This series of events unfolded so swiftly that even He Li and the others, who were on the opposing side, were filled with admiration. Zu An was truly amazing; every move he made was unexpected.
He even somewhat hoped that the emperor would be killed by this blow, so that he and his party would be completely free.
However, the black light suddenly stopped, as it had been firmly held between two fingers.
Zhao Ruizhi sneered: "I noticed your strange dagger a long time ago. Your series of actions just now were to confuse me and cover up your attack, weren't they?"
The dark dagger gave him a chill; he immediately realized that it was extremely dangerous and could be fatal.
Although he couldn't understand why a dagger would threaten him, he wasn't stupid enough to risk his life.
As expected, Zaun spent half the day pulling all sorts of crazy tricks, just looking for an opportunity to hurt him with this dagger.
He firmly gripped the dagger, and in that instant, he felt as if he had the other person's intelligence crushed under his feet, and a sense of superiority welled up within him.
To his surprise, he didn't see any shock, frustration, annoyance, or despair on the other person's face; instead, he saw a strange smile.
A sense of unease rose in his mind, and he hurriedly punched his opponent, sending him flying. At the same time, he dodged to the side, but it was too late.
A gash was cut open on his chest, not by the black dagger, but by another strangely shaped throwing knife.
Seeing the throwing knife still stained with blood in Zuan's other hand not far away, Zhao Ruizhi frowned. He didn't understand how such a small throwing knife could pierce through his defenses.
Zuan lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his face was full of smiles: "Didn't expect that, did you? I'm going to use a dagger with poison to stab you. You knew I was going to do this, I know you knew I was going to do this, so all of that before was just to cover up this stab... You thought I was on the fifth level, but actually I'm in the atmosphere."
Just a second ago, Zhao Ruizhi thought he had completely outsmarted the other person, but now that he realized he had been tricked, he was furious. However, he still tried to save face: "Hmph, you went through all that trouble just to cut me with that little knife? It's like children playing house."
Zuan sighed: "Didn't you notice anything unusual?"
"What could be wrong with me..." Zhao Ruizhi was only halfway through his sentence when his expression suddenly changed, because he felt a sharp pain coming from him. It was not the pain in his stomach that he had felt before, but a kind of pain that came from his soul.
His own soul was violently shaken, giving him a headache that felt like it was about to explode.
Because he lost his ability to suppress it, the poison in his hand, "Ice Heart Snow Soul," and the poison in his stomach, "Whoever Stares Gets Pregnant," both took effect at the same time. Even with Zhao Ruizhi's amazing willpower, he couldn't help but scream and fall to the ground, convulsing in pain.
Bi Linglong had already arrived at Zu An's side and helped him sit up: "Azu, are you alright?"
"I won't die." Zu An shakily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at Zhao Ruizhi while beginning to circulate the Primordial Chaos Scripture to repair his body. The two sides were now competing on time; whoever recovered first would secure victory.
The throwing knife he just used was the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, a treasure that Shi Kun had tried to steal from his home to ambush him in the Eastern Palace.
This knife looks ordinary on the surface, but it can injure a person's soul and is extremely vicious.
It's a pity that this set of Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives is clearly incomplete, unable to unleash its full power; otherwise, that last strike might have directly obliterated the emperor's soul.
He had no choice but to do this, because the other party had seen the poison hidden in the dagger and would obviously be on guard if he used it to ambush him. He had no choice but to use the poison hidden in the dagger as a cover to cover up the attack of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
"What happened to him?" Bi Linglong had never seen the emperor, who was once so high and mighty, in such a disheveled state, and she was utterly horrified.
Zhao Ruizhi was lying on the ground, clutching his head in pain, his body emitting golden light one moment and icy coldness the next.
"Stop asking so many questions, just go kill him. He shouldn't be able to move for a while now," Zu'an urged.
Bi Linglong's face turned pale. The emperor's power was ingrained in the very bones of everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her first reaction upon hearing this request was fear and terror.
However, seeing that Zuan was seriously injured and had just fought bravely, she regained her rationality, gritted her teeth, picked up the weapon that had fallen to the side, and walked directly towards Zhao Ruizhi.
Zhao Ruizhi snorted coldly: "He Li, kill them."
"Yes!" He Li instinctively rushed to Bi Linglong's side. He was at the peak of the ninth rank, while Bi Linglong was only at the sixth rank. Moreover, she was already extremely weak after using the forbidden move. The difference was too great. Almost in one exchange, Bi Linglong coughed up blood and flew back.
If it weren't for Bi Linglong's beauty, and his instinctive pity for her as a man, she would probably be dead by now.
After severely injuring Bi Linglong, He Li instinctively wanted to go forward and kill Zu An.
Zu An then roared, "Hey, have you forgotten all about cultivation?"
He Li was furious: "I can't really do anything about your arrogance normally, but now you dare to talk to me like that? You're practically asking for death!"
Anger from He Li: +444 +444 +444...
“I am indeed seriously injured and unable to move, but the emperor is also unable to move. If you don’t take this opportunity to kill him, won’t you be doomed to die once he recovers?” Zu’an said quickly.
