Luo Chen smiled at Kratos, as if smiling was a habit he maintained, or as if asking Kratos, "How am I doing, bro?"
Kratos gave a thumbs-up, seemingly in response.
Just when the two thought they had resolved the matter, a huge explosion suddenly came from the palace above, and a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.
"It seems the barbarians have made it in after all."
"What can we do? The city lord is inside. Without him, even if we manage to escape, we'll only starve to death."
“I don’t like hearing that. We can deal with tomorrow’s problems tomorrow, but if we don’t escape now, we’re doomed.”
The discussion inevitably reached everyone's ears.
Kratos said, "I'm going to rescue the city lord. You guys arrange the retreat."
To everyone's surprise, Luo Chen pulled her back, saying, "Going won't do you any good."
Chapter 327 Ya Ya
Kratos asked doubtfully, "It'll be too late if we don't go now."
Luo Chen said calmly, "I'll show you what I'm made of."
Kratos was not to be outdone and followed closely behind Luo Chen. The two of them ran towards the castle, one after the other.
In the distance, smoke billowed everywhere, suggesting that the barbarians had already climbed up.
Judging from their posture, they've also made use of quite a few wild animals.
A few hissing sounds rang in Luo Chen's ears, coming from a residential house.
Luo Chen stopped in his tracks, and Kratos, who was following closely behind, also stopped, looking at Luo Chen with a puzzled expression: "Um, what happened?"
Luo Chen said calmly, "There's something strange about this."
Kratos said without turning his head, "We don't have time to deal with the commoners now, let's get to the castle quickly."
Luo Chen thought to himself, "This guy is single-mindedly focused on saving the city lord, but he doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people. It seems that I can forget about getting his help this time."
So Luo Chen said, "You go first, I'll meet you later."
Kratos grunted in agreement and then ran off in the other direction.
Luo Chen lightly jumped onto the roof and looked down at a man holding his weapon, blocking the back gate.
However, what came towards him were four snake-like figures.
Although they all had flowing green hair and their backs were incredibly alluring, Luo Chen could sense that these snake-faced creatures were all extremely ugly when they grew up.
A scream rang out, and before the man in front of her could react, he had turned into a stone statue.
Those beautiful snakes even tried to rush into the house in the backyard.
Luo Chen quickly jumped down, and the several beautiful snakes became even more excited upon seeing him.
"What a delicious aroma! I'll eat you up!"
One of the beautiful snakes spoke to Luo Chenjian, and Luo Chen quickly ran up and punched her. It seems that these beautiful snakes are not very good at close combat.
The beautiful snake woman who had been struck by Luo Chen was just struggling to get up when Luo Chen appeared in front of her.
"Yes, I understand."
The words had barely left his mouth when a flame burst into flames on his body: "Fresh roasted snake meat, I really want to find someone to share it with."
The remaining two beautiful snakes seemed to be provoked by Luo Chen, and they screamed loudly.
Luo Chen felt himself begin to turn to stone.
One of his hands was already occupied by the stone, and Luo Chen could clearly hear the beautiful snake in front of him mocking him.
It seems that Luo Chen is now a piece of food waiting to die.
Soon, Luo Chen's entire body had turned into a huge stone.
The beautiful snakes, having succeeded, turned around and saw a woman holding her daughter, who was about ten years old.
"Mom, I'm afraid."
The little girl said pitifully, and her mother gritted her teeth, stood up, and ran towards the beautiful snake, as if she were ready to die together with her.
Just then, a beautiful snake appeared before the mother with lightning speed, thrusting one hand into her body before gently raising it, lifting the mother into the air.
The little girl seemed to sense her mother's pain and called out loudly for her mother.
Her mother's consciousness began to blur. She struggled to lift her head and shouted, "Yaya, run!"
Hearing her mother's call, Ya Ya felt an even stronger urge to get closer to her mother.
The beautiful snake, seeing such tender and smooth food, naturally disregarded the woman.
She tried to shake off the woman in front of her, but to her surprise, the woman used her last bit of strength to hug her arm tightly.
Luo Chen witnessed all of this, and at the same time, the passion in his heart began to burn.
You bastard, even if you're going to punish the world, it should be me. What right do you have to go over my head and hurt the world?
Anger caused Luo Chen's eyes to turn bloodshot again, and at the same time, the stone statue began to shatter, with pieces falling one after another.
Luo Chen roared inwardly, breaking through the stone wall around his body and coldly staring at the beautiful snake woman in front of him.
The beautiful snake women all turned their heads in great surprise.
"This is impossible. Our petrification is something even demigods would fear."
"Why say so much? Sisters, let's all attack together and make him our food."
Luo Chen laughed heartily: "Hmph, you think you can compete with me?"

After saying that, he produced a whip in his hand, and with a light leap, he jumped directly into the air and began to brandish his whip.
One of the beautiful snakes was unable to dodge in time and was struck by Luo Chen's whip. She stood frozen in place, her vision beginning to blur.
Once she regained consciousness, she had only one belief: to obey, to obey Luo Chen.
Luo Chen said calmly, "Go, turn them all into stone."
"Yes Master."
The beautiful snake whispered something, then slithered up and screamed at her former companion.
The beautiful snakes probably never expected that their companion would betray them.
........ ........ ...
So one by one they tried to hide in all directions, but little did they know that they would become snake statues after taking only two steps.
Luo Chen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He took the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand and smashed all the statues.
Luo Chen asked the tamed snake woman, "Is there any hope for him?"
