It was not just because Lao Ai was so bold and presumptuous to launch a rebellion, but the more important thing was that the other party was using the banner of his mother, Queen Zhao Ji!

Ying Zheng clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming coldly.

"Your Majesty, Lao Ai would launch a rebellion ahead of time. I'm afraid he has already noticed something, or even someone has tipped him off. Now the palace is no longer safe."

Gai Nie stood beside Ying Zheng, holding the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"He's right. Even among the imperial guards guarding Zhangtai Palace, there are rebels. They are heading this way now."

Xuan Jian stood on the wall, holding two swords in his hands, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance. A group of guards were rushing towards this side without any orders. Obviously, something was wrong.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he became even more furious.

To be honest, Lao Ai's reaction speed was beyond his expectations. The rebellion came too suddenly!

However, there were Lao Ai's men among his royal guards. Only then did Ying Zheng realize that he had underestimated Lao Ai before.

With the help of Zhao Ji, Lao Ai was able to win over so many people in such a short time, and even got them involved in his palace guards.

However, although Ying Zheng was angry, he was not worried.

At this moment, the back garden is guarded by the absolutely loyal Shadow Guards. As his personal guards, their combat effectiveness is naturally no worse than those of the palace guards. The commander of the Shadow Guards is even a master of the innate level.

In addition to them, there is also Guiguzi's disciple Gai Nie and Luowang's former top-notch killer Xuan Jian.

Just a few palace guards could not threaten his safety.

However, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Ying Zheng did not think of taking risks, so he headed towards another palace gate under the protection of Gai Nie and others.

When Wei Weijie and hundreds of imperial guards arrived at the back garden, they found it deserted and his face immediately turned ugly.

"They must not have gone far, chase them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man holding two swords blocked their way.

Then, more than a dozen Shadow Guards appeared on the surrounding high walls.

"I'm afraid you can't catch up."

Xuan Jian raised the black sword and pointed it at Wei Weijie, with murderous intent in his eyes not concealed at all.

It was impossible for Ying Zheng to escape in disgrace and do nothing. He left Xuan Jian and some Shadow Guards behind to teach the traitors a profound lesson.

When he saw Xuan Jian, although Wei Weijie did not recognize him, he recognized the sword in his hand and suddenly felt as if his soul was scared to death.

How come Xuan Jian appears here?

However, when he saw the hundreds of guards behind him, Wei Weijie mustered up his courage again.

"These people are thieves who broke into the palace and intended to threaten the king's safety. Follow me and capture them!"

Hearing this, Xuan Jian laughed disdainfully.

"What a thief crying thief!"

He lightly stepped on the ground and quickly rushed towards the group of guards.

At the same time, members of the Shadow Secret Guard also took action.

A melee breaks out.

The Black and White Xuan Jian is one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue and is extremely sharp. The armors worn by these guards are as sharp as paper in front of it.

The members of the Shadow Secret Guard all held bronze swords that had been tempered by Bai Yuan, with attributes such as [Armor-Piercing Fangs], and were equally sharp.

Although they were not at an advantage in numbers, they were able to suppress the royal guards with their weapons.

Xuan Jian was like a man in an empty space. Every time he swung his swords, he would take someone's life.

There was a strong murderous aura emanating from his body that was almost condensed into substance. The murderous aura and sword energy merged together, as if he had just come out of hell.

The palace guards around him were shaking in their weapons and kept retreating backwards.

On the other side, in the residence of the Prime Minister of Qin, Lu Buwei also received the news that Lao Ai had launched a rebellion and was pacing in the residence.

It was he who recommended Lao Ai to Zhao Ji, and it was closely related to his being able to hold such great power today.

He also knew that this man had some ulterior motives. Ever since he hooked up with Zhao Ji, Lao Ai had taken away some of Luowang's power from him.

Lu Buwei knew that he was planning to cause trouble this time, but he did not interfere. Instead, he planned to use Ying Zheng to get rid of him.

But who could have thought that Lao Ai was so brainless and dared to lead people in rebellion.

You must know that although Lu Buwei was greedy for power, he never thought of rebelling, because he knew that rebellion was a dead end and would never succeed.

Therefore, what he did was just to secretly promote the alliance of the six countries, and then come out to turn the tide and demonstrate his own value. By then, with his great contributions, even if Ying Zheng took power personally, he could not do anything to him, the hero who saved the empire from collapse.

But now his plan to save the country has not yet been implemented, and he is afraid that he will be implicated and killed by Lao Ai.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. Zhen Gang, you must bring people to rescue me immediately!"

Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment, then immediately gave orders to the six sword slaves.

But who knew that after calling for a long time, there was no sign of the Six Sword Slaves.

Then he finally realized that something was wrong.

A Luowang killer with a scar on his face came in from the door.

"Master Xiangguo, Master Zhen Gang and his men have received their mission and are out. It is dangerous outside now, so please rest assured in your house."

Hearing this, Lu Buwei had no idea what was going on and took two steps back.

The Six Sword Slaves acted on their own without his orders, which meant that Luowang might have changed its owner!

Chapter 284: Insufficient Firepower, Sword Qi Washes the Ground

After thinking everything through, Lu Buwei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I didn't expect that! I have been running Luowang for so many years, but I am still not as good as a fool!"

He recalled how he had been ordered by the previous king to take charge of Luowang and had worked hard to manage it.

Although he never completely controlled Luowang because of the power sharing between him and Zhao Ji, he believed that he had at least grasped some of the power and turned them from Luowang's weapons into his own weapons.

But who could have thought that all this was just his wishful thinking, and even the six sword slaves he had trained betrayed him without hesitation.

For a moment, Lu Buwei felt only a darkness before his eyes.

