Chapter 906: 425: The King is dead! Fang Qingzhuo’s plot to kill her husband!_2

Suddenly, more than a dozen assassins rushed out of the Ziyu Palace, chased frantically by Gao Yin alone. Soon after, more than a dozen masters from the Shadow Cabinet arrived and followed Gao Yin to chase down Li Chenglian and the other assassins.

"Whoosh!"

After leaving the Ziyu Palace, Li Chenglian quickly released a red crystal stone signal flare!

This signaled to Zhi Li that the assassination of the King was successful!

But at that moment, the entire Purple Jade Mountain was already surrounded by tens of thousands of the Forbidden Army.

Li Chenglian led more than a dozen assassins in a spearhead formation, continuously breaking outwards.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The invaluable poison bombs from the Demon Continent were continuously thrown to the ground, violently exploding, and releasing intense poison fog.

Wherever the poison fog passed, the Forbidden Army fell dead!

These poison bombs from the Demon Continent were specifically designed for clearing paths. They were reluctant to use them when they first stormed into the Purple Jade Mountain, but now, they bombarded freely without care for cost.

These poison bombs were provided by Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou. They were forbidden items in Yaozhou, truly strategic assets. The crazy Princess Yuanyuan even provided these to Zhi Li, showing how displeased she was with Suo Lun.

Such poison bombs, even if they found their way into the Human Kingdom, were extremely rare, and each was exorbitantly priced.

With these poison bombs, they could ensure survival and escape at critical moments.

Each poison bomb came with a specific antidote, which had to be taken before use. When surrounded, breaking these poison bombs would instantly release a poison fog covering tens of square meters. Anyone who came into contact with the fog would instantly die from body decay. However, those who had taken the antidote could move through and escape in the fog.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Li Chenglian’s team of assassins kept hurling poison bombs, continuously hiding within the fog as they broke out and fled.

Countless members of the Forbidden Army, one after another, charged into the poison fog and died instantly, their corpses rotting away gruesomely.

"Fire the arrows, fire the arrows..."

Then, countless arrows were shot towards the poison fog.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Innumerable arrows, denser than a rainstorm, fell furiously.

Li Chenglian and the other assassins either waved their weapons to block or released dragon power to form a Protective Gang Qi around their bodies.

However, the rain of arrows was too dense, covering every angle.

Therefore, the Protective Gang Qi had to envelop the entire body, and the consumption of dragon power was terrifying.

What was most terrifying were the arrows of the Dragon Archers! Who knew how much dragon power it would take to block their arrows.

Gao Yin was not a Dragon Archer, but his cultivation was impressively high, and he shot arrows in a furious rage.

"Whoosh..."

The assassin immediately felt an arrow shot by Gao Yin and swung his weapon fiercely to block.

"Bang!" He was swift, directly chopping off the black gold arrow shot by Gao Yin.

But...

The power of Gao Yin was too tremendous.

As the assassin struck Gao Yin’s arrow, the black gold arrow exploded violently, shattering into countless pieces.

These fragments shot violently towards his head.

The assassin immediately protected his entire body with Protective Gang Qi.

But the arrow, filled with immense dragon power, sent countless fragments piercing through the assassin’s Protective Gang Qi, violently striking his head.

"Bang..."

In an instant, the assassin’s head violently exploded, completely obliterated, dead beyond dead.

Gao Yin’s arrow was shockingly powerful!

But regrettably, he was not a Dragon Archer, so his accuracy was comparatively lacking, unable to shoot deadly techniques like Chain Arrows.

In this way...

Li Chenglian led more than a dozen assassins, breaking poison bombs along the way, escaping through corridors created by the poison fog.

After spending roughly twenty minutes and using up hundreds of poison bombs, Li Chenglian and the assassins finally reached the palace gates.

Li Chenglian and his men drew out their Dragon Gold Swords, about to cut through the palace gates.

"Bang!"

However, just at that moment, the palace gates unexpectedly swung open!

Just as Zhi Li himself had said, he had infiltrated part of the Forbidden Army; although it was not enough to change the overall situation, it could be used at a crucial moment.

Covert actions like secretly opening palace gates could be achieved by embedded spies.

Amidst billowing smoke and poison fog, Li Chenglian and his men escaped from the palace and continued to flee toward the densely populated areas of the city.

By this time, the Zhi Du City Guards had massively mobilized, sealing off the streets of the city.

Following that, hundreds to thousands of shadowy figures appeared on the city streets, dressed identically to Li Chenglian’s assassins.

The real assassins, after blending into the crowd, immediately vanished.

And groups of City Defense Army, seemingly capturing these cloaked figures, were actually covertly aiding the assassins’ escape.

By the time Gao Yin led the Forbidden Army to the scene, Li Chenglian and the others had already disappeared without a trace.

...

After escaping to an underground secret base, Li Chenglian counted the numbers.

Twenty-two superpowerful individuals went to assassinate the King, but only five managed to escape, with seventeen killed.

To know, even the weakest among these people were beyond the City Lord Tuli Yun, and most of their cultivations were comparable to Zhuang Zhixuan.

Such superpowerful individuals, yet seventeen had died.

These seventeen were killed by five under the high experts of the Shadow Cabinet, four by arrows shot by Gao Yin, and the rest by the Arrow Rain of the Forbidden Army.

Their combat skills were super strong, but they were drained of dragon power, unable to deploy Protective Gang Qi any longer, thus they were literally shot to death by random arrows.

For this assassination, both Yin Zhou and Yaozhou paid a tremendous price.
