The Queen’s eyes sank coldly with a few sneers as she said, “Great King, Gui’er has now grown into an adult, it’s time for you to step aside and give way!”
The strength in her hand, increased a few points more, each finger was like an iron claw, sinking into the scalp of the Yunwu County King.
“Ow!”
Yunwu County King roared, his whole body’s true qi mobilised, the palms of his hands spat out a trace of white true qi, converging into a small whirlpool, striking out openly, striking at the Queen’s chest.
“Boom!”
The Queen’s chest looked like it was sunken in, spitting blood out of her mouth as she flew backwards, her body crashing into the top of a gold-cast pillar and crashing down to the centre of the great hall.
Although the Queen was also a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, after all, she was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and there was a huge gap between her and Yunwu County King. Even if the Yunwu County King had been poisoned and injured, she was still far from a match.
Zhang Tian Gui snorted coldly, his right hand touched at his waist and took out a short, metaphysical black sword, and violently rushed up, prancing up and stabbing Yunwu County King’s heart with a sword.
Yunwu County King sat on his seat and immediately used his luck to hold up his Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, forming a white true qi light shield to block Zhang Tiangui’s stabbing short sword.
“Boom!”
The black short sword struck on top of the light shield, indenting it and sending out ripples in all directions.
As he kept running his true qi, blood gushed out from the wound on the top of Yunwu County King’s head and flowed out from his hairline, his face was filled with blood, looking quite hideous as he roared harshly, saying, “Why? This king asked himself that he has not been mean to you mother and son, why did he do this? Why……why……cough……”
The toxicity in the Yunwu County King’s body kicked in, his chest was in great pain, his internal organs were dissolving, his face became incomparably pale, and a bead of sweat emerged from his forehead.
The true qi in his entire body began to become chaotic, and the power of the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity gradually weakened.
Zhang Tian Gui snorted coldly and laughed, ”Why? Isn’t that simple? Because, I want to be the Grand King of the Yunwu County Kingdom, and you being alive is a stumbling block for me. With the support of the Young Lord, I will make the Yunwu County Kingdom unify the entire Sky Demon Ridge and become a superior county kingdom. This is something that only I can do, but you cannot.”
Although the Yunwu County King didn’t know who the Young Lord Zhang Tiangui was talking about, he was so angry and saddened by Zhang Tiangui’s words that his body trembled, a desolate look appeared in his eyes as he said, “Sooner or later, I’ll pass the throne of the Yunwu County Kingdom to you, so why do …… you need to commit patricide?”
Zhang Tian Gui laughed out loud and sneered, “Patricide? Haha! You still really think that I am your son? How could there be a man as stupid as you in the world?”
“What did you say?”
Yunwu County King’s eyes were wide open, in his eyeballs, they were densely covered with blood, and his entire person, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.
“It’s better for me to tell you the truth, my great king.”
Outside the great hall, a middle-aged man walked in, looking to be in his forties. He wore a purple official robe, and on his chin, he had a goatee beard, and was none other than the State Master of the Yunwu County Kingdom, Xue Jingtian.
“State Master, without this king’s permission, how can you …… enter the royal palace?”The Yunwu County King said angrily.
Xue Jingtian laughed and said, “Great King, all these years, you have been in seclusion for many years, so how do you know that, this king’s palace forbidden land is something I can enter if I want to, and it doesn’t need any permission, or disallowance, at all. To tell you the truth, Gui’er, is actually the son of Jing Xuan and I.”
Hearing these words, the veins on Yunwu County King’s face completely bulged out as he growled, “No, no …… it’s possible …… you’re his uncle …… howpossible …… impossible …… that’s incest 'Lun …… you guys ……”
Xue Jing Tian simply ignored Yunwu County King, helped the injured Queen up, very affectionately wiped the bloodstain by the Queen’s lips clean, and softly said, “Jing Xuan, when Yunwu County King dies, we can be together often, no need to avoid him, no need to be afraid of him anymore. Are you happy?”
The Queen gently nodded and relied into Xue Jing Tian’s arms.
Until this moment, the Yunwu County King finally understood why the Queen would lay her hands on him to kill him, because, the person the Queen loved from the beginning to the end was not him at all.
Yunwu County King had always trusted Xue Jingtian, because he was the Queen’s own brother. However, the King of Yunwu County never dreamed that they would do such an outrageous thing and hide it from him. And he also hid it from him for twenty years.
Twenty years.
Sad, hateful, pitiful, lamentable.
“I only hate that I didn’t see you clearly at the beginning ……” Yunwu County King stared at the Queen, heartbroken.
The Queen stared at the Yunwu County King and said with a straight face, “For the sake of the family’s prosperity, I could only marry you. Honestly, I do have to be grateful to you all these years. If I hadn’t borrowed the resources of the Yunwu County Kingdom, it would have been impossible for my elder brother and I to reach the Heavenly Extremity Realm in our cultivation. It would also be impossible for Kei’er to have been vigorously cultivated from a young age, and even become a great disciple of the Inner House of the Cloud Martial Prefecture. In gratitude, I can leave you a whole body.”
“b*tch!”
The Yunwu County King was furious as his entire body’s true qi surged out furiously, sending Zhang Tiangui flying.
That powerful force shook both the Queen and Xue Jingtian to the point that they kept retreating to the outside of the grand hall.
“So powerful! Already poisoned by the Blood Shadow, but still so strong.”
