Chapter 378: Rumble in the Dongfeng Court
Su Yue couldn't stand it any longer. These people clearly bullied them because they were weak and outnumbered, and thought that the two of them were easy to bully. Today, she would let them see whether they were easy to bully or not.
After she finished speaking, she pulled out a sharp Tang sword from her sleeve and she raised the sword and slashed at the imperial guards who were rushing towards her.
Although she didn't know any martial arts moves, she was very strong. With one slash, she cut Zhang Yulin's sword into two pieces. After that, she continued to use her strength and slashed the Tang sword deeply into the chest of the Yulin. There was a loud cracking sound when the sword was chopped down, and the bone was visible. The man was almost cut in half by her.
Su Yue pulled back the Tang sword quickly and forcefully, and the Imperial Guard fell to the ground with a thud, holding his chest, and died on the spot.
Shu Yue had already pounced on another Royal Guard.
The royal guards had never seen such a ferocious woman. After seeing how powerful Su Yue was, they were so scared that they retreated again and again when she swung her knife at them.
They were not only afraid of Su Yue's cruelty, but also afraid of the knife in her hand.
Such magical weapons are too powerful and can cut off the weapons in their hands. Once the weapons are destroyed, it will be like cutting off their limbs and making them vulnerable to being slaughtered.
Even though they are the Royal Guards, they are afraid of death.
Seeing that they were scared, Su Yue rushed forward and hacked at them. From time to time, two more royal guards were hit by her and were seriously injured.
Su Yue continued...
She seemed to be back to the time when she was killing zombies. She only knew how to kill and she was bloodthirsty.
In a short while, she killed eight out of ten of the royal guards who rushed towards her.
The emperor at the top was filled with rage when he saw this. He really wanted to snatch the knife from the hands of the imperial guards and chop Su Yue into meat paste. Those were all his imperial guards.
But he didn't dare, because he had no martial arts skills, and he would only go down to deliver food to Su Yue.
He had no choice but to order the imperial guards: "All of you come down and chop off these two thieves."
Dong Fenghuang was filled with rage, almost burning him to death.
The Royal Guards dared not disobey the emperor's order. They jumped off the stage and rushed towards Su Yue with swords in hand.
Su Yue was not afraid. He swung his knife and slashed at the crowd. He became more and more excited and excited as he slashed more and more.
Murong Li was even more powerful. He didn't hold back this time. He swept out with his sword and knocked down a group of people. His sword moves were infused with internal force. Anyone who was hurt by him would be seriously injured.
When the prince saw him cutting the imperial guards like cutting watermelons, he was shocked and frightened. He quickly called the other imperial guards into the hall to surround and kill Murong Li together.
At this time, the ministers on both sides were frightened when they saw such a scene. They were afraid that Murong Li would hurt them, so they all ran towards the emperor. Some simply ran out of the hall and escaped.
When Murong Li saw this, he narrowed his eyes, used his lightness skills, stepped on the heads of the crowd, and immediately swung out a sword.
The sword brought up a gust of wind, and wherever the gust of wind passed, people fell to the ground and wailing sounded everywhere.
The civil and military ministers were not like the imperial guards. They had received professional training and could only groan at most when injured. However, those delicate civil and military ministers could not withstand such pain. After being injured, they fell to the ground wailing, and some even endured the pain and escaped from the palace.
Murong Li ignored those people and continued to swing his sword.
Suddenly, there was chaos inside and outside the hall.
"Kill them, kill them for me."
The prince yelled angrily.
"brush!"
Suddenly, a sword energy attacked him.
The prince felt a chill before his eyes. He had no time to grab the people around him to block the sword for him. The sword energy slashed towards his abdomen, and his clothes were torn apart. He felt a pain in his abdomen, and he was injured, and it was not a light one. Blood spurted out immediately.
“Ahhh…”
The prince wailed in pain, covered his abdomen and fell to the ground with his back to the sky.
The surrounding imperial guards were horrified when they saw this and ran over to surround him, preventing Murong Li from hurting the prince again.
If the prince dies, they will all die. Not only will they die, but their families will also be implicated.
The Imperial Guards and the sword-bearing guards of the palace are all people who protect the emperor, the palace, the concubines, the princes and princesses in the palace. Children of common people are never recruited. All of them are selected from various aristocratic families and the families of officials.
In this way, even if the chosen person makes a mistake, the entire family will be implicated.
Therefore, generally no one dares to cause trouble, and will doubly protect the royal family members, even if it means death.
Murong Li only wanted to injure the prince. He had not thought about taking his life this time. Now was not the time to take his life, but the punishment still had to be given.
“Stop! Stop!”
Emperor Dong Feng saw the chaos in the hall from above. His men were killed or injured by Murong Li, even the crown prince was injured. If the killing continued like this, all the people in the hall would be killed by the two men.
It doesn’t matter if the ministers die, they are all useless anyway, but the prince must not be in any harm, because he is his most beloved son and also his smartest son.
When the imperial guards heard the emperor's shout, they immediately stopped and retreated to the prince's side.
Murong Li and Su Yue also stopped. They stood in the center of the hall, holding swords, and looked at the Emperor Dong Feng at the top with great aura.
Dong Fenghuang suddenly felt a surge of oppression. He shuddered and gritted his teeth, saying, "Prince Li, tell me, what do you want?"
Murong Li curled his lips, and said with a half-smile: "Wouldn't it be better if Dong Fenghuang had been like this earlier? Why did you insist that my wife and I teach you a lesson?"
The Phoenix Emperor suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, saying, "Prince Li, the incident at Qingniu Pass was the fault of the Eastern Phoenix Nation. I will definitely make appropriate compensation. The entire Qingniu Mountain Range will be ceded to the Western Phoenix Nation, and the Eastern Phoenix Nation will pay a million taels of silver and ten thousand war horses as compensation. What do you think, Prince Li?"
Emperor Dong Feng knew that Murong Li had not asked for compensation, so he was waiting for him to speak up and test his bottom line.
As expected, Murong Li was not satisfied with this compensation and said leisurely, "If the silver is exchanged for one million taels of gold, I will accept it. The other two are also acceptable."
Emperor Dong Feng's heart skipped a beat. One million taels of gold would empty his treasury.
But these two killer gods were not so easily dismissed, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, if Prince Li and Princess Li are meaningless, you two can go to the inn and rest. Within three days, I will present the things to Prince Li."
"Okay, three days later, after I see the things, Emperor Dongfeng will send someone to follow me to Qingniu Pass to lead the hundreds of thousands of troops."
Murong Li readily agreed. One million taels of gold would probably empty the treasury of Dongfeng Kingdom. His goal had been achieved.
"Eunuch Li, please take Prince Li and Princess Li to the inn to rest."
Emperor Dong Feng immediately called the eunuch beside him and said that he wished he could kick Murong Li and the other man out of the palace. His heart ached when he looked at them for even one more second.
