In desperation, he could only use his internal energy to raise his hand and catch Yu Nanqing's attack with his bare hands.
With a "plop" sound, the sword pierced through flesh without drawing a drop of blood. Xiao Chensheng's wrist was pierced by the longsword by half an inch, almost severing his entire hand!
In terms of skill, he was no match for Yu Nanqing.
As for poison... Yu Nanqing also has the antidote given by Su Wanyan!
He had modified the hallucinogenic drug, originally thinking it would work on Yu Nanqing, but unexpectedly...
Xiao Chensheng couldn't help but laugh. Yes, he knew the ingredients of the Hundred-Cure Pill. To guard against him, that little girl must have modified the Hundred-Cure Pill!
Xiao Chensheng tried to fly backward to create distance between himself and Yu Nanqing, but he heard a "hiss" sound, the sound of flesh being torn apart.
Before Xiao Chensheng could react, he saw Yu Nanqing's five fingers turn into claws, and he didn't know when she had pierced through his heart!
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, feeling nothing at all. At that moment, his face was devoid of smiles and anger, and instead, for the first time, it displayed a terror that no one had ever seen before!
He had no choice but to muster all his inner strength and strike Yu Nanqing's chest with a palm, hoping to gain a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Yu Nanqing raised her right hand and forcefully caught his palm strike, then turned her hand into a claw and tightly restrained his wrist.
Xiao Chensheng's mind went blank. Looking at Yu Nanqing's seemingly irrational expression, he knew something was wrong!
The thought had barely formed in his mind when suddenly, Yu Nanqing ripped off Xiao Chensheng's entire right arm!
"Damn!" Although there was no gushing blood as I had imagined, it would be a lie to say it didn't hurt!
Xiao Chensheng gritted his teeth and suppressed the painful cry in his throat!
My mind went blank for a moment, something I hadn't experienced in a long time!
In that instant, Yu Nanqing raised his right hand again, this time aiming for Xiao Chensheng's head!
The longsword that Yu Nanqing had discarded stuck straight into the ground!
Once he made a move, Yu Nanqing never gave his enemy the slightest chance. At this moment, there was only one word in his mind: kill!
If he can't kill Xiao Chensheng, then he'll pierce his heart, tear off his limbs, and smash his head!
The clash of their inner forces created a hurricane throughout the hall. Before anyone, including the Empress Dowager, could react, Yu Nanqing had already channeled his inner force and struck Xiao Chensheng's face directly.
Xiao Chensheng stared wide-eyed. He never imagined he would be in such a sorry state. He thought that even if Yu Nanqing was not as good as him, they could still go toe-to-toe!
But unexpectedly...
No, it's that Yu Nanqing's skills improved considerably during his time in Fucheng.
However, before he could even finish his hesitation, Yu Nanqing's claws were already upon him.
That's too fast!
Xiao Chensheng couldn't keep up with Yu Nanqing's speed at all, and had almost no time to react, but...
Xiao Chensheng gritted his teeth and poured his inner strength into the long pipe. Suddenly, the long pipe seemed to come alive and quickly transformed into a blood-red barrier!
With a loud "bang," the main hall was shattered, stones flew everywhere, and a cloud of dust rose!
The moment he made his move, Yu Nanqing's brow furrowed involuntarily.
In that brief moment of space, Xiao Chensheng quickly distanced himself from Yu Nanqing amidst the smoke and dust. The hole in his chest was a horrifying sight. Although his head was saved, half of his face was damaged, exposing the white bone, making him look extremely ferocious!
With a burst of internal energy, the smoke and dust dissipated. Yu Nanqing opened his hand and looked at the thing that had landed in his palm. He didn't know how to describe it. It looked like a dark red stone, but it felt soft to the touch.
In a short while, it turned into fine sand and fell to the ground, eventually disappearing without a trace like smoke and dust.
Xiao Chensheng clutched his pierced chest, gasping for breath. His face was disfigured, and even his vision had become blurred.
The Empress Dowager stared in disbelief at Xiao Chensheng's miserable state, staggering as she slumped onto the dragon throne: "Impossible... This is impossible!"
The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and ordered, "Kill him quickly! Aren't you good at controlling people's hearts? Control them! Kill them all! Kill Yu Nanqing!"
Xiao Chensheng almost laughed when he heard this. Now, let alone killing Yu Nanqing, he was lucky to even keep his own life.
It's a pity that the pipe he made with secret techniques was his ultimate weapon, but in the end it was used to save his life!
Moreover, because it was made using a secret technique, it can only be used once...
Our prized weapon of mass destruction... just like that, it's gone.
If Yu Nanqing makes another move, he won't be so lucky to survive again.
"I appointed you as the Imperial Advisor! I didn't expect this to be the outcome! Attack! Attack!" The Empress Dowager glared at Xiao Chensheng, shouting hysterically!
"Guards! Where are the Imperial Guards? Seize them!" The Empress Dowager roared towards the outside of the palace!
"By order of His Majesty, the Imperial Guards are to stand by and await His Majesty's command!" Su Wanyan's voice slowly echoed in the hall.
Yu Nanqing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked towards the palace gate.
Su Wanyan was dressed simply in plain clothes, her ponytail tied high at the back of her head. She was accompanied not only by Luo Xue, but also by Tian Zhong.
Upon hearing Su Wanyan's words, the Empress Dowager was completely stunned: "Impossible... This is impossible... The Imperial Guard's orders are in my hands, how could this be..."
Looking at the people in the hall who had been drugged, Su Wanyan picked up a copper tube, put it in her mouth and blew on it, and a wisp of white smoke dissipated in the hall.
Instantly, the young emperor's eyes, which had just been drugged, regained their clarity, and even the dizziness disappeared.
Tanaka stepped forward and raised the Imperial Guard's command token: "The command token is here, Empress Dowager, you have nowhere to escape! Surrender obediently!"
"Ha!" The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth: "Don't be too happy yet. I have already ordered Si Yang to surround the palace! Su Shixu's army is also rushing into the city. Do you really think you can escape?"
"Si Yang, who came to provide support, has been stopped by General Lü, and Su Shixu has also been captured. The Duke of Changguo's Mansion, the Duke of Shunguo's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all the officials of the Three Departments and Six Ministries in the city support the Emperor's campaign against the Empress Dowager. Now all the officials are guarding outside the palace gates, ready to await the Emperor's orders at any time!"
"Empress Dowager, do you have anything else to say?" Tanaka asked coldly.
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale instantly, and even her dignified makeup could not conceal the shock and bewilderment she felt upon hearing these words.
Why? Why?
She couldn't understand it!
That's enough, that's enough!
At this point, it doesn't matter anymore!
"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"
The main hall remained silent for a long time.
The Empress Dowager suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yu Nanqing! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!" Her face contorted with rage as she gripped the armrest of the dragon throne, mocking the crowd below with scorn: "Yu Jing'an! Do you think you can hold onto your throne? Even if I'm gone, there are thousands upon thousands more like me!"
She pointed sharply at Yu Nanqing: "You think he won't seize power? No! He won't! He'll take your position sooner or later! Perhaps after I die, perhaps even today! That's his goal; you'll never be able to hold onto this position!"
