"Hahaha, if that's the case, what are you waiting for, King Duan?" Qian Wu's smile grew colder after hearing King Duan's agreement.
He enjoyed this feeling. Even though he was not a hunter who liked to toy with his prey, he was happy to witness the infighting between the Emperor and the Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Why wouldn't he do it?
"Father, I'm sorry!" King Duan gritted his teeth again, his gaze cold. "Listen up, Palace Guards. Whoever manages to kill Lin Mubai will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and ten thousand titles!"
"Whoosh!"
Following Lin Xinjue's command, the kneeling Palace Guards stood up and drew their bows to the limit.
Countless arrows were pointed at Emperor Lin Mubai, glinting coldly under the moonlight.
"Good, very good! Another unfilial son! I have been on the throne for many years and have seen countless people. Even though I have not achieved much in terms of political achievements, I do have some foresight. However, I am still unable to see through my own son! "Emperor Lin Mubai looked at the Palace Guards who had drawn their bows and felt a little lonely.
The Crown Prince had rebelled!
This was something he had known for a long time.
However, King Duan's betrayal was beyond his expectations. This was no different from stabbing a knife into his already wounded heart.
The most painful thing in life was the betrayal of one's kin and children.
But today, Emperor Lin Mubai had suffered from the Crown Prince's betrayal and King Duan's betrayal. How could he not feel the pain in his heart?
"Hahaha … I didn't expect Sixth Brother to listen to the Northern Barbarians. I have underestimated him!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's expression became slightly crazed.
Even though he had rebelled, he would never compromise and become a puppet.
However …
King Duan had compromised.
How could he not be angry and resentful?
"King Duan, are you really going to attack the Emperor?" The First Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Protection Squad, Yan Qing, was also looking at Lin Xinjue, who was standing in front of the city guards.
"Shoot!" King Duan ignored Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's words and did not answer Yan Qing's question. He only used his actions to tell everyone his decision.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"…"
Arrows rained down from the sky, drawing beautiful arcs in the air. Then, they rained down on Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua.
"Protect the emperor!"
Several rays of light shone from the bodies of the Dragon Protection Squad, forming a huge curtain of light in the air, blocking the rain of arrows.
Roar!
Roar!
Two beastly roars could be heard. Then, two huge figures pounced towards Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua amidst the rain of arrows.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
The members of the Dragon Protection Squad looked at the two ferocious beasts pouncing towards them. None of them retreated. They charged towards the ferocious beasts one after another. None of them had any thoughts of escaping.
However, they also understood that everything they were doing was just delaying the situation.
Effect?
In the past, stalling for time would have been effective.
But now …
But it was all in vain.
This was because the four gates of the Imperial Palace had already been sealed by the city guards. Without any reinforcements, even if they could buy more time, what use would it be?
"Roar!"
Under the claws of the ferocious beasts, one of the members of the Dragon Protection Squad was instantly sent flying.
At the same time, Qian Wu's gaze slowly turned towards Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang and Yan Xiu, who were getting closer and closer. A cold smile appeared on his face.
"Kill Fang Zhengzhi, and capture the other two alive!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing Qian Wu's words, a few Rebirth State black-robed men immediately understood and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Eh? It seems like you guys are going to be captured alive! "Fang Zhengzhi heard Qian Wu's words and said to Yan Xiu and Ping Yang as he ran.
"That's still better than death!" Ping Yang pouted, clearly unconvinced.
"Hmm." Yan Xiu nodded his head lightly. It was unknown if he was replying to Fang Zhengzhi's words, or if he agreed with Ping Yang's belief that it was better to be alive than dead.
"I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace. For the Great Xia Dynasty, let's give it our all!" Fang Zhengzhi spoke once again, his expression as though he was facing death with equanimity.
This voice naturally fell into the ears of the Royal Guards and the Dragon Protection Squad.
There was an ancient saying that in the same situation, even people with conflicting views would easily resonate with one another. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi's expression was so tragic.
