Chapter 24 - Treasure Robe
Wang De quietly arrived at the top of the city wall, he looked around and saw nothing but emptiness, not a single person's shadow could be seen.
So it turns out that after the Nvzhen took down the Kaifeng City, almost everyone went to the Kaifeng City to have fun, who would foolishly stand on top of the city walls?
Wang De was elated. He came down from the city wall, came to Zhao Chen and Li Gang's side and said: "Your Highness, Master Li, there is no one up there. Let's go down now!"
When the three of them arrived at the top of the city wall, they saw that it was littered with corpses. These were all left behind from the fierce battle the night before. The majority of them were the corpses of the Song soldiers, and one could occasionally see one or two Nvzhen s. Zhao Chen did not care about the corpses, he walked to the city wall and looked down, immediately feeling dizzy. Kaifeng City was the capital of the Song Dynasty, and also the largest city in the world. Its height was also the highest in the world, reaching tens of meters. Fortunately, Wang De had found a long rope on the way here, so he tied the rope to the city wall. He hugged Zhao Chen with one hand and Li Gang with the other as he brought the two people to jump down.
The three of them rode on top of the clouds like they were riding on clouds, but very quickly, the three of them landed outside of Kaifeng City.
It was still snowing heavily and even Zhao Chen couldn't help but shiver when the cold wind blew. One had to know that this was the first time he had felt such a cold in the winter since he had mastered his martial arts. Wang De didn't feel anything. As an Innate Ranker, he was immune to cold and summer. As for Li Gang, his body was trembling non-stop. Amongst the three of them, he was the weakest.
"We have finally left the Kaifeng City. Tell me, where should we go next?" Zhao Chen said.
"Think carefully about this question … However, we are not escaping from the Kaifeng City right now, this place is still very dangerous! " Li Gang said.
Zhao Chen nodded, but just as he was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves came from afar!
"This is bad!" Zhao Chen was shocked.
"Let's quickly hide!" Li Gang said.
Unfortunately, there was no place to hide! The Kaifeng City was constructed on the plains, and the surroundings of the Kaifeng City was a flat piece of land.
In the midst of the snow and wind, a group of Jin Army could be seen rushing towards their direction! Jin Army's speed was extremely fast, and was about to reach the three of them!
"Your Highness, I'll go block them!" Wang De said.
Without waiting for Zhao Chen's reply, Wang De had already advanced!
When the Jin Army saw Wang De from afar, the first thing she did was to shoot a wave of arrows at Wang De!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sounds of arrows piercing through the air were extremely sharp, at the moment, Wang De had already taken off his robe, he casually waved it, and all of the arrows were blocked by him!
At this time, Jin Army had already rushed in front of Wang De! Wang De roared, his two palms moved forward, and even from afar, two sounds of "bang bang" could be heard. Two Jin Army s along with their horses were knocked to the ground, this was a result of Wang De's painstaking training, it was extremely powerful!
Wang De was charging left and right in front of him, and practically no one could stop his casual palm strike! Very quickly, Wang De snatched one of the war horses away, he rode on it and held onto the Heavenly Swordplay, only to see blood flying everywhere. Every time he swung his sword, a Jin Army's head would be chopped off!
"So this is a real martial art!" When Zhao Chen saw the true killing scene, his face was pale white, but at the same time, he also had the urge to rush forward and kill together with Wang De!
"General Wang is indeed worthy of being the number one expert of the Imperial Guard. I heard that Han Shizhong is even more skillful in the Western Army, if there is a chance, I would like to experience it for myself! " Li Gang said.
"Han Shizhong... And Yue Fei... " Hearing the name Han Shizhong, Zhao Chen was stunned. He had once again heard others praise Han Shizhong's martial arts skills and skills! And as the military god of this era, Yue Fei's martial arts should be above Han Shizhong's!
Just as the two were watching, the sound of horses galloping came from another direction as a Jin Army appeared! This Jin Army was not charging towards Wang De, but towards Zhao Chen and Li Gang!
"Your Highness, quickly flee, I will block this Jin Army!" Li Gang's expression changed greatly as he said.
"You are a scholar, without martial arts, how can you stop him? I'll stop him! " Zhao Chen said loudly.
Li Gang had already rushed forward recklessly, Zhao Chen dragged him to the back, and rushed forward himself! Although he was only ten years old, with his martial arts, he had already opened up all 12 of his true meridians, and started cultivating, far surpassing Li Gang in this aspect! Although Li Gang was old, his strength was still inferior to him!
Zhao Chen was both afraid and excited at the same time. He had already pulled out the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword a long time ago, and when the Jin Army was getting closer and closer, and Jin Army's war horse was about to crash into his body, his body suddenly shifted and dodged. Then, he thrusted his sword towards the Jin Army on horseback! The Jin Army still wanted to block, but how sharp was the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword? The Jin Army's blade was cut into two like paper, Zhao Chen's sword stabbed into his stomach! The Jin Army let out a blood-curdling scream, and fell off her horse!
"So this is murder!" Zhao Chen secretly said to himself as he gasped for air.
