Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 91 The End of the Crossbow

Su Yue, inside the space, took in the entire scene of the battle that was about to end.

The Second Prince Mu Yuhe and the Fourth Prince Mu Yulin looked like two wounded and trapped beasts, covered in blood and barely breathing. They were on their last legs and about to die.

The group of men who used to surround them are now few in number, having been devoured by this brutal struggle.

Those loyal guards who had once followed them were now either lying in pools of blood or seriously wounded and on the verge of death.

Even the Imperial Guards, which symbolized the majesty of the royal family, suffered more than half their casualties in this fierce battle, leaving very few survivors. The entire palace was filled with a strong aura of death.

Mo Wu and Mo Liu, standing beside Mu Yuhe, were in an even more miserable state.

Their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, some of which were still bleeding, dripping onto the ground.

Some wounds have gradually congealed, forming hideous scars.

They gritted their teeth, their eyes revealing determination and resilience. Even though they were seriously injured, they remained by their master's side, ready to fight to the last drop of strength for him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful!" Su Yue spat out the sunflower seed shells in her mouth and complained.

That little seventh brother is so useless! Why didn't he think to kill the little fourth brother first? Couldn't he see that the fourth brother was almost dead?

Oh my! This Mo Liu is in such a sorry state! Look at all that blood, you could fill a basin with it! Doesn't he bleed to death?! The fact that he can still stand up is truly amazing!

Oh dear, even at this point, this second brother is still so quick-witted, even threatening children. He's obviously a repeat offender. He had me drugged and locked in the basement. How come he was so arrogant back then? Now he can't even jump around like that anymore. Bah, serves him right!

......

The tense and stagnant atmosphere outside seemed to solidify, making every second feel as if it were stretched out, and time itself seemed to stand still.

It's like the calm before a storm, just waiting to see which side will lose patience and break this strange balance first.

Su Yue was so anxious that she wanted to take matters into her own hands. She even stopped cracking sunflower seeds. She had a brilliant idea: why not pick a general and send whoever's name was chosen to die?

Su Yue circled her finger over the four people in the space, finally landing on Mo Yulin.

That's good. This way, all three parties are equal, as they are all one person.

Su Yue slowly raised her hand in the space. Her seemingly weak hand now seemed to contain endless power, tightly gripping Mu Yulin's neck and firmly controlling his life in her own hands.

Her eyes were cold and resolute. With a sharp pinch, a crisp "crack" sound echoed in the air like thunder, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

Mu Yulin's body thudded like a heavy sack, collapsing silently to the ground.

His once bright and piercing eyes were now wide open, as if filled with resentment and bitterness. His unseeing eyes sent chills down one's spine.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden scene. They stood there dumbfounded, their mouths agape in a wide "O" shape, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

The moment Mu Yuhe saw Mu Yulin fall, it was as if the world had collapsed. He knelt down and threw himself on top of Mu Yulin.

Her hands trembled as she placed them under Mu Yulin's nose, anxiously trying to confirm if he was still breathing.

However, when he felt that lifeless touch, his last glimmer of hope vanished, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar: "No!"

His eyes were wide open like copper bells, flashing with grief mixed with an uncontrollable rage, as if he wanted to burn everything around him to ashes.

At this moment, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, like a string stretched to its limit, ready to snap at any moment and unleash destructive power.

The others exchanged glances, a hint of panic and unease flashing in their eyes. They had never expected such a situation to arise, and fear gripped their hearts.

But for them, Mu Yulin's death was indeed good news. With one less competitor, they had a better chance of ascending to the throne.

There was not a trace of pity for the dead on the ground in their eyes. At this moment, in their hearts, only the supreme throne was the most important thing. Only by ascending to that position could they be qualified to grieve over spring and autumn, and to feel joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"I know it's you, come out! Come out here, do you dare to hide in the shadows, you bitch, come out here..." Mu Yuhe shouted into the air while holding the lifeless Mu Yulin.

Su Yue isn't stupid; why would she be foolish enough to go out? Even if most of his men are killed or injured, she's only one person; she can't possibly fight off four opponents!

I have the whole story in my mind, so who's next?

Oh dear, seeing Mu Yuhe shouting and yelling like that, Su Yue felt a surge of displeasure.

This commotion is really annoying; it seems I need to deal with him properly first.

But just as Su Yue stretched out her finger to make a move, she instantly changed her mind.

She still has a use for Mu Yuhe; she can't let him die so easily, that would be too good for him.

Thinking about it this way, there were only two people left in the room: one was the child, and the other, from the first glance, gave the impression of being very clever but actually stupid.

This is really a difficult decision to make.

Su Yue hesitated and struggled for a while, but finally decided to deal with the child first.

Just think about it, at such a young age, he's already thinking about vying for the supreme throne in this chaotic palace. Look at his ambition, it's simply boundless.

If he really gains power in the future, he will definitely be an unruly person.

Then look at the person blocking the child's way; at first glance, they even look somewhat similar!

There must be some intricate connection between these two. Hmph, it's definitely him.

She didn't like that cunning and scheming child at all.

Su Yue focused her mental energy directly on the child's fragile neck.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and then suddenly exerted force without any mercy.

A sharp, chilling sound of bones breaking was heard, particularly jarring.

Then, she swiftly and decisively withdrew the spiritual energy that had been wrapped around the child's neck, as if everything that had just happened was merely a fleeting illusion.

The child, who had been watching the spectacle with amusement, suddenly changed his expression.

He suddenly felt an unprecedented tightness in his neck, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat.

His face turned deathly pale, and he instinctively reached out his little hand to tug at the clothes of the person next to him, trying to seek a bit of help and a sense of security.

However, the moment his hand touched the edge of the clothing, his body seemed to lose all strength, and he slowly fell backward like a lifeless doll.

As he collapsed, his once vibrant eyes were now filled with terror and despair, as if telling of the endless fear deep within his heart...
