51: Chapter 51 Phoenix Descends Upon the Grand Elder, Eunuch Wei on the Verge of Death

After Xia Jin finished dealing with those five thousand Red-Clad Iron Cavalry, he headed straight for the capital of the Fenglin Kingdom.

At this moment, in a room on the second floor of an inconspicuous inn in the capital of the Fenglin Kingdom.

Eunuch Wei sat by the window, his face full of worry.

According to the original plan, Su Xuanji was to instigate Dayuan's fifty thousand border troops to launch a massive attack on the Fenglin Kingdom border, forcing the Fenglin Kingdom imperial court to withdraw troops from all over the country to meet the enemy.

At that time, the capital of the Fenglin Kingdom would be empty of troops and the people would be in a panic. During this period, the people he had planted inside the Fenglin Imperial Palace would be able to coordinate from within and without to force a coup and control the Emperor of the Fenglin Kingdom.

By then, the Great Xia army would press down on the border, and this piece of fat meat, the Fenglin Kingdom, would securely fall into the mouth of Great Xia.

But despite all his calculations, he never expected the Yuehua Dynasty to suddenly intervene!

Even more unexpectedly, the Yuehua Dynasty's trump card, the five thousand Red-Clad Iron Cavalry, was so fierce that they easily crushed the fifty thousand border troops of Dayuan. As a result, his plan had to be temporarily shelved.

"Dammit! Those bastards from the Yuehua Dynasty!!" Eunuch Wei grew angrier the more he thought about it. With a 'snap', the teacup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and his face became even more gloomy.

"With the Yuehua Dynasty making a move, security in the Fenglin Imperial Palace must be doubled now... It seems I can only wait for news from the Prince and look for another opportunity."

After taking a few deep breaths, he regained his composure.

Just then, Eunuch Wei's heart jumped violently for no reason, and a strong sense of unease suddenly rose up.

The intuition cultivated from years of walking on the edge of life and death allowed him to react without the slightest hesitation; his figure retreated rapidly!

"Whoosh—!"

A sharp, peerless Sword Intent suddenly appeared, breaking through the window of his room and slashing at the position where he had just been sitting!

"Boom!"

The entire wall, along with the table next to it, collapsed with a bang under this sword strike!

Eunuch Wei, however, had already burst out through the window amidst the smoke and dust, landing on the street behind the inn.

"My location, it was exposed!" His heart was filled with horror, and he scanned his surroundings with extreme vigilance.

Under the moonlight, at the end of the street, an old man in grey robes was walking slowly, carrying a long sword. His pace seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, he had closed the distance of several dozen yards and stopped three yards in front of Eunuch Wei.

The old man had white hair and a youthful face, his complexion ruddy. He was looking at Eunuch Wei with a smile, "It seems you are the source of the recent unrest in the Imperial Palace."

Under the moonlight, Eunuch Wei clearly saw the face of the person who had arrived. His heart instantly sank to the bottom, and his expression became even gloomier and uglier than before.

The Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief!

An existence at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm!

Although he had his Meridians reshaped by Xia Jin using the Nine Turns Creation Sutra, and his cultivation speed had improved by leaps and bounds, now reaching the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm, he had absolutely no chance of winning against an opponent two levels higher!

Escape! He must escape immediately!

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Eunuch Wei saw the other person's face, his figure turned abruptly like an arrow leaving the bow, and he sped away towards the outskirts of the city!

"Leaving?" A mocking arc appeared at the corner of the Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief's mouth, "Can you get away? If I let you escape from my hands, I will give up my position as Grand Chief to you!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body turned into a white shadow, chasing after Eunuch Wei at a speed far greater than his.

The time that followed became a true game of cat and mouse.

The Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief was not in a hurry to kill Eunuch Wei immediately, but followed unhurriedly, occasionally waving a Sword Qi casually.

That Sword Qi forced Eunuch Wei to use all his strength to dodge and maneuver in a sorry state.

"Bastard, it seems I can only pin my hopes on that dense forest!!" Eunuch Wei had already rushed out of the city wall, glanced at the dense forest to his front left, and immediately ran wildly in that direction.

But unfortunately, the other party's Aura had long since locked onto him, and no matter how he changed direction, it was of no avail.

About half an hour later.

Eunuch Wei felt his legs becoming slightly weak.

There were deep and shallow sword wounds all over his body, and his speed had obviously slowed down.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to play with you anymore." The voice of the Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief floated over again.

The reason he had been chasing for so long was to see if Eunuch Wei had any accomplices nearby who could be drawn out to catch a bigger fish. But the result disappointed him; the other party had always been alone.

In that case, there was no need to keep him alive.

The Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief stopped, slowly raising the long sword in his hand. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he locked onto Eunuch Wei's back.

"Am I going to die?"

Eunuch Wei felt the Sword Intent behind him, and his heart turned cold. In his despair, a fierce, ruthless Aura suddenly rose up.

He stopped abruptly and turned around!

Rather than being killed in a cowardly way, it was better to fight to the death!

His palms instantly turned grey-white, and bone-chilling palm strength condensed crazily; the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop by several degrees.

"Old man! If you want my life, you'll have to lose a few teeth! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Eunuch Wei had a ferocious expression, advancing instead of retreating, and with the momentum of mutual destruction, he pounced towards the Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" The Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief sneered.

He flicked his wrist, and the long sword was about to swing out!

However, in the next second, the sneer on his face froze completely!

Because he found that he couldn't swing his sword!

It wasn't that his Internal Energy was insufficient, but that the sword seemed to be fixed in place. No matter how he urged his True Qi, the tip of the sword didn't move at all!

"Old man, haven't you eaten? Why can't you even swing your sword?" A voice came from behind him.

The Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Who is it? How could they appear behind me without my knowledge?"

He gritted his teeth and slowly turned his head.

He saw a tall figure standing beside and behind him, he didn't know when.

That person had only extended two fingers and was casually clamping the tip of his long sword.

Eunuch Wei's pouncing figure also stopped abruptly at the same time the figure appeared.

He looked at the familiar figure, first widening his eyes in disbelief, and then his body began to tremble violently, unable to control it. That was not fear, but excitement and ecstasy!

Eunuch Wei's throat rolled, and he used all his strength to shout: "Master!! You're here!!"

When the Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief heard Eunuch Wei's shout of "Master", his whole body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

This guy actually had backup! And... it was such a figure!

In a flash of lightning, the instinct of years of life-and-death fighting overcame his shock.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He released his grip on the sword, turned, and slapped his palm towards Xia Jin's chest!

This change of moves was extremely abrupt. In his opinion, even if the opponent had heaven-defying abilities, facing this blow, he would certainly be unable to dodge in time!

"Master! Be careful!!!" At the same time the Fenglin Imperial Palace Grand Chief attacked, Eunuch Wei, not far away, also shouted a warning.
