Chapter 109 - Worst Situation

The black skeleton knight's raised their sword and lunged toward Dongfang Ruyi and the others.

Dongfang Ruyi lazily waved his right hand, the black shockwave lashed out destroying anything on its path turned all the black skeleton knights along with the wall behind them to dust.

BOOOOOOM!

This was the first time Mu Xuan Yin saw Dongfang Ruyi's true strength; cold sweat poured out from her forehead when she remembered how she kicked him out just a moment ago.

'God! Hopefully, he forgot about it later...'

Though Dongfang Ruyi easily grinds all of them to dust but black skeleton knights unfazed and quickly recovered to their normal form then attacked once again.

Dongfang Ruyi frowned and thought: 'This is troublesome! It's better if I try to find out what is this creature really is?!' Dongfang Ruyi said: "Zhong Yi, hold them out first for this King but remember Yin'er safety is your top priority!"

"Yes, My King!" Zhong Yi answered immediately, he also Core Formation expert so dealing with this tens of rigid Qi Condensation skeleton knights was easy but it was also impossible for Zhong Yi to kill this creature after a few tries to beheaded it. 

Dongfang Ruyi came out from Mu Xuan Yin's room and observed his surroundings, he believes this… creatures were not actually undying but they were actually a part of something… familiar.

Dongfang Ruyi remembered the feeling when he trapped in Nangong Liuchen's formation and mumbled softly: "A formation…"

Dongfang Ruyi observed the sky and found out that the black cloud actually completely covered the entire imperial palace.

The darkness covered the entire imperial palace and its surrounding like the night without stars and moon, no light could pass the dark cloud above.

As the surrounding black fog was getting thicker and thicker, even looking at their own feet or hand was an arduous task now. 

The dark cloud on the sky, the black fog on the ground, Dongfang Ruyi frowned deeper as his feeling was proofed right and said: "Someone actually set a formation array on an entire imperial palace!"

The amount of the Black skeleton knights on their surroundings was not decreased, on the contrary, they increased at an alarming rate now. There were at least more than one hundred of them.

"This is not good! Let's move on right now!" Dongfang Ruyi said indignantly, he really hates this feeling, he felt worse than a frog trapped in the jar.

"Wait!" Mu Xuan Yin called.

"Yin'er, there is no need to be afraid of. As long as this King is here, nothing could hurt even your single hair!" Dongfang Ruyi said full of confidence with a gentle smile on his handsome face. His pair of golden eyes gave Mu Xuan Yin safe feeling

"Er… It's not like that… I… I still wear my pajama right now so… Can I change my clothes in the bathroom first before we go? Just one minute! Please?" Mu Xuan Yin's face reddened like an apple. 

She looks so cute with her blush. If she confessed her love to Dongfang Ruyi like this, he would definitely pass out in happiness in an instant but unfortunately, this was not the time for this.  

Zhong Yi: "….."

Dongfang Ruyi: "….." Woman, the situation already grave like this and you still can think about your clothes! Well… I forgive you since you're so adorable!

"Argh! My Eyes! My Eyes! My King, Why?!" Zhong Yi cried in pain when Dongfang Ruyi poked his eyes with his fingers.

…..

…

Meanwhile, the situation in the imperial court was far a lot worse!

Emperor Yuan Qian sat on his throne with a dark face while his empress sat beside him with a worried expression.

All the officers and ministers below him argued back and forth in fear and panic.

Without Mu Xuan Yin and Dongfang Ruyi's know, a lot of things were actually happened last night.

After Bai Liang Su burned the black talisman, he quickly gathered all of his troops at the east city gate.

Of course, Bai Liang Su's large move did not pass Yuan Qian's eyes. 

Yuan Qian thought Bai Liang Su could not hold it any longer and really planned to make a move to rebel so he planned to use this chance to wipe out Bai Liang Su and his men once and for all.

So Yuan Qian stationed all of his imperial guards at the east city gate to confront them.

Who knows that all of these were actually only a diversion!

When the most of imperial guards and palace troops out, the giant formation that covered the entire imperial palace activated!

No one inside can go out and no one outside can enter now!

Yuan Qian had no choice but to call all the ministers, officers, and captains in the imperial palace to think about their next move or how they could break this situation.

However, it was obvious that Yuan Qian was hoping too far from this group of cowards. In normal days, they performed rather good but in this threatening situation, their IQ took a nosedive and retreating was all they could think.

"SHUT UP YOU ALL!" Yuan Qian's patience was run out and he screaming at the top of his lung.

Just as Yuan Qian screamed, a dark cloud filled the sky and the black fog began to spread around.

The ominous feeling filled the air. 

Horror struck in the heart of all the people in the imperial court.

Yuan Qian knew that this disaster was going to come. 

It was impossible from the start for Bai Liang Su and the people behind him to only lock them down inside the imperial palace without doing anything. 

They must have the next follow-up plan; the previous step by step plan was only to trap them like a fish on the chopping board and what comes next will be the finisher.

The countless black skeleton knights came out from inside the black fog pouring toward the imperial court from all direction, all the people inside ran away in panic like a headless chicken but there was no way to run.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere as the black skeleton knights swung their rusted saber right and left!

"Your majesty!" Several secret guards, tens of imperial guards, and captains circled Yuan Qian and his empress to protect them from all harm.

However, the strength disparity was too wide since all of them only at Body Tempering Stage while all the black skeleton knights were already reach Qi Condensation Stage; moreover, their number was truly overwhelming!

Yuan Qian's people began to fall one by one at an alarming rate but they still fought bravely, ready to throw their lives for their king to break the encirclement!
