Seeing the scene before him, Liu Ruyan was also relieved. As long as Beicheng was fine, it didn't matter. If Beicheng were to have an accident, even if he intervened personally, he might not be able to do much.
As time went by, everyone's expressions grew solemn. The strength of the 8,000 black armored guards was extraordinary, and in the blink of an eye, they had already made the Dragon Slaying Hall unable to cope.
"You are already at your wit's end. Surrender quickly, and perhaps you can preserve a sliver of life!"
Beicheng said coldly, exuding an aura of indifference. His expression was aloof, as if these people were insignificant in his eyes, or that they had no power to resist in the face of true magical artifacts.
"I really didn't expect you brat to have such strength!" The people from the Dragon Slaying Hall spoke, adding coldly, "However, behind our Dragon Slaying Hall are countless experts. If you dare to disrespect the Dragon Slaying Hall, you will surely be asking for death!"
"The Dragon Slaying Hall is about to be destroyed, yet you dare to speak like this. I truly don't know where you get your confidence from!"
The corners of Beicheng's mouth curved slightly, his expression growing even colder, as if in his eyes, everything had already been decided.
However, faced with these words, the people from the Nine Dragon Hall burst into laughter, "Your boldness is quite something, brat. To dare to say such things truly leaves me in awe. However, what is happening today is definitely not as simple as you think!"
"Too much nonsense!"
Beicheng's palm surged with spiritual energy, carrying a powerful momentum, as if in his eyes, he had never taken the people of the Dragon Slaying Hall seriously.
Boom...
In that instant, the people from the Dragon Slaying Hall retreated violently, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths. They had not expected things to turn out this way, leaving them somewhat caught off guard.
"Your Highness is mighty!"
The eight thousand black armored guards exclaimed in unison, smiles on their faces. They had not expected the people from the Dragon Slaying Hall to be so vulnerable, deeming them utterly insignificant.
However, as everyone spoke, a figure in black suddenly appeared, exuding a sharp aura. His gaze fell upon Beicheng, a cold smile on his lips, "You are truly audacious! How dare you act so presumptuously here in the Nine Dragon Hall!"
"Who are you?" Beicheng the Crown Prince asked, his brow furrowing slightly. For some reason, he sensed an aura from the capital emanating from this man. Under normal circumstances, people from the capital should not be here.
"This Dragon Slaying Hall is something I control. Now that you dare to come and destroy the Dragon Slaying Hall, I will ensure you never return!" The man in black sneered, his eyes glinting with coldness, as if Crown Prince Beicheng was already a dead man in his eyes.
At the same time, Beicheng took a few steps back. He could clearly feel that this aura was unusual, and if he were careless, he might perish here.
"You are no match for me. If you insist on confronting me, it will certainly not be good for you!" The man in black sneered, "I advise you to leave now. Perhaps I won't lay a hand on you. Otherwise, I will show no mercy!"
"What a joke! I am Crown Prince Beicheng, how can I be controlled by you!"
Beicheng revealed a smile, showing no hesitation. Although he could clearly sense that this man in black was extraordinary, possibly even superior to him in strength, as Crown Prince Beicheng, he would naturally not surrender easily.
At the same time, the man in black burst into laughter, a coldness radiating from him. He walked step by step towards Crown Prince Beicheng, "Since you say so, then you are forcing me to be ruthless!"
Crown Prince Beicheng did not say much more. Spiritual energy surged in his hand, and he moved directly towards the man in black. Since he had made his decision, he would never retreat. After all, he was a prince of the Heavenly Court Dynasty, and he would not be looked down upon so easily.
Boom...
A great collision sound echoed, and Crown Prince Beicheng was violently flung backward, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. He had never imagined that the man in black would be so powerful, so powerful that even he had to be wary.
"I told you that you are no match for me!" The man in black sneered. "I originally intended to spare your life, but it seems unnecessary now. Since you court death, I will send you to the afterlife!"
Faced with these words, Beicheng's expression turned grim. However, at this moment, over a dozen black armored guards stepped forward, intending to protect Beicheng, but they were all forcefully sent flying by the man in black, proving to be no match for him at all.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. She could clearly feel that the man in black's strength was immense, and if he were to truly act, Beicheng would likely have no escape today.
The members of the Dragon Slaying Hall, upon seeing this scene, immediately showed joy. As long as Beicheng was dealt with, the 8,000 black armored guards would amount to nothing.
And in that instant, a terrifying aura surged forth, appearing to be turbulent like waves.
The man in black struck first, targeting Beicheng's vital points. Once he made a move, he would not stop. Now that Beicheng was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and insisted on provoking him, he would never back down.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan did not dare to delay. She rushed forward, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy towards the man in black. She knew very well that if she did not act now, Crown Prince Beicheng's life would be forfeit.
Boom...
Another immense sound rang out, and the man in black was forced back several steps. Upon clearly seeing the newcomer, he narrowed his eyes, "Little girl, who are you? It's best you don't meddle in this, or I'll scatter your soul!"
Liu Ruyan smiled faintly, "If you truly have the ability, then come at me. He is the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Court. If anything happens to him, our Northwest region cannot bear the responsibility!"
"Little girl, are you determined to oppose me?" The man in black's voice sounded again, his eyes filled with a cold glint. Even he hadn't expected an unexpected challenger to appear.
"No one can stop what I intend to do. Moreover, our King of the Northwest specifically instructed me to protect Crown Prince Beicheng's safety!" Liu Ruyan smiled faintly and quickly transmitted a message to Beicheng, "I am no match for him. You should leave quickly, or you might die here!"
"If I leave, what about you!" Beicheng's brows furrowed.
"His target is you, he won't do anything to me. If you don't leave, I'm afraid we will both die here!" Liu Ruyan's expression was solemn, even somewhat grave.
"Since that is the case, you must be very careful!" Crown Prince Beichen nodded. At this point, he could only retreat first. After all, the man in black's strength was superior to his, and if he stayed any longer, he might perish here. In that case, others would likely suffer as well.
Seeing Crown Prince Beichen leave, the man in black's eyes instantly became sharp.
