The officials had all fled.
A group of guards shivered...
"What do you want?"
A military officer shouted at Ye Zixiao.
"Where is your king?"
Ye Zixiao stepped forward, carrying a dripping knife.
"I ask you, what do you want?"
"I ask, where is the king?"
Ye Zixiao's eyes turned fierce.
The officer, holding his pistol, glared fiercely at Ye Zixiao and took a few steps forward menacingly, staring intently into Ye Zixiao's eyes. The two locked gazes.
Three seconds later.
The guards began to shout.
"Lay down your weapons."
"You two, hands up."
"Damn it, did you hear me?"
"Sir, order an attack!"
A large group of guards yelled with imposing authority.
"The king is on the fifth floor!"
The officer suddenly blurted out, then slowly lowered his head, dropped his pistol, and said nervously, "It has nothing to do with me, I'm just an employee, you go upstairs and kill the king!"
"Ah?"
Ye Zixiao was dumbfounded.
"That's it?"
Tang Keke also found it ridiculous.
This was supposed to be the king's personal guard! A king of a nation, his guards shouldn't all be ready to die bravely, but they shouldn't lead the charge in surrendering before the fight even began!
Yes!
This was the Witch King's guard.
The Witch King was a tyrant, even a notorious bastard. This scoundrel was not only cruel to his people but also hateful and vicious towards his own guards.
He would hit them whenever he felt like it.
He would shoot and kill them on a whim.
Over time, the Witch King had very few loyal guards. Most of them hated him to their core. If it weren't for the king's "Thirteen Protectors," the guards would likely have rebelled themselves.
Today.
Two masters from the Dragon Country had suddenly arrived.
These two masters who descended from the sky first caused the notorious Mountain Cat to fall to his death, and then, with just two people, they dared to break into the royal palace! This act shocked even the personal guards.
Because these two Dragon Country masters were doing what all the personal guards wanted to do but dared not.
The guards outside were unlucky.
Many of them died before they thought to flee.
The guards inside the royal palace were much smarter. They watched everything happening outside through the windows, and each of them knew clearly that they couldn't stop those two from the Dragon Country.
Since they couldn't stop them.
Then so be it!
To die for that damned king?
Only a fool would do that!
Therefore, the officer took the lead, pretended to be imposing towards Ye Zixiao, and after feigning loyalty to the king, before Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke could react, the personal guards dispersed.
"He's on the fifth floor!"
"There's a hot spring on the fifth floor."
"Be careful!"
"He has many experts around him."
Some guards whispered reminders.
Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke exchanged glances. Although they were still confused, they nodded in unison because they felt that these guards were not trying to trap them.
Many guards spoke through gritted teeth.
They harbored hatred, but it was not directed at them.
Moreover, even if it was a trap, they had to go up. They had already fought their way into the royal palace, and the guards were letting them pass. If they turned back now, they would be utterly disgraced.
"Let's go."
Ye Zixiao turned and headed upstairs.
"They said there are experts."
Tang Keke followed behind, holding her knife.
"I've seen plenty of experts. No matter how powerful they are, those who want to kill me are all dead. Damn it, I wish there were experts upstairs, preferably at your level."
Ye Zixiao's tone was dismissive.
"Why?"
Tang Keke asked with some concern.
"Killing a God King would be so cool!"
"Cool?"
"Very cool!"
"Heh, I am a God King."
"Yes, that's why you don't understand."
As Ye Zixiao spoke, he reached the second floor. The luxuriously decorated second floor was like an entertainment center. Many staff members were crouched in corners, trembling and not daring to look up.
Ye Zixiao ignored the staff.
The two quickly ascended to the third floor.
The third floor was full of officials.
The fourth floor was also full of officials.
Ye Zixiao was not in the mood to kill these detestable officials now. He just wanted to quickly deal with the Witch King, resolve his anger first, and preferably, find out information about the Heavenly God Association.
As soon as they reached the fifth floor,
They were stunned by the scenery on the fifth floor! The fifth floor of the massive royal palace was full of greenery, with all sorts of precious flowers and plants, designed like a sky garden. In the most prominent spot was a huge pool.
The pool was steaming.
It was clearly hot spring water.
The sky garden, shrouded in steam, looked ethereal. A scrawny old man was soaking in the hot spring, holding a wine glass in his left hand and reaching into the water with his right.
Beside him, in the water.
There was a girl with a flushed face...
"You've come?!"
The scrawny old man asked calmly.
"You, you are the Witch King?"
Ye Zixiao walked forward in surprise.
He had never met the Witch King, but in his mind, anyone who could join the Heavenly God Association would surely be a strong man, or at least a robust old man.
But now.
The old man in the water looked like he was about to die!
"That's right, I am the King."
The Witch King raised his head tremblingly.
His eyes were like two black holes, his skin was covered in dense wrinkles, and his neck exposed terrifying veins and arteries. In short, he looked nothing like a normal person.
"As expected of a king, so calm!"
Ye Zixiao said, walking to the opposite side of the hot spring.
"You're called Ye Zixiao, aren't you?"
The scrawny king curled his lips, sizing up Ye Zixiao from head to toe. He suddenly raised his hand, pulled the woman beside him into his embrace, and asked with a sinister grin, "Who do you think is more handsome, him or me?"
"Ah?"
The woman was stunned.
"You hesitated!"
The Witch King suddenly became angry. He violently pushed the woman's head into the water, roaring, "You hesitated, you think I'm old, damn it, women are all the same, they only like young and handsome men."
The woman struggled desperately in the water.
But she couldn't get up at all.
"Are you sick?"
Ye Zixiao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ye Zixiao, you don't understand. This King only loves two things: bathing and women. But do you know, women are unreliable? When you get old, they won't love you anymore."
The Witch King recounted like a pervert.
"You are truly sick!"
Ye Zixiao pointed at the Witch King and roared, "I don't care what illness you have, you're going to die soon. Let this woman go! It's normal that she doesn't love you, after all, you look like a ghost!"
"Am I old?"
The Witch King suddenly asked loudly.
"What do you think?"
"I'm only fifty years old, how can I be old? Impossible, impossible, you must be mistaken, I'm only fifty years old! I still have so many women I haven't loved, how can I be old?"
"Are you really mentally ill?"
Ye Zixiao really couldn't listen anymore.
"Let her go!"
Tang Keke roared from the side.
Splash!
With a burst of water, the woman whose head had been pushed into the water was lifted up by the Witch King. No one knew what the Witch King was thinking, but he actually threw the woman towards Tang Keke?!
Tang Keke instinctively caught the woman.
The poor woman almost suffocated!
"I'll spare her, you come down and keep me company."
The Witch King actually beckoned to Tang Keke.
"Is this Witch King mentally ill?"
Tang Keke looked at Ye Zixiao in great surprise.
"Heh heh, he's definitely not normal!"
Ye Zixiao didn't know what else to say.
