The knife shattered!

The sound of breaking was loud in the vast and quiet back hall!

"My knife!" Empress Ming He's expression changed.

She hurriedly picked up the short blade, just at that moment.

The shattered short blade completely fell apart, and all the fragments kept dropping to the ground.

In the end, only the knife handle was left in Empress Ming He's hand!

"Your Majesty, is he still awake? Did he intentionally use a Dao Skill or Profound Qi to break your knife?" Chen Sisi guessed.

Empress Ming He shook her head,

"Impossible, if he were awake and knew I wanted to kill him,

it's impossible he would dare not open his eyes and not resist before the knife reached his heart!"

Chen Sisi tilted her head.

"Then what's going on?"

Empress Ming He discarded the remaining knife handle in her hand.

"His physique is very strong!

So an ordinary knife cannot easily harm him!

Instead, it would be shattered by the recoil force!"

With that, she stretched out her hand and took out another blade!

This blade was longer than the previous short blade!

Moreover, this blade was sharper than the last short blade.

The blade also shimmered with a strange sheen, giving off a chilling sensation!

"I don't believe your physique is as hard as this knife!" Empress Ming He made her move again.

The blade edge approached Yang Yan's heart and then pressed against it.

Crack!

Once again, a crisp sound echoed, and the blade in Empress Ming He's hand was covered with numerous cracks!

From top to bottom, not a single part was intact!

"It's shattered again!" Chen Sisi exclaimed with wide eyes.

She thought this blade seemed sharp and unusual!

Yet in front of Yang Yan, it still couldn't hold until the moment to break through Yang Yan's physique!

"Shattered!" Empress Ming He discarded the knife, which was now only a handle.

With a stretch of her hand, another blade appeared!

This blade was black as ink, surging with dense Evil Qi.

Evidently, this was a treasured knife!

A blade that had killed many!

Its appearance caused the temperature in the back hall to drop significantly!

Even Chen Sisi shivered!

"Such a cold knife!"

She was somewhat afraid of this blade!

"This blade belonged to the Great General Zhuo Yi of the Vanguard Camp, it drank much blood and killed even more!

The Evil Qi within has solidified into substance!

I don't believe he can withstand this knife!" Empress Ming He said coldly.

This blade was even longer than the previous one.

Almost the length of an adult's arm, the blade was wide and extremely sharp!

"This time, I will cut open even your stomach!" Empress Ming He showed her killing intent.

The blade edge approached Yang Yan's chest and abdomen, then pressed down.

Crack!

Another crisp sound, and Empress Ming He's arm holding the knife went numb.

Her eyes widened in anger!

"It's shattered again!" Chen Sisi exclaimed.

Empress Ming He nodded.

"Yes, shattered again!"

She raised the blade, revealing numerous cracks on it.

The Evil Qi within had also been dispersed.

However, the blade had not completely shattered and was still holding together.

"This knife may not have been able to forcefully cut open his body, but it hasn't completely shattered like the first two!

This proves his physique has a limit!

As long as the knife is strong enough, it can definitely cut him open!" Empress Ming He discarded the knife again.

This blade was useless!

She reached out her hand, and two emerald green twin blades appeared.

Holding them in her hand, torrents of Sword Intent flowed from the blades.

The Sword Intent moved like a snake, almost tangible!

"These are fine blades!" Chen Sisi couldn't help but praise.

Even she could see the quality, proving just how remarkable they were!

"Twin Dragon Life-craving Blade, this was once my favorite treasure blade!

It's a pity I later found a better blade and abandoned it.

But it has accompanied me for a long time!

It once cut down cultivators of the Immortal Realm!" Empress Ming He said as she caressed the blade.

"Old friends, it's up to you!"

She said, holding the twin blades and approaching Yang Yan.

These were extremely curved short blades, their edges like crescent moons!

"This time, I don't believe your physique can withstand it!" Empress Ming He said indifferently.

The blade fell, nearing Yang Yan's heart.

As it was about to touch, two serpent-shaped Sword Intents formed on the blade surface.

They swirled and tore downwards.

Accompanied by a sawing sound, it was like cutting wood, and then a crack was heard!

The twin blades shattered into powder, scattering down.

The two serpent-shaped Sword Intents on the blade also shattered in mid-air, creating heavy ripples.

Empress Ming He's hands trembled, and the knife handles fell to the ground.

Shattered again!

She looked at her palms, now covered with fine cracks.

Pain!

"Hiss!" She inhaled sharply.

Quickly, she took out an elixir and swallowed it.

After taking the elixir, she relaxed a bit.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Chen Sisi asked cautiously.

Empress Ming He stared at Yang Yan's physique.

"I'm fine, it's just that his physique..."

She moved closer and looked at Yang Yan's heart area.

"The Sword Intent stirred him, yet he wasn't hurt at all, not even a scratch!

This physique is indeed strong!" Empress Ming He was shocked.

Chen Sisi, who had witnessed Yang Yan's physique, wholeheartedly agreed!

"Your Majesty, this blade shattered too...

Maybe it's better to let it go!"

So many blades were broken, yet Yang Yan remained unharmed.

It was they who lost so many great blades, suffering significant losses!

"Not doing it? Are you joking with me?

Do you know how much I have sacrificed for today's matter!" Empress Ming He said fiercely.

Spirit Stones, the favor of King Ping Jian, and those miraculous leaves!

Including the several great blades now broken!

"It's all because the Saint Emperor doesn't have only one son for my prince!

If he had fewer sons, I would discuss it with him today.

Let him take action and replace my son's Root Bone!" Empress Ming He said angrily.

Emperor Tianlu had many sons, and Crown Prince Li Dongchen was just one of them.

Moreover, Li Dongchen wasn't the most favored son of Emperor Tianlu!

So if Empress Ming He told Emperor Tianlu about Yang Yan killing her Fourth Prince, Li Meng, asking Emperor Tianlu to kill Yang Yan,

and dig out Yang Yan's Root Bone for Li Dongchen,

Emperor Tianlu would never easily agree!

Yang Yan's Root Bone was too good, and even if Emperor Tianlu gave it away, it wouldn't be to Li Dongchen!

He had several beloved sons, leading to a competition!

As for Li Dongchen, his chances of winning that competition were very slim,

not to mention that Crown Prince Li Dongchen was so righteous and benevolent!

*The competition for Root Bone might not even start before Li Dongchen would voluntarily withdraw, unwilling to take Yang Yan's Root Bone!*"

*"My prince, so kind-hearted!*

*This... is not a good thing!" Empress Ming He thought to herself.*

She knew of Li Dongchen's kindness, which was why she had made him unconscious.

Otherwise, if Li Dongchen knew about this, he would never agree!

*"If only the Fourth Prince, Li Meng, were still alive, he was so ruthless!*

Unfortunately, he's dead, and now there's only Chen'er left!

For him, I must succeed with this matter.

Even if in the end, I have to give up everything!" Empress Ming He said as she opened her mouth.

From within her head emerged a jade green blade, instantly filling the entire back hall.

A greenish serpent phantom manifested in the void.

"This, this is Conception!

A blade infused with Sword Intent!" Chen Sisi said, astonished.

Empress Ming He gripped the knife handle.

"Yes, this is a blade I refined many years ago by slaying a thousand-year-old Green Poison Snake with its soul!

This blade is called Green Snake Gu!

With this blade, I am determined to cut open his physique and extract his heart!"

She wielded the knife, showing a sinister smile!

"Why are you smiling so insidiously? What do you intend to do to me?" Suddenly, a man's voice echoed in the back hall.
