Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

the other side.

At this time, major cities in the southern region are facing a combined invasion by mutated beasts, undead warriors, and vampire armies...

"My lord... Marquis! Something terrible has happened!"

"Your Excellency, it's terrible! Many strange beasts and undead have suddenly emerged from the city's underground, and the city is in complete chaos!"

"My lord! Those monsters emerging from the ground are wreaking havoc on the city, and many vampire warriors have also stormed in, hunting civilians everywhere! The Night Watch is holding off those dark races, but I'm afraid they won't be able to hold them off for long..."

"My lord, there are currently 561 deaths and 1028 injuries in Qingcheng..."

"Your Excellency, the Night's Watch is frantically sending us distress calls. Should we...?"

"Are you an idiot?! We were just tricked by the Ye family and fought a major battle with Wang En's army. We haven't even recovered our strength yet, how can we fight against the vampire army?!"

"But they've stormed into our territory, coming on strong! If we don't send troops to suppress these dark races and those monsters... what about the civilians who couldn't escape..."

"A bunch of civilians who aren't superhumans, their lives aren't worth much! What difference would it make if a few died! Besides, aren't there still the Night Watch and the Witchers? Let them hold the fort for now..."

"I fought a major battle with Wang En's army and was seriously wounded. I haven't fully recovered yet! Do you think I, a nobleman, would risk my life for those ordinary people?!"

"So...what do we do now?"

"Nonsense! Let's get out of here first! Anyway, those civilians who couldn't escape in time are holding the line for us. Let's get out of the city first. The royal family will definitely send troops to support us. We'll deal with it after the imperial reinforcements arrive..."

"Just send a hundred men as a token gesture, let's get out of here quickly. It's not worth risking our lives for a bunch of civilians!"

"Yes Yes......"

.......

Arsen.

"First-tier martial skill - Autumn Wind Slash!"

With a whooshing sound as the blade slices through the air.

With lightning speed, Nangong Qiuyue severed the arm of a demonized beast with a single slash!

However, the mutated beast seemed to feel no pain at all. It let out a ferocious roar and swung its claws back, sending Nangong Qiuyue flying with a single blow!

"Uh!"

Nangong Qiuyue flew more than ten meters away, crashing into two streetlights and a bus stop sign on the roadside and collapsing them.

The girl tumbled to the ground in a sorry state, her body covered in wounds.

Her bun on top of her head had come undone, and her long, dark brown hair was now loose.

The girl gritted her teeth and reached for the straight knife that was right next to her. She struggled a lot and tried several times but failed to get up from the ground again.

She looked up at the scene before her.

The city suffered severe damage: collapsed overpasses, cracked ground, shards of glass everywhere, smashed billboards, and buildings teetering on the brink of collapse...

Under the pitch-black night sky, various alarms sounded, and thick black smoke drifted into the air.

Dozens of Night's Watchmen and Witchers are fighting against the corrupted beasts.

Various martial arts techniques, magic, supernatural abilities, bullets... flew everywhere...

However, there were too many of those beasts and undead warriors.

There's simply no way to resist!

"These monsters..."

At this moment, Nangong Qiuyue finally leaned on her knife, gritted her teeth, and slowly got up from the ground: "Where did you come from?!"

"Roar--!"

A monstrous beast, over thirty meters tall, let out a deafening roar.

It made Nangong Qiuyue's eardrums ache and her head buzz.

Then it raised its huge paw and casually slapped down a building.

Then, the strange beast seemed to notice Nangong Qiuyue over there.

The large claw reached out towards her...

A huge black shadow covered Nangong Qiuyue's petite body.

Nangong Qiuyue's pupils contracted.

She wanted to use the "Wind and Shadow Dance Steps" to escape.

But with my leg injured, I can't use it at all...

"This looks like a beast at the Thousand Soul Realm..."

The girl steeled her resolve, raised her straight sword, and held it horizontally in front of her chest.

They were clearly planning to fight this monster to the death!

"Om-"

At that moment, a barely audible buzzing sound was heard.

A white light, barely visible to the naked eye, streaked across the neck of the giant beast.

The beast's body froze instantly.

A few seconds later, blood splattered from the beast's neck with a "thud"!

It started as a single jet of blood, then became two, and finally, like a broken water pipe, blood splattered all around, and the head fell off as well.

"boom......"

The 30-meter-tall beast finally collapsed.

Nangong Ru's figure flashed and appeared in front of the girl.

The long black trench coat fluttered gently.

"sister!"

Nangong Qiuyue called out.

"You crazy girl, all you do is cause trouble!" Nangong Ru scolded her as soon as she opened her mouth, and said with a stern face, "What level are you? You're here fighting against alien beasts? You should be in a shelter with the ordinary people right now!"

"Sister! Are you kidding me?" Nangong Qiuyue said, "There are only so many Night Watchmen in the city, they can't possibly stop so many mutated beasts and undead warriors! Although I'm not a formal Night Watchman yet, I'm at least a student at the War Academy! If I run away, what will happen to those ordinary people?"

“You…” Nangong Ru glared at her: “Do you think you, a mere low-level transcendent being at the Profound Realm, can be of any help?”

Swish!

At that moment, a dozen extremely fast black shadows flew in the sky, their figures obscuring the moon in the night sky.

Finally, they landed in front of Nangong Ru and the others.

It turned out to be a dozen or so vampire warriors!

"Nangong Ru, the Director of the Night Watch of the Human Empire?"

The leading vampire warrior, clearly an officer, looked at her with a contemptuous and amused expression: "Didn't expect to see you here, huh? Speaking of which, you, the dignified chief of the Night's Watch, actually need to take action personally. It seems that your Night's Watch are all stationed at the Wall, and there aren't many superhumans left in this city... Heh heh, where are your Imperial troops? Could it be that they all went into hiding because they knew our great Lord Nicholas was coming?"

Nangong Ru bit her lower lip.

I wish she knew!

What's going on with these nobles in the Southern Territory, those scoundrels who call themselves the "Army of Justice" in the righteous path?!

They usually boast loudly, but when it comes to fighting the internal war against the Ye family, they all work so hard.

Now that we're going to fight a foreign war, they've all vanished without a trace! Who knows where they've hidden themselves!
