The moon was round, and the night was bright.
The Imperial City was filled with voices. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures that seemed to have been frozen in time in the moonlight.
At the highest point of the Forbidden City, at the peak of the Imperial City, two white-robed swordsmen stood quietly facing each other.
The same white robe, the same sword Qi, the same pride, looking down on all living things, like the clouds in the nine heavens, like the snow on the peak.
On the night of the full moon, on the top of the forbidden city, a sword came from the west, and an immortal flew out of the sky.
This white was the white of the clouds or the white of the snow. This sword was the sword of an immortal, or perhaps it was the sword of Blowing Blood.
Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were Sword Saint and Sword God respectively. This battle between them was destined. It was an unavoidable battle between two swordsmen at the peak of the Ming Empire.
This battle had affected all the experts of the Ming Empire. Even the Emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Youtang, had come over to personally watch.
On the left side of Zhu Youtang stood a prince who was wearing a black silk robe with golden edges. He looked about forty years old and walked like a dragon and tiger. He was the leader of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Budian, the number one expert in the Ming Empire.
On Zhu Youtang's right side stood an old eunuch with white hair and a youthful face. He was smiling, but it made people shudder. He was Cao Zhengchun, the Governor of the East Chamber, who was infamous both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. He had cultivated the Tiangang Boy Technique for decades and was known as the purest spiritual technique of the Ming Empire. His strength was so strong that he could faintly compete with Zhu Bujue.
Emperor Zhu Youtang stared at one of the figures under the moonlight. His eyes were indifferent and one could not see a trace of emotion. However, everyone around him was silent and did not dare to make a sound.
They knew very well that the Emperor was very angry now. Outside the palace and within the Forbidden City, there were already many layers of encirclement. Even the once famous Sword Saint would definitely not be able to walk out of the Forbidden City today.
An hour ago, the so-called Sword Saint had used a substitute to fight against Ximen Chuixue. He had used a trick to lure away Divine Marquis Tiedan and Governor Cao, who were watching the battle, while he himself had infiltrated the Imperial City and assassinated Zhu Youtang in the royal study.
Fortunately, Zhu Youtang had the protection of Ancestor Sunflower, and Lu Xiaofeng, who had four eyebrows, also came to the rescue, so Ye Gucheng's assassination failed.
However, the Heavenly Fairy was shocked. The beautiful sword had already caused Zhu Youtang to be fearful and even panicky.
Therefore, Zhu Youtang wanted to see this Sword Saint die in front of him with his own eyes. He definitely would not allow him to see the sun the next day.
" Father." A handsome man in yellow who was about 16 or 17 years old came to Zhu Youtang's side and smiled." Don't worry, Ye Gucheng will definitely lose this battle and die."”
This man was called Zhu Houzhao, the eldest son of Zhu Youtang. He was also the only one left among the many princes of the Ming Empire.
At the same time, he was also a transmigrator, a soul that had transmigrated from the 21st century of another world. Just three days ago, his soul had transmigrated to this chaotic martial arts world where the Great Sui, Great Song, and Great Ming were the three pillars of power. He had possessed the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Empire, who was also the future Emperor of Zheng De, Zhu Houzhao.
It was also because he had seen the legend of Lu Xiaofeng in his previous life and knew the result of the battle in the Forbidden City that Zhu Houzhao dared to say that Ye Gucheng would lose and die. He also flattered Zhu Youtang, this cheap father. Oh no, it was dragon fart.
It was also because he had no other sons that Zhu Youtang loved Zhu Houzhao to the extreme.
Zhu Houzhao's words made Zhu Youtang very happy. He smiled and asked,"Good child, tell me, why is Ye Gucheng going to lose this battle?”
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself. It was written in the book, but he said seriously,"How dare Ye Gucheng try to assassinate my father! My father is the emperor, the true dragon and the son of heaven! If the heavens wanted him dead, how could he, a mere sword, reverse it?”
" Haha, what a good idea." Zhu Youtang laughed heartily." According to what you said, it suits my heart very well." Ignore it? What do you think?"
Zhu Budian bowed and said,"I think that Sword God Ximen Chuixue and Sword Saint Ye Gucheng have both reached the pinnacle of the sword path. Their strength should be on par." However, Sword God Ximen Chuixue walked the path of the Heartless Sword Doctrine. Recently, he had fallen in love with Sun Xiuqing, a disciple of the Emei Sect, and his sword heart had wavered. It was difficult for him to focus on the sword and nothing else. Ye Gucheng probably had a higher chance of winning this battle.”
