Chapter 218 A Clumsy Battle Ends in Mutual Demise
"You're courting death." Jun Ce's eyes narrowed, his cold voice carrying a chilling edge.
He gathered lightning in his palm.
When Zhai Rongyu saw the large ball of energy in his palm, she realized that the two attacks she had just received were just minor skirmishes.
She winced.
Thinking about which escape method would be best later.
Just then, a lone figure flew down and landed beside the two.
"My lord, the Nansang army has been completely captured."
As instructed by their lord, the Moon Shadow Guards led their soldiers to guard those locations. As soon as Hu Lie Yunxiao's troops appeared, they surrounded them all and captured them.
Not a single one escaped the net.
"How is this possible!" Hu Lieyunxiao exclaimed in shock, his blood-stained face contorting for a moment.
He struggled to his feet, his chest heaving violently.
Jun Ce looked down at him, seemingly having discovered an even more cruel method of hunting prey. He chuckled and withdrew his spiritual power.
"You just said that your army has infiltrated Haimu City?"
"I had no idea that Nansang's army actually liked to come to their deaths."
"As expected, the hero died for his country."
"You!" Hu Lieyunxiao was furious, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind and he realized that he had been tricked by the regent.
He had planned out the city defense map and the military strongholds in advance!
We're just waiting for him to walk right into our trap!
Hu Lieyunxiao suddenly turned his head, ignoring the pain in his arm, and forcefully lifted Cang Zhihe with his right hand, angrily saying, "Speak! Was the city defense map you gave me fake?! Did you collude with this Regent to play tricks on me?!"
He suddenly regretted not telling Wu Muyou about it.
Otherwise, with that Wu family spirit snake, they would have been able to find out the authenticity of this city defense map in advance, and they wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament!
He was filled with remorse, and the veins on his hands bulged as he squeezed Cang Zhihe so hard she could hardly breathe.
"I...I didn't..."
The chubby hand slapped at Hu Lieyunxiao, "Let go of me first..."
Hu Lieyunxiao grabbed her collar and shook her violently twice, roaring, "Tell me! Is that city defense map fake or not?!"
Cang Zhihe turned pale with fright.
"I...I don't know..."
She was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Could it be... could it all be part of the Regent's scheme?
He even discovered his father's secret passage?!
A massive wave of panic surged up belatedly.
Before Cang Zhihe could react, Hu Lieyunxiao slammed her to the ground and slammed her back against the secret passage door.
Cang Zhihe arched her back and cried out in pain.
She looked up at Jun Ce, wanting to question him about the city defense map, but the moment she met the sharp look in his eyes, her lips trembled and she dared not utter another word.
She never imagined that the regent would also possess lightning magic, and that his spiritual power would be so high!
If he were to kill himself, wouldn't it be as easy as killing an ant?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her plump body trembled uncontrollably.
She was careless...it was she who was careless...
Seeing this, Zhiying let out a cold sneer, "You dare to frame my master? Don't you even know if you've got your brains working?"
"The city defense map is real, but the layout inside the city is fake."
“We, the Moon Shadow Guard, have been waiting for your Nan Sang army for three shifts before you finally arrived.”
He clicked his tongue twice, looking roguish.
"If you ask me, it's one thing for you to be stupid, but to be so inefficient, if you don't die, who will?"
He crossed his arms, raised his chin at Hu Lieyunxiao, and looked at him with disdain.
Hu Lieyunxiao, humiliated by Zhiying, had bloodshot eyes and nowhere to vent his anger. He turned around and glared fiercely at Cang Zhihe, "Stupid woman! You've ruined me!"
Cang Zhihe was indignant and stubbornly argued back.
"Me, stupid?!"
"Didn't you believe that city defense map too? Aren't you stupid?!"
"Who do you think you are! You dare to lecture me!" Hu Lieyunxiao was furious. His lips were tightly pressed together, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He could no longer contain his anger and burst out, "You poisonous woman! Die!"
He raised his spear and thrust it fiercely at Cang Zhihe.
The sharp spear pierced her body and was pulled out with a soft thud, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Cang Zhihe stared wide-eyed at the large, bright red hole in her body in disbelief.
"You...you actually dared..." She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pain surged through my limbs and bones.
Stimulated by the blood, the two Gu worms inside the body began to run wildly through the blood vessels.
"My...my body..."
Cang Zhihe forced herself to take the last bite, staring wide-eyed in horror at her increasingly bloated body, until her temples throbbed and she couldn't even make a sound.
She swelled up like a balloon, and finally burst with a "pop" and died!
Flesh and blood splattered.
Jun Ce spread his cloak with one hand and stood in front of Zhai Rongyu.
The girl looked up at the moonlight, her heart softening at his instinctive protectiveness. She stared at his cold, tense jawline and cautiously asked:
"Ah Xu, are you still angry?"
She gently pinched the corner of his robe, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming.
Jun Ce looked down at the girl in his arms, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
He pulled Zhai Rongyu into his arms while wearing his outer robe.
Hu Lieyunxiao looked up at the two people embracing each other on the roof. Scattered bloodstains were on his gloomy face, and his expression looked as terrifying as a demon from hell in the night.
His muscles tensed, and he gradually tightened his grip on the spear.
"I have been defeated today, and you will not escape unscathed!" he murmured, his eyes red.
Hu Lieyunxiao concentrated all his inner strength into his spear and hurled it like an enraged beast, shouting, "Die!"
A surge of immense internal energy pierced the night, carrying a tremendous killing intent as it flew towards Jun Ce and Zhai Rongyu.
"Lord, be careful!"
Just as the figure was about to leap forward to defend, Jun Ce's eyes narrowed. Without even glancing at Hu Lie Yunxiao, he swept open his outer robe, and his powerful aura instantly sent the ball of internal energy flying back, slamming into Hu Lie Yunxiao with lightning speed.
"Pfft—" Hu Lieyunxiao spat out blood.
He was severely injured by his own internal force, flying two zhang away, crashing straight into the courtyard wall and falling down, his bones and muscles shattered.
With his last bit of strength, Hu Lieyunxiao lifted his eyelids, then closed them tightly again.
He stopped breathing in an instant.
Zhai Rongyu looked at the dent in the wall and was somewhat alarmed.
[Ah Xu merely waved his robe, yet it possessed such power.]
She dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if that burst of lightning had been unleashed.

Nansang Palace.
Helian Kuangmo sat on the dragon throne, listening to the report from Wu Muhong, the head of the Wu family.
"Your Majesty, Hu Lieyunxiao led troops to besiege Haimu City without authorization, and has now been killed on the spot by Regent Prince Longyan."
"The troops we sent out were all captured."
Helian Kuangmo narrowed his eyes and slammed the memorial in his hand onto the ground. "Useless!"
"Hu Lieyunxiao was already defeated in Guanling City, and now he can't even take back Haimu City. He is truly deserving of death!"
"Where's Wu Muyou? Isn't he also in Haimu City?"
"And what is he good for?!"
