The Anarchic Consort c1-1376
Page 178
Yun Biluo was taken aback by his words, her face turned pale but she was unwilling to give up. "I understand that it's very hard to earn Your Highness' forgiveness, but anyone will get scared when they see golden light coming out from a kid's eyes. You were too brutal back then that you were even more frightful than a pack of wolves. I didn't abandon you, I...I was just going to ask for help."
At that time, His Highness was fully covered in blood and looked horrifying. He was only 10 years old, but he was laughing while standing in a pool of blood. It was as though he enjoyed the massacre.
No one on earth would act that way. Only monsters...only monsters would act in that way.
However, the kid eventually became more honorable, and only then did she know that she was wrong.
But I have offered an apology, didn't I?
Why didn't His Highness give me a second chance!
Yun Biluo grasped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, biting her thin lips and said, "What about Helian Wei Wei? She was even more afraid of you back then, hiding herself away whenever she saw you. Have you forgotten all this?"
Baili Jia Jue stopped playing with the teacup in his hand for a moment upon hearing that.
Bang!
Something burst open the door of the academy, making a shocking noise.
Without sparing a glance for Yun Biluo, Baili Jia Jue locked his eyes on the magistrate who barged in. He was still in his cold majesty, the smile in his eyes grew deep but there was a depth of emotion behind the smile.
"It seems like I haven't lost my temper for so long. Too bad I'm in a bad mood today…"
Upon saying that, he slowly twisted his left hands. Swift and fierce martial Qi appeared out of thin air.
The soldiers who barged in could not get a clear look at his move.
In the twinkling of an eye, all the bodies of the people who barged in exploded at the same time, splashing warm blood all over the place.
"Ahh!!" Wretched cries could be heard in the whole area. There were dozens of soldiers who self-destructed at the same time, their blood and flesh were splashing all over the magistrate who was standing from a distance.
The magistrate's limbs were slightly trembling. He found it hard to breathe, his face went pale and his teeth were chattering. He nearly dropped to his knees on the spot!
In spite of that, he realized that he could not even move. All he could do was staring blankly at the demon-like man who was walking directly toward him.
"Lord Magistrate, why didn't you say anything when you come to see me?" The man curled his lips into a smile and uttered softly with a hint of a smile.
The face before him was over dazzling. Apart from that, the feeling of oppression he gave was even more memorable than his dazzling face.
It had made his dazzling face turned cold and sharp, like a sword that was about to be unsheathed...
Right at this moment!
The deafening noise of hooves could be heard outside the door. The noise was so loud. There must be thousands and thousands of horses out there, to be able to create such noise.
The shining spears and armored horses were here!
The place was really besieged by the enemy troops, a great massacre was about to take place!
Emperor Murong was not as stupid as the magistrate to be at such a short distance away from Baili Jia Jue, he was riding on a horse several meters away.
He locked his eyes on Baili Jia Jue from a distance.
He did not want Baili Jia Jue to recognize him, which was why he covered his face with a mask. A row of archers stood before him to prevent Baili Jia Jue's sudden attack.
But Baili Jia Jue looked at him and sneered, like a superior god or demon overlooking humans who were as tiny as ants. The surrounding soldiers somehow cowered in terror by his cold and imposing manner. "How dare you, Emperor Murong? Are you not afraid that I will slaughter your whole clan?"
Chapter 402 - Wei Wei's Domineering Return!
Emperor Murong hated his sense of superiority, he no longer concealed his identity and removed the mask on his face. He sneered while meeting Baili Jia Jue's eyes and said, "Your Highness has to be alive to slaughter my whole clan. Hehe, judging from the prevailing situation, do you really think you will be able to escape? Even the shadow guards that you sent out just now have to return. All the soldiers of the Green Dragon are now under my control. If you're sensible enough, you better surrender yourself without putting up a fight so as to avoid the people around you from suffering. After all, the fire arrows have no eyes…"
Baili Jia Jue remained silent.
None of the shadow guards were shaken. They remained calm and looked ahead with flashing eyes.
Nonetheless, Baili Jia Jue did not ask for their protection. He took a step forward, slowly and so gracefully that the people around him had forgotten to pull their bows back.
"Do you really think that I would just let you invade and not make any preparation?"
Such a cold and nonchalant tone was the best weapon in a moment like this, echoing in the air and raising a dispute.
Emperor Murong said in disbelief, "The so-called preparation that Your Highness has mentioned before, is it asking for reinforcement from other military barracks? It's a fool's errand. None of them will send their troops!"
Master had made an order himself. All the military barracks under the four influential families were not allowed to leave their encampments!
This time, Baili Jia Jue would, certainly, die!
"Who told you that no one would send troops?"
All of a sudden, an indolent voice that sounded cold could be heard from the fog in the west direction.
"Who's there!" Emperor Murong was irritable as he was interrupted. He waved his arm gesturing all the archers to raise their bows and they started shooting up the dark figure.
The voice vanished for a mere second and reappeared soon after!
"Me."
