Without the poisonous palm's spiritual pressure, the three attacking disciples suddenly came to life, pouncing on them like starving tigers. However, Hua Rou grabbed one person with one hand and pulled two others along, her feet moving in a strange rhythm, so that these three people seemed to be right in front of them, feeling as if they could reach out and touch them, but when they stabbed out, they missed by a hair's breadth!
One strike didn't hit, naturally came again, but no matter how hard the three of them tried, no matter how they looked like they were sure to win, it was just one after another falling empty.
Just as they were about to doubt their lives due to their frequent failures, Hua Rou suddenly let go of Linlin and Yu'er. Instantly, Linlin and Yu'er took a strange step forward, each of them thrusting their weapons at the vital parts of one person, while Hua Rou pressed her palm against the chest of one of the disciples.
"You three, out!" Tang Zhan shouted, and the three disciples could only retreat in disarray. Hua Rou and her two companions exchanged a smile, quickly gathering together again to engage with the five newcomers.
"Wah wah wah! Hua Rou is so awesome!" Tang Liu'er shouted excitedly from the spectator stands, straining his voice as he yelled: "You guys are too awesome! I'm rooting for you!"
With Tang Liu's loud encouragement, the three of them walked in increasingly smooth steps and their coordination became more and more tacit.
Tang Liu stared excitedly at Hua Rou's footsteps for a while, and couldn't help but pull Mu Junwu beside him: "Their strange gait looks like it has something to do with the mechanism formation? Ah, ah, ah, was it your idea?"
I didn't respond to him. At this moment, although his eyes were staring straight at the trial field, in fact, he was thinking of something else.
"Mother, come with me!" In the Zhaoyi Hall, he pulled his mother's hand, and in his anxious eyes, there was a longing for future life.
"What's wrong?" The empress was shocked: "Where are you taking me?"
"We'll go see Father, I want to ask him to permit you to come with me!"
"Nonsense!" The queen mother shook off his hand and took several steps back.
"Empress! I can no longer stay in this palace! Even if I am innocent, I will be suspected of hiding the jade!"
"Son! I know your heart's desire, but the Emperor will not permit it." The Empress said as she retreated back to her bedroom, with a look of evasion. He saw this and rushed over, grabbing his mother's hand once again.
"Empress Dowager, why don't we give it a try? I'll petition the Emperor, and since I've already made it clear that I have no interest in imperial power, as long as I ask sincerely, the Emperor will surely grant my wish!"
"What if the king doesn't agree?"
"I'll secretly escort you out of the palace, I've already thought of a way"
The empress dowager immediately covered his mouth and sternly said: "Do not speak rashly!"
He wanted to explain and give her confidence, but Queen Mother sternly emphasized: "Listen! The queen mother will not leave!"
"Empress Dowager!"
"Son! The empress only wishes for your safety and well-being! If the emperor allows you to leave the palace, that is a great blessing. But if he does not permit it, do not hesitate to flee far away! Remember: as long as the empress remains in the palace for one more day, you will have one more day of peace."
"But I don't want you to be a hostage, I'm unwilling!"
The empress stretched out her hand and stroked his cheek, her eyes filled with deep affection: "Foolish child, as long as you are happy and safe, it doesn't matter to the empress even if we are separated by mountains and rivers forever!"
"Empress Dowager!"
"Alright, let mother stay in the palace at ease then. Anyway, I won't be leaving. Once you leave Changsha Fu and are far away from the imperial palace, they'll see that you don't have any ambitions and won't come to bother mother anymore, right?"
He hesitated, he wavered, knowing that Empress Dowager's words were not wrong, but leaving her alone in the palace also seemed inappropriate.
"Let's just mind our own business and live in peace, it's for the best."
The queen mother took him into her arms: "When it's time to go, just go, don't linger, don't be attached. Parents and children in this world are destined to part ways, it's just a matter of sooner or later."
His mother's words were so piercing that he eventually left alone, but now when thinking back to this scene, Mu Junwu's heart was filled with regret and pain.
Why did I agree?
If I insist on taking her out of the palace, even if there are thousands of eyes staring at me, at least I can keep her by my side and protect her.
Sorrow and anger caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, and his eyes were reddened.
"What's wrong with you?" Although he didn't get a response, Tang Liu had already gotten used to it, but the obvious unease of the person next to him still made him feel: "Your face looks really bad, and why do you look like you're about to cry?"
"I" forced myself to suppress my emotions: "I didn't sleep well last night."
This reason is too ridiculous, so ridiculous that Tang Liu'er and the others find it hard to believe. However, at this time, the disciples who were watching from behind them let out a cry of surprise, immediately drawing their attention to the scene inside.
"Five of you are out!" The five people who were countered by Hua Rou and the others dejectedly quit the arena under Tang Jian's declaration.
In the blink of an eye, six disciples rushed over and surrounded Hua Rou and her two companions, clearly intending to launch a group attack. But just as they were about to do so, Tang Fei Yan, who had been fighting with someone else on the side with a rather theatrical attitude and without much strength, suddenly let out a loud shout of "Ah!" and began to exert his true power!
She wielded a long whip with raging anger, lashing out at her disciples who were about to engage in combat. With a swift turn of her body, she began attacking everyone on the scene, whipping anyone in sight!
Those disciples had long been bought off and it was clear that they were here to drive out the three people in the poison house, who would guard against Tang Feiyan?
One after another, several were knocked out and lost their qualifications. The remaining ones directly turned around and joined the team surrounding Huā Róu, all of them attacking Huā Róu and her two companions at once.
Apparently they thought their performance was too poor and angered this young lady.
No more poisonous moves to intimidate, no more worries about acting, they once again worked together in unison. Even though Hua Rou was pulling Lin Lin and Yu Er's feet as they walked through the formation, avoiding attacks, but after all, their grasp of it wasn't proficient enough. First, Lin Lin missed a step and was pointed out to be eliminated, immediately followed by Yu Er making an error in her pace and being kicked flying out.
Yu'er fell to the ground and was about to get up when Tang Feiyan, looking like a mad demon, swung her whip over and lashed down at her!
Jade hurriedly rolled and dodged, she managed to avoid the whip, but her clothes were torn by the lash, revealing a piece of shiny armor underneath.
"Eh, how is it on Yu's body?" Tang Liu was shocked and stunned, while Mu Junwu turned around and walked away.
"What are you doing again?" Tang Liu grabbed his arm.
"I'm tired, let's go back and rest." Mu Junwu forced himself to perk up, shaking his arms.
"Haven't you seen? Huajou hasn't won yet!"
"She can't lose." Mu Junwu shook off Tang Liu's hand and walked away.
"I also believe she can't lose!" Tang Liu muttered to himself, looking at the scene: "But who can say clearly about this kind of thing? What if..."
Tang Liu's words came to an abrupt halt as he stared at the scene before him, his eyes wide with astonishment.
