Chapter 255 Choice
With a flick of his sleeve, Grand Scholar Su killed all the assassins led by Jing Ke. With a stomp of his foot, he charged toward one of the scholars, his killing intent sharp and fierce.
He had already reached the rank of Grand Scholar, and could kill with his poetry instead of summoning talent with ink and brush.
In the blink of an eye, Grand Scholar Su arrived beside the scholar and struck him with his palm.
boom!
A piercing scream echoed through the air as the scholar was brutally smashed to pieces.
"Those who collude with the enemy and betray their country deserve to have their entire family executed."
Scholar Su snorted coldly and dashed off in another direction.
Upon seeing this, Ye Ru frowned, wrote a poem of swift movement, and transformed into a blur, rushing towards the depths of the demon palace.
However, as it disappeared into the depths, a middle-aged man wearing a mask suddenly burst forth from afar.
"The Gate of Death?"
Ye Ru's pupils contracted as he looked at the outfit. He bent over to dodge the dagger attack, then channeled his talent into the Three Perfections Writing Brush, its sharp tip thrusting fiercely towards the neck.
boom!
The pen tip and the dagger touched, and in an instant, a powerful surge of talent erupted outwards.
This burst of talent and energy caused Ye Ru to stumble back several steps before regaining his balance.
The masked man's expression was unreadable, but his pupils contracted, clearly indicating that he too was shocked by Ye Ru's powerful talent.
"This must be Ye Tongsheng. A wise man should know when to retire gracefully, but you know you've fallen into a trap, yet you still come here. Are you truly foolish or just pretending?"
The masked man raised his head and said calmly.
"Your Excellency is from the Life-Taking Sect, which was founded by Jing Ke. The sect's motto is 'A scholar will die for one who understands him.' However, Your Excellency has abandoned the sect's consistent style and instead seeks to kill for money. Furthermore, you have been misled by the demon race and have plotted against our human race. You are truly a disgrace to the Life-Taking Sect."
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness in his voice.
"Heh, a scholar dies for one who understands him? Back then, Jing Ke revealed his dagger to the First Emperor, but ultimately met his demise, causing the entire territory of Yan to fall, and leading to the execution of the Yan royal family and Jing Ke's entire clan. What did they do for that? It would have been better to live for wealth and enjoy a carefree life. In any case, your sweet words are of no use to us. This place is your death trap!"
The masked man sneered, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Although the other party could contend with him, he did not believe that the young man in front of him could really kill him.
"I have not come here today to fight you, but to rescue people. Tell me quickly, where are Nursery Rhyme and Little White?"
Ye Ru said coldly.
"They are behind this gate. If you can defeat me, you can take them with you. But if you can't, you can go to the underworld to join them."
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and shot towards Ye Ru. However, just as he moved, another black shadow darted out from behind him.
“Chief Ye, Grand Secretary Su and Elder Bian have been brought under control outside. I will take care of this person; you may go in first.”
Zhan Lunhui turned his head and shouted.
"it is good."
Ye Ru nodded, glanced at the Soul-Reaping Sect member, tapped his toes, activated his Swift Movement Poem, and hurriedly headed towards the back of the gate. The masked man was also extremely angry, looking at Zhan Lunhui, but did not stop Ye Ru.
Because he knew that this Lord Zhan was not an unknown figure.
"You scholars and pedants, stop that guy!"
With a sharp shout, the two engaged in battle.
When the great battle broke out here, Ye Ru rushed into the demon palace like a bolt of lightning. Some scholars and ghostly students tried to stop him, but they were all repelled.
"The Emperor's Sword".
"Nie Zhengjian".
Ye Ru clenched his right hand, and a golden longsword, carrying a vast holy power, appeared in his hand, while an ancient longsword appeared in his right hand.
As soon as the two swords appeared, Ye Ru looked at the gate and blasted it directly at it.
boom!
The gate shattered, and Ye Ru entered.
It was pitch black, with only a few dozen candles flickering. In the center, there were two high platforms, and in cages on the platforms, a woman and a rabbit were held respectively.
"Nursery rhyme, Little White!"
Upon seeing the man's face, Ye Ru's pupils contracted, and then he shouted loudly.
"Young Master Ye Ru!"
"Ye Ru!"
When Xiaobai and Su Tongyao woke up and saw Ye Ru there, they called out.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, and this eerie scene made Ye Ru extremely vigilant.
After all, the other party went to great lengths to set up this trap, simply to kill him and eliminate any future trouble.
"I didn't expect that those people outside couldn't stop you. What surprised me even more was that you were able to get Grand Scholar Su to come."
As Ye Ru cautiously looked around, a mysterious figure dressed in black robes appeared, and a slightly mocking voice slowly echoed.
"You're the one who took the hostage in this incident, aren't you?"
Ye Ru raised his head and looked at the black-robed man on the high platform. A cold killing intent also emanated from all around him.
"Yes, that is me. I wonder what Chief Scholar Ye thinks of this scene?"
The man in black robes spoke in a sinister tone, and then added:
"Chief Ye is exceptionally intelligent and has made unparalleled contributions to the Yanhuang Kingdom, saving countless lives. How about we play a game today?"
"What game? I'm warning you, if you try to hurt Nursery Rhymes and Little White, I'll make you pay a hundredfold!"
Ye Ru's voice gradually turned cold, and he threatened.
"I wouldn't dare. This person and this beast are the most important people to you, aren't they? You save people from dire straits, but I wonder if you can save these two as well?"
"what!"
The man in black robes walked to a spot and pressed a button. Suddenly, the platform began to peel away, as if by a mechanism. Accompanied by Su Tongyao's scream, a scorching aura suddenly spread outwards.
"you dare!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Ru's pupils shrank instantly, and his face turned extremely gloomy. The long sword in his hand disappeared, replaced by the Three Perfections Literary Brush.
Because below the high platform in front of him was a sea of fire. If Su Tongyao and Xiaobai fell down, they would be completely destroyed!
Although he knew about Xiaobai's mysterious nature, it now seemed that the other party was completely powerless to resist.
"Whether I dare or not is not up to you. It's a choice between two options, let's begin now."
The man in black robes laughed and suddenly pressed a button, causing the cage on the high platform to slowly descend.
This made Ye Ru's face even uglier. The other party was obviously trying to use this incident to tarnish his reputation!
Because after this incident, no matter what, my courage will suffer an indelible and permanent wound!
