Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 16: The Nine-Tailed Fox
Seeing the first prince approaching, Shao Mingrui closed his eyes, he had resigned himself to dying at the hands of his brother.
"I made an easy choice, but you refused. Don't blame me for being mean." The first prince raised his fist, showing how powerful he was.
After a moment of silence, the first prince opened his voice. "Send your regards if you meet your mother."
Bang out!
Shao Mingrui's body bounced and crashed into the large building behind him. The loud bang as the body hit the building sounded loud, smoke gushing upwards, closing the limited view.
The first prince boasted a smile on his lips, slowly he approached the building where he buried Shao Mingrui. But when he got there he did not find the whereabouts of his third brother.
"Where is he?" The first prince frantically searched. No one knows if he's behind all this.
Even with his identity, severe punishment would still await.
Under these circumstances, the first prince tried to remain calm, he then searched around, it was possible that Shao Mingrui's body had bounced away while slamming.
However, after some time he searched, still did not find Shao Mingrui's body.
Arg's!
The first prince roared furiously, leaving the scene with a turbulent feeling.
***
In a building, a young man was trying to sit Shao Mingrui down. Shao Mingrui's condition was so bad that he was unconscious.
A moment passed, Shao Mingrui came to a realization. Slowly the man blinked his eyes, looking around. He remembered that he was in a dangerous situation.
But why is he in a room now, and he's still alive. Is this real?
Along with that a young man approached him. "Drink this and the prince will be fine."
Shao Mingrui turned his head, seeing the figure before him, he rounded his eyes in surprise.
Shao Mingrui had not yet opened his voice, the young man turned around and left. But he did not return long.
"Sorry, for not believing what you're saying. I really didn't expect first brother to be so cruel." Shao Mingrui said with a guilty face.
Heh...
"I'm Zhou Fan not going to bother about it. Besides, because my prince got what I was looking for, even if it was just one piece ...."
" ... Eighth level crystal beasts are very important to me. I'm even willing to risk my life to get it."
Shao Mingrui fell silent, he did not know exactly what this young man wanted to do against an eighth level crystal beast, until he was willing to risk his life.
But he had no right to interfere too deeply, because he knew some things were not supposed to be discussed.
"What are you going to do, maybe the first prince is going to go after the prince because he knows who he really is." Zhou Fan sat next to Shao Mingrui.
Shao Mingrui smiled wryly. "Certainly return to the Capital, for whatever there is my home."
Zhou Fan frowned, he thought the man beside him was really stupid, didn't his brother want to kill him, why did he keep coming back.
Too many people were paying attention, especially if considering he was the first-person prince most likely to occupy the seat of the imperial throne.
"What if you get back together with me?" Shao Mingrui invited Zhou Fan with an enthusiastic face.
Zhou Gan shook his head. "I have to look for an ice-elemental crystal beast, besides having to look for the existence of a teacher. I can't stay in one place too long."
Hem...
"Actually in the palace warehouse there was still an ice-element crystal beast. However it was an item that was guarded very tightly, as it was a ninth level crystal beast."
Shao Mingrui's words made Zhou Fan turn his head with a face of disbelief. "Beast ninth level?"
"It may be very hard to believe, but long ago the Shao Empire had an ancestor with the power of a god-level fighter, it was he who obtained the crystal beast ...." Shao Mingrui told me a little about the history of the crystal beast
Zhou Fan did not look so enthusiastic. Although it was an item he needed, it was not necessarily possible for him to obtain it, given that the ninth level crystal beast was an imperial treasure.
"We can try to get it, with my help, aren't you sure you can reach for the crystal?"
Zhou Fan looked at Shao Mingrui strangely. "Why would the prince want to do that, what advantage did the prince get?"
Of course Zhou Fan felt this strange, suddenly Shao Mingrui who was a member of the Shao Empire offered an advantage just like that, there was no way there was no reciprocity that he had to do.
"You saved my life, for this reason alone I think that's enough. Besides, I want you back not as a bodyguard, but as my brother."
Shao Mingrui suddenly embraced Zhou Fan's neck, making the young man push on spontaneously. "Alright, I'll come along, for the sake of that crystal beast I'll do anything."
One week passed, in the palace of the Shao Empire there was a stir, as the princes who had previously gone to the City of Xue, returned with bad news.
"How did this happen?" Emperor Shao stood up and said loudly, he held the first prince and the eighth prince as the two surviving princes.
The five coffins were in the middle of the hall, it was the corpse of the prince who was killed in Xue City.
Although the emperor had asked, the two princes were silent as if they did not have the courage to say.
"First prince, what really happened?" The emperor came down from the throne, walking closer to his first son.
The first prince looked down. After a while of silence, he opened his mouth.
"This was all because of the third prince, he had planned all of this from the very beginning. It turned out that the news of the attack in Xue City was merely an excuse, the truth was to set up an ambush."
"Brazed kid! I didn't expect one of my sons to be so cruel." Emperor Shao returned to his place of greatness.
The eighth prince-Shao Ziyu frowned, within her face she was smiling sinisterly. It was true that he did not expect that his eldest brother was a nine-tailed fox, very good at disguising himself.
But if he dismantled all this, he would not get what, because it was clear that his emperors were more inclined to the first prince.
Let all of this be borne by the third prince, it did not harm him either.
"Your Majesty, this cannot be allowed. The third prince is still out there, we must seek justice for the princes who have passed away. Arresting him and giving him the proper punishment" One of the old figures said from his seat, he was an imperial advisor.
Simultaneously the door of the hall opened, revealing two people who were walking in quiet steps. "No need to search, I'm here."
