2735. The Rebellion in the Capital (Part Four)
"Halt!" The emperor's guard, dressed in a bright red armored robe, shouted, his long blades crossed as he blocked Jing Fang's path.

They held a special long-handled weapon, with an alloy vibrating blade at one end and a high-voltage electric rod at the other. The entire weapon was made of black Frick alloy, with mysterious dark gold patterns engraved on the surface, making it look solemn and dignified, but also exuding a murderous aura.

Jing Fang raised his hands to indicate that he was unarmed, and said with a smile, "Well, as a qualified ground crew member, I should conduct an inspection of your spaceship."

“This is His Majesty the Emperor’s carriage. Take another step forward and you will be killed without mercy,” a member of the Emperor’s personal guard said coldly.

"What I mean is... the power is about to go out." Jing Fang casually spread his hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went dark!

If you were to observe the Majestic Star Destroyer from the outside, you would see that in that instant, all the lights on the warship went out! The warship was immediately enveloped in darkness!
The sudden darkness startled the Emperor's guards. Seizing this moment, Jing Fang suddenly sprang forward, charging forward in an instant and throwing a punch! Bang! One of the Emperor's guards was sent flying by the punch! He crashed heavily into the wall of the shuttle cabin, his helmet shattering and blood splattering everywhere.

The other Imperial Guards reacted immediately. Several of them brandished long-handled blades, their alloy blades vibrating rapidly and releasing intense high-voltage electricity at the other end. Some of the others pulled out T-21 light blaster rifles from their robes and opened fire!
However, Jing Fang's movements were like those of a ghost, impossible to catch. He carried no weapon; his iron fists alone were indestructible! The crimson armor of the emperor's guards, and the long handles forged from Frick alloy, all shattered and bent under his iron fists!
This is the legendary Force martial art—Telas Cash, Iron Hand Technique!

And these imperial guards' nightmare had only just begun when a nearby container suddenly opened, and a burly Gamoman roared out!

This Gamo man was nearly three meters tall, spewing thick smoke and flames from his mouth! He wore incredibly thick metal armor, almost impervious to blades and spears, and charged forward like a tank! The Emperor's guards were instantly thrown into chaos!

……

Meanwhile, on the bridge of the Solemn, the instant darkness descended, Darth Sidious raised his hand and reached out to grab Demetrius Zarin.

However, Marshal Zarin merely took a step back, and Darth Sidious's powerful Force did not have any effect!
A faint energy barrier appeared between them, starkly bright in the completely dark bridge. It was this barrier that blocked Darth Sidious's Force!
“Zarin…it’s you…hehehehe…” Darth Sidious let out a twisted, sickening laugh. In his experience so far, assassinations were the least of his worries.

From his time as a councilor on Naboo, to his role as Speaker of the Republic, and then as Emperor of the Empire, countless people have tried to assassinate him, setting up numerous traps, some ingenious and some brutal, including top-tier experts like Master Yoda.

But the one who survived was still him!
To him, assassination was nothing more than another massacre. Indeed, not only the imminent killing, but also the mass slaughter of all the families and relatives of those involved when he returned to the heart of the empire!

Just like the First Army Governor-General Trakhta, who once plotted to assassinate him!
"Hehehehe... Who told you that I am now severely injured by the Angel of Death and have no strength left to fight? Hehehehe..." Darth Sidious's terrifying laughter echoed in the dark bridge. He threw away his cane and raised his hands, and terrifying Force lightning gradually gathered in his hands.

Lightning danced and flickered in his palm, illuminating his pale, wrinkled, twisted, and ferocious face.

“Of course… I told him.” A deep, spirited female voice came from the side. Arden-Lin walked slowly towards them, pulling out a rubber band as she tied her long, black hair into a ponytail. “Arden-Lin!” Darth Sidious was finally moved. He gritted his teeth and said, “I gave you everything! High office, great wealth, and riches! After the Grand Inquisitor died, I even handed over the leadership of the tribunal to you! And you! You dared to betray me!”

"You betrayed me first!" Arden-Lin shouted angrily. "You had my right hand cut off, and you think that's all? You claimed you could summon Sindor's soul, but you can't do anything! Our agreement was a deception from the very beginning! You used me, harmed me, and yet you expect me to be loyal to you?"

"Hehehehe... Since that's the case, then die! Hahahaha!" Darth Sidious laughed wildly, and Force lightning roared out like a venomous snake, sweeping towards Arden-Lin!

Arden-Lin, however, was not afraid at all. She rushed directly into the sky full of lightning and was instantly surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, and even her figure disappeared without a trace.

However, the next second, a shocking punch was thrown out, shattering the lightning and even distorting the surrounding space in that instant!
Bang! The punch landed squarely on the Force barrier that Darth Sidious had hastily conjured.

Boom! The powerful energy collision created a gust of wind that blew in all directions, scattering almost all the unsecured objects inside the bridge.

Demetrius Zarin had already taken the opportunity to run out of the bridge. Outside the bridge, a large number of soldiers loyal to him had surrounded the area and were engaged in fierce fighting with the Imperial Guard brought by Darth Sidious.

"You will die here today!" Arden-Lin roared, his iron fists pounding Darth Sidious's defenses like heavy hammers.

Her punch was incredibly powerful; when it missed, it slammed into the alloy bulkhead inside the warship, creating a crater nearly two meters in diameter! Even the warship's alloy structure was torn apart!

Not only that, she was incredibly agile, her moves exquisitely precise, giving Darth Sidious no chance to create distance. Empowered by the Force, her physical abilities were enhanced to an unbelievable degree; she moved with lightning speed, each punch leaving afterimages and even creating sonic booms!

Darth Sidious was forced to retreat repeatedly, and his anger continued to rise. Finally, he roared, and terrifying Force gathered around his body, even forming a black hole that was visible to the naked eye!

The terrifying darkness continued to spread, accompanied by an incredibly powerful suction force. Under such power, let alone fighting, even maintaining one's footing was a luxury.

However, Arden-Lin stomped her feet hard with both feet, creating two large craters in the metal ground. Her body remained as stable as a rock in the face of the powerful Force black hole.

Then, facing Darth Sidious, she gathered immense Force power in her dantian and unleashed a furious roar, "Hah!!!"

The sound wave, amplified by the Force, slammed into the enemy, and the heads of the officers and soldiers who hadn't managed to escape from the bridge exploded at the roar.

The next second, she appeared behind Darth Sidious, her mechanical arm instantly enveloped in a beam of energy!
