Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 243: The Remnants of the Dark Night Cult

It seemed that Ye Di had expected Chu Shizhao's attitude.

He chuckled first, then shook his head slightly and sighed.

"It's a pity that you are still too young."

"Whether you are tender or not, you won't know until you fight."

Chu Shizhao spoke calmly.

Ye Di's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised at Chu Shizhao's calmness.

"Really?"

Chu Shizhao asked back, looking at the other person, but his smile deepened.

"Your Highness, be careful. This man's martial arts skills are unfathomable!"

Li Batian had heard that Ye Di was no ordinary person. Now that he met him for the first time, he could feel the powerful aura from him.

He dare not take it lightly.

After all, he had to ensure Chu Shizhao's safety.

However, Chu Shizhao certainly knew how powerful Ye Di was, and he would not underestimate him even without Li Batian telling him.

"Chu Shizhao, do you think you set up this situation?"

The Night Emperor opposite him looked at Chu Shizhao with a playful expression.

"You will soon know whether it is my plan or not."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Chu Shizhao naturally had no intention of giving him a good face at this moment.

"Interesting, interesting!"

"Just right, today let me see how powerful you, the fourth prince, are."

Chu Shizhao snorted coldly, "You will regret showing up here."

Ye Di said no more, and his hands under his cloak moved slightly.

"Your Highness, step back!"

Li Batian shouted loudly and took a step forward with his guards.

Just one action made Li Batian so nervous.

Seeing the other party's subconscious behavior, Ye Di couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He didn't take Li Batian's actions seriously at all.

Chu Shizhao said disdainfully, "It is still unknown who will win!"

"Then give it a try!"

As soon as Ye Di finished speaking, his figure turned into a residual shadow the next moment.

Chu Shizhao's pupils shrank slightly, but he still stood there, motionless.

Ye Di's figure flashed, and the guards around him didn't even have time to react.

"Your Highness!"

Li Batian subconsciously swung his sword, but only hit a shadow.

"Your Highness, this guy is too fast. I..."

Li Batian was a little annoyed.

Chu Shizhao looked at the shadow coldly, "Don't worry, he can't escape."

Ye Di's voice came from all directions, "Chu Shizhao, is this all you have?"

Chu Shizhao remained unmoved by Ye Di's provocation.

"Ye Di, have you had enough of your acting?"

Chu Shizhao sneered.

Ye Di's figure finally paused for a moment, as if he was angered by Chu Shizhao's words.

"Then let me show you my true power!"

Ye Di let out a low roar, and his momentum suddenly rose.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Almost at the moment when Ye Di disappeared.

Suddenly, a few fireworks rose in the sky above.

Chu Shizhao only took a glance and understood instantly.

This firework is the signal from the Night Emperor to notify the followers of the Dark Night Cult to take action.

Sure enough, with the appearance of fireworks.

Soon, a large number of men in black, wearing the uniforms of the Dark Night Cult, appeared around the execution ground.

Seeing these guys show up.

Li Batian first roared angrily, then rushed forward first.

It has to be said that in this situation, the advantage of Li Batian's supernatural power was reflected.

Li Batian was extremely brave, but the men in black had the advantage in numbers.

Chu Shizhao stood on the high platform, staring at Ye Di with his eyes fixed.

Ye Di did not actually leave, but took advantage of the cover of the crowd and went around to an abandoned stable behind the execution ground.

Chu Shizhao sneered.

"Li Batian, take your men to guard the execution ground and don't let these bastards get even a step closer!"

Li Batian was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Don't worry, Your Highness, none of these bastards will be able to get through!"

……

At the same time, in the stable behind the execution ground.

As soon as Chu Shizhao took a step forward, he felt a chill coming from behind.

He suddenly turned sideways and a scimitar grazed his shoulder.

The next moment, Ye Di rushed out.

Emperor Ye sneered, "Your Highness, you are even more impatient than I thought. You are so eager to die. You don't look like someone who was taught by Emperor Yongjin."

Chu Shizhao snorted coldly, unsheathed the sword in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Ye Di's throat.

"How dare you, a coward who hides his head and shows his tail, mention my father?"

After a disagreement, the two of them started fighting.

Even though Ye Di's swordsmanship is strange and tricky, Chu Shizhao's fighting on the battlefield over the years was not in vain.

The moment their swords collided, he suddenly stabbed Ye Di's left shoulder with his sword, forcing the other party to take a step back.

Chu Shizhao sneered, "It seems that you are just like this."

