Chapter 1118

Ah!!!

With the help of 【Unfortunately No】, the sturdy guard who suffered a fatal blow to the groin let out a miserable cry, immediately released his grip, and with legs crossed, plopped down to his knees, unable to get up on the spot.

After this incident, Li Ang not only obtained the weapon from his hand, but also found the trick to deal with these iron-skinned guards.

After these guards turned into iron skin, their bodies became astonishingly sturdy—feeling no pain and fearless of death, each one more troublesome than the last. Truly wishing they wouldn't block his way, he probably would have to dismember them one by one.

But once I equipped the "Egg-Beating" badge, I no longer needed to go through all that trouble—just blast each one with an egg, guaranteed to take them down in one hit; a kick to the groin would make them collapse instantly, and they certainly couldn't get up within five minutes.

Simply perfect!

After giving his sharpness a thumbs-up in his heart, Li Ang, whose injuries had just recovered, once again locked onto a target, grabbed the opponent's weapon and pulled it over, breaking their balance, then immediately stomped down with a thudding kick; the unfortunate soul in the sights let out a miserable cry and collapsed, following the same fate as the sturdy guard.

Now that he had found a solution, the following matters became very simple.

In the repeated cycle of "thud" and "ah!", one after another of the iron-skinned guards, as sturdy as young calves, lifted their buttocks, clamped their legs, and lined up kneeling on the ground, the entire corridor filled with the groaning sounds of fallen guards.

"Don't! Don't!"

After more than twenty guards had knelt down, someone finally gave up resistance, hastily threw away his weapon, clamped his legs, and with a face full of terror said:

"I... I surrender..."

Thud!

Ah!!!

After prying open the surrendering guard's clamped legs and kicking him, sending him to line up with the Wudang team, Li Ang finally freed himself from the entanglement, and while rushing quickly toward the stairwell, he apologized in his heart to the iron-skinned guards.

Don't blame me for kicking hard—I'm really doing this for your own good.

If I didn't do it this cleanly, shaking you off would require heavy blows, but after this anomalous object is removed, it's uncertain whether those who lose their heads can survive; compared to having your big head blown apart, having your small head blown apart is still better, right?

"He's out!"

"Someone!"

"Don't let him go upstairs!"

Seeing Li Ang break free from the guards' entanglement, the reinforcements rushing over quickly closed in, trying to entangle Li Ang and prevent him from going upstairs to find the iron-skinned princess.

However, in the relatively spacious study, the guards could still hold Li Ang for a while despite being outnumbered, but the stairwell was much narrower, allowing at most two or three people to confront Li Ang at once, and they were quickly knocked down one by one.

And the repeated "thud-ah" egg-blasting sounds traveled up the stairwell, reaching the iron-skinned princess's ears.

Damn it! How could they be stopped so easily after just a moment?

Upon realizing Li Ang seemed to have already caught up, the iron-skinned princess unconsciously clenched her fists, then shouted at the flag officer beside the tower:

"Still not ready? Notify the stationed garrison to come over—does it really take this long to signal?"

"This... should have already been notified... but the flag officer over there seems a bit off..."

Looking at the flag signals from the distant military camp responding, the flag officer's iron-skinned face was full of bewilderment as he said:

"I reported our side's emergency and requested reinforcements; they replied via flag signal that they were all safe; then I said the palace was under attack and demanded immediate mobilization, and they replied that the situation was stable;

Just now I tried again, telling them it was a ten-thousand-urgent emergency requiring immediate deployment, and they replied 'Long live the kingdom'... I also don't know what's going on..."

What nonsense is this?

After snatching the telescope from the flag officer's hand and glancing at the flag signals from the military camp side, discovering they were indeed responding with "read and random reply," the iron-skinned princess couldn't help but grit her teeth, inwardly cursing the old king and the camp commander.

A bunch of stupid pigs!

To entrust such an important post as guarding the palace to such stupid people? The flag officer responsible for guarding the palace can't even understand flag signals? This damned kingdom is truly rotten to the core!

