The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 252: The Battle between Heaven and Man: The Old Man in Black
On the opposite side, Xiao Jingtian's eyes gradually showed shock and incomprehension.

How can it be?

I am of the dragon turtle bloodline, my martial arts skills are unmatched, and the flaws in my martial arts skills have been made up for. How is it possible that Zhu Houzhao can be faster and more powerful?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Zhu Houzhao must be fighting desperately, he can't hold on for much longer.

Xiao Jingtian had a ferocious look on his face and continued to punch hard one after another.

That's all he could do.

At this time, whoever retreats first will inevitably be injured.

"boom!!!"

The collision became more and more terrifying, and the crazy force in the center tore open one empty space after another.

The distance between them is still getting closer.

Likewise, they were also suffering from the increasingly terrifying aftermath of the power.

In a blink of an eye, the clothes on both of them were torn.

But the two of them didn't care at all, and they collided again and again like lightning.

Lord Zheng and Zhang Sanfeng, who were besieging the indifferent figure not far away, were keeping an eye on Zhu Houzhao's battle situation.

They all couldn't help but frown.

Your Majesty's fighting style is so extreme and fierce!

A complete strategy of advancing without retreating, killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of our own.

Of course, as for the self-injury, he can withstand it relying on his unparalleled physical foundation.

Therefore, when facing opponents of the same level of strength or even stronger than him, His Majesty can defeat them quickly and easily.

But the opponent at this time is obviously different.

The opponent's skills are very strong, even Duke Zheng cannot compare to him, let alone Your Majesty who has just broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm.

Moreover, the opponent's skills are obviously extraordinary.

If the fight continues like this, the outcome will be unpredictable.

Even if we win, I'm afraid...

"Master, thank you for your help," Duke Zheng said in a voice transmission.

"I will watch it," Zhang Sanfeng replied.

At the same time, there was a hint of fierceness in their eyes as they looked at their opponents.

Take care of that first, distract the person who is obviously deeply connected.

The two of them joined forces, even if they needed to focus some of their attention on the battle over there, it was not something that the cold figure Xiao Ao Shi could resist.

Amid the roar, Xiao Ao Shi was soon injured.

His face was as gloomy as water and he wanted to leave. With the accumulation of thousands of years, he was confident that he could escape.

But he glanced at the battle situation not far away and frowned.

If he left, my brother would have no chance of survival.

Hold on a little longer, and once the eldest brother defeats Zhu Houzhao, they will have a chance to leave.

In the city just over ten miles away.

The Sui army continued to kill Goguryeo, but Yang Lin and others had no opponents and stopped.

He looked towards the east with an extremely solemn expression.

The battle seemed to destroy everything. Even though they were more than ten miles away, they could feel the terrifying oppression.

If there were not more than 200,000 Sui troops who strongly controlled the power of heaven and earth in this area, the battle over there would have been even more terrifying.

"How could so many powerful celestial beings appear!" Qiu Rui, who looked several years older, said with a tone of horror.

He sensed several terrifying forces.

“Obviously, the Eighth Division has been setting up a trap, using itself as bait to lure the strong men of the Ming Kingdom to come.

Secretly, he joined forces with two powerful celestial beings and wanted to harm the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Ming Kingdom saw through it, or perhaps it was just a guess.

Zhu Houzhao was even more courageous, personally bringing three powerful celestial beings with him to break the situation with force." Yang Linqiang said calmly.

Only his clenched fists revealed his heaviness and a hint of unwillingness.

A total of seven powerful celestial beings fought a fierce battle in the area that had already become the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, but none of them belonged to the Great Sui Dynasty.

Even the Sui Dynasty was unable to intervene.

"The battle between heaven and man, I must go and see it. King Kaoshan, are you going?" Qiu Rui thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

Although they could sense the terrifying aura from a distance of more than ten miles, they could not see or feel it clearly.

"You and Chengdu go, I'll stay here to take charge of the situation." Yang Lin shook his head.

Watching the battle between heaven and man is beneficial to warriors, especially young warriors.

"Okay." Qiu Rui responded, and the big man in golden armor who had been silent beside him bowed and followed him.

Ignoring everything outside, Zhu Houzhao had only one thought at this time.

Kill this man.

The fighting spirit burned fiercely like a volcanic eruption.

The two dragon balls also emitted golden light, helping to protect his body.

The fifty-sixth shot···the sixty-eighth shot···the seventy-eighth shot···the eighty-ninth shot···

One hundred and third shot.

finally--

"puff!"

Xiao Jingtian gritted his teeth and persisted more and more, but could no longer accept it. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his already red skin was covered with cracks, which made him look extremely scary and hideous.

The breath weakened at the same time.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, his aura increased a little bit, and he slashed down with the 104th shot.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Xiao Jingtian's body flew out. His expression was extremely ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "I won't fail like this, ah~!"

