Chapter 433: Death Battle

Zhu Shoujing climbed over the palace wall, led several attendants to move in a straight line along the roof, passed by the mansion where Tang Lanzhou was, left an attendant to replace the leader of the Imperial Guards 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 leader of the Imperial Guards.

"Where?"

"Ahead, still chasing and fleeing. Only now it's Zheng Anqi chasing the Yingzhou Heaven-Men."

As the two exchanged words, their footsteps did not stop.

"A Yingzhou Heaven-Man has already died, Zheng Anqi left a backhand on them. Subordinate checked the corpse, one strike to the back, no resistance—it was like..."

The leader of the Imperial Guards closed his mouth here.

Zhu Shoujing knew what he wanted to say.

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

"Have you tried to strike?"

"No, subordinate did not get close."

"Very good, you go back to find Lord Tang. He must have a Heaven-Man guard by his side, the Eastern Depot has not yet been destroyed, it is very likely that they will strike at Lord Tang."

The leader of the Imperial Guards took the order and left.

Zhu Shoujing suddenly accelerated.

Zheng Anqi had indeed left a backhand on the Yingzhou Heaven-Men.

Having experienced the Penglai split and Zheng Anqi's rebellion, Zheng Anqi must have made sufficient preparations, and the Yingzhou Heaven-Men were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of him. He must catch up as soon as possible; every moment he was late, every Yingzhou Heaven-Man that died, Zheng Anqi's recovery would be a bit faster.

When Li Miao wakes up, the more Yingzhou Heaven-Men alive, the greater the chance of winning.

Zhu Shoujing exerted his light-body technique to the fullest, desperately rushing forward.

A moment later, he saw another corpse of a Yingzhou Heaven-Man on a roof.

At the same time, he also saw Zheng Anqi ahead, who was slapping his palm toward the head of the last Yingzhou Heaven-Man.

Zhu Shoujing did not hesitate at all, suddenly throwing the pair of blades in his hands!

Swoosh—

As if tearing through a piece of cloth, the black and white pair of blades in his hands exploded with a white ring-shaped sonic boom in the air, and instantly reached Zheng Anqi's front!

The white blade shot toward the left rib!

The black blade shot toward the head!

Zheng Anqi seemed to want to take it head-on, but when the pair of blades reached his front, they painstakingly broke through his protective True Qi.

He is suffering from severe, unhealed injuries, and having split his "Nature Seed" to engage in a mental battle with Li Miao, his realm is severely damaged, and his protective true energy is far inferior to before. It seems he truly cannot withstand this full-power strike that Zhu Shoujing has been building up for so long!

Zheng Anqi's eyes condensed, and he retracted his move to slap the pair of blades away.

At the same time, the Yingzhou Heaven-Man with empty eyes seemed to wake up from a nightmare, trembled violently, and retreated rapidly.

And Zhu Shoujing and the various attendants also killed their way to the front.

"Lord Zhu, catch the blade!"

Two attendants struck with a fist and a palm in mid-air, hitting the pair of blades that had been collapsed by Zheng Anqi.

Clang! —

The twin blades fly over, Zhu Shoujing catches them, and the true energy and momentum he had been building up during his rapid advance explode forth!

"Take this blade!"

Swoosh—

The white blade tore through the air and slashed down from the air!

"The Rooster Crows and the World Turns White"!

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

The blade edge forced its way to Zheng Anqi's front, and the wind from the blade blew away the fly ash within a zhang radius!

At this moment, Zhu Shoujing looked at Zheng Anqi.

He was no longer the appearance of being on the verge of death, 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 the left foot still had only a bare ankle.

His eyes were without any fluctuation, deep as an abyss.

Zhu Shoujing's heart sank.

Just from the appearance, Zheng Anqi had already recovered quite a bit.

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

Sure enough, Zheng Anqi did not mean to dodge at all, raised his hand and flipped his palm to meet his blade edge!

Clang! —A harsh ringing sound exploded, sparks flying!

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

"Protective True Qi! It has recovered!"

Zhu Shoujing's face changed.

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

The word "drag" is very common in Jianghu struggles, and in the hearts of those with little Jianghu experience, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But Zhu Shoujing knew very well that this kind of task is the most dangerous.

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

Zheng Anqi's other palm had already darted to his front from bottom to top!

If it were a one-on-one, facing an opponent whose protective True Qi couldn't even be broken by a full-force blade, Zhu Shoujing probably wouldn't last ten moves... But fortunately, there was more than one person who came this time.

And Zheng Anqi was not in a perfect state!

"I'll come!"

"Take this punch!"

In an instant, two violent shouts!

Two attendants who mainly cultivated "Jin Gang" arrived instantly, and both punched Zheng Anqi's hands!

Bang, bang!

Two loud noises, both attendants felt a sweetness in their throats, their bodies retreated several steps, and they suffered internal injuries.

But Zheng Anqi's offensive was effectively blocked!

The next instant, Zhu Shoujing's black blade in his left hand rose silently from the ground, stabbing toward Zheng Anqi's broken left ankle.

The world is dark and the wind and rain are black.

Corresponding to "The Rooster Crows and the World Turns White," it is the most fierce assassination blade technique in the world.

Zhu Shoujing stared fixedly at Zheng Anqi's left foot.

With Zheng Anqi's realm, regrowing a severed limb is just an instant. According to the leader of the Imperial Guards, when he first saw Zheng Anqi, his arms were broken at the root. After killing two Yingzhou Heaven-Men, his arms grew back.

So, this injury is closely related to Zheng Anqi's "Nature," and it is no longer as simple as a mere lack of flesh and blood.

Then reverse it, protective True Qi is Zheng Anqi's Xuanlan, Xuanlan is the Nature Cultivation realm... Then Zheng Anqi's left foot has not recovered, does it mean that the protective True Qi here also has problems?

The battle between Heaven-Men is just an instant!

Zhu Shoujing must gamble!

At this moment, Zheng Anqi's gaze suddenly looked down, colliding with Zhu Shoujing's gaze.

Then he ignored the joint attack of several attendants and flipped his palms down, smashing toward Zhu Shoujing like Mount Tai!

"Stop him!"

Zhu Shoujing shouted violently.

"Take this move!"

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

Several attendants understood, two attendants who mainly cultivated Jin Gang flashed in front of Zheng Anqi, almost taking Zheng Anqi's palms with their flesh!

And Zhu Shoujing's black blade finally stabbed Zheng Anqi'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 face turned pale.

He guessed wrong.

On Zheng Anqi's left foot, there was also protective True Qi covering it.

His state might be abnormal, 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 at Zheng Anqi's eyes.

No fluctuation at all.

Still deep as an abyss.

Walking through a thousand years, the Heaven-Man slaughter Zheng Anqi has experienced far exceeds everyone in the world today. The desperate situations he has experienced also far exceed Zhu Shoujing.

This is a trap he deliberately left behind.

Even if seriously injured, even if the state is not perfect, he did not think about planning for the long term, waiting for the state to fully recover before making plans.

The injury of his left foot was just to lure Zhu Shoujing and several attendants to stay... and then kill them.
