"The king is dead! Run!"
"There's a monster! Run!"
In the blink of an eye, the troops that Duan Zhengxiu had brought were so frightened by Mo Han's intimidation that they fled in disarray.
Looking at the fleeing crowd, Shangguan Honghuo's face was gloomy: A bunch of useless trash!
In the blink of an eye, only the elite soldiers of the samurai kingdom he led remained.
Mo Han sneered with a smirk, "To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Without this guy, do you still plan to fight against me?"
Shangguan Honghuo's face was gloomy, but he spoke up, "Lord Mo Han, although you can kill the monarch, you cannot kill all of us! After all, even you cannot disobey the condition of destroying the country!"
Mo Han narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Shangguan Honghuo. "No wonder you haven't expanded your territory or recruited soldiers. Instead, you've been planning this! So it seems you're still not planning to give up?"
Shangguan Honghuo did not speak, but looked at Mo Han with a determined gaze.
Mo Han chuckled, "Alright then, I'll give you a chance! As long as you can sit on the throne before sunset..."
Upon hearing Mo Han's words, Shangguan Honghuo thought he had misheard. "Really?"
"I never deceive my own people! As long as you don't harm innocent civilians, I won't stop you! As for just now, I only wanted to kill an unqualified monarch!" After Mo Han finished speaking, he disappeared directly from the city wall.
Shangguan Hong was overjoyed and waved his hand, shouting, "Enter the city!"
Hearing the clanging of armor coming from outside the city walls, Lan Ying stood up from the teahouse on the street and walked towards Shangguan Honghuo's troops.
Shangguan Honghuo stopped when he saw Lan Ying walking towards him, and looked at Lan Ying with some surprise, "It's you!"
Lan Ying squinted at Shangguan Honghuo, "Shangguan Honghuo!"
Shangguan Honghuo frowned. "How did you end up here?"
"You think I'm dead?" Lan Ying smiled bitterly, staring at him with murderous intent in her eyes.
Seeing Lan Ying's angry expression, Shangguan Honghuo's face darkened.
"Shangguan, let's settle our grudges and grievances today!" Lan Ying said coldly. "Back then, you pursued me to gain my father's trust and became the prince consort of the Warrior Kingdom. I never expected that you would reveal your ambition so soon, actually trying to get my father to hand over the throne to you!"
"You claim to unify the world and promote the Samurai Kingdom, but you are actually using elixirs to cultivate your bloodline power and recruiting a group of mysterious people to work for you, turning the Samurai Kingdom into your own."
"But what I didn't expect is that you would actually try to kill me to consolidate your position!" Lan Ying's eyes were bloodshot, as if dripping with blood. "Today, it's either you or me! Let's fight!"
Looking at Lan Ying, Shangguan Honghuo coldly said, "Ying'er, you've already gone mad with demonic possession. I only attacked you to prevent you from harming others. Don't misunderstand..."
"You forced me to suffer a qi deviation!" Lan Ying was furious and drew her sword, charging directly at Shangguan Honghuo.
Shangguan Honghuo didn't move, but Di Moyue, who was beside him, rushed out first and stopped Lan Ying. "Your Highness, things are not as you think. Don't listen to slander and become someone else's executioner!"
Lan Ying coldly said, "Di Moyue, I have my own judgment on who is right and who is wrong! If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
Di Moyue frowned and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but in order to unify the country, I have to stop you."
"Enough with the nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight!"
Seeing the two locked in combat, Shangguan Honghuo anxiously checked the time and said to Di Moyue, "You stay here and hold her off. I'll take my men into the city!"
"Don't even think about leaving!" Lan Ying shouted, but she couldn't break free and was entangled by Di Moyue again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shangguan Honghuo led everyone towards the palace.
Seeing Shangguan Hong escape, Lan Ying angrily cursed, "Damn it! Di Moyue, do you really want to be my enemy?"
“Your Highness, the former Kingdom of Warriors no longer exists. Even if you kill the monarch now, it will be of no use!” Di Moyue said with a conflicted expression.
"To no avail? Am I not even qualified to avenge my blood feud?!" Lan Ying said angrily.
“The monarch’s goal is to unify the world. If Your Highness can assist him, he will certainly not treat you unfairly!” Di Moyue said anxiously.
"Hahaha!" Lan Ying laughed through her tears. "Me, assist him? He turned me into something neither human nor demon, and even defiled my purity by poisoning me. If it weren't for my good fortune, I would have died long ago in the Kingdom of Shuyi! You actually want me to assist him? You might as well force me to die—"
Upon hearing Lan Ying's words, Di Moyue stared at Lan Ying in shock. "You, what did you say?!"
Lan Ying laughed through her tears, "My country, my home, my innocence—he's ruined them all! Even if I die, I'll drag him down to hell with me!"
—Shangguan Hong continued his rampage, and Lan Ying's intervention to stop him was something he hadn't anticipated. "Damn woman, she survived my Seven-Day Killing Technique, she's incredibly lucky!"
Arriving at the palace gate, they stopped once again, where Cheng Xi and Huang Xi stood guard at the city gate, swords in hand.
"They arrived very quickly," Cheng Xi said calmly.
Huang Xi frowned. "Lan Ying lost so quickly?"
"No, she won't lose so easily!" Cheng Xi said with certainty, looking up at Shangguan Honghuo. "He must be her enemy, right?"
Huang Xi looked at Shangguan Honghuo with a gloomy expression and said, "He's obviously not a good person!"
Shangguan Hong smiled and said, "Ladies, would you do me a favor?"
