Lin Bufan's sword strike, aimed directly at Emperor Mingde, terrified everyone.

Qi Tianchen immediately protected the emperor, using the immortal techniques he had learned.

Unfortunately, the situation is different this time.

Last time, Lin Bufan failed to break through to the pseudo-divine realm, and Qi Tianchen was able to withstand some of his attacks.

Now that Lin Bufan has reached the pseudo-divine realm, Qi Tianchen is no match for him.

The spell was broken, and the sword energy went straight ahead.

Having no other choice, Qi Tianchen threw himself in front of Emperor Mingde to shield him from a sword wound.

A flash of sword light, and Qi Tianchen was injured by the sword energy.

Emperor Mingde behind him was not spared either; half of his left hand was severed, and all five fingers fell off.

Emperor Mingde clutched his blood-soaked hand and cried out in pain, hating Lin Bufan to the extreme and wishing he could personally tear Lin Bufan to pieces.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that ability.

It now seems that Qi Tianchen doesn't have that ability either.

No one present was there.

Lin Bufan has killed all those who have this ability.

The head of the largest family in the Dark River, Luo Qingyang, the number one swordsman in the Northern Li, and Jin Xuan, the number one eunuch in Tianqi City... have all died at Lin Bufan's hands.

"Blocked a sword strike, interesting, but it's alright."

Lin Bufan raised his sword again and coldly asked Qi Tianchen, "Can you still hold on? Do you want to block a second sword strike?"

Qi Tianchen was seriously injured and lacked the strength to block the second sword. He shouted, "Protect the Emperor!"

Emperor Mingde also shouted at Ye Xiaoying: "I forgive you for your crime, quickly seize Lin Bufan."

Ye Xiaoying thought to himself: I don't have that ability.

He said aloud, "Your Majesty, my hands are tied."

Marquis Lanyue also hesitated, "Brother, why don't you release us first?"

Sikong Qianluo shouted, "You old emperor, release us at once!"

Emperor Mingde, trembling, ordered the nearest guards, "Quickly untie them, the rest of you, arrest Lin Bufan."

Immediately, the Tiger Legion and Golden Armor Guards all rushed over and surrounded Lin Bufan and Li Hanyi.

They're just small fry, at most at the Earth Realm, with hardly any at the Heaven Realm. Li Hanyi could handle them all by herself.

While Li Hanyi was killing the henchmen in the back, Lin Bufan didn't even turn his head, and walked step by step toward Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, extremely terrified.

Ye Xiaoying and the others slowly loosened the ropes, seemingly unable to rescue their master in time.

Qi Tianchen was seriously injured and could not bear to watch the emperor be killed, so he desperately used his magic to resist Lin Bufan.

In vain, Lin Bufan slapped him away.

Approaching Emperor Mingde, he delivered a left shove, knocking the emperor to the ground.

The king's crown fell off.

Emperor Mingde, disheveled and behaving in a sorry state, crawled to pick up his crown.

The crown represented his imperial majesty.

He can be kicked down, but the imperial dignity cannot be.

Snap!

Lin Bufan stomped on the emperor's crown, trampling on the dignity of Emperor Mingde.

Then he stepped on his shinbone again, and heard a crisp cracking sound.

Emperor Mingde suffered a broken leg and was in excruciating pain, his voice cracking from screaming.

"Ah~ Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

The cries pierced through misery and helplessness, making people tremble.

Xiao Chong, oblivious to his father's disheveled state, stood motionless, his eyes closed.

Lan Yuehou could see that they were brothers after all, and he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to speak up for Emperor Mingde.

Lin Bufan turned to look in his direction and said in an unyielding tone, "Today I will not give face to anyone. Xiao Ruojin has disrespected me time and time again, and I will kill him."

Kill the emperor's elder brother?

Lan Yuehou was stunned, also intimidated by Lin Bufan's imposing aura, and unconsciously swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Kill Xiao Ruojin?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.

Lin Bufan, the Great Sword Immortal Lin, how dare you address the Emperor by his full name and even threaten to kill him in public!

They have no regard for the law and are completely lawless.

"Anyone objecting? Step forward, or Lin will make you all die with him."

Lin Bufan intimidated everyone, and for a moment no one dared to move, except...

The Tiger Legion and the Guards were fighting Li Hanyi from the rear.

"Help! Help! Help me, please!"

Emperor Mingde's voice was almost hoarse from shouting.

Finally, Marquis Lanyue stepped forward.

Emperor Mingde was extremely excited, thinking that Marquis Lanyue had finally decided to save him.

My brother is the best; he's reliable in crucial moments.

"Yue Li, quickly save my brother, save me!"

“Brother, you know my abilities. I can’t beat him.”

"I am sullen," said Marquis Lanyue.

Emperor Mingde was heartbroken: You can't win? You have to try, don't you want to show your loyalty?

“Royal brother,” Marquis Lanyue spoke again, his words somewhat discouraging.

"Why don't you apologize to Sword Immortal Lin with a sincere attitude? Saving your life is the most important thing."

"What, you want me to apologize to him?"

Emperor Mingde roared, "You grew up with me since you were a child, do you think I'm the kind of person who would admit my mistakes?"

"Your Majesty, you must carefully consider which is more important," said Marquis Lanyue, also conflicted.

Neither he, Xiao Chong, nor Qi Tianchen expected things to turn out this way.

The struggle among the princes for the crown prince position escalated to the point that the emperor might be killed and the monarch of the Northern Li Dynasty might change.

"Do you really want me to admit my mistake?"

The situation was out of control, and Emperor Mingde was extremely frustrated. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life, and a few tears of pain streamed down his face.

Seeing Emperor Mingde's attitude, Lin Bufan changed his mind and ordered Emperor Mingde: "Kneel down and kowtow three times to me and Hanyi, and promise in public that you will not target Xueyue City in the future, and I may consider sparing your life."

"Does it have to be this way?" Emperor Mingde thought to himself, unwilling to accept the situation.

"Or, you choose to die."
