My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
The technique of using concealed weapons is more powerful than before, and the firing distance is shorter than before.
In particular, the hidden weapons in the "Rain of Pear Blossoms" were of various kinds, and they were so dense that they almost looked like a net rushing towards Zhao Wu.
In Zhao Wu's eyes, the whole world seemed to slow down. The cluster of hidden weapons that grew larger and larger in his pupils was like the gaping maw of a giant beast.
He must devour it!
This was an extremely strong pressure. Zhao Wu finally chose to take a step back, raised his sword with both hands, and used all his strength to deliver a two-splitting sword strike!
The two broken swords had always been used for offense in Zhao Wu's hands; this was almost the first time they had been used for defense.
The broken blade cleaved down!
It fell from the sky!
Cut it in two with one stroke!
The broken blade slashed down between two members of the Maoshan Sect, without touching their bodies, but the force of the blade sent them flying. When they crashed into the walls of the passageways on either side, their bones were shattered.
The immense force of the blade exploded, blasting all the hidden weapons out of the tunnel.
Zhao Wu was focused entirely on Chen Jiudao's hidden weapons, and couldn't pay attention to Tulip anymore.
While Chen Jiudao was making his move, Tulip also joined in.
She leaped above Chen Jiudao and slowly descended in mid-air, waving her ribbons incessantly, as if performing an elegant dance.
As her dance ended, invisible auras entered the passageway and drifted into the royal camp.
Although it is invisible, it has a scent.
The taste is somewhat fragrant and a little sweet.
Zhao Wu sniffed the air, hesitated for only a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "Poisonous!"
He quickly pointed to the crowd behind him and shouted, "That poisonous woman has released poison!"
"Hold your breath! Cover your nose!!" Bai Ning shouted, quickly covering his nose.
The tulip poison was released suddenly, and with Chen Jiudao's cooperation, it was not interrupted.
But if Zhao Huan or Lian Zhongyi were here, they wouldn't have given Tulip this opportunity.
Zhao Huan was attacked at Lingshan. The assassins were Tulip and Cheng Shikong, two of the Five Evil Stars of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cheng Shikong was killed on the spot, and Tulip escaped.
The most powerful tactic of tulips is to use poison!
Even after the tulips fell to the ground, the dance didn't stop; it grew even more frenzied, with hands constantly tossing outwards as if they held an endless supply of poison.
"Blood rain carries fragrance!"
"Senior has actually mastered such a profound poisoning technique!"
Yan Xin looked at Tulip in surprise and exclaimed, "Luckily we took the antidote, otherwise we would all be dead here today!"
Tulip finally stopped, her face showing signs of weakness. She said, "This is all I can do to help... Nine Paths, Deacon Yan, he is a peak-level expert. The poison might not kill him, but it can paralyze his nerves. Quickly kill him while the poison is still active!"
With the poison from the tulips as a base, Yan Xin, despite being a top-notch expert, was not afraid of Zhao Wu. He decisively charged forward, shouting, "Brothers, kill him!"
Zhao Wu reacted extremely quickly, holding the knife in one hand and using the other to undo his belt.
Then……
He actually urinated in public!
Bai Ning looked completely bewildered and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Covering your mouth and nose with urine can help you resist poison; my master taught me that!"
"Really...?"
"Want to die? Shut up!"
Tulip stared at Zhao Wu's... well, and muttered, "It can be like this?"
Zhao Wu shook himself, and urine splashed onto his hands. But since he was going to put it in his mouth anyway, he didn't mind and didn't bother to wipe it off. He tore off the urine-soaked pant leg and covered his mouth and nose.
At that moment, Yan Xin's iron rod came crashing down.
Zhao Wu used his broken knife to block, and as he was about to slit Yan Xin's neck with his backhand, he suddenly felt a numbness in his hand, and the knife lost its strength.
Seeing this, Yan Xin struck Zhao Wu with his stick again.
"Let's see if you back out or not!"
Zhao Wu roared angrily, bent down, and used his shoulder to knock Yan Xin back.
He covered his mouth and nose and said in a deep voice, "The step I took back just now was the last step! You'll only make me take another step if I die!"
"If you don't retreat, you will die!" Yan Xin knew that the poison had already taken effect in Zhao Wu's body, so he shouted with full confidence and attacked Zhao Wu again.
Zhao Wu sighed inwardly, realizing that his strength was gradually draining away. It seemed he had been too close to the tulips, and by the time he covered his nose with urine, he had already inhaled a lot of toxins.
Sure enough, the gang members who were close behind him fell one after another. Bai Ning was a top-notch expert with stronger physical resistance, and his body also felt numb.
Bang!
Zhao Wu struggled to hold on and blocked Yan Xin's iron rod with another slash.
At the same time, Chen Jiudao made another move.
Five ghosts bring wealth!
This time, Zhao Wu had no way to avoid it. He could only protect his vitals, and his body was hit by the copper coins in many places.
Some coins got stuck in the muscles, some were embedded in the bones, and some were even pierced through places without bones!
Seizing the opportunity when Zhao Wu was hit by the hidden weapon, Yan Xin changed tactics and attacked Zhao Wu's lower body, smashing a stick into Zhao Wu's left knee.
"Ugh!" Zhao Wu groaned, his left leg sinking down, but he still struggled to keep himself from kneeling.
"Let me help you!" Bai Ning couldn't stand it anymore and came to Zhao Wu's side.
With that, Bai Ning roared at the gang members still standing behind him, "You all better hold yourselves up! Don't fall! If I fall, you take my place!!"
"yes!!!"
In his desperate situation, Zhao Wu smiled, thinking that he had risked his life for Zhao Huan and his son five times, and after so many years of peace and tranquility, he was finally about to face the sixth time.
I just don't know if they can withstand the sixth time.
Yan Xin kept attacking Zhao Wu, and his followers kept coming up to fill in for him.
