King of Nine Skies-Chapter 243 - :Iron Blood

In the imperial city, there is an extremely spacious area paved with black and white marble slabs.

This spacious area is located in the bustling part of the imperial city and has a huge volume of people passing through.

In the very center of this extremely spacious area, there is a raised platform made of a blood-red staircase. This blood-red staircase is made of something unknown and is truly shocking to behold. And the platform above it is white, as pale as snow.

On the upper platform, there is also a steel-made iron chain wound around a stone pillar that reaches to the sky. At the top of this pillar, there is a cross. At both ends of the cross, there are flames burning, and there are also two curved sharp blades hooked there, which are shocking and terrifying, as if they were used to hook human arms.

This platform, known as the Platform for Slashing Generals, was where those of noble status, who had offended the Dragon's will or angered the monarch, would be executed here to demonstrate that such actions were unacceptable throughout the land.

After the killing, the corpses were bound with chains and then hung on the cross erected on that stone pillar. Their hands were hooked together. The corpses were exposed to the sun here as a warning to deter others from committing the same crime. This was done to instill fear among the people and prevent them from committing the same offense again.

At this moment, the area around this Juejiandai (a place for holding martial arts competitions) was filled with a throng of people, a sea of humanity, a vast crowd.

As for the area surrounding the Battle of Generals' Execution Ground, it was occupied by Xue Yue's army. No one was allowed to approach.

"Never did I expect that this great and mighty General of the Archers, renowned for his prowess and fame throughout the land, now has ended up in such a sorry state."

Among the crowd, someone sighed. Looking at the figure on the snow-white platform, it was clearly the Divine Archer General, Liu Canglan. At this moment, Liu Canglan was completely bound up, a criminal to be executed by beheading. But his head was held high there, his eyes neither humble nor arrogant.

He is Liu Canglan. He is innocent and has no regrets.

In front of the crowd, a pair of beautiful eyes was gazing at Liu Canglan on the stage. The eyes were bloodshot and tearful.

"Father, you wasted your prime years in pursuit of Xue Yue and devoted your life to her. But they did not repay you in the way you deserved."

This beautiful woman is none other than Liu Fei. Compared with her in Yunhai Sect in the past, she now has an added touch of mature charm. However, at this moment, she is filled with sadness and despair, feeling lonely and helpless.

"Feifei, remember what your father said. Live well, and only then will you have the hope of avenging yourself."

Beside Liu Fei, there was a middle-aged man with a calm expression on his face. But deep down in his heart, he harbored the same hatred. Especially when he saw the law enforcer, Duan Tianlao, he even wished to devour his flesh and drink his blood.

All of this was orchestrated by Duan Tianlang alone. It included the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers. But he shifted all the blame onto Liu Canglan. Even the capture of the princess by him was attributed to Liu Canglan as his crime. How absurd this is! But reality is sometimes so ridiculous and so full of drama.

"Um."

Liu Fei nodded heavily. She vowed to take revenge for this wrong. As long as Duan Tianlao didn't die, she would never allow herself to be in the same position as him. She would never betray him.

"Your father has always believed that Lin Feng would be fine. He entrusted you to him. From now on, you should go to him, even if it's to Mo Yue."

The middle-aged man spoke again. Liu Fei remained silent. Where is Lin Feng now?

For some reason, at this moment, Liu Fei felt a longing in her heart that she had never experienced before. It was a kind of longing that she couldn't explain.

When a woman is in a state of loneliness and helplessness, she always thinks of the person she cares about the most, Liu Fei. At this moment, she is truly helpless. Her father is right in front of her, about to be executed by beheading. But she has no way to stop it. She can only watch helplessly as her father is killed.

Duan Tianlang glanced at the sky and wore a broad smile on his face. For so many years, Liu Canglan had always been his rival. Today, this long-standing and troublesome foe could finally be eliminated. With justice on his side, he could rightfully slay him. How could Duan Tianlang not be happy?

"Time's almost up. Get ready."

Duan Tianlang said indifferently, and immediately, the iron chains on Liu Canglan's body began to move. His body was directly tightened by the iron chains, and then he was suspended in the air. His limbs were all locked by the iron chains, and the four iron chains were held by four powerful individuals.

Liu Canglan did not resist. She allowed her body to hang in the air, her gaze directed towards the sky. Her eyes were very calm. She only regretted that in this life, she could no longer turn back.

"Archers!"

Duan Tianlang said again in a cold and indifferent tone, "Under the red-blooded steps, many soldiers had their bows and arrows drawn and all aimed at Liu Canglan. With eighty-one arrows fired simultaneously, Liu Canglan was bound to not escape unscathed."

The atmosphere of desolation pervaded the air. The legendary archer, Liu Canglan, died right under the arrows he was best at using? Perhaps, this was itself a kind of irony.

However, at this very moment, the crowd sensed a slight tremor in the ground, and it became increasingly intense. This made their gazes slightly fixated.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of a trembling steed galloping echoed out. The ground trembled more and more violently. Duan Tianlao's gaze narrowed slightly and he looked towards the distance. There, in the distance, armored cavalrymen galloped towards him, like a fierce wind, extremely swift. And at the forefront of the charge were precisely the Red Blooded Cavalrymen.

"What's going on?"

Duan Tianlang's gaze narrowed. How could the Red Blood Iron Cavalry have appeared? They were blocked outside the Imperial City and couldn't possibly enter it.

