Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Kill the Donkey after Its Milling Work is Done

Song Jing was back atop the city wall in an instant!

Bai Paoyi and others respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects!"

Song Jing didn’t speak, but just looked over at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan still stood there quietly.

Song Jing’s brows furrowed slightly, then he said, "General Bai, Brother Lin, come with me!"

While speaking, Song Jing walked ahead.

"This..."

Bai Paoyi glanced at Lin Fan, his intuition telling him that there was something off about Song Jing at this moment.

But Lin Fan himself remained very calm, saying lightly, "Let’s go."

Lin Fan also started walking forward, following behind Song Jing.

Bai Paoyi was somewhat in a daze, thinking to himself: "What in the world is going on? Why do I feel like something is going to happen between them?"

Nevertheless, Bai Paoyi followed after them shortly after.

Finally, Song Jing led Lin Fan and Bai Paoyi straight into the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, the Jinluan Palace was very quiet; besides the three of them, there wasn’t another soul to be seen.

Song Jing stood there quietly, as did Lin Fan, who likewise did not speak.

Bai Paoyi stood not far away, feeling the atmosphere become somewhat oppressive, making him very uncomfortable. Originally, Bai Paoyi wanted to step forward, but the oppressive atmosphere prevented him from moving, and he could only stand there.

Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment!

After a long, long while, Song Jing slowly turned around, looked at Lin Fan and said, "Brother Lin, I’m sorry!"

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan just laughed and did not speak.

Meanwhile, Bai Paoyi not far away couldn’t help but be a bit stunned, pondering why Song Jing would apologize to Lin Fan.

Song Jing spoke again, "Brother Lin, do you know why I asked you here?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I know!"

"Ah!"

With a sigh, Song Jing said, "To be honest, if given a choice, I really wouldn’t want to lay a hand on you. I truly want to be your friend forever, but... the Royal Family is the most ruthless!"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The True Dragon Power, it’s an essential artifact for the Royal Family, one that only the Royal Family can possess. And you... having acquired the True Dragon Power, have already posed a certain threat to me, to the Royal Family!"

"As the saying goes, one cannot sleep soundly by the side of a couch that bears another. Therefore... I should eliminate you, and I trust, Brother Lin, you won’t mind!"

Song Jing looked at Lin Fan again and said, "Of course, Brother Lin you still have another choice... that is, if you destroy your own Purple Mansion and live as an ordinary man from now on, we can still be friends!"

Lin Fan laughed once more, obviously enjoying himself, before continuing to say, "If I don’t destroy my own Purple Mansion, will you kill me?"

"Yes," Song Jing nodded and said.

"Ah!"

Lin Fan sighed as well and said, "Song Jing, do you think I’m someone who would willingly destroy his own Purple Mansion?"

Lin Fan’s response seemed to be completely within Song Jing’s expectation.

Song Jing also laughed and said, "With this being the case, I feel no burden in my heart, haha!"

As he spoke, Song Jing’s right hand suddenly reached forward, grabbing straight at Lin Fan.

Song Jing had made his move against Lin Fan!

At this moment, Bai Paoyi finally snapped back to reality, and he understood that Song Jing intended to kill Lin Fan because Lin Fan could harness the True Dragon Power, which was perceived as a threat to Song Jing, who therefore decided to eliminate Lin Fan to prevent future trouble.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Bai Paoyi wanted to stop Song Jing.

But alas, Bai Paoyi was simply incapable of stopping him.

Bai Paoyi’s heart was filled only with sighs, feeling that Lin Fan was done for!

Because Song Jing’s earlier performance outside the Imperial City was too exceptional, although Bai Paoyi knew of Lin Fan’s prowess, he did not believe that Lin Fan was a match for Song Jing.

Therefore, Bai Paoyi thought that under Song Jing’s assault, Lin Fan was surely doomed.

Just as Song Jing’s grasp was about to land on Lin Fan.

At that moment, an Energy Barrier suddenly appeared around Lin Fan.

This was a barrier formed by an Array!

Furthermore, the Array contained True Dragon Power, making its force all the more formidable.

Song Jing’s attack suddenly halted, unable to advance any further.

That is to say, Lin Fan’s Defensive Array had withstood Song Jing’s attack.

"Lin Fan, he actually blocked His Majesty’s attack," Bai Paoyi thought amidst his shock, but he was also extremely relieved; relieved that Lin Fan had withstood Song Jing’s first attack, which meant that there was still a chance for redemption.

At this time, Song Jing looked at Lin Fan, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Brother Lin, you’ve truly surprised me, having blocked my attack."

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan merely laughed and did not speak, appearing very calm on the surface.

In fact, Lin Fan himself was also extremely shocked at this time.

He thought to himself: "I’ve underestimated Song Jing, his ability to harness the full power of the True Dragon Power, its terror is truly extraordinary."

In an instant, Lin Fan had already considered retreating.

