The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 243 Three Paths Completed
The two emperors punched each other, and the true energy and strength concentrated at one point exploded, and even their own bones could not bear it. The flesh and blood on the fists were like flowers that suddenly bloomed, revealing the white finger bones.

The two men did not dodge or evade, and continued to fight without caring about their injuries.

The moves are from the same source and the realm is the same.

For a moment, it was difficult to tell who would win.

The emperor is a smart man. If he were not smart, he would not have been away from government affairs for more than ten years and still been able to hold power firmly in his hands.

After Emperor Jianwen's reminder, he immediately changed his mindset, no longer hesitating, and concentrated on fighting a life-and-death battle with Emperor Jianwen.

Everyone has something unshakable in his heart. For Li Miao, it is "original heart", for Zhu Zai, it is "Zhu family", and for the emperor, it is "life and death".

He only cares about his own life and death.

That's why he just thought of escaping, even though it would leave him with three serious threats, even though it might directly split Dashuo in two.

It was not until he heard the words of Emperor Jianwen that he gave up the idea.

Emperor Jianwen's words were not meant to be kind, they were just to discourage the emperor from escaping, and the emperor knew this very well.

But, he didn't lie either.

In terms of probability, if the emperor fled, there might be a 60% chance that he would die, but there was still a 40% chance that he would actually escape; if he stayed and fought to the death, the chances of him winning or losing against Emperor Jianwen would be 50-50.

It sounds like Emperor Jianwen has simply lowered his chances of winning by 10%.

But this is just an outsider's perspective.

In the mind of Emperor Jianwen, if he let the emperor escape, he would only have a 60% chance of killing the emperor. Instead of fighting to the death, he would definitely be the one who survived.

This is not boasting that ignores reality, but "the determination to win." If you don't firmly believe that you will win, then you are not worthy of stepping onto the battlefield.

In a moment, traces of the fight between the two men had spread across the entire square.

The ground had been completely "plowed". Even the illusion of silence and illumination could not cover up the bottomless pits that were more than ten feet in radius.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui leisurely avoided the route of the two emperors' fight, as if they were tourists visiting, without paying any attention to the vigilant looks that the two majesties glanced at them from time to time.

"how exciting."

Li Miao took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and spoke while cracking them.

"After today, the four-way combined fight will not happen again for at least a few years."

Ji Tianrui said.

"Oh? Several years? So short?"

Li Miao glanced at Ji Tianrui.

"Aren't there Lord Li and me here?"

Ji Tianrui smiled.

"You know clearly that I won't let you go."

"Of course, I understand Lord Li's character. You said you would kill me, and you will definitely kill me. It's just that you have to rank behind the emperor now. You and I will definitely fight to the death."

"You are sensible. I will give you some melon seeds as a reward."

Li Miao sneered and handed a handful of melon seeds to Ji Tianrui.

Ji Tianrui took it, chuckled, glanced at Li Miao, and started eating it like Li Miao.

Although the two men's words were full of hostility, they looked like friends chatting.

On the other hand, the fight between the two emperors has gradually shown signs of coming to an end.

The situation is tilting towards the emperor.

"Jianwen Jun! How is it!"

The emperor suddenly stretched out his hands to grab the Jianwen Emperor's shoulders and tore them with force, leaving five deep wounds.

"You said that my state of mind is flawed, that's true! But what about you! Without your own martial arts, how can your physique be comparable to that of Taizu? How can you bring this 'Ming Shen Wu Dian' to its full potential!"

Emperor Jianwen had a cold look in his eyes. He raised his hand to block the emperor's claws, then rushed forward and punched the emperor in the chest and abdomen, which was blocked by the emperor.

"I was actually frightened by you just now. You got this state from the poisonous insect of the witch, not from your own cultivation! How can you use it in such a hurry!"

The two men exchanged punches again, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

"As for my determination to die, I don't despise my life as much as you do. But as for my determination to live, I am much more determined than you!"

The illusion above the square gradually distorted, and more and more blood and corpses emerged.

