Upon hearing this, both Sun Fei and Lloris raised their eyebrows simultaneously, a surge of anger erupting within them.
However, after a moment's thought, Sun Fei quickly felt relieved.
These Moon Class experts were simply misled by that arrogant disciple of the Continent Martial Saint Mountain. The more indignant they became, the more it showed that these martial artists were a group of upright people. Although they were not very bright and were easily manipulated into becoming pawns, they were definitely not wicked people.
Meanwhile, Lloris was furious.
He was already a master of the Moon Class realm, a formidable figure in the Lyon Empire. Although he was severely injured and exhausted during the recent underwater battle, it was a blessing in disguise, as he broke through the bottleneck that had been troubling him, advancing to the Lower-Stage Full Moon Class. In recent days, by the side of peerless powerhouses like King of Chambord, he had received considerable guidance, resulting in a rapid increase in his strength, making him vastly different from before. Furthermore, as the most noble prince in the Lyon Empire, his status was extremely high, and Moon Class experts were nothing in his eyes. In the past, he commanded the imperial Sea Clan army and had many Moon Class experts under his command. Now, a few mere Moon Class experts dared to be so arrogant, which instinctively enraged him.
However, he was also an extremely intelligent man. He glanced at the impassive King of Chambord and immediately understood the crux of the matter. He also considered that these people were merely being deceived, and suppressing his anger, he explained, "A bunch of fools! The one who truly betrayed Human Clan is that so-called disciple of the Continent Martial Saint Mountain, D'Alessandro. You people can't distinguish right from wrong, black from white, and you're being used without even realizing it. Hmph, if it weren't for King of Chambord's heroic intervention that day, the evil Sea Clan would have already appeared and wiped out the entire Human Clan of the Fragrant Sea Region!"
To everyone's surprise, Lloris's explanation was met with a burst of mocking laughter from the dozen or so Moon Class experts.
"How utterly shameless! Not only did you slander Lord D'Alessandro, but you even claim credit for it? What is King of Chambord anyway, capable of stopping the evil Sea Clan? Hmph, Hugo Lloris, you are a prince of the empire, receiving offerings from the people and enjoying the titles and stipends bestowed by the royal family, yet you are so heartless as to fabricate such a ridiculous lie, and even collude with this lowly creature from the Zenit Empire, Human Clan. Do you deserve the favor of His Majesty Emperor Juninho of the Empire?"
A burly man in his forties, his face full of anger, rebuked him.
"You..." Lloris could no longer suppress his anger.
"Forget it, there's no point in explaining to these idiots. Let's make a big mess first and they can talk about it later." Sun Fei reached out to stop them.
Turning his head to look at the Moon Class experts around him, Sun Fei laughed impatiently, "Just a bunch of Moon Class warriors, acting rashly and being used to die for nothing. You're incredibly stupid. Since you still have some conscience as Human Clan, I won't make things difficult for you. You are no match for me. You think you can trap me with a mere seal? If you don't want to die, get lost."
After saying that, a powerful force surged from Sun Fei's body, and he gently punched the sky.
A golden beam of light burst forth from the fist, and the pale silver magic seal shield that had enveloped all directions shattered into pieces, quickly disappearing into the void.
The several Moon Class mages, who were concealed and maintaining the magical seal barrier on all sides, received a significant backlash. They all coughed up blood, their faces pale and their spirits waning.
The surrounding Moon Class experts' expressions changed drastically, staring at Sun Fei in horror.
The [ Martial Arts Prohibition Seal ] jointly cast by eight Half Moon Class mages was so easily broken by this Human Clan traitor; there's absolutely no reason for that!
[ Martial Arts Prohibition Seal ] is a trump card against powerful warriors of the Dou Qi realm. Countless once-dominant Dou Qi experts have perished under this magical seal. Logically speaking, with the assistance of eight Half Moon Class mages and some high-quality magic stones, the [ Martial Arts Prohibition Seal ] they cast should, even if it cannot completely suppress a Great Sun-Rank Venerable, at least be enough to suppress his strength to a very low level.
According to the original plan, those involved in the siege were all equipped with magical items that granted them immunity to the sealing effect. They were supposed to swarm in and easily subdue this Human Clan scoundrel. But... how did reality turn out like this?
Although I already knew that King of Chambord was a Great Sun-Rank Venerable, this strength is still too terrifying.
For a moment, the group of confident warriors who had come to "fight the tiger" were all frozen in place, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Sun Fei waved his hand impatiently. "I told you long ago that you can't beat me. If you have nothing else to say, then hurry up and leave. I don't have time to entertain you fools. If you really can't, then use your toes to think carefully about who is lying. You're all grown men, yet you act like children, believing whoever has the highest status. Don't you think D'Alessandro can lie too?"
Sun Fei's words left the group of powerful figures both ashamed and furious.
However, people who have reached this level of strength are not fools unless they have congenital defects. Some of the more shrewd people have started to have their own thoughts.
Judging from appearances, King of Chambord doesn't seem like a truly wicked villain. If he had betrayed Human Clan and released the Sea Clan god, he could have easily wiped out his entire group today. Besides, according to D'Alessandro, the Sea Clan god is about to unleash a bloodbath on the Fragrant Sea Region, but so far, this so-called evil god hasn't appeared... Could it be that King of Chambord has been wronged?
"Don't listen to this scoundrel's excuses! See his true colors! Let's all attack and kill him!"
"Yes, Lord D'Alessandro comes from Martial Saint Mountain, a disciple of Lord Maradona. How could he possibly frame the King of a mere vassal state?"
Among the crowd, some people were hiding in the shadows and loudly jeering.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Amidst the whistling sound of wind cutting through the air, three or four dazzling beams of Dou Qi aura shattered the tranquility of the night, raining down on Sun Fei and Lloris. The atmosphere, which had eased slightly thanks to Sun Fei's efforts, instantly exploded, like a fuse igniting a powder keg, and the battle erupted in an instant.
"Kill him! Slaughter him! Eliminate this scum of the Human Clan, and we will be heroes of humankind!"
"Don't forget, everyone, killing these two scoundrels will bring you a huge bounty. Hundreds of empires across the continent have already offered bounties for them, dead or alive!"
"Kill them! Kill them all! Maybe we can gain the favor of Lord Maradona, the Strongest Above the Land! Hahaha!"
"For the sake of the entire Human Clan, we must eliminate them. We must not hesitate, or we will become sinners against the Human Clan."
The two or three voices that had appeared earlier changed direction and tone, mingling among the crowd, constantly stirring up trouble and creating a commotion in various ways.
Sun Fei frowned.
Just as he had guessed, things weren't that simple.
These jeering fellows are definitely not acting out of righteous indignation for the sake of the Human Clan; they are absolutely acting under someone else's orders with ulterior motives. They've lured these Moon Class experts here to their deaths. If they kill these people and get their hands stained with Bloody, they'll inevitably incur countless grudges. Even if the truth comes out later, it won't be able to resolve their hatred. Moreover, once both sides are in a bloodthirsty frenzy, any explanation will be useless.
But you can't just take the beating without fighting back.
A very insidious scheme.
At this moment, incited by several people hiding in the shadows, the previously hesitant experts around them suddenly unleashed their best skills, attacking Sun Fei and his companion with ruthless force, their terrifying energy surging forth like a raging storm.
A bloody battle is now inevitable.
First update.
