"Young Master Ye..."


    The grey-robed old man wanted to say more, but Chen Yao, standing nearby, suddenly shot a sharp gaze his way!


    Huh?


    Chen Yao didn''t speak, yet the grey-robed old man suddenly felt a chill run through his body, involuntarily trembling.


    The oppressive force of Director Chen from the Town Martial Hall was too strong.


    "For Young Master Ye to agree to treat the Empress is her honor!" A youth in a black robe by Chen Yao''s side snorted coldly, and his deep voice caused everyone to involuntarily step back a few paces, "Yes, Lord of Shadows!"


    This black-robed youth seemed devoid of any Martial Breath fluctuations.


    But in reality, he was a terrifying existence in the Town Martial Hall, second only to Chen Yao, a single man who could face a thousand foes!


    Ye Fan, cradling Ji Ningxuan, quickly strode toward the civilian house and teleported to it.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    Suddenly, a series of rapid sounds of tearing through the air exploded above the wasteland. A group of about a dozen people appeared in front of Ye Fan, blocking his path.


    "Are you Ye Fan? You really are a nuisance. Isn''t it good to just be a fool? Why create such big trouble for Prince Jin... Today, I''m here to send you on your way!"


    The leader was an old man in a Tang suit, and behind him stood a row of experts in red armor!


    Ye Fan merely glanced at them and was shocked to discover that these red-armored experts all had fluctuations close to the Martial Emperor Realm?


    Damn!


    Since when had Martial Arts Experts become so worthless?


    Have they turned into cabbages strewn across the streets?


    Moreover, the key point was that on those red-armored Martial Arts Experts, Ye Fan felt a unique Rune Talisman oppression, somewhat similar to the suppressing force of the Divinity Fragment used by Zhou Ming earlier.


    Had Prince Jin grown so impatient?


    Using so many mysterious experts to kill him at once?


    Although Ye Fan''s strength had now reached the Eighth Rank Martial Emperor, and he also possessed the Teleportation Trait, the Absolute Domain of the Divinity Fragment, the purification effects of the Evil-Purging Formation, and Inheritance''s burning among other trump cards.


    But Ye Fan had never faced so many sinister Martial Arts Experts attacking at once, and he felt somewhat apprehensive!


    The key issue was that the poison spreading through Ji Ningxuan''s body was accelerating. Although Ye Fan had used his methods to protect Ji Ningxuan''s heart meridians, if the poison wasn''t quickly expelled, Ji Ningxuan would truly die.


    Chen Yao called out to the young man in the black robe beside him, gently waving his wrist.


    The next moment!


    The young man in the black robe beside Chen Yao turned into a shadowy afterimage, instantly rushing towards Lu Yuan.


    The battle saber, glinting with cold light, only left a trail of light in the air!


    Thump! Thump!


    In an instant, five Red Armored experts plummeted to the ground!


    Hisss!


    Lu Yuan was utterly stunned, "How is this possible?"


    The top-tier Red Armored Army of the royal family, though few in numbers, possessed extraordinary strength. Furthermore, stimulated by medicine and runes, they could display combat power that far exceeded their actual numbers.


    Before coming here, Lu Yuan had already activated the runes on them and administered stimulating medicines.


    At this moment, all of their combat powers were at least at the Martial Emperor Level, and with the enhancement of special runes, their combat power was even higher!


    Although he knew that the Shadow beside Chen Yao was extremely powerful, his men shouldn''t be this pathetic, not even getting a chance to fight back, right?


    Gurgle!


    Lu Yuan let out a startled cry, and suddenly realized that he couldn''t make any sound. Instead of speaking, only gurgling noises came from his mouth, and Lu Yuan felt a cool sensation on his neck as though some liquid was flowing down!


    Hm?


    Ah?


    Enjoy more content from empire


    Shock gripped Lu Yuan''s heart. He reached to touch his neck, looked down, and his pupils dilated with his eyes nearly popping out!


    When had his throat been slit?


    Just now, the Shadow had merely passed by him in a flash, so when had he moved?


    Was it Shadow who had made the move, or was it Chen Yao?


    Was he about to die?


    "Mmph mmph..." Lu Yuan covered his throat in horror, trying to stop the flow of blood, but it was all too late. The Vitality Force within his body dissipated rapidly, his body staggered, and then he fell to the ground...
