Chapter 211 - 209. Exterminated III

Third-person POV

The lifeless body of a woman in green clothes suddenly twitched. Meiyun knitted her brows and slowly opened her eyes. Although her vision was still blurry, she knew that Hong er was not here.

She recalled that she was stabbed at the heart and she was supposed to be dead by now, yet, she is still alive thanks to Hong er. Hong er healed her most fatal wound by transferring her Qi to Meiyun's body from the ground.

Meiyun hasn't fully healed yet, at least the hole in heart that was caused by Bataar was closed and had stopped bleeding. If it was only the wound in her stomach, she probably could survive.

She touched her abdomen and her palm was covered with blood. One thought passed her mind.

Meiyun: "My baby…"

She bit her lips as she hopes that her baby would be able to survive. Then she remembered the words that Weisheng told her. She gripped her hand and concentrated her Qi to her fist.

A faint line of black smoke appeared on her fist but a few seconds later, the smoke vanished into thin air. She clicked her tongue and tested it out again several times, yet, her Qi was not enough to summon the portal.

Meiyun gritted her teeth as she tried to think a way of summoning the portal. She clutched her bleeding abdomen and stared at the spot where she saw Hong er for the last time.

Meiyun: 'Baby….give mother the strength…'

Meiyun inaudibly whispered as her tears streamed down her cheeks. The room was silent for a moment when black smoke suddenly burst out from Meiyun's abdomen. Meiyun coughed up a mouthful of black blood and she heard a sweet whisper before her vision darken.

'Mother.'

A black thunder struck the roof and the ground started to shake vigorously. Ah Tong and Ah Xi who had dropped to the ground and only left with a quarter of their life, widened their eyes in shock.

The BZ soldiers that were about to slash Ah Tong and Ah Xi's head also abruptly stopped their movement. They looked up to the sky and saw the cloud was whirling with black thunders crackled around it.

A wave of dark Qi shot down from the cloud to the roof and caused everyone that stood around there blown away. Ah Tong instantly passed out when his head slammed the wall, on the other side, Ah Xi's ribs cracked as his back hit a tree.

Ah Xi desperately gasped for air, he couldn't breathe too hard as his lungs felt like it was stabbed by a dagger whenever he inhales. His ears were ringing and he couldn't hear any word from a man in front of him.

The only words he could mutter out were "Your Majesty Empress...Help Her Majesty Empress…"

The man in front of him roared and ran off.

Weisheng was conversing with Lu Ping at the border wall that separates Da Qi and Bei Zhou when a black thunder struck the wall followed by a black portal materialized in front of their eyes.

He could feel his blood run cold when he saw the portal. Without another word, he jumped into the portal and the portal disappeared into thin air. Qiyi immediately searched for Qier and departed to Chang An.

In the portal with endless darkness, Wesheng closes his eyes and clasped his hands. He searched for the other portal as he had installed several portals on his secret base so he could go there without being noticed.

Howbeit, the side effect of using the portal to travel is his power would become unstable. The same thing was happening now but worse. Since his heart was in turmoil from the bad premonition, the power that he tried hard to oppress was starting to resurface.

He could feel his heart burning with anger and aggravation. The tattoos on his back also started to expand to his abdomen. He took a deep breath as he said to himself that everything would be alright.

Yet, the moment he stepped out of the portal, his pupil constricted in horror. Meiyun was lying unconscious on a pool of blood. His eyes glanced at the two beds which both of them covered in red and black blood.

Weisheng: 'Sh-she gave birth…but why is there so much blood…'

His lips trembled as no word could come out from his throat. He looked around and saw a pile of dead bodies in front of the throne seat where he specially built a secret passageway for Hong er.

He stormed out of the hall to the courtyard and noticed that dozens of BZ soldiers surrounding the collapsed Ah Tong and Ah Xi. He immediately summoned his scythe and tore them into halves. He caught a glimpse of Ah Xi's lips moved. He ran to Ah Xi's side and roared.

Weisheng: "What happened?! Where is Hong er?!"

Ah Xi: "Your Majesty Empress…Help Her Majesty Empress…"

Weisheng clutched his head as the burning sensation began to make him lose his sanity. He roared as his fangs grew longer. He dashed off whilst following Qi of the ring that he gave Hong er a decade ago.

5 minutes of running in the forest, he sniffed a heavy scent of blood. He glanced around and found Huayun laying unconscious in the bushes. He pulled her out from the bushes and lightly slapped her face. Yet, there was no sign of her waking up.

Weisheng: "Tch!"

He laid her down under the tree and cast a barrier to hide Huayun. From her injuries, he knew that this was the work of an assassin. If Huayun was not dead and she was hiding, it means the assassins were still lurking around looking for her.

As he thought, he met a few assassins on his way. He easily killed them and continued to run as if nothing happened. Another 10 minutes, he reached the Royal Palace's wall. He leaps over the 8-meter wall with ease.

Not long after, he heard an ear-piercing cry and clashing sound. He quickened his pace and finally arrived at the scene. The last strand of his sanity snapped from the sight in front of him.
