Chapter 679

Lian Ge frowned in dissatisfaction and whispered: "Brother Xiang, we have to capture him alive! We have to know who sent these assassins!"

Xiang Hui patted his head in sudden realization, nodded heavily, and responded: "Brother Lian is right!"

When the two of them were talking in a low voice, Jiaxi, who was trapped in the crowd, suddenly laughed wildly, raised the spiritual knife in his hand, and said proudly: "Stop discussing! It's impossible to capture me. If you want to kill me, you Let’s go together!”

"What an arrogant thief!"

He shouted back, threw off his long legs, rushed to Jiaxi, raised his hand and punched her.

Although he didn't use a knife, with his cultivation in the spiritual realm, his huge fist was no less than a spiritual hammer. If he was really hit by his punch, he would lose his skin even if he didn't die.

Jiaxi's words sounded arrogant, but he didn't want to fight with him. Even if he died, he still had to drag the enemy away from Jiang Fan's escape direction. He directly used Shadow Drift to dodge the fist that was thrown back. At the same time, he also dodged into the crowd of Mo Jun. He swung his spiritual sword continuously and killed several people in an instant. Then, he used Shadow Drift to dodge outside the encirclement and move to the other side. Escape into the dense forest.

"Damn it!" Xiang Hui yelled in anger. What he liked most was a head-on confrontation, but Jiaxi didn't give him a chance and ran away again before they could fight.

Before he could curse, Lian Ge's body had already rushed out. Jiaxi was fast, but Liange was even faster. He didn't take more than two steps before Liange chased him behind him and smashed down Huashan with the ice soul-crushing spear.

not good! Jiaxi realized that the opponent's attack was coming, and he wanted to dodge it with Shadow Drift, but Lian Ge's spiritual pressure trapped him first.

The sudden and powerful spiritual pressure made Jiaxi almost out of breath, and he was unable to use Shadow Drift. His survival instinct stimulated him to use all his strength and turn his body as far as possible.

Buzz!

He turned sideways just in time to get out of the way of the heavy blow from the spirit gun. The gun body was almost close to the tip of his nose and hit the ground hard. A click was heard in the ear wheel. The ground was violently smashed by the spirit gun and a gap was created. The soil was splashed and grass clippings were scattered. The sky is full.

Cold sweat dripped down Jiaxi's cheeks. How can we fight this battle? I am not on the same level as others at all! Under Lian Ge's spiritual pressure, he couldn't use Shadow Drift, and it was difficult to even move. Shouldn't he just surrender?

Lian Ge didn't give him any time to think about it, so he shot the gun without hitting it hard, and then swept the spirit gun out again, slashing towards Jiaxi's waist. The latter had no choice but to lower his body and dodge. However, under the pressure of spiritual pressure, his movements were much slower. When dodging, he was half a beat too slow and was grazed above his head by the sweeping spiritual spear.

Snapped!

The spiritual armor on Jiaxi's head shattered in response, and blood slowly flowed down the roots of his hair.

He staggered back two steps, finally stabilized his body, looked up at Lian Ge opposite, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

"I told you that you can't fly today, so stop resisting in vain and surrender!" Lian Ge took a step forward and met Jiaxi's eyes coldly.

"Haha——" Jiaxi suddenly threw his head back and laughed. After a while, he stopped laughing and said: "Lian Ge is indeed well-deserved. I understand, but if you want to capture me alive, it is impossible! "

"You can't run away..."

"I didn't want to run away!" As he spoke, Jiaxi rolled out the pills under his tongue, chewed hard while talking, crushed the pills, and swallowed them with saliva. He took another two steps back, looked directly at Lian Ge, and said with a sinister smile: "Although I can't defeat you, I am the one who wins. Shao Ting and Shao Fang are both dead, and you will never know who did it for the rest of your life. Yes, haha——"

In fact, Lian Ge didn't take the time to check whether Shao Ting and Shao Fang were dead. Hearing Jiaxi's words, his body shook violently, and the palm holding the spirit gun made a crunching sound.

He took another step forward and asked in a solemn voice: "Who are you instructing? Tell me!"

"Haha! Stop dreaming, I won't tell you anything..." As he spoke, Jiaxi couldn't help but frown. At this time, his stomach seemed to be on fire, and the burning pain was unbearable. , he gritted his teeth and forced himself not to fall. He leaned against the tree next to him and gasped: "If you want to know who ordered me, just go and find out for yourself!"

"Hmph! Do you think I can't open your mouth if you don't open your mouth..." Halfway through the words, Lian Ge suddenly noticed that Jiaxi was abnormal. At this time, the latter's face had turned from white to black, and his face was purple and green. It was obvious that is a sign of poisoning.

Oops! The assassin is going to commit suicide by taking poison! Lian Ge's head buzzed, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Jiaxi's cheeks, pinched his fingers slightly, opened Jiaxi's mouth, and looked into his mouth, only to see that Jiaxi's tongue had completely turned black. .

