Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 592 The Death of Zhao Pusheng

"Die!"

A large sword came crashing down, its target Du Xiong. Du Xiong looked over and saw a commander of the Dragon Realm charging towards him.

Du Xiong neither dodged nor avoided the attack; instead, he clenched his fists, and a burst of intense golden light erupted from his body the next moment.

He murmured, "Amitabha!"

Instantly, the color of his skin began to turn golden, and a huge bell-shaped cover formed on his body from the condensed qi.

"Golden Bell!"

That's right, it's Du Xiong's strongest martial art, one of the four great skills passed down from Shaolin, the Golden Bell Cover.

when!
The golden bell fell, instantly providing Du Xiong with impenetrable protection. Back then, Chen Jiu Si had to exert considerable effort to break his golden bell, let alone in today's situation.

At this moment, Du Xiong stood on the city wall carrying the Golden Bell Cover, which was an iron tower. At this moment, the soldiers of the Beggar Army rushed up along his ladder.

The commander, who was like a dragon, roared angrily when he saw that his sword had failed to cleave Du Xiong's golden bell shield. The next moment, he charged directly at Du Xiong, wielding his broadsword in a dense and impenetrable manner, attacking Du Xiong like a storm.

Du Xiong's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this, his gaze indifferent. At this moment, his Golden Bell Shield was activated, and anyone who wanted to break through it was dreaming. Then, Du Xiong charged straight at him.

boom!
Du Xiong clashed directly with the commander who was at the Dragon Realm. Although Du Xiong was also at the Dragon Realm, was he an ordinary person?
His father was Du Zundao, also known as the Tiger Descending from the Mountain, one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Zoroastrian Church. Of course, he was one of the four great Dharma Kings in the past.

And don't forget, he had been following Chen Jiu Si for over a year, and his strength had already made rapid progress. It can be said that Du Xiong's strength was already close to the peak of the Dragon Realm.

The commander in front of him clearly didn't have such a high status; he was just an ordinary elder of the Maitreya Sect. When he fought Du Xiong, he initially had a slight advantage because he struck first, but once Du Xiong retaliated, he lost all his advantage and instantly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Seeing the commander's state, Du Xiong showed no mercy. Relying on his Golden Bell Shield, one of the four great skills of Shaolin, which had super strong defensive power, he launched a suppressive attack on the commander. Du Xiong punched the commander.

The commander quickly raised his broadsword to block, and with a loud bang, his fist collided with the broadsword. Instead of the fist being injured by the broadsword, the result was quite the opposite. The broadsword was shaken violently by the impact of the fist, and it seemed that the entire broadsword was about to collapse.

Du Xiong struck successfully and immediately smiled as he looked at the commander, saying, "Hehehe... You're weak, old man."

This person is also an elder of the Maitreya Sect. He was one of the first people to come into contact with Peng Yingyu and holds a relatively high position in the sect. However, he is closer to Zhao Pusheng, which is why all these things have happened.

Of course, this elder had been pampered for a long time, and when Du Xiong addressed him so rudely as "old man," he was immediately enraged. The old man shouted angrily, "You little thief, I am older than your father, how dare you bully me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xiong said, "Why should I respect you just because you're older? Even a turtle is old, why don't you call him godfather?"

"I'll kill you, you insolent brat."

The elder immediately shouted, and then swung his broadsword in a dazzling display of blades, the flashes of light making one's heart pound. Seeing this, Du Xiong remained calm. "Until my Golden Bell Shield is broken, no matter how fancy your swordplay is, it will be useless against me."

Thinking of this, the elder's moves became even more ferocious, swish swish swish, while Du Xiong withstood the attack with his Golden Bell Shield, letting the old man attack him.

Seeing Du Xiong's bravery, the other soldiers of the Beggar Army rushed forward in a hurry. At this moment, a soldier on the city wall thrust his spear, and the soldiers of the Beggar Army below immediately shouted: "Third Brother, my dog, are you serious?"

"Hey, Doggy, Third Brother wasn't paying attention. Are you alright?"

"No, Third Brother, stop living in Xiangyang. What a miserable life you're living here. Come to our Huangzhou Prefecture. We'll definitely expand our army after taking Xiangyang this time. Come here, and you'll have white flour buns every day."

"Really? I eat wild vegetable soup and wheat bran every day. Even the livestock eat better than us. You guys can eat white flour buns every day?"

