Chapter 345

"Boom!"

As the orders were issued, the guards in the palace filed out one after another.

The solemn aura, the monstrous killing intent, and the overcast sky made people feel oppressed to the point of madness!

In the blink of an eye.

The guards stood in order behind the members of the Cui clan.

Their backs were straight, and they gripped their sword hilts tightly.

This was the posture of executioners!

Anyone could see what they were about to do.

Under the gloomy sky.

Heads were bobbing.

Everyone held their breath, afraid to make even the slightest sound.

In the eyes of these commoners, the Cui clan members were an insurmountable mountain above their heads.

As long as they were born on this land, they would be trampled underfoot by them for generations.

That innate fear made everything before their eyes seem so unreal.

Like a dream!

"Does he really dare to kill the Cui clan?"

Li Er's palms were already soaked through.

Even at this very moment, he still found it hard to believe.

Shackles that could not be broken.

Even though Li Cunxiao had read the imperial decree in public, and even though this matter was already a settled conclusion.

The Handu Cui clan, while not as powerful as the Great Tang's premier clan, the Boling Cui clan, was still a regional hegemon in Yizhou for hundreds of years.

Their roots were deep, and their background was intricately complex.

If they were eradicated, what kind of consequences would it trigger?

At the thought of this, Li Er felt a chill down his spine.

Were the noble clans not also a shackle pressing down on his own head?

No!

Until I see heads roll, I absolutely will not believe it!

"Everyone, prepare!"

"Clang!"

The uniform action of drawing swords was executed without the slightest hesitation.

The cold glint of the blades seemed to have frozen into ice, causing the surroundings to congeal into a bone-chilling cold!

"What are you doing! What are you doing?"

"Let me go!"

"We are the Cui clan, the number one clan in the Central Plains! If you kill us, have you thought about the consequences?" The Cui clan members kneeling on the ground completely broke down; they cried, roared, and struggled. But it was all too late.

"Kill!"

Following the single word spat out by Li Cunxiao, all the guards raised their hands and brought down their blades simultaneously.

"No!!!"

The Cui clan members' eyes were split with rage, and they used all their strength to scream frantically.

That unique desire for survival and sense of despair before death was like a pair of giant hands, tightly gripping the heart of everyone present.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

In an instant.

Six hundred and thirteen heads rolled to the ground.

The bright red blood flowed slowly, gradually gathering into a small red river, spreading to everyone's feet.

Tens of thousands of commoners stared blankly at this scene, already unable to express the shock in their hearts.

At this moment!

In this place!

It was a living hell!

Li Er and Fang Xuanling were stunned on the spot, almost forgetting where they were, seeing only blood staining their eyes red.
