Along with the prompt sound, a thick smoke rose in the palace, followed by a raging flame, which ignited in an instant. There was more than one fire, and it was obvious that someone had deliberately set it on fire.

"Wu Man!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran was shocked, and the first person that came to his mind was Wu Man.

In the Forbidden City, even though the talismans have been wrapped up, the 3,000 imperial guards inside are not vegetarians.

Anyone who has the ability to set fire everywhere in the palace in such a short time must be no weaker than a master of Tongxuan.

But such a master is very eye-catching no matter where he stands. He is both powerful and low-key. Among the people Xiao Ran can think of, only Wu Man can do this.

But why did Wu Man do this?
He turned around to look at Huang Chao, only to see Huang Chao looking at Xiao Ran with a smile on his face: "You think you are very smart, using the opponent's force to counter attack, just like a chess player, but you don't understand one thing, you are not the only one playing chess!"

Time moves forward.

That was what happened yesterday morning.

Huang Chao and Deng Wenzhu were still in the private room of the teahouse.

"Master, let Shen Xuanjun do this, right..."

Deng Wenzhu frowned.

It's not that he looked down on Shen Xuanjun, but according to his observation, this person has some strength and can be considered a second-rate master in the world.

But Deng Wenzhu would never believe that he alone could cause trouble in the palace.

Huang Chao understood Deng Wenzhu's thoughts and said disapprovingly: "I know, so I don't count on him. He just needs to hide himself in the palace."

At this point, the corners of Huang Chao's lips rose unconsciously, and he could already vaguely see the big show that was about to take place.

However, just when Huang Chao was thinking about when and where to kill Xiao Ran next, there was a knock on the door, which startled Deng Wenzhu and Huang Chao, and their brows suddenly became alert.

Huang Chao motioned to Deng Wenzhu to open the door.

"who!"

"me."

Deng Wenzhu was startled by the sound coming from outside the door. He opened the door and looked inside. His face darkened immediately and he cursed, "Why are you back? Are you looking for death?"

The person in front of him was Shen Xuanjun, who had just been let go by them.

But now this guy is back again.

However, Shen Xuanjun, who had been submissive to Deng Wenzhu before, was not afraid of the curse at this moment. Instead, he smiled contemptuously, walked past Deng Wenzhu and sat down next to Huang Chao.

"you!"

Deng Wenzhu was about to get angry when he saw this, but Huang Chao waved his hand.

Then Huang Chao looked up and down at Shen Xuanjun in front of him: "Since you are here, then Shen Xuanjun, the waste, should be dead now."

"Oh, not yet, but it's almost there. I came here in a hurry and didn't have any gifts, so I can only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and return this thing to you."

Having said this, he threw a yellow sign on the table.

I don’t know what material this sign is made of. It’s neither gold nor wood, neither iron nor jade. It’s apricot yellow all over, and it exudes an indescribable scent.

"Locust order!"

Deng Wenzhu on the side couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

This thing is a treasure bestowed by the Locust God. It is a treasure used to summon the Locust God to descend. How could it be in this person's hands? ?
He is not Shen Xuanjun, so who is he?

Huang Chao looked at the order on the table, then carefully looked at Shen Xuanjun in front of him, and said, "Actually, we have met before, so let's face it."

"Yes, you were unconscious at that time. I have dealt with the Locust God once before, so we are familiar with each other."

"It's really you!"

Huang Chao had a look of sudden enlightenment. On that day in Wancheng, he was ambushed by Xiao and seriously injured by the tentacle monster. At the critical moment, the Locust God appeared. Although he was seriously injured, he did not faint completely and still retained consciousness.

I remember that there was a man who fell from the sky and was able to compete with the Locust God.

This person's strength was unfathomable. Huang Chao kept this person in mind at the time and never told anyone about it, not even the high priest.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not dare to attack Wancheng again.

Huang Chao was surprised to find that person right in front of him.

"Your Excellency is very clever. You were able to find something I hid so deep."

Huang Chao said this and gestured to Deng Wenzhu to serve tea.

He hid this thing on Shen Xuanjun, and Shen Xuanjun himself didn't even know it. According to Huang Chao's original plan, as long as Shen Xuanjun followed the crowd into the palace, he would just need to find a place to hide.

When the time comes, he will activate the locust order, use his flesh and blood as a sacrifice, and forcibly summon the locust god to come. However, he didn't expect that Shen Xuanjun couldn't even be a waste, and he was controlled by someone as soon as he went out.

"It's okay. I'm a cook, and I'm used to checking every inch of the ingredients carefully."

As he spoke, the man tore off the skin on his face, revealing Wu Man's true face. With a lazy smile on his face, he said to Huang Chao:

"I'm here to help you. We have a business deal to discuss..."

……

Huang Chao stared at Xiao Ran, his eyes gradually becoming colder. "So you don't have to think that the Zou family will come to help you. The palace is in chaos. Do you really think those masters in the capital can still sit still?"