The fog slowly drifted away, leaving a tall and slender silhouette. This person's legs were long and straight, they were more beautiful than those of the models. She stood in the rolling smoke, her long black robe moving along with the breeze. There was a unique handgun strapped at her waist. It was of the highest quality with an excellent streamlining, shining through its simplicity and luxuriousness.
The silhouette was standing in the white fog. Her lips were curled up a little at the corners, looking charming and evil. However, they were unable to see her face clearly.
They could only vaguely see her indolently putting her long fingers on the gun and looked at Baili Jia Jue not far away with a faint smile on her face. Her aura was perfectly harmonious and penetrating.
A row of people was dimly visible behind her. All of them were wearing black armor and they were unarmed. They were tall and slender, their marching speed was as fast as lightning.
People were prone to disregard their appearances. Looking from afar, they looked like a black tilted mountain that was arriving soon.
The soldiers were bewildered, they were holding bows in their hands but their hands were shaking.
"It's a flag!"
The black thing that was dancing up and down above the army, was actually a huge flag!
There were two lively and vigorous words flourished in calligraphy on the flag… Hidden Army!
The Hidden Army??!!
"That's… that's…" The magistrate was unable to say anything. His leg gave way, sending him tumbling backward.
Whoever had joined the military before would definitely know that the Hidden Army was the one and only ingenious army in the world!
Emperor Murong gazed at Helian Wei Wei as she moved closer. His eyes went wider and wider, as though he saw a grim reaper walking out from hell.
Meanwhile, Murong Changfeng was standing beside Emperor Murong, he stopped breathing for a second.
He was impressed and astonished!
But most of all, he felt an unknown fear!
Everyone thought that the Hidden
Army was wiped out after the family had changed hands.
Unexpectedly, it appeared without warning!
And the leader...
Murong Chang Feng lifted his head abruptly and looked at the face of the slender figure.
It's her!
It's actually her!
Murong Changfeng's eyes were jerking violently.
All these years, the reason he never interfered when the others bullied Helian Wei Wei was because he thought she was an id*ot. He thought she would be of no use to him in any aspect, which was why he obeyed the order of his father to try by hook or by crook and divorced her!
But now… she actually became the leader of the Hidden Army!?
A huge feeling of remorse flooded his heart, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to hide the feeling.
So, it turned out that he had long since regretted, but the feeling was stronger than what he would have felt earlier.
Yun Biluo stood at the corner of the wall and witnessed the scene before her. Her face went pale.
She thought Helian Wei Wei had left after listening to what she said.
Why?
How did she get such a powerful army?
Yun Biluo bit her thin lips, she said that Helian Wei Wei was a coward to run away, but now… this was such a major slap in the face to her!
Unlike the others, Emperor Murong was not fl.u.s.tered at all, so what if they are the Hidden Army.
No matter how great they are, I still have more people than them!
Emperor Murong thought of his reinforcement and sneered at Helian Wei Wei, "A trash like you is quite an eye-opener for me this time."
"You're welcome," No one could beat Helian Wei Wei at being c.o.c.ky. She looked at Emperor Murong and smiled dazzlingly. "This is nothing. You'll have a thorough experience of the power of the ingenious army when we beat you until you cry your heart out for your father and mother."
Emperor Murong's face turned dark as he was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "The chances of winning and losing are uncertain. You want to contend my thousands and thousands of troops with your 100 people? You're so pathetically dumb."
"Pathetically dumb?" Helian Wei Wei's hand brushed against the gun, lifting the corners of her mouth into a smile and said slowly, "You're the pathetic dummy. Have you ever wondered why none of the soldiers from the remaining military barracks came since you invaded the city with your troops."
Emperor Murong would never discover the problem if Helian Wei Wei did not ask the question.
Upon hearing her question, the expression on Emperor Murong's face changed completely, and his face was ashen!
He dragged the soldier beside him closer and growled, "Where are the soldiers from the other military barracks?"
"I, I don't… I don't know." The soldier who was scared trembled with fear.
Emperor Murong pushed him away with force and rebuked, "Trash!"
Right at this moment, a flurried soldier rushed over, the hat on his head was a bit slanted. He panted while reporting, "P… prince, there are enemy troops outside the city. We are not sure which military barrack they are from. The front and back of our reinforcements are outflanked by them, hindering the way to the city!"
"Stop panicking!" Emperor Murong gave him a slap as the soldier's words had obviously cracked their spirit. He waved his long sleeves, forced back the confusion in his mind and sneered, "Listen to me, everyone! Even though they are the ingenious Hidden Army, there are only 100 of them and we have thousands and thousands of army. It is impossible for them to defeat us! There's nothing to worry about. Raise your bow and we can defeat them with only one bow from each of you!"
"Is that so?" Helian Wei Wei lifted her beautiful brows upon hearing that. She turned to talk with Little Bald Head behind her and smiled wickedly, "Little Seven, go and bring Third Aunt the gun. The Prince wants to win through numerical superiority, so we would have to change our weapon too."
Chapter 403 - Black-hearted Prince Kissing In Public
Little Seventh Prince nodded seriously. With a bend of his waist, he lifted up a black thing and showed it to Helian Wei Wei.
