Chapter 552 Great Battle
After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Republic of China, who was sitting on the dragon throne, nodded and said, "What Eunuch Cao said is correct. What do you think, Imperial Uncle?"
Zhu Wushi immediately objected, saying, "Your Majesty, you absolutely mustn't! The mission of the Dragon Guard Manor is to protect Your Majesty. If the entire Dragon Guard Manor were to be deployed, what would we do if the grandson of the Ming Emperor sent experts to attack the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I believe it would be better to issue invitations to heroes throughout the Republic of China, recruiting martial arts masters from all walks of life to assassinate the grandson of the Ming Emperor."
Zhu Houzhao was quite dissatisfied with Zhu Wushi's words. However, Zhu Houzhao dared not show it, after all, Zhu Wushi was the number one martial arts expert in the Republic of China.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"In that case, let's do as the Imperial Uncle suggests."
After saying this, Zhu Houzhao immediately left the court.
A few days later, in the capital of the Song Dynasty.
The monks from Shaolin Temple have also arrived.
Leading the group was Abbot Cixuan of Shaolin Temple.
On the city tower of the capital.
When the Imperial Guards saw the group of monks wielding cudgels and approaching the city walls menacingly, they immediately closed the city gates and sent word to the grandson of the Ming emperor.
Inside the main hall.
Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, rushed over.
And this moment.
Zhu Yingze was busy with court affairs.
Guo Zhen said nervously, "Your Highness, a group of monks have arrived outside the capital!"
"Moreover... these monks all seem to be martial arts masters, at least at the Grandmaster level!"
It should be noted that Guo Zhen had also practiced martial arts, so he was naturally able to sense the true energy within these Shaolin monks.
However, Zhu Ying remained completely calm after hearing these words, as if everything was under his control.
"What's the panic?"
"I knew that these martial arts masters from the Song Dynasty would definitely seek revenge against the Ming Dynasty."
After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he slowly stood up from the dragon throne and then leisurely walked to Guo Zhen.
"Let the Imperial Guards hold the line for a while. I want to see how strong these Shaolin monks really are!"
Seeing Zhu Ying's composure, Guo Zhen's emotions calmed down considerably, and he immediately accepted the order.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
at the same time.
Beneath this capital city, Cixuan, a high-ranking martial arts monk of the Song Dynasty, addressed his fellow disciples and fellow students: "Amitabha, although we Buddhists never kill, the Song Dynasty has now been destroyed by the Great Ming Empire in the north!"
"In order to restore our country, we have no choice but to resort to ruthless killing!"
As soon as Ci Xuan finished speaking, he instantly flew into the sky.
And follow.
The other three monks of the Ci generation also followed Ci Xuan's steps and immediately took to the air!
Immediately.
These four eminent monks from Shaolin Temple simultaneously released their inner energy, and in the next second, this inner energy, like sharp swords, instantly pierced into the city wall!
now.
Many Imperial Guard soldiers were injured by the true energy released by this eminent monk from the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, Ci Xuan threw the magic staff in his hand into the air. Obviously, for a master of Ci Xuan's caliber, the magic staff was completely useless and even hindered Ci Xuan's performance.
So Cixuan simply threw away the staff and then used the Shaolin secret technique, Vajra Finger!
"Oh!"
In the blink of an eye, the true energy released by the Vajra Finger slammed heavily onto the city wall.
Instantly.
It emitted a deafening, vibrating sound.
It felt like an earthquake!
"Boom!!!"
To be honest, Ci Xuan didn't actually want to go on a killing spree. If he wanted to kill people, he could have easily targeted the soldiers on the city wall.
But at this moment, Ci Xuan's true energy only struck the city wall.
that's it!
The city wall of the capital was instantly blown open!
have to say.
As a Grandmaster, Ci Xuan possessed abundant internal energy, and moreover, he cultivated the orthodox Shaolin teachings.
The power of this Vajra Finger technique is naturally quite formidable!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, deep within the imperial palace in the capital, were also startled by this sound!
"What...what's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice, "What's all this commotion outside? Why is there such a big disturbance!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Father, according to what Guo Zhen said, there seems to be a group of Shaolin monks under the city gate of the capital!"
