Chapter 144 With the help of the dragon's offspring, the emperor is murdered?

A sudden clap of lightning exploded outside the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity.

Whether it was the Western Buddha who was still trying to sound tough, or the civil and military officials kneeling below, almost everyone subconsciously shivered.

The young emperor, already quite young, was terrified by the solemn atmosphere. The moment the thunderclap rang out, he buried himself in the arms of the Western Buddha and burst into tears. After a brief moment of shock, the sound of rapid footsteps and the scraping of long swords being drawn echoed outside the palace.

"Traitor! With the Emperor's carriage inside, how dare you remain high in the heavens? Quickly descend to the ground and surrender!"

Seeing this, the man merely chuckled, grabbed the person he was carrying by the back of the collar, and said calmly, "Not bad, you didn't lie. Well then, I'll keep my word and let you go!"

Just as the soldier being held showed a look of relief at surviving a close call, the grip on the back of his neck suddenly loosened.

Losing his support, he immediately fell to the ground.

In extreme terror, his dry throat could only utter a series of incomprehensible cries.

Then *smack*!

He crashed straight down onto the bluestone-paved ground, his head shattering into pieces, splattering red and white blood everywhere.

"Tsk!"

He kept his promise, but he never expected this guy to be so fragile; he was gone in an instant from a mere hundred meters high. Didn't he have an eagle's head? It's one thing to be unable to fly, but he couldn't even flap his wings a couple of times?

Turning his gaze away from the pile of scattered debris on the ground, Zhang Wei looked down at the palace below, protected by hundreds of armed guards.

I've really learned a lot!

Back when he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't even visit the Summer Palace once, but now he doesn't even have to pay for a ticket.

The only downside is that the security guards at this attraction are not very friendly. They are skinny and have sharp teeth like zombies, which is bad enough, but how can they point knives at people?

"A royal carriage? With your bunch of pigs and dogs, wolves and bears, and even the imperial palace overrun by zombies, you're not even human anymore, yet you call yourselves a royal carriage? Have you paid too much indemnity and gone mad?"

"How dare you!"

"presumptuous!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's mockery, the hundred or so guards surrounding Renshou Hall had faces so gloomy they could almost drip water, but they had no other means to stop them except to reprimand him.

If the person were on the ground, it would be easier to deal with, but the steel knife in their hand is never something to be trifled with.

But Zhang Weiren is flying in the sky right now.

As imperial bodyguards, they were not allowed to carry long-range, highly lethal weapons such as muskets and crossbows. Although the outer guards of the Summer Palace had these weapons, they could not fly, and it would take them some time to react and assemble.

Unable to hit or touch, they can only hope to buy some time with words.

However, Zhang Wei paid no heed to their manners. With a wave of his hands, blood energy surged forth, and crimson slashes hurtled towards the guards and the gates of Renshou Hall.

"Our Emperor is mighty!"

The guard with the sword roared, and a wisp of dark purple aura emanated from his yellow jacket.

But the next moment, at the instant the blood and energy clashed, the two, which should have collided head-on, simply brushed past each other, and after passing by, they cleaved the sword-wielding guards who were just forming hand seals to cast spells in half.

"How is this possible? Dragon energy suppresses all evil; how can any evil magic ignore the pressure of dragon energy?"

Inside the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity, a courtier couldn't help but speak out in surprise.

The dragon aura of a dynasty, as a particularly special type of Qi mechanism, often appears alongside a dynasty; a prosperous nation is accompanied by a surge of dragon aura.

When a nation prospers, its power declines, and so does its imperial aura. During its heyday, wise ministers and military generals emerge in droves, the people are wealthy and the nation is strong, and the weather is favorable. But after decline, natural disasters and man-made calamities occur, and evil spirits abound...

It's a typical double-edged sword, the kind that only lets you get on the bus but not let you get off.

As for its effects, they are varied. Cultivators can use dragon energy to accelerate their cultivation, nobles and kings can obtain a life of wealth and honor, officials and generals can have a clear mind and be victorious in battle, and more importantly, as the foundation of a dynasty, the dynasty has an instinctive defense against all other energy sources.

This is also why emperors throughout history have been completely averse to magic and spiritual practice.

Having enjoyed the world, how can one live forever?

Of course, apart from this drawback specifically targeting the emperor, unless the dynasty collapses, the existence of dragon energy is beneficial in most cases. At the very least, various spells are unlikely to have an effect on people protected by dragon energy, and even if they could, they would pay a very heavy price.

As imperial bodyguards with swords, similar in nature to the Imperial Guards, they inherently possess a certain degree of dragon aura protection, making them immune to various evil spells.

However, this evil magic bypassed the protection of the dragon's aura and killed most of the guards, which was something that the court officials could not understand.

Don't understand?

That's perfectly normal if you don't understand!

Back then, Zhang Wei's state of mind when he saw that the Yazi magic had no effect on the dragon-seed corpse rats was not much different from theirs, except that this boomerang was not hitting him now.

Everyone has the character "dragon" in their name, so why should they be treated with the same suspicion as other Qi entities? Isn't it reasonable for brothers to make things easier for each other?

The slash formed from bloodlust only spun twice before leaving a pile of bloodless corpses on the ground.

Having dealt with the minor monsters blocking the gate, he didn't hesitate. Enveloped in bloodlust, he rushed into the gate of Renshou Hall like a whirlwind. The scorching aura emanating from him, like a raging fire, caused the civil officials guarding the gate to subconsciously bow their heads and bend over.

Before the surprised and angry generals could reach out to fill the gap,

The next moment, all the blood energy in his body converged into a beam of dazzling crimson light that shot straight toward the child on the small platform.

"Zai Tian, ​​watch out!"

In an instant, the woman who had been holding the little emperor turned around and sheltered the child in her arms, while she herself chose to turn her back to Yazi Fa's violent attack!

The moment the light touched them, the phoenix robe, court beads, and Buddhist prayer beads on their bodies all emitted a dazzling light. Dense swastika marks mixed with Buddhist scriptures that Zhang Wei could not understand formed a solemn three-meter-tall Buddha statue. The tall and illusory figure sheltered the old man and the young man inside its body, directly facing the scourge of the Yazi Dharma.

"Click click click!"

The magnificent Buddha image collided with the blinding light of blood.

The hall shook, the ground shattered, and under the gaze of hundreds of people, the dazzling blood light evaporated into a large amount of blood-red steam, which drifted towards Zhang Wei in a misty manner. The solemn Buddha image was not faring well either. The combination of blood and filth caused the Buddhist Dharma to disintegrate at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, fine cracks appeared on its body, and even the Buddhist beads and prayer beads that supported its body quickly dimmed and turned into a handful of flying dust and dissipated.

"Snap!"

The next moment, the remaining beam of light completely pierced through the shattered Buddha statue.
