Chu Ze quickly dodged sideways and blocked with his sword.

There was a loud "ding" sound, sparks flew everywhere. The two men fought in one place, back and forth, and it was difficult to separate them.

Although Black Hawk was seriously injured, his fighting spirit was getting stronger.

He acted ruthlessly, without any regard for himself, and only wanted to kill Chu Ze.

Chu Ze responded calmly and looked for flaws.

He knew that if he passively accepted the attack, he would be at a disadvantage sooner or later. He had to fight quickly to win.

He silently recited the formula, urging the true energy in his body to gather on the sword in his hand. In an instant, the sword body shone brightly, emitting a dazzling green light.

Seeing this, Black Hawk sneered with disdain, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He knew the power of this sword very well, as Temujin died under it. Thinking of this, Black Hawk gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

"Chu Ze! You despicable villain, don't be so proud! I still have a trump card!" Black Hawk suddenly raised his head to the sky and howled, clasping his hands together and muttering something. Immediately, he touched the ground with both hands, and the ground cracked. Countless black air gushed out from the ground and condensed into a huge black hole in the air.

The black hole was like a whirlpool, emitting a disgusting stench. Countless black tentacles stretched out from it and rolled towards Chu Ze. Chu Ze had never seen such a strange sight before, and he was horrified. He hurriedly urged the sword, but only cut off a few tentacles. More tentacles continued to pour out and soon entangled him.

The pain of being entangled by the tentacles made Chu Ze feel like dying, but the most terrifying thing was the huge suction from the tentacles. It seemed to suck away all of Chu Ze's vitality, making him extremely weak. Chu Ze struggled desperately, but could not break free. In desperation, he took out the Jade Seal of Destiny from his arms and prayed for divine protection again.

However, this time, the jade seal showed no reaction. Chu Ze was in despair. Was God going to abandon me? At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the void:

"Young man, don't give up hope. The destiny is in your hands, and the Jade Seal will help you. Next, I will teach you the ultimate spell to activate the Jade Seal. Please listen carefully."

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately did as he was told. The jade seal gradually glowed with a strange light, and countless mysterious runes appeared on it. Chu Ze immediately followed the old man's instructions, forming seals and chanting spells. In an instant, a golden light shot up into the sky and instantly filled the sky above the battlefield.

Wherever the golden light passed, the black hole shattered, and countless tentacles turned into ashes. The restraints on Chu Ze disappeared instantly, and his body was filled with true energy, as if he was assisted by God.

Chu Ze felt the power surging from his body, and his heart was filled with pride.

Years of hard work and persistence finally burst out at this moment.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he held the Void-Breaking Sword in his hand, pointing it at the Black Hawk.

"Black Hawk, your doom is here!"

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the mountains and rivers lost their color.

A golden light streaked across the sky like a comet, leaving no grass growing wherever it passed.

Black Hawk felt an inexplicable fear rising and instinctively wanted to dodge.

However, it was too late, the golden light instantly penetrated his chest.

With a scream, this dreaded barbarian commander fell down.

Chu Ze put away his sword and stood up, his momentum as powerful as a rainbow.

He looked around and saw that the barbarian army had already been defeated.

The attack just now obviously shocked their minds.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they all cheered.

"General Chu is so powerful that the barbarians will submit to him from now on!"

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, and we will surely unify the country!"

Countless words of praise came like a tide, but Chu Ze just smiled indifferently.

The fruits of victory were hard-won, but he knew that this was only the first step in a long march.

Although the barbarians have been defeated, those in the court who are jealous of talented people will probably become even more arrogant and domineering.

What will happen to the capital when I leave?
I wonder if the Emperor is okay?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Chu Ze shook his head and forced himself back to reality.

The top priority is to deal with the aftermath and stabilize the people's hearts.

Thinking of Li Xing's sacrifice, Chu Ze couldn't help but burst into tears.

This loyal deputy general was still thinking about himself before he died.

"Li Xing, your spirit in heaven must bless Fengyang."

Chu Ze prayed silently and ordered people to bury Li Xing's body with proper honor.

In the next few days, Chu Zema was busy non-stop.

Comforting the soldiers, rewarding the troops, comforting the wounded, and providing relief to the families of the dead - a series of affairs occupied all his time and energy.

Fortunately, with the assistance of his trusted aides such as Commander Zhao, he felt a little relieved.

Half a month passed in a flash, and Yongning Pass finally regained some vitality.

The people had smiles on their faces again and the morale of the soldiers was high.

Chu Ze then remembered that it was time to report the battle situation to the capital.

He wrote quickly, detailing the entire battle.

At the end, he even pleaded with His Majesty to send more troops to strengthen border defense.

To prevent the barbarians from making a comeback and invading our territory again.

After finishing the memorial, Chu Ze was about to send someone to deliver it to the capital when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, the Jade Seal of Destiny!"

He quickly took out the magical jade seal, his eyes flickering.

This time, thanks to it, he was able to escape danger and defeat Black Hawk.

But the power of the jade seal is truly amazing.

If it falls into the hands of evil people, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze frowned and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that I must return to the capital as soon as possible and report this matter to the emperor."

"But before that, we have to find a safe place to keep the seal properly."

Chu Ze hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He called his confidant and ordered:
"Prepare your horse immediately and travel back to Fengyang at full speed."

"Give this jade seal to Lord Du and ask him to keep it for the time being."

"Just tell him that I entrusted it to him, and he must guard it carefully and not lose it."

The confidant took the order and left, and Chu Ze felt slightly relieved.

With a loyal and upright man like Du Renjie in charge, he can rest assured that the imperial seal will be protected by him.

Next, we should consider how to report to the emperor.

Just as Chu Ze was thinking hard, Commander Zhao suddenly came to report:
"General, there is an imperial decree from the capital, and His Majesty urgently summons you back to the capital to report on your duties!"

Chu Ze was shocked and quickly took the imperial edict.

I saw it clearly written on the yellow silk:
"Chu Ze, I have obeyed your order. You have made many outstanding achievements in the southwest, and I commend you very much.

However, there have been many troubles in the capital recently, and the government has been in decline.

You are a loyal and important minister, you cannot stay here for long.

You should set off immediately, travel day and night, and return to Beijing to report on your work.

I await your triumphant return so that we can discuss state affairs and create greater achievements.

Admire this. "

After reading the imperial edict, Chu Ze was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

I didn't expect that the emperor valued me so much that he was still thinking about my triumphant return despite his busy schedule.

It seems that the situation in the capital will become more and more complicated.

Otherwise, given the emperor's temperament, he would never be so eager to call me back.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze became more and more anxious.

He immediately returned to the central military tent and summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

"This summon from the capital is of great importance."

This general will set off immediately and rush back to the capital at night." (End of this chapter)