The reason why he was gasping for breath was not because he was too exhausted, but because he was too nervous! However, the joy in his heart after killing the enemy was no small matter! He even felt that there was nothing in this world that could compare to the joy of killing an enemy!
However, before he could experience the feeling of killing for the first time, another person rushed over from afar! Although this man was riding on the Jin Army's war horse and was wearing the Jin Army's clothes, he had a Chinese appearance, and did not have the ugly braid of the Jin Army on his head. It seemed like this man was a Han who was working for the Jin Army, which meant he was a traitor to the Han people of the future generations!
"Seeing that you are using a treasured sword, your status must not be small! If I catch you, Nvzhen will definitely reward me greatly! " The traitor looked to be in his thirties, and now he laughed.
He laughed as he slashed towards Zhao Chen!
Zhao Chen anxiously used his sword to block! The man had already seen that Zhao Chen was using a treasure sword, so he did not clash with Zhao Chen's sword head on. Instead, he avoided Zhao Chen's sword by an extremely tricky angle and attacked Zhao Chen's body!
In truth, the blade technique he used was not considered good, it was far from the sword technique that Wang De had passed down to him. It was just that his combat experience was way better than Zhao Chen, the crown prince! This was after all, Zhao Chen's first time on the battlefield, so many exquisite moves could not be used!
After a moment, the man flashed past Zhao Chen's sword, the blade in his hand suddenly slashed towards Zhao Chen's shoulder!
"Crown Prince!" Li Gang screamed!
If the Crown Prince died here, all his dreams would be for naught! If they knew it would turn out like this, they might as well hide inside the Kaifeng City. That way, they might even have the chance to leave!
So it turned out that Zhao Chen had already seen the blade was about to hit his body, and he had no way of dodging at all! In this moment, the blood in his body was stimulated, and his eyes instantly turned red. He no longer cared about the blade that was about to cut him down, and instead attacked his enemy without care for his own life!
The sword technique in his hand changed once again. This strike seemed slow but was actually fast! He thought that he would be able to dodge Zhao Chen's sword attack, but for some reason, the slow looking sword technique suddenly reached an unbelievable speed, and suddenly stabbed at's abdomen!
"What sword technique is this?" Before he died, this was the only thought in his mind.
This strike was the Grand Righteous Sword Style that was passed down in the royal family, it was the world's first grade martial art! Zhao Chen was extremely unfamiliar with the Grand Righteous Sword Style he was controlling, but at that critical moment, when the Emperor's Heavenly Arts in his body was circulating to its limit, the Grand Righteous Sword Style actually made a move on its own! Originally, the Emperor's Heavenly Arts and the Grand Righteous Sword Style were both created by the Song Dynasty's Great Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Chen only used such a sword technique now because of the control of his body, it was no longer the control of his mind!
"Crown Prince!" Li Gang threw himself in front of Zhao Chen and shouted fearfully.
Although the bandit from just now died, his final blade strike still landed on Zhao Chen's shoulder, Li Gang was afraid that Zhao Chen would be injured.
"I... "I …" Zhao Chen's voice trembled, unable to speak.
Li Gang had already anxiously checked Zhao Chen's shoulder, and a moment later, his face revealed a surprised expression, although the blade had cut onto Zhao Chen's shoulder, but Zhao Chen's clothes were torn, and Zhao Chen's body was not injured!
"Is it because that person's strength has been used up, so he is unable to harm the Crown Prince?" Li Gang said in surprise.
"This... What's going on? " Zhao Chen finally regained his senses at this moment and carefully looked at his own shoulder as he asked in surprise.
Li Gang asked in surprise, "Clothes?"
Zhao Chen did not have time to answer Li Gang's question. He picked up the blade on the ground, and slowly cut at the clothes on his shoulder, and sure enough, the clothes were not damaged at all!
"Your Highness … "What kind of clothes are these?" Li Gang asked curiously.
"This is the set of clothes hidden in the armory of the royal family. Back then, Chen Tou once gifted Emperor Taizu a piece of ape skin, and Emperor Taizu made that piece of ape skin into clothes! So it turns out that these clothes are invulnerable to swords and spears, it's really great! " Zhao Chen said excitedly.
"So that's how it is... Your Highness, you disregarded your own safety to protect this humble subject, how can this humble subject endure this? " Li Gang said again.
Just then, Li Gang wanted to protect Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen stopped him. In the end, Zhao Chen, the crown prince, rushed up himself.
"At this moment, we should be on the same boat. Since I've practiced martial arts, it would be best for me to rush up!" Lord Li, you are extremely resourceful, I still need you to advise me! " Zhao Chen laughed.
Just as the two of them were speaking, the group of Jin Army s in the distance shouted in unison, and then, all of them dispersed into the distance!
So Wang De's martial arts were actually too high, adding on Sky Sword's exceptional sharpness, the number of Jin Army who died in his hands amounted to more than fifty, the rest of the Jin Army were thinking that they were no match, so they spread out!
Wang De was already rushing towards Zhao Chen and Li Gang's direction.
