Chapter 42: Old Huang takes action, and lives are destroyed

Li Chengyun and Haitang Duoduo continued to fight, and as their fists and kicks flew, Li Chengyun actually gained the upper hand.

The onlookers, except those who didn't know Haitang Duoduo's strength, were all dumbfounded and exclaimed in amazement.

Li Chengqian thought he understood the mystery and thought to himself:
"Li Chengyun's strength this time is several steps ahead of his past. His rapid progress is truly shocking."

"Humph, I get it! He had been hiding his strength before, intending to plot secretly and put me in an unfair position!"

Li Chengqian was filled with resentment, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:

"Of course, Northern Qi's plan is no small matter. In addition to the Ninth Rank Saint Lady herself, there are also several Seventh and Eighth Rank masters lurking around. Even if you are a Grandmaster, you will not be able to escape the net!"

Li Chengze watched the battle and although he saw that Li Chengyun had the advantage temporarily, he was well aware that undercurrents were surging and dangers were lurking everywhere.

The Holy Lady of Northern Qi was seen fighting alone against the heroes, while the killers around her were ready to strike.

Once the flaw is found, Li Chengyun will be doomed.

He was well aware of the deep meaning of Li Chengyun's revelation of Haitang's identity, which was intended to prove that the prince was colluding with Northern Qi, so he decided to win by wisdom and not directly intervene in the war.

Then, Li Chengze directed his internal strength towards the city gate and shouted loudly:
"The deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been secretly communicating with the Northern Qi thieves, inviting them into the palace and approaching the imperial city with evil intentions. He even wants to harm this prince and my sixth brother! Quickly send a message to all directions, summon warriors, come to protect the emperor, and punish the traitors together!"

"Deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian has disobeyed the emperor's will and attempted to overthrow the world. This is an unforgivable crime and he should be severely punished according to the law of the country to serve as a warning to others!"

"Anyone who can capture this thief will have made a great contribution. This palace and my sixth brother will definitely reward him handsomely and bring him endless blessings in the future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they sounded so loud that they shook the area around the city gate.

It should be understood that this place is the territory of Qing State, and the people's will is all about the safety of Qing State, which cannot be shaken by Northern Qi.

Li Chengze is well aware of the advantages of location and people, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to build a network of supporters for himself and Li Chengyun.

However, Li Chengze also has selfish thoughts in his heart and is not completely selfless.

Just imagine, if Li Chengyun had unfortunately died, perhaps it would have been more beneficial to him.

But reason told him that at this moment the two of them were in a relationship of their own, and the collapse of either side would trigger a chain reaction and endanger themselves.

Therefore, he was extremely anxious and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

What is particularly crucial is that Li Chengyun has a grandmaster-level guard by his side, so there is still a glimmer of hope for his survival.

As for him, if Li Chengyun makes any mistake, he will become the target of public criticism and will be doomed.

Therefore, he had to rush and rescue.

At this time.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar, approaching like thunder.

The prince's party and the black-clad assassins of Northern Qi were trying to encircle Li Chengze and Li Chengyun's men.

At this critical moment, the eldest princess arrived.

Li Yunrui originally wanted to go to the danger alone, but considering the urgency of time, he finally decided to mobilize his elite troops and vowed to protect Li Chengyun.

After all, in this precarious time, only Li Chengyun can help her consolidate her power in the inner treasury.

The two have the same goal and are natural allies.

Even though the journey was fraught with danger, she was determined to come with all her strength, vowing to overcome the difficulties together.

Looking at the dense circle of black-clad men surrounding her, the eldest princess became more and more anxious, with an inextricable worry condensed between her brows.

Her eyes moved like autumn water as she eagerly shuttled among the crowd, but she never saw Li Chengyun, and her heart sank suddenly.

Fortunately, she looked up and saw a familiar figure fighting fiercely with Haitang Duoduo in the pavilion not far away.

It was Li Chengyun.

Seeing this scene, the eldest princess felt relieved and her worries were reduced.

But seeing that there were dark shadows around Li Chengyun and killers lurking around, how could she just sit there and do nothing?
Without the slightest hesitation, the princess gritted her teeth and shouted, like a phoenix calling out to the sky:

"Charge! We must rescue the Sixth Prince!"

After she finished speaking, her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards where Li Chengyun was.

When Li Chengyun heard the voice, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw the eldest princess running towards him in an unstoppable manner.

