The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 244 A Moment

From the very beginning, it was impossible for Li Miao to really form an alliance with Emperor Jianwen.

The emperor was cannibalistic, and so was Emperor Jianwen; if the emperor wanted to attack members of the royal family, Emperor Jianwen would certainly attack members of the royal family after he won.

In fact, they are all the same kind.

Moreover, from the moment Li Miao stepped onto the stage, the conflict between him and the two emperors became irreconcilable.

Who is Li Miao?
He has no celestial inheritance, no rare treasures, and has cultivated himself to the present day relying on a bunch of tattered fragments from the Imperial Guards without saying a word. The only things he has spent on are some wine and food. He cannot compare with any celestial being.

If he is given another ten years, who knows what he can achieve? Which emperor would want to have a god riding on his head? The final outcome is just a matter of who strikes first and who dies first.

Therefore, Li Miao and Ji Tianrui's initial plan was to first form an alliance with Emperor Jianwen, and then send the poisonous insect to Emperor Jianwen when he was at a disadvantage, and finally Li Miao would take action and wait for an opportunity to kill Emperor Jianwen.

Li Miao got the "salary" and Ji Tianrui got the "Silent Illumination" poison. With their strength far exceeding that of the masters of the same level, they had the capital to compete with the emperor.

Now, it all depends on whether Ji Tianrui can stop the emperor for a moment.

--------

Li Miao walked slowly on the dark beach.

A storm was slowly rolling over the black sea in the distance.

When he collected his salary before, he saw fragmented images. And this black beach was an illusion seen by people who approached him when he collected his salary.

This was the first time he had seen this scenery with his own eyes.

Li Miao squatted down, picked up some sand, and rubbed it slowly between his fingers.

The weight, the smell, the feel of hundreds of grains of gravel rubbing against his fingertips, the gravel fragments being rubbed into even finer pieces.

Everything is so real.

The reality is nothing like an illusion or a dream.

Li Miao frowned slowly.

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be so real.

After the previous fight, he had roughly figured out the details of "Silent Illumination". Although this state can communicate with each other and project illusions, it also has many limitations.

The most crucial point is that it is difficult to "create something out of nothing" and create a completely fictional illusion.

The style of the illusion is determined by the person who sets it up. Every plant and tree in it must first be imagined in one's own mind before it can be reflected in the minds of others.

If it is completely fictional, you have to imagine all the details out of thin air - the smell, humidity, the touch of your feet, the quality of things, the reflection of light, etc. No one's mind can withstand such a great consumption.

Therefore, the illusions constructed by Emperor Jianwen and the emperors were either scenes that they were familiar with, or things that they were familiar with were laid out in the illusions, or they were slight modifications to the real scenes.

Li Miao had never seen a pure black beach, and it was even more impossible for him to imagine such real and fine black sand.

Li Miao had never been to the beach in his previous and next lives.

He originally thought that his "eight-hour work system" had the same origin as silence and illumination.

But now it seems that he has only found a vague clue and is far from touching the essence of this thing.

"That's fine."

"Yes, there is no need to rush."

Li Miao scattered gravel at his feet, sat cross-legged, supported his chin with one hand, and quietly looked at the storm above the sea.

After a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

--------

"Go away!"

The emperor punched Ji Tianrui and pushed him back several feet. He flashed and rushed to Li Miao who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He didn't know what happened, nor did he know why Li Miao and Ji Tianrui suddenly attacked Emperor Jianwen. But he knew very well that Li Miao and Ji Tianrui were determined to kill him, and he also knew that the two of them did not kill Emperor Jianwen on a whim.

Judging from Li Miao's condition, he clearly seemed to be "breaking through" or "meditating".

Although no one knew why after killing Emperor Jianwen, Li Miao suddenly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, allowing Ji Tianrui to hold him.

But the emperor understood one thing - he could not sit idly by and watch Li Miao complete his plan!
But just as he took two steps, the tip of Ji Tianrui's sword had already snaked up from his side like a leech on the tarsal bone, reaching towards his neck.

"Your Majesty, you can't rush over if you can't kill me."

Ji Tianrui's annoying chuckle rang in his ears.

The emperor stopped helplessly, grabbed the sword, and tried to wrap the soft sword around his hand like before, trying to take away Ji Tianrui's weapon first.

"hehe."

Swish!
The soft sword was suddenly pulled away, the emperor withdrew his hand and slowly clenched his fist.

A long narrow wound was left on the palm of his hand, which was gradually healing as the healing technique was running.

"Your Majesty, my sword is not something you can just grab at will."

Ji Tianrui appeared ten feet away, blocking the emperor's view of Li Miao.

"Your Majesty, I've said it before, if you don't kill me, you won't be able to rush to Lord Li."

She said with a chuckle.

"I am a Miaojiang witch, a medicine man born from witchcraft, with a sinister and treacherous mind. My self-created martial arts are naturally the same as my mind."

"My 'Gu Sword' may not be comparable to Lord Li's 'My Fist' in terms of frontal attack. But when it comes to corroding bones and marrow and harming people secretly, it is much better."

Ji Tianrui made a sword flower.

"You have tried it just now. Now my sword can break your horizontal attack at any time."

"I suggest you focus on killing me and not on Lord Li. Once I'm dead, you can go looking for trouble with Lord Li without any worries."

"Otherwise, the next sword might drill into your brain."

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water.

Like Emperor Jianwen, Ji Tianrui was telling the truth.

She used a soft sword, which was inherently unpredictable. Coupled with her "Gu Sword", it became even more unpredictable.

A sword thrust out, twisting and turning in the air like a poisonous insect, making it impossible to guess where it would land.

Before, her realm was low and she couldn't break the emperor's horizontal training, so she didn't pose much of a threat. She only needed to protect her face and lower body.

But now, she has achieved the perfection of the three paths, and her life and soul have been united. Moreover, the illusion of "silent illumination" is combined with the sword technique, making her moves even more ethereal and unpredictable.

Under such circumstances, if the emperor continued to rush towards Li Miao and focused most of his attention on Li Miao, he would probably reveal his flaws and be stabbed in the vitals by Ji Tianrui.

The emperor stopped and stared at Ji Tianrui.

"Yes, your majesty, that's right."

Ji Tianrui pointed his sword at the emperor.

"Come, kill me in a moment."

"You win."

"Okay! Then I'll kill you, the witch, first, and then kill this villain!"

The emperor suddenly roared angrily and rushed towards Ji Tianrui.
