Chapter 1538: Center of Attention (1)

To an emperor, nothing was as important as the absolute power of his throne.

“You brat! Is that what you’re planning?!” Emperor Wu was furious!

There was endless rage and sorrow in his eyes.

Yuan Qian and the others looked at Jun Linyuan in terror.

My dear crown prince, in a moment like this, please just back off… Say something nice, or there really is going to be a disaster!

But Jun Linyuan was never the type to play nice.

He snorted and said impatiently, “Do you want to fight or not?!”

That sentence almost gave Emperor Wu a heart attack!

What a defiant son!

The others were filled with despair when they heard what Jun Linyuan said and were convinced that this empire was doomed.

“Fine! Fine!”

Emperor Wu was genuinely angry now.

If he had considered making an excuse to stop this fight before, after Jun Linyuan challenged his authority over and over again, he was filled with rage!

“Die!”

Endless energy rushed out of the Emperor Sword like a neverending thunderclap!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky overhead.

Those kneeling on the ground felt that even their souls were trembling.

“s.h.i.+t!”

They all had an ominous feeling.

The emperor activated his killing stance.

And Jun Linyuan activated his as well!

The two men were fighting with their lives!

Yuan Qian was worried sick!

It was a duel now! Even if no one died in the end, they would still be severely injured! More importantly, this would damage their relations.h.i.+p!

Feng Wu was equally shocked.

It wouldn’t be too bad if Emperor Wu ended up injuring Jun Linyuan, but if it was the other way round and in front of all these people…

She couldn’t imagine what would happen then!

Moreover, she was the cause of everything.

“Stop!”

When the two men were ready to strike, Feng Wu ran onto the battlefield and stood between them!

Emperor Wu’s strike was already headed for her.

Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at Feng Wu in disbelief.

To them, Feng Wu seemed to have just lost her mind.

“Oh G.o.d! This is crazy!”

“Does she have a death wish?”

“She’s doomed. His Majesty’s strike will crush her!”

“How stupid is she? That’s such a meaningless way to die!”

“No, you don’t understand. Feng Wu is doing that because she thinks she can stop this fight.”

“Hahaha — Feng Wu? Stop this fight? How can she do that when a lot of influential officials weren’t able to? How naive!”

“That’s right. And now, she’s about to pay for her naivete.”

A short distance away, in a dark corner—

A pair of glinting, malicious eyes stared at Feng Wu.

“Feng Wu, there I was, thinking how awesome you are, but is that all you can do? How am I going to take my revenge when you’re dead?

“That’s okay. You may be dead, but there’s still your family. Feng Xiaoqi? Duan Chaoge?

“So, just die! And you’ll soon be joined by those you wanted to protect.”

In the dark corner, Jun Wuxia smirked.
