Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1774 The Crown (4)

"Hurry up! Kill him!" Liang Mu shouted as he retreated. He wasn't brave enough to fight Yun Yi head-on in this state.

"General!" The remaining soldiers from Yun Yi's troops gathered around him, trying to clear a path for him.

Yun Yi looked at them and said. "Fought well, everyone."

The soldiers smiled brightly and said. "We will go first. Long Live His Highness the Second Prince!"

The soldiers ushered their last light and started pushing the enemies back.

Yun Yi fixed his eyes on Liang Mu, and he started running. His speed was incredibly fast as he darted through the enemies.

Liang Mu turned to look at Yun Yi, and his face turned pale. He urged his horse to run faster, but suddenly, the horse stopped.

The impact of the sudden stop immediately threw Liang Mu off the horse. He fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it!" Liang Mu angrily cursed at the horse. He quickly got up from the ground and saw Yun Yi charging towards him.

"Shit!" Liang Mu cursed once more and firmly grasped his spear.

"Die!" Yun Yi roared and thrust his spear forward.

Bang!

It was because Yun Yi had suffered too many injuries, and his strength had declined significantly. When the two of them clashed, Yun Yi was forced to retreat.

Liang Mu discovered this, and his confidence soared through the roof. "Hahaha! I thought you were strong… Go to hell!"

Liang Mu launched a series of attacks against Yun Yi, which forced Yun Yi to adopt a defensive position.

Liang Mu's eyes grew brighter as he saw Yun Yi continuing to retreat. He felt that victory was within his grasp now.

Bang!

Yun Yi failed to block Liang Mu's fierce attack, causing the silver spear in his hand to be knocked out of his grasp. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Yun Yi, oh, Yun Yi. You finally have this day, huh?" Liang Mu revealed an evil smile as he approached Yun Yi. "If you had been smarter and shown your loyalty to the current Yun Emperor, you wouldn't have fallen to this point."

Yun Yi's expression changed dramatically. "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Liang Mu curled his lips. Perhaps he knew that Yun Yi would definitely die today. Liang Mu didn't hide anything at all. "How do you think we know your location so well?"

Yun Yi's mind spun rapidly. He knew it was almost impossible for a spy to infiltrate his army due to the strict system… Unless… someone from within his ranks decided to expose it.

"It seems you have figured it out." Liang Mu chuckled. "The person who informed us about your whereabouts and plans is none other than your emperor. He wants to kill you."

"How could...?" Yun Yi couldn't believe it. Even though he knew that Yun Xing wanted to kill him, it should be impossible for Yun Xing to collude with the enemy.

"Ah... How sad." Liang Mu shook his head, pretending to be sad. "All of you here are loyal to the Yun Dynasty, but you have no idea that everything happening today results from your Yun Emperor's plan. From the beginning, he has been colluding with our Liang and Chu Kingdoms."

"Right. The death of the previous Yun Emperor is not a coincidence either."

Yun Yi's face turned pale. His soldiers were not exceptions. They couldn't believe that the country had betrayed them. Their faith began to crumble deep down.

"Why...?" Yun Yi uttered. He couldn't see any benefits in this matter at all.

"Who makes your second prince powerful?" Liang Mu smiled. "We have agreed to intermarriage and share benefits among the three countries. However, your second prince is too powerful. He has been interrupting our plans repeatedly."

Yun Yi immediately understood everything upon hearing this. 

Basically, Yun Xing took a fancy to the princesses of the Liang and Chu Kingdoms and came up with this plan. It perfectly aligned with his lustful personality.

The second prince naturally couldn't bear to witness the downfall of the Yun Dynasty. He began to exert his strength and disrupt Yun Xing's plans one after another. His actions certainly angered Yun Xing.

At this moment, Yun Yi realized he had made a grave mistake by leaving the second prince's side. Without Yun Yi, Zhao Long, and Zhu Ning, the second prince was left without any protection.

Yun Lintian approached Yun Yi and listened to their conversation. Although he couldn't comprehend the entire story, he was able to grasp a few key points.

"Haha... Hahaha!" Yun Yi suddenly burst into laughter as if he had gone mad. "I made a mistake again and again... it was me who killed everyone!"

Liang Mu sneered. "Heh. This is your ending."

He lifted his spear and thrust it towards Yun Yi's chest.

Yun Lintian's expression changed dramatically. He reached out to block the spear, but it was futile. The spear passed through his hand and stabbed into Yun Yi's chest.

Puff!

Blood spurted into the air, but Yun Yi didn't stop laughing. He continued to gaze at the sky like a madman.

Liang Mu frowned slightly. He pulled the spear out and aimed it at Yun Yi's neck.

"Damn it!" Yun Lintian was so angry that he couldn't do anything. However, out of instinct, he still sent out a kick towards Liang Mu.

Bang!

A powerful force suddenly struck Liang Mu and sent him flying backward.

Yun Lintian was stunned. He looked at his leg in confusion... Did he just kick him?

Yun Yi abruptly stopped laughing. He tightly grabbed the arrow and swiftly jumped to his feet before lunging at Liang Mu like a hungry wolf.

Liang Mu didn't recover from the kick. His brain was incapable of comprehending the previous assault.

"Die!" At that moment, Yun Yi landed on top of Liang Mu and inserted the arrow into his neck.

"Ugh..." Liang Mu's eyes widened in shock. Until his death, he still couldn't figure out what had hit him earlier.

Thud!

Yun Yi weakly fell back to the ground. Blood continued to pour out of his chest, draining his vitality.

Yun Lintian approached Yun Yi and placed his hand on his chest. However, he couldn't touch Yun Yi at all.

"Thank you." Yun Yi spoke while looking at Yun Lintian. "I don't know who you are... but please... tell His Highness the Second Prince that Yun Yi will pay for his sins in the next life."

Yun Lintian was stunned... Yun Yi could see him?
