The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 256: A Mythical Battle That Shocked the World

Guo Bujing responded solemnly.

“More.” Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and said, “There are indeed many strong people in this world, and many of them are hiding.

The Royal Guards must investigate as much as possible, even if it is just rumors.

Don't bother these powerful beings rashly, but try to be aware of their existence."

The sudden appearance of these three powerful men, father and son, actually left a deep impression on Zhu Houzhao.

What if a few more suddenly appear from somewhere?
"Yes." Guo Bujing felt more solemn.

"Your Majesty, if it is not necessary, you should not leave the capital, let alone go directly to another country." Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had finished what he wanted to say, Liu Jian advised solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said confidently.

Liu Jian and the others were helpless. They knew it was useless to persuade them, so they could only watch more closely in the future.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do in the next few days, Zhu Houzhao let them get busy.

And he himself was truly in seclusion.

In the bedroom where no one else was present, Zhu Houzhao began to practice the fourth level of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures over and over again.

A huge amount of power from heaven and earth poured into his body, and two dragon balls danced around, casting light on him and healing the injuries in his body.

Yes, he was injured.

From the battle two days ago.

He quickly defeated the little bastard in the most extreme and domineering way, and of course he himself was traumatized.

But he wouldn't tell anyone.

It's just a little turtle, how could I get hurt?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Thanks to his powerful body, although the injuries were serious, he was able to endure it.

Until now, no one has noticed.

Zhu Houzhao was secretly proud and delighted about this.

While Zhu Houzhao was recuperating from his injuries, the Mongols in the north.

The Eighth Division also returned to Helin.

"What a Zhu Houzhao, seemingly flamboyant, but actually very cautious, he actually dispatched four celestial beings together!
We underestimated him after all." Temujin said in a low voice with his eyes slightly dimmed.

"What the Khan said is very true." The Eighth Master nodded.

Even he couldn't help but feel a little horrified when he thought about it.

If it weren't for those two people holding back Zhu Houzhao and the other two, he might really have stayed there.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Imperial Master." Temujin's expression softened and he said solemnly.

"Great Khan, you are right. We have failed this time after all." Eighth Master Ba shook his head.

"You are wrong, Imperial Master." Temujin smiled proudly and confidently said, "Although we did not ambush the Ming strongmen this time, we did block the Sui for several months.

Even if the Sui Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, it would only last for a few days, and the Sui Dynasty would surely perish. "

“Secondly, we have also gotten to know the true strongest person in Ming Country.

Even Zhu Houzhao, who had just made a breakthrough, came out in person. Obviously, the number of people in the realm of heaven and man that the Ming court could mobilize now, including Zhu Houzhao himself, was four.

Zhu Houzhao, Zheng He, Wudang Zhang Sanfeng, and the other monk, who should be a strong man from Shaolin Temple if nothing unexpected happens.

Wudang and Shaolin both chose to help Zhu Houzhao."

As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he continued with great enthusiasm: "Third, with this cooperation with those two people, we will be able to have more cooperation in the future.

And according to the Emperor's Master, there was also an unknown powerful celestial being who took action.

These are the three allies against the Ming Dynasty.

Fourth, when the news spreads, the world will know that I, the Mongols, have a relationship with the three powerful celestial beings.

Our Mongolian Yuan Dynasty's power has greatly increased.

The Ming Kingdom had three powerful enemies at the level of heaven and man, and they suppressed its power.

Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will fall to the Mongol cavalry."

Bashiba smiled slightly and nodded.

"It will be soon. This Khan will not give Zhu Houzhao any more time." Temujin stared towards the south with an eagle-like gaze and said firmly.

On an uninhabited desert island in the eastern sea of ​​Sui State.

The power of heaven and earth around him slowly subsided.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Ao Shi asked in a serious tone.

After two days of recovery, Xiao Jingtian's breathing became more stable. His face was gloomy and he shook his head slowly, saying, "It will take several more months to fully recover."

“I underestimated Zhu Houzhao. I didn’t expect that he would come here in person, and bring three celestial beings with him.

We also underestimated his strength." Xiao Ao Shi said in a cold tone.

A hint of hatred flashed across Xiao Jingtian's brows, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This account will be settled sooner or later."

Xiao Ao Shi nodded, his voice a little colder: "The old guy also showed up this time, and he seems to be at odds with Ming Kingdom as well."

“Heh, if he helps us, it’s very likely that he’ll let us go against the Ming Kingdom.

This old guy has calculated every step. We have to be careful. Let's hide first and wait for me to recover. "Xiao Jingtian sneered with hatred and said calmly. "Yes."

Xiao Ao Shi nodded, he had the same idea.

····
Two days later, thanks to the powerful recovery power of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures, Zhu Houzhao's injuries had mostly healed and the impact was not significant.

The rest will not take more than a few days without seclusion.

He stopped his retreat and returned to his daily life.

At the same time, after a few days of fermentation, the situation of the battle that day began to spread.

This time, the Jinyiwei did not get involved and add fuel to the fire.

Because if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be of much benefit to the Ming Dynasty, but rather has many disadvantages, so we will neither promote it nor restrict it.

