His results weren't good! If you want to work hard, you can even recommend flowers!
When the fire broke out in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, many people did not care about anything else and came to put out the fire to prevent it from spreading. Tian Boguang also joined in the fight as if nothing had happened, so no one would suspect him.
In the back palace, the assassins did not go to the main hall to assassinate the Emperor. Instead, they went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Among the four official powers of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor's power was basically controlled by the Empress Dowager. As a eunuch, Cao Zhengchun was able to gain power not only because of his own strength but also because of the trust of the royal family. Therefore, they were natural allies. The two powers usually helped each other. Cao Zhengchun had always done his best to protect the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The group of assassins, led by four first-class experts, killed anyone they saw in the back of the palace. Although many guards from the East Chamber gradually came to stop them, it was useless. They still rushed all the way to the front of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. In front of them, Cao Zhengchun had been waiting for them there with dozens of guards from the East Chamber.
"Who are you? How dare you assassinate the Empress Dowager? Tell me who the mastermind behind you is, and I will leave your corpses intact!”Cao Zhengchun did not take these assassins seriously. He had already sentenced them to death in his heart.
"Kill them!" The four leading Assassins were wearing helmets that covered their faces, making it impossible to see their true faces. After exchanging glances with each other, they led the dozen or so second-rate Assassins who were still alive behind them and charged forward.
"Stubborn fool, kill!" Seeing that these assassins did not know what was good for them, Cao Zhengchun ordered with a cold expression. The guards behind him rushed out.
Dozens of guards from the East Military Hall rushed forward, but they were only second-or third-rate. Although they had more people, they were still no match for the assassins under the leadership of the four first-rate assassins. After only four or five rounds, half of the guards from the East Military Hall had fallen, while the assassins had only lost a few second-rate assassins.
"A bunch of trash!"
Cao Zhengchun said unhappily. At the same time, he stretched out his palm and a ball of internal energy gathered in his palm. Cao Zhengchun had cultivated four kinds of martial arts. They were the Tiangang Boy Technique, Tiangang Morality, Vajra Body Protection, and Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea. They were all extremely rare martial arts techniques. The first three of them were internal energy and body protection techniques. Only the last one was a set of offensive palm techniques. It gathered one's internal energy into the palm and attacked. It could injure people from afar with endless power!
With Cao Zhengchun's current strength, which was at least at the peak of the Xiantian Realm or even a Grandmaster Realm, even a first-rate expert would die if he was hit by a single move. Unless he had some kind of mysterious cultivation technique, he would be able to restrain it.
Cao Zhengchun used the Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea, creating a massive force out of thin air. The assassins and some of the East Military Hall guards were attacked indiscriminately, and their internal organs were shattered by the huge force. When the four first-rate assassins saw that they could not dodge it, they used a strange martial art. Their bodies became somewhat ethereal, just like the Thousand-handed Guanyin. They seemed to have merged into one person, and the huge force disappeared on their bodies without causing any damage.
"Phantom Divine Technique? Xiangxi Four Ghosts!" Cao Zhengchun said with a serious expression. He recognized the martial arts they used and their identities.
The Phantom Power was a widely circulated divine power in the martial arts world. It required four people to cultivate it together, and the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi were the only people in the martial arts world who had mastered the Phantom Power. This set of martial arts combined defense with offense. Anyone who was entangled would basically disappear without a trace no matter what martial arts they used. It was said that the Phantom Divine Art only had two nemeses, the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art and the Power Absorption Technique created by the Heavenly Lake Heroes decades ago!
"Did Wan Sanqian send you here?" Cao Zhengchun coldly spoke again.
Everyone in Jianghu knew that the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi had been working for Wan Sanqian, the richest merchant in the Ming Empire. However, it was worth investigating why they would appear here to assassinate the Empress Dowager. For a moment, Cao Zhengchun could not figure out why Wan Sanqian would do this.
"You talk too much, die!"
One of the Xiangxi Four Ghosts finally spoke before pouncing towards Cao Zhengchun. If it wasn't for the fact that they had been forced by Cao Zhengchun's strength to use the Phantom Divine Art in the face of a life and death crisis, they wouldn't have exposed their identities so easily. This would definitely cause trouble for Wansan, so the only thing they could do now was to kill Cao Zhengchun.
Although they were only first-class masters, and even if ten first-class masters joined forces, they would not be able to defeat a Xiantian master, that was only under normal circumstances. For those who had cultivated the Phantom Power, they were confident that even if Cao Zhengchun was a grandmaster master, he would not be able to do anything to them. He might even be killed by them.
The two sides clashed. Cao Zhengchun's Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea struck them and was neutralized. At the same time, they kept attacking Cao Zhengchun. However, Cao Zhengchun's Tiangang Righteous Qi and Vajra Body Protection were both body-refining techniques. They were not much weaker than the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, which was known as the nemesis of the Phantom Divine Art. The Tiangang Boy Technique he cultivated also had a defensive effect, making the attacks of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi ineffective against him. For a time, neither side could do anything to the other.
However, as time passed, more and more guards and guards from the East Chamber rushed over. Other than the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, all the other assassins were killed. It was impossible for them to continue their plan to assassinate the Empress Dowager. After fighting for a while, they separated from Cao Zhengchun and began to flee the palace. Cao Zhengchun immediately ordered the archers to shoot, but it was useless.
"These bastards! Thirteen thousand? Or is it your doing, Divine Marquis?"
Cao Zhengchun was furious as he watched the Four Xiangxi Ghosts escape. At the same time, he muttered to himself doubtfully," He did not use his full strength in this battle. Otherwise, even if the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi had the Phantom Power, he was confident that he could keep them here. However, he had always had a bigger enemy in his heart, and that was the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujue. This time, he also suspected Zhu Bujue, so he did not expose his full strength.
"Pass down the order. Search and capture 13,000 people in the country. We must arrest him and bring him to justice. If he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!”Cao Zhengchun ordered his subordinates from the East Chamber. No matter what, the identity of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi could be confirmed. They had to capture Wan Sanqian, who was behind them.
