Chapter 124, 11 Kills!
Chapter 124 One by one, they were killed!
The voices of Zhu Junzhang and Zhu Chongyao grew farther and farther away, until the assembled princes could no longer hear their pleas for mercy.
However, the vassal king who remained in place was still unable to recover from the tense atmosphere he had just witnessed.
For the first time, they felt how close they were to death, so close that it was right in front of them.
The Prince of Ning, the Prince of Shu, the Prince of Tang, the Prince of Zhou—these vassal kings felt a deep sense of fear.
Since the reign of Emperor Xuande, the Ming Dynasty had never executed a prince; they had not tasted death for far too long.
Their long-term pampered life and privileged status have made them forget the taste of fear.
Today, Zhu Houzhao's ruthless methods reminded them of all of this.
At that moment, they finally understood that in the face of death, all wealth and glory are nothing but fleeting clouds.
Zhu Houzhao ignored the terrified princes and focused his attention on the battle in the palace.
The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant.
Many battles remain deadlocked and entangled, with no clear victor.
For example, Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian joined forces to resist the offensive of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.
Zhu Wushi's Absorption Technique was not yet fully mastered, so he couldn't gain any advantage against the combined forces of the Sword Saint and the Sword God.
After all, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are both masters who have already reached the pinnacle of this world.
The fact that the three of them were able to hold off Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue was largely due to the unorthodox nature of the Absorption Technique.
In addition, there was a nine-person melee group consisting of four members of the Ming Cult and five members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Shen Lian and the four guards of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, through their tacit cooperation, managed to hold off Yang Xiao and Fan Yao.
Furthermore, taking advantage of their home field, they fought steadily and made the Ming Cult members anxious, forcing them to reveal many weaknesses, and the situation remained stable with a slight advantage.
However, in many battles, the outcome has already been decided.
After dodging Duan Tianya's attack, Huo Xiu was about to fight Duan Tianya to the death, but Duan Tianya missed his first strike and immediately disappeared into the darkness, not giving him a chance to fight for a long time.
After hesitating for two seconds, Huo Xiu chose to run away again. However, Leng Xue and Zhui Ming suddenly sprang into action. One of them kicked Huo Xiu horizontally, while the other wielded a sword and slashed at Huo Xiu.
Eleven deadly kicks!
Forty-nine Nameless Swords!
There are no fixed moves; the only goal is to kill with a single blow.
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
Every move is deadly!
"Get out of here!"
Huo Xiu's eyes were bloodshot. He used the Boy's Skill he had cultivated for decades to withstand Zhui Ming's Eleven Legs and knock away Leng Xue's Forty-Nine Nameless Swords.
Just as he seized the opportunity to escape the combined attack of Leng Xue and Zhui Ming, a sharp sword strike came from behind him!
The sword is behind me!
Huo Xiu caught sight of the direction from which the sword strike was coming from behind him. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he immediately turned around, reaching for his sword with one hand while channeling his inner energy with the other to strike the heart of the attacker!
"What?!"
Huo Xiu reached out with both hands, only to find nothing behind him. The killing intent that had just solidified seemed to have vanished without a trace in an instant.
No, it didn't disappear; perhaps it never existed at all.
"Damn it! Is this a hallucination?!"
Just then, a long sword pierced through Huo Xiu's back and emerged from his chest.
Blood flowed from Huo Xiu's heart.
The sword was in front of him.
Iga Style, Phantom Sword!
"ah!!!
'
After being hit, Huo Xiu suddenly roared and used all his strength to strike behind him.
However, Huo Xiu's back was empty. After Duan Tianya's successful attack, he did not linger and disappeared back into the darkness.
Huo Xiu's attack hit thin air again, leaving him with a sense of frustration, as if he had power but nowhere to use it.
However, before he could have any extra energy to think, Leng Xue and Zhui Ming relentlessly pursued him and launched another pincer attack.
The Eleven Life-Chasing Legs and Forty-Nine Nameless Swords were unleashed simultaneously, forcing Huo Xiu into repeated defeats despite his severe injuries.
"No!"
Huo Xiu roared, his voice filled with resentment.
But the next moment, Zhui Ming kicked Huo Xiu in the chest, aggravating Huo Xiu's injuries and causing Huo Xiu to stagger backward.
At that moment, Zhui Ming calmly thrust out his longsword, severing the throat with a single strike!
Duan Tianya's figure reappeared mysteriously, his long sword sweeping horizontally towards Huo Xiu's head!
"what!"
Amidst Huo Xiu's horrified screams, Leng Xue and Duan Tianya joined forces and severed Huo Xiu's head!
The unexpected turn of events in Huo Xiu's battle has alarmed everyone in the martial arts world of the capital.
Although many martial arts practitioners died within the palace, they were all insignificant and not worth mentioning.
But Huo Xiu was the renowned master of the Green Robe Pavilion, and he was the first of the top martial arts masters to die.
His death deeply affected the other top martial arts masters in the palace who were engaged in fierce battles.
Because they suddenly realized that even with their skills, the imperial court was capable of killing them!
To escape, they had to gather all the power they could.
Master Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers of the martial world, we've all fallen into a trap! This is a scheme deliberately set up by that brat emperor!"
"To survive, we must unite!"
"Everyone, gather around me! Let's break out together!"
