C232 It Was like the End of the World
Chu Feng's expression turned cold. "I'm afraid Ye Qing still doesn't know his true identity. He is. . . "
"Son of Misfortune, this official knows. "
Yeh Jianhan's expression did not change at all.
"You still want to save him after knowing?"
A trace of impatience flashed across Chu Feng's eyes. He changed the way he addressed him and said, "Could it be that Patriarch Yeh wants to go against the whole world?"
"This official wouldn't dare. " Although he said he did not dare, everyone could see the determination in his eyes. Obviously, he did not give up on his idea because Guxing was Son of Misfortune.
"Could it be that Yeh Guxing is from your Ye family?"
Chu Feng couldn't think of any other explanation. Judging from Yeh Jianhan's behavior, he couldn't be wrong. Otherwise, how could he let the patriarch of the Ye Family come here personally to plead for mercy? From this, he could tell that Yeh Guxing's status in the Yeh family must not be low.
Vaguely, Chu Feng recalled the shadow of Yeh Jianhan in Guxing's eyes. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. If he let Yeh Guxing go so easily. . . That Yeh Guxing was Son of Misfortune, wouldn't he abandon the entire world? If he didn't let them go, he would surely offend the Yeh family. If his guess was true, judging from the usual style of the Yeh family. . . They would never let him go. Chu Feng couldn't help but fall into a dilemma. Fortunately, Yeh Jianhan's next sentence broke all his concerns.
"Emperor, it's not like that. This official has never met him before. It can be said that we don't know each other. "
Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Yeh Jianhan continued, "Emperor might not believe it. That Yeh Guxing was once a great benefactor of the Yeh family who left a message for the Yeh family to protect him. The Yeh family has been waiting for this for five hundred years, and now, this official has finally arrived. Thus, this official dares to plead the Emperor to spare Yeh Guxing's life!"
"So that's how it is. Oh, speaking of this matter, I have heard a little about it. "
Hearing this, Chu Feng's expression finally eased up a little, but he still shook his head and said, "Beloved Minister Ye, it is not wrong for you to adhere to the ancestral teachings, but forgive me for not agreeing to it. After all, as the king, I cannot abandon the safety of the country. Ignore it. As for that Yeh Guxing, as Son of Misfortune, I believe you should know what kind of influence he will have in the future. "
Yeh Jianhan sighed and said, "This official naturally knows about this, but we can't go against the teachings of our ancestors. "
"Oh? Does this mean that Patriarch Yeh has made up his mind to save them?" Chu Feng's tone instantly turned cold. If that was really the case, then he could only attack Yeh Jianhan.
"Emperor has misunderstood. I won't hide it from Emperor. This official does have the intention to save him, but the prerequisite is that I won't save him from Emperor's hands. "
Yeh Jianhan said, "I wonder if Emperor can agree to one of my requests?"
Chu Feng said lightly, "Speak!"
Yeh Jianhan said, "No matter what, Yeh Guxing is after all the benefactor of the Ye family who had ordered him to protect someone, even if he is Son of Misfortune. The Yeh family can't just stand by and watch, so if the Emperor fails to stop Yeh Guxing this time, Yeh Jianhan said. This official hopes that the Emperor can take into account the competition between the Yeh family and the three big families outside the palace gates. Don't interfere. "
" You don't need to think about this matter. Today, Son of Misfortune will die for sure! " Chu Feng's tone was filled with determination.
"This official only said if. If the Emperor is unable to successfully retain Yeh Guxing this time, this official hopes that the Emperor will not interfere in the competition between the Yeh family and the Wind, Rain, and Xi families. "
Yeh Jianhan repeated.
"I have already said that Yeh Guxing will die today. How many more times do you want me to say it?"
Chu Feng's words clearly carried some anger.
Yeh Jianhan remained unmoved and said: "If the Emperor is unable to. . . "
"Enough!"
Chu Feng angrily interrupted him and helplessly said: "This is a private matter between you and has nothing to do with the royal family. I'll do as you say. That's right, you're not allowed to speak anymore! "
Yeh Jianhan hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank the Emperor for fulfilling my wish!"
"Hmph, don't be in such a hurry to thank me first. When he can survive this ordeal, it won't be too late for you to rejoice!"
Chu Feng snorted heavily and immediately turned his head away from him.
At this moment, Yeh Jianhan suddenly felt that the sound of thunder seemed to have become much softer. When he raised his head, he discovered that the dark clouds in the sky had disappeared without a trace at some point in time and were replaced by a clear sky that was ten thousand miles cloudless. It was just that the clear sky was too dazzling.
"Has the heavenly punishment ended? The heavens are finally willing to forgive us. May the heavens bless us!"
Among the crowd, someone immediately knelt down and piously kowtowed.
However, they didn't know that Chu Feng and the others' expressions had already become incomparably solemn. They stared at the clear sky and felt that something was wrong. It seemed to be giving off a strange feeling.
"Not good, retreat quickly!"
Suddenly, Dou Tianlai received some kind of stimulation. He picked up Chu Rouer, who was still in a daze, and turned around to escape. Chu Feng and the others seemed to have noticed something as well. An indescribable fear appeared on his face and he said, "It's too late. Quickly retreat! Everyone retreat! "
"Boom! Boom! "
A bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain streaked across the sky, and immediately after, the sky was filled with violent lightning. It was as if a sea of silver snakes had drifted over, and the lightning and dark clouds that had disappeared had actually reappeared in an instant.
"Boom!"
Finally, a bolt of lightning with the momentum of ten thousand men was the first to strike the ground. With a loud bang, a huge crater with a diameter of about ten meters was created on the ground that was paved with extremely hard rocks. And it was as if a fuse had been lit, and all of the lightning was no longer streaking across the sky. They all struck at the ground where Guxing was. The lightning was as thick as a mountain. The smallest one was as thin as a hundred-year-old tree, and there were more than a thousand of them in a short period of time.
"Heavens! What did I just see!? What is that!? "
This terrified voice came from one of the four guards.
As for the rest of the people, they fell to their knees powerlessly, their eyes filled with dead ashes.
"We are finished. The heavenly might is going to destroy the world. None of us can survive. . . "
Only now did everyone painfully understand that it was not a clear sky that spanned tens of thousands of miles just now. It was clearly that countless bolts of lightning had intersected and formed a huge net that could cover the sky. It caused the entire world to only be left with white light.
Chu Feng was full of regret. He hated himself for not giving the order to retreat. If he was struck by thousands of lightning bolts at the same time, the entire palace would no longer exist.
Of course, Guxing was the one who was under the greatest pressure, because those lightning bolts were aimed at him. At this moment, all the hair on his body stood up due to the lightning. From afar, he looked like a hedgehog that was standing up, but even so, he still didn't give in.
"Haha, looking at the past and present, in the future, who else can die more magnificently than me? It's worth it! The villainous heaven, let's end this completely! The 12th style of the Ancient Chaotic Sword Arts. Second form of the Ancient Chaotic Sword Arts, Thunder Infinite Equal! "
As he spoke, he shook his long sword and was about to unleash the twelfth style, Myriad Thunder, to fight against the heavenly might. However, the speed of the heavenly lightning had drowned him in an instant.
