Chapter 213 Venting Frustration
"Wang Taoshan, don't question my decision!"

Zhu Chengwu's next words were exactly what everyone present expected.

Wang Taoshan, the Yangshen, really hit the horse's leg when he tried to flatter it.

"My Lord, I..."

Wang Taoshan bowed and wanted to explain, but Zhu Chengwu didn't want to listen.

Therefore, Wang Taoshan had just uttered a few words when he was interrupted by Zhu Chengwu with a wave of his hand.

This is Zhu Chengwu now. Yangshen and Grandmaster have no face or special status in front of Zhu Chengwu.

"Cui Shuyun, I don't care what you think or what your purpose is, but you'd better not be too smart!"

Then, Zhu Chengwu turned to look at Cui Shuyun and said in a deep voice.

Cui Shuyun, the wife and Yangshen who had just reminded everyone present with words, was unsurprisingly reminded by Zhu Chengwu.

Fortunately, Zhu Chengwu did not force Wang Taoshan and Cui Shuyun to betray this time.

Sure enough, they said it!

How could there be someone in the world who always has many enemies and few friends?

The Duke of Qi was indeed just an exception.

"Shuyun understands! Shuyun just doesn't want to let those ignorant people who think they are smart waste the Marquis' time!

Whatever the Marquis wants to do, he has his own reasons!

We just have to follow orders!"

Cui Shuyun bowed in response to Zhu Chengwu's reminder.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Cui Shuyun's words.

Cui Shuyun, the kind-hearted person who was reminding others the moment before, was extremely "evil dictator" in her remarks at this moment, calling many people, including Wang Taoshan, as ignorant and self-righteous people.

But they changed their minds and realized that such speeches were truly the essence!
Not only did he express a good attitude, revealing an attitude of following Zhu Chengwu's lead in everything, but even the words he used were actively moving towards Zhu Chengwu.

I learned it, I really learned it...

When it comes to flattery, Cui Shuyun is the one to look at!

With remarks like this, it is no wonder that Cui Shuyun has always been able to hold on to the position of Zhu Chengwu's legal wife, whether more than 20 years ago or after Zhu Chengwu reappeared on earth, leaving all those with ill intentions, including Zhao Qingya of the Zhao family, helpless!

Moreover, after Zhu Chengwu reappeared in the world, this time with Zhu Chengwu's help, he became a Yang God.

Sure enough, anyone who can achieve extraordinary success must have his or her extraordinary qualities.

In the eyes of many people, it was all thanks to Zhu Chengwu that Cui Shuyun was able to achieve Yang Shen.

When a person's light is too bright, the light of the people around him will always be covered up!
Just as the stars around the sun barely emit their own light, they will also be considered by the world as being blessed by the sun.

Cui Shuyun is in the same situation now!

Zhu Chengwu's brilliance was so bright that he attracted almost everyone's attention!

Cui Shuyun naturally became the star that was blessed by the sun and barely had a little light.

However, although almost everyone present believed that Cui Shuyun could achieve her current success and become a Yang God, it was all because of Zhu Chengwu.

But most people present did not look down on Cui Shuyun. Instead, they only had endless admiration for her.

The "sea of ​​people" following Zhu Chengwu are all people with flexible bottom lines. From their perspective, being able to borrow the power of others and let others help them improve their strength is an extremely high-level ability.

For Cui Shuyun who has such high-level abilities, they only have admiration and jealousy, no disdain or contempt.

At the same time, they were secretly relieved that Cui Shuyun had such ability.

Zhu Chengwu is too difficult to approach and understand!
Now there is Cui Shuyun who can accurately read Zhu Chengwu's mental changes. This is a good thing for those who follow Zhu Chengwu!
"Marquis Fu'an, you actually want to personally kill the entire Ming Palace. Do you have any dignity and grace as a king?"

Listening to the conversation between Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun, and watching the "sea of ​​people" gradually leaving under the leadership of Cui Shuyun, the Duke of Qi could not help it and shouted at Zhu Chengwu who was standing still.

"I have never been a king, I am just a warrior!
Since I was a child, I have not received any special education for the heir to the throne. All I have received is the teaching that a common man's anger will cause blood to splatter five steps away!"

