Chapter 795 Just because your last name is Lu
The living man who was laughing at his cowardice a dozen breaths ago, a
man who had been a big shot in Dahui for decades, died in the blink of an eye Looking at the bloody head not far away, the old man in black took a few steps back as if he had seen a flood and beast, his eyes full of fear.
There is no doubt that the old man in white robe was killed by the assassin in the formation.
And he was able to kill a second-grade master so easily and neatly in such a short time. His throat moved slightly, and the old man in black felt a chill on his spine, making him feel as if he was in an ice cave in this early summer.
Until now, he certainly didn't dare to enter the battle formation again.
He knew that this head was a warning. If he entered the formation, the next head thrown out would undoubtedly be his.
"Guo, Senior Guo, this..."
At this time, more and more people were gathering around the old man in black.
They belong to different forces, but their purpose of coming here is to save Lu Yuansong.
Their strengths vary, but now they are all hesitant because of this head.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the black-clothed old man with the highest realm, and the latter said only one sentence after being silent for a while -
"Send in the Imperial Guards. We must not let the assassin escape!"
“.”
Summon the imperial guards.
The old man in black spoke in a very stern tone, but the meaning behind his words was clear as day.
That is, he would not take the risk for Lu Yuansong.
If it was Lu Hongji who was trapped in the formation at this time, it is estimated that no one present would hesitate.
Even though Lu Yuansong was a prince, he would be dead if he died.
Of course, this does not mean that Lu Yuansong is not important.
However, no matter for Dahui or these people, Lu Yuansong's life was not yet worth their while to make them "sacrifice themselves to save him".
After all, this assassin killed a second-grade master in just a dozen breaths. The air was filled with white mist, and the moon and stars were sparse.
Just like that, the area outside the formation fell into an eerie silence.
More and more people rushed out from all directions of Longshou Mountain, and then stopped tacitly outside the formation, watching the rolling white mist in front of them in silence.
The magic array cast by Yang Liushi blocked out all sounds, lights and shadows. Unless one entered the array, one could not see or hear anything.
However, everyone can imagine the current scene in the formation.
The facts were indeed similar to what they thought. At this moment, the huge Changding Palace was already filled with flames and a sea of blood and corpses.
Hundreds of royal soldiers in golden armor lay in a pool of blood, while more palace maids and eunuchs fled in all directions, and then suddenly fell to the ground and died at some unknown time.
The cold wind was howling, and every time Yang Liushi's figure flashed, several corpses would be left behind. It was estimated that it would not take long to kill all the living people in the Changding Palace.
Wei Changtian was still standing in the main hall. With just a wave of his hand, he blew away the last three soldiers who were blocking Lu Yuansong.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three muffled thuds were heard in unison, and the three soldiers slammed into the stone pillars in the hall and fell to the ground, seemingly deader than dead.
After they died, the only living people in the main hall were Wei Changtian and the pale-faced Lu Yuansong.
Looking at the black beast lying not far away, and recalling the scene of thousands of swords flying just now, even though Lu Yuansong didn't know what the Gu Diao was, he understood that the masked man was actually Wei Changtian.
Because of this, he no longer offered any meaningless resistance, but just watched Wei Changtian approach step by step until he stood in front of him.
"Your Highness, if you have any life-saving treasures on you, please hand them over."
Smiling and lowering the Yuan Tu Sword, Wei Changtian casually said: "You should know that these things can't save you. At most, they can only delay your death for a while."
"It's meaningless. Why don't you just hand it over and I'll give you a quick death, and it will save us all trouble."
“.”
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the hall and listening to Wei Changtian's words, Lu Yuansong took one last glance at the rolling white fog in the distance and realized that the people outside the formation had given up on him.
In fact, he had anticipated this.
After all, he had seen the scene where Wei Changtian killed the old man in white robe with one sword just now.
To be fair, if it were him, Lu Yuansong would not have entered the battle to save people.
But
"Master Wei, there must be imperial guards outside the formation at this time. If you kill me, it will be very difficult for you to escape."
Looking directly at Wei Changtian, Lu Yuansong said softly: "Why don't you take me as a hostage? This will also be good for you."
Actively ask to be a hostage.
It is obvious that Lu Yuansong wants to survive longer in this way.
However, Wei Changtian didn't even think about it when he heard it. He just smiled and shook his head.
"No, Your Highness, don't worry about how I escape."
“Is that so.”
His eyes turned desperate, and Lu Yuansong's face looked even more miserable.
It seems like the feeling of being powerless against fate, and also like the regret for something that has not been completed.
At one point he suddenly raised his head and asked the last question.
"Master Wei, can I ask why you must kill me?"
“.”
"There's no special reason, just because your last name is Lu."
A quarter of an hour later.
When another life tablet in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall was shattered and the white mist swirling around the Changding Hall slowly dissipated, the mood of the thousands of people gathered around instantly became extremely tense.
He clenched the weapon tightly in his hand, and even his breathing became stagnant.
Thousands of people stared at the Changding Palace which was gradually revealed. They saw the corpses on the ground and the cold moonlight, but they heard no sound.
There were no fleeing crowds, no fierce fighting scenes.
The entire Changding Palace was in deathly silence. There was no unusual movement, let alone any assassins.
"Enter!"
A low shout came from the old man in black.
With just a wave of his hand, thousands of imperial guards slowly and cautiously stepped forward, narrowing the encirclement bit by bit.
"Da Da Da"
There was still no movement in the palace, only the dull footsteps of the imperial guards echoed in the night sky.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, the old man in black who fell behind the army formation realized that there would be no survivors in Changding Hall.
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, the assassin killed everyone. "Senior Guo."
After an unknown amount of time, a general of the Imperial Guards hurriedly ran up to the old man in black and said in an extremely complicated tone: "We found the second prince's body."
“.”
The old man in black paused, then shook his head and asked, "Where is the assassin?"
“None.”
The commander of the imperial guards answered truthfully: "He must have escaped by some unknown means."
"well"
Sighing, the old man in black said nothing more, but just looked up at the night sky.
A dark cloud covered the moon, blocking out the moonlight.
After a long silence, he slowly said as if talking to himself: "It couldn't have been done by the eldest prince and others."
"This time there will be a great disaster."
"Everyone, wish you good luck in the future."
