The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 246 Death Fight
"you!"

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Not for a moment—"

"It's not time yet, is it?"

Li Miao's fist turned red, white smoke came out, and the wound slowly healed.

"Didn't Master Ji say 'about a moment'?"

"'About' means roughly. A little more or less is common sense. Your Majesty, have you ever read a book? You don't even understand this?"

"Besides, do you really believe what I say?"

Li Miao looked at the headless body of Emperor Jianwen, then looked at the emperor with a gloomy face.

"Why are you Zhu family members so easy to deceive?"

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui had already figured out the emperor's character. In Li Miao's words from his previous life, he was an "egoist" with an "antisocial personality". All his actions were based on his own life, and he didn't care about anything else.

If a person has something that he "absolutely cares about", then his actions are easy to predict. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the emperor will never put his life on the gambling table and risk his life.

The two of them deliberately exaggerated the time it took Li Miao to make a breakthrough in order to delay the emperor's decision.

Sure enough, he was fooled.

The moment Li Miao opened his eyes, sword energy burst out from the major acupoints all over the emperor's body.

Ji Tianrui's "Gu Sword" was not good at head-on combat, so Li Miao flashed in front of her and smashed the incoming sword energy with his fist.

And then, it’s the present moment.

The emperor was so angry that his veins bulged when he heard Li Miao say "easy to cheat".

Since he took the throne, he has always used his power for his own benefit, and he also has the ability to play with his subjects at will. He always thinks he is a smart man, and the facts prove that he is indeed a smart man.

But tonight, he was like a beast caught in a trap, rushing left and right, and every time he made up his mind to fight and kill one person, he fell into the trap of two people instead.

He seemed like one of those fools that he usually controlled in his hands!
"Your Majesty, are you wondering why we have been able to trick you tonight, even though you used to be able to manipulate your subjects so easily?"

Ji Tianrui walked out from behind Li Miao and said with a smile.

"The wisdom of an emperor is not the same as the wisdom of a warrior."

Li Miao took over the conversation.

"You lack the decisiveness to make decisions on the battlefield, and the courage to fight to the death. You are a smart emperor, but a stupid warrior."

"From the moment you step into this fight with full confidence, you have actually stepped into our home court."

"If you want to be an emperor, then be an emperor. If you want to practice martial arts, then practice martial arts. But you confuse them. You are lucky to be alive today."

The wound on Li Miao's fist had healed, and he threw the broken flesh and blood onto the ground with a flick of his hand.

"However, Your Majesty can rest assured that we have played all our cards. Life is our last chip."

"Next, it's time to decide life or death."

The emperor slowly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves and his eyes moved back and forth over Li Miao.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly and he shouted in surprise.

"You haven't achieved 'Silent Illumination'! What you have perfected is the Three Paths of Life!"

"of course."

Li Miao shrugged.

"I don't have any method to practice sexual skills, how can I achieve perfection in a realm that I haven't even practiced? I don't have a convenient Gu insect like Master Ji."

"it is good!"

A relieved smile appeared on the emperor's face.

Li Miao did not achieve the state of Jizhao, and Ji Tianrui's realm was one level lower than his, so the illusion was still under his control.

This will be his chance to win!
Bang!
The emperor stomped his foot on the ground, causing it to break and he sank deeply into the bluestone slabs.

Suddenly, almost endless blood gushed out from the hole he stomped, filling the entire square in an instant. The strong smell of blood almost instantly filled the nostrils of Li Miao and Ji Tianrui. The blood flooded Li Miao's calves and soaked into his clothes, leaving a disgusting warmth on his skin.

The entire square turned into a pool of blood.

Gulp, gurgle, gurgle. The blood pool was boiling, and a white light rose from the scarlet.

Skull, hand bones, finger bones, arm bones, and leg bones.

Scattered and broken bones suddenly rose from the blood, along with hundreds of rotten weapons, pushing the smell of rust in the air to the limit of human senses.

The bright moonlight reflected from the surface of the blood pool and turned scarlet, making the emperor's thin face look like a demon.

Li Miao frowned and turned to look at Ji Tianrui.

"Master Ji, his illusion seems to be more real than before?"

Ji Tianrui chuckled.

"To use the mind to imprint the mind, this is the most fundamental use of silence and enlightenment."

"Before, when Emperor Jianwen was here, he couldn't spread it. Now that I have stolen Emperor Jianwen's Ji Zhao, it is somewhat unstable, and my realm is one level lower than his, so he can use this method."

"This scene is a reflection of his true mind, and it is also his most powerful illusion. Not only can he create illusions, but here he can even affect the flow of your and my true energy."

"You and I need to be careful."

Li Miao turned his head to look at the emperor, then glanced around the square at the piles of bones that almost filled his vision, and finally moved his gaze to the blood that had submerged his calves under his feet.

"It's a reflection of one's true heart, isn't it?"

"One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of lives? The emperor's anger leads to the shedding of blood for thousands of miles?"

"Ah."

Li Miao stared at the emperor.

"Really——"

"You, Dao, Ming, Jun."

The scene was quiet for a moment.

It was as if the bowstring was stretched to its limit, and as if the air was slowly tightened by a pair of invisible hands.

boom! ! !
A huge amount of blood suddenly exploded, and Li Miao, like a meteorite, cut a tunnel several feet wide in the blood pool. Waves several feet high rose on both sides of the route, scattering the bones on the square.

In an instant, Li Miao arrived in front of the emperor.

"So fast!?"

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank.

"He only has three paths of destiny, not a life-and-death connection. In my illusion, it seems that there are no restrictions at all!"

The emperor's mind was racing, and he had no time to think carefully.

Li Miao's fist has reached him!

The emperor raised his palm to push Li Miao's arm away, but as soon as he did so, his pupils contracted instantly.

“So heavy!?”

He had only seen Ji Tianrui and Emperor Jianwen as opponents with three perfect opponents. He used the same strength to deal with these two people, but found that he could not even move Li Miao's arm!

In a hurry, the emperor could only turn his head to avoid Li Miao's fist.

Hiss!

There was a sound of air being torn by my ears. The strong wind blew off the emperor's hat and his hair was torn apart, leaving it flying everywhere.

Li Miao's fist had been clenched into a knife, and he chopped it down fiercely towards the emperor's shoulder!
The emperor turned sideways and hit Li Miao's forearm with his elbow.

Li Miao instantly changed his palm knife into a claw, grabbed the emperor's elbow, and suddenly pulled it back with force, breaking the emperor's posture!

And then comes - Tieshankao!

boom!
Dengdengdengdeng-

The emperor stepped back dozens of steps, and his arms, which he hastily blocked in front of his chest, felt numb.

Zheng!
Before he could catch his breath, he heard the sound of a soft sword cutting through the air from behind him.
