Chapter 1661

His speed was extremely fast, and in an instant he appeared right before the Nine Nether King.

The Nine Nether King never expected it.

His own brother would stab him in the back.

He watched helplessly as the opponent brought down his sword.

"Splat!"

The sharp blade landed upon his head.

In an instant, his skull flew upward.

Blood gushed out.

In the Nine Nether King's eyes was utter disbelief.

He never imagined he would perish within this Yangcheng.

Yet this scene was seen by all who watched from around.

In an instant, the death of the Nine Nether King caused the morale of the army to plummet.

Some even wanted to flee.

But none dared to move.

The Yangcheng King's power was far too great.

If they fled, it would surely mean death.

They could only wait for his judgment.

And at this moment, on the city wall, Ximen Wudi.

Slowly sat down upon his chair.

Then he spoke.

"Zhuge Liang, attend!"

"Your servant is here!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhuge Liang respectfully replied.

"You will lead three thousand Long Xiang Legion troops to suppress the traitors.

Anyone who disobeys shall be executed!"

"Your general obeys!"

As his words ended, his figure flashed away and withdrew.

Clearly, he was preparing to carry out Ximen Wudi's order.

"Nine Yin King, lead the others to escort the Yangcheng King's family to the Governor's Mansion.

Remember, be careful—these bastards are all madmen!"

Even as he died, the Yangcheng King warned the Nine Yin King.

Made the other's eyes moist.

These brothers could truly be called bound by fate.

Now, only he remained.

Yet he understood that in this situation, only by holding on could he find a way to survive.

Thus he spoke.

"Yes, elder brother!"

After speaking, he withdrew.

This Yangcheng King had a resolute character.

Having chosen to join Ximen Wudi, he would never turn back.

He only hoped his years of effort had not betrayed the other.

At this moment, the Yangcheng King's face showed a hint of sorrow.

But the next instant, he regained composure.

After all, he knew he could do nothing now.

He could only leave it to fate.

And at this moment, the Nine Yin King's figure had already arrived outside the Yangcheng King's mansion.

At this time, his face bore a look of grief.

The guards at the gate, upon sensing the heavy aura of slaughter on him, immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty!"

"Where is Father? I must see Father!"

The Nine Yin King cried out.

"The old King is dead!"

The guard wept.

Meanwhile, the Nine Yin King collapsed onto the ground.

"Ha! Yangcheng, I'll kill your son first, then take your life.

Let you father and son reunite!"

Watching the Nine Yin King, the Nine Nether King laughed triumphantly.

His eyes glowed with venomous hatred.

Then, with a wave of his hand, endless cavalry charged once more toward the city walls.

Just then, however—

A figure stepped in front of the Nine Nether King.

It was none other than the Nine Yang King's chief disciple.

He was the commander of the Han army, second only to Cao Zhengchun.

Now that he had appeared, he naturally would not let these rebels succeed.

"Boom!"

He struck out with a palm; vast energy surged out in an instant.

The guards beside the Nine Nether King were blasted apart on the spot.

Then he said coldly,

"You rebels deserve death!"

After the words fell—

His palm, in the blink of an eye, became as though cast in bronze and iron, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

He stepped forward and seized the Nine Nether King directly.

Caught off guard, the man was pinned in his grip.

And in the Nine Nether King's eyes, a look of unwillingness appeared.

But the Nine Yin King, at this moment, could spare no thought for him, and hurried straight toward the Nine Yang King's City Lord's residence.

A moment later—

When he arrived outside the great hall—

He was blocked from entering.

"Who are you!"

Staring at the Han soldiers barring his way,

the Nine Yin King barked fiercely.

"Hmph. I am the commander personally appointed by Your Majesty to garrison this place.

Without orders, any trespasser dies!"

Hearing his voice, the Nine Yang King's followers did not dare delay.

They immediately closed in around him.

"Boom!"

Wave after wave of thunderous roars rang out.
