Chapter 446 Practice Makes Perfect with Dishes
"The Emperor's Guard?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers by the campfire changed their expressions dramatically.
Clearly, the Emperor's Guard had a notorious reputation.
Li Muyang frowned and turned to the prison cart beside him, where the little girl inside immediately explained in a subdued voice.
"The Emperor's Guard is the personal guard of the Emperor, only obeying His Majesty's commands, specializing in killing the loyal and good on behalf of the Emperor..."
The girl's response left Li Muyang with a question mark above his head.
The Emperor's personal guard? Sent specifically to kill a convicted official?
Was the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty so petty? Punishing a subject wasn't enough by slaughtering all the male members of his family and banishing the female members to the frontier—all to be followed by sending someone out for an assassination?
Hearing the great name of the Emperor's Guard, the soldiers were obviously frightened.
The leader, a decurion, said stiffly, "Please present your official documents..."
However, the six members of the Emperor's Guard weren't interested in talking.
The leading grim man sneered and waved his hand, issuing a simple command.
"Kill! Leave no one alive!"
This group of the Emperor's Guard was intent on annihilating everyone.
And the soldiers seemed unsurprised by this.
They simply clenched their knife handles in anger and roared, "Damn the Emperor's Guard! We are just following orders to escort a prisoner!"
"Fight them!"
"We're dead either way, slaughter them!"
"Right! Kill these dogs and flee to the outside to join the rebels!"
The soldiers loudly encouraged each other, but the resistance only lasted a few minutes before they fell to the ground, cut down by the six extravagantly dressed members of the Emperor's Guard.
The gulf between the strengths of the two sides was immense.
Especially the member of the Emperor's Guard who had been standing at a distance with a drawn bow the entire time—his archery was incredibly accurate.
Li Muyang, in his spirit form, watched the entire scene unfold but was powerless to intervene.
With his cultivation, had his true form descended, a mere sneeze could have killed these six members of the Emperor's Guard.
But at that moment, he could only watch helplessly as they surrounded the prison cart that held the little girl.
Just as the girl seemed destined to die under the knives of the Emperor's Guard again, Li Muyang was ready to reload the game when suddenly, a golden exclamation mark appeared above the girl inside the cart.
Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Out of gamer's instinct, Li Muyang subconsciously clicked on the golden exclamation mark.
[Nie Yubing has died, game over]
Looking at the defeat CG in his view, Li Muyang was sure that he too lacked experience in controlling corpses.
The main issue was the delay in corpses' responses to simultaneous commands for ten bodies which made it very difficult for him to control them.
The strategy of using their numerical advantage to swarm and blindly attack was absolutely not working.
He needed to micromanage each one.
Having summarized his failed experiences, Li Muyang sighed, and once again reloaded the game.
This time, things went much smoother.
He killed three Chiānwú guards in succession, but the corpses were eventually turned into porcupines by the arrows of a Chiānwú guard with powerful archery skills.
[Nie Yubing has died, game over]
The moment the defeat CG popped up, Li Muyang decisively cut it out.
He reloaded and returned to the game once again.
After failing six times in a row, Li Muyang finally got the hang of the rhythm of controlling the corpses.
So much so that when the strongest of the Chiānwú guards transformed into a ferocious monster and roared while charging, Li Muyang easily subdued it.
In the end, relying on ten fearless and ferocious corpses, he bit it to death.
Before dying, the transformed Chiānwú guard roared unwillingly, its eyes fixated on the empty space beside the prison cart.
It couldn't see anything there, but it saw the little girl in the cart talking in that direction.
Obviously, a powerful and mysterious entity was hiding there, slaughtering them with the evil art of corpse control...
The disfigured monster, in pain and unwillingness, howled fiercely, its eyes blood-red.
"Damn you..."
"Coward!"
"You dare slaughter Chiānwú guards on the Emperor's territory, you won't live long!"
The next second, the corpses bit through its throat.
The guard, now a breathless monster, became silent.
The corpses, having slaughtered the Chiānwú guards, uncontrollably had blood-red eyes and excitedly tore at the six dead bodies of the Chiānwú guards.
As they frenziedly feasted, a faint black deathly aura began to surface on the bodies of the corpses.
The little girl witnessing all this trembled and curled up inside the prison cart, her head hung low, too frightened to look into Li Muyang's eyes.
"Immortal... Immortal..."
The girl said with a fearful and trembling voice, "I'm not a demon, I didn't control them to eat..."
