Chapter 226: The Death of the Three Beasts (Part 1)

Imperial Capital, inside the Imperial Palace.

The Little Emperor looked at Esdeath before him and said with a face full of joy: "General Esdeath, the suppression in the North was done beautifully. As a reward, I have prepared ten thousand Golden for you!"

"Many thanks for the reward, Your Majesty. I will send it to the Pawn who remained there to guard against the North; I am sure they will be very happy!" Esdeath said. "However, since I have returned to the Imperial Capital, I also want to go and see what kind of skills this so-called Night Raid has. I will purge them and return a peaceful night to Your Majesty!"

"Then I will trouble you, General. Oh, that's right, besides the Golden, I also want to give General Esdeath some other rewards. I wonder what the General would like?" the Little Emperor asked.

"This... if I must say, I hope to be able to fall in love!" Esdeath said a sentence that left everyone present stunned.

"Th-this... that is true. The General is in the prime of her youth, yet still alone. How about I introduce someone to you!" The Little Emperor was the first to react, hitting his palm with a fist. "For example, how about this Minister beside me?"

"Wait... Your Majesty!" Hearing the Little Emperor's words, dense cold sweat instantly broke out on Honest's forehead. This person was the Empire's famous Sadistic Queen; his small frame would absolutely not be enough to handle her!

"No need, Your Majesty. I already have a plan in my heart for what kind of person I like, so there is no need to trouble Your Majesty. Now, I want to see the information collected so far regarding Night Raid. I wonder if Your Majesty could have someone send it to me?"

"I will have my subordinates send over all the information collected during this period!" the Minister on the side spoke up.

Leaving the main hall, Esdeath spoke to the Three Beasts following behind her: "I have a new mission I want to entrust to you now!"

"No matter what it is, please command us, Lady Esdeath." Liver spoke up.

"We three are your most loyal servants, Lady Esdeath!" Nyau interjected.

"No matter when, no matter what the order, we will obey!" the last one, Daidas, said in a deep voice.

"Very good! Your mission is..." Esdeath nodded.

Outside the Imperial Capital, Luo Yexi was galloping toward the direction of the Imperial Capital. On her shoulder, she carried a Danger Beast that was dozens of times larger than her body. Today was the day Luo Yexi came out to find ingredients. This Danger Beast on her shoulder was a type of Danger Beast with extremely delicious meat, but its strength was also among the best of the Danger Beasts, ranking among the Special Danger Beast. However, in front of Luo Yexi, this kind of Danger Beast was just a slightly harder-to-catch ingredient.

"Hm? There seems to be movement over there!" Suddenly, Luo Yexi stopped her steps and looked into the distance. "Forget it, I'll go take a look!"

On the main road leading to the Imperial Capital, the ground was littered with corpses; judging by their attire, they seemed to be guards. Besides them, there was a young girl kneeling on the ground; looking at her appearance, it seemed her abdomen had suffered a heavy blow. Additionally, there was an old man leaning on a cane, fallen on the ground. As for the culprits who caused this scene, they were the other three men present. Well, although one of them looked very much like a girl, he was indeed a man.

At this moment, the man who looked like a girl squatted in front of the girl and said with a smile: "Truly a beautiful girl. If I peel off your skin, it will definitely become one of my important collections!"

Sibiya looked at the boy in front of her in horror. She never expected that this adorable youth before her eyes was actually such a cruel person.

Just as the three people present were about to deal a lethal blow to the remaining two, a leisurely voice came: "Three grown men bullying a girl and an old man, what kind of heroes are you!"

Following the voice came three sharp streaks of Sword Qi. Liver and the others were startled and retreated simultaneously. The three streaks of Sword Qi struck the ground at the same time, blasting three small pits into the flat road.

"Who is it?" Liver looked around vigilantly.

"Why are you looking around? I'm right here!" On the main road, a figure suddenly appeared. In this figure's hand, she was also carrying a massive Danger Beast; it was none other than Luo Yexi.

"Who are you?" Liver said cautiously.

He recognized the Danger Beast Luo Yexi was carrying; it was a quite powerful Danger Beast. For this woman to be able to hunt such a Danger Beast without a scratch, she was surely no simple character.

"Liver, what are you afraid of? I could hunt a whole bunch of such Danger Beasts by myself. And don't you think this girl's skin could become one of my best collections?" Nyau looked at Luo Yexi's pretty face, his body trembling with excitement.

"That's right, that's right. This woman looks much stronger than that pile of trash just now. If I kill her, I will definitely be able to gain more experience!" Daidas also said with an excited face.

Before Liver could say anything, Daidas had already fiercely thrown the axe in his hand. The spinning axe drew a strange arc in mid-air, cutting toward Luo Yexi's neck.

"Starting a fight? Then come on!" Luo Yexi casually tossed the Danger Beast in her hand to the side of the road, stepped on the ground with her right foot, and her figure turned into a blur as she rushed out.

"Take this!" Luo Yexi held her fingers together as a sword, Nine Yang Power condensed on her fingertips, and she pointed out, instantly knocking the spinning axe away.

"Such fast speed!" Daidas was shocked in his heart. Luo Yexi had already rushed in front of him, Nine Yang Power surged violently, and she slapped both palms heavily toward Daidas.

Just at this moment, a wall of water suddenly rose in front of Daidas. Luo Yexi's palms struck the water wall, and two holes instantly appeared on it. However, Daidas also took advantage of the moment Luo Yexi's momentum slowed to retreat backward.

"Be careful, this woman is not simple!" Liver warned.

"I know!" Nyau had already retreated to the very back and took out his own Teigu to start playing.

The moment the flute sound started, Luo Yexi sensitively noticed that the aura of the three enemies present had all risen. It seemed that there was some kind of power in the sound of this flute that could enhance the strength of teammates.

Liver also took off his white gloves, revealing a silver-white ring worn on his hand. The moment the ring appeared, the surrounding water was attracted by some kind of power and gathered around Liver.

"Three Teigu Users, it seems quite interesting. This is my first time fighting against Teigu Users; I hope you won't let me down!" Nine Yang Power surged on Luo Yexi's body, and wisps of green smoke had already risen from the ground beneath her feet.

Daidas let out a sharp whistle, and the spinning axe in his hand left his hand once again, coordinating with the water dragon Liver was manipulating to attack Luo Yexi. Luo Yexi gathered Nine Yang Power on her fingers again and waved her hand casually; the Nine Yang Power transformed into Sword Qi and shot out violently.

Watching the Sword Qi shooting out from Luo Yexi's hand, Liver suddenly felt his hair stand on end, as if someone had placed a blade against his neck.

"Careful, don't take it head-on!" Liver warned loudly.

But his warning was already too late. Luo Yexi's Sword Qi instantly wiped out the water dragon Liver was manipulating, knocked away Daidas's spinning axe, and headed straight for Daidas.

Daidas could not dodge in time; the Nine Yang Sword Qi passed through his body, leaving several holes in him. Daidas opened his mouth wide, as if wanting to say something, but the surging blood blocked his throat. He ultimately could not say anything before falling to the ground.

One of the Three Beasts, Daidas, has fallen.
