Chapter 195 The throne has come to an end
The vast sea was endless. Ji Cheng and Wen Ning held up incense and candles to worship, but they didn't expect the incense to suddenly break and fall to the ground.
The entire court was startled by the sudden change, but no one dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads in silence. Ji Cheng calmly put the broken incense aside, reached out to take the incense handed over by Fulin, and completed the worship ceremony in an orderly manner.
To show his sincerity, Ji Cheng also ordered the ritual officer to read out the sea sacrifice speech he wrote in front of the people and the civil and military officials. The sound of the waves and the ritual officer's recitation were heard continuously, and Haichao Bay was peaceful and tranquil.
Just as the ceremony was over and everyone stood up to the chanting of the ceremonial officer, a team of heavily armored soldiers surrounded Haichao Bay. King Jing, dressed in armor and with a solemn face, walked out from among the many soldiers, with a smile on his face and a calculating look in his eyes.
"Escort!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard, Ji Liao, ordered his men to protect him with guns as soon as they were surrounded. However, King Jing did not take him seriously at all. With a wave of his hand, two men in black came over, knocked the resisting Ji Liao to the ground, and stepped on him.
The people who were watching the excitement on the sidelines saw that the soldiers of both sides were on the verge of a fight, and they knew that something big was going to happen, so they hurriedly fled the altar to avoid being affected.
At the same time, two men in black rose from both sides of the sea sacrifice platform and rushed towards Ji Cheng. Seeing this, Ji Cheng pushed Wen Ning to Chi Ming and immediately flew up to meet the two assassins.
Fulin saw this and didn't care about anything else. He flew up and met the assassin. However, when he fought with the assassin, he found that this man's martial arts skills were beyond his reach.
Ji Cheng, who was fighting the man in black, was also unable to do anything. He knew he couldn't beat the man as soon as he fought him. But he had to fight even though he couldn't. He couldn't let himself be beaten down here.
At this time, Ji Wuye, who was hiding in the dark and watching the situation, saw that Ji Cheng was losing. After comforting Wu Yu, he flew over and joined the battle.
King Jing looked at the people fighting with contempt, and in his heart he could not help but look at the masters he had invited with new eyes. Although the one with the highest martial arts skills was seriously injured in a private fight and could not help, the martial arts of the few who came with him today were also good.
Fulin was forced to retreat step by step by the assassin. His chest felt so stuffy that if he took a deep breath, blood would spurt out. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted into the darkness:
"Ji Yuan, why don't you come out and help!"
At this time, Ji Yuan, who heard Fulin's shouting, knew that he could no longer hide in the dark, so he waved his hand, and the people from the Temple of Killing jumped out and entangled with the assassin.
Seeing that the people from the Temple of the God of Death were forced to show up, King Jing smiled. He waved his hand back, and suddenly horns rang out on the vast sea. Warships gradually approached from afar. Rows of archers stood on those warships, and even a cylindrical weapon was unleashed on each ship.
"Red Cannon!"
Many officials exclaimed in surprise. The red cannon was a highly lethal weapon brought from overseas. No one expected that the dignified Prince Jing would actually use it for rebellion.
Here, Ji Wuye and Ji Cheng were dealing with a black-clad master, while Fulin and Ji Yuan were dealing with a black-clad master. They were finally able to handle it without getting hurt. When Ji Wuye saw the red-clad cannon approaching step by step, he became a little anxious.
"At this critical moment of life and death, there is no need to care about the moral code of the underworld. Watch this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a handful of powder flew out of his hand and headed straight for the black-clothed expert. At the same time, Ji Cheng poured his internal force into his palm and injected the powder into the man's body.
"bingo!"
Ji Wuye was overjoyed when he saw that the powder had all spread onto that person. He raised an eyebrow at Ji Cheng and was very satisfied with the tacit understanding between him and the king.
"mean!"
The man groaned, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He glanced at the approaching warship, gritted his teeth, and went to meet Ji Cheng again.
"Prevent the ship from approaching."
Ji Cheng shouted, and the surrounded soldiers began to take off their armor and jump into the water, trying to stop the boat from the water. Seeing all this, King Jing raised his lips and approached the altar step by step under the protection of the soldiers.
Prince Jing walked leisurely past Ji Liao, whose face was stepped on, with a gentle smile on his face.
Ji Cheng was stopped by the black-clad master and couldn't get away for a while. Wen Ning was protected by Chi Ming behind him and looked at Ji Cheng anxiously.
"Ah Ming, you promised to help Ah Cheng. Go help him."
Chi Ming looked at Ji Cheng and Ji Wuye who were fighting with the black-clad masters, snorted coldly, and did not move. At this time, Uncle Jing Wang looked at Chi Ming who did not move, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Two bangs!
Ji Cheng and Ji Wuye, who were fighting with the black-clad master, were hit one after another and knocked to the ground by the black-clad master with one palm each.
"puff!"
Ji Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and angrily said to Ji Wuye:
"What kind of poison did you use? Why isn't he dead yet?"
Ji Wuye was helpless. He didn't have any deadly poison in his hand, but some medicine to suppress internal strength. Who knew that the man's internal strength was so strong that he could fight with them for so long. On the other side, because Ji Cheng was hit, Fulin and Ji Yuan were distracted, and they were also hit by the master twice and seriously injured.
The ship in the distance gradually approached the shore, and it did not seem to slow down because of the obstruction under the water.
When Wen Ning saw Ji Cheng was injured, he ran over to help him up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Respect Uncle Wang? Shouldn't you be reflecting on your mistakes in the palace at this moment?"
Ji Cheng raised his head and looked coldly at King Jing, who was wearing armor and was confident of victory. He just looked at him gloomily.
"Ji Cheng, ask yourself, are you really worthy of being the king of Da Chong?"
King Jing did not answer but asked instead, his tone was full of excitement that could not be concealed. He waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly deployed their troops. Then he winked at an official behind him. The official got a signal from King Jing, stood up, unfolded a scroll, and chanted loudly.
"King Ji Cheng of Chongming has been in power for seventeen years. He has committed ten major crimes and countless minor crimes. His crimes are too numerous to list. The first crime was the extermination of his relatives and the concentration of power in one person. The second crime was disrespect for teachers and elders..."
After reading the whole volume, the sun had already passed the center, and all the civil and military officials were a little tired. Many people wondered, is this King Jing sick? If he wants to rebel, just rebel, why recite the ten sins? The sea sacrifice ceremony is already very complicated, and now you are so slow in your rebellion, it's really nonsense.
Finally, after reading out Ji Cheng's ten sins, King Jing threw the scroll in front of Ji Cheng and said with a big laugh:
"Ji Cheng, your reign as emperor has come to an end today. If you know the situation, issue an edict of abdication immediately. Otherwise... this Haichao Bay will be your burial place."
