Gao Fei was shocked when he saw this. The strength of this man in black was so terrifying!
He did not dare to delay and quickly joined the battle, waving his sword.

For a moment, the flash of swords and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Chu Ze hugged Shen Yue tightly, watching the brutal fight in front of him, his heart filled with despair.

Am I really going to die here?
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with thunder and lightning. Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the earth like day.

The wind was howling and sand and rocks were flying.

The man in black suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked up at the sky, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Chu Yuan also felt something was wrong and asked in horror.

At this moment, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the man in black directly.

"what!"

The man in black let out a shrill scream, and his body was instantly swallowed by lightning, turning into ashes.

The strong wind suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky became clear again.

Everyone stared blankly at what was happening before their eyes, as if they were dreaming.

Chu Ze looked at Shen Yue, who had already died in his arms, and was heartbroken. He slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky, his eyes filled with confusion.

Who am I?

I, what exactly should I do?
In the distance, Chu Yuan watched all this, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

Chu Ze, do you think this is the end?
I will definitely kill you!

Suddenly, Chu Ze felt Shen Yue move in his arms.

He quickly looked down, only to see Shen Yue slowly opening her eyes and weakly asking, "Your Majesty, are we still alive?"

Chu Ze looked at Shen Yue in disbelief and said excitedly: "You...you are not dead?"

Shen Yue smiled slightly and said, "I am blessed with a good life, and the King of Hell will not take me away."

Chu Ze hugged Shen Yue tightly, tears welling up in his eyes again. This time, they were tears of joy.

……

At the same time, deep in the palace, in a mysterious room.

A man in a black dragon robe stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky in the distance, with a strange smile on his lips.

"Interesting, really interesting." He whispered, "It seems that I have to start my chess game all over again."

He turned around slowly, revealing a handsome and evil face.

This face is exactly the same as Chu Ze's!
Shen Yue's resurrection made Chu Ze feel both sad and happy. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own flesh and blood. Shen Yue leaned weakly in his arms, and the joy of surviving the disaster made her pale face flush.

"Your Majesty, I am so thirsty..." Shen Yue's voice was as weak as a mosquito.

Chu Ze quickly ordered the palace maid to bring warm water and carefully fed Shen Yue to drink.

"Your Majesty, I'm so hungry..." Shen Yue said in a low voice after drinking the water.

Chu Ze smiled helplessly. This girl was really lucky. She could still think about eating after escaping death. He asked someone to prepare light porridge and fed Shen Yue mouthful by mouthful.

Shen Yue was full and in better spirits. She looked at Chu Ze with tenderness in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again..."

Chu Ze gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I won't let you leave me either."

The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and tenderness.

However, this warm atmosphere did not last long as it was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Chu Yuan rushed in with a team of imperial guards. He looked at the two people hugging each other, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes.

"Chu Ze, how long do you think you can live?" Chu Yuan sneered.

Chu Ze let go of Shen Yue, stood up, and stared at Chu Yuan coldly: "My life is not something you can take away."

"Really? Then let me see what else you can do!" Chu Yuan gave an order, and the imperial guards rushed forward and surrounded Chu Ze. A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, and he slowly drew the sword at his waist, pointing the sword directly at Chu Yuan: "Then come on!"

A fierce battle broke out again, with swords flashing and blood and flesh flying.

Chu Ze is a martial arts expert, he can fight against a hundred people alone, and the imperial guards are no match for him.

Chu Yuan looked at the retreating imperial guards with fear in his heart. He did not expect that Chu Ze's strength was so strong!
"Chu Ze, who... who are you?" Chu Yuan asked in horror.

Chu Ze sneered: "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure turned into a shadow and instantly appeared in front of Chu Yuan, with the sword in his hand piercing Chu Yuan's heart.

Chu Yuan was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the chest by the sword.

"You..." Chu Yuan widened his eyes, looking at Chu Ze in disbelief, blood gushing out of his mouth.

Chu Ze drew his sword, and Chu Yuan's body fell weakly to the ground. He twitched a few times and then died.

Upon seeing this, the imperial guards dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Chu Ze glanced at everyone coldly and said in a deep voice: "I will not kill the surrendered soldiers."

The soldiers of the imperial guards kowtowed and expressed their gratitude as if they had been pardoned.

Chu Ze turned around, walked in front of Shen Yue, and said softly, "It's okay."

Shen Yue looked at Chu Ze, who was covered in blood, with worry in her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

Chu Ze shook his head: "I'm fine."

He supported Shen Yue and left the bloody palace.

……

At the same time, deep in the palace, in that mysterious room.

The man in black stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky in the distance, with a strange smile on his lips.

"Chu Ze, do you think you won?" He whispered, "My chess game has just begun."

He turned around slowly, revealing a handsome and evil face.

This face is exactly the same as Chu Ze's!
……

In the following days, Chu Ze worked hard to govern the country and rectified the government, and the Ming Dynasty gradually regained its former prosperity.

However, Chu Ze still felt a little uneasy. He knew that the man in black was not dead and he would definitely appear again at some point.

In order to cope with future crises, Chu Ze began to secretly train an elite force called "Shadow Guards".

The Shadow Guards were personally selected and trained by Chu Ze. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and loyal. Their only mission was to protect the safety of Chu Ze and Shen Yue.

……

One year later, on a cold winter night.

Chu Ze and Shen Yue were resting in the bedroom. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and the window was opened.

A man in black appeared silently in the room.

Chu Ze suddenly opened his eyes, protected Shen Yue behind him, and stared at the man in black vigilantly.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked coldly.

The man in black didn't say anything. He slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face.

"Long time no see, Chu Ze." The man in black sneered.

"It's you!" A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes. He didn't expect that the man in black would appear again.

"Yes, it's me." The man in black said, "I'm back." (End of this chapter)