Oops - now Lian Ge was in a panic. Now there was only one assassin left alive. If he was also dead, it would really become an unsolved case. He glared at Jiaxi who was slowly sliding to the ground leaning against the tree, and roared: "You dare to kill yourself by taking poison for me?"

Jiaxi's consciousness gradually began to blur. He smiled intermittently, and black blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he really could not return to the king this time, but he finally fulfilled his mission. ...This was the last bit of consciousness in Jiaxi's mind, and his pupils had dilated...

"Come here! Call the medical officer! Call the medical officer here quickly -" Lian Ge turned around and shouted like crazy. However, the poison Jiaxi took was too toxic. In just ten seconds, the person died. No more.

When Xiang Hui arrived with the Mo army, Jia Xi's hands and feet were already cold, his body was stiff, and he had no breath. The military medical officers came forward, first to feel his breathing, then to feel the veins at the base of his neck, and finally shook their heads at Lian Ge and Xiang Hui, whispering: "Two generals, the assassin is dead!"

"Dead?" Xiang Hui stamped his feet fiercely, how could you let the assassin die? He wanted to question Lian Ge, but the latter's face was terribly gloomy, and he swallowed the words back.

He had no way to vent his anger, and raised the spirit knife in his hand to chop at Jia Xi's body.

At this time, Lian Ge suddenly grabbed him and asked: "Brother Wen, what are you doing?"

"The thief is hateful, even if he dies, I can't leave him a complete body!" Wen Hui roared angrily.

Lian Ge sighed faintly and said: "The assassin is hateful, but..." But there are also admirable things. But Lian Ge couldn't say it out loud, so he waved his hand and said, "Since he's dead, bury him!"

"But..." Xiang Hui wanted to say something else, but Lian Ge asked, "How is the king now? Is he injured?"

When Xiang Hui mentioned the king, his eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists and said with a big mouth, "The king was shot by an assassin hiding underground, and he has already...already..."

Seeing him like this, Lian Ge hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "What has happened?"

"The king has passed away..." After saying this, Xiang Hui lowered his head and lost his voice in pain.

"What?" Lian Ge seemed to have been hit by a hammer, and his body swayed and took two steps back. He stood there in shock and fright, and couldn't recover for a long time.

The monarch of Mo State, Shao Ting, and the second prince of Mo State, Shao Fang, were assassinated while hunting, one died and the other was seriously injured, causing an uproar in Mo State and abroad.

The assassination of a king was rare at the time. The country of Mo was in a state of grief and indignation. Although other countries were just watching the fun, they were also secretly guessing who wanted to kill Shao Ting and Shao Fang.

Since all the assassins were dead and had no items on them, there was no way to find out the specific identity of the assassins. This assassination became a complete mystery, but people's speculations all pointed to one person, Shao Bo.

Originally, Shao Bo was Shao Ting's favorite son, but later it was Shao Fang who was favored, and Shao Bo was gradually neglected. Naturally, he would have resentment in his heart, so Shao Bo had a motive.

The assassin's assassination was extremely well prepared. Not only did he set up a thorough ambush on the way, he even dug a big pit underground and hid in it. It was obviously premeditated and knew the news and route of Shao Ting's hunting in advance. Shao Bo was one of the people who knew the news in advance.

The most crucial point is that when the assassins were trying to kill Shao Fang, Shao Bo was right beside him. However, none of the assassins tried to kill Shao Bo, and all of them were desperately attacking Shao Fang. This is the most suspicious.

But these evidences alone are not enough to convict Shao Bo. After all, he is also the third prince and one of the heirs to the throne.

Although they cannot prove him, it does not mean that the ministers do not have any grudges in their hearts. Most people believe that this was done by Shao Bo.

Who dares to support such a person to be the King of Mo? It is very likely that if you support him to ascend the throne today, he will turn his face and kill you tomorrow. The ministers in the court of Mo Kingdom dare not take such a risk.

Fortunately, although Shao Fang was seriously injured, he was finally rescued. After learning the news, the ministers naturally stood on Shao Fang's side and supported him to inherit the throne.

Shao Ting was obviously "unprepared" for his sudden assassination. He did not appoint a crown prince, nor did he make any medical instructions. The new monarch could only be arranged according to the order of succession.

The ministers of course went to the eldest prince first to ask him to inherit the throne. The eldest prince had eye problems, but his brain was good. He knew that the ministers were just pretending. No monarch of any country or generation of princes was a blind man, and he himself did not covet the throne.

The eldest prince was very sensible and postponed. The ministers continued to persuade him, and he postponed again. After persuading him again, he still postponed. After repeating three times, the ministers finally did enough etiquette, and then went to Shao Fang to persuade him to succeed the throne and become the monarch of Mo.

Shao Fang had been waiting for this day, and now it was finally his turn to become the monarch of a country. When the ministers came to persuade him, Shao Fang was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed. Fortunately, the right prime minister Dong Sheng was there and hinted to him again and again, otherwise Shao Fang, who was extremely excited, would have to express his willingness to succeed the throne on the spot.
