Chapter 949 - The Anti-material Rifle

The person who shouted was the chief steward, Si Baokun. After Zhangsun Chengdu came out, he raised his hand and pointed. Many guards aimed the God-killing Arrows in their hands at him.

Zhangsun Chengdu looked at Zhao Xianlong and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what is going on? Did I do something wrong?"

Zhao Xianlong waved his hand. Some guards immediately carried four bodies over.

Although these four people were wearing ghost masks, Zhangsun Chengdu could recognize them at a glance. They were his four missing disciples.

Zhao Xianlong said, "Zhangsun Chengdu, you know these people, don't you? You colluded with Ghost King Sect to kill my son-in-law. Isn't this a rebellion?"

At this point, Zhangsun Chengdu had no time to think about how the Four Great Vajrapanis had fallen into Zhao Xianlong's hands. He said with an aggrieved look, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what happened.

"Perhaps these four traitorous disciples have orchestrated it themselves. Perhaps someone wants to purposefully frame me.

"No matter what, my loyalty to the kingdom is evident. I will never do such a rebellious thing.

"Whether it is a rebellion or not, you should look into it first, Your Majesty."

Zhao Xianlong shouted, "Go and arrest Zhangsun Chengdu!"

"Father, wait a minute!"

At this time, Prince Zhao Yu came out in a hurry. He said to Zhao Xianlong, "Father, the Imperial Preceptor has really been wronged. I can guarantee that he will never rebel."

Zhao Xianlong sneered. "If it wasn't for Qin Haodong who helped me find out your secret, I would have been deceived by your acting skills."

The matter of being cuckolded was absolutely not allowed to be made public. Otherwise, it would become a scandal for the entire kingdom.

He bellowed, "Zhao Yu, you are a Prince. Why did you appear from a courtier's mansion late at night? What are you trying to do?"

According to the rules of Tortoise Kingdom, Princes and Princesses were not allowed to get too close to courtiers before ascending the throne. Otherwise, it would be viewed that they were forming a clique for personal gains and a rebellion!

Zhao Yu had always relied on Wu Yuenian's favor. He was used to being arrogant and doing whatever he wanted, so how could he care about these things?

At this time, Zhao Xianlong pointed it out in public. Zhao Yu was at a loss for a moment and said, "I… I… I just came to discuss some things with the Imperial Preceptor!"

"Are you discussing how to seize my throne?" Zhao Xianlong snapped, "Get out of my way as soon as possible!"

Although the surrounding Royal Guard were expressionless, they were quite shocked in their hearts. In the past, Zhao Xianlong always doted on this Prince. It was the first time for him to be so strict with this Prince today.

Zhangsun Chengdu had been watching from the side. He was sure that Zhao Xianlong had made up his mind to kill him today.

Seeing that Zhao Yu's plea was useless, he took out a jade bottle from his pocket. Then, he said, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to Tortoise Kingdom. I refine this kind of tonic for you every month."

What he was holding in his hand was the antidote for the maggot hidden in his bone marrow. In the past, he gave Zhao Xianlong one every month. He had no time to think too much now, so he directly took it out and used it as his trump card.

With a sneering smile, Zhao Xianlong took out a small glass bottle and threw it over.

Zhangsun Chengdu reached out to catch the glass bottle. When he saw the wriggling maggot in it, his expression suddenly changed. He exclaimed, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! There is no cure for the maggot hidden in the bone marrow."

Zhao Xianlong sneered and said, "It is just a poisonous insect. My son-in-law is Medical Sage. There is no disease that he can't cure."

Only then did Zhangsun Chengdu understand why Zhao Xianlong had mobilized the forces to come and attack him. It turned out that he had already taken out the poisonous insect from his body.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "It's that damn boy again. I should have killed him myself!"

However, he didn't see Qin Haodong after looking around.

Zhao Xianlong shouted, "Zhangsun Chengdu intends to rebel. Arrest him. Kill him on the spot if he resists!"

