With a wave of his hand, the Grand Elder, whose eyes were wide open and face was filled with disbelief, threw himself behind Zhuge Chi. A blind eunuch caught him and quickly floated away, disappearing along with his corpse.
Only the blind eunuch remained behind Zhuge Chi, his hands clasped behind his back.
Zhuge Chi's eyes were still murky as he stood under the eaves, calmly looking at the other two Grand Elders of the Cloud Tool Sect.
The two Grand Elders were also quite shocked. Could it be that their fellow disciple had been careless?
Naturally, the two of them couldn't just give up. One of them flashed forward again, not daring to be careless again.
"Be careful!" Another Grand Elder who was staring at this side suddenly shouted. At the same time, his eyes were filled with shock.
With the lights out, ordinary people might not be able to clearly see what had happened under the eaves, but cultivators with discerning eyes were able to clearly see what had just happened at such a close distance. Furthermore, it wasn't just pure darkness, there was also the sun, moon, and stars.
The Grand Elder who dodged the attack suddenly realized that the old eunuch in front of him had disappeared. Hearing the reminder, he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He only felt a sharp pain in his back and chest. His chest felt cold. Looking down, he saw a bloody hand coming out of his chest, holding a heart in the palm.
He could see that the heart in the palm was still beating. Finally, it was squeezed by the five fingers until it exploded with a "pop" sound.
At some point, Zhuge Chi had appeared behind him, his hand piercing through his back. With a wave of his hand, the person hanging from his hand fell forward.
The other blind eunuch caught the person who had pounced on him and floated backwards, dragging away another Grand Elder of the Cloud Tool Sect. It was unknown where he intended to take them.
Zhuge Chi turned around, his murky eyes staring at the last Grand Elder of the Cloud Tool Sect.
The Grand Elder who was being stared at was so shocked that his heart was in turmoil. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
If the first fellow disciple had been careless, then the second fellow disciple was already on guard and couldn't have been careless. If he still didn't know that he had encountered a true expert, then he would have lived all these years in vain.
Just what was this old eunuch's cultivation? He didn't dare to think about it any further, because he had already been targeted by the other party.
The other party was terrifyingly powerful. His two fellow disciples were completely helpless against him!
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were no experts guarding the palace, but it was no longer possible for them to come and go as they pleased. Not daring to stay any longer, they shot up into the sky.
The cultivators guarding the courtyard, as well as the cultivators who had rushed over to help, were all stunned by the scene.
The lantern fell to the ground with a clatter, and Zhuge Chi moved. His figure disappeared in a flash, but he did not chase after the fleeing assassin. Instead, he flashed around the Empress Dowager's palace like a phantom.
Screams and screams filled the air. No one managed to escape. None of the cultivators who had witnessed Zhuge Chi's attack were spared.
When the last person was sent flying and his head was smashed to the ground, the person who shot him down was like a wisp of strange green smoke that shot into the starry sky of the night.
Zhuge Chi was nowhere to be found, but there were dozens of corpses of cultivators, as well as the bodies of palace guards, eunuchs and palace maids.
Regardless of whether they were on his side or not, as long as they saw him make a move, they were all killed by him, leaving no one alive.
The whole thing happened very quickly.
From the Empress Dowager to the servants, everyone was so frightened that they shrank in the room, not daring to breathe loudly. They still didn't know what had happened outside.
When a group of people and cultivators arrived, they also didn't know what had happened. They only saw corpses all over the ground and thought that they were killed by the three experts.
When everyone entered the house and saw that the Empress Dowager, Shang Youlan, and the others were safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief …
In the night sky, the Grand Elder of the Cloud Tool Sect who had just escaped fled as fast as he could. He didn't have time to care about the disciples of the Cloud Tool Sect who had followed him into the palace of the State of Zhao. There was actually such a terrifying existence in the palace. If they didn't escape now, none of them would be able to escape later.
A strange sound came from behind him. He turned around and saw a figure flying towards him under the moonlight.
The other party's flying speed had already made him feel uneasy.
When the other party got a closer look, he was so shocked that his hair stood on end. His intuition was right, it was that old eunuch.
In comparison, as long as one wasn't stupid, one would know that it was basically impossible to escape the old eunuch's pursuit in the air.
He immediately dove towards the ground, hoping to find an opportunity to escape with the help of the terrain.
The old eunuch, who had been chasing him, tilted his body and shot away like a meteor.
From the looks of it, the other party would be able to catch him in midair before he even landed. The Grand Elder of the Cloud Tool Sect fluttered his sleeves and hurriedly took to the air again to escape.
The old eunuch shot diagonally into the air, like a sharp arrow shooting at a bird.
The Grand Elder was close to despair because he could clearly see the gap between the two of them. He had broken away from the low-level gliding state of a cultivator and could use Qi Kinesis Flight, but it wasn't on the same level as the other party's Qi Kinesis Flight.
The reason why the strange sound could be heard when the other party was flying was because he was speeding up in the air.
As the two of them closed in on each other, the Grand Elder flipped his hand and produced a Heavenly Sword Talisman. A huge sword aura shot out with a rumble and charged towards the old eunuch.
