Chapter 5 You're Too Dazzling
The iron halberd in his hand drew a cold arc in the night, heading directly towards the white-robed leader!
fast!
It's almost at its limit!
It seems to transcend the limitations of time and space!
However, the man in white robes merely raised his hand slightly.
"Buzz!"
A pale golden halo appeared in front of him.
"when!"
A deafening explosion!
Wu Zhu's indestructible iron halberd was actually blocked by that layer of pale golden light!
The powerful recoil caused Wu Zhu to involuntarily slide back several steps.
"The protective power of the temple?"
Wu Zhu's tone carried a rare hint of solemnity.
He knew he had encountered a truly formidable enemy.
"You are the puppet who protects the rebels?"
The white-robed man at the head of the group looked down at Wu Zhu with disdain in his eyes.
"Hand over Ye Qingmei, and you will receive God's forgiveness."
Wu Zhu did not answer.
He demonstrated his determination through his actions!
"kill!"
With a low shout, Wu Zhu's figure once again transformed into a blur, the iron halberd in his hand moving like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, swift as lightning and ruthless beyond compare!
This time, he did not choose to confront them head-on.
His movements became even more unpredictable and elusive.
Tie Zhao's angles were incredibly tricky, specifically targeting the opponent's weaknesses!
"Stubborn to the end!"
The white-robed man at the head of the group snorted coldly and stopped holding back.
He clasped his hands together and muttered incantations.
In an instant, beams of holy light descended from the sky, transforming into countless swords of light that rained down on Wu Zhu like a downpour!
Each lightsaber contains a terrifying power to purify everything!
"Jingle bells!"
Wu Zhu wielded the iron halberd in his hand, creating an impenetrable light screen that blocked all the incoming light swords.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the energy surged!
The entire Taiping Villa seemed to be engulfed in a storm of energy!
The other white-robed men also joined the attack.
Their attack methods are completely different from those of the warriors of the Central Plains.
They seem to be able to draw upon some mysterious power in the world and use it for their own purposes.
Some control flames, some condense frost, and some summon thunder!
Wu Zhu fought against many opponents single-handedly and was not at a disadvantage at all!
He was so fast that it was dazzling.
Every swing of his iron shovel was imbued with a killing intent!
However, the power of these temple messengers far exceeded expectations.
Especially the white-robed man at the head, whose strength was unfathomable, and every move he made put immense pressure on Wu Zhu.
The battle instantly intensified!
The buildings of Taiping Villa collapsed one after another during their terrifying battles, turning into ruins.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and a murderous aura filled the sky!
Inside the delivery room, Ye Tian and Fan Xian seemed to sense the commotion outside and began to cry anxiously.
Ye Qingmei held the two children tightly, her face as pale as paper, her heart filled with worry and fear.
She knew that although Wu Zhu was powerful, the enemy had too many people and their strength was extraordinary.
If this continues, Wu Zhu will eventually run out of strength!
"Wu Zhu! Don't worry about us! You have to go!"
Ye Qingmei cried out in a mournful voice.
She didn't want to implicate Wu Zhu because of her.
Wu Zhu did not respond; the iron halberd in his hand remained firm and sharp!
He had promised the young lady that he would protect her and her child!
"Hmph, a puppet without emotions dares to defy the will of God?"
A hint of impatience flashed in the eyes of the white-robed leader.
He suddenly raised both hands above his head.
"Divine punishment!"
With a low shout, the sky above changed color!
A massive, golden bolt of lightning, like a divine dragon descending to earth,
With an aura of annihilation, it slashed down at Wu Zhu!
The power of this strike was enough to make any grandmaster pale in fear!
For the first time, a resolute glint flashed in Wu Zhu's eyes!
He did not back down, but instead charged forward to meet the lightning bolt!
He would use his own body to shield the young lady and the children from this fatal blow!
Just then, a white figure suddenly rushed out from the side at an incredible speed!
His target wasn't Wu Zhu, but the delivery room!
A feint to the east while attacking in the west!
The true target of these temple messengers, from beginning to end, was Ye Qingmei!
"not good!"
Wu Zhu was startled and wanted to go back to help, but he was locked on by that terrifying golden lightning and could not escape at all!
"Miss!"
Wu Zhu let out a furious roar!
At the critical moment!
Suddenly, the white-robed man who rushed into the delivery room froze!
A look of pain and confusion appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he let out a piercing scream, clutched his head with both hands, and fell straight down from mid-air, black blood gushing from his mouth and nose!
The soul is injured!
It's Ye Tian!
At the most critical moment, Ye Tian, still an infant, silently unleashed his trump card—the God-Slaying Needle!
