The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 225: Encirclement and Killing Pang Ban
八月十日.

Before Yang Guang received Zhu Houzhao's letter of consent, Zhu Houzhao personally and secretly sent away Li Xunhuan, Guo Bujing, Da Cao Banban and others.

As expected, the others had also set out from various places, gathered in Lu, and crossed the ocean to the Sui State.

This is the most concealed and fastest way.

Looking at the direction they were going, Zhu Houzhao said unhappily, "I really want to beat that Pang Ban to death with my own hands."

"Your Majesty, you may just be more eager to fight and join in the fun."

On the side, Duke Zheng thought to himself, and said, "It's not far away. When Your Majesty breaks through to the realm of heaven and man, you can go anywhere in the world."

"Let's go back and practice. I want to make a breakthrough soon." Zhu Houzhao turned around and said indignantly.

That night, it was Bai Fanghua's turn.

More than an hour later, when Bai Fanghua wanted to serve her own emperor with her beautiful eyes, she was stopped by Zhu Houzhao with righteous words.

"Fanghua, that's not necessary. I want to practice and break through to the heavenly realm as soon as possible." Zhu Houzhao sat up cross-legged.

Bai Fanghua was only slightly startled, then said gently: "Your Majesty is indeed a man of great talent and strategy. You should seize every moment and practice hard to break through to the realm of heaven and man as soon as possible, so that my Ming Dynasty can become more powerful.

As for the pleasure of men and women, after Your Majesty breaks through to the realm of heaven and man, it won’t be too late for me to serve Your Majesty well.”

"Well, Fanghua, you are right." Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly.

"Then Your Majesty should practice quickly. I am very happy just watching Your Majesty practice." Bai Fanghua turned sideways, supported her head with her snow-white arms, and looked at Zhu Houzhao happily.

The silk quilt encountered the icy skin which was countless times smoother than it, and slid down a little, but was blocked by Gao Feng's effort, and infinite beauty could be vaguely seen.

Zhu Houzhao didn't look at it for long, and started practicing as he said.

In the capital, Zhu Houzhao continued to work day after day. On August 14, Zhang Sanfeng, Wang Shouren and his party set foot in the territory of Sui.

Thanks to the Jinyiwei's early preparations, the group continued their journey eastward.

On August 15th, they met with Yang Lin, the king of Sui State, outside Luoyang.

Zhang Sanfeng did not show up, and they suspected that the Eighth Master was there, so they did not tell Sui State about it to avoid any accidents.

Wang Shouren came forward and had a series of discussions with Yang Lin.

The process went smoothly, and the final result was that the Sui Dynasty mainly provided intelligence information, while the Ming Dynasty took action.

To be on the safe side, Yang Lin had to stay with them at all times, acting as a hostage to prevent the Sui Kingdom from backstabbing him.

Although Wang Shouren and others felt that this possibility was almost non-existent, many things need to be prevented just in case.

Of course Yang Lin would not refuse. In the current Sui Dynasty, apart from Yang Guang, only he as a hostage could make the Ming masters feel at ease.

He was not worried that the Ming Dynasty masters would kill him in the end.

He believed that the Ming Dynasty now hoped that the Sui Dynasty could last longer.

The plan discussed by the two was simpler and more direct; they would go straight to where Pang Ban was and kill him.

That day, the group headed north.

August 16th.

North of Luoyang, outside Jiyuan city.

Under the gazes of countless people, both openly and secretly, a tall and enchanting figure with a silver cloak trailing on the ground walked out of the city gate slowly and headed straight south.

Although he was alone, his aura seemed to cover the entire city behind him.

Those countless people, both in the light and in the dark, are like the rubble under the mountain, small and fragile.

"Alas, the three major families, eight minor families, and eleven gangs in Jiyuan City are all silent."

"Not surprisingly, that was the magic master Pang Ban. He went all the way south, and no one could stop him. Wherever he went, all forces fell silent."

"He stayed in Jinan for two days. I heard that he visited three big families, eight small families, and eleven gangs. I don't know what they talked about."

"What else could it be? Of course, it's whether or not to surrender to the Mongols. Who can't see that the Sui Dynasty is already on the decline?"

"I wonder how many forces have defected to the Mongols as Pangban traveled southward?"

"Is there really no one left in the Great Sui Dynasty? What about the imperial court? Are they just letting Pang Ban do whatever he wants?"

“Hey, Ning Sanren, the number one martial artist in the Sui Dynasty, is only at the level of a grandmaster, how can he stop Pang Ban?

As for the imperial court, haha, how many powerful people have died in the imperial court in the past few years? They can't even suppress the uprisings in all directions, so how can they talk about dealing with Pang Ban?"

"Although the Great Sui Dynasty was established only a short time ago, its martial arts foundation should not be so shallow, right?
There must be someone stronger, why not take action? "

"I think so too. What about the masters of Taoism and Buddhism? What about the masters of the aristocratic families?"

"Who knows? Well, I envy Mingguo. How could someone like Pang Ban dare to go to Mingguo and act so recklessly?"

"It's useless to say that. Luoyang is not far to the south. It is the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty. If Luoyang also keeps silent, then the Sui Dynasty will probably be finished."

