"Beautiful woman, come down here."
The Witch King sat in the water, beckoning to Tang Keke.
"Are you sick? Why would I come down?"
Tang Keke had already raised her saber.
"Hahahaha, beautiful woman, as long as you come down and keep me company, I'll let Ye Zixiao go. But if you refuse, I guarantee he'll die a miserable death. As for you, you'll die even more miserably."
"I'm so scared!"
Tang Keke looked at Ye Zixiao.
"I'm scared too!"
Ye Zixiao shivered, then said to the Witch King, "You old bastard, stop acting like a big shot. If you've got the guts, come out and we'll fight. I really want to see what you've got."
"With you?"
The Witch King looked at Ye Zixiao askance.
"What, I'm not worthy?"
"Hahaha, you really aren't."
As the Witch King spoke, he waved his hand. From somewhere, a group of people suddenly appeared. They were all wearing terrifying fierce ghost masks and wielding oddly shaped sabers.
Tang Keke counted.
There were thirteen people in total.
"Thirteen Protectors?"
Tang Keke and Ye Zixiao exclaimed simultaneously.
"Yes, you guessed correctly!"
The Witch King took a sip of red wine and said with great pride, "My thirteen Protectors are truly invincible. But they are unknown to the world. Do you know why?"
"Because everyone who has seen them is dead?"
"That's right, ahahahaha..."
"Hahahaha, bite me!"
Ye Zixiao, unable to restrain himself, raised his saber and pointed at the Witch King, shouting, "Witch King, stop being crazy. Hurry up and order them to attack. I really want to see your thirteen Protectors."
"Are you looking for death?"
"Kid, have you really had enough of living?"
"We are the Thirteen Protectors!"
"Kneel and kowtow. There's still time."
Before the Witch King could issue an order, the thirteen Protectors who had surrounded them had already raised their sabers and were posturing. These people indeed exuded a killing aura, but it wasn't to the point of being invincible.
The Witch King is mentally unstable.
His words cannot be trusted!
"Kill!!!"
The Witch King suddenly gave the order.
Swish—
A Protector lunged forward.
Splat—
Tang Keke swung her saber, and the first Protector's head was severed. The head rolled on the ground, and the body continued to charge forward. After running another five or six steps, the corpse finally fell at Tang Keke's feet.
"Good heavens, no way!"
Tang Keke covered her mouth.
"You, you, you killed a Protector?"
Ye Zixiao's eyes widened in exaggerated disbelief.
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Didn't they say they were invincible?"
"Yeah, could it be that *I* am invincible?"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."
The two of them played along, putting on a rather poor performance. However, their exaggerated tone and actions angered the remaining twelve Protectors, who revealed fierce expressions.
"You two are dead."
"I'm going to chop you into pieces."
"Waaah..."
The twelve Protectors became more and more ferocious in their shouts.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."
The scrawny Witch King suddenly leaped out of the water. He was wearing only a small pair of briefs, his skin shriveled, making him look incredibly ugly. Yet, he laughed with unrestrained abandon.
"What are you doing now?"
Ye Zixiao rolled his eyes at the Witch King.
Unfortunately.
The Witch King completely ignored him.
The Witch King laughed for a long time, almost to the point of choking himself. Then, he hunched over and pointed at the twelve Protectors, saying, "Don't be afraid. Believe my words, you are invincible in this world."
"Attack!"
"Kill!"
Two Protectors attacked simultaneously.
"Screw you!"
Ye Zixiao threw two punches.
In these two punches, Ye Zixiao didn't even use fifty percent of his strength, but he easily blew apart the heads of the two Protectors. Blood and brains splattered everywhere, creating a bloody and disgusting scene.
"I don't believe it!"
"What's going on?"
"The King said we're invincible!"
"That can't be right?!"
The remaining ten Protectors began to panic.
"Ah? What? Hahahaha..."
The Witch King erupted into another fit of manic laughter, his body writhing as he shouted, "Don't be afraid, don't panic, this is an accident. Oh no, no, no... this is an illusion, an illusion. All of you attack together, you are invincible."
"I've had enough!"
Tang Keke was finally enraged.
Originally, like Ye Zixiao, she had been anticipating and cautious about these thirteen Protectors, considering them the Witch King's final trump card. The guards on the first floor had also warned them, so they genuinely hadn't underestimated them.
However.
The three Protectors who charged forward.
They died so casually.
Players of this caliber probably couldn't even defeat Leng Shao and Shan Ge. Let alone thirteen of them, even one hundred and thirty or a thousand and three, they wouldn't dare claim to be invincible!
From this, it could be seen.
The Witch King was undoubtedly mentally unstable!
The ten terrified Protectors, under the instigation of the deranged Witch King, actually launched a joint attack. Their ten peculiar sabers did not target Ye Zixiao, but were all aimed at Tang Keke.
Perhaps these ten Protectors felt.
Tang Keke was easier to bully.
But they were wrong.
When Keke was angered.
Blood would splash five steps!
The speed of a goddess queen's saber was imperceptible to the normal human eye. Just as Ye Zixiao's vision began to blur, the flashing cold light had ceased, and the battle seemed to have ended.
All ten Protectors were frozen in place?!
Clang, clang, clang...
Ten peculiar sabers dropped to the ground.
The next second, the ten Protectors almost simultaneously raised their hands, instinctively covering their throats. Streams of bright red blood spurted from between their fingers.
The blood was red.
Proving that the Protectors were not mutants.
And without being mutants, they dared to claim invincibility?
Heh heh heh...
The Protectors, like the Witch King, were all mentally unstable!
"Gugugu!"
"Gurglegurgle!"
"Wuwuwu!"
A series of terrifying sounds emanated from the throats of the ten Protectors. Their eyes filled with despair. Perhaps at this moment, they regretted it, and they had finally realized they were not invincible.
But it was too late.
They were certain to die.
Thump, thump...
The Protectors fell one by one.
They twitched, awaiting death...
"Alas! Not a single one worth fighting!"
Tang Keke sighed with some annoyance.
"Yeah, the Thirteen Protectors were so weak!"
Ye Zixiao also shrugged his shoulders in disappointment.
"What? What what?"
The deranged Witch King started to wail again.
He stood by the hot spring, holding a wine glass in his left hand and scratching the back of his head with his right, shouting in utter disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. My Thirteen Protectors are invincible, invincible!"
"Invincible, your mother!"
Tang Keke cursed and launched her attack.
She had truly had enough, she was so annoyed!
They had flown here in a helicopter to kill the Witch King and had almost died in the crash. They had expected to encounter a powerful and formidable king, but they never imagined they would meet a madman for a king?!
This was a disappointment, a vexation, and even considered unlucky for experts like Tang Keke and Ye Zixiao. Especially those Thirteen Protectors, what were they even? Nothing!
Tang Keke's Qinggong was peerless.
Her feet landed like dragonfly kisses on water, as she rapidly crossed the vast hot spring. In mid-air, she performed three consecutive somersaults, gracefully swinging her saber directly towards the Witch King's crown.
Suddenly.
The deranged Witch King raised his right hand.
Tang Keke's saber, descending from the air.
Was actually caught by the Witch King?!