The originally weak aura suddenly surged up again, and the torn flesh began to heal slowly.

"Humph."

Zhu Houzhao looked on with disdain and fired the 105th shot.

"Boom!" Xiao Jingtian's aura, which had been rising, dropped again.

"You were so arrogant just now. How about becoming an enemy of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Houzhao shouted coldly, and the 106th shot was fired.

Xiao Jingtian's body was covered with cracks and he could no longer control himself.

"I am here to tell you, if you become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, you will die."

Amidst the overwhelmingly fierce voice, the one hundred and seventh shot was fired.

Xiao Jingtian no longer had much strength to resist and stared at the gunshot unwillingly.

"How can it be!"

"boom!!"

Amidst the voice full of unwillingness, suddenly, a thick fog came as if covering the sky and the earth, instantly covering Xiao Jingtian and rushing towards Zhu Houzhao.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Sanfeng was the first to react. Without caring about anything else, he immediately rushed towards the fog.

The same was true of Duke Zheng.

Zhu Houzhao's shot, coupled with Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi diagram with his palm raised, under the blood-red light of Zheng Gong.

The fog disappeared at an even faster speed.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Not far away, an old man in black sighed and looked at them.

The domineering figure, who no longer had much power to resist, was held by the indifferent figure and flew quickly into the distance.

"Chase."

Zhu Houzhao was furious. He pointed his spear at the old man in black and chopped him down with murderous intent.

Duke Zheng looked solemnly at the old man in black, then quickly chased after the two people who were fleeing.

Zhang Sanfeng did not chase after him. Instead, he looked at the old man in black with an unprecedented serious look.

At the same time, he followed Zhu Houzhao as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

Faced with Zhu Houzhao's spear that was powerful enough to split a mountain, the old man in black did not take it head-on. Instead, he retreated, seemingly slow but actually fast, and actually avoided it.

"Bang~!"

The earth was torn apart, and a crack dozens of feet long and more than ten feet deep appeared.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed, and he chased after him.

Zhang Sanfeng still did not make a move, but just followed beside him, looking at the old man in black cautiously.

"Your Majesty, stop." The old man in black kept retreating at an incredibly fast speed, and Zhu Houzhao could barely catch up with him.

"You old bastard, your aura is very similar to those two men. Who are you to them? How dare you stop me?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily while chasing them.

"My identity is not important, what is important is Your Majesty.

I came here to ask Your Majesty to spare those two people, and also to take this opportunity to meet with Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty some questions. "The old man in black said solemnly.

"Hmph." Zhu Houzhao ignored him and focused on chasing and killing him, even faster.

The old man in black had no choice but to speed up a bit.

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly took action.

The invisible Tai Chi diagram mysteriously appeared around the old man in black, slowing him down.

The old man in black looked surprised for a moment, then faced with Zhu Houzhao's fierce shot, he was helpless and his true energy suddenly burst out.

"boom!!!"

There seemed to be the roar of a dragon and a turtle, and the surging sea seemed to appear here. The incomparable true energy was so huge that even Zhu Houzhao was shocked for the first time.

The body also moved backwards for the first time.

"What a miraculous way of Tai Chi! What a mighty and powerful Emperor Shengwu!"

The old man in black showed a look of amazement.

"Huh, who are you?" Zhu Houzhao was displeased because he realized that he might not be able to beat this old bastard.

The opponent's true energy is too huge.

Even he couldn't see the limit.

"Your Majesty, my identity is indeed unimportant.

I don't want to fight with Your Majesty. I can't do anything to you, but you can't do anything to me either.

How about we have a good chat?" the old man in black said solemnly.

"Who are you to those two men? Why did you save them?" Zhu Houzhao suppressed his impulse and said unwillingly.

"I am their father, so I couldn't help but save them." The old man in black sighed and said truthfully.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Sanfeng's eyes flashed, but they were not surprised.

The aura between them is so similar.

Father-son relationship, not surprising.

But the father and his two sons are all powerful beings in the realm of heaven and man. There is actually such a thing in the world!

They don't even have a glimmer of information.

At this moment, even Zhu Houzhao felt solemn.

"Is the relationship between you two not good?" Zhang Sanfeng suddenly said with certainty.

"It's really bad. They even want to kill me." The old man in black nodded calmly and helplessly.

"Then why did you save them?" Zhu Houzhao asked hostilely.

"I am their father after all, and their present situation is mostly caused by me.

Besides, if we keep them here, there may be something important that they need to do." The old man in black said frankly.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"This is also related to what I want to discuss with Your Majesty." The old man in black looked more serious and asked, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you, do you really want to unify the world?"

"Of course, what's the problem?" Zhu Houzhao asked without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the world will really be better after it is unified? Will the people's lives be better?" said the old man in black with a frown.

"Of course, under my governance, the world and the people will definitely be better off." Zhu Houzhao affirmed confidently.
