Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 494 Zhang Min in Danger 2

Chapter 494 - Zhang Min in Danger (2)
"AAAAAHHH!!"
The soul explosion did not harm her physical body. However, her demon souls suffered from the detonation.
Red lines crept on her arms, legs, face, and torso. The same wounds that had inflicted on her souls appeared on her physical body.
Zhang Min lost her strength and fell to the ground.
Sun Ce, Sun Fang, and Ling Tong descended and surrounded her.
The little conqueror, Sun Ce, had a distorted expression, "I lost three good men to subdue one six-wing demon? Zhang Tong, I will definitely kill you!"
Ling Tong glared at the crippled Zhang Min as he shed the tears of anger, "My lord. Please let me kill this wench and avenge for my father!"
Sun Fang clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Be careful, brat. She can also self-detonate and kill you. We should use ranged-attacks and kill her before she has a chance to suicide-bomb us."
Sun Ce nodded in agreement. As he planned to find a bow to finish Zhang Min off, he finally noticed her beauty.
"Hey, isn't this girl kind of pretty? Mind if I take her as my wife?"
"Didn't you listen to what I said!? She can Allah-Akbar you!"
"Allar-what?"
"SHE. CAN. DETONATE. HER. SOULS."
Sun Ce clicked his tongue, "Okay… Bah, what a waste."
As they were bickering of how they should kill Zhang Min, Zhou Yu and other officers arrived to inspect the aftermath.
Zhou Yu wore similar gears as Sun Ce, red scale armor and red clothes. However, he also wore an iron helmet for self-protection.
Upon seeing Zhang Min crawling on the ground inside the city, Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"A six-wing demoness. This must be Zhang Min or Diaochan."
"Do you know her, Gongjin?" Sun Ce glanced at his sworn brother, but he did not let his guard down.
"From our intel, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Min live in this city. However, we don't know how strong Zhang Min is, but we knew that the prime consort Diaochan is as strong as Zhang Tong. My deduction concludes that this girl should be one of them."
"Oh? Well, whoever she is, she has to die!"
Zhou Yu grinned, "No. We'll use her as our bargain chip."
Ling Tong and Sun Ce turned to Zhou Yu with a deep frown. They lost three officers to cripple this girl. Yet, Zhou Yu wanted to spare her.
Had Zhang Min recovered later on, they might have been in trouble!
"Are you nuts!? We lost so many people to take her down! What if she recovers!? Do you think an ordinary dungeon can hold her for long!?"
Zhou Yu was still laughing, "Who said anything about letting her recovering? I asked you to spare her, but I didn't tell you not to cut her four limbs."
"Oh!" Sun Ce and Ling Tong were enlightened. Their dissatisfaction was no more.
Still, the threat of soul detonation had not changed. Zhang Min could always self-explode to cripple them, just like how Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang sacrificed themselves to take down Zhang Min.
"How do we capture her or cut her limbs?"
Sun Ce looked at Zhang Min, who was crying without uttering a voice.
.
The girl suffered an immeasurable pain from the soul injuries. As a maiden who had been sheltered as a princess, she never faced hardship or serious wounds in her entire life.
This blunder confused and shocked her. Zhang Min was lost what she should do to get out of this situation.
'Mom… Dad…'
Zhang Min's tears dripped as she hiccuped. She thought of Tong and the deceased Hua Shi. She also missed Medusa, her step-mother and her mentor.
'Dad… help…'
Unfortunately, she was not a part of the clan chat member. She could not ask anyone for help.
But then, she heard a loud bell ringing in her head.
'Who?'
'Lilim?' This voice confused her, but she could see the light of hope.
'Really?'
'…'
'…'
Zhang Min did not vow or say anything. Her thought was as calm as a calm lake.
At this moment, she remembered her father's teaching. Tong used to teach her after Hua Shi passed away, "Never trust Lilim or her words. Everything that comes out of her mouth can be a trap. I and your mother have been facing hardship because of her, and I don't want you to become like us."
Recalling important words from her father, Zhang Min doubted Lilim.
'Did you kill my mother?'
'How did my mother die?'
