Chapter 11 Kill, leave no one alive.
Only now did Chu Ning finally understand why her teacher had instructed her to leave her personal guards in the palace.
It turned out that everything was under the teacher's control; he had anticipated everything that would happen today.
It seems that nothing in the world can escape the teacher's eyes.
Looking at the smug Su family members opposite him, Chu Ning found it somewhat amusing.
They probably haven't realized that what they thought were profound schemes were nothing but a joke in the teacher's eyes, and he didn't even have the chance to do them himself.
Seeing that Chu Ning was alone and silent for a long time, the head of the Su family assumed that she was afraid and couldn't help but laugh, his smile full of mockery.
If we kill Chu Ning today, the Great Chu will belong to the Su family.
They have been waiting for this moment for far too long.
The head of the Su family swung his longsword forward with a sudden movement, his eyes filled with greed and insane ambition.
"Don't think that sorcerer can come to your rescue! After I, the patriarch, capture you first, I'll lead my army to raze the Military Council to the ground and chop that sorcerer to pieces!"
He shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Su family members, listen to my command! Whoever captures Chu Ning will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.
A lieutenant holding a knife glared fiercely.
He roared and charged up the steps first, his broadsword whistling sharply as he slashed straight at Chu Ning's face.
According to outside rumors, this princess was just a weak woman, timid and cowardly.
Even though she killed so many people before, it was because of that imperial advisor. Now that the imperial advisor is not here, there is only Chu Ning here.
In their view, what's so difficult about killing a helpless woman?
"Die!" the man roared as he swung his sword, followed by a number of others.
Chu Ning seemed oblivious to the imminent danger.
Just as the greatsword was about to fall, a dark red aura, almost tangible, suddenly erupted from her body.
Chu Ning simply raised his palm and clapped it in the air.
With a muffled thud, the lieutenant didn't even have time to scream before his internal organs were instantly shattered by the violent baleful energy. He was sent flying like a tattered sack, crashing heavily to the ground and dying on the spot.
Hot blood was splattered on the white palace walls, a shocking sight.
The private soldiers of the Su family who were originally following behind gasped in shock and took several steps back in fear.
No one expected it to turn out this way.
"How is this possible? Wasn't she born with a blocked meridian? How can she actually have cultivation!"
An incredulous gasp erupted from the crowd.
In everyone's mind, the princess of the Great Chu was a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken. Who would have thought that she not only had cultivation, but was also so ruthless!
The Su family patriarch's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure, his eyes becoming even more sinister: "So that fiend taught you some evil tricks, but so what? You still can't escape today! I can still cripple you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a middle-aged man leaped out from the group.
He was surrounded by true energy, possessing formidable strength, already at the eighth rank.
The Su family had been plotting a rebellion for a long time, so how could they not have a backup plan? They not only colluded with the Queen from the inside, but also brought along experts.
This expert was originally there to deal with any potential experts around the King of Chu.
But unexpectedly, they are now being used against the once useless princess Chu Ning.
"Your Highness, judging from your aura just now, you've only just entered the seventh rank. A seventh rank against an eighth rank is like an ant trying to shake a tree. You'd better just surrender." The man appeared polite, but his eyes were full of contempt.
Upon hearing the man's words, the Su family patriarch's fanaticism intensified.
Although he didn't know how this little girl broke through to the seventh rank in such a short time, so what? She was still going to be easily taken down by him!
Chu Ning slowly drew the long sword from his waist, and the dark red demonic mark between his brows lit up.
The malevolent aura around him gradually intensified.
She flashed forward like a streak of blood-red lightning, taking the initiative to meet the eighth-rank expert.
Sensing the powerful aura of his opponent's attack, the man dared not underestimate his enemy and responded by circulating his own internal energy.
In a short time, the two clashed several times.
The expert thought he could easily crush this young girl who had only been cultivating for a short time by relying on his level advantage, but his expression changed completely after they started fighting.
Chu Ning's cultivation technique is not normal true qi at all, but extreme evil qi!
Her moves were devoid of any defense or retreat; they were all life-or-death, ruthless, and domineering killing techniques taken to the extreme.
"You madman! Are you out of your mind?" the man exclaimed.
People who have reached his level of cultivation are extremely protective of their lives, so they would never use such a life-or-death killing move.
Even more terrifying, he discovered that his powerful eighth-grade true qi dissipated rapidly when it came into contact with the dark red baleful aura!
Chu Ning's cultivation was clearly inferior to his, but he was overwhelmed by the terrifying aura of death and the suicidal fighting style, and was unable to resist at all.
The man was caught in a fierce battle.
He tried to break free, but found himself firmly entangled.
As time went by, the true energy in his body decreased, but his opponent seemed to never tire, and even became more and more frantic as the fight progressed!
As the man struggled, Chu Ning spotted an opening and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
She took the blow head-on, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
But the longsword in her hand transformed into a streak of bloody light, piercing the throat of the eighth-rank expert at a tricky angle!
The eighth-rank expert stared wide-eyed, clutching his bleeding neck, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
This was her first real combat experience since she began cultivating, and she directly killed an eighth-rank expert, a level above her own.
Although she was injured again, each breakthrough required excruciating pain, like bones being ripped from flesh, and she had long since become accustomed to this kind of pain.
After the eighth-rank expert brought by the Su family was killed, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.
Those people looked at the blood-soaked girl on the steps, who resembled a demon, as if she were a ghost.
Chu Ning also raised his sword and shouted, "Where are the Imperial Guards?!"
At her command, countless torches suddenly lit up on the palace walls and in the shadows on both sides of the bedchamber.
Chu Ning's five hundred personal guards, along with the palace guards who had been lying in ambush, surged out like a tide, bows and arrows nocked, and blades drawn, instantly surrounding the Su family's three thousand private soldiers in the center.
These people had been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for Chu Ning's orders.
Although these people were few in number, they were all battle-hardened soldiers, and their presence was extremely imposing, far surpassing the influence of the Su family's private soldiers.
Now that the eighth-rank expert brought by the Su family is dead, there is no possibility of turning the tide.
"The Su family has committed treason, and according to the laws of the Great Chu, their entire clan should be executed! I believe that those of you who have been misled and laid down your weapons will be spared! Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be killed without mercy!"
Faced with such a shock, those people's mental defenses crumbled instantly.
It's unclear who started it, but everyone else followed suit.
The crowd knelt down and begged for mercy, and the defense line collapsed instantly.
Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled, a smile that was both cruel and nonchalant.
She waved her hand and gave the order.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive."
From the moment those people entered the palace to plot a rebellion, it became impossible for them to leave alive.
These are all principles that her teacher taught her.