Facing the rebuke from the Duke of Qi, Zhu Chengwu simply sneered.

"Good, good! A good one who is not a king, but a warrior!
I am also a warrior, today let me experience the power of the legendary supreme grandmaster!
Look, how much has Brother Chengwu improved compared to 28 years ago?"

The Duke of Yan stepped past the Duke of Qi who was choked by Zhu Chengwu's reply, stood up and said so.

The Duke of Yan, who had already prepared himself for the possibility of dying in battle, behaved much better outside the court hall than the Duke of Qi, who had already surrendered to Zhu Chengwu in advance but was forced to change his position by Zhu Chengwu.

Just now, the cousin and senior, the Duke of Qi, had been trying to seek a chance to survive. Driven by various fluke mentality, some of his actions were like those of a jumping clown.

The younger nephew of the Duke of Yan remained calm and silent, appearing to be serious and fearless of life and death.

Now the Duke of Yan is directly challenging Zhu Chengwu, and he looks tragic and heroic.

These performance differences cannot explain how much worse the Duke of Qi is than the Duke of Yan!

Everything is just a difference caused by different psychological preparations.

"A swarm of ants!"

Looking at the tragic Duke of Yan who stepped forward, Zhu Chengwu turned his eyes and glanced at all the people opposite him, his tone calm and disdainful.

Although these were insulting and contemptuous words, when they came out of Zhu Chengwu's mouth, it sounded as if they were the most normal facts.

Apart from Zhu Chengwu, no one else has such confidence in his martial arts as to treat the grandmaster as an ant.

"Innate Qi!"

"So close to the end of the world!"

"Scorching Sun Fiery Palm!"

After Zhu Chengwu finished speaking, he took a step forward without any hesitation and rushed towards the square formation formed by the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Yan and others.

Zhu Chengwu is angry now and needs to vent urgently.

So Zhu Chengwu drove away all the people around him and stopped launching long-range attacks.

Zhu Chengwu needs close combat to vent the anger in his heart, and he also needs to use the fire in his hands to extinguish the fire in his heart.

"Well done!"

Duke Yan shouted angrily and rushed towards Zhu Chengwu.

Duke Yan's whole body was filled with internal energy, and invisible energy surrounded him. His loose clothes seemed to be filled with gas and expanded to the limit.

Immediately, the royal forbidden technique that Duke Yan had prepared long ago erupted, and tiny streams of blood seeped out from the capillaries of Duke Yan's body, forming a blood mist that enveloped Duke Yan's body.

Although failure is inevitable, Duke Yan can choose how to face failure.

"Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Fist!"

Duke Yan clenched his fists and pushed this unique martial art passed down from the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty to its maximum power.

The current Duke of Yan is completely different from the one he was twenty-eight years ago!

When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes, let alone that twenty-eight years have passed!
Twenty-eight years ago, after being defeated by Zhu Chengwu, who had not yet achieved mastery, Duke Yan knew shame and then became brave, and put all his energy into martial arts. In addition, Zhu Chengwu disappeared, and Zhu Chengzhi took over.

As Zhu Chengzhi's most important supporter, Duke Yan had almost unlimited access to the Ming Dynasty's cultivation resources.

In this context, after twenty-eight years of practice, Duke Yan not only cultivated the basic methods to the point where he was only one step away from becoming a top master, but he also perfected several unique martial arts.

It can be said that if Zhu Chengwu did not reappear in the world.

The Duke of Yan was the clan leader who met all the expectations of the Zhu royal family.

With a foundation that is only one step away from becoming a top master and several unique martial arts at the advanced stage, Duke Yan's current combat power is at the same level as Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai in the Sui Dynasty, and Zhu Yuyan, the leader of Yinkui Sect.

It is no less inferior to the three great national masters of the Baishan and Heitu and Yuan dynasties that were separated from the Qing dynasty.

Moreover, the Duke of Yan is extremely young, having just passed the age of 60. Given the life span of the Grand Master, if nothing unexpected happens, the Duke of Yan can still guard the Ming Dynasty for more than 60 years.

It is enough to wait until the next generation of Zhu clan leader grows up and make a smooth transition.

It’s a pity that there is still a Zhu Chengwu in this world.

This greatly reduced the achievements and prestige of Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi.

