Chapter 1892: He Wouldn’t Dare to Kill Me, Right?

Chu Youzhao drew her personal sword, saying, “Your highness is acting so rude and unreasonable. Do you think we have no one here?”

With her taking the lead, the other guards also drew their blades. In a sense, they were the Chu clan’s personal army, so they cared more about their own clan’s orders. Of course, the one on the other side was a king, so they still felt a bit guilty.

King Jin's guards charged forward viciously in the blink of an eye, but they were quickly stopped by a blue barrier of light. They bounced right off and fell to the ground in disarray.

Elder Chen was a bit surprised when he saw that, remarking, “A trifling marquis manor actually had a defensive formation of this scale.”

King Jin said with a sneer, “That only shows his disloyalty. This is fine, as we can add one more thing to his list of crimes. Men, blast this formation open for me!”

“Understood!” Those who remained at his side gladly received the order. They all used what they were skilled at, sending all kinds of elements at the formation’s barrier of light.

King Jin was Zhao Han’s beloved prince, so he had no lack of powerful individuals at his side. He had all sorts of skilled geniuses of different elements. In that instant, attacks of many different colors rushed out in a grand display.

Ripples appeared on the formation. Chu Youzhao was getting nervous, but when she saw that the formation was actually fine under the concentrated barrage of attacks, she sighed in relief.

Brother-in-law really is amazing. His formation was actually this st.u.r.dy!

When he saw that his subordinates couldn't destroy the formation even after so much time, King Jin’s expression became a bit ugly. He yelled, “What are all of you doing? Did you not eat or something?!”

The guards were embarra.s.sed to disappoint the prince like this. They all got into a formation. Even though it was a simple array, it could still combine the power of their attacks, multiplying their strength several times over. Sure enough, the formation around the marquis manor began to form faint cracks, making a distinct noise.

Chu Youzhao’s expression changed and she quickly commanded, “Everyone, follow me! Let’s decrease the pressure on the formation!”

She was their young master, after all, someone who had received the best education in the capital ever since she was young. She understood the fundamental aspects of formations very clearly. She arranged the guards in a neat and orderly manner, and they quickly attacked together. Streaks of energy surged forth at the same time to help lessen the damage from their enemy.

When he saw that the situation seemed to have entered a deadlock, King Jin’s expression became ice-cold. He said, “Elder Chen, I’ll have to trouble you to help.”

This was the capital, and it was full of bigwigs. Things would get annoying if they caused too big of a disturbance and others came to see what was happening. It wouldn’t be as easy for him to capture Murong Qinghe then, nor would he be able to convict Zu An of any crimes.

The elder next to him nodded slightly, then flew into the air. His arms formed a circle, and a ball of fire suddenly manifested in the center. As his hands rubbed together, the fireball grew larger at a visible rate.

When she saw the dazzling light in the air, Chu Youzhao felt a weight drop in her stomach. She could sense the terrifying pressure even from far away.

The other side didn’t give her any time to react, though. With a push of his hands, the giant ball of fire smashed down on the defense formation like a meteor.

Boom!

A dazzling burst of fiery light accompanied by a deafening noise filled the air, making the entire marquis manor rock back and forth. Many more cracks quickly appeared on the blue defensive barrier; moments later, it fell apart completely.

Chu Youzhao and the others who had been doing their best to maintain the formation felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They all coughed out blood and fell to the ground, dispirited and weak.

“We’ve broken through!” King Jin Manor’s soldiers cheered. They charged while brandishing their blades. They all wanted to immediately capture Murong Qinghe and Chu Youzhao to earn merits.

Many guards from the marquis manor wanted to stop them, but how could they withstand the force of those ferocious soldiers while they were injured? They were instantly cut down.

Chu Youzhao felt as if her eye sockets were splitting apart. She raised her sword to help, but her cultivation wasn’t that high to begin with. The earlier attack had left her quite heavily injured too, so how could she still have any fighting strength left? Soon after, the sword she held was knocked out of her hand, and someone aimed a blow at her knee to immediately remove her ability to rebel.

In the eyes of King Jin Manor’s soldiers, what was so special about the son of a duke from a different place? Besides, in the current situation, they merely considered him a criminal.

Chu Youzhao was horrified, but she couldn't avoid the attack.

Ding!

Suddenly, with a light noise, a spear appeared and blocked the blade. Then, the spear shone with a vicious glint, piercing straight through the throat of the soldier attacking Chu Youzhao.

