"Feeling the terrifying aura approaching, Prince Beichen frowned, constantly changing his position. The aura of this man in black was extremely sharp; if he were detected, it would be a great disaster for Prince Beichen!"
The moment he turned, a figure in black appeared before him, a smile playing on his lips, tinged with playfulness. "Prince Beichen, where are you heading? Do you think you can remain unharmed by hiding here?"
"You are not from the Northwest, nor from the Savage Lands, but from the Imperial Capital!"
Prince Beichen looked at the man in black. "Who exactly are you? And who sent you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?"
"Prince Beichen is indeed intelligent. I didn't expect you to discern this; it truly surprises me!" The man in black sneered. "But even if you know, what of it? In my eyes, you are already a corpse. As for who I am, you don't need to know!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a subordinate of one of my brothers!" Prince Beichen smiled slightly. "So, the Mie Long Tang was also personally managed by him?"
"What else do you know? Might as well tell me everything!" the man in black said with a faint smile, his expression even more indifferent.
Facing these words, Beichen said coldly, "So everything I said earlier was true!"
"Prince Beichen is so astute; even if I don't say it, Prince Beichen should already know!" The man in black smiled faintly. "But it's a pity that you, so intelligent, have to die in this Savage Land. If the Heavenly Emperor knew, I wonder how heartbroken he would be!"
"Tsk tsk… Do you really think that by killing me, everything will vanish into thin air? Don't forget, I am royalty killing royalty. For you, that is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations!"
With a cold expression, Beichen resorted to threats. It seemed this was all he could do now.
Facing these words, the man in black's lips curled up, a coldness in his eyes. "Let me tell you the truth! The true Mie Long Tang was never destroyed by you; this was merely a small part, intended to lure you here, so that one prince could be eliminated!"
"You mean your master intends to kill all the other princes?"
Prince Beichen sneered. "Do you really think that by leaving only this one prince, he can do whatever he pleases? Father Emperor will surely notice, and he will have nowhere to hide."
"You think things are too simple!" the man in black said with a faint smile. "Since a performance is to be staged, it must be complete. Besides, if only he remains, he will be the future Heavenly Emperor. Even if the Heavenly Emperor knows by then, it will be too late!"
"Truly somewhat insane!"
Prince Beichen chuckled coldly and simultaneously glanced around, trying to find a way to escape. Otherwise, he might truly die here today, which was certainly not a good outcome for him.
At the same time, the man in black sneered, "Now that things have come to this, you don't intend to escape, do you?"
"Living is the best hope!" Beichen said coldly. "Since I intend to do this, I will see it through!"
Facing these words, the man in black burst into laughter, his eyes filled with coldness, as if everything was insignificant in his eyes.
At that very moment, the man in black struck directly at Beichen's vital points. His primary objective was to kill Beichen. Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, news would undoubtedly spread: Prince Beichen met his end at the hands of Mie Long Tang, along with eight thousand Black Armored Guards. In this way, no one would suspect that someone was manipulating all of this from the shadows.
Boom…
A deafening impact sound erupted. Beichen was sent flying, blood spilling from his lips. He hadn't expected the man in black to be so fierce and ruthless, showing no restraint. It seemed he would truly perish here today.
Thinking of this, Beichen fell into despair. He was already severely injured and no match for the man in black. All he could do now was wait for death.
"What a pity, the dignified Prince Beichen, to end up in such a state!"
A smile played on his lips as the man in black stepped towards Beichen, an imposing presence. In his eyes, all of this seemed trivial.
Prince Beichen's eyes were filled with despair and immense unwillingness. He wished he could expose the culprit, but alas, he lacked the strength to survive. He could only let the person behind all this roam free.
"May the Prince rest in peace!"
The man in black shouted, unleashing spiritual energy towards Beichen with a frenzied intensity. Since he had decided to act, he would not back down easily.
Boom…
At that sudden moment, a rumbling sound erupted. Lu Fan appeared, blocking Prince Beichen, much to Beichen's surprise. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to arrive so promptly.
The man in black retreated several steps, somewhat astonished. He hadn't anticipated that Lu Fan possessed such skill, catching him off guard.
"How dare you lay hands on royalty!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the man in black, filled with an icy chill. In his eyes, such actions by the man in black were simply courting death.
"You'd best not meddle in affairs that don't concern you, or you'll be the one to die!" the man in black warned Lu Fan. "The struggles in the imperial court are not something you can get involved in!"
"And what if I must interfere?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze becoming even sharper, as if he didn't take the man in black seriously at all.
"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!" the man in black sneered, forming his hand into a claw and lunging at Lu Fan, intending to deal with him before dealing with Prince Beichen.
"He is very strong; you are no match for him. Don't sacrifice yourself in vain for me!" Prince Beichen warned, his expression grave.
Facing these words, Lu Fan's lips curved upwards. "Don't worry, he can't do anything to me. Besides, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan collided with the man in black, creating an explosion.
The man in black was violently repelled, a mouthful of blood spilling from his lips, his face turning ashen. He had never imagined that Lu Fan would be so powerful, catching him completely off guard.
Seeing this, Prince Beichen was also astonished. Although Lu Fan had shown considerable talent in the Imperial City before, he had never possessed such formidable strength. Now, he was truly impressive.
"So, how does it feel to be beaten?" Lu Fan shrugged slightly and said meaningfully.
"I underestimated you!" the man in black stated coldly, despite his dissatisfaction, he was helpless.