However, the Sui army's attack on Goguryeo, especially the long battle with the Eighth Division, had long attracted the attention of all countries. There were countless spies buried in all directions, keeping a close eye on the outcome of this battle.

On that day, the news that the eight great celestial beings had shown up for the battle spread wildly back to various countries, and the top leaders of all countries were all horrified.

Some people were intentional, some were not, but the news did spread and more and more people knew about it.

'August 28th.

Zhu Houzhao, the Shengwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, led three powerful celestial beings to Goguryeo, intending to kill the powerful celestial being Ba Shiba of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

The Mongols were in contact with the two powerful celestial beings and had already made preparations to ambush the powerful men of the Ming Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that four powerful celestial beings would come from the Ming Kingdom.

The two sides fought a great battle. Emperor Shengwu personally defeated a powerful celestial being. When he was about to kill him, another powerful celestial being appeared and stopped Emperor Shengwu.

Finally, the powerful celestial beings from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty withdrew.'

This was what the spies saw from a distance that day, and this was the general message that spread.

Once the news spread, it caused an uproar in all countries of the world.

Countless people were shocked.

"Eight powerful celestial beings gathered together for a great battle! There hasn't been such a battle in hundreds of years, right?"

"Absolutely not. A battle between two celestial beings would be a world-shaking event, let alone eight of them!

Eight powerful celestial beings, where do so many powerful celestial beings come from?"

"The Ming Dynasty is fine, because it does have the foundation. There is the Emperor Shengwu, the celestial being from the Ming Dynasty court, Zhang Zhenren from Wudang, a Shaolin monk, and the master He, who must be from Shaolin. That makes four.

But how did the Mongols contact the three powerful celestial beings and become enemies with the Ming Kingdom?"

"Everyone underestimates the Mongols. Maybe they have more powerful celestial beings."

"No, it's because more and more people are afraid of the Ming Dynasty, so they are willing to join forces to deal with the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, that's definitely the case. Emperor Shengwu broke through to the Heavenly Man Realm at the age of sixteen, which made many Heavenly Man strongmen unable to sit still and wanted to weaken the strength of the Ming Kingdom.

Look, the Mongols originally wanted to lure the strong men of the Ming Dynasty to surround and kill Bashiba, but they didn't expect that Emperor Shengwu would directly lead three powerful celestial beings to kill him.

The two sides must have gone through a game of intrigue and conspiracy behind the scenes. I wonder how exciting it must have been!"

“I’m just curious, what are the identities of those eight powerful celestial beings?
Not to mention Emperor Shengwu, the celestial being of the Ming Dynasty court, Zhang Zhenren, and the Eighth Master Ba, what about the other four?
Even if that master is really a Shaolin monk, what about the three who joined forces with the Mongols? Is there no news at all?"

"I'm just as curious. Eight powerful celestial beings! It's like listening to a myth!
Why do I feel that compared with other major countries, other major countries are much weaker. "

“Haha, half of these eight powerful celestial beings are clearly from the Ming Dynasty, and only one of the other four is clearly from the Mongols. The other three may just be cooperating once.

Although it was shocking that the Ming Dynasty could dispatch four celestial beings at once, it was not surprising.

The Ming Dynasty has the strongest foundation, which is unmatched in the world. This is recognized by all countries, and there are definitely more than just four powerful celestial beings in the country.

I didn’t find it so shocking before because no one could bring together these powerful celestial beings.

Now, with the emergence of Emperor Shengwu in the Ming Dynasty, everything is different. He is rapidly turning the Ming Dynasty's unrivaled foundation into real strength.

The fact that four celestial beings were dispatched at once this time is the best proof of this.

You may feel that other big countries are too weak, not because those big countries are really weak, but because the Ming Dynasty has too deep a foundation and Emperor Shengwu is too strong.

Perhaps this is why the other strong men are wary and want to join forces with the Mongols to weaken them."

“That makes sense. In fact, among the four major Han countries, except for the Ming Dynasty, don’t the three have more powerful celestial beings?

there must be.

Sui State and Li Yang were established too recently, and it is normal that the powerful celestial beings within their territories have no emotions and are unwilling to help.

But the Song Dynasty had been established for a hundred years and was only slightly worse than the Ming Dynasty. There must be some powerful people who considered themselves to be Song people and were willing to help the Song Dynasty.

It’s just that the Song Dynasty didn’t have a Holy Emperor.”

“Although the Holy Martial Emperor is powerful and the Ming Dynasty has a deep foundation, there are three more powerful celestial beings as enemies. Who knows how many more are there in secret?

Next, the Ming Kingdom will also be in trouble."

“Is the Ming Kingdom in trouble? I don’t know, but the battle between the eight celestial beings has happened.

Why do I feel like this world is becoming less and less safe!"

"I agree. Let's not talk about the rest of the country. As for the Sui Dynasty, I heard that although the Sui army was heading straight for the capital of Goguryeo and Goguryeo was about to be destroyed, the Sui army itself suffered heavy casualties after months of hard fighting.

I think that even if Goguryeo was destroyed, the Sui court would not be able to hold out for much longer, as chaos was imminent within the Sui territory.

By then, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Mongols will let us go, and the real chaos is about to come."
