Ghost of the Pirate

It's a pity that it is useless to regret at this time.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose, not to mention that the strength of the guard itself is not as good as Zhang Tianming.

During Zhang Tianming's frequent attacks, because of his injury, he slowed down a little to resist. Zhang Tianming seized the opportunity and slashed at his left arm.

"Ah!" With a scream, the guard's left arm was cut off, and the blood flowed profusely immediately. The guard showed despair, knowing that there was no chance of survival, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Zhang Tianming desperately.

Zhang Tianming flipped his left hand, and a dark green flame appeared in his hand, and then he slapped the dark green flame at the rushing guard with lightning speed.

In an instant, the guard was covered by dark green flames, and he turned into a burning man of fire.

The guard's howling sound spread throughout the palace, and it didn't take long for it to be burned into a pile of ashes by the soul refining flame.

King Edmond watched the horrific scene outside, and his whole body was trembling with fright.

His right hand clutched his chest vigorously, and his heart was beating extremely fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

At this time, Zhang Tianming outside looked around for a week, and found that no one could resist him anymore.He chose a direction at random and walked towards the building in front of him.

Coincidentally, the location chosen by Zhang Tianming was exactly the bedroom where Edmund was.

Edmond looked at Zhang Tianming who was getting closer and closer. He was covered in sweat and swallowed unconsciously.

I wanted to turn around and run away, but my body couldn't move as if it had been filled with lead.

Soon Zhang Tianming came to the bedroom, he opened the door and entered.After looking around, he found Edmond shivering in the corner.

When he saw the clothes on Edmund, he knew he had found the right owner.

Walking slowly to Edmond's side, he used the blade of the death scythe in his hand to push aside Edmond's long golden hair.

Looking at the embarrassed Edmond, he asked, "Are you the king of the Spire Kingdom?"

When the cold blade of the death scythe swept across Edmond's face, the bloody smell and death breath on the blade made Edmond pale in fright.

He replied tremblingly: "Yes, I am Edmond. Please don't hurt me, sir. I will give you whatever you need."

"I want your life." Zhang Tianming said in a cold tone.

"No, no, please spare me. As long as you spare my life, you can ask me to do anything."

At this time, Edmund lay on the ground humbly and begged for mercy, completely losing the majesty of the previous king of a country.

Looking at Edmond in such a disgusting and embarrassing state, Zhang Tianming also lost his previous desire to torture him.He decided to give Edmond a happy time, and raised the death scythe in his hand to finish him with a single blow.

Edmond seemed to have sensed Zhang Tianming's killing intent, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

But Zhang Tianming didn't stop what he was doing. He swung the death scythe in his hand, and saw that the blade of the death scythe was about to cut off Edmond's neck.

"Wait a minute, keep people under the knife." A slightly familiar old man's voice came over.

Zhang Tianming paused, and looked into the distance. It turned out to be the Duke of Tower Guard, who was running towards here at a fast pace.

And Edmund felt the cold blade of the death scythe on his neck, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. His body lay stiffly on the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

After the Duke of Tower Guard came running quickly, he took a breath.

"Your Excellency must not kill His Majesty the King, we can discuss anything."

Zhang Tianming frowned as he looked at the Duke who was guarding the tower.

"Why can't I kill him? You know that he poisoned Su Ling. If I hadn't rescued him in time, Su Ling's consequences would have been disastrous."

The Duke of Tower Guard was also surprised when he heard it.He didn't expect the king to poison an 8-year-old child, it was indeed too poisonous.

"It's really wrong for His Majesty the King to poison children. But he is the king of a country after all. Once he is killed, the country will experience huge shocks, and there will be unpredictable consequences."

"What does that have to do with me? He is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. It is wishful thinking to let his son marry my apprentice. What's more, he still bullies my apprentice's family. As a master, if I don't stand up for my apprentice, I was in vain as a teacher."

Seeing Zhang Tianming's refusal, the Duke Guarding the Tower eagerly persuaded him, "Don't be so anxious, hasn't it caused too much consequence? Besides, your apprentice's family is also from the Spire Kingdom. I don't think they want to see it either. There has been a major upheaval in the country, and His Majesty the King will certainly compensate them."

Edmond also interjected immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely compensate the Marquis of Nanta and the others, and I will dissolve the marriage contract between the rebellious son and Susan. I also have a natural devil fruit in my palace. I will give it to you as a gift of atonement."

Zhang Tianming looked at the Duke who guarded the tower, and then at Edmond, thinking that his apprentice's family would continue to live in this country, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will spare your life today, and you send me that devil fruit to Nanta Marquis Mansion."

Then he put away the death scythe, flew into the air again, and flew towards Nanta Marquis's Mansion.

Watching Zhang Tianming disappear, the Duke of Tower Guard hurriedly helped up Edmond who was still lying on the ground.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly. Are you injured? I'll call the doctor to check you up immediately."

Edmund was still in shock at this moment, and when he saw Zhang Tianming leave, he clasped the palm of the Duke who guarded the tower tightly with both hands.

"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, the Duke, I would have been in trouble this time."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. This is what a courtier should do."

After the buffer just now, Edmond has recovered a little at this time. He looked at the palace that was almost in ruins in front of him, and felt extremely distressed in his heart.

Thinking of the humiliation just now, the heart that was originally filled with fear gradually burned with flames of anger.

Since he became the king of a country, he has never been so humiliated. His life was threatened with a knife on his neck. This was definitely the most humiliating day in his life.The fear in his eyes slowly turned to anger.

The Duke of Tower Guard had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, and he could see Edmond's thoughts at a glance, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although we have different political views, there may be some conflicts in many cases, but the ultimate goal of both of us is to maintain this country well. But that person is not something we can offend, for the sake of national stability, I hope His Majesty can put this matter aside."

After Edmond gritted his teeth, he nodded slowly.

"I'm tired and need to rest. This is my token. You take it to the treasure house in the palace and take out that devil fruit and give it to him."

Edmund took out a token made of gold from his arms, handed it to the Duke of Tower Guard, turned around and left.

The Duke of Tower Guard also sighed as he watched Edmond leave. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Tianming's strength was not weak, and he could just use him to weaken the king's strength. This move was really good at driving away tigers and wolves.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that Zhang Tianming's tiger was a descending tiger, which not only crushed Edmond, but also almost caused a national shock.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, and walked towards the palace treasure house.
