102: The Dilemma of Human Warriors

Having someone lead the way indeed made things much more convenient.

It only took a single day for Lin Mu and his companions to arrive at Fancheng, the Imperial Capital of Yan Country.

This day felt like hell for the Asura Man who was leading the way.

Everywhere Lin Mu went, any members of other races they encountered were completely slaughtered.

What shocked him was that those who were killed—

whether they were of the Giant Race or the Asura Clan—were instantly annihilated.

They had almost no room to resist.

And the one who acted, from beginning to end, was always that old man in green robes.

The Unicorn Man (Asura Man) secretly glanced at Long Yuan.

He couldn't help but feel worried.

"Bringing these two here, was it right or wrong?"

Then he shook his head again.

Since things had come to this, he could only see it through to the end.

Thinking of this, he cautiously approached Lin Mu and said,

"Fancheng, the Imperial Capital of Yan Country, is just ahead. Can I leave now?"

Lin Mu was observing the situation in Fancheng.

Hearing the Unicorn Man (Asura Man)'s words, he turned and said, "You may go."

Upon hearing this, the Unicorn Man (Asura Man) dared not linger for a moment.

He channeled his spiritual power and, with a flash, flew rapidly towards Fancheng.

As he flew, he pondered.

Previously, he had not only lost his city but also led the way for the human race.

If the Asura Emperor were to find out, he would certainly not be let off lightly.

Now, he could only report the sudden arrival of Lin Mu and his group to the Great Emperor.

Two humans suspected to be in the Great Emperor Realm!

This news was enough to atone for his mistakes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

This glance instantly scared him out of his wits.

Behind him, terrifying black lightning bolts were striking him.

He couldn't even put up any defense before the lightning pierced through his entire body.

His body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted towards the ground.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, he used all his strength to roar,

"Despicable human, you broke your word!"

As his voice faded, his shattered body crashed heavily onto the ground.

In his dying moments, a voice suddenly entered his ears.

"I said I'd let you live, but this beast acted on its own, so you can't blame me for it."

Lin Mu's words were like a nail, pinning the Unicorn Man (Asura Man) to the pillar of shame.

The last thing he saw before he died was Lin Mu and his companions flying towards Fancheng.

He slowly closed his eyes, dying unwillingly.

Meanwhile, the Three-Headed Dog flying in the sky was protesting.

"Boss, you clearly told me to do it just now, how could you..."

Before the Three-Headed Dog could finish speaking, it suddenly met Lin Mu's cold gaze.

Frightened, it quickly swallowed the words it was about to say.

Seeing that the Three-Headed Dog wisely shut its mouth, Lin Mu withdrew his gaze and looked towards Fancheng again.

Suddenly, he slowly said, "Something is amiss."

Long Yuan echoed, "Yes, something is amiss. This vast city seems too quiet."

The Three-Headed Dog tilted its head and then said, "Perhaps they're all asleep, who knows."

Although the sky was getting dark at this time, it was only just past dinner.

Moreover, even if everyone was asleep, they wouldn't leave the city gates unguarded.

Lin Mu completely ignored the Three-Headed Dog.

He appeared above the city wall with a flash.

He looked around and saw that the city, which could accommodate millions of people, was now completely dark.

Only in the center of the city could a faint light be seen.

Lin Mu flew towards the light without hesitation.

At this moment, in the center of the light,

a huge array enveloped a group of human martial artists.

In the center of the array, a woman in white was leading the martial artists, fending off attacks from all sides.

Although this woman in white was petite, immense spiritual power continuously surged from her body.

She not only had to resist the array's attacks but also had to constantly guard against the cold arrows from the other races outside the array.

Even so, her face always maintained a calm and composed expression.

Just then, a priest from the Wind and Snow Country approached and said,

"Ice Emperor, this subordinate has asked the martial artists of Yan Country, and they all say they don't know the whereabouts of the Yan Emperor."

The woman in white was precisely the Ice Emperor, who had rushed to support Yan Country upon hearing the news.

Hearing the priest's words, the Ice Emperor's brows furrowed.

She looked at the hundreds of human martial artists behind her and fell into deep thought.

These people were all human powerhouses who had come from various places to provide support.

The weakest among them were all in the Flying Heaven Realm.

It could be said that most of the human race's fighting strength was gathered here.

The strange thing was that since their arrival, they had never seen the Yan Emperor appear.

Only the elders of Yan Country had come forward to receive them.

And now, they were trapped in an ambush set by other races in the imperial palace.

A an ominous premonition vaguely formed in the Ice Emperor's heart.

Just then, a terrifying flame suddenly attacked the Ice Emperor without any warning.

Seeing this, the Ice Emperor dared not be careless.

She extended the long sword in her hand and released an ice wall towards the flame.

The terrifying flame crashed against the ice wall, making sizzling sounds.

For a moment, it was blocked by the ice wall.

Seeing this, the Ice Emperor did not show any joy on her face.

She knew deeply that this was just a casual strike from an Asura Clan Great Emperor.

If he were to launch a full-force sneak attack, the Ice Emperor couldn't guarantee she could block it every time.

Moreover, they still had a Great Emperor of the Giant Race who had not yet acted.

On the human side, only she, a single Great Emperor, was struggling to hold on.

Not only had the Yan Emperor never shown his face,

even the Taixu Sect, which had always prided itself as the greatest sect in the world, had not sent anyone to support them.

The current situation was very unfavorable for them.

Evidently, not a few people had noticed this.

Many people in the field had already shown expressions of despair.

Seeing this, the Ice Emperor had no choice but to feign composure.

She channeled her spiritual power and encouraged everyone: "Everyone, listen! Hold on a little longer; the people from the Taixu Sect are almost here."

Upon hearing this, regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone immediately felt a glimmer of hope.

A burly man in black in the field echoed, "That's right, everyone, resist with all your might. Someone will definitely come to save us."

When he said this, his confidence was clearly a bit lacking.

But only by doing so could he stir up everyone's will to survive.

He couldn't help but look at the Ice Emperor.

He secretly thought, "As long as the Ice Emperor is here, they still have hope."

However, just at this moment, a black phantom image, without any warning, pierced through his chest.

The phantom image flashed and then returned, piercing through his head again.

The burly man in black, with an expression of disbelief on his face, crashed heavily to the ground.

The continuous attacks of the black phantom image were as swift as lightning.

After killing the burly man in black, the phantom image flashed again and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, everyone looked around with tense expressions.

Just then, a huge figure suddenly appeared outside the array.

His body was over ten meters tall, and his massive physique appeared like a small mountain to everyone.

The arrival of the giant undoubtedly brought immense pressure to everyone.

The black phantom image from before also appeared in the giant's hand.

It was a black conical weapon.

Evidently, it was he who had just killed the burly man in black.
