A dozen breaths ago, he was still laughing at his timidity. The man who had dominated the world for decades, died in the blink of an eye...
Looking at the bloody human head not far away, the old man in black took a few steps back as if he had seen some savage beast, his eyes full of horror.
There is no doubt that the old man in white robe was killed by the assassin in the formation.
And being able to kill a second-grade master neatly and neatly in such a short period of time...
His throat squirmed slightly, and the old man in black felt a chill down his spine, giving him the illusion of being in an ice cave in this early summer.
To this day, of course he doesn't dare to join the battle again.
He knew that this head was a warning. If he entered the formation, the next head thrown out of the formation would undoubtedly be his.
"Guo, Senior Guo, this..."
At this time, more and more people were gathering around the old man in black.
They belong to different forces, but the purpose of coming here is to save Lu Yuansong.
Their strengths are different, but now they all hesitate to move forward because of this head.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on the old man in black, who was at the highest level, and the latter only said one sentence after being silent for a long time -
"Move in the imperial army and we must not allow the assassin to escape!"
"..."
Call in the Imperial Guard.
The old man in black spoke very forcefully, but the meaning behind his words was very clear.
That means he won't take this risk for Lu Yuansong.
If it was Lu Hongji who was trapped in the formation at this time, everyone present would probably not hesitate.
And if it was Lu Yuansong... Even though he was a prince, he would still be dead if he died.
Of course, this does not mean that Lu Yuansong is not important.
But no matter for Da Hui or these people, Lu Yuansong's life was not enough for them to "sacrifice their lives to save others."
After all, this assassin killed a second-level master in just ten breaths...
...
White mist filled the air and the moon and stars were sparse.
Just like that, a strange dead silence fell outside the array.
More and more people started shooting from all directions on Longshou Mountain, and then stopped outside the formation in tacit agreement, looking at the billowing white mist in front of them in silence.
The illusion array cast by Yang Liushi cuts off all sound, light and shadow. Unless you enter the array, you will not be able to see or hear anything.
However, everyone can imagine the scene in the formation now.
The reality was indeed similar to what they thought. At this moment, the huge Changding Hall was already filled with flames and a sea of blood and corpses.
Hundreds of soldiers in golden armor were lying in a pool of blood, while more palace maids and eunuchs were running around, and then they would suddenly fall to the ground and die at an unknown time.
The cold wind howled, and every time Yang Liushi's figure flashed, several corpses would be left behind. It would not take long to kill all the living people in the entire Changding Hall.
Wei Changtian was still standing in the main hall, but with a wave of his hand, he blew away the last three soldiers blocking Lu Yuansong.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
There were three muffled sounds in no particular order, and the three soldiers slammed into the stone pillars in the hall and fell to the ground, as if they could no longer die.
After they died, the only living people in the main hall were Wei Changtian and the pale-faced Lu Yuansong.
Looking at the black beast lying not far away, and recalling the scene where thousands of swords flew together, Lu Yuansong understood that this masked man was really Wei Changtian, even though he didn't know what the Gu sculpture was.
Because of this, he did not make any meaningless resistance, but just watched Wei Changtian approach step by step until he stood in front of him.
"Your Highness, if you have any life-saving treasures with you, please hand them over."
Smiling and lowering the Yuan Tu Sword, Wei Changtian said casually: "You should know that these things can't save you. At most, they will just delay your death for a while."
"It's meaningless. Why don't you hand it over quickly and I'll give you a happy one too, which will save everyone trouble."
"..."
Looking at the corpses on the floor in the hall and listening to Wei Changtian's words, Lu Yuansong took one last look at the rolling white mist in the distance, knowing that the people outside the formation had given up on him.
In fact, he had expected this.
After all, he had witnessed the scene when Wei Changtian killed the old man in white robe with one sword.
To be fair, if it were him, Lu Yuansong would not step into the battle to save others.
only......
"Young Master Wei, there are definitely forbidden troops outside the formation at this time. If you kill me, it will be extremely difficult to escape."
Looking directly at Wei Changtian, Lu Yuansong said softly: "Why don't you take me as a hostage? It will also be good for you."
Offer to be a hostage.
It was obvious that Lu Yuansong wanted to live longer in this way.
However, when Wei Changtian heard this, he didn't even think about it and just smiled and shook his head.
"No, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about how I can escape."
"Is it......"
His eyes became desperate, and Lu Yuansong's expression became even more miserable.
It seems to be helpless against fate, and it also seems to be regret for things that have not yet been completed.
I saw him suddenly raise his head at a certain moment and asked the last question.
"Master Wei, can I ask you why you need to kill me?"
"..."
"No special reason, just because your surname is Lu."
...
...
A quarter of an hour later.
When another life tablet in the Lu family ancestral hall was shattered and the white mist swirling around the Changding Hall slowly dissipated, the mood of the thousands of people surrounding it instantly became tense to the extreme.
He tightly clenched the weapon in his hand, even his breathing became stagnant.
Thousands of people just stared at the gradually revealed Changding Hall, saw the corpses on the ground, and saw the cold moonlight, but they did not hear any movement.
There were no fleeing crowds, no scenes of fierce fighting.
The entire Changding Hall was completely silent, without any movement, let alone any assassins.
"Enter!"
A low shout came from the old man in black.
He waved his hand, and thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers slowly and cautiously moved forward, narrowing the encirclement little by little.
"Da da da......"
There was still no movement in the palace, only the dull footsteps of the Imperial Guards echoed in the night sky.
Looking at the corpses everywhere, the old man in black who fell behind the military formation knew that there would be no survivors in Changding Hall.
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, the assassin actually killed everyone...
"Senior Guo."
After an unknown amount of time, a general of the Forbidden Army hurried to the side of the old man in black and said in an extremely complicated tone:
"The body of the second prince was found."
"..."
The old man in black looked at him for a moment, then shook his head and asked: "Where is the assassin?"
"Not found."
The general of the Forbidden Army answered truthfully: "It should be that he escaped by some means."
"well......"
Sighing, the old man in black didn't say anything else, but just raised his eyes to look at the night sky.
A dark cloud covered the moon, blocking the moonlight.
After being silent for a long time, he slowly said as if talking to himself:
"It won't be done by the eldest prince and others."
"There will be a great disaster this time around."
"Everyone, please wish yourselves good luck in the future..."
