"Hurry! Let's go!"

Seeing this, Wang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and then grabbed Wang Tianhua tightly with her other hand.

"We must get out of this cramped cell immediately; staying here will only lead to our deaths!"

The girl's death did not stir the slightest ripple in her heart. In her eyes, they were just a group of NPCs, it didn't matter, it didn't matter at all.

However, Wang Tianhua seemed to be rooted to the spot, and no matter how hard Wang Rong tried, he did not move.

"What are you still looking at?!"

Wang Rong panicked!

Wang Tianhua didn't speak. He raised his head, a cold glint in his eyes, and stared intently at the female supervisor who was enjoying her meal.

The one being crunched and chewed into minced meat was none other than the girl who sacrificed herself to save him.

"You... you son of a bitch!"

A surge of anger welled up inside him!

Someone sacrificed their life to save him!

They paid the ultimate price to save him!

How could he remain unmoved!

He knew he was completely powerless!

But he couldn't accept doing nothing!

Anger is foolish.

But his anger at least proves that he is still a man of courage!

"I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing!"

Roaring, Wang Tianhua grabbed a wooden stick from beside him and slammed it down hard on the female supervisor.

However, the next second...

Bang!

He was mercilessly kicked away by a foot!

"Don't get in my way..."

It is Lu Xingyuan.

He attacked.

The tree branch in his hand was like the sharpest blade in the world, and he slashed it down fiercely at the female supervisor.

Watching this scene, Wang Tianhua felt he had never supported Lu Xingyuan as much as he did now.

You fucking win for me!

Don't get all worked up when you bully me, but become powerless when you bully others!

Pfft!

Fresh, foul-smelling blood gushed out; the wound was large, and the female supervisor let out a piercing scream.

This attack clearly caused her considerable damage.

But Lu Xingyuan was very disappointed.

He was aiming for a vital spot, but the female supervisor, now fully transformed into a beast, had a defense far more exaggerated than he had imagined, and he didn't have a suitable weapon—the tree branch snapped with a crack after he unleashed the attack.

boom!

In a fit of extreme rage, the female supervisor slapped Lu Xingyuan so hard that he flew away.

Wang Tianhua's heart sank to the bottom.

Even Lu Xingyuan is no match for her?

too.

After all, they can't even unleash one percent of their full strength right now.

Lu Xingyuan's achievement is already quite remarkable.

"Walk!"

Wang Rong urged.

Wang Tianhua hesitated for a moment before finally making his choice.

Staying here would only be a pointless death.

The right choice is to find a way to escape this place, reunite with Jessica and the others, and reclaim the power that originally belonged to us.

Once I regain my own power, I will have the means to avenge them... I must avenge them, otherwise, wouldn't I be betraying their trust?

A determined light shone in Wang Tianhua's eyes.

The image of the girl sacrificing herself to save him played on repeat in the depths of his mind like a slideshow, each replay deeply stimulating his heart.

He's a human being, not an animal; how could he remain unmoved!

But their only way out was also ruthlessly blocked.

They hurried up the stairs to climb up, but before they could push the door open, it opened from the outside in.

They are the Imperial Guards!

The Imperial Guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

Each of them was tall and strong, clad in armor, and wielding a sharp blade. They were imposing and awe-inspiring, resembling demons in the candlelight, inspiring fear.

The first one to rush to the front was none other than Xiao Yun!

Upon seeing this, the joy on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of terror.

"No……"

Before she could even say anything, the Imperial Guard's large hand ruthlessly grabbed her head and slammed her violently into the crowd!

Wang Rong and the others behind her were all sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Wang Rong, who hurriedly got up from the ground, was frantic.

Despite enduring excruciating internal pain, Wang Tianhua's heart sank to the bottom.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, where can we retreat to?

He even swore he would avenge the girl; he's a complete joke!

The Imperial Guards closed in step by step, trapping them back in the underground prison.

The taller general at the head of the group wore a playful expression.

Are you waiting for her?

That is……

Wang Tianhua's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jessica's sister!

She was being held in the other person's hand at that moment, with blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth.

What she was holding tightly in her arms were glowing magic orbs.

Wang Tianhua sensed a familiar aura emanating from one of the tokens; it was his own power. If he obtained it, he could immediately revert to his powerful and invincible self.

but……

Wang Tianhua swallowed hard. The spear tips of the Imperial Guards' spears gleamed coldly, constantly reminding him that although the place was less than five steps away, it was a chasm he could never cross!

If he dares to try, he will surely die!

Wang Rong and the others dared not make any rash moves and could only watch helplessly.

Jessica's sister struggled to open her swollen, red eyes, a bitter smile appearing on her face, her voice weak and feeble:

"Well... it seems I wasn't able to do that."

Wang Rong and the others remained silent.

Whether it was the visible wounds on the little girl's body, the glaring bloodstains, or her near-death state, it all proved that they had really tried their best.

However, the city lord's mansion is not easy to break into, so being able to do this much is already extremely remarkable.

But just then, a hoarse and vicious voice rang out:

How dare you say such a thing?!

"If it weren't for your incompetence, we wouldn't be in this predicament!"

But then they saw Xiao Yun at the very back of the crowd, staring intently at the little girl with an incredibly venomous gaze.

Is he deliberately saying things like "I tried my best" in order to get her forgiveness?

impossible!

She will never forgive!

After all, the most painful thing is to lose when you are only one step away from victory!

You might as well just give up and fail from the start; at least that would be less frustrating.

Wang Rong stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at Xiao Yun in disbelief.

This person's wickedness is even greater than mine?

The little girl, already suffering from both physical and mental torment, burst into tears upon hearing these words.

She apologized in a hoarse voice.

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

But they really did their best.

She still remembers the scene where her brother deliberately exposed himself to draw away the pursuers, and his neck was snapped. His last words were:

"Don't worry about me! You all go back now! We said we'd do it, so we have to do it!"

Although they ultimately failed, can we say they didn't try their best?

Why... why can't I even get a single word of recognition? Instead, I get complaints and curses...

Just then, a warm and powerful voice entered her ears, like a ray of sunshine illuminating her heart.

"It's alright, you've done more than enough. Leave the rest to us."

Lu Xingyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and a golden flame flickered in his originally dark eyes.
