Chapter 241

"Ziyu, you must not let Us down!"

Ying Zheng thought to himself.

In their last few conversations, he had intentionally or unintentionally asked about Ying Ziyu's views on the Net.

This was to see if Ying Ziyu had the qualifications to master the Net.

After several conversations, Ying Zheng was already certain.

Ying Ziyu was highly qualified!

Today, Ying Zheng wanted to see how Ying Ziyu would handle Zhao Gao.

Even if Ying Ziyu killed Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng would not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

At this moment, outside the Imperial Study.

Zhao Gao watched Ying Ziyu approaching slowly, his face changing wildly with madness.

He sensed the killing intent released from Ying Ziyu's body.

"Ninth Young Master, what are you doing?"

"This is the Imperial Study, and this servant is the Prefect of the Carriage Office of the Great Qin Imperial Court."

"If you dare to act recklessly, are you not afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Zhao Gao said hurriedly.

Unable to win in a fight, he could only say such things to intimidate Ying Ziyu.

He hoped he could show some restraint.

"Punishment?"

"Compared to His Majesty's punishment."

"The face of our Great Qin is more important."

"If His Majesty does not punish you, that is His Majesty's business."

"As a Prince of Great Qin, I must uphold the dignity of Great Qin."

"You have done things that damage the dignity of Great Qin, so even if I am punished, I must take action!"

As soon as the words fell, Ying Ziyu struck decisively.

Internal energy gathered into a blade in his hand.

The sharp Qi blade tore through space, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

The guards protecting the Imperial Study trembled subconsciously in fear.

Gripping their weapons tightly, their palms were covered in sweat.

When had they ever seen such terrifying momentum?

The mere condensed Qi blade was enough to make people feel suffocated.

In front of such a powerhouse, the guards felt they could only be slaughtered.

"Ninth Young Master, it is not too late to stop now!"

Zhao Gao said, gritting his teeth.

At this moment, he felt like prey about to be devoured by a wild beast at any time.

Facing Ying Ziyu's Qi blade, Zhao Gao had no confidence in blocking it at all.

This was the gap between strengths.

Nothing could make up for it.

"Die!"

Ying Ziyu raised the Qi blade and thrust it forward directly.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the entire Xianyanggong shook violently, and the temperature of the originally cold day plummeted.

In the blink of an eye, goose-feather snow drifted down from the sky.

It soon covered the entire ground.

Xianyanggong became wrapped in silver, looking exceptionally enchanting.

Yet, under such scenery, murderous intent had already risen in the Imperial Study.

The Qi blade pierced through snowflakes, carrying an extremely cold temperature, causing the shattered snowflakes to turn into ice crystals and fall to the ground.

Ying Ziyu's strike this time was very decisive, with not the slightest hesitation in his heart.

He was determined to kill Zhao Gao.

Previously, one link in Ying Ziyu's plan still required Zhao Gao to complete.

To be precise, it was not that he needed Zhao Gao, but that he needed the Net.

However, after today's conversation, Ying Ziyu knew that Ying Zheng wanted him to be the leader of the Net.

This was not Ying Ziyu's intuition or guess.

It was the answer analyzed through various conversations with Ying Zheng.

Since he already knew this would inevitably happen, there was no need for Zhao Gao to live; he would just kill him directly.

Once he became the leader of the Net, Ying Ziyu could arrange things however he wanted.

The cold air emitted by the Qi blade hit Zhao Gao's face.

It turned into a layer of frost.

Zhao Gao shook his body and recovered from his shock.

Watching Ying Ziyu's attack getting closer, even though Zhao Gao knew he was no match, he still had to resist.

He did not know why Ying Ziyu had suddenly attacked him.

But, being able to become the leader of the Net, Zhao Gao was definitely not someone who would sit and wait for death.

His hands were instantly covered in black-red internal energy, looking incomparably evil.

Zhao Gao screamed and used everything he had learned in his life.

"Claw of the Great Black Heaven!"

Zhao Gao's expression was extremely ferocious as his hands swung violently toward the front.

A pair of huge black-red claws attacked in the direction of Ying Ziyu.

Ying Ziyu watched Zhao Gao's attack, his expression unchanged, and he tapped the Qi blade lightly.

The black-red giant claws shattered instantly, turning into star-like fragments that scattered into the sky full of snow.

The next second, the Qi blade quickly slashed across Zhao Gao's neck.

His head flew directly into the sky.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the white snow on the ground red.

The snowflakes in the sky mixed with the blood droplets, turning into red snow filling the sky.

When these blood droplets drifted down, they were directly deflected when they came within an inch of Ying Ziyu.

Ying Ziyu would not let snow stained with Zhao Gao's blood fall on him.

He found Zhao Gao's blood dirty!

After killing Zhao Gao, Ying Ziyu did not leave immediately.

Instead, he returned to the front of the Imperial Study and said to the guards: "Go, report the situation truthfully to His Majesty!"

As an Earth Immortal, killing a Grandmaster did not take the slightest effort.

Ying Ziyu himself had no consumption at all.

He hadn't even used much internal energy.

Killing Zhao Gao was simply too easy for Ying Ziyu.

The guard was also frightened; he had never seen anyone kill someone in front of the Imperial Study.

For a moment, he didn't react.

"As you command, as you command!"

The guard didn't daze for long and said hurriedly.

He dared not provoke Ying Ziyu now, in case he got killed.

Who would he go to for justice then?

Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, who had been watching the situation from the shadows, laughed out loud upon seeing Ying Ziyu's actions.

"This is the spirit a Great Qin Prince should have!"

"A mere eunuch, killed is killed."

Bai Qi said with a smile.
