Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 108 The sword is coming!

Zhao Ruoxi's hand holding the sword trembled violently.

As the other party said, even though he knew that it was his father who had pushed Jingyu into this situation.
It was also his deliberate indulgence that led to Jingheng and the others being sent to the guillotine one by one.
All of this was solely for the purpose of enabling himself to step forward in times of crisis, turn the tide, and win over the hearts and minds of the people.

In this way, she could naturally become the second female emperor in the history of Qin Lu!

But what can I do?
Now that things have come to this, just because the crown of "Empress" was obtained dishonorably, even by stepping over the corpses of her father and brothers, does that mean she can simply discard it?

Zhao Ruoxi had never felt such a profound sense of powerlessness as she was now.

An Qing and Yun Ci joined the battle, but the situation did not improve at all.

Despite their best efforts, the two were unable to break through the earthen-yellow protective aura surrounding the other's body.

The three thousand armored soldiers who accompanied them were even worse off. Their dark spears were twisted and deformed when they were stuck into the light screen, and they couldn't even tickle the enemy.

"You thief, take your men and block the exit."
The officials shouldn't leave yet; they might come in very useful!

An Qing was puzzled, but ultimately did not ask any further questions and led the group away as instructed.

Unfortunately, Master disappeared without a trace after entering the city. If he were here, would this old tortoise be allowed to act so recklessly?

"You go too!" Xu Jinhuan shouted to Yun Ci.

"Little Lord!"

"Listen to me, I have my own way of doing things, don't get in my way!"

Yun Ci's eyes reddened, she gritted her teeth, and turned to leave without looking back.

She knew in her heart that, having only just begun to open her sea of ​​consciousness, staying here would probably only be a burden to the young master.
Seeing everyone leave, a great sun appeared behind Xu Jinhuan, his hands burning hot like red-hot iron, causing the old tortoise's huge mouth to emit green smoke, yet it still refused to let go.

Upon seeing Chen Xinghe and the others in the crowd, he suddenly remembered the backup plan he had prepared in advance to prevent his brother-in-law from being unreliable.
The sword energy Shen Ye left in his sea of ​​consciousness can be used once more.
To kill this old turtle with maxed-out defense in one blow, I need another chance!
"That sounds nice. Everything is for the sake of the Great Yan."

Stop trying to confuse things!

Xu Jinhuan made another sarcastic remark.

"You are the one who has caused continuous disasters and widespread suffering in various places!"

The so-called saving of the Great Yan Dynasty is nothing more than cleaning up your mess!
Ruoxi, you need to think this through. Someone as ruthless and cruel as your father-in-law, would you truly be willing to let him lose the throne?

"Once you accept this dragon energy, will the consciousness within this body truly still be your own?!"

"Shut up! Where is the Imperial Advisor?!"

Zhao Wuji had lost his patience and suddenly waved his hand.

With a loud bang in mid-air, the barrier formed by the Kyoto Grand Array shattered instantly!
Wu Yao fell heavily to the ground like trash, half of her body shattered into ice shards, her fate unknown.

Gu Niaoniao, who was in mid-air, was suddenly enveloped in a golden light as two sharp fangs were forced out of her body from her neck, causing blood to gush out instantly.

With a flash of golden light, she was already in front of Zhao Wuji.

Xu Jinhuan could even see streaks of dark toxins rapidly coursing through her body along her meridians.

He was so angry he could have punched a nerve.
Zhao Wuji's mere words were enough to make her risk ingesting demonic energy and suffering severe injuries in order to rush over immediately!

Even if you've solemnly promised to get everything back on track.

On the question of whether or not to follow Zhao Wuji's instructions, this foolish woman never yielded an inch from beginning to end.

This is her absolute obedience to her master's orders!

Without a doubt, the person who planted the inviolable principle in Gu Niaoniao's mind could only be Lu Yuan!
Black blood oozed from Gu Niaoniao's mouth and nose, and her aura continued to decline.

Zhao Wuji seemed completely unconcerned, pointing at Zhao Ruoxi and coldly saying, "Restrain her for me!"

Gu Niaoniao landed on the ground suddenly, seemingly finding it difficult to even maintain her levitation.

