Chapter 69: Internal strife among eunuchs, the old Buddha appears
After getting rid of Oboi, Ding Hai and Bu Neng stood side by side, wanting to join forces to fight a decisive battle with the old eunuch.
Looking at the murderous faces of the two men, the old eunuch wanted to say: Two young men, you just want to kill a woman, please come in, how about you pretend you haven't seen me today?
Having been the ancestor for so many years, the old eunuch had long been corrupted by wealth and glory.
When the game is going well, he doesn't mind going out to stretch his muscles to show his presence and prove that he is not eating the royal food in vain.
But the current unfavorable situation, which may endanger his life, requires careful consideration.
Without sufficient benefits, he doesn't want to fight with others for his life for no reason.
Although these two "young heroes" in front of him may not look impressive, their actual battle record is already that they have defeated a demon king-level black dragon and a puppet at the level of a human martial saint.
If you are not careful, you might really end up capsizing and dying here.
With a thought in mind, the old eunuch prepared to find a similar excuse to temporarily avoid the attention of the two people in front of him.
However, before he could put the idea into action, a piercing pain rose from his chest, and instantly made him kneel on the ground, unable to move.
"Who, who is plotting against our family?" Enduring the pain in his chest, the old eunuch looked at Ding Hai and Wu Fa fiercely.
Do these two brats have any other tricks they haven't used yet?
Ding Hai and Wu Fa were both confused when they looked at the old eunuch. What was going on?
Looking at the two people with confused faces, the old eunuch felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. His eyes wandered back and forth between Ding Hai and Wu Fa, trying to find the answer.
However, Ding Hai and the others were really unaware of his current situation.
As time passed, the old eunuch felt a strange force moving in his body, like a cold poisonous snake, silently corroding his heart and gnawing at his soul.
His face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead: "Oh no, it's the poison!"
The old eunuch's heart trembled. He finally realized that he had been attacked by some force. He raised his head and looked around: "An Dehai, get out of here."
Upon hearing the three words "An Dehai", Ding Hai outside the Meridian Gate was stunned and the old eunuch went crazy.
Why are you shouting at a eunuch who has been beheaded for decades for no apparent reason?
The old eunuch used his spiritual power to drive the flying needles and poked all the places near the Meridian Gate where people could hide, but he never found the person he was looking for, An Dehai.
Slowly, he found that the scenery around him began to become blurred, as if shrouded by a layer of light mist.
It was not that there was fog around him, but that his vision and spiritual perception were deprived. When the old eunuch noticed this, a strong sense of fear surged in his heart.
He could feel that his vitality was being slowly devoured and stripped away by the poison coursing through his body.
"An Dehai, I am your godfather. You disregarded the relationship between father and son and plotted against me with the poison. You will not die a good death." The old eunuch roared angrily around him, but his voice sounded unusually weak.
Ding Hai and Bu Neng looked at each other, and both saw in each other's eyes the intention to stop for the time being.
It would be a shame not to eat such a big melon. Pah, it seems that even without the two of them doing anything, the Qing court has started to fight among itself.
A sharp laugh suddenly rang out, as if coming from all directions, yet as if it only rang in everyone's ears.
"Hahaha, godfather, now you remember that I am your godson.
When I was plotted against by the officials of the previous dynasty and my head was chopped off with a knife, why didn’t you, as a father, come to save your son?
Bah, you old beast, I never thought you would end up like this." The sharp laughter was full of mockery and ridicule.
After hearing someone respond to the old eunuch, Ding Hai and Wu Fa looked around to try to find the whereabouts of the person suspected to be Andehai, but they found nothing.
Ding Hai and Wu Fa were obviously tricked by someone, so they were still wary of Ande Hai who was hiding in the dark.
Unfortunately, Andehai does have something.
The old eunuch's face was pale. The Qianji poison was said to be a poison, but in fact it was a combination of a curse and a poison.
Once it breaks out, it will instantly begin to multiply infinitely from within the human body, madly devouring all the energy inside the human body, including essence, qi, spirit, and even the poison.
There is no other antidote for this thing except the antidote specially prepared by the person who prepared it.
Of course, the old eunuch, Yangshen Zhenjun, is no pushover either.
If he really has to be cruel enough to give up the part of his essence, energy, and spirit that has been eroded by the Qianji poison, the Qianji poison will not take his life, at most it will only seriously damage his vitality.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and the old eunuch quickly separated his essence, energy, and spirit. After a few breaths, a skeleton with some flesh and blood broke out of his old body.
