Chapter 57: Should I secretly intervene to save him

Great Ming Forbidden City.

All the Jianghu people who came to watch held their breath at this moment, not daring to blink even once.

They knew the winner would be decided immediately!

Everyone stared intently.

This would be a moment to witness history!

Martial artists whose realms were insufficient saw how brilliant the moves were and how great the power was; they were very excited to see such a duel.

"This is the scene that should be seen."

"The fighting earlier was just too boring."

"Now that the moves are so brilliant, just watching it feels very satisfying!"

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly.

He didn't want to miss a single second of the scene before him.

After staying in the palace for so long, he finally saw something interesting today.

He had to watch enough of it.

He didn't realize at all that the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the peak of the Forbidden City had caused a negative impact on the Great Ming Imperial Family.

Great Ming was so big; why did they have to duel in the Forbidden City?

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about that, nor did he bother with these matters.

He just wanted to enjoy the show!

There were many people like Zhu Houzhao watching.

However, the true experts had known the outcome from the moment the two struck.

"Ye Gucheng's 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens' is truly terrifying."

"Brother Ximen is likely in grave danger!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face was very anxious; although Ximen Chuixue always had a cold face, he was, after all, Lu Xiaofeng's friend.

Watching a friend die under someone else's sword was a very cruel thing for Lu Xiaofeng.

Yet, Lu Xiaofeng could not stop any of this!

"Ye Gucheng's 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens' truly lives up to its reputation; this sword makes all the swordsmen in the world pale in comparison."

"I hope Brother Ximen can survive this sword."

Chu Liuxiang said this only to comfort himself; he knew there was a large gap between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.

This was vividly reflected in their final moves.

"Hearing you two say that, isn't Brother Ximen really in danger?"

Hua Manlou was also very anxious, his brows furrowed tightly.

Besides the three of them, Zhu Wushi, Zhuge Zhengwo, Guo Juxia, and others beside Zhu Houzhao also sighed and shook their heads helplessly.

Ye Gucheng was a cut above Ximen Chuixue in both strength and sword art.

This duel had no suspense left.

"It's a pity for such a sword genius like Ximen Chuixue; if given enough time, he might not have been unable to ascend to become an Earth Immortal."

Zhuge Zhengwo was very regretful.

He lamented that Great Ming would lose such a top-tier genius.

"Yes, it's a pity!"

Guo Juxia said indifferently.

He was used to the death of geniuses, so his heart was very calm.

Only those who survive and walk to the end can be called true geniuses.

Other geniuses, as long as they die midway, no matter how high their talent, are useless and will only become fodder for later generations' talk.

"How good it would be if Ximen Chuixue joined my Dragon Protection Villa."

"His talent far exceeds that of Tianya and the others."

"Even among the forces I secretly cultivate, no one can surpass Ximen Chuixue."

"Moreover, this person only has the sword in his heart, unlike Tianya and the others who are always thinking about the imperial court."

"Should I secretly intervene to save him?"

Zhu Wushi thought to himself.

After struggling for a while, he gave up this idea.

Ximen Chuixue was indeed a genius, but exposing his strength for him was not worth it.

Moreover, Eunuch Sanbao was also secretly protecting the Emperor.

Zhu Wushi did not want to expose his trump cards.

Furthermore, there was still Ye Gucheng.

After the duel ended, he could try to win over Ye Gucheng.

There was another reason that was even more important: Zhu Wushi felt tonight was a good opportunity to kill the Emperor.

He had already secretly sent people to hide among the martial artists watching the battle.

As long as he found an opportunity, he could take action; of course, even if there was no opportunity, it didn't matter.

Zhu Wushi had other arrangements!

Zhu Houzhao seemed not to have heard the three men's words, his eyes fixed on the final duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.
