Chapter 144 The Great Battle of the Heavenly Decree Ends

"My God! What the hell is that?!"

"A monster!"

"The prince was killed by a monster!"

"Where are the people from the Heavenly Net Edict?"

"What Heavenly Decree! The Heavenly Decree is Gu Huiming's lackey! That monster is Gu Huiming!"

"What!"

"How is this possible!"

"How is that impossible! Gu Huiming is a monster! He possessed the Crown Prince! Now he finally couldn't resist revealing his demonic form!"

"My God! Chief Minister Gu is actually a monster!"

All the ordinary people were terrified by the sudden appearance of the eight legs and involuntarily retreated to find a place to hide.

Finally, the murderous aura surrounding Gu Huiming was completely absorbed, revealing his current appearance.

Eight slender legs were distributed on its sides, supporting its head and belly. It looked huge, standing at least twenty or thirty meters tall.

At first glance, you can see the fine, dense downy hair on his body and his eight bright red eyes.

He turned his eight eyes toward Shao Yanzhe, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

"Damn it! Shao Yanzhe, I never thought you'd be the one who ruined my plans in the end!"

You deserve to die!

After Gu Huiming finished speaking, he leaped toward Shao Yanzhe. At the same time, the suppressed spiders around him opened their mouths and bit at the soldiers around them, trying to devour the humans.

Shao Yanzhe remained calm. While dodging, he used his right hand to unleash a literary attack with the jade hairpin brush.

His strength is now vastly different from before. The literary energy within him is as boundless as the sea, and with the Xie Zhi seal at his waist, his literary energy can be said to be inexhaustible.

Each attack was executed with effortless ease, and streams of golden, scholarly energy surged directly into Gu Huiming's body.

However, Gu Huiming's current demonic body has strong defensive capabilities, allowing him to dodge most attacks. Only a small portion of the attacks manage to hit him, and even when they do, he doesn't suffer much damage.

Shao Yanzhe frowned slightly as he looked at him, knowing that his current attack method had to be changed, otherwise there would be no way to cause fatal damage to him.

He knew that the golden dragon above his head was suppressing Gu Huiming for a limited time, and he had to kill him within that time, or he would be killed by Gu Huiming.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the moves he had used when he killed Zhu Shi'an.

However, that move had some significant side effects. Besides Gu Huiming, Emperor Xirui was also eyeing him covetously.

If he faints after using that move, he'll be fish on the chopping block.

Shao Yanzhe glanced at Emperor Xirui and noticed that he was somehow much closer to him.

His eyes flashed, and suddenly he had an idea.

He first set up a protective shield around himself, and then began to work hard to accumulate literary energy.

Upon seeing this, Gu Huiming immediately extended his feet to attack the protective shield, attempting to interrupt it.

But at that moment, an attack was shot toward him.

He immediately withdrew his foot to avoid the attack.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the attack and saw a woman standing on the roof tiles of a building, with a boy standing behind her.

He could tell at a glance that both of them were from the fox clan, especially the woman, who, if he remembered correctly, should be the chief of the fox clan.

"I remember that the fox clan never gets involved in the battles between other clans. Aren't you afraid of the spider clan's retaliation for attacking me?"

The fox clan chief smiled and said, "What my fox clan does is none of your business. As for revenge? Heh, today I'll wipe out your spider clan."

Gu Huiming's eight eyes instantly filled with anger and violence: "You! You dare!"

The fox clan chief chuckled: "Let's see if I dare to go!"

She flicked her sleeve downwards, and countless white foxes appeared behind them, then quickly jumped down from the roof and joined the battle against the spiders.

Although the soldiers were afraid of monsters, they knew that these foxes were there to help them fight the spiders, so they were not so afraid.

With the help of the fox clan, the spiders were quickly routed.

Gu Huiming grew increasingly irritable, and his aura of hostility intensified.

However, he knew what was most important right now.

He flashed and quickly headed towards Shao Yanzhe.

But the next moment, the figure of the fox clan chief appeared in front of him.

"Get away!"

Without hesitation, Gu Huiming thrust his sharp legs toward the fox clan chief.

The fox clan chief, however, neither dodged nor avoided him, but smiled slightly at him.

Gu Huiming felt a sudden dizziness, as if a series of beautiful scenes appeared before his eyes, depicting his successful ascension to the throne and his final ascension to heaven in broad daylight.

But soon, these images were shattered.

He glared angrily at the fox clan chief, knowing that he had just been tricked.

"The fox clan's allure is indeed formidable!" he said through gritted teeth.

The fox clan chief smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Gu Huiming acted again: "Do you think you can stop me again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless fine threads shot out from his abdomen.

The fox clan chief tried to dodge, but the attack range of these spider silks was too large. She was stuck in the spider silk and couldn't break free for a while. She could only watch helplessly as Gu Huiming left her side.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly; her strength was still somewhat lacking.

