Within the devastated Fengtian Hall, copious amounts of bright, ghastly red blood spilled across the floor.
In the mont that Xiao Feng stood firm,
a scream as if expelling all the air in one’s body with a loud "Ah" abruptly cut through the air of the hall.
Bai Yujing’s face was contorted as if it were a red-hot iron block, his body tense like a stone; yet his heart sank like it was weighed down with cold lead, staring fixedly at the corpse lying on the ground.
The dragon robe, symbolic of supre dignity and golden hue, had already been soaked with blood, turning into a harsh and dull sauce color.
"The Emperor!! He’s dead!!"
Bai Yujing’s eyes bulged like two ripe plums, as if squeezing out a sound he himself had never heard from his throat.
His voice was hoarse and shrill, with strong undertones of anger and panic.
His whole body felt like it was ablaze, each hair seed to spark with fire, and the hand gripping the Changsheng Sword creaked with the force of his grip. Suddenly, he drew the sword and aid it at the old eunuch, who had brought him such horror.
"Fool!!"
The old eunuch suddenly shouted a curse. His wrinkled face, like orange peel, collapsed, and with a sharp and cold shout, he barked, "He isn’t the real Emperor! Our house had long anticipated that the Emperor would be in danger! Co out!"
As he yelled, he burst out a flurry of needle shadows.
A figure suddenly flashed from the broken corner of the west side, swiftly dodging the old eunuch’s flying needles and revealing himself to everyone’s sight.
It was actually a mysterious person wearing black night clothes, with only their bright eyes exposed.
"Who are you!?"
Bai Yujing again aid the Changsheng Sword at the mysterious person. However, his left hand had already loosened its fist, placing his sweaty fingers on the now warm palm of his hand, feeling much more relaxed.
As long as the one who died wasn’t the real Emperor, his heart settled quite a bit.
Otherwise, if the Emperor of Ming was truly killed, then Ming Country would be thrown into chaos again, and who knows how many people would suffer terribly.
"This person..."
Ye Gucheng’s gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at the person in black, sensing that the person’s strength seed sowhat off.
"Impressive... very impressive!! Is it the Iron Gall Divine Hou? Indeed, just when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it."
Beneath a pillar, Jiang Dali sucked in the cold air with a "ssi" sound and let out a strange, crazy laugh like a madman, one eye oozing black blood while the other eye let out a low chuckle at the person in black.
Accompanying his laughter, the nearly depleted blood bar above his head fluctuated and continued to shrink.
A string of "-2!" "-3!" damage appeared, along with the shocking, bright red blood seeping out from the needle holes in his body, making for a miserable scene.
The person in black snorted coldly, not committing to a response, and slowly backed away.
"You want to leave with our house here?"
The old eunuch coldly snorted and stepped forward, but his figure flickered, his steps unsteady, his face even paler, as the blood bar over his head violently oscillated in the only eye Jiang Dali had left.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
The old eunuch transford into a series of afterimages, pouncing on the person in black like a hawk swooping down, his palms raised before him sending sharp bursts of piercing air directly at the black-clad figure.
The person in black was greatly frightened, rubbing his hands rapidly as a heatwave was imdiately generated.
With his palms as sabers, he swung down swiftly, and in an instant, Saber Qi crisscrossed, bringing with it rolling heatwaves.
Fla Saber!
Fla Saber, originally an intangible Saber Qi infused with scorching Inner Strength, is considered top-notch skillful Martial Arts. Very few in the world could execute it with such mastery, and Jiumozhi was one of them.
"Isn’t Iron Gall Divine Hou, is it Wu Wan!?"
Jiang Dali shifted his gaze and, with a spin of his eyeballs, secretly bit into a dicine Pearl he had hidden in his mouth.
Instantly, a refreshing dicinal ginseng aroma flowed from his throat into his body.
Jiang Dali’s dropping Qi-Blood imdiately stabilized and even began to rise.
However, at this mont, Wu Wan was quickly pierced through several acupoints by the long needles unleashed by the old eunuch in just one encounter, clearly no match for the old eunuch whose hands were both fast and fierce.
No matter how exquisitely one used the Fla Saber, it had to hit the target to be effective.
"To still be this spry after I’ve broken your bones shows your old bones are indeed tough."
Jiang Dali felt the needle-like pains in his body rapidly recovering and suddenly took a step forward.
Instantly, blood from wounds all over his body, like he had been riddled with holes, flowed out even more crazily, twisting and winding as it spilled onto the ground.
Taking another step.
His body was forcibly yanked from the support beam.
Pfft—
Nurous streams of blood in the shape of needles shot out in unison.
On Jiang Dali’s back suddenly appeared nurous needle wounds oozing blood.
The beam, on the other hand, was studded with dozens of deeply embedded silver needles, each tail still dripping with blood droplets, falling to the ground one by one.
But just as he took these two steps.
A surge of intense killing intent roared toward him, bitterly cold as if a fierce beast bared its fangs and pounced. The surrounding air seed to plumt in temperature, as if to solidify, as a commanding force approached.
Jiang Dali’s heart scread a warning, and without hesitation, he once again activated the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill State.
In an instant, his blood-stained body emitted a glaring golden light, like a blood-soaked Vajra.
"Benefactor!!"
Xiao Feng let out an angry shout, his movent technique unfolding like a Divine Dragon swinging its tail, flashing instantly to attack a majestic figure that suddenly appeared beside Jiang Dali.
Boom Boom!!
Two thunderous explosions sounded almost simultaneously.