He could already foresee his own end.

The end of the web can also be predicted.

On both sides, the Six Sword Slaves received an order from the new master of Luowang and rushed to Zhangtai Palace with a group of assassins, ready to kill Ying Zheng.

As soon as Ying Zheng walked out of the east gate under the protection of Gai Nie and Ying Miwei, he ran into the six sword slaves who came to kill him.

"My king, be careful! They are the Six Sword Slaves of Luowang!"

Gai Nie protected Ying Zheng and drew his sword, his whole body full of momentum.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. He knew very well that the Six Sword Slaves were under the control of Lu Buwei. They appeared here at this moment. Are they enemies or friends?

"According to the order of the Prime Minister, kill the thief who is holding the king hostage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Zheng and others immediately realized that the Six Sword Slaves were enemies, not friends.

"Protect the King!"

Gai Nie gave a light shout, and the members of the Shadow Secret Guard formed a formation and fought against a group of Luowang assassins.

The leader of the Shadow Secret Guard also sent out a signal, asking for help.

Gai Nie himself kept staring at the six sword slaves, and his hands holding the long sword were sweating because of nervousness.

If he was only facing one of the six sword slaves, Gai Nie still had confidence, but facing six of them at the same time, he knew that he was definitely no match for them.

Compared to Gai Nie, the Six Sword Slaves seemed much more casual, especially Wuliang and Luanshen, who had a playful smile on their faces.

Zhen Gang stepped heavily on the ground and took the lead in attacking Gai Nie.

Gai Nie raised his sword to block, and when the two swords collided, he immediately felt a huge force coming, and his feet sank.

Then two iron chains were wrapped around him from both sides. It was Zhuanpo and Miehun who took action, which made it impossible for Gai Nie to draw his sword and retreat.

While he was being controlled, Luanshen had already arrived at Gai Nie's side and stabbed Gai Nie's throat with a sword.

Gai Nie was shocked, but there was no escape.

At this time, a chain flew from behind him and stabbed towards the God of Chaos, entangling the Sword of the God of Chaos, making it unable to move forward at all.

It turned out that a shadow guard holding a chain sword helped Gai Nie resolve the crisis.

But the next moment, a tattered-looking sword suddenly burst out of his chest.

It turned out that Duan Shui, who was the "hermit" in Luowang, appeared behind him at some point and dealt him a fatal blow.

Fortunately, Gai Nie had taken this opportunity to repel Zheng Gang and at the same time released the restraints of Soul Transformation and Soul Destruction.

But just from that brief fight, he knew he couldn't hold on for long.

Seeing that the situation was almost one-sided and the number of Shadow Secret Guard members around him was decreasing, Ying Zheng even regretted not letting Xuan Jian follow.

Now we can only hope that support will arrive soon.

Zhengang and others launched a second wave of attack on Gai Nie.

At this moment, a large amount of golden mist suddenly appeared in the field, causing everyone present to stop.

The six sword slaves felt a hint of threat and immediately swung their swords to distance themselves.

However, some of the Luowang killers did not have such keen perception and reaction speed. When they were hit by the Dragon's Qi, their internal organs were instantly severely injured and they vomited blood and died.

The situation reversed instantly.

The Six Sword Slaves looked at Yan Fei who suddenly appeared on the scene to rescue Ying Zheng and others, and the expressions of Yue Shen and others changed slightly.

They didn't expect that the support from the Yin-Yang family would come so quickly.

"Six Sword Slaves, it looks like we should be able to capture all the remaining top-level assassins of Luowang in one fell swoop."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

The six sword slaves turned around and saw that Bai Yuan and Hei Bai had appeared not far behind them at some point.

"Damn it! We didn't even notice anyone approaching."

"withdraw!"

Zhen Gang was extremely decisive. When Bai Yuan and others appeared, he knew that he had missed the opportunity to capture Ying Zheng.

As a killer, of course, if he fails to hit the target in one strike, he will flee thousands of miles away.

"Want to run? It's too late!"

Bai Yuan took out the Peach Blossom Sword and flicked his finger. The peach blossom flew into the air, blocking their retreat.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen attacked at the same time, using the dragon's energy to cooperate with Bai Yuan, trying to trap the six people.

Faced with this formless and invisible dragon energy, Zheng Gang and others also found it very difficult to deal with and could only keep swinging their swords to disperse it.

However, this is only a temporary solution, and the dragon's energy seems to be endless.

At the critical moment, the oldest Duan Shui stood up, gently touched the Duan Shui sword that looked like it would shatter at any time, then shouted softly and swung out a ray of azure sword energy.

"One sword cuts the water!"

Wherever the azure sword energy passed, it seemed to create a vacuum area, temporarily isolating the dragon-swimming energy of Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

Zhengang and others seized this opportunity and escaped from the encirclement of the dragon's aura by using the field created by cutting off the water.

But at this moment, several sharp sword energies attacked them.

The six people reacted quickly and hid in various directions.

But this was exactly what Bai Yuan wanted. He had just controlled the sword energy emitted by the [Remote Control Flying Sword] in order to separate the six sword slaves and make it easier for them to defeat them one by one.

Hei, Bai and the eldest son of Yin Yang Family, Siming, seized this opportunity and went after Zhuanpo Mihun, Wangliang and Luanshen respectively.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen took the opportunity to use the Dragon's Qi to divide the battlefield, making it impossible for the six sword slaves to support and cooperate with each other.

"I told you that you couldn't leave."

Bai Yuan was holding an ordinary-looking long sword, with a peach blossom sword around him, and was planning to fight Zhen Gang and Duan Shui alone.

Zhen Gangduan Shui and the other man looked at each other and realized that they could not escape, so they decided to fight to the death.
