Chapter 1370 My blade is not dull yet!
Chapter 1370 My blade is not dull yet!
Following his order.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of heavy scraping sounds of armor suddenly rang out from all directions of the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
Thousands of Imperial Guard soldiers, clad in heavy armor and wielding long spears, surged into the palace like a tidal wave!
They instantly surrounded the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, making it completely impassable!
The cold, sharp point of the spear gleamed with a terrifyingly cold light under the illumination of the palace lanterns!
A chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire hall!
The civil and military officials in the hall were all terrified by this sudden and earth-shattering change; their faces turned ashen and their souls seemed to have left their bodies.
They couldn't imagine it.
This King Cheng is incredibly audacious!
He not only dared to openly force the emperor to abdicate, but he even laid an ambush with troops in advance!
This is a rebellion!
"King Cheng! You've gone mad!"
Zhang Jianzhi pointed at him, trembling with anger, unable to utter a single word.
"I'm not crazy."
King Cheng sneered, looking at the civil and military officials who were already terrified, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"I'm just taking back what rightfully belongs to the Murong family."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze once again to the dragon platform, to the man and woman who, in his eyes, were no different from the dead.
"Lin Zhen, Murong Yan, I advise you to surrender obediently, or don't blame me for the fact that swords have no eyes!"
His threatening words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
They knew that today this place would likely be awash in blood.
At this tense moment, when swords were about to be drawn and war was imminent.
The man, surrounded by thousands of imperial guards, let out a cold laugh.
He looked down at the King Cheng, who in his eyes resembled a clown, his deep eyes filled with undisguised contempt and...pity.
"Someone from the Murong family? You dare to use the Murong surname?"
Lin Zhen's voice boomed in Cheng Wang's ears.
The smile on King Cheng's face froze instantly.
Where does his confidence come from?
"You're about to die, and you still dare to be stubborn?"
King Cheng's face was contorted with extreme rage.
"I'd like to see how long you can keep smiling on that pretty face!"
He suddenly waved his hand and issued the order.
"Attack them! Kill them! Chop the men up and feed them to the dogs! The women... spare them!"
His eyes were filled with a greedy possessiveness as he stared intently at the stunningly beautiful woman on the dragon platform who was quietly watching his performance.
"As ordered!"
Thousands of imperial guards let out a deafening roar!
They raised their long spears and, with heavy steps, surged towards the two figures on the dragon platform like a black tide of death!
A murderous aura instantly soared into the sky, and the entire Taihe Hall seemed to tremble violently under its influence!
Finished!
These two words simultaneously popped into the minds of all the civil and military officials. They closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
Just as that black tide of death was about to engulf the Dragon Platform at the critical moment.
A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out.
"Who dares to step forward!"
"die!"
The sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in the eardrums of every Imperial Guard soldier.
That voice contained a terrifying killing intent forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
The hundreds of Imperial Guards soldiers at the forefront were all stopped in their tracks by the murderous aura, their momentum abruptly halted.
They looked up in horror.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beneath the Dragon Platform.
The man was tall and strong, with a resolute face. His black general's armor still bore traces of blood that had not yet dried. He was none other than General Yue Fei.
He didn't draw his sword; he simply took a step to the side, like an unshakeable iron tower, firmly blocking the thousands of imperial guards and the Dragon Platform. Behind him was his king, his emperor, and in front of him were thousands of troops.
"Yue Fei?"
King Cheng stared at the man who dared to block his army of thousands single-handedly, and was first taken aback. Then, a smile full of disdain and mockery appeared on his face.
"Who do we have here? It's you, you brute! What? Li Jing is dead, and you, the great general, want to go down with him? Yue Fei, I respect you as a hero. Get out of my way now, and I might spare your life! Otherwise, don't blame me for making Li Jing keep you company on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
King Cheng's words were extremely malicious.
He wanted to use Li Jing's death to provoke Yue Fei and shake his resolve.
However, Yue Fei's face remained completely calm. His hawk-like eyes stared silently at Prince Cheng, as if he were looking at a pitiful wretch who was already dead.
“Traitors and rebels should be punished by everyone.”
Yue Fei spoke slowly, his voice as steady as a mountain.
"With me here today, none of you will be allowed to harm a single hair on the head of the Prince or His Majesty."
After saying that, he slowly drew out the horse-slaying sword that had accompanied him for half his life and had drunk the blood of countless enemies.
"Changlang——"
A clear dragon roar resounded throughout the hall.
The blade was like a pool of autumn water, reflecting a cold light under the illumination of the palace lanterns. On the blade, a righteous aura, solid as a substance, soared into the sky. That righteous aura was extremely strong and yang, full of loyalty, righteousness, courage and fierceness!
It actually dissipated some of the foul and malevolent aura emanating from all the Imperial Guards present, which was a product of slaughter and desire!
"Unbelievable!"
King Cheng looked at Yue Fei, who was attempting to single-handedly confront his thousands of troops, and a cruel and violent smile appeared on his face.
"Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish! Go and take Yue Fei's head! Whoever can take Yue Fei's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and promoted three ranks!"
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
Those Imperial Guards soldiers who were initially intimidated by Yue Fei's imposing manner were instantly ignited by an even more insane greed in their eyes after hearing these words!
They roared and brandished their long spears, like a horde of demons rushing madly at the man who, in their eyes, was already equivalent to a fortune of gold!
"kill--!"
The deafening shouts of battle instantly engulfed the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony!
He watched as thousands of imperial guards surged toward him like a black tide.
Yue Fei showed no fear whatsoever; he simply raised his saber slowly.
A glint of a soldier's burning fighting spirit flashed in those hawk-like eyes.
He hadn't had such a satisfying and exhilarating battle in a long time.
"Well done!"
A thunderous roar!
He moved.
No fancy moves, no dazzling skills, just a simple step forward and a slash!
Pfft——!
The dozen or so Imperial Guards soldiers at the forefront didn't even have time to see how he drew his sword before they felt a chill on their necks, and a dozen huge heads flew into the air!
Hot blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck!
The entire white marble floor was stained a shocking crimson!
One slash, and more than a dozen people died!
The terrifying sight caused the Imperial Guards soldiers who rushed forward to halt abruptly in their tracks!
Yue Fei gave them no time to think.
He was like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, his cleaver transforming into countless arcs of death that reaped lives!
With each strike of his blade, he took several lives, the corpses piling up higher and higher beneath his feet, his body already stained with the blood of his enemies.
But his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his fighting spirit intensified!
"Hahahaha!"
He let out a burst of hearty laughter!
"Happy! So happy!"
With a single stroke, he cleaved a Imperial Guard captain who was trying to ambush him from behind in two, armor and all!
Then, he plunged the saber in his hand into the mountain of corpses piled up from countless bodies. His hawk-like eyes swept over the Imperial Guards around him, who had been terrified by his killing and dared not take another step forward.
The sound was like a booming bell, making the entire hall resonate.
"My blade is not dull yet!"
"Who dares to take another step forward!"