"I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace?!"
"For the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Well said!"
Although the Royal Guards and the Dragon Protection Squad knew that Fang Zhengzhi was usually shameless, when they heard his words, the suppressed emotions in their hearts were stirred up.
After all, this was the state of mind they were in now.
Fight! Other than fighting, what else could they do!
"Charge! Fight them to the death! "
"Protect the Emperor and leave first!"
The members of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards were all pumped up as they charged at the two beasts with all their might. Some of them even charged at the city guards.
The situation of the battle seemed to have become chaotic once again.
"You're courting death!" A few of the men in black looked at the Royal Guards and Dragon Protection Squad who were once again riled up by Fang Zhengzhi. Their eyes flashed with a cold light.
With a few strides, the speed of their feet also increased.
"Wow, so fast. We can't beat these few, let's just kill a few to die with us first!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the men in black who were about to reach him and was momentarily stunned. Then, he suddenly stopped, then pulled Ping Yang and Yan Xiu and ran towards the Northern Barbarian Army behind him.
"Hmm? Stop them! "The men in black were also stunned.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi's attitude changed too quickly. Just a moment ago, he was shouting that he was going to fight them to the death, but in the blink of an eye, he was running away. Only someone like Fang Zhengzhi could do such a thing.
However, the Northern Barbarian Army behind Fang Zhengzhi was getting closer and closer. Naturally, they were not worried that Fang Zhengzhi would grow wings and fly away.
They sped up again and followed closely.
Closer, closer!
Seeing Fang Zhengzhi rush towards the Northern Barbarian Army with Ping Yang and Yan Xiu, the men in black were overjoyed, as if they saw sheep entering a pack of wolves.
"Pass down the Young Master's order, kill Fang Zhengzhi, capture Yan Xiu and Ping Yang alive!"
"Yes!" When the thousands of Northern Barbarian Army heard this, they responded in unison. One by one, they raised their shining spears and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi without stopping.
Fang Zhengzhi's footsteps finally stopped again.
At this moment, Ping Yang also took out her weapon. A crimson spear appeared, with a golden light faintly moving at the tip of the spear.
Blazing Qilin Spear.
One of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this moment, Yan Xiu also stopped. His body was wrapped in crimson light, and a vast and cold aura spread from his body.
When the men in black saw this scene, a cold smile appeared on their faces. In a few strides, they arrived behind Fang Zhengzhi.
"Die!" The men in black attacked.
Bright light shone from their bodies. As powerful individuals in the Rebirth State, they were very confident in their own abilities. Furthermore, they were outnumbered.
At this moment …
Fang Zhengzhi finally turned his head around.
Then, they saw a face with a faint smile. But that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that there was a pair of eyes on that face, a pair of eyes filled with ridicule.
"Hmm? He seems to be smiling? "
"How can he still smile at this moment?"
"Oh no!"
While the men in black were confused, they subconsciously felt a sense of danger. Then, they saw flames that covered the sky and covered the earth.
That was the flames that surged out from the Blazing Qilin Spear.
And within the flames, there was a crimson ray of light with a cold murderous intent. It slashed towards their throats.
Such an unforeseen event had undoubtedly shocked the black-clothed men.
This was because Yan Xiu and Ping Yang were obviously fighting with their lives on the line. Furthermore, they had given up on defense, and did not care about the spears of the Northern Barbarian Army.
Under such circumstances, they only had two choices. One was to fight with Yan Xiu and Ping Yang, and the other was to temporarily avoid them.
It did not take long for them to make this choice.
Because, no matter how they looked at it, they would not choose to fight with their lives on the line. Furthermore, Qian Wu had ordered to keep Yan Xiu and Ping Yang alive.
In a flash, the men in black dodged Yan Xiu and Ping Yang's attacks. Following the inertia of their charge, their bodies naturally bypassed Fang Zhengzhi and the others, and rushed into the midst of the Northern Barbarian Army.
