"Ye Gucheng?"
Although Emperor Zheng De lived deep in the palace, he had more or less heard of the things in the martial world.
"I didn't expect that a commoner from the mountains could reach the heavens!" said the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Gucheng.”
Although his words were humble, his expression was still as cold as ice.
It was as if he did not take this matter to heart at all.
He was so arrogant that he didn't care about the imperial power at all!
"It seems that the decisive battle on the summit of the forbidden city was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end!" Emperor Zheng De said.”
"Not bad!" Ye Gucheng's eyes were filled with admiration.
"You are a beauty, why are you a thief?" Emperor Zheng De sighed.
Ye Gucheng's face was still as cold as ice. He said,""Achievement is king, defeat is a thief!"
"A thief is a thief!" A voice came from the dragon couch.
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
Ye Gucheng's expression changed.
Because, with his strength, he did not notice that there was actually another person on the dragon couch.
A trace of worry flashed in the depths of Emperor Zheng De's eyes.
He thought that since no one had discovered Zhu Houwei, he might be able to save his life.
But now, it was all too late!
"Who are you?" asked Ye Gucheng.
Zhu Houwei slowly walked down from the dragon bed and looked straight at Ye Gucheng without avoiding his gaze.
"This king is Great Ming's King Wei, His Majesty's only blood related brother, a traitor. Hurry up and surrender, lest disaster befall your entire family!”
The solemness in Ye Gucheng's eyes was swept away.
From the beginning of his plan, he had been studying the personalities of the royal family.
Zhu Houwei, King of Wei, is an incompetent person and is not worth worrying about.
Ye Gucheng looked back at Emperor Zheng De and said,""I respect you as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and give you a chance to commit suicide!”
Emperor Zheng De laughed coldly." I am the ruler of the Nine and Five. I am destined. Since you use a sword, I will compete with you!"”
Ye Gucheng was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty was biding his time?
However, the suspicion in his heart flashed past.
No matter how strong his opponent was, he was confident that he would not be able to escape from the sword in his hand.
"Your Majesty doesn't have a sword, how can we compete?" Ye Gucheng asked.”
"I don't have a sword in my hand, but I have a sword in my heart!”
Emperor Zheng De looked at Zhu Houwei beside him, his eyes full of regret.
He thought to himself, If my brother didn't come tonight, perhaps I could have saved my life for the time being.”
"Come, let me see the power of the Transcendent Flying Immortal!" he said solemnly.”
Duan Tianya and the other two secret agents had tears in their eyes.
They hated themselves for being so weak that the ruler of a country could be slaughtered by martial artists!
Could it be that the glorious Ming Dynasty would end here today?
"Wait!"
Zhu Houwei took a step forward and said," If His Majesty has something to do, I will do my best. Imperial Brother, let me test the sharpness of this thief's sword first."”
Emperor Zheng De looked deeply at Zhu Houwei, his eyes red.
"Good! Today, we brothers will fight side by side!"”
Zhu Houwei walked up to Ye Gucheng and said,""Ye Gu Cheng, I accept your challenge!”
Ye Gucheng didn't make a fuss about it.
"I take back my previous evaluation of you!”
Ye Gucheng straightened his long sword and thrust it forward.
Zhu Houwei did not resist or resist.
The sword seemed to move very slowly, but before the sword chime could be heard, the tip of the sword was already pressed against Zhu Houwei's heart.
He lowered his shoulders and lowered his elbows, and his wrist gently stretched forward.
The tip of the sword was about to pierce through the beating heart.
Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao glared at Ye Gucheng.
Shangguan Haitang closed her eyes, unable to bear to see King Wei die an unnatural death.
"Ding!"
A slight sound of metal clashing could be heard. Ye Gucheng's expression changed and he quickly retreated.
When he stood still, he felt a burning sensation on his wrist.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhu Houwei, who was standing still.
His clothes were neat and tidy, without any sword marks.
It was as if the sword in Ye Gucheng's hand had not touched him.
The son of King Nan was a little unhappy.
The crime of rebellion was to implicate nine families.
For such a big matter, if Ye Gucheng didn't want to end it quickly, he would show off his unique skill.
Among everyone in the hall, only Ye Gucheng knew what had happened.
His sword had indeed touched Zhu Houwei.
However, the strange thing was that the tip of the sword seemed to have hit a piece of black iron.
It was impossible to penetrate.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at the expressionless Zhu Houwei. A sense of regret suddenly emerged in his heart.
He was originally an outsider, so there was no need for him to be involved in the plot of the heir of the Southern King to usurp the throne.
However, he could not suppress the ambition in his heart.
In the end, he would also suffer the consequences!
Moonlight shone into the royal study. With the moonlight, Ye Gucheng once again performed the Transcendent Flying Fairy.
For a moment, the hall was filled with silver light.
He couldn't tell if it was moonlight or sword light.
The son of the king of the south and the eunuch Wang An looked up and hoped that Zhu Houwei, the king of Wei, would lie under the sword.
On the other side, Emperor Zheng De had a solemn expression, but his fists were clenched tightly under his dragon robe.
Obviously, he was very concerned about Zhu Houwei's safety.
The silver light touched Zhu Houwei again.
But this time, he moved!
It was like the brilliant sun, carrying out the power of heaven's punishment!
With a flick of his finger, the sword was cut in half.
Ye Gucheng took a few steps back. When he stood still, blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
"What?"
"Why is White Cloud City Lord Ye Gucheng injured?”
The son of King Nan and Wang An exclaimed in unison.
Ye Gucheng was their only way to kill the emperor.
If Ye Gucheng was defeated, they would die.
Emperor Zheng De's eyes lit up. Was Ye Gucheng seriously injured?
Ye Gucheng stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand.
After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation."Deva Grandmaster?"
"Your knowledge is not bad!"
Zhu Houwei's words were like a clap of thunder.
Everyone in the hall was shocked speechless.
Even Emperor Zheng De was the same.
Because even he didn't know when his royal brother had broken through to the Heaven Tier.
In his eyes, Zhu Houwei's talent in martial arts was not outstanding.
After all, the Heavenly Materials and Precious Medicine taken from the depths of the national treasury had only pushed him to Houtian third stage.
However, he did not intend to ask why.
He only needed to feel happy for him.
" I thought that with my Zongshi realm pinnacle cultivation and my sword technique, I would be able to put up a fight against a Celestial Being Grandmaster!" Ye Gucheng said with a bitter smile.”
"I didn't expect him to be so arrogant!”
"You don't know anything about the power of a Celestial Grandmaster!" Zhu Houwei said.”
As he spoke, his hair flew up without any wind, and his body was actually three feet off the ground.
Without any support, his body floated in the air.
With Zhu Houwei's early stage Heaven Tier cultivation, he could already float in the air without relying on external forces.
However, it consumed a lot of qi.
" It's recorded in the martial arts manual that the grandmaster has the ability to fly," Ye Gucheng said." You're right!"”
The son of King Nan was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. He shouted,"Immortal, it's an immortal. The heavens want me dead!”
"Immortal?"
Zhu Houwei landed and snorted,""Even immortals have to prostrate themselves under the imperial power!”
