Chapter 220 Just Kill Him

"My Lord~"

Outside the Daming Palace, Cui Shuyun, who had been silently following the development of the situation, showed obvious worry in her eyes.

Although Cui Shuyun and others were no longer at the scene after Zhu Chengwu asked them to leave the Ming Palace, as masters of the Grandmaster Yangshen level, Cui Shuyun and others were able to sense the changes in the situation in the Ming Palace with the help of their powerful spiritual perception.

What’s more, the last landscape painting is more than 300 meters long and wide.

Such a conspicuous target can be seen by anyone in the capital who has a little military power or is nearby.

Combined with Fang Huiju's previous roar that resounded through the sky, almost all those who were paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Ming Palace understood that the situation in the Ming Palace had undergone unexpected changes.

Reappearing twenty-five years later, there are not many people who are truly familiar and close to Zhu Chengwu.

Most, or even all, of the people following Zhu Chengwu now are opportunists and cowards.

Among the many people who follow Zhu Chengwu now, Cui Shuyun is the person who has the closest relationship with Zhu Chengwu and still has a little bit of sincerity towards him.

Although the others were also shocked when they saw this scene, deep down in their hearts they were all guessing who would win and who would lose, and thinking about the pros and cons.

The concern for Zhu Chengwu's safety is all for the sake of profit and there is no sincerity at all.

To be honest, the changes in the battle situation in the Ming Palace were really beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhu Chengwu's strong performance was expected and not surprising to the world.

The Duke of Yan and the Duke of Qi were unable to stop Zhu Chengwu, and the world had already expected this.

However, the appearance of Li Xunhuan, the Flying Dagger, exceeded the expectations of all those who were paying attention to the battle situation in the Ming Palace.

When the situation was extremely clear, Xiao Li Tanhua actually came to the Ming Palace. This was simply courting death!

This is something a wise person should not do and will not do!

However, after sighing that Xiao Li Feidao was "loyal and righteous", "ungrateful", and "seeking his own death", people did not pay much attention to him.

In the eyes of everyone, even if a little Li Tanhua joined, he would not be a threat to Zhu Chengwu, the invincible martial arts legend of the time.

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger appeared and Duke Yan's Death Determination broke out, but just as everyone expected, it did not cause any harm to Zhu Chengwu.

But honestly speaking, at the moment when Duke Yan and Xiao Li Feidao teamed up to break through Zhu Chengwu's protective aura, those who had been paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation in the Ming Palace inevitably felt a strange emotion deep in their hearts after sensing this fact.

That is, is it possible for the legendary Flying Dagger of Li Xiao, who never misses his target, to work with the two great clan masters of the Ming Dynasty Zhu royal family, as well as the Empress Dowager Fang Huiju and many loyal followers of the current Ming King, to create an accident?

Is the rumored strength of Zhu Chengwu exaggerated? Can he stand the test?

Some people want Zhu Chengwu to remain strong and protect those who surrender and the forces around them, so as to maintain their current wealth and glory.

But more people hope that there is no Zhu Chengwu, the "master" who weighs on them and decides their fate.

Therefore, when many people realized that Zhu Chengwu seemed unable to maintain his usual strength, they felt waves in their hearts.

Some people even began to wonder whether they should change their stance and join the battle.

With their joining, can they completely overthrow Zhu Chengwu, the "master" who controls their destiny?

Xiao Li Feidao and Duke Yan are both powerful masters who are only one step away from becoming the ultimate master. If they fight desperately now, they may pose a threat to Zhu Chengwu...

Once something happens to Zhu Chengwu and there is no longer any threat of force from Zhu Chengwu, they can go back to their lawless and peaceful life as before.

However, they once surrendered to Zhu Chengwu. I don’t know whether they will be liquidated by Fang Huiju and the current Ming Wang faction after overthrowing Zhu Chengwu, or to what extent they will be liquidated by Fang Huiju and the current Ming Wang faction?

After Duke Yan and Xiao Li Feidao teamed up to break through Zhu Chengwu's protective qi head-on, many of the opportunists and cowards who had just surrendered to Zhu Chengwu and retreated outside the Ming Palace were already thinking about how much they would be affected after Zhu Chengwu's defeat and death, and how they should prepare for their retreat.

But soon, as they sensed the dissipation of many auras in the Ming Palace, including those of Xiao Li Feidao, Duke Yan and Duke Qi, they immediately understood that they had thought too much.

Accidents are accidents because they don't happen often.

Whether they were expecting an accident or worried about it, today was clearly not the time for an accident to happen.

Just when the auras of Xiao Li Feidao, Duke Yan, Duke Qi and others dissipated and everyone thought that the situation was settled, because of the verbal exchanges between Zhu Chengwu and Fang Huiju and others, those who were paying attention outside the Ming Palace suddenly discovered that there was no movement in the Ming Palace.

