Chapter 433: Whose Blade

The Yongchang Marquis stood there, dazed.

He stood at the wide-open city gate, right on the boundary between light and shadow.

The firelight cast an unflinchingly clear glow upon the corpses scattered before him, their warm blood still flowing. These were the men he had spent ten years cultivating with countless gold, silver, and elixirs—his final trump card.

But now...

All gone?

The Yongchang Marquis's body began to tremble uncontrollably. It wasn't from the cold, but from a soul-deep, unquenchable terror.

One move...

It hadn't even been a full move.

Just a raised finger, a wave of the hand.

That person had crushed all his hopes, all his reliance, like ants beneath a heel!"Surround... surround him!"

Inside the gate, the Imperial Guard commander finally snapped out of his overwhelming shock. Staring at the Yongchang Marquis standing alone amidst the corpses, his voice quivered with excitement as he waved his hand sharply.

"Rustle—"

Countless armored Imperial Guards surged forward like a tidal wave. This time, countless spears and broadswords were aimed from every direction at the military commander they had once feared like a tiger.

This time, no one could protect him.

"AHHH—!!!"

The Yongchang Marquis whirled around. He didn't look at the guards encircling him; instead, he let out a hysterical, desperate, venom-laced roar toward the direction where the green-robed figure had vanished.

"Who are you! Who the hell are you?!"

"Why did you ruin my plans! WHY?!"

The only response was the night wind howling like a ghost's lament.

That figure had disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues behind, as if he were a grim reaper from hell who had come solely to harvest his hope.
