C2137 King to King
The Changsha Palace was right in front of them. Countless palace guards surrounded the huge palace so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through. The archer drew his bow, ready to fire.
A murderous aura enveloped the area, and even the air around them seemed to freeze.
The guard who was leading the way came out of the corner and upon seeing the chilling sight, his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
"Abandon duty!" Someone suddenly said this.
The guard leading the way was stunned for a moment before saying, "No ?"
Sou sou sou!
Dozens of arrows suddenly flew through the air, piercing into the body of the guard who was leading the way. Some of the arrows had pierced into his chest, some into his head, some into his legs and stomach. In the blink of an eye, a living person had turned into a hedgehog. He died without being able to say what he was going to say.
No arrows flew towards Xia Lei, and Xia Lei didn't even blink. To him, this sort of attack was no different from a flycatcher falling onto his body.
Shoot the guard who was leading the way. This was clearly a signal!
Xia Lei glanced at the guard on the ground, then walked towards the long couch hall.
"Halt!" A guard commander said in a stern voice, "This is the Changsha Palace. Without my king's permission, no one is allowed to approach it. Otherwise, we will kill them all without question!"
Xia Lei said indifferently: "The one who has come is the Dragon King. Without my protection and guard, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me in this tone?" His gaze swept past the palace guards who were standing in front of him. "And you, do you think you can still stand in front of me?"
A few of them revealed looks of guilt. They knew very clearly that without Xia Lei's protection, China would have already been conquered by the army of the dead. They would have become food for the dead!
Everyone understood this logic, but no one retreated.
"Who's that from outside?" King of Changsha's voice came out from the long couch hall.
Xia Lei raised his voice and said, "It's me, Dragon King."
"Aiya, so it's Old Dragon King. What business do you have?" King of Changsha's voice.
Xia Lei sneered, "King of Changsha, is there a need to pretend? I'm here to bring my wife and my wife's sister back. Don't tell me they're not here.
There was no sound from the Changsha Hall.
Xia Lei's eyes moved slightly, his gaze pierced through the human wall, immediately seeing the King of Changsha seated on the Throne. There was still a large group of black-robed guards guarding inside the palace. Even if it was a bird, it would be impossible to approach the King of Changsha!
After not seeing Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, Xia Lei's line of sight shifted to the ground and penetrated it. A small dungeon entered his line of sight. In the dungeon, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao were chained to two stone pillars with whip marks all over their bodies.
Princess Mingyue, Liu Mingyue, was also in the dungeon. She was holding a whip in her hand.
There were more than a dozen black clothed personal guards in the dungeon, some holding swords and sabers, some holding crossbows. They stood in a row, facing the entrance to the dungeon. Each and every one of them had their eyes fixed on the entrance to the dungeon, ready for him to rush in through it.
It was obvious that the King of Changsha and Liu Mingyue had already divided the tasks while he was rushing over. The King of Changsha was in charge of dealing with him and Liu Mingyue was personally in charge of guarding Daqiao, so that he would not have the slightest opportunity to take advantage of him.
Looking at the whipping scars on Daqiao's and her body, Xia Lei's heart ached for a long time. Why did someone always hurt such a kind and beautiful woman? After a heartache came anger, a monstrous rage!
Back then, when he had first met the King of Changsha and Liu Mingyue, he actually had some good impressions of them, which was why he had helped them on the battlefield. It was precisely because he had that little bit of good will that he had shown mercy and let King of Changsha and Liu Mingyue go when King of Changsha and Liu Mingyue had poisoned him. Now, he realized that he was wrong. The King of Changsha leading the troops onto the battlefield was merely a means to win over the hearts of the people and consolidate her position. As for Liu Mingyue, although she was noble and beautiful, she was a narrow-minded and poisonous woman!
There was only anger and hatred left in his heart!
"Dragon King." King of Changsha finally spoke out, "Since you already know about it, then I'll just say it directly. Daqiao is indeed in my hands, but I can't let you take them away. They are the generals of Changsha, and betrayal is a crime of nine familial extermination. For your sake, I will forgive them for the time being, but you must swear your allegiance to me and stay in Middle-earth and defend it. In the future, after you've accomplished a meritorious deed, I'll let them go and reunite with you. "
Xia Lei was silent for a moment, then said: "Alright, but I have a condition."
"You have no right to negotiate with me!" King of Changsha's voice was filled with anger and dignity.
Xia Lei's voice turned cold, "My conditions are very simple, you'd better listen to them." After a pause, he said, "I just want you to bring them out. I just need to take a look and confirm that they are still alive."
"And if I refuse?" King of Changsha's voice.
