Feng Yan pounced, his blade radiating intense killing intent. The expert spun around, released his feathers, and raised his blade to meet Feng Yan's attack.
Just then, he suddenly raised his right foot, kicked over a Southern Liang soldier next to him, and sent the knife flying towards Feng Yan.
Feng Yan used his leg to block the attack. The force of the knife was immense, but Feng Yan was no weakling either.
However, the expert's move was also a feint; with lightning speed, he suddenly shot a dart from his left sleeve.
The dart struck Feng Yan squarely in the chest, carrying immense force and piercing through his armor.
Feng Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his tall body fell backward.
Qi Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted as he charged towards the expert.
The expert followed suit, shooting another dart from his left sleeve. Before the dart could even get close to him, he too fell down.
The expert beside the Emperor of Southern Liang was left-handed. His left hand was several times stronger than his right, and he could often kill people by surprise.
When Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun rushed up the city wall, they saw Feng Yan and Qi Yu fall to the ground one after the other.
Lu Xiaoyun's mind went blank, and she turned deathly pale with fright.
Seal Flame!
Its feathers!
They cannot die!
Huizhi is only ten years old!
Zhu Yu flew up with incredible speed, arriving in front of the expert and swiftly kicking him to the ground. He tried to repeat his trick, but Lu Xiaoyun, who arrived just in time, sliced off his left arm with a single stroke.
The expert staggered back several steps in pain, ignoring the agony, and raised his knife in his right hand to kill Lu Xiaoyun. But Zhu Yu would not let him succeed. He leaped up, swept his sword horizontally, and exuded a powerful killing intent. In the next moment, he slit the expert's neck, and the sword, with great force, nailed into the city wall behind the expert.
Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun rushed over and each picked up Feng Yan and Qi Yu.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Blood kept gushing from their mouths, and no matter how much they wiped it, they couldn't get it clean, and they couldn't even speak anymore.
"Qiyu, Qiyu, don't die, don't die! Think of Huizhi, she's still waiting for you to come back in Shengjing, she's only ten years old..." Lu Xiaoyun wailed.
"Ayan, Ayan, quickly call Ayan to come and save people!" Lu Xiaoyun cried out.
Lu Yuyan had just dealt with a Southern Liang soldier when he heard his sister's hysterical shouts. Thinking something had happened to Zhu Yu, he immediately rushed over.
As a doctor, he immediately understood the situation of Feng Yan and Qi Yu upon seeing them. They had been pierced through the heart by a dart, which was also highly poisonous; there was no hope of saving them.
Lu Xiaoyun cried and pulled Lu Yuyan down to his knees: "Please save them, please save them, Yuyan, I beg you, Huizhi is only ten years old, she's still so young, she can't live without her parents, Yuyan..."
Lu Xiaoyun cried her heart out.
“Sister…I, I can’t save them…” Lu Yuyan choked up and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Xiaoyun.
Blood kept gushing from Qi Yu's mouth, and he gripped Lu Xiaoyun's hand tighter and tighter. Black blood also welled up in his eyes, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Feng Yan lay in Zhu Yu's arms: "Master, Master..." Black blood gushed from his mouth, staining Zhu Yu's silver armor a dark red, stinging his eyes.
Zhu Yu's face remained tense as he suppressed the churning in his throat: "Don't worry, the Princess and I will take good care of Huizhi... From today onwards, she is my daughter, Zhu Yu's daughter..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yan and Qi Yu both let their hands fall to their sides.
"Ah...!" Lu Xiaoyun cried out to the sky while holding Qi Yu.
Zhu Yu carefully placed Feng Yan down, pulled the sword from the crack in the wall, and coldly ordered, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Wu Chuan and Xi Yi went mad after seeing the corpses of Feng Yan and Qi Yu.
The guards went mad when they saw the corpses of their commander and his wife.
The entire Southern Liang Kingdom was engulfed in a massacre.
Fifty thousand garrison troops, two thousand masked soldiers, and everyone in the Southern Liang imperial palace were all killed within a few days.
The water in the moat turned blood red.
Their cold blood flowed through every crack in the bricks of the Southern Liang capital palace.
Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun personally carried Feng Yan and Qi Yu's corpses down from the city tower and placed them in the coffins. They gently placed the two people's hands together. The coffins contained thousands of years of ice, which would preserve their bodies from melting.
On June 20th of the eleventh year of Jianyan, Zhu Yu, the Prince of An of the Great Zhou, led an army of 150,000 to capture the capital of the Southern Liang Kingdom and slaughtered the Tuoba clan of Southern Liang within five days.
The Southern Liang Dynasty is destroyed!
Zhu Yu did not kill Tuoba Min, the third prince of Southern Liang, who had become a cripple. Instead, he wanted to take him back to Shengjing City. He had promised Ruoling that she would personally kill this beast.
On the tenth day of the fifth month of the twelfth year of Jianyan, Lu Yucheng, the commander of the Xishan Military Camp of the Great Zhou, led an army of 200,000 to capture the capital of the Northern Qi and massacre the entire royal family of Northern Qi.
The Northern Qi Dynasty is destroyed!
Lu Yucheng's 200,000-strong army, Zhu Yu's 200,000-strong army, together with the 200,000-strong army personally led by Emperor Zhu Dan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the 200,000-strong Lu family army, besieged the State of Chen on June 20th of the thirteenth year of Jianyan.
Lu Yucheng's 200,000-strong army and Zhu Yu's 200,000-strong army flanked the Chen Kingdom from the left and right flanks, while Lu's family army flanked from the rear. Zhu Dan's 200,000-strong army, totaling 800,000 troops, launched a massive attack on the Chen Kingdom from all directions.
The state of Chen was thrown into chaos, and the king of Chen raised the imperial seal to signify his willingness to surrender.
The deaths of Feng Yan and Qi Yu enraged all the soldiers of the 800,000-strong army, especially the former Northern Army, who submitted petitions refusing to accept the surrender of the King of Chen.
If it weren't for Chen's deceitful instigation, the three-nation alliance wouldn't have launched a major war against the Great Zhou. Since they dared to provoke the tiger, they had to be prepared to bear the consequences of failure.
The 800,000-strong army marched towards the capital of Chen, and wherever they went, cities surrendered one after another.
Zhu Dan accepted the surrender of the local officials, but not the surrender of the Chen king and his royal family.