Just as they were getting a little impatient waiting for the final result, something unexpected happened again in the Ming Palace.

Suddenly, an angry roar was heard from the meeting hall of the Ming Palace, followed by a landscape painting hundreds of meters long and wide.

This was truly beyond the expectations of everyone who was paying attention to the developments in the Ming Palace.

No one could have imagined that Queen Mother Fang Huigui had already achieved the status of Yang God and was so powerful.

Although those interested people outside the Ming Palace did not understand the nature of the power above the Grandmaster's, they also did not know that the landscape painting that Fang Huijue had put all his efforts into had reached a level of power above the Grandmaster's.

But the terrifying aura revealed in the painting of rivers and mountains far exceeded that of Grandmaster Yang Shen, and the powerful deterrence that seemed to have entered another level of strength made all those who were interested understand the power of Fang Huiju's decisive move.

For many people who are interested, they don’t care whether the power level of Jiangshan Painting Scroll is above Grandmaster or Grandmaster. What they care about is whether Jiangshan Painting Scroll is powerful or not, and whether Zhu Chengwu can deal with it?
Especially when they found that Zhu Chengwu did not seem to escape from the downward pressure of the Jiangshan painting scroll, they became even more worried!

As they watched the dust of ruins stirred up by the falling of the painting of the country, all kinds of thoughts began to churn in their minds.

Will they perish together, or...

It’s best to die together!

“Hahahaha~~~~”

Just when everyone was confused, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the place where the landscape painting was pressed down in the Ming Palace.

All the people outside the Ming Palace who had some thoughts aroused by the huge shock caused by the downward pressure of the Jiangshan scroll immediately and quickly suppressed the various thoughts in their hearts.

They stood upright outside the Ming Palace, like carefully crafted statues, waiting for Zhu Chengwu to reappear.

No matter what they thought before, whether it was worry or hope, they now have only one image, that is, loyal ministers and generals who maintain absolute confidence and absolute loyalty to Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu’s decision to take over the Jiangshan scroll was correct!

Although the power Fang Huiju gained unexpectedly from her self-destruction of her soul and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty reached a level of power above that of a Grandmaster, Fang Huiju herself was only an ordinary Yang God, and she had already self-destructed her soul, so the formation of the Jiangshan scroll was already difficult, and the entire scroll was covered with cracks.

Afterwards, Zhu Chengwu's three Blazing Sun Fiery Palms further enlarged the cracks in the Jiangshan Painting Scroll, further affecting the power of the Jiangshan Painting Scroll, and even causing the power to split and dissipate.

Finally, after seeing Zhu Chengwu escape from the pressure range of Jiangshan Scroll, Fang Huiju destroyed her consciousness in order to chase Zhu Chengwu. After Jiangshan Scroll lost its operator, because of the huge cracks on the scroll itself, even if Zhu Chengwu stood within the pressure range of Jiangshan Scroll, Jiangshan Scroll could not exert all its power on Zhu Chengwu.

The only force that actually affects Zhu Chengwu is the corner of the landscape painting directly above him.

Although the power of this corner still maintains the essence of power above the Grandmaster, its weight is much less.

With the innate qi defense activated at full power, Zhu Chengwu only suffered minor injuries after experiencing the power of the Jiangshan Painting Scroll up close.

While experiencing the power of Jiangshan Painting Scroll up close and personal, Zhu Chengwu was also at the same time trying his best to activate the "Jade Edict" in his mind, using it to analyze and deduce the power essence and formation mechanism of Jiangshan Painting Scroll, and finally gained a lot.

These insights are enough to become one of Zhu Chengwu's resources for his breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.

This is also the reason why Zhu Chengwu couldn't help laughing.

"So that's how it is. It turns out that the Yang God of the Spirit Refining Sect actually has such a powerful essence!

The soul merges with heaven and earth, borrows the rules of heaven and earth, absorbs the power of heaven and earth, and forms the Taoist art of refining the soul!

In the way of refining the spirit, once one has achieved the state of being above the Yang God, because the spirit soul can be integrated into the world at any time, all the techniques of refining the spirit will come into play with a wave of the hand. Not only will one no longer be afraid of close-range attacks from the martial arts lineage, but the fighting power in this world may even be higher than that of the Grandmaster who has fed back the rules into his physical body after comprehending them!"

As these thoughts turned, Zhu Chengwu, with a yellowish-brown circular innate energy, soared into the sky from his original position.

Floating in the air, Zhu Chengwu sensed the situation around him and then landed in the court meeting hall.

Because of the shock wave of the Jiangshan Scroll, although the Chaohui Hall was no longer directly below the Jiangshan Scroll due to Zhu Chengwu's escape and the Jiangshan Scroll's pursuit, when the Jiangshan Scroll pressed down to the ground, the huge shock wave still caused the Chaohui Hall to collapse and become a ruin.

