Chapter 154 - 147: Fighting Through a Bloody Path
"Xia Lu is sentenced to death by dismemberment for the premeditated murder of the Jin Family’s Young Master Craig and for secretly inciting discord between the two clans; the evidence is conclusive, and the Council of Elders has ruled that the execution may proceed!" With the pronouncement of the charges, four large horses were brought into the arena.
According to the method of dismemberment, ropes were tied around the criminal’s limbs, while the other ends were fastened to horses. Driven by the horses, the criminal would be torn apart, an excruciating form of execution, especially for someone like Xia Lu who had no special professions.
At that moment, Xia Lu did not struggle in the slightest, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
Evidence? All the evidence of Xia Lu’s assassination of Craig was fabricated by the Council of Elders. Power truly was a coveted prize, and Xia Lu regretted for the first time not keeping a firm grip on it when she had controlled the military forces.
Andre and others were poised and ready, blades in hand prepared to be drawn.
"Proceed with the execution!"
"Attack!" Andre shouted, and hundreds of members of the Basa family rushed towards Xia Lu, unleashing various skills at once.
"Oh?" Hua En was very surprised, and he was not alone; everyone present had not anticipated someone would dare to interfere with Xia Lu’s execution.
"Family Head, do we need to assist?" The commander of the Hua Family’s guard approached Hua En and asked.
Hua En looked at Faku and smirked, "Brother Fa, do you think I need to help control the situation to prevent the thieves from succeeding?"
