Brother! They slaughtered my fellow Daxia people!

There was nothing he could do.

After Zhao Hao felt it was about time, he casually plucked some unknown grass and quickly took care of business.

Then he pulled up his pants and hid to the side.

He was observing the fighting parties, trying to figure out their formations.

After a short detour of a few meters, he hid behind a man-high patch of grass, observing the battle through the gaps.

He saw two figures being besieged by thirty to forty people, a truly perilous situation.

The two besieged individuals surprisingly had Xia Country faces, while their attackers had typical Western faces.

Zhao Hao continued to carefully observe the situation.

He actually recognized one of the two Xia Country people!

Lin Shu!

The other was a young girl, holding a longbow, looking heroic and agile.

He didn't know her.

One old, one young; one male, one female.

They were being ambushed by thirty to forty luxuriously equipped Western experts.

He heard the young girl say:

"Uncle Lin, it seems we've fallen into an ambush. There are thirty to forty of them, all top-tier level 100 experts, with many control mages. This time, I'm afraid..."

Lin Shu's face was grim:

"Niece Zuo Yue, I've watched you grow up since you were little. Your potential is immense; you mustn't die so easily. Coupled with my relationship with your father, I will definitely fight with my life to protect you!

You escape first, I'll hold them back!"

"But Uncle Lin, you are a Xia Country Guardian and have an important mission. What if something happens to you..."

Lin Shu gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"Xia Country Guardian? From now on, I no longer am. My purpose in coming out this time was to fulfill a promise."

After he finished speaking,

he suddenly swung the long spear in his hand, and for a moment, it shone brightly, dazzlingly.

He seemed ready to fight these thirty to forty people to the death!

The battle situation was extremely tense!

Zhao Hao then realized that the young girl's name was Zuo Yue.

He looked at the many enemies surrounding the two of them and couldn't help but worry for Lin Shu and Zuo Yue.

Although he should harbor animosity towards Lin Shu, with an external enemy present, he felt he couldn't stand by and watch foreign enemies bully his fellow Xia Country citizens.

But he also knew that he was just a noob right now.

He couldn't do anything.

Therefore,

he immediately flew in the direction Li Xunle had disappeared, riding his sword. In this situation, he could only seek out Li Xunle.

However,

he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his butt... undoubtedly, that grass was problematic.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Zuo Yue's movements were incredibly agile, and her extremely flashy footwork made her look like a lithe cat.

She weaved through the battlefield.

She constantly dodged attacks and looked for suitable opportunities to attack the enemy.

If it weren't for the level difference, she might have been able to kite these attackers to death one by one.

She was currently only level 82.

Her attack power, even with two percent true damage, was really not high enough or fast enough against level 100 experts.

Although she could wipe out a team of a few people, the prerequisite was a team without much crowd control.

Once various crowd control skills appeared, her situation would become very dangerous.

However,

she was still thinking.

She found what Lin Shu had just said very strange.

He was no longer a Xia Country Guardian?

What did that mean? Who decided that?

Before she came out to train, she had never heard her father mention it.

One must know that her father was the leader of the Xia Country Guardians—Zuo Jiutian.

He was also the head of Supergod Academy.

If there were any changes to the Xia Country Guardian's status, he would definitely have news and wouldn't hide it from her.

But she hadn't heard her father mention it, why was that?

Could it be something that happened recently?

Lin Shu had only met Zuo Yue half a day ago.

Therefore,

he hadn't told Zuo Yue about the Lin family losing over a hundred experts.

There wasn't time, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

At this moment,

although Zuo Yue was very confused, her focus was entirely on the battle.

Her nimble figure was very light, agile and graceful, like a startled swan, or a swimming dragon.

As for Lin Shu,

as a Xia Country Guardian, he had already experienced countless battles and faced life and death, his spear techniques reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

What he was most proud of was his S-rank talent skill—the Six Harmonies Eight Desolations Spear Art.