Zhu Youtang frowned slightly. He obviously did not like Zhu's disregard for telling the truth."Since Ximen Chuixue is willing to pay a favor for me to give him a chance to attack, then I'll give it to him. If Ximen Chuixue wins this battle, everyone will be happy. Even if he loses, he should be able to injure Ye Gucheng a little…"
" Humph," Zhu Youtang's face revealed a trace of ruthlessness." Minister Zhuge and Eunuch Kuihua have set up an inescapable net under the city. Ye Gucheng, this traitor, will never escape."”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Budian and suddenly laughed,""Imperial Uncle, since you think that Ye Gucheng can win and I think that Ximen Chuixue can win, why don't we take a gamble?”
"What do you want to bet on?" Zhu Budian asked indifferently.”
"I heard that Imperial Uncle once fought against the number one devil of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Santong, for seven days and seven nights at the top of Tianshan Mountain. He defeated him and locked him in the ninth level of the Secret Prison of the Dragon Mountain Villa. I believe Imperial Uncle should have interrogated him about his famous martial art, the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art!”Zhu Houzhao smiled and said," Gu Santong must be very powerful to be able to fight with Imperial Uncle for seven days and seven nights. Why don't we bet on this?" If Ximen Chuixue wins, how about Imperial Uncle teach me this divine technique?”
"Indestructible Diamond is a demonic art. If the cultivator's temperament is unstable, it's very easy for him to become a demon and become a peerless demon like Gu Santong," Zhu Bujue rejected flatly. Moreover, the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art could only be cultivated by a child. Even if he taught it to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would not be able to cultivate it.”
"I see! Nephew was ignorant and reckless." Zhu Houzhao said yes, but he was cursing Zhu Bing in his heart. He was obviously afraid of the power of the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, but he insisted that the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art was a demonic art.
Other people might not know, but Zhu Houzhao was very clear that Gu Santong's incident was framed by Zhu Bujue, his "good brother". The power of the 108 masters of Heavenly Lake was all sucked dry by Zhu Bujue, which created the current number one master of Ming Dynasty, Iron Gut Divine Marquis. Gu Santong was simply a scapegoat. What nonsense was there to say that cultivating the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art would turn him into a demon?
As for the Indestructible Diamond, it was not necessary to be a virgin to cultivate it. Zhu Houzhao had watched the TV series " The Best in the World " in his previous life. In the last episode, Gu Santong had said through Su Xin that the Indestructible Diamond was not only a virgin who could cultivate it, nor could he only transform six times in his life. In other words, Zhu Houzhao had been deceived by Gu Santong.
Since he couldn't get the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, then Zhu Wangguan's ability to absorb power was even more impossible. Zhu Houzhao was undoubtedly very disappointed.
The original owner of his body was unwilling to cultivate martial arts and missed the best time to build his foundation. Now, he had to practice martial arts. It would be twice the effort and half the effort.
In the martial world, there were only a few martial arts books that could be used quickly. This time, Zhu Houzhao had wanted to start a gambling game with a sword competition that he knew the result of. He wanted to trick Zhu Bujue into getting a peerless divine skill like the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art. He did not expect that this old fox was more cunning than he had imagined and did not fall for it at all.
Helplessly, Zhu Houzhao could only give up."Since that's the case, then Nephew will bet on Imperial Uncle's Greenfeather Flexible Sword!”
" Zhao 'er, this Green Feather Flexible Sword is my beloved item. I've worn it for more than twenty years. How could you…" Zhu Youtang's words criticized him, but he did not have any intention of scolding him. Obviously, compared to Zhu Bujue, Zhu Houzhao was more caring.
" It's fine." Zhu Budian cupped his hands, seemingly quite confident in this match." I'm not a sword fanatic. I've abandoned the sword for many years. The Green Feather Flexible Sword is just a decoration following me." Today, if the Crown Prince could really guess which of the two was stronger, then it would be clear that he was fated with swords. So what if he gave the Green Feather Flexible Sword to him?”
At this moment, on the summit of the forbidden city, Ye Gucheng moved.
