Chapter 789: Only half an inch away

Zhao Zhao Qiyue wanted to struggle to help.

But he felt the spiritual power in his dantian dissipating.

His whole person became extremely withered.

And at this moment.

Zhao Xing let out an angry roar.

Then, he actually pounced toward Zhao Zhao Qiyue.

"Get away!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhao Qiyue was at the end of his rope.

Looking at the incoming Zhao Xing, he didn't even have the courage to resist.

He roared at the top of his lungs.

But, just as the dagger was only half an inch away from him.

A bloodthirsty light appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Then, he slashed with his sword.

In an instant, Zhao Zhao Qiyue's head fell to the ground.

Such a thing caused Zhao Zhao Qingyang's pupils to constrict.

Then, he said angrily.

"You actually dared to kill your own brother.

Just you wait, I will definitely report this to the Princess!"

After the voice fell, he prepared to escape.

However, Zhao Xing would not let him leave easily.

His figure flickered.

The sharp blade in his hand slashed across the air.

The blazing sword light seemed as if it would destroy the heavens and earth.

Zhao Zhao Qingyang's head flew up instantly.

Immediately after, his corpse fell to the ground.

A generation of heroes had fallen just like that.

And after seeing this scene.

The other guards dared not stay.

They turned and ran.

Zhao Xing did not pursue.

Because he, too, needed to heal his wounds.

"Zhao Zhao Qiyue, do you know your crime!"

Just as he returned to the hall, Liu Zheng's indifferent voice came out.

Zhao Zhao Qiyue dared not hide anything and knelt on the ground, saying.

"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to accept punishment.

I only ask that Your Majesty spare the people of my family!"

His voice rang out, his eyes moist, looking pitiful.

"I can spare the people of your family.

But what about you?

How can I be sure that you will be loyal to Me forever!"

The voice was extremely cold.

Upon hearing this, a look of gloom appeared in Zhao Zhao Qiyue's eyes.

Zhao Xing's meaning was very clear.

He dared not refuse.

After all, Zhao Xing was his only way to survive now.

Then, he said.

"From now on, this subject is willing to go through fire and water for the Great Han!"

The voice carried a respectful tone.

"Hmm, since that is the case, then withdraw.

Regardless of whether you are loyal to the Great Han or not.

Just remember, before doing anything, think about the Zhao family behind you!"

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhao Qiyue said respectfully.

And just after his words fell, he prepared to exit the hall.

However, at this moment.

A loud noise came from the entrance.

It was the gate of the Prince's Mansion being kicked to pieces.

"Haha, this Zhao Zhao Qingyang really thought that by finding a backer, he could do whatever he wanted.

Now it's good, this backer has been killed. Today, let's see what you have to resist my army. My Zhao Family Army can dominate the Northern Plains, no one can stop us!" Zhao Xing said.

The voice was filled with arrogance and pleasure.

Zhao Zhao Qingyang knew in his heart that this time, he was finished.

The Zhao Family Army had a full 200,000 troops, and every soldier practiced martial arts that were extremely suitable for combat.

They were simply not something his Iron Armor Guards could rival.

But even so, he still stood on the city tower.

Looking at the Prince Zhao Xing, he shouted.

"Zhao Xing, what do you want!"

The voice carried a thick chill.

And Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"Zhao Zhao Qingyang, I'll give you two paths now.

The first is to obediently submit to me and work for me in the future.

The second is that I kill you and then inherit all your assets.

Decide for yourself how you want to choose.

It won't take long before my Zhao family's army tramples your city!"

Zhao Xing said coldly.

"Haha, don't even think about it. Even if I Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Die, I won't let you succeed.

Today, even if I Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Die, I am not afraid!"

The voice carried a hint of shrillness.

Then, his body leaped directly off the city wall.

Charging toward Zhao Xing.

At this moment, vast primordial energy surged around his body.

An astonishing momentum erupted from his entire person.

Zhao Zhao Qingyang's attack was incredibly swift.

His palm turned into a claw, reaching toward Zhao Xing.

His sharp nails shimmered with a ghostly light.

Causing Zhao Xing's face to reveal a look of horror.

Then, the opponent's fist slammed into his shoulder.

Strong energy gusts burst forth.

Zhao Xing's body was smashed toward the rear.

However, he still disregarded everything.

Charging toward Zhao Xing again.

But, at this very moment.

Another Zhao family retainer greeted him.

He held a sharp blade and slammed fiercely into Zhao Zhao Qingyang.

Causing the opponent to freeze, and then he dodged toward the rear.

This time, he was ultimately too late...

The retainer's sharp blade swept past.

The sharp edge went straight into Zhao Zhao Qingyang's chest.

He widened his eyes, wanting to speak, but finally, blood gushed from his throat.

Following a loud bang.

Zhao Zhao Qingyang's figure fell completely to the ground.

At this moment, there was not a trace of life left.

Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

This Zhao Zhao Qingyang was far too troublesome.

If he hadn't made a move himself, he feared he wouldn't have been able to resolve the opponent.

"You did well, I reward you with five hundred spirit stones!"

Just after Zhao Zhao Qingyang's death.

Liu Zheng's voice rang out at this moment.

A look of excitement appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Five hundred spirit stones.

For ordinary people, these things could buy a lot of food and medicinal herbs.

At the same time, more importantly, they could be exchanged for higher-level cultivation techniques.

This was the most important thing.

He immediately said respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Withdraw!"

Then, he slowly retreated.

This time, it could be said that the harvest was huge.

Not only did he successfully annihilate the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.

But more importantly, Zhao Zhao Qiyue became his loyal subordinate.

Although he was not entirely satisfied with this result.

However, Liu Zheng could only do this.

If Zhao Zhao Qiyue were allowed to regain his freedom, the other party would definitely defect to Zhao Xing.

Or even betray the Great Han.

The current situation was what he most hoped to see.

As for Zhao Xing, he did not know any of this.

His face revealed a look of wild joy.

The Zhao Family Army had another army.

Thinking of this, how could he not be excited?

At this moment, he prepared to gather the army and attack the Imperial City.

And just after his figure left.

A trace of venom flashed in Zhao Zhao Qiyue's eyes.

Then, he began to investigate the cause of his son's death.

However, at this time, Zhao Zhao Qingyang had already been killed.

No one would tell him the truth.

He only knew that Zhao Zhao Qingyang was killed by an assassin sent by Liu Zheng.

But he did not know exactly who it was.

This made Zhao Xing's anger rise.

But he was helpless.

Because Zhao Zhao Qingyang was an anomaly in the Great Han.

The opponent's father was the head of the Zhao family and also a person from the Northern Plains.

But he had colluded with the Northern Plains royal family.

Leading to the rise of the Great Han...