Fortunately, there are now outstanding younger members in the clan. When they grow up, they will be able to support the fox clan.

Gu Huiming didn't want any more accidents to happen, so he moved very quickly, his sharp feet stabbing towards the protective shield.

The protective shield, like a layer of hard glass, collided with the feet, making a thud.

Gu Huiming increased his strength, his sharp feet attacking relentlessly, and finally, cracks appeared in the protective shield.

Just one final blow is needed to break the shield.

With a crack, the protective shield shattered completely.

Its sharp legs lunged at Shao Yanzhe, piercing through his shoulder blade with a soft thud.

Gu Huiming smelled the blood on him, his red eyes filled with excitement.

"Let's see who can stop us this time!"

Shao Yanzhe looked up, his brows furrowed slightly. His left hand gripped the foot that was embedded in his shoulder blade, while his right hand, holding the jade hairpin pen, remained motionless, his literary energy still gathering strength.

He looked up at the massive figure above, silently calculating in his mind that if he waited any longer, the accumulated literary energy would be able to inflict a severe blow on him.

But Gu Huiming wouldn't wait for him. He raised his other leg high and aimed directly at Shao Yanzhe's head.

Shao Yanzhe couldn't help but sigh; it was still just a little short.

However, there was no time for him to continue. He swung his jade hairpin pen in his right hand and smashed it down on the head of the giant spider in front of him.

A continuous stream of literary talent flowed from the jade hairpin brush.

Still a little short!

Shao Yanzhe felt regret.

Just then, he felt a sudden burning sensation on the jade hairpin pen in his hand, and realized that someone's palm was pressed against the back of his hand.

Beside him, three familiar figures seemed to appear indistinctly.

Noticing his gaze, the three figures nodded slightly and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, we're here to help you."

As soon as the ethereal voice faded, Shao Yanzhe realized that the missing piece had been made up.

Gu Huiming tried to dodge, but his foot was planted firmly on Shao Yanzhe's shoulder blade, leaving him no way to avoid the impact. He could only watch helplessly as the massive literary energy crashed down upon him.

"No!" he roared.

"No!" It seemed that another voice, different from Gu Huiming's, also roared in the same way.

Immediately, his massive body disappeared into the golden aura.

Everyone present involuntarily squinted their eyes; the radiant golden aura seemed to them to be another sun.

When the dazzling gold faded, everyone opened their eyes and couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Huiming's massive body was reduced to just a head and a small part of his abdomen. Bright red blood flowed on the ground, and fragments of flesh could be faintly seen, making the scene extremely gruesome.

He is not dead yet; he still has two legs attached to his sides and is struggling to stand up.

Because of the attack just now, Shao Yanzhe's internal energy was completely depleted. He is only able to stand up now because of the foot that is embedded in his shoulder blade.

It can be said that both sides are now at their last gasp.

“You’re quite good, but compared to me, you’re still a little lacking,” Gu Huiming said with difficulty.

He slowly walked towards Shao Yanzhe, his remaining red eye filled with murderous intent.

Shao Yanzhe wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled gently at him: "I am indeed a little lacking, but compared to you, I have a very good partner."

He had barely finished speaking when he shouted, "Go!"

The next moment, a black figure rushed towards Gu Huiming like a black lightning bolt.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Gu Huiming heard a crack as his two remaining legs broke completely, rendering him unable to walk.

He looked at the black cat walking towards him, and fear suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"No! You can't kill me!"

"If you don't kill me, I will leave this place and give you all the treasures I've accumulated over the past thousand years!"

Shao Yanzhe remained unmoved; he would never do something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountain.

“Kill him,” he said to Xuan Yao.

"Meow!" Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Yao opened his mouth and bit down on Gu Huiming's head.

With a series of snapping sounds, a large hole was bitten into Gu Huiming's head, and he lost all life.

The thousand-year-old spider demon, the Grand Secretary Gu who served three dynasties, thus perished.

Xuan Yao retrieved Gu Huiming's demon core from his corpse and handed it to Shao Yanzhe.

"I don't need this, you can keep it!"

Xuan Yao did not refuse and temporarily stored it on himself.

"Your Majesty! Waaaaah! Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

At this moment, the chief eunuch's cries rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Only then did they realize that Emperor Xirui was lying on the ground, with a section of Gu Huiming's demonic body's foot stuck to his chest.

Clearly, Emperor Xirui was extremely unlucky, accidentally caught in the aftermath of the battlefield and becoming an innocent bystander.

Anyone who saw the current state of Emperor Xirui couldn't help but sigh at his terrible misfortune, dying before dawn.

Fortunately, Emperor Xirui had already written an abdication edict and installed a successor before his death.

Thinking of this, the court officials all turned their gazes to Shao Yanzhe, their eyes gleaming, clearly plotting something.

Noticing their gazes, Shao Yanzhe turned his head and smiled gently at them.

Now that we've dealt with Gu Huiming, let's clean up the rest of the mess too!
