“Well played!”
The female guards all shouted out in excitement.
They had long hated such a rebellious minister as Gu Xinlong to the bone, and now that they saw their own majesty punish him in such a way, they felt a great joy in their hearts.
At this moment, Sheng Yumei was also in the midst of an outburst of anger.
“You have offended your superiors, you deserve to die!”
“You helped the enemy to do evil, damn you!”
“You deserve to die for doing this to Hate Bamboo!”
“Damn you! Damn you! Damn!!!”
With every word Sheng Yumei spoke, the Dragon Scale Whip in her hand lashed down.
With each stroke of the Dragon Scale Whip, a powerful Qi burst through Guxin Long’s body.
Guxin Long’s entire body was so skinned and split open by the Dragon Scale Whip that it was unbearable.
Only at this moment did Gu Xinlong finally realise that the mighty power of his opponent’s true dragon bloodline was definitely not something he could easily fight against with such strength!
At this moment, Sheng Yumei let out the anger in her heart, so she no longer intended to show any mercy, and directly wanted to put Guxin Long to death!
“Rebel and traitor, go to hell!”
Sheng Yumei shouted angrily, and a more powerful dragon scale whip was about to come down on Gu Xinlong’s head.
He only felt that the dragon scale whip in front of him was like a dragon that looked down upon all things and was going to tear him to pieces, no matter how he tried to dodge it, he would never be able to.
At this moment, Gu Xinlong’s entire body froze in place, ready to meet his death.
However, just at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Only to see that Sheng Yumei’s Dragon Scale Whip that was about to fall, but without any sign, it directly stopped in mid-air, no longer able to descend a single bit.
“Huh?!”
Sheng Yumei was astonished for a moment.
Gu Xinlong was also a little incredulous.
But then, when Gu Xinlong opened his eyes to see the scene in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He saw that at that moment, a figure had appeared behind Sheng Yumei at some point.
And the whip head of that Dragon Scale Whip was now firmly in the other party’s hand.
“Chief!”
Gu Xinlong cried out in shock.
That’s right, this person in front of him was no other than the number one expert of Southern Qian that Gu Xinlong had been waiting for, Gongsun Huarong!
Although Gongsun Huarong and Gu Xinlong were both among the Four Great Vajra under the command of the Zhen Nan Army, their strengths were far apart, one in the sky and the other on the ground!
Otherwise, this Gongsun Huarong would not have been called the chief!
“Gongsun Huarong?!”
When Sheng Yumei and the others saw the sudden appearance of Gongsun Huarong in front of them, they could not help but look shocked.
Because they were all well aware of Gongsun Huarong’s strength, and now that the other party had actually arrived, they were afraid that their chances were already very slim!
At this moment, Gongsun Huarong looked at Sheng Yumei in front of him, but he had a cold smile on his face.
“True Dragon Bloodline? Your Majesty, it seems that you haven’t let us, your subjects, down after all!”
Gongsun Huarong said with a cold smile.
Sheng Yumei, however, had a cold face.
“Traitor, you still know that you are only a vassal!”
As she spoke, a cold aura flashed in Sheng Yumei’s beautiful eyes.
She steeply poured her true qi into the Dragon Scale Whip.
At the same time, the head of the dragon scale whip seemed to come to life, and it suddenly grew longer, and came directly towards Gongsun Huarong’s arm!
“Huh?!”
Gongsun Huarong frowned slightly, but his reaction was extremely quick.
Before the dragon scale whip could wrap around his arm, he hurriedly and fiercely used his true qi.
“Boom!”
A protective astral energy burst out above Gongsun Huarong’s arm, directly shaking the dragon scale whip away, and Gongsun Huarong was able to escape.
“Humph, even this Dragon Scale Whip has been trained to such an extent, Your Majesty, I didn’t expect you to hide it so deeply!”
Gongsun Huarong said with a cold smile.
In fact, it was true that the True Dragon Bloodline would not be easily revealed to outsiders, for there were times when this True Dragon Bloodline, then, would become a means to save one’s life at critical moments, such as at this moment, when Sheng Yumei had already used it.
“How dare you, Gongsun Huarong, I have always treated your Marquis of Zhen Nan’s House well, but I never thought that you would be so kind as to take revenge!”
Sheng Yumei said in a cold voice.
Gongsun Huarong sneered and said disdainfully, “Your Majesty, this throne is supposed to be sat by a man. My Marquis is a lord of his generation, yet he has to submit to a mere woman like you, do you think my Marquis can bear it?”
Sheng Yumei’s face was full of anger, yet she knew very well that even in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, the number of female emperors was only a handful.
Ever since she had ascended to the throne, rumours of such male superiority over women had been released from time to time in the imperial court, and in response, Sheng Yumei was so distressed that she could only prove to everyone that she was a perfectly competent emperor by her own practical actions.
Even more so than those men!
It just didn’t occur to Sheng Yumei that no matter how well he did or how good he was, there would always be curmudgeons like the Marquis of Zhen Nan who would make a big deal out of his gender!
At this point, I heard Gongsun Huarong continue, “But Your Majesty, you can rest assured that you have not been unkind to my Marquis, and he will not be unjust to you. When my Marquis ascends to the throne, he will likewise give you a place in the Sheng Imperial Tomb!”