He took advantage of the situation and stabbed the opponent in the chest with the sword in his hand.

In an instant, the Night Emperor turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared.

At this moment, Chu Shizhao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Before he could react.

The next moment, a ray of cold light struck down from above his head.

Without any hesitation, Chu Shizhao subconsciously raised his sword to block.

"clang!"

The long sword in Chu Shizhao's hand almost slipped out of his hand.

Seeing that he had the advantage with one move, Ye Di revealed himself.

Without giving Chu Shizhao any chance to react.

He exerted force suddenly and pressed down the scimitar in his hand.

At this moment, the blade above Chu Shizhao's head was only half an inch away from his forehead.

"Boy, your eyes are quite good, but it's a pity that you lack experience in the martial arts world!"

"I didn't practice this ninjutsu for nothing!"

Yedi grinned.

"Do you really think I would come to rescue someone without any preparation?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds outside the stable.

Oh no, could it be that this guy’s reinforcements have arrived?

Chu Shizhao gritted his teeth, kicked Ye Di in the abdomen, and used the force to step back several steps.

Ye Di groaned after being kicked, but did not pursue. Instead, he quickly retreated to the depths of the stable.

"Chu Shizhao, we'll meet again later."

"Next time there's a chance, I'll play with you again!"

……

Just as Chu Shizhao was about to chase after him, he heard a dense rain of arrows outside the stable. Dozens of sharp arrows broke through the air and hit him directly.

He had no choice but to roll over and hide behind a wooden pillar.

The arrow hit the wood, making a dull "dong dong" sound.

When he looked again, Ye Di had disappeared.

"Damn it!"

Chu Shizhao punched the wooden pillar.

This time, Ye Di not only rescued Lord Wang, but also tricked him severely.

Meanwhile, the battle on the execution ground continued.

Li Batian pierced a man in black's chest with a spear.

Blood sprayed all over his face, "Brothers, hold on!"

"Your Highness hasn't come back yet. If anyone dares to retreat, I'll be the first to chop him off!"

The guards gritted their teeth and fought back.

But the enemy's numbers were too great and they were unable to resist.

At this time, a purple smoke rose.

Chu Shizhao's heart sank suddenly.

I instantly recognized that it was the signal for the Dark Night Cult to take action!
It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized it.

The Night Emperor of the Dark Night Cult suddenly showed up. Perhaps his purpose from the beginning was not to save people, but to take this opportunity to launch a fatal blow to him.

Outside the stable, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. A group of masked cavalrymen, holding scimitars, rushed towards the execution ground with murderous intent. The leader lifted his mask, revealing a face that was 70% similar to Chu Shizhao.

It was the uncle Chu Zhaonan who had “died in battle” many years ago!
He swung the scimitar in his hand violently.

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

……

At the same moment when Chu Zhaonan's cavalry was about to rush into the execution ground.

Chu Shizhao didn't even have time to catch his breath.

A cold arrow shot straight into his back from the side.

The speed of this arrow was so astonishingly fast that Chu Shizhao was unable to react.

Just as he was about to be shot, Li Batian stood behind Chu Shizhao.

The sharp arrow pierced his left shoulder.

"Your Highness, I am fine..."

"Li Batian!"

Chu Shizhao rushed forward and held him.

"Your Highness, I can still fight!"

Li Batian struggled to stand up, but was held down by Chu Shizhao.

"Don't be so stubborn, you're seriously injured, let me take care of the rest!"

Chu Shizhao glanced at Chu Zhaonan and others who were rushing towards him.

"Your Highness, be careful..."

Li Batian on the side originally wanted to fight for it again.

However, this time, Chu Shizhao did not give the other party this opportunity.

Chu Shizhao handed Li Batian to the guards, then slowly stood up and pointed the sword in his hand at Chu Zhaonan.

"Uncle, do you think you can kill me with this mob?"

Chu Zhaonan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Hahaha, my good nephew, you are too naive."

"Today, this execution ground will be your burial place!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and the cavalry behind him rushed out.

The next moment, he appeared in the middle of the fighting between the two teams.

As the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light.

Soon, seven or eight black-clad men from the Dark Night Cult fell around Chu Shizhao.

In the end, Chu Shizhao was no match for four hands with two fists.

Soon, he had more wounds on his body and his movements began to become slow.

"Nephew, you are still too young after all."

Chu Zhaonan approached with a sneer, aiming the scimitar in his hand straight for Chu Shizhao's throat.

It seemed that Chu Shizhao was about to die on the spot.

At this moment, a figure helped him block the fatal blow at this critical moment.