Mu Daoren was renowned in the martial arts world. When he shouted, the people in the martial arts world nearby rushed towards him as if they had grasped a lifeline.
The wooden Taoist stirred up the water, and a surge of joy filled his heart. He turned around and prepared to escape in the chaos.
But a swift, ever-present blade of light forced the wooden Taoist back.
Guihai Yidao, wielding a long sword, unleashed a merciless slash, firmly halting Mu Daoren's escape.
"Stubborn to the end!"
"The Overlord Blade's Ruthless Slash cannot harm me!"
The sword in Mu Daoren's hand faintly emitted the sounds of wind and thunder as he unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Technique, slashing towards Guihai.
Gui Hai sheathed his sword, his entire offensive power concealed within the sword energy: "Since the Heartless Slash doesn't work, then let's try this move."
Gui Hai drew his sword, and a surge of demonic energy swept across the area, creating extremely terrifying illusions.
"What?!"
While Mu Daoren was still in a daze, the tip of Guihai Yidao's blade had already slashed in front of him.
Dominate the world!
This move is an extremely powerful and evil sword technique left behind by Guihai Bailian, the father of Guihai Yidao.
Its power is several times that of the Heartless Slash, and its destructive power is terrifying.
Guihai Yidao rarely uses this move because it erodes the cultivator's mind, gradually leading them to demonic possession.
But given the current situation, he couldn't care less about anything else and unleashed this most powerful strike.
The Wood Daoist was completely focused, his mind entirely on this one strike. He thrust out his long sword, attempting to use Heavenly Thunder to meet it head-on.
The moment the swords clashed, Master Mu realized something was wrong.
He looked down in shock and found a sword tip protruding from his chest.
"what!"
Mu Daoren roared, unleashing a torrent of powerful internal energy that forced back the combined attack of Guihai Yidao and Duan Tianya.
But just as he had exhausted his old strength and had not yet gained new strength, Leng Xue and Zhui Ming seized the opportunity and launched a pincer attack on Mu Daoren!
"Get out of here, all of you!"
With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Mu Daoren endured several blows from Leng Xue and Zhui Ming, paying a heavy price for his injuries, before finally forcing Leng Xue and Zhui Ming to retreat once more.
Duan Tianya and Gui Haiyi's swords had already fallen on Mu Daoren once again.
"Damn it!"
In the end, Mu Daoren fell to the combined attack of Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, Leng Xue, and Zhui Ming.
The deaths of Huo Xiu and Mu Daoren profoundly affected the battle situation for everyone in the palace.
Guihai Yidao and others might find themselves somewhat overwhelmed when facing top experts like Mu Daoren alone.
However, as their numbers increased, and with the use of a rotation tactic, even top martial arts masters like Huo Xiu and Mu Daoren were forced to meet their end at their hands.
The more people die, the more manpower they have freed up to participate in the next battle.
After dealing with Huo Xiu and Mu Daoren, the four of them, with perfect understanding, moved into the battle zone between Tie Shou and Abbess Miejue.
Abbess Miejue was originally suppressing Iron Hand with an absolute advantage.
But the next moment, she felt an astonishing killing intent from all directions.
Dominate the world!
Iga Style: Phantom Sword!
Eleven deadly kicks!
Forty-nine Nameless Swords!
Four fierce attacks were simultaneously directed at Abbess Miejue's body.
Four streams of pure true energy clashed and wreaked havoc within her body.
"No!"
Abbess Miejue let out a mournful cry as all the meridians in her body were severed, she coughed up blood, and died with her eyes wide open.
"master!"
"You bunch of lackeys of the imperial court, get out of my way!"
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked and furious, and immediately rushed forward to try to stop everyone from attacking Abbess Miejue.
But the next moment, these four imperial lackeys who had just killed Abbess Miejue, with fierce killing intent, attacked Zhou Zhiruo.
They showed no mercy, determined to turn Zhou Zhiruo into mincemeat!
Zhang Wuji, who was constantly besieging Cheng Shifei with Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng, was actually keeping an eye on Zhou Zhiruo's movements.
At this moment, seeing that Zhou Zhiruo was about to be surrounded by four people, Zhang Wuji, who was extremely anxious, immediately abandoned Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng and rushed towards Zhou Zhiruo.
"stop!"
With a single move of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, Zhang Wuji instantly arrived beside Zhou Zhiruo.
With the powerful Nine Yang Divine Skill erupting, Zhang Wuji temporarily protected Zhou Zhiruo at the cost of injury.
"What?!"
"Ji'er! Don't go, come back!"
"Zhang Wuji! What are you doing?! Come back here!"
'
Zhang Wuji's departure from Cheng Shifei's pursuit relieved the pressure Cheng Shifei was under.
Cheng Shifei's martial arts skills were not developed by himself, but rather he received all of Gu Santong's power transmission.
Therefore, Cheng Shifei's martial arts skills were ridiculously high, and coupled with Zhang Wuji's suppression, he was put at a disadvantage.
But as soon as Zhang Wuji left, Yin Tianzheng and Xie Xun immediately felt immense pressure from Cheng Shifei!
"I said, you two, haven't you had enough?"
Cheng Shifei roared and unleashed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its fullest extent. He threw a punch that directly shattered Xie Xun's head!
At the same time, a horizontal kick broke Yin Tianzheng's sternum, sending him flying.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Wuji opened his mouth in horror and let out a shrill scream.
"No!
