Nalan Yunzhi's moves became increasingly fierce like a storm, each one carrying the killing intent, as if to put his opponent to death. Yu Lianhuan fought back with all his might, the two of them fighting back and forth, the fight was fierce and inseparable.
In the fierce battle, Nalan Yunzhi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, keenly searching for Yu Lianhuan's flaws. Suddenly, she discovered a slight omission in Yu Lianhuan's attack and, without hesitation, took the sword thrown by Murong Jinghe and stabbed it into Yu Lianhuan's chest. Yu Lianhuan was startled, but it was too late to dodge. The sword blade flashed past like lightning, slicing her arm and causing blood to flow instantly.
Yu Lianhuan clutched her wound tightly, a look of astonishment and pain flashing across her eyes. She looked at Nalan Yunzhi in disbelief, anger and resentment welling up in her heart.
However, Nalan Yunzhi did not stop her sword. Her sword skills continued to attack like a torrential rain, not giving Yu Lianhuan any chance to breathe. Yu Lianhuan was exhausted and gradually lost the upper hand, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to give up easily.
"Nalan Yunzhi, you are just relying on your status as emperor. If it is a fair fight, can you beat me?" Yu Lianhuan's eyes were wide open, and fire seemed to be spewing from her eyes. She clenched her teeth tightly, and an angry voice squeezed out from between her teeth.
Her heart was filled with resentment. Whether it was the great general Feng Cailan or the emperor Nalan Yunzhi before her, in her eyes, they had only been able to ascend to their current high positions and wield power by virtue of their privileged backgrounds. And how could she, Yu Lianhuan, be inferior to them?
During the duel, Nalan Yunzhi had already recognized Yu Lianhuan's identity from her moves. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer: "Heh... Master Yu Lianhuan, hasn't anyone ever told you that birth is itself a part of strength?"
Nalan Yunzhi's words were tinged with sarcasm, like a sharp blade, piercing Yu Lianhuan's heart. She couldn't help but think of all her years of hard work, all the sweat she'd put into training day and night, but at that moment, it seemed like all wasted. Yu Lianhuan's face grew paler, and she clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.
However, after a brief period of self-reflection, Yu Lianhuan was not discouraged. She tied her injured arm with a handkerchief, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Even if you have the status of an emperor, what does it matter? In today's battle, I will make you know that I, Yu Lianhuan, am no ordinary person!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly snatched the sword from a guard like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, and used all her skills to start a more intense battle with Nalan Yunzhi.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows, whistling palm winds, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.
However, Nalan Yunzhi's strength was indeed superior, and she gradually gained the upper hand.
Suddenly, Yu Lianhuan slashed at Nalan Yunzhi's face like a ghost. Nalan Yunzhi dodged to the side and then kicked Yu Lianhuan in the abdomen. Yu Lianhuan groaned and took several steps back like a leaf swept by a strong wind.
"You still refuse to admit defeat?" Nalan Yunzhi sneered, "If you surrender now, I might be in a good mood and leave your body intact."
"Dream on!" Yu Lianhuan covered his stomach, endured the pain and rushed forward again.
Nalan Yunzhi's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand danced faster like lightning. In an instant, several more shocking scars appeared on Yu Lianhuan's body.
However, the arrogant Yu Lianhuan was still unwilling to give up and once again picked up the knife to fight like a trapped beast.
At this critical moment, Nalan Yunyi slashed at Yu Lianhuan's left arm with a sword. Yu Lianhuan finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground like a withered flower.
This thrilling battle came to an end.
Nalan Yunzhi's eyes were fierce and oppressive, and she looked down at Yu Lianhuan with a condescending attitude. Yu Lianhuan knelt on the ground, covering his broken arm with his left hand, and screams of pain echoed around him.
"You are so good, Yu Lianhuan. You are just the leader of a small killer organization, yet you dare to challenge others? You are really tired of living!" Nalan Yunzhi's disdainful snort was mixed with anger and contempt.
After receiving the order, Murong Jinghe quickly led his men to control Yu Lianhuan. Yu Lianhuan's eyes revealed despair and unwillingness.
Ouyang Yuming stared at all this in a daze. The pain in his stomach made his face pale. He struggled to crawl towards Yu Lianhuan, muttering, "Huanhuan..."
Yu Lianhuan heard Ouyang Yuming's voice and turned her gaze towards him. The coldness in her eyes instantly turned into tenderness. She knew that she was a martial arts expert, but she couldn't even protect the man she loved. She was filled with self-blame and helplessness.
"Mingming, I boast of my outstanding martial arts skills in vain, but in the end, I can't even protect the man I want to protect..." Yu Lianhuan's voice was full of sadness and resentment, and tears slid down her cheeks.
Seeing this shameless couple flirting so brazenly in front of her, Nalan Yunzhi's expression darkened, like the dark clouds before a storm. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, and her cold gaze pierced the couple like a sharp blade.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her lips trembling slightly as she fought to suppress the rage within her. However, her voice was as cold as ice, as she ordered the inner court guards beside her in a cold and firm tone, "Pull Ouyang Yuming away!"
The inner court guards dared not neglect the slightest, knowing full well that Nalan Yunzhi's rage had reached its peak. Upon receiving the order, two guards sprang into action, striding forward with resolute steps. Their expressions were stern and grim, their eyes revealing a hint of determination.
Ouyang Yuming seemed to want to resist, but his strength was far inferior to that of the two well-trained inner court guards. The guards easily pinned him down, preventing him from taking another step toward Yu Lianhuan. A look of astonishment and resignation crossed Ouyang Yuming's face. He struggled to break free from the guards' restraints, but it was all in vain.
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen. Nalan Yunzhi watched all this with a cold gaze, her heart filled with pain and resentment.
"Hmm..." Ouyang Yuming frowned, his face pale. A sudden sharp pain came from his stomach, like a surging tide. He clutched his stomach tightly with both hands, his body trembling uncontrollably, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Then, as if losing its support, his body fell limply to the ground. With a painful groan, an unborn fetus was quietly delivered.
"Your Majesty..." A palace servant carefully placed the dead fetus on a tray and presented it to Nalan Yunzhi. The dead fetus on the tray was lifeless, which made people feel pity.
Nalan Yunzhi's eyes swept over Ouyang Yuming and Yu Lianhuan indifferently, the indifference and coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze people. She opened her lips slightly and said leisurely, "Chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"