That thing was almost longer than the prince himself. When putting upright, it could almost touch the little one's nose. It appeared metallic and extremely heavy.
When the rest have yet to notice, Helian Wei Wei lifted the thing up at once. With a smile, she exclaimed, "Hidden Army, heed my command. Everybody equips yourself with the 18- round heavy machine gun!"
A chain of clicks and clacks followed soon after.
All the soldiers in black raised their arms, with their left arm as support, they lifted up a mysterious 'black tube' with their right arm.
"This is the equipment you were talking about?"
Emperor Murong laughed, obviously looking down on the 'bamboo pipes'.
Even the 18 men in black were staring at each other, dumbstruck. They could not comprehend the reason why the princess consort ordered them to take up this toy.
However, Baili Jia Jue's beautiful eyes sunk a little when he saw the 'black tubes'. He looked at Helian Wei Wei's eyes with his dark as ink, focused and calm eyes.
Just then, Helian Wei Wei had lifted up her sniping cannon, rested it upon her shoulders, and adjusted her aim. Then, with a sinister smile, she pressed the trigger!
Ka-boom!
A red light exploded, and the sturdy roofs were suddenly overturned. Five to six archers fell out from where they were hiding at once. The roof tiles rolled on the limestone roads while an unbelievable deafening blast rushed through everyone's ears.
In the swirling smoke, the magistrate was shell-shocked. His jaw was wide open as he stared in disbelief at the woman who was carrying the long black tube while walking toward him. His initially wobbly legs could no longer even be felt.
"What exactly is that?" The magistrate was out of control; he was almost yelling, "What the heck is that?"
Emperor Murong's face was clearly displaying the chill in his spine. This was also the question in his heart!
How can someone destroy a house by a lift of hand?
Are those explosives?
But how did they ignite it within seconds?
Many thoughts zipped past Emperor Murong's mind.
But the only one that stayed was, we're done for!
Even with an army of over ten thousand men, they had no chance of victory.
How could they win!
Why did no one ever tell him that there is a weapon like this on the Divine Mainland?
What on earth is that?!
However, that was not the end.
When the explosions were invading them, countless trained Hidden Army soldiers fired simultaneously, all of them hitting beside the feet of his soldiers. In the thick smoke, Helian Wei Wei stepped forward in a relaxed and handsome manner. Then, she handed one of the sniping cannons to Little Seven.
The magistrate's archers hidden in ambush were all scared witless. Helian Wei Wei's strike was enough to stifle their movements, and the weapons held by the Hidden Army turned their legs to jelly.
They could no longer lift their bows and arrows. Not only were the opponents faster, but their kill accuracy was also way higher than them.
The terrifying smoke burned still beside their feet. No matter how Emperor Murong shouted, the archers stayed in the same pose.
Emperor Murong who had planned this for so long, who had once thought he held victory firmly in his hands, was now completely panicked. He looked at the figure moving closer and closer to him, and he instinctively pulled a soldier over his front to cover himself.
But in the next second, that soldier was slain.
A stain of bright red blood spilled on his face. The woman not far away curved her lips upward slightly. Her white muslin garment danced wildly in the hot wind. The Night Rakshasa's most enchanting wings were flying gracefully. A bewitching red reflected on her face, revealing an unconcealable arrogance and confidence. Even the prettiest colors were o
nly props to her.
Thud!
The magistrate could no longer hold himself, hence he fell kneeling to the ground, crying and shouting, "Forgive me, princess consort, forgive me!"
It's over, it's all over...
The put down the bows in their hands one by one, and all of them kowtowed. It was truly an awesome sight to behold.
Helian Wei Wei was still carrying the same cannon. She raised her brow at the magistrate, and started indolently, "It's no use begging me, you have to beg the prince."
The magistrate was stunned, then he looked at Baili Jia Jue.
The man was untainted by a speck of dust even in the boisterous smoke. A noble cape rested on his shoulders, and he appeared like an emperor who held authority over life and death.
It was in these moments that he seemed to be the coldest and most dangerous person.
As if he was deity meant to slay the world, exuding an absolute pressure.
The magistrate was shaking. He could still beg for mercy before Helian Wei Wei. But before this man, he could only kowtow, again and again, knocking the ground so loud that those who heard it could feel his pain!
Baili Jia Jue ignored him and rested his gaze on Helian Wei Wei's tiny face.
Helian Wei Wei did not understand why he had to stare at her, so she frowned.
"Come here."
Regardless of the situation, the Third Prince's voice was always commanding, slow and distant.
Noticing the many students and the surrendered archers around, Helian Wei Wei could only give face to Baili Jia Jue. She marched toward him dashingly with the cannon on her shoulders.
But before she could finish her dashing march, Baili Jia Jue raised her chin with his hand.
Helian Wei Wei's narrow eyes were suddenly opened wide, like a stupefied fox held by a tiger in its mouth.
Wait… is he planning to… kiss me… here?
Well, Helian Wei Wei had overthought.
