The capital of Qin, Xianyang,
Xianyang Palace.
The civil and military officials gathered in the court.
The leader of the court was Prime Minister Lu Buwei!
As for the King of Qin?
Lu Buwei had long since taken over his position.
Lu Buwei was in charge of the net, and he had top-notch experts like Masked Sun and Xuan Jian under him. All the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to disobey his words and actions.
It could be seen that…
Lu Buwei's power could be said to be overwhelming.
With an order,
All the officials dared not disobey.
Lu Buwei's orders were absolute in the entire court.
The King of Qin?
It was just an empty shell.
"I wonder why the Prime Minister suddenly gathered all the officials in Xianyang Palace? Is there anything you need to discuss?"
An official asked weakly.
Among the officials,
Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other famous generals of the State of Qin stood tall and mighty, not angry and dignified.
They were one of the few generals who were not affected by Lu Buwei.
Of course.
Lu Buwei was so powerful that even the famous general of the State of Qin, Wang Jian, had no choice but to give in.
"Everyone, do you know…"
"Our Prince Ying Zheng has already fled the State of Zhao and is about to return to the State of Qin.”
Lu Buwei said.
He was wearing an official robe, and his eyes were very deep. His face was covered in wrinkles, and his entire body gave off a powerful aura that made the officials not dare to look directly into his sharp eyes.
"Your Highness has escaped from the State of Zhao?"
"This…"
The officials discussed.
At this moment,
A duck's voice came from outside the palace.
"Report!"
"His Highness Ying Zheng has returned from outside the palace ~"
The voice fell.
The entire imperial court was in an uproar.
All the officials were whispering to each other, their eyes fixed on Lu Buwei at the same time, as if they were all curious about how Lu Buwei would deal with His Highness Ying Zheng, who had just returned from the State of Zhao.
After all.
Lu Buwei's power was known to all.
And once Ying Zheng, the rightful heir of the Qin State, returned, he would definitely have conflicts and disputes with Lu Buwei.
At that time,
It might cause all the civil and military officials in the court to take sides!
After a while,
All the officials in the court saw…
A young man with a sword on his back stepped into Xianyang Palace.
Beside him,
There was also a swordsman who was also young. He had a reserved edge, but he had a threatening spirit.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The civil and military officials were rather familiar with Ying Zheng, so they immediately cupped their fists and bowed to him.
Ying Zheng, who had stepped into the Palace of Xianyang, carried the Qin Emperor's Sword on his back, and brought Ge Nie to the center of the court. He faced the contemptuous gazes of all the officials and ministers in the court, and his expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.
He had just returned from the State of Zhao to the State of Qin, so naturally, Ying Zheng had no power at all.
No official would stand on his side.
Ying Zheng had long known about this, and had expected it, so he was not surprised.
"Your Highness doesn't seem to be simple ~"
"He seems to have a plan…"
"What gives him such confidence?”
"He clearly just got rid of his status as a hostage and returned to the State of Qin. Who gave him the confidence to dare barge into the Imperial Court and still maintain such an indifferent attitude?”
"Who doesn't know that Lu Buwei holds great power in the imperial court? Now that His Highness had returned so suddenly, he was afraid that it was filled with danger.”
"Could it be that Your Highness doesn't understand the situation? That's why he acted so fearless?"
Wang Jian and Meng Wu narrowed their eyes slightly as they thought to themselves.
Under everyone's watchful eyes,
Expressionless, Ying Zheng stared at Lu Buwei coldly.
Then,
"How dare you, Lu Buwei! Why didn't you greet me? In your eyes, do you still have me, the eldest son of the State of Qin?”
These words silenced the entire court.
There was complete silence.
None of the officials had expected this.
His Highness Ying Zheng, the hostage who had just returned, had taken the initiative to attack Lu Buwei without any hesitation.
They could not figure it out.
Where did His Highness get his courage and confidence from?
That was Lu Buwei, the man with the most power in the country!
Even the King of Qin did not dare to provoke him.
" Isn't Your Highness too reckless?"
"You've just returned to Xianyang Palace, and you dare to reprimand Lu Buwei to his face?”
"How dare you."
"Looks like this highness will have to suffer greatly in the future days in the Qin country.”
"With Lu Buwei's means, he will definitely not let His Highness Ying Zheng off easily.”
“……”
The officials discussed in hushed voices.
Wang Jian and Meng Wu were silently speechless.
Even if they were more inclined to the orthodox bloodline of His Highness Ying Zheng. However, in the face of Ying Zheng's sudden attack on Lu Buwei, neither of them dared to step out to help.
"Too reckless!"
The two of them looked extremely helpless.
At this moment,
Being reprimanded by Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei felt that he had lost his face.
He was slightly annoyed, and looked at Ying Zheng coldly.
Over the years,
This was the first time someone had dared to reprimand him in court!
In this regard,
Of course, Lu Buwei was furious.