To be honest, after Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a hint of doubt.
"Monk?"
"Hmph, these monks are no ordinary monks, since they can make such a commotion."
"Let's go ask Xiong Ying what's going on!"
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely curious, went with Zhu Biao to the main hall of Zhu Ying.
"Grandfather, Father, why did you two come together?" Zhu Ying asked with great curiosity.
Zhu Biao quickly asked, "Xiong Ying, what exactly is going on outside the city? Why is it so serious?"
Zhu Yingzhi stood up, his expression calm: "Reporting to Grandfather and Father, it is the remaining Shaolin monks from the Song Kingdom who have come to seek revenge. They are currently fighting the Imperial Guards outside the city."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, but he didn't panic. He simply asked, "Nothing serious has happened, has it?"
"Grandfather, rest assured, I was prepared, and there is nothing seriously wrong at the moment."
Zhu Ying spoke calmly, showing no regard for those Shaolin monks.
Just then, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, rushed in again, looking even more flustered than before.
Guo Zhen shouted at Zhu Ying, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, something terrible has happened!!"
"Those four Shaolin monks outside the city are too powerful. Several hundred Imperial Guards have already been seriously injured. If this continues, the city walls may not be able to be held!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao was clearly flustered. He immediately said to Zhu Ying, "Xiong Ying, this is no small matter. Hundreds of Imperial Guards are seriously injured. If this stalemate continues, the losses will be too great." Zhu Ying curled his lip and sneered, "Father, don't worry. These few Shaolin monks can't cause any big trouble."
"Since they're so ungrateful, I'll go and meet them myself!"
After saying that, Zhu Ying turned and walked out of the hall. Clearly, he never took these eminent monks seriously.
after all.
Zhu Ying knew very well that unless it was Bodhidharma or this sweeping monk who came, he might be able to take it seriously.
However, Zhu Ying was not afraid of Ci Xuan and the others at all!
After seeing Zhu Ying's confidence, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said excitedly to Zhu Biao, "Let's go and see just how capable my Ming Dynasty's grandson really is!"
Zhu Biao quickly agreed and followed Zhu Yuanzhang towards the city gate.
Before long, the three of them climbed up the city wall.
At this time, the city wall was still in chaos, and the seriously wounded imperial guards lay on the ground.
Meanwhile, four Shaolin monks outside the city were suspended high in the sky.
His eyes were coldly fixed on the city wall, and his body was completely enveloped in true energy!
Zhu Ying walked to the edge of the city wall, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the four monks in the sky, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you run wild in the capital of my Great Ming Dynasty and even injure my Imperial Guards!"
"That's practically suicide!"
Simultaneously.
Zhu Ying also discovered that there were many holes in the city wall, which undoubtedly made him even angrier!
Ci Xuan looked down and saw that Zhu Ying was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. He knew that this must be Zhu Ying, the grandson of the Ming emperor. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, I am Ci Xuan, the abbot of Shaolin Temple. These three people beside me are my junior brothers, Ci Neng, Ci Hui, and Ci Ming."
"You must be the grandson of the Ming emperor!"
As soon as Ci Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Ying leaped lightly and appeared directly in front of Ci Xuan.
"I am the grandson of the Ming Emperor. Speak, what do you want by making such a fuss to get me out here!"
Zhu Ying did not directly attack Ci Xuan. After all, Zhu Ying was well aware that if Ci Xuan wanted to go on a killing spree, then all the Imperial Guards on the city wall would have been killed long ago.
Since Cixuan did not do that, Zhu Ying naturally did not want to directly confront Cixuan with fists and feet.
Both of them still gave each other face.
At this moment, Ci Xuan took a deep breath and then said to Zhu Ying in front of him, "Your Great Ming Empire sent troops without cause, destroyed our Song Kingdom, and killed our Song people!"
"We, the disciples of Shaolin, have come here today to avenge the Song Dynasty, to take your dog's life, and to restore justice to our Song Dynasty!"
Ci Xuan's words were full of anger, and at the same time, his true energy grew stronger and stronger, as did the three Shaolin monks behind him!
But Zhu Ying didn't take it seriously at all; in fact, his sneer deepened.
