Chapter 28 Zhang Gui's Death
"too strong!"

“Is this the strength of the factory owner?”

"You are worthy of being the one I want to pursue. Now, I, Chu Xiao, am only third on the Yellow List, but sooner or later, I will be like my adoptive father, number one on the Martial List, the best in the world, and fight against the Grandmaster..."

"Hahaha!"

"If I can't cut off Daliang's rule today, I'll wait until I become a top-ranked master and my adoptive father becomes a master, and then I'll turn Daliang upside down!"

The feminine eunuch Chu Xiao laughed wantonly, extremely excited, his robe fluttering in the wind, and his body was like a stream of lightning, following the direction in which the purple-robed figure had left.

behind him.

Su Chen, who was originally fleeing, suddenly stopped and was silent for a while. He did not look in the direction where the man in purple robe disappeared, but looked at the library in the distance and sighed softly.

"According to your innate life span, you still have one month to live..."

“Why do this?”

At this time, the strongest men in the world gathered inside and outside the imperial city, waiting for the outcome of the battle, and witnessed with their own eyes the peerless grace of Zhang Gui, the number one prisoner in purple robes and the number one traitor in the world.

however.

Only Su Chen knows.

"Zhang Gui has reached his limit."

"He fought against the great demon with one palm strike, completely burning out the last of his lifespan!"

"He's going to die!"

Su Chen, who was about to escape from the palace, stopped, changed direction, and walked towards the most secluded and quiet corner of the palace, the library where he had lived for nine years.

as predicted.

The library was completely empty.

She was wearing a purple robe, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the moon, waiting for Su Chen's arrival under the only hibiscus tree in the courtyard.

The top of the world, Zhang Gui in purple robe.

In the future, he will surely become a terrifying and powerful person at the Grandmaster level.

however.

He has no future.

"You came."

Zhang Gui turned around and smiled slowly towards Su Chen, who was wearing a ghost mask and a black robe outside the library. He looked just like when he first met him, with eyes like deep pools, a smile on the corners of his mouth, and a bottle of Bairu wine hanging around his waist.

The bottle of Bairu wine was covered in blood.

Under the robe, Zhang Gui's body was perfect, and his flawless body was bleeding non-stop. The skin under the robe was like broken porcelain, covered with blood and cracks...

"This bottle of wine is reserved especially for you."

"I originally wanted to invite the emperor to die and kill all the people of Daliang, and then drink with you, but I didn't expect that more than a dozen masters died in this battle. Ahem, even I am going to die..."

At this moment, Zhang Gui's purple robe was soaked with blood, and the sticky blood dripped and gathered at his feet like a pool of blood.

even so.

Zhang Gui still had a smile on his face as he looked at Su Chen, as if the person who was about to die was not him.

"Here!"

"This bottle of wine is still drinkable."

"Fortunately, before I died, I still fulfilled the promise I made to you, so I can have one less regret! If I become the number one purple robe supervisor, I will promise you the number two red robe in the world..."

Su Chen took the Bai Ru wine and for the first time felt how heavy the wine was and how cold Zhang Gui's palm was.

in view.

Zhang Gui was like a candle in the wind, with only the spiritual flame left.

Even he couldn't save her.

"I can't save you."

Su Chen's voice was a little hoarse.

Even if the Qi of Immortality can ripen thousand-year-old precious medicine, protect the heart meridians, and make the vitality unconscious, there are still some things that cannot be done, and that is the innate lifespan.

"I know."

"You have the means to increase the lifespan of living people and their vitality."

"But my Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art is too overbearing. It does not burn lifespan, but innate lifespan. Otherwise, with my talent, no matter how brilliant I am, it is impossible for me to reach the peak of the Double First Rank at the age of thirty, and even fight against the Grandmaster..."

Under the hibiscus tree, Zhang Gui looked up at the bright moon, stretched out his right hand, his eyes were trance-like, as if he wanted to embrace the moon, and whispered softly.

"I just want to see you one last time before I die, my only friend in this life."

In the courtyard, Su Chen sat on a stone chair, swept the dust off the teacup, poured out the bottle of blood-stained Bairu wine, drank silently, and listened silently.

"My name is not Zhang Gui, my name is Chu Gui, the Chu from the Chu Kingdom on the border!"

"Emperor Tianwu ordered the border troops to massacre Chu State in order to obtain the thousand-year-old precious medicine that appeared in Chu State. I am the only one in the royal family of Chu State who was lucky enough to escape with my life in Liang State..."

"For revenge, I took someone else's identity and became a eunuch. I was very cautious and wanted to take revenge, but without the resources of the Chu State, even if I am a martial arts prodigy, I am no different from dust and dirt..."

"I was in despair, but then I met you. I got an opportunity and soared to the sky. I have wealth, cultivation, power, everything."

"do you know?"

"When I learned that the old emperor had died, I was ready to give up revenge."

