Chapter 187: Stepping on the Face
The Regent touched the dark coffin with his big hands like a necrophile.
He gazed at the long-dead empress dowager with tenderness in his eyes.
"Almost there..., wait for me..."
He was completely indifferent to Shen Tingyu, and the praise he said was more like a casual remark, without any sincerity at all.
Perhaps in his heart, she was too weak to be worth his attention, and he turned his back to Shen Tingyu.
Shen Tingyu caught the moment when he underestimated the enemy and broke the rope with both hands.
The rope crackled in the air.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the breaking seemed so abrupt in the closed and empty tomb.
When she was free, she grabbed the rope with her backhand and swung violently in the air.
Shen Tingyu's eyes lit up slightly, and he kicked the Regent twice on the back of the head.
"Eat your aunt's leg!"
The moment he turned around after hearing the sound, the Regent saw the rag doll swinging on a swing and flying towards his face. His eyes widened.
Two kicks, aimed at his head.
The Regent felt a buzzing in his head, and suddenly his eyes turned black, he saw stars, and his brain felt dizzy and painful.
He was kicked in the head with such force that he hit the coffin directly, and bounced back and staggered back a few steps.
The pain made him grimace and his face looked grim.
The doll hit someone!
It is so strong!
A super-powerful doll?!
He couldn't help but believe the facts.
There was a pool of fresh blood where the coffin was hit.
The shrewd eyes were dazed in disbelief. The Regent wiped the blood from under his nose, looked at Shen Tingyu for the first time, and laughed angrily.
"It is I who have underestimated you."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Shen Tingyu.
How could Shen Tingyu be caught by him? With the rope in hand, her figure kept shaking, and she looked like an elf in the jungle, small and flexible.
She made a face in the air and laughed playfully:
“You can’t catch it, you can’t catch it…”
After failing to catch her several times, the Regent was repeatedly kicked or stepped on in the face by her, causing severe pain in his head and face, and even a slight swelling on his cheeks.
The anger in his heart gradually grew. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
"You...you actually dared to step on my face!"
He pulled out a dagger as sharp as snow from his shoe, swung it closer, and his eyes flashed with ferocity.
"I should have burned you to death instead of keeping you alive until now."
Shen Tingyu looked at the dagger in the Regent's hand, then at the burning brazier placed under the rope, and his expression changed slightly.
His smile gradually faded, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart. When he saw something near the brazier, he had an idea in his mind.
Shen Tingyu dodged the dagger and kicked the Regent closest to her in the most vulnerable eye.
He used the force of the kick to hit the burial objects nearby, knocking the fire basin underground to the ground.
The blazing fire gradually turned into small flames, dispersed, and some of them went out directly.
The threat of the brazier was no longer there, and her fear was somewhat reduced.
The Regent cried out in pain, "My eyes... my eyes... hurt!"
His eyes were bloodshot, with a few streaks of red bloodshot. The Regent gradually couldn't straighten his back. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.
He was even more afraid of it than a demon, so he understood why the Queen Mother, who had been planning for many years, failed and even lost her life.
It turns out that the Queen Mother didn’t lose to His Majesty, but... lost to it!
At this time, the sound of a mechanism being triggered was heard outside the mausoleum, and the mechanism began to turn.
The Regent looked up and around, frowned, and muttered to himself.
"You came early, damn it! You came at the wrong time."
Being in the center of the mausoleum, Shen Tingyu felt the slight vibrations transmitted by the mechanisms from all directions.
How could the mechanism be triggered suddenly? It was you...you who tampered with the mechanism of the mausoleum."
The Regent chuckled and straightened his back.
"That's right. Since I escaped from the Dali Temple, I have been tinkering with the mausoleum's mechanisms. No one except me knows about these mechanisms."
"And now His Majesty is outside..."
As expected, he came here for the tyrant.
The Regent saw that she was in a daze and the cold light of the dagger attacked her.
Shen Tingyu dodged and raised his leg high, stepped on the dagger, and kicked his wrist.
In terms of flexibility, he is not as good as me at all.
The Regent's quick movements were still so slow in her eyes that she could catch them.
"Fairy, be careful!"
A magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
A group of people emerged from the entrance of the mausoleum, and the man in the lead was the tyrant.
His clothes were torn by a sharp blade, but there were no wounds on him; he just looked a little disheveled.
He looked at her with eyes full of worry, and rushed towards her regardless with sword in hand.
Seeing this, the Regent glared at Shen Tingyu, put away the dagger, and quickly retreated to the Queen Mother's coffin.
Shen Tingyu was caught by a pair of soft big hands.
What caught my eye were a pair of eyes that were bloodshot and dark and haggard beneath them.
Seeing that she was fine, Xin Hongying felt relieved and ate, breathing heavily in a low voice.
The Regent watched at ease, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a pair of extremely satisfied smiling eyes.
"I didn't expect His Majesty to arrive so soon, and I didn't expect General Luo to be here too!"
He clapped his thin hands vigorously and laughed unrestrainedly.
“That’s great!”
Shen Tingyu and his group looked at him with vigilance. Everyone knew that this was a trap set against them.
Xin Hongying's eyes were cold enough to freeze someone to death. He waved his hand and said, "Get started."
Luo Hun stood behind Xin Hongying, drawing his bow and arrow, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Facing the threats of cold arrows and long swords alone, the Regent sneered and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know why I am here?"
Xin Hongying didn't even look up at him, "I don't want to know."
He held Shen Tingyu in his arms with pity, carefully protecting her: "I was careless for a moment, let's go home now."
Shen Tingyu's eyes moved slightly.
The sound of the bowstring gradually being pulled into a full moon and General Luo's threatening eyes made the Regent touch the coffin, swallow his saliva, and feel a little nervous.
He hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"
"Your Majesty, don't you want to know why the Queen Mother hates you so much?"
"I can tell you why."
Xin Hongying suddenly turned his head, murderous intent surging in his eyes, staring at the Regent intently, his face filled with majestic coldness.
"My mother is dead, and everything has returned to dust. Father, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Tingyu tugged at his sleeve and reminded him, “Your Majesty, don’t believe him, he’s just stalling for time.”
The Regent's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands, which were behind his back as he approached the coffin, continued to move silently, turning the candlestick round and round.
