Chapter 566: Encirclement

It was like the spell in a zombie movie finally took shape, and instantly pierced into Katayama Hiroshi's brow.

Even though he had fainted, this guy twitched in pain.

"All right."

Ling Xiyi clapped his hands and stood up. Li Rui immediately called a few extraordinary people to send the prisoners back to the forward base overnight.

The remaining soldiers stood in front of Li Rui like a reviewing army.

Looking around, more than 40 elite silver-level condensed energy like the sea, his teammates were ready to fight, and there were two archangels from mythology standing on the left and right. Li Rui's chest was full of heroic spirit.

With this lineup, the secret diamonds were clearly arranged for him!

"Go!"

With a wave of his arm, the team that was enough to destroy a small country suddenly turned into shadows and rushed towards [Beibai Ze] dozens of miles away.

………………

"Souta... what happened?"

At the top of the dark "castle tower", a gorgeous veil separated the inside and the outside. Yoshida Sota knelt outside the door with his five bodies prostrated, feeling uneasy.

"Your Excellency, we have been attacked by a long-range attack from an unknown source. Hiroshi Katayama has already gone out to check. I believe there will be a result soon."

"He went out alone? Why didn't you go with him?"

The dry and hoarse voice was like a saw rubbing against wood, making people feel suffocated.

Yoshida Souta's heart tightened. He couldn't tell the king that he was angry that Hiroshi Katayama had destroyed his "two countries" trade and deliberately stood him up, right?

Besides, he had already received news that Hiroshi Katayama had caused this incident himself. He couldn't even kick him when he was down, so how could he help him?

As for the danger, a few low-level demon slayers are only brave at best. What danger can there be?

"Your Excellency, because I am worried that the enemy has accomplices in the city. If they use fire attacks and disturb your Excellency, then I will die without redemption."

There was a dead silence in the gauze, but the reflected shadows were like evil ghosts with fangs and claws, as if there were some deformed and twisted monsters stretching their bodies inside.

After a long time, the air gradually condensed, and a thin layer of sweat began to appear on Yoshida Sota's forehead. He put his head on the ground and shivered.

"Huh..."

As if a heavy gasp came from the leaky chest, the sound of chewing and swallowing was endless. Yoshida Sota shivered all over and buried his head even lower.

"Go and send my precious granddaughter Xiao Youmei. I miss her so much..."

The harsh voice came into his ears, and Yoshida Sota widened his eyes in disbelief, and a chill came to his heart.

"...Yes...sir."

Yoshida Sota replied in a low voice, and retreated in a somewhat embarrassed manner. It was not until he left the "castle tower" that he realized that his vest was soaked with cold sweat.

Looking back at the top of the tower hidden in the dark, he gritted his teeth fiercely.

The king was getting more and more crazy. This was his last relative. What terrible things would he do next?

No, [Beibai Ze] is about to be finished, I have to find another way out!

Last time, the woman said that converting to her god could avoid this situation. Maybe I should get in touch with them more deeply...

Secretly making up his mind, Yoshida Souta led his subordinates to the gorgeous courtyard behind the "castle tower", where many family members and descendants of the lord originally lived, but now it was empty, with only a few windows still shining dimly.

Ten minutes later, Yoshida Souta walked into the "castle tower" with a little girl who looked like a delicate jade sculpture, and walked out with lingering fear after a long time.

Calming down his inner emotions, he suddenly found that the surroundings were a little abnormally quiet.

Where did his guards go?

His nerves suddenly tensed, Yoshida Souta pulled out the ancient longbow on his back and carefully put on a sharp arrow made entirely of steel.

Looking around, a thin black fog rose up at some point, not only blocking the light, but also completely swallowing up the sound.

There was a dead silence in a radius of nearly 100 meters, and Yoshida Souta even had the illusion that he was the only one left in the world.

"Lord Sota, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much!"

A familiar voice suddenly came to his ears, and he turned around and shot an arrow without hesitation.

The arrow that had been charged for a long time was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, tearing the air in an instant, and the spreading energy left a straight gully on the ground.

Swish!

The harsh metal friction sound made his scalp numb. Yoshida Sota looked carefully and found that the arrow he shot had been tightly caught by a golden palm.

Intercept my arrow with bare hands?

Yoshida Sota's pupils shrank, and he looked at the familiar face in disbelief.

"Li... Li Rui!?"

"It's me. I don't know where Lord Sota is going in such a hurry?"

Li Rui seemed to not care about being shot by an arrow at all. He threw away the melted and deformed steel arrow in his hand and greeted with a chuckle.

"Where are you... Katayama Hiro?"

Li Rui, who was supposed to be hunted, appeared here. Where did Katayama Hiro, who was hunting him, go?

Yoshida Souta cursed in his heart, Katayama Hiroshi, this brainless and reckless man, was actually lured away from the mountain!

But then, he remembered that Li Rui caught his arrow with his bare hands, and a terrifying thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Could Katayama Hiroshi be killed by them?

No, that guy is as hard as a mountain. Not to mention these low-level warriors, even if the Lord of the country takes action himself, it is impossible to kill him easily.

So... that guy should have been lured away in circles, and when he reacts, he will come back to support immediately!

With a quick thought, Yoshida Souta calmed down immediately.

"Katayama Hiro? Are you talking about that bull-like idiot? Take it back and squeeze the juice."

Li Rui laughed and said something that puzzled Yoshida Souta.

Squeeze the juice?

What does that mean?

Thinking of the bloody hot spring where he bathed, Yoshida Souta's heart suddenly tightened.

Could they be related to those people?

Then capturing Katayama Hiro alive might not be a lie!

"What do you want to do by surrounding the Imperial Palace late at night? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Lord?"

Yoshida Souta asked righteously, but adjusted his steps slightly, ready to divert the trouble to the Lord and let the Lord deal with these ignorant foreigners.

"Afraid, of course I'm afraid, so I found some helpers."

Although Li Rui said this, there was no fear on his face, but a faint smile.

Then, shadows appeared behind him one after another.

The hazy figures broke through the black fog, and two blond women who were too beautiful to be ordinary people walked up to him, ignoring Yoshida Souta, staring at the top of the "castle tower".

"You sensed it correctly, there is indeed something twisted spreading pollution."

Li Rui touched his nose. This was not what he sensed, it was all Ling Xiyi's credit.

"This guy has also entered the [Fallen Paradise] recently, but I don't know if the two are related."
