Chapter 188: Chapter 188, The Golden Mace
He Chuan used the shapeshifting technique and arrived beside Cheng’an as if he had crossed space.
This was to prevent anyone from ambushing them again.
The battle in the field was left to Princess Changning to solve, and it could be considered to have ended.
She probably had a lot of pent-up anger in her heart and needed to vent it out properly.
“Young Eunuch He!” Cheng’an lowered his head, not daring to raise it to meet the gaze of his Master, who had once taught martial arts.
“Yes, I heard that Grand Tutor Liu has passed away. Did you go to pay your respects?” He Chuan had watched Cheng’an grow up. Seeing the child of the past become like this, he couldn’t help but feel myriad emotions.
Grand Tutor Liu had been a great Confucian of the court, but he had died at Cheng’an’s behest.
Deceiving one’s Master and destroying one’s ancestor was a crime the heavens would not tolerate.
Cheng’an didn’t dare to reply. He didn’t curse or complain as he had imagined. His words were calm and unperturbed, which made him feel even worse.
“No, I didn’t,” He still answered honestly.
“A teacher is like a father. Grand Tutor Liu has taught you for many years. When this is over, go to his grave and say a few earnest words.” He Chuan did not mention the cause of Grand Tutor Liu’s death.
Even if he mentioned it, it would only add to his troubles. He couldn’t kill Cheng’an with his own hands.
“I know.” Cheng’an didn’t dare to refuse. This Young Eunuch He was mysterious and unpredictable. With just two simple moves, he was able to make the insufferably arrogant Lana suffer.
His strength was definitely enough to crush everyone present.
Furthermore, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter. Back then, he had been possessed and agreed to Lana’s request, resulting in his current state.
The key was that the woman he had been withe Xiongnu sent the woman he had been with all day to kill him.
This was what he couldn’t accept.
From the beginning to the end, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was played like a clown.
“This is what the late Emperor left in the library. I just happened to pick it up!” He Chuan took out a Golden Mace, which was made of gold.
Cheng’an immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the item.
The Emperor Whip, which was also the Golden Mace, was the wish of the Late Emperor to entrust his child to him!
The late Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty granted the ministers the power to beat up the incapable ruler and the treacherous ministers. They could even execute the Emperor first without reporting. It was equivalent to having the Emperor’s sword in hand.
Usually, the Emperor’s whip was given to a loyal and reliable old official by the Late Emperor. It was invented to prevent the Late Emperor’s heir from being fatuous and tyrannical or stop him from making mistakes due to his young and rash behavior.
Now that He Chuan had taken out this item, his meaning was very obvious.
It was the right to execute the Golden Mace.
“Little Eunuch He, what is the meaning of this? This Emperor…”
Before Cheng’an could finish speaking, He Chuan’s Golden Mace had already fallen.
He didn’t use too much force, but Cheng’an felt a burning pain in his back.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
He Chuan had a sense of decency and didn’t hurt his bones.
However, the flesh on Cheng’an’s back had already become a blur.
“If it wasn’t for the Late Empeweren’tlast words, I wouldn’t have cared what you became.” He Chuan put away the Golden Mace. He was not a psychopath, so he just needed to teach her a few appropriate lessons. There was no need to go too far.
Cheng’an gritted his teeth in pain, tears flowing down his face. It hurt.
It was a heart-wrenching pain.
He finally realized that He Chuan had soaked the Golden Mace in salt water.
Although he didn’t hurt his muscles or bones, the pain was unbearable, especially now that his back was full of wounds. The salt would amplify the pain by many times.
He didn’t dare to cry out in pain, nor did he dare to touch it. He could only stand there and watch the battle not far away.
On the other side.
Faced with Lana’s demonic soul-chasing Flying Daggers, Princess Changning, who had improved her powers, could easily block them. She once again gained the upper hand!
Lana had no choice but to return to the seven foreign beauties. She wanted to join forces to resist Princess Changning, and she was able to cooperate with them. Their hearts were connected, and they supported each other. Although one of their companions had died, Lana was able to replenish her energy, so they could continue to struggle.
Princess Changning waved out a sword curtain. With the enhancement of her strength, the sword became even sharper. Lana and the seven otherworldly beauties struggled to resist Princess Changning’s entry into the palace. She would occasionally look at He Chuan, who was not far away, and her eyes revealed an indescribable, complicated expression.
If this mysterious expert had continued to attack, they would have already been defeated.
But now, he was watching from the side. What was his purpose?
Lana was slightly distracted, and her fist techniques were a little scattered. It was inevitable that a hole would appear in the defense she had formed with the seven Western beauties.
The sharp and ghostly sword intent shot in.
The sword intent swept past her head and cut off the silver hairpin that bound her hair, letting her beautiful hair fall.
It was a close call, and she almost lost her life.
“Hall Master, be careful! Don’t be distracted!” The Western beauty beside her shouted loudly, giving her a severe blow to the head. Lana instantly regained her senses and no longer paid any attention to He Chuan, who was watching the show.
The most important thing now was to deal with Princess Changning’s evil-warding sword technique. This was the first time He Chuan had seen a joint attack, and he was amazed. If all eight of them were saint cultivators, Changning probably wouldn’t have had the chance to attack.
As expected, the power of gods and devils couldn’t be underestimated. Princess Changning, who had regained the upper hand, was even more invigorated. She couldn’t help but use her trump card. Sixteen sword energies circled the two of them, and the air was filled with the sound of swishing.
Princess Changning finally understood He Chuan’s thoughts. It would be good for her to break through if she could fight against an enemy who was on par with her.
At the same time, it also made her realize that becoming a saint cultivator was just the beginning.
Lana also began to move in a fit of hatred. She leaped and somersaulted, her hands moving as fast as lightning and transforming in all directions. She shot out all of the spinning Flying Daggers like the thousand-hand Guanyin. Princess Changning’s power was also exerted to the extreme. Her fingers formed a sword circle to form a net, instantly blocking all the flying Daggers.
Her attack didn’t slow down, and she quickly rushed through the flying daggers like flowing water. She waved her evil-warding swordsmanship, and it was as smooth as mercury flowing on the ground.
Even if Lana combined forces with the seven otherworldly beauties, they could only protect themselves for the time being. They didn’t have the power to defeat their enemies.
The evil warding sword technique was fast and ruthless, and Lana and the others were momentarily exhausted. The situation of the battle stabilized once again. Both sides were waiting for an opportunity to find the other’s weaknesses. Princess Changning gradually got used to Lana’s strange flying daggers. Her earth-splitting swordsmanship changed from sealing to twisting. Her finger swords were infused with profound internal energy and gleamed with an unstoppable force. The fearsome sword projection twisted the flying blade into countless metal fragments scattered on the ground, never returning to Lana’s hands again. Lana didn’t dare to relax after her ultimate throwing knife technique was broken. She quickly pulled out the remaining throwing knives from her chest!
Princess Changning continued to move forward, her sword’s light crisscrossing and following the same pattern, turning the flying daggers into powder. The golden light in the air became less and less, and the golden fragments scattered over the ground. In an instant!
Lana only had one flying dagger left. She flipped her wrist and held it in her hand, no longer shooting it out. She caught the sword the Western beauty tossed over from behind her and quickly charged toward Princess Changning. Of course, Lana knew how to use the sword too! Not only was she highly skilled in throwing daggers and fist techniques, but she was also skilled in swordsmanship.
Princess Changning fearlessly faced the attack head-on, her sword light aiming straight for the enemy’s Central Palace. The distance between the two of them rapidly shortened. Lana’s phoenix-like eyes widened as she let out a delicate cry, and the last flying dagger in her hand shot out.
