This was under the condition that His Majesty's body had been carefully nurtured by Yun Yang and was in a good condition. Otherwise, this moment of great joy and sorrow could trigger his original illness and cause him to succumb instantly!
Even so, His Majesty's body could not help but sway, and his face was deathly pale.
This …
Could it be …
Among the Nine Supremes, the few who were ranked at the back were not old in age and those who might have families were only the few who were ranked at the front.
Could it be … his son's … family?
Instinctively, His Majesty thought in this direction.
In the air, the wind howled and the voice was filled with extreme resentment.
"Someone must pay the price for this! And Jiang Zhong will be the first among those who will have to pay the price! "
"Jiang Zhong, the remnant of the Four Seasons Tower!"
As the words left his mouth, His Majesty's heart jolted once again.
He raised his head abruptly.
His gaze that was fixated on Jiang Zhong was filled with chilling intent.
"Your Majesty … Don't believe it … This old servant is innocent …" Jiang Zhong cried out anxiously.
His Majesty said faintly, "Jiang Zhong, if you give up resisting immediately and surrender, I promise to give you justice! How about that? "
His Majesty's words seemed to have created an opportunity to turn the situation around, but in fact, it was equivalent to another lethal move being imposed on Jiang Zhong.
How could Jiang Zhong dare to give up resisting now?
Others might not know Yun Yang's thoughts but how could he not know?
If he gave up resisting, he would really be finished. There was no doubt that he would die!
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Zhong tried his best to resist and was extremely aggrieved, "This old servant is really innocent!"
His Majesty's expression did not change but a cold glint flashed across his eyes. "If you're really innocent, as long as you surrender, I can guarantee that you'll be fine. Supreme Wind will never kill the innocent. "
"Justice is in the hearts of the people. Black and white cannot be determined by force. Everything only needs to be said clearly and the truth will come to light. Why make such a big fuss and waste your energy?"
His Majesty said leisurely, "I have given you a chance by opening my golden mouth. If you're innocent, no one can hurt you. You're still my Minister of Imperial Household! On the other hand, if something really happens to you, no one can protect you! "
He lifted his head to look at the howling wind in the sky. "Supreme Wind, does my promise count?"
Amidst the whistling of the wind, Supreme Wind's voice rang out, "His Majesty is the ruler of a country. His Majesty's guarantee is, of course, invaluable! A promise is as heavy as mountains and rivers! "
The king's heart sank even more.
It was obvious that Supreme Wind had complete trust in him.
Did it not mean that there was something wrong with Jiang Zhong, that he was a spy from the Four Seasons Tower?
Jiang Zhong's body was still spinning, leaving a trail of afterimages as he slowly eliminated Yun Yang's chain of saber energy. He said hoarsely, "Your Majesty, it's not that this old servant doesn't trust you … but Supreme Wind is too aggressive, this old servant can't stop … I really can't …"
His Majesty's face turned cold.
His cold eyes looked at Jiang Zhong who was dodging in the air and shouted, "Men, take down Jiang Zhong!"
Jiang Zhong shouted, "Your Majesty, this old slave has served you loyally for decades. Even if I don't have any meritorious service, I should at least have some hard work, right? Don't tell me you don't care about our past relationship? Are you going to erase this old slave's lifetime of hard work just because of a sentence from someone you don't even know? "
His Majesty said coldly, "I've given you a chance, I've even given you a promise, but how did you do it? Your actions are in front of everyone's eyes, what else do you have to argue for? "
Jiang Zhong suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha … I see. I've followed Your Majesty for a lifetime, but I can't even get the slightest bit of pity from Your Majesty. If so, what hope do I have? Forget it, since I didn't have eyes to follow such a master, I really have a right to die. So, even if I die, what's wrong with me? "
Before his voice could echo in the air, Jiang Zhong's high-speed movement suddenly halted and he dropped to the ground. He stretched out his arms, looking like he was ready to be captured and be trampled upon.
His face was filled with despair, showing his disheartened heart and his desire to die.
Everyone present was surprised to see this.
Was he really going to be captured without putting up a fight?
Jiang Zhong stretched out his arms, his eyes looking in the direction of His Majesty in despair as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, a master for a day, a master for life. This old slave is leaving now, you must take care of yourself in the future!"
Before his words could echo in the air, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard from his hands. Between the flashes of lightning, Jiang Zhong gritted his teeth and raised his palm to smack his own head.
At this moment, His Majesty, who had witnessed the scene of Jiang Zhong covering his own head, could not help but feel a jolt in his heart. A thought of 'Could it be that I've really wronged him?' suddenly rose in his mind.
When he saw Jiang Zhong smack his own head, with a soft crack, fresh blood spurted out from his five senses and seven orifices. His body swayed and slowly fell to the ground.
His Majesty was even more shaken, he could not help but take two steps forward. Even the guards who had been ordered to capture him had stopped in their tracks.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Jiang Zhong's body that had fallen into a pool of blood, their hearts filled with an indescribable confusion.
Proving one's will with death?
Could it be that His Majesty had really wronged him?
Or could it be that Lord Supreme Wind had wronged him?
Just like what he had said, he had followed His Majesty loyally all his life. How could he end up like this in his old age?
It was truly chilling.
However, at this very moment …
A shout came from the air, "Be careful!"