Looking at Zhao Ruoxi not far in front of her, she walked over slowly but firmly, her face expressionless.

On the ground, Wu Yao, who seemed to have died, suddenly opened her eyes.

Taking advantage of the opening, it instantly burrowed underground and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

The old tortoise in front of Xu Jinhuan seemed to have its enormous, foul-smelling mouth slightly raised in a strange arc.

As Wu Yao left, Xu Jinhuan clearly felt that the protective aura around her body was weakening.

It's now!

With all his might, Xu Jinhuan leaped backward.

"Xiao Qing, lend me a hand!"

While suspended in mid-air, his consciousness expanded infinitely, almost covering half of Kyoto.

At the spot where Chen Xinghe and others had previously set up their stall, several green swords from the Hidden Sword Manor were still humming and vibrating on the carriages.

"Niao Niao, step back!"

Xu Jinhuan pointed one finger to the sky, and at that moment, everyone in the square involuntarily raised their heads.

It seems to be getting dark.

"I've wanted to use this move for a long time."

Before meeting Zhou Jin, he had hardly encountered any worthy opponents.

So much so that he himself had almost forgotten this innate divine ability that had never reappeared since Lu Yuan—

The sword's heart is clear!

In Kyoto, countless longswords flew into the air, converging into a vast ocean, vying to fly towards the Qiyun Altar.

Cover the sky.

Xu Jinhuan's eyes gleamed, and a blue dragon rose from behind him, soaring straight into the sky.

"Here comes the sword!"

The Azure Dragon disappeared into the waves.

The next moment, a rain of swords began to fall from the sky.

Each sharp blade, shrouded in a hazy blue sword aura, tore through the air and fell rapidly!
An obstacle made of rain of swords was firmly rooted in the ground, separating Gu Niaoniao and Zhao Ruoxi by just a few steps.

On the other side, the earthen-yellow halo around the Xuan Turtle shattered under the seemingly endless, frenzied attacks.

On that wrinkled turtle-like face, the crimson in its eyes had faded, replaced once again by an overwhelming sense of panic.

This time, however, it had nowhere to escape.

It could only helplessly endure the endless rain of swords tearing apart its moss-covered shell and piercing the flesh hidden within.

The old tortoise let out a reluctant whimper, and in an instant, it was completely swallowed up by the rain of swords.

Chen Xinghe and the others stared in disbelief at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

They would never have imagined that the thousands of swords they brought could be used in this way.
"General An, I am short-sighted and have never seen much of the world. Such methods are those of a legendary supreme expert, aren't they?"

Xu Xinnian glanced at General An beside him and realized that the other man was also completely astonished, as if he hadn't heard a word Xu Xinnian said. The sword rain also didn't spare Zhao Wuji, who was still in mid-air.

Unfortunately, since the opponent did not possess a physical form, all the longswords merely passed through that golden figure without causing any damage.

"Imperial Advisor, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"

As the last longsword fell to the ground, the ground of the Qiyun Altar Prayer Square was riddled with holes.

The golden statue, along with the statue itself, had long since been blasted into dust.

Zhao Wuji, however, showed no fear.

Even though he was seriously injured, the Imperial Advisor alone could still be worth more than a thousand troops present!

They can't cause any trouble!

Upon hearing this, Gu Niaoniao stepped onto the sword blade in front of her, intending to pass through the barrier.

Xu Jinhuan suddenly rushed in front of her and grabbed her shoulder.

"Wake up! Niao Niao. He is no longer the emperor of Great Yan!"

Gu Niaoniao looked distressed, and the rampant demonic energy within her made her lips appear slightly pale.

Her lifeless eyes looked at Xu Jinhuan, and she spoke with difficulty:
"But Xu Jinhuan is currently in the Great Yan, which has no emperor."
He...he didn't tell me to hurt Xiaoqi. He just restrained her, it's okay.

"Who says there's no emperor!"

Xu Jinhuan abruptly turned his head, looking at the civil and military officials and three thousand armored soldiers not far away:

"The late emperor has passed away. Ning Qian, who plotted to usurp the throne, has already been executed!"

Princess Ruoxi fought bloody battles in the Western Frontier. Upon returning to the capital, she personally slew the Ning traitor and, in front of the mob, vowed to protect everyone to the death!
An Qing! Lord Xu!

