The aftermath of the explosion spread over a large area, and many people were killed by flying broken trees. Emperor Hui Shuo and Prince Zhao Gou were directly submerged in the sea of fire.
The two high platforms closest to the explosion point were impacted at the moment of the explosion.
On the high platform on the right, Lu Heng's right hand was as fast as lightning, directly tearing a hole in the flames and shock waves. The terrifying impact just passed by both sides of him, shaking the high platform violently, but among them
Lu Heng's expression remained normal and he was not injured at all.
Ichiro Fukuda on the other side was also affected. When a burning wooden pillar as thick as an adult's thigh flew toward him, the two guards around him instantly blocked him, and each drew their swords and chopped the wooden pillar into pieces instantly.
.
But Ichiro Fukuda did not blink his eyelids from beginning to end.
Lu Heng stood up at this time and glanced at Ichiro Fukuda with a smile.
Immediately, he looked at the chaotic crowd below, and finally fixed his gaze on the pale-faced Princess Linyang.
Lin Yang must have been the hardest hit when her father and brother were killed in one shot. She couldn't figure out what was going on, and she didn't know what to do next.
When she noticed Lu Heng's gaze, she subconsciously raised her head to look at him. She saw his half-smiling expression and understood immediately.
"You...you already knew..." Lin Yang pointed out that Lu Heng's hand was shaking violently, and there was shock and extremely strong anger in his eyes.
"Princess Lin Yang acted treasonously and blatantly assassinated the Emperor and the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty in an attempt to destroy the friendship between the Twelve Divine Palaces and the Song Dynasty. This crime cannot be punished!"
Lu Heng's voice resounded throughout the audience, and the people who were in chaos, as well as the monks and imperial guards who were fighting aside, all stopped, as if to see what would happen next.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Heng was as dignified as a god, and he opened his mouth to decide things.
He moved his eyes away from Lin Yang and fell on another person.
This man's face was also pale, and he was sweating profusely as if he had just taken a shower. His eyes were fixed on the sea of fire where Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo and the prince were buried, full of disbelief and unknown fear.
This person is Wang Ming, deputy commander of the Suwei Forbidden Army and general of Dongcheng City Guards.
Originally, with the prince's solicitation, he was supposed to assist him in forcing the palace, but he didn't expect that the incident happened so suddenly. As soon as he started to act, the prince Zhao Gou was killed by a bomb.
This moment made him completely panicked and at a loss.
Lu Heng said to Wang Ming.
"Wang Ming, I now order you to perform meritorious service and capture the criminal Lin Yang, and at the same time, punish those rebellious heretics on the spot!"
Wang Ming was startled and looked at Lu Heng blankly. When he saw those devil-like eyes, he almost knelt down.
Why did he perform meritorious service on behalf of his crime? Did Lu Heng already know that he participated in today's rebellion?
If he really knew it, his whole family and even all the nine tribes would be implicated!
For a moment, Wang Ming's expression began to become uncertain.
At this point, the only way to survive is to surrender to the Imperial Advisor Lu Heng. But before that, he was the helper of the prince's mutiny. Will Lu Heng really let him go after today's incident? Wang Ming is not sure.
Lin Yang, who was on the platform, also noticed Wang Ming's changes and immediately shouted.
"Wang Ming! Don't give in! You command 40,000 imperial guards and control half of the troops in Bianliang City. There is no need to fear Lu Heng. Although my father and brother are dead, I can make the decision. As long as you hold on to the Song Dynasty today,
I will make you the Duke of the country when the imperial court is restored!"
Lin Yang tried her best to stay calm. Although she was panicking, the current situation forced her to calm down.
What has happened cannot be changed, and what needs to be done now is to tie Wang Ming tightly, otherwise she will really lose today.
Hearing this, Wang Ming's face became tangled, his mind was like a mess, he was weighing the pros and cons, and thinking about the possibilities.
"Hahahahaha!"
Lu Heng suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing, a new expression finally appeared on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, and that was teasing!
He mocked, "Prince? Who gave you the right? Is it possible that Her Royal Highness the Princess still wants to imitate Emperor Zetian of the Zhou Dynasty?"
After he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and his gaze shot towards Wang Ming like a cold arrow.
