Chapter 346 Now, is he going to lose his butterfly again?
"You half-human, half-ghost monster, don't touch my brother!"
Xie Shian knocked Lin Wei over and attacked Xie Zhe from behind like a madman.
The others noticed something unusual on Xie Guanlan's side and quickly followed Xie Shian to attack him.
"Looking for death!" Xie Zhe grinned and swung the giant sword with ease.
It was such a terrifyingly huge knife that should have been extremely heavy in the hand, but it was inexplicably nimble in Xie Zhe's hand, and even if everyone worked together to block it, it was still difficult.
Chen Lezhi was the first to be knocked away by the back of the knife.
The girl slammed heavily against the distant wall and fell like a leaf in the wind.
"Happy!"
Chen Yushi was distracted and called out anxiously.
At this very moment, Xie Zhe found the opportunity.
The blade swept across like a huge wave. Although Xiangjun and others held Xie Zhe back in time, the blade still brushed past Chen Yushi's waist and abdomen, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.
Xie Zhe is too strong.
Even if everyone unites, they are no match for him!
Half of Xie Guanlan's brocade robe was splattered with blood.
He stood there quietly, his eyelids drooping, his messy hair on his forehead soaked with sweat, casting a shadow on his face, making it difficult to see his expression.
Wen Xingluo stared at his back and called softly, "Ziheng?"
Xie Guanlan seemed not to hear.
—Xie Guanlan, is this all you have? The woman you love is right behind you, can you really protect her?!
Xie Zhe's mocking words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
He has been trying to protect his family since he was a child.
But when he was young, he was unable to protect his mother who died of poisoning in the snow.
As he grew older, he thought he had become stronger, but he still could not protect his second brother who had taken his place as a hostage in the capital, nor could he protect his aunt who had been persecuted to death by the eunuchs.
He couldn't get his third brother to come home, and he almost watched his youngest brother lose his legs right before his eyes.
besides……
And the woman he loved.
When he was young, his favorite butterfly was killed by his teacher.
Now, is he going to lose his butterfly again?
A thin drop of sweat rolled down the tip of Xie Guanlan's tall nose.
He suddenly and slowly undressed.
He threw away the scarlet narrow-sleeved brocade robe and only wore a pair of pine green robe and pants.
"Ziheng..."
Wen Xingluo frowned worriedly and opened his lips silently.
The young man stood there, his back muscles were tight and beautiful, and the lines stretched to his lower back, like a narrow knife gradually closing in.
A thin trickle of sweat slowly flowed through his muscles, and every inch of muscle rose and fell slightly with his breathing. It was hard and firm as if it had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, making people wonder what kind of powerful and terrifying power was hidden in this young body.
How could it be useless?
I studied hard thousands of times and practiced archery and horse riding thousands of times.
He is a sharp blade forged by the Zhenbei Palace over a period of twenty years.
How could all that hard work day and night be in vain?
He was born...
It’s to protect everyone!
Just when Xie Zhe was laughing in triumph and planning to get rid of Xie Shian and others in one fell swoop, Xie Guanlan finally made a move.
“Xie Zhe——!”
Xie Guanlan roared the name he had hated for many years, his boots stepped on the back of the huge knife, and like a wind blowing in his face, he leaped up along the back of the knife!
The fist was like steel, smashing fiercely on Xie Zhe's head!
Xie Zhe was caught off guard!
He took a dozen steps back, and finally stood still. His smile became more and more ferocious and crazy. "I thought you had lost all your fighting spirit, but I didn't expect—"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Guanlan turned into a shadow again!
Before Xie Zhe could even react, the young man had already attacked him!
Fists rushed to hit Xie Zhe's face.
Xie Guanlan spoke quickly, "Shouldn't the emperor love his people like his own children?! Why torture others?! Is power really that important?! Xie Zhe, no one in this world loves you. What good is praying for immortality?! Someone like you, even if you live for five hundred years, or even a thousand years, still won't be loved by anyone!"
Xie Zhe was beaten back repeatedly.
He was furious, "Xie Guanlan! How dare you!"
He swung his sword, carrying with him an overwhelming murderous intent, and slashed heavily at Xie Guanlan!
Xie Guanlan punched the knife.
Time seemed to stand still.
Wen Xingluo clearly caught the slowly cracking lines on the blade.
The next moment, the blade completely shattered!
"Xie Guanlan!"
Xie Zhe's voice was filled with anger and an inexplicable tremor.
Xie Guanlan staggered back a few steps.
Blood dripped from between his fingers.
He was completely unaware of the pain. Instead, he raised his thin lips in a provocative and arrogant manner towards Xie Zhe, "Come on, let's have the purest contest between men. Let's see whether you can sit firmly on the throne, or whether I, Xie, can protect the Zhenbei Palace... and the woman I love."
The young man's calmness and high spirits made Xie Zhe's twisted and old face reveal a hint of timidity.
He didn't understand why Xie Guanlan still had the courage to stand there when he had been forced to that point and everyone around him had fallen down one after another?
Why did he dare to fight him?
Without time to think too much, Xie Zhe was forced to meet Xie Guanlan.
Both of them lost their weapons.
Fight with flesh and every punch hits the flesh!
Xie Zhe's dragon robe was torn to pieces, and his long hair, mixed with black and white, was flying in disarray.
He fended off Xie Guanlan's bloodthirsty moves, and as the opponent grew braver with each fight, the slight trace of timidity he had just felt was infinitely magnified.
Will you lose?
Over the years, he won over the Wei royal family, and he won over his father and stepmother.
He has been the emperor for so long, holding great power and being omnipotent. Will he lose it all today?
Once timidity creeps into your heart, all your courage disappears.
Xie Zhe suddenly wanted to escape from the battlefield.
However, Xie Guanlan did not give him a chance.
Xie Zhe was hit hard in the abdomen. He flew backwards, spitting out a few bloody teeth, and finally fell to the ground trembling as if exhausted.
The long gray hair looks like messy dead grass.
He opened his mouth to say something, but blood rushed out of his lips and teeth.
The effect of the elixir seemed to have reached its limit. His body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his hair turned increasingly white!
Xie Guanlan also stumbled and fell to the ground.
He covered his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His condition was not much better. In addition to skin injuries, he had two broken ribs and his internal organs were also injured.
He raised his narrow, bloodshot eyes.
Fortunately...
Fortunately, Xie Zhe was finally dealt with.
"Ziheng!"
Wen Xingluo handed Wei Ying to Xie Zan and ran to Xie Guanlan worriedly.
Xie Guanlan held her hand tightly.
Wen Xingluo snuggled up to him with red eyes, then thought of something and looked at Xie Zhe again.
Xie Zhe picked up his hair tremblingly.
He looked at the white hair and couldn't help shaking violently with fear.
"How could this be... I am the Son of Heaven. How could the Son of Heaven... How could he grow old?"
