Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 154 Relapse of old injuries

But suddenly, Yun Zhen whispered "protect", and in an instant a white light appeared.

Even though Ji Anni closed her eyes, she still felt that the dazzling white light almost blinded her.

What's the matter?

As the white light appeared, the guards' screams were heard.

After a moment, the white light dimmed, and Ji Anni opened her eyes in Yun Zhen's arms.

Unbelievably, all the guards who had raised their knives to chop at them fell to the ground below the execution platform. One by one, they all fell flat on their backs, like turtles that could not turn over, groaning and unable to get up for a long time. Even the executioner who looked big and strong, with a body stronger than a bear, fell with his nose and face swollen and in a miserable state.

Now only Ji Anni and Yun Zhen were left on the two or three meter high wooden execution platform.

Apart from that, there was not even a single weed. The dust on the wooden board radiated outwards from where the two of them were. When the white light suddenly appeared, a strong airflow emanated from Yun Zhen's body, blowing all the guards away. And the radiating dust was the trace left by the airflow.

For a moment, no one reacted to what was happening and the execution ground was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a few painful coughs were heard, and Yun Zhen suddenly fell towards Ji Anni.

Originally, during the crisis, Yun Zhen held Ji Annie tightly in his arms to protect her, but now for some reason, Yun Zhen's body seemed to become heavier, his legs became a little weak, and he couldn't stand up. He felt dizzy and pressed towards Ji Annie.

Ji Anni subconsciously supported him and was about to ask, "Yun Zhen, what's wrong with you?", when she heard Yun Zhen's weak voice coming from her ear: "My lady...are you okay?"

As soon as he said these words, he started coughing again.

Ji Anni suddenly smelled a smell of blood. She held Yun Zhen's shoulders and looked up. Only then did she realize that Yun Zhen's mouth and shirt were already stained with blood.

This scene suddenly reminded Ji Anni of the first time she met Yun Zhen.

At that time, Yun Zhen also fell to the ground weakly, with scarlet bloodstains on his clothes.

"Yunzhen... Yunzhen, are you okay? What happened to you?" Ji Anni felt a pain in her heart.

Yun Zhen's pale face and the bright red blood on his lips formed a sharp contrast, which was even more dazzling than the white light just now, and almost made Ji Anni's eyes bleed.

"My queen, are you okay?" Yun Zhen forced out a nonchalant smile.

"No, no, I'm fine... Yunzhen, don't talk anymore..." Seeing that his mouth was full of blood, Ji Anni was reluctant to let him say another word. She felt her body and found no handkerchief, so she had to use her sleeve to wipe the blood stains from the corner of Yunzhen's mouth.

"It's okay," Yun Zhen held Ji Anni's hand that was wiping the blood off him and said, "I can still...protect you..."

"Stupid, who needs your protection!" Ji Anni yelled anxiously. Although she knew that if Yun Zhen hadn't been there, she would have been killed by the knife, but now seeing Yun Zhen spitting blood to protect her, it was even more painful than getting a knife in her neck.

Strangely enough, Yun Zhen had no knife wounds on his body, and those guards seemed to have been blown away by him with a strange force before they even got close to him. Yun Zhen probably had internal injuries, which led to his coughing up blood.

Ji Anni tried her best to hold him, but Yun Zhen's body was getting heavier and heavier. Ji Anni could not hold him anymore, so she hugged him and knelt on the execution platform.

"Yunzhen, Yunzhen, are you okay?" Seeing Yunzhen close his eyes, Ji Anni was so scared that she couldn't even speak clearly, for fear that Yunzhen would never be able to open his eyes again.

Yun Zhen shook his head and said in Ji Anni's ear intermittently: "My queen... my old injury has relapsed, and my magic power is almost gone. I don't know if I can take you away smoothly... If necessary, my queen, you can escape by yourself, don't worry about me..."

"Yun Zhen?" Ji Annie was stunned. Only then did she realize that Yun Zhen was surrounded by a circle of silver light, just like a god.

What old injury? What mana?

Ji Annie opened her eyes wide and suddenly remembered - Yun Zhen was the national teacher, a person who understood Taoism!

No wonder there was a burst of white light at the moment of life and death just now. It must be one of Yun Zhen’s magic spells, right?

I've been with Yun Zhen for such a long time, but today was the first time I realized that his magic is so powerful!

In the past, Ji Anni thought Yun Zhen was at best just a charlatan who set up a Taoist altar and waved his magic sword around.

"My lady, help me stand up..."

As Yun Zhen spoke, he turned his gaze to Unnie, who was not far below the execution platform. If he wanted to break out of this execution ground, he could only rely on Unnie's strength, but could he really successfully lead Zhao Ji out amidst the heavy defense? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his eyebrows. Although the hope was slim, he had no choice but to fight to the death!

Yun Zhen slowly closed his eyes, his lips moved twice, and a series of incomprehensible syllables came out of his mouth.

He wanted to use magic to manipulate Unnie and let her take him and Jianni away from here.

"Stop him! Stop him!" On the execution stand, not only the Queen Mother, but also the Prime Minister and the General Manager were panicked.

Presumably, they had already witnessed Yun Zhen's magical power, and knew that if Yun Zhen got serious, he would be hard to deal with. At this moment, they couldn't help but panic, and even ignored their appearance, and started screaming and jumping on the stage in a panic.

Before the guards could climb back onto the execution platform, the spell Yun Zhen was reciting was interrupted by a mouthful of blood he himself spat out.

"Yun Zhen... Yun Zhen, please stop reading..."

Ji Anni was so anxious that she started crying and kept wiping the blood from Yun Zhen's mouth with her sleeve.

But as soon as I wiped it, new blood started to flow out and it couldn't be wiped clean no matter how hard I tried.

In just a short while, not only Yun Zhen's shirt was turned red, but even Ji Anni's sleeves were soaked with blood.

"My queen, don't be afraid... I will protect you..." Yun Zhen covered his mouth with one hand, and held Ji Anni's hand tightly with the other hand. His eyes were almost unable to open. Even if he tried his best to open them, his vision was all dark. He couldn't see where the execution platform was, nor could he see the way out. He could only hold Ji Anni's hand desperately, feeling that she was still by his side and that she was still safe, and only then could he find a trace of peace of mind.

"I don't want you to protect me... Yun Zhen, you protect yourself." Ji Anni hugged Yun Zhen tightly and said with sobs, "You understand Taoism, you must know how to heal yourself. I don't want you to cast a spell to take me out... I want you to cast a spell to save yourself... Yun Zhen, please save yourself first..."

The reason why Ji Anni traveled through time and space was because Yun Zhen was fighting with an unknown monster, which caused the time and space to be disordered, resulting in the strange phenomenon of the red moon covering the sun in the sky, and inadvertently opened the door to the two worlds, so Ji Anni was pulled into this world and into Zhao Ji's body.

It was also at that time that Yun Zhen was seriously injured and his inner energy was depleted. Even though he had spent nearly a month recuperating, he still hadn't recovered.

Just now, he chanted spells and cast protective spells to protect Ji Annie, which aggravated his injuries and caused him to cough up blood.

Seeing that Yun Zhen was about to collapse, the Queen Mother seized the opportunity and ordered the guards: "Come here! Catch them, catch them!"

"Who dares to come over here?"

On the execution platform, the dying Yun Zhen suddenly raised his head and let out a loud shout, which frightened the guards who had just crawled up from the ground and made them dare not move.

At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly realized that there was only one person standing on the execution ground. She shouted at that person at the top of her lungs, "What are you still standing there for, Kang Xiaorong! If you don't chop off the heads of those two traitors today, you'll have to keep your own head!"