Zhu Ying coldly replied, "Fairness? In my eyes, might makes right!"
"I can attack the Song Dynasty whenever I want, and I can destroy the Song Dynasty whenever I want. How dare you few lowly Shaolin monks meddle in my affairs?"
"Now that you're here, you're not leaving. I want to see just how capable these so-called high monks of Shaolin Temple really are!"
Without a doubt, Zhu Ying's words were extremely arrogant, which infuriated Ci Xuan and the other three!
at last!
Ci Xuan's defenses were completely breached.
He roared at Zhu Ying, "Arrogant brat, you don't know your place! Today, I, this old monk, will act on behalf of Heaven and cripple you, this arrogant and domineering grandson of the Emperor!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ci Xuan moved first. The staff in his hand grew several feet longer, and his true energy gathered at the tip of the staff, turning into a golden staff shadow several feet long, which slammed fiercely towards Zhu Ying!
At the same time, Ci Neng, Ci Hui, and Ci Ming also attacked together, unleashing the Great Compassion Palm, the Flower-Picking Finger, and the Vajra Pestle. Three powerful attacks were launched at Zhu Ying, sealing off all directions and leaving him nowhere to hide.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were on the city wall, were both alarmed when they saw this situation!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Zhu Biao raised his hand to stop him.
"Father, don't worry, I believe Xiong Ying can handle this!"
Clearly, Zhu Biao was quite confident in Zhu Ying's abilities!
At this moment, high in the sky, Zhu Ying still stood in the same spot with his hands behind his back, without moving an inch.
Just like before, Zhu Ying's face remained expressionless.
The true energy released by these people had absolutely no lethality on Zhu Ying!
Just as the four people's attacks were about to hit Zhu Ying, a layer of light golden true energy shield suddenly appeared around Zhu Ying. This true energy shield was crystal clear, but extremely hard, protecting his entire body completely.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four loud bangs rang out in succession. Ci Xuan and the other three people's attacks slammed into the true energy shield. The golden true energy shield only rippled a few times and was not damaged at all. Instead, it deflected all four people's attacks back.
Ci Xuan and the other three felt a tightness in their chests as a powerful recoil struck them, causing them to stumble back several steps, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This...this is impossible!"
Ci Xuan stared wide-eyed at Zhu Ying.
"You're just a young man, how could you possibly have such powerful internal energy? This internal energy shield can only be cultivated by someone at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!"
The other three Shaolin monks were also terrified, their faces pale and their eyes filled with horror.
Clearly, they never expected that this seemingly young grandson of the Ming emperor would possess such terrifying strength.
Zhu Yuanzhang, watching from the city tower, saw this scene and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He then burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Good! As expected of my good grandson, his strength is indeed formidable!"
Zhu Ying continued to cast a cold gaze at Ci Xuan and the other three high in the sky, and said in a calm tone, "Now, do you still think you have the right to seek revenge against me?"
Ci Xuan and the other three were indeed afraid, but when they thought of the destruction of the Song Kingdom, they gritted their teeth and charged towards Zhu Ying!
Obviously.
Even if they couldn't win, these Shaolin monks had no choice but to grit their teeth and go for it today!
Ci Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared, "Arrogant brat! Even if you are strong, we will never back down! Today, we will fight you to the death!"
After saying that, Ci Xuan charged forward again!
Following closely behind, Ci Neng, Ci Hui, and Ci Ming gritted their teeth and caught up, launching a fierce attack on Zhu Ying with all their might.
Zhu Ying watched them rush over, his face expressionless. He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.
The next second, six invisible streams of true energy shot out from Zhu Ying's fingertips like sharp swords!
Six Meridian Divine Sword!
Because the Six Meridians Divine Sword was too fast, Ci Neng didn't have time to react before one of the true energies struck his chest.
that's it!
Ci Neng fell directly to the ground!
"Compassionate Power!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Ci Xuan was immediately heartbroken.
but!
Before Ci Xuan could finish speaking, Zhu Ying unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword once again!
"Shhhhh!"
Six sword energies again!
This time, Ci Hui and Ci Ming were also struck by the sword energy! (End of Chapter)
