Xue Rengui's eyes widened and he immediately adjusted his Telekinesis Barrier to its maximum defense.
That sharp golden light suddenly stopped in front of Xue Rengui and revealed the original form of the King's Sword. The tip of the sword was less than half a foot away from Xue Rengui's forehead.
However, this half a foot distance seemed to be separated by half a world. No matter how much the Southern Summer King controlled the King's Sword, he was unable to move it forward.
Seeing this, the Southern Summer King hurriedly unsheathed the artifact sword at his waist and gathered a large amount of essence on the artifact sword. Then, he executed a high-grade mystic class sword technique and slashed it towards Xue Rengui with an imposing aura.
Xue Rengui also hurriedly gathered essence on his sword and executed a high-grade mystic class sword technique.
In the next instant, the two King Wu experts collided with each other. Two terrifying energies instantly exploded and formed a destructive shockwave that spread outwards, shattering the floor that was made of special materials.
Nangong Yan was sent flying by the shockwave and crashed into Lin Yun's body. The two of them were stuck together tightly.
As for Murong Tuohai, he endured the shockwave that swept through his entire body. Then, he unsheathed his artifact sword and charged towards Xue Rengui.
At this moment, Xue Rengui and the Southern Summer King were confronting each other. The artifact swords in their hands clashed against each other and their essence energy intertwined with each other, continuously shooting out devastating sword qi in all directions.
Any martial artist below the King Wu Realm would be instantly killed by the shockwave of their battle if they were to get close to the two of them.
Regardless of whether it was cultivation or essence energy reserves, the Southern Summer King and Xue Rengui were almost on par. Therefore, when the two of them confronted each other, it was very difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time.
At this moment, as long as other King Wu experts joined in, the balance would be broken in an instant.
Just as Murong Tuohai was about to rush over, another figure suddenly shot through the window and blocked Murong Tuohai's path.
He was also a Northern Yan general who was wearing a Golden Warrior uniform. His cultivation was at the second level of King Wu, which was the same as Murong Tuohai's cultivation.
The two of them did not exchange any words upon seeing each other. They immediately started fighting fiercely, and it was difficult to determine the victor in a short time.
Just like that, Murong Tuohai was delayed, unable to help the Southern Summer King.
At this moment, the heavily injured Dongfang Zhan charged forward with his spear in hand.
"Your Majesty, let me help you! rdquo;
Dongfang Zhan bellowed and rushed to the side of the Southern Summer King. The spear in his hand pierced towards Xue Rengui's forehead.
Perhaps it was because of his injuries, but when Dongfang Zhan's spear was just an inch away from Xue Rengui's forehead, it lost all momentum and came to a sudden stop. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push the spear forward at all.
"Damn it!" Dongfang Zhan's right hand held the spear, but his left hand pulled out the dagger at his waist. His eyes flashed with killing intent.
In the next instant, something unexpected happened to the Southern Summer King.
The dagger that was supposed to pierce towards Xue Rengui unexpectedly pierced into the waist of the Southern Summer King without any warning.
The Southern Summer King only felt pain in his waist. The moment the dagger pierced into his body, a strange feeling quickly enveloped his whole body.
"Father!" Nangong Yan was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but cry out.
"You …" The Southern Summer King widened his eyes in shock and stared at Dongfang Zhan in disbelief.
The corners of Dongfang Zhan's mouth slightly rose, revealing a sneer as if his plot had succeeded.
At that moment, it was as if a white light flashed in the mind of the Southern Summer King, allowing him to instantly understand everything.
It turned out that what Nangong and Lin Yun said last night was true.
It turned out that Dongfang Zhan crippling his own arm and blocking the attack for him were all a show to gain his trust.
It turned out that the true traitor wasn't Bai Yunfei, but rather Dongfang Zhan. Bai Yunfei was a loyal soldier!
"Bastard!" The Southern Summer King felt like he had been played like a monkey. With an angry roar, he sent a palm strike at Dongfang Zhan.
Dongfang Zhan didn't resist. He only allowed his body to be sent flying, sliding along the ground for several meters.
Xue Rengui took advantage of this opportunity to kick out at the Southern Summer King's chest, sending the Southern Summer King flying.
"Father!" Nangong Yan shouted as she rushed forward to help the Southern Summer King up.
"Your Majesty!" Because of this, Murong Tuohai was distracted and was struck in the chest by the sword of his opponent, causing him to stagger back a few steps.
He looked at the Southern Summer King in shock before turning to look at Dongfang Zhan. His eyes were filled with anger, "Dongfang Zhan, you traitor!" rdquo;
"Pfft!" After being helped up by Nangong Yan, the Southern Summer King immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood. He hurriedly pulled out a dagger from his waist and saw that it was dark green, clearly dipped in poison.
The Southern Summer King could feel that the poison was quickly corroding his body and would soon invade his internal organs.
"I didn't think that you would actually betray me!" The Southern Summer King was extremely regretful. He regretted not believing in Nangong's death and Lin Yun's death.
He had already been warned about Nangong's death and Lin Yun's death, but he was still skeptical. In the end, he was still deceived by Dongfang Zhan's acting.
If he had believed in Nangong's death and Lin Yun's death, he wouldn't have been so easily taken advantage of by Dongfang Zhan.
"King? Are you worthy? Is your Nangong family worthy? My Dongfang family is the true king. You are just a usurper! " rdquo;
Dongfang Zhan crawled up from the ground. It was as if he had changed into a completely different person. His face no longer had the previous respect and was replaced with a sneer of ridicule.
As soon as Dongfang Zhan finished speaking, the Silver Deputy Generals that were stuck in the wall all came out and walked behind Dongfang Zhan as if nothing had happened.
They were clearly fine. Being stuck in the wall and unable to move was just an act.
These Deputy Generals were all Dongfang Zhan's trusted aides, especially Dongfang Hao. He was Dongfang Zhan's cousin and the person he trusted the most.
Since Dongfang Zhan had rebelled, the Deputy Generals led by Dongfang Hao would naturally rebel as well.
Seeing his Deputy Generals rebel, the Southern Summer King's heart thumped. He had a very bad premonition.
Dongfang Zhan was not only the Great General of the State, he was also the Deputy Commander of the Frontline Army.
If Dongfang Zhan rebelled, even if not all of the army under his control rebelled, at the very least, his trusted aides would rebel. Although there would only be one or two thousand of them, it would be enough to threaten the stronghold's safety.
No matter how impregnable a stronghold was, it could only defend against external enemies. If an enemy appeared inside the stronghold, no matter how impregnable it was, it would still collapse on its own.
Murong Tuohai covered his bleeding chest with one hand and furiously roared at Dongfang Zhan, "Dongfang Zhan, you bastard abandoned by both man and god! If not for the Nangong family, the Southern Summer King wouldn't even be able to protect its territory, let alone have you as the Commander of the Frontline Army. And now you dare to say that His Majesty is a usurper! rdquo;
