139: Palace War

Broken Sword represents the pinnacle of individual combat power in this World.

With Grade A twenty strength, coupled with his unique «Broken Sword Thirteen Techniques», he once fought three old Grandmasters of the same Realm!

The two key chess pieces Third Prince Sheng Tianlong saw on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard were one civil and one military.

The civil one referred to Prime Minister Yu.

The military one referred to Broken Sword.

Facts proved that Broken Sword's strength was indeed formidable.

He could kill Eunuch Wei without making a sound, and he could even cause damage to the single unit Soldiers of the Black Shadow Legion.

But now...

Facing the Man Niu produced by Ye Tian.

Dealing with two of them required his full effort, let alone the twenty now!

"Boom!"

Man Niu No. 2, carrying a strong sense of oppression, compressed the air and instantly appeared in front of Broken Sword.

Battle was imminent!

However, this imminent battle was a one-sided massacre...

"Crack!" The sword in his hand blocked the double fists of a large guy in front of him.

But in the next moment.

Another large guy, carrying a fist strong enough to knock him down, struck his side waist!

Broken Sword could avoid the attack of that second guy.

But at the same moment.

The third, fourth, and fifth Man Niu had already sealed off his retreat route!

"Thump!"

A simple and unadorned punch, a solid hit on Broken Sword's back.

A visible wave of air spread out.

With just this punch.

A mouthful of fresh blood instantly coughed out, and Broken Sword was completely knocked to the ground like a toad!

Staring at these guys with wide eyes.

Broken Sword's proud strength could not be utilized in the slightest.

His heart was filled with only frustration: "You, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one! What kind of skill is ganging up?!"

After this sentence was spoken.

Responding to Broken Sword.

Was the attack of the other Man Niu, punch after punch, foot after foot.

Watching his strongest bodyguard meet such a tragic end with his own eyes.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's face finally turned completely pale.

The current ministers believe he is not of Royal Family blood, no longer support him, and the Sheng Changge behind him is like a towering mountain, suffocating him.

The Heaven and Earth trend that belonged to him had clearly collapsed!

"You've sat on the throne for a day, it's time for you to step down."

Sheng Changge took a deep breath and gestured to the Black Shadow Legion behind him.

Dense Black Shadow completely engulfed the light in the entire Hall.

And in this Darkness, figures of shadows stood up, surrounding Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.

"Stop!!"

Suddenly, from outside Yuanlong Hall, a furious roar filled with strong qi entered the Hall.

"Sheng Changge, if you dare touch Tianlong, tonight, even if you have immense power, you won't be able to leave this Imperial Palace!"

This deep voice, Sheng Changge might have found it unfamiliar after not attending court for several years.

But for the other ministers in the Hall.

They recognized who the voice outside the Hall belonged to after just one listen.

"Li Yuanyuan!"

"Why did he come to the Imperial Palace? Isn't he guarding the border?!"

"He wants to protect Third Prince Sheng Tianlong?"

The entire Hall plunged into chaos again.

Some ministers looked through the windows of Yuanlong Hall and were horrified to find that outside Yuanlong Hall, a large number of Imperial Guards, stretching as far as the eye could see, had appeared!

Outside the Hall.

On the empty stone ground.

At the front of the dense fifty thousand Imperial Guards, fierce light flickered in Li Yuanyuan's eyes.

More than half a day ago.

After hearing the rumors about the Capital, a sense of inexplicable unease had been growing in his heart.

It was precisely because of this indescribable emotion that he rode a fast horse and returned to the Imperial City alone.

When those officials were interrogating Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, he thought to himself that something had indeed happened, but at that time, he restrained himself.

Because Third Prince Sheng Tianlong held the authority.

But later.

Sheng Changge's appearance completely broke the situation!

It was precisely because of this that Li Yuanyuan, relying on the Army Command Token, summoned the few Imperial Guards leaders who were only loyal to him personally, and thus brought fifty thousand elite Imperial Guards!

This also gave him the confidence to say that Sheng Changge would not be able to leave the Imperial Palace.

"Li Yuanyuan?"

Looking at the situation outside, Sheng Changge turned to look at Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, who had originally thought he was going to die, saw the situation change drastically, and his pale face instantly recovered a lot.

With such a large army pressing down, even if Sheng Changge was reckless, he wouldn't dare touch him, right?

"Let me go, and I can tell General Li not to make things difficult for you."

Surrounded by a group of Black Shadow Soldiers, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong regained his King's demeanor.

"Oh? You think you can live?"

Sheng Changge smiled at Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.

This sentence made Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's mind go blank for a moment: "What do you want to do? You still want to kill me now? Do you know the consequences?!"

His gaze fell on Sheng Changge's face, which showed little change in expression, and fear rose in Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's heart.

Truly, the person in front of him really wanted to kill him! Even with fifty thousand Imperial Guards pressing down, it had no deterrent effect at all!

"Kill him."

The words fell without any hesitation.

A Black Shadow Soldier instantly drew the knife in his hand across Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's neck...

"Ho~"

Clutching his neck, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong widened his eyes, the unwillingness in his eyes reaching its peak!

In the end, as Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, dressed in a Dragon robe, fell to the ground.

Everyone around was trembling.

If Sheng Changge had killed Third Prince Sheng Tianlong a stick of incense ago, the ministers behind would have felt a sense of melancholy.

After all, they witnessed the end of a generation of Kings.

But now, with fifty thousand Imperial Guards pressing down, watching Third Prince Sheng Tianlong being killed with their own eyes!

This made everyone uneasy.

Indeed, in the very next moment.

Li Yuanyuan's voice, filled with extreme grief and anger, instantly entered Yuanlong Hall: "You actually dared to kill him, Sheng Changge, I want you dead!!"

As the first General of Sheng Country, even implicitly capable of standing alongside the Fake Late Emperor, Li Yuanyuan was never as simple as he appeared on the surface!

Being able to summon fifty thousand Imperial Guards in the Imperial Palace was the best proof.

"Kill! Whoever brings Sheng Changge's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

As a voice filled with monstrous rage fell, the Imperial Guards outside Yuanlong Hall surged towards Yuanlong Hall like a flood!

"It's over, it's over!"

"Li Yuanyuan is crazy!"

The people in Yuanlong Hall were completely engulfed in fear.

Several old ministers quickly came to Sheng Changge: "Prince, you should leave quickly, you are of Royal Family blood, you cannot suffer any damage!"

"Yes, we old Gu of your subjects can still block a few Soldiers for the Prince!"

Words expressing their willingness to die, one after another, secretly moved Sheng Changge.

"We don't need to run." He shook his head slightly.

As early as before coming to the Imperial Palace, he had used the points from the System inquiry interface to anticipate various situations.

Li Yuanyuan's appearance was indeed one of those situations.

And the method to deal with it... didn't need to be difficult at all.

Just like now.

As the Imperial Guards in front of Yuanlong Hall charged, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the rear of Yuanlong Hall.

The unusual sound even temporarily drowned out the shouting Imperial Guards.

When people's gazes focused.

In an instant.

Everyone was shocked to see a team composed of white horses and white-robed Soldiers appearing from the rear of Yuanlong Hall!