"We're from the same village, we've known each other since we were kids, I wouldn't lie to you."

"Alright, dog, I believe you. Come on, I'll give you a hand!"

At this moment, the soldier guarding Xiangyang City pulled the attacking soldier up onto the wall. The two laughed and announced that the wall had surrendered to Huangzhou Prefecture. Then, Gouzi planted a small Beggars' Army flag on the wall and said, "Hahaha, I'm the first to scale it! The first to scale it!"

Du Xiong was indeed the first to charge up the city wall, but the first to plant the flag was this soldier called Gouzi. He was the first to scale the wall, but unexpectedly, he took it down just like that. Then, using this city wall as a support point, the entire city wall was instantly filled with the Qihuo Army.

I beg for life, I beg for life!
Suddenly, a cry for survival rang out from the city wall, and at that moment everyone knew that the Beggars' Army had entered the city.

boom!
Du Xiong then threw a punch, and the commander elder was immediately blasted away. Du Xiong glanced at the direction where the flag was planted, touched the flag on his waist, and said with a rather annoyed expression, "I forgot to plant the flag."

Thinking this, Du Xiong immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at the commander elder, saying, "Old man, it's all because of you that I forgot to plant the flag, you old bastard!"

With a roar, Du Xiong charged straight at the commander and yelled, "Old man, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

As he spoke, Du Xiong rained down punches on the commander's face, leaving him battered and bruised. Finally, Du Xiong punched him so hard that he was sent flying off the city wall and crashing down.

Du Xiong looked at the commander whose face was covered in blood and said, "You're lucky you ran fast, otherwise I would have killed you!"

As he said this, Du Xiong turned to look at the other soldiers on the city wall and roared, "Who else is there!"

The soldiers around him were so frightened that they dared not speak, and they were all trembling with fear. Seeing this scene, Zhao Pusheng, who was standing on the city wall, looked extremely ugly, because his proud defense of Xiangyang had completely collapsed in less than a quarter of an hour.

He led his troops to attack Huangzhou Prefecture for five days and five nights but failed to capture it and was defeated in the end. Meanwhile, Chen Jiu Si led his troops and, without even using his main force, used the defeated soldiers he had left in Xiangyang Prefecture. In less than a quarter of an hour, he completed the first assault.

Judging from the current situation, it would probably take him less than half an hour to take over Xiangyang City. Is the gap really that big?
Thinking of this, Zhao Pusheng sighed and said, "It's all over now, there's nothing more to say, nothing more to say!"

Thinking this, Zhao Pusheng happened to see Du Xiong roaring arrogantly.

"Who else!"

Du Xiong's arrogance instantly enraged Zhao Pusheng. "I can lose, but you can't be this arrogant!"
Just then, Zhao Pusheng suddenly launched a slash, which shot directly at Du Xiong. The slash was powerful and cold, like a shooting star streaking across the sky. It then blasted towards Du Xiong, whose eyes widened in shock. Du Xiong charged at me.

He roared, "Golden Bell Shield!"

With a whoosh, a large golden bell was suddenly placed directly on his body, forming an absolute defense.

But then Zhao Pusheng's slash went straight for Du Xiong. Du Xiong's body was suddenly filled with golden light as the Golden Bell Shield, the number one defensive technique of Buddhism, was activated. He was now in a state of absolute defense.

Boom, crack~
The longsword exploded with a loud bang, and the golden bell was shattered into pieces by the blade's light.

At this moment, Du Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood, staining half the sky red.

Du Xiong was thrown out with a thud, crashing into the parapet. The parapet couldn't withstand such a heavy blow and shattered as if it had been hit by a boulder.

boom!
The ground was shattered, and Du Xiong struggled to his feet, clutching his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

At this moment, he looked up at Zhao Pusheng and saw no fear or submission in his eyes, but rather a deep sense of defiance. He then said to Zhao Pusheng, "You, surnamed Zhao, are no hero either. All you know is how to launch sneak attacks. Bah, you despicable man!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pusheng frowned, and without saying a word, raised his hand and slashed at Du Xiong with a knife—a knife meant to kill him.

Du Xiong knew he was no match for the incoming blade, but he was not afraid. He immediately cried out, "My lord, save me!"

