C307 Qin Hao Attacked
C307 Qin Hao Attacked
The person who had tried to assassinate him just now was sent by Qin Hao. Now that Lu Feng had killed him, did that mean that Lu Feng wasn't on Qin Hao's side?
Lu Feng was very strong, and with his identity as Prince Consort, if Qin Tianzhu couldn't wake up, his support would be incomparably important.
While Qin Ming was standing in the same spot and thinking, Qin Hao was waiting for the news of the night.
However, more than two hours had passed, and the night still hadn't come back to report. This didn't seem like the style of the night.
"Could it be..."
Qin Hao paced back and forth. An ominous feeling was ignited in his heart. However, with the strength of the dark night, there shouldn't be many people in the entire Great Qin Dynasty who could be his match.
Letting him kill Qin Ming was already a waste of talent, so Qin Hao was still willing to believe that Qin Ming had something to delay.
Just like that, the night passed in the blink of an eye. Because of the night's absence, Qin Hao couldn't sleep for a whole night.
"Something happened!"
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Qin Hao's face in the morning, his eyes looked extremely gloomy.
If he had still had a glimmer of hope before, now he no longer had any hope for the night.
Because if the assassination was successful, he would have long returned to report to Qin Hao. But after an entire night had passed, Qin Hao had reason to believe that the assassination had failed, and that he was already in dire straits.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao's eyes narrowed. Given the current situation, he was afraid that he had no choice but to take the last step.
Although Qin Hao had been in contact with the Devil Flame Empire for a long time, it would naturally be best if he could rely on his own ability to succeed the throne. This way, he wouldn't need to owe the Devil Flame Empire a favor.
As the saying goes, a favor is always owed, but it would be very difficult to pay it back.
However, there was no other way now. If the assassination failed, he might even be exposed. Therefore, if he wanted to secure the throne, he would have to rely on the support of the Devil Flame Empire.
Qin Hao gently grabbed with his right hand when he thought of this. Immediately, a Communication Stone appeared in his hand.
"Swoosh!"
When the Communication Stone in his hand turned into a ray of light and disappeared, the corner of Qin Hao's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Finally, I can't hold it anymore!"
When the Communication Stone in Qin Hao's hand flew away, Lu Feng, who was hiding in the dark and observing, softly said. He immediately used the token to send a message to Peng Ke.
Lu Feng's message was very simple. It only had one word: Kill!
Although Qin Hao's Communication Stone was sent out first, the communication speed between the tokens was a little faster. Hence, both of them reached their destination almost at the same time.
"Zhou Fei, Lu Feng has sent a message. Kill!" When Peng Ke read the message in the token, her expression changed.
“ Yes!"
Zhou Fei lightly nodded. During this period of time, they had already figured out the overall strength of the other party.
There were Core Condensation Stage Period experts, but the highest cultivation base was only at the Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage. Although there were two of them, one of them seemed to have just broken through.
Besides these two Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage experts, there was also one Early Period of Core Condensation Stage expert. In other words, these three were the only ones who could pose a threat to them.
However, their mission was to cause trouble and kill people. Therefore, they naturally wouldn't confront these three men directly.
Just like that, after the two of them discussed for a while, two figures suddenly flew out from the darkness in the next second.
At this moment, the people of the Devil Flame Empire started to organize their troops because they had received the news.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
However, at this time, two loud shouts echoed out. Then, two powerful attacks rushed towards them.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The entire Devil Flame Empire was thrown into chaos when they saw these two powerful attacks.
"Boom! Boom!"
When the two powerful attacks exploded, several people were directly injured by the explosion.
Seeing that someone had been injured... The entire crowd became even more chaotic.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Seeing the panicked crowd, a loud shout was heard, followed by a powerful aura enveloping the crowd.
After sensing this aura, the panicked crowd gradually calmed down.
"Swish!"
However, right at this moment, a figure rushed into the crowd with lightning speed. Then, sword lights appeared one after another, and everyone fell to the ground.
"How dare you!"
When the two Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage saw this scene, their fury soared to the sky, and they rushed into the crowd at the same time.
Peng Ke smiled knowingly when she saw these two Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage rushing towards her. Immediately, she activated the Ethereal Power in her body, and then her speed increased by a few points.
Under the advantage of speed, Peng Ke continuously killed people in the crowd. Because Peng Ke was moving through the crowd, the two Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage experts who were chasing after her had no way to stop her.
"Ah!"
However, when the two Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage warriors looked anxious, another scream came from the other side.
When they turned around to take a look, another man rushed into the crowd and started killing.
"Hao Tian, stop him!"
Seeing this scene, one of the Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage warriors shouted.
"Yes!"