"I think the martial arts world of the Great Sui Dynasty is definitely not just limited to these strengths. There will definitely be strong ones who will take action."

····
Most of the whispering sounds coming from all directions were malicious and could not be hidden from Pang Ban.

But Pang Ban ignored it, as if he didn't hear it. The distance and time of each step did not change at all, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

It's like facing a group of ants.

After walking for more than twenty miles, most of the sights have been reduced.

And at this moment, Pang Ban's eyes moved, he raised his eyes and looked forward, with a cold look flashing in his eyes.

However, the smile on his lips became even stronger, and he said softly: "I am very happy today that a friend has come from afar."

The sound was like a wave, sweeping forward. A few miles away from the grove, eight figures walked out.

Each one is very meticulous.

When they saw these eight figures, the spies from all sides widened their eyes in shock.

These people are...
"Mi Wentian, Li Xunhuan, Guo Bujing, Dongfang Bubai, great, great, you are all here, which really makes me happy.

Although Cao Zhengchun is missing, it's not a big deal." Pang Ban looked at them one by one, paused at four of them, and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

boom!
People from all directions were completely shocked. They were not familiar with the first name, but the last few names were all circulated in various countries.

The great master of the Ming Dynasty court!
this····

Something big is about to happen!
"The Demon Master indeed has a deep bond with the Demon Sect's master and disciple, but you are alone today, do you think you can get revenge?" Wang Shouren said calmly.

"Sir, you are Grand Commander Wang Shouren, right?
Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved." Pang Ban stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wang Shouren and praising him.

People from all directions were even more shocked and extremely nervous.

"That's right." Wang Shouren responded frankly.

“It is truly an honor for Pang to have Grand Commander Wang come to Sui State in person to help.

Pang didn't even think that he could lure out Grand Commander Wang." Pang Ban smiled truthfully, with no intention of hiding anything.

"Sure enough." Wang Shouren nodded slightly, without any surprise on his face.

Among the eight people, except Yang Lin whose face changed drastically, the others did not change much.

Pang Ban frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

"It seems that Master Ba of the Eighth Division has indeed arrived. Why doesn't he show himself?" Wang Shouren said loudly.

Ripples appeared between heaven and earth within a radius of several miles.

After two breaths, Wang Shouren sighed softly: "It is indeed the realm of heaven and man. Even I cannot find its trace."

"You know?" Pang Ban's eyes flashed with surprise, and his aura of having everything under control was greatly broken.

“I’m not sure, so Wang and seven others came together to see the magician off.

We also invited Master Zhang to guard against Master Ba. " Wang Shouren said calmly.

He then said, "Please ask the real person to take action."

Upon hearing these words, Pang Ban's face changed drastically. When he saw the figure that seemed to have walked out of the void, he turned around and left without saying a word.

But it was too late. Zhang Sanfeng swung out a palm that spanned more than a mile and pressed down from the sky.

With this palm, the world seemed to solidify, and a force as strong as a mountain descended.

Pang Ban's body froze, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, his face was as gloomy as water. He was not afraid of this palm, but...

"boom!"

In a flash, a palm seemed to break through the void and shattered everything that was solidified.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "The old Taoist is gone."

When the voice fell, his figure was no longer there, running to the left.

There, the figure of an old monk appeared and disappeared without a trace.

Here, Pang Ban, without the suppression of Zhang Sanfeng's power, exploded with strength and increased his speed.

But before he got more than ten feet away, the figure stopped again.

Because all the power of heaven and earth within a radius of more than ten miles has been pressed down on him.

"Drink~!"

Pang Ban shouted loudly, and a terrifying aura surged up, forcibly breaking through the power of heaven and earth, while at the same time using his extremely strong mental power to seize control of the power of heaven and earth.

But the result made him frown.

Can't get it.

What a great Confucianism!
Before he could leave, one figure after another blocked him on all sides, looking at him coldly.

"Don't you want revenge? Why are you running? Come on." Dongfang Bai raised the corners of her mouth, still looking cold and arrogant in her bright red dress, but this time with a bit of excitement.

Pang Ban's face was gloomy. He glanced around and saw that Yang Lin did not take action. Wang Shouren was outside suppressing him with the power of heaven and earth. Li Xunhuan was also outside with a flying knife in his hand. The other five were also there.

And there is also the aura of Dragon Ball.

Invincible.

"Master, if you surrender, I can guarantee that I will not harm your life." Wang Shouren said calmly.

The sound was like a substance, like strands of thread, or like deafening thunder, resounding through Pang Ban's mind.

Pang Ban's martial arts spirit shone brightly, but a flaw inevitably appeared.

The five people surrounding him attacked at the same time.

The golden light of the dragon ball emanated from Mi Wentian and Guo Bujing, and not just one, but three for Mi Wentian and two for Guo Bujing.

The power of the five dragon balls, with the force of the sea, rushed towards Pangban fiercely.

Wang Zhi and Cao Youxiang did not approach, but only attacked from a distance.

They don't have dragon balls and are weaker, so Pang Ban is doomed to die. No one wants to be dragged down by him to be buried with him.
