I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
786 Why ask the Holy Emperor if I'm going to kill you?
Pedestrians on the road hurriedly made way for each other, as if they were welcoming an impending storm.
Amidst the commotion, a noble young man rode in on a tall horse, dressed in fine clothes and exuding arrogance.
His clothes were magnificent and brightly colored, but his face was pale. His face was filled with disdainful arrogance, his eyes flashed with a rampant light, and his expression was fierce, as if he were the master and someone had angered him.
Six guards followed closely behind him, each carrying a long staff and a thin knife at his waist. They all had fierce expressions and menacing eyes.
Their steps were neat and orderly, following behind their master, making them look even more spirited, like a well-trained army.
Before he even got close, the young master's eyes widened in anger, and he roared in a loud voice, "Who are you, daring to ruin my plans?"
His voice was filled with arrogance and swagger, as if the whole world was about to tremble.
Those around him were startled by his sudden shout and turned to look, their eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction, extremely displeased with the arrogant behavior of this young nobleman.
But they all involuntarily retreated and hid, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
In the surrounding restaurants, some people chuckled softly, as if they saw that this great hero was in deep trouble.
Some looked reluctant but didn't step forward, as if they were still hesitating.
The group of seven approached quickly. The young nobleman, his face contorted with anger as if he had been humiliated, growled, "Where did this country bumpkin come from, daring to ruin my plans?"
"Looks like you have some money. This woman owes me a thousand taels of silver. If you pay it off for her, I'll let bygones be bygones."
The young nobleman, mounted on his horse, looked down at the woman and Emperor Ye Wu with a nonchalant smile and a hint of mockery in his voice.
It was as if they were treating it all as a game, enjoying the thrill of controlling other people's destinies.
Emperor Yewu shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, 'The Holy Emperor's travels in this royal city have truly caused chaos.'
The eldest prince's inability to control the situation and the escape of the dragon's aura are both understandable, but what about the Tong family?
So what if it's the Wang family!
Emperor Ye Wu's eyes were icy cold. He slightly raised his hand, and without any extra movements, several sharp streams of true energy shot out like lightning.
The true energy fell swiftly and accurately like a meteor from outer space, carrying an aura of destruction that instantly enveloped the seven guards.
Before the seven could react, their true energy, with its earth-shattering power, was instantly blasted into countless fragments.
A gentle breeze blew, and the seven people seemed like grains of sand scattered by a gale, as if the end of the world had arrived!
Those around were terrified at the sight, their hearts nearly stopping.
The previously noisy atmosphere in the restaurant instantly froze, and the expressions of the people who had just been watching the show changed drastically!
His eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, and the wine spilled down his cheeks, but he still didn't feel anything.
An invisible tension and fear spread through the crowd, the air seemed to freeze, and a nameless terror surged into their hearts.
Not far away, in front of the sandalwood windows of a luxurious high-rise building, the aroma of delicious spirit fish and spirit chicken soup rises like an elegant dragon and phoenix, reflecting on the exquisite dining table. Two men and one woman, dressed in expensive brocade robes and long skirts, are there.
A woman was slumped in a soft chair. Her appearance was strikingly similar to Miss Miao, who had been killed by He Chen. At that moment, the smell of a latrine slowly wafted out.
Just now, she was watching the good show outside the window with a mocking smile, secretly laughing to herself, 'Foolish old man, he probably still thinks the Holy Emperor is alive!'
Being cut off from information leads only to death; truly, one's perspective determines one's fate—a pathetic creature best left unsaid.
It's like appreciating a beautiful story of a hero rescuing a beauty, the beauty cherishing the hero, and ultimately the two falling in love and going to the underworld together.
At this moment, the woman's expression suddenly changed. Her stiff face was instantly covered with frost, and her eyes, which had just been calm and seemingly disdainful, revealed an indescribable fear and unease, as if shrouded in an invisible chill.
A terrifying voice screamed, "Get out of here! Get out of here! People are dying!"
The other two had familiar faces. One of them looked somewhat like Young Master Jie, and the other was also somewhat familiar. The two of them were no better off, and they couldn't hold back any longer, letting out a series of loud farts.
There were a few thuds, and a foul odor immediately filled the air. They exchanged a smile and said, "Sorry, we had an upset stomach at lunch, that's why we farted. Please forgive us."
Without looking back, they both hurried out, secretly relieved. 'Luckily, I prepared two sets of clothes in case something good happened today!'
Having shaken off their servants, the two entered separate secluded alleys. At this moment, the man who looked remarkably like Young Master Jie hurriedly rushed into the alley, his only thought being to change his clothes as quickly as possible.
But they seemed oblivious to the fact that the surroundings were completely dark, and the alley was dimly lit, perhaps due to the lack of light.
Suddenly, it felt as if the surroundings were shrouded in a thin mist. In the distance, there was a thatched hut, and outside the hut, two exceptionally beautiful women were bathing by the stream at the entrance.
Long hair, a graceful figure—the person who saw the striking resemblance to Young Master Jie's eyes lit up instantly, secretly thinking, 'Sure enough, there's always a silver lining after a dark night. Not having tasted the Miao cuisine today must be a divine arrangement!'
She hurriedly changed into a clean set of silk clothes, throwing her dirty clothes on the ground. She carefully bent down and tiptoed toward the two people by the stream, her happy expression never stopping.
The closer he got, the more unfocused his eyes became, as if he could see the young lady he had longed for and yearned for, who was now waving at him, begging him to come closer.
Behind them, a bridal canopy had already been laid out.
If someone were outside the alley, they would surely see a set of clothes in the corner of the alley, the stench of which seemed to be within a three-foot radius, and could not be smelled from a distance. Six steps away from the clothes was a brick wall that blocked the way.
It turned out that this was a dead end, and there was no one there.
Outside the alley, passersby hurried by, busy with their lives, seemingly unaware that someone had just run in and dared not come out for a long time.
Emperor Ye waited quietly for a moment, and then a young, dark-skinned man came tremblingly carrying two coffins.
Seeing that Emperor Ye Wu did not object, he respectfully, together with another dark-skinned man, gently placed the person into the two coffins.
The word 'escape' flashed through the dark-skinned man's mind for a moment. After all, killing the third young master of the Tong family was a serious crime, and the consequences would certainly not be good.
But if I run away, I probably won't be able to escape for long. I can't afford to gamble!
Seeing their loved ones laid to rest in their coffins, finally they have a place to shelter them from the wind and rain!
The woman's eyes welled up with tears. After a moment of stunned silence, she knelt down again, her voice choked with sobs, "Thank you, hero, for avenging my father. Please leave now, hero. The Tong family is not someone you can easily deal with."
Please leave immediately, sir, to avoid being implicated.
