Chapter 492: Imperial City Guard Commander

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Imperial City Guard Commander

Suddenly, the leader of the Seven Wolf Guards shouted, "You, you are Lian Guang?"

Staring in disbelief at the blood-soaked Lian Guang across from him, this was the half-man, half-wolf creature that once cowered beneath him like a dog.

But why was he so formidable now, and why had he suddenly reverted to a human form?

"Yes, I am Lian Guang, and we were all once failures, but now we have won."

"Because we have... Commander Sikong."

Lian Guang firmly responded, then without giving the other an opportunity to speak, he pierced the chest of the Seven Wolf Guards’ leader with a spear.

The leader of the Seven Wolf Guards, dead!

Ahhhhh...

With the death of the leader, the Seven Wolf Guards were like scattered sand, and the Absolute Night Wolf Guard began their real harvest, slaughtering in frenzy.

Behind him, Ji Ming’s eyes widened, his head buzzing, his voice trembling as he said, "How could this happen? Why?"

He was going mad. Even now, he hadn’t realized that Sikong Jing’s Absolute Night Wolf Guards were the very half-man, half-wolf creatures he had gambled away to Beigong Xianfeng a month ago. He found it utterly absurd.

How could the Long Night Black Burning Army have an equal number of soldiers capable of slaughtering his elite Seven Wolf Guards?

Watching one Seven Wolf Guard after another getting slain, Ji Ming’s heart bled in frenzy, as he yelled, "Stop, stop it right now."

Having said that, he was about to charge and stop the harvest of the Absolute Night Wolf Guard...

But just then, Sikong Jing’s icy voice rose from the rear of the battlefield, "Ji Ming, swords and spears are heartless. If you wish to die, then go ahead and try, I assure you I won’t order my Absolute Night Wolf Guards to stop."

With that single sentence, Ji Ming fiercely halted in his tracks. Even he would not be a match for Sikong Jing’s seven hundred knights.

If he entered, he would just be harvested as well.

"Sikong Jing, do you dare to kill this prince?" Ji Ming didn’t dare to take action, but he still threw out a harsh threat.

With a slight curl of his lips, Sikong Jing looked at him from afar and said, "What makes you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you, Seventh Prince? As long as I don’t leave the Long Night Emperor without an heir, with my current status, who would dare to lay a finger on me?"

At those words, Ji Ming’s teeth clenched audibly.

He was the seventh son, and the Emperor had many children, yet Sikong Jing was currently the strongest prodigy of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

Whose status was higher and more important was too difficult to say.

"Your Highness, we must kill all those who know, to silence them."

While Ji Ming stood shaking, at a loss, Yan Ruyu whispered to him from behind.

In an instant, Ji Ming realized something.

Sikong Jing’s decision to stay clearly indicated that he wanted to clear his father-in-law and others of the accusation of being traitors.

Then he heard Yan Ruyu coldly say, "We can’t let Sikong Jing find evidence to clear his name. Otherwise, it will be very unfavorable for you, Your Highness. Even if we fail this time, as long as the accusation of treason stands, Sikong Jing will be hindered at every turn."

With that said, Ji Ming gradually calmed down, his gaze falling on Peng Likui’s body, his eyes flashing coldly.

Peng Likui was an informed party in his plan, but now he was dead. So who would be next?

Just then, Chi Hang, who had just been wounded by Su Zhenglong and Su Yue Immortal, rushed over, anxiously saying, "Your Highness, I will call the Imperial City Guard to annihilate Sikong Jing immediately, please wait."

After speaking, he turned to rush toward the gate of the Imperial City, but at that moment... thud!

Chi Hang felt a pain in his chest, looked down dumbly, and saw his heart pierced through by a sword, blood flowing freely.

Then, instinctively turning to see his killer, he couldn’t help but be stunned, "Seventh Prince, why, why...?"

The one who killed him was none other than the Seventh Prince, Ji Ming.