Just then, Zhang Min raised her head to look at the surrounding men. She found several angels, but she could not tell which one was Sun Fang.
'Really?'
'…'
.
.
"Wait for a while. Let our men take care of the city first."
Zhou Yu stopped Sun Ce from cutting Zhang Min's arms and legs himself since it was too dangerous.
The waiting game made Sun Ce impatient, "Can't we cut her limbs and be done with it?"
"Who will do it, then? You said it before that she can explode herself, right? Whoever gets closer to her will suffer a serious soul injury."
"Hmm."
Ling Tong looked at Zhou Yu, "Can I do it?"
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce yelled at him, "No!"
"But she killed my father! She has to pay!"
"You will get your revenge soon enough. For now, we need her alive, but she has to be thoroughly crippled. How about this? You can ravish her to your heart content after we severed all her limbs."
Ling Tong glared at Zhang Min with hatred. He did not care about her beauty at all, "I'd rather torture her!"
Zhou Yu snickered, "Raping is an act of humiliation for women. If this wench is Zhang Min, you will be slapping Zhang Tong to the face if you make his daughter your wife!"
The eyes of Ling Tong brightened in enlightenment.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Save yourself for now. We'll find a local man to chop off her limbs first. Then, you can do whatever you want with her. Don't kill her, though. We'll ransom her later."
.
While Zhang Min was conversing with Lilim in secret and Zhou Yu was plotting to torture Zhang Min, Zhou Yu's elite generals, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Song Qian, Huang Zu, and Chen Wu had captured all executive officers inside Julu.
The process was slow since they came with 13 men, but now, 10 remained.
Policemen and noble bodyguards resisted against the five angels, but they could not fight against the group. Even if some of them had awakened a soul because of the immortal blood, they could not use their power without training.
In the end, the soldiers who protected the government houses and local officials were killed. Everyone else was forced to surrender.
After the inner city was under Lu Meng's control, Song Qian and Chen Wu flew over to Zhou Yu's location and reported their missions.
When they first arrived, they were shocked by the scene. After they regained their senses, they completed their jobs.
"We've taken the inner city. Most officials have surrendered to us."
Zhou Yu nodded, "What about the local soldiers?"
"They've organized and escorted some civilians outside of the city. It seems they are planning to withdraw."
"Can you control them?"
"We tried, but we can't. We've killed all of their 5,000-man commanders, but all their subordinates refused to serve us."
"Did you kill them as well?"
"… Not yet. Their soldiers are planning to fight to the death, but Sir Lu Meng stopped us and told us to ask you first. We're trying to corner them right now."
"How many soldiers are there in this city?"
"We don't know. But from what our eye-estimation, at least 40,000 to 50,000 remaining."
Zhou Yu signed and bit his lower lip. Tong's military strength was too strong that Sun Ce could never match him in an open war. This city should have had weak defenses because its borders were safe, but so many militias rested in this city. It baffled Zhou Yu how Tong could amass so many soldiers everywhere.
In the end, they could only resort to terrorism or guerrilla warfare against Tong's armies.
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhang Min, who was coughing blood non-stop, "Other than weak scholars and 5,000-man commanders, has any commander surrendered to us?"
Song Qian shook his head, "Unfortunately, no. They all died fighting."
"I see."
Zhou Yu pondered as his eyes gazed upon the blue sky. After a few seconds of thinking, he grinned.
"Capture me a few strong men. Bring me a few axes, too."
Song Qian raised his eyebrows in confusion at first. But after he noticed the injured girl with 6 black wings on the ground, he gulped and nodded, "Understood, my lord."
As Song Qian and Chen Wu were about to fly toward the outer city area and capture a civilian, a loud voice roared at them.
"WHO DARES CAUSING TROUBLES HERE!?"
After the thunderous yell, a tall, muscular man in red knight armor with a 2.5-meter steel crescent halberd descended to the ground in front of Zhang Min. This person did not hide his killing intent.
Sun Ce and Sun Fang had to leap back to keep a distance away from this person. Their instinct cried that they could not fight this beast head-on.
Six white wings fluttered behind the red knight and one extra soul detached from his body, glaring at all invaders.
Lu Bu entered the scene!
