"Buzz!!!"
Just as Shen Shaolong and the others flew out of Jiangnan City, an astonishing spear intent shot straight into the sky. Immediately after, a long spear thrust upwards from the ground towards Shen Shaolong and the bodyguard carrying him.
"Seeking death!!!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Shaolong and the others' expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with rage. Shen Shaolong had just declared that anyone who dared to attack them at this moment would face consequences.
The spear flew with incredible speed, arriving before Shen Shaolong and the two of them in the blink of an eye. The attacker was so sudden that they had little time to react.
"Young Master, retreat!!!"
The bodyguard roared, pushing Shen Shaolong back. He then unleashed his aura and punched towards the spear.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the bodyguard grunted in pain, and then his fist exploded, sending blood and gore flying.
A look of horror flashed across his face. Another late-stage Emperor-level expert, and one who wielded a spear! This instantly made him think of someone.
Da Qin, Kong Wenbin!!!
As expected, Kong Wenbin appeared on the ground, his face cold, his long spear humming softly.
"Damn it!!! Are the people of Da Qin all lunatics?! Didn't you hear what this young master just said? If you dare to make a move, this young master will make your Dark Plum Commander lose all face in public!!!"
Shen Shaolong roared, his face contorted with ferocity. He thought he could escape, but unexpectedly, another general from Da Qin appeared.
"You are forcing this young master to go mad!"
Shen Shaolong roared, already flying to An Mei's side. A crimson glint flashed in his eyes. If Da Qin gave him no way out, then he wouldn't let Da Qin have an easy time either.
"You dare?! If you dare to touch her, you will all die!!!"
From the ground, Kong Wenbin bellowed, thrusting his spear out again, directly at Shen Shaolong.
Shen Shaolong was just about to strip An Mei when the spear suddenly lunged at him with immense power.
Seeing this, Shen Shaolong's eyes flashed with fear. The other party had gone mad. An Mei was with him. If the other party attacked with such abandon, weren't they afraid of harming their own people?
Madman! Shen Shaolong's mind flashed with a thought, and he quickly dodged aside, not daring to gamble.
The spear flew rapidly. After Shen Shaolong dodged it, it was about to stab An Mei. However, the two bodyguards holding her could not ignore it, because if An Mei died, their entire group would be truly finished.
"Attack!"
One of them growled, and then both struck out with their fists, bombarding Kong Wenbin's spear.
"Boom!"
In the high sky, a blinding ball of light exploded, followed by a terrifying shockwave that swept through the surroundings.
The bodyguard with the severed hand quickly shielded Shen Shaolong, while the other two bodyguards retreated rapidly with An Mei.
"Damn it! Are you all crazy? You want to kill your own people?!"
Shen Shaolong roared, filled with shock and a hint of fear. He regretted his actions.
These people from Da Qin were simply lunatics. If it weren't for his two bodyguards intervening with that spear just now, An Mei would surely have died!
Thinking of this, he felt incredibly aggrieved. Clearly, he held the bargaining chip, yet he was constantly suppressed by Da Qin, which made him extremely displeased.
At the same time, Kong Wenbin leaped into the sky, holding his spear, and looked at Shen Shaolong and the others, speaking in a chilling voice.
"Release her, then surrender. I can promise you that if the Shen Sect is willing to pay a price to exchange for you, you might not die!"
Concurrently, Long Shiwu also caught up, blocking Shen Shaolong and the others from front and back with Kong Wenbin.
However, his expression towards Kong Wenbin was somewhat grim. That spear just now had made him sweat, and he realized the other party truly did not care about An Mei!
At the same time, some powerful individuals watching from the shadows could not help but feel shocked. Da Qin was determined to capture Shen Shaolong and his group, even if An Mei, who was being held hostage, perished.
This was too ruthless. Did they truly not care about their own people at all?
Upon hearing Kong Wenbin's threat, Shen Shaolong could not help but laugh in anger. Ask them to release An Mei and then surrender? Did they take him for a fool?
As the young master of the dignified Shen Sect, being threatened like this, where was his dignity?!
"Ridiculous! Your person is in my hands, and you're not begging me to release her, but threatening me to surrender and become a prisoner?!! Are you out of your mind!!!"
As he spoke, Shen Shaolong moved beside An Mei and then looked at Kong Wenbin ahead, his face full of provocation.
"I'll give you one last chance. Clear the path for me, or this young master will make Da Qin the laughingstock of the world today!"
"This is indeed your Da Qin's territory, but don't forget, these three subordinates of mine are not weak. If you truly push this young master to his limit, this young master will put on a live show of your Dark Plum Commander and myself for all of Jiangnan to see!!!"
"You dare?!!!"
Upon hearing this, Long Shiwu roared from behind, his eyes instantly turning red. Kong Wenbin's face also darkened, and a dense killing intent emanated from his body, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly.
One side was frenzied, and the other was equally audacious. Neither side was willing to back down. This made the various factions observing the situation around them feel their scalps tingle.
The situation today was escalating, with no room for de-escalation.
"Long Shiwu!!! Kill me!!! Don't disgrace the King!!!"
An Mei shouted, her eyes filled with hatred. She would rather die than be humiliated or let the Dragon King Hall become a laughingstock.
"Shut up! You slut! Did I tell you to speak?!"
Seeing this, Shen Shaolong slapped her directly, his eyes ferocious, and then looked at Kong Wenbin ahead, his face filled with defiance.
"You, try to make a move!!"
"Buzz!!!"
Upon seeing this, Long Shiwu and Kong Wenbin simultaneously erupted with astonishing killing intent, their terrifying auras pressing down on Shen Shaolong and the others.
However, neither of them made a move.
"Hmph! Since you don't dare to act, then get out of my way! A bunch of madmen, forcing this young master to go mad!"
Shen Shaolong sneered upon seeing this, his tone filled with mockery. He knew that no matter how crazy the people of Da Qin were, they would still care about An Mei.
Hearing this, Long Shiwu and Kong Wenbin's expressions grew even colder, their eyeballs bloodshot. Da Qin had never been so pressured before.
"No matter the outcome today, Da Qin will surely go to war with the Shen Sect! To the death!!!"
Long Shiwu gritted his teeth and growled, tears streaming from his eyes. He had already made up his mind.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Shaolong and the others' faces turned grim, especially Shen Shaolong, who was filled with both anger and shock, as well as a hint of fear.
He had not expected that his taunting would lead the people of Da Qin to make such a decision.
Hearing Long Shiwu's voice, An Mei closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek. She then shouted loudly.
"Fifteen!!! Make your move! In the next life, I will still be the Dark Department Commander of the Dragon King Hall!!!"
"Mei! Rest in peace!!!"
Instantly, an astonishing sword intent shot straight into the sky. Long Shiwu behind her, holding his long sword, blood tears flowing from his eyes, slashed towards An Mei.
At the same time, Kong Wenbin in front also attacked. He gritted his teeth, his long spear glowing brightly, his killing intent soaring, and he thrust his spear out.
At this moment, they had truly gone mad!
