Chapter 1128 Your Doomsday Has Arrived
Time passes minute by minute.
On the city tower of Chengtianmen, the celebration ceremony is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Murong Yan sat regally on the phoenix chair that had been prepared beforehand, receiving the congratulations of the officials and the cheers of the people.
On her face was a perfectly measured, regal, and gentle smile.
But deep within those beautiful phoenix eyes lay a cold, undisturbed calm.
She is waiting.
Lin Zhen stood beside her, like a silent, invincible guardian.
His hand remained on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
His gaze, seemingly casual, swept over the dark mass of people below, but in reality, it was like the most sophisticated radar, taking in every suspicious corner.
He is also waiting.
They were waiting for the rats hiding in the sewers to crawl out of their holes.
At noon, we finally arrived.
The sun rose to the very center of the sky, showering the earth with its scorching rays without reservation.
The entire Chengtianmen Square was enveloped in a golden, magnificent sea.
Just at this moment.
A sudden change occurs!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Dozens of crossbow bolts, gleaming with a chilling blue light and coated with deadly poison, shot out simultaneously from the crowds around the square, from the windows of restaurants lining the streets, and from the rooftops of nearby houses!
They have only one goal!
—Atop the city wall, there stood the peerless empress, clad in a gown emblazoned with the divine phoenix!
This sudden scene stunned everyone!
The cheers of the people came to an abrupt halt!
Instead, there were terrified screams!
However, just as those poisoned arrows were about to strike Murong Yan...
A silver figure moved!
Lin Zhen's figure moved as fast as lightning!
He didn't even draw his sword!
With a mere sway of his body, he stood in front of Murong Yan!
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
A series of rapid, metallic clanging sounds, like raindrops hitting banana leaves, rang out!
The dozens of poisoned arrows, powerful enough to pierce iron armor, seemed to hit an invisible wall the moment they struck his body, and were all bounced away!
None of them could harm him in the slightest!
"Escort!"
Only then did the Imperial Guards on the city wall react, letting out terrified roars, raising their shields, and surrounding Murong Yan and Lin Zhen in layers!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At the same time, several violent explosions occurred in succession among the crowd in the square!
Those were powerful thunderbolts thrown by the madmen of the "Nihilism Party"!
The explosion and thick smoke instantly blasted several huge gaps in the crowd!
Limbs and torsos were severed, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere!
The square, which was originally a place of joy and celebration, was transformed into a living hell in an instant!
Screams, cries, and wails filled the air!
The whole scene instantly spiraled out of control!
"Hahaha! Murong Yan! Lin Zhen! Your doomsday has come!"
Faceless looked at the chaotic scene before him and let out a maniacal laugh!
He suddenly ripped off the mask from his face, revealing a face twisted with madness!
"Comrades! The time has come to avenge our master! Kill that despicable couple! Destroy this hypocritical world!"
He raised his scimitar high and, leading dozens of his core and most fanatical "Nihilistic Party" members, launched a suicidal charge towards Chengtian Gate like a pack of wild beasts unleashed from their cages!
They wanted to take advantage of the chaos, rush up the city wall, and personally cut off the heads of that despicable couple!
However, they had only taken a few steps.
A deadly net, already prepared for them, was about to fall upon them!
"Fire arrows!"
A cold, emotionless command rang out simultaneously from all directions!
All that could be heard was the continuous sound of something whistling through the air!
Thousands of dense arrows, like black clouds, poured down from seemingly ordinary shops, seemingly peaceful houses, and from the high ground that had long been controlled!
Faceless and his dozens of charging comrades were instantly enveloped in it!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The sound of arrows piercing flesh was so frequent it sent chills down my spine!
Those "Nihilistic Party" members who were just like mad tigers didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were shot into pincushions and died on the spot!
The faceless pupils suddenly contracted!
He never dreamed that the other party was prepared all along!
This is a trap!
A death trap tailor-made for them!
In the critical moment, he suddenly pulled one of his companions over and shielded him in front of him!
That poor companion was instantly riddled with bullets!
Taking advantage of this brief respite, Wumian burst forth like a cheetah, charging madly towards the city wall instead of retreating!
He knew he had no way out!
Today, either the fish will die or the net will break!
On top of the city tower.
Murong Yan remained seated on the phoenix chair.
Looking down at the hellish scene below, at the innocent civilians crying and fleeing amidst the explosions and chaos, her beautiful face showed no panic, only a cold, bone-chilling chill.
The massive shockwave from the explosion caused her dark gold phoenix-themed dress and its magnificent five-zhang-long train to flutter wildly!
The phoenix embroidered with gold thread, its wings outstretched as if about to take flight, seemed to let out a silent, angry cry that pierced the soul, illuminated by the firelight!
"Zhao Wuji!" Her voice, though not loud, was clear and reached the ears of every member of the Imperial Guard.
"Chen is here!"
"All traitors, give them to me to be executed on the spot! Leave not a single one alive!"
"Yes!"
With her command!
Those "Night Owls" and elite troops of the Beijing Garrison, who were originally disguised as ordinary people, merchants and laborers, instantly tore off all their disguises!
They surged out of the crowd, from the corners, like a tide!
The weapons in their hands gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight!
"kill!"
The deafening shouts of battle echoed throughout the entire square!
A brutal and bloody street battle erupted instantly!
The remnants of the "Nihilism Party," though each one a fearless madman, are simply too few in number.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the elite troops of the Beijing Garrison, who were several times their number, well-equipped and well-trained, and the "Night Owl" assassins, they were simply no match for them!
One after another, the men in black fell into pools of blood amidst screams.
The entire Chengtianmen Square was completely transformed into a huge, bloody slaughterhouse!
Wumian watched his companions fall one by one, his eyes wide with fury!
He knew he was finished!
Mr. Kong's "Purification Plan" has also come to a complete end!
Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him!
He let out a beast-like roar, channeling his inner strength to its limit, and his speed surged once again. He actually braved the rain of arrows and charged to the foot of the Chengtian Gate's city wall!
He tapped his toes on the city wall several times, and like a gecko climbing a wall, he swiftly climbed towards the top of the city tower!
He has only one goal!
Murong Yan!
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The Imperial Guards on the city wall were terrified at the sight and raised their halberds to thrust at him!
However, Faceless's skills far exceeded their expectations!
In mid-air, he made an incredible twist, dodging all the attacks, and then, like a large bird, landed on the edge of the city wall!
He was less than ten feet away from Murong Yan!
"Murong Yan! Prepare to die!" he roared, brandishing his scimitar as he lunged madly at Murong Yan!