After the old eunuch, who had abandoned most of his essence, energy, and spirit, broke out of his shell, he quickly mobilized his remaining magic power to generate flesh and blood, while moving the flying needles in front of him, cautiously looking at Ding Hai and the other man outside the Meridian Gate.
If he didn't want to fight Ding Hai and the others earlier, it was because fighting them might endanger his life.
Now, the old eunuch dared to be sure that the two little bastards in front of him really had the ability to send him to see the King of Hell.
"You two, this huge Forbidden City belongs to you tonight. You can kill whomever you want and take whatever you want.
After tonight, we will never embarrass you two for what happened tonight. We only ask you two to give us some convenience now." The old eunuch, who was seriously injured, lost the initiative.
Ding Hai and the other man looked at each other again, and both saw the intention of wiping out the old eunuch completely in each other's eyes. They didn't dare to think so before because they might not be able to kill the old eunuch even if they tried their best.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of us. If we don’t know how to eliminate the trouble once and for all at this time, we would be foolish and naive.
Of course, Ding Hai and the other guy are not ready to take action now.
The old eunuch, this old dog, has found a way to solve his own troubles. I believe that An Dehai, who is hiding behind the scenes, can no longer sit still.
Huang Que and the others can't become hunters, but it's okay for them to step aside and see if they can become hunters.
So, Ding Hai and the other man retreated slowly at the same time, taking the child emperor around the old eunuch and rushing towards the West Six Palaces again.
On the surface, the two of them agreed to the old eunuch's deal, but secretly, Ding Hai and the other man had been using their own methods to keep a close eye on the Meridian Gate.
On the city gate tower, the old eunuch, whose flesh had been mostly restored, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the backs of Ding Hai and the other man.
Finally I fooled these two evil spirits away. I can't stay in the Forbidden City anymore. I have to find a place to recover from my injuries first.
How could the experienced old eunuch not see what Ding Hai and the others were thinking? They just wanted to reap the benefits.
Stupid, except for you two freaks, no one else in the world has the ability to cross the border and defeat Yang Shen.
Without the two of you passively acting as thugs for that beast Andehai, Andehai would not be able to stop us.
The old eunuch's spiritual consciousness turned, and he urged the light transformed from the flying needle to wrap himself and shoot out of the capital.
A good man will not suffer a loss in front of him, let alone he is a eunuch.
But just as the old eunuch rushed out of the Meridian Gate Tower, a ghost holding a head stopped him with a smile: "Godfather, you are the ancestor of those of us who have lost our lives. What will happen if you leave the Forbidden City?"
Looking at the ghost holding the head in his hands, a trace of doubt flashed across the old eunuch's face.
How dare he? An Dehai's aura at this time was indeed not bad, but he was just a ghost general.
It is difficult for a Yin spirit to become a saint after countless calamities. A sneaky person like him cannot even defeat an ordinary Yin God of the same level, so how could he have the courage to stop a Yang God like himself.
You really don't treat bean buns as dry food.
The old eunuch, feeling that he was being looked down upon, had a fierce look in his eyes. You want to die, so I'll help you. This is a good opportunity to avenge my serious injury.
With a turn of magic power, the flying needles carried by him rushed out and exploded An Dehai's ghost body like poking a balloon.
However, after the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Andehai's ghost shadow condensed into shape again. He looked at the old eunuch with a smile, as if the previous attack was just a tickle.
"Godfather, you are really old. Do you think you can kill me with such a small trick?" An Dehai's voice was somewhat teasing.
The old eunuch's heart trembled, he realized that he had underestimated An Dehai.
Although the aura of Andehai in front of him was only at the level of a ghost general, his weirdness and difficulty were far beyond his previous understanding.
He took a deep breath, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he made up his mind. He must go all out, otherwise today would be difficult to resolve.
"Good son, since you are seeking death, our family will grant your wish!" The old eunuch snorted coldly, his magical power surged, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
His figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Andehai. A dry hand stretched out and took the head that Andehai was holding in his palm.
An Dehai did not dodge, but just looked at the old eunuch with a smile.
Just as the old eunuch's palm was about to touch his head, his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared on the spot.
The old eunuch's attack missed, and he was startled and immediately looked around vigilantly.
However, just when he was distracted, a cold ghost claw suddenly attacked from behind.
The old eunuch reacted very quickly and dodged the ghost claw by turning his body to the side.
He looked back and saw that An Dehai, who had disappeared just now, had put the head back on his neck and was waving his pair of ghost claws, looking at him eagerly.
"Godfather, you are really old. You can't even escape my claws." An Dehai said with a smile.
The old eunuch's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that An Dehai would have such means.
To be honest, he really didn't see how An Dehai disappeared from his sight just now.
