"Now that the Imperial Master is dead, the commander of the imperial guards is dying of poisoning, and that eunuch surnamed Gao has abandoned Your Majesty to support Princess Chu Xiao, Your Majesty is now alone, how can you be an enemy of us?"
After hearing this, Xi Heng stood up in a leisurely manner, opened the outer garment of his dragon robe and threw it away, revealing a dark red suit with bright golden dragons and phoenixes patterned on it. He then drew the imperial sword from his waist with his right hand.
"Just rely on the sword in my hand!"
.........
Chapter 47: Heartfelt
In the court, several treacherous officials saw Xi Heng draw his sword, but instead of being afraid, they burst into laughter:
"Your Majesty is so young. No matter how amazing his talent is, he is only at the beginning of the dark energy! How can he deal with a strong person of the transformation energy?"
One of them waved his hand back fiercely and called out, "Master Hei Ling Dao! Please take action!"
Before the voice fell, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.
At the same time, the sound of whistling wind followed.
The black wind blew into the court with countless dust, causing the colorful court robes of the officials to flutter continuously.
Xi Heng stared intently, brandished his sword and shouted, "Where are the guards?!"
"You're still thinking about the Imperial Guards? You really don't know how to live or die!" Someone below mocked:
"Your Majesty's guards have long been bribed by this old minister! They will never get involved in this dispute!"
"Really?" Xi Heng responded calmly.
Seeing the black and gray evil wind blowing with a strong and suppressed murderous intent, she just glanced at it casually and continued to look at the treacherous minister below.
She stepped forward, and when she landed, there was a sudden deafening sound of swords and guns above her head. The figure wrapped in the black wind was blocked by the sudden appearance of the commander of the guards holding a silver dragon spear.
Clang——
The crisp sound of a sword and the whistling sound of an evil wind resounded throughout the hall. The black shadow that was attacking from above revealed its true form. This person was wearing a black robe with holes, holding a big sword, his face and skin were pale, and he had no eyebrows or hair on his head.
The blade of the sword in his hand was straight, and the sharp edge was covered with countless dents and sword marks. It did not look like a magical weapon that could cut through iron like mud, but rather like a tattered and worn-out sword that he had picked up from a fierce battlefield.
But whenever the long sword was swung, there would always be gusts of gray and black evil wind blowing.
His might made all the ministers in the court retreat to a corner.
The silver dragon spear was against the worn-out sword. As the commander of the imperial guards gritted his teeth and held on, a figure in blue appeared on the side. It was the old eunuch who was hiding nearby.
He raised his palms, flashed them back and forth in a dazzling manner, and then tried his best to strike the black-robed swordsman through the air.
The palm wind roared and there was a faint sound of a tiger's roar.
The black-robed swordsman in the air felt threatened and immediately turned his sword and chopped it from bottom to top.
The spear was held horizontally to block again, and the black-clothed swordsman used this force to fall to the ground at a very fast speed.
A pair of skinny legs hit the carpet in the court with a muffled thud, and then the commander of the imperial guards and the old eunuch also fell down and blocked the swordsman.
"Eunuch Gao..." The pale-looking, inhuman-looking black-clothed swordsman sneered in a hoarse voice:
"As the rumors say, you have internal injuries, your meridians are disordered and you can no longer gather your strength. If not, that palm strike just now might have really knocked me to the ground."
"Master Blackling!" the old eunuch shouted:
"The current emperor is a chivalrous emperor who serves the country and the people. If you assassinate him, not only will the imperial court want your head, but even the chivalrous people in the martial arts world will definitely take your life! It's not too late to stop now, otherwise you will be despised and hunted by everyone for the rest of your life!"
"Spit on?" The man in black robes seemed to have heard some funny story, and sneered a few times in a hoarse voice:
"When I killed my master more than ten years ago, I was already hated by the entire martial arts community, but so what?"
"Since I have spent ten years to accumulate my strength, fame and power should be within my reach, right?"
"There is no such thing as righteousness, courtesy and rules in the martial arts world! Whoever has the bigger fist and the better martial arts skills rules the rules!"
He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and the black robe and the long sword turned, and gusts of black wind blew up again.
Xi Heng, who was protected behind, narrowed her eyes. The murderous intent of the opponent was no weaker than hers.
The number of people I have killed is probably still too few.
While Xi Heng was thinking silently, the old eunuch and the commander of the imperial guards in front of him also showed their powerful aura to counter the thick murderous aura.
