Chapter 1410 You dare touch my woman? You've got a death wish.
Before the dozen or so axemen at the front could even see how he drew his sword, they felt a chill on their necks and their heads flew into the air!
Hot blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, staining the entire mountain path a shocking crimson!
One slash, and more than a dozen people died!
Such a terrifying sight caused the rebels who rushed forward to halt abruptly!
Yue Fei gave them no time to think. Like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, his cleaver transformed into a deadly arc reaping lives! With each strike, several lives were taken. The corpses piled higher and higher beneath his feet, and his armor was already stained red with the blood of his enemies.
But his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his fighting spirit intensified!
"Hahahaha!" he burst into hearty laughter. "That was exhilarating!"
With a single stroke, he cleaved a rebel captain who attempted to ambush him from behind in two, armor and all! Then he planted his cleaver atop the mountain of corpses.
His hawk-like eyes swept over the rebel soldiers around him, who had been terrified by his killings and dared not take another step forward. His voice, like a booming bell, reverberated throughout the valley.
"My blade is not dull yet! Who dares to take another step forward!"
This statement, brimming with boundless domineering power, left everyone stunned.
Even Murong Ke, who had been arrogantly standing on the cliff face, was dumbfounded.
One man, with only one sword, actually managed to kill off hundreds of elite swordsmen and axemen!
Is this...is this guy even human?
Just as everyone was stunned by Yue Fei, the stunningly beautiful woman who had been quietly watching everything from beginning to end finally moved and slowly stepped down from the carriage riddled with arrows.
She was still wearing that same ultra-black phoenix-themed dress.
The five-zhang-long, dark gold train seemed to come alive the moment she stepped off the carriage, silently cascading down from inside.
On the hem of the skirt, a giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread, its eyes wide open and gleaming in the sunlight.
An unparalleled majesty belonging to the empress instantly enveloped the entire valley!
All the sounds of panic, fighting, and shouting seemed to be paused at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were instinctively drawn to the unbelievably beautiful woman.
"Murong Ke".
Murong Yan slowly raised her head and looked at the young general who was still in shock on the cliff. In her phoenix eyes, which were always as clear and cold as the moon, there was a cold killing intent that was devoid of any emotion.
"You still dare to come back?"
When Murong Ke heard these words and met Murong Yan's phoenix eyes filled with endless killing intent, he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, instantly sobering him up.
The fear and unease that arose in his heart because of Yue Fei's unparalleled divine might were completely replaced by greed and desire at this moment!
It was she who ruined her father's reputation and ultimately led to his execution.
As long as he kills her, Murong Ke can avenge his humiliation!
At this thought, a frenzied light, like that of a hungry wolf, burst forth in his sinister eyes!
"Hahahaha!" He laughed wildly and without restraint. "You vixen! You've finally come out!"
He pointed at Murong Yan below, her face flushed with excitement and contorted with rage.
"I thought you were going to be a coward for life! Archers! Aim your weapons!" He waved his hand sharply, his voice filled with smug satisfaction. "Fire your arrows! Pin her to the ground!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the rebel soldiers behind her, who were already speechless with amazement at Murong Yan, all drew their bows and arrows.
In their eyes, this unbelievably beautiful empress was now trapped with no way to escape.
call out--
call out--
call out--
Thousands of arrows, which had been ready to be fired, were launched wildly towards the stunning figure below!
Faced with a terrifying rain of arrows capable of turning any army into a sieve, Murong Yan didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It is Lin Zhen.
Seeing those reckless rebels dare to point their filthy arrows at his beloved, he appeared behind Murong Yan like a ghost, pulled her into his arms, and retreated, shielding the carriage in front of him.
Then Lin Zhen put his little finger to his lips and whistled. Thousands of archers in black armor emerged from behind the cliff.
Behind the archers were the Imperial Guards of the Great Qian Dynasty, armed with long spears.
They surrounded Murong Ke and his men on the cliff, and fired arrows at the rebels on the cliff.
"This is impossible!!" On the cliff, the rebels roared in despair as they watched the rain of arrows raining down on them!
They want to escape.
But where could they escape to on this crowded cliff face?
Pfft——!