“Big brother Chu, are you alright?” Murong Qinghe asked, standing in front of Chu Youzhao. She had always been a fierce young woman. After suffering so many injustices, she had long since been filled with rage. When she saw that the other side had actually tried to harm her big brother Chu and the people of this manor, she could no longer hold herself back and ended his life.

“I’m fine!” Chu Youzhao replied as she looked at the severe casualties of the Chu clan all around her. Her eyes were actually a bit red.

On the other side, King Jin actually laughed and exclaimed, “Murong Qinghe, so you were here after all. Men, arrest her!”

King Jin’s soldiers rushed at Murong Qinghe.

Murong Qinghe had a grave expression. She was already prepared for death. Her spear manifested the bleak killing intent of the battlefield, fending off the surrounding soldiers one by one.

As he watched her slender yet valiant figure, Elder Chen couldn't help but nod slightly. He remarked, “As expected of the fierce daughter of a distinguished clan. If not for what happened, she would have become a powerful general on the battlefield. What a pity.”

When he saw that his subordinates actually couldn't handle one young lady, King Jin’s expression turned extremely ugly. When he heard that, he said with a snort, “Elder Chen, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Elder Chen frowned slightly when he heard that. It really was a bit humiliating for him to act against a junior. Even so, he couldn't refuse the order of a king, and the activity here would likely startle the other clans in this street. He already sensed several auras creeping over from a distance. If this continued for a long time, there was some potential for unexpected things to happen. As such, he took a step forward and said, “Young lady, please don’t treat this as the strong bullying the weak. If you can receive a single strike from me, we will turn away and leave today, and not disturb you anymore.”

King Jin frowned. He was a bit dissatisfied with the elder acting on his own, but thinking back, Elder Chen was a master rank cultivator. There were so many ranks of difference between them, so it wouldn’t be a problem.

How could Murong Qinghe not know that fact? However, with the way things were, she couldn't refuse either. She replied, “Fine!” She held the spear in one hand and pointed it diagonally at the elder. Her left hand formed a mysterious seal, and she stood there like a quietly flowing river.

Elder Chen nodded. This young woman was quite talented. If she had been allowed to grow up normally, she would probably have been able to reach the level of master rank. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t have a chance anymore. With that thought flashing through his mind, his palm struck outward. A giant hand appeared out of thin air and struck straight at Murong Qinghe. Wherever the palm went, rocks and silt flew in all directions, blowing into the faces of anyone nearby as even the air distorted. Those present were horrified. The power of a master rank cultivator was terrifying, as expected!

Murong Qinghe felt as if breathing had become difficult, and was filled with despair. The difference was just too great. Not even everything she had could possibly stop the attack.

Suddenly, a steady voice said in her ear, “Don’t be scared. Thrust your spear at him.”

For some reason, when she heard that familiar voice, Murong Qinghe’s panicked heart completely calmed down. She took a deep breath, then used her Murong clan’s heart method. At the same time, she used the most powerful move she could unleash with her spear.

Just then, vast and overwhelming power flowed into her through her back. She felt the ki within her surging powerfully. In that instant, she felt as if she could have a showdown against even the most powerful beings of this world!

With a shout, she thrust her spear forward. When it first moved, it seemed ordinary, but suddenly, vicious radiance fired out from the tip of the spear. It was a spearhead condensed out of ki! The spearhead clashed with that giant palm, instantly piercing through the projection. The giant palm gradually dissipated as its energy leaked out.

However, the vicious radiance didn’t stop at all. It continued to thrust forward like a shooting star.

“Ahhhh!!!”

A miserable scream tore through the air. Then, Elder Chen clutched his bleeding palm.

King Jin Manor’s people were stupefied. They had thought that they would see Elder Chen easily subdue that young lady, and even wondered if she would be smashed into a b.l.o.o.d.y paste. After all, Murong Qinghe was quite pretty. How could they have expected that the one dripping with blood would actually be Elder Chen?

Elder Chen’s expression was full of shock and confusion. He looked at the figure behind Murong Qinghe.

Murong Qinghe turned around and saw Zu An. Even her tanned skin became a bit red as she exclaimed, “Big brother Zu!”

It was all thanks to him arriving at the perfect time and supporting her. In that instant, she seemed to have completely allowed him to merge with her. That kind of feeling really made her want to continue.

Chu Youzhao jumped into his arms with surprise and happiness, exclaiming, “Brother-in-law!”

When he saw the blood at the corner of her lips and the casualties around the courtyard, Zu An scowled.

King Jin recognized him and said, “You’ve come back at the perfect time. Men, arrest them all!”

He naturally didn’t need to fear anything. There was no one he didn’t dare to offend in the capital.

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d Zu wouldn’t dare to kill this king, right?