"If you don't take action, you will die first!"
This sentence directly impacted the soul. Wang Ming was suddenly shaken. Fear occupied his heart. Even though he had 40,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal, he always felt that if Lu Heng wanted to kill him, he would definitely kill him.
It's a piece of cake.
He did not hesitate and gave the order immediately.
"Get Princess Linyang! Kill all those heretics! Also, disperse all the people watching!"
In the end, Wang Ming chose to succumb to the Twelve Divine Palaces.
Wang Ming's order was issued, and the imperial guards at the scene took action one after another. Some continued to surround and kill hundreds of monks on the sidelines, and some began to beat and curse the people to drive them away.
…
At this time, the civil and military officials also took different actions.
Some officials loyal to the Song Dynasty had already arrived under the high platform when the explosion occurred, and they were frantically trying to rescue the emperor and the prince.
The other group, accounting for about two-thirds of the hundred officials, did not go to rescue Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, but silently walked to the high platform where Fukuda Ichiro was.
It is impossible for the Twelve Gods Palace to discuss cooperation with the Song Dynasty only on the surface. Behind the scenes, it has already been connected with the court officials. These people have already secretly taken refuge in the Twelve Gods Palace.
…
"kill!"
"Kill!"
The battle between the Suwei imperial army and the monks was fierce. Thousands of people fought against hundreds of people, so they obviously had a sufficient advantage.
The Imperial Guards were so furious that they followed up after those who fell in front of them.
The monks and Taoists were also aroused. They originally used caution in their attacks and tried to inflict serious injuries that could be saved before stopping.
Now facing the siege, some people have begun to cast spells against the enemy. Occasionally there will be flashes of lightning or golden light in the battle formation, and the strange phenomena are accompanied by people screaming one after another.
When Wang Ming gave the order, someone had already rushed to the Xuanshen Platform in an attempt to capture Princess Linyang.
Facing this formation, Lin Yang's expression was extremely ugly, but she did not panic.
Because the next moment, a figure descended from the sky and came to her side. Looking closely, it turned out to be a tall woman in green clothes. Who could it be if it wasn't Xiao Qing?
The moment Xiao Qing landed, no less than a hundred people were already surrounding him, like hungry tigers pouncing on food.
The former's body vibrated with zhenqi, immediately shocking the Imperial Guards within two feet and sending them backwards.
Seizing this moment, Xiao Qing stood still and punched dozens of people around him.
The monks at the Golden Core Realm can injure people from a distance, relying on the fact that the true energy leaves the body. Once these dozens of punches are fired, they are shot out like real flying fists, and they are so powerful that they can beat people if they hit them.
wear!
In just such an instant, all the Imperial Guards on the Xuanshen Platform were knocked out, and Xiao Qing's tall figure stood guard in front of Lin Yang. She had a beautiful appearance, an appraising gaze, and a solid yet elegant boxing stance.
As long as she, Xiaoqing, is here, no one can touch a hair on Princess Linyang!
Subsequently, eight hundred soldiers from the Princess Mansion also rushed to the Xuanshen Platform and blocked the surroundings to protect the master's safety.
Originally, these eight hundred people were prepared to be used as a surprise force and to prevent the deputy commander Wang Ming from temporarily defecting. Now it seems that they have come in handy.
With 40,000 Imperial Guards, 800 soldiers from Princess Linyang's Mansion, two to three hundred monks, plus tens of thousands of civilians who had not had time to evacuate the scene, Bianliang City really exploded today!
A fighting was going on, and before we knew it, heavy snow began to fall in the sky, as if God still disliked that the city was not chaotic enough.
But as soon as the white snowflakes fell on the ground, they were immediately dyed bright red by the blood sprayed out. The ground was like a canvas, dyed with a dense patchwork of manjus and sandalwood.
The sounds of fighting, the clash of swords, the cries of the people being expelled, the sounds of stampedes, and the screams came one after another, as if reflecting the picture of purgatory on earth at the top of the city. Bianliang City has really turned into a hell!
On the two high platforms, Lu Heng and Fukuda Ichiro watched all this with cold eyes. To them, the scene below was just a group of ants fighting.
Ichiro Fukuda crossed his legs and held his chin with one hand, looking at the chaos below with relish.