"Because you knew too much," Ji Ming slowly withdrew his sword, a look of extreme coldness in his eyes.

Chi Hang’s mouth fell open in shock as memories of Su Zhenglong’s family’s warm hospitality flashed through his mind. Overcome with regret, he wished he had never framed them.

With that thought, Chi Hang’s body hit the ground with a thud, lifeless.

Ji Ming didn’t spare a glance for him, clutching his blood-dripping sword as he approached the freshly saved spies by Sikong Jing.

His gaze intently settled on the corpulent spy; this man also needed to be disposed of immediately.

However, just as he was halfway there, Sikong Jing’s smiling face unexpectedly appeared in front of the spies, even standing next to the rotund middle-aged man with a mocking expression.

Ji Ming was momentarily stunned but continued to stride forward, seething, "Sikong Jing, good, let’s fight to the death then!"

He still didn’t take Sikong Jing seriously; in a one-on-one fight, he was sure of victory.

If he could use a duel to the death as a pretext to eliminate Sikong Jing, then the fate of the spies was inconsequential.

But then, boom!

The Absolute Night Wolf Guards suddenly burst between Ji Ming and Sikong Jing. Lian Guang reported, "Commander Sikong, we’ve carried out our orders without fail; all Seven Wolf Guards have been slain, not one of us lost."

Hum!

The report from Lian Guang sent Ji Ming’s head buzzing, trembling uncontrollably. His eyes bloodshot, he stared at his Seven Wolf Guards.

One after another, they lay in pools of blood, only their Demon Wolf steeds whimpered mournfully.

"Sikong Jing, I’ll kill you, have the guts to fight me!" Ji Ming roared furiously, as his True Qi erupted skyward.

Yet Sikong Jing merely sneered, "Absolute Night Wolf Guard, seize Ji Ming and Yan Ruyu, and others. Show no mercy to any resisters."

The crowd erupted in uproar at his words.

There were experts from the Execution Department, the Imperial City Guard, and surrounding citizens who cried out, "How dare you?"

"Why shouldn’t I dare, seize them!" Sikong Jing commanded coldly.

Thud...

The Absolute Night Wolf Guard advanced with menacing eyes, cornering Ji Ming, who provided them with the Demon Wolf Essence Blood.

Before the blood fusion, Ji Ming spoke sweet words, but after the failures, he showed no mercy or loyalty!

They hated the Seven Wolf Guards even more than they hated Ji Ming.

Clang!

As the Absolute Night Wolf Guard charged at Ji Ming, a golden sword suddenly shot from the city walls, embedding between Ji Ming and the Wolf Guards, halting their attack.

Immediately after, a man in Golden Armor floated down, alighting on the sword.

He stared intently at Sikong Jing and began to speak slowly, "Genius of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, you’ve gone too far!"

Upon seeing this man, the soldiers of the Imperial City Guard shouted, "Commander sir!"

Meanwhile, Ji Ming, who had nearly fainted from shock, also cried out, "Commander Huang, you’ve finally arrived... quickly, kill this traitor, he wants to murder this prince, this is outright rebellion!"

Commander Huang, surnamed Huang, paid no heed to him but continued to gaze at Sikong Jing, speaking again, "Genius of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, I am the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, my name is Huang Yu, let’s put an end to this matter."

His voice was deep, his eyes brimming with a chilling gleam.

In fact, the commotion here had already drawn the attention of the skilled fighters of the Imperial City.

As the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, Huang Yu had arrived early but didn’t want to, nor dared to intervene.

On one side was the Seventh Prince, on the other, the incomparable genius of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace. Both sides were tough nuts to crack.

As long as things didn’t get too out of hand, as long as the Seventh Prince could keep suppressing the other side, that was fine. But now, with Sikong Jing asserting his strength, even considering capturing the prince, Huang Yu had no choice but to take action.

He couldn’t allow the Seventh Prince to be taken away right under his nose; that would be indefensible.