Gongsun Huarong’s face was full of teasing and mockery.
When Sheng Yumei heard these words, her entire body was already furious.
“Bold rebel, seeking death!”
Sheng Yumei said, waving the Dragon Scale Whip in her hand, and swiped it towards Gongsun Huarong.
“Boom!”
There was a loud sound.
That Dragon Scale Whip lashed out so violently that it exploded the air in front of it, erupting into a trail of fire.
However, Gongsun Huarong was extremely fast and had already dodged the dragon scale whip as soon as it reached him.
Sheng Yumei frowned and did not stop, continuing to swing the Dragon Scale Whip towards Gongsun Huarong.
“Boom boom boom!”
A golden light appeared at first, and a thunderstorm exploded.
The entire sky seemed to be filled with countless golden dragons dancing wildly, and the entire air was stirred up by this dragon scale whip, causing chaos and killing intent!
The Zhen Nan soldiers at the side were all completely shocked by Sheng Yumei’s strength at this moment.
They all knew very well that with the strength of Sheng Yumei’s true dragon bloodline, even if she was surrounded by thousands of horses, she would not be able to do anything to her!
Gu Xinlong could not help but frown at this moment as well.
There was still some secret gratitude in Gu Xinlong’s heart.
Fortunately, Gongsun Huarong had just arrived in time, otherwise, with his own strength, he would have died under Sheng Yumei’s Dragon Scale Whip!
Sheng Yumei’s Dragon Scale Whip was indeed very powerful, but Gongsun Huarong’s strength was not to be underestimated.
Under the killing intent of the Dragon Scale Whip, Gongsun Huarong continued to dodge frequently, and none of the dozens of whips that were drawn one after another could land on Gongsun Huarong’s body.
After a few moments, Sheng Yumei was already tired to the point of exhaustion, but Gongsun Huarong still looked as if she was at ease.
Sheng Yumei could not help but frown.
She had heard before that Gongsun Huarong was the number one expert in Southern Qian and his strength was extraordinary.
Now that she saw it, it was true!
For a moment, Sheng Yumei’s heart inevitably felt a little desperate.
At this moment, however, Gongsun Huarong’s face was smug.
“Hahahaha, this True Dragon bloodline is indeed very strong yes, it’s just a pity that your Majesty’s Dao is too shallow, it’s really a waste!”
Gongsun Huarong said with great ease.
In fact, Gongsun Huarong was right.
The true strength of this True Dragon Bloodline was actually far more powerful than it was now.
It was just a pity that Sheng Yumei was still young today and had a lot of time to cultivate this True Dragon Bloodline, so the strength that could be brought into play was really too limited.
This was what led to the fact that even a strong Golden Immortal like Gongsun Huarong was able to ignore the might of the Son of Heaven like that!
Hearing Gongsun Huarong’s disparaging remarks, Sheng Yumei only felt infinitely ashamed.
“My royal bloodline will not allow you, a thief, to speak out! Seek death!”
With these words, Sheng Yumei swung the Dragon Scale Whip once again and was about to whip at Gongsun Huarong.
This time, however, Gongsun Huarong did not dodge in the slightest.
He gathered all his strength in his hand, forming a strong force, and directly stretched out his hand, grabbing the dragon scale whip in his hand!
Sheng Yumei was startled and immediately tried to mobilise his strength again to entangle his opponent with the Dragon Scale Whip.
Only this time, Gongsun Huarong had prepared for this and the moment he grabbed the Dragon Scale Whip, he directly launched his power.
“Boom!”
A powerful qi energy followed that Dragon Scale Whip and went directly towards Sheng Yumei in reverse.
At this moment, Sheng Yumei only felt that the Dragon Scale Whip in her hand instantly lost its grip and flew out of her hand.
At the same time, the Qi from the Dragon Scale Whip rebounded directly in front of her.
Sheng Yumei felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her whole body flew backwards.
“Your Majesty!”
Those female guards all cried out in shock when they saw this scene before them.
But Gongsun Huarong was smiling coldly, “How dare you show off in front of me with such a trivial skill? So what if you are the emperor, so what if you have the true dragon bloodline! Today, I will kill the emperor and change the fate of my marquis!”
With these words, Gongsun Huarong took a step forward and approached Sheng Yumei directly.
“Bold dog thief, look at the sword!”
Yao Hated Bamboo shouted coldly, and directly flashed his body towards Gongsun Huarong.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Yao Hate Bamboo had already been infected with the Hundred Poison Miasma, and her strength was no longer the same as usual.
At this moment, before she could reach her, Gongsun Huarong only pulled out a palm, and Yao Hate Bamboo’s entire body flew backwards.
“Unbeatable!”
Gongsun Huarong said mockingly.
Just as Gongsun Huarong was about to close in again.
“Rebellious villain, don’t touch my sire!”
The dozen female guards, similarly, came to kill at the same time.
Unfortunately, they were even weaker, and with a mere burst of true qi, Gongsun Huarong shook a dozen of them backwards and sent them flying, all spurting out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, Gongsun Huarong took a step forward and finally arrived directly in front of Sheng Yumei!
