I'm the villain in the book

Outside the northern formation of the hall, an old man in black muttered something, but did not immediately enter the formation to save people.

Judging from his aura, he should be a second-rank master.

And often the higher the realm, the more cautious you act.

Well, not necessarily...

"Old Guo, the mere phantom array must be an assassin's trick."

Beside him, an old man in white robe who was also of the second rank curled his lips in disdain.

"If you don't dare to enter, just wait outside. This old man is not as fearful as you are!"

"Shh!"

After saying a word, the white-robed old man stepped into the white mist without hesitation, and his figure disappeared immediately.

Seeing his impatience, although the old man in black was a little helpless, he didn't dissuade him, he just stood there wondering whether he should go in too.

The second prince's assassination was normal under such a situation of great controversy, and it was not too unexpected.

It's just that no matter whether it's the First Prince or anyone else, people shouldn't be assassinated on Longshou Mountain.

Alas, if you kill me, I will take revenge on you, isn't this going to be a mess...

Sighing sadly, although the old man in black had a helpless expression, it was not difficult to see that he was actually not worried that Lu Yuansong would really die.

but......

"Ok?"

Raising his head, the old man let out a slight gasp, and suddenly saw something flying out of the formation not far away, shooting towards him.

It's just that although the speed of this thing is extremely fast, there is no real energy fluctuation in it.

"what?"

Talking to himself, the old man in black stretched out his hand and pushed forward, and a soft internal force firmly caught the object.

And the next moment, when he saw the true face of such a thing clearly, his whole body froze in place as if he had been cast with a fixing spell.

Because it was the head of the old man in white robe who had only entered the battle for ten breaths.

Chapter 793 Just Because Your Last Name is Lu

The living man who was still laughing at himself for being cowardly a dozen breaths ago, the man who had dominated the big scene for decades, died in the blink of an eye...

Looking at the bloody head not far away, the black-clothed old man took a few steps back as if he had seen some scourge, his eyes full of horror.

There is no doubt that the old man in white robe was killed by the assassins in the formation.

And to be able to kill a second-rank expert in such a short period of time...

His throat twitched slightly, and the old man in black felt a stabbing chill down his back, giving him the illusion that he was in an ice cave in this early summer.

So far, he certainly dare not enter the battle again.

He knew that this head was a warning, if he entered the battle, the next head thrown out of the battle would undoubtedly be himself.

"Guo, Senior Guo, this..."

At this time, more and more people gathered around the old man in black.

They belong to different forces, but the purpose of coming here is to save Lu Yuansong.

Their strengths are different, but now they are all hesitant because of this head.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the highest-level old man in black, and the latter only said one sentence after a long silence——

"Call the imperial army and never let the assassin escape!"

"..."

Call the imperial army.

The old man in black spoke harshly, but the meaning in his words could not be more clear.

That is, he would not take this risk for Lu Yuansong.

If it was Lu Hongji who was trapped in the formation at this time, it is estimated that everyone present would not have any hesitation.

And if Lu Yuansong... Although he is a prince, he will die if he dies.

Of course, this does not mean that Lu Yuansong is not important.

It's just that no matter for Dahui or these people, Lu Yuansong's life has not reached the level enough to make them "sacrifice their lives to save each other".

After all, this assassin killed a second-rank expert in a dozen breaths...

......

The white mist filled the air, and the moon and stars were sparse.

Just like that, there was an eerie dead silence outside the formation.

More and more people shot from all directions of Longshou Mountain to stop, and then stopped outside the formation tacitly, watching the white mist rolling in front of them in silence.

The phantom array cast by Yang Liushi cuts off all sound, light and shadow. If you don't enter the array, you can't see or hear anything.

But everyone can imagine the scene in the formation today.

The facts were indeed similar to what they had imagined. At this moment, the huge Changding Hall was already filled with flames and a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Hundreds of soldiers in golden armor were lying in a pool of blood, and more court ladies and eunuchs were running around, and then they would suddenly fall to the ground and die at an unknown time.

The cold wind was howling, and every time Yang Liushi's figure flickered, several corpses would be left behind, and it would not take long for the living people in the entire Changding Hall to be slaughtered.

Wei Changtian was still standing in the main hall, and with just a wave of his hand, he sent the last three soldiers who stood in front of Lu Yuansong flying away.

