Chapter: Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 99 Ye Hao: Ruo Yi, I Miss You So Much
No demi-human would believe that the Lord of Eagle Territory would protect them.
Naturally, they wouldn’t believe Saintess Ruo Yi, who had already been “brainwashed” by the Lord of Eagle Territory.
“No matter what, I won’t let you take everyone away.” Ruo Yi’s eyes gradually turned cold, and she said nothing more.
She knew that at this point, any explanation would only make matters worse.
The prejudice demi-humans held against humans, their resistance to the Lord of Eagle Territory, and their current doubts about her had become an insurmountable chasm in their hearts.
The demi-human girl from Mudu Winter Town scoffed at this, saying contemptuously, “Oh? So, the Saintess intends to forcibly take everyone away?”
“No wonder you brought so many human soldiers, how imposing. You actually planned to capture everyone by force from the beginning, didn’t you?”
“I wonder what your relationship with the Lord of Eagle Territory is? Tch tch…”
At this point, her eyes turned cold, she paused, and then softly uttered four words that made Ruo Yi tremble all over: “You are so hypocritical.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let you see the power that Lady Anna bestowed upon us.” With that, the two demi-human girls exchanged a glance, took out a red pill from their pockets, and swallowed it.
This was a drug recently developed by the Holy See through extensive human experimentation. It could activate the bloodline power of demi-humans for a short period, at the cost of overdrawing their life force.
The pathetic demi-human girls actually believed this was a gift from Eve.
A faint red light flashed in their eyes, and their entire auras became violent. This drug activated bloodline power in a crude and superficial way, only increasing strength and speed.
However, they believed this was enough.
Before them was merely a Saintess who couldn’t even lift a chicken.
Since she could bring human soldiers, it meant she held a relatively important position in the eyes of the Lord of Eagle Territory.
Therefore, capturing her first and then using her as a hostage to take the other demi-humans away would complete Lady Anna’s mission.
“For Lady Anna’s great cause! For the glory of the demi-human race!”
The two demi-human girls fervently expressed their worship for Anna, then charged at Ruo Yi, one after the other.
However, a flash of light appeared.
Accompanied by a “hiss,” a dazzling sword light flashed.
The light reformed behind them, and Ruo Yi held a long sword made of golden light particles, its tip pointing to the ground, unstained by blood.
Behind her, the two demi-human girls remained in their charging posture, their faces still fervent and frenzied.
As they charged, they found their vision gradually rising, followed by a dizzying spin, ending in darkness.
They had been beheaded by Ruo Yi’s sword.
Blood began to spurt belatedly from their smoothly severed necks, gradually flowing to Ruo Yi’s Knight Boots.
The astonished and horrified expressions of the demi-humans were reflected in the bright red blood.
Ruo Yi frowned, closed her eyes, her slightly upturned pretty face pale, tears streaming down her cheeks. She choked out:
“Take… take them away…”
Clemon glanced approvingly at Ruo Yi, then waved his hand at the Crusaders behind him.
These System soldiers would not be polite to the demi-humans.
They were extremely efficient in their actions, immediately pouncing on the demi-humans like wolves and tigers.
Amidst the terrified cries of the demi-humans, they were bound, their hands twisted behind their backs.
“Saintess, wake up!”
“We don’t want to be captured by the Lord of Eagle Territory… Woo woo woo…”
“Saintess sister…”
Ruo Yi stood there alone, motionless, her slender shadow trailing behind her, never speaking.
Just as the demi-humans were being pushed into carriages by the System soldiers to be taken away, a resounding voice full of righteous indignation echoed from Dawn Town:
“Today, none of you will take anyone away. These demi-humans are my people, Ye Hao’s people!”
“Dare to touch my people, have you considered what the price will be?”
Ye Hao calmly appeared around the corner at the entrance of Dawn Town. He had a stern expression and was filled with righteous indignation, holding a black long sword stained with demonic energy.
Shea had only left for less than half an hour.
Ye Hao was still immersed in his Sage Mode when he suddenly heard the commotion at the entrance of Dawn Town and came out to see that the Lord of Eagle Territory’s army was about to take the demi-humans away.
Wasn’t this putting him on the spot? He had just made a deal with the demons, and now they were undermining him.
Could he endure this?
His grudge from being chased for more than a dozen kilometers by the Old Knight due to his unstable demonic energy hadn’t been settled yet. Now that his strength had stabilized, coupled with the Demon Sword in his hand, he was determined to hang that old incorrigible’s head on the Town Mayor’s Residence as a trophy.
However, the most important matter now was to catch up with the girl he had been longing for.
Ye Hao walked up to Ruo Yi, his face full of deep affection and sincerity. He looked at Ruo Yi with concern and said gently:
“Ruo Yi, I miss you so much. Are you… are you alright?”
“Do you know how worried I’ve been about you all these days?”
“I led the Heroic Spirits to save you, but that Lord of Eagle Territory was despicable and shameless, using underhanded tactics to repeatedly slaughter the Heroic Spirits…”
“Ye Hao.”
Ruo Yi suddenly opened her eyes, her blue-gold eyes flashing with a cold glint that seemed to freeze the air. She said coldly:
“What did you just say?”
“I… I just said I miss you?” Ye Hao was stunned by Ruo Yi’s gaze and replied blankly.
“Not that.”
“Then… I said I was worried about you.”
“No.”
“I led the Heroic Spirits to save you, the Lord of Eagle Territory was despicable and shameless…” Ye Hao didn’t continue. Because Ruo Yi’s eyes were now filled with frenzied killing intent.
A swift flash of light appeared, and Ye Hao’s mind sounded an alarm. He sensed danger and immediately raised his sword to block based on his instincts.
With a “clang,” a long sword made of golden light struck his Demon Sword, and Ruo Yi’s figure gradually materialized in a mist of light.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth; performing the technique twice had already caused her body to ache faintly.
But this pain could not extinguish the anger and killing intent in her eyes.
Her man would not allow himself to be so humiliated, even if this person was her friend before, he deserved a lesson.
With a “hiss” of a sword’s hum, Ruo Yi’s figure once again turned into a wisp of light and disappeared. A few drops of blood drifted from her ears and fell to the ground.
This time, her speed was three parts faster, making it difficult for Ye Hao to track her in his haste. The golden long sword, with a resolute will, pierced his shoulder.
“This is the first time. If I ever hear you speak disrespectfully of him again,”
Ruo Yi paused, looked down at Ye Hao with cold eyes, and said word by word:
“I WILL KILL YOU.”
