Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"My life is over!"

The emperor was horrified and closed his eyes before dying.

Since you can't hide, just face death calmly like an emperor!

Although he didn't understand why Xiao Tianming, the leader of the Shadow Guards, would rebel, he couldn't think too much about it at this moment.

As the sharp sword fell, the emperor could even feel the coolness coming from the blade.

A whistling sound was heard and a sharp sword was approaching.

A ferocious look appeared on Xiao Tianming's face.

After being controlled by the emperor for so many years, today it will finally come to an end.

As long as the emperor is killed, he will be free and no one can control him anymore!

With the determination to win, the sword fell suddenly!

But at this critical moment, the door of the hall was kicked open by someone.

"How dare you to murder my father!"

Chu Ning shouted angrily: "Ran Ming, stop him!"

At this moment, Ran Ming was some distance away from Xiao Tianming, and it was too late for him to stop him, but he did not dare to disobey Chu Ning's order and rushed forward immediately.

Fortunately, at this moment, Chu Ning raised his left hand before Ran Ming moved, and the arrow from his sleeve shot out instantly!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Five broken arrows were shot out, blocking Xiao Tianming's body.

But at this moment, the rebellious shadow guard jumped up and blocked the three sleeve arrows.

The remaining two sleeve arrows rushed behind Xiao Tianming, and Xiao Tianming instinctively turned his hand and knocked them down with a sword.

The emperor who had escaped the disaster opened his eyes and found that it was Chu Ning who rushed in with his troops. He was overjoyed:

"Chun Ning, you finally came to save me!"

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Xiao Tianming aroused his murderous intent!

Chu Ning's arrival was beyond everyone's expectations. If they didn't act quickly, tonight's operation would probably fail.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianming raised his sword and stabbed the emperor without saying a word.

This time, Xiao Tianming made up his mind to kill the emperor at all costs.

But the emperor also had martial arts skills, and when he saw Xiao Tianming coming to attack him again, he immediately stepped back and dodged.

At the same time, Ran Ming had already leaped over, swung the spear in his hand, and went straight towards Xiao Tianming.

"Humph, it's really in the way!"

Xiao Tianming suddenly bent down to avoid him and whistled, "You guys stop this guy, I'll kill this dog emperor first!"

Immediately, a rebellious shadow guard rushed up and tried to stop Ran Ming.

But the imperial guards and white horse cavalry who retreated into the hall did not let them succeed and immediately met them.

Although each of the shadow guards were highly skilled in martial arts, the imperial guards and the white horse cavalry were equally powerful. In addition, their numerical advantage made it impossible for the shadow guards to get close to Ran Ming.

Ran Ming, who was freed from the obstacle, laughed wildly and said, "I have long disliked you, a cunning guy, and I have sent people to keep an eye on the palace every day!"

As he spoke, the spear turned into an afterimage and stabbed more than ten times.

Xiao Tianming's face was gloomy. He didn't answer, but just waved his sword, either to block or to dodge.

Others may not know Ran Ming's combat capability, but as the leader of the Shadow Guards, how could Xiao Tianming not know!

As a general who has fought on the battlefield, Ran Ming's martial arts are no worse than Guan Yun and Zhao Yu. If they really fight, it is hard to say who will win or lose.

Faced with Ran Ming's fierce and violent attack, Xiao Tianming secretly groaned in his heart.

Although he remained calm on the surface, Xiao Tianming knew that he no longer had the chance to kill the emperor.

Things have come to this point, there is nothing we can do, we can only save our lives first.

Betraying the emperor is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of your clan!

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianming made a prompt decision. After avoiding Ran Ming's two attacks, he suddenly attacked with the sharp sword in his hand!

"Humph!"

Ran Ming's body was as steady as a rock. He held the spear in both hands and spun it suddenly. The sharp sword was caught in it, and the powerful force threw Xiao Tianming away.

But this is exactly what Xiao Tianming wants.

Using the force of flying, Xiao Tianming stomped hard on the pillar of the hall, and his body turned into a shadow and rushed towards Chu Ning at the door of the hall.

"Protect His Highness!" Ran Ming roared and chased after him.

The guards around Chu Ning immediately stepped forward to form a human wall to protect Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning did not show any fear. He raised the loaded sleeve arrow again and pulled the trigger at the rushing Xiao Tianming!

Xiao Tianming's face changed, he turned suddenly in mid-air, and ran out of the hall after landing.

"Did the King allow you to escape?"

Chu Ning's eyes turned cold: "Stop him!"

The servants of the Shen family outside the hall were holding bows and crossbows and shooting at Xiao Tianming who was rushing towards them.

This scene frightened Xiao Tianming so much that his face changed drastically. He dared not rush out of the hall anymore. He immediately lifted up the door with his sword and hid behind it.

"Tuk~tuk~tuk~" The sharp arrow was blocked by the palace door, making a sound.

Xiao Tianming, who had escaped the disaster, was just about to take a breath when the soldiers from the palace surrounded him!

Xiao Tianming's face darkened: "You guys want to kill me?"

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!"

Ran Ming, who had caught up with him, suddenly leaped up and smashed down with his spear.

Xiao Tianming was horrified and it was too late for him to dodge, so he could only hold the sword with both hands to resist.

"Qiang!"

The spear hit the sword, instantly breaking it into two pieces, and then fell heavily on Xiao Tianming's shoulder.

"Click~"

Even though the sharp sword blocked most of the force, the spear still broke Xiao Tianming's right shoulder. A sound of breaking bones was heard, and the piercing pain made Xiao Tianming scream.

"Hmph, kneel down for your highness!"

Ran Ming snorted coldly, and used both hands to force Xiao Tianming down to his knees, unable to move.

The surrounding guards immediately stepped forward and tied up Xiao Tianming.

However, Chu Ning did not immediately step forward to ask, but came to the emperor to plead guilty:

"Father, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me!"

The emperor laughed: "You came at the right time... uh..."

Perhaps because he was too excited, the emperor aggravated his injuries.

Only then did Chu Ning discover that the emperor was injured and his dragon robe was stained red.

"Father, I will send someone to invite the imperial physician to treat you right away!"

"No need, it's just a minor skin injury. By the way, what's the situation outside the palace?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Tenth Brother has been captured by me. Most of his troops have surrendered, and all the rebels besieging the palace have been killed."

"You did a great job. After this is over, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After saying that, the emperor turned and looked at Xiao Tianming not far away, with a cold look in his eyes.

"As the leader of the Shadow Guards, I have treated you fairly well. Why did you join forces with the Tenth Master to rebel?"

This problem has always troubled the emperor.

Even Chu Ning pricked up his ears at this moment, wanting to know the answer.

The captured Xiao Tianming suddenly laughed wildly: "No mistreating? Hahahaha, you used poison to control us to do things for you, thinking that only in this way can you make us loyal to you!

But you forget that we are also human beings, we also have our own families, and we also need to live like normal people!

You give us the antidote once a month and treat it as a grace. Do you really think we are fools?

Although I failed this time, I believe that similar things will happen again in the future. You are destined to be alone, hahahaha!"

Xiao Tianming stated the reason for the rebellion and also revealed the secret of the Shadow Guard.

It turns out that the emperor used drugs to control the shadow guards!

Upon hearing this, the emperor fell silent.

But Chu Ning keenly realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed!