As if to verify what Huang Chao said, Xiao Ran saw from afar some shadows taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Daming Palace.

Without the suppression of the talisman, the imperial guards alone would not be able to stop these top masters.

The palace is in chaos and the emperor is in danger.

This also means that the Zou family can no longer take care of themselves. According to the words of the Zou family’s ancestor, the ultimate goal of the Zou family is to sacrifice to the emperor and devour the dragon energy.

If the dragon energy is taken away, the Zou family’s century of dormancy will be destroyed.

In comparison, the death of a grandson is a trivial matter.

That meant that he might be isolated and helpless and have to face the yellow tide alone. In the end, this well-planned situation turned out to be a trap for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran showed a bitter smile on his face: "So that's how it is, then..."

He raised his head and looked at Huang Chao:
"Brother Huang, is it too late for me to admit defeat now?"

Facing Xiao Ran's cowardly expression, Huang Chao nodded without any surprise and said, "Of course it's not too late, but where in the world can you find medicine to make you regret?"

After saying this, Huang Chao's eyes flashed with coldness, and the long sword at his waist made a buzzing sound as it was unsheathed.
The sword emitted a faint glow, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, piercing towards Xiao Ran.

This was not the first time they had dealt with each other. Huang Chao was well aware of Xiao Ran's strength, but he was even more afraid of this kid's endless tricks, so his attack was like thunder and lightning, without reservation.

Facing the sword light that was coming to attack him, Xiao Ran's pupils shrank slightly. He was also well prepared. The moment he heard the sword sound, [Guillotine·Corpse Catcher] had already been activated.

At the same time, a bronze dagger flew out.

[Head-slaying Sword·Lucky Man]

LV5 Spiritual Explosion Technique: [Spiritual Flame Thunder].

Single consumption: 20000 points of spiritual energy.

"fry!!"

As Xiao Ran's thought flashed through his mind, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the bronze sword, and then a ball of lightning and fire suddenly exploded with the sword as the center.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

A huge roar resounded through the sky, attracting many people to look over here.

"Brother, there seems to be a big commotion over there?"

A group of men in black hid outside the palace gate. Looking at the huge fire exploding in the distance, they couldn't help but stick their heads out curiously.

"Never mind, killing the emperor is the most important thing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if we can take away a little bit of the dragon energy, we will still make a fortune this time!"

To some extent, the fact that the emperor was practicing the Blood Transformation Sutra had long been no secret. Some people had originally planned to wait until the second day of the Sword Review, and then join forces to kill the emperor and break out of the Daming Palace.

But unexpectedly, someone couldn't hold back and took action ahead of time.

As he was speaking, a man in white came flying over, holding a golden and silver sword, and leaped onto the palace tower. He swung the sword, and two sword beams burst out, killing several archers on the palace tower on the spot.

"It's Gu Xin Tang! Damn it, I knew that Qian Kun League, as the largest gang in the martial arts world, would miss this opportunity to turn 49 into 95!"

Three people are called a group, six people are called a hang, thirty-nine people are called a hall, and forty-nine people are called a meeting.

When a gang reaches the level of Qiankun Alliance, one more step will give it a chance to turn things around.

This situation is not without precedent. The most well-known one is Wagang before the founding of this dynasty.

"Om..."

At this time, the palace gate was opened from the inside, which made those who were still watching outside the palace become restless.

Now that the palace has its doors open, it is like a beautiful woman taking off her pants and spreading her legs. Who can resist it?

Even if they could just snatch a few things from it, it would be enough for them to squander for the rest of their lives.

"kill!!"

Someone shouted loudly, then rushed into the palace with sword drawn.

The sounds of hacking and killing continued.

At the same time, Xiao Ran was fleeing in a panic.

It's not that he is a coward, but he is simply unable to fight.

Huang Chao was seen holding the locust list in his hand, his whole body bathed in dimness. Within his range, knives, swords, witchcraft spells, and even the corpse slaves under his command were all suppressed.

Huang Chao was obviously determined to kill Xiao Ran this time.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was getting faster and faster, Huang Chao snorted coldly, then raised the sword in his hand. The sword made a clanging sound, and then an apricot-yellow divine light covered the void.

An aura that Xiao Ran was familiar with and disgusted with filled the air.

Xiao Ran's heart trembled, and he turned around suddenly, only to see that the figure of the Locust God had already shrouded the void, with a pair of eyes staring at him, and his big hands opened with a vast divine light like a sky curtain. The space around Xiao Ran seemed to be paused, and his body was trapped there.

"Fuck, are you really that serious?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but complain in his heart. Huang Chao even summoned the Locust God in order to kill him.

At the moment when Xiao Ran's body was imprisoned, Huang Chao's figure, blessed by the golden light, was like an ancient god. Huang Chao, no longer having any scruples, completely released his strength. The sword in his hand flashed with a dazzling cold light, and with an incredible speed, he slashed through the void and cut Xiao Ran's throat...
