Chapter 218 Leave no one behind
"Xiu Lan? This name sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard of it somewhere!"
Prince Ming/Princess Yunluo said in their hearts at the same time.
But soon, they had no time to think about why the name Xiulan sounded so familiar.
Because Zhu Chengwu's next words surprised them even more.
Yang Shen?
Their mother Fang Huiju is actually a yang god?
This…
I have to say that Fang Huiju did a great job keeping secrets!
To this day, no one knows the identity of Fang Huiyi Yangshen except the former Ming King Zhu Chengzhi who has long passed away and the Duke of Yan Zhu Chengyi who died in battle today.
"Yang Shen, are you any use against the Seventh Prince?"
When Zhu Chengwu revealed her identity as Yang Shen, Fang Huijue showed no pride or complacency at all, but instead revealed a wry smile.
Whether it was twenty-five years ago or today, Yang Shen, a combat force that was powerful enough to become the ultimate foundation of a top force, could not become a means to balance Zhu Chengwu's combat power.
Twenty-five years ago, although Yang Shen could not become a means to balance Zhu Chengwu's combat power, it could still be an important weight to influence the situation.
Twenty-five years ago, in order to influence the situation, the Duke of Yan and the former Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi made great efforts and finally obtained the "Songshan Inkstone", a rare treasure from the royal secret library.
After obtaining the "Songshan Inkstone", Fang Huiju, who had already reached the limit of Yin God, was also very competitive. Relying on the Fang family's orthodox art of painting mountains and rivers and his insights over the years, he successfully achieved Yang God, and a vision appeared like a picturesque landscape.
The then Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi and Crown Princess Fang Huigui discussed and were about to announce the news of Fang Huigui's achievement of Yangshen in order to strengthen the cohesion of the Crown Prince's faction and the outside world's confidence in the Crown Prince's successful succession to the throne. Suddenly, the Duke of Yan and his entourage brought back the news that Zhu Chengwu had "disappeared" in Nanzhu Kingdom together with the spirit of heaven and earth Narcissus.
In order to have a backup plan, the then Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi and the then Crown Princess Fang Huiju decided to conceal the news that Fang Huiju had achieved Yangshen, and wait and see how the situation progressed before deciding whether to announce it or not.
And how to announce it!
After that, after many attempts, Zhu Chengwu never showed up.
With no other options left, Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju even risked destroying the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City, hoping to force Zhu Chengwu to show up, gather forces from all sides, and fight a decisive battle with Zhu Chengwu in Xuzhou City.
Allowing Zhu Chengwu to continue growing would be too dangerous for Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju's faction!
Unfortunately, at that time, Zhu Chengwu was in the Elbrus Mountains, guarding the formation of the Yang Lei Zhen Yan, isolated from the world. He did not receive the news deliberately revealed by Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju, so naturally he did not show up.
Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huijue planned, mobilized and prepared for nothing.
Afterwards, in order to prevent the high probability of Zhu Chengwu reappearing, and in order to have a trump card to fight for his life, even after the Fu'an Marquis Mansion was destroyed, the news of Fang Huiju's achievement of Yang God was not announced to the public.
In addition, twenty-five years ago, the Duke of Qi, who was the head of the Grand Clan Academy, had an ambiguous attitude. In order to prevent any accidents, Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi and Duke of Yan Zhu Chengyi used other excuses to take out the rare treasure "Songshan Inkstone" from the Zhu family's secret vault.
Therefore, apart from Duke of Yan Zhu Chengyi, former Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi and Duke of Qi Zhu Xingcheng, no one else in the Zhu family knew that Fang Huiju had used the rare treasure of heaven and earth, "Songshan Inkstone", to impact the Yang God and achieve the Yang God.
In this way, the news that Fang Huiju, the Crown Princess, Queen, and Queen Mother, had achieved Yangshen became a secret of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Chengzhi, Fang Huiju and others did not expect that Zhu Chengwu would disappear for twenty-five years.
When everyone gradually forgot about Zhu Chengwu, even Fang Huiju, who had always been worried about Zhu Chengwu's reappearance, couldn't help but speculate that Zhu Chengwu might have encountered an accident and died.
Zhu Chengwu unexpectedly reappeared in the world again.
Moreover, Zhu Chengwu, who had re-entered the world's eyes along with the high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth, Yang Lei Zhenyan, showed his amazing achievements at the beginning, defeating the combined forces of thirteen Grandmaster Yang Gods on his own, killing nearly ten Grandmaster Yang Gods, and subduing three Grandmaster Yang Gods to become his subordinates.
With the emergence of this amazing achievement, Fang Huiqi's plan to hide his Yang Shen strength as a backup suddenly became a joke.
In front of Zhu Chengwu, who is so powerful, Yang Shen can no longer be a force to change the situation.
Therefore, Fang Huiqi simply chose not to expose the truth and kept it secret until his death.
Even when the Duke of Yan, the Duke of Qi, Xiao Li Feidao and others were fighting to the death with Zhu Chengwu, Fang Huiju did not intervene too obviously.
