C4746 When the Tree Falls the Monkeys Scatter!
Chen Xiao saw this and said coldly, "Now it's my turn, Soul Seizing."
As soon as the Soul Seizing Sword appeared, a green light flashed and hit the Black Protector. He staggered and froze on the spot.
Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold. With the Shadow Bearing Sword in hand, he teleported and appeared behind him, slashing down with a sword.
"Sword Slash of One Character."
"Chi."
Black blood splattered out, from his neck to his lower body. The sword slashed down diagonally, and his body was cut into two, shocking everyone.
The Black Protector died, and his soul was extinguished.
When the Third Prince saw this, he was overjoyed and hurried over.
"Dead?"
Chen Xiao nodded, waved his right hand casually, and tore off the black cloth on the Black Protector's face, revealing his true appearance.
It was an extremely unfamiliar and pale middle-aged man's face, and it was also very ordinary.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao frowned and looked at the Third Prince, asking, "Do you know this face?"
The Third Prince shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, I don't know it at all. Moreover, this face looks very stiff and dull."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed, and his divine sense condensed as he stared at this face.
After a moment, he condensed a hand of mana and stretched forward, grabbing the face in the air. With a pull, the mask of human skin was pulled down, revealing another face underneath.
Seeing this face, the Third Prince was shocked, as if he was facing a great enemy. His eyes quickly widened.
"It's actually him."
"Who is he?"
"Chen Xiujie, one of the two great masters of the Chen Clan, and also the mother of the Seventh Prince. Didn't he die in an accident long ago? He's actually still alive. This is simply unbelievable. It's too strange."
The Third Prince's eyes were filled with shock. Until now, even if he had seen it with his own eyes, he still did not believe his own eyes.
Chen Xiujie had originally been dead, but he didn't die. This trick to deceive the heavens was truly brilliant. He did not know how many people had been fooled and how many people had been harmed.
Chen Xiao's face sank, and he understood in his heart. He recalled, "Oh, it's him. It seems that from the beginning to the end, Chen Xiujie's death was only a fake death. It was a meticulously planned conspiracy. All of it was for the sake of helping the Seventh Prince to fight for the throne of the Divine Emperor. He really has a hidden evil intention, and has been planning for a long time."
The Third Prince's face darkened, and he sighed, "That's right. He has been planning for a long time. He almost succeeded. If it wasn't for Brother Chen Xiao, who stopped Li Zhan and the others, the winner today would be Chen Xiujie and the others. The consequences would be unimaginable."
Thinking of this, the Third Prince felt a wave of fear in his heart.
Not only were these guys malicious, they even colluded with outsiders and joined hands with evil sects. They were completely disregarding the safety of the Wushuang Dynasty.
He could do anything for his own personal gain. His methods were despicable and lowly, and it made people feel ashamed.
If such a person really took the throne of the Divine Emperor and controlled the power, it would be hard for him to imagine.
Fortunately, they failed.
"Your plan is not small. What do you plan to do next?" Chen Xiao asked.
The Third Prince's face was solemn as he said, "This matter is of great importance. I must hand it over to my father to decide. Can I hand over this person's corpse to you?"
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, but on the side of the Seventh Prince?"
It was obvious that things had come to this point. There was no room to turn around. It was either you die or I die.
His words were reminding the Third Prince that he should cut it off when it was necessary. If he did not do so, he would be in trouble.
Hearing that, the Third Prince's expression froze. He took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do, Brother Chen Xiao."
"Yes, that's good. Keep the corpse well. It's time for us to go meet this Seventh Prince." Chen Xiao said coldly.
"Yes."
At the same time, outside the villa.
The sounds of fighting and screams mixed in the air. The fluctuations of the battle were continuous and unending.
As the commotion got closer and closer, the Seventh Prince, who was sitting in the pavilion at the top of the villa, still had a carefree look on his face. He sat in the pavilion and listened to the wind and drink.
However, if one looked carefully, one would notice that under his calm appearance, there was a gloomy look in his eyes. There was a flash of panic, and in the end, there was only deep helplessness and despair.
At this time, a wounded subordinate rushed down with a face full of blood.
"It's bad, Your Highness. The enemy is coming with overwhelming strength. We can't hold on any longer. If this goes on, we will be attacked soon. What should we do, Your Highness?"
The subordinate's face was anxious, but the Seventh Prince was calm and somewhat relieved.
He asked, "Is it Third Brother's men?"
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, they said so. They are Third Highness's men."
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince laughed at himself and said, "In the end, I still lost. I didn't lose to big brother, but lost to him. How ridiculous."
In the past, he couldn't see through Third Prince at all. He only treated the First Prince as his opponent.
But he didn't expect that Chen Xiao's appearance gave the Third Prince a chance to rise up, and he also grasped it and soared to the sky.
However, up until now, he had always had a doubt in his heart. How did Yi Tianren and Li Zhan lose?
This was something he could not understand.
"Seventh Highness?" The subordinate asked.
The Seventh Prince was a little dazed, but then he said with a look of realization, "Let me ask you, is there any news from Yi Tianren and Li Zhan?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "No, the situation is very chaotic now. We are stuck in the manor and can't contact the outside world. And we don't see any signs of reinforcements."
“Heh, this is it.” The Seventh Prince smiled coldly.
His subordinate was confused, “Your Highness, what is going on?”
The Seventh Prince sighed and said, “The tide has turned. You should all disperse and run for your lives. Don’t make meaningless sacrifices.”
“This…”
Hearing this, his subordinate was extremely shocked. He looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief. He thought he had heard wrongly.
After confirming it again and again, he finally came back to his senses. His face was dejected.
“Your Highness, are we really defeated?”
The Seventh Prince didn’t say anything. They were about to be defeated at this critical moment. Yi Tianren and Li Zhan hadn’t shown up yet. Wasn’t it obvious enough?
Some things were obvious at first glance, but people just didn’t want to believe it.
The Seventh Prince’s words were the last ultimatum. It broke the last bit of hope of his subordinates. Everything was destroyed.
The Seventh Prince waved his hand helplessly and said, “Go.”
His subordinate sighed and could only accept this reality, “Yes, please take care of yourself, Your Highness.”
Then, his subordinates stopped caring and used their own methods to break out of the encirclement.
At this time, they all wanted to live.
