While Xue Rengui was still in a state of shock, Shangguan Xiayan's fist punched out, hitting him squarely in the face, sending him flying back.
Seeing this, Prince Namgong waved his hand and directed the Qilin, which was made of thunder and lightning, towards Xue Rengui.
Thunder Ultimacy — Thunder Qilin!
The Thunder Qilin let out a roar and in that one ten-thousandth of a second, it fell on Xue Rengui's body like the wrath of the heavens.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a loud noise, the raging thunder and lightning energy exploded and formed a ball of lightning with a diameter of 20 meters, crushing everything it touched into powder.
The resplendent lightning illuminated the entire world. Even the sun in the sky paled in comparison.
As for Xue Rengui's body, it was directly burnt to a crisp by the dazzling lightning.
The lightning lasted for a short second, then the whole world became completely dark.
In the area where the lightning ball exploded, there was a huge pit with a diameter of 30 meters. The center of the pit was sunken for more than three meters, and the soil in the pit was all scorched, with thick smoke billowing out.
Xue Rengui's charred corpse was in the center of the pit, and there were no signs of life left on it.
"It's not easy to have someone to play with, it's a pity to kill him like this." Shanghai Xiayan looked at Xue Rengui's body reluctantly and seemed to want to continue.
Prince Namgong rolled his eyes at Shanghai Xiayan and said in a bad mood, "He is a Level Four King Wu expert. If he wasn't seriously injured and in an extremely weak state, you and I wouldn't be able to survive one move of his."
Shanghai Xiayan spread his hands without fear and said, "It's more challenging that way."
Lin Ying's body gradually regained consciousness. She slowly crawled up from the ground, her face filled with gratitude as she looked at Shangguan Xiayan and Prince Nangong, "Thank you for saving us. If you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid we would have all died here."
"I just came back from training and happened to pass by this place. So, I helped you out, that's all," Prince Namgong said arrogantly, as if he didn't need the gratitude of others.
After a short pause, Prince Namgong curiously asked, "This person isn't a martial artist of our Southern Summer. He should be someone from our enemy country, Northern Yan, right? Why is he chasing after you here? Also, what's going on with Lin Yun and the princess? "
Lin Ying told Prince Namgong and Shangguan Xiayan about his dream.
Prince Namgong and Shangguan Xiayan looked at each other in disbelief.
At this moment, a Heavenly Wind Eagle suddenly fell from the sky and landed not too far away from them.
From the back of the Heavenly Wind Eagle, an old man covered in blood jumped down. This old man was Murong Tuohai.
As soon as Murong Tuohai saw them, he immediately came down to ask about the situation. When he found out that everyone was fine and that Xue Rengui had died, he finally felt relieved.
Then, Murong Tuohai briefly explained the situation at the frontlines to them. This time, Prince Namgong and Shangguan Xiayan had no choice but to believe him.
"This matter is of great importance. We must hurry back to Royal City and bring this news back." Murong Tuohai immediately said.
Prince Namgong nodded in agreement. "Even if the frontline stronghold is broken through, Royal City has not fallen. As long as Royal City can be defended, there is still hope for the Southern Summer."
…
After Murong Tuohai returned to Royal City, he immediately requested to see the two rulers. He personally told them about the fall of the frontlines, the death of the Southern Summer King, and the last orders of the Southern Summer King.
Naturally, no one would believe such a matter of national importance when it came from Lin Ying's mouth. But when it came from Murong Tuohai's mouth, they had no choice but to believe it.
Moreover, Nangong Yan could also testify to this.
The internal and external rulers never thought that a young girl would actually see the future in a dream. They really regretted not believing in Lin Ying's words.
With the fall of the Southern Summer King and the departure of the Country Guarding Ruler, the internal ruler could only be in charge.
The internal ruler immediately announced the news of the frontlines to the public. Then, he began to deploy troops, urgently deploy strategies, and prepare weapons, talismans, potions, arrows, catapults, and other war equipment.
The entire city was under military control and the first level of alert was activated. All food was distributed uniformly, the people in the city were not allowed to go out, and all the mercenary groups were requisitioned for war.
The news of the frontlines quickly spread throughout Royal City, causing many people to panic, and the whole city was in chaos.
In just two hours, thousands of wounded soldiers escaped from the frontlines, further fueling the panic of the people.
After the frontline fortress was breached, Royal City no longer had any barriers. The Northern Yan Army marched down and directly launched an attack on Royal City. In at most six hours, they would arrive at the city.
Now that the Country Guarding Ruler was out on an expedition, the 200,000 cavalrymen of Royal City were also brought to the Northern State by the Country Guarding Ruler. It would take at least a day and a half to withdraw.
There were only 200,000 soldiers left in Royal City. Although the two rulers and the experts of the three big families were guarding, it would be difficult to resist an army of hundreds of thousands. Moreover, Northern Yan still had the terrifying Swift Leopard Cavalry.
The fall of the Southern Summer King, and the treason of Dongfang Zhan. Nangong died for the country, Nangong Ba Dao, Shangguan Leng Xue, and Hua Wu Qing, the four generals, all died for the country. The ten armies of the country were directly lost by half.
Whether it was the high officials of the court or the commanders of the military, they were all in a state of vacancy. The whole country was in a state of panic, and the situation was as precarious as a pile of eggs.
The Country Guarding Ruler was not in Royal City, and with just the internal and external rulers, it would be difficult to resist the enemy Marshal of the Warring States.
Once the two rulers were defeated, the morale of the Southern Summer King would fall to the freezing point, and there would be no hope of resisting the Northern Yan Army.
To defeat the enemy Marshal of the Warring States, they still had to rely on Lin Yun.
At this moment, in the bedroom of the Royal Palace.
The unconscious Lin Yun was lying on a jade bed.
Lin Ying and Nangong Yan were lying on both sides of Lin Yun, their faces full of sorrow and pain.
A group of elderly people were whispering to each other in the bedroom, discussing spiritedly. Each of them frowned and sighed.
The whole bedroom was shrouded in a pessimistic atmosphere.
After treatment, Nangong Yan, Hana Mio, and Murong Tuohai did not have any major problems.
Only Lin Yun was still unconscious, and his signs of life were very weak.
The injuries on his body were not caused by the enemy, but by himself.
As for the extent of his injuries, the imperial doctors were completely unable to estimate, because this degree of injury was far beyond their scope of understanding.
Not long after, the internal and external rulers both rushed to the bedroom.
"How is the situation of the Prince Consort?" the internal ruler asked anxiously.
Nangong Yan shook her head in disappointment: "He has been unconscious for a long time, and hundreds of imperial doctors have seen him. There is nothing they can do. "
