After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

The King of Wei's face turned pale and then flushed.

As a prince, being threatened with a knife to his neck by a eunuch and forced to back away would surely cause him to lose face if word got out.

That damned eunuch deserves to die!

"presumptuous!"

A loud shout erupted from behind the King of Wei.

At the same time, a dark figure flashed out like lightning, a blade flashing.

"clang!"

The long sword in Li Fan's hand was violently knocked away by a short sword, spun a few times in the air, and fell to the ground with a "clang".

next moment.

A burly middle-aged man stood in front of King Wei.

His face was full of scars, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce light; he was none other than Wu San, the personal bodyguard of the King of Wei.

He held the dagger horizontally in front of him, stared coldly at Li Fan, and sneered:

"Who do you think you are? A spineless eunuch, daring to lay a hand on a prince?"

"Kneel down! Apologize to the Prince!"

"Otherwise, I'll slice you to pieces today!"

The voice was very loud and extremely arrogant.

The King of Wei touched his neck, his face ashen, and remained silent.

He had almost been scared out of his wits by a little eunuch, but he couldn't show his fear in front of so many people.

But what followed was an uncontrollable rage.

"Wu San, seize this damned eunuch!"

But then they saw Li Fan take the token from his waist and raise it high:

"This man is a guard of the King of Wei, but he threatened the imperial envoy with a knife and obstructed the investigation. According to the law, he should be executed."

"Men, seize him!"

The Imperial Guard soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

On one side was the King of Wei, and on the other was the Emperor's token; he was momentarily hesitant.

Seeing this, Wu San became even more arrogant and kicked aside a soldier of the Imperial Guard in front of him:

"Who dares to touch me? I'm a man of the King of Wei!"

"How many of you Imperial Guards have enough heads to chop off?"

He stood there with his sword drawn, his arrogance reaching its peak.

A sixth-rank martial artist certainly had the right to be arrogant in front of this group of Imperial Guards.

Li Fan didn't waste any words with him.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Miaozhen behind him.

"Miss Zhang, please make your move."

Zhang Miaozhen took a deep breath.

She knew that by making this move, she had completely placed herself on the opposite side of the King of Wei.

But she did not hesitate at all.

The longsword was drawn.

"Whoosh!"

A sword flashed like a bolt of lightning, piercing straight at the opponent's face.

Wu San sneered, parried with his knife, and didn't take the woman seriously at all.

"clang!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew.

Wu San's arm jerked.

His expression changed drastically. How could this woman be so strong?

Zhang Miaozhen remained expressionless, her swordplay flowing like mercury, each strike faster than the last.

Three tricks.

It only took three moves.

"puff!"

The sword tip pierced Wu San's wrist, and the short knife flew out of his hand.

"what!"

Wu San let out a miserable scream.

Before he could retreat, Zhang Miaozhen kicked him in the knee.

"Snap!"

Fragmented kneecap.

Wu San immediately knelt down on one knee.

A long sword was placed against his neck.

From the moment the attack was made to the moment the enemy was subdued, it took only two breaths.

A peak fourth-rank cultivator crushes a sixth-rank cultivator.

However, even when Wu San was pinned to the ground, his face remained contorted with rage, and he continued to shout:

"Let me go! I'm a man of the King of Wei!"

"You wretched woman, you dare touch me! King Wei won't let you get away with this!"

"King Wei, save me!"

The King of Wei's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth as he said:

"Let him go."

Li Fan didn't look at him.

He walked up to Wu San, squatted down, and looked at the face that was distorted by anger.

"You just said you wanted us to kneel down?"

Wu San spat.

"Kneel before your mother! You damned eunuch! If you have the guts, kill me!"

"I'll be back in eighteen years..."

Li Fan stood up.

He picked up the long sword that had been knocked away from the ground.

He slashed down with the knife.

"Pfft!"

Wu San's head flew off.

It spun twice in the air, bringing with it a spray of blood, and rolled "glug glug" to the feet of King Wei.

The expression on his face was frozen in the moment of his shouting; his eyes were wide open, his mouth agape, and his face was full of disbelief.

Large amounts of blood gushed from his neck, splattering all over Li Fan.

The entire venue fell into dead silence!

Without a word, Eunuch Gao actually killed the King of Wei's guards.

This is simply unbelievable!

King Wei looked down at the head at his feet, his pupils dilated violently, and he was horrified, with a hint of fear rising in his heart.

This little eunuch is a madman, how dare he kill his own people?

"Wu, Wu San..."

Cao Mo's mouth formed an "O" shape, and he froze on the spot, as if someone had acupunctured him.

He was a civil official and had seen blood, but he had never seen a eunuch behead a prince's personal bodyguard in front of him.

This matter has probably blown up completely today!

Zhang Miaozhen tightened her grip on the sword slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Grandpa Gao, you're incredibly bold!

"hiss!"

Princess Anle covered her mouth.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief.

She watched as Li Fan stood in the sunlight, covered in blood, with a headless corpse still convulsing at his feet and a long, dripping knife in his hand.

"That lackey..."

My heart skipped a few beats for no reason.

She couldn't explain what that feeling was like.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Princess Anle shook her head violently, inwardly cursing herself:

"What's so interesting about a lackey like him!"

But her gaze couldn't help but fall on the young eunuch covered in blood.

Li Fan casually tossed the long sword to the ground, turned around, and looked at King Wei.

"Your Highness, I have said that anyone who dares to obstruct the investigation will be killed without mercy."

"Now, Your Highness, will you still try to stop us?"

The King of Wei turned pale.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something harsh.

But he clearly realized that this little eunuch was really crazy and might hurt him!

Li Fan waited three seconds, and seeing that the King of Wei did not speak, he turned to the Imperial Guards and gave the order:

"Cao Mo and his relatives were all imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed on the spot."

This time, no one hesitated.

A large number of Imperial Guard soldiers rushed forward and captured Cao Mo.

Cao Mo's legs were shaking, and his lips were trembling.

He wanted to utter some harsh words, but when he saw the head on the ground, all the words stuck in his throat.

Never mind, there will be officials to plead for me at tomorrow's court assembly!

King Wei knew that he would be very embarrassed if word got out that he had failed to protect Cao Mo today.

That once proud face was now contorted in shock, as if he had been slapped in public and hadn't recovered yet.

"You dog slave, I will remember what happened today."

"Remember how you treated me today; I will repay you a hundredfold in the future."

The Imperial Guard soldiers around them kept their heads down, not daring to breathe.

Everyone could tell that the King of Wei wasn't just making threats; he was declaring war.

Li Fan looked at the King of Wei, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Guards, seize the Prince of Wei and imprison him in the Ministry of Justice's prison."

The reason he dared to do this was that while the Chu Emperor might be outwardly displeased, he would certainly be secretly pleased.

It's very simple: the King of Wei was younger than the Emperor of Chu.

If the Prince of Wei becomes the Crown Prince, he could potentially threaten the throne.

No emperor could allow this to happen!

Suppressing the King of Wei is politically correct!