The spear art was grand and sweeping, covering the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations!

Once unleashed, within a three-meter radius, it was invincible and incredibly powerful.

Almost no one could stand against it!

But its weakness was obvious: it feared crowd control skills and kiting tactics.

Even more critically, the opponents he faced this time had nearly ten mages with various crowd control skills.

They were thoroughly protected.

Although Zuo Yue was a ranged attacker, she couldn't do anything to the opponents.

Firstly, her power wasn't great enough.

Secondly, even if she aimed at the enemy mages, someone would voluntarily block the damage for them.

After all,

they were only two people and had no assassins.

It was difficult to take out the enemy's backline, which led to a very troublesome situation.

That is, the mages could freely cast control or attack skills.

This caused Lin Shu, who was strong in frontal combat, to be kited, and made Zuo Yue's positioning, which required space, extremely precarious.

Both of them fought with great frustration.

Eventually,

Zuo Yue was stunned!

She froze in place for two seconds.

During these two seconds, six arrows and three magic attacks flew towards Zuo Yue.

If they truly landed on Zuo Yue,

she would undoubtedly die!

Zuo Yue's face changed drastically, and she thought to herself: It's over!

She had already closed her eyes, preparing to welcome death.

She regretted it!

If she could do it again, she definitely wouldn't have looked for the entrance to the Heaven's Punishment Secret Realm at this time.

Although she roughly knew that enemies might be lurking near the entrance and exit of the Heaven's Punishment Secret Realm.

However,

she truly hadn't expected there to be thirty or forty Adventurers from enemy nations lying in wait.

And all of them were level 100 experts.

"Uncle Lin, good luck!" Zuo Yue muttered.

At this moment,

Lin Shu also discovered Zuo Yue's crisis. His face changed dramatically, and he immediately leaped up.

He plunged his long spear into the mud, and he himself hovered in the air for several seconds, extremely gracefully.

Pfft!

Pfft!

…Those arrows and magic attacks aimed at Zuo Yue were all blocked by him!

Zuo Yue thus gained two seconds of breathing room.

She heard the unusual sound and immediately opened her eyes, only to find... Lin Shu had been hit by several arrows, and some parts of his body were scorched, clearly hit by fire magic.

Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his health plummeted to the bottom!

He opened his mouth, revealing blood-stained teeth, and said:

"Zuo... Yue, quick... run!"

Seeing Lin Shu die because of her, Zuo Yue's mind went blank.

Impossible!

Impossible!

He, Lin Shu, a Xia Country Guardian, how could he end this way... This didn't seem like the Uncle Lin she knew.

The Uncle Lin in her memory was incredibly powerful.

How could he just be gone?

However,

the enemies didn't give them time to communicate and once again launched a fierce wave of attacks towards Zuo Yue.

But,

the stunned Zuo Yue hardly realized the seriousness of the problem, still caught in a huge emotional shock.

Seeing this, Lin Shu, dragging his dying body, made a desperate leap, once again blocking many attacks for Zuo Yue.

His body, at this moment, seemed to have been pierced by a thousand arrows.

He shouted with all his might:

"Zuo Yue! Run!!!"

His voice was like thunder, instantly jolting Zuo Yue awake!

And Lin Shu, seeing Zuo Yue react, gave a tragic smile, revealing his blood-stained teeth.

Immediately after, he collapsed heavily in front of Zuo Yue.

He was on his last breath.

His scorched body was riddled with more than a dozen arrows.

Tears welled up in Zuo Yue's eyes, and her face was as cold as frost.

She swore that if she could escape, she would definitely find an opportunity to slaughter these Adventurers from enemy nations one by one!

However,

seeing the Adventurers surrounding her, she didn't know how to break through... Despair and helplessness surged wildly in her heart.

At this moment,

a voice suddenly rang out from outside the battlefield, deafeningly:

"Big Brother! They are slaughtering our fellow Xia Country citizens!"
