With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Emperor Mingde's eyes regained their clarity at that moment.

Seeing the scene before him, he flew into a rage, pointing his finger at the Empress Dowager, "You wicked woman, you'll die a horrible death!"

"A poisonous woman?" The Empress Dowager's gaze was icy. "If you tell me that only one will die, then both of them will die."

"Father, please save your son!" The sixth prince pleaded with Emperor Mingde, his eyes filled with panic.

Emperor Mingde looked at his two sons and closed his eyes in anguish.

"You vicious old woman!" the Fifth Prince suddenly yelled at the Empress Dowager.

"You're the one who caused Father's illness, tried to use the Emperor to command the other lords, and attempted to seize my Nangong family's empire. You deserve to die! You will be cursed by the world and your name will be infamous for eternity!"

"Very well, just like your father, you have guts." The Empress Dowager's eyes surged with murderous intent. "Guards, execute the Fifth Prince by slow slicing."

"You wicked woman, how dare you?" Emperor Mingde rushed forward and stood in front of the Fifth Prince. "If you want to touch him, you'll have to kill me first."

"Kill you? Hahaha..." The Empress Dowager threw her head back and laughed loudly, then after a long while said:

"You are my good son. How could I bear to let you die? I have to show you first that your children will die in front of you one by one."

"You old madwoman, I, the prince, am not afraid of death. I curse you to die a horrible death and be cast into the eighteenth level of hell after you die..." the fifth prince cursed angrily.

The Empress Dowager's old face contorted in pain. "Guards, execute me!"

"Empress Dowager, you are indeed very capable! You are very suitable to be an empress. We will assist you and see who in the Western Yan Kingdom dares to say no? Hahaha..." A group of men in black robes laughed loudly.

Several men in black stepped forward, ready to seize the Fifth Prince and execute him.

"Bang bang bang..." A loud noise suddenly came from outside the main hall.

Upon hearing this voice, the ministers knew that Nangong Wu had arrived, and they were all invigorated.

They all knew that what she possessed was powerful and would surely be able to rescue His Majesty.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed, and she turned and walked up the steps. "Bring the Emperor and Huo Jing up to me."

However, the men in black remained standing still.

"Empress Dowager, judging from your frightened appearance, could it be that Nangong Wu has arrived?" a man in black robes asked.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."

The gunfire outside grew increasingly intense, followed by screams and piercing cries of agony.

"It's that little bitch Nangong Wu." The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth with hatred when she mentioned Nangong Wu's name.

"This woman isn't particularly skilled, but she's cunning and treacherous. She possesses otherworldly demonic artifacts. The Imperial Advisor died at her hands. I advise you all to be careful..."

"boom--"

A deafening explosion interrupted the Empress Dowager's words, and the entire hall shook violently.

"Quickly! Close the doors of the main hall..." Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, another violent tremor shook her, and she collapsed onto the dragon throne.

At this moment, the arrogance on the faces of the men in black robes finally disappeared. They lifted Emperor Mingde and Huo Jing up and placed them on either side of the Empress Dowager.

The other men in black also subdued several princes and moved them aside.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", a dark shadow flew in, crashing heavily into the middle of the hall, rolling several times, and finally stopping at the foot of the imperial steps.

The man in black robes looked up and saw that it was one of his own men, whose brains had been smashed open, and his expression changed.

The people there are naturally incredibly strong, while the people of the Western Yan Kingdom are like weaklings, unable to defeat them at all.

"who……"

"Bang bang bang!!" The response was a burst of bullets, and several men in black were hit and fell down.

"Nangong Wu, you little slut, if you want Huo Jing to live, then stop right now!" the Empress Dowager shouted angrily.

Two figures appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan each held a gun as they slowly walked into the main hall.

"My lords, all those black pigs outside have been slaughtered by us. If you want to live, get out now."

Let these ministers go out, so as not to hinder them.

Upon hearing that the men in black robes outside were dead, both civil and military officials immediately rushed out of the main hall.

Several gray-haired military officers walked up to them.

"Your Highness, this old minister is willing to stay and fight these people to the death."

"Get out! Staying here won't help me and will only hold us back." Nangong Wu didn't want to discourage them, but if she didn't say it, they would hesitate to leave, so she didn't want to waste her breath.

The military officers indeed looked ashamed and left the hall.

Soon, only the Prime Minister, the four princes, Emperor Mingde, and Huo Jing remained in the main hall.

"Daughter, you're here!" Huo Jing felt as if time had turned back to the first time he met his wife when he saw his daughter, who was so dashing and spirited.

His daughter is looking more and more like his wife.

"Father, are you alright?" Nangong Wu saw her father and Emperor Mingde being held hostage by men in black. They looked somewhat disheveled, but they were unharmed.

"I'm fine, these people wouldn't dare do anything to me," Huo Jing said, feigning nonchalance.

"Old hag, we've killed everyone outside. Surrender now!" Nangong Wu's voice was icy.

"Surrender? Hahaha..." The Empress Dowager seemed to have heard a big joke, her face contorted with a ferocious grin.

"Very well! You all want me dead, is that it? Then send your father and the emperor to be buried with me!"

Emperor Mingde shouted at them, "Runing, don't worry about me! Kill these people, and this old vile woman too! Even if I die today, I will drag this old vile woman down to hell..."

"You're asking for death!" A man in black robes was furious. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed the man's arm, causing blood to gush out.

"Father!"

"His Majesty……"

A gasp rippled through the main hall.

Emperor Mingde groaned, enduring the pain as he shouted again, "Runing, don't stop! You must kill them! Otherwise, if the Western Yan Kingdom falls into their hands, I will be the greatest sinner, and I will have no face to face my ancestors even after death..."

"Don't worry, none of them will escape!" Nangong Wu picked up her sniper rifle, aimed at one of the black-robed men holding the Fifth Prince hostage, and pulled the trigger.

Seeing that things were going badly, the man in black robes did a backflip to avoid the shot.

"Bang bang bang..." Nangong Wu fired several shots before finally killing the man in black robes, who then fell motionless.

The Fifth Prince was quick-witted; seeing that he was out of danger, he ran towards Nangong Wu.

Another man in black robes leaped after him, his long sword about to pierce his back.

"Fifth Prince!"

"Fifth brother..."

Several voices exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"boom--"

The man in the black robe was shot in the mouth and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

The Fifth Prince finally escaped danger and ran to Nangong Wu's side, still shaken.

"Sister Runing, thank you."

If it weren't for her, he would have really died this time.

"It's alright now." Nangong Wu nodded to him.

The Empress Dowager was furious. "Nangong Wu, you vile woman, if you don't stop, I'll have Huo Jing killed..."
