With the sword in his hand, Xiao Chen's aura changed as well. It was as if a treasured sword had been unsheathed. It was unstoppable.
The Fifth Prince was talking about Xiao Chen? He was a slave that he had bought. Xiao Chen did not even have the thought of arguing with him. It was a waste of breath to reason with a scoundrel. Since the Fifth Prince wanted an explanation, he would use the Seven Feet Green Sword in his hand to give him an explanation.
The terrifying sword intent wreaked havoc, protecting Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen. The two of them were firmly protected. As for Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen did not count him in. In fact, when Chu Wuming was hesitating just now, there was already a gap between the two of them.
Pulling Xiao Chen along? He slowly walked forward. With every step that Xiao Chen took, the Imperial Guards involuntarily took a step back. Looking at Xiao Chen's back, Chu Wuming's eyes revealed a trace of struggle.
He knew that if he chose to retreat today, there would definitely be a gap between him and Xiao Chen. This gap could not be mended. In fact, Xiao Chen might even leave his camp.
He wanted to protect Xiao Chen. Even if he had to face Chu Wushuang, he would not hesitate. However, Chu Wuming was also very clear that once he stepped forward, he would fall into Chu Wushuang's trap. Chu Wushuang wanted to use Xiao Chen to drag him down. Moreover, there was still Chu Wuque at the side.
Although Chu Wuque did not step forward, once he was dragged down by Chu Wushuang, how could Chu Wuque give up on this opportunity to beat a drowning dog? Obviously, he would not.
It was because there was Chu Wushuang in the open and Chu Wuque in the dark that Chu Wuming was in a dilemma. Until now, Chu Wuming did not say a word.
Seeing that Chu Wuming had chosen to retreat, Chu Wushuang curled his lips and smiled noncommittally. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen. Since Chu Wuming didn't fall for his trap, he might as well take this opportunity to kill Xiao Chen.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Wuque's eyes, and he immediately shouted coldly, "Xiao Chen, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Putting aside the fact that you ruined Fifth Brother's wedding, now you want to publicly murder a prince?"
The moment he opened his mouth, he pinned a huge accusation on Xiao Chen's head. Murdering a prince was not a small crime. The royal family would definitely fly into a rage. Hearing Chu Wuque's words, Xiao Chen smiled coldly without commenting. He ignored Chu Wuque and continued walking forward.
Hundreds of imperial guards were forced back by Xiao Chen's sword. Seeing this, the murderous intent in Chu Wushuang's eyes intensified. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Xiao Chen is implying that he wants to murder a prince. Take him down. If he resists, kill him without mercy."
Chu Wushuang shouted. Hearing this, the hundreds of imperial guards did not obey. They were the Fifth Prince's personal guards, so they naturally wouldn't listen to Chu Wushuang. Therefore, many people looked at the Fifth Prince, waiting for his orders.
Faced with the gazes of the many personal guards, the Fifth Prince made up his mind and said, "What are you waiting for? Take this person down. If he resists, kill him without mercy."
In the end, the Fifth Prince still chose to stand on Chu Wushuang's side. There was no other way. At this point, it could be said that he had already formed a grudge with Xiao Chen. Moreover, Xiao Chen was Chu Wuming's subordinate. Facing Chu Wuming alone, the Fifth Prince was obviously not a match for him. Even though they were all princes, among the nine princes, only Chu Wuming and the other two had real power. Therefore, for his own sake, the Fifth Prince could only choose one backer, and this backer was undoubtedly Chu Wushuang.
With the Fifth Prince's order, the hundreds of imperial guards gritted their teeth and shouted angrily. They charged towards Xiao Chen.
Seeing the hundreds of Imperial Guards charging toward Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, who was following closely behind Xiao Chen, was shocked. Her expression changed drastically, but before she could say anything, Xiao Chen was already engaged in a fierce battle with the first group of Imperial Guards who rushed up first.
When the battle broke out, no one thought that things would develop to this point. However, no one present was a fool. In the face of such a muddy water, no one would be foolish enough to get involved. Everyone retreated far away to the edge of the courtyard and coldly watched the development of the situation.
Chu Wuming, who had retreated a distance away like everyone else, looked at Xiao Chen, who was wielding the Scarlet Edge Sword. His eyes were filled with hesitation. He wanted to make a move, but he did not dare to. The price was too high, so high that even Chu Wuming could not bear it.
Xiao Chen did not seem to care about the expressions of the people around him. Holding the Crimson Edge Sword, he faced the first imperial guard who had rushed up to him. Without hesitation, he raised his sword and swept it across. The crowd only saw a flash of sword light, and then the head of the imperial guard flew into the air.
He killed one person with a single strike. He did not care about the status of these imperial guards, nor did he care about the consequences of killing them. In Xiao Chen's view, since these people had attacked him, there was no need to show them any mercy.
Blood splattered everywhere as the headless corpse fell backward. Following the death of the first Imperial Guard, a massacre that shocked everyone had officially begun.
Most of the imperial guards were only at the Celestial Realm, so they were no match for Xiao Chen at all. He held Xiao Chen's hand with one hand. With one hand holding the Scarlet Edge Sword tightly, Xiao Chen slowly walked forward, reaping the lives of the imperial guards.
"How could he … how could he dare to massacre the imperial guards like this?" Seeing the imperial guards dying one by one under Xiao Chen's sword, a disciple of a big family in the distance said with a pale face.
In the Moonless Empire, regardless of whether you were guilty or not, massacring the imperial guards was already a capital offense. It should be known that the imperial guards represented the Imperial Family. They were the Imperial Family's private army, and their job was to protect the safety of the Imperial Family.
Massacring the imperial guards was the same as looking down on the Imperial Family. Such an outcome would definitely incur the wrath of the Imperial Family.
"Damn it, how dare he, how dare he do this?" Like the others, seeing Xiao Chen continuously reaping the lives of the imperial guards, the Fifth Prince was completely stunned.
Obviously, the Fifth Prince did not know that Xiao Chen was a person who did not care about anything. Xiao Chen did not care whether you were from the Imperial Family or not. If you did not cross his bottom line, there was still room for negotiation. Xiao Chen might still hold back a little. However, today, Xiao Chen had to bring Xiao Chen along with him. So, even if they were the imperial guards, so what? If they dared to stop him, he would still kill them with a single strike.
The number of imperial guards who died under Xiao Chen's sword grew more and more. Soon, there were dozens of them. The ground was filled with corpses and blood. Once again, Xiao Chen beheaded another imperial guard. At this point, the hundreds of imperial guards were somewhat terrified. Although they firmly surrounded Xiao Chen, no one dared to step forward.
Lightly flicking the blood on his sword, Xiao Chen glanced at the imperial guards in front of him and said expressionlessly, "If anyone dares to stop me tonight, no matter who it is, I will kill them with a single strike."
When these words came out, the surrounding people were completely stunned. Xiao Chen's words were simply too arrogant. According to his words, not to mention these imperial guards, even if the Fifth Prince personally tried to stop him, Xiao Chen would still dare to kill him with a single strike.