"Bang! Boom!"

There were three muffled sounds, and the three soldiers slammed into the stone pillars in the hall and fell to the ground, as if they were dead and couldn't die anymore.

After they died, only Wei Changtian and the pale-faced Lu Yuansong remained in the main hall.

Looking at the black beast crouching not far away, and recalling the scene of thousands of swords flying together just now, even though Lu Yuansong didn't know what a Gu carving was, he understood that this masked man was really Wei Changtian.

It was also because of this that he did not make any senseless resistance, but just watched Wei Changtian approach step by step until he stood in front of him.

"His Royal Highness, hand over any life-saving treasures on your body."

Hanging down the Yuantu sword with a smile, Wei Changtian said casually, "You should know that these things can't save you, at most they can delay your death for a while."

"It's meaningless, why don't you hand it over quickly, and I'll give you a happy one too, so everyone can save trouble."

"..."

Looking at the corpses in the hall and listening to Wei Changtian's words, Lu Yuansong finally glanced at the tumbling white mist in the distance, knowing that the people outside the formation had given up on him.

In fact, he had expected this.

After all, he saw the scene where Wei Changtian killed the white-robed old man with a single sword just now.

In all fairness, if it were him, Lu Yuansong would not have entered the battle to save others.

only......

"Young Master Wei, at this time the outside of the formation must be full of forbidden troops. If you kill me, it will be extremely difficult to escape."

Looking directly at Wei Changtian, Lu Yuansong said softly, "Why don't you take me as a hostage, it's also good for you."

Take the initiative to ask to be a hostage.

Obviously, Lu Yuansong wanted to live longer in this way.

It's just that Wei Changtian didn't think about it when he heard the words, and just shook his head with a smile.

"No need, Your Highness don't have to worry about how I can escape."

"Is it......"

His eyes became desperate, and Lu Yuansong's face became even more defeated.

It seems to be powerless to fate, and it seems to be regret for what has not been completed.

He suddenly raised his head at a certain moment and asked the last question.

"Young Master Wei, may I ask why you need to kill me?"

"..."

"There's no particular reason, just because your surname is Lu."

......

......

A quarter of an hour later.

When another fate tablet located in the Lu family's ancestral hall was shattered, and the white mist around the Changding Hall slowly dissipated, the moods of the thousands of people surrounding them instantly tensed up to the extreme.

He tightly clenched the weapon in his hand, and even his breathing became stagnant.

Thousands of people just stared at the gradually revealed Changding Hall, saw the corpses on the ground, saw the bleak moonlight, but did not hear any movement.

There were no crowds running and fleeing, and no scenes of fierce fighting.

The entire Changding Hall was dead silent, without any changes, let alone assassins.

"Enter!"

A low shout came from the old man in black.

As soon as he waved his hand, thousands of forbidden soldiers stepped forward slowly and cautiously, narrowing the encirclement bit by bit.

"Da da da......"

There was still no movement in the hall, only the dull footsteps of the imperial guards echoed in the night sky.

Looking at the corpses all over the place, the old man in black who fell behind the army knew that there would be no survivors in the Changding Hall.

In order to prevent their identities from being exposed, the assassin killed everyone...

"Senior Guo."

I don't know how long it took, a general of the forbidden army hurried to the old man in black, and said in an extremely complicated tone:

"The body of the second prince has been found."

"..."

The old man in black stared for a moment, then shook his head and asked, "Where's the assassin?"

"Never found."

The general of the Forbidden Army replied truthfully: "It should be that I don't know what method to use to escape."

"Ugh......"

Sighing, the old man in black didn't say anything, just looked up at the night sky.

A dark cloud covered the moon, blocking the moonlight.

After a long silence, he slowly said as if talking to himself:

"It won't be done by the eldest prince and others."

"This time there will be a big catastrophe."

"Everyone, please ask for more blessings in the future..."

Chapter 794 Ignite the Lead

In this way, Lu Yuansong, one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, died.

He died in his own palace, on Longshou Mountain where tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers were stationed.

For the Dahui court, such an assassination is undoubtedly a shame.

But there was nothing they could do about it.

They didn't know how many assassins there were, let alone find out the identity of the latter.

Because all the maids, eunuchs, retainers and soldiers in the Changding Palace were all dead.
