In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Therefore, he was unaware of the empire's true strength, but at least the combined forces of these assassins posed no threat to the Zhang family. Hence, Zhang Xiaoshan's tone was extremely contemptuous.

However, the Dragon Emperor, whom Zhang Xiaoshan considers an opponent, is treated with such seriousness.

The differences are obvious.

Undoubtedly, he was just a clown who only saw the petty tricks.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Zhang family be able to do with ease what these imperial rebels could do?

But why didn't Zhang Xiaoshan do it?

"See that thug next to the Zhu family? If you get the chance, kill him."

The Crimson Sky Sword Master's strength is definitely no less than that of those top swordsmen, yet he still blends into the crowd, which shows that his character is far beyond your reach.

Although this Crimson Sky Sword Master is not yet a force to be reckoned with in front of the Zhang family.

However, according to the will of Heaven, this person will surely rise from humble beginnings to become a hidden dragon vying for supremacy in the future, and may even be the most likely chosen one to become a true dragon!

Now is the best time to kill him before he gains power.

Compared to the Zhang family, the others are nothing to fear.

"Is he the Crimson Sky Sword Master?"

Zhang Sheng's eyes gleamed with a strange light; he had heard Zhang Xiaoshan say something similar before.

Unexpectedly, in just a short while, he saw this chosen one.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoshan's guidance, he would never have been able to connect the carefree hoodlum in front of him with the legendary chosen one.

But he had no doubt about Zhang Xiaoshan's words.

At least in his understanding, Zhang Xiaoshan's decisions were never wrong.

Moreover, on the path to hegemony, Zhang Xiaoshan's seemingly unambitious eyes concealed years of scheming.

Chapter 779 The Eight Swords of Yue King VS The Twin Heroes of Guigu

"kill!"

Even with the Imperial Guards maintaining absolute strength, plus the Shadow Guards, the Dragon Emperor was surrounded by numerous defenses.

However, at this moment, the imperial rebels had an overwhelming advantage, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. They were simply not something that the imperial guards and the second- or third-rate Shadow Guards could withstand.

Especially given the pressure on these top experts, they simply couldn't spare any resources to support the Dragon Emperor.

Tian Ci's Ganjiang sword is sharp and fierce, while his Moye sword is light and swift. In particular, his seemingly clumsy body is actually exceptionally agile.

Even though Shangguan Jin Hong was a powerful ruler of his generation, and his Dragon and Phoenix Twin Rings were famous throughout the world, he still couldn't fully utilize them.

It wasn't that he was weak, but rather that Tian Ci maintained high output throughout. The fierce and sharp Gan Jiang sword and the swift and invisible Mo Xie sword complemented each other perfectly.

Moreover, the killing intent emanating from these two swords was chilling and fierce. Even though the dazzling sword light did not graz him, Shangguan Jin Hong still felt a stinging pain on his skin.

Moreover, Tian Ci's obese body and swift, agile swordsmanship, with his seamless barrage of sword shadows, gave him no chance to retaliate.

This constant high output left Shangguan Jin Hong utterly frustrated.

However, in terms of attrition, Shangguan Jin Hong believed that as long as Tian Ci showed even a slight weakness, he could definitely kill him with a single blow.

This is also Tian Ci's most fatal weakness!

A bright young man.

Similarly, Xinghun, Da Siming, Shao Siming, and others were also having a difficult time at this time.

Xinghun faced Tian Hu, a domineering and ferocious madman. His sword energy surged, and his tiger soul possessed an unparalleled sharpness. Against Tian Hu's Qi-gathering blade, Xinghun maintained a high output throughout, suppressing him.

Like a needle against a wheat awn, the powerful aura that gathers into a blade clashes with the domineering strength of Tiger Soul, a true battle of dragons and tigers.

However, Xinghun is at a disadvantage because of his size!

