Chapter 295: The Execution Ground

Han Xu had thought about entering the royal city and killing the Emperor Wu, but now was not the time to act impulsively. •

Wei Tong was still in the hands of the Emperor Wu. If Han Xu exposed himself directly, Wei Tong's life would not be guaranteed. The Emperor Wu was fully capable of killing Wei Tong before Han Xu defeated him.

After all, the Emperor Wu had also entered the semi-saint realm. As long as Han Xu's divine consciousness covered the royal city to find someone, he would definitely be sensed by him.

So, Han Xu chose to wait outside the city and wait until Wei Tong showed up before taking action.

The moment Han Xu got off the car, the other people in Fengling Post Station fell into the illusion created by Han Xu with the mirror flower and water moon, and fell into a deep sleep, and would not wake up for at least a day.

So, Han Xu and Yingying moved in here with peace of mind. That night, both of them couldn't sleep.

Han Xu thought about solving the troubles of the Great Wu Dynasty as soon as possible, and then go to the upper realm to find a way to save Luo Ling and the King of Wei.

Yingying looked in the direction of the royal city and recalled the blood feud she had carried. In order to take revenge, she had paid too much. If she hadn't met Han Xu by chance, she would not only fail to take revenge, but also become a tool used by others and a toy to be manipulated at will.

The next day, outside the Wumen Gate of the royal city, there was a court of execution, which was a place where those extremely evil criminals were beheaded for public display.

In the center of the court of execution was the execution platform. The wooden floor on the platform had turned into a disgusting dark red under the accumulation of blood, exuding a smell of death.

Today, the one who would be beheaded here was Wei Tong, the son of King Wei. He was a genius in the cultivation of Jiuxiao Academy and had a great reputation in the royal city. Coupled with his special identity, the news caused quite a stir after it came out.

Many people came to watch outside the court of execution.

Most of them came to watch the excitement, and of course a small number of people sympathized with the genius who was about to fall.

At noon, pairs of fully armed soldiers lined up to enter the execution ground. They were wearing silver armor and holding long swords. They were actually the Tiance Army, the imperial guards.

After the Tiance Army entered the field, they directly guarded the various passages of the execution ground. Some careful people also found that there were many extraordinary strong men mixed in the crowd. Although they were wearing civilian clothes, their eyes were sharp and they kept observing the surroundings, as if they were alert to something.

Soon, Wei Tong, with disheveled hair, was escorted to the execution platform by two burly men.

Although Wei Tong's spiritual power was sealed, his face was haggard.

His clothes were tattered, and some scars could be seen at the gaps. Obviously, he had suffered a lot during his imprisonment. And because his spiritual power was sealed, he could not heal his wounds. Some wounds had already rotted. If it weren't for his good physical foundation, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

But even if he fell to such a point, his eyes still revealed the unyielding and stubbornness of a young man. He looked at the executioner who was walking step by step with a broadsword in his hand without any fear.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Soon, everyone was surprised to see the Emperor Wu's dragon chariot driving into the execution ground. No one thought that the Emperor Wu would come in person to execute Wei Tong. No wonder the soldiers of the Tiance Army were responsible for the safety of the execution ground.

The Emperor Wu came with the only two remaining princes, Wu Xiuxian and Wu Xiuren.

The Emperor Wu sat on the high platform, and the one-armed Yang Zhuo stood behind him. After taking the elixir in the palace, Yang Zhuo's injury was no longer a big deal, but the broken arm could not be connected, and his strength would not be at the same level as before.

After the Emperor Wu sat down, his spiritual consciousness covered it, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"I want to see how long you can endure." Emperor Wu said, "Yang Zhuo!"

"Here!"

Yang Zhuo walked to the front of the stage and said loudly: "The King of Wei in the Southern Territory committed treason and his nine clans should be executed. Today, his son Wei Tong will be beheaded first to set an example!"

After saying that, he looked at the sky and then looked at the sundial beside him.

During the waiting time, the crowd was very quiet and no one made a sound.

On the high platform, Emperor Wu had no expression on his face, Wu Xiuxian showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and Wu Xiuren had a completely playful look of watching a play.

When the third quarter of noon arrived, Yang Zhuo said: "It's time, behead!"

The executioner obeyed the order and pulled out the wooden board stuck behind Wei Tong. Two big men pressed his head on the execution platform rudely. The executioner raised the broad-backed broadsword high. This sword exuded a chilling murderous aura because it had killed too many people.

The blade flashed with cold light, but when it was about to fall, the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly rose, and a flaming arrow accurately shot on the blade, and the huge force instantly broke the beheading sword.

The executioner also fell off the stage under this force.

Then, a series of figures broke through the air and landed beside Wei Tong.

Standing in the front was the King of Wei. At this time, his red hair fluttered in the wind, and his tiger eyes looked down. The Tiance Army who had just drawn their swords hesitated for a while and dared not step forward.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

The King of Wei personally brought people to rob the execution ground.

The four kings of different surnames in the Dawu Dynasty were all famous. Now only the King of Wei is left among the four. Many people said that he would hide, because only in this way can he survive.

But no one thought that the King of Wei was so strong and led people to kill into the execution ground in the royal city.

Although it was to save his son, everyone knew that if the King of Wei came, he would most likely be in danger. Even Wei Tong's public execution was a trap to lure him out and wait for him to fall into it.

Looking at the red flames burning all over the King of Wei and his eyes facing the bravery of Emperor Wu, everyone understood what it meant to die in glory rather than live in disgrace.

Even if he had to die in the end, such courage was worthy of admiration.

"Wei Zhan, only you?" Emperor Wu was a little disappointed when he saw that Han Xu was nowhere to be seen.

He could feel that the King of Wei's strength was not as good as before, and now he could only barely be regarded as the realm of unity between heaven and man. Even if he swallowed his spiritual power, Emperor Wu could not enter the holy realm.

What he wanted to lure out the most was Han Xu, but Han Xu did not appear.

"Did I misjudge him? I thought he was a man of love and righteousness, but he turned out to be a coward!"

The King of Wei said fearlessly: "I am enough!"

Beside him, Wei Tong, who had remained calm in the face of death, saw his father and showed a look of sorrow on his face. He said: "Father, this is clearly a trap. You shouldn't have come."

"Silly child, how can your father watch you die?"

Wei Kuang, who came with the King of Wei, shattered the shackles on Wei Tong with a knife and protected him behind him.

Wei Tong said: "Brother, why are you here too?"

"I am your brother!" Wei Kuang said, "We are the men of the Wei family. Today, we will advance and retreat together!"

The three members of the Wei family were all here. Everyone sighed that the Wei family might be wiped out today.

The Emperor Wu slowly stood up, and a majestic momentum swept across the mountains and rivers. He looked at the King of Wei and said: "It's good that you are here, so that I don't have to look for you again. Today, you all stay."
