Amidst the glint of blades, a massive iron hammer swung, felling a large swath of people in an instant. Yet, the man standing in the very center remained unharmed.
Seeing this, those still on their feet showed no signs of panic. They were numb, like emotionless killing machines, and charged towards Ming Li again.
Ming Li raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Assassins? This move by the protagonist is quite something.
Hammer up, hammer down, another large group fell.
After hammering everyone to the ground, Ming Li twisted her neck, a dangerous curve forming at the corner of her lips. She hoisted the massive iron hammer and headed towards the imperial palace.
The imperial palace was very quiet tonight. As Ming Li approached the palace gates, the guards on duty stared at her in surprise and blocked her path. "Your Highness Yu, it's so late, what business do you have?"
Ming Li nodded. "I do."
The guard at the gate frowned and said, "Your Highness, the palace gates are closed at night. If you truly have something important, perhaps you could come back tomorrow."
Ming Li didn't want to waste words. She said directly, "This King is rebelling, step aside."
*Clang!*
Hearing this, the guard dropped the saber in his hand. The next second, realizing what had happened, the head guard quickly picked up the fallen saber, his hands trembling. "Your... Your Highness, where is your army?"
Ming Li remained silent, her face showing impatience. Seeing this, the head guard silently took a step back and ordered the palace gates to be opened.
Ming Li glanced at the head guard indifferently and walked in, carrying her massive iron hammer.
Behind her, the head guard watched the large iron hammer slung over Ming Li's shoulder and swallowed hard.
Could it be... that the Lin Kingdom... is about to change?
Ming Li had only gone halfway before being stopped again.
The ones who stopped her were Qin Zhanhan's personal guards and a group of Imperial Guards.
The new leader of the personal guards looked at Ming Li and asked, "Your Highness Yu, the night is deep. May I ask why you have come to the imperial palace? His Majesty has already retired."
Ming Li didn't want to chatter and acted directly.
The speaker frowned and said, "Audacious, Your Highness Yu! How dare you bring weapons to attack? What is your intention?"
Ming Li rolled her eyes speechlessly. With one swing of the hammer, the new leader of the personal guards couldn't resist and was directly slammed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and unable to even get up.
Seeing this, the others drew their sabers and swords, all charging towards Ming Li. The result was a complete annihilation; everyone was hammered to the ground, without exception.
Ming Li walked past them and went directly to the Imperial Study. After casually setting up a barrier, she hammered all the Imperial Guards guarding the door to the ground. Ming Li kicked open the door to the Imperial Study.
With a bang, Qin Zhanhan, who was looking at something, raised his head abruptly. Seeing the person, Qin Zhanhan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Your Highness Yu, why are you here? What's going on? How is he still not dead? When did he arrive?"
Ming Li calmly looked at Qin Zhanhan, who was fully on guard, and said in a flat tone, "Abdicate yourself, or I will help you abdicate."
Seeing Ming Li's arrogance, Qin Zhanhan's expression worsened. "Audacious! Guards! Your Highness Yu intends to usurp the throne! Take him down for me!"
Qin Zhanhan shouted for a long time but found no one entering. A bad premonition instantly filled his heart.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu, splattered with blood, crawled in tremblingly and shouted loudly, "Your... Your Majesty! Your Highness Yu is rebelling!"