Zhang Tianwei flew backward, crashing through the walls of the grand hall and landing outside of it.
Yunwu County King chased after him, when he arrived outside the grand hall, his entire body froze, only until this moment did he realise that blood had already flowed outside, there were sounds of killing everywhere, as well as eunuchs and palace maids who were fleeing.
“Shing Chong.”
Above a palace wall in the distance, there was a corpse hanging, that was the corpse of the number one person in the army of the Yunwu County Kingdom, “Wan Chengzhong”. He was pierced through the chest by a heavy sword and nailed to the wall, his blood falling to the ground drop by drop.
A man of iron blood in the army had died just like that.
Wan Chengzhong had been following Yunwu County King, and could be said to be Yunwu County King’s best brother, and even more so, the soul of Yunwu County Kingdom’s army.
Wan Cheng Chong’s death was another heavy blow to Yunwu County King.
“Boom!”
Above his head, the body of an old man crashed down, landing right in front of the Yunwu County King, falling and splashing blood all over the place, and some of the blood, splashing on the Yunwu County King’s face.
“Ninth uncle!”
Yunwu County King pounced in front of that old man’s corpse, wanting to help the old man up, but realised that the old man had already broken, and his whole body was so soft that he couldn’t be helped up at all.
The old man’s bones were all broken and turned into powder, and his entire body was bloody, without a single piece of intact flesh and blood.
This Ninth Granduncle, was the number one expert of the royal family, his martial cultivation had already reached the middle extreme position of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, yet he still died tragically, causing the last hope of the Yunwu County King to come to naught.
The Four Directions County King, Jin Chuan, and a line of experts from the Four Directions County Kingdom all walked out and surrounded the Yunwu County King.
It was in their hands that Wan Cheng Chong and Uncle Nine died, and if it wasn’t for their help, the royal palace’s defence system wouldn’t have been breached so quickly.
“County King Yunwu, you are at the end of your rope!”
The Four Direction County King looked at the Yunwu County King standing in the centre with pity, his heart indescribably happy. He had lost the County King’s throne because of County King Yunwu’s son.
Now, the Yunwu County King had also lost his throne and even his life because of his son.
Wasn’t this still an unimpeded thing?
Yunwu County King’s gaze, looked at each and every silhouette across the street, from Xue Jingtian, the Queen, Zhang Tiangui, and the Four Directions County King …… In the end, he knew that it would be hard to escape death today, but instead, he laughed aloud, and said: ”You …… you guys are verygood …… very good …… Tonight’s blood revenge, sooner or later, someone will find you to settle it one by one, even if I die, you guys won’t live long.”
The corner of Zhang Tian Gui’s mouth hooked and laughed, “You don’t still expect Zhang Ruochen to come back to avenge you, do you? To tell you the truth, Zhang Ruochen will never be able to return!”
“Why? What did you guys do to him?”County King Yunwu roared in a stern voice.
“The Young Master of the Black Market One Piece Hall personally attacked, how could Zhang Ruochen have a chance of surviving? Yunwu County King, don’t despair, when you die, I will send all six of your remaining sons down to meet you. Haha!”The Four Square County King laughed.
“Pfft!”
Yunwu County King spat out a mouthful of blood, his body tilted backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
In one night, he had suffered too many blows, his two best sons, one was not his own, and the other was unexpectedly killed.
Yunwu County King finally still collapsed, the toxin in his body, completely spread out and flowed into his heart. His eyes stared blankly at the sky, his mouth kept chanting, “Dust child …… dust …… child ……”
“Boom!”
Zhang Tiangui rushed over and struck the top of Yunwu County King’s head with a palm strike, shattering Yunwu County King’s head to pieces.
Yunwu County King completely died of gas.
“You still think of Zhang Ruochen even before you die, but it’s a pity that Zhang Ruochen is afraid that he’ll go to hell even before you. Yunwu County King, your life is really pathetic!”
Zhang Tian Gui looked at the corpse on the ground with cold eyes, wiped the blood on his hands with his sleeves, turned over, and asked those martial artists in the black market, “Have you captured Zhang Ruochen’s birth mother, Concubine Lin?”
Seeing that Zhang Tian Gui had even killed his own father with his own hands, those black market martial artists also developed a strong fear of him, among them, a black market martial artist walked over in fear, and carefully reported, saying, “Report……Your Highness the County King, Concubine Lin has escaped!”
“What?”
A cold light appeared in Zhang Tiangui’s eyes as he walked up to that one black market martial artist, grabbed that one black market martial artist by the neck and lifted him up, saying, “Concubine Lin is just an ordinary person, you guys can’t even kill an ordinary person?”
That one black market martial artist said in horror, “Your Highness, it’s an assassin from the Hellmouth Sect, it’s that assassin who took away Concubine Lin, we couldn’t stop him at all. His swordsmanship is extremely skillful, he killed forty-three of our experts in a row, and directly rushed out of the palace gates, no one could stop him, even the Thirteen Great Commanders of Guo died under his sword ……”
“Lol!”
Zhang Tian Gui didn’t want to listen to this, directly crushing the throat of that one black market martial artist and throwing him to the ground, he said in a deep voice, “Send someone to immediately go after Concubine Lin, at all costs, make sure to kill that woman. The rest of you, follow me to the Lin Mansion. Tonight, first destroy the royal family, then slaughter the Lin family. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will die.”
