Chapter 372 - The Person Hiding Behind

At this critical moment, a strong gale blocked the attack.

Yue Leng and Yue Lan were safe and sound, they had long anticipated this would happen. If he wasn't prepared, how would he have the audacity to come?

When Yue Jinhua saw the person blocking in front of them, his expression suddenly darkened.

In the entire Western Lantern Kingdom, there was only one person whose strength surpassed him, and that was his younger brother, Yue Jinchao! Back then, during the fight for the throne, he had used all his strength in the end to barely win, yet Yue Jinchao had then left the Western Lantern Kingdom and traveled throughout the Seven Nations. In the past, the strength of the two of them were equal. Even though he had not slacked off in his cultivation over the past few years, but in this exchange of blows, Yue Jinchao's cultivation now exceeded his!

"It's you." Yue Jinhua was a little surprised. After all, he never expected to see Yue Jinchao again one day. It seemed that Yue Jinchao already knew about the relationship between him and Little Shan.

To Yue Jinchao, the person he hated the most in his life was Yue Jinhua. Never would he have thought that there would be a day when he would have something on Yue Jinhua, and he had not discovered any clues about him for many years! Now that he had the chance to face this hard-earned truth, he definitely had to let Yue Jinhua die!

"Back then, the throne was clearly mine, but I let you get to it first. If you hadn't harmed me, how could I have left the Western Lantern Kingdom in one fell swoop? Yue Jinhua, you should have long thought of this! Needless to say, I have only one goal for returning to Western Lantern Kingdom today, and that is to kill you to resolve the hatred in my heart! " Yue Jinchao took out his weapon, without saying a word, he attacked towards Yue Jinhua.

The two experts exchanged blows!

Yue Leng also immediately took action, planning to end the battle quickly with Yue Jinchao and Yue Yang.

Yue Jinhua's expression did not change, even when facing Yue Jinchao whose cultivation was higher than his, he still did not show the slightest bit of panic. As the Emperor of a country, he had all sorts of Magic Treasures on him! Using all of them, even if it was tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to use them all.

This was a fierce battle.

The court lady outside the imperial study had long since been sent away, and a barrier had been set up around the imperial study. Today, either Yue Jinhua would die, or they would die!

Bladelight and Swordshadows, both sides were starting to get injured.

On the rooftop, Xiao Qianhan and Ye Jun were constantly observing the situation.

"We're already injured. Judging from the current situation, it won't even take an hour for both of us to suffer. When are we going to show up?" Ye Jun asked Xiao Qianhan.

Xiao Qianhan withdrew her measuring gaze and said in a heavy voice: "Wait for one more person. When Yue Jinhua is surrounded and attacked, Princess Yueshan will definitely come. It just so happens that we can catch him all in one go."

"Alright!"

After about fifteen minutes, Yue Jinhua's spirit energy had clearly been running out, and even after consuming many pills, he was still unable to resist Yue Leng and Yue Jinchao for long. To be able to last till now, it was all thanks to the various storage bag s and magic tools, but it was clear that the two people in front of them were already prepared for it.

Obviously, he had consumed the most of his spirit energy, but Yue Jinchao had only consumed a little, and there were a few injuries on his body. It was easy for the two of them to kill him. Unless someone came to his rescue now!

Little Shan's heart was connected to his, so she would definitely rush over to save him! He only needed to hold on for a little while longer.

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, just as Yue Jinchao was about to attack him again, a figure suddenly passed through the barrier at an extremely fast speed, and stood in front of Yue Jinhua, who was about to deplete his spirit energy, like a ray of light and shadow.

Yue Shan's eyes turned red, she looked at Yue Jinhua nervously, "Elder brother, I came late."

"I knew you'd come back. Don't worry, I'm fine." Yue Jinhua heaved a sigh of relief, and his deathly pale face eased up quite a bit.

"Take this pill first." After Princess Yueshan passed a pill to Yue Jinhua, she looked at Yue Jinchao and Yue Leng. Her beautiful face was filled with killing intent that seemed to be frozen. He actually dared to hurt his royal brother! Yue Jinchao, if not for royal brother letting you go that year, do you think you could have safely left the Western Lantern Kingdom? And Yue Leng, even though you are not my royal brother's biological son, my royal brother gave you a supreme status. If you didn't act rashly today, this position of Western Lantern Kingdom would be yours in the near future! Yet you actually teamed up with Yue Jinchao to kill your royal brother! You will pay the price for your decision today! Yue Jinchao, your current strength does indeed surpass that of royal brother, but unfortunately, just a moment ago, I had already broken through to the great circle of the Sky Profound Realm! "

Yue Jinhua's eyes flashed with shock and astonishment. What method did Little Shan use to breakthrough? It was absolutely impossible to go from the Middle stages of the Sky Profound Realm to the great perfection in such a short period of time!

Hearing that, both Yue Jinchao and Yue Leng's face changed at the same time. Especially Yue Leng, he never thought that Yue Jinhua would actually pass down to him in the future!

Yue Jinchao didn't listen to Yue Shan's words at all, and looked at Yue Shan with a cold smile.

Yue Jinhua's face changed, a dense killing intent flowed in his eyes, he clenched his fists and said: Today, I will definitely kill you!

"Then let's give it a try!" Yue Jinchao was completely unafraid, and directly struck a sharp palm towards Yue Shan.

Yue Leng and Yue Lan were currently in a daze. If not for the assassination attempt today, their current position would not have been affected at all. What Princess Yueshan had just said did not seem to be a lie. But now, they had made it so that she had no way out!

Yue Shan squinted her eyes, with killing intent flickering in her eyes. After blocking Yue Jinhua's palm, she turned her head and gently warned Yue Jinhua, "Don't worry, I will deal with them by myself. You rest for a while, don't rush to help me."

"Be careful." Yue Jinhua nodded, he swallowed the pill and closed his eyes to recuperate.

An hour later.

Both sides stopped.

Both of them were severely injured, and as they looked at the wounds on each other's bodies, their eyes flashed with an extremely complicated light. The current situation was one of multiple losses. The only person who was safe and sound was Yue Lan, but Yue Lan's strength was too weak, even with her dense spirit energy, she was unable to help.

So they were both weighing each other out, trying to figure out how to get the upper hand.

For some unknown reason, everyone suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in their bodies was still being consumed, and even their heads felt a little heavy.

What was going on?

Although he had consumed quite a bit of his spiritual energy in the previous battle, it was not enough to keep using up his spiritual energy after the armistice. This was far too unusual!

And now, he couldn't even control it!

Almost at the same time, the same thought appeared in the minds of Yue Jinchao and the others. Someone! There was someone behind this! The reason why they hid was probably to wait until both of them were injured before making a move!

Who was this person?

Yue Jinhua and Yue Shan looked at each other, as though they could see the answer in each other's eyes.

It was the Xiao Qianhan that they had just decided to get rid of! It could only be Xiao Qianhan! I didn't expect her to have such an unfathomable scheming mind! Count them all in!