Suddenly, Xia Lei stepped on the ground with his foot, with a dull thumping sound, a crack immediately extended from his feet to the Changsha Hall, causing the entire palace to tremble! At that instant, his voice was like thunder, "If you don't agree, there won't be a single living person in this palace!"
"Dragon King, don't get angry." King of Changsha was still able to keep his cool, "I'll promise you then, but I have to remind you, do not think of saving them, otherwise my people will kill them and they will all die together!"
"I can promise you, I only want to see them once." Xia Lei's tone slowed down.
"Bring them up!" King of Changsha's voice.
Xia Lei's line of sight once again penetrated the ground and landed on the dungeon.
Inside the dungeon, Liu Mingyue, who had received the signal, waved her hand. "Give them medicine and take them out!"
The two guards held a bowl each and walked to the front of Daqiao and Xiaoqiao. The bowl was filled with a black liquid, which was obviously poison.
Liu Mingyue laughed coldly, "Xiaoqiao, you sure are lucky to have married an unrivaled hero. He is so powerful, and thanks to him, I must give you some Hundred Day Eclipse Powder. I am the only one who has the antidote for this poison, so even if he has the ability to clear the world, he still won't be able to save you. "
No wonder they dared to threaten him like this. The father and daughter pair had several insurance policies!
"Pfft!" Daqiao spat towards Liu Mingyue, and there was a bit of blood in her saliva. But unfortunately, before she could even land on Liu Mingyue's body, she fell to the ground.
"Give them medicine!" Liu Mingyue shouted.
The two guards pinched Daqiao's lower jaw and poured the poison from the bowl into their mouths.
"Liu Mingyue! You are a viper, you will die a horrible death! "Cough, cough ?" Daqiao coughed violently.
Xiaoqiao roared: When I see my husband, I will immediately beg for death, he will kill all of you!
"You want to die?" Liu Mingyue laughed coldly: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Your life and death will be controlled by me. If I want to be born that way, you will be born. I want you dead, all of you must die! Although your husband is powerful, he won't be able to escape death! "
"I curse you!" Xiaoqiao roared at Liu Mingyue, tears streaming down her face.
"Take them out! I'll come clean up after I see your husband! " Liu Mingyue sneered.
Xia Lei closed his eyes. He really could not bear to see the woman, who was about to become his wife, in such despair and grief. However, up until now, other than anger in his heart, he wasn't really worried about their safety. To him, even if Liu Mingyue fed them the so called "Hundred Day Eclipse Bone Powder", it would be nothing. His blood, and his Nai Yuanli s were the nemesis of all poisons. Even the corpse of Axis, who had lost its life force for ten million years, could be revived, let alone a mere poison from the three realms!
In fact, everything was still under his control.
After a while, the guards in front of the Changsha Palace parted to the sides, revealing a staircase that led to the main hall.
At this moment, Xia Lei and King of Changsha met face to face.
Xia Lei's expression was calm, without a hint of emotion on his face, terrifyingly calm.
King of Changsha calmly sat on the throne, looking confident and confident.
Although the King of Changsha was already equivalent to a dead man in Xia Lei's eyes, but looking at him from the perspective of a king, he had no choice but to admit that the King of Changsha was a genuine and outstanding emperor.
Daqiao and Xiaoqiao were brought to the great hall, the two sisters were carrying two blades on their necks, and there were even a few crossbows behind them. In this situation, as long as Xia Lei dared to make the slightest of movements, their blood would splash out to five steps!
"Husband!" Xiaoqiao cried in grief, "Hurry up and leave us alone! "Hurry up and leave!"
Xia Lei's eyes started to moisten. His voice was very gentle, "Xiaoqiao, don't worry, don't be afraid. With me here, you guys will be fine."
"No, you go! Hurry up and leave! " Xiaoqiao cried.
Daqiao also choked with sobs: Dragon, quickly leave this place, it's useless, they gave us poison, but you can't do it, let's go!1
Xia Lei did not move.
"Dragon King, did you hear that?" King of Changsha said calmly: "There is a secret poison in their bodies, only I have the antidote. So, I urge you to completely give up on the thought of saving them and to obediently carry out our agreement. "
Xia Lei's gaze moved towards King of Changsha.
King of Changsha's voice suddenly changed, her voice was imposing and domineering, "Now, give me an estimate, you have to swear loyalty to me!"
Xia Lei slowly kneeled down to the ground.
"No!" Xiaoqiao cried out, "Husband, don't!"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew into the Changsha Hall when Xia Lei knelt down. The power of the wind was so strong that it made it impossible for anyone to open their eyes. Those who were lighter were even sent flying into the air!
Right at the moment when the wind blew, Xia Lei twisted his legs and stepped on the ground, his body rushing towards the long sofa with the speed of a bullet!
