"Surrender! We surrender!"
"We are willing to submit to the Immortal Master!"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
Outside the city of Jinling, sounds of surrender were heard one after another. The defenders who came to support Jinling threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.
The defenders did not have the courage to fight any longer. The enemy's attack was too fierce, and the firearms were enough to destroy their strongest line of defense.
Seeing their companions being blown to pieces made the defenders completely collapse.
The defeat was like a landslide!
Soon, the Jinling defenders knelt down in a large crowd and surrendered.
Xiao Yu on the city wall was so angry when he saw this scene. He was still thinking about his army rushing out to fight a decisive battle with Pei Yun's army.
When both sides were almost exhausted, he sent out 100,000 imperial guards to deal the final blow to Pei Yun.
As a result, not long after the fight started, all the people on his side surrendered. This was simply outrageous.
The commander of the imperial guards and the masters of the palace were all stunned. This was probably the war with the fastest surrender. What should they do now? If the enemy wanted to attack, they would not be able to stop them.
Although the equipment and combat power of the imperial guards surpassed those of the supporting garrison, they could not withstand the thunder and lightning tubes.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yu, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Pei Yun's voice sounded.
"Whoever captures Xiao Yu will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and be made a marquis of ten thousand households!"
When Xiao Yu heard the shout, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had said the same thing to his soldiers before, and now Pei Yun had said it back to him.
But I am the emperor and you are a rebel. It is ridiculous that you set the reward for capturing me to be the same as yours.
If you capture me, you should at least make me a king and a prime minister.
The old eunuch beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, let me protect you as you leave. The enemy is strong and may not be able to do anything good to you."
This old eunuch is a top-notch master and has always been the leader of the masters in the palace.
Xiao Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "Let's go! Where can I go now?"
This is my palace, I would rather die here. He really regretted it in his heart. If he had known Pei Yun was so strong, he should not have forced him, but should have recruited him.
If Pei Yun assisted him, he might be able to defeat the Northern Hu and recover the lost land.
Unfortunately, one wrong step led to another. It’s no use regretting now.
He looked at the approaching Pei Yun army, took a deep breath, and prepared to make a final struggle.
"My fellow soldiers, follow me and fight!"
After saying this, he drew out the emperor's sword and jumped down from the city wall, followed closely by thousands of palace masters.
One hundred thousand imperial guards also rushed out of the city gate.
Among the entire army of the Da Jing Dynasty, only the imperial guards and the palace masters were loyal to the emperor. Seeing Xiao Yu personally going into battle, their morale was boosted and they lined up to charge towards Pei Yun's army.
Pei Yun saw Xiao Yu was still struggling and shook his head. "Why bother? If you surrender, I can still give you dignity. After all, you are Zhiruo's father..."
Pei Yun didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear: if he resisted stubbornly, he would die!
The three hundred assassins from Yanyu Tower and the people from Cangjian Villa faced off against the masters of the Imperial Palace, while Xiao Yan and Xiao Heng commanded their troops to attack the imperial guards.
Ye Zhaoyuan and Chen Yanyu fought against the old eunuch together, but with their strength, they could only fight the old eunuch to a draw.
Leng Qingqiu stood beside Pei Yun without moving, in case any expert attacked Pei Yun by surprise.
Ye Jinghong rushed towards Xiao Yu. If he could capture Xiao Yu, it would be a great achievement.
There's no suspense.
Xiao Yu is only a third-rate fighter and is no match for Ye Jinghong. Other masters of the Imperial Palace all have opponents and are unable to protect him. Ye Jinghong captures Xiao Yu with one move.
He didn't even ask Pei Yun's opinion and directly cut off Xiao Yu's head.
Pei Yun nodded secretly. Ye Jinghong was indeed good at handling things. If he really wanted to capture Xiao Yu and ask him how to deal with it, Pei Yun would find it difficult to handle it.
The main consideration was Xiao Zhiruo. Although Xiao Yu did not raise her, there were reasons for that. And after all, he was Xiao Zhiruo's biological father, so it was difficult for Pei Yun to do anything.
But Ye Jinghong’s approach was different.
"Xiao Yu is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Ye Jinghong shouted while holding Xiao Yu's head, and the faces of the palace masters and imperial guards who were still fighting changed.
The emperor is dead, why are they still fighting? They all surrendered.
"emperor!"
When the old eunuch saw Xiao Yu's head, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared. All his energy surged, pushing the [Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong] he practiced to the extreme.
"You bastard! Even if I risk my life today, I will drag you to be buried with the emperor!"
Having said that, he went straight towards Pei Yun.
Ye Zhaoyuan and Shen Yanyu's faces changed and they hurried to stop them. Ye Jinghong and Leng Qingqiu also rushed over at this time, and the four of them fought against the old eunuch together.
But the old eunuch was too strong, his internal energy had reached perfection, and an energy wall appeared, blocking the attacks of the four people.
Ye Zhaoyuan's face was solemn. It was the first time he met such a strong top-notch master.
The sword technique was unleashed, and immediately it rushed towards the old eunuch like a surging river.
The other three also used their unique skills, but none of them could effectively stop him. Seeing the old eunuch approaching Pei Yun, Shen Yanyu gritted her teeth and frantically activated the [Xuanming Cold Marrow Skill].
The temperature around him dropped instantly, ice crystals formed in the air, and his black hair turned silver.
Ye Zhaoyuan was shocked. "You are using your skills like this, are you trying to save your life?"
Shen Yanyu said coldly: “This eunuch is also practicing the Ten Great Skills. If I don’t do this, I can’t stop him.”
After saying this, he rushed towards the old eunuch like a ghost and clapped his palms. Suddenly, an invisible air wall appeared around the old eunuch. The extremely cold air froze the air wall, and cracks appeared in the next second, breaking like ice crystals.
"Mysterious Cold Marrow Technique!"
The old eunuch was startled, and his body paused for a moment in the extreme cold. He felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze at this moment.
He roared and was about to force the cold air out of his body, but at this moment, Ye Zhaoyuan seized the opportunity and stabbed him with a sword.
This sword used up all his strength, and it was as dazzling as a rainbow piercing the sun.
"laugh--"
The sword pierced through the air, and the tip of the sword accurately pierced the old eunuch's throat three inches away.
"Ah..." The old eunuch's eyes widened, his skinny hands tightly grasped the sword blade, blood immediately dripped between his fingers. His energy surged wildly, making it difficult for the sword to move forward!
Ye Zhaoyuan's eyes narrowed. The opponent was hit by the Xuanming Cold Marrow Skill, but he was still able to block his sword. The Tiangang Boy Skill was indeed one of the ten great skills, with extremely strong defense.
Just at this moment, Leng Qingqiu and Ye Jinghong stabbed with swords from the left and right.
The old eunuch could no longer resist. He heard the sound of ice crystals shattering inside his body. His whole body trembled violently, and blood mixed with ice chips flowed out of his seven orifices.
Ye Zhaoyuan's sword finally broke through the obstacle and killed the enemy with one strike!
The old eunuch staggered to Xiao Yu's side, slowly knelt down, and died.