As the emperor gradually gained the upper hand, his fear of Emperor Jianwen also decreased, and the illusion of silence became stronger and stronger, suppressing the illusion of Emperor Jianwen.

"almost."

Ji Tianrui threw away the uneaten melon seeds in his hand and drew out his soft sword.

"If we fight any longer, someone will die. No matter who survives, the first thing they will do is kill you and me and put an end to today's matter once and for all."

"When the situation is tilted and I am injured but not killed, it is the best time."

popping.

Li Miao clapped his hands, stood up and shook his neck.

During this time, he has healed all his injuries and adjusted his condition to its peak.

"After playing supporting role all night, it's almost time to serve the main course."

The two walked side by side towards the battle circle.

"Remember this, people have to die in my hands. If they die in your hands, all our efforts will be wasted."

"of course."

Swish!Swish!
Two soft sounds.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui had already appeared behind the emperor!

With one punch and one sword, they attacked the emperor's back!

"Sure enough, it's here!"

The emperor thought to himself.

Although Li Miao and Ji Tianrui acted as if they were just watching the fun, how could the two emperors who were fighting ignore them? As soon as they moved, they were noticed by the two emperors.

"Well done!"

The emperor roared angrily, and with a palm that had been ready to strike, he directly repelled Emperor Jianwen, and turned around and punched the two men!

Now that he has gained the upper hand in the battle with Emperor Jianwen, the only variable lies between these two people!
He had been waiting for the two of them to come to him!

"Ah."

A light laugh came from Li Miao behind him.

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank!

wrong!

Wrong location!

Li Miao was clearly in front of him, but the laughter clearly came from Emperor Jianwen behind him!
Illusion? Phantom?
No, he clearly did not achieve “silent enlightenment”!
Could it be that Emperor Jianwen used illusions to confuse my five senses? But if Emperor Jianwen created an illusion, I, who was fighting with him mentally, could not have failed to notice it!
In an instant, the emperor's mind raced, and then he suddenly clenched his teeth, dissipated the strength of this move, changed the move to a palm and tentatively hit Li Miao, while turning around again to guard behind him.

Bang!
The emperor's pupils shrank again.

His tentative palm was locked by someone.

"You should trust your eyes a little more."

Li Miao's voice came from behind. Ji Tianrui waved his hand to disperse the insects that vibrated their elytra to imitate Li Miao's laughter, and the soft sword suddenly rolled up and entangled the emperor's other hand.

"Your Majesty! Now!"

How could Emperor Jianwen miss this opportunity? He approached the emperor and struck him in the chest with all his strength!

The emperor struggled hard, but for a moment he couldn't break free from the grip of Li Miao and the others! And Emperor Jianwen had already attacked him!
It seems that life and death will be decided!

The emperor suddenly clenched his teeth, and his inner energy surged!
boom! ! !
It was again that technique that emitted sword energy from the major acupoints throughout the body, and this time the time it took to recover the energy would only be one breath!
This breath of recovery time was a huge flaw in this fight. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, he would never use this technique again.

Dust and smoke suddenly rose, and the emperor's locked arms suddenly loosened. It should be that Li Miao and Ji Tianrui pulled away to avoid the sword energy.

Taking this opportunity, the emperor hid in the dust and smoke, trying his best to recover his breath! At the same time, he looked around!

"No attack!?"

The emperor frowned.

"Impossible, how could they let go of this opportunity and let me recover my energy?"

"What on earth are they planning?"

After a moment, the emperor's true energy was restored to full again.

He pushed out with one palm, dispersing the dust and smoke.

When the scene outside the dust and smoke came into his eyes, he was stunned.

Emperor Jianwen was standing about ten feet in front of him.

His body was covered in blood, and from his jaw to his calves, there were hundreds of holes densely distributed. Those were the wounds caused by the sword energy shot out from the acupoints all over his body.

And in front of his chest, a palm was revealed.

A hand pierced his body from behind and pierced his heart.

Li Miao's palm.

Emperor Jianwen slowly turned his head and looked at Li Miao and Ji Tianrui behind him. Blood flowed from all his orifices and his eyes were filled with shock, anger and astonishment.

