Demon Emperor

Chapter 41 The Emperor's Dragon Aura
Ruan Hu stood at the window of the villa, looking at the small bamboo grove that was tightly surrounded in the distance.

The firelight burning in the woods illuminated the surroundings, making it clear what was happening there even in the darkness.

but.

Ruan Hu turned his gaze and also saw the officials and farmers of the estate gathering in the distance.

Soon, he also noticed that something was wrong with the "evil spirit".

Ruan Hu: "If that's not a ghost, what is it?"

The celestial maiden in purple stood by the window, but she seemed unable to see the scenery outside and could only listen to Ruan Hu's description.

The power separating the realms of Yin and Yang sometimes applies not only to the living, but also to ghosts and spirits.

Purple-clad celestial maiden: "I don't know what it is, and it doesn't seem to be any kind of spirit or monster."

However, according to Ruan Hu's description of his appearance, he was covered in bear skin, wore a four-eyed golden mask, and held a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other.

The purple-clad celestial maiden seemed to recall something. These ancient deities possessed some extremely ancient information, which was precisely what Ruan Hu currently lacked.

"Bear skin, gold mask, this seems to be Fang Xiangshi?"

Before Ruan Hu could even find out who Fang Xiangshi was, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

That thing is extremely ferocious; something's probably going to happen down there.

Ruan Hu immediately grabbed his usual longbow and sword and rushed out of the gate, with his elite armored soldiers following on both sides as they descended.

When Ruan Hu arrived, the situation had become extremely critical.

That burly, four-eyed, golden-masked man was unstoppable with his shield and spear; the large shield in his hands was as easy to swing and wield as a cloak.

It can skillfully block attacks from all directions, and the remaining weak attacks are also blocked by its bear skin and armor.

Wielding a long spear with one hand, he was like a raging storm, blowing away anyone who dared to charge forward.

Meanwhile, Yuchi Chongwu, who was charging directly in front of him, was about to be killed by him in just a few rounds.

Yuchi Chongwu is a key figure in Ruan Hu's control of the Imperial Guards, and he cannot afford to die now.

Immediately, Ruan Hu used the [Soul Calling] technique and loudly called out the name of Fang Xiangshi.

"Fang Xiangshi!"

At the same time, a tiger's roar also came from Ruan Hu's body, merging into the soul-summoning technique.

"Roar!"

The sound rang out, and everyone looked up.

To them, the sound was like a dragon's roar, and Ruan Hu, standing on high, truly seemed as if a dragon was coiled in mid-air.

The roars of dragons and the howls of tigers sound pretty much the same to ordinary people.

Even more shockingly, with Ruan Hu's shout, everyone instantly became unable to move.

It's as if a mortal sees a tiger or encounters a dragon, and fear devours every muscle and bone in his body, making them disappear.

Among them were Huang Hui and Li Hongdao; one stared wide-eyed, while the other trembled.

This was for other people, but Fang Xiangshi, whose name was called, felt it even more intensely.

He felt as if the three characters "Fang Xiangshi" were a large seal that was directly imprinted into his mind from above, firmly nailed into his body.

It was as if a sharp blade had cleaved through the primordial chaos, revealing a spark of inspiration in my mind, and reminding me of many things.

"Fang Xiang..."

He seemed to remember something, and at that moment Ruan Hu had already drawn his bow and shot an arrow toward Fang Xiangshi.

Ruan Hu, dressed in brocade, stood out like a crane among chickens, surrounded by armored soldiers on the slope.

The bow was drawn as taut as a full moon, and one could feel its immense power at a glance.

"call out!"

Ruan Hu's arrow struck him squarely in the head.

"boom!"

Four golden-faced figures descended.

Fang Xiangshi first knelt down on the ground, gazing at the location where Ruan Hu was in the distance.

He then collapsed to the ground, unable to move at all.

At this moment, everyone broke free from the shout of "Fang Xiangshi".

Take a closer look.

The demon, who had just appeared as if a god had descended to earth, fell to the emperor's shout and the arrows.

"This……"

"died?"

"His Majesty shot him dead with one arrow." The power of Ruan Hu's arrow shocked everyone.

They had just witnessed Fang Xiangshi's unstoppable power, and some of them even prepared to run or hide.

At this moment, the officials, soldiers, servants and tenants of the Li family, who were trembling with fear, looked at Ruan Hu as if he were a god.

Even Yuchi Chongwu stared wide-eyed.

"This……"

He had just engaged in close combat with it, but knowing how powerful it was, he was nearly killed.

Immediately afterwards, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted towards the emperor, who was dressed in brocade robes, on the slope.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

However, Ruan Hu frowned. His arrow was not intended to kill the opponent, but only to save Captain Chi Chongwu.

But he never expected that his arrow would have such power.

He was not the only one who was surprised; he was surprised as well.

of course.

This is only one aspect.

The main reason Ruan Hu frowned was that after killing his opponent, Hu did not move.

"Is it because this thing isn't a ghost that it doesn't have a soul?"

"Or is it that he didn't die at all?"

However, Yuchi Chongwu also understood the principle of finishing off the enemy, and immediately stepped forward to examine the body of Fang Xiangshi.

However, upon getting closer and seeing the corpse lying on the ground, Yuchi Chongwu's expression immediately changed drastically.

"empty?"

After the four-eyed golden-faced man was shot away by the arrow, there was nothing there.

this thing.

It had no head.
-
"Your Majesty has a decree!"

"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. We can report anything else tomorrow."

A eunuch, accompanied by servants and guards, arrived at the road on the left side of the estate and addressed Li Hongdao and Huang Hui, who were accompanied by a group of officials.

Li Hongdao was the first to step forward as before, and his attitude was even more respectful than before.

Li Hongdao had already been subdued by Ruan Hu's repeated suppression and various methods. Tonight, seeing the Emperor's imposing presence as he killed Fang Xiangshi with an arrow, he dared not look directly at him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A night breeze blew, and Huang Hui, who had been receiving the imperial decree along with others, finally came to his senses. The sweat on his back had cooled down, making him feel a little cold.

Huang Hui never expected it to end like this; tonight was truly full of twists and turns.

He initially thought it was just a minor issue and planned to make a big deal out of it.

After Fang Xiangshi appeared, he realized the problem was serious. Later, Yuchi Chongwu almost died at Fang Xiangshi's hands, which made him both surprised and delighted.

Finally, the emperor killed Fang Xiangshi with an arrow, leaving Huang Hui dumbfounded and dizzy.

Although he had heard some things about the emperor, this was the first time Huang Hui had witnessed it with his own eyes.

While an individual's martial prowess may have limited influence once it reaches a certain level, it is different if the emperor possesses such martial prowess and prestige. He will have greater control and a stronger influence.

Huang Hui remained silent, but Chen Guang, standing behind him among a group of officials, spoke up and seized the opportunity to speak.

Did you all see that just now?

The surrounding officials didn't know what Chen Guang was talking about. They looked around in confusion, wondering who Chen Guang was referring to.

At this moment, Chen Guang spoke loudly.

"The Emperor's Dragon Aura".

"Didn't you all see that just now? There was a golden dragon circling high up."

He bowed in the distance towards the emperor's residence, and then spoke after rising.

"Without the imperial dragon aura, how could one subdue such evil spirits?"

"That sound was like a dragon's roar, resounding through the nine heavens and the sea of ​​clouds, sweeping away all evil spirits from all directions."

"Your Majesty, you have the bearing of a restorer of the dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out.

The officials were all talking about it, saying that they had just seen the emperor's dragon aura.
