Kneel to an enemy? That was more agonizing than death itself. The Crown Prince, in particular, found it impossible to accept.
In the swamp, the injured vines went berserk, frantically lashing at the Crown Prince and his retainers.
"Protect the Crown Prince!" Tiance roared.
They quickly formed a circle, shielding the Crown Prince. A vine whipped toward them, instantly flinging Tiance into the air. He spat out a mouthful of blood as half his body was blasted apart by the blow. The other men were also sent reeling, bleeding incessantly. In a single strike, the group from the Celestial King's Mansion was severely injured.
The Crown Prince's eyes turned crimson. Damn it!
With a thud, he fell to his knees. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Young Master Lin, I beg you to save our Celestial King's Mansion!"
