Chapter 439 Night Falls on Heavenly Revelations
As soon as Ji Ruofeng said his words, a small red spot appeared on Luo Qingyang's shirt.
Soon, the red spot spread quickly, staining the entire chest red.
Lei Wujie was stunned. "He's injured."
Ji Xue clenched her fingers around her Cloud-Rising staff. "Even if he's injured, he can still easily kill one or two of us at this mont."
Luo Qingyang looked down at the blood stain spreading on his chest, and did not continue to press his attack. He frowned slightly, as if considering his next move.
"Damn it." Xiao Yu cursed softly. "Wuxin."
Wuxin, all dressed in black, had been hiding in the dark and he walked up to him.
"We're leaving." Xiao Yu turned around and led the rest of his people to leave quietly.
Yan Zhantian noticed the movent behind him and said in puzzlent, "They've left."
Xie Xuan frowned and said, "Luo Qingyang may not be defeated. Why are they in such a hurry to leave?"
"You can indeed fight us to the death right now, and at least half of us will die here." Xiao Se was still holding his sword, but he could barely stay on his feet. "But with your injuries, you will not be able to finish what you really ca here for. You need to make a choice now! Solitary Sword Immortal!"
Luo Qingyang lifted his head and slowly raised his sword.
"Be careful!" Sikong Qianluo imdiately stepped in front of Xiao Se with her spear.
However, Luo Qingyang turned to face the palace gates and threw his Nine Songs sword with all his strength.
"Stop him!" Li Changqing shouted frantically, drawing his own blade.
The Nine Songs sword flew past him.
His blade broke into two.
The Brave Tiger Guards all drew their blades at the sa ti.
However, wherever the Nine Songs sword passed, all the n suffered a crushing defeat, all their blades broken.
The Nine Songs sword pressed its way through to the inner court.
Lady Consort Xuan took off her luxurious clothes and changed into a functional white outfit. She gently rubbed the head of a little palace maid who had always been waiting on her. "I'm leaving. You must also take care of yourself."
The palace maid was so frightened that she imdiately fell to her knees. "Where are you going, My Lady?"
Lady Consort Xuan smiled and looked up at the sky. "I'm going to a place without the walls of the palace."
The palace maid burst into tears. "My Lady, please don't make such jokes with this maid…"
Lady Consort Xuan sighed. She lightly flicked the palace maid's forehead with her finger and the girl fainted right away. Then, she turned around and walked out.
Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan, dressed in his purple python robe, turned around and asked softly, "My Lady, where are you going?"
"Do I need to tell the Grand Eunuch where I want to go?" Lady Consort Xuan smiled beatifically.
Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan gathered his sleeves. "Naturally, there's no need, but it's currently very dangerous outside the palace. It's best for My Lady to stay here. His Majesty doesn't wish for My Lady to leave, nor does His Highness the Red Prince."
"What if I must leave?" Lady Consort Xuan smiled. Her sleeves twitched, and three silver needles flew towards Jin Xuan.
Jin Xuan raised a finger and with a light flick, the three silver needles dropped onto the ground, broken into pieces. He shook his head and replied, "My Lady, please go back. Jin Xuan knows that My Lady's martial arts are very good, but as long as Jin Xuan is here, My Lady will not be able to step out of this palace."
"Void-Minded Skill." Lady Consort Xuan lost her smile, but she still did not retreat.
Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of a sword passing through, and the two of them turned their heads to look. They saw the long sword cut through the sky and flew straight for the Hall of Calming Purity!
The sword was extrely long. Even if they had never seen this sword before, they had heard of it.
"Nine Songs!"
"Shixiong." Lady Consort Xuan frowned tightly. Then, taking advantage of Jin Xuan's gaze on the sword, she imdiately jumped up and leaped out of the palace gates.
Jin Xuan reacted imdiately and struck with his palm, but Consort Xuan had no intention of turning back. She ignored the force of the palm strike behind her and sprinted straight out of the palace. Jin Xuan did not expect Consort Xuan to be so resolute, and was also afraid of really causing her harm, so he imdiately withdrew his palm. He cursed inwardly, then turned his head to look around. That sword had already reached the Hall of Calming Purity.
Lanyue Marquis tightened his grip on his sabre.
He had only one chance.
He had been training his violent blade for twenty years. This one blade must be his strongest blade ever.
But, will his strongest blade be able to stop this sword immortal's sword from the sky?
He drew his blade!
Lanyue Marquis leaped into the air.
And he imdiately slamd down!
The long sabre fell to the ground!
Lanyue Marquis also collapsed onto the ground. He looked at the Nine Songs sword, its montum still unabated, and he bellowed angrily, "No!"
"Bagua!" A voice suddenly sounded above the great hall, sounding like a thunderclap.
It was Qi Tianchen, dressed in the Daoist robes of a celestial master, who had suddenly appeared. He flicked his horsetail whisk, pushed out with his right hand, and a humongous bagua pattern appeared before him.
The Nine Songs sword collided with the bagua Daoist qi and finally stopped.
"Back where you ca from!" Qi Tianchen struck using his horsetail whisk, and the Nine Songs sword was actually repelled.
However, within that instant, the horsetail whisk was pulverised and Qi Tianchen's body turned old and feeble. He spat out three mouthfuls of blood, and fell onto his knees.
At the sa ti, in the Hall of Calming Purity, Mingde Emperor suddenly sat up on the bed and spat out a mouthful of black blood!
An inner eunuch saw what happened and imdiately ran out, pushing open one of the doors of the great hall as he shouted, "His Majesty was assassinated. The Emperor is dead!"
"His Majesty was assassinated. The Emperor is dead!"
"His Majesty was assassinated. The Emperor is dead!"
The news spread instantly throughout the imperial palace!
Lanyue Marquis got to his feet and imdiately rushed into the great hall.
He saw Mu Chunfeng and Hua Jin frantically working to insert needles in Mingde Emperor.
"What's going on! What's happened! Why is it like this!" Hua Jin was almost hysterical.
Lanyue Marquis rushed to the side of the bed and asked anxiously, "Is His Majesty dead?"
"Not yet, not yet." Mu Chunfeng reached out a hand and asured Mingde Emperor's pulse a few tis. "There's still breath!"
Lanyue Marquis released a small sigh and asked again, "What happened here? Was he injured by the sword?"
"Sword?" Mu Chunfeng didn't understand. He pulled out a silver needle from Mingde Emperor's body and they could all see that the needle was completely black in colour. He replied, "It's poison."
Hua Jin snapped her head up. "I get it, I get it! He knew I would use this treatnt! He was waiting for to use this treatnt! He wanted His Majesty the Emperor to die, he wanted His Majesty the Emperor to die at this ti!"
Mu Chunfeng reached out and pressed down on Hua Jin's hand. "Shifu, we haven't lost yet! There's still breath in His Majesty. We still have a chance."
Hua Jin looked defeated. "No, there's no chance anymore. No chance anymore."
"Shifu, if you can't cure him, I will!" Mu Chunfeng imdiately opened the dicine box and looked through all the precious dicinal ingredients within. But, he really didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, Lanyue Marquis jumped to his feet and glared at the eunuch who was the first to run out the door shouting. With an icy voice, he said, "Who instructed you to do that?"
The eunuch was trembling as he retreated a few steps. "I… I didn't!"
Lanyue Marquis raised his long sabre and with one swing, he chopped off the eunuch's head. Then, he pulled one of the guards over and barked, "You! Go and tell everyone now! His Majesty is not dead!"
"Yes! Sir!" The guard bolted out of the door imdiately.