He saw the imperial guards below being beaten to death by a monk, and he also saw a steel knife stabbed into the heart of a Taoist priest. He also saw a stampede accident among panicked people. The former fell down and were trampled on the back by the next.
Like stepping stones, the wall of people then piled higher and higher until blood flowed from under the floor.
The smell of blood, he enjoyed this taste very much.
Therefore, there was always a smile on his lips.
Suddenly, someone caught his attention.
On the Xuan Shen stage, there was a woman in green with sharp boxing skills. She could knock out several people with one punch. She fought fiercely for half an hour without showing signs of fatigue. And most importantly, this woman was quite pretty.
"She is a female boxer in the Golden Core realm, which is very rare."
Ichiro Fukuda's eyes lit up, and he stared at Xiaoqing's slender body, as if every time she punched her there was a temptation.
"Your Majesty, the Palace Master, is interested in that girl?"
There were two guards around Ichiro Fukuda, one was a swordsman wearing Japanese Ronin costume, and the other was a samurai wearing Later Tang armor.
The warriors of the Later Tang Dynasty had stern expressions and seemed to be unwilling to approach strangers, while the Japanese warriors had a wretched appearance and a pair of sneaky eyes. At a glance, they were the masters of trouble.
The one who spoke at this time was the Japanese Ronin. He had an Eastern name - Laisu.
Hearing this, Fukuda Ichiro did not deny anything, his greed and possessive desire for Xiaoqing were clearly visible in his eyes.
Kurusu smiled. In fact, he thought that Princess Linyang was much more beautiful than the female boxer. However, Fukuda Ichiro had a special hobby, and he just liked women who were heroic and accomplished. In his palace, he was already
It houses no less than dozens of beauties from the Eastern Earth cultivation world.
With Ichiro Fukuda's acquiescence, Kurusu jumped down from the high platform.
The high platform was several feet high, but Lai Qiu didn't seem to care and made an eagle spread its wings in the air.
Kurusu's figure flew down quickly. His movements seemed to be able to really assist flight. His figure glided in the air for a long distance, constantly adjusting his posture during the process. His ultimate goal was Xiao Qing, who was on the platform and was surrounded by enemies from all sides.
!
In the air, Kurusu's hair was flying wildly, but his triangular eyes were like eagles, facing the strong wind without blinking.
He held the handle of the samurai sword at his waist with a strange gesture, and flew over everyone's heads in two breaths, flying menacingly to a foot behind Xiao Qing!
Xiaoqing had long noticed the attack of this powerful opponent, but the surrounding imperial guards arrived one after another like locusts, and she herself had to protect Princess Linyang at all times, so she had no time to take precautions in advance.
Now that the enemy was approaching, an extremely strong sense of crisis came to his mind. Xiaoqing didn't care much, and at the cost of being slashed on the shoulder, he suddenly turned around and punched Kurusu who was flying towards him.
"boom!"
Xiao Qing did not dare to slack off at all with this punch, and directly swung it with all his strength. Half of the zhenqi in his body was overturned by this blow, and a deafening sonic boom was made.
In an instant, the fists were scattered in all directions, and a shock wave swept around, causing the entire platform to shake. The ground cracked, and everyone on it fell down one after another.
A golden fist shot out and hit Kurusu, who was flying towards him.
The latter had a sneer on his face, and instantly pulled out the samurai sword from his waist and raised it above his head, then struck it down like a thunderbolt. The sword flashed and actually split the incoming golden fist into two halves!
"call!"
The fist formed by the true energy fell apart under a single blow. Kurusu was hardly blocked by anything and flew down to bully Xiao Qing.
As a boxer in the golden elixir realm, Xiao Qing naturally saw clearly what happened at that moment. He was not surprised and angry at the moment, and just wanted to take Lin Yang's hand and move aside to avoid it.
But as soon as she had this idea, a sharp katana pierced her abdomen, and then Kurusu's shoulder hit her chest.
The strong inertia greatly increased Kurusu's strength. The katana passed directly through Xiaoqing's body, and the reaction force after landing was also hit by Kurusu's impact and was all thrown into Xiaoqing's body.
This blow was like a collision with a very fast running horse!
