Transmigrating to the Primordial Era as a Peerless Great Witch, Changing Fate in the Primordial Worl

However, looking at the projected image of Wei Xiaobao's calm, almost cold face, and listening to his emotionless tone,

A chill ran through everyone's hearts. This man was not just bluffing; he was truly capable of such a thing.

"you."

Supported by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stood on the steps behind the Imperial Guards.

His aged but still sharp eyes were fixed on Wei Xiaobao, flashing a terrifying cold light and fury.

She ruled the harem and influenced the court for decades, weathering many storms.

I have never seen such an arrogant and domineering madman who disregards imperial power.

Songgotu and other important officials also arrived, and were all shocked to see what was happening.

Suo'etu mustered his courage, stepped forward from the crowd, pointed at Wei Xiaobao, his voice trembling with anger and fear:

"Wei Xiaobao, how dare you be so rebellious!"

It's all a waste that the Emperor trusted you so much in the past, regarding you as his confidant, his right arm, and his brother.

You should quickly pull back from the brink and release the Emperor. Perhaps you can plead with the Empress Dowager and your ancestors to spare his life.

Otherwise, with heavenly soldiers here, you will be pulverized to pieces in an instant, and your entire family will be exterminated.

The other civil and military officials also recovered from their shock. Some sternly accused them, some cursed the traitors, and some tried to persuade them to surrender. The scene was chaotic for a while.

But no matter how much they shouted, their eyes were filled with undisguised fear when they looked at Wei Xiaobao.

Among the officials, many had dealt with Wei Xiaobao, and some even had good relationships with him.

In their past impressions, this "Chief Eunuch Wei" was nothing more than a "favored minister" who relied on the emperor's favor, was somewhat clever, capable, and also greedy and lustful.

Who would have thought that this seemingly cynical and even somewhat "snobbish" young man would launch such a shocking attack?

Not only did they brazenly kill the commander of the imperial guards and a skilled martial artist in the imperial study, but they also directly held a knife to the emperor's neck.

They held the emperor hostage and confronted the entire court and 20,000 imperial guards.

This revolutionary realization left everyone feeling a sense of unreal dizziness and a deep-seated fear.

At this tense and critical moment,

A shrill female voice, trembling with sobs, suddenly rang out from the crowd:

"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, save me! These lackeys are holding me! Make them let me go!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Princess Jianning had been dragged into the arena by several strong imperial guards.

Her hair was disheveled, and her gorgeous cheongsam was covered in dust. She was struggling desperately, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, anxiously looking in Wei Xiaobao's direction.

"You brat, shut up and behave yourself."

A soldier standing beside her, seemingly impatient with the spoiled princess's cries, or perhaps eager to impress the Empress Dowager and his superiors,

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the others did not immediately stop him, he simply raised his large, fan-like hand.

With two sharp "slaps," the sword struck Princess Jianning's fair and delicate face.

The crisp sound of a slap was unusually jarring in the quiet square.

Princess Jianning was stunned by the blow, and two clear, swollen handprints instantly appeared on her fair cheeks.

In all her years, apart from the projection of Wei Xiaobao who once "taught" her a lesson, who in this palace would dare to lay a finger on her?

Being slapped in the face by a boorish soldier in front of everyone at that moment, the immense humiliation, pain, and injustice overwhelmed her, causing her to burst into tears.

She cried her heart out, sobbing and yelling at Wei Xiaobao:

"Xiao Bao, they bullied me, you dog servants, they dared to hit me! Waaaaah!"

"Let her go."

A voice, so cold it seemed to freeze the air, suddenly rang out, drowning out all the noise and crying.

The projection of Wei Xiaobao's gaze, like two icicles, instantly locked onto the soldier who had attacked him, his eyes revealing a terrifying and fierce killing intent.

The soldier felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave when he was stared at, his hands and feet turned cold, and he subconsciously let go of Jianning's hand and retreated repeatedly.

"Young man, you have great courage, but you are also arrogant."

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's aged yet still dignified voice rang out. She looked calmly at Wei Xiaobao and slowly spoke.

"But this is the Forbidden City, the domain of the Qing Dynasty."

Release the Emperor, and I can make the decision to release Jianning immediately.

This is your last chance.

However, the projected Wei Xiaobao seemed not to hear Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's words at all. His gaze remained fixed on the soldier and the others holding Jianning, and his voice was even colder as he repeated:

"I said, let her go, right now."

"Send Wei Xiaobao! Didn't you hear what the Empress Dowager said? Only release the Emperor will we release her."

Another officer, who seemed to be the leader, mustered his courage and shouted, trying to take the initiative.

"You won't let go?"

The projected image of Wei Xiaobao revealed a chillingly cold smile, his killing intent instantly surging.

"Then die."

The moment the last "ba" was uttered, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

It's not about lightness skill; it's more like a kind of instantaneous movement.

The unparalleled lightness skill of "Treading Snow Without a Trace," combined with his terrifying explosive power achieved through innate fourth-level cultivation and the integration of internal and external strength,

This made his speed reach an unbelievable level.

Like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, or a thunderclap slicing through the heavens.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and a blurry afterimage had already swept dozens of steps away.

"Oh no, fire the arrows quickly!"

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was experienced and quick-witted. She immediately realized what Wei Xiaobao was about to do and cried out in alarm.

However, it was too late.

Just as she exclaimed in surprise, some of the Imperial Guard archers who had been waiting in the air around the square subconsciously released their bowstrings.

Whoosh whoosh.

Dozens, even hundreds, of sharp arrows, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound,

Like locusts, they swarmed towards the rushing figure, also engulfing the area where Princess Jianning had just been freed.

"Be careful, Xiao Bao."

Jianning was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried out.

Faced with this dense rain of arrows, the projected Wei Xiaobao did not even turn around or slow down.

The fifth level of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill's powerful blood and qi, along with the tough skin and bones, began to circulate rapidly, and a faint, almost invisible, bronze luster appeared on the body's surface.

Those powerful arrows, strong enough to pierce ordinary armor, struck his back, shoulders, and arms.

However, it only made a "clanging" sound, like striking a thick iron plate, and most of them were bounced off directly.

A few arrows with exceptional force barely pierced his outermost garment; the arrowheads were stopped by an incredibly resilient force as soon as they touched his skin.

It didn't even manage to scratch the skin before it slid helplessly to the ground.

In the brief interval between the tickling arrow rain, the projected image of Wei Xiaobao had already rushed to Princess Jianning's side like a ghost in an instant.

With his left arm, he pulled Jianning's delicate body, which was limp from fright, into his embrace, feeling her familiar warmth and faint fragrance.

At the same time, without pausing, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew backward with Jianning at an even faster speed than before.

Like a swallow skimming the water, she returned lightly and swiftly to the protective circle formed by Zhao Yun and his guards.

The entire process was swift and decisive, from the sudden attack, charging into battle, enduring a hail of arrows, rescuing people, and returning, all within just two or three breaths.

It happened so fast that most people didn't even have time to process it.

Wow, Xiao Bao, you're amazing!
