The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 247 Defeat Old Man Zheng
No, it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, did what he thought, and raised his hand to grab into the air.

The Mingshen Zhenyuan in his body, which was as sticky as magma, rolled, coordinating with his further improvement of his skills, and unparalleled power was released and concentrated on one point.

"Click~!"

A slight shattering sound was heard, and a crack appeared in the void at that point.

It was pitch black and empty, as if a corner of it had been torn apart.

Shatter the void.

The biggest symbol of the realm of heaven and man.

Zhu Houzhao became interested and stretched out his other hand, and his two hands seemed to actually grasp the two ends of the void crack.

A force that seemed to be able to overturn the seas surged, tearing and expanding the crack in the void bit by bit like a piece of cloth.

One foot square, two feet, three feet...

The more it expanded, the stronger Zhu Houzhao's aura became.

Gradually, his expression became more and more serious and he began to grit his teeth.

At this time, the void crack, no, it can no longer be called a void crack, the broken void space has expanded to about five feet in radius.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the void space with some dissatisfaction and curiosity, wanting to go in and take a look.

But he still held back and retracted his strength.

Without the support of force, the void space quickly disappeared, as if it was covered by normal space again.

In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.

Zhu Houzhao was curious for a while, then turned to his talent and decided to explore that space later.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Fourth Level (69009/90000)

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian (52102/120000)

The fourth level of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures has improved by several hundred points, but this is not important.

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian, huh?

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled. There were only 120,000 points in total!
But when he thought about the contents of the fourth level of the Mingshen Martial Canon, he understood it again.

The Mingshenwudian can only be practiced to this extent, there is no subsequent content.

In other words, this was Taizu's limit, he only pushed the fourth level of the Mingshenwudian to one hundred and twenty thousand points.

He grinned with smug pride.

He still has to come to perfect the fourth level of the Mingshenwudian, and even deduce the fifth and sixth levels.

With satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao withdrew his gaze and looked outside the hall. Everything was within his sight.

He released his mental power to the maximum extent and could even hear the conversations of most people in the capital, but the consumption was quite high.

Not caring about these things, Zhu Houzhao felt even more proud and happy when he heard almost everyone discussing the news that he had broken through to the realm of heaven and man.

His eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth, with a sound like thunder rolling out.

"I have broken through to the realm of heaven and man. From now on, I am invincible and have no rivals in the world."

In the capital city, the huge strange phenomenon stopped, and the majestic shadow standing above the imperial palace, holding the sun and the moon in its hands, also disappeared.

In the dark night, the discussions of countless people continued.

Suddenly, there was a sound like thunder exploding.

The entire capital city was quiet for a moment, and then, as if with a loud bang, it became even more boiling.

Confirmed, it’s really a breakthrough!
There was no longer any doubt.

Even the enemy country's spies quickly wrote down the message, 'The Emperor Shengwu has personally spoken and has broken through to the realm of heaven and man', without the slightest bit of disbelief.

Because these are the golden words of the emperor of a country.

These are the words of Emperor Shengwu himself.

The two together can be said to be one of the most real and accurate things in the world.

Emperor Shengwu Zhu Houzhao, who had only two months left to celebrate his sixteenth birthday, broke through to the realm of heaven and man!

Once again, he created an unprecedented feat in martial arts!
Among the martial artists who had received the confirmed news, few could remain quiet even after three hours.

The same was true for the court, where everyone except a few had smiles on their faces.

Zhu Houzhao listened to a few words and felt a little dissatisfied.

Why don't many people say that he is invincible?
He curled his lips, withdrew his mental strength, stood up, and walked out of the palace with an even more arrogant and domineering step.

"Squeak~!"

Under pairs of delighted eyes, the palace gate opened and Zhu Houzhao walked out.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone saluted in unison, but their eyes never left Zhu Houzhao, revealing a similar glow.

“Hahaha.” Seeing that these closest people were there, Zhu Houzhao burst into laughter, full of complacency, arrogance and pride, “I have made a breakthrough, and there is no rival in the world anymore.”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are invincible." Wei Jinzhong was the first to say.

Liu Jin and the two Caos followed suit, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are invincible in the world."

The others did not speak, nor did they object; they just watched with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao laughed a few more times, and said to the girls with a half-concern and half-proud look, "You must work harder and achieve Grandmaster status soon.

Otherwise, at night, you will be even more——"

"His Majesty!!!"

The girls, who were originally happy, proud and proud, felt something was wrong as they listened.

Their pretty faces suddenly turned slightly red, and they quickly interrupted Zhu Houzhao's words.

She looked at Zhu Houzhao with shame and annoyance.

There are so many people here, can you say this?
Although Zhu Houzhao didn't know what was wrong, he felt a little guilty when the girls looked at him like that. He changed his tone and said, "Well, anyway, you have to work hard on your cultivation."

"Yes." The girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn't really say it out loud.

However, when the girls' eyes met, they still felt a little embarrassed and helpless.

