Chapter 546

~7 min read 1,374 words

Feeling the pressure Zhu Wushi brought upon Cheng Shifei.

Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang, and Linghu Chong also took out their weapons one after another and assumed defensive stances.

Seeing this, Zhu Wushi couldn't help but laugh.

"You have grown up, and now that your wings are stiff, you think you can oppose me??!!??"

"With your current cultivation strength, let alone defeating me, even wanting to escape from my hands depends on whether I am in a good mood or not!"

At this moment, Zhu Wushi erupted with his own cultivation pressure, and suddenly, the five of them—Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, and Linghu Chong—could not control their bodies, and their bodies were all trembling continuously.

This was already a difference approaching the level of life itself; after all, the five of them were only at the Grandmaster strength, while Zhu Wushi had long since become a Land Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm peak perfected cultivator, and Zhu Wushi's own internal energy was countless times deeper than other experts of the same level.

Coupled with the Great Ming national fortune from the Great Ming Imperial Jade Seal over these days, Zhu Wushi had already elevated his insights to the Land Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, so his strength had already reached a higher level.

The current Zhu Wushi was not inferior even when compared to Zheng He at his peak, let alone the five of them who were only Grandmasters.

If Zhu Wushi wanted to kill them, it would actually only take one thought, and the five of them could be directly shaken to death by Zhu Wushi's own cultivation pressure!

"Zheng He was indeed killed by me!"

"It was all because he deserved to die!!!"

"The Yongle Sword originally belonged to our Zhu family; why do you say that I, Zhu Wushi, snatched Zheng He's Yongle Sword, instead of Zheng He relying on his own superior cultivation to forcibly snatch my Zhu family's divine weapon?!"

Zhu Wushi's face began to twist at this moment, and he roared loudly at the five of them—Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, and Linghu Chong.

Looking at Zhu Wushi's current appearance, the five of them were filled with shock.

They were not only shocked by Zhu Wushi's current tyrannical power, but also shocked that Zhu Wushi was actually so uncomposed.

In the hearts of the few of them, especially Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi had always been someone who would deal with anything calmly and would never release the true emotions deep in his heart.

But now, Zhu Wushi's furious appearance was the first time they had seen him like this since they were children by his side.

"That's right, the experts of the Eight Great Sects who suddenly disappeared were all secretly dealt with by me!"

"As for the ministers in the court, those who submit to me prosper, and those who resist me perish!"

"That brat Zhu Houzhao was also imprisoned by me, but so what??!!??"

At this time, bloodshot eyes had appeared in Zhu Wushi's eyes, and he looked at the five young people opposite him like a demon and continued:

"Aren't you always loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the Great Ming??"

"I, Zhu Wushi, am also a member of the Zhu family; the Great Ming is the Zhu family's, so why can't I become the Emperor!"

"Think about how many absurd things Zhu Houzhao did while he was on the throne?! He made the originally powerful Great Ming precarious!"

"Only I can make the Great Ming powerful again; now I just want to save the Great Ming, so why do you all think I am wrong?!!?!"

"Why do you all want to oppose me?!!?"

Hearing Zhu Wushi's words, a complex look appeared in the eyes of the four great secret agents and Linghu Chong, but after a moment, their eyes became very firm again.

"We are indeed loyal to the imperial court, but your methods are too excessive!"

"We really cannot accept such a ruthless person who relied on conspiracies and schemes to become the supreme ruler of the Great Ming!"

Duan Tianya endured the pressure and said to Zhu Wushi with great difficulty.

At this moment, Zhu Wushi was completely disappointed in the five people in front of him, and the infinite killing intent in his heart grew thicker and thicker.

"If you have made up your minds to oppose me, do you really think you can escape from here??!!??"

Several dragon-shaped Qi pillars formed by thick internal energy swirled around Zhu Wushi's body.

The five of them were already unable to catch their breath from the momentum radiated by Zhu Wushi, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The floor made of bluestone also cracked with terrifying fissures following the pressure radiated by Zhu Wushi, and even Zhu Wushi's entire bedchamber began to shake slightly.

Just as Zhu Wushi made up his mind to take action against the five of them, Suxin suddenly broke in from outside the door.

"Wushi!!! Is everything you just said true?????????"

"In these years, you have actually done so many absurd things?!"

Suxin's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at the man in front of her with a somewhat ferocious face, who was the somewhat shy Zhu Wushi she had known before, with disbelief.

Actually, when the five of them entered Zhu Wushi's bedchamber and started talking.

Suxin had already sensed it; although Suxin's own martial arts were not high, after the transformation of her body by the two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms, both her vision and hearing had been greatly improved, no longer falling into the category of ordinary people.

So Suxin had heard all of the conversation between Zhu Wushi and the five of them.

The reason Suxin broke in at this time was that she didn't want Zhu Wushi to commit any more killing sins.

Seeing Suxin break in, Zhu Wushi's eyes instantly returned to their usual appearance.

And he immediately withdrew all the power he had released.

The reason Suxin was injured in the first place was that Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong accidentally injured her during their duel, which made Zhu Wushi search for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom for decades to save her.

Now Zhu Wushi absolutely would not allow a situation similar to that year to happen again.

The moment Zhu Wushi withdrew his cultivation pressure, the five of them couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

After resting for a moment, the five of them slowly stood up, used their internal energy to move the Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang tokens representing the identity of the Dragon Guarding Villa onto the table next to Zhu Wushi, and said:

"Those with different paths cannot make plans together."

"If we meet again in the future, there will be no more father-son relationship! Only the hatred of the country!"

Subsequently, the five of them left the imperial palace.

Zhu Wushi originally thought that since the five of them had completely turned against him, he would keep them here forever.

But with Suxin here, Zhu Wushi could only suppress the killing intent in his heart.

"Wushi, is everything you just said true???"

"Why have you become like this now??!!??"

Suxin looked at Zhu Wushi with bloodshot eyes and said.

Seeing Suxin's appearance at this time, Zhu Wushi suddenly felt a bit guilty.

He was afraid that Suxin would know what he had done over these years, and even more afraid to look into Suxin's eyes.

"I… I did indeed do some things during the years you were asleep."

"But I did all this for the Great Ming!"

Zhu Wushi continued, feigning toughness:

"During the many years you were asleep, the little Emperor never paid attention to state affairs."

"He even favored eunuchs, and there were countless bad people and villains around him."

"If it weren't for me supporting the Great Ming all these years, the Great Ming would have been ruined by that little Emperor long ago!"

"Now I just want to help my Zhu family guard the Great Ming's territory."

"I just want the people of my Great Ming to not have to suffer the hardships of war!"

Hearing Zhu Wushi's words, there was still a trace of pain in Suxin's eyes.