"It's the Crimson Blood Cavalry. They have entered."

"Well, Uncle Jiuyi, it's the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry, your legion."

Liu Fei's face showed a hint of excitement. Jiu Chihe abandoned the Red Blood Army and led by Ren Qingchuan, he himself entered the imperial city alone. In his opinion, the Red Blood Cavalry shouldn't be in the imperial city at all.

Just then, Jiu Chihe's gaze fell upon a figure, a young and handsome one.

A trace of smile spread across Jiu Chi Hua's eyes.

"Feifei, it's Lin Feng. This lad is truly capable of anything. He even led the Crimson Blood Cavalry into the Imperial City."

Jiu Chihe whispered, "Lin Feng, you laid out the plan to burn the city with fire, reversed the situation, and later, alone, you rode off to pursue the enemy and rescue the work. You still came back alive. You always bring surprises to people."

Liu Fei's eyes also contained a trace of tears. Lin Feng, you came just in time. With the powerful force of the Crimson Blood Army, he father's life will surely not be lost.

However, it seems that they still underestimate the determination of Duan Tianlang to kill Liu Canglan.

"Lin Feng!"

A dark hue flashed across Duan Tianlang's eyes, and then he shouted, "Get ready! Shoot down the traitor General Liu Canglan!"

"Yes!"

A loud shout rang out, and arrows were drawn back one after another. The tremulous sounds caused the expressions of Liu Fei and Ju Zhihui to change dramatically.

"Fan Tianlang, do you dare to do this?" Jiu Chihe roared in anger, his body leaping out directly and charging towards the crowd.

"Boom!"

A fierce punch was hurled out, and those archers were instantly wiped out by Ju Chi's blood spray. Several of them were killed.

"Shoot the arrow."

Duan Tianlang let out a cold laugh, his bow and arrows whistled out and shot towards Liu Canglan. At this moment, Jiu Chixue's face turned pale. His body moved out directly, reaching an extreme speed, and he stepped forward in one step to reach Liu Canglan's position, wrapping Liu Canglan's body tightly in his arms. The surging qi on his body was released with an incomparably fierce power, and he was completely enveloped in a layer of qi light.

"Go away."

Liu Canglan roared out, his complexion changed dramatically. At this moment, he was completely restrained and his cultivation was also imprisoned. He couldn't move at all and could only be held by Ju Chihai.

"Uncle Juj."

Liu Fei let out a cry of surprise, and then a hissing sound came out. Arrows pierced through the white qi and pierced into Ju Chai Hua's body. However, they were stuck by Ju Chai Hua's corpse and couldn't penetrate his body to hit Liu Cang Lan.

"Brother!"

Liu Canglan roared towards the sky, his face showing an extremely painful expression. Above his forehead, a door appeared, a dark door, a sealing door, constantly flashing, preventing him from mobilizing his power.

"Let's die together."

Duan Tianlang gave a cold shout and stepped forward with his body. But at this moment, a sense of icy coldness descended upon him, making him feel extremely cold all over.

"Bing Xin."

A sharp sound rang out. Duan Tianlang let out a low groan, his face turning pale. He turned around and summoned the surging essence energy, directly blasting out against the endless ice-bound air that was approaching. Instantly, he felt his body go numb with cold and it began to rebound and retreat rapidly. He couldn't care about Liu Canglan anymore.

"Kill!"

Another shout of rage rang out. Lin Feng held a long sword in his hand, and a brilliant swordlight flashed dazzlingly. The heads of those holding bows and arrows kept flying into the air. Lin Feng's body was filled with an endless murderous intent.

While Ren Qingchán merely let the four people who were pulling the iron chain off and left them as they were. He did not intervene or do anything to stop them. Instead, he directly killed them.

Jujichi's blood trickled out from his mouth continuously, but on his face, there was a calm smile.

"General, my life for yours was worth it. Besides, after my death, the position of the leader of the Crimson Blood Sect should be given to Lin Feng."

"Roar..." Liu Canglan roared in a hoarse voice, his eyes moist. Men have tears but do not shed them lightly. It was not that he was not capable of crying; it was just that he had not yet reached the point of being truly heartbroken. He and Ju Zhihui had been brothers for over a decade. Although both of them were not good at expressing themselves, they regarded each other as their brothers and family members. Countless times, they fought bloodily and shared life and death together.

However, at this moment, Ju Chihe, instead, was willing to sacrifice himself to save him.

"General, I still have one more thing to say to you." Jiu Chihua leaned forward slightly and leaned against Liu Canglan, resting his head on her shoulder. He whispered in her ear.

Jiu Chihe's voice grew fainter and fainter. After finishing his words, he turned to look at Liu Canglan, the stern and unsmiling commander. But at this moment, a smile remained on his face.

"General, for over a decade... I have been following you unswervingly and have never called you by any other title. Today, please forgive me for my mistake. I shall address you as: Brother... Brother!"

The word "brother" reverberated through the heavens. It was Jiuchixue's roar, with all his remaining strength. When the roar ended, his gaze became slack and lifeless. Immediately, his eyes slowly closed and he peacefully lay in Liuchanglan's arms.

Seeing Jiu Chihe's bloodshot eyes close, Liu Canglan raised his head to look at the sky. Two lines of hot tears kept sliding down.

Brother, just two simple words. But could they really encapsulate all the years of sharing life and death together?

This tough and brave man lay so tightly in his arms, never to wake up again.