Lin Fan had decided that should the opportunity arise, he would not hesitate to retreat at the first chance.

However, unfortunately for him, Song Jing was now eyeing him fiercely, leaving no chance for him to retreat.

As Song Jing was about to strike again.

Bai Paoyi was taken aback and quickly rushed up, grabbing hold of Song Jing and said, "Your Majesty, please don’t do this, don’t destroy your own great wall. The reason Your Majesty could secure the throne, Lin Fan has contributed greatly!"

Song Jing, grabbed like this by Bai Paoyi, was obviously displeased, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said, "General Bai, let go!"

"I won’t let go!"

Bai Paoyi said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, today, I must stop you from doing something foolish."

"Foolish?"

Song Jing sneered and said, "Do you think, if I kill Brother Lin, that would be foolish?"

At this point, Song Jing’s cold gaze stared directly at Bai Paoyi, and he continued, "I tell you, keeping him would be the real folly!"

"General Bai, to speak frankly, I do not wish to fall out with you, so please let go of my hand now!" Song Jing finally said.

"No!"

Bai Paoyi once again asserted firmly.

"Sigh!"

Song Jing snorted and said, "Since this is the case, do not blame me for being impolite!"

Thereafter, Bai Paoyi only felt a formidable surge of energy sweeping directly toward him. Bai Paoyi could not withstand this energy at all, his body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, and then...

He passed out directly!

"The Royal Family is indeed the most ruthless!"

At this time, Lin Fan said, "I really did not expect that you would actually strike at Bai Paoyi."

Shaking his head, Song Jing said, "Brother Lin, rest assured, General Bai has merely fainted and has no other issues! It’s you, Brother Lin... who’s in danger!"

Song Jing made his move once again!

A punch, striking at Lin Fan’s Array.

Boom boom boom...

After a loud noise, Lin Fan’s Defensive Array began to shatter under Song Jing’s attack.

Song Jing was really too formidable.

Although the Defensive Array laid out by Lin Fan was very strong.

But...

It still couldn’t resist Song Jing’s attack.

Lin Fan’s heart grew even more astonished.

This time, Lin Fan didn’t even have time to repair the Array, and Song Jing’s second attack had already arrived.

By the time Song Jing’s second attack arrived, Lin Fan’s Defensive Array could no longer function and was directly blown apart. Along with it, a massive energy directly hit Lin Fan’s body, throwing him back to smash against the wall, then he fell to the ground.

Pu!

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of blood!

Lin Fan had been injured!

And it was a severe injury!

"Brother Lin, I’m sorry!"

Song Jing said earnestly, "Really, I am very sorry. For our Royal Family’s foundation, I must sacrifice you. If you are to blame, blame your ability to harness our Royal Family’s True Dragon power. Keeping you, the threat is simply too great!"

Lin Fan wanted to speak.

But, Lin Fan simply couldn’t speak, as he only felt endless energy sweeping towards him. If he opened his mouth, this energy would enter his mouth, impacting his lungs.

Lin Fan could only look at Song Jing with indignation!

To be honest, at this moment, Lin Fan began to regret.

If he had anticipated this earlier, he wouldn’t have helped Song Jing.

But now Lin Fan’s regret was clearly too late.

"I am not willing!"

Lin Fan’s heart was roaring continuously, and he thought, "Could it be that today, I am truly going to die here..."

Afterward, Lin Fan even felt the heavy force of the True Dragon acting within his Soul Ocean, as if his Soul Ocean was about to collapse, and then, Lin Fan’s consciousness became increasingly blurred and he directly passed out...

Song Jing walked up to Lin Fan’s side, looking at Lin Fan somewhat numbly, his facial expression complex.

At this time, Song Jing’s heart also began to struggle continuously.

To tell the truth, deep down, Song Jing truly did not want to kill Lin Fan.

Because, in his view, he regarded Lin Fan as a friend as well.

But...

At the same time, Song Jing also felt that he had to kill Lin Fan.

Because, for the Royal Family!

After some time, Song Jing said, "Killing him will certainly affect my Martial Path, making it difficult for me to advance further in the future..."

"Forget it, forget it! Still, better kill him. Although killing him brings me no benefits, at least, it can ensure the whole Dasong Dynasty rests easy."

"Brother Lin, I am sorry, really sorry, I have no intention of this! I really do not want to kill you, but... sigh, for the Royalty!"

Then, Song Jing slowly raised his hand, and at the same time, waves of killing intent began to surge around him.

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, Bai Paoyi called out.

It turned out that Bai Paoyi had finally come to, just in time to see Song Jing preparing to kill Lin Fan.

Song Jing temporarily stayed his hand, turning his head to look at Bai Paoyi.

"Your Majesty, are you truly determined to kill Lin Fan?" Bai Paoyi asked.

Song Jing nodded, stating, "He must die! For the Royalty, he cannot live."
