The guest was dumbfounded.
Not only the right-hand man who attacked, but also the three other right-hand men standing at the side, as well as the guards and maids who were trying their best to suppress the flames in the study room.
Even Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes widened.
"Death Flame?! He … knows the Dao of Death Flame? "
"How is that possible? That's a mutated flame, how … how did he know it?! "
"What's going on?"
None of the guards or maids could understand.
As the guards and maids of the Eastern Palace, they knew how rare the Death Flame was, because it was a Dao of Mutation.
The guest was not very powerful, only at the pinnacle of the Supernatural State. However, he still held an important position in the Eastern Palace.
Because of the Dao of Death Flame.
But now, there was someone who also had the Dao of Death in front of him. Why was there such a strange coincidence?
The same Daos, colliding.
And it was the same mutated Dao.
How could they not be shocked?
"Who are you?" The guest with the Death Flame could no longer hold it in. The Death Flame was his symbol, a symbol of his status and reputation.
But now, someone who also had the Death Flame had appeared in front of him. How could he not want to know who he was?
"Do you want to know?" The man in black's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.
The guest was stunned. He wanted to say "yes" subconsciously, but just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he immediately realized that since the other party was masked, his words were equivalent to nonsense.
If he really said it …
He would only be humiliating himself.
"Die!"
"Wait!"
Just as the guest was about to charge forward again, another guest spoke. At the same time, a hand was placed in front of the guest.
The guest was stunned. He looked at the guest who spoke.
"Let's attack together!" The guest looked at the Crown Prince, Lin Tianrong, and the guards and maids with their eyes wide open. His tone was cold.
His words were equivalent to denying the strength of the mercenary.
The guest clenched his fists subconsciously. He stared at the rising Nether Flame and bit his lips.
But soon, he relaxed his fists.
"Alright!" The guest nodded. Of course, he understood what the guest meant. He had lost. In fact, he had already lost the moment his opponent walked out of his Nether Flames.
When the other two guests saw the guest nodding his head, they did not hesitate. Their bodies lit up with different glows, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing this scene.
The guards and maids all heaved a sigh of relief.
The hangers-on of the crown prince's residence were definitely not weak. Even the weakest hangers-on among the four of them was at the pinnacle of the Supernatural State.
As for the other three …
It was Samsara!
Two Rebirth Initial Stage, one Rebirth Intermediate Stage and one Supernatural Peak Stage with the Dao of Death Fire.
With four of them attacking together, how could the enemy escape from the Eastern Palace Crown Prince's Residence? After all, there were countless guards behind the four guests.
"Prepare the bows and arrows!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong shouted.
He really wanted to capture him alive, but compared to capturing him alive, he didn't want him to escape. Therefore, he had to have a backup plan.
When the enemy escaped the encirclement of the four guests, he would use the bows and arrows as backup.
Hearing Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's words, hundreds of guards with bows and arrows on their backs walked out from the crowd of guards. Every one of them had a steel bow in their hands.
Sharp arrows were nocked on the steel bows.
These were not ordinary arrows, but specially processed arrows. They were one of the most powerful weapons in the empire. There were only three places in the entire Flame Capital that had such arrows.
The palace, Ping Yang Residence and the Eastern Palace.
…
At the entrance of the Crown Prince's Residence.
Ping Yang looked anxiously in the direction of the study. There, the fire was still raging. The entire study had been reduced to ashes. Moreover, it was spreading in all directions.
This was a strange scene.
Because Ping Yang knew the strength of the guards and hangers-on of the Eastern Palace. It would not take them long to extinguish the fire.
But …
The fire in the study was still burning.
Not only that, but countless guards were gathered in the study room, and there wasn't a scene of a manhunt like Lin Li had imagined.
"Could it be that the shameless fellow has been caught?" This thought flashed across Ping Yang's mind very quickly, but she immediately denied it in the next moment.
Impossible!
That shameless fellow was cunning. How could he be caught so easily? He should have escaped. He should have planned his escape route before setting fire to the study.
That must be it!
But, but … why wasn't anyone in the Crown Prince's Residence searching for him? If that shameless fellow had really escaped, Third Brother would have locked down the entire residence.
Why wasn't there?
Ping Yang's eyes were filled with anxiety. And this anxiety was growing.
In fact, it was not just Ping Yang. Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu and Wen Dabao had the same thought. The commotion in the study was too strange.
The expected noise did not come. On the contrary, it was much calmer. Many figures surrounded the study room as if they were waiting for something.
But, shouldn't they be putting out the fire first?
Could it be …
Fang Zhengzhi had really gotten into trouble?
…
At the entrance of the study.
The four guests finally attacked at the same time.
Three streams of light simultaneously rushed towards the black-clothed man from the east, south, and west, while in the north, a monstrous blue flame was constantly rising, ready to strike at any time.
Then, the man in black moved.
He was not as fast as the three rays of light, but he was retreating towards the north where the Death Fire was. When the three rays of light approached, he reached the guest with the Death Fire.
"You're courting death!" The guest with the Death Fire roared. If the man in black had not retreated, he would not have been attacked by the four of them.
But the man in black retreated.
So …
He could not be blamed for this.
He punched out, enveloped in dense underworld flames and carrying his humiliation, towards the back of the black-clothed man's head. He did not hold back at all.
He could imagine that if he did not die from this punch, he would definitely be knocked unconscious.
