The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 469 Breaking the situation

Shen Wen patted the hand that Chu Yanqiu was using to pinch him, and said with difficulty, "Let go... I'm being strangled to death by you. I'm a hostage while I'm alive... and I'm useless to you when I'm dead."

Chu Yanqiu slowly loosened his grip on her fingers. Her eyes remained fixed on the young emperor the whole time. He said, "If you don't want her to die, then obey my orders and withdraw your troops immediately. Otherwise, I'll strangle her to death and then take you down with me."

Hearing such cold words from this person at this moment, Shen Wen felt very uncomfortable, even though she knew that taking herself hostage was the best option at this time.

The young emperor stood up from his seat with concern. He pointed at Chu Yanqiu and said, "You unscrupulous villain, how did I finally see your true colors? I thought you disobeyed me for the sake of your beloved, but it turns out you were just using a woman as a pretext. From the very beginning, you wanted to overthrow my Great Jue Kingdom. I'm afraid you accepted my official position with this intention in mind from the start."

Chu Yanqiu tightened his grip on Shen Wen's body, lifting her up slightly. He said, "Enough nonsense. Since you look down on my ruthless methods, you, the little emperor, had better act a little more affectionate. Make way for us and let us leave immediately. Otherwise, if you exhaust my patience, I'll strangle her right now. Then it will be your fault, and you, the amorous emperor, will be the one who killed Shen Wen."

Seeing Shen Wen's distressed state, the young emperor dared not delay any longer. He could only wave his hand reluctantly, ordering the generals to let the two of them leave.

The tightly packed troops gradually parted to make way for them.

Chu Yanqiu, holding Shen Wen hostage, walked through the crowd, but just as they were about to escape the encirclement, a soldier behind them called out to Chu Yanqiu, "Lord Chu, are you really leaving like this? What will happen to your maternal grandfather's remains? If you say you don't want them, then we'll just take the body to the mass grave and feed it to the dogs."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanqiu's killing intent surged. He suddenly turned around, and in full view of everyone, his body, which had been in the same place, had already appeared in front of the soldier in the blink of an eye. No one saw how he made his move, but the soldier's head rolled to the ground without warning, like the top block of a building.

Chu Yanqiu, who had already escaped the encirclement, was unexpectedly forced back into it.

Having been released, Shen Wen was now outside the encirclement. Chu Yanqiu had lost his leverage, and the young emperor and the others were extremely pleased with the situation. Immediately, someone grabbed Shen Wen, pulled her far away, and carefully protected her.

Shen Wen didn't want anything to happen to Chu Yanqiu. She saw that Chu Yanqiu was still calm and collected, carrying his maternal grandfather's body on his back.

Shen Wen shouted anxiously, "Chu Yanqiu is a fake! Don't worry about that corpse. He's not your maternal grandfather at all. You should run away quickly!"

Chu Yanqiu refused to listen to her. He tied his grandfather's body to his back and unleashed a murderous aura, displaying an air of fearlessness. Before he had even killed anyone, he had already frightened the surrounding soldiers who were eyeing him into taking several steps back.

Upon seeing how easily the soldiers were defeated, the young emperor behind him ordered them to retreat. With a wave of his hand, the Blood Talisman troops, who were originally on the outer edge, instantly changed positions and surrounded Chu Yanqiu in the middle.

Chu Yanqiu glanced around at the blood talisman, but there wasn't a trace of fear in him. His bloodthirsty and murderous nature was stirring within him.

At this moment and under these circumstances, probably few people would remember that this legendary hero Chu Yanqiu was a victor who had passed through the Jie Emperor's Pass.

Shen Wen looked at him, and as if sensing something within her body, she clearly saw Chu Yanqiu rapidly burning his life force, generating the murderous aura of an emperor's wrath. Shen Wen's heart felt as if it had been stabbed again, and tears of sorrow blurred her vision.

Ignoring everything, Shen Wen forcefully pushed away the people protecting her and ran to the young emperor's side. She said to him, "You are not allowed to fight Chu Yanqiu anymore. It will only result in mutual destruction. Your Blood Talisman troops cannot kill him, Your Majesty! You must listen to me. Chu Yanqiu is not an ordinary person. Your Blood Talisman troops will really be wiped out here."

The young emperor beckoned to her, inviting her to his side.

The chief eunuch, Guo, immediately came over and pulled Shen Wen step by step to the young emperor's side.

The young emperor was always gentle and kind to Shen Wen. He said, "Don't be afraid. No one can hurt you now. After I kill Chu Yanqiu and quell the rebellion of Da Jue, I promise to give you a peaceful life."

Shen Wen looked at the young emperor and suddenly realized that his conversation with him had been like talking to a brick wall.

Just then, the fight behind them started without warning.

Shen Wen looked back at this one-sided encirclement and attack by a large number of people, and watched the lonely man burning his life again and again in such a charge.