It can be said that if righteousness exists, how can there be martial arts?
Boom~~
The Blazing Sun Fiery Palm and the Sun Moon Mountains and Rivers Fist collided, and the Duke of Yan was immediately blasted back.

"Not bad, not bad! Your current combat power is almost equal to my level 25 years ago!"

Looking at the Duke of Yan flying backwards, Zhu Chengwu did not choose to chase him, but stood where he was and praised him.

Although he did not use his full strength, Duke Yan was able to be only slightly injured and retreat under Zhu Chengwu's Blazing Sun Fiery Palm, which was equivalent to the twelfth level of Shaolin Golden Bell Cover. He did not suffer any serious injuries that would affect his combat effectiveness. Duke Yan had enough to be proud of.

You should know that back then in the Elbru Mountains, Meng Chixing and Si Hanfei of the Yuan Dynasty, and Baishan and Heitu of the Qing Dynasty were all seriously injured by Zhu Chengwu's Fiery Sun Palm, which was used to the strength of the twelfth level of the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover. Even if Zhu Chengwu had used a few more palms, Meng Chixing, Si Hanfei, Baishan and Heitu would have been beaten to death by Zhu Chengwu.

The East Evil and West Poison of the Song Dynasty were directly killed by Zhu Chengwu's Blazing Sun Fiery Palm, which was used to the twelfth level of the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover. They couldn't even take a single blow.

However, the fact that Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi is now stronger than Meng Chixing and Si Hanfei of the Yuan Dynasty, Baishan and Heitu of the Qing Dynasty, and Dongxie and Xidu of the Song Dynasty does not mean that the real strength of Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi is much stronger than those people.

Although it is certain that Duke Yan is stronger than the East Evil and West Poison of the Song Dynasty, it is not certain that he is stronger than the other four.

In terms of real strength, Duke Yan is actually on par with Meng Chixing and Si Hanfei of the Yuan Dynasty, and Baishan and Heitu of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why Duke Yan performed stronger than them and was better able to withstand Zhu Chengwu's attack was simply because Duke Yan was better prepared and more determined.

From the very beginning, Duke Yan never thought that he could defeat or tie with Zhu Chengwu, nor did he ever think of escaping. Duke Yan just wanted to die in a more spectacular and glorious way, so from the very beginning, Duke Yan used the strongest forbidden technique and fought desperately.

Unlike Meng Chixing, Si Hanfei, Baishan and Heitu, they used forbidden techniques to desperately try their best when they saw that the situation was hopeless, and they were simply unable to maximize the power of the forbidden techniques.

"Hmph~~Chengwu clan brother, come on!"

Faced with Zhu Chengwu's "praise", Duke Yan did not show the slightest happiness. He just looked at Zhu Chengwu and snorted coldly, then rushed towards Zhu Chengwu again and challenged him to a fight.

Duke Yan just pointed his ten fingers, and countless Ananda fingers shot towards Zhu Chengwu through the air, blocking the space around Zhu Chengwu.

More than 20 years later, Duke Yan also mastered this unique martial art that Ananda pointed out to him, and he has also practiced it to the great level.

Whether in power, speed, or range, there has been a huge improvement compared to before.

However, in front of the supreme grandmaster Zhu Chengwu, this level of Ananda's finger power is still not enough.

"This attack has both range and speed, but it lacks power and intensity!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at the finger force coming towards him and said this calmly.

To what extent was Zhu Chengwu calm and indifferent?
Zhu Chengwu didn't move at all, nor did he dodge, and his hands didn't use any offensive moves.

Puff~Puff~Puff~~
A few tiny sounds were heard, like drops in the ocean!

The power of Duke Yan's Ananda finger was useless in the face of Zhu Chengwu's innate energy.

The defensive power is equivalent to the innate internal energy of the twelfth level of the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover. This is the confidence that Zhu Chengwu dares to ignore the countless Ananda fingers of Duke Yan.

Even though Ananda Finger and Xiantian Gangqi are both unique martial arts, there is still a gap between each unique skill.

Zhu Chengwu's current innate energy is undoubtedly the most advanced magical skill.

Ananda’s finger is simply incomparable!
"Heaven's broken legs!"