"when!"

There was a crisp sound of metal collision.

Chu Shizhao looked carefully and found that the person coming was Qingluan!
At this moment, she was wearing a nightgown and holding a dagger in her hand.

Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Qingluan? You..."

Chu Shizhao was shocked.

Qingluan smiled sadly.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry... I lied to you..."

"why?"

Chu Shizhao's face was full of disbelief.

Qingluan did not answer and turned to face Chu Zhaonan.

"Chu Zhaonan, you promised me that as long as I help you, you will let my whole family go!"

"Hahaha……"

Chu Zhaonan laughed out loud, "Do you think I will keep my promise? I am just using you."

"you……"

"go to hell!"

Chu Zhaonan swung the scimitar in his hand fiercely. Qingluan was unable to dodge and was hit in the chest, and blood gushed out.

"Qingluan!"

Even though this woman betrayed him.

But Chu Shizhao still couldn't accept watching the other person die in front of him.

However, it was too late to say anything.

Qingluan was already speechless, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I just wanted to protect my family..."

Qingluan's hands dropped down and she was no longer able to breathe.

"Chu Zhaonan, I will kill you!"

"Just you?"

Chu Zhaonan sneered, "Do you think you still have a chance of winning?"

At this moment, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly came from the distance.

"It's the Black Armor Army!"

Li Batian struggled to stand up, pointed at the army in the distance, and shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Chu Shizhao turned his head suddenly and looked through the chaotic battlefield.

In the distance, a group of people came sweeping in like a hurricane, led by Heng Yi who was wearing heavy armor.

She held the spear high in her hand, and the black-armored soldiers behind her were lined up in an iron-like formation.

"Heng Yi arrived at the right time!"

Chu Shizhao gritted his teeth and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

It has to be admitted that Hengyi's command talent on the battlefield is unmatched.

Her voice was as clear as a bell, and with every order given, the Black Armor Army charged forward like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the enemy formation.

"Outflank the left wing, advance on the right wing!"

Heng Yi shouted coldly, and with the neighing of war horses, the formation of the Black Armor Army changed instantly, and it was filled with murderous intent.

The motley crowd brought by Chu Zhaonan had no power to fight back under her precise command. Amid the shouts and cries of killing, the enemy's formation was thrown into chaos and they were scattered all over the place.

"Your Highness, hold on!"

Heng Yi looked at Chu Shizhao from afar with a firm gaze. She waved the spear in her hand and led her troops to crush them. The situation of the battle was completely reversed under her control.

"Your Highness, I'm late!"

Seeing Chu Shizhao covered in blood, Hengyi thought that her husband was injured.

He immediately knelt down and apologized.

Chu Shizhao helped him up.

"It's okay, you came at the right time!"

"Now, it's time for us to settle accounts with my good uncle!"

Chu Shizhao looked at Chu Zhaonan.

Seeing that the situation had reversed, Chu Zhaonan would no longer wait for Chu Shizhao to settle the score with him.

At the moment when Hengyi appeared with his army.

He realized that the situation was hopeless and turned around to escape.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

Looking at Chu Zhaonan who had already run dozens of meters away, Chu Shizhao directly took the spear from Hengyi who was standing beside him.

Thrown towards Chu Zhaonan.

"Pfft!"

With a dull thud, the spear instantly pierced Chu Zhaonan's chest.

Chu Zhaonan widened his eyes and looked at Chu Shizhao in disbelief.

Then he slowly fell to the ground and died.

Chu Shizhao looked at Chu Zhaonan's body, not understanding what he was thinking.

Instead of being a prince, he had to get involved with those rebels of the Dark Night Cult.

Chu Shizhao nodded, then turned and walked towards Li Batian: "How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."

Chu Shizhao patted Li Batian on the shoulder and said, "Pass the order down to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded."

"Also, take all the captives back to the capital and interrogate them strictly."

"I will obey your orders!"

……

Although Chu Zhaonan was killed in this battle, the threat of the Dark Night Cult still exists.

"Your Highness, according to the prisoners, the Dark Night Cult still has many spies in the capital."

Hengyi reported softly.

Chu Shizhao nodded, "Yes, this rebellion is probably just the beginning."

"Hengyi, go back after you settle this place."

"This situation is no longer under our control."

"I must go to the palace now. I must explain the situation here to my father and ask him to make some preparations accordingly."

"As for those guys from the Dark Night Cult, just tell them to wait for me!"

"I will make them pay back their blood debt a hundredfold tomorrow!"
