Chapter 5516 Breaking in
Zhang Yifeng and a few others stood in front of the imperial palace and were about to push the door open.
At the critical moment, a man emerged from the darkness and blocked everyone's way.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace?"
Zhang Yifeng looked up and saw that the man who was blocking his way was wearing a gorgeous robe and had a heroic look on his face.
Judging from his appearance, he should be a prince of the Tianyu Empire's royal family.
"Lu Shang, who is this person?"
Zhang Yifeng turned his head and whispered to Lu Shang beside him.
"This person is the second prince of the Tianyu Empire."
Lu Shang naturally recognized this person's identity, even though the other party had never taken him seriously.
But all the chosen ones in the Royal Academy at that time were these members of the royal family.
Lu Shang, who suffered from ostracism in the Royal Academy, also had vivid memories of the Second Prince, who was known as the future pillar of the empire.
"Wait, you are... that useless Lu Shang?"
When the Second Prince heard what Lu Shang said, he couldn't help but stare at him deeply.
After a closer look, he realized that the strange young man in armor was Lu Shang, who was once called a waste in the academy.
"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's you, the traitor, who's back!"
"You traitor have no intention of serving your country, but now you want to break into the imperial palace. You really have ulterior motives!"
"When we were in the academy, I saw that you were an ambitious person!"
"Today, this prince is here and will not allow you to set foot in the imperial palace!"
The second prince shouted in an imposing manner and drew his sword, pointing it directly at Zhang Yifeng and the others.
"waste time."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes darkened, and he didn't want to continue wasting time on this meaningless character.
Just when he was about to take action to resolve it, he suddenly felt some inexplicable murderous aura coming from all directions.
"Be careful."
Zhang Yifeng shouted a warning, then raised his hand and easily cut off a flying stream of light with a sword.
"It's you again!"
With a low roar, a familiar figure rushed out from the direction where the light came from.
Zhang Yifeng took a closer look and found that it was indeed an old acquaintance.
This person was none other than the black tower man named Gu Mie who was sent by the eldest prince when he tried to destroy the Ji family last time.
At this moment, Gu Mie was staring at Zhang Yifeng, and all the muscles in his body were shaking constantly.
Ever since his last failure, the eldest prince no longer planned to use him. Because of this, Gu Mie had been holding a grudge in his heart.
The sound of the main gate of the palace being breached spread in all directions, and Gu Mie, who was practicing hard in the room, rushed over immediately.
"Daoist Gumie, long time no see."
"The reason why we are here today is not because of you. I hope you can help me."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and spoke to Gu Mie in a calm voice.
"And fellow Taoists around here, don't hide anymore. It's better for you to come out and make a decision together."
"Do you want to fight us to the death for the so-called royal family, or save your life and witness the future of the Tianyu Empire with your own eyes."
After Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, he glanced around.
In an instant, the royal guards hiding in the dark felt that they had nowhere to hide.
They stared at Zhang Yifeng with grim expressions for a long while. They also knew that their hiding place had been seen through, so they simply flew out from their hiding place.
In an instant, dozens of royal guards surrounded Zhang Yifeng and the other two.
"I don't understand what you are saying!"
"If you surrender now, we can spare your life and let you wait for the Emperor's judgment!"
"If you insist on forcing your way into the Imperial Palace, then you will leave your lives here!"
Among the royal guards, an old man with a long beard stared at Zhang Yifeng fiercely and shouted.
The same was true for the other royal guards; no one was moved by what Zhang Yifeng said.
After all, they knew nothing about Zhang Yifeng's background. On the contrary, the emperor's power in the Tianyu Empire had already planted the seeds of fear in everyone's hearts.
It is impossible to back down just because of Zhang Yifeng's few words at this moment.
"In that case, let's face the sword head-on."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes focused, and he immediately picked up two swords. Before his movements could be seen clearly, countless sword energies rushed in all directions.
The pupils of the royal guards shrank, and they hurriedly took action to try to block Zhang Yifeng's sword energy.
However, those with lower cultivation levels present had their shields and weapons cut off the moment they came into contact with the sword energy.
Under the impact of the sword energy, he flew backwards heavily and smashed through the high walls of the palace.
The rest of the people were not in much better condition either. Facing Zhang Yifeng's sweeping sword energy, they could only withstand it at best.
But after one strike, the magic shield in front of him was almost broken.
"Damn it, where did you find such a powerful helper, you loser!"
The second prince hid behind the guardians in disbelief and questioned Lu Shang.
"It's better to stop talking nonsense!"
A sharp look flashed across Lu Shang's eyes, and then he said to Zhang Yifeng in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, you go into the hall with Senior Fire King first, and I will take care of these people."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly when he heard this, and did not refuse Lu Shang's kindness.
"Then it's hard work for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yifeng flew up and rushed towards the gate of the imperial palace with the Fire King.
"Damn it, stop them!"
The Second Prince's pupils shrank upon seeing this, and he hurriedly shouted orders to the guardians.
The guardians did not dare to let Zhang Yifeng break into the imperial palace, and they all moved forward to kill him.
However, before anyone could get close, a figure blocked their way.
Lu Shang was seen holding a spear, with a domineering aura emanating from his body.
"bring it on!"
As Lu Shang swung the spear in his hand, the royal guards nearby were swept away one by one.
Only one person took a few steps back and forcibly stopped Lu Shang's casual shot.
"It seems that I underestimated you before."
Gu Mie slowly raised his head and looked at the young man whose aura was completely different from the one he met at Ji's house that day.
Among the many guardians, he was the only one who could withstand Lu Shang's shot.
"interesting!"
Lu Shang narrowed his eyes, and immediately swung his spear straight towards Gu Mie.
"You! You lowly person, you actually tried to force your way into the Imperial Palace!"
Just as Zhang Yifeng was about to push open the palace door, the Second Prince suppressed his fear and pointed at Zhang Yifeng and shouted curses.
"Ok?"
Zhang Yifeng glanced at him and looked at him deeply.
The next moment, a beam of fire flew out from beside him and poured over the second prince.
There was no time to shout, and in the blink of an eye the second prince turned into ashes.
"There's nothing in the contract we signed that says I can't attack people outside the Snow Country."
The Fire King put away the ball of fire at his fingertips and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course, anyway, the royal family of the Tianyu Empire also has a grudge against you."
"I just hope that Senior will not vent his anger on the people of Tianyu Empire."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and said, then he pushed open the door in front of him.
The two of them walked in.