Zhangsun Chengdu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He knew that today's matter could not be settled peacefully. Thus, he reached out for Zhao Yu and grabbed his neck with one hand. "Zhao Xianlong, don't forget that your son is still in my hands."

Zhao Yu cried out in horror, "Imperial Preceptor, what are you doing? Hurry up and let me go! Father, save me quickly!"

The expressions of Si Baokun, Shangguan Qiong, and the others changed greatly. The Prince was now a hostage. Their movements would probably be restrained.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Xianlong did not panic at all. On the contrary, he coldly said, "Culprit, kill him if you can!"

He knew very well that Zhangsun Chengdu was just bluffing. Zhao Yu was Zhangsun Chengdu's son. Zhao Xianlong did not care about his life or death at all.

Zhangsun Chengdu was a little stunned. By right, Zhao Yu was Zhao Xianlong's only son, the heir of Tortoise Kingdom. Why didn't Zhao Xianlong care about Zhao Yu at all?

"Could it be that the matter that Zhu Yu is my son has been exposed?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head again. He and Wu Yuenian were the only two people who knew about it. There was no way this could get out.

Zhao Xianlong did not care about Zhao Yu's life or death now. However, he would not hurt Zhao Yu in any way because Zhao Yu was his own son.

At this time, he heard Zhao Xianlong shout again, "Prince Zhao Yu, together with the culprit Zhangsun Chengdu, poisoned me with the intention of rebelling, so shoot and kill him, too."

After hearing this order, Shangguan Qiong and others were taken aback. They could not figure out what was going on for a while.

After hearing this kill order, Zhangsun Chengdu's heart suddenly sank. It seemed that Zhao Xianlong had known about Zhao Yu's secret. Otherwise, there was no way he would kill his own son.

Under the circumstances, he could only cut off all means of retreat. He threw Zhao Yu back into the room. Then, he threw himself at Zhao Xianlong.

According to Zhangsun Chengdu's thought, as long as Zhao Xianlong was killed by him, Zhao Yu could directly ascend the throne. Even if there was opposition from other courtiers, he could slowly suppress it with his own strength.

Although this would cause the vitality of Tortoise Kingdom to be greatly affected, there was no other way now. He could only take a risk.

He was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Even though flying was forbidden in Tortoise City, his speed was still as fast as a lightning bolt. He rushed toward Zhao Xianlong.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry, shoot the arrows!"

After recovering from his daze, Si Baokun immediately gave orders to his archers. Suddenly, an intensive torrent of arrows shot toward Zhangsun Chengdu like raindrops.

However, his speed was really too fast. Most of the God-killing Arrows missed. Only a few arrows hit the target but these arrows were casually swatted away by his momentum.

On a roof 800 meters away, there was a most advanced anti-material rifle in Qin Haodong's hands. At this time, he was observing everything that was happening in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion through the scope.

Seeing the performance of Zhangsun Chengdu, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head. It seemed that these God-killing Arrows were really useless when it came to masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. He could only place his hope in the big rifle in front of him.

He hadn't come with Zhao Xianlong. Instead, he had hidden here to find a suitable opportunity to attack Zhangsun Chengdu.

"Protect the King!"

Seeing that the God-killing Arrows didn't work, Si Baokun and Shangguan Qiong stood in front of Zhao Xianlong together.

It was a pity that they were more than loyal but their strength was not enough. They were knocked away by Zhangsun Chengdu in a flash. They couldn't stop him at all.

"Zhao Xianlong, go to hell!"

Zhangsun Chengdu jumped into the air and slammed downward with his palm, which created a blast of wind and thunder.

At this moment, Zhangsun Chengdu and Zhao Xianlong were too close to each other. For fear of accidentally injuring the King, even the archers did not dare to shoot.

Zhao Xianlong's expression was calm. There was even a gleam of excitement in his eyes. He raised his hand and slammed outward.