Xu asks the Zhao family today, besides Your Highness, is there anyone else qualified to claim the title of Emperor?

An Qing reacted instantly, raising her right arm first and shouting loudly:

"Please, Your Highness Ruoxi, ascend the throne!"

Behind him, three thousand armored soldiers raised their arms in unison:
"Please, Your Highness Ruoxi, ascend the throne!!!"

Zhao Wuji saw through the thief's plan, but remained calm.

He sneered and looked at the gray-haired old man among the officials.

Based on his understanding of Xu Xinnian, there was no reason why he wouldn't know how to choose between himself and that young girl!

Hearing the thunderous shouts behind him, Xu Xinnian stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

He knew that the officials were waiting for him to speak out because they were waiting for him to make his decision.

Your Majesty, you personally entrusted this old minister with these instructions, how could I possibly disappoint you?

"Your Majesty, I, Xu Xinnian, request that Your Highness Ruoxi ascend the throne!"

Behind them, Chang Wei, Zhang Longxing, and the others did not hesitate any longer and quickly chimed in to agree!
The shouts in the Qiyun Altar were deafening!
The tens of thousands of people who had just evacuated from the nearby area all heard this call.

Subconsciously, the stubborn figure who, through word of mouth, single-handedly blocked the way outside Qu County overlapped with the person who had just ordered the Imperial Guards to lead everyone to retreat immediately in the square.

They couldn't help but shout along with the people on the other side of the wall:
"Please, Your Highness Ruoxi, ascend the throne!!!"

At this moment, boundless dragon energy converged on Zhao Ruoxi from all directions.

The Yuxiao sword in his hand trembled and let out a loud dragon roar!

"Xu Xinnian! You!"

Zhao Wuji was shocked to find that the dragon energy within his body was suddenly beginning to dissipate rapidly, and for a moment, he could barely maintain his physical form!

Zhao Ruoxi looked at her father's figure, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She knew what she had to do.

call.
"Having received the Mandate of Heaven and the support of you all, Ruoxi dares not disobey!"

She suddenly swung her longsword and said, word by word:

"At this turbulent time, we must reform and innovate."
Although I am a woman, I have lofty ambitions!

Effective immediately, the reign title is changed to 'Jinghe'.

Having said that, she looked at the group of foreign envoys again and said in a deep voice:
"This is hereby proclaimed to all of you, so that all may know!"

Without turning around, Xu Jinhuan could already sense that the aura of the person behind him was rapidly increasing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

He smiled and looked at Gu Niaoniao in front of him, and said softly:

"See, I told you I'd get everything back on track."

The conflicted look on Gu Niaoniao's face disappeared, and her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Mmm," she nodded with a smile.

"Where is the Imperial Advisor?!"

Xu Jinhuan stepped aside.

At this moment, Zhao Ruoxi in front of him was so dignified that he found it difficult to look directly at her.

Recalling every detail of his journey from Jiangzhou to the present, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Having gone through so much, this former princess has finally grown up completely.

From now on, I'm afraid I won't need to protect her anymore.
"Imperial Preceptor, there is an evil spirit there impersonating the late emperor."
"Get rid of him for me."

"Don't come any closer! Imperial Advisor, I am the true Son of Heaven! You cannot harm me!"

Lu Yuan instructed you, "When the Zhao family members are fighting amongst themselves, you must not interfere!"

Gu Niaoniao flew into the air and faced the golden light and shadow that was trying to disappear into the void again.

She stretched out her palm, her divine sense merging with the grand formation of Kyoto:
“You are merely a soul, without any bloodline. You cannot be considered to be fighting among your own kind.”

Boom——!
A bolt of purple lightning as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the light and shadow.

A venomous wail echoed from within the purple lightning, and a dark gray phantom was instantly destroyed.

Only pure golden dragon energy remained, dissipating and converging towards its true master.

Deep underground, Zhuang Yuning, who had just absorbed the power of the demon core, was suddenly awakened by a violent tremor above her head.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a burly man with a stubble beard and messy hair!
"who!"

Shh—it's one of us.

Zhou Jin grinned and pointed behind him.

"Little one, don't be afraid, I have a big gift for you!"