Forget it—expecting the garrison to arrive in time is no longer realistic.

Hearing the growing noise approaching from downstairs, knowing Li Ang was already close behind, the iron-skinned princess stomped her feet, threw the telescope to the flag officer, ordered him to keep signaling here, and then hurriedly ran toward the other stairwell, preparing to first escape the sleeping palace and then talk. The guards inside the sleeping palace, when added together, numbered only a few dozen, but the two guard teams rotating palace duty, when combined, totaled eight or nine hundred, and adding the four patrol units outside the palace could make it even more!

As long as I can run out of the sleeping palace, I can gather the palace guards, temporarily hold this troublesome guy, then directly go to the garrison's camp, lead the garrison to slaughter all royal members, and facing a formed army, he will absolutely not be able to stop me!

And through the soul vision of the Black Mountain Goat, after noticing the iron-skinned princess's movements, Li Ang immediately followed her downstairs, but unfortunately, on the way up, the ground was littered with fallen guards, and new iron-skinned guards kept entering the sleeping palace, so for a time he was actually blocked in the stairwell.

Looks like I'll have to take another route.

After a long time, I finally descended one floor, only to find a large crowd of soldiers blocking the way below, while the iron-skinned princess's soul had already rushed out of the sleeping palace. After a slight hesitation, Li Ang, under the astonished gaze of numerous iron-skinned guards, actually flipped directly out of the stairwell's railing.

Boom!

Accompanied by a tremendous crash, Li Ang plummeted headfirst from the height of six floors, straight down to the first-floor ground, smashing the stone tiles on the stairwell floor into several pieces.

And upon hearing the tremendous crash, the princess jerked her head back in alarm, discovering Li Ang stumbling to his feet, swaying as he chased after her, and instantly felt a tingling numbness on her scalp.

Damn it! How can he be so troublesome?

"Guards!"

Seeing Li Ang risking a jump from the building to chase her, fearing he would catch her before she completed her goal, the iron-skinned princess had no choice but to run while shouting sharply:

"Come on! Quick, come on!"

"Rebels want to kill me! Guards!!!"

Yet strangely, the iron-skinned princess shouted for a long time, yet not a single person came to respond. The guards who should have been stationed in the palace, for some unknown reason, had all mysteriously vanished, no matter how she shouted, there was no trace of them.

What's going on? Why isn't there a single guard?

Unaware that the palace guards had already been taken by Li Ang to the garden pond to practice diving, after shouting for a while with no response, Li Ang behind her was actually getting closer and closer. The iron-skinned princess gritted her teeth and directly turned to run toward the palace gate.

No guards? No problem—there are still people on the outside street! Letting those people entangle him would work just as well!

Having made up her mind, the iron-skinned princess began desperately running toward the palace exterior, but behind her, the relentlessly pursuing Li Ang had already recovered his body, his heavy footsteps growing closer and closer, each step seeming to tread on her heart, making her heart sink more and more.

Not good! The palace grounds are large, and there's also a square outside. Given the current situation, I fear that before I can even run out of the palace and order outsiders to come help, I will already be caught and apprehended—what should I do?

However, just as the iron-skinned princess was about to fall into despair, it seemed as if even heaven was helping her—large numbers of armed people suddenly rushed in from outside the palace, entering the range she could command.

Help has arrived!

Without time to ponder why so many ordinary people had rushed into the palace, the iron-skinned princess, overjoyed at the arrival of reinforcements, directly pointed her hand at the approaching Li Ang, raised her voice, and shouted sharply:

"Quick! I order you to seize him!"

"..."

???

When they saw Princess Veronica running out of the palace unharmed, the rebels who had stormed the palace were overjoyed at first, but after hearing her command, these elite rebels' eyes instantly filled with deep confusion.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing the bald woman who had led the rebels into the palace, shouting excitedly as she ran up to him and demanding that he catch Li Ang, he couldn't help but scratch his bald head, then pointed at Li Ang in the distance and asked, bewildered:

"You want us to arrest our own leader?"

"..."

??????