He had just broken through to the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so he also wanted to test his cultivation.

With a loud bang, two masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm confronted each other. The momentum was earth-shattering. After the two palms collided, a tornado-like airwave was stirred up. This made the surrounding Royal Guard take a few steps back in succession.

Zhangsun Chengdu thought he could kill Zhao Xianlong with one strike. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to kill Zhao Xianlong, but he was also forced to take seven or eight steps back.

Although Zhao Xianlong flew backward and was at a disadvantage in the fight, obviously, the difference between them was not too much.

Zhangsun Chengdu stopped and cried in surprise, "You have also reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm?"

Zhao Xianlong proudly said, "How is it? You didn't expect it, did you?"

Zhangsun Chengdu coldly shouted, "So what? You are still no match for me."

After that, he rushed over again. The two of them began to fight.

As for the fight between the masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, the others could only watch. Although Zhao Xianlong brought 10,000 Royal Guard with him, none of them could offer any help.

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, their palms collided again.

At any rate, Zhao Xianlong had just reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. In terms of cultivation, he was still slightly weaker than Zhangsun Chengdu. Thus, he suffered a hidden setback in this collision. He was sent flying tens of meters backward. Then, he felt a searing heat in his chest all of a sudden and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although Si Baokun had suffered some internal injuries, he had been observing Zhangsun Chengdu closely. After seizing this opportunity, he ordered his men to shoot the arrows again.

Instantly, all the Royal Guard present shot the arrows at the same time. Countless God-killing Arrows flew toward Zhangsun Chengdu with fierce whooshing sounds.

"Go away!" Zhangsun Chengdu shouted.

His momentum erupted to the extreme. Next, the coming God-killing Arrows were all shaken off.

However, at this moment, there was a loud bang in the night sky. Then, a golden bullet broke through Zhangsun Chengdu's body-protecting Genuine Qi and directly penetrated his right chest.

He was about to launch another attack at Zhao Xianlong. Unexpectedly, he was injured.

"What is this?"

Zhangsun Chengdu spat out a big mouthful of blood. He looked at the injury on his chest. He then looked around. He did not understand how he got his wound.

"Zhao Xianlong is far away from me, so it is impossible for him to launch an attack on me. These God-killing Arrows of the Royal Guard were deflected by me. What kind of hidden weapon hurt me?"

However, he had no time to think too much now. The bullet had completely penetrated his right chest. His internal organs were seriously injured. He would only wait to die if he stayed here. Therefore, he had to escape as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he quickly shifted and was about to leave. Unquestionably, Zhao Xianlong would not give him the chance.

Although he did not know how Qin Haodong did it, nor did he know how the bloody hole appeared in Zhangsun Chengdu's chest, Zhangsun Chengdu was seriously injured.

Zhao Xianlong wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill him. He punched out with both fists. The fist shadows all over the sky instantly engulfed Zhangsun Chengdu.

The situation was completely reversed this time. Zhangsun Chengdu, who was seriously injured, was no match for Zhao Xianlong at all. He was beaten back step by step.

Qin Haodong nodded with satisfaction. It was worthy of being the most advanced anti-material rifle. Not only was its range long, but its power was also great. The bullets refined by the Evil Spirit Gathering Furnace were also very powerful and successfully broke through Zhangsun Chengdu body-protecting Genuine Qi.

Of course, this was also because his Spirit was powerful enough. He was able to lock onto Zhangsun Chengdu's original body even though Zhangsun Chengdu was moving about quickly. Otherwise, no matter how good his gun method was, he wouldn't have been able to hit the target.

However, Zhangsun Chengdu was unaware of all these. He had finally found an opportunity to collide with Zhao Xianlong once more. He flew into the air and hoped that the force of the rebound could help him to flee.

Everything was going according to plan. However, when he was in the air, he heard two loud bangs in succession. Then, he felt a sharp pain in each leg, respectively. His knees were shattered.