Upon hearing this, the next moment a blade of light shot towards Du Xiong, but as soon as it arrived, it seemed to disintegrate out of thin air and vanished completely in an instant.

Zhao Pusheng frowned and looked over, only to see a man already standing in front of Du Xiong, smiling as he said, "Prime Minister Zhao, I told you your opponent is me, why are you fighting with a junior!"

At this moment, Du Xiong suddenly grabbed Chen Jie's leg and said, "My lord, if you had come even a moment later, you might not have seen me again."

Chen Jie glanced at Du Xiong and said, "Charging so fiercely, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Fusion God Realm expert!"

"I will try my best, my lord."

Du Xiong looked at Chen Jie pitifully, and Chen Jie said, "Alright, go back and recover from your injuries. I'll take care of Zhao Pusheng."

"Well, my lord, there's one more small matter I need your help with."

Chen Jie was taken aback and asked, "What is it?"

Du Xiong said, "I'll count this as the first to scale the wall. I was the first to rush up the wall and have held out until now."

Chen explained, "According to Zhang Dingbian's rules, the first person to plant a flag is the first to ascend."

"Ah~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie kicked Du Xiong away and said, "Stop playing the victim. You're not short of merit for being the first to reach the summit, so stop crying and wailing."

Upon hearing this, Du Xiong fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, if there's no first to climb, then there's no first to climb."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Pusheng and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, please excuse my rudeness."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pusheng looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, you should be proud of yourself. I attacked your Huangzhou Prefecture for five days and five nights and still couldn't take it, but you attacked my Xiangyang City in less than half an hour and you've already achieved this. The difference between us is truly enormous!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Pusheng and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. You failed to conquer my Huangzhou Prefecture in five days and five nights because my Huangzhou Prefecture has the support of the people. When the hearts of the people are with you, you will naturally be invincible."

“And I have seen clearly what your Xiangyang Prefecture has done over the years. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you and Xu Shouhui have been exploiting the people.”

“You treat the people like pigs and dogs, how can the people treat you like family? It’s already good enough if they don’t stab you in the back.”

"Furthermore, you might say that you are just preying on the people, so why did you lose so badly? Then I would like to ask you, where did the soldiers come from? The soldiers came from the people, yet you treat the people so harshly. Do you think you can gain anything from this?"

After hearing this, Zhao Pusheng remained silent for a long time before looking at Chen Jie and asking, "Was I wrong?"

Chen Jie said, "Your master spent his whole life seeking peace and tranquility for the people, but you, for your own selfish reasons, have done things that exploit and oppress the people. How can you face your master?"

"Don't mention him. I've wronged him. How could he have done so well to me?"

Zhao Pusheng said in an icy voice, "Does he not know how he treated me? I've been working for the Maitreya Sect for over a decade, and it's finally taken shape. With just a few simple words, he attributed all my achievements to Ni Wenjun and even created an emperor. Is that fair to me?"

"If it weren't for revenge, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Zhao Pusheng shouted at Chen Jie, who looked at him and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, it seems you have a lot of grievances. How about this, I'll take you to your master and seek justice for you. How about that? Let's call it a day!"

Zhao Pusheng shook his head and said, "No, no need. I will get my justice myself. I don't need anyone else to do it for me. Chen Jiu Si, you are very powerful. I admit that. You are the most powerful person I have ever met."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Pusheng and said, "It is my honor to receive praise from the Prime Minister."

"Hehehe, honored or not, let's not talk about that for now. Things have come to this point, and I have no intention of saying anything more. Let me experience Lord Chen's high skills. In this battle, there is no chance of survival!"

As Zhao Pusheng spoke, his eyes were filled with determination. He said, "Chen Jiu Si, unleash your full strength. Don't hold back. After this battle, there will be no more Zhao Pusheng!"

As Zhao Pusheng spoke, he struck his dantian directly, and instantly felt his aura surge. He broke through the shackles of the Furnace Realm and his strength broke through to the Furnace God Realm.

"Shatter your own dantian!"

Chen Jie's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Zhao Pusheng before him. Zhao Pusheng had developed a death wish and shattered his dantian, clearly indicating that he did not want to live. Even if Chen Jie did not kill him, he would surely die.

"That's quite a resolute decision. In that case, I'll grant your wish!"

Chen Jie murmured something, and then unleashed all the power of the second stage of the Fusion God realm, pressing directly towards Zhao Pusheng.
