Evil Emperor's Wild Consort

The Leader really is acting with too much haste.

Then again, he didn’t have any other way! Once this fellow has made up his mind, no one can change it! However, if you asked him to leave the World Destruction Mercenaries and live out an ignoble existence, he could not do it either.

"Leader, we will support you in whatever decisions you make. We only hope that you’d put the mercenaries’ needs into consideration as well! I do not wish for my comrades, some whom I’ve known for many years to lose their lives in a commanding mistake."

This was the last piece of advice that he could give him.

Ye Ying did not reply. Except, his grey eyes held a sense of determination. After a long pause, he raised his hand, placed it up high before putting it down. "Hear my order, World Destruction Mercenaries, we will continue on our journey! This day is our chance to leave this Nemesis Forest!"

Nemesis Forest — Under the scorching heat of the setting sun.

Xia Linyu seemed to sense the footsteps coming from behind him, and gently raised his brow, "Sister, I think they’re following us."

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun was also stunned. She never thought that Ye Ying would have the guts to make such a decision! However, it was very obvious that this decision was no mistake.

"Let’s not concern ourselves with them for now. We’ll be reaching the beast king’s lair soon. Yu’er, when that time comes, you stay away for a bit. Leave the beast king to me."

Gu Ruoyun smiled mildly. Her gaze fixed upon the enormous power that came from ahead the entire time. Her brows wrinkled. As they drew deeper and deeper, the power she sensed grew even greater.

That power was so strong that it was suffocating.

Xia Linyu turned slightly pale. Just as he felt that he could no longer take it, a gentle hand clasped tightly around his hand.

Threads of gentle spiritual energy entered his body through the palm of his hand, which also alleviated the discomfort in his body. When he was finally able to breathe again, he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and flashed a sunny smile.

"Thank you, sister."

"Don’t talk. Let’s continue walking."

Gu Ruoyun’s expression grew even more severe. If she did not have the Vermillion Bird on hand, she would not have any way of defeating this spiritual beast.

At that moment, she personally did not have enough power!

"Roar!" A loud roar was heard, and the horizon trembled.

Even the mountain range beneath Gu Ruoyun’s feet trembled.

The roar was mixed with agony and joy, as if it needed to let it all out as fiercely as possible.

This was the foreshadowing of a holy beast’s breakthrough!

"Watch out!"

Gu Ruoyun’s eyes sharpened, and she quickly pulled Xia Linyu behind her.

It was also at this moment that countless spiritual beasts charged out from within the forest ahead. Their fangs were bared and their claws brandished as they charged toward Gu Ruoyun and the rest! At the sight of such fearsome spiritual beasts, the World Destruction Mercenaries were so frightened that their legs nearly gave way.

"Gu... Miss Gu. What do these spiritual beasts want this time?"

A mercenary asked as he trembled. Despite having encountered numerous battles, they’ve never been faced with anything like this before!

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders, "This time, they’re aiming at us! So you’ve better put up your defenses, quickly."

Spiritual beasts have keen senses. They could sense them from the moment the group had set foot into this lair. They would never allow for anyone to disturb the beast king during the crucial moment of his breakthrough.

Shua!

Hearing this, the mercenaries quickly drew their weapons. However, when faced with such fearsome spiritual beasts, a human’s power would decrease by an obvious degree. Under the attack of spiritual beasts, they would not even have the ability to protect themselves.
