Chapter 142 The Great Battle of the Heavenly Decree 1
With a forceful movement, Gu Huiming caused the Crown Prince to immediately kneel helplessly on the ground, forced to let him knead him.
Beneath their overlapping sleeves, a thick, twisted red line, resembling a centipede, crawled out from Gu Huiming's wrist and then onto the Crown Prince's wrist.
The thick red line rises high and then plunges down suddenly.
"Ah!" The prince screamed in agony, his whole body soaked in sweat, looking somewhat disheveled, but unable to move.
His eyes were lifeless, and his breathing seemed to have become weak.
Gu Huiming closed his eyes, and black mist emanated from his body, floating above his head before transforming into a ball and rushing into the prince's body.
The crown prince, who had been holding his head high, immediately let his head droop limply, while Gu Huiming, who was holding his wrist, had dense cracks on his skin, and it seemed that one could faintly hear something breaking.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Gu Huiming suddenly shattered into countless tiny particles, which were carried away by the wind to an unknown distance.
Those who had possessed the bodies were used to this scene and remained completely calm.
But those who had never seen it before were immediately terrified and turned pale when they saw the scene.
"Prime Minister Gu, what's wrong with him?"
"Chief Secretary Gu, is he dead?"
"Who killed Chief Minister Gu?"
"How...how could this be?"
Although Emperor Xirui had never witnessed such a scene firsthand, he already knew what would happen after someone who had possessed another body changed bodies.
Therefore, he was able to remain calm even when faced with such an illogical scene.
He knew that Gu Huiming had possessed the Crown Prince's body.
"Quickly! Kill the Crown Prince!"
He immediately shouted.
Upon hearing Emperor Xirui's order, the surrounding guards hesitated and looked at their leader.
After all, killing the crown prince was a serious crime, and they didn't understand why Emperor Xirui wanted to kill him.
"I will obey Your Majesty!" said Marquis Changping.
Upon receiving the order, the guards then surrounded the crown prince.
Just as the guard's long sword was about to strike the prince's neck, the prince, who had been hanging his head, suddenly struck out and knocked the sword away.
Because of the prince's sudden action, the guards surrounding him instinctively took a few steps back, holding their long swords and watching him warily.
The prince slowly raised his head, which suddenly tilted to the left and right involuntarily. He kept his eyes closed, his face expressionless, and his skin an unnatural white, making him look somewhat eerie.
He lifted his leg to stand up, but his knee bent and he almost fell. He reached out and braced himself on the ground, using the support of his arms to stand up unsteadily.
His current posture looks somewhat awkward, as if his arms and legs are not under his control and always tilt at strange angles.
Shao Yanzhe stared at the Crown Prince. He knew that Gu Huiming had taken over the Crown Prince's body.
Zhou Jiming leaned closer and whispered, "Why does the Crown Prince look like a puppet right now?"
"Gu Huiming has successfully possessed the body. He is currently adapting to the body, which is why he looks so strange."
"I see."
Emperor Xirui stared grimly at the Crown Prince and the hesitant soldiers, then roared angrily once more.
"Kill the Crown Prince!"
"Kill the Crown Prince for me!"
"Whoever kills the Crown Prince, I will bestow upon him the title of Marquis and ten thousand taels of gold!"
As soon as those last words were shouted, those who had hesitated stopped hesitating and immediately raised their long swords with excitement, aiming to slash at the prince's head.
Like a puppet, the prince seemed to have a pair of controlling hands above his head, always managing to dodge the soldiers' attacks at extremely tricky angles.
"Oh no, Gu Huiming is almost used to the Crown Prince's body." Shao Yanzhe stared at the fighting scene over there.
"Should we make a move?" Zhou Jiming asked in a low voice.
Shao Yanzhe glanced at Emperor Xirui and shook his head slightly: "It's not the right time yet."
Emperor Xirui, standing in front of them, stared nervously ahead, wishing the Crown Prince could be chopped into mincemeat right now.
To his disappointment, the crown prince always managed to evade him.
As time went on, the originally stiff prince became more flexible and more like a living human being.
Finally, Gu Huiming had adjusted to the Crown Prince's body. He suddenly raised the imperial edict in his hand and shouted, "The abdication edict is here! I am the future emperor, stop!"
Upon hearing the prince's shout and seeing the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, the soldiers immediately hesitated and stopped.
If the crown prince were just a crown prince, they might still be willing to take a chance, tempted by the prospect of a marquisate and gold.
But if the crown prince is about to become emperor, then they will have to consider whether they can successfully kill him, and what the consequences will be.
Upon seeing this, the crown prince's eyes flashed with smugness.
"All of you, step back!" He said with a stern face, looking very imposing.
The soldiers around him were truly intimidated; they exchanged glances and slowly retreated.
The Crown Prince, Gu Huiming, slowly walked forward toward Emperor Xirui.
He walked along without anyone stopping him.
He didn't continue, stopping about five meters away from Xiruidi.