"But I know a secret..."

Su Chen knew that the secret was that the old emperor was not dead, and that Emperor Jianwu was Emperor Tianwu. This old emperor replaced the identity of the fifth son, killed the seventh son and took his heart and liver, and served as the leader of the Liang Zhongxing for nine years. "Emperor Jianwu is actually Emperor Tianwu, right?"

Su Chen said.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Gui glanced at Su Chen and smiled.

"No!"

"no!"

"I didn't expect that you, who don't care about power, beauty, or anything else, would actually investigate this matter. I thought there was nothing in the world that you cared about."

"But it's really not true. There has never been an Emperor Jianwu, Emperor Tianwu, or even Emperor Liang Wen of the previous generation, or Emperor Liang Yu of the previous generation. None of them had these people."

"The only one left is the first great ancestor of Daliang, who is also the great demon you saw in the Tianwu Tower. Of course, he was once a human..."

"Daliang has never had any successor emperor. Why did the deposed Seventh Prince die? Why did the Purple Robe First Supervisor not take him seriously? It's because he was not the emperor who was supposed to succeed him!"

"I don't know what evil magic Liang Taizu got, he kept killing his descendants, eating their hearts and livers, and replacing their identities. In this way, Emperor Liang Yu, Emperor Liang Wen, Emperor Tianwu, Emperor Jianwu, lived all the way for three hundred years..."

"Dynasties have changed for three hundred years. Among the many emperors, this useless seventh prince was actually a true successor emperor, the second emperor of Daliang. However, not long after, Liang Taizu ascended the throne as the fifth son and became the Jianwu Emperor, correcting everything back on track..."

"This..." Su Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

It turns out that Daliang has always had an emperor, and he guessed wrong!

Daliang, actually has such a secret?

An emperor turned into a demon and lived for three hundred years.

"pity."

"We, the seven Grandmasters, plus the Tianwu Tower's insiders, the two First Supervisors, and several other first-class masters who defected, fought together on the night when the full moon was sleeping. A dozen junior Grandmasters still failed to win this game!"

Zhang Gui had blood coming out of all his seven orifices, but he didn't care. His eyes were like deep pools. He turned to look at the bare hibiscus tree in the courtyard, his gaze becoming dazed again.

"Su Chen, Su Chen!"

"Although I don't know what secrets you have, but nine years have passed, and I have become about thirty years old, but you still look as young as when I first met you."

"You better be more careful!"

"After I leave, there will be no one to protect you and take care of everything for you in secret..."

At this moment, Zhang Gui's appearance rapidly faded. His long black hair also turned snow-white and spread rapidly. In a flash, his flesh and blood dried up, and he looked like an old man covered in decay, exuding the air of old age.

"I really want to see the hibiscus flowers blooming in Chu State again..."

Zhang Gui's eyes gradually became dull and he was about to die.

"Ugh."

"I see."

"No wonder those deputy stewards who disappeared into the library never caused much trouble in the palace..."

Su Chen drank the last sip of Bairu wine, feeling depressed. He had never felt that wine was so bitter.

next moment.

A wisp of white energy struck into the bare branches of the hibiscus tree. In an instant, the white branches and leaves opened up, and hibiscus flowers shining with silver light bloomed on the treetops.

In the courtyard, flowers are in full bloom, leaves are green, and the hibiscus is shining under the moon.

"Su Chen! Live well and take my share with you..."

“This hibiscus flower is so beautiful!”

"What a pity, I can no longer...drink Bairu wine with you..."

Su Chen walked forward and looked at the old man in purple robe who was standing with his hands behind his back and looking up at the flowers. He was already dead.

Zhang Gui is dead.

At this moment, the Bairu wine in Su Chen's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Tick ​​tock.

It's raining!
Su Chen looked at the rain falling from the sky, seeming to be crying and laughing at the same time. The feeling of depression and emptiness in his heart could not be dispelled.

He slumped on the ground, leaning against a blooming hibiscus tree, the rain pouring over his body and wetting his eyes.

"Why is the rainwater salty... Why is it salty..."

"Why is the Bairu wine so bitter tonight!"

For the first time in nine years, a strong feeling of pain and discomfort emerged.

This strong emotion stimulated him so much that it was too painful!

This night.

The third day of the seventh month in the seventh year of Jianwu.

night.

Torrential rain.

The thousand-year-old ginseng king in Su Chen's arms slowly dried up, and thirty-two strands of immortality aura came out from the precious medicine and flowed into Su Chen's body, and one hundred strands of immortality aura gathered together.

The seed of immortality that had grown roots began to tremble at this moment and grew rapidly, becoming a finger-long tree like a sapling.

That night, Su Chen's Qi realm, which had been trapped for nine years, loosened.

There are hundreds of long vital energy in the body, gathering together like rivers, lakes and seas, spreading throughout the body.

He has reached the fourth realm!