Needless to say, the former, as for the latter, my husband’s cultivation speed is simply too fast.

I thought they were all gifted girls, but they simply couldn't keep up.

When they break through to the Grandmaster level, what will Your Majesty's physical condition be like by then?
Not even the Grand Master...

No, he is a grandmaster.

Even Yao Yue, who has the strongest strength, and Qin Mengyao, who has made the fastest progress, feel tremendous pressure at this moment.

Zhu Houzhao briefly spoke to Zhu Wusi and Zhu Ye, then looked at Duke Zheng with a fierce fighting spirit and said arrogantly: "Come on, old man, let's fight again. I will definitely win this time."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Battles at the level of heaven and man are extremely rare, and as martial artists, few people don't want to watch them.

But Zhu Houzhao seemed to have forgotten them completely.

After Duke Zheng nodded with a smile, he flew out of the city, leaving only a message that a morning court session would be held the next day.

Duke Zheng followed slowly.

Zhu Ye and Zhu Wusi looked at each other and followed.

The five eunuchs did not follow, and the women wanted to, but they knew it was impossible for them to catch up, so they could only return to the palace regretfully.

"boom!!!"

More than two hundred miles north of the capital, unknown to countless martial artists in the capital, a battle between heaven and man is taking place here.

One of them is the central figure they mentioned, Emperor Shengwu Zhu Houzhao.

The only two people who could see this battle were Zhu Ye and Zhu Wusi who arrived later.

Watching the battle situation, the two men retreated again and again, with shock on their faces.

The power that shocks the heavens and men.

I was also shocked that Your Majesty was able to suppress Duke Zheng with just one breakthrough.

Duke Zheng achieved the state of heaven and man in the late period of Emperor Taizong. How many years have passed since then?

'Just like before, once your Majesty breaks through, he will be incredibly strong among those in the same realm.

It seems that even if His Majesty is not truly invincible at this moment, it won't be long. ' Zhu Ye secretly sent a voice message to Zhu Wusi and sighed.

Zhu Wusi thought of his majesty's combat prowess when he was a grandmaster, and how he defeated Kublai Khan once he broke through to the ultimate level of grandmaster.

He nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty seems to be born for martial arts.

The combination of the Ming Shenwu Dian and the Thirteen Tai Chi Forms, two great magical skills, makes your majesty's true combat power far beyond imagination.

It’s a pity that the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi created by Your Majesty are too profound and difficult to practice.

His Majesty passed it to us, and we haven't even finished the second level yet.'

When Zhu Ye heard this, he felt helpless.

The second level of the Thirteen Tai Chi Postures corresponds to the innate level.

In addition, since it is an auxiliary practice, it will not conflict with the main practice, so they can all practice it.

Naturally, they would not refuse this magical skill.

However, these grand masters have been practicing for about three years, but they still find it difficult to complete the second level. They feel embarrassed to even talk about it.

Without it, it's too difficult.

It all depends on your understanding.

It was not until he broke through to the Grandmaster realm that he began to realize that he was confident that he could complete the second level this year.

As for the third level corresponding to the Grandmaster, even now he has no confidence at all.

Without thinking about these things, he said solemnly and expectantly: "Your Majesty is truly a man who will never appear in the history. Our Ming Dynasty will surely prosper to the utmost because of Your Majesty.

By then, you and I may be able to get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and man.'

Zhu Wusi nodded slowly.

After about half a minute, along with a roar that tore through the void, Zhu Houzhao's arrogant laughter with his hands on his hips resounded throughout the valley.

"Old man, how is it? I won, right?"

Lord Zheng, who was hit by dozens of consecutive punches from Zhu Houzhao and had to retreat due to unstable breathing, could not help showing a look of shock even though he had expected it.

Although it was not a life-and-death fight, he knew that he was defeated and was no match for His Majesty.

The tyranny of the Ming Shen Wu Dian, combined with the magic of the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi, has created a body that seems to have been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

The actual combat capability is no weaker than that of Emperor Taizong at his peak.

Even a life-and-death struggle, I am afraid that His Majesty Taizong...

Ahem, how could I even think of such a rebellious thing?
Duke Zheng quickly put aside the thoughts in his mind and said with the most relaxed smile in decades: "Your Majesty, you win. I am no longer your opponent."

"Hahaha." Zhu Houzhao laughed again and then asked, "Where are old man Zhang, old monk Wuji and the others?"

"In a life-and-death fight, it's not just about your realm level. I don't know unless I've really fought.

But if Your Majesty wants to defeat them easily, you may need to practice for a few more years." Duke Zheng said truthfully.

“What you said is true, old man. Since we are going to fight, I will defeat them easily and suppress all disobedience.

I can't overcome difficulties. I need to practice for another two years.

By then, it would be best if I could defeat Old Man Zhang, Old Monk Wuji and others with one slap.

In this case, who dares to say anything more?
Hahaha." Zhu Houzhao nodded, thinking it made sense, and smiled confidently.

"Your Majesty is wise." Duke Zheng agreed.
