I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 880: One Person Suppresses the "Knights of the Guards"; The Brave Xiao

However, the attack was easily blocked before it even reached Rudra. Velgrynd stood in front of Rudra, tightly grasping the tip of Xiao's "Wapiti" with his own hand.

Two fierce auras burst out from the two of them.

Looking at the blocked attack, Xiao frowned slightly, but did not entangle himself. He twisted his hand holding the Wakuyu slightly and directly broke free from Velgrynd's restraints, but was still shaken back a few steps due to the recoil force.

“Tick-tock, tick-tock.”

A few drops of bright red blood flowed out from Velgrynd’s right hand and dripped onto the ground.

Velgrynd is bleeding!!!

As one of the parties involved, Xiao slowly shook off the blood of Velgrynd, the "Scorching Dragon", which was stained on the tip of his "Hepu Kite".

At this moment, there was an unconcealable disappointment in Xiao's eyes.

"Pity."

It was obvious that Xiao regretted that his previous shot did not directly penetrate Rudra's neck.

If it is inserted, then everything can be ended cleanly and neatly.

At this time, everyone around was so shocked by Xiao's sudden move that they were speechless.

Even the usually ruthless Kondo Tatsuya's face stiffened when he saw the blood dripping from the palm of the 'marshal' on the main stage, who was hailed as one of the 'strongest in the world'.

Damrada, the Royal Guard Knight ranked 'Sequence Two', broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this scene.

“Hey, hey, hey~~, is this a joke!? The ‘Marshal’ got hurt so easily!?”

At this moment, Xiao has risen to the level of a monster in Damrada's eyes.

Regarding Xiao's first-level surprise attack just now, Damrada didn't think he could withstand it at all!

This is a monster-level existence!

Just looking at that move just now, whether it was the magic energy, technique or the control over the power, they had all been honed to the point of perfection.

He was absolutely certain at this moment that the other party's use of "power" was even better than his own.

This is not something that we can handle!

Not to mention him, even Kondo Tatsu can't do it!

The only one in the entire Demonic Federation who is qualified to fight against it, or even to suppress and defeat it, is probably...

Thinking of this, Damrada unconsciously turned his gaze towards the 'Marshal' with a gloomy face and blood dripping from his palms not far away, and the 'Your Majesty' sitting on a chair beside him!

Compared to 'Kondo Tatsuya' and 'Damrada', the expressions of the other Sequence Knights were even more miserable.

Are you kidding me? The "Marshal" who was synonymous with "invincible" in their hearts and was called an overwhelming monster was actually "injured"!?

The bright red blood on the ground that exuded powerful energy was telling them that their 'Marshal' was not invincible, but could be injured and even defeated!

At this time, Rimuru, who was protected by Xiao, looked at this dreamy scene and opened his mouth in shock.

This, this, this... isn't this a bit too strong!?

Not only Rimuru, but also Diablo, known as the 'Original Black', Testarossa, known as the 'Original White', and Benimaru, the 'General of the Demon Kingdom', who were standing behind Xiao, were all shocked by Xiao's slightly exaggerated attack power!

Xiao's surprise attack was beyond their expectations.

Velgrynd felt a stinging sensation in his palm, which made him feel dazed. Then, endless rage surged into his heart.

Are you kidding me? She's injured?!

Being hurt by a weak person whom she never took seriously! ?

Is this a provocation!? A challenge to her dignity as a 'Dragon'!?

As Velgrynd’s mood changed, an overwhelming aura, so hot it felt like stepping into a crimson hell, erupted from Velgrynd’s body.

Because the aura was so huge and hot, even the space was distorted by the burning.

Velgrynd was truly furious! Truly furious!!!

Everyone around, including all the sequences, actually lowered their heads because of this terrifying feeling of oppression.

Even the weaker Sequence Knights knelt on one knee, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, and their breathing became rapid.

The only ones who could still barely stand on the ground were the guards knights with serial numbers in the "single digits", namely Kondo Tatsuya and Damrada.

Compared to the Royal Guards, this seems particularly easy for Rimuru.

Although this pressure was indeed very powerful, it was still not enough for Diablo and Testarossa.

Wanting to use pressure to make them surrender, haha~~, even Qi Yi and Mo Li don't have this ability.

Not to mention Velgrynd, whose strength was far inferior to the two.

Even Hongwan can withstand this pressure with his own strength.

As for Rimuru, there was no need to worry about her. If she unleashed her full strength, even Velgrynd would be beaten. It was just a mere pressure, no big deal.

Xiao, who was protecting everyone in front of him, felt the pressure from Velgrynd, but he was not afraid at all and chose to confront him head-on.

Xiao took a step forward, and a blood-red aura of killing rose from around him.

A powerful and fierce pressure with an endless murderous aura swept directly towards the people of the empire, confronting Velgrynd's momentum head-on.

However, Xiao's strength was not as strong as Velgrynd, who was a Calamity Grade. Facing Velgrynd's pressure, he could only barely resist.

But so what?

Xiao is not afraid!

The most unlucky ones at this time were the Serial Knights of the 'Empire'. First, they had to endure the pressure from their own Calamity-level 'Marshal', and then they had to endure the pressure from 'Xiao' who carried the aura of murder. Many knights who had 'awakened' had already lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, there were only a dozen or so serial knights left in the Imperial side of the "Royal Guards Knights", including "Kondo Tatsuya" and other single-digit serial Knights of the Royal Guards.

“Velgrind, calm down.”

At this moment, Rudra, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly spoke up.

After hearing Rudra’s warning, Velgrendo, who had been completely overwhelmed by anger, gradually regained consciousness.

He quickly withdrew his own pressure and returned to Rudra's side.

