The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 240 Backhand
All is said and done.

The emperor's last glimmer of hope was shattered by Li Miao and Ji Tianrui.

He stepped into the Xiaoling Mausoleum with full confidence because with his martial arts skills, these three people were indeed no match for him.

Although he had hardly left the palace since he ascended the throne, he was extremely careful about his life. He had found several priests and Yin Ruihua to join forces to fight against him in the illusion, and he won every time.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui had two perfect paths and one incomplete path. Emperor Jianwen had three perfect paths, but he had been trapped in a tomb for over a hundred years, his flesh and blood had dried up, and he was far from his peak state.

With the emperor's martial arts skills, these three people should be defeated.

But he overlooked one point.

Even in the illusion, the priests and Yin Ruihua attacked him with all their strength at his request, almost completely simulating a fight that was close to reality.

But he actually knew from the beginning to the end that he would not die.

The state of mind is something that can never be simulated by silence and illumination.

Just like in Li Miao's previous life, there were many athletes who could achieve amazing results in training, even surpassing all previous records. But when it came to the competition that affected their life achievements, they often performed poorly, and even had difficulty performing at 70% to 80% of their usual level.

It was this flaw, which could not even be called a flaw, that was keenly seized upon by Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, which led to a turning point in this game with a huge disparity in strength.

Li Miao's attack of exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives broke the emperor's calm state of mind. Ji Tianrui seized the opportunity to strike with a sword, which made the emperor understand completely -

He might really die.

Looking at the two enemies who were slowly approaching him and were obviously much weaker than him, the emperor moved his feet and involuntarily wanted to take a half step back.

Immediately, he forced himself to suppress the thought.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui are getting closer and closer.

Finally, the two stopped at a distance of ten feet.

The emperor let out a breath slowly.

"well."

He looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"Just now, I wanted to give you a chance to live. After all, today's matter is between Jianwen Jun and me, so I don't necessarily have to kill you two."

"But, since you two are determined to seek death, I am willing to fulfill your wish."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand and punched out!
Li Miao threw a punch, but was repelled by the powerful Qi that far surpassed his own! His feet drew two deep grooves on the ground, and he retreated several feet before stopping!
The emperor had already arrived in front of Ji Tianrui and knocked him down with one palm!
Ji Tianrui's smile disappeared, and his body suddenly bent, as if he had no bones, and he dodged several feet along the ground, avoiding the palm. Then he raised his hand and slashed at the emperor's arm with a sword.

Clang clang——

The emperor punched the sword, and his inner energy burst out, bending the soft sword and making it lose its strange changes.

Ji Tianrui suddenly raised his hand, and a group of poisonous insects flew out from his sleeves and pounced towards the emperor's face.

boom! ! !
It’s that martial art that’s similar to “Heiji Futu” again!

Ji Tianrui had no choice but to withdraw quickly. Li Miao, who had already approached, also had no choice but to retreat.

Swish!
"Varied--!"

Just as the two were concentrating on guarding against the emperor, a cry of surprise from Emperor Jianwen suddenly came from behind them.

Immediately, Emperor Jianwen, who was originally standing behind the two men, seemed to be grabbed by a transparent giant claw, which was rapidly approaching the emperor!
"I have flaws, and so do you!"

"You first wanted to crack my Jizhao, but I can also crack yours!"

"Lord Jianwen, you have been lying underground for over a hundred years. Your blood and flesh have dried up, and your strength is far less than usual! That's why you have been hiding behind me and dare not confront me head-on!"

"You are the flaw!"

"!!!"

Although the emperor had no intention of fighting to the death, he had Ji Zhao and countless celestial beings to practice with him. When it came to finding strategies on the battlefield, he was no less capable than Li Miao. In an instant, he found a way to break the impasse.

If Emperor Jianwen died, Li Miao and Ji Tianrui would immediately fall into the emperor's illusion. Then there would be no chance of a comeback.

Emperor Jianwen fought against the huge suction coming from the front, while continuously attacking the emperor through the air, and waited for the two to rescue him.

But the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Miao and Ji Tianrui.

The two of them did not come to rescue him! Instead, they attacked the emperor directly!

"!!!"

"Could it be that these two people want to take advantage of the fake emperor to attack me and use this opportunity to decide the winner?!"

"How can it be!?"

Emperor Jianwen cursed in his heart.

No matter how hard the two of them tried, they could not threaten the emperor's life in a short period of time. But he did not dare to guarantee that he could survive ten moves from the emperor!

However, it was clear that the two had made up their minds and did not even look at him.

"No, we can't put our lives in the hands of these two!"

"I originally wanted to hide after the false emperor died to guard against the two of them, but now I have to use it!"

As soon as he made up his mind, Emperor Jianwen's face flushed. A stream of white smoke rose from the acupuncture points around his body, covering his figure.

The emperor found that the true energy he had grasped from Emperor Jianwen was suddenly dispersed. He frowned, raised his hand and slapped towards the white smoke.

boom--

The white smoke dissipated, revealing the figure of Emperor Jianwen.

He had a square face, big ears, sword-like eyebrows, bee-like eyes, and a vermilion mole on the side of his nose. He looked young, only in his twenties, and was wearing a torn bright yellow robe, looking at the emperor.

It has completely gotten rid of the appearance of a mummy.

"Oh, this is his hidden trick."

Li Miao cast a playful look at Ji Tianrui.

"Yes."

Ji Tianrui smiled and nodded.

Just from the signs, Li Miao immediately determined the origin of Emperor Jianwen's backup plan.

This is clearly the secret method used by the imperial court to control the offerings from the gods!
The worshippers who had previously fought with the Xiaoling Guards outside the imperial mausoleum had used this method - sacrificing their lifespan in exchange for a state closer to their peak.

When Yin Ruihua surrendered to the emperor, he took him to the door of the tomb. Emperor Jianwen heard their voices at that time and knew that the bet had been overturned and he would never receive the immortal again.

From that moment on, he began to use this secret method.

Suppress your own vital signs to the lowest level, compress the true Qi that circulates throughout the body and store it in your Dantian, along with any remaining life force that has not been consumed.

It was not until this moment that it broke out!
Emperor Jianwen broke free from the emperor's Qi handprint, glanced coldly at Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, and said nothing.

The alliance of three people is extremely fragile.

He couldn't tell whether the two men wanted to take the opportunity to kill the emperor, or wanted to force him to make a move so that they could kill him after the emperor's death.

But now that the latter has been used, there is no reason to look back.

"die."

Emperor Jianwen suddenly approached the emperor and threw a punch, which was exactly the "Destroy the Sun and the Moon" in the "Ming Shenwu Canon"!
The emperor frowned and used the same move "Destroy the Sun and the Moon" to fight back!
boom!
With a loud bang, Li Miao and Ji Tianrui no longer hesitated and rushed towards the emperor together.
