Chapter 776 - the heaven-defying canopy, the power of fate
“It’s been so many years. Except for the time when I was tortured by Xiao ran in Inferno hell, I have never been injured.” The ninth Prince slapped the ground with one hand and jumped up.
He didn’t care about the injury on his chest and allowed the yin Qi to enter his body, freeze his life force, and erode other things.
His eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead man.
“What do you mean?” The ghost king asked with a cold face.
“I’ll use your hand to exchange for a chance for this King to see him. ”
BOOM!
The ghost king’s mind jolted, and she understood.
The ninth Prince had deliberately injured himself to make himself look miserable and even on his last breath so that he could see Emperor Sheng Wen one last time.
If he was still alive, Emperor Sheng Wen would never agree to this request.
However, he was about to die. With his status, he might really succeed.
And his appearance was his greatest assist.
Or rather …
Even if he didn’t come, even if someone else came, or if he arranged for someone to do it, he would still be able to complete the last step.
There was a deep fear in his eyes as he looked at him.
This person’s schemes were too terrifying. He had toyed with them in the palm of his hand, not even giving them a chance to turn the tables.
But she didn’t believe it.
“Do you think you can still live after being hit by this King’s palm?”
“Haven’t you already thought of it? I did it on purpose. ” The ninth Prince said.
The ghost king retreated, a trace of fear appearing in his heart.
“I don’t believe it!”
It brought with it a gust of wind and a terrifying ghostly aura as it charged forward.
“Die!” He waved his claws, and a cold aura enveloped the ninth Prince as he roared,”go to hell!”
“You’re the one who’s going to die!” The ninth Prince’s eyes were cold.
He took out the command flag of the monolith heaven guarding formation and poured spiritual power into it.
Buzzzzzz!
The command flag bloomed and turned into a yellow spiritual light. It was so fast that even the ghost king couldn’t react in time.
With a flash of light, the flag had already entered her body.
The earthen yellow spiritual light bloomed and enveloped her, stopping her in place and making her unable to move.
His life force was quickly flowing away, and his ghost body was gradually fading.
It was as if she would die completely in a few more breaths.
“Why?” The ghost king couldn’t believe it.
“The monolith heaven defending array’s energy is not exhausted. The remaining power has been hidden in this flag as a backup!” The ninth Prince narrowed his eyes and spoke with a deeper meaning.
“This is the last gift that I have prepared for them.”
“You … If you don’t die, you’ll always be a disaster …”
Chi!
Before she could finish her words, the power of the flag bloomed and swallowed her.
After finishing her off, the power contained in the flag was also exhausted, turning into a yellow smoke and dissipating.
He looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The ninth Prince’s smile was very scary. It was like a ghost ‘s.
The strange thing was that the claw wound on his chest was still worsening. Blood was flowing out continuously, and the yin Qi had entered his body, causing his vital Qi to flow out. His face was pale, without a trace of blood.
“You can’t hide!”
He lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest, and his entire body directly fell to the ground.
His face was smashed down, instantly disfigured, and blood flowed out again, but he didn’t care.
This pain was nothing, not even enough to scratch his itch.
Then, he crawled out.
Everywhere it passed.
A trail of blood was left on the ground, dyeing the carpet red.
At the same time, he shouted weakly,”I want to see father …”
They left the hall.
He didn’t stop when he saw the Imperial Dragon Holy guards who had fainted around him. His luxurious long robe had been worn down by the ground, and he had lost his dignity. His hair was disheveled, and he looked miserable. However, he still continued to shout,”I, I want to see father …”
When he reached the backyard, the Imperial Dragon Holy guard finally woke up.
They were all shocked by the scene before them.
He couldn’t care about anything else and quickly rushed over to help the ninth Prince up.
“Are you alright?” The leader asked with concern.
The ninth Prince’s eyes lit up as he thought, it’s done.
He pretended to be in the final moments of his life.
“I … I want to see my father …”
Her acting was on point. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes closed and she fainted.
“Your Highness!” The surrounding people’s expressions changed.
The commander hurriedly tested his breathing and saw that it was very weak. The wound on his chest was especially terrible, and it was even more exaggerated. One could even vaguely see his intestines.
The yin Qi had already entered his body.
“What do we do?”
His subordinates were silent.
This matter had already exceeded their authority. The commander gritted his teeth and said,”quickly send the news to eunuch Zhu and ask him to report to His Majesty!”
A Imperial Dragon sacred guard quickly left, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
……
Back at Jingwen Lane.
Just as he was about to open the door and go in, the door to the opposite courtyard opened. Shen Lu came out with a lunchbox.
From the looks of it, she seemed to have been waiting for him.
“You’re back!” Shen Lu smiled sweetly.
She walked over quickly and stopped in front of him.
Xiao ran felt a little headache. After little Zhou’s aunt changed her personality, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She was a lady from a wealthy family, and she was generous in everything she did, and she even had the etiquette of a noble.
She was quiet and ladylike, no longer as impetuous as before.
He felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would rather take a longer detour than come back from this side.
“Yes.” Xiao ran would smile.
“The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. These are the mooncakes I made this afternoon. There are fruit, peanut, and Osmanthus-flavored ones. Try them.”