Although he knew that he was capable of handling the current predicament, the eldest princess's desperate help still warmed his heart and he nodded secretly.

At this time, the confrontation between Li Chengyun and Haitang Duoduo has reached a climax, and the scandal of the prince's collusion with Northern Qi has spread like wildfire.

He knew the time had come and it was time to close the net, so he gathered all his internal strength and swung out with one palm, knocking Haitang Duoduo back several steps.

At the same time, he called out loudly: "Old Huang, the time has come, it's up to you!"

Hearing the voice, Jian Jiuhuang was stroking the old horse's mane. He stretched himself lazily and smiled lightly:
"It's finally my turn." After saying that, he looked around at the enemies, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, and he sighed:

"A mere ant, do you think you can shake the young master?"

The sound of Jian Jiuhuang was as thin as a mosquito, and most people were unable to grasp its meaning.

But the scene that followed was deeply engraved in everyone's mind like a brand.

For those enemies who intended to trap him, this would be the last frozen image of their lives.

Suddenly.

A flash of sword light cut through the sky, dazzling and bright, like a meteor in the sky, coming unexpectedly!

Followed by.

Thousands of sword shadows intertwined, they were like messengers from the underworld, carrying an invitation to death, and shuttled among the enemy groups accurately. Each sword was aimed directly at the vital points, leaving no room for maneuver.

No matter whether they were third- or fourth-rank warriors, fifth- or sixth-rank strongmen, or even seventh- or eighth-rank masters, under this peerless sword light, they all became lambs to be slaughtered, and no one was spared.

As the sword was drawn, blood spurted from the throat and the fire of life was extinguished in an instant, fully demonstrating the profound meaning of "equality of all beings".

The sword light faded and the dust settled.

Everyone dared to open their eyes, only to see fallen figures all over the ground. Blood gathered into a stream, flowing slowly, dyeing the land a shocking red. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and deathly silence.

At this moment, Jian Jiuhuang has completely shed the despicable old servant he once was.

He stood tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, as steady as a mountain, with an imposing bearing, revealing the demeanor of a master, making people dare not look directly at him.

"From this moment on, anyone who intends to harm the young master will be killed without mercy!"

The whole place suddenly fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone knows that this seemingly ordinary groom is actually a hidden great master whose power is beyond imagination.

Looking at the blood all over the ground and the river of blood, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Recalling the rumors that Jian Jiuhuang was able to wipe out three thousand guards on the long street with his own strength.

At this moment, it seems that it is not only worthy of praise, but also adds a bit of legendary color.

The people under Li Chengze felt the joy of surviving the disaster, but also had a deep respect for Lao Huang's unparalleled strength.

They knew that with Old Huang by his side, the Second Prince would be safe.

And inside the pavilion.

The assassins of Northern Qi turned pale and their scalps numbed.

The power of the Grand Master was so terrifying that they couldn't help but despair. With such a huge disparity in strength, how could they expect the assassination to succeed?

Haitang Duoduo looked even paler. She covered her chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Apparently he had been seriously injured in the fierce battle with Li Chengyun.

I thought I could set up a tight net, but the situation took a sudden turn for the worse and it was all over.

She felt like retreating, so she waved her jade hand and said resolutely:

"Retreat, evacuate separately, if only one person can escape, then escape!"

After saying this, she rode away resolutely, leaving the crowd with the same grace as when she came here, even though she was seriously injured.

Li Chengyun looked at his back without any intention of chasing him.

Indeed, if Lao Huang were called upon to take action, Haitang Duoduo would be unable to escape this disaster.

But Li Chengyun had other thoughts in mind. He did not want to take his life, nor did he want to kill all the people in Northern Qi.

Just because of the identities of these people, they can become chess pieces in his hands and can be used in endless ways.

Li Chengze on the side was overjoyed and praised:
"Great! Sixth brother, this time we are relying on you to turn the tide."

After saying this, he bowed deeply in the direction of Old Huang:
"I am also grateful for saving my life, Grandmaster. If you hadn't helped me, I would have died."

His joy was beyond words; after all, he was still alive.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, looked pale and in despair.

He knew clearly that Li Chengyun and Li Chengze would never let him go easily and he was going to die.

At this time, Li Chengyun slowly walked to his side, his face frosty and his eyes full of coldness and determination.

Now, he wanted to personally end the life of the deposed prince!
