I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 230: The old grudges are over today, Baili Luochen is dead
On the earth, between the ravines.

The lingering sound of the sword energy interweaves with the weak air currents around to form a series of breathtaking pictures, allowing people to clearly hear the sound of the sword and the singing of the wind, and feel the power that transcends the mortal world.

"Master's sword is simply the pinnacle of martial arts." Baili Dongjun sighed with emotion, his eyes flickering with infinite desire for the pinnacle of martial arts: "The sword's will flows like a surging river, but it can stop abruptly at the critical moment. This ease of control is really amazing."

Jun Yu nodded, with the same light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, Master's sword has surpassed the sword itself and has become a state of mind, a symbol of spirit. The sword moves with the heart, and the sword moves with the mind. This is not only a pursuit of swordsmanship, but also an understanding and perception of oneself and the world."

"Big Brother, do you think it's possible for us to be like our Master one day, able to unsheathe a sword and change the weather?" Baili Dongjun turned around and asked. There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, but more of it was a vision for the future.

Jun Yu laughed loudly upon hearing this: "This is inevitable, because we are Master's disciples, and you are Master's most promising disciple. Master's today is our tomorrow. One day, we will also be able to leave our own footprints on the road of martial arts."

"Big Brother, I will surpass Master and become another peak."

Baili Dongjun stood on the top of the city wall, looking confident and determined.

After witnessing this fight between the two, his understanding and comprehension of martial arts has reached a new level.

The true way of kendo does not lie in the sharpness of the sword, but in the depth and breadth of the sword's intent.

Only by keeping the world in mind can you break the rules with one sword and get straight to your heart.

Above, amid the interweaving of light and shadow, Li Changsheng stood proudly in mid-air, appearing extremely lonely and profound.

"Xiao Ba, you are defeated. Come with me. I will take you to see another world."

"Li Changsheng, you want to take me away, isn't it for Beili after all?" Chu Zhao sneered, and then the smile on his face turned into a look of pain. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and could no longer support himself in mid-air, and fell from the sky.

Li Changsheng slowly fell down, shook his head and sighed: "I don't deny that it is indeed for Beili, but it is also for the sake of the world. If I let you continue to make trouble, Beili, Nanjue, Beiman, and even the people of your Xichu will be affected by the war."

Chu Zhao paid a huge price for using his last powerful move.

At this moment, not only were his tendons and veins broken, but he was also affected by the Tian Ning sword, and half of his body was frozen.

If it weren't for the powerful vitality brought by the Heaven and Earth Furnace Sutra, ordinary people would have died long ago.

Now he was almost in a desperate situation and could only use his sword to support himself on the ground and barely stand.

"Li Changsheng, do you think you can defeat me?"

"You no longer have the strength to fight. As long as you are willing to follow me, I will not kill you."

Li Changsheng wanted to kill Chu Zhao today.

On the one hand, the battle just now had really ignited the fire.

It can be said that he has never suffered such a serious injury since his debut.

Don't look at him. He looks much better than Chu Zhao and seems to have only suffered some external injuries. In fact, his internal injuries are quite serious and he is now at the end of his strength.

On the other hand, and the most important reason, he was worried that Chu Zhao, who was protected by the heroic spirits, would be the next legendary Human Emperor, who would open up a fairyland and fish for the fortune of the human world.

Besides that, he could see that Chu Zhao also had murderous intentions.

Moreover, the murderous intent was extremely strong.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his disciples and relatives would be retaliated by Chu Zhao.

So he now has only two choices, either take Chu Zhao to the Four Poles, or end his life today.

Chu Zhao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he couldn't help coughing.

He spat out several mouthfuls of blood mixed with tiny ice cubes, and instantly felt much better.

Chu Zhao slowly straightened his back, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, his eyes were as sharp as torches, he stared at Li Changsheng intently, and chuckled, "Li Changsheng, we'll talk about it after you survive."

Hearing this, Li Changsheng frowned and suddenly felt a vague threat.

