Chapter 158
"Come out, there's no need to hide."

The moonlight shines on the dim street, falling on the recesses in the ground, reflecting a little light, and a figure is reflected in the recessed water, it is Chen Shuai.

Chen Shuai stopped and turned to look behind him. There was endless darkness behind him, and there seemed to be no one. After waiting for a moment, a figure slowly appeared. Strangely, he did not make any sound while walking.

After a while, Chen Shuai finally saw the face of the person who came. He was a middle-aged man, dressed in black, with a weathered look on his face, and no expression on his face. When he saw Chen Shuai, he stopped.

"Someone wants your life!" The man in black said calmly, without any emotion. When he said this, he seemed to be talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

Hearing this, Chen Shuai suddenly smiled, with a bright smile on his face. He whispered three words: "Dog Emperor?"

This title immediately made the man in black's pupils shrink slightly, and the expression on his face finally changed slightly, becoming more sinister and terrifying. He did not answer, but used actual actions to express everything. In just an instant, Black The man in clothes took action directly.

Chen Shuai's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. He could feel that the man in black was stronger than the old eunuch.

I saw Chen Shuai take a step forward, but the movement of his hand was not slow at all. With a gentle squeeze, the air around him seemed to be compressed, gradually converging on Chen Shuai's fist. The true energy surged and poured out with a bang. The moment it came out, the air trembled slightly, and a stream of air several meters long hit the man in black.

When the man in black saw it, his expression did not change at all. With a hiss, the moonlight shone on the sharp blade, shining with a bright brilliance. He held the sword in his hand and gently made a slash. A majestic and surging sword energy instantly Spurted out from the blade.

Accompanied by a shocking loud noise, the sword energy and fist blade collided in an instant, and violent airflows were launched in all directions like exploding fireworks, with astonishing power, destroying the surrounding houses and bricks. Destroy small holes one by one.

Such a loud movement quickly alerted others, but no one dared to show up at this time. Even some brave people just hid in the dark and watched quietly.

There are two people, a monk and a man in black. Just looking at the aura of the two people, they all give people a feeling of terror, especially when they see the messy ground, everyone's hearts are trembling, thinking about the fate of the two people. Given his status, those who dare to use force within the capital must have some strength.

After a brief confrontation, both Chen Shuai and the man in black realized the strength of the other. This was just a superficial test, but it allowed the two to intuitively understand the strength of the other.

The man in black looked at Chen Shuai with a solemn expression. There was no one in the world who could block his sword, but he had never seen someone as easy as Chen Shuai. This person was indeed as mentioned above, incredibly powerful. .

He couldn't believe that there were such powerful young people in the world. However, no matter how powerful he was, he still had to complete the task tonight. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally they all turned into the movements of his hands. The man in black took action again. .

This time, neither side held back. The man in black also used a knife, and his body flew out like a cannonball. The distance of more than ten meters was almost in the blink of an eye. The moment the opponent took action, Chen Shuai's whole body immediately condensed. A faint golden light enveloped the whole body, like a battle armor. As the golden body moved, it became more condensed.

Bang bang bang!
The two engaged in a fierce battle. Under the quiet night sky, there was only the sound of the two fighting. The collision of fists and blades sounded particularly harsh, and the sound of gold and iron echoed throughout the street.

"That's it."

The man in black snorted coldly and used his strongest move. As his voice fell, the air around him almost became distorted, and the darkness visible to the naked eye seemed to be swallowed up by his knife, endless. The true energy gathered on the blade, and the sword trembled, as if it could not withstand such majestic true energy. As a blade flashed across, the man in black's attack fell instantly.

Chen Shuai's brows condensed, and he realized how terrifying the other party was with all his strength. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward. Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Shuai, thinking about how he should deal with it. Chen Shuai did not disappoint everyone. , it was still a punch, but this punch was extremely frightening. A huge shadow of the fist broke through the endless darkness and collided with a long knife made of true energy.

