Chapter 267

Hearing that, the Heavenly Emperor frowned and then looked coldly at the woman on the bed. With a flick of his sleeve, the woman was swept off the bed. Since she wasn’t Xi, she didn’t deserve to sleep on Xi’s bed.

As the Heavenly Emperor raised his hand, the woman wanted to dodge the attack, but it was too late. She directly fell from the bed to the ground and showed her true face.

The Heavenly Emperor looked coldly at the strikingly dressed woman and seized the woman by her throat with a flash, “Where’s Xi?”

Feeling the Heavenly Emperor’s murderous momentum, the woman trembled in fear and turned to look somewhere, saying in a shivering voice, “Your Majesty, help me…”

No sooner had the woman finished speaking than a wave of green mysterious Qi went at the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor leaned aside to dodge the green mysterious Qi. Then, a group of people in black appeared from nowhere. Behind them was Lizhi, Monster King.

The woman took the opportunity to break free from the Heavenly Emperor’s grip and hid behind the Monster King.

Upon seeing the Monster King, the Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes fiercely.

The Monster King looked at the dagger in the Heavenly Emperor’s chest and cracked a complacent smile, “Lou Che, what a surprise!”

The Heavenly Emperor didn’t answer but looked at the Monster King coldly and disdainfully as if looking at a clown performing.

The Monster King was displeased about the Heavenly Emperor’s dismissive eyes. Lou Che was dying. How dared Lou Che still look at him in this way? Well, he used to be afraid of Lou Che, but today, he was not afraid. He came here prepared and vowed to kill Lou Che.

“Go get him.” As the Monster King waved his hand, the men of sacrifice in black rushed towards the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the men of sacrifice in black with an apathetic expression. His handsome face was still poker-faced. He just waved his sleeve but the men of sacrifice couldn’t approach him then.

Looking at the Heavenly Emperor’s relaxed face, the Monster King frowned. Lou Che was competent indeed. Even though he was injured like this, he could deal with the men of sacrifice with ease.

Seeing that the men of sacrifice in black were at a clear disadvantage, the Monster King suddenly had a saber in his hand and joined the fight.

As the Monster King joined the fight, it became harder for the Heavenly Emperor. Very quickly, the Heavenly Emperor felt more and more feeble. His divine power was also fading away quickly.

Staring at the Heavenly Emperor getting weaker, the Monster King sneered, “How are you feeling? Is Godkiller powerful?”

The Heavenly Emperor frowned and subconsciously looked at the dagger thrust into his chest.

Hearing him mention Godkiller, Xi shivered and widened her eyes in horror. They used Godkiller on her father.

“Lou Che, are you surprised?” The Monster King looked at the Heavenly Emperor ironically, his eyes full of complacency.

Faced with the Monster King’s mockery, the Heavenly Emperor didn’t get mad or reply. Instead, he pulled the dagger out of his chest.

Instantly, the blood splashed around. The stainless white clothes were colored red by the blood.

The Monster King was freaked out by the Heavenly Emperor’s sudden action, his gloomy eyes full of astonishment. Pulling out the dagger now would undoubtedly worsen the injury. Was Lou Che insane?

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

“Your Majesty.” Lord Qi Hua looked in surprise at the Heavenly Emperor who was stained with blood all over and screamed.

Upon seeing the comer, the Monster King and the Heavenly Emperor had utterly different expressions. The former one was fearless and faintly excited as if he saw his partner rather than his opponent. The other one looked aloof with fierce eyes as if he saw an enemy rather than a helper.

Lord Qi Hua didn’t notice their expressions. He pulled out his sword from his waist and slashed a few men in black in a row. Then, he directly rushed to the Heavenly Emperor and looked at the latter, “I’m sorry I came late. Please forgive me.”

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lord Qi Hua’s guilty face, his eyes flickering. Yet, he just said nothing.

“Your Majesty, I’ll take you out of here first,” Lord Qi Hua said while confronting the men of sacrifice in black.

“OK.” His aloof voice was emotionless.

Lord Qi Hua’s dark eyes glistened. He turned around and waved his sword, making way for the Heavenly Emperor.

However, no sooner had he moved than he felt a sharp pain. With his heart thumping, he turned around and looked at the Heavenly Emperor in shock.

Upon seeing the dagger in Lord Qi Hua’s back, the Monster King and the others also looked at the Heavenly Emperor in shock.

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor’s empty right hand, Lord Qi Hua instantly turned ghastly pale and slumped to the ground. Now, he realized that he had been injured by Godkiller.

The Monster King looked at the Heavenly Emperor’s aloof face, his eyes flickering, “When did you figure it out?” He thought they acted very well, but he didn’t expect that the Heavenly Emperor had figured out everything. If Lou Che didn’t get distracted and stabbed by Godkiller for Lou Xi, the Monster King really didn’t dare to imagine what consequences they would have today.

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at Lord Qi Hua’s ghastly pale face and slightly narrowed his eyes, saying coldly, “If you don’t want anyone to find out, don’t do it.”