After taking another deep breath, the old eunuch's flesh and blood body had almost recovered, and the magic power in his body began to surge wildly like a surging river or sea.
In an instant, his figure became blurred as if blending into the surrounding air.
The flying needles that were originally floating around him turned into starlight and merged into his body.
Man and sword become one, bah, it’s man and needle become one.
Outside the West Six Palaces, Ding Hai, who had been paying attention to the situation at the Meridian Gate, couldn't help but feel scared after seeing this scene.
Their sect has recorded in great detail how powerful the sword immortal's body and sword are when they merge together.
To sum it up in one sentence, it's easy to be invincible at the same level, and killing enemies across levels is a piece of cake.
The two of them have practiced hard for many years and honed themselves to perfection to possess this fighting power. As long as a sword cultivator can achieve the unity of man and sword, they will be able to defeat them easily.
"It's a good thing I didn't stay at the Meridian Gate and fight the old eunuch." Ding Kai felt a little scared. Although the old eunuch's integration of man and needle was far inferior to the sword cultivator's integration of man and sword, it was not something he could stop at the moment.
Wu Wu also broke out in a sweat: "Who would have thought that a eunuch could have the orthodox sword immortal inheritance.
We Long, ahem, we haven’t been able to find the sword immortal inheritance in the great sect’s Sutra Pavilion for thousands of years.”
The two of them couldn't help but feel scared. If the old eunuch had shown this ability right from the start, combined with Aobai, the martial saint of the world, they would most likely have died here.
After the man and the needle became one, the old eunuch's speed increased by several levels.
A white light flashed, and he appeared behind Andehai even more sneaky than Andehai. His dry palm suddenly stretched out and hit Andehai's back.
A sharp breath tore the space apart, making it slightly unstable.
However, just as he was about to touch Andehai, Andehai's figure became blurred again and escaped from his attack.
The old eunuch was suddenly shocked. What was going on? He clearly had the fastest speed in the world, so why was it so difficult for him to succeed in his attacks?
"Godfather, I have served you for so many years, how could I not be on guard against you, the only eunuch swordsman in the world.
If you don't have any other ideas, I will not be polite to you." An Dehai said jokingly to the old eunuch.
The old eunuch's face turned pale. He knew that he was looked down upon by the bastard in front of him, but at this moment he was really at his wit's end.
The combination of man and needle is already the biggest trump card in his hand!
Seeing that An Dehai could really withstand the old eunuch's combined human and needle attack, Ding Haihe in front of the West Six Palaces was unable to regain some of his attention.
The old eunuch was entangled, so the correct thing to do was to take this opportunity to kill the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The two of them rushed into the Six Western Palaces together and used various methods to search for the Empress Dowager Cixi.
A moment later, Ding Hai and Wu Bu looked cautiously towards Chuxiu Palace where half of the palace wall had collapsed.
Shouldn't it?
Although Chuxiu Palace was the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom, someone had just died there.
If the Empress Dowager Cixi had been a little more prudent, she would not have stayed in Chuxiu Palace at this moment, even if the person who was afraid of dying was her own sister.
"I've already taken ninety-nine steps. I can't afford to lose just one more step." Although he guessed that something strange had happened in Chuxiu Palace, he still decided to go in and take a look.
Ding Hai did not say anything. He just activated all the innate Qi that had been mostly recovered in his body, pinched the mountain seal with his hands, and pushed his condition to the current peak in case of emergency.
After making preparations, the two strode into the ruined Chuxiu Palace and headed towards the main hall of Chuxiu Palace.
A few breaths later, outside the Chuxiu Palace, Ding Hai and Bu Fa Neng looked at the wide-open palace door and raised their vigilance to the highest level.
"My two heroes, I mean no harm. Please come in and have a chat." Just as Ding Hai and the other man were considering whether to take the initiative and throw a few balls of lightning into the hall, a deliberately dull voice sounded in the hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Ding Hai and Wu Fa were both startled when they saw the gray-robed old man suddenly appearing in the center of the hall.
Because neither he nor Wufa noticed how the old man in gray robe appeared.
This situation was almost identical to what happened just now when the old eunuch couldn't catch sight of An Dehai's figure.
He is the man behind Andehai!
Seeing Ding Hai and the other man who were about to attack him, the man in gray robe smiled and pointed at the imperial concubine couch at the top of the hall: "The Empress Dowager Cixi, whom you two want to kill, is right there. I have no intention of stopping you from killing her."
I have something to do today, so I will only post one chapter. It's still in 4K. I don't have the nerve to ask for votes, so I'll just leave for now.
