"Did you hear me? If anyone dares move again, I'll slaughter him!"
Zhao Feng knew he was surrounded by thousands of enemy soldiers, with no telling how many more rebel experts were on their way. Liang Yong was his trump card.
"As long as you release me, I'll reward you with a hundred thousand taels of gold! Or precious medicines, Treasured Weapons—whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" Liang Yong said, forcing himself to remain calm.
He had just witnessed Zhao Feng kill two Divine Dragon Guards at late astral force.
Just then, Tan Bao arrived with his troops after hearing the news.
Seeing Börgö's severed head on the ground and a sword pressed against the crown prince's neck, he nearly lost his soul to fright.
He had only been gone a short while, yet this had happened.
"Who the hell are you? Release His Highness the Crown Prince at once!"
"Otherwise, I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!" he shouted, fierce on the outside but trembling within.
Zhao Feng snorted coldly. With a mere turn of the Golden Flame Sword, he cut Liang Yong's neck, sending blood streaming down.
"You dare!" Tan Bao cried, his expression changing drastically.
"Quick! Stand back!" Liang Yong said shakily.
The surrounding guards dared not approach again. With one hand, Zhao Feng took a Signal Arrow from inside his robes and pressed its trigger. A firework shot into the sky and burst into brilliant sparks.
This was the signal for the all-out assault.
At the same time, fires broke out throughout the city, plunging it into chaos.
Outside, the Eastern Route Army launched its assault on the city that very night!
Hearing the tidal roar of battle cries beyond the walls, Tan Bao's face turned ashen. He knew everything was over.
