Chapter 419 - That rotten Zhangjun Prince (2)

Slightly stunned by Ning Yuxuan's words, Ji Man lowered her eyes.

The sound of Zhao Li's howling could be heard throughout w.a.n.gyue Building's surrounding area. By the time a group of soldiers had rushed over and surrounded the building, Ji Man had already taken out a dagger.

Nie Qingyun had entered the palace at top speed. His armor was still stained with blood. After reaching the third floor of w.a.n.gyue Building and seeing the emperor that was numbly hugging Pengyue on the bed, he slightly paused for a moment before taking out his saber.

“Qingyun.” Ning Yuxuan furrowed his brow and asked, ”Will you and Sangyu listen to my advice?”

Nie Qingyun glanced at him in surprise, but he still had a solemn expression as he pursed his lips and answered, ”The two of us have been living in degradation for such a long time for the sole purpose of claiming this scoundrel's life. If you want to plead on his behalf, you might as well not say anything.”

Ning Yuxuan shook his head. ”I'm not asking you to show mercy for his benefit. I'm saying this for you and your sister's benefit. No matter what, Zhao Li is Zhangjun Prince's biological brother. It shouldn't be the two of you that kill him.”

The chance to collect their blood debt was right in front of them. Who would be willing to listen to his words at this time?

Ji Man chuckled. ”I don't care about anything else. I want to be the one that kills him.”

Marquis Moyu's expression stiffened. In the end, he sighed and moved aside.

Alarmed, Kangyuan rushed over to protectively stand before Zhao Li. ”What are you going to do? How can you possibly be thinking of killing the emperor?”

”The new emperor has probably already sat down on the throne.” Ji Man slightly smiled and said, ”The person in front of us is merely our mortal enemy.”

”No!” Kangyuan shook her head. She pleadingly looked at them as she said, ”Don't hurt the emperor. If... if you want to kill someone, kill me instead.”

”Take her away, far away from w.a.n.gyue Building. This emperor's life, you can take it if you want.” Zhao Li slowly put Pengyue down and turned his head. His reddened eyes actually showed relief. ”This emperor wants to die here. This place is better than other places, but this woman...”

He pointed at Kangyuan and continued, ”Take her far away. Even in death, this emperor doesn't want to see her again.”

Kangyuan was shocked. She blankly turned her head to look at him. ”Your Majesty?”

”Okay.” Ji Man agreed, went outside to issue the order, and someone came back inside with her and started dragging Kangyuan away.

Kangyuan widened her eyes. In a heart-broken voice, she shouted, ”Your Majesty, why are you treating me like this? Why? Yu-er just wants to be with you!”

Although her voice gradually came from further away, it sounded increasingly mournful. The doors to w.a.n.gyue Building were closed. Ji Man and Nie Qingyun stood in front of Zhao Li and looked at him while holding sharp blades.

Zhao Li chuckled as he asked, ”Are you going to kill this emperor with a thousand slow cuts, or give me a quick death?”

Nie Qingyun's eyes reddened. His blade went towards Zhao Li's abdomen. He wanted to slice him in half at the waist.

”Don't,” Zhao Li lowly said, ”If I don't have my legs on the path to underworld, this emperor might not be able to catch up to her.”
