Chapter 1071: Chapter 0631: Knocking Down with One Slice_1 Chapter 1071: Chapter 0631: Knocking Down with One Slice_1 Chapter 0631: A Knife Fells the Emperor
The light was moving too fast, and since it only had to travel less than twenty ters before it was about to pierce Emperor Yonghe, he had almost no ti to react. Not only did Emperor Yonghe fail to respond, but so did his subordinates. No one stepped in front of him to act as a shield or made any attempt to block the strike.
The light continued to penetrate through layers of defense, and even the several Half-step Nascent Soul level Defensive Magical Artifacts equipped on Emperor Yonghe didn’t offer much protection.
“It’s a Wolf Teeth Knife.”
Just as the bright light was about to pierce him, a single thought had ti to flash through Emperor Yonghe’s mind. Then, the light penetrated his right chest, creating a gaping hole through which blood spurted.
“It’s over. How can there be such a powerful Wolf Teeth Knife in the world? I have miscalculated,” thought Emperor Yonghe. Then, his vision darkened, and he fell backward, landing rigidly on the ground. Although the right chest was not where the heart lay, a wound there was still a grave injury, significantly damaging both his body and his confidence.
As a prince, Emperor Yonghe had lived a life of luxury from a young age. There were always many people by his side, protecting him thoroughly—suffering such a severe injury, let alone a re fall where he might scrape his arm or knee, was almost unheard of. Emperor Yonghe had always believed in his safety, at least in terms of his physical well-being. But now, a re Wolf Teeth Knife had pierced his body, dealing a massive blow to his confidence and shocking him profoundly. Forget that he was now badly injured—even without injuries, the re shock would have been enough to make the pampered Emperor Yonghe faint.
“This is bad, master, the Prince is injured! The Prince has fainted!”
The Gold Core Realm experts who had co with Emperor Yonghe were thrown into chaos. Emperor Yonghe was their prince, the cornerstone of their loyalty. Although the emperor falling unconscious didn’t completely disorient them, it struck a heavy psychological blow.
“Quick, protect the Prince! Take him and break out, we absolutely can’t let him fall into Jianwu Palace’s hands,” shouted one of the loyal Gold Core Realm experts as they raised their voices.
Imdiately, several Gold Core Realm experts gathered towards Emperor Yonghe to secure his safety. However, at that mont, several more beams of light lit up, and one Wolf Teeth Knife after another shot out like money ant nothing, creating a terrifying barrage directly targeting those trying to protect Emperor Yonghe.
Dozens of Gold Core Realm experts huddled together, which left them little room to maneuver. Furthermore, to ensure the success of this encirclent, Emperor Jianwu and Huoyang Emperor had set up a No-fly Array around the palace in advance. The attacked Gold Core Realm experts couldn’t even take to the air to dodge. And it was unlikely for them to be equipped with several Half-step Nascent Soul level Defensive Magical Artifacts; to even have one or two was quite remarkable. Most of them didn’t have a single such artifact on them. Faced with a surprise assault from the Wolf Teeth Knives under these circumstances, the outco was predictable.
In an instant, the scene was filled with screams of agony as one after another, the Gold Core Realm experts, while trying to rush to Emperor Yonghe’s side to protect him, fell to the ground. Without exception, they were all struck by the Wolf Teeth Knives and suffered severe injuries. Although they wouldn’t die imdiately, they had lost their combat abilities. At this point, if they didn’t beco a burden to their allies, that was already a rcy.
Emperor Yonghe had brought over thirty Gold Core Realm experts with him, but before they could exhibit any combat power or inflict any damage, the situation had drastically reversed. In just a few seconds, over ten Gold Core Realm experts lay on the ground. Such a turn of events crushed the morale of Emperor Yonghe’s side.
No one dared to rush towards Emperor Yonghe anymore, fearing that they wouldn’t make it a few steps before being felled by the Wolf Teeth Knives. At this point, so were even contemplating abandoning Emperor Yonghe and escaping from Jianwu Palace first. Later, they could either call for reinforcents, seek aid, or perhaps just flee the Eastern Capital City and stay far away from Yonghe Palace, living out their lives as independent cultivators—it didn’t seem like a bad idea.
But before they could act, Emperor Jianwu and Huoyang Emperor received a transmission from Qi Tian, ordering them to instruct all their forces to press the attack, giving Yonghe Palace’s people no chance to breathe, and to capture all of them without fail.
Emperor Jianwu and Huoyang Emperor were stunned. They had braced themselves for a fierce battle and were prepared to suffer considerable casualties. In their hearts, they had not even expected to keep Emperor Yonghe there.
In their view, if they could make Emperor Yonghe suffer a great loss and kill or injure so Gold Core Realm experts, that would be the greatest revenge against him. What they hadn’t anticipated was to see such a dramatic reversal at the beginning of the battle. Emperor Yonghe and over a dozen Gold Core Realm experts had all been struck by the Wolf Teeth Knives and lay injured on the ground. Such a victory was monuntal. If word were to spread, it would undoubtedly shock the entire Eastern Capital City.
