C174 (1/2)
Imperial Concubine Yu looked at Jin Yu Lie, slightly astonished. She knew that Jin Yu Lie had a high cultivation level, but she didn't expect him to be this strong. But today, no one could make it out alive! The nine gates were completely sealed from the inside!
She had originally only targeted Jin Yu Lie, but Chunyu Hong's attitude made her despair!
Now, she didn't hold back at all!
Until now, no one dared to shoot an arrow at Chunyu Hong. Even if there were a few arrows aimed at him, the hidden guards behind him had appeared in time.
This scene was like catching a turtle in a jar!
All of these people had become targets of those archers. As long as they were moving around, they would be annihilated!
Everyone was running around crazily.
In the palace, other than the palace ministers, there were also their families. These weak and weak women had no strength to even resist, they had already become ghosts under the arrow.
Confronted with Imperial Concubine Yu's advance, the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards panicked as they saw the people who were continuously falling.
The empress tripped over the person behind her!
Chunyu Hong's hidden guards would only protect him.
As for the Queen, she could only pray for herself.
She was run into by the flustered crowd, and how could those people, facing life and death, be able to estimate her status? Someone hastily ran in front of her without even looking at her, and then stepped on her hand in the chaos. Immediately, her palm was red and swollen.
At some point, Chunyu Feng had pulled out a soft sword from his waist, waving it to chop down the rain of arrows. When he saw his mother fall to the ground, he hurried over to her.
With one hand, he chopped off the arrows that were shooting at him, while with the other, he helped the empress up from the ground.
”Muhou, are you alright?”
The empress shook her head. ”I'm fine, Feng'er. Your skills aren't weak, so you should be able to get out. You go first!”
Chunyu Feng glanced at Chunyu Hong, who was not far away. Amongst the flustered crowd, he was the only one who looked calm and composed. There were dozens of secret guards protecting him, and behind them were also many ministers hiding. These lords' faces were ashen, they relied on hiding behind Chunyu Hong to protect their own lives.
Even though the ten or so guards were only protecting Chunyu Hong, if he hid by their side, his safety rate would greatly increase.
So, Chunyu Feng's first plan was to bring his mother to a safe place.
Imperial Concubine Yu's guards also seemed to have found a way to stop Mu Wenyun. They lined up in three rows, taking turns to shoot their arrows. The power was astonishing.
Chunyu Feng didn't have Jin Yu Lie's cultivation, so he couldn't avoid getting injured by arrows. It would be even more difficult to protect an unarmed mother.
Chunyu Feng dragged his mother towards Chunyu Hong.
”Father!” Chunyu Feng tried very hard, but an arrow hit his wrist and his hand stopped. The empress fell to the ground. He watched as a rain of arrows pierced the empress's shoulder.
Although this arrow wasn't fatal, it instantly caused blood to spurt out. The color faded from the empress's face.
Chunyu Feng tried to think of a way to save him, but he was also injured, so he forced himself to open his mouth to bite the arrow that had pierced his wrist, and pulled it out.
The arrow was thrown onto the ground, along with Chunyu Feng's flesh and blood. He called out to his father, unconsciously hoping that he would be able to give him a helping hand.
But he was still disappointed.
This was because from beginning to end, Chunyu Hong did not even glance in his direction.
At that moment, there were countless sounds of arrows piercing through the air. That was the descent of the rain of arrows. His last hope was that royal father would be able to give some help to Imperial Mother, even if it was just a look.
At that moment, Chunyu Feng seemed to forget the fact that the empress had contributed a lot to Imperial Concubine Yu's plan to succeed today.
And all of this, Chunyu Hong naturally knew as well.
The smell of blood instantly emanated out.
However, these arrows were not aimed at the Queen. The person Imperial Concubine Yu wanted to kill the most was also Jin Yu Lie. Therefore, when she discovered that Jin Yu Lie had such a powerful cultivation level, all the archers were aiming at him.
Right now, Imperial Concubine Yu had been brought to a safe place by her men and protected by several imperial guards. She stood atop the floating treasured sword, her gaze sinister and malicious as she gazed downwards.
”F * ck!” Zuo Chenfeng's arm started to ache. The power of these arrows was surging. He waved the great sword in his hand so hard that not even a drop of water could seep out. However, this sword was given to him by Jin Yu Lie.
Amongst everyone present, he was the only one who could wear a treasured sword when entering and exiting the palace.
However, his sword was more than twice as heavy as an ordinary sword, so when Zuo Chenfeng started to dance, his arms became numb and didn't seem to belong to him anymore.
He didn't have Jin Yu Lie's outstanding cultivation.
”Ah Lie!”
However, Jin Yu Lie didn't move for a long time, which made Zuo Chenfeng a little anxious.
A rain of arrows arrived in an instant. Zuo Chenfeng had used up all his energy, but before he could use his new strength, the arrow had already passed by his arm, leaving behind a trail of blood.
Jin Yu Lie said in a low voice: ”Hold on.”
”Don't worry!” Seeing that he was finally going to take action, Zuo Chenfeng immediately felt relieved. Being suppressed like this was too frustrating and he could finally retaliate.
As soon as Jin Yu Lie finished speaking, all the arrows shooting at him stopped instantly. All the arrows flying over were suspended in the air, and at the same time, the arrows on the ground also slowly floated up, slowly changing direction and aiming their arrows at the others.
He was actually able to use his own cultivation to control external power. If he didn't have a powerful and frightening cultivation, he would absolutely not have been able to do that.