Therefore,
He quickly gave a solemn order to his subordinates beside him,"Men! His Highness had come back from a long distance, and he was clearly lacking in spirit. Immediately send His Highness out of the palace to rest, lest His Highness speak nonsense in the court due to mental disorder.”
The officials in the court did not dare to make a sound.
"Let's see who dares to move!" Ying Zheng sneered.”
"Men!"
Lu Buwei shouted angrily.
"Lord Prime Minister…"
"You're old ~"
"All these years, you've been in power and enjoyed the treatment of a country's ruler.”
"And now, it's time for you to pull down the curtain.”
"Your life is not in vain."
Ying Zheng was expressionless.
Then,
He continued," Today, let me personally send you on your way! You should make way for the young man. From now on, the entire Qin country will respect me as their master!”
Hearing this,
Lu Buwei was instantly enraged.
"How dare you!"
"Your Highness, this old man respects you as the Eldest Young Master of the State of Qin, so I'm trying to persuade you nicely.”
"Unexpectedly…"
"You actually have unfathomable intentions."
"Someone come!"
"Bring His Highness away immediately!”
His face was ashen and his heart was burning with anger.
If he did not punish Ying Zheng severely,
How could he, Lu Buwei, have any face left?
He had already made up his mind.
He must teach Ying Zheng a good lesson!
"Young master, do you need me to help?”
Seeing the approaching Qin guards, Ge Nia, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, could not help but ask.
"No need ~"
"Just nice…"
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
His eyes were filled with anticipation." I want to experience it for myself. How powerful is the Qin Emperor's Sword, an immortal artifact bestowed upon me by a Shangxian?”
"Today is the day it is unsheathed!”
"It can also be considered the moment when it officially makes its appearance to the world.”
He raised his head.
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei.
"Minister, have you ever seen the power of the immortal sword?" he sighed faintly.”
"Nonsense!"
Lu Buwei snorted coldly.
"Today, you will feel the power of the celestial sword.”
"As the most…"
"The first person to experience the power of the immortal sword can die in peace.”
Ying Zheng slowly took out the Qin Emperor's Sword on his back.
"Ridiculous!"
"You think you can kill me?"
"Ridiculous!"
Lu Buwei scoffed.
Since they had shed all pretense of cordiality…
He didn't have to put on an act anymore.
"Then let's give it a try ~"
Ying Zheng held the Qin Emperor Sword in his hand.
Then,
He was facing Lu Buwei, who was about ten meters away.
The sword slashed down.
The seemingly light sword strike…
He aimed at Lu Buwei from afar.
In an instant,
Boom!
An incomparably terrifying sword qi soared into the sky in an instant.
The sword qi soared into the clouds.
I want to pierce through the sky,
Shaking the universe!
A dazzling halo of sword Qi, carrying a billionth of the power of the Qin Emperor Sword, burst out from the blade along with Ying Zheng's movements.
Even if it was a sword qi produced by a trillionth of a wisp of power…
However, the moment the sword qi erupted…
It was still enough to shake the world.
It caused the void to rumble.
Space shattered.
The void collapsed.
It was visible to the naked eye…
The space was directly cut apart by this wisp of sword qi!
Weng!
Weng!
More and more cracks appeared in the distorted space, like a spider web, like broken glass. The cracks were densely packed, making one's hair stand on end.
The terrifying pressure released by a wisp of sword qi instantly swept over ten thousand miles.
Countless living beings trembled.
The birds and beasts knelt down in fear.
This wisp of sword Qi contained enough power to destroy the world.
It faintly shattered the laws of heaven and earth.
Even the entire world was forcefully shaken!
At this moment,
All the civil and military officials in the imperial court were paralyzed on the ground without exception, staring at Ying Zheng, who was holding the Qin Emperor's Sword in his hand, with fear, shock, and astonishment on their faces.
"This, this is…"
In the end-
The Sword Qi that was about to pierce the sky flew past Lu Buwei's body at a speed faster than light.
Lu Buwei was unable to react.
Puff!
The sword Qi split Lu Buwei in half.
In the next second.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The blood droplets were thrown into the air, like goose feathers falling down.
Blood stained the sky.
At the same time.
The power of the sword Qi had not dissipated. It came from Lu Buwei's corpse and went all the way to Xianyang Palace, leaving a hideous abyss in the ground.
Kacha!
Kacha!
The ground cracked.
The earth shattered.
Boom!
A shocking explosion sounded.
Like thunder piercing my ears,
It resounded through the clouds.
Only to see.
The entire Xianyang Palace had been split open by this wisp of Sword Qi!
The Xianyang Palace cracked…
Furthermore,
There was also a terrifying abyss crack that was tens of thousands of meters deep and bottomless.
The remaining sword Qi intertwined with each other, distorting space and shattering the void.
He took a closer look.
With just a wisp of Sword Qi!
From the center,
It forcefully split Xianyang Palace into two!