"I would like to thank your Majesties for their cooperation. To be honest, I thought I would have to fight for a while before I could find an opportunity."

"I didn't expect it to work as soon as I got here. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

From behind Emperor Jianwen, Li Miao's smiling voice came.

"If it weren't for your majesty's martial arts, even if Master Ji and I fought for an incense stick, we might not be able to break Emperor Jianwen's horizontal training."

"you--"

As soon as Emperor Jianwen opened his mouth, blood gushed out.

As if knowing what Emperor Jianwen wanted to say, Ji Tianrui replied with a chuckle.

"When Your Majesty took over my Gu, were you wondering if I had any tricks up my sleeve?"

"But you think that my backup plan can't threaten you with the four combined forces. As long as the emperor dies, you will have time to kill me. That's why you used my poisonous insect."

"You are right. I did have a backup plan, and it is indeed not a threat to you. It can only cause your Jiezi realm to regress for a moment."

"But at this moment, without the restraint of Jie Zi, your strength and Qi will flow wildly through your meridians, causing your current moves and Qinggong to be suddenly interrupted."

"Of course, if it were just me and Lord Li, we wouldn't be able to do anything to you in this split second. But the emperor can. It was my backup plan just now that interrupted your Qinggong and horizontal training, leaving you standing there, taking all the sword energy from the emperor."

"Why--"

Emperor Jianwen squeezed out these words from the constantly gushing blood.

why?
Why did Li Miao and Ji Tianrui attack him at this time?
Why should I cooperate with the emperor to kill myself?
If he died, given the realms of Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, they would definitely die at the hands of the emperor.

Why would they do this? To die?

In terms of hatred and conflicts, the emperor's entanglement with these two people is far deeper than his.

Even if it means exchanging lives, the target should not be him!
"Don't think too much."

"I'm killing you first, just because you're easier to kill."

Li Miao slowly pulled out his hand.

In his hand, he held a round ball of flesh and blood that was beating slowly.

Li Miao stretched out his hand and handed the piece of flesh and blood to Ji Tianrui.

"Master Ji, your 'Silent Illumination'."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Ji Tianrui chuckled, reached out to take the heart, inserted her finger into it, picked out a poisonous insect, put it in her mouth and swallowed it.

As the poisonous insect was taken out of the flesh and blood, the distorted illusion of the Hall of Supreme Harmony above the square suddenly dissipated, and was then filled with an illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood of the emperor.

Emperor Jianwen's state of "silent enlightenment" disappeared.

In an instant, Emperor Jianwen understood Ji Tianrui's plan.

Give the "Jie Zi" poisonous insect to him, and then take out the "Ji Zhao" from his heart.

With this poisonous insect, Ji Tianrui can enter the realm of three-way perfection.

But - I'm dead, and now that you have completed three routes, do you think you can compete with the emperor?

"Of course I'm not the only one."

Ji Tianrui seemed to understand the look in Emperor Jianwen's eyes and said with a chuckle. Then he turned to look at Li Miao.

"Master Li, how long will it take you?"

Li Miao looked at Emperor Jianwen, then looked at the emperor opposite him who looked astonished.

"How long is the ion time now?"

"About a moment."

"Then we need Master Ji to hold the emperor back for a while."

Ji Tianrui smiled sweetly and nodded.

"it is good."

She drew her sword and walked towards the emperor.

Li Miao suddenly put his palms together like a knife and cut into Emperor Jianwen's neck.

With his heart separated from his body and his heart meridians severed, there was no more true energy left in Emperor Jianwen's body, and his horizontal training technique also dissipated.

Now he is only slightly tougher than an ordinary celestial being and cannot block Li Miao's palm knife.

The palm knife cuts in from the left and slashes out from the right.

Emperor Jianwen's head fell to the ground.

Li Miao sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

"The emperor one hundred and forty-two years ago was also an emperor."

"The life of the Emperor Jianwen is heavy enough for someone who is competing with the Emperor Chengzu for the throne and the Emperor for the world today."

"The 'salary' I get from killing him should be enough."

"Three ways, complete."