Firstly, Fang Huiju was able to sense through the power of her Yang Shen soul that Zhu Chengwu had already discovered her Yang Shen strength as early as when he entered the Ming Palace, and had always paid some attention to her.
It is too difficult to hide your strength in front of Zhu Chengwu, who has achieved the status of a supreme grandmaster!
almost impossible!
Moreover, Fang Huiju could sense that Zhu Chengwu was able to handle the combined forces of the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Yan, and Xiao Li Feidao with ease, so whether she intervened in the battle or not, it would have little impact.
Secondly, Fang Huiju had concerns. She wanted to protect the Fang family. If possible, she even wanted to plead for her daughter Princess Yunluo and her son Prince Ming.
For this purpose, Fang Huiju could not take any action, which would further offend Zhu Chengwu and increase the probability that Zhu Chengwu would reject her request.
Although Fang Huiju knew that even if she did not take action, the probability that Zhu Chengwu would reject her request was very high.
But I hope the more the better!
However, although he had planned not to interfere or use the power of the Yang God from the beginning, Fang Huiju couldn't help himself in the end. After Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi and Little Li Xunhuan, the Flying Dagger, teamed up to break through Zhu Chengwu's protective aura, Duke Qi thought it was an opportunity, and Fang Huiju, who had detected everything with the help of the power of the soul, also thought it was a good time.
Although Fang Huiqi knew that the opportunity might not be a real opportunity.
Even if she intervened, it would be difficult to defeat and kill Zhu Chengwu.
But Fang Huiqi couldn't help but take action in the end.
The temptation of winning is simply too great!
Once that opportunity is a real opportunity, he will use it to defeat and kill Zhu Chengwu.
Then Fang Huiqi's current predicament will be solved immediately.
Although Zhu Chengwu had a record of winning the battle against thirteen at the Elbru Mountains, he was now facing the combined forces of three masters and one Yang God.
After Duke Yan and Xiao Li Feidao burst out with all their strength, their attack power reached the ultimate master level.
This opportunity only appeared after the desperate attacks of Duke Yan and Xiao Li Feidao. Fang Huiju believed that there was a certain probability that this was a real opportunity.
A great man in Zhu Chengwu's previous life once said something like, for 100% profit, people are willing to take risks, and for 200% profit, people are willing to trample on all laws.
Although the world is different, many principles are the same.
Moreover, the opportunity that was revealed after Zhu Chengwu's innate energy was broken just now, for Fang Huiqi, how could it be compared with 100% or 200% benefits?
That is a world of difference, that is the difference between death and life!
So, even though Fang Huiqi had already made up her mind and was a determined Yang Shen, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and acted in secret.
She influenced Zhu Chengwu with her Yang Shen power.
Unfortunately, the final result disappointed Fang Huiqi.
Zhu Chengwu once again explained what the invincible supreme grandmaster is and why as long as Zhu Chengwu stands there, he can influence the world's situation.
"Yang Shen, it is true that he has no effect or threat to me anymore!
This is my fault. The trump card that Wang Sao had hidden with so much difficulty has been wasted before it was even played!"
Zhu Chengwu responded to Fang Huiju.
There is both sarcasm and sighs in the words!
Speaking of this, Zhu Chengwu suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of emptiness and annoyance in his heart.
No matter how much Zhu Chengwu and Fang Huiju communicated, in reality it was just a one-man show by Zhu Chengwu!
Under the intimidation of Zhu Chengwu's invincible force, everyone, including Fang Huiju, is Zhu Chengwu's puppet. For the sake of their concerns and ties, everyone is following Zhu Chengwu's script and satisfying his emotional value.
What's the point of such a conversation?
How can I be happy with such revenge?
The dead cannot be resurrected, the past is past, and no one can change it!
Even if Zhu Chengwu tried every possible way to humiliate Fang Huiju to the greatest extent possible and make Fang Huiju regret it, what would it matter?
Could it be that Zhu Chengwu could resurrect the dead and make things that had happened never happen?
Now, what Zhu Chengwu should do most is to end the conversation, quickly complete the maximum revenge that can make him feel relieved, and then continue to improve himself and prepare for the impact on the Grandmaster level.
After all, there are only six years left before the deadline for achieving the Grandmaster level as deduced from the Jade Book, so Zhu Chengwu needs to speed up the process.
"Seventh brother, you are indeed a unique talent, and the late king and I both agree on this!
Otherwise, you wouldn't have the ability to force me and the late king, who have the support of our father, into the situation we were in before!
However, Seventh Brother, the feuds of the previous generation should end!
I can give you the throne of Ming Wang, and I can die, all I ask is…"
Faced with Zhu Chengwu's obviously teasing words, Fang Huiju finally chose to meet Zhu Chengwu's emotional needs.
Fang Huiju, who even sensed Zhu Chengwu's murderous intent and determination, had lowered her bottom line again and began to actively flatter Zhu Chengwu.
Fang Huiju is trying her best to reduce Zhu Chengwu's murderous intention.
