At the Mei Tai Banquet, almost all the young martial kings drank too much and got drunk in Bingya Mei Pavilion. It could take as short as one day or as long as three days before these young martial kings woke up one after another.
There is no way to continue this plum blossom feast. The nine plum gardens in the palace have different flowering periods. They only bloom for more than a day at the same time and then wither. They are very limited. Once you miss this day, you can only wait for the next year.
Ji Rouyu drank less alcohol and only slept for one day before waking up.
Seeing many plum blossoms gradually withering in the plum garden, I feel sad.
In addition, after many young King Wu woke up, so many people couldn't even compete with Ye Fan for wine. They felt ashamed secretly and lost confidence in the competition for the banquet later. They all said goodbye and hurried away.
This year's Mei Tai Banquet can only be abandoned and the unfinished banquet has been abandoned.
…
Ye Fan said goodbye to Princess Ji Rouyu and left the palace with Gu Xinyue.
Both sides of the bustling streets of the Imperial City were covered with a thick layer of snow.
It was bustling, with many citizens and merchants of the imperial city busy. An inconspicuous beast-riding vehicle carried Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue out of the palace and out of the city.
In the carriage, Ye Fan held a bloody gem and admired it in his hand.
This is the second prize obtained by Bingya Plum Pavilion after winning the wine contest - a fourth-level top quality blood stone.
The royal collection is naturally a fine mysterious treasure, but most people don't know its purpose. But Ye Fan knew that its effect was very unique.
Gu Xinyue was half lying on a spacious seat covered with a piece of mink snow skin, with picturesque eyebrows and slightly red cheeks. She was sleeping with her eyes closed, not yet fully awake from her drunken state.
Her delicate body nestled against Ye Fan's side, swaying slightly with the bumps of the car, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, indescribably lazy and charming.
After the beast riding car left the palace and walked for a while on the street, she gradually woke up and found that she had left the palace.
"What's this?"
Gu Xinyue opened her eyes and looked curiously at the bloody gem in Mark's hand.
"Are you awake? This is blood stone... Fire Crow Blood Stone, a very good blood-based material that can be used to refine blood-based mysterious weapons."
Ye Fan gave her a gentle look and explained with a slight smile.
"oh!"
Gu Xinyue nodded slightly. She didn't know much about blood-based mystical weapons, and she wasn't too interested.
She remembered her conversation with Princess Ji Rouyu in Meiyuan.
That conversation touched her deeply. The princess had warned her that if she and Mark wanted to hold a wedding, there would be many obstacles and it would be difficult to hold it.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to talk to Mark.
"Ye Fan, let's wait until we reach the realm of the Martial Emperor to hold a wedding! The conditions are not yet mature now. If we hold a wedding banquet in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance. Now it's difficult to cope with the resistance from the Purple Phoenix Sect alone. If Emperor Wu is sent out to disrupt the wedding, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. If others secretly obstruct it, it will be even more troublesome."
Gu Xinyue pursed her red lips and said worriedly.
Ye Fan was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Xinyue to suddenly mention this matter.
He has been considering the timing of his wedding, but the conditions are not yet mature, so he has been unable to make a decision. But no matter how great the obstacles are, he will find a way to overcome them.
He wanted to hold a grand wedding so that Gu Xinyue could legitimately become his wife.
He came to find a solution to these matters, not wanting Gu Xinyue to worry about the marriage.
Ye Fan pondered for a while and said: "However, we are still in the early stage of the Martial King. We are probably a long way from the Martial King's realm, and it will take ten or twenty years at the shortest... Moreover, we may not be absolutely sure of breaking through the Martial King's realm. "
"It doesn't matter, we still have a lot of Ancestral God Blood Beads in our hands that have not yet been taken. The chance of breaking through to the Martial Emperor is at least more than 50%. The hope is still very high. When one of us becomes the Martial Emperor, his strength will be enough to awe anyone. That one When a big wedding is held, no one dares to object."
Gu Xinyue smiled sweetly.
Ye Fan couldn't help but fell into silence, and he nodded slightly after a long time.
Although he became the legendary Martial King by virtue of his feat of climbing the Shenwu Star Tower, he gained great reputation in the Zixuan Dynasty, surpassing almost all the young Martial Kings of his generation.
But in the face of those behemoth dynasties, state religions, and sect forces, a Martial King was too weak after all, and it was impossible to do what he wanted to do.
He needs to practice hard to make himself stronger.
…
A beast riding vehicle from the Beast Emperor Pavilion was traveling slowly on the streets of the Imperial City, heading out of the city.
The main street is quite lively.
Although it is the cold winter season, it cannot stop those people who are busy trying to make a living for their families. The waiters in the street shops are shouting for breakfast, the vendors who are rushing to go out early, the salesmen who are carrying the goods on the streets, and many people who are in a hurry. Martial arts have made the streets quite noisy.
The car was quiet, and the two of them were enjoying the warmth and tranquility.
suddenly.
Ye Fan's heart trembled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Years of experience in various dangerous experiences have given him an instinctive sense of crisis and alertness to danger.
A sharp golden light flashed in his eyes instantly.
"Yinzu Golden Eyes!"
The golden eyes penetrated the curtains of the beast rider's car and swept across the streets outside, transforming all objects into the purest vitality, which was revealed in his eyes.
Golden Eyes cannot see objects that are normally visible to the naked eye, but they can see all vitality reactions.
I saw an extremely dim shadow of vitality approaching the beast rider's vehicle silently.
This shadow used the art of invisibility to hide in the snowdrifts on the street. It was completely invisible to the naked eye and almost impossible to detect even with spiritual thoughts.
assassin?
