C238 Heaven Shocking Knife

The archers around the wall, along with the cultivators and guards, had surrounded Zhao Mingzhe and the entire Clear Water Courtyard in three or three layers. Although they did not make a move, their expressions were very solemn.

Zhao Mingzhe's mind was constantly thinking back to the entire matter. Right now, he was completely sure that Zhou Changqing was recuperating in this courtyard, but why did Qiao Qiang look like he really did not know? Was there some sort of conspiracy behind all this?

No matter how he thought about it, Zhao Mingzhe was also unable to understand it in a short amount of time, so he simply held onto the water-repelling spear tightly.

From the moment he decided to come to the Clear Water Courtyard, Zhao Mingzhe had already thought this through. If something were to happen, he would definitely not surrender, and at worst, he would just rush out.

Not long after, the sound of hundreds of horses galloping came from outside the courtyard. Zhao Mingzhe frowned, and thought to himself, who exactly did the First Prince send, this battle should not be small.

Just as he was wondering in his heart, Zhao Mingzhe heard the First Prince Qin Ran's voice.

"Zhao Mingzhe, this king has heard that you barged into my Clear Water Courtyard late at night.

Zhao Mingzhe had initially heard from Ye Jinxuan that the First Prince and Second Emperor were rarely seen. Other than entering the palace, they would never go out, so he had never expected that the First Prince would come to Clear Water Courtyard late at night, due to him.

At this time, the surrounding people had already started to pay their respects to the First Prince. Beside the First Prince were tens of guards, who were dressed in fine clothes and looking at Zhao Mingzhe with unfriendly gazes.

Zhao Mingzhe remained fearless and said:

"I've already said it before, I'm here to find a mortal enemy, Zhou Changqing. Right, this Zhou Changqing is also someone from the Ghost Gate. I wonder how the First Prince is going to handle this matter!"

"You mean, there are people from the Ghost Gate in my Clear Water Courtyard? This was utter nonsense! Zhao Mingzhe, you should know that barging into the Prince's Courtyard is already a heavy crime. framing the prince would also be quite a heinous crime. Now, I have personally come to see you because I do not want you to continue to go astray. Tell me honestly, is it someone ordered you to come here?

"If I've already explained it, I don't want to repeat it. In this courtyard, I have already met Zhou Changqing. What else is there to say? "

Qin Ran's face turned cold, but after letting out a long breath, he regained his composure.

"Zhao Mingzhe, you suspect that I have connections with people from the Ghost Gate, right? Alright, then this king will prove to you that I have seen and killed every single person in the Ghost Gate! Tong Cheng, bring some people with you and Qiao Qiang to search the courtyard. Investigate the identities of everyone here. If there are any unidentified people, bring them over. If they resist, kill them on the spot. This king would like to see if there's any Zhou Changqing here with Ghost Gate. "

"Yes!" A man beside Qin Ran answered. Together with over a hundred people, Qiao Qiang and the others started to search the Clear Water Courtyard.

The First Prince Qin Ran looked at Zhao Mingzhe and said:

"Do you still feel that This King is deliberately putting on an act in front of you? Actually, you really shouldn't be thinking this, this king has always been optimistic about you. Originally, I had planned to have a good talk with you after you returned from this experiential learning, but I didn't expect that you and the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry would have something to mutually criticize each other. Furthermore, you disappeared after entering the Imperial City.

Zhao Mingzhe frowned, and asked:

"I don't understand. What do I have that's worthy of the First Prince's attention?!"

"It's simple. I value you because of the words of two people. One is your Sect Master Xie Tianji, he had once told this duke that your future achievements will not stop at the mortal world, and another is that Xuanyuan Zong Great Elder Di Xie had recommended you to this duke with all his might. Elder Di Xie had also said before, that although you have a restriction or restriction on you, you have great fortune on you, and your future is limitless. There is nothing wrong with this duke giving you a higher opinion because of what the two of them said. Moreover, this duke never thought of using you, I only wanted to befriend you and form a good relationship with you. If you do not believe what I have said, you can ask Xie Tianji and Di Xie! "

Zhao Mingzhe was a little surprised, he faintly felt that Di Xie definitely knew something about his own lock chain. It seemed that he had to think of a way to meet Di Xie.

Just as he was thinking of this, from the back, a shout rang out. Soon after, Tong Cheng and Qiao Qiang, who were with the First Prince, were really chasing after a person. Amongst the guards, there was slight confusion.

Zhao Mingzhe turned his head, the one being chased was Zhou Changqing!

At this time, as Zhou Changqing blocked the two people's pursuit, he shouted loudly:

"Zhao Mingzhe, our plan is successful. We have to kill the First Prince, Qin Ran!"

Zhao Mingzhe was startled for a moment, and then immediately reacted, Zhou Changqing was going to blame him!

It was just that the guards around the First Prince Qin Ran did not know the truth. Their expressions changed as they focused all their attention on Zhao Mingzhe.

At that moment, a saber over a hundred meters long suddenly appeared out of thin air and slashed down violently towards the First Prince!

The guards beside the First Prince Qin Ran were distracted by Zhou Changqing's shout and completely lost their defense. They subconsciously pounced at Qin Ran, wanting to use their flesh and blood to block the huge blade!

In the midst of the explosive shout, Tong Cheng, who was originally chasing after Zhou Changqing, turned around and a gigantic palm appeared behind him as his vitality exploded in the sky. Following that, Tong Cheng's two arms instantly grew several times larger as his palms clamped onto the gigantic blade slashing down from the sky.

At this moment, the aura emitted by Tong Cheng's hand and blade had surpassed the power of a soul weapon!

However, Tong Cheng came from the back and was at a disadvantage.

The longblade let out a humming sound as it fell down. Although Tong Cheng's two hands had clamped onto the blade, he was unable to stop it from falling. His two thick arms were instantly deformed.

Although the cultivators around the First Prince had used their flesh and blood to block him, they were still unable to slow down the speed of the saber!

This slash, after killing dozens of people, struck the First Prince, Qin Ran, squarely in the chest!

Fresh blood spurted out from Qin Ran's mouth as her body collapsed to the ground!

Zhao Mingzhe was extremely shocked, he felt that on the path of a cultivator, he had never seen a move that was more powerful than this blade.

The long blade appeared out of thin air, and the person who attacked had disappeared without a trace. It should be a concealed shadow movement technique to hide his tracks, looks like, this matter was definitely related to the Ghost Gate again.

Although Qin Ran was not cut into two, it was definitely because she was wearing a treasured armor. Even so, the huge impact brought by her long saber would probably cause Qin Ran no end of misfortune!

A prince, in front of his very eyes, actually had the possibility of being assassinated. Zhao Mingzhe felt that this matter was going to happen soon.

The huge sword in the sky had disappeared. It was as if the sword had come from beyond the heavens. There was no trace of it!

Tong Cheng, whose arms had been severely deformed, roared with a ferocious expression:

"Kill, kill anyone who is not from the prince's mansion!"

As the mournful sounds of the arrows rose into the air, the entire imperial city was destined to fall into disarray …