But even though Fang Huiju had done this, Zhu Chengwu still didn't let Fang Huiju finish what she was saying.
When Fang Huiqi was about to make her request again, Zhu Chengwu interrupted her directly.
"Forget it, forget it! Since you have already decided on your own path, why do you have to act like a little girl here?
Mrs. Wang, I will not waste any more time, letting you suffer mental fear, and trying every possible way to humiliate you!
Like you said, it's time for the hatred to end!
When I kill you and everyone related to you..."
Before Fang Huiqi finished speaking, Zhu Chengwu suddenly interjected with emotion.
Then, Zhu Chengwu took a step forward, constantly moving among the group of important officials in the hall who had been at a loss as to what to do when Zhu Chengwu was talking with Fang Huiju and the mother and son of Prince Ming, and could only try to reduce their own presence as much as possible after Zhu Chengwu killed the few people who were the first to surrender.
One by one, one by one!
Similarly, every time a person was hit by a palm strike and fell to the ground lifeless, the body was set on fire by Zhu Chengwu with the blazing sun fire.
The meeting hall suddenly turned into a bonfire party.
Countless candles shone on Fang Huiju, Prince Ming, Princess Yunluo and Cheng Shifei, and the scene suddenly seemed bright, hot and terrifying.
"Seventh Prince, spare the Fang family or Yunluo. Wang'er and I are willing to end our lives!"
Looking at Zhu Chengwu moving around in the court hall, Fang Huiju finally finished speaking the words that were interrupted by Zhu Chengwu.
Just because of Zhu Chengwu's sudden murderous words and decisive actions, Fang Huiju put Ming Wang, who had originally wanted to ask Zhu Chengwu to let him go, together with her, in the group of people willing to commit suicide.
As she said this, Fang Huiqi glanced at her son Ming Wang from the corner of her eye.
Although she was worried that her son Ming Wang might be upset, Fang Huiju did not take any further actions or say any further words.
Because it's too late.
Fang Huiju could only feel sorry for her son, King Ming.
Upon hearing the words of their mother/queen mother Fang Huiju, Prince Ming, Princess Yunluo, and Cheng Shifei were all shocked.
Although they knew rationally that this was the most likely condition for Zhu Chengwu, a man with invincible military power and successful rebellion, to let some people go, and the possibility of this being the most likely was also very low, after hearing their mother/mother's words, their emotions were still...
"Suicide? There's no need for that, Mrs. Wang!
It's just a matter of one palm strike. I might be able to do it faster than you can do it yourself!"
As he spoke, Zhu Chengwu had dealt with all the important officials present in the court. Now the only four people left were Fang Huiju, Prince Ming, Princess Yunluo, and Cheng Shifei and his mother.
Before Zhu Chengwu finished his words, he appeared in front of Ming Wang and slapped him with his palm.
Zhu Chengwu, the nephew of King Ming who hoped to die with dignity, lost all his life in an instant before he could make any reaction or expression.
Zhu Chengwu said it was very fast, and it was indeed very fast!
When King Ming lost all his life force, Zhu Chengwu also used the blazing sun fire to set fire to the body of King Ming's nephew.
The same as everyone else, without any difference.
"Wang Er~~"
"Brother Wang~~"
"Your Majesty~~"
Fang Huiju, Princess Yunluo, and Cheng Shifei exclaimed almost at the same time.
Three different names represent three different relationships.
"I'll fight for you!"
Princess Yunluo shouted excitedly.
“Don’t be so anxious, everyone has a share and everyone is equal!
Not only you, but also the Fang family!"
Before Princess Yunluo finished her words, Zhu Chengwu had already flashed in front of her.
The same palm strike, the same loss of life in an instant, the same corpse being set on fire.
Prince Ming and Princess Yunluo, a pair of brother and sister, were not only born from the same womb, but also died in the same way and at the same place.
"Yunluo~~"
The names of Fang Huiju and Cheng Shifei, who were still alive at the scene, were consistent.
"Ah~~~ Evildoer, give me your life!"
Bang~~
There was a loud bang, which was the sound of Cheng Shifei's head shattering.
Cheng Shifei used his Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill, so Zhu Chengwu couldn't kill him as easily as he killed King Ming and Princess Yunluo.
If Zhu Chengwu wants to kill the enemy with one blow, he must use heavy force.
With the loud bang, Cheng Shifei also fell down.
Facts have proved that as long as Zhu Chengwu no longer deliberately holds back, even if Cheng Shifei uses his Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill, he will not be able to take on Zhu Chengwu's palm.
There is still a clear gap between the number one person under the Grandmaster and the real number one in martial arts.
"Ah~~"
His son, daughter, and son-in-law died one after another in an instant. From what Zhu Chengwu said, it seemed that he had no intention of letting Fang go.
All the expectations and hopes in her heart were officially shattered, and Fang Huiju went crazy.
She broke through the spiritual shackles that Zhu Chengwu had placed on her when he just attacked her!
