Chapter 1153: Encircle!

When He Tian received the news, he just so happened to be leading a line of soldiers himself nearby, so he naturally came faster than Dragon Saliva Guard’s captain, Yu Xiu.

After Morning Cloud Restaurant sent out the message, there was no need for the crown prince to give orders.

Upon receiving the news that the crown prince consort was in the royal capital, no matter whether it was the Hidden Night Pavilion, the Dragon Saliva Guard, or the royal guard, they immediately split up, automatically bringing men to carry out a city-wide search and lockdown.

If the crown prince consort was still able to escape from right beneath their noses like this, then who knew how His Highness the Crown Prince was going to viciously torment them pitiful people later!

As He Tian was coincidentally leading a line of soldiers nearby, he immediately hurried to Morning Cloud Restaurant after receiving the secret report.

They expanded their search from the restaurant. As expected, before long, they saw Ding Yun planning to leave furtively with the crown prince consort, and they immediately shouted for them to stop.

“Why do you think you can make me halt?” Ding Yun scoffed.

He Tian was filled with anger. “You brat, it’s you, right! The person who hurt Shopkeeper Xu, Ding Yun! I advise you not to act recklessly and quickly let go of our crown prince consort. Surrender and don’t put up a fight.”

As he spoke, a group of government troops had already charged over and surrounded Ding Yun and Qiao Mu. The crowd dispersed, afraid of getting hurt from the possible crossfire.

“Just with this rabble of yours? You want to keep me, Ding Yun, from leaving?” He sneered.

“You’re talking rather big! All of you, step aside. Let me see what this brat is made of!” He Tian drew the iron saber from his waist, and with a swing, the energy from the sword rushed at Ding Yun.

With a snicker, Ding Yun narrowed his eyes and coldly spat, “Very good.” Afterwards, he lightly pushed Qiao Mu aside and grabbed a government soldier nearby to swiftly block this attack for him.

That government soldier could feel the piercingly cold saber energy. If He Tian hadn’t recalled his momentum, then his head would presumably be sliced in half.

Even so, it made that common soldier break out in a cold sweat. When he reached up to feel his head, he found out that a large swatch of his hair had been sliced off, leaving the top of his head bald.

Ding Yun broke out in laughter, and he swiftly snatched the long spear from that common soldier, flinging him to a nearby table in passing. Subsequently, that government soldier cried out in pain as he tumbled to the ground before getting helped up by his companions.

Upon seeing that he was so sly and capricious, playing tricks with his soldiers like this, He Tian couldn’t help but be enraged.

No sooner said than done, He Tian’s second and third strikes, which embodied a layer-11 body cultivator’s characteristic power, quickly reached Ding Yun.

Nevertheless, Ding Yun blocked with the long spear, and he praised with taunting eyes, “Good swordsmanship.”

Because He Tian’s swordsmanship focused on speed, he could not help but secretly admire this young man’s outstanding cultivation when he saw Ding Yun easily blocking his strikes while talking.

As he was a coarse fellow, he had nothing to be unconvinced about. If he could defeat him, then he could. If he could not defeat him, then he couldn’t.

Although he was inferior in skill, he could not back down a single step!

The most pressing matter at the moment was to rescue the crown prince consort. If that was not possible, then they needed to keep them here for now and await the crown prince’s arrival!

He did not know what had happened to the crown prince consort either. She looked at them icily, seemingly not even recognizing him, too.

Nor did he know if this brat had done something to her that caused her to be in this dull-witted state.

While pondering over this, He Tian had already exchanged over a hundred moves with Ding Yun. After getting forced back, He Tian couldn’t help but be a bit agitated.

He hadn’t expected that this brat would possess such profound cultivation at his young age. If this continued on, he was afraid that he would lose to him after exhausting his stamina.