Pfft——!
Pfft——!
The sounds of countless arrows piercing flesh rose and fell in waves.
Thousands of rebels were shot into pincushions before they could even scream!
The scalding blood mixed with internal organs instantly stained the entire cliff face red!
The sudden arrival of the Daqian army terrified all the rebel soldiers who had escaped being shot!
They looked down at the man standing there, his bloodthirsty eyes now filled only with primal fear!
"How...how did you know we would ambush us here? And why did you bring so many people?"
Murong Ke looked at the tens of thousands of Daqian soldiers before him, his once arrogant face now ashen.
He couldn't understand how anyone in this world could possibly be a prophet.
"How I know is unimportant." Lin Zhen looked at the cliff face, a playful smile on his face. "What's important is that you did something you shouldn't have done today!"
After saying that, he pointed to Murong Ke on the cliff, "Now, it's your turn."
As Lin Zhen's voice fell, Murong Ke seemed to see death, and his trousers were inadvertently soaked!
He was forced down the cliff by the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty and walked towards Murong Yan!
It slammed down in front of Murong Yan with a thud.
Lin Zhen smiled at Murong Yan and said, "Yan'er, it's up to you now. You can decide what to do with it."
Murong Yan nodded slightly, coldly looking down at Murong Ke, who looked like a stray dog.
“Murong Ke, you are my cousin, a member of the royal family. Even though your father rebelled, I never thought of exterminating you. I only executed Prince Cheng and took back your military power. You could have continued to live a carefree life as a member of the royal family, but you should never have had the idea of rebelling.”
"How can I possibly keep you here? How can this great Qianlong empire possibly keep you here!"
Murong Ke trembled, his eyes filled with hatred, as he looked up at Murong Yan, who was like a goddess.
"You vixen, stop your nonsense! My father expanded the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty and guarded against the villains. The throne should have been mine, and I should have been the crown prince. It's all your fault, you vixen, that you stole what was rightfully ours! It's all your fault!"
Murong Yan closed her eyes and recalled.
“When I was young, Prince Cheng treated me very well, and I loved following you around every day, calling you ‘cousin.’ But since the late emperor passed the throne to me, everything has changed. Prince Cheng is no longer the uncle who loved me so much, and you are no longer the cousin who was close to me.”
"Do you know why the late emperor did not pass the throne to Prince Cheng? Although Prince Cheng had made great contributions, he was tyrannical by nature. No prisoner who fell into his hands survived; they were all tortured to death! How could the late emperor dare to hand over the Great Qian Dynasty to such a cruel Prince Cheng!"
Murong Ke's body trembled, and a struggle appeared in his eyes.
Murong Yan turned and closed her eyes. "Murong Ke, today you, Wu Luo, cannot escape. I will remember our childhood kindness and execute you, but allow you to enter the ancestral hall."
"Yue Fei!"
"Your humble servant is here!" Yue Fei replied, bowing.
"Behead him, but leave his body intact to take back to Kyoto and enshrine in the ancestral shrine."
"Yes!" Yue Fei picked up his sword and walked toward Murong Ke.
Fear filled Murong Ke's eyes, which slowly turned into regret.
"Cousin, cousin, wait for me! You're running so fast, I can't catch up."
"Cousin, run faster! If you catch up with your cousin, you'll get candy!"
"Ke'er, you must protect your cousin. No matter what happens in the future, you must stand in front of your cousin and not let her get hurt in the slightest."
Murong Ke recalled his childhood, and the words that Murong Yan and Prince Cheng had once said to him flashed before his eyes. Why did things turn out like this? Yes, we were so close when we were young. My father also told me to protect my cousin. Did my father and I both do something wrong? A tear of regret rolled down his cheek.
The sword sliced across Murong Ke's neck, leaving a faint mark, and Murong Ke fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the execution is complete!" Yue Fei knelt on the ground.
"Back to the capital!" Murong Yan said, her eyes misting over, as she stepped onto the carriage studded with arrows.
Lin Zhen followed closely behind and embraced Murong Yan, whose eyes were misty. "Yan'er, it's all over. You did the right thing. This is not your fault."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan's tears streamed down her face.
