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

But Nangong Wu remained unmoved.

"Do it!" the Empress Dowager ordered, enraged.

The man in black robes raised his dagger and plunged it into Huo Jing's right arm, causing blood to gush out immediately.

"Hmm..." Huo Jing groaned, clenching his teeth.

At the same time, Nangong Wu also moved, her finger pulling the trigger. "Bang!" The bullet grazed Huo Jing's scalp and hit the person behind him between the eyebrows, splattering a string of blood. His eyes suddenly widened.

Huo Jing's legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily. His arm was also injured. When the person behind him fell, he lost his support and fell down.

The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up from her dragon throne. "You vile woman, how dare you..."

"Bang!" The response she received was a bullet that struck her right arm, in the exact same spot where Huo Jing had been stabbed.

"You old hag, you dare to hurt my father's arm? Then pay with your own arm!"

The mother Gu might be on this old man. Killing her might cause Emperor Mingde to suffer a backlash, but we can injure her.

"Ouch..." The Empress Dowager cried out and collapsed onto the dragon throne, her old face contorted in pain.

"Wuwu, well done..." Huo Jing smiled at his daughter.

"Stop smiling, it looks awful!" Nangong Wu felt a pang of heartache seeing his expression. "Father, it's my fault for being unfilial and causing you suffering."

"Runing, you missed!" Emperor Mingde said with some disappointment.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This old hag has done too many evil deeds. It would be too easy for her to be shot," Nangong Wu comforted him.

She wanted to kill the Empress Dowager more than anyone else.

"All of you, come up here!" Seeing how powerful she was, the black-robed leader ordered his men to the imperial platform.

Fifteen people dragged three hostages onto the stage.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan exchanged a glance and simultaneously pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang!!" Two more shots rang out, taking down two more people.

Now there are only nineteen people left, plus the Empress Dowager, making twenty people in total.

"Nangong Wu, stop right now!" The Empress Dowager had been shot by her, and it was the first time she had ever been injured. Her hatred was still burning, and she wanted to kill Huo Jing to vent her anger. "Guards, kill Huo Jing for me!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan pointed both guns at Huo Jing and fired without hesitation.

"Bang bang..."

The two black-robed men closest to Huo Jing fell down.

"You old hag, if you touch my father again, I'll kill you first!"

Seeing that this wouldn't work, the black-robed leader realized that killing the hostages would be less effective than exchanging them for the weapons in Nangong Wu's possession.

"Empress Dowager, hand over those three people and exchange them for what they have on them."

He figured that as long as Nangong Wu handed over what she had, they could kill the two of them.

"Alright." The Empress Dowager was also afraid of the weapons in their hands.

"Nangong Wu, put all the things in the middle of the main hall."

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan exchanged a glance, then emerged from behind the large pillar and walked to the center of the main hall.

"Release King Li, King Mu, and the Prime Minister."

"Put down what you're holding." The leader pulled Nangong Heng in front of him and walked down the jade steps one by one.

Two other men in black robes followed behind, escorting Nangong Yi and the Prime Minister.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan put down their guns.

The man in the black robe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take five steps back."

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan took two steps back and stopped.

"We have nothing left, release them immediately."

"And you, the sword on your back." The leader pointed at Bei Chenyan.

Knowing he has some real skills, they decided to keep the sword.

Bei Chenyan pulled the sword from his back, threw it on the ground, and spread his hands, "We have nothing left."

Three men in black robes pushed three hostages and stopped five steps away from them.

"Take five steps back."

Nangong Wu and Bei Chenyan took two steps back, their eyes icy. "Release them immediately. Don't make me say it a second time."

They maintained this distance to let these people know that if they didn't release the person, they could take the gun back.

The three men in black robes suddenly shoved the person in their hands forward, then quickly picked up the three guns on the ground.

The prime minister, who was over fifty years old, staggered forward a few steps after being pushed and was about to fall when Bei Chenyan caught him.

"Let's go!" Nangong Wu said.

Nangong Yi and Nangong Heng hurriedly pulled the Prime Minister away and ran outside.

The leader took all three guns, stepped back, and ordered, "Kill them."

The two people beside him immediately rushed forward, trying to capture them, while several people also flew down from the platform, each with a sharp sword aura.

"Runing, hurry!"

"Wuwu, hurry up..."

Emperor Mingde and Huo Jing shouted anxiously.

They have nothing left, so they definitely can't beat these people.

Suddenly, "rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." a piercing machine gun blast rang out, the muzzle spitting fire as a dense barrage of bullets swept out.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh..."

Seven people were riddled with bullets in the blink of an eye, their eyes still filled with disbelief.

The people on the imperial platform were shocked and immediately pulled Emperor Mingde and Huo Jing in front of them to shield them.

The Empress Dowager's smug expression froze. "You little wretch, you actually cheated!"

"Why not?" Nangong Wu sneered. "What's the point of talking about morality when dealing with despicable scum like you?"

These people were far more powerful than her; she managed to kill seven of them by catching them completely off guard.

The man in black robes stared intently at the gun in Nangong Wu's hand, wondering how she had conjured it up.

"Hahaha..." Huo Jing burst into laughter.

"Wuwu, you truly are my daughter, so amazing! You have the same demeanor as your mother back in the day."

"Damn it!" The leader, seeing that there were only ten of them left, was so angry that he put his sword to Huo Jing's neck, and the sharp blade immediately cut a bloody gash.

"Nangong Wu, put down everything you're holding and get out of the hall, or I'll have your father beheaded!"

Nangong Wu watched as the blood on her father's neck flowed down to his collar, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.

"Nangong Wu, let's go outside first and talk," Bei Chenyan advised her.

Nangong Wuwei nodded, put down the machine gun in her hand, and left the main hall with Beichen Yan.

Anyway, the machine gun was out of bullets, so these people wouldn't be able to use it. The sniper rifle still had a few bullets left, but they didn't know how to use it.

outside the hall.

The commander of the Imperial Guards led tens of thousands of Imperial Guards to surround the Zichen Hall.

Several princes and a group of ministers stood at a distance, and upon hearing the commotion in the main hall, they all showed worry on their faces.

If Nangong Wu is defeated, the Western Yan Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager, and they will all die.

Upon seeing Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan emerge, the commander immediately stepped forward, "Your Highness, how are His Majesty and the Prince?"

"They're still in their hands." Nangong Wu glanced at the Imperial Guards who were surrounded like an iron barrel.

"Commander, remove your men! Keep them away."

The people inside are very strong; the Imperial Guards can't stop them at all. If she makes a move later, she might accidentally hurt them.
