Chapter 127 - Merciless Emperor (1/2)

“Werewolf? Impossible. He is of pure human bloodline! Or else how could he become the First Rank State General?”

Han Shenbo shook his head and said. At the same time, he could see the problem as well.

Xitan Changshi’s attitude was the problem!

Jiang Xue shook her head with a smile and did not explain further.

She did not mean werewolf as in a demon. It was a term Zhou Xuanji always used to make fun of her.

The others had no idea, so she couldn’t be bothered explaining it. She took it as a secret sign between Zhou Xuanji and herself.

Zhou Xuanji swooped down on the Empress with the God-Emperor Sword in hand. In his eyes, the Empress was no longer that powerful.

She could be considered very weak.

“What do you have to say before you die?”

Zhou Xuanji said expressionlessly. He could see what was happening.

Xitan Changshi was waiting for him to kill the Empress!

Could he be working for some prince or concubine?

The Empress steadied her body. Cold-faced, she looked at Xitan Changshi and asked, “General, what are you doing?”

Xitan Changshi, who was engaged in intensive combat with Huang Ming, gritted his teeth and said, “I will do my best to not disappoint the Emperor. I swear I will protect the Empress!”

Having heard that, the Empress’ pupils dilated helplessly.

She immediately understood what the general meant.

She smiled pitifully.

So, that’s why.

She mumbled to herself, “Zisu, I’ve changed. And so have you.”

Zhou Xuanji came to her face with the God-Emperor Sword raised.

Facing the God-Emperor Sword, she had no hope of escaping.

With this slash, the Empress would surely be dead.

She looked up and Zhou Xuanji with a sinister expression, “Brat, you are lucky that I’m going to die today. But I have to warn you. Be careful of your so-called dad!”

Zhou Xuanji squinted. Could it be that the Emperor Yan of Zhou was behind this?

At this moment, the Empress sat down suddenly, as though she was no longer resisting.

“Actually, I’m in the same predicament as your mother,” she said with a pitiful smile.

“Back then, when he took the throne, I was pregnant with the first prince, which should be the crown prince, but was poisoned by a b*tch who killed the unborn baby.”

“He lied to me. He said that after he took the throne, he would only love me.”

“With my first son dead, no matter how talented my second son was, he could not be the crown prince.”

“Why can’t he?”

“When I saw that he was mesmerized by Zhao Xuan, I remembered that b*tch who poisoned me. I will make you and Zhao Xuan feel the same pain of being torn apart by death!”

At this point, she was gnashing her teeth. Her laughter became more miserable.

Looking back at the first half of their lives, Emperor Yan of Zhou was only a young man back then and was not favored by the previous emperor.

She was an elite disciple of the Sacred Grounds. There was a vast gap between their identities and positions.

Eventually, she still descended the mountain along with him to travel across the world and experienced all kinds of challenges. She gave her all to help him become the Emperor.

But of all the promises he gave her, only a few were fulfilled.

Zhou Xuanji looked at the Empress expressionlessly. Even though the Empress appeared to be exceedingly miserable and pitiful, he was unmoved.

It is only proper to pay for her sins.

She lived a bitter life, and so did Lady Zhao Xuan.

Zhou Xuanji’s God-Emperor Sword descended slowly.

Faraway, Xinhao Sect, and the royal guards were still battling fiercely.

Xitan Changshi fought Huang Ming with a sinister expression. He roared occasionally and sounded as though he struggled with his all and was extremely angry.

The Empress flipped her right hand, and a piece of paper appeared. There were badly written words on it.

Mother.

“Long-er, you can only rely on yourself from today onwards. I will pray for you from below.”

The Empress lowered her and said to herself.

The sword flashed!
