The person holding the huge sword was a middle-aged man in a green robe. The huge sword in his hand was twice as tall as him, and his whole body was like a meteor falling to the ground.
As long as he could kill this person, it would be worth it even if he couldn't leave.
The middle-aged man thought to himself.
His eyes revealed a slight look of pity. It was a pity that he had been at the Spirit Wheel level for nearly a hundred years, and it was difficult for him to advance further. Now that his time was almost up, he wouldn't have to do such a thing.
As for the people below and Ren Baqian, they were already dead in his eyes.
However, just as his sword was about to hit the top of everyone's head, a scene that made his eyes widen appeared. That "poison warrior" actually disappeared together with another Spirit Wheel expert's Immortal-binding Rope.
"How is this possible?" The man was shocked, but the power of the huge sword increased instead of decreasing.
Xu Wei, who was coming up from below, was slashed into the ground. His bones were full of cracks, and blood was spurting out of his mouth.
His falling momentum was only slightly hindered.
Xu Wei, who was equivalent to the peak of the Earth Wheel level, was like a toddler in the face of this man's attack. He could only block it slightly before dying.
With a roar, a huge gully that was two feet wide and three feet long appeared on the ground with Ren Baqian at the center.
Xu Wei and the four guards closest to him were all dead.
After the man landed, he swept his huge sword around in a circle, and immediately, there was a rain of blood. The guards who rushed up were all swept away, and a few mounts were severed at the neck.
"You're courting death!" An ice-cold voice full of anger came from the palace wall. The empress looked at the tragic scene below with bloodshot eyes. Purple veins appeared under her skin, and her hair turned from black to red.
Although she rushed out of the palace as soon as she sensed the aura outside, she was still one step too late.
The empress pounced down from the palace wall at a speed that couldn't be seen by the naked eye. The man felt the immense power and monstrous killing intent of the empress, and he slashed with his huge sword.
The empress only slightly twisted her body in the air to avoid the huge sword and grabbed the top of the man's head with her palm.
Although the man sensed the empress's movement, he was still a step too slow. He felt a sharp pain on his head and immediately groaned.
The empress already had a handful of black hair and a bloody scalp in her hands.
"I want you to die a horrible death! I'm going to exterminate your entire clan! "The empress's voice was filled with boundless killing intent and brutality. Her figure flashed and appeared in front of the man. With one hand, she grabbed the divine weapon that was sweeping towards her and with the other, she grabbed his face. That man let out an inhuman howl.
His entire face was clawed off by the empress.
Following that, a red shadow spun around the man. The man's body was repeatedly thrown away, but he was unable to escape from the empress's shadow.
The miserable cries grew weaker and weaker.
When the empress stopped, all that was left of the man was a set of ghastly white bones. More than half of his internal organs were gone, and his flesh and blood were scattered everywhere within a radius of a hundred meters.
"Hu —! Phew! "The empress panted loudly, and the redness in her eyes didn't decrease at all. Instead, it became even more intense.
The lines on his body were also more obvious.
"Your Majesty!" A voice called out from the side. Immediately, the empress's eyes flickered with a red glow as she looked over. Her face turned even paler. Her exposed skin was covered with purple veins, making her look even more bizarre and seductive.
"Your Majesty, Sir Ren isn't among them," Tong Zhenye said carefully. Given the empress's current state, he really couldn't take a kick.
Upon hearing this, the empress's eyes narrowed slightly. The red glow in her eyes began to weaken, and the lines on her body began to fade.
"When Sir Ren was attacked just now, he suddenly disappeared." Tong Zhenye arrived a little later than the empress, and the empress took a full ten minutes to kill that man.
This was enough time for him to find out the whole story from the other imperial guards.
Upon hearing this, the empress finally calmed down. Just now, when she was on the wall, she only saw a patch of blood below and a huge gully on the ground. She didn't even dare to look for Ren Baqian's corpse.
At this moment, after hearing Tong Zhenye's words, she immediately understood that Ren Baqian had returned to Earth. This filled her with ecstasy, as if she had regained the most precious thing in her heart after losing it. Her body immediately lost most of its strength.
Just now, she thought that Ren Baqian had been attacked and killed. After all, with Ren Baqian's strength, he wouldn't even have the chance to escape from a Great Xia Spirit Wheel expert.
"It's a pity that five imperial guards died in battle, and seven were seriously injured," Tong Zhenye said with slight regret.
"Give him an extravagant burial!" the empress said after a moment of silence.
"Just now, two Spirit Wheel experts attacked, and there's still one more," Tong Zhenye reminded her.
