Chapter 436: Former Brothers Become Enemies

Chu Jin was startled when he heard this, and his hand holding the long sword suddenly tightened:

"Your Highness, Xiyan is already Xiao Nanyan's wife and has given birth to his child. Why are you..."

"She should have been mine!"

Helian Feng interrupted him suddenly, his eyes filled with emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

"If Xiao Nanyan hadn't gone back on her word, she would have been my woman long ago! Now that I've ascended the throne, she should be the Empress of Tianqi!"

"But her heart is not with you."

Chu Jin retorted in a deep voice: "What's the point of forcing it?"

Helian Feng's eyes swept across the tent door, looking at the figures fighting inside, his tone was filled with a hint of desperate tenderness:

"I know she loves children. As long as she is willing to go with me, I can take Yin'er to the palace and treat her as my own. As for Yue'er,"

Helian Feng looked back at Chu Jin, with a hint of guilt in his eyes:

"I didn't intend to take him away. That was Xiao Beicheng's idea. I came here because I was afraid he would act first and report later. You should take your son and woman and leave here!"

Xiao Beicheng was listening impatiently and snorted coldly:

"Now that you're the emperor, you want to distance yourself from us? Helian Feng, don't forget, we're all tied to the same rope! Without me, would you be able to sit on the throne? Without me helping you contain Xiao Nanyan, would you be able to stand here and brag?"

Helian Feng's face darkened and he turned to glare at him:

"Xiao Beicheng, I'm talking to A Jin, it's not your turn to interrupt!"

"Oh, it's not my turn?"

Xiao Beicheng pressed on step by step:

"It's already this late, and you're still here being sentimental? If you dawdle any longer, if Xiao Nanyan arrives, everything will be in vain!"

Helian Feng's expression changed, and he ignored Xiao Beicheng and started walking into the tent.

"Xiyan, follow me!"

"Your Highness!" Chu Jin blocked his way with his sword.

"Xiyan is Manluo's good sister, no one can force her!"

Helian Feng stopped suddenly and looked at him in disbelief:

"A Jin, you must stop me? Are you going to turn against me for Zi Sha?"

"I stopped you not for Xiao Nanyan, but for you."

Chu Jin's voice was filled with sorrow:

"You were once the Crown Prince I admired. You shouldn't have been deserted by everyone for a woman who didn't love you! Xiao Nanyan and I have a grudge for killing my father. I will avenge it sooner or later, but not now, and certainly not with such despicable means."

"presumptuous!"

Helian Feng felt hurt and raised his sword:

"It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs! If that's the case, there's nothing more to talk about between us. Let's resolve this with force!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and stabbed Chu Jin in the chest with his sword.

Chu Jin sighed helplessly and swung his sword to block.

The two swords collided in the firelight, making a sharp and crisp sound. The good friends who once fought side by side had now become enemies fighting for life and death.

"Your Highness, wake up!"

Chu Jin dismantled his sword moves while shouting:

"Xiyan has never had you in her heart. If you get involved with Xiao Beicheng, you will only ruin yourself!"

"Shut up!"

Helian Feng's sword became more powerful, and each move was filled with anger:

"If it weren't for Xiao Nanyan, why wouldn't she choose me? I'm the one who can give her the world!"

"She never wanted the world!"

Chu Jin dodged the sword's edge by leaning sideways, and his long sword entangled with the opponent's long sword:

"Perhaps all she wants is a man she loves. Even if Xiao Nanyan has let her down in every way, won't she still obediently become his princess?"

"Shut up, that was taken from her by Xiao Nanyan!"

Helian Feng was enraged and swung his sword more fiercely. The tip of the sword brushed past his neck, leaving a trail of blood.

"Your Highness!"

Chu Jin put away his sword and retreated, his eyes full of disappointment:

"Your Highness, if you force her like this, you will only push her further away."

Helian Feng touched the wound on his neck, but his eyes ignited with even stronger paranoia:

"I will never let go! Today, no one can stop me!"

He raised his brows and pounced again, his sword falling like heavy rain.

Chu Jin said no more, and danced with his sword tightly, neutralizing Helian Feng's attacks one by one.

The two men fought from outside the tent to the center of the camp. The sword energy stirred up sparks and dust on the ground, mixed with the noise of firefighting in the distance. It was hard to tell whether it was a battlefield or a Shura field where former friends had completely broken up.

Xiao Beicheng watched Helian Feng and Chu Jin fighting coldly from the side, with a calculating smile on his face, as if he had already anticipated this internal conflict.

While everyone's attention was focused there, he took a few steps and returned to the inner tent.

At this time, Xiyan was fighting with Mingying and Zou Xu. Unfortunately, these two were both martial arts masters. Although she managed to hold on with her ruthless strength, she was already in a difficult situation.

Seeing this, Xiao Beicheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shook his wrist lightly. Several poisoned silver needles shot out like meteors, accurately hitting several personal soldiers guarding the couch.

The personal guards groaned, fell to the ground and twitched, and a gap appeared in front of the couch in an instant.

He took a quick step forward, picked up Yin'er with his left hand, lifted Chu Yue with his right hand, held the two children under his armpits, turned around and jumped out of the tent.

"Yin'er, Yue'er!"
