHAPTER 401