Closer, closer!
The fist was about to reach the back of the man in black's head, but the man in black continued to retreat, as if he did not notice.
"Die!" The guest with the Death Fire shouted coldly.
The fist landed on the back of the man in black's head.
Then …
There was no then.
That was because the moment the guest with the Death Flame's fist made contact, it stopped strangely, as if it had been immobilized and could not move at all.
This shocked the guest with the Death Fire.
He could not understand what was wrong with his body. Why could he not move? That kind of feeling was as if he had been imprisoned.
He could not move at all.
What was going on?
Countless thoughts flashed across the guest with the Death Fire's mind. Overpowered? Impossible. Even under the suppression of strength, it was impossible for such a situation to occur.
Then, the only possibility was …
"God …"
In an instant, a terrifying thought flashed across the guest with the Death Flame's mind. It was so horrifying that he couldn't even speak.
At this moment, he saw the man in black turn around and wink at him.
That gaze …
It was clearly a mocking gaze, as if he was looking at a retard with low IQ.
Then, the man in black disappeared.
To be more specific, the black-clothed man circled behind him and easily bypassed him. Because, at this moment, he clearly did not resist at all.
"No!" The guest with the Death Fire screamed in his mind.
However, it was clearly too late because the three streams of light had already arrived in front of him. Moreover, they had all landed on his body without any mishap.
"Boom!"
A terrifying wave of Qi rolled up.
The guest with the Death Flame stood on the spot. He didn't move, because he couldn't move at all. He could only let the three rays of light attack him.
He could not even slow down the force of the attack.
This was completely withstanding, as if there was an incomparably hard and thick wall behind him, making it impossible for him to retreat even if he wanted to endure it.
"Pfft!" Blood sprayed from the guest with the Death Fire's mouth.
The guest with the Death Fire could not believe it. But it was nothing compared to the shock and terror in his heart.
At this moment, he was certain of his thoughts.
The man in black was more powerful than him.
And not just by a little bit.
"You are …" The guest with the Death Fire wanted to tell the truth, but he could feel the energy draining from his body.
Because it was on his chest!
There was a fist, a fist that had already shattered his heart.
And the owner of that fist was currently looking at him in disbelief.
Am I going to die?
At this moment, the guest with the Death Fire had countless thoughts in his mind. He was a genius since he was young. And he had a good family background.
But his family was annihilated.
In one night, it was flattened by the army of the Empire.
From then on, he became a wanted criminal and wandered around. Until he came to the Crown Prince's residence and became a guest with a new name.
Because he knew very well who ordered the annihilation of his family.
The sixth son of the Emperor, Prince Duan, Lin Xinjue.
He did not have the ability to take revenge. So, he could only rely on someone who had the ability to take revenge for him, even if that person was just as cruel.
Even if that person killed and committed crimes.
However, he could only stand behind this person, because he was the Crown Prince. Only when he ascended to the throne would he have a chance to take revenge.
But now …
He was going to die.
He recalled his actions after he came to the Crown Prince's residence.
He had committed evil deeds for the Crown Prince and followed his orders. Like a puppet, he had gone around assassinating the courtiers that the Crown Prince didn't use. Of course, he had also gained a lot.
For example, he had kidnapped a courtier's daughter, or killed a courtier after toying with the courtier's concubine for three days and three nights.
He was addicted to gambling. No one dared to stop him from spending money like water in the Flame Capital City.
All of this was because of the Crown Prince.
But now, all of this was about to end. He could no longer avenge his family, and the sin had already descended upon him. His life had come to an end.
No one would erect a tombstone for him. No one would pity him. No one would remember his original name. Because he was just a guest. A guest who changed his name and followed the Crown Prince.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's voice rang in the guest's ears. That sharp and piercing voice made him lose the last bit of strength in his heart.
Yes …
After he could no longer help the Crown Prince kill, everything was set in stone. Even if he had helped the Crown Prince kill many people.
Useless people!
Was that his last name before he died?
"Heaven Dao. You have the Heaven Dao, yet you dared to set fire to the Crown Prince's residence. You even set fire to the study of the Eastern Palace. Only one person could do this."
The guest with the Death Flame wanted to turn around and look at the man in black.
But, he could not do it.
But …
He was already satisfied.
Because he had guessed the other party's identity, a person that everyone had overlooked, a person that everyone thought had already become a cripple.
Useless? Useless!
What a joke.
The guest with the Death Flame smiled. It was a desolate smile. He did not say the name that he had guessed, because he no longer had the strength to say it.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" The guest with the Death Flame closed his eyes. He had never expected this to be the last name he would think of before he left this world.
But, this was the last name he could think of.
"Useless, useless piece of trash, kill him!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong shouted. He did not know how the man in black did it.
However, he could see it clearly.
The man in black used the guest with the Death Flame to block the attack of the three Rebirth State guests. This shocked and enraged him.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's voice reverberated in the night sky.
Countless guards and maidservants stared blankly at the guest with the Death Flame who was slowly falling to the ground and the figure that appeared from behind him.
His black tights did not have any luster under the moonlight, but it left a slender shadow on the ground.
The three Rebirth State guests stared intently at the black-clothed man.
They did not understand why the guest with the Death Flame did not stop him, but let him get behind him instead. Moreover, he did not even try to dodge their attacks.
