After Gong Xingqiu killed several top Factory Guards, he didn’t bother to glance at the remaining ones. Leading a few people carrying an intimidating aura, he walked towards where the Emperor’s carriage was parked.
At present, the only powerful people remaining near the Emperor’s carriage were Qingyang Zi, Pei Xuanjing, Jiang Bin, the Supervisors of both the East and West Factories, and that mysterious first-grade Martial Artist from the royal family.
“Dog emperor, today is your death day!”
Gong Xingqiu, leading several top-notch martial artists, halted several dozen feet from the royal carriage and roared.
Sides suddenly clashed, and a fight broke out.
The Flowing Flame Sword on Pei Xuanjing’s waist was sharply unsheathed, stirring up sand and dead twigs. The circulation of the Shenxiao Heavenly Intent triggered changes in the surroundings, and he attacked the expert from the Mire Sect in front of him.
At the same time, Jiang Bin unleashed a potent aura. His visible Blood Qi smelting furnace conveyed to all that, not only was this well-known Commanding Officer high -ranking, but he was also a third-grade Martial Artist skilled in Martial Arts.
The Supervisors from the east and west factories next to him also released their powers. The two similarly displayed the aura of third-grade Martial Artists.
The three of them joined forces and attacked Gong Xingqiu, the first-grade Martial Artist.
However, all three were mere third-grade masters. Still, the resources they had obtained for their cultivation were far more than many people, so their manifested powers were incredibly formidable as well.
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
A grey-haired old man who had arrived before the carriage with Gong Xingqiu had initially only shown the strength of a third-grade master.
However, the instant he crossed hands with Qingyang Zi, he suddenly unleashed the strength of a
first-grade Martial Artist.
Faced with such a sudden change, Qingyang Zi was taken by surprise by his attack, and he was seriously injured.
“Du Chongyun, it’s you!” Qingyang Zi’s face changed dramatically as he recognized the identity of the elderly man.
The white-haired old man was called Du Chongyun, a high elder of the Mire Sect, and a formidable first- grade Martial Artist.
If it weren’t for remembering the hints his elder martial brother had given him, Qingyang Zi would have almost forgotten about this man’s existence.
He was startled to see that the Mire Sect had come with two first-grade Martial Artists, attesting to its extensive foundation and reach.
“Hehe, I hadn’t expected that, despite being away from the martial world for so many years, people would still remember me, ” Du Chongyun chuckled.
He glanced at the severely injured Qingyang Zi but did not continue his attack, instead turning his attention to the royal carriage.
His mission was to assassinate the Emperor, and a mere Qingyang Zi was not worth wasting his time —Illuminating the ultimate mission was his main priority.
Seeing that Du Chongyun was not attacking him but heading straight for the carriage, Qingyang Zi struggled to get up and wanted to intervene but held off upon remembering the figure inside the carriage.
As Du Chongyun’s full body aura exploded, his Blood Qi filled the air.
With a clang, a long saber was unsheathed, radiating a piercing cold light. A slash extended outward.
The saber’s intent stirred up an endless strong wind.
Clang!
The expected scene of the carriage being cleaved by a single saber strike did not happen. Instead, the clear sound of a clash between weapons echoed out.
An Old Eunuch, his brows and hair all white, held a Light Thin Soft Sword, wearing ordinary eunuch attire, stood in front of the carriage.
Who would’ve thought it was him!
Pei Xuanjing knew this Old Eunuch, who had always been attending to the Emperor. He looked insignificant and didn’t show anything special, but surprisingly, he turned out to be that first-grade martial artist.
Seeing the Old Eunuch who had blocked the attack, Du Chongyun’s eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension, and harsh words spilled out from his mouth.
Apparently, he was quite familiar with this Old Eunuch.
The Old Eunuch had a soft voice, “Who would’ve thought that this old fellow is still alive? If I knew it would come to this day, I should’ve killed you when I had the chance.” Clearly, these two not only knew each other, but they also had a deep grudge.
“Kill me? Today, you and the dog emperor will die together!” Du Chongyun roared.
His long blade spun in his hand before suddenly swinging out again.
Facing Du Chongyun’s immense killing intent, the Old Eunuch will die, not me!” the Old Eunuch Chuckled.
The two were evenly matched for a while, and neither of them could take down the other. The situation seemed to have fallen into a stalemate.
This stalemate was not favorable for the people of the Mire Sect. Over time, this would attract the attention of their opponents. Not only would they fail to assassinate the Emperor, but they may also be trapped.
“I’ve had enough of you!” Gong Xingqiu roared, and his aura flared up even more, breaking the joint attack by Jiang Bin and his allies.
In the original plan, Gong Xingqiu was supposed to draw the crowd’s attention. The task of assassinating the Emperor was assigned to Du Chongyun, the high elder.
However, they did not expect Gong Xingqiu to be so very tenacious, which delayed him for quite a
while.
Seeing that Du Chongyun’s operation had been obstructed and was now in a stalemate, Gong Xingqiu could not hide any longer. His internal True Qi rotated, his Blood Qi exploded, and he repelled the three with his formidable power.
Without giving the three a chance to join hands again, Gong Xingqiu struck thrice in a row, driving them back. Instead of pursuing them further, he switched direction and attempted to bypass the Old Eunuch to rush straight to the carriage.
Everyone present was furious to see their first-grade expert being entangled by Du Chongyun, the high elder of the Mire Sect while another first-grade Martial Artist was rushing towards the Emperor.
“Protect His Majesty!”
The faces of Jiang Bin and his companions changed horribly, but they were always a step too late.
“Hehe!”
Laughing scornfully, Gong Xingqiu didn’t even glance at the few people behind him. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the carriage and was about to make his move.
“What!”
A young man suddenly blocked him.
Even when faced with Gong Xingqiu, whose killing intent filled the sky, the young man’s face was calm, showing no signs of tension..