Although he could not fully control the power of the God-Slaying Needle, merely unleashing a fraction of its power was enough to severely injure these temple messengers whose souls were not indestructible!
This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.
Even the white-robed man at the head of the group was slightly taken aback.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Zhu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with an incredible angle, he avoided the core of the golden lightning and stabbed fiercely into the chest of the white-robed leader!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered!
The man in white robes let out a muffled groan and retreated rapidly!
He looked down at the wound on his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He was actually injured!
"withdraw!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the leader in white robes decisively issued the order to retreat.
Their purpose in coming here is to take away or kill Ye Qingmei.
Now that they have suffered heavy losses and there seem to be unknown powerful guardians around their target (who do not know that Ye Tian was behind it), continuing the fight will only increase casualties.
"Trying to leave?"
Wu Zhu's eyes flashed with murderous intent; he was not about to let them escape so easily!
He was about to give chase.
Suddenly, an even more terrifying and vast aura descended from the distant horizon!
That aura was countless times stronger than all the previous temple messengers combined!
It was as if a true god had descended with their will!
"Temple, Elder of Law Enforcement!"
The white-robed man at the head of the group sensed this aura, and his face showed an expression of wild joy and awe.
Wu Zhu's expression became more solemn than ever before!
He knew that the real trouble was about to begin!
"Wu Zhu, you cannot stop the will of the temple."
An ancient and majestic voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, resounding directly in Wu Zhu's mind.
"Leave here, and I can overlook your previous offense."
The voice carried an undeniable authority.
Wu Zhu fell silent.
He knew that if the law enforcement elder came in person, he had no chance of winning.
Even the chances of escaping with the young lady and her children were extremely slim.
"Lead him away!"
Suddenly, Ye Qingmei's weak but firm voice came from inside the delivery room.
"Wu Zhu, believe me! I will protect the children!"
Wu Zhu's body trembled slightly.
He "looked" toward the delivery room, seemingly making a difficult decision.
"Go, Wu Zhu," Ye Qingmei's voice rang out again. "We'll meet again someday."
There was a hint of farewell in his tone.
Wu Zhu turned around abruptly, no longer hesitating, and pointed the iron halberd in his hand in the direction from which the terrifying aura came.
"war!"
With a low roar, his figure transformed into a black streak of light, speeding off in the opposite direction from Taiping Villa!
He was going to lure away that terrifying temple law enforcement elder!
Fight for the girls and children, for a chance of survival!
···············
Deep within the palace, in the imperial study.
Emperor Qing stood alone by the window, his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of Taiping Villa.
The darkness of the night made his imposing figure appear even more lonely and cold.
"Light eyebrows,"
He murmured softly, his tone carrying a complex emotion that was difficult for others to detect.
There was admiration, reluctance, and apprehension, but in the end, all of it turned into a cold and resolute resolve.
Do you know, I truly loved you.
"I love your intelligence, your agility, your boundless imagination, and the radiance in you that seems to illuminate the whole world."
"The days I spent with you were the happiest and most carefree time of my life."
In his mind, the image of Ye Qingmei smiling sweetly appeared, as did her elegant demeanor as she commanded the world and wrote inspiring words.
"But you're too dazzling."
Emperor Qing's voice gradually became low and hoarse.
"So dazzling that it frightens me."
"Your brilliance surpasses mine, surpasses everything in this world."
"Your ideas, your concept of equality for all beings, are like a sword hanging over the head of imperial power."
It was as if it were a constant reminder to me that I was not the sole ruler of this world.
His gaze became sharp and cold, filled with imperial majesty and an inviolable air.
"I am the Son of Heaven, the sole king of this Qing Kingdom!"
"My empire, my power, shall not be touched by anyone, nor shall anyone shake them!"
"You want to change the world, you want everyone to be like a dragon, but have you ever considered that in this world, there is only one dragon needed, and that is me!"
His voice carried a suppressed urge, almost a roar.
"You are too powerful, so powerful that I cannot control you."
"The Imperial Treasury and the Censorate, those instruments that should belong to the imperial power, are all deeply marked by your influence."
"If I don't kill you, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace!"
"If I don't kill you, this Qing Kingdom will eventually change its name and surname!"
A flicker of painful struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger killing intent.
"So, Qingmei, I'm sorry."
"For this empire, for my imperial power, you must die!"
"I will make you a legend, a legend who will live forever in the history books."
"But this living, breathing, uncontrollable Ye Qingmei must never exist in this world again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and looked at Hong Sixiang, who was standing to the side.
"It's almost time."
Hong Sixiang bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