The Early Period of Core Condensation Stage warrior called Hao Tian shouted. After that, a powerful Qi burst out from his body, and he rushed towards Zhou Fei.
However, it was obvious that Zhou Fei had no intention of fighting Hao Tian. He used all of his strength to move through the crowd.
While he was shuttling through the crowd, the sword in Zhou Fei's hand was not idle. His strength was much lower than Peng Ke's. Therefore, he could not kill a Spirit Gathering Stage warrior with a single sword strike.
But even so, it had already caused panic among the people. The originally good team was instantly routed.
"Retreat!"
Roughly two minutes later, Peng Ke's voice rang out. When he heard this voice, Zhou Fei also instantly left the crowd.
Since Peng Ke and Zhou Fei insisted on leaving, the three of them could not stop them at all.
"Damn it!"
Watching the two of them leave, the three Core Condensation Stage Period experts of the Devil Flame Empire became flustered and exasperated.
Especially when they saw the originally perfectly fine team die and get injured, it made them even more furious.
...
"Done!"
When Lu Feng received Peng Ke's message, a smile appeared on his face. Now that the Devil Flame Empire had been routed, it was obvious that they were no longer able to provide any assistance to Qin Hao.
The cooperation between the two parties was originally very weak. Now that such an unforeseen event had occurred, it was obvious that the other party would not tell Qin Hao about the miserable state they were in right now.
Therefore, Qin Hao should still be in the dark. He thought that the troops of the Devil Flame Empire had already approached them.
"It's time to withdraw the net!"
Lu Feng said softly. At this time, he saw Qin Hao quickly leave his residence.
Looking at Qin Hao's back as he left, Lu Feng muttered a few words, then quietly followed behind him.
After following him for a few minutes, Lu Feng saw Qin Hao walking towards Qin Tianzhu's bedroom. Seeing this scene, he knew that Qin Hao couldn't help but attack.
Qin Hao knew very well that only if Qin Tianzhu didn't wake up could he successfully inherit the throne based on his prestige in the court. So he had to make the first move and destroy any hope for him.
"Fifth Prince, Shi My Lord told me that His Majesty is seriously ill now. No one is allowed to go in and visit him!" When Qin Hao came to the outside of Qin Tianzhu's chambers, two guards immediately stopped him.
"I came to see Father. What's wrong? You're welcome?" Being stopped by two guards, Qin Hao's face darkened.
"I'm sorry, Shi My Lord has an order, we dare not disobey!" The two guards were in a dilemma.
On one side was Shi Fu, and on the other side was Qin Hao. They were just servants, and no matter who they offended, they would not end up well.
"You guys are afraid of offending Shi Fu, aren't you afraid of offending me? Get out of my way!" Qin Hao said in a deep voice.
"This..."
Seeing Qin Hao's serious expression, the two guards were at a loss.
But when they thought about how it was normal for their son to visit their father, the two guards did not stop him.
“ Hmph!"
Qin Hao snorted lightly when he saw the two guards move aside. Then, he pushed open the door and walked in.
When Qin Hao closed the door, he found that there was no one in the bedchamber except for Father, who was lying quietly on the bed.
Qin Hao looked at the weak Father and slowly walked to the bedside.
"Father, don't blame me for being ruthless. You will suffer if you live like this. Why don't I send you on your way?" Qin Hao said softly and slowly raised his right hand.
After condensing the Spiritual Energy, Qin Hao immediately aimed his palm at Qin Tianzhu's chest without hesitation.
"Bang!"
However, when the sound of flesh beating rang out, Qin Hao's entire body was violently sent flying from the side of the bed.
"Puff!"
When Qin Hao fell heavily on the ground, he turned his body sideways and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Then, he looked at Qin Tianzhu, who was sitting on the bed, with a trace of fear on his face.
"Father, you..."
Qin Hao had never thought that Father, who was on the verge of death, would suddenly send him flying like a god.
"Don't call me Father. I don't have a son like you who kills his father!" Qin Tianzhu said in a deep voice.
In fact, before Qin Hao attacked, he had been hoping that this unfilial son could turn back. However, when Qin Hao mercilessly struck his chest with his palm, his last hope was shattered.
"Alright, I am the unfilial son, but Father, who did this to me? It's you. If you had chosen me as your heir earlier... Then there's nothing for today!" Qin Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he slowly got up from the ground.
"Father, I have already contacted the Devil Flame Empire. They have also sent someone over. If you hand over the throne today, there will be nothing wrong with it. Otherwise..." Qin Hao threatened.
At this point, he could only take the risk because there was no turning back now that things had come to this.
"What else can we do?"
But before Qin Hao could finish his words, a voice came from outside the room, and then the door was pushed open.