In an instant, Zhuge Chi's old eyes were no longer cloudy. Instead, they shone brightly. His hunched back was no longer hunched, and he displayed a different aura of fighting the heavens and fighting the earth. He seemed to have become much younger. His sleeves fluttered in the wind and five claws shot out from his sleeves.
Boom! There was a loud rumble in the air.
The Heavenly Sword Astral Shadow crumbled. It was destroyed by the five claws that shot out from the sleeves.
The Grand Elder felt even more despair. The twelve huge Heavenly Sword Astral Shadows shone brilliantly and all of them were unleashed one after another, focusing on a single point to attack the old eunuch.
They crumbled, crumbled, and crumbled again. The twelve Heavenly Sword Astral Shadows quickly crumbled.
Zhuge Chi was like the Dragon Conqueror of the Nine Heavens in the face of the huge Heavenly Sword Astral Shadows. His sharp claws subdued and destroyed the huge dragons one after another. It was as if he broke through bolts of lightning.
The dazzling light stopped. The rumble was still reverberating in the air. The Grand Elder flew into the air and shouted, "Who are you? Which Supreme Martial Artist has come personally? If it really is that Supreme Martial Artist, I want to know what I have done wrong in the Misty Pavilion. What have I done wrong? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly? "
"Supreme Martial Artist? I've never seen him before, and I don't want to see him. That is why you must die! "Zhuge Chi, who had broken through the layers of Heavenly Sword Astral Shadows, said as he caught up to the old eunuch.
The Grand Elder grabbed two huge Hammer Astral Shadows from thin air. He swung the hammers with both arms at the old eunuch who was charging at him.
The old eunuch swung his sleeves to the left and right. He lifted the heavy hammers as if they were light. His palms caught the huge Hammer Astral Shadows that were coming at him, and he seemed to have gently pushed them away.
The Grand Elder could not hold on any longer. He felt a huge force coming at him, and his arms that were swinging the hammers bounced off.
The two Hammer Astral Shadows split to the left and right, leaving the middle open. Zhuge Chi was already in front of him. The two of them were not on the same level at all.
High up in the sky, a strong wind blew in all directions. The two Hammer Astral Shadows lost control of their mana, and they lost their mana. They gradually dissipated until there was no trace of them left.
The Grand Elder, who had his arms wide open and his palms clenched, suddenly burst out of his back. A claw pushed out from his back and accurately grabbed his heart from his chest. The bloody heart was still beating in the claw.
He looked at the expressionless old eunuch who was standing face to face with him, and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
His chest hurt, and blood seeped out. The old eunuch's hand had clearly stabbed into his heart.
His face twitched. After years of practicing the Fiery Golden Body Technique, his body could be said to be invulnerable. Even if he were to face a rain of arrows from an army of thousands, he would still dare to charge forward. This was one of the reasons why the Jin Kingdom was so strong, and also the reason why they dared to rob the Zhao Kingdom's palace.
However, his invulnerable body was like a piece of paper in the hands of the old eunuch. At the very least, it was no different from other people's bodies of flesh and blood. It was easily pierced by the old eunuch.
He was not the only one. The two brothers he saw with his own eyes had also fallen at the hands of the old eunuch.
He raised his head to look at the old eunuch. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said with a bitter expression, "Nascent Soul realm! You are a Nascent Soul cultivator! "
Pop! The claw on his back crushed his heart, which was still warm and pulsing with blood. Flesh and blood splattered in the air.
However, the heart no longer had anything to do with him. Even if it was crushed, he would not feel anything. However, his voice quickly became weak. "Who are you?"
There was no answer. The claw that had stabbed into his chest was pulled out.
The two sharp claws moved like a phantom, tearing the man and his clothes into pieces.
Pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere. Zhuge Chi's hands trembled slightly, and the blood on his hands turned into a bloody mist.
He did not linger. He fell backwards, facing the starry sky. With a flip of his body, he faced the vast land and flew in the direction of the capital.
Things had ended very quickly, but the chaos in the palace had not ended. One had to admit that the disciples of the Cloud Implement Sect were indeed very powerful. It was also true that there were no true experts in the Zhao Capital's palace.
To the three major sects of the Kingdom of Zhao, at this point, the imperial power was nothing. The lives of the people in the palace were no longer the most important thing.
They wanted to gather their strongest forces to win this battle.
If the people in the palace were gone, they could still replace them with another group of people. However, if the foundation was gone, then there would be nothing left. Protecting the people in the palace would be meaningless to the three major sects of the Kingdom of Zhao.
At the level of the three major sects, they had always made a clear distinction between what was important and what was secondary. Perhaps it was a little cruel, but this was a reality that they had to face. Whether or not they could accept it personally was not important to the interests of a large group of people.
However, this was only a surprise attack by the Cloud Implement Sect. There were not many people who came, and they could not mobilize too many people from the Kingdom of Jin in such a short time. Moreover, the three top-notch experts who came had mysteriously disappeared. The guards in the palace were not just for show. In the end, the assassins were outnumbered and destroyed.
More people were deployed in the palace, and the security was strengthened.
