Chu Ze's heart sank. He understood. Three years ago, the news of Chu Yuan's defeat was false! He faked his death and escaped, secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

"Everything that belongs to you?" Chu Ze sneered, "The throne has never been yours. You are nothing but a traitor!"

"Traitor?" Chu Yuan roared, "If it weren't for your father's conspiracy to harm me, the throne should have been mine! Now, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, and I will make you pay with blood!"

Chu Ze clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes sharp, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

"Kill!" Chu Yuan gave an order, and the men in black rushed towards Chu Ze like a tide.

Chu Ze and Shen Yue stood back to back, brandishing their swords and engaging in a fierce battle with the men in black. Chu Ze was highly skilled in martial arts and his swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword could take a life. Although Shen Yue was a woman, she was no less brave than a man, waving the long whip in her hand vigorously, repelling the approaching men in black one by one.

However, there were so many men in black that Chu Ze and Shen Yue gradually felt overwhelmed.

"Shen Yue, protect yourself!" Chu Ze shouted, pushed Shen Yue behind him, and fought the black-clad men who were rushing up alone.

Chu Ze was like a fierce tiger, charging left and right among the men in black, swords flashing, blood and flesh flying everywhere. However, the men in black were like maggots on the tarsal bones, coming one after another, surging forward continuously.

Chu Ze gradually had more wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red.

"Chu Ze, you are already at the end of your strength, so just surrender!" Chu Yuan said with a sneer while standing in the distance.

Chu Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered: "I haven't fallen yet, and it's still uncertain who will win!"

Chu Ze took a deep breath and poured his inner strength into the sword, which emitted a dazzling light. He swung the sword fiercely, and a huge sword energy swept out, knocking all the black-clothed men around him away.

"Hmph! A dying struggle!" Chu Yuan snorted coldly, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of Chu Ze.

The golden sword in Chu Yuan's hand exuded a sharp sword energy, pointing directly at Chu Ze's throat.

Chu Ze quickly raised his sword to block, and the two swords collided, making a crisp sound.

Chu Ze only felt a powerful force coming, his knuckles cracked, and the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

Chu Yuan's strength was far beyond his imagination!
Chu Ze's heart sank, he knew he was no match for Chu Yuan.

"Chu Ze, prepare to die!" Chu Yuan roared and swung his sword to attack again.

Chu Ze barely blocked a few attacks before being stabbed in the chest by Chu Yuan's sword.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out, Chu Ze's body shook and he almost fell down.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Yue exclaimed upon seeing this, and rushed to Chu Ze regardless of everything and supported his shaky body.

"Shen Yue, go away quickly! Don't worry about me!" Chu Ze said weakly.

"No! I want to be with the emperor!" Shen Yue said firmly, with tears in her eyes.

Chu Yuan looked at the two of them and sneered, "How touching! But you will all die here today!"

Chu Yuan raised the sword in his hand, ready to give Chu Ze the final blow.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and blocked Chu Ze and Shen Yue.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden-masked man was knocked back several steps.

Chu Ze and Shen Yue looked up and saw a burly man in black clothes standing in front of them.

The man was wearing a black mask, so his features could not be seen clearly, but from the look in his eyes, one could see the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Who are you?" Chu Yuan asked cautiously. The man in black did not answer, but slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

The long sword was unsheathed, flashing with cold light, and a murderous aura spread.

"Are you here to die?" Chu Yuan sneered.

The man in black still didn't say anything, but slowly raised the long knife in his hand.

The blade pointed directly at Chu Yuan, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from the blade.

A war is about to break out...

The man in black stood still, like an iron tower, emitting a cold murderous aura. He glanced at Chu Yuan with contempt, and slowly spoke in a low and hoarse voice, like a demon from hell: "With you, are you worthy of asking my name?"

Chu Yuan was furious: "Arrogant bastard! You are courting death!"

He roared, and his body turned into a golden light. The long sword in his hand, with a sharp sword energy, pierced straight into the throat of the man in black.

The man in black still didn't say anything, but slowly raised the long sword in his hand. The movement seemed slow, but he was the first to arrive, and the blade accurately blocked Chu Yuan's attack.

"clang!"

There was a deafening sound of metal collision and sparks flew.

Chu Yuan only felt a surge of overwhelming force, his palms trembled violently, and the long sword in his hand almost slipped out. He was horrified, the strength of this man in black was so terrifying!
The man in black forced Chu Yuan back with a knife, and then he appeared in front of Chu Ze and Shen Yue like a ghost. The long knife in his hand turned into a black lightning and slashed towards Chu Ze.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Shen Yue exclaimed and stood in front of Chu Ze regardless of everything.

"puff!"

The sound of the long knife entering the flesh was heard, and blood splattered.

Chu Ze widened his eyes and looked at everything that was happening before his eyes in disbelief.

Shen Yue groaned and slowly fell to the ground, with blood staining her clothes red.

"Shen Yue!" Chu Ze roared in grief, hugged Shen Yue tightly, tears streaming down his face.

The man in black watched the scene expressionlessly and said coldly: "Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. If you want to survive, you must give up everything."

Chu Ze raised his head, his eyes red, staring at the man in black, gritting his teeth and saying, "Even if I die, I will not abandon Shen Yue!"

The man in black smiled contemptuously: "Stupid!"

He raised his sword again, ready to kill Chu Ze.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of soldiers in black armor riding horses towards them, led by none other than Gao Fei, the commander of the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty! I am late!" Gao Fei jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

When Chu Ze saw Gao Fei, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He suppressed his grief and pointed at the man in black and said, "Gao Fei, kill this man for me!"

"Yes, sir!" Gao Fei stood up, drew the sword from his waist, and led the imperial guards to surround the man in black.

The man in black looked around, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "You ants think you can stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, his figure turned into a black shadow, charging left and right among the imperial guards, swords flashing, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Although the imperial guards were well-trained, they were like paper in front of the man in black, and could not withstand a single blow. (End of this chapter)
