Chapter 1038: Killing

Outside the palace, ministers had gradually arrived."Bold! This official is the Chief Supervisor of Censors, dare you obstruct this official!"A dignified-looking official rebuked the guards who were b...Chapter 1038: Killing

Keep your head high.

Four simple words, yet the intense aura of power and arrogance almost spills out.

Li Yinhu was the first to sense Li Chen's wild, rebellious spirit that threatened to shake heaven and earth.

He gritted his teeth and laughed wildly, "Good! Good! Good!"

"It is your stubbornness that seeks death, so I can only fulfill your wish!"

After finishing his words, Li Yinhu raised his palm.

Behind him, archers immediately nocked their arrows and drew back their bows.

Seeing this, Su Pingbei, still surging with excitement, roared, "Protect the Prince!"

As soon as his voice fell, hundreds of soldiers rushed forward and formed a circle around Li Chen.

The front row crouched down, the middle row bent over, and the back row stood straight. All soldiers raised their shields.

A massive shield, large enough to completely enclose Li Chen, materialized instantly.

Pushing through the gaps in the crowd, Li Yinhǔ looked at Li Chen.

Their eyes met in mid-air. In Li Yinhu's eyes, there was nothing but malice and madness.

"Fire!"

With this order, only the sound of "bang bang bang" could be heard. That was the sound of the bowstring being pulled to its limit and then suddenly released.

Hundreds upon thousands of arrows converged into a hail of projectiles, soaring over Li Yinhǔ's head from behind and arcing down towards the Taimiao Palace in a parabolic trajectory.

Li Chen was in the front line, taking the brunt of it.

Su Ping's northern teeth gnashed, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared: "Shield bearers, raise your shields to protect me! Assault battalion, charge alongside this general and slay the enemy!"

"Woooo~ "

A desolate horn sounded, accompanied by earth-shattering battle cries, like fireworks exploding, unfolding an unprecedented melee before the gates of the Tai Temple.

The flames of rebellion finally reached the Imperial Temple and the East Palace.

As the two sides clashed, slaughter and bloodshed immediately swept across the field. Li Yinhǔ, who had initially ordered the attack, retreated under Zhou Xingjiǎ's protection.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. At this scale of fighting, Li Yinhǔ knew he absolutely had to ensure his own safety.

"The heavy infantry battalion hasn't arrived yet." Zhou Xingjia reminded.

"Li Chen must have been prepared, with a plan in place. It's not surprising."

Li Yinhu let out a cold snort, he said viciously: "Has Zhao Xuanji come yet"

Zhou Xingjia shook his head.

Silence is an answer in itself.

Li Yinhu was furious and said, "This old man is really patient!"

He had long seen that Zhao Xuanji was going to push him to the forefront, to be the leader of this rebellion.

If it succeeds, everything will be fine. He'll naturally come out and share the fruits of victory.

If he fails, he will surely have a way out.

Thinking about this, Li Yinhǔ felt even more unwilling.

Despite risking everything on this gamble, he was still just a pawn in Zhao Xuanji's hands.

This battle cannot be delayed, release the venomous insects!

Zhou Xingjia's eyebrows twitched as he glanced at the battlefield situation and said, "But now our side clearly has more people. Once the insects go down, it will be almost impossible to distinguish friend from foe."

Li Yinhu sneered and said, "Why should I distinguish between friend and foe These people are not mine, they all belong to Zhao Xuanji. If they die, will I feel sorry"

Zhou Xingjia heard this and fell silent for a moment before bowing and saying, "As you command."

The scene of tens of thousands being slaughtered was extremely grand and horrific.

Especially being immersed in it, you can really feel the sense of human life being cheap, with people dying every moment. It's incredibly impactful.

At the start of the battle, Su Pingbei immediately led his men to surround and protect Li Chen.

"Your Highness, please enter the palace. This place is far too unsafe." Su Pingbei said to Li Chen seriously.g Su Pingbei."Jinpa, you said that when the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, you will surely be promoted to Empress. Then, our Empress, would she become the youngest Dowager Empress in the history...
