Late at night.
In Luoyang's Imperial Palace.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the pure white moonlight shone on the ground.
Because it was already late at night, the originally lively palace became very quiet at this moment.
In the royal study, Yang Hao was reading through the memorials, looking very serious.
At this moment, a eunuch carrying a lantern came to the door of the royal study and whispered,""Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should rest.”
"Alright, you don't have to wait here for me to go to bed. You can go and rest first."”
The eunuch did not dare to move.
After all, the eunuchs had always waited for the Emperor to fall asleep before they could go to rest. They had never left the Emperor behind to rest first.
Seeing the eunuch standing still, Yang Hao's expression became serious. He scolded,"Why are you still standing there like a block of wood?”
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Go down and rest. Don't wander around in front of zhen.”
The eunuch could only nod at the Emperor's order, then bow his body and retreat out of the royal study.
Immediately, only Yang Hao was left in the entire royal study.
After a while, Yang Hao noticed a strange phenomenon.
Because according to the eunuch's walking speed, there should still be some faint footsteps at this time, but he could not hear them.
The footsteps stopped abruptly.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the royal study.
This person was dressed in dark blue cotton clothes, and there was a dark red ribbon on his forehead. There was a scar on his cheek, and his eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent.
After Yang Hao noticed this person, he slowly put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile,"It seems that you have already killed my eunuchs and guards.”
"He even entangled my imperial guard, White Fox.”
As a martial artist at the Land Immortal Realm, Yang Hao's vigilance was very terrifying. He instantly sensed the killing intent released by the person in front of him.
To possess such a strong killing aura, this person must be a top-notch assassin who had killed countless people.
That person didn't say a word and continued to walk towards Yang Hao.
Weng!
At this moment, the longsword in the man's hand was removed from his back.
It was a black longsword.
When Yang Hao saw the appearance of the man in front of him and the long sword in his hand, he immediately knew who he was.
It was the Black and White Profound Jian of the Network's Heaven Grade First-Class Assassins.
" Hmph!" Yang Hao snorted coldly." As expected of a first-class assassin from the Network. You can actually escape the layers of guards inside and outside my palace so easily."”
"The Great Qin Empire's assassin organization has actually extended their hands into our Great Sui Empire. The ambitions of the Network are really big.”
"Xuan Jian, tell me, why did you come to assassinate Zhen?”
"Also, where are the others from the Eight Petites? Let them come out together.”
When the calm and cold Black and White Profound Swordsman heard these words, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
His originally determined eyes flickered with surprise.
He did not expect that the Great Sui Emperor in front of him would know his name and the existence of the Eight Petites.
This point made Xuan Jian and the members of the Eight Petites in the dark somewhat confused.
After all, the Network had never been active in the Great Sui Dynasty, and this operation was very confidential.
However, how could the Emperor of Great Sui reveal their identities so clearly?
Weng!
At this moment, another black figure appeared beside Xuan Jian and said,"Things are not good. How did the emperor know our identity? Could it be that he already knew about this operation?”
"There's no time to lose. We have to act as soon as possible.”
Xuan Jian laughed coldly and said," So what if I know? Today, the life of the Great Sui Emperor is mine."”
Clang!
All of a sudden, the long sword in Xuan Jian's hand was unsheathed, bringing with it a black murderous aura that swept in all directions.
Wei Zhuang, White Phoenix, and Chi Lian landed on a roof outside the royal study. Their eyes were fixed on the royal study.
They could already feel the killing intent that Xuan Jian released.
"It seems that Xuan Jian is about to succeed."”
"The fate of the Great Sui Emperor will end here.”
"Why would this Network Organization come to assassinate the Emperor of Great Sui?" Chi Lian asked.”
"Could it be that there's a grudge between them?”
"Worry?" Wei Zhuang asked.
"The Great Qin Empire and the Great Sui Empire have always minded their own business.”
"Perhaps, our Qin Emperor has begun to carry out his plan to conquer the Land of the Nine Prefectures.”
In the royal study.
Xuan Jian gave a cold humph. The long sword in his hand flashed with a blood-colored sword light under the candlelight before he attacked.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Jian's sword qi had already arrived in front of Yang Hao. His speed was as fast as lightning.
Qian Sha and Granny Kun smiled, feeling that this mission could be completed easily.
But just as Xuan Jian's black sword was in close proximity, it was tightly clamped by Yang Hao's two fingers. A terrifying true energy undulated and instantly swallowed the killing intent around Xuan Jian.
Xuan Jian was completely scared silly by this scene. He exclaimed,"This, how is this possible!"
The scene of Yang Hao catching the Black Blade with two fingers seemed to freeze the entire space in the royal study.
Qian Sha and Granny Kun were dumbfounded. Their pupils constricted as they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"How, how is this possible!"
"This Emperor can actually receive Lord Xuan Jian's life seeking blade with two fingers!”
In a moment of desperation, Xuan Jian once again erupted with a wave of true energy, wanting to pull out the black blade with force.
Seeing this, Yang Hao sneered,"You want to assassinate me with your little ability? It's simply a fantasy."”
As he spoke, Yang Hao flicked his finger. The internal strength of the Land Immortal Realm formed a terrifying force that sent Xuan Jian flying.
At the same time, the black blade flew out and heavily stabbed in front of Xuan Jian.
"The direct blade seeks death, and the reverse blade suppresses the soul," Yang Hao said.”
"Xuan Jian, this one will give you another chance today. Let's see if you can move this one's body away from the chair.”
Yang Hao's words were like killing someone.
Xuan Jian clutched his chest and slowly got up. He pulled out the black blade on the ground with all his might and at the same time, he also took out the white blade behind him.
Qian Sha and Granny Kun were standing together with Xuan Jian at this moment.
Granny Kun said," Lord Xuan Jian, this Emperor's martial arts is hidden deep and hidden. We have to attack together."”
After saying that, the three of them used all their strength to draw three figures and quickly charged towards Yang Hao.
Yang Hao sat on the spot, unmoving. When the three of them charged at him at the same time, a protective aura barrier erupted from his body, forming a defensive barrier.
When the attacks of Xuan Jian trio hit the protective qi barrier, they were counterattacked by the powerful true qi.
He was immediately sent flying.
Granny Kun and Qian Sha's cultivation was low, so they could not block Yang Hao's attack at all. Their bodies directly shattered the window of the royal study and fell heavily out of it.
Blood flowed out of their seven orifices, and their internal organs were all shattered by Yang Hao's Protective Upstanding Qi.
He died on the spot.
As for Xuan Jian, although he survived, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight. He lay on the ground with a pale face. The black and white longswords had already left his hands.
Now, his only fate was to wait for death.
