Chapter 252 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 26
At the same time, his aura surged quietly, like an undercurrent in the deep sea, unpredictable and ever-changing. His long robe sleeves moved without wind, as if drawn by some mysterious force.
Upon seeing this scene, a spark of hope suddenly ignited in Zhuoqing's heart.
He quickly exchanged a glance with Zhuosen and the others, then focused his voice and whispered into their ears: "Right now, King Jingyu has just entered the Divine Travel Realm, and his foundation is not yet stable. This is a critical moment. We must seize this opportunity to eliminate him, otherwise, once his realm is consolidated, we will have no way to survive."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Sen and the others were all shocked.
We need to get rid of King Jingyu?
Regardless of whether they could defeat him, their previous attacks on the Prince of Langya could be justified by the excuse that the Prince of Langya had disobeyed the imperial decree.
But now, King Jingyu is not the same as before. If they really take action, they will definitely not escape Emperor Tai'an's severe punishment afterwards.
However, if they do not take action now, they will also face certain death once Jingyu King's cultivation is stable.
This is truly a dilemma!
After a moment's hesitation, with countless thoughts swirling in their minds, they finally gritted their teeth and made their decision.
At this moment, apart from Jingyu Wang, there might still be a glimmer of hope; if we miss this opportunity, there may truly be no way to survive.
"We only have one chance, so let's each prepare to unleash our strongest attack," Zhuo Qing said with a ferocious expression.
The four of them nodded in unison.
Zhuo Qing took the first step, his eyes flashing with determination. With a swift movement, a sharp internal force shot straight towards Xiao Ruojin's chest.
At the same time, Zhuo Sen, Zhuo Xin, Zhuo Xian, and Zhuo Luo surrounded them from four directions, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
Zhuo Sen's longsword gleamed coldly, its tip aimed directly at Xiao Ruojin's throat. Zhuo Xin unleashed both palms simultaneously, condensing his inner force into two sharp blades of energy, aiming straight for Xiao Ruojin's ribs. Zhuo Xian's figure blurred, transforming into a black shadow, attacking Xiao Ruojin's calves from below. Zhuo Luo, meanwhile, somersaulted in the air, delivering a flying kick that whistled through the air, aimed directly at the back of Xiao Ruojin's head.
The five guards launched their attacks almost simultaneously, each one swift and fierce, clearly aiming to end the battle in the shortest possible time.
"Brother, be careful!"
Xiao Ruofeng's eyes widened in fury. He never expected that even after things had come to this, the Five Great Supervisors would still dare to lay a hand on Xiao Ruojin.
However, just as the Five Great Eunuchs' attack was about to land on Xiao Ruojin, Xiao Ruojin suddenly opened her eyes, a smile quickly flashing across her bright eyes.
Zhuo Qing, who had already rushed close, saw the smile in Xiao Ruojin's eyes and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
Why is King Jingyu laughing? And what is he laughing at?
Zhuo Qing stared wide-eyed, trying to find the answer in Xiao Ruojin's expression. But suddenly, the entire night became as bright as day, like the rising sun, the dazzling light making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
When he regained his sight, the scenery had completely changed. The surrounding buildings seemed to have sprung up in an instant, becoming exceptionally tall, while his line of sight seemed to have become extremely low.
Huh?
Where is King Jingyu?
Why did they suddenly disappear?
Zhuo Qing was filled with doubt and tried to see his surroundings clearly, but he found that it was as if a red veil was covering his eyes, and the whole world gradually turned blood red.
Why is there a headless body standing in front of me?
Whose body is this?
Oh!
So... it was his!
Zhuoqing's head rolled to the ground, mingling with the heads of the other four prisons. The five headless corpses slowly fell, their blood staining the earth red.
quiet--
Everyone present stared in shock at the scene, as if time had frozen, their minds replaying the astonishing sword strike Xiao Ruojin had unleashed.
At that moment, it seemed as if only that dazzling sword light and the boundless awe it brought remained in the world.
With just one sword strike, he had taken the lives of a half-step Divine Traveler and four Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm experts.
Such extraordinary power is simply unbelievable and inspires awe.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder if they themselves would have been lucky enough to escape from Xiao Ruojin's sword.
The answer is self-evident: no one could survive that sword strike.
At least they can't.
The power of the divine journey to the mystical realm is truly terrifying!
After an unknown amount of time, someone stared blankly at the person next to them and murmured, "Did you see that? That sword that was powerful enough to cleave the sky."
"The Heaven-Slaying Sword truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the Ten Famous Swords." Another person said in a trembling voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Having seen it today, it certainly lives up to its name of 'Heaven-Slaying'."
"Yes! If it weren't for the Heaven-Slaying Sword, any other sword would absolutely not have been able to withstand the immense power of the Divine Ascension Realm."
"To witness this sword today, I can die without regrets!"
Everyone was still reeling from the shock of that sword strike, and no one paid any attention to the five corpses lying on the ground.
Xiao Ruojin slowly sheathed the Heaven-Slaying Sword, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
His claim that his cultivation level was unstable just now was obviously fake!
Whatever you do, you must have a just cause to silence public opinion.
Just like when Zhuo Qing and the others wanted to kill Xiao Ruofeng, they were using Xiao Ruofeng's disobedience to the imperial decree as a pretext.
Now that he wants to kill someone, he also needs to find an excuse.
So he first pretended to kill someone, and then deliberately acted as if his cultivation was unstable, with the aim of luring the Five Supervisors to take action so that he could eliminate them in a logical way.
To attack a prince of the current dynasty in the street without provocation is an act of insubordination, a crime akin to treason. This charge is sufficient.
At least... that's enough to give Emperor Tai'an a way out.
Xiao Ruojin slowly sheathed the Heaven-Slaying Sword. The sword reflected the surrounding light and shadow, like a clear mirror, untouched by any worldly dust.
Then he slightly raised his head and looked at the martial arts practitioners who were watching the spectacle with a smile in his eyes.
Those martial arts practitioners felt a chill run down their spines when they saw that look.
You should know that Xiao Ruojin was laughing like this when she killed the five chief eunuchs.
No one dared to linger there. After bowing respectfully with clasped hands, they hurriedly left. Even Ji Ruofeng put away his paper and pen and left silently.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling street became empty, leaving only Xiao Ruojin, Xiao Ruofeng, Lei Mengsha, Qi Tianchen, and the servants brought by the five eunuchs.
Xiao Ruojin turned his head to look at the trembling servants, and suddenly chuckled. He asked in a calm tone, "How did the Five Eunuchs die?"
The servants exchanged bewildered glances, fear freezing in their throats like ice, barely managing to squeeze out broken words: "He...they...are..." The arrogance they once displayed when following the Five Eunuchs had vanished, replaced by endless panic and helplessness.