Because if the pressure was not withdrawn, except for a few powerful Sequence Knights, everyone else would lose consciousness or even die in the confrontation between Velgrynd and Xiao.

This is the Empire, Rudra's headquarters, and the only one who will be lost is Rudra!

"To be honest, I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Your value may be higher than that of my entire 'Knight Guard'."

The admiration and praise in Rudra's eyes as he looked at Xiao became more intense.

In Rudra's memory, there are definitely not many True Demon Lord-level beings that can rival Xiao's aura just now.

The strength of this little fellow named 'Xiao' is probably already in the first rank below 'Catastrophe Grade'.

It’s really... excellent!

"Submit to me. I can promise you that after I unify the continent, I will give me a territory no less than the 'Demon King's Territory' and grant you the title of 'Duke'. How do you do?"

At this time, 'Rudra' used his biggest chip because he really liked Xiao too much.

This level even exceeded that of 'Yuuki Kaguraita' and the Sequence Knights under his command, who had just been controlled.

However, facing the temptation of Rudra's Dukedom, Xiao did not respond at all. He just raised the Kabuto in his hand and looked coldly at Rudra, Velgrendo and others.

Xiao's intention is self-evident.

In Xiao's heart, only the Emperor is qualified to be his master. Other than him, no one else is worthy!

Even if the 'God of Creation' Star King Long who created this world was still alive, 'Xiao''s' answer would be the same!

Looking at Xiao like this, a trace of regret appeared on Rudra's majestic face. He knew that he was once again rejected by the person he valued.

At this moment, he was really envious of Morax, who had such a powerful and loyal person to serve him!

"Go ahead. Capture him. Kondo, I hope you can capture him alive, but if not, then kill him."

Rudra waved his hand and gave orders to the guard knights, including Kondo Tatsuya, who were flanking him.

Although he values ​​this man called 'Xiao' very much, if he is an obstacle to his hegemony, then 'Rudra' will kill him without mercy.

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Kondo Tatsuya responded, and then a group of guards including Kondo Tatsuya and Damrada, including almost all the single-digit sequence knights, slowly surrounded Xiao.

Judging from the confrontation between Xiao and their Marshal Velgrynd just now, if they fought alone, none of them present would be a match for the monster in front of them.

The only way to deal with him is to attack him in groups!

Looking at 'Kondo Tatsuya' and others who were gradually surrounding him, Xiao's expression did not change at all, as if this was just a trivial matter not worth paying attention to.

Yet this is exactly what happened.

Looking at Xiao who was surrounded by almost all the higher beings not far away, Rimuru's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.

He hurriedly wanted to send Diablo and others to provide support, but before Rimuru could speak, as if he had received some reminder, Rimuru swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Because the 'King of Wisdom' in Rimuru's mind just now reminded Rimuru that except for the 'Emperor' Rudra and the 'Scorching Dragon' Velgrind, all the other guards, even if they attacked together, might not be a match for 'Xiao'.

However, just as Rimuru was about to say something to the 'King of Wisdom', the battle between Xiao and the several 'awakened' strongmen had already begun.

Kondo Tatsuya took the lead, wielding his sword and slashing at Xiao. The other knights followed suit, attacking Xiao from different directions.

Facing the fierce attacks from everyone, Xiao remained calm, constantly wielding the Hepu Kite in his hand. Flashes of cyan spears blocked everyone's attacks one by one. Every time the weapons collided, a deafening sound was emitted.

The Hepu Kite in Xiao's hand shuttled among the knights like a spirit snake, sometimes stabbing, sometimes sweeping, and wherever it went, the knights all retreated.

Even those as strong as Kondo Tatsuya and Damrada were forced to retreat again and again under the fierce attack of Kazuhiro Tobira.

Dozens of Royal Guards Knights, including those who had awakened to the first level like 'Kondo Tatsuya', could not gain the slightest advantage in this battle.

On the contrary, the surrounded 'Xiao' became more and more courageous, and he surrounded and suppressed all the Knights Guards alone.

Rudra frowned as he observed the situation. Velgryndore, standing nearby, also had a look of bewilderment in her eyes, but she remained at Rudra's side and chose not to attack.

It is obvious that Kondo Tatsuya and his men alone are unable to defeat the "Great Saint Conquering Demons" from the Empire!

Thinking of this, Rudra waved his hand and gave the order majestically.

“Velgrind, please take action. Take down Demon Lord Rimuru, and this farce should end.”

Rudra's goal has never been Xiao. His goal has always been to capture and control the Demon Lord Rimuru, because only in this way can he make the God of War, known as the "strongest man on the continent", tie his hands and feet and prevent him from taking action.

"Yes. Rudra."

After hearing Rudra’s words, Velgrendo slowly stepped forward, and with the aura he had just withdrew, he once again intimidated Rimuru and the others.

Feeling the pressure from Velgrynd, Rimuru and the others immediately became alert and entered a state of combat readiness.

At this time, Xiao, who was on the battlefield, looked at Velgrynd who was walking towards Rimuru and the others, his eyes flashed, and he swept the hand holding the Wajin Tobi towards Kondo Tatsuya fiercely, directly forcing all the knights to retreat.

Then, Xiao waved the Kabuto and stabbed Velgrind directly at the distant Velgrind.

Looking at Xiao attacking her, a hint of coldness flashed in Velgrendo's beautiful eyes. Scarlet dragon scales slowly emerged on her slender jade hands, and she came into direct confrontation with Xiao's Hepu Kite.

The two powerful forces intertwined, causing the entire space to distort.

Xiao came directly in front of Rimuru and the others, and once again protected them behind him.

"Rimuru-sama, you go ahead. I'll stay behind and stop them."

Xiao's words were indifferent yet full of determination.

He truly wanted to stop all the Royal Guard Knights and Velgrynd, the Scorching Dragon, by himself.
