"Witcher! They are the witchers of the Great Witch Kingdom!"

The old eunuch beside the emperor instantly recognized the identities of the four assassins.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" the old eunuch cried out in alarm.

But the timing chosen by the four witchers was simply too perfect.

Everyone present had their attention focused on the Fourth Prince, Qiao Yu, and no one could have imagined that someone would assassinate the emperor at this time.

The sudden upheaval frightened everyone.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Three martial generals who were close by used their own bodies to shield the emperor from the rubble, ice, and lightning.

One was smashed into mincemeat, one was frozen into an ice sculpture, and the other was burned into a charred corpse. However, the remaining lightning was not something Kang Shunzhen could withstand.

"Your Majesty, you must flee!" The old eunuch was anxious.

However, Emperor Kang Shunzhen remained on horseback, holding his head high and glaring angrily at the four witchers, showing no intention of running away.

"I am the supreme ruler of the Crimson Flame Kingdom, the Son of Heaven! How can I flee in panic before my officials? How will the people of the Crimson Flame Kingdom view me in the future?"

Kang Shunzhen's expression was firm, and he showed no fear of death.

"I am the Human Emperor! I can die, but I must never flee!"

Even Qiao Yu was somewhat surprised by such heroic spirit. This emperor was really staking his life on showing off.

Just as Qiao Yu was preparing to watch the show in peace, the system's notification sound suddenly rang.

[Warning: If key character Kang Shunzhen dies, player Qiao Yu will never be able to become the Crown Prince! Player, please take immediate action!]

"What the hell! There's such a thing?" Qiao Yu's eyes widened.

But he couldn't rush over to save the emperor now, and there was no one on the scene he could steal agility from.

"Lend me your spear!"

In desperation, Qiao Yu directly snatched the spear from the black-armored warrior beside him, then aimed at the horse beneath the emperor and threw it with all his might.

"Your horse is definitely dead, but whether you can live or not depends on fate..." Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

The lightning was extremely fast, but at this time, a black shadow was even faster!

Whoosh!

The spear thrown by Qiao Yu pierced through the emperor's horse, and the powerful force carried the emperor flying to the side.

"Cough cough!"

Kang Shunzhen crawled out of the bushes in a sorry state, with two weeds stuck in the dragon crown on his head.

Although Qiao Yu's spear didn't hit him, it really made him dizzy.

Boom!

The lightning struck heavily, turning the old eunuch into charcoal.

This lightning strike also awakened everyone present.

"Protect the Emperor! Catch the assassins!"

"Surround them, don't let these four damned witchers escape!"

The civil officials retreated one after another, while the martial generals drew their weapons and surrounded the four witchers. They knew very well that once they got close, the threat of the witchers would be greatly reduced.

"That dog emperor is not dead yet. We four will definitely not survive. For the sake of the Great Witch Kingdom, we will drag that dog emperor down with us even if we die!"

The four witchers revealed fierce expressions, and they rushed towards Kang Shunzhen's direction with an appearance of seeing death as a return home.

"Stop them!"

Several martial generals rushed forward with weapons. One of the witchers didn't dodge or evade, and met them head-on with his own body.

Puff puff puff!

Several weapons instantly pierced through his body, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Brothers, I'll take the first step!"

Boom!

A huge fireball soared into the sky, burning the witcher and the martial generals around him into ashes. The remaining three witchers continued to rush towards Kang Shunzhen.

"All black-armored warriors, look at me!"

Qiao Yu shouted loudly, and after the black-armored warriors turned their heads, the Swiftwind Boots activated instantly.

"Swift wind accompanies sighs,

Wind ceases, long hair, road endless;

Sword points to the horizon, escape route,

Heroic spirit soars, never lost."

Qiao Yu was like a nimble loach, constantly shuttling through the middle of the black-armored warriors, and soon arrived behind the three witchers.

Such unrestrained and graceful movements stunned everyone present.

"That one behind us is a prince, Lao Er, turn around and kill him! We'll go kill the dog emperor!"

"Understood!"

One of the witchers stopped and turned back to face Qiao Yu.

"Go to hell!" With a wave of his hands, ice arrows filled the sky and pierced towards Qiao Yu.

However, Qiao Yu had no intention of entangling with him at all. With his health and defense maxed out, Qiao Yu walked forward, enduring the ice arrows.

"I'll show you a good trick!"

When the distance was sufficient, Qiao Yu activated the Swiftwind Boots and instantly arrived behind the witcher. Then, he slashed back with his Moonblade Glaive, and the witcher's head flew up in a round arc.

[Detected that player Qiao Yu has resolved a normal NPC witch Zhao through melee combat, rewarding 21 free attribute points, experience +105 points]

The familiar notification sound rang, and Qiao Yu's eyebrows rose.

It seemed that the baleful aura value could only be stacked in supernatural dungeons like Ghost Mountain. At other times, killing with the Moonblade Glaive would still be converted into attribute points.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the remaining two witchers, Qiao Yu couldn't bother about earning attribute points anymore.

With the Sky Halberd in his left hand and the Golden Dragon Moonblade Glaive in his right, he exerted force from his waist and threw both weapons out at the same time.

The two weapons were like death warrants issued by the King of Hell, heading straight for the backs of the two witchers.

"Big brother, be careful!"

One of the witchers reacted extremely quickly. He pressed his hands on the ground, and a shield made of earth rose from the ground, blocking the Sky Halberd. However, the huge impact force on the Sky Halberd sent his entire body flying.

But the other witcher was not so lucky. The Golden Dragon Moonblade Glaive pierced through his heart with a whoosh, leaving a hole through his chest.

"You...dog emperor..." The witcher fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness. At this time, he was only a few steps away from Kang Shunzhen.

Just a few steps away, and he could have directly self-destructed and completed this assassination mission.

At this time, Kang Shunzhen's eyes widened, his face full of shock and uncertainty.

"Help! Protect me, come quickly, protect me!"

A cry of alarm came, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Only then did they realize that the direction the remaining wizard was knocked flying in was exactly the direction where the Empress and the Third Prince were.

"If I can't kill the emperor, I'll kill the empress and the prince!" The wizard got up and rushed towards the empress and the third prince.

"Fourth brother, save us!" The Third Prince was panicked, and the Empress's face turned pale with fright.

"Oh dear, no, I'm injured!" Qiao Yu covered his chest in an exaggerated manner and sat down on the ground, obviously not wanting to save them.

"Fourth Prince, I order you to take action quickly! You must not let the Fourth Prince and the Empress be killed by the witchers of the Great Witch Kingdom!" Seeing this, Kang Shunzhen directly issued an order to Qiao Yu.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu curled his lips: "Okay, my Emperor! I'll go save them now."

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Dragon Moonblade Glaive returned to his hand. He carried the knife and greeted the Third Prince and the Empress. The wizard was chasing after them relentlessly.

Seeing Qiao Yu approaching, a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the Third Prince and the Empress, visible to the naked eye.

It was the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry, it was third brother who was wrong, please save me, I will explain everything to father later!" said the Third Prince.

"Yes, yes, yes, my son, I shouldn't have slandered you, please save us!" The queen echoed.

Qiao Yu smiled kindly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you two die in the hands of a witcher."

The next second, the Moonblade Glaive flashed coldly.

Two heads flew into the sky, and the faces of the two heads still carried an unbelievable look.