Shen Wen felt like she was in a nightmare. She didn't know why she hadn't woken up from this absurd dream, and she didn't know why she had been placed in this time and space. This place was simply twisted and terrifying.

Just then, she heard the woman's voice again. She said, "You don't seem to love him that much either. Didn't my grandson show you enough affection in the past? How can you be so cold-hearted? If you don't take action soon, his life might really be in danger."

After the curse-like sound disappeared, Shen Wen felt a strange sense of unease.

When she turned back to look at the place where the fierce battle had taken place, a strange scene unfolded between Chu Yanqiu and the Blood Talisman army, who had been evenly matched. Chu Yanqiu made a series of mistakes and was slashed several times by the Blood Talisman. The last wound was on his leg, which forced him to kneel on one knee. The knives raised high around him were about to reap his life.

Shen Wen clenched his fists nervously, the last shred of composure in his mind about to vanish.

Suddenly, a small drone appeared beside Chu Yanqiu, carrying a laser weapon. The moment it appeared, it aimed at the surrounding blood runes and fired a precise shot. After a sweep, all the blood runes that were about to harm Chu Yanqiu were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Shen Wen on the other side was not sitting quietly either. She was now closest to the young emperor. She pulled out a dagger, grabbed the young emperor's arm, and placed the dagger against his neck.

Holding the young emperor hostage, Shen Wen warily addressed the still-unresponsive crowd, "Don't move! Anyone who dares to move will be dealt with immediately."

Everyone was shocked. Who would have thought that this seemingly harmless Miss Shen was the most dangerous person to His Majesty the Emperor? Everyone tensed up as they watched this scene.

Even the young emperor himself was taken aback by Shen Wen's move.

The young emperor looked Shen Wen up and down in disbelief. He seemed to suddenly understand and said to Shen Wen, "It seems you have really fallen in love with that madman Chu Yanqiu."

Shen Wen focused all her attention on Chu Yanqiu's safety. She thrust her dagger harder, causing bright red blood to flow from the young emperor's neck.

Everyone gasped again; they were so tense they could barely breathe.

Especially Eunuch Guo, who was standing next to her, had completely lost his goodwill towards Shen Wen at this moment. His face, which was usually as smooth as a steamed bun, was now twisting and twitching from time to time. Even in this moment of anger, he did not forget to suppress himself and said to Shen Wen in a nice tone: "Miss, you mustn't do this. You are holding His Majesty the Emperor's precious body in your hands. You... you mustn't let your hand holding the dagger tremble, otherwise... my Great Jue Kingdom will be finished!"

Shen Wen ignored their reactions and reiterated, "Quickly follow my orders and remove the blood talismans here. I only want Chu Yanqiu to live."

Despite being severely injured and struggling to his feet, Chu Yanqiu completely disregarded the overall situation and angrily retorted, "Who needs your help? Do you think this will erase my hatred for you?"

Suppressing her anger, Shen Wen said to the young emperor, "You'd better listen to me. I can tell you with absolute confidence that the blood talismans you summoned are destined to perish here. If you insist on disobeying me, then I'll show you how to restrain your blood talisman artifacts, which are like heavenly soldiers and generals."

Shen Wen possessed divine eyes; she could clearly see the expression of Emperor Shizong residing within the young emperor's body. At this moment, it was obvious that Emperor Shizong was very angry. Shen Wen could completely decipher his thoughts from his eyes. He looked at her with the indifference of someone looking at an ant about to be crushed, probably harboring some hidden reason; otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill Shen Wen immediately.

That's why Qingming said Emperor Shizong was a demon.

Shen Wen was provoked by his contemptuous expression.

She waited for the young emperor to compromise, and for him to order a withdrawal.

As time slowly passed, ten breaths passed, but the young emperor still refused to compromise, his calm eyes seemingly unconcerned, which annoyed Shen Wen.

Hearing Chu Yanqiu's labored breathing on the other side, Shen Wen's instinctive divine power suddenly granted her a miracle once again. She slapped the little emperor across the face and couldn't help but say, "Get out of his body!"

From Shen Wen's perspective, the slap, neither too light nor too heavy, landed squarely on the face of the Emperor Shizong, effectively shoving the usurping soul out of the young emperor's body.

Shen Wen didn't wait any longer. Her cold eyes turned back towards Chu Yanqiu. At that moment, the drone that had been hovering above Chu Yanqiu's head let out an urgent buzz and returned to the crowd, launching a circling sweep.

After a powerful sweep, the blood runes were instantly obliterated by the laser beam.

This new type of laser weapon not only opened the eyes of these unimaginable ancient people, but even Shen Wen, a modern person, was always shocked by its stunning effects.

After several rounds of laser sweeps, all the summoned blood runes were destroyed, and those who saw this as divine punishment fled in terror.

The young emperor, who had been held hostage by Shen Wen, was released by Shen Wen after the emperor fainted. She watched helplessly as Eunuch Guo snatched the young emperor away with incredible speed and effortless speed.