Bright spears immediately dodged the bodies of the men in black, and at the same time, continued to pierce towards Fang Zhengzhi without any hesitation.
"Do you think that by fighting with your lives on the line, you can perish together with us? Naive! "The men in black sneered again.
"Is that so?" Fang Zhengzhi's gaze once again turned towards the men in black, a faint smile still hanging on his lips. The mockery in his eyes did not diminish at all.
And at this moment, the spears that were originally piercing towards Fang Zhengzhi all deviated. Although the thousands of Northern Barbarian Army did not stop moving.
But as if they had eyes, they completely bypassed Fang Zhengzhi.
"What?!" The black-robed men were obviously shocked when they saw this scene.
The Northern Barbarian Army actually bypassed Fang Zhengzhi?
How could this be possible!
Did they not hear the orders that they passed down on behalf of their young master? Why did they not kill Fang Zhengzhi? What was going on?
Just as they were thinking about this, the bodies of the men in black shuddered at the same time, because they all felt a wave of icy coldness.
"Oh no!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
Almost instantly, the men in black reacted. Although they did not know what exactly happened, their awareness of the danger in front of them made them realize that they had fallen into a trap.
Unfortunately …
It was too late.
The icy chill was already in front of them.
It was two daggers, two pitch-black daggers that sliced through their throats at an extremely fast speed, leaving a few streams of blood spurting out.
"Ah!"
"Damn it!"
The men in black immediately covered the wounds on their throats with their hands. As Rebirth State, their body's regenerative ability was far stronger than expected.
If not for the strange red light of the Green Dragon Eye, it would not have been able to kill them in one hit.
When they covered their wounds with their hands, the blood in their throats immediately stopped flowing. However, the cut did not immediately recover to its original state.
"There's something wrong with the daggers!"
A thought flashed through the minds of the men in black almost at the same time. Then, a terrifying force slammed into them from the side.
It was a heavy impact, as heavy as a mountain.
"There's a Rebirth State expert!"
The men in black were shocked again. Their throats were slit during the sneak attack, and they could only use one hand to stop the bleeding. Naturally, they could not use their full strength.
Under such circumstances, if the opponent was just an ordinary soldier, it would not be a problem.
But …
If it was a Rebirth State expert of the same State …
The consequences would be completely different.
"Scram!" The men in black moved their palms, and a bright light shone, sweeping towards the surrounding Northern Barbarian Army.
They needed a space, a space where they could not be ambushed.
However, the Northern Barbarian Army did not intend to give them such a space. When the light shone from their hands, a few figures appeared in front of them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"…"
This was a head-on clash of palms.
At the same time, a thick mud wall surrounded the men in black, isolating them from the shockwaves caused by the clash of palms.
"There's more than one Rebirth State expert!" The men in black slammed into each other. At the same time, the hands that were covering their throats loosened, and fresh blood gushed out from their wounds again.
"Damn it!"
"Why is this happening!"
"Who are you people?!"
The men in black clutched the wounds on their throats again. At this moment, they understood that the people in front of them were not the Northern Barbarian Army.
This was because the Northern Barbarian Army could not possibly ambush them. More importantly, there would not be any Rebirth State experts in the Northern Barbarian Army.
They were furious.
However, the other party had no intention of answering them.
At the same time, a cold chill came from behind them again. The men in black instinctively retreated, but the chill was very close to them.
"Stab!"
One of the men in black finally stopped in his tracks. His expression was extremely incredulous as he stared at the dagger that had pierced through his heart.
An ice-cold chill numbed his body.
"You … Who … Who are you?!" The man in black raised his head and looked at the figure wrapped in black in front of him, and the pair of inky black eyes under the figure.
He could not accept it, he really could not accept it.
Because in the current situation, they clearly had the absolute advantage, an unquestionable advantage.
As long as he could survive this battle, he would become one of the greatest heroes of the Northern Barbarian Empire. But now, he was going to die.
Die …
