In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 524 Fierce

Every time Zheng Qiuyan went to Chenjia Village, she would spend some time with Su Qiaoxi, and Xiao Yuan would always accompany her during these times.

Therefore, Zheng Qiuyan and Xiaoyuan have a very deep relationship. Zheng Qiuyan is the closest person to Xiaoyuan besides Chen Dao and Su Qiaoxi.

So when Zheng Qiuyan saw Xiaoyuan in danger, she couldn't help but feel very worried and concerned about Xiaoyuan's safety.

In fact, not only Zheng Qiuyan, but Jiang Changye also showed a worried expression.

Now he has realized that Chen Dao's reliance is that strange beast called Xiao Yuan.

If the beast is defeated or even killed, Chen Dao, as well as Chen Cheng, Xue Qi, Jiang Weiyu, and even Yu Cui and Lü Xiaoyi who are by Chen Dao's side, will be in mortal danger.

After all... the Prince of Qing is not a kind-hearted person, but a cruel and tyrannical prince. He can even torture and kill pregnant women. He would not care about Yu Cui and Lü Xiaoyi's status as women and children.

Fortunately, their worries soon dissipated.

"Uh-huh-huh."

As a series of crisp cries rang out, the flames gradually dissipated, revealing Xiao Yuan's body.

As a red fire panda, the red fire that rolls back naturally cannot hurt Xiaoyuan.

only……

Xia Yan's behavior has clearly angered Xiao Yuan, and even made the highly intelligent creature feel extremely ashamed.

The fact that the flames it had unleashed were being whipped back at it by the enemy made Xiaoyuan feel humiliated, and thus... it became even angrier!

Of course, even when the adorable little round girl is angry, her round little face still looks harmless.

only……

This was someone else's thought, not Xia Yan's. As the flames subsided, Xia Yan felt a strong, inexplicable pang of fear.

This feeling came out of nowhere, simply because Xia Yan, who was a near-third-rank martial artist, did not feel that Xiao Yuan could pose any threat to him.

But the next second, his thoughts changed.

The small, round figure that had been in his sight just moments before slowly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already behind Xia Yan, its sharp claws outstretched, slashing towards Xia Yan's back.

Xia Yan felt a chill run down his back. Before he could even think, relying on his rich combat experience and instincts, he quickly turned around and slashed behind him with his sword.

"clang!"

The claws struck the blade, producing a crisp sound.

Xiao Yuan was sent flying again, but this time she didn't land on the ground like before. Instead, she lightly touched the ground with her hind legs, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then disappeared from Xia Yan's sight again.

"So fast!"

Zhu the butcher squinted, trying his best to see Xiao Yuan's strange movements, but soon realized it was in vain.

Even with his peak fourth-grade eyesight, he could only catch the afterimage left by Xiaoyuan's movement, and could not discern Xiaoyuan's exact location at all.

"What kind of monster is this, with such terrifying speed?"

Jiang Canghai said with a solemn expression, "Xiao Yuan's performance is truly astonishing. Not only can she spew out those strange flames, but she also possesses such incredible speed."

Jiang Canghai couldn't help but think that if he were to face Xiaoyuan, he would probably be helpless.

His extreme speed made it impossible for him to attack Madoka, while Madoka could take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him, and even use her Crimson Flame to attack him...

Thankfully, I'm not the one who has to deal with this little beast!

Jiang Canghai couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Jiang Canghai was certainly pleased that the Qingwang Mansion had encountered such a formidable enemy.

After all... the White Lotus Sect and the Qingzhou Army were true mortal enemies, and the greater the losses suffered by the Qingwang Mansion, the happier the White Lotus Sect would be.

even……

If Xia Yuanying were really killed by Chen Dao, Jiang Canghai would probably be overjoyed.

"Pfft!"

Just as Jiang Canghai was gloating, Xiao Yuan appeared beside Xia Yan again with ghostly speed.

This time, Xia Yan didn't have time to react and was left with a bloody wound on his shoulder by Xiao Yuan.

Even more terrifying was that the wound was still burning, causing Xia Yan to lose sensation in almost his entire arm.

"not good!"

Seeing Xia Yan fall into a disadvantageous position, Xia Yuanying quickly realized that he absolutely could not sit idly by and watch Xia Yan be defeated, because apart from Xia Yan, there was no one else who could restrain that strange beast.

Therefore, Xia Yuanying immediately shouted, "Soldiers, quickly capture that boy, he is the key!"

Although Xia Yuanying was violent, he was not stupid. On the contrary, he was extremely smart and quickly realized that the strange beast was driven by Chen Dao. As long as Chen Dao could be captured, the current crisis could be resolved immediately!

"kill!"

Upon hearing Xia Yuanying's order, the guards of the Prince's Palace did not hesitate and shouted the word "kill" as they surrounded and attacked Chen Dao again.

"A good idea, but unfortunately..."

Facing the approaching guards of the Prince's mansion, Chen Dao showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he laughed.

The reason he couldn't defeat the Prince's personal guards before was because Xia Yan, a near-third-rank martial artist, was among them.

And at this time...

Xia Yan was already being held back by Xiao Yuan, and the remaining guards of the royal palace were at most at the sixth rank. How could they possibly capture Chen Dao?

"Useless!"

Chen Dao took a step forward, casually swung the Evil-Slaying Sword, and cut the incoming longsword in two. Immediately afterward, Chen Dao struck out with his palm.

"boom!"

A sixth-rank royal guard who charged straight at Chen Dao had bulging eyes and a deep palm print on his chest!

The palm strike that Chen Dao casually unleashed carried an unbearable weight in his life. As the palm struck, the powerful force of a fourth-grade cultivator instantly surged into the body of the guard from the royal palace.

Then this force surged through his body, instantly destroying all his internal organs!

"Uh!"

A flicker of astonishment crossed the eyes of the prince's guard, a lingering sense of reluctance to leave this world, and a disbelief that Chen Dao's strength was so formidable. But...

None of that matters anymore.

His internal organs were completely destroyed by the force, and his life came to an end in an instant. A trickle of blood slid from the corner of his mouth, and then more and more blood flowed out.

Soon, he stopped breathing completely.

Meanwhile, Chen Dao did not stop.

While dodging the attacks of the Prince's guards, Chen Dao, who killed a sixth-rank official with a single palm strike, continued to swing his palm, each strike taking away a life.

In just a dozen breaths, as many as 20 of the Prince's guards died under Chen Dao's control.

On the other side, Chen Cheng was equally ruthless.

Although Chen Cheng had practiced the Cloud Shadow Palm, he preferred to use the Tiger Subduing Fist when fighting.

Chen Cheng's fist techniques were wide and powerful, each punch delivered with full force. Any guard in the royal palace who was hit by Chen Cheng's fist would either have their bones shattered or die instantly!
