The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 262: Full Moon Night, Forbidden City (Part 4)
The moon is at its zenith.
Suddenly, a figure moved under the moon.
But then two figures were seen running back from outside the city, and they went straight to the palace without stopping.
"Finally I got back."
Both of them were wearing cloaks and black scarves covering their faces, with only their eyes exposed, but the voice of the person speaking was clearly that of the current emperor.
The other person who accompanied him was a one-armed man with a strange weapon on his waist. It looked like a sword but not a sword, like a knife but not a knife. It was a hook, a farewell hook.
This matter is of great importance, and they must see it with their own eyes to feel at ease.
"Let's go to Fengtian Hall first."
The two men kept walking, and wherever they passed, they saw figures fighting.
Others shot cold arrows and used hidden weapons. The flying shadows flashed by like meteors, bringing out screams.
The two men moved up and down, overcoming layers of obstacles and turning over numerous formations, and soon arrived at the open space in front of the Fengtian Hall.
It seemed that the fighting here was over, leaving only corpses on the ground that had been hacked to death by swords and shot by arrows. Broken swords and knives fell to the ground, and the strong smell of blood was nauseating.
The two of them rushed into the Fengtian Hall one after the other, and immediately saw the person sitting on the dragon throne.
Baiyujing.
Bai Yujing had disheveled hair, and many corpses of guards lay at his feet. He was covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a very brutal battle.
He sat still until the two of them came in. Then he lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I knew you would come back."
At just one glance, Bai Yujing recognized the identities of the two.
Seeing this, the two men stopped hiding their true appearance and raised their hands to lift their hoods, revealing their true faces.
It was the current emperor and "parting hook" Yang Zheng.
Being both descendants of the Zhu family, the two men were at loggerheads with cold expressions.
The young man scolded expressionlessly, "How dare you team up with outsiders to cause such a catastrophe? I wonder how you will face the ancestors of the Zhu family after your death."
Bai Yujing sat high on the dragon throne, showing no intention of rising . He simply looked down at him and said contemptuously, "What qualifications do you have to say such things? To the people of the world, you're not even a good emperor. You built the Leopard Pavilion, spent your days enjoying yourself, neglected state affairs, lived in extravagance, and were even bewitched by powerful and treacherous officials. Hahaha, the most ridiculous thing is that you don't even have an heir. I want to see who will truly betray our ancestors in the afterlife."
When the topic of offspring was mentioned, the young man's face instantly darkened.
Bai Yujing added fuel to the fire with a sneer, "I guess it's not that you don't want to have children, but that you're already unable to... Hahaha, let me tell you, I asked Eunuch Liu to do this. The women in the Leopard Pavilion are all skilled in the art of collecting and replenishing essence. They've long since drained your vital energy. You think you can replenish it by practicing a few extraordinary skills? That's just wishful thinking."
The young man's expression suddenly returned to normal, and he said softly, "You are wrong. If not, how could I be alive until now? Why would you wait until now to take action? And for me, as long as the Zhu family inherits the throne, nothing else matters."
"If that's the case," Bai Yujing was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly turned ferocious and he growled, "Then why can't this person be me?"
The young man snorted coldly, "Why don't you go to the Taimiao and ask your ancestors yourself?"
Bai Yujing's eyes were full of unwillingness. He smiled coldly, stood up, and driven by his innate energy, he suddenly soared into the sky, broke through the roof of the temple, and disappeared into the night.
But it's not that easy.
The young man and Yang Zheng also followed closely.
The three of them chased and caught up, and saw that Bai Yujing had really arrived at the Taimiao.
The lights in the temple are always on, and tablets of the Zhu family's ancestors are enshrined on the incense table.
The flickering firelight cast a shadowy look on the three people's faces.
The young man had a complicated expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, " If you surrender, I will spare your life for the sake of our ancestors."
Bai Yujing sneered, "You want me to kneel down and beg for mercy? That's wishful thinking."
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Zheng.
This man's martial arts skills were extraordinary many years ago, and he was later recruited by the court, made a marquis for his achievements, and commanded the three departments. He became the emperor's confidant. In addition, he acquired many extraordinary skills and martial arts, so his martial arts skills must have become even more profound.
In his prime, Di Qinglin was defeated by this man, captured alive and imprisoned in the Tianlao for decades. It was also after this ordeal that Di Qinglin's strength declined instead of improving. Although he finally escaped, he was still killed by Li Muchan.
Yang Zheng stood beside the emperor. Although he looked old, his originally calm eyes gradually began to shine, and finally became as bright as stars, as if they could captivate souls. He looked straight at Bai Yujing.
He lowered his arm, and his hand was already on the weapon.
This battle is of great importance, and in order to avoid any unexpected changes, even the "Farewell Hook" was brought along.
But during the confrontation between the three, Bai Yujing's solemn eyes suddenly revealed an unsettling coldness, as well as a long-hidden murderous intent, and the wild laughter of a conspiracy that had succeeded.
The Sword of Immortality had been destroyed by Li Muchan, so Bai Yujing was left empty-handed without any weapons.
But this person suddenly raised his hand, spreading out all ten fingers. Suddenly, in the Taimiao, countless water drops gathered from all directions, flew across the air, and gathered towards Bai Yujing's palm like thousands of streams returning to a river, turning into two rolling and surging water balls.
Divine Water Skill.
Yang Zheng said nothing, and the farewell hook was already out.
The light flickered, and a dark green light shot towards Bai Yujing's throat like lightning.
Bai Yujing slowly pushed out with both hands, and the two water balls collided with each other, blocking the farewell hook like a water curtain.
The young man was also extremely surprised and frowned, saying: "You actually practiced this evil skill, do you know..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Yujing said softly with a blank expression: "He's just a eunuch, I know."
It turned out that in the secret room of the Liu Mansion, in order to make a last stand, Bai Yujing did not hesitate to ask Tan Wushuang for the practice method of "Shenshui Gong" and castrated himself, which was really a huge sacrifice.
The young man fell into a brief silence upon hearing this, his eyes filled with complexity.
Yang Zheng hooked it down, but under the sharp edge, the water curtain was like an invisible barrier that was difficult to break through.
Bai Yujing looked at his hands, feeling the true energy flowing in his body, as well as the vast and surging internal force. Although not as earth-shattering as Tan Wushuang's, it was also extraordinary.
"Hahaha," he shrugged, looking at the two of them and bursting into laughter. "You wouldn't have thought, that person would pass on a lot of the power he absorbed to me, helping me achieve extraordinary status in a short period of time, just the right amount to use to kill you."
The young man sighed, and a ball of powerful and strange power like thunder and fire surged out of his body, which was the magical skill of wedding dress.
When water and fire collided, a strong wind suddenly blew in the Taimiao.
But in a split second, all three of them felt an inexplicable palpitation, and their muscles tightened. Then, a shocking long roar suddenly sounded in the night, soaring into the sky and stirring up the wind and clouds.
Two indescribable terrifying auras suddenly rose from the ground, swept through the air, and floated towards the Fengtian Palace.
Under the bright moonlight, two figures seemed to fall from the sky and landed on the roof of the Fengtian Hall.
The moon was bright in the sky. The two men stood on a high place, their clothes fluttering and their hair flying. The collision of their energy made the roofs around them shake and the onlookers were all speechless.
Just about to fight.