He had fought with these people for such a long time, but the secret guards of the Nianxue Palace still didn’t appear. Clearly, they had been exterminated. No one but Lord Qi Hua and Supreme Lord Tianlu could deal with the secret guards in Xi’s palace. Supreme Lord Tianlu always stood aloof from worldly affairs. He loved Xi the most. Zichun and Xi were best friends. Supreme Lord Tianlu would never hurt the people in Xi’s palace. So, it must be Lord Qi Hua. Maybe when Lord Qi Hua went to send a message to the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace, the Heavenly Emperor didn’t find anything wrong with Lord Qi Hua. However, after what had happened, it would be too ignorant of him if he didn’t realize anything.

Lord Qi Hua took a tumble and went skidding toward the Monster King. Grabbing the Monster King’s collar, he said anxiously, “Give me the cure. Now.” He didn’t want to die. He must get the cure.

The Monster King looked at Lord Qi Hua frantically and pushed him away disdainfully, “What’s your problem? Since when did you hear that there was a cure for Godkiller?” If Godkiller had a cure, how could it be named Godkiller?

“Whatever,” Lord Qi Hua yelled at the Monster King, “All I want is the cure now.” His voice was trembling. The strong fear of death had swept through him. Now, he wanted nothing but to live.

The Monster King paid no heed to Lord Qi Hua who had gone crazy and then turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor, “Lou Che, you should know one will die for sure if he’s stabbed by Godkiller. You’ll die today. Go to hell.”

The Monster King raised his saber and rushed at the Heavenly Emperor but Lord Qi Hua just got in his way.

The Monster King looked at Lord Qi Hua who got in his way and shouted angrily, “What are you doing? Which side do you take?”

Lord Qi Hua cracked a sinister smile, “I belong with neither side. Now, I only want to drag you down to hell.” Then, Lord Qi Hua slashed his sword at the Monster King.

Upon seeing the scene, the Monster King immediately blocked the sword with his saber, saying anxiously, “What’s your problem? Didn’t we agree to work together?” Why did this old man go back on his word? If the Monster King had known Lord Qi Hua would vacillate, he wouldn’t have worked with Lord Qi Hua.

Hearing that, Lord Qi Hua showed a sinister look, “Enough! If I didn’t work with you, how could I be stabbed by Godkiller?” That was the last thing he wanted to hear now. If the Monster King didn’t offer to work with him, how could he become so miserable? Since there was no cure for Godkiller, he would drag the Monster King down before dying anyway.

“You… are really a psycho!” The Monster King looked at Lord Qi Hua resignedly, his eyes full of annoyance. It wasn’t the Monster King who stabbed Lord Qi Hua with Godkiller. Lord Qi Hua didn’t take revenge on Lou Che but on the Monster King. Clearly, Lord Qi Hua was nuts.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the two of them fighting, his eyes slightly narrowed. He pulled his soft sword out of his waist and rushed to the people in black. He must get out. He was fine with dying but he must rescue Xi before dying.

Liqing looked at the chaotic scene with a frown. Her father was badgered by Lord Qi Hua. Those men of sacrifice in black were no match for Lou Che. As it went on, Lou Che would run away. Although Lou Che was stabbed by Godkiller, he might still be able to find a way to solve it. After all, Lou Che was not an ordinary person. Just in case, she couldn’t let Lou Che get away today by all means.

With that, Liqing glanced at Xi and had an idea. She grabbed Xi and rushed outside.

“Lou Che.” Liqing pressed the dagger against Xi’s neck and looked at the Heavenly Emperor, shouting, “Look who she is!”

The Heavenly Emperor turned around upon hearing that. When he saw Xi, he rushed to her with excitement, “Xi.”

Xi was excited to see the Heavenly Emperor too. She really wanted to rush over and hug him, telling him that she was fine and safe. However, she just couldn’t.

Seeing the scene, Liqing immediately moved the dagger to Xi’s neck closer, “If you want her dead, you can come over.”

Staring at the blood mark on Xi’s neck, the Heavenly Emperor immediately stopped, his eyes full of pity. He looked coldly at Liqing, “What do you want?”

Hearing that, Liqing sneered, “I want you dead!”

Xi wanted to shake her head but she couldn’t move at all. She could only blink at the Heavenly Emperor, indicating that he couldn’t agree.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Xi and said without hesitation, “Sure, but you must let her go first.” Since he was stabbed by Godkiller, he had never meant to survive. However, he must rescue Xi before dying.

Hearing that, Liqing arched her brows and with a smile, she withdrew the dagger from Xi’s neck. Then, she winked at the two men of sacrifice in black behind the Heavenly Emperor.

The two men of sacrifice in black took the hint and stabbed at the Heavenly Emperor with their swords.

Xi widened her eyes and her tears just flooded out.

When the men of sacrifice raised their swords, the Heavenly Emperor had noticed that, but he just stood there and looked at Xi affectionately.

The two swords went into the Heavenly Emperor’s body. The sound was so piercing to Xi.

Xi was filled with unfathomable sadness. The deep grief almost overwhelmed her.

Suddenly, Xi gave off purple cold Qi. Then, a streak of purple light rushed out of Xi, “Ah…”
