Chapter 64 - Assassination
In the drizzling rain, a shadow was moving forward at lightning speed in the Han Palace.
The Han Palace was, at least, the palace that belonged to the Middle Han Area's King, Liu Bei. At this moment, there were more than 2000 guards present, but no one was able to discover this black shadow!
"Humph!" A hundred thousand Home Breaker s were all trash! Other than Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi, there are no other Innate Rankers in Home Breaker! "
"Today, I will kill Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty! The Crown Prince was the direct descendant of Zhao Ji, the eldest son of Zhao Huan! After killing the crown prince, the direct line of descent of the Song Dynasty has been destroyed, leaving behind only a mere Emperor Kang! "
"Zong Ze who is beside Emperor Kang is known as the number one expert in the officials of the Central Plains. I would like to have a try with him and see if he is stronger than me! In this world, other than Lin Lingsu, there is no one else whom I, the free and unfettered child, respect! Even Zong Ze cannot do it! "
So it turned out that the black figure was indeed the carefree person who had come to assassinate Zhao Chen!
On a rainy night, the sky was abnormally dark and gloomy. Coupled with the fact that the unrestrained child had thoroughly investigated the defenses within the Han Palace, he actually did not encounter any obstructions along the way!
However, there was always an accident!
At this moment, five guards appeared in front of them! These five guards were walking forward with lanterns in their hands! They were the elites of the Home Breaker, and were very different from the average Home Breaker Soldiers. Even at night, they were exceptionally cautious!
The man did not dodge at all when he saw the guards coming. He was still moving forward like a bolt of lightning!
"Who is it?" Finally, the guards realized something was wrong!
However, just as his words left his mouth, an astonishing sword energy descended from the sky, causing the heads of the five guards to fly into the sky!
The child did not even stop for a second!
Only, he did not know that the two words "who" had alarmed Yue Fei who was in Dry Clear Palace earlier. At this moment, Yue Fei had already told Zhao Chen to leave Dry Clear Palace!
"Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is in the rear of the palace! For a mere ten-year-old youth to kill him was somewhat cruel! However, when Zhao Kuangyin killed the descendant of the Great Zhou Empire, the Song Dynasty Imperial Family pursued after the Great Zhou Empire's descendants for over a hundred years. It is unknown just how many infancy children were killed by the Song Dynasty Imperial Family! A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! I will definitely use the cruelest method to kill Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty today! Revenge! " Free and Unrestrained Child thought to himself.
His figure got closer and closer to the Dry Clear Palace, and he suddenly looked forward!
At this moment, there was only one guard standing there before Dry Clear Palace!
The guard stood straight, staring at the unrestrained child in a daze!
"Ha ha!" The carefree child couldn't help but laugh. There was only one guard, and he didn't run after seeing him. This guard was too daring!
"Forget it. Seeing as you still have some guts, I won't kill you. I'll just knock you out!" The carefree child secretly thought to himself.
His figure was getting closer and closer to that guard. From ten zhang to eighty zhang, then to sixty zhang, then forty zhang. At that moment, he saw that guard raise his hand!
"Hey!" Do you want to fight with me? I'm afraid you do not have the qualifications! " A trace of a mocking smile appeared on the face of the unrestrained child.
Ten meters … Twenty feet … Ten feet …
At this moment, the opposing guard made his move! This movement of his was shockingly powerful to the extreme!
When he punched forward, even the air was torn apart by the fist's force! Rain splashed everywhere, and a suffocating fist power covered the sky as it headed towards the panacea!
"This is bad!"
The unfettered child felt his entire body turn cold, and he was greatly shocked!
He let out a furious roar as he brandished the longsword in his hand!
"The setting sun on the river!"
"Desert Dust!"
"Frost the Earth!"
In the blink of an eye, three sword strikes came out! Although it was only three strikes, the sword aura was unstoppable. Within a zhang, it was his sword aura!
This was his proud martial arts, the Universal Sword Technique. Now that he made his move, even the world's top experts would have to give way!
However, the opposing guard did not retreat at all. Instead, he threw out three punches in an instant! When the three fists collided with the sword beams, the guard could not help but take a step back.
Before the unrestrained child could react, the opposing guard suddenly rushed over. He did not seem to know any martial arts. It was just that fierce air splitting fist strike. Punches after punches continuously struck towards him!
"Who are you?" The carefree person finally managed to make a sound!
The guard on the other side did not answer at all. He just kept moving forward and clashing with him!
This guard was naturally Yue Fei. Yue Fei only wanted to stall this free and unrestrained child, so as to prevent him from getting injured in the future!
He was one of the famous gods of war in ancient China. His skills were already at the pinnacle of the world at such a young age! This unrestrained child was also a supreme expert in the world! He did not seek to defeat the enemy, but only wanted to stall them. For the time being, the free and unrestrained child would not be able to leave this place!
"Dammit, how could there be such an expert in the Han Palace?" Looking at how he was only around twenty years old, how could he possibly reach the realm of Xiantian Full Circle? In this world, aside from Lin Lingsu and I, there is actually such a young expert in Xiantian Full Circle? " The carefree child found it hard to believe!
He had roamed the world for dozens of years, but it was the first time he had met such a young super expert!
"It's hard to meet an expert!" It seems like you are determined on me! Since that's the case, I'll have a good fight with you! I'll show you the power of my Universal Sword Technique! The unrestrained child gave a long roar, and at that moment, he no longer asked to chase after Zhao Chen, but shouted loudly!
Immediately, the sword qi changed again!
Although it was a rainy night, Yue Fei felt as if he was in a sky full of stars!