The attacks from Da Siming against Shangtian Yan and Shao Siming against Mei San Niang were all aimed at killing, with the goal of disfiguring the victim.

However, the most intense battle was between the Eight Swords of Yue King and the Twin Heroes of Guigu.

The six sword slaves among the Eight Swords of the King of Yue were the most perfectly coordinated partners.

Yan Ri is the swordsman with the strongest killing intent and the most powerful sword energy, whose strength rivals that of the Ghost Valley Duo.

*Sizzle! Sizzle...*

The moment the King of Yue unleashed his Eight Swords, the killing intent of the eight sword shadows merged into one, and a chilling, eternal night-like terror enveloped the vast expanse.

In the eyes of most experts, the hissing sword beams and the overlapping sword nets, a web woven from countless sword energies and sword lights, instantly enveloped the Ghost Valley Duo.

The sword flashed, its killing intent chilling.

Even a grandmaster might find it difficult to move an inch in such a situation.

Perhaps the moment you take that first step, you'll be torn to pieces by a thousand swords.

hum!

In the gaps of eternal night, Yuanhong and Shachi were drawn with a clang, their light chilling across nineteen provinces.

Accompanied by a soaring sword aura that shot into the heavens, two enormous, ancient, and incomparably sharp sword lights directly tore through the dark sky woven by the Eight Swords of Yue.

At the same time, the two heroes of Guigu Valley also faced the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly, and all that could be seen was the sharp flashing of sword light and the rampant sword energy.

Even if others try to get within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), they are likely to be torn apart by the sword energy of both sides.

Even the remaining masters couldn't help but feel fortunate to see the Ghost Duo locked in combat with the Eight Swords of Yue.

If they were to face either side, it would be far more complex than two peerless sword saints and eight top swordsmen.

Even the Dragon Emperor couldn't help but frown.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Valley Duo alone managed to entangle their most elite Yue King Eight Swords.

"The Twin Heroes of Guiguzi!"

When he was angry, the feudal lords trembled; when he lived in peace, the world was at peace.

In less than ten breaths, the Dragon Emperor's gaze fell upon the group of experts who had come to attack.

The black swordsman wielded the Supreme Giant Sword, and with a few swings, he could cut through anything, not even shield walls, and even dragon steeds were sliced ​​in half without the slightest hesitation.

Its domineering and unparalleled power is as irresistible as a god descending to earth.

Is this the strength of the top three on the blacklist?

Even Zhao Gao, who had received the Black Swordsman's power, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding as he looked at the Black Swordsman, who had improved even more.

This is the effect of the Black Swordsman's recovery period, without using the top-tier recipe. If he were to eat ginseng soup and exotic beast meat, given his extraordinary talent, he would likely be even more terrifying.

No wonder the Black Swordsman could enter the top three of the Black List with his Wedding Dress Divine Skill, while he could only be seventh!

The invincible and domineering power of the Giant Sword made even the Dragon Emperor, who was confident in his innate Qi, feel a sense of dread.

The same was true of another Xiang Yu.

The young man from the Xiang clan who was once strong enough to lift a cauldron is now equally unstoppable and incredibly powerful with his Overlord's Peerless Halberd.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

Wherever he went, gods and Buddhas alike were killed if they stood in his way.

In a short time, he had already fought his way into the inner perimeter of the Imperial Guard with his terrifying brute strength.

As for the archers?

The speed of a group of martial arts masters was such that by the time they drew their bows and crossbows, these 'imperial rebels' had already rushed to the front and were engaged in a melee with their own forces.

Moreover, these are all top-notch martial arts masters. Although the imperial arrows are terrifying, the imperial soldiers who are about to fight them also become their shields, making it impossible for them to threaten these imperial rebels.

After all, as they fired their crossbow bolts, these imperial rebels had already lifted up the corpses of imperial soldiers and used them as a shield.

In terms of brutality, they are less than one-tenth!

