1187 Tingyu Floors Will (1/2)

Chapter 1187 – Tingyu Floor's Will

The guard that shot the arrow from outside the hall did not even have time to resist before the surrounding guards took him down. Without a doubt, this was a chess piece that the Shanhai Guards buried in the Great Han palace.

Let us move back into the palace.

Within the blink of an eye, Jianqi Leiyin had charged to the front of the two eunuchs, and the Chengying Sword flashed through the air. Before the two of them could react, their throats were slashed by the formless sword, and they died on the spot.

As the world's best assassin, she was famous for the quickness of her sword.

Along with a God Weapon like the Chengying Sword, she killed people easily.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere.

Hanwu Emperor, who had been sitting there calmly, let out an astonished expression. He exclaimed, ”Protect me! Quick, protect me!”

When the guards heard that, they immediately turned around, only to see the two eunuchs fall to the ground and fresh blood flowed out. They saw the player, who was protecting the emperor, had her right hand in a sword wielding stance as she charged at the emperor.

”Damn it, we fell for it!”

The guards were not fools, and they realized that this was a carefully planned assassination. They did not even hesitate and charged right at Jianqi Leiyin.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Jianqi Leiyin was really decisive. Knowing that the chance would slip away, after killing the two eunuchs, she did not stop. Instead, she stepped forward. She instantly appeared in front of Hanwu Emperor and stabbed out with the Chengying Sword.

With just one sword, she accurately pierced the heart of the emperor.

Jianqi Leiyin used her primordial energy, and the Chengying Sword shook and directly ripped Hanwu Emperor to shreds.

The pride of an era fell just like that.

In such a short while, the five guards had arrived before her, blocking all road she had out. At the door of the hall, hundreds of guards swarmed in like a flood, looking to capture the assassin.

Jianqi Leiyin did not hesitate, nor did she turn her head around. She turned the Chengying Sword and blocked behind her back, blocking all the swords. Following which, she stooped down, and the Chengying Sword shone with a cold light once more.

'Huadang! Huadang!'

The guards were all top-class elites. However, in front of a God Weapon that was enhanced with internal strength, they were like bamboo and were cut into pieces.

Seeing that, even the calm guards were stunned. Furthermore, Jianqi Leiyin turned around and revealed Hanwu Emperor at the throne. He laid limp on the ground, his chest bloody, not making a sound.

When the guards saw that, their hearts turned cold. Some of their faces turned ashen white. Once the emperor died, the fate that awaited them was set.

Seeing that, one of the guards walked up to check the injuries of the emperor. The remaining ones charged right at Jianqi Leiyin. Only by capturing the assassin could they make up for their sins.

If not, as guards, it would not be enough even if they died 100 times.

Jianqi Leiyin took a glance at the hall. Looking out, it was totally covered by guards, so charging out was impossible. Moreover, the moment she entered a chaotic battle, it would only draw in more guards.

Abruptly, Jianqi Leiyin turned around. After pushing back the guards, she moved toward the left of the throne. There was the tunnel the emperor took to get to the court and could lead outside of the hall.

At this very moment, the guard checking the injury of the emperor let out a tragic exclamation, ”The Emperor has died; quick, capture the assassin!”

The moment these words were said, the entire hall fell into total silence. The hearts of every guard there could not help but stop, and some of their legs turned soft.

”Capture the assassin; do not let her run!”

Only then did the Guards react and lead the chase toward Jianqi Leiyin.

The entire hall was in chaos.

Jianqi Leiyin barged through the left tunnel. She did not even think about exiting the hall from here. An architectural building group like the palace had a lot of empty squares between halls, and if she went out, she would only become a moving target.

Instead, she turned around and entered a side room at the right, hiding there. As long as she got through the chase at the beginning, once the news of the emperor dying spread out, Luoyang City would be in chaos.

When that happened, it would be the best chance for her to escape.

...

Very quickly, the news of Hanwu Emperor dying wrapped up Luoyang City like a whirlwind. It made the unstable city almost collapse.

If it was during a normal time and the emperor died, there would naturally be a prince to take over his place. If they did things appropriately, things would not get out of hand.

However, what time was it?

Great Xia had already attacked Luoyang City for half a month and could take over really quickly.

At such a juncture, Hanwu Emperor who was the heart of Great Han was suddenly assassinated. Many experienced officials and generals all stood stunned at the spot as other ideas filled their heads.

The Han army unavoidably started to waver.
