The news of the five princes entering the imperial city spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, and all the people immediately rejoiced, and some even set off firecrackers on the streets to celebrate.

The army passed through the streets, and the people on both sides lined the streets to welcome them.

Seeing this scene, the fifth prince was full of emotion in his heart, and secretly vowed that he must become a Ming monarch like his father.

At this moment, a horse galloped from Xicheng District, and when he saw the five princes' men and horses, the man immediately turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee.

"Tell Your Highness that the West City Gate has been taken. ”

The five princes were overjoyed, and under the protection of everyone, they immediately rushed to the West City Gate to reorganize their troops.

This time, he took the West City Gate and did not lose many troops.

After all, the people stationed here were originally the Imperial Forest Army, which belonged to Ma Zhong's old department.

When they heard that the East City Gate had surrendered, and that the three princes had not condemned a single person, the soldiers at the West City Gate had already shaken their hearts and did not resist much.

Soon, the news of the recovery of the south and north gates came one after another, and the morale was greatly shaken.

The five princes temporarily stayed in the base camp of the Royal Forest Army at the West City Gate, and only sent two captains to reorganize their troops.

The entire imperial city, overnight, was almost completely owned by the five princes, and the situation was very good.

At this moment, Xue Jian and Chu Yiyi had returned to the martial arts hall and began to close their doors and concentrate on cultivation.

The sevenfold realm of Danyuan was not enough for Xue Jian to have enough confidence to defeat the three princes, and the appearance of those two assassins made Xue Jian feel a bad feeling.

Maybe the other party still has a secret hole card, which has never been played.

On the northern border, the general Ishihara led 200,000 troops, and in just one day, he had recovered two cities.

Just as he was about to drive the army of Dongli Huyanqi out of the border of Dayu in one go, an eight-hundred-mile urgent report arrived in his hands.

His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated, the three princes plotted to usurp the throne, the imperial city was in crisis, and the general returned quickly.

Upon receiving this urgent report, Ishihara was furious and led 50,000 troops that night and hurried back to the imperial city.

The northern frontier is not far from the imperial city, which is 2,800 miles, and at the speed of the vanguard army, with only dry food and no heavy supplies, it can be rushed back in five or six days.

At the same time, the city lords of various cities have also received the news, and they have counted their soldiers and horses and rushed to the imperial city to rescue.

The armies of all sides are on the road, as long as the five princes guard the gate of the four directions, the three princes will definitely be defeated.

At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the palace, the third prince, who had almost completely recovered from his injuries after taking the pill, was in an extremely heavy mood.

He understood that if he dragged on like this, he would end up trapped in the palace.

Looking at the two old men with black and white crescent marks on their eyebrows, the third prince said in a deep voice.

"As a junior grandmaster of the Guiyuan Realm, you can't even kill a martial artist of the True Vein Realm, and the Dark Moon Hall is nothing more than that. ”

The two old men looked calm, and they didn't have any anger because of the words of the third prince.

"He has thousands of men and horses around him to protect him, and even if we can kill him, we will have to pay a greater price than the remnants of the Nine Dragons, which is not worth it. ”

The third prince thought about it and knew very well that it was impossible to kill the fifth prince now.

He said.

"That being the case, the deal is a failure.

However, if you help me break through to the Chaoyuan Realm, after I kill someone, I will still present the Nine Dragons Stone Tablet with both hands. ”

The two old men glanced at each other and frowned.

"Someone, we can help you kill them. ”

The third prince shook his head.

"This person can only be killed by me, you just need to help me break through to the Chaos Yuan Realm, the sooner the better. ”

The last time I fought with Xue Jian, the two of them were both defeated.

The third prince had already regarded Xue Jian as an opponent, and he had a feeling that if he didn't break through to the Chaoyuan Realm, he would definitely lose the next battle.

The two old men pondered for a moment and nodded together.

Now that the strength of the three princes has reached the ninefold peak of the Dan Yuan Realm, and they are one step away from the Mixed Yuan Realm, it is not difficult for them to help him break through.

Two days passed, and with the help of the two old men of the Dark Moon Palace, the three princes really successfully broke through to the Mixed Yuan Realm, and their strength increased greatly.

Now in terms of strength, he no longer has any advantage to speak of, but he still has a hole card.

His teacher, the national teacher Li Mi.

As long as the third prince can kill Xue Jian and get the Nine Dragons Remnant Monument in his hand, Li Mi will completely stand on his side.

It is rumored that the unfathomable national teacher can resist a 100,000-strong army with the strength of one person, without a single soldier, as long as there is a national teacher to help, it is not impossible to turn the tables in a desperate situation.

The third prince showed a gleam in his eyes, got up and walked to the desk, and wrote a battle post with a pen.

In the evening, someone sent a battle post to Xue Jian, who was cultivating in the martial arts hall.

Xue Jian opened the post, and only a simple sentence was written on it. "Tomorrow at noon, at the gate of the palace, there will be a battle of life and death. ”

His expression grew heavy.

It stands to reason that the third prince is still seriously injured in bed now, but since he sent this battle post, it means that he has absolute confidence.

After cultivating day and night in the past two days, Xue Jian had just broken through to the Danyuan Eightfold, and before noon tomorrow, he wanted to break through another realm, which was unlikely.

After thinking about it, Xue Jian sank his mind into his mind, the system panel opened, and the balance of virtual currency was more than 3.9 million.

Since he is a little behind in the realm, if he wants to be foolproof, he has to do everything possible to improve his combat power.

Xue Jian chose to upgrade his exercises and martial arts without hesitation, and deducted 200,000 virtual coins in an instant.

Exercise price: 10,000

Martial arts price: 50,000

The price of exercises and martial arts immediately increased tenfold, and although the price was very expensive, he didn't feel any distress and bought one copy each.

Xue Jian looked through the exercises casually, and it didn't have much effect at present.

This is an intermediate-level exercise book, which records the cultivation methods of the Mixed Yuan Realm, the True Yuan Realm, and the Returning Yuan Realm, and perfectly connects his introductory exercises and primary exercises.

Xue Jian put the exercises aside first, opened the martial arts book and looked through it carefully.

When he saw this martial arts level, Xue Jian's face suddenly showed excitement.

Ground-level low-level martial arts.

Martial arts are divided into four major levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, each level is divided into low, medium and high, top four levels, most of the martial arts that circulate on the mainland are Xuanhuang level, ground level martial arts are very rare, and the power is far beyond the Xuanhuang level martial arts.

Xue Jian looked through it with excitement.

This martial art is called Soul Stealer, and after cultivating to the end of the world, it is extremely domineering and can extract other people's souls at will.

Even if it's just a small success, it can temporarily capture the soul of others, making it impossible for people to resist.

Xue saw a pang in his heart, this martial art is a bit like an evolved version of the floating light, it is all an attack on the soul.

This kind of advanced martial art, Xue Jian can't comprehend it in a short time, but there is a genius by his side, maybe he can.
