Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 284 - 186: Spotlight! (Third Update)

Zuo Xiaoluo, like those combat puppets, was dumbfounded.

She heard the Empress had a decree and thought it was an order for her to quell the rebellion quickly.

On her way here, Zuo Xiaoluo had already planned the suppression, just waiting to resolve the crisis in the Imperial City before leading the troops to slaughter the rebels.

Unexpectedly, the Empress’s decree was about trivial domestic matters.

It seemed the rampant rebellion in the city wasn’t considered at all.

For a moment, Zuo Xiaoluo’s emotions were inconsistent.

Before she could react, a dog’s bark suddenly echoed in the void:

"Woof!"

Zuo Xiaoluo snapped back to reality, pulled out the iron kitchen knife from behind her, and warily looked in the direction where the barking came from.

In that direction, she sensed the presence of hundreds of demonic beasts.

At the Northern Border, she had killed countless demonic beasts colluding with the Barbarian Race, and she could recognize their foul stench even with her eyes closed.

"Daring to collude with demonic beasts, utterly unforgivable!"

Killing intent surged in Zuo Xiaoluo’s eyes, and the ordinary iron kitchen knife in her hand seemed to resonate with her anger, emitting a deep buzzing sound.

As if a giant beast from the abyss was about to awaken.

"Meow..."

In the void, Black Stripe stood proudly atop a massive black dog’s head, his eyes full of smugness.

Suddenly, an incredibly sharp killing intent locked onto him.

Black Stripe shuddered, instantly sobered up, and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel on the black giant canine’s smooth head.

Just as Black Stripe was about to explain, he suddenly sensed another more terrifying presence approaching him.

Black Stripe shivered again and instantly lay down.

"Awoo (it’s me), Awoo (don’t kill me)..."

Zuo Xiaoluo couldn’t understand dog barks but recognized it was Black Stripe’s voice.

Black Stripe was the most famous auspicious symbol in Shengjing City, very prominent at the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

When Zuo Xiaoluo was at the Crown Prince’s Mansion, she had encountered Black Stripe a few times and was familiar with his voice.

"Black Stripe?"

Zuo Xiaoluo curiously put away the knife, then reached out and grabbed Black Stripe from the void.

Holding Black Stripe by the neck, she confirmed it was indeed Zhao Yi’s auspicious symbol before retracting the knife and tossing Black Stripe to the ground, then looked pensive as she saw the massive demonic beasts following Black Stripe emerging from the void.

"Did you bring these beasts as reinforcements?" Zuo Xiaoluo asked.

Black Stripe couldn’t speak but could understand human speech.

Hearing Zuo Xiaoluo’s question, he first glanced fearfully at the knife behind her, then nodded vigorously, barking loudly.

Black Stripe’s emotions were very agitated, looking extremely excited.

As he explained, his voice grew louder, clearly indicating how much the previous events had impacted him.

But Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t understand a word.

"Stop barking!"

Zuo Xiaoluo raised a hand to stop Black Stripe, pointing to the distant combat puppets: "Whatever the matter is, wait for the Crown Prince to return and then talk. For now, let them get to work!"

Zuo Xiaoluo was referring to the demonic beast puppets behind Black Stripe.

Zuo Xiaoluo’s keen eye immediately recognized these weren’t real demonic beasts but puppets refined using a special secret technique.

These demonic beasts included many species, some even Zuo Xiaoluo had not seen before, yet all had been refined into puppets.

In the world, only the Great Xia Zhao Clan’s royal family had the capability to achieve such a feat.

Therefore, although Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t know where Black Stripe found these puppets or why they obeyed orders, as long as they were usable and effective, that was all that mattered.

This is also a crucial quality of an excellent commander.

Not sticking to form.

As long as the desired outcome is achieved, anything can be used for one’s purpose.

Black Stripe was terrified of Zuo Xiaoluo.

Upon hearing her order, he shuddered and stood up, barking twice at Zuo Xiaoluo before quickly scurrying up the black giant canine’s head.

"Woof woof!"

Standing on the black dog’s head, Black Stripe puffed up proudly, like an invincible Grand General.

The giant black dog, hearing Black Stripe’s bark, turned its massive body nimbly around, and with heavy steps headed towards the combat puppets trapped in the array.

The other demonic beasts followed suit, trailing behind the giant canine.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Xiaoluo’s mouth twitched slightly.

She was about to remind Black Stripe, but the giant black dog had already plunged headfirst into the array.

Then, Black Stripe was directly flattened into a pancake.

If it weren’t for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Zuo Xiaoluo might have suspected he was crushed to death.

Soon, hundreds of demonic beast puppets emerged from the void and entered the battlefield.

The battle immediately showed a one-sided disparity.

Though also puppets, demonic beasts were far more terrifying than those human combat puppets.

At this moment, the vulnerability of humanity in the Cultivation Realm was starkly evident.

Without Spiritual Power True Essence, without Magical Artifacts, even a Tier Nine Saint King Realm expert is mere fodder against a demonic beast of the same level.

Miaoyin stood at the center of the city wall, observing the demonic beast puppets as they gobbled up the combat puppets like eating beans, her complexion turned profoundly conflicted.

The psychological impact of this scene on everyone was far more shocking than Zhao Yi casually wiping out all undead skeletons.

On either side of Miaoyin, the cultivators from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court bore solemn expressions.

Watching the combat puppets being devoured by the demonic beasts, instead of lamenting their fate, their expressions grew grave, eyes brimming with killing intent.

Humanity was too fragile.

To survive in the Cultivation Realm, humanity must kill all demonic beasts!

Zuo Xiaoluo stood in the plaza, noticing the expressions of the cultivators on the distant city wall, nodding subtly.

She had always looked down on the people from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court, feeling that although their cultivation was not weak, they lacked the bloodthirstiness of warriors, far inferior to her Armor-Breaking Army, and were utterly unreliable.

Now, seeing those cultivators harbor murderous intent, Zuo Xiaoluo nodded in satisfaction.

That’s how it should be!

As the most famous violent organizations in Great Xia, Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court must dare to kill.

Not only kill but kill on a large scale.

Demonic beasts, like the Barbarian Race, can only be killed in numbers, there’s no killing wrong!

Perhaps sensing the icy killing intent emanating from Zuo Xiaoluo, the flattened Black Stripe atop the giant black dog twitched slightly.

Just then, there was another ripple in the void.

The protagonist, clad in a moon-white monk robe, strode out from the Dragon Domain.

This time, instead of striking a pose like before, he immediately gazed in the direction of the Imperial City.

Seeing hundreds of demonic beasts trapped within the array, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, I caught up!!"