The empress's eyes flashed coldly.
Not far away, there was another person being ganged up on.
A Spirit Wheel expert was facing four high-ranking officials whose strength was equivalent to that of a Spirit Wheel expert. Tie Yan from the Department of Inspection, Bai Shiying from the Public Order Department, Zhu Jue from the Department of the Army, and Tao Yin from the Department of Cavalry. None of them were weaker than a Spirit Wheel expert, let alone a Spirit Wheel expert who was seriously injured and whose Spirit Wheel had disappeared.
If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to keep him alive, that Spirit Wheel expert would have died a hundred times over.
At the side, Qin Chuan, Tu Wan, and the others were standing on top of the wall. At this moment, the empress's condition was too terrifying, so it was better to stay here.
Tie Yan and Bai Shiying's faces turned ashen. Someone actually tried to assassinate them in the city, and the assassin was Principal Ren. You guys are courting death, yet you still want to drag us along? The two of them had the heart to cut this person into eight pieces.
A red shadow descended from the sky and directly stepped on the shoulder of that Spirit Wheel expert, pinning him to the ground. The sound of bones breaking was heard, and blood spurted out of that person's mouth. It looked like he was going to die soon.
The empress looked at her feet and then coldly looked at Tie Yan and Bai Shiying.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone greeted in unison.
"Investigate their identities. I want to exterminate their nine generations." The empress was overflowing with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, the other person should be Zhao Jiuchuan from the Six Swords Sect in Mount Jiazi. That sword is his Heaven-grade weapon, Ju Ye," Tie Yan immediately answered. When he first arrived, he took a look and already knew who it was.
After all, someone who could condense a Heaven-grade weapon was considered a top expert in the world. It was unlikely that he was unknown.
"As for this person … I don't know if he didn't use his Heaven-grade weapon to hide his identity," Tie Yan said doubtfully.
No matter how he tried to hide his identity, he shouldn't have been beaten to death without using his trump card, right?
How did such a stupid person cultivate to the Spirit Wheel level? How did he condense a Heaven-grade weapon?
"His Heaven-grade weapon is an iron chain," Tong Zhenye said with a strange look on his face.
However, he had disappeared for some reason.
"There are only three people in the Great Xia Dynasty who are able to use metal chains to lock people up. Apart from Elder Zhu, who was killed by His Majesty, there's Qiu Yu from the Ministry of Justice of the Great Xia Dynasty. The last person is the Celestial Gathering Town of Jiuzi Mountain.
Tie Yan answered respectfully.
After all, it was impossible for Qiu Yu to appear here to assassinate the empress. Qiu Yu's appearance didn't match either. It was said that Qiu Yu had the appearance of an elegant and handsome man.
"My Immortal-binding Rope …" The man at the empress's feet struggled to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth before he breathed his last. He didn't forget the Immortal-binding Rope even before he died. It was the foundation of his life, and he still didn't understand why it disappeared.
"It's indeed Luo Zhen." Tie Yan nodded.
"The two of you!" The empress pointed at Tie Yan and Bai Shiying.
"Your Majesty, please punish us for our incompetence," the two of them said in unison.
"The two of you will receive 50 scaly whips," the empress said coldly. Even though she knew that a Spirit Wheel expert had sneaked in and the Public Order Bureau and the Department of Inspection wouldn't be able to detect it, she wasn't prepared to let it go so easily.
This kind of scaly whip was made from the tail of a beast. When it was swung, the scales on it would explode and it was extremely heavy.
An ordinary person would be badly mutilated with one lash. Even a Spirit Wheel expert would be bedridden for three days after suffering 50 lashes.
…
Ren Baqian's eyes were wide open as he panted on the ground. The power of the sword strike just now was too terrifying. It gave him the feeling that if he was struck by it, not even dregs would be left. He wouldn't even need to be cremated.
Even though the empress was in the palace not far away, the enemy's sudden attack left even the empress unable to save him in time.
Fortunately, he made a prompt decision to return to Earth.
He still hadn't recovered from the shock, and his heart rate soared to 180 beats per minute.
After a long time, he finally regained his senses and began to rub the ground. How did he bring this iron chain back?
Was this the Heaven-grade weapon that the empress mentioned?
This thing was condensed from divine sense and mental strength. Yet, he actually brought it back as if it was an actual object?
How was he going to untie it?
Ren Baqian fell into another dilemma. This thing was binding him, and he couldn't even move his fingers. Furthermore, this thing was bone-piercingly cold.
He couldn't possibly be tied up like this and return to Dayao after two and a half days, right?
He would freeze to death before he could return.
