Chapter 218: Minister Wu

"Let's go now without further ado." Yan Xu looked out the window. The wind was gradually picking up, so he spoke.

"Okay!" Simutang, no longer worried, stood up and said decisively.

The three of them were all practicing cultivation, so the dark and slippery road did not hinder their journey. It was just that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a few raindrops were falling. At this moment, Simu and Master Ikkyu immediately thought of the removed roof of the golden-horned bronze coffin, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.

Yan Xu had wanted to change this matter before, but he felt something was wrong, because if this was really a setup, doing so would only alert the enemy.

No one knew if it was destined by heaven, but when they came all the way in the wind and rain and vaguely saw the tent, a bolt of lightning fell at the right moment and hit the golden-horned bronze coffin.

"Not good!" Simu was shocked when he saw Qianhe leaping onto the golden-horned bronze coffin and trying to suppress the royal zombie inside.

He had seen Old Man Ren who had been struck by lightning. Even though he was unlucky enough to be beaten to death by Yan Xu, Four Eyes knew very well how difficult it was to deal with top-level black zombies, not to mention the royal zombies. These were not something that Qianhe and a few of his disciples could suppress.

As expected, Qianhe was overturned along with the coffin lid, and was about to be injured. Yan Xu suddenly accelerated and caught the coffin lid, which probably weighed a thousand pounds, with one hand.

"Wow, this golden-horned bronze coffin is actually solid." Yan Xu put the coffin lid down and it sank into the muddy ground, which shows how heavy this coffin is.

"Thank you!" Qianhe, who was still in shock, thanked him. Seeing that the royal zombie had escaped from the bronze coffin, he quickly grabbed the peach wood sword and rushed over.

Simu, Chizuru, and Master Ikkyu were all masters with profound training. When they joined forces, the royal zombies that had just revived and had not yet had time to suck blood were immediately at a disadvantage. They were beaten with sparks flying all over their bodies and were about to be trapped in the coffin again.

"You three are just standing here watching the show. Go and help. Don't let them beat the prince up!" Minister Wu flicked his handkerchief and said to the three guards in annoyance.

Although the three guards were all skilled in martial arts, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, so they obeyed the orders habitually. They also knew that if anything happened to the prince's body, they would be held accountable as guards, so they did not care about much else and rushed forward to stop the three people who beat the prince's body into pieces.

Simu, who was almost hit by the axe, was almost mad with rage. Just when they were about to subdue the royal zombies again, this group of people actually rushed over to give themselves up.

As expected, the guard who was tied up and could defeat the royal zombie who was invulnerable to swords and guns and had infinite strength was bitten on the neck.

It’s fine if the zombies are just born and haven’t sucked blood yet. But once they suck blood, not only will they become extremely ferocious, but the corpse qi in their bodies will also be stimulated, making them more difficult to deal with.

So when these guards who were about to die realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Even if they resisted, what could they do? The weapons in their hands were meaningless against the royal zombies, and all their blood was sucked dry.

"This is not good." Simu glanced at his junior fellow apprentice Chizuru and Master Ikkyu and deliberately spoke loudly.

"Brother, I will hold it back, you and Master Ikkyu go and ask for help." Qianhe didn't know that they had a plan in advance. At this moment, he just wanted to use his own life to fight a way out for them. After all, this was his responsibility, and he couldn't let his brother and others pay the price of their lives for this.

Master Ikkyu couldn't help but admire Qianhe's character in his heart, but Simu just rolled his eyes. This stupid junior brother really deserves to die of stupidity. Can't he run together? Bah, there's no need to run at all. Simu saw Yan Xu who was already standing behind Wu Shilang and sneered.

"Alas, it is your honor to be loyal to the court. Why can't you just die quietly? Why do you have to struggle? You are such a disloyal and unfilial person." Minister Wu put away his handkerchief helplessly and turned to face Yan Xu, who wanted to launch a sneak attack but found that the other party had no flaws.

"Be loyal to the Qing Dynasty? That's ridiculous. I worship Guan Gong." Yan Xu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade upside down in one hand and placed the other hand in front of his abdomen as if stroking his beard, and said with disdain.

"You're an ungrateful bastard." Minister Wu shook his head and stared at Yan Xu with disdain.

"Haha, I just can't figure it out. Don't you know that you are also one of the sacrifices?" Yan Xu didn't want to argue with Minister Wu about whether those who worshipped Guan Gong should be loyal to the Qing Dynasty or should kill these invaders, but directly pointed out their purpose.

"So what? Being loyal to the court is a subject's duty. Besides, what's wrong with becoming an immortal zombie?" Minister Wu put away his sissy voice and said expressionlessly, obviously thinking so.

"It seems we can't continue the conversation." Yan Xu sighed. The other party is not afraid of death, so what else can he say.

"Okay, let me see what you rebels are capable of." Minister Wu also figured it out and no longer worried about whether the plan could be completed. He heard a series of snapping sounds and a force spread from the spine to the fingertips. His ten fingers turned shiny black, just like carefully maintained iron hooks.

"What a powerful Eagle Claw skill." Yan Xu took a deep breath and felt that he had met his match this time.

"Die!" As soon as Minister Wu's slightly sharp voice sounded, he swooped down in front of Yan Xu, just like an eagle swooping down to hunt, with a pair of eagle claws grabbing Yan Xu's dantian above and his chicken below. Even though Yan Xu was full of confidence, he couldn't help but take a half step back, and at the same time instinctively raised his Guandao.

Minister Wu was startled. He had practiced the Powerful Eagle Claw for decades and had already mastered it to perfection. He could see that Yan Xu was a strong and capable military commander, so he started to fight him in close combat. However, he did not expect the opponent's reaction to be so quick and his speed was amazing. He quickly withdrew his move and dodged to the side.

After the knife missed, Yan Xu didn't dare to let the opponent get close to him again, because in just a moment of contact, a piece of armor on his waist was torn off. Moreover, Minister Wu attacked the vital points every time and focused on the lower three parts. If he was caught, he would not die, but would be socially killed.

"Come on!" Yan Xu shouted, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand turned into a blade wheel and danced around him, forcing Minister Wu to dodge left and right, but he could never get close to him.

Minister Wu actually practiced the Eagle Claw Iron Shirt, and his hard skills were extremely impressive. He could be said to be invulnerable to swords and spears. If he met an ordinary opponent, he would resist one move and then take the opportunity to get close to the opponent and end his life. This was his specialty.

The problem was that the opponent's strength and weapons made him dare not use this trick at all.

Before, Yan Xu was so eager to save people that he lifted the copper coffin lid weighing a thousand pounds with one hand. Minister Wu saw it, so he naturally had no intention of confronting him head-on, not to mention that every time the Green Dragon Crescent Blade passed by him, it gave him a chilling feeling. How could he dare to test whether the blade was sharp?

Yan Xu did not use his full strength when fighting against Minister Wu, but kept 70% of his strength at all times, just to see if he had any backup plan that had not been exposed.

However, seeing that the three men with four eyes were finding it increasingly difficult to deal with the royal zombies, they decided not to hold back.
