Chapter 1628 - Lying Dragon Clique, Part II
There was a tall building on the opposite side of the street from the Tang Mansion.
A man and a woman were standing beside a window in this tall building facing the Tang Mansion. The woman was Fang Min, who had gone to the Tang Mansion earlier to end her engagement.
She was still upset about having been snubbed even though she had been the one to have first sought to break off the engagement.
The man standing next to her, with an average build and a dandy outfit, was trying to comfort her.
“I will punish them for making you angry,” the man said in a confident tone.
“Are you sure it’s really all right? His father was Jiang Chen’s bodyguard after all. Forcing his mother into the Palace…”
Fang Min didn’t finish the sentence, yet her expression showed that she was worried.
“Nobody would dare to make a move if Jiang Chen and the Empress were still here. Now is our chance to let people know our Lying Dragon Clique has seized power.”
“I agree 100 percent,” Du Zhenfei said.
Nonetheless, their faces changed when they’d arrived at the Tang Mansion.
Almost the entire force of Imperial Guards had shown up. In addition, two masters, the only martial-grade powerhouses left in the Flying Dragon Dynasty nowadays, were also here.
Ever since the Endless Continent had been formed, the East Ridge had been desired. A force like the Flying Dragon Dynasty that had been entrenched for hundreds of years naturally attracted some great people: these two Martial Emperors for example.
“Get ready! Kill without mercy!”
An officer of the Imperial Guards was shouting orders fervently. He wanted to avenge the murder of his subordinates at all costs.
“Slow down!” Qiu Yan and Du Zhenfei hastened forward to stop it.
“Are you going to fight without getting the details of what happened?” Qiu Yan questioned.
“They didn’t come to ask me when they killed my people,” the officer said coldly.
“Being able to kill Luo Sheng and that many guards easily, it’s highly possible this person is a martial-grade master. Something bad could happen if you rush in there prematurely. It’s better to get to the bottom of this first,” Du Zhenfei said, changing his tactics.
Indeed, the officer hesitated, looking toward the two masters. “Okay, we’ll be here for you if you need us.”
The two masters instructed him not to worry.
The officer was reassured.
Countless balls of flame flickered as he waved his hand. Looking closely, it was numerous guards drawing their bows strapped with fire arrows.
“Burst Arrows? They really are leaving us no leeway at all.”
Beyond distressed, Qiu Yan said, “The Marquis Champion cares about the Tang family most of all. Aren’t you afraid he’s going to come back?”
“I’m afraid that in the eyes of the Marquis Champion, the tiny Flying Dragon Dynasty doesn’t even enter his eyes. He’s already the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, so why would he care about in insignificant Marquis Champion?”
The Chancellor could not deny, and said, “I see, he’s already forgotten about you.”
“Shoot the arrows!”
With a single order, countless arrows flew towards the Tang Mansion.
Judging from this, a wave of arrows could raze the Tang Mansion to the ground.
People of the national capital were shocked, and things were completely too much for them to keep up with.
“Alas, you have brought this on yourselves.” In the tall building, Fang Min shook his head, not thinking that the fault was his.
Seeing that the bursting arrows were about to fall on the Tang Mansion, a magical scene happened.
All the exploding arrows were frozen in the air, not moving.
After that, they switched directions and shot at the Royal Guards instead.
“Oh no!”
The Chancellor’s heart was heavy, not knowing what to do at all.
In the blink of an eye, the guards who had shot arrows all died from their own arrows, and their bodies were even destroyed by the power of the bursting arrows.
“Who dares to bully the weak here!”
Two martial-grade masters coldly shouted and flew into the Tang Mansion.