There were sword qi everywhere, the sword qi was awe-inspiring, Yue Fei could not even lock onto the figure of the free and unrestrained child!
"What a powerful assassin!" "After I mastered martial arts, this is my first time encountering such an expert!"
At this moment, Yue Fei was also full of energy and was fighting with Xiao Yunzi!
Of the two, one was an expert who had been famous for many years, and the other was an unrivalled general in history. The two of them were actually on par with each other at this time!
"Infernal Queen should already be here! Then the little crown prince would be handed over to Infernal Queen! Even though he could not behead his enemy, he was disappointed! However, as long as the crown prince is dead, I will be satisfied! This expert in front of him, he wanted to know his background! To find out who he was's disciple, and why he had such a high cultivation base at such a young age! I don't believe that there is such a talent in this world … " The carefree child secretly thought to himself.
Zhao Chen was currently heading towards the back of the Dry Clear Palace with Wang Gui and Zhang Xian!
Zhao Chen's face carried an astonished expression, and he said: "Just what kind of assassin is he? Why did Big Brother Yue let me leave in a hurry?! "
"Big Brother, since you've warned me, you must be a top master!" Zhang Xian said.
"I wonder if the Big Brother Yue will be in danger?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Highness, you are overthinking it. My second brother's kung fu is top-notch!" He had a innate constitution, and after cultivating martial arts, he entered the Xiantian Full Circle realm in a short five years! From what I know, there can be no more than five Xiantian Full Circle experts in the world today! Furthermore, even if there were other Xiantian Full Circle experts present, they would not have been able to harm my second brother! " Wang Gui said.
"Inborn innate constitution?" Zhao Chen was surprised!
He had stayed with Yue Fei and the others for a very long time already, and had chatted with them often. However, this was the first time he found out that Yue Fei had an "innate constitution"! Doesn't that mean that Yue Fei was born to be a [Innate] Ranker?!
"That's right!" Second Brother's physique was rarely seen in ten thousand years! With this kind of physique, his martial arts had naturally improved ten times over compared to others! He does not need to cultivate profound inner strength, he only needs the most ordinary inner strength to reach the Xiantian Full Circle! " Wang Gui said.
"Damn, the heavens have really blessed Yue Fei too much!" Zhao Chen thought in his heart!
The three of them retreated. At that moment, they could already hear the sounds of fighting coming from the front!
"Your Highness, let's leave this place as soon as possible!" Right now, the palace is no longer safe! " Wang Gui said.
Zhao Chen nodded.
Just as they were about to continue onward, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the palace walls in front of them. A woman floated down from the sky!
Her figure moved like lightning. Before the three of them could react, she had already arrived in front of them!
She did not even look at Wang Gui and Zhang Xian, instead, she raised both of her palms and slapped towards Zhao Chen's body!
Suddenly, a boundless pressure fell from the sky!
"How dare you!"
"Damn it!"
Wang Gui and Zhang Xian roared and rushed forward, both of them had swords in their hands, and with swords in hand, they slashed with their swords! The palm strike from the woman in front of him had finally dissipated!
However, the opposing woman's martial arts were at its peak. Her body floated slightly, and all of the saber energy flew past her! She pushed her palms forward again and once more struck out!
This time, there were palm shadows everywhere! Although it was night, and the weather was rainy, Zhao Chen and the other two could faintly see her pure white jade palms!
This time, the palm attack was even more powerful, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian used all their might to block the palm strike! However, the woman's third palm came striking!
With two muffled groans, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian's bodies fell backwards! Blood was already trickling out from the corner of their mouths!
"As expected of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, he actually has two Innate Rankers protecting him! But in front of my Infernal Queen, ordinary Innate Rankers are nothing more than trash! Your Highness, die! " Infernal Queen chuckled, and struck a palm towards Zhao Chen's body!
Zhao Chen had already pulled out his own Dragon Lake Sword, and in that instant, he also began to move as well!
He knew that at the most dangerous moment of his life, the assassin in front of him was a supreme expert! Wang Gui and Zhang Xian together were not her opponent, and neither was he himself! However, at this moment, he did not retreat. He only wanted to risk his life!
Snow and wind will not return!
Legend has it that when Zhao Kuangyin's family was poor, when he was in his twenties, his family was short of food, so Zhao Kuangyin decided to leave his hometown and create a family business for his parents and brothers! Back then, besides his martial arts, he had no other specialties! He knew that the road ahead was vast and filled with danger, but he still used his unparalleled determination and willpower to walk outside, and eventually established the foundation that had been built in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years!
Zhao Chen had never been able to comprehend the true essence of this Snow Wind Immemorial Path, but at this moment, when the huge pressure was about to descend, he actually faintly grasped the true essence of this technique!
The Emperor's Heavenly Arts in his body revolved frantically, and streams of inner strength surged into the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword! The ape clothes on his body also released waves of heat, this heat flowed into his body, and then into the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword!
At this moment, Zhao Chen had forgotten everything! He forgot about his previous life, he forgot about his identity as the crown prince, he forgot about the heavy responsibility he had as a prince, he forgot about the Nvzhen and Zhe Keqiu, and his eyes were only on the sword, his heart only on the sword! He wanted to use the sword in his hand to slice through the thorns, to remove all obstacles!
He no longer seemed to be him, but another person had descended onto his body. This person was someone who had relied on the Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword to create the hundred years of history of the Song Dynasty, and this person was his ancestor, Zhao Kuangyin! It was as if he had walked the same path as Zhao Kuangyin! It was similarly difficult in front of him, but he had no regrets, no snow would never return!
"What sword technique is this?" The woman opposite of him let out a surprised sound!