The beautiful snake looked at the man standing outside the courtyard and shook her head. Luo Chen hadn't expected that even the beautiful snake couldn't save the petrified man.
He sighed and buried the stone sculpture and the woman's body in the ground.
The little girl looked at the two corpses and gripped Luo Chen's big hand even tighter. Now, she only had this big brother by her side.
"Brother, what am I going to do in the future?"
Luo Chen chuckled softly, squatted down, and patted Ya Ya's hair.
"Don't worry, you can stay with your brother from now on, okay?"
Ya Ya nodded sadly and asked in confusion, "Brother Luo Chen, where did Mom and Dad go?"
Unable to answer, Luo Chen could only say, "Well, they have become my demon slaves. As long as you behave well, you will see them one day."
Ya Ya nodded: "Ya Ya will listen to Brother Luo Chen from now on."
Luo Chen hugged him tightly: "Alright, now it's time to test whether you're good or not. Remember not to cry."
Ya Ya immediately stopped crying, and Luo Chen, leading the girl and the beautiful snake woman, headed directly towards the castle.
Chapter 328 The Beautiful Snake Queen
"Attack! Charge forward and hold them off!"
A fat, middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes pointed at the row of barbarians about to charge forward and said.
The remaining soldiers charged straight into the first rank.
Before a soldier could even get into position, the barbarian appeared in front of him and swung his sword down hard.
The soldier struggled but didn't move, forcefully throwing his weapon towards the barbarian.
The two men glared at each other and fell against the railing, motionless, like two statues.
More and more barbarians began to charge forward, and the soldiers kept thrusting their spears out.
One after another, people fell to the ground, and the entire area in front of the castle was filled with the stench of blood.
Kratos walked up to the "303" group, grabbed a barbarian and pulled him behind him, then swiftly slashed his twin blades towards the barbarian's neck.
A spray of blood appeared, and when everyone saw Kratos, it was as if they had seen their pillar of support.
The city lord thought to himself, "Let this kid hold the line for me, and I can retreat first."
Once he had an idea, he had to do it. Without saying a word, the city lord walked directly into the main hall, and many soldiers clearly saw this scene.
As the saying goes, a general's heart is the heart of his soldiers. If even his own commander runs away, then where will the remaining soldiers find any fighting spirit?
Everyone's enthusiasm seemed to have been doused with cold water, and countless people had thoughts of giving up.
The barbarians didn't care whether you had fighting spirit or not. When they saw an opportunity, they charged forward one after another, pushing all the soldiers who stood in their way to the ground.
They were reaping their lives with their own weapons.
Kratos gritted his teeth, watching the direction the city lord fled in, a surge of anger burning within him. He raised his twin blades high: "What are you afraid of? Charge in and kill them all!"
The defending soldiers, who were originally at a disadvantage, were still willing to believe in the guy in front of them who could run around the entire empire with fifty men.
So he took his sword and spear and walked forward, thrusting out rows of spears, and many barbarians fell to the ground.
Luo Chen had also arrived at the center of the battle. Holding a long sword in one hand, he charged into the crowd with unstoppable momentum.
Soon he met up with the group outside the castle, and Kratos, panting, said, "You've finally arrived?"
Luo Chen nodded. At the same time, Kratos looked at Luo Chen, the beautiful snake behind him, and the little girl beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What method did he use to save the little girl? And why was the beautiful snake following behind him like an obedient slave?
But now is not the time to think about these things. He turned to his adjutant and said, "You stay here and guard this place, Luo Chen. I know you're not one of our soldiers, but there's a row of cannons in the backyard. If you can activate them, we'll be saved."
Luo Chen grunted in agreement and, without saying another word, ran straight to the backyard, leaving the beautiful snake woman there to help Kratos.
To reach the backyard, there seemed to be a long road ahead. Several beautiful snakes appeared out of nowhere, striking alluring poses. Luo Chen lowered his head, looked at the little girl in his arms, and said softly, "Cover your ears and close your eyes."
The little girl obediently did as Luo Chen said.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen attacked the snake beauties. Soon, he killed one of them on the spot. The blood did not frighten the other mindless creatures, who continued to charge forward relentlessly.
Luo Chen turned around and thrust his sword directly into the other's body.
The beautiful snake took two steps back and exploded with a scream.
Just then, a beautiful snake queen, even larger than the usual beautiful snake, slithered out, her eyes fixed on Luo Chen as if she wanted to devour him.
"And here comes a big one."
The beautiful snake queen looked at Luo Chen coldly and said, "Who are you, daring to block the attack of my human snake race?"
Luo Chen snorted coldly: "What kind of human-snake race is this? It's clearly a hybrid species, something that's formed from the mating of humans and animals. Why are they harassing humans?"
The beautiful snake queen's greatest fear was anyone mentioning that human ancestors existed among them. She had originally planned to use the barbarians to destroy Sparta, and then, before Sparta could recover, unite with other beastmen to wipe them out as well.
It now appears that this man will be the greatest obstacle to carrying out their plan.
This man absolutely cannot be kept alive any longer.
Killing intent! The smile on Luo Chen's face deepened. Hatred was often his best ally. Just as the beautiful snake opposite him was about to make a move, Luo Chen waved his hand and said, "Wait."
The beautiful snake queen stopped what she was doing and said with a mocking smile, "What, are you scared? If you don't want to die, just help me capture your city lord."
Luo Chen shrugged: "Um, you might have misunderstood something. I'm not saying I'm afraid of you, but I'm afraid you can't beat me and will end up crying and wailing. So I have a potion here that can boost your combat power for a short time. Would you like to consider it?"
