Chapter 1782

The sound of the flute grew closer and closer, bringing with it an unprecedented pressure.

Tang Xuance could no longer hold himself back. "Protect His Majesty! Where are the soldiers of the Waterdance Army? Hurry and protect His Majesty! "

However, upon receiving the order, the expected elite soldiers did not rush in. It was as if all the soldiers had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.

"How could this be? Six thousand elite soldiers! "Tang Xuance muttered to himself, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

The soldiers of the Waterdance Army had all been carefully trained by him and were skilled in joint attacks. Even if they encountered an expert, they should still be able to put up a fight.

Even if he wasn't a match for them, he shouldn't have been killed so quietly!

He did not know what had happened outside the hall, but not a single one of his subordinates had appeared. This meant that the line of defense he had set up outside the hall had completely collapsed. The palace's tight security was now useless!

"Is this Householder Peach Blossom?"

Tang Xuance's body tensed up as he glanced at Gu Chen beside him.

Right now, the only one who could help him and Prince Pei was this High Official Chen!

Tang Xuance's mood improved a little when he saw Gu Chen's calm demeanor, but his face was still filled with worry.

Even if this person cultivated an extraordinary Body Freezing Technique, would he be able to protect himself and Prince Pei without even being able to see the assassin's face?

The sound of the flute hummed, and the sound waves gradually became louder and louder. It was so loud that the tables in the hall shook incessantly, and cracks appeared on the roof beams.

The officials had already retreated to a corner, consciously distancing themselves from Prince Pei and Tang Xuance. No one was willing to be implicated.

The melody was laid out perfectly. After a sharp turn, the sound of the flute let out a murderous staccato!

Like a spring breeze, countless peach blossom petals surged into the hall and swept toward Tang Xuance!

Every petal was like a sharp blade, ready to cut Tang Xuance into pieces in an instant!

Tang Xuance's hair stood on end. His Daoist power subconsciously circulated in his body and turned into protective Vigor Qi.

However, his Daoist power was no more than a few thousand, and the energy contained in every petal was not weak. Under the densely packed petals, he was like a spider trapped in a web!

He felt that he would die without a doubt. He could not block it and wanted to dodge, but Householder Peach Blossom's first move was a killing move, leaving no openings!

It's over!

Just as this thought popped up in his mind, the peach blossom rain had already arrived before his eyes. Suddenly, all of them dispersed and disappeared!

He felt a gentle breeze around him. The gorgeous peach blossoms turned into pink light and disappeared. It was as if there was a strange magnetic field around him!

"What's going on?" Tang Xuance heaved a sigh of relief and was slightly bewildered.

The flute stopped abruptly. After a moment of silence, a lazy voice rang out.

"The Peach Blossom Cove has a Peach Blossom Nunnery, and the Peach Blossom Nunnery has a Peach Blossom Immortal. The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. "

The other party recited the poem leisurely and contented, but the storm of peach blossoms coming from outside the hall was even more frightening.

Countless peach blossom petals flew over like thousands of sharp blades, shattering the tables and chairs in their wake. However, when the petals reached within two feet of Tang Xuance, they all crumbled and disappeared from the world.

This stalemate was fruitless. A cold snort came from outside the hall. The peach blossom rain suddenly changed its course!

The sky full of petals danced toward the seat beside Tang Xuance. Only then did the crowd notice Gu Chen, who was sitting still and drinking by himself.

Gu Chen did not even bat an eyelid. The petals that could easily cut through stone fell on him, but they could not even pierce through his skin.

Crack!

The wine cup in his hand was cut in half, and the wine flowed out. Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

"You're interrupting my drinking," he said coldly. This was what he was concerned about.

All the officials in the hall looked at him in bewilderment. Who was this person? He did not seem to care about the Peach Blossom Householder!

Shao Jianmin and Shao Jianwu looked at each other. Their eyelids twitched at the same time!

"Haha, you're really pretentious."

The person outside the hall stopped reciting the poem. The words that came out of his mouth were unexpectedly vulgar and direct.

"I can't compare to you. You play the flute and recite poems at the same time." Gu Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Hmph. Who are you? Tell me your name."

A figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. He was dressed in a red robe and a pink cape, which was decorated with blooming peach blossoms. His style of dress was really different.

Gu Chen looked at the newcomer in surprise. The assassins of Wang Wang Pavilion were usually dressed in black, but this person was different.

Seeing that the other party had a slender and well-proportioned figure and an exquisite face, Gu Chen asked casually. "I didn't expect you to be a woman."

"Are you blind? I'm a man! "The Peach Blossom Householder frowned and rebuked him angrily. He deliberately made his voice rougher.

"A man? Then why are you dressed so ostentatiously? "Gu Chen was stunned and asked subconsciously.

As soon as he said that, the murderous atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange. All the officials had strange expressions on their faces.

They had heard of the reputation of the Peach Blossom Householder many times, but today was the first time they had seen him.

That red robe and pink cape was indeed an eyesore. It would be understandable if a woman dressed like that, but a man dressed like that. Wasn't that just showy?

But no one dared to say anything to his face. After all, many people had heard that this Peach Blossom Householder loved to look good and couldn't stand being criticized by others.

But now that Gu Chen had made it clear, the officials were secretly shocked. Where did this fierce person come from?

The officials all knew that the Tang family had two consecrators, and many of them had seen them before. But this person in front of them was so unfamiliar that they were confused.

It was also at this time that many people began to seriously size up Gu Chen, who had been by Tang Xuance's side.

"What did you say? You're courting death! "

One moment, he mistook himself for a woman, and the next moment, he called him showy. The Peach Blossom Householder, who had thought that his entrance was very domineering, felt that he had lost all face at this moment.

Clang!

A peach wood sword flew out of his sleeve. Holding it in his hand, he suddenly charged at Gu Chen with an imposing manner.

With this sword, the light in the entire hall suddenly dimmed. It was as fast as wind and lightning. It was truly not a simple sword to kill!

Gu Chen sat where he was without moving, allowing the sword to approach him. Then, he calmly extended two fingers and gently clamped them together.

Clatter.

The peach wood sword that was stabbing toward him suddenly stopped. The Peach Blossom Householder's beautiful eyes widened. He channeled his strength to charge at the sword, but he couldn't take another step forward!

"Since you dare to attack me, you should be prepared to die."

Gu Chen's eyes were cold, and he slowly raised his empty hand.

The Peach Blossom Householder instantly felt a strong sense of danger. Trembling in fear, he immediately let go of the peach wood sword and stepped back!

"Your reaction is quite fast."

Gu Chen smiled. The mysterious rope that he had just used to protect Tang Xuance was pulled back under his control and landed in his hand.

Swoosh.

With a thought, the mysterious rope flew toward the other party like a spring.