Looking at Zhu Chengwu, who was as still as a mountain and had no expression on his face, and who had offset the power of his Ananda Finger with just the protective air shield, Duke Yan's expression did not change, but he was shocked in the least.

Everyone knows that Zhu Chengwu is powerful and that his martial arts is the best in the world, but unless you actually fight with Zhu Chengwu, you will never feel the deep feeling of powerlessness when facing Zhu Chengwu.

It was an all-round crushing of true energy, foundation, martial arts, etc.

But although Zhu Chengwu was strong, Duke Yan had already made preparations.

Prepare to die in battle!
Therefore, although Duke Yan was shocked, he was not panicked. He even used his last great martial art - Tiancanjiao.

Duke Yan jumped into the air and kicked out countless streams of Qi in the shape of feet.

One after another, they hit Zhu Chengwu.

Since Zhu Chengwu is confident that he can fight back, Duke Yan will let Zhu Chengwu fight to the end.

Duke Yan wanted to see if Zhu Chengwu's protective air shield could keep defending against his continuous attacks from the Tiancan Kick, which was as famous as the Shaolin Temple's Tathagata Palm.

You should know that twenty-five years ago, Zhu Chengwu's protective gas shield had been broken several times by the Tathagata Palm of the Shaolin Temple's Wuwo Divine Monk. In the end, Zhu Chengwu could only keep dodging, or use counter-attack to reduce the power of the Tathagata Palm of the Wuwo Divine Monk, and then rely on the protective gas shield for protection.

Although the current Zhu Chengwu is definitely stronger than the Zhu Chengwu of 25 years ago, he, Zhu Chengyi, is also much stronger than the selfless monk of that year with the blessing of the Zhu family's last forbidden technique.

Duke of Yan, Zhu Chengyi, believed that with the help of the Tiancanjiao, a highly powerful martial art of the highest level, he would be able to break through Zhu Chengwu's protective aura.

In fact, Tiancanjiao is also the last hope of Duke Yan!
If the Heavenly Can Kick used by Duke Yan in this state is unable to break through Zhu Chengwu's protective qi, then Duke Yan can just tie up his own hands and feet and wait for death.

Ananda Finger, Sun Moon Mountains and Rivers Fist, and Heavenly Cruel Kick, these three martial arts are the only three martial arts of the Duke of Yan, Zhu Chengyi, that have reached the highest level of perfection.

It is difficult to cultivate supernatural powers, and it is also difficult to master unique martial arts.

It is a huge challenge for anyone to maintain the progress of practicing basic magical skills and to perfect the unique martial arts within a limited time.

Therefore, in this world, even the masters mostly only specialize in one most proficient and unique martial art besides the basic magical skills.

Just like the three great monks of Shaolin Temple, they each chose to practice one of the three skills, attack, defense and body skills, and each had their own strengths.

Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi was able to push his fundamental divine power to the point where he was only one step away from being a top master in just over twenty years, and at the same time he cultivated three unique martial arts to perfection. This was already extremely rare and terrifying...

Although it still cannot be compared with Zhu Chengwu's progress in practice!
But who is Zhu Chengwu? He is the martial arts legend who is now invincible in the world!

Who can compare with Zhu Chengwu?
Zhu Chengyi's progress in practice is almost the limit of what an ordinary master can achieve.

It has to be said that the fact that more than 20 years ago, Zhu Chengwu, who had not yet achieved mastery, defeated Duke Yan, who had already achieved mastery, really dealt a heavy blow to Duke Yan.

The Duke of Yan's practice intensity has greatly increased in the past twenty years, even exceeding that before he became a master.

The extremely powerful training intensity and Zhu Chengzhi's unreserved resource support are the fundamental reasons why Duke Yan has been able to grow to his current height in just over twenty years.

Of course, in addition to the intensity of practice and resource support, Duke Yan's natural talent is also the basis for him to reach his current level in less than thirty years.

As the hope of the Zhu family, who is highly expected by Zhu Chengwu's father Zhu Xingyu and other Zhu clan members, Duke Yan is truly gifted and strong.

However, the same question still applies, if Zhu Chengyi is born, why is Zhu Chengwu born?
In front of Zhu Chengwu, no matter how much effort Duke Yan put in or how high he grew, in actual combat, he would always be crushed by Zhu Chengwu.
