Chapter 381

Zhu Shoujing leaped over the palace wall, leading several offerings along the roof in a straight line; when passing the mansion where Tang Lanzhou was, he left one offering to replace the commander of the Imperial Guard who had already left, and then continued to chase forward.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhu Shoujing caught up with the Imperial Guard commander.

"Where?"

"Ahead, still chasing and fleeing. Only now it's An Qisheng chasing the Yingzhou Celestials."

As they communicated, their footsteps didn't stop.

"One Yingzhou Celestial has already died, An Qisheng left a backhand on them. The subordinate checked the corpse, one hit to the back, no means of resistance—it was like..."

The Imperial Guard commander closed his mouth when he reached this point.

Zhu Shoujing knew what he wanted to say.

It was like when he was dragged into an illusion by the Jianwen Emperor.

"Have you tried to make a move?"

"No, the subordinate didn't get close."

"Very good, you go back and find Lord Tang. He must have a Celestial guard by his side; the Eastern Depot has not yet been destroyed, and they might make a move against Lord Tang."

The Imperial Guard commander took the order and left.

Zhu Shoujing suddenly accelerated.

An Qisheng had indeed left a backhand on the Yingzhou Celestials.

Having experienced the split of Penglai and the rebellion of Zheng Anqi, An Qisheng must have made full preparations; the Yingzhou Celestials were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of him. He had to catch up as soon as possible; every moment later, every Yingzhou Celestial who died, An Qisheng's recovery would be a point faster.

When Li Miao wakes up, the more Yingzhou Celestials alive, the greater the chance of winning.

Zhu Shoujing exerted his light martial arts to the fullest, rushing forward desperately.

A moment later, on a roof, he saw another corpse of a Yingzhou Celestial.

At the same time, he also saw An Qisheng ahead, who was about to slap his palm toward the head of the last Yingzhou Celestial.

Zhu Shoujing didn't hesitate at all, suddenly throwing the double blades in his hand!

Chirp—

As if tearing through a piece of cloth, his black and white double blades exploded a white ring-shaped sonic boom in the air, reaching An Qisheng in an instant!

The white blade shot toward the left rib!

The black blade shot toward the skull!

An Qisheng seemed to want to take it head-on, but when the double blades reached him, they broke through his protective True Qi with difficulty.

He was seriously injured and had split his "nature seed" to fight Li Miao in the mental image, his realm was severely damaged, and his protective True Qi was far from what it used to be. He didn't seem to be able to take this full-force blow that Zhu Shoujing had been accumulating for a long time!

An Qisheng's eyes narrowed, and he withdrew his move to slap the double blades away.

At the same time, the Yingzhou Celestial with empty eyes seemed to wake up from a nightmare, shuddered violently, and retreated rapidly.

And Zhu Shoujing and the several offerings also killed their way to the front.

"Lord Zhu, catch the blade!"

Two offerings used a fist and a palm in mid-air, smashing onto the double blades slapped away by An Qisheng.

Clang!

The double blades flew over, Zhu Shoujing caught the blades, and the True Qi and momentum he had been accumulating during the rapid march exploded!

"Eat a blade from me!"

Chirp—

The white blade tore through the air, slashing down from mid-air!

"The rooster crows and the world is white"!

The inheritance of the Great Ming Taizu, the most bright and upright blade technique in the world!

The blade edge approached An Qisheng, and the strong wind blew away the flying ash within a zhang radius!

At this instant, Zhu Shoujing and An Qisheng looked at each other.

He was no longer in that dying state, his silver hair was half black and half white, and most of the wrinkles had disappeared. His arms, which had been broken at the root, had recovered, only his left foot still had a bare ankle.

His eyes were waveless, deep as an abyss.

Zhu Shoujing's heart sank.

Just from the appearance, An Qisheng had recovered quite a bit.

This blade of his, I'm afraid it's dangerous!

Sure enough, An Qisheng didn't mean to dodge at all, raised his hand, turned his palm, and came toward his blade edge!

Clang! A harsh screech exploded, sparks flying!

Zhu Shoujing's full-force blade was firmly stuck in his palm!

"Protective True Qi! Already recovered!"

Zhu Shoujing's expression changed.

"Sure enough, what His Majesty said is right, we shouldn't think about fighting him head-on... drag, drag him, drag until His Majesty comes!"

The word "drag" was very common in Wu Lin battles; in the minds of those with little Wu Lin experience, it didn't seem like a big deal. But Zhu Shoujing knew very well that this kind of task was the most dangerous.

In the battle between two armies, the ones who suffer the most casualties are the ones covering the retreat!

An Qisheng's other palm had already darted to his face from bottom to top!

If it were a one-on-one duel, facing an opponent whose defense couldn't even be broken by a full-force blade, Zhu Shoujing probably wouldn't last ten moves... but fortunately, he wasn't the only one who came this time.

And An Qisheng was not in a perfect state!

"I'll come!"

"Eat a punch from me!"

In an instant, two roars!

Two offerings who mainly cultivated "Diamond" rushed over instantly, and both punched An Qisheng's hands!

Bang, bang!

Two shocks, both offerings felt a sweetness in their throats, their figures retreated several steps, and they suffered internal injuries.

But An Qisheng's offensive was effectively blocked!

The next instant, Zhu Shoujing's left-hand black blade rose silently from the ground, stabbing toward An Qisheng's broken left foot ankle.

Heaven and earth are dark, wind and rain are black.

Corresponding to "The rooster crows and the world is white," the most fierce assassination blade technique in the world.

Zhu Shoujing stared fixedly at An Qisheng's left foot.

With An Qisheng's realm, regrowing severed limbs was just an instant. According to the Imperial Guard commander, when he first saw An Qisheng, his arms were broken at the root. After killing two Yingzhou Celestials, his arms grew back.

So, this injury was closely related to An Qisheng's "nature," and it was no longer as simple as just missing flesh.

Then pushing back, protective True Qi was An Qisheng's Xuanlan, Xuanlan was the realm of nature cultivation... then An Qisheng's left foot not recovering, did it mean the protective True Qi here also had problems?

Celestial battle, just an instant!

Zhu Shoujing had to gamble!

At this moment, An Qisheng's gaze suddenly looked down, colliding with Zhu Shoujing's gaze.

And then he didn't care about the joint attack of several offerings at all, flipped his palms down, and smashed toward Zhu Shoujing like Mount Tai!

"Stop him!"

Zhu Shoujing roared.

"Take this!"

Ruan Mei held an Emei piercer and stabbed toward An Qisheng's ear hole from the side!

Several offerings understood, two offerings mainly cultivating Diamond flashed to An Qisheng's front, almost taking An Qisheng's palms with their flesh!

And Zhu Shoujing's black blade finally stabbed An Qisheng's left foot.

Squeak—

An extremely harsh sound, as if metal was scraping against each other, suddenly rang out. At the same time, Zhu Shoujing's expression turned pale.

He guessed wrong.

An Qisheng's left foot was also covered with protective True Qi.

He might be in an unusual state, and the lack of his left foot might indeed be related to nature cultivation, but this did not affect his protective True Qi.

At this moment, Zhu Shoujing stared into An Qisheng's eyes.

Waveless.

Still deep as an abyss.

Having walked for a thousand years, the Celestial battles An Qisheng had experienced far exceeded everyone in the world today. The desperate situations he had experienced also far exceeded Zhu Shoujing.

This was a trap he had deliberately left behind.

Even if seriously injured, even if the state was not perfect, he didn't think about planning for the long term, waiting until the state was fully recovered before making plans.

His left foot injury was just to lure Zhu Shoujing and several offerings to stay... and then kill them.
