Ch 400: Battling Yuan Wuji Again
In Yunshui City.
After rescuing Pang Wang, the two of them immediately headed towards the Dragon Court.
“Great Priest, are we just leaving like this?”
Chu Xinghe looked at the Great Priest beside him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Our purpose here isn’t to follow the Northern Qi army into the Dragon Court, but to rescue the remaining members of our clan from the dungeon.”
The Great Priest replied, his pace unwavering.
After finding Chu Xinghe in Western Ting, he brought Chu Xinghe back to Yunhuang. Originally, they had given up hope of rescuing the remaining clan members imprisoned in the Dragon Court dungeon.
But unexpectedly, King Xiao Tiansheng of Northern Qi suddenly rebelled, and after the rebellion, spread news of the Fake Emperor.
When he heard this rumor, he was greatly shocked, but soon he thought that he might be able to use this opportunity to rescue the remaining clan members, so he took Chu Xinghe and left Yunhuang again, arriving at the Divine Palace.
They followed the Northern Qi army’s advance and successfully arrived here.
However, upon seeing Pang Wang ambushed, the Great Priest, after some thought, decided to intervene.
The reason for doing so was simply to take advantage of the situation and allow the Northern Qi army to quickly attack the Dragon Court.
“I understand.”
Chu Xinghe nodded without speaking.
The Great Priest glanced at Chu Xinghe, a hint of relief in his eyes.
This child, after going through a series of events, has matured considerably.
Originally, he had planned to come alone, but Chu Xinghe insisted on coming along. It wasn’t out of stubbornness, but because he wanted to atone for his past mistakes.
It was truly commendable, so he brought Chu Xinghe with him.
“After rescuing Chu Jiao and the others, let’s live a good life in Yunhuang.”
The Great Priest sighed.
He now had no desire for the restoration of the nation. After experiencing so much, he had become enlightened; no matter how powerful a country is, it will eventually be annihilated.
Just like the current Divine Palace.
In that case, it’s better to let go of such hopes and live one’s own life.
Chu Xinghe, upon hearing this, his eyes flickered, but he said nothing.
The two of them continued forward, finally reaching the Dragon Court.
With the fall of Yunshui City…
…the other cities were also crushed relentlessly under the torrent of the army, and the final line of defense completely collapsed.
The three forces led by Xiao Tiansheng, Duan Wulou, and Li Hanzhou finally converged.
They led countless troops and stepped onto the land of the Dragon Court.
Upon witnessing this scene, the commoners of the Dragon Court finally breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed them along the road.
The civil and military officials of the Imperial Court also emerged from their respective mansions, cheering enthusiastically.
At first glance, it looked like a prosperous celebration.
But Xiao Tiansheng and the others knew that only by completely eliminating the Fake Emperor within the Imperial Palace could they truly achieve universal joy.
Therefore, without hesitation, he dispersed a group of soldiers to occupy all areas except the Imperial Palace.
As for himself, Duan Wulou, Li Hanzhou, Ninth Prince Yu Qingyang, and Lu Cangshan, along with a number of Jianghu persons, continued to advance towards the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was deathly silent at this moment, with countless Black Armored Imperial Guards guarding it.
Standing before the Black Armored Imperial Guards was an eunuch in a dragon robe.
“Yuan Wuji!”
Upon seeing the eunuch, Duan Wulou quickly recognized him.
“To pass here, you must step over this one’s corpse.”
Yuan Wuji’s expression was solemn. After speaking, he waved his hand.
The Black Armored Imperial Guards, no longer silent, drew their sharp weapons and charged towards them.
Yuan Wuji was the first to act, his figure flashing as he appeared before a Northern Qi soldier.
With a flash of saber light, a head fell to the ground.
“You are truly loyal!”
Xiao Tiansheng chuckled lightly, drawing the Cold Sparrow from his waist to block Yuan Wuji, who was about to strike.
The Northern Qi soldiers he brought also reacted and clashed with the Black Armored Imperial Guards who had rushed forward.
Outside the Imperial Palace, it instantly became chaotic.
At this moment, Duan Wulou, Lu Cangshan, and the other Jianghu persons no longer held back and joined the battle.
The clashing of weapons sounded like thunder, causing the entire Imperial City to tremble unceasingly.
The Tang Sect Disciples’ hidden weapons were erratic and unpredictable, their figures like ghosts, shuttling between the Black Armored Imperial Guards. Each strike accurately took a life. The Divine Peak Mountain disciples’ sword techniques were unsurpassed, their long swords wielding a natural sword momentum…
The disciples of various sects and the Northern Qi army were fighting together with the Black Armored Imperial Guards.
Duan Wulou, Xiao Tiansheng, and the other Sect Masters jointly attacked Yuan Wuji.
Duan Wulou was the main attacker in this battle, with others launching sneak attacks from the side.
The long spear danced powerfully in Duan Wulou’s hands. Each time the spear shadow passed Yuan Wuji, it carried an unstoppable might.
In a short time, numerous wounds appeared on Yuan Wuji’s body.
Yuan Wuji was not to be outdone.
Facing the attacks of everyone, he still skillfully wielded his long saber, with saber light constantly appearing, slashing at everyone.
That saber light seemed to cut through anything, its power terrifying, forcing Xiao Tiansheng and others to retreat repeatedly.
Yuan Wuji himself, as if consuming a trace of True Qi, remained unfazed and continued to attack Xiao Tiansheng and the others with killing intent.
Among those present, apart from Duan Wulou and Li Hanzhou, the rest were insignificant.
Furthermore, Yuan Wuji understood that this battle might be his last, so he attacked without reservation, completely disregarding the intense consumption of his True Qi. As long as he could kill one person present, it would be a great gain.
Seeing this, Duan Wulou immediately understood that Yuan Wuji was going all out.
Therefore, he gripped his long spear with both hands, took a deep breath, and his True Qi surged. A terrifying aura brewed on the spear, and finally, a faint purple glow emanated from the entire spear.
At this moment, it seemed as if Heaven and Earth were about to change color.
Then, Duan Wulou thrust out his spear. The purple glow adhering to the spear instantly transformed into a dragon coiled around the spear shaft, with a faintly soul-stirring roar!
Yuan Wuji was about to deal a fatal blow to Xiao Tiansheng when he saw this spear.
He didn’t hesitate, using both hands to wield his long saber to meet the oncoming spear.
A white saber Qi suddenly erupted from the blade.
Bang!
The ground trembled incessantly, and the hard bluestone bricks flew up and shattered.
Duan Wulou took a few steps back, breathing deeply to adjust his state.
Yuan Wuji, however, didn’t have such leisure. The moment he delivered his strike, Xiao Tiansheng and others immediately swarmed forward, giving him no chance to breathe.
Li Hanzhou watched the battle from the sidelines.
He stood beside Ninth Prince Yu Qingyang, guarding against any sneak attacks.
The people outside the Imperial Palace had already moved far away from the center of the battle to avoid being affected.