Why are there assassins! ?
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
He rarely encountered such assassination, although he had many enemies. But most of his enemies competed head-on with him, fighting openly and openly, and rarely resorted to such despicable means of assassination.
"how?"
Although Gu Xinyue did not see the situation outside the carriage, she immediately noticed that Ye Fan's expression was abnormal, and even his skin was filled with chills.
"Pfft——~!"
An extremely dazzling sword light erupted from the snowdrift on the street, piercing a distance of ten feet in an instant, piercing the wall of the carriage of the beast rider, and stabbed Ye Fan in the chest with the sword.
Arc flash!
The sword was like lightning, so fast that even the naked eye could not catch the shadow of the sword light.
This sword is fast enough, cruel enough, and accurate enough! Silently, like a lurking poisonous snake, it instantly bites the enemy's vitals.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sneer.
If he had not been alert in advance, he might have been attacked by the assassin in a sneak attack.
He drew out the Mammoth Imperial Sword with his backhand, and it was a single blow.
"Dang~~!"
The arc flash collided with the Mammoth Imperial Sword and was instantly knocked away.
The shadow assassin secretly said something bad and retreated.
"Xiang strike!"
The shadow was extremely stubborn. At the moment when it was about to fly back, it turned back and slashed out a sword, forming a strong reverse-edged sword wind and hitting Ye Fan again.
Whoosh, whoosh!
As many as twenty masked assassins in black rushed out of the surrounding houses and attacked the beast-riding vehicle at the same time.
Everyone knows that Ye Fan, who is the legendary Martial King, is difficult to deal with. Even the dozen or so Royal Guards Martial King may not be his opponent. If the Martial King is not dispatched, he can only rely on more people.
"Bingyin combo slash!"
Ye Fan was too lazy to fight with them. He waved the mammoth imperial sword in his hand, and an arc sword energy slashed across a wide range in all directions. The sword energy contained extremely strong ice energy.
"boom--!"
The entire four walls of the carriage of the Beast Riders were blown away by Zongheng Sword Qi, spraying in all directions. Several Savage Bull Beast Riders fell to the ground in shock and did not dare to move.
Ye Fan stood in the car wearing a white shirt, holding a knife in his right hand, looking indifferently at the assassins in black around him. Gu Xinyue's autumn eyes were calm beside him, and she calmly took out her mammoth imperial bow.
"Pfft!"
Several assassins who rushed in front were instantly severely injured and repelled by consecutive blows.
The momentum of the assassins in black was suddenly blocked and they couldn't help but stop.
"Dead man!"
"It's murder, run away!"
The broad street suddenly became a scene of screaming chaos. Pedestrians couldn't help but flee in all directions when they saw the bloody battle that suddenly broke out.
The masked black-clothed martial kings were scattered around the beast rider's vehicle, all looking at each other in shock and inexplicable horror at Ye Fan's terrifying combat power.
They received an important piece of information from the palace. Ye Fan attended the princess's Mei Tai banquet and drank a large amount of high-grade wine in the palace. He was probably drunk and severely weakened his combat effectiveness. This was an excellent way to get rid of him. Chance.
So they ambush early on a main street that Ye Fan must pass when leaving the city.
But why, Ye Fan didn't look drunk at all, and his fighting power looked so strong.
what to do?
The leader of the assassins in black, the assassin who struck first, had a sinister look in his eyes. Anyway, he had already taken action, and it was too late to regret, so he could only continue to kill.
"kill--!"
"Tianchu Spiraling Blade Formation - Blade Storm!"
The assassins obeyed the order, each holding a sword, and immediately formed a besieging sword formation, spinning at the same time.
In an instant, an extremely powerful blade storm was born out of thin air. This blade storm was airtight, tightly locking Ye Fan and Ye Fan in the middle of the formation from all directions.
Tens of thousands of sword blades surrounded Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue in the center. In just a few breaths, once the sword formation tightens, tens of thousands of sword blades will eventually kill both Ye Fan and Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, go to hell! I have studied it a long time ago. Your combat power is simply not enough to break through a joint sword formation of more than ten people at the same time, let alone twenty Martial Kings!"
The assassin leader laughed maniacally.
"Water Moon God Hidden Bow——!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Gu Xinyue's lips, and she immediately bent her bow and drew an arrow.
A blue moon appeared in the sky, and the threatening heavy bow followed like a shadow, appearing above every assassin's head - or, every assassin felt in a trance that it was above their head.
This danger escaped directly from the sword formation and appeared in the outside world. And it was above the heads of the assassins, where the defenses were weakest, making them unable to resist.
The assassins couldn't help but trembled, and there was a commotion, which almost disintegrated the Tianchu Revolving Blade Formation.
"blow--!"
Suddenly, a Golden Crow armor-piercing black arrow fell from the sky and hit one of the assassins critically.
The Mammoth Imperial Bow is an extremely powerful fifth-level heavy bow. Its attack power reaches the peak of Gu Xinyue's strength, which is extremely terrifying.
Arrow falls!
"Pfft!"
An assassin in black was using his sword array at full strength. He quickly drew his sword to block the arrow, but was shocked and unable to block it. He screamed and was hit by a heavy arrow in the chest, and was thrown out of the spiral sword array.
A gap suddenly appeared in the airtight Tianchu Spiral Blade Sword Formation.
Ye Fan's figure flashed, and he cut into the gap of the spiral sword array with a knife, and broke out of the array in a golden sword light.
"No, he broke the formation!"
The assassins all around screamed and retreated in fear.
