Translator: 549690339
Above Long Street, a slight breeze stirs the dust.
Facing three first-grade martial artists and ten or more second- and third-grade martial artists, along with countless Brocade Guards.
Pei Xuanjing, standing in the middle, showed no signs of being surrounded. He looked towards the Old Eunuch with a mocking smile, his cold voice declared, “The person whom I want to kill, I will certainly kill. Even if the emperor came, he will not be able to save him, I said so!”
The person I want to kill, even the emperor cannot save, I said so!
Silence!
Dead silence!
At this moment, the entire Long Street was so quiet that you couldn’t hear any noises other than the sound of the wind.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the young man standing defiantly with his sword in his hand, and at that moment, Long Street was silent.
Their looks were filled with shock filled with disbelief.
Nothing could describe their thoughts other than shock
The Great Ming empire has been established for nearly six hundred years, and the world has seen countless talents and heroes, but nobody has ever said such a thing.
Indeed, in this situation where martial artists hold a high status, and the royal family and martial artists rule together, the emperor’s position is not absolute. Pushed back by the joint force of officials and strong martial artists discontent, sometimes the emperor has to give in.
However, no one has ever so openly announced this, especially in front of so many people.
In the nearly six hundred years of the Great Ming empire, there has never been such arrogant language, and even if we were to look back through thousands of years, no one has ever spoken like this either.
“He really is one of the Remnants of Shenxiao!”
In the silent crowd, someone sighed with these words, which drew nods of agreement from everyone
If previously some people thought that this was simply Qian Ning, the command enforcer, pinning a crime on a political rival in order to eliminate him.
But when Pei Xuanjing said the aforementioned words, it practically confirmed his identity; no one was in doubt anymore.
“The impudent brat is courting death, daring to speak against the emperor!” The Old Eunuch Wang Zhi roared angrily at the words.
It must be said, when it comes to loyalty, this Old Eunuch is indeed the emperor’s good servant. He was more furious at Pei Xuanjing’s words than he was at his own insult.
Wang Zhi’s mysterious soft sword twisted like a silver snake, striking directly at Pei Xuanjing’s vital parts.
“How dare you, Remnant of Shenxiao, be disrespectful to the emperor. All of you, kill this brute!” Qian Ning also snapped back, ordering everyone to attack.
Don’t forget, the Brocade Guards are the emperor’s personal troops. Disrespect and humiliation of the emperor is tantamount to castigating the Brocade Guards.
All the masterful Brocade Guards in attendance, except for Ding Yulong, were infuriated and wanted to kill Pei Xuanjing on the spot to atone for his offense against the emperor.
Unfortunately, Pei Xuanjing was unfazed.
With a flick of his wrist, the Shenxiao Sword hummed, slashing out and wounding or killing several people.
Facing the Old Eunuch’s elusive sword strike, he was fearless. The divine sword in his hand swung down at the Old Eunuch first.
In the face of Pei Xuanjing’s overwhelming sword strike, Wang Zhi’s face drastically changed. He switched from offense to defense, shifting his body to dodge the sword.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanjing’s sword move was just a feint.
Seeing that Wang Zhi had sidestepped, Pei Xuanjing took several steps forward, swinging and hacking with the Shenxiao Sword, chopping down several people.
At that moment, the distance between him and Qian Ning, who had silently retreated a lot because of the Old Eunuch’s appearance, was less than ten feet.
“Stop him quickly!”
“Kill him.”
Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s movement, Old Eunuch Wang Zhi naturally understood the other party’s intention and loudly ordered everyone.
Unfortunately, all the elite Brocade Guards were no match for him.
Old Eunuch Wang Zhi, Bei Wenxuan from the Brocade Guards, and Ding Yulong, these three first-grade warriors who could potentially organize an attack against Pei Xuanjing, were conveniently the furthest from him, making it almost impossible to stop him.
The three men launched an attack on Pei Xuanjing’s back, hoping to distract him and force him to abandon his plan to assassinate Qian Ning.
Too bad!
Even though Pei Xuanjing sensed the three people’s attacks, he simply gave a cold sneer and totally ignored their attacks.
All he did was secrete the Blood Qi to fuel the Dragon Elephant Art, fortifying his muscles, skin, organs, blood, and bone marrow.
“L.r-•sc
“This man is crazy!”
“Are you courting death!”
Upon seeing Pei Xuanjing act so recklessly, choosing to face their attacks head-on, the three men felt both shock and fury.
They were shocked at Pei Xuanjing’s obsession with killing Qian Ning, and they were angry because he dared to ignore them.
Even if Pei Xuanjing had practiced a type of brute-force martial study, that was rather presumptuous of him.
It should be clear that there are no shortcuts in martial studies. With Pei Xuanjing’s age, no matter how gifted he is, how far would he have gotten in such martial study?
“Qian Ning, even though you are dying today, you could still eliminate this damned brat. You have served a purpose by dying, this old eunuch will definitely report everything you’ve done to the emperor, ensuring that you posthumously honored, blessing your descendants.” This was Old Eunuch Wang Zhi’s thought.
“If Qian Ning dies today, then my debts with him are cleared. I won’t have to deal with this mess anymore. Ah, a genius is going to fall today.” Ding Yulong thought.
“If this officer dies, then will the next one be willing to give us officers enough cultivation resources? However, I wonder what reward we could get for killing this Remnant of Shenxiao.” Bei Wenxuan pondered.
Obviously, these three had already determined the outcome facing Pei Xuanjing’s extreme approach.
In the face of Pei Xuanjing’s devastating attack, unless a surprise occurs, Qian Ning would certainly die, and Pei Xuanjing would be wounded by the three of them and be killed under their blades later.
Plitch!
Swish, swish, swish!
Usually, when you think nothing unexpected is going to happen, that is exactly when an unexpected event occurs.
Firstly, in the face of such murderous intention from Pei Xuanjingts sword, Qian Ning, despite being a second-grade martial artist, didn’t even have the strength to draw his sword and counterattack.
Pei Xuanjing swung his sword, and Qian Ning’s blood sprayed into the sky. His severed head flew into the air while his eyes were fixed on Pei Xuanjing. The disbelief was etched onto his face.
He never expected that someone of his high-ranking status would die like this.
He had thought of the possible ways in which he could die: being ostracised by the imperial court and beheaded by the emperor, or being framed by Jiang Bin and beheaded by the emperor’s order.
Or maybe his plans would be exposed, and his entire family would be executed.
But out of everything he had considered, he did not anticipate today’s situation — that he would be beheaded by a person who he had never considered a threat.
Regret, resentment, and disbelief filled his face….
