Slaughter Time! Golden Stamens Flowing Rosy Clouds!

The thunder dragon was wreathed in a tyrannical, destructive aura. Wherever it passed, even the air let out a mournful wail under the unbearable strain!

Its target was neither the prison carriage nor the Spirit Hall knights.

It was the group of unarmed civilians who had just vented their anger!

This strike came with overwhelming momentum, fast beyond measure!

If it truly hit, these dozens of people would instantly be reduced to charred corpses, not even leaving behind a single intact body!

"Not good!"

At that critical moment!

The captain and vice-captain, who had just been "dead drunk," suddenly erupted with two terrifying glints in their eyes!

Where was there even the slightest trace of drunkenness left?!

The two moved like lightning, instantly placing themselves before the civilians as they shouted in unison!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Mystic Turtle Barrier!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Vajra Shield!"

Two incomparably heavy defensive soul skills instantly took shape, forming an enormous shield of light!

BOOM—!!!!

The thunder dragon crashed viciously into the light shield, unleashing a deafening explosion!

A terrifying energy shockwave swept in every direction, flattening whole stretches of surrounding trees!

"Pfft!"

The captain and vice-captain both spat out blood. Their bodies were driven back again and again by the immense force, their faces turning deathly pale.

Even working together, the two of them had only barely blocked this attack!

Behind them, the hundred knights had already ended their "vacation" state. They instantly formed a battle formation, firmly protecting the civilians in the center!

"Who are you?! How dare you ambush a Spirit Hall convoy?!" The captain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze grave as water as he shouted sharply.

As soon as his words fell.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Several dozen black figures flashed out from the forested mountainside