The moment the two came into contact, a gust of wind suddenly whipped up around them. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were enveloped in wind and dust. The green bricks on the ground were overturned with a bang, then turned into powder, rose up, and scattered around the surrounding houses. It simply couldn't withstand the attack of the two men. Like melting ice, the house was gradually losing its original appearance.

I don't know how long it took, but all the buildings within a hundred meters of the two were completely destroyed by the two. The battle finally came to an end, and everything gradually calmed down. As the dust fell, two standing figures appeared. It gradually emerged, and what was strange was that neither the man in black nor Chen Shuai seemed to be injured.

There was a click, something seemed to have cracked in Chen Shuai's body, blood stains overflowed from his skin, and drops of blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. Just when everyone thought that the battle ended with Chen Shuai's defeat, they saw the man in black holding the sword tightly in his arm. Suddenly it dropped down and the sword was stuck on the ground. Everyone was shocked to find that the breath of the man in black disappeared the moment the sword hit the ground.

The winner was not the man in black but Chen Shuai. This scene shocked everyone. Chen Shuai looked at the body of the man in black and coughed slightly to recover from his injuries. If it weren’t for the golden body protection this time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The opponent's sword energy is so sharp that even the golden body can't stop it.

After getting rid of the man in black, Chen Shuai left. As for the person who was secretly observing, he ignored it. Even though he was injured now, he still had the power to take action. Everyone obviously also had this scruple, so until Chen Shuai left No one took action, but watched Chen Shuai leave.

Not long after Chen Shuai left, the news spread to the ears of all forces at an alarming speed. Although the identity of the man in black was secret, it was not difficult for some people to guess. It was Chen Shuai's identity. It suddenly attracted everyone's attention. No one thought that Chen Shuai was so powerful. What's even more strange is that they had never heard of Chen Shuai's reputation.

Inside the palace.

The emperor who was reviewing the memorial suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He put down the memorial and looked up at the darkness outside the gate. The palace looked brightly lit, but it felt extremely dull and depressing.

"Is the emperor worried about the swordsman's mission?" The old eunuch serving tea at the side couldn't help but asked with concern when he saw the emperor looking like this.

"I don't know why, but I have an ominous premonition in my heart." The emperor did not deny it and expressed his thoughts.

After listening in, the old lady thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the swordsman is more powerful than the old slave. He must be able to kill that monk."

"I am not doubting the swordsman's strength, but I am worried about the demon. The imperial city seems a little too quiet tonight." The emperor shook his head and said.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he saw the figure walking towards the main hall not far from the door. The sound of footsteps soon attracted the attention of the old eunuch, and he followed his gaze and looked outside. "What are you here for?"

Seeing the visitor's face, the emperor couldn't help but have a cold look on his face, and his eyes were full of disgust when he looked at him.

"Your Majesty, you and I are in a cooperative relationship after all. Can't I come and meet my partner?" The man smiled sinisterly and called the Emperor, but he did not show any respect, let alone salute.

"But this is the palace, not a place for a monster like you to come." the emperor replied.

"No, no, no, this will no longer be the palace. To be precise, this will no longer be your palace, but my palace!" The demon shook his head and denied, still with a very unbeatable expression on his face. He didn't care at all about the emperor's anger.

"What do you want to say?" the emperor asked coldly.

The demon smiled and said: "The emperor hides in the palace every day. It's really boring. He doesn't know what's going on outside. The capital is very lively tonight. Two peerless masters are fighting in the capital, which alarms countless people. I I thought that the emperor should know a peerless master, so I brought his bones. Why don’t the emperor see who he is?"

After saying that, the demon threw a pair of bones on the ground. The bones fell apart instantly when they hit the ground. Seeing this, the old eunuch shouted angrily: "How bold!"

