Qi Ning’an was standing on the enthronement platform, originally accepting the worship of thousands of people. Unexpectedly, suddenly a black shadow out of thin air appeared beside her and stabbed at her throat with a sword.
All this happened too fast and too suddenly.
Suddenly, the pupils of many masters on the scene shrank sharply. They asked themselves that if they encountered such an assassination, they would definitely not be able to avoid it and would surely die.
The timing, position, and attack angle of that black shadow could all be called flawless.
Obviously, this is a powerful and experienced assassin！
At the critical moment of life and death, Ning’an didn’t have time to think much and quickly slapped out with a palm.
“Puff！ ”
The sword tip penetrated the palm, and blood flowed out instantly. However, it also blocked the sword tip.
However, at this moment, another figure appeared out of thin air behind Ning An.
It was a woman wearing a veil, with a white dress fluttering, like a celestial being from outside the sky, holding a long sword shining with cold light, and the tip of the sword was stabbing straight at the back of Ning An’s head.
There was no way to avoid it, this was a killing move！
The people at the scene were so scared that their bodies turned cold.
“Stop！” The Great Zhou Emperor shouted sharply, like a wild dragon roaring, shaking the heaven and earth.
Even so, he was powerless. The two killers not only made decisive moves, but also were both Great Saint powerhouses.
Most importantly, they were too close to Ning An.
There was simply no time to rescue her.
“Sister Ning An——” The little white fox’s complexion changed drastically, and she let out a shrill cry.
She also did not expect that such a change would occur at the enthronement ceremony. It was too unexpected.
Moreover, the two killers cooperated seamlessly, and it was almost impossible to avoid.
“Pfft！”
The tip of the sword of the woman in white quickly stabbed into the back of Ning An’s head, and the tip of the sword came out from the center of her eyebrows, completely piercing through Ning An’s head.
Success！
A hint of a proud smile flowed out from the corner of the woman’s mouth.
At the same time, the first black shadow that appeared also stabbed a sword into Ning An’s heart.
At this moment, the whole audience was in chaos.
Everyone seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, their minds buzzing. At this moment, there was only one thought in their hearts –
The emperor is dead！
Originally, there were some aristocratic families from the Great Wei and the Great Qian at the scene who were still a bit dissatisfied with Ning An’s ascension to the throne. However, after seeing the vision of heaven and earth they realized that Ning An was the true one destined by heaven.
In particular, the words that Ning An said just now contained the governance policy. If it was carried out according to Ning An’s idea, then Zhongzhou would not only be unified but also have an unprecedented great unity.
The people of Zhongzhou would no longer have to suffer the pain of war.
The people of Zhongzhou could live a stable life forever.
This was something that every Zhongzhou person dreamed of.
Those who have not experienced the flames of war do not know how hard-won peace is, and those who have not experienced the cruelty of war will not understand the preciousness of peace.
For tens of thousands of years, the three kingdoms in Zhongzhou have been in constant disputes, and countless people have been displaced and their families have been torn apart.
The people of Zhongzhou have suffered too much.
They yearn for peace too much.
Today, Ning An ascended the throne and Zhongzhou was unified, which made everyone see hope.
But who would have thought that at the coronation ceremony Ning An was killed. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for those Zhongzhou people who were full of hope.
”The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead…”
”What should we do？”
”Zhongzhou has no hope again！”
Sadness was quickly replaced by anger.
”Catch the assassin and avenge the emperor！”
“They have destroyed our hope. We can’t let them escape！”
“Kill them…”
“……”
On the enthronement platform, after succeeding, the two assassins were about to draw their swords and leave this place.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.
It was seen that Ning’an’s body turned into a wisp of green smoke in an instant and dissipated with the wind.
Not a single drop of blood could be seen.
Not a single hair was left.
The two assassins looked at each other in dismay. They were experienced assassins with great strength and immediately discovered the reason.
“This is not the real body, but a dao body. Damn it！”
“Not good, let’s go.”
After realizing something was wrong, the two assassins were about to flee this place. Suddenly, a slender figure blocked their way and said, “Since the two of you have come, why leave in a hurry?”
The person who blocked them was Ye Qiu.
“Get lost！” As the black shadow spoke, he had already made a move. The long sword spit out the peerless sharpness and pointed directly at Ye Qiu’s brow.
As fast as lightning.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu’s speed was even faster. When the sword tip was about to approach his brow, he suddenly stretched out two fingers like lightning and easily clamped the sword tip between his fingers.
The sword tip could no longer move forward by a single centimeter.
“What！” The black shadow’s pupils shrank sharply.
He had great confidence in his strength and assassination skills. Just now, even a Saint King powerhouse might not have been able to dodge that strike. But unexpectedly, Ye Qiu easily clamps his sword tip.
“I was talking to you nicely. Why did you make a move？ Having too much anger is not a good thing.”
Ye Qiu smiled slightly, released his fingers like lightning, and then quickly stretched out his index finger and flicked it gently on the sword tip.
Only heard a “ding” sound like a dragon’s roar. In an instant, the long sword trembled violently, and the black shadow was like being struck by lightning, and his body involuntarily retreated.
“Peng peng peng…”
The black shadow retreated more than a dozen steps in a row before stabilizing his figure.
As for the woman in white, after seeing her companion being repelled, she took a deep look at Ye Qiu, immediately changed her strategy, gently tapped her toes, and quickly soared into the sky, ready to cross the void and leave here.
“Come and still want to leave. What do you take us for？” Ye Qiu sneered.
Bang！
The next moment, the woman in white was like hitting a steel plate, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and her body was immediately bounced back to the original place.
“What’s going on？” The woman in white looked at the sky in confusion, as if there was a wall in the invisible.
Ye Qiu called out： “Old thing！”
“Understood！” Long-browed True Man responded and chuckled, forming seals with his hands in front of him.
The next moment.
“Weng！”
The sky trembled.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of white light appeared out of thin air and in the blink of an eye became a terrifying great formation, like a cage, trapping the woman in white and that black shadow within it.
It was only at this time that the woman in white and the black shadow reacted and realized that they had fallen into a trap.
Suddenly, the two of them were so angry that they were almost exploding with rage.
They had assassinated people all their lives and had never suffered a defeat. However, today, not only did they fail, but they also fell into someone else’s trap. It was truly hateful！
The Long-browed True Man cursed and said, “Dammit, I don’t know where you two got the courage to actually carry out an assassination in such a situation? You’re really audacious! Fortunately, I was well-prepared.”
“Two people, for an interview, what do you two feel about this？”
“Surprised or not, unexpected or not？”
The two assassins looked at the Long-browed True Man, with killing intent in their eyes, as if they wanted to engrave the Long-browed True Man’s face deep into their souls.
“Damn Taoist priest, you actually cheat me. You wait for me!” The black shadow shouted angrily.
The Long-browed True Man was not afraid at all and instead shouted, “I’m right here waiting. Have the guts to come and kill me！”
“Since you can’t kill me, then what are you blabbering about？”
“Trash！”