Zhu Chengwu pushed aside the rubble, palace stones and other collapsed buildings, and as expected, he finally discovered Fang Huiqi's already broken body.

The main purpose of refining the spirit is to cultivate the soul. Even though Fang Huiju has achieved the status of Yang God, her body is not very strong.

After the self-destruction of his soul, Fang Huiju's body, which was no longer protected by the power of his soul, was broken into pieces by the huge shock wave formed by the downward pressure of the Jiangshan scroll and the aftermath of the collapse of the court hall.

However, although it was already in tatters, as long as Fang Huiqi's body still existed, it was good news for Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu's true energy surged, and suddenly a piece of flesh and blood in Fang Huijue's broken body began to dissolve itself, forming a blurry blood-red arrow pointing to somewhere in the capital.

Zhu Chengwu controlled Fang Huiqi's broken body from a distance, letting the blood-red arrow lead the way, and flew rapidly in the direction pointed by the blood-red arrow.

As soon as Zhu Chengwu flew out of the Ming Palace, he saw a sea of ​​people standing upright outside the Ming Palace!
For some reason, the huge crowds of people standing outside the Ming Palace this time were even greater than the number of people who left the Ming Palace before.

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Zhu Chengwu appear, all the people who were standing upright immediately bowed down.

At the same time, they also noticed the remains of the body floating in the air behind Zhu Chengwu.

With the help of the traces of clothing on the corpse, everyone knew the identity of the corpse floating behind Zhu Chengwu the moment they saw the corpse.

Although no one knew what Zhu Chengwu was doing with the remains of the former empress dowager Fang Huiju, and although people thought it was inappropriate for Zhu Chengwu to parade the remains of Fang Huiju, the former empress dowager and Zhu Chengwu's wife, through the streets, no one at the scene dared to advise him, and no one dared to express their inner thoughts.

Zhu Chengwu is so strong!

This is too brutal!

They don't want to make themselves uncomfortable!

Anyway, this is an internal matter of the Zhu royal family/Ming Wang's line. Why should outsiders/ordinary Zhu clan members worry about it!

Many people outside the Ming Palace justified their cowardice in this way.

Although Zhu Chengwu discovered that the number of people on the scene was not right, and with the help of the Supreme Grand Master's super spiritual perception he also sensed some of the thoughts of certain people, but now Zhu Chengwu did not have the mind to deal with them one by one. Zhu Chengwu now had more important things to do.

"You stay here to rebuild the Ming Palace and stabilize the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty. Don't let the lawless ones affect the livelihood of the people!

Cui Shuyun, you will be fully responsible for everything while I am away!"

Zhu Chengwu paused slightly, glanced at everyone present, and gave the order.

After finishing his words, Zhu Chengwu took another step and flew away without waiting for anyone present to respond.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

After hearing Zhu Chengwu's instructions, everyone present had different thoughts. Some people wanted to make suggestions and give advice, but before they could think clearly about how dangerous it was to give advice, whether Zhu Chengwu would accept their advice, and whether it was necessary for them to give advice, Zhu Chengwu had already flown away.

With Zhu Chengwu's departure, those who have different positions and interests from Cui Shuyun and are still hesitating whether to take the risk of making suggestions no longer have to hesitate!
Because they have no chance!
Looking at Zhu Chengwu leaving, everyone could only bow and respond loudly.

Since it was impossible to give advice, they had to at least leave a good impression in front of Zhu Chengwu for the follow-up...

This is the idea of ​​those who have different positions and interests from Cui Shuyun, and there is even less need for those who have the same positions and interests as Cui Shuyun to oppose it.

Of course, those who are not concerned about the matter will not make themselves uncomfortable.

Due to the combined effect of various factors, Zhu Chengwu's orders were so well received after being issued.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is Zhu Chengwu’s invincible military deterrence!

Zhu Chengwu ignored the chorus of responses coming from behind him.

As the unrivaled supreme grandmaster of the time, it is only natural that everyone in the world would respond to Zhu Chengwu's words.

After Zhu Chengwu left everyone present, he followed the guidance of the blood-red arrow and came to a mansion covering dozens of acres.

"Fang Mansion!"

Zhu Chengwu muttered to himself as he looked at the plaque hanging high above the main gate of the mansion.

“However, the Fang family didn’t disperse and escape?

There are still many relatives who are very close to Fang Huijue staying here, which is really unexpected!"

With the help of the Supreme Grand Master's spiritual perception and the subtle changes in the blood-colored arrow, Zhu Chengwu has already discovered the number of people still in the Fang family mansion, and their blood relationship with Fang Huiju.

"Although I don't know what your plans, plots, and determination are, but isn't it better to just kill you all?"

Zhu Chengwu's mind turned, and countless flames appeared out of thin air, forming fireballs that floated behind Zhu Chengwu.
