Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 172 Falling Like Rain

"It's really the right thing for Chaozhong to come this time."

On the top of the building, Qinghua stood in front of the railing, supporting his chin with his left hand, gazing at the palace that was ablaze with interest. Then, looking down, what came into his sight was the fighting imperial guards.

The imperial guards stationed in front of the hall were defeated one after another. The battle in the academy had seriously damaged the Second Prince's strength. In a head-on battle, they were no match for the Third Prince who was well-rested. It was only a matter of time before the rebels broke into the hall.

Qinghua was not at all panicked. The rebellion launched by the third prince was indeed beyond his and the company's expectations, because in their opinion, the third prince had always been a wise man.

A wise person may have the urge to rebel, but he will never engage in meaningless resistance.

For the third prince who started the rebellion, this was a situation of certain death.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such a scene.

With a deafening roar of killing, he raised the sword in his hand and pointed it towards the sky.

The last rebellion dates back hundreds of years.

"I found out that it was the elemental creatures from the Deep Sea Star who did this. I didn't expect that he could tap into the potential of this creature."

Soon, Cai Hui climbed to the rooftop, stepping on the mutilated corpses on the ground.

Not long ago, the company's guards revolted. Caught off guard, more than half of the low-level guards were killed or wounded in the crossfire, and the area was littered with broken limbs and arms that had been blown away by thermal weapons.

She originally thought that this was some kind of mind-controlling technique, but after careful investigation, she discovered that many guards in the team had been replaced at some point, and the disguised guards would turn into a pool of black liquid after death, which was exactly the same as the Black Sea of ​​the Deep Sea Star.

Cai Hui immediately took samples and sent them back to the flagship for testing. The results confirmed her guess. She then checked the company's records and confirmed again and again that the subjects given to the third prince were indeed experimental subjects captured from the deep-sea star. Even the company had failed to tap the potential of these experimental subjects and identified them as weak creatures of no value.

But now, the third prince used this elemental creature to replace the company's guards without anyone noticing and launched a surprise attack on them.

This is astonishing enough for livestock kept in pig sties.

However, the third prince's efforts only ended there.

"Teacher, please return to the flagship immediately. I will leave this to Long Branch."

"It's rare that the Third Prince has prepared such a performance for us. Wouldn't it be a waste of his kindness if we go back now?"

The last guard of the hall also fell in a pool of blood. Amid the crowd, a familiar figure appeared in Qinghua's sight.

Under the tower, the third prince was also looking up at him.

Qinghua felt that such a situation had occurred before on this planet.

Hundreds of years ago, the third prince's father also looked up to the sky in the same way.

"In this case, it can be considered a strange fate."

It’s a pity that compared with the last war, the rebels today are too weak, and the third prince doesn’t even have a decent sword in his hand.

How helpless.

The company is getting stronger every moment, and its strength is built on the offerings of countless blue star-like planets.

What responded to Qinghua were cold drops of water. The unexpected rain fell on his body, bringing a chill that penetrated deep into his soul.

He opened his palms and caught the increasingly dense black raindrops.

The rain poured down in torrents, dyeing everything in sight black. The magnificent palace was swallowed up by the rain, and the blue and white porcelain was also stepped into the dark tide along with the melting objects.

"It's a barrier."

Cai Hui reminded her. She was quite shocked by this discovery—an elemental creature born on the deep sea star could actually use the power of this planet.

If she had not been in the enemy's position, she would have many questions that needed the Third Prince to answer.

This was no ordinary barrier, its scope was enough to cover the entire court, making the entire world look like nothing but endless sea water, and each of them became a lone boat drifting on the Black Sea.

Something was approaching.

It was moving very fast, just beneath the black wave.

Faced with the ferocious creature biting at him, Qinghua did not dodge or evade. Instead, he opened his arms and let the waves splash over him. The trembling of his soul made him feel comfortable all over, and all his sleepiness was swept away.

"Yingtian, I have also carefully prepared a gift for you."

The body of the giant underwater overlapped with Qinghua's figure. The next moment, countless cracks appeared in the dark world, and then it shattered like glass.

The figure next to the third prince was severely injured and suddenly fell to his knees.

Its entire body was melting, and it turned into black drops of water and dissolved into the ground.

The illusion was shattered, and Qinghua stood on the tower again.

Standing between them was a dark golden figure, covered in armor. Just a glance from him was enough to make one's hands and feet go cold and unable to move.

All the strange and weird magic was suppressed at this moment, and the faces of the death-ready warriors showed expressions of fear - their magic recognized this armor, which created the fear of the inferiors towards the superiors.

Although they had never seen this set of armor before, they recognized the long sword tied around the waist of the dark golden armor.

The scabbard was bordered with gold and carved with a lifelike dragon.

"Walk."

The Third Prince looked straight ahead and whispered, "You have done enough. Go to the Princess."

The figure that completely turned into black water melted, but this time, it refused the order of the third prince.

An ink spot appeared behind the dark gold armor, and the gushing water gathered into a human shape. The vine-like limbs entangled the armor, intending to drag it into the ink circle.

The armor didn't draw his sword, and didn't even bother to turn around.

Countless cracks appeared in the space behind him again. The black vines that were tearing at his armor lost their strength, and as the broken fragments fell to the ground, they finally disappeared without a trace.

"'Black Steel', that's its name. Logically, you are not qualified to see it."

"伱——!"

The crowd started cursing, but before he could finish his words, the fierce hurricane engulfed him.

Heigang raised his left hand, and the black blade that fell from the sky moved around in the crowd before stopping in front of him. The black sword was more than three meters long, much taller than the armor.

The sword wind dissipated, and there was no sound from the rebel army. Only the third prince was left standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with no intact body left beside him.

The third prince just stood there.

This was an expected result. He also saw another man in armor below the hall. The armored man was carrying the unconscious Red Star Chamber of Commerce envoy in his hands, and his eyes did not linger on him for even a second.

"You hid them well, but nothing on this planet can escape the company's eyes. As a recognition of your courage, let your 'father' personally send you off."