Along with that warning, a sharp whistling sound suddenly appeared in the field. Jiang Zhong, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly turned into a stream of light. With the power to cut through the air, he instantly broke through the obstruction of the eight guards in front of him and rushed towards His Majesty's position.
Both palms came in a menacing manner, like giant rocks that could split a mountain.
Jiang Zhong knew that he would never be able to escape with his own strength. Even though he was not weak, facing the tight encirclement of the imperial guards who were as numerous as the clouds, only death awaited him.
Therefore, he had put in so much effort to put on a tragic act of suicide and then waited for the right opportunity to attack the Emperor.
This was the only way out.
Only by holding the Emperor hostage would he have a trump card in his hands and be safe.
As for the rest, he would think about it after he had this trump card in his hands.
This sudden turn of events could be said to be beyond anyone's expectations!
A person who had just died, a person who everyone had watched commit suicide, had actually launched an attack.
This itself was already an extremely unexpected turn of events.
Not to mention that the speed of the attacker's attack had far exceeded the scope of everyone's understanding.
Jiang Zhong's act of self-mutilation was not an act. The blood that flowed out of his seven orifices the moment he was struck was the activation of a secret skill, temporarily elevating his strength to a level that surpassed the limits of his strength. Jiang Zhong himself was already a cultivator at the peak of the ninth peak. Now that he had made a breakthrough, his strength had skyrocketed to the level of Tenth Perfection. His strength was so powerful that it was enough to surpass everyone present!
He was already close to His Majesty, and with just a wave of his hand, he would be able to control His Majesty as he wished.
Swoosh!
A green shadow of wind fell from the sky abruptly. It was like a meteor falling from the sky.
Even though everyone else had been careless, Yun Yang would not be careless.
He had always known that the Four Seasons Tower's men would not seek death so easily.
Furthermore, this old man's cultivation base was extremely strong, and he was not in a desperate situation. How could he commit suicide so easily?
Therefore, he had long been secretly on guard against the other party's tricks.
At the moment when Jiang Zhong made his move, Yun Yang moved at the same time.
Even though Jiang Zhong had activated his arcane skill and his cultivation base had temporarily reached the state of Tenth Perfection, his speed was still slower than the wind, faster than Yun Yang.
A green whirlwind that seemed to have materialized out of thin air blocked the path between His Majesty and the attacking Jiang Zhong.
At the same time, the piercing saber light that was like thunder and lightning once again surged out like the tide, pouring down in torrents.
Boom!
The force of Jiang Zhong's palm strike landed on the dense web of sabers cast by Yun Yang with an earth-shattering force.
The green whirlwind scattered in an instant.
Yun Yang's cultivation base was already far inferior to Jiang Zhong's, not to mention that Jiang Zhong's cultivation base had already reached the state of Tenth Perfection. With such a forceful impact, the stronger one would win while the weaker one would lose. There was no trick at all. How could Yun Yang not be defeated?
However, Yun Yang's struggle was only a thin line. Although Yun Yang's saber web had collapsed, Jiang Zhong had also taken a step back due to the impact. It was only a step's difference, but Jiang Zhong had lost the initiative.
Jiang Zhong's plan had failed. He knew that things were not looking good and roared furiously, "Supreme Wind! You should have died long ago! Why? Why? "
The numerous guards and experts around His Majesty the Emperor had seized the opportunity to rush out.
At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with shame and anger.
There were so many of them here, and the conclusion had already been made, but they were almost deceived by the old eunuch in front of them!
Everyone's shameful anger was unprecedented. It was obvious that everyone had the intention to kill Jiang Zhong. If they did not kill this bastard, how could they vent their anger? How could they get rid of this layer of humiliation?
The sound of the wind, which had already faded away, actually began to howl and spiral again. Green light and shadows were rapidly gathering in all directions!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Countless Deicide Bows' bowstrings exploded, targeting Old Eunuch Jiang.
Jiang Zhong, who was heavily surrounded, struggled desperately, counterattacked, and dashed left and right. He looked miserable.
However, the mistake just now had made the guards extremely ashamed, and at the same time, they were extremely furious. Each and every one of them was ready to fight with their lives on the line.
Even though one figure after another was sent flying by him, more people pounced forward without a care for their own safety.
Poof!
Jiang Zhong's chest was hit hard by the leader of the guards. As he staggered backward, the wind suddenly howled and a cold gleam flashed.
Yun Yang's saber struck out swiftly.
Merciless Blade!
The skill of heaven's way had appeared in the world once again. Even Venerable Lord Saber would be stained with blood, let alone Jiang Zhong!
Jiang Zhong saw that the incoming attack was unprecedentedly powerful. With a roar, the mystical Qi of his entire body exploded to the limit. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
There were more than a dozen saber wounds on his body. Blood spurted out like thin lines.
Merciless Dao!
Yun Yang's saber light flashed and fell once again amidst the green gale.
Jiang Zhongyou wanted to dodge, but he was surrounded by countless saber lights and sword shadows, and there was not a single gap for him to escape. He gritted his teeth and landed on the ground.
With a heart-wrenching cry, Jiang Zhong spat out another mouthful of blood. His aura that had gradually weakened due to the siege rose again! This time, it was the Art of Soul Ignition!
It was the second time!