At the same time, hundreds of imperial guards guarding outside the palace finally rushed over after hearing the sound. The armor plates made a trembling sound, and the red tassels of their spears fluttered. They surrounded the Black Ling Sword Master and set up a spear formation.
"Hah!" The guards shouted together to encourage each other.
"What's wrong?" The Black Spirit Sword Master frowned and turned back to ask:
"Are you guys playing dumb? Didn't you tell us that you have bribed the imperial guards so they won't come to stop us?"
The three treacherous officials also panicked when they saw the imperial guards coming. They stared at the imperial guards commander and the eunuch who were holding silver spears and looking vigorous in front of them: "You were poisoned by the blood-sucking poison, why were you still able to take action, and why did you try to stop us?"
"How can we, the officials, stand by and watch Your Majesty being attacked?" The old eunuch waved his hands again as if to attack, his whole body glowing with a faint white aura to protect him.
The commander of the imperial guards laughed loudly, and suddenly swung his spear, and the wind from the spear caused the dust on the ground to scatter everywhere.
"Your Majesty has saved my life, so why would it hurt to sacrifice my life for him again?"
"This, this..." The treacherous minister who was originally full of confidence looked around and took a few steps back and said:
"Master, the situation has changed. Why don't you help us break out of the encirclement first?"
"So what if the situation has changed? Just relying on the two of you who have mastered the hidden power, plus these small fry beside you, can you stop me?!" The man laughed arrogantly and stared at Xi Heng with his dark eyes.
The next moment, he moved his feet and turned into a black shadow, attacking with a knife.
Xi Heng raised his sword and prepared to meet the enemy.
In front, Eunuch Gao and Commander Ma Yi used a few moves to stop the black shadow. Seeing that he could not decapitate him directly, the swordsman just swung a gust of sword towards Xi Heng, then fixed his eyes on the eunuch, turned the sword in his hand, and chopped it down head-on.
The long sword in Xi Heng's hand suddenly burst forward with hidden power, creating a sword wind to try to block the incoming knife wind.
However, the knife wind that had already blown over more than ten meters was still strong. Even though it was partially offset by the sword wind, many thin bloodstains still appeared on her clothes and one side of her cheek.
"Your Majesty, we can only hold him back for a while!"
The old eunuch's loud shout reached Xi Heng's ears.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of swords and guns clashing rang out one after another.
Xi Heng took a quick glance and after just a few moves, the two people who had achieved great success in dark energy were already clearly at a disadvantage.
The next moment, she stared at the three treacherous ministers who were retreating quietly without hesitation.
As she had just entered the realm of dark energy martial arts, she naturally could not participate in a battle with a martial artist of transformed energy.
She didn't have much progress in lightness skills. It was okay for traveling, but if she really wanted to escape, judging from the lightness skills that the enemy had used when they entered the scene, it would be difficult for her to escape.
It would be better to take advantage of this last moment to chop off a few more enemies’ heads.
Xi Heng picked up the sword and used all his strength to rush straight towards the treacherous minister on the ground.
When the three treacherous ministers saw Xi Heng drawing his sword and attacking, they immediately changed their quiet footsteps into a hasty escape.
But they obviously didn't know any internal energy or lightness skills, and even their escape was in a mess. One of them even stepped on his own court robe and fell to the ground.
Xi Heng turned into a dark red blood shadow and approached, holding up his sword beside the fallen counselor. Seeing the other party's panic, he subconsciously felt a little happy in his heart.
She turned her long sword and stabbed it downwards with her backhand. The sharp blade pierced through the man's back, broke his heart, and pierced two inches into the ground in the hall before she pulled it straight out.
"Mercy, spare my life--" The long sword was already splattered with blood before the man could utter two words.
"late!"
Blood gushed out from the opponent's wound like a fountain.
After killing this man, she looked at the other two treacherous ministers.
The two mortals opened their eyes wide, retreated repeatedly, waved their hands, and begged for mercy.
"You're not as courageous as the three people I killed before." Xi Heng felt bored after hearing a few words:
"No wonder none of you can become prime minister."
After saying that, she stepped forward and chopped off another person's distorted and frightened face.
Blood spurted out, and the head with the black hat rolled down, rolling a few times.
There was some blood on Xi Heng's clothes and sword. When he smelled the warm smell of blood, he felt excited instead.
She raised her right hand and licked it, then her nimble fingers grasped the hilt of the sword again. Her eyes, slightly reddened by the surging blood and energy in her body, fell on the last person who was fleeing in the distance.