With two ruthless killing gods leading the way, followed closely by experts from the Mohist and Agriculturalist schools, both Meng Yi and Zhao Gao wore solemn expressions.

....... . .......

If this stalemate continues, it will only take a minute for the Black Swordsman and Xiang Shaoyu to break through the Imperial Guards' defenses and strike at the heart of the enemy.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Even if the Dragon Emperor is unharmed, it is still a serious dereliction of duty for Zhao Gao.

Moreover, there were the remaining masters of the Agricultural School and the Mohist School—the Mohist leader, the four chief commanders, Zhu Jia, Wu Kuang, Bone Demon, Liu Ji of the Agricultural School… plus Zhang Liang of the Confucian School, Xiang Yan of the Xiang clan, and even some assassins who sought to assassinate the Qin emperor…

These imperial rebels still retain considerable power, enough to threaten the Dragon Emperor's safety.

The reason why the Grandmaster did not make a move was because both sides were in a stalemate.

Even so, preparations for the 'checkmate' have already begun, and the Grandmaster's fate is not far off.

"Tyrant, die!"

Wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, Xiang Shaoyu stared at the Dragon Emperor, who was expressionless and indifferent to all living beings.

Ten feet away, he threw a short spear through the air.

It roared like thunder and lightning, carrying a terrifying force capable of piercing through metal and stone, and arrived in an instant.

However, the Dragon Emperor remained calm and composed throughout.

The moment the short spear approached the dragon carriage, a rosary bead in Zhao Gao's hand shot out and struck the thrown short spear.

The jade rosary, made of glassy material, instantly turned to dust, and the short spear, its power completely dissipated, fell to the ground.

Seeing that his first attack had missed, Xiang Shaoyu immediately leaped up and hurled the Overlord Spear again, while a young man followed closely behind.

Chapter 780 Zhuge Zhengwo Makes His Move

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

The Overlord Spear is a top-tier divine weapon, and its compatibility with Xiang Shaoyu has achieved a state of perfect harmony between man and spear.

The power of this attack was such that even Zhao Gao and Meng Yi might not be able to stop it.

Just as Zhao Gao was about to make his move, a figure descended from the sky and blocked the Dragon Emperor's path.

The Overlord Spear that had originally been piercing through the air was blocked by a three-foot-high wall of energy, unable to advance even an inch.

Great master!

The Grandmaster-level expert has finally made his move.

And it wasn't just anyone they imagined; it was actually a high-ranking judicial official in the empire—

Zhuge Shenhou!

The general public did not know much about Zhuge Zhengwo's abilities.

Even though Gao Jianli had been to the Song Dynasty, he had never seen Zhuge Zhengwo make a move. At that time, Zhuge Zhengwo's mission was to protect Emperor Huizong's safety.

However, Zhuge Liang, the "Seven-One-Seven" Divine Marquis, was already one of the strongest figures in the Song Dynasty twenty years ago.

However, Zhuge Zhengwo did not kill innocent people, and his job was to enforce the law. Therefore, when Lin'an Prefecture was captured, Zhuge Zhengwo did not take any action.

After all, with the two countries at war, the Song Dynasty had no hope left, and his intervention would only increase casualties.

He was a Legalist, not a military strategist!

For most people, Zhuge Zhengwo was a legendary figure.

Unexpectedly, twenty years later, Zhuge Zhengwo has broken through that bottleneck and entered a new realm.

"Zhuge Zhengwo!"

As one of the Nine Ministers of the Empire, Zhuge Zhengwo's Divine Marquis's Mansion wielded considerable power.

Similarly, Zhuge Zhengwo, like Zhao Gao, had Li Si as his superior.

However, compared to the Net that had long since broken free from Li Si's control, Zhuge Zhengwo's Divine Marquis's Mansion did not overstep its authority in any way.

Ultimately, it was the Divine Marquis's Mansion that upheld the fairness, impartiality, and justice of the imperial laws.
