Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 82 Unreserved Trust, How Strong is Zhu Jinzhen?
boom! boom! boom!
The wind and thunder of heaven and earth clashed with the ethereal sword intent, a collision of magic and Taoism. Each collision caused the heavens and the earth to tremble. Above Jiayuguan, dark clouds rolled, thunder cracked, and the wind howled, a scene of doomsday.

Liu Xi of the East Factory, the Jinyiwei and the masters of the Six Gates were already frightened out of their wits. Even the masters of the Zhixuan sect were terrified.

This level of confrontation is beyond their understanding!

A single thought can shake the heaven and earth, and a wave of his hand can create wind and thunder. This is beyond the imagination of ordinary so-called masters.

However, those merchants and people from all over the world were surprised to find that although some people in the city trembled in fear of the majesty of heaven, few of them bowed to it.

"Aren't you afraid?" Huang Rong asked in surprise.

The majestic power of heaven shocks all living beings.

Even she felt timid.

The people of Jiayuguan showed courage and boldness that impressed her.

"Little girl, you don't understand."

An old man, holding a little girl who buried her head in his arms, gazed at the thundering sky, his gaunt, aged body standing straight. "Back then, when the Mongols and Liao invaded the border, every one of the hundred thousand households in the city wore mourning. We never considered surrendering then. Now, His Highness is fighting for us, so why should we be afraid?"

"Be it a land immortal or a land celestial being."

"Even if the gods and Buddhas from heaven come down, we firmly believe that Your Highness will lead us out of this predicament and overcome all suffering and injustice."

"Yes, His Highness is here, we have no reason to be afraid."

"If the enemy is difficult for even Your Highness to defeat, what's the point of us being afraid?"

The people of Jiayuguan have fanatical eyes and are full of determination.

Four years ago, when the young prince suddenly appeared and pulled them back from the brink of hell when they were facing the deepest despair, the people of Jiayuguan had a trust in him that was unimaginable to others.

That trust, madness, blindness.

Isn't that putting all your faith into it?
Huang Rong stared blankly at the men, women, young and old in front of her, finding it difficult to understand their state of mind. She only knew that she felt a little regretful at this moment, regretting not participating in the Tiance selection.

……

"puff!"

Yin Zhong spat out blood, the expected resistance did not appear.

No matter how hard Yin Zhong tried, burning his blood and essence, he could not resist the ethereal sword intent that contained the supreme sword art. He was pierced through the body at the first sight.

"Wait!" Yin Zhong shouted, and the sword intent in front of him was overwhelming. The sky above his head was a sword, the ground under his feet was a sword, and even the wind he breathed became a sword. Such a terrifying swordsmanship attainment was something he had never seen in his five hundred years of life.

He was afraid. Yin Zhong knew very well that if there were two more sword intentions, even if they were just casual attacks from the young prince opposite, he would not be able to withstand it and would most likely die here.

"I am very interested in the Tong family's magic and Dragon God skills."

"You have been alive for five hundred years and possess an almost immortal body. I am very curious, are you really immortal?" Zhu Jinzhen's expression was cold, and with a thought, the vast and boundless sword intent made the heaven and earth tremble violently. He raised his fingers, and the sword energy that had been stagnant in the void overwhelmed the sky and the earth.

Yin Zhong gritted his teeth and, regardless of his injuries, used the Dragon God Skill once again to dodge quickly, but the sword energy was like a vast ocean, filling every inch of space between heaven and earth, majestic and rolling down. Where could he escape to?
"You forced me to do this."

At this critical moment, Yin Zhong's hair and beard grew wildly, revealing an extremely old and crazy look. A terrifying aura emanated from his whole body, as if a terrifying demon god had resurrected into the world.

"Noisy!"

Zhu Jinzhen sneered calmly.

A brilliant sword light lit up, and the sword intent suddenly pierced through the clouds and shot towards Yin Zhong, who was no longer hiding.

Yin Zhong was furious and vomited blood. The shadow of the Dragon God Art actually became somewhat real. He wanted to forcibly block Zhu Jinzhen's sword energy which was transformed from his mind.

Unfortunately, this is also in vain.

The sword energy that pierced through the clouds and sky pierced through all the true energy and Dragon God skills like a hot knife through butter, and directly pierced Yin Zhong's chest. All the desperate magic methods that Yin Zhong was about to use came to an abrupt end in an instant.

"Pfft, no way."

"I use this secret method to briefly glimpse the realm of heaven and man. How could it be so vulnerable?"

Yin Zhong found it hard to accept. He had been alive for five hundred years and had once stood at the pinnacle of martial arts. He had been invincible for five hundred years and had long forgotten what fear was. But now this feeling came over him.

He looked in disbelief at the sword that pierced his chest and carried him down from the sky with irresistible force. Disbelief, despair and confusion remained in his eyes.

Finally, with a loud "bang", most of the towering barren mountain that was hundreds of feet high was shattered, leaving only the embarrassed figure of Yin Zhong who was nailed to the mountainside by the sharp sword energy.

"So strong."

"After Your Highness reached the pinnacle of Heaven and Man, his strength has reached this level!"

There was a glint of light in Changsun Wangqing's beautiful eyes. She had always known that her prince was nearly invincible and had no rivals in the same realm. However, this was the first time she saw Zhu Jinzhen officially take action after entering the Land Heaven Realm.

It's incredibly strong.

The man just now seemed to be a celestial being who had fallen from grace. However, even at the last moment, when he desperately burned his blood and true energy to restore his peak, he was still suppressed by a sword energy from his own prince!
Thinking back to four years ago, his Highness was killing everyone on the battlefield outside Jiayuguan. He raised his hand and a hundred thousand sword energies descended from the sky, forcing Ba Siba, Yelu Wudi and Si Hanfei, several other gods from the Mongol and Liao countries, to flee in panic, forcing the million-strong coalition army to retreat.

Looking at Zhu Jinzhen who was strolling leisurely in the garden, wielding thousands of swords with just a thought, how could Changsun Wangqing not know that his own prince was not even serious just now.

Even Changsun Wangqing was like this, and the rest of the people were even more shocked.

The fight between Yin Zhong and Changsun Wangqing just now was in a flash, but it also allowed them to see Yin Zhong's terrifying strength, which was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary land immortals.

At least he has the fierce strength of Yelu Wudi, the pillar of the Liao Dynasty, and Bashibana, the great master of the Yuan Dynasty.

But even so, he was still easily suppressed by his own prince with just a few gestures!

The same thought occurred to everyone: "What would it be like if His Highness used all his strength?"

"Yang Ning, I leave him to you."

Hearing Zhu Jinzhen's order, Yang Ning woke up as if from a dream and quickly bowed to accept the order.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Dragon God Power, the pseudo-realm of heaven and man on land, huh."

Zhu Jinzhen stared at Yin Zhong indifferently for a moment, then chuckled softly and vanished like a gentle breeze. It was as if he hadn't just subdued a celestial being, but was simply a casual warrior in the martial arts world.

Looking at Zhu Jinzhen's departing figure, Yin Zhong, bleeding profusely, glared angrily and roared, "Who the hell are you?"