Jiang Dali, who had just entered the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill State, was struck by a suddenly descending fair and broad palm like grinding mill, plowing the ground, sending his seemingly immovable body shifting horizontally four or five ters, forcing the ground tiles to flip and rise.
Xiao Feng’s twin palms, executing the Divine Dragon Tail, struck the imposing figure.
However, the figure simply drew a circle in the air with another palm, and a slight yet domineering absorption force suddenly erupted, instantly devouring the two dragon-shaped energies.
"Absorption Skill?!"
Xiao Feng’s eyes widened with shock.
The imposing figure, like an astonishingly fast shadow, suddenly retreated backward, spun around, and with a ghostly presence, placed a palm over the head of the man in black.
"Stop!!"
The old eunuch shouted loudly, and in the blink of an eye, it was as though he had split into three people, attacking vital points that one must save, hitting the imposing figure quickly and ruthlessly.
Bang!
Bang!!
Two more explosive sounds erupted almost simultaneously.
In that mont.
The man in black took a fatal blow to the head, his body shook mightily, and his feet were driven straight into the stone tiles; his eyes showed disbelief and despair, bleeding profusely, his brain turned to mush, and he died a violent death.
The imposing figure, at the sa ti, inured three strikes from the old eunuch, the purple python robe he wore shattered like paper.
But the strange internal absorption force exploded from within him, instantly dissolving most of the old eunuch’s attack and even rebounding with an intense force.
Boom——
The old eunuch, already seriously injured, grunted and his figure, like a falling shadow, drew back fifteen ters, his gaze stern and venomous, fixed on the imposing figure who stood his ground.
"Why did you kill him!?"
Bai Yujing, holding his sword, stepped forward beside the old eunuch and loudly questioned the imposing figure.
The imposing figure slowly turned around, revealing a face with a righteousness and imposing aura that was still accessible, the sharpness in his eyes made others dare not look directly.
Iron Gall Divine Hou—Zhu Wushi!!
"This madman dared to attempt an assassination on the Emperor; even if he only killed a body double of the Emperor, he deserved death. By killing him, I am upholding the dignity and reputation of the Imperial Family. How could I not?"
Zhu Wushi spoke slowly, his voice deep, pronouncing each word in a way that left no room for rebuttal.
"So it’s really you! You’ve finally shown yourself. But you seem so eager to kill this man in black; could it be that he also has sothing to do with you?"
Jiang Dali stared intently at Iron Gall Divine Hou Zhu Wushi.
With these words, the old eunuch and Bai Yujing also cast cold glares at Zhu Wushi.
With a sharp and cold voice, the old eunuch sneered, "Iron Gall Divine Hou, you claim to maintain the dignity of the Imperial Family and protect the Emperor. Where have you been all this ti? And now you suddenly show up?"
"Hehehe..."
Zhu Wushi let out a hollow laugh, offered a solemn bow to the old eunuch with his fists, and said with righteous indignation, "I’m not sure which eunuch you are in the Imperial Palace, what position you ever held in the palace, as you seem quite unfamiliar.
However, since you have gone to such lengths to protect the Emperor, you must be one of the Emperor’s secretly appointed experts, and you deserve a bow from .
Indeed, I failed to protect the Emperor in ti, which is a gross dereliction of my duty. I will report the details to the Emperor and ask for punishnt later, but now is not the ti to discuss rits and faults."
Speaking thus, Zhu Wushi looked towards Jiang Dali and shouted, "Since I established Hulong Manor, I have always seen it as my life’s duty to protect the Emperor and the state. No matter how the world insults , they will never change my resolve and loyalty to the Emperor. How could you twist and slander it?"
His gaze grew more severe, "As for you, Black Wind Village Chief, you have repeatedly challenged the dignity of our Ming Imperial Family. The Emperor, not holding past grudges, invited you to serve as his protector, yet you still attempted to assassinate him, a heinous cri deserving death."
"Are you saying that I, the village chief, am dood this ti?"
Jiang Dali scoffed scornfully, "Iron Gall Divine Hou, with your ulterior motives, you couldn’t kill the Emperor and seeing the old eunuch so powerful, you held back in ti and now plan to make a scapegoat?"
"Exactly!"
Xiao Feng stepped out to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Dali, and said coldly, "I see that you, Iron Gall Divine Hou, are the top hypocrite in the world. We kindly accepted the invitation to co, but were slandered in return. You don’t distinguish right from wrong. I fear that this man in black you killed is just an assassin activated by your guilt!"
Such divisive words.
They were only thoughts in the minds of the old eunuch and Bai Yujing.
But now Jiang Dali and Xiao Feng plainly laid them out on the table.
The atmosphere imdiately took on a subtle tension.
The crisp sound of clapping hands then rang out.
It was Ye Gucheng clapping.
With a mocking smile on his proud and handso face, he said lightly, "Today really let witness the most unforgettable drama of my life.
Even if South King and I achieve nothing, you’ve shown an even bigger old fox behind South King, Iron Gall Divine Hou, you’re indeed formidable."
Zhu Wushi’s eyes turned cold, and with his hands behind his back, he said solemnly, "Since you are so determined to besmirch , I have no interest in quarreling with you. I shall take down all of you troublemakers first, and then I will beg forgiveness from the Emperor!"
Then he looked at the old eunuch and Bai Yujing, "What do you two think?"
"I think not!"
Suddenly.
A clear voice ca from outside the Fengtian Hall.
At the sa ti.
Ye Gucheng’s pupils shrank suddenly, his muscles tensed.
He felt an indescribable Sword Qi, like an invisible mountain pressing down on them.
Apart from Xin Chuixue, there could not be a second person that would give him such pressure in the Sword Dao....
