The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 60 The mantis stalks the cicada

The countless silver threads intertwined and entwined, instantly forming a huge silver net that, though seemingly soft, was incredibly resilient, managing to hold back the giant hand that was descending from the sky.

"Boom!"

The violent energy ripples spread outwards, instantly leveling the already dilapidated walls of the Prince's mansion. Even the ground was plowed with shocking deep trenches by this force.

The two exchanged blows, each strike potentially fatal, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched contest.

Lin Ruofu's attacks were wide and powerful, his palm strikes fierce and domineering, each strike carrying the power to destroy the world.

Wei Jiuqian, on the other hand, moved with unpredictable movements and used subtle yet ruthless techniques, leaving Lin Ruofu powerless to use his strength.

For a time, neither of these two top experts from the Great Yan Dynasty could defeat the other.

While the two were locked in fierce combat, the three Lin family Soul Platform Realm experts who had been waiting for an opportunity suddenly made their move.

The three exchanged a glance, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes.

"Ignore old man Shen, kill Lu Xuan!"

"Once Lu Xuan dies, everything will be over!"

The three of them bypassed Shen Qiansan and Su Qinghuan and went straight for Lu Xuan, who was standing in the main hall.

Shen Qiansan roared, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing an abacus that gleamed with gold. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rare high-grade spiritual artifact.

He suddenly flicked the abacus beads, and countless golden rays shot towards one of the Soul Platform Realm experts like sharp arrows.

Seeing this, Su Qinghuan also let out a delicate shout, brandishing her longsword. The purple sword energy transformed into a sea of ​​flowers, enveloping the other powerful figure.

But there were three of them after all!

Moreover, two of them are genuine experts at the mid-stage of the Soul Platform Realm.

It's simply impossible for Shen Qiansan and Su Qinghuan alone to completely stop them.

Just as Li Cangtian was about to rush in front of Lu Xuan, the dagger in his hand, emitting a ghostly light, was less than three inches away from Lu Xuan's throat.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but gasp in surprise, instinctively lunging forward to try and shield Lu Xuan from the blow.

However, he was so overwhelmed by that terrifying pressure that he was completely unable to move.

In contrast, Lu Xuan remained standing firmly in place, his expression indifferent, without even blinking.

"The people His Majesty ordered us to protect, are you bunch of scum allowed to touch them?"

A sinister voice quietly drifted out from the shadows in a corner of the Prince's mansion.

Immediately afterwards, three figures dressed in gray robes with sinister faces appeared out of nowhere, like ghosts and phantoms.

"Pfft!"

As Li Cangtian lunged at Lu Xuan, his vision blurred, and a tearing pain shot through his chest.

He instinctively looked down and was horrified to find a withered, skeletal hand ignoring his protective spiritual power and deeply embedded in his chest!

"you……"

Li Cangtian's eyes widened, but before he could even see the face of the person who attacked him, his head lolled to the side and he died.

"Who goes there?!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining two Lin family experts were greatly alarmed. They quickly stopped and retreated rapidly before gathering together, staring warily at the three uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared.

All three were pale and beardless, and the chilling aura emanating from them was in no way weaker than theirs!

They were also three experts at the Soul Platform Realm.

Moreover, judging from their strange movements and techniques, they are clearly masters trained by Wei Jiuqian.

"His Majesty had long anticipated that Prime Minister Lin would resort to desperate measures, and therefore specially ordered my three brothers to follow our godfather and wait here."

The gray-robed eunuch in the lead slowly shook the blood off his hands and gave a sinister smile.

"Kill him, you scoundrel!"

At his command, three gray-robed eunuchs rushed forward and engaged the remaining two Lin family experts in battle.

The situation immediately reversed.

Lu Heng, who had been hiding in the shadows, was stunned by what he saw.

It was one thing for Wei Jiuqian to take action personally, but he even mobilized three Soul Platform Realm experts from the most elite Shadow Guards in the Imperial Palace!

This is clearly the emperor's intention!

"Why?!"

Lu Heng's eyes were bloodshot, his fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms, and he was completely unaware of the blood dripping from them.

"From childhood to adulthood, haven't you always doted on me the most?"

"Why would you use such resources to protect a useless third prince, even going so far as to depose me from my position as crown prince?!"

Jealousy, resentment, despair...

All sorts of negative emotions gnawed at his heart like venomous snakes, causing him to completely lose his mind.

"Since you're showing favoritism, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A hint of madness flashed in Lu Heng's eyes.

"Once the third son dies, you'll have no choice!"

"This Great Yan land, in the end, is still mine alone!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly waved his hand.

"Let's do it!"

"Save them all, kill them all!"

From the shadows surrounding the Prince's mansion, another group of men in black emerged.

While these people's auras were not as strong as those three Soul Platform Realm experts, they had the advantage of large numbers, numbering more than ten.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the leader was actually at the early stage of the Soul Platform Realm!

These were the Shadow Assassins, assassins whom Lu Heng had secretly trained over the years.

That was also his last trump card!

"The Crown Prince?"

Wei Jiuqian, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Lin Ruofu, changed his expression slightly upon seeing this scene.

He never expected that the Crown Prince would get involved as well!

And he even brought so many assassins with him!

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!"

Wei Jiuqian roared angrily.

"Your Highness, you are digging your own grave!"

"Openly leading troops to besiege the Prince's residence is a heinous crime of treason!"

"Treason?"

Lu Heng emerged from the shadows, a maniacal smile on his face.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain!"

"As long as Lu Xuan is killed, I will be the sole heir!"

"At that time, who will dare to accuse me of treason?"

On the other side, Lin Ruofu saw this scene and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Good nephew!"

"well done!"

He was entangled by Wei Jiuqian and felt somewhat anxious.

Now that Lu Heng has brought in fresh troops, the situation has become delicate once again.

"Wei Jiuqian, it seems the heavens are determined to kill this little beast today!"

Lin Ruofu laughed wildly, his attack becoming even more ferocious, holding Wei Jiuqian back tightly and preventing him from having a chance to rescue him.