"Now that His Majesty has abdicated, let's begin the enthronement ceremony!" He smiled, appearing very gentle, but his attitude was extremely firm.
Emperor Xirui smiled slightly: "I think you should take a look at the imperial edict first."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Huiming had a bad feeling.
With a gloomy face, he opened the imperial edict in his hand, glanced down at the name on it, and slammed it shut, only to meet Emperor Xirui's mocking gaze.
He stared at him coldly, then threw the imperial edict in his hand to the ground.
He sighed; he had been too hasty.
His formation was destroyed, and he became careless as his long-cherished wish came true, failing to check the contents of the imperial edict immediately.
The result is that he has now missed out on the throne.
However, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
Gu Huiming shifted his gaze to Shao Yanzhe behind Emperor Xirui, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He snapped his fingers again, directing the spiders to swarm towards Shao Yanzhe.
If I kill him, the throne will be mine!
Countless spiders swarmed around Shao Yanzhe and his group.
"Kill them!" Emperor Xirui ordered grimly.
"yes!"
The guard drew his sword and confronted the spiders.
But there were still too many spiders, and the guards were quickly forced into retreat.
Emperor Xirui couldn't help but take a few steps back and hide behind others.
"Gu Huiming, don't push your luck!"
Gu Huiming looked at them with a smile but didn't say anything.
He was already confident of victory.
Emperor Xirui retreated with a grim expression, almost falling to the ground, but fortunately Shao Yanzhe reached out and pulled him up.
"You, what are you still doing here? Don't you know about the secret passage? Hurry up and leave! That way, at least you can save your life."
Perhaps facing imminent death, he unexpectedly showed compassion, wanting to ensure that his only remaining bloodline could continue to live.
As long as you're alive, there's still a chance.
Shao Yanzhe shook his head: "It's too late now."
Xiruidi subconsciously looked behind him and saw a black spider leg pierce through the roof and fall down.
The broken tiles fell down and buried the room behind them.
Emperor Xirui said somewhat absentmindedly, "I never imagined that the Dayong Dynasty would ultimately perish at my hands."
Shao Yanzhe, however, did not give up: "Your Majesty, it is not time to give up yet. These spiders should be demons. The national fortune of the Dayong Dynasty has a certain suppressive effect on demons. I think Your Majesty must know how to stimulate the national fortune."
Emperor Xirui was immediately taken aback, and then said hesitantly, "However, I have never activated the nation's destiny before, and I am not sure if I can succeed."
"Your Majesty should always give it a try."
"good!"
Emperor Xirui was persuaded, and he immediately began to try to stimulate the nation's fortune. Now, the national fortune of the Dayong Dynasty has broken free from most of its constraints.
As he attempted to activate the nation's destiny, the golden dragon hovering in the sky slowly opened its eyes.
In an instant, a faint wisp of wire descended from the sky.
"squeak!"
The giant spiders immediately let out terrified cries and some cowered in fear.
Gu Huiming looked up at the sky, sneered, and immediately gave the spiders a strong order to get up and continue fighting.
Emperor Xirui was getting old, and the national fortune he could inspire was limited.
His face turned pale, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest before collapsing backward.
"His Majesty!"
Shao Yanzhe reached out and caught it, and noticed that the other person's body was trembling, obviously having reached their limit.
"It seems there really is no chance this time," he murmured.
Knowing that he could no longer delay, Gu Huiming decided to act quickly.
Countless spiders appeared endlessly, seemingly without limit.
When the people of Kyoto looked out of their windows, they saw countless enormous spiders waving their legs as they walked down the street.
They dared not make a sound, only covering their mouths in fear, not daring to even look, for fear of being noticed by the spiders.
More and more spiders, defying the pressure, entered the palace and occupied most of its territory.
Gu Huiming looked at Shao Yanzhe: "If you give me the throne, I will spare your life, okay?"
Zhou Jiming and the others immediately looked at Shao Yanzhe.
Shao Yanzhe handed Emperor Xirui over to Zhou Jiming before looking up at Gu Huiming.
"not good."
He smiled gently. He wasn't a fool to believe his nonsense based on just a casual remark.
"Then there's nothing I can do. I'll give you a chance, but if you don't want it, then don't blame me."
As soon as Gu Huiming finished speaking, countless spiders swarmed forward.
Shao Yanzhe looked around seriously, holding a jade hairpin pen in his hand, a wisp of white faintly visible from the tip of the pen.
He quickly wrote in front of him with the jade hairpin pen. After writing a single character, he launched it like a cannonball, attacking the spiders.
He now has abundant spiritual energy within him, and with the energy he just gained, he feels stronger than ever before.
At that moment, he turned his head and noticed something. With a sudden stroke of his jade hairpin pen, he created a protective shield around them, preventing the spiders from getting close.
But there were too many spiders, and it was impossible for him to completely eliminate them on his own.
Therefore, the only way to completely eliminate spiders is to address the problem at its source.
That means we should deal with Gu Shaoming first!
