Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

With a loud bang, Chu Ze's palm power was blocked by the black shadow, and the two of them took several steps back at the same time.

Chu Ze looked closely and saw that the person who blocked his attack was an old man in black. The old man had white hair and beard, and his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright and radiated a terrifying light.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked in a deep voice.

"I'm Tianji Old Man." The old man said calmly.

"Old Man Tianji?" Chu Ze frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard of this name. "Why do you want to stop me?"

"Prince Jing is a disciple of my Tianji Sect, so naturally I have to protect him." said old man Tianji.

"Tianji Sect?" Chu Ze sneered, "I don't care whether you are from Tianji Sect or Diji Sect, no one can save him today!"

"Really?" A cold light flashed in the old man Tianji's eyes, "Then let me learn from your majesty's skills!"

After saying that, old man Tianji flashed and turned into a shadow, attacking Chu Ze.

Chu Ze was not to be outdone and threw a punch at the opponent.

The two men exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, and their fists and palms collided, making bursts of rumbling sounds.

For a moment, the two of them fought on equal terms.

Chu Ze was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that this old man Tianji was so powerful that he could be on par with him.

"It seems that I still underestimated you." Chu Ze said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Elder Tianji said calmly, "I only know the basics."

"Humph!" Chu Ze snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then let me see your true abilities!"

After saying that, Chu Ze's aura surged, and a powerful pressure swept out, pressing the air around him so hard that it seemed to solidify.

Old man Tianji's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Chu Ze's strength to be so terrifying.

"It seems that I am going to get serious about this." Old man Tianji took a deep breath, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

The two men fought again, and this time, the battle was more intense. The surrounding rocks and plants were shattered into dust by the palm winds of the two men.

Chu Ze became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Each of his punches contained the power to destroy the world, as if he wanted to tear old man Tianji into pieces.

Old man Tianji was not to be outdone, and used all his strength to resist Chu Ze's attack.

The two fought back and forth for a long time, but it was still difficult to determine the winner.

At this moment, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly came from the distance.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The rebels are coming!" A soldier came running over in a panic to report.

Chu Ze frowned slightly and turned to look into the distance. He saw dust flying in the distance and a large army was coming towards them in a mighty manner.

"Damn it!" Chu Ze cursed inwardly. He didn't expect the rebels to come at this time. "Your Majesty, let's retreat first!" the soldier said anxiously.

Chu Ze hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He knew that now was not the time to fight a protracted war and that the rebels had to be dealt with first.

"Go!" Chu Ze gave an order and led the army to retreat.

Seeing this, Old Man Tianji did not pursue him, but took Chu Yun away.

Chu Ze looked at the rebels going away, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Rebels, I will wipe you all out sooner or later!"

Chu Ze led his army to retreat quickly into the valley. The rocks along the way trembled with the sound of the soldiers' footsteps. A breeze passed by, and the aftertaste of gunpowder on the battlefield still floated in the nose. Chu Ze rode on a handsome black horse, his eyes as steady as the sea, seemingly calm, but making people feel awe for no reason.

"Your Majesty, that old guy seems a bit tricky..." The ever-victorious General Li Ren leaned forward, rode his horse closer, and looked worried. He had just watched the battle between Chu Ze and Old Man Tianji from the periphery of the battlefield, and he felt indescribable horror in his heart. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have expected that there would be someone in the world who could fight your Majesty to a draw?

Chu Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile, "He's just an old man, do you really think I can't do anything to him? He's just lived longer and seen some tricks, but in essence he's still an ant that I can crush to death with my hands." Although his tone was arrogant, there was an unquestionable confidence in his words, as if the world would really tremble because of his words in the next moment.

"You old-fashioned Tianji Sect, how dare you interfere in my affairs?" Chu Ze sneered in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Li Ren was terrified, but did not answer. He knew very well that the emperor's "threat" was not just a casual remark, but could really be put into action.

At this moment, a scout came running in from the road behind him, his face full of anxiety. "Your Majesty, it's bad! There's an ambush ahead, it seems the rebels have been prepared, they are blocking the mountain road, blocking our way back to the camp!"

Chu Ze's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and the whole army fell silent instantly. The soldiers around him were worried. Although they had heard of Chu Ze's peerless martial arts, the other party was able to predict their marching route without taking any action. This sense of crisis without seeing the enemy was enough to make people feel cold.

"Interesting." Chu Ze said in a low voice, with a playful smile on his face, "These rebels are becoming more and more ignorant of the world."

"Does Your Majesty have a solution?" Li Ren asked tentatively.

"Countermeasures?" Chu Ze turned his head with a sneer on his face. "I am leading the iron army of the Ming Dynasty. Why do I need countermeasures?" He paused for a moment and raised his voice suddenly: "Pass on my order. All troops must break through. Anyone who sees the rebels will be killed without asking for a fight! Anyone who dares to block the way will have his head buried with this mountain of soil!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers responded loudly, and the momentum was earth-shaking.

However, when Chu Ze's army had marched less than half a mile towards the area blocked by the rebels, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky, followed by a sky full of arrows shooting out from the bushes, like a rainstorm.

"Oh no! It's an ambush by the rebels!" Li Ren was horrified and quickly swung his sword to block a few sharp arrows, but he seemed to be in a panic.

Chu Ze remained motionless, his face calm, looking down upon the entire battlefield as if he were watching a child's play. He casually raised his right hand, and as his sleeves fluttered, a powerful palm wind swept out from him, and the arrows that were flying towards him were shattered when they were several feet away from him, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground, without even shaking the corners of his clothes.

"What a clumsy trick." Chu Ze snorted coldly, turned his head and looked in one direction, his voice was like thunder, "You coward, get out of here!"

As if hearing his call, a teasing laugh suddenly came from the opposite hilltop, "The Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty is indeed majestic and powerful." The voice was not loud, but it was full of sarcasm, "However, I'm afraid your majesty has come to an end this time."

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a red robe walked out of the woods. He had a resolute face, extremely bright eyes, and a long sword in his hand. He looked very imposing. Behind him stood a group of fully armed soldiers, holding swords and guns, suppressing Chu Ze and others. (End of this chapter)