The moment the emperor saw the skeleton, his pupils shrank. Although he did not recognize the skeleton, he inferred the identity of the skeleton from the demon's words. It was the swordsman. If the swordsman died, he died in the hands of Chen Shuai. This It made his face look ugly.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that there is such a powerful master hidden behind the emperor. Even I didn't notice it. If it weren't for this accidental discovery, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark. However, I think the emperor is recruiting These are not the only masters, right? If you want to deal with me, these masters alone are not enough." The demon sneered.

The emperor listened to the other party's unscrupulous words, and suddenly a horrifying thought flashed through his mind. He looked at the demon in astonishment and said in a voiceless voice: "Could it be that you have already..."

"Hahaha, yes, I am worthy of being an emperor. I did take that step. Otherwise, how could I dare to come to see you? However, this step was successful thanks to your help. Without you, I would have been I don't know how many years it will take to succeed, so in order to thank you, I decided to sit in your seat and enjoy your life. Leave your women, wealth, country, and ministers to me." The demon said boldly.

However, there was no trace of anger on the emperor's face. Instead, he became extremely frightened. If what the demon said was true, then all his previous efforts would be in vain, and no one in the world could stop the demon.

"Bold demon, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of the emperor!"

The old eunuch felt a shiver in his heart, and then he took action, jumped up, and suddenly came to the front of the demon. He hit the demon with a palm that he had prepared for a long time. However, he could kill a strong man in the fifth realm of transformation so easily. A palm fell on the demon but did not cause any damage.

"What?" The old eunuch had a look of surprise on his face, and when he saw the demon's teasing eyes, he felt extremely horrified.

"Seeking death!" The smile on the demon's face dropped, and he grabbed the old eunuch's head with one claw, crushing his head to pieces. All his flesh and blood were used by the demon. After devouring the old eunuch's flesh and blood, There was an expression of enjoyment on the demon's face, he let out a sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to the emperor.

After seeing the old eunuch being killed instantly with one move, the emperor couldn't sit still and could not calm down. The once arrogant emperor finally showed a timid look in the face of death. He looked at the demon walking towards him step by step. , terrified: "You, what do you want to do?"

"I have killed all your men. What do you think I want to do? As for the methods you have hidden, they are meaningless the moment I take that step. I will take your place and become the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. !" The demon sneered, grabbed the emperor's sleeve and threw him out.

"Hmph, even if you kill me, so what, you are a monster. The people of Zhou will not allow a monster to sit on the throne, let alone, this monster is the guy who killed the emperor." The emperor returned to his usual state. His majesty was unmoved by the demon's words.

"Really? What if the person who killed you was not me, but that monk? But he didn't succeed in killing you, but escaped after the assassination failed? What if, what I said replaced you, Instead of changing the dynasty, what if I transform into you and take over your throne?"

As he spoke, the demon turned into the emperor's appearance in front of the emperor. Both his figure and appearance became exactly the same in an instant. The scene in front of him instantly made the emperor panic.

Unfortunately, he was killed by the demon-turned-emperor before he could say anything. The demon looked at the emperor's dead body and also turned it into a skeleton.

One night passed, Chen Shuai followed the demon's guidance and quickly found traces of Kong Shui and others in the dense forest outside the imperial city.

"Commander, what is the purpose of the emperor looking for you?"

As soon as they saw Chen Shuai, everyone gathered around and asked.

Chen Shuai simply told everyone what had happened. When everyone learned that this demon-slaying convention was a trap set by the emperor to eradicate them, everyone's expressions became ugly, especially when they learned from Chen Shuai's mouth that the emperor was against When the forces from all sides expressed their murderous intentions, besides their anger, they also had endless worries, worrying that the emperor would take this opportunity to attack their sects.

After seeing that Chen Shuai returned safely and the emperor's pursuers had left, You Xuan and others said goodbye to Chen Shuai and his party.

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest first, and then go back to Futu Temple."

Chen Shuai told everyone that he planned to find a place to heal his injuries.