The white-haired girl walked over with light steps, her steps seemed slow, but she caught up with the other person the next moment.
Xi Heng directly grabbed the treacherous minister's left hand and twisted his wrist suddenly, causing the man's arm to break with a click. The joint was twisted beyond the limit, causing the man to scream like a pig being slaughtered and unable to move due to the pain.
She pushed him again and knocked him to the ground, and with a slash of the long sword in her hand, a thin red line was cut on the opponent.
Xi Heng raised his foot, making the official face up, and asked:
"What's your name?"
The other party's eyes were full of fear, and he opened his mouth nervously to respond, but Xi Heng stabbed a sword into his mouth, piercing straight through.
"Oh, I remember now. You are the one in charge of the Privy Council." Xi Heng moved his arm and cut the other person's head off from the corner of his mouth.
The man's eyes were wide open, blood was constantly oozing out of his throat, and he could not utter any words.
After killing three people in a row, Xi Heng let out a breath and looked around again, only to find that the surrounding scene had become extremely chaotic again.
Most of the officials who were originally attending court meetings have already hidden in various corners or directly left the Taixiao Palace.
The imperial guards who had surrounded the field had been hacked to pieces by the Black Spirit Sword Master. Their heavy dark red armor could not withstand the sword attacks of the Hua Jin warriors.
At this moment, the commander of the imperial guards was knocked to the ground, and only the old eunuch with scars all over his body was still fighting desperately. However, a palm warrior cannot beat a sword warrior, not to mention that the opponent is using the power of transformation. Now the old eunuch has been deeply injured by the sword wind, and his body is covered with scars, looking like a bloody man.
The pale white energy that had illuminated her body when she waved her palm had disappeared. It was obvious that she was gritting her teeth and holding on, and could collapse at any time.
Xi Heng took a deep breath and stared at the vicious swordsman whose robe was torn and covered in blood.
She remembered the other party's name and called out directly:
"Master Black Spirit Blade! Come and fight me!"
The Black Spirit Blade Master was about to continue fighting with the old eunuch, but upon hearing this, he turned around and stared at him with the look of a wolf or an eagle.
This man had a cruel look on his face. With just a glance back, he was filled with murderous intent and the might of an angry beast.
Xi Heng's mind was affected by it, and he was as if he was looking at an abyss and was afraid to move forward.
"Heh..." The black-robed swordsman turned around and pointed his thick finger at Xi Heng. After a round of killing, his voice became louder and louder:
"That eunuch named Gao has been fighting for you for so long, but you don't flee from here, but want to fight with me instead? You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"
The blade in its hand suddenly stopped, and the energy in its body burst out, pushing back several guards who were rushing towards it with guns by several meters, bursting out with a magnificent momentum that made people sigh.
Xi Heng's eyes became more and more solemn. He scratched the blade of the long sword with his left thumb, and his own blood and the blood of others soaked the long sword, turning it red.
She performed a duel ritual and said loudly:
"I am Xi Heng, the heir of the Bloodline Sword Sect. I will take your life today!"
The blood poison technique from the Blood Sea Method has been attached to the sword. Any wound on the enemy's body can cause his blood to boil. If not treated in time, the boiling blood can spread throughout the body, making the enemy's heart unable to bear it and die of heart palpitations.
"How courageous!" The Black Spirit Sword Master laughed loudly, and kicked the defeated old eunuch several meters away. Then he walked towards Xi Heng step by step and replied in the same way:
"I am Hei Juanhai, the seventeenth master of the Black Ling Broadsword! Remember this name. When you go to hell and see the King of Hell, don't forget to tell him who killed you!"
"It's you who will meet the King of Hell!" Xi Heng raised the sword in his hands with both hands, and then rushed straight towards the enemy -
Seeing this attack, the Black Spirit Sword Master in the distance showed disappointment in his eyes, and then he easily raised his sword.
Clang——
Sparks flew from the clash of swords, and Xi Heng immediately stretched out his left hand and chanted as quickly as possible: "Open!"
The nails on her hands grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they became small tree crowns that looked like skeletons.
The next moment, the skeleton exploded into countless pieces and rushed towards the enemy at the speed of a cloud bomb.
With a loud bang, all the skeletons hit the black-robed swordsman directly.
But the countless bone fragments were just like hitting a thick iron plate. They only broke the black robe on the surface, made a few dents on the surface of his skin, and then fell to the ground one by one.
The withered white flesh was hit, and not even a trace of blood was left.
Xi Heng frowned, raised his left hand and said again: "Chi!"
