Hearing this news, Fang Rushan was shocked and angry at the same time. He made a prompt decision and immediately shouted, "Get out!"
Soon, they formed a formation with Fang Rushan at the front and two blood guards behind him with shields and knives. Their defense was tight. They were scared but not panicked, anxious but not disorderly. In the blink of an eye, they all retreated. Even the demonic insects controlled by Li Chengfeng could not find a chance to attack.
Fang Rushan and the rest retreated out of the torture room. There was the sound of a mechanism clicking behind them. He heaved a sigh of relief.
But very quickly, he was worried because there was a bigger problem outside!
Fang Rushan did not expect the princess to barge into the prison!
Was the princess really willing to sacrifice everything for her lover?
Fang Rushan's heart ached at the thought!
As the favoured commander of the blood guards, he naturally thought he had the right to pursue the princess. He had secretly admired Zhao Feiyue too.
But … Li Chengfeng's appearance had shattered his fragile heart.
This was one of the main reasons why he was so determined to kill Li Chengfeng first!
After all, no one in this position was a fool. With the teapot's bait, he immediately fell for it. This was obviously a personal grudge!
As soon as Fang Rushan exited the dungeon, he was greeted by the sight of the crumbling arrow tower smashing towards his face!
The archers and crossbowmen on top and in the middle of the tower jumped down in fear. They jumped down like dumplings in a pot, and then fled in all directions like a swarm of ants.
The giant arrow tower collapsed, its shadow almost covering the sky. Fang Rushan's face darkened!
"Commander, let's go!!"
The Blood Guards surrounded Fang Rushan and ran as fast as wolves and mice. They ran for a hundred or two hundred meters before they saw the arrow tower crash down. A cloud of smoke and dust filled the air. For a moment, the imperial prison seemed to have experienced a terrible sandstorm. Everyone could not see and could not breathe. They covered their faces with their sleeves and cloaks.
Although they were covered in dust, they forced themselves to squint as they stared at the slender figure in the dust. She landed on the arrow tower like a bolt of lightning.
"Let him go!!" Zhao Feiyue's voice was sharp, she rushed forward like a gust of wind, directly in front of Fang Rushan.
Fang Rushan's face turned red and he said angrily, "Your Highness, do you know what you are doing?"
Zhao Feiyue barked, "Release him now!!"
Fang Rushan said angrily, "Your Highness, please turn back from the wrong path. Trespassing into the imperial prison is a crime punishable by death!"
Zhao Feiyue sneered. "Oh?
You want to exterminate my family?
Sure! "
The surrounding Blood Guards had a strange look on their faces. Fang Rushan's face also turned ugly.
Confiscate Zhao Feiyue's house and exterminate her clan?
Isn't Zhao Feiyue's home the Imperial Palace?
Isn't Zhao Feiyue's family the royal family?
Did Fang Rushan want to hang himself? Was he tired of living?
Fang Rushan was in agony. He knew he was in a dilemma but he underestimated Zhao Feiyue's determination. He did not expect her to risk everything to save Li Chengfeng!
It seemed that … the rumors were true!
The princess had already promised to marry Li Chengfeng, otherwise … why would she risk everything to come to the imperial prison to rescue him?
Even though the Blood Guards in the prison had surrounded Zhao Feiyue with their shields raised, and the archers in the surroundings had also reacted and aimed their arrows at Zhao Feiyue, they knew very well in their hearts that it was impossible for them to kill Zhao Feiyue here.
If they really did that, not a single one of them would be able to survive!
And if the princess went berserk and killed everyone here, they could easily guess that the Emperor Zhao Bairen would definitely not use the princess's life to pay for it!
People were different from each other. They had already realized this when they entered the palace!
Compared to the common people, they were the privileged class high above, and they were the officials who could control their lives. However, compared to people like Zhao Feiyue, they were no different from the common people.
They all looked at Fang Rushan eagerly, waiting for his response and orders.
If Fang Rushan really wanted to fight Zhao Feiyue to the death, then … they would have to die with him.
But Fang Rushan … really wanted to fight to the death!
Because he knew that at this point, he had no way out!
He had already captured Li Chengfeng and made him his enemy. Zhao Feiyue's intrusion had forced him into a corner like a chess board!
If he backed down, how would he be able to survive in the future?
Would he still have the face to be the commander?
Would he still have the right to live in the Divine Capital?
And if he backed down, what would happen to the case?
In the end, wouldn't the Emperor still have to behead him?
The expression on Fang Rushan's face changed, the murderous intent in his eyes slowly gathering. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he held onto his sword, ready to fight back at any time.
When the blood guards around him saw this, they knew what he was thinking. They had no choice but to raise their long swords, level their spears, and drop their shields to the ground. There was a loud and uniform sound, and the entire square was filled with the sound of cracking.
Seeing this, Zhao Feiyue smiled coldly. The Milky Way Divine Sword beside her immediately shot up into the sky and turned into a golden light. This golden light kept circling above the imperial prison like a spinning golden whirlpool. This whirlpool was filled with sword Qi. It was as if countless golden swords would fall from the sky in the next second.
At the same time, Zhao Feiyue flew up into the sky. She wanted to blow things up, so she used the two most earth-shattering techniques. One was the Heavenly Sword Divine Punishment, and the other was the Heaven's Collapse!
Zhao Feiyue activated her powers with all her might, ignoring her remaining injuries. She knew that if she did not save Li Chengfeng, he would have no chance of winning. Her father was not willing to help her, so she could only fight with her life on the line!
This was the only life she had left!
For the Palace Lord, her life was nothing!
After all, he was the one who gave her this life in the first place!
Zhao Feiyue flew into the air and pinched her fingers together. Her fingers moved so fast that they left afterimages in the air. She chanted an incantation. The incantation was extremely short, and every word that came out of her mouth shook the sky.
Soul!
Heavens!
Life!
Soul!
Death!
Earth!
Decay! "
Fang Rushan lowered his body bit by bit. He could feel a terrifying force rapidly condensing in the sky. The blood guards around him also formed a formation to protect themselves as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Just as Zhao Feiyue was about to explode, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves and a terrified voice shouting, "Stop!
Stop!
The Crown Prince's decree!
The Crown Prince's decree! "
Everyone at the scene heaved a sigh of relief. The Blood Guards' palms were sweaty, and Zhao Feiyue stopped as well. She turned her head to look in the direction of the approaching people, only to see a few horses galloping towards them. The leader of the group was holding a gold medal in his hand.
Zhao Feiyue also heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that if she had forcefully rescued Li Chengfeng, what awaited her would have been exile with him.
The Emperor would not kill her, but he would not spare her either. At least, Li Chengfeng would not be spared. So, she could only escape with him, starting an endless escape.
She did not wish for that to happen. That was why it would be best if the Crown Prince was willing to save Li Chengfeng.