Then he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The sunset is beautiful, but there is an indescribable sense of solemnity in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a ray of black light, like a dark ghost suddenly emerging from an endless abyss, shot down from the sky at lightning speed.

The speed of this black light was so fast that it exceeded the limit of what Li Changsheng could capture, and even time and space seemed to be solidified.

It was silent, but with a heart-pounding power, it instantly enveloped Li Changsheng who was looking up at the sky.

Li Changsheng tried to dodge immediately, but the black light was too fast and he couldn't avoid it completely.

puff!
The black light penetrated his chest, and Li Changsheng could see clearly that it was a sword transformed from sword energy.

puff~
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Li Changsheng slowly fell down.

"I won!"

Chu Zhao had a smile on his face, but then his eyes went dark and he fell down.

When he woke up, it was three days later.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a face full of worry. A very beautiful face, but a pair of gentle and soft eyes were full of joy.

"You're awake, are you okay?"

Looking at Yueyao with a worried look on her face, Chu Zhao was a little surprised. His voice was extremely dry and his tone was very weak.

"How did you come?"

Yue Yao hurriedly brought the medicine over, helped Chu Zhao up and fed him the medicine, while saying, "Drink the medicine first, and then we'll talk."

After taking a bowl of medicine and moistening my throat, my voice became noticeably clearer.

"I'm fine, you go and rest first, I'll heal my wounds."

Chu Zhao said this, sat up cross-legged, and then closed his eyes and practiced internal energy to heal his wounds.

He was seriously injured in this battle.

Especially the last sword attack on Li Changsheng, which made his injuries even worse. Now his entire lower dantian is broken.

If the Heaven and Earth Furnace Sutra was not truly magical and had the ability to repair itself, not only would he be dead for sure, but he would also have no chance of waking up now.

When he opened his eyes again, it was late at night and Yueyao was asleep on the bed.

After carrying his wife to bed, Chu Zhao went out to inquire about the situation and then called the generals in the army.

"Who can tell me why we haven't captured Qiandong City yet?"

Everyone could hear the anger in Chu Zhao's tone.

Yes, Chu Zhao was very angry.

Although they had only 50,000 men attacking the city, they completely crushed the Pofeng Army defending the city in every way and were able to take down Qiandong City in three days.

In the end, they didn't do anything?!

The generals remained silent, and Li Yi pushed Li Junxin out.

Li Junxin turned around and glared at him, took out a letter and put it on the table, and replied: "Your Majesty, the day after you fell into a coma, Li Changsheng..."

"Wait a minute." Chu Zhao interrupted, "You said Li Changsheng is not dead?"

"No."

Chu Zhao immediately became furious: "If I remember correctly, he fainted before me. Why didn't you kill him?"

"This..." Li Junxin was a little embarrassed.

"Say!"

Chu Zhao spat out a word coldly and couldn't help coughing again.

"At that time, Mr. Gu stopped us, and the masters from Beili came to rescue us. We had no other options." Li Junxin explained weakly.

Chu Zhao was stunned, not because Gu Chen tried to stop him, but because the voice of the system sounded in his mind.

[Host, please note that your main mission is to become the best in the world. ]

The system suddenly spoke, which was obviously related to his mention of asking Li Junxin and others to kill Li Changsheng.

So Chu Zhao asked in his heart: "What does this have to do with me asking them to kill Li Changsheng?"

[Li Changsheng is the best in the world. The host can only complete the main mission by defeating him.]

"Li Changsheng is the best in the world?"

Chu Zhao said he was a little confused.

How can Li Changsheng be the best in the world?
Su Baiyi, Su Suomo and the like, aren’t these old guys more powerful than Li Changsheng?

[In this world, Li Changsheng is the ceiling of combat power. ]

"Then haven't I completed the main mission now? I have defeated Li Changsheng." Chu Zhao became more and more confused.

He fell down after Li Changsheng, which meant that he had defeated Li Changsheng in the battle three days ago. [Host, you defeated Nangong Chunshui, not Li Changsheng. Please keep up the good work, host!]

"Fuck, isn't Nangong Chunshui Li Changsheng?"

The system is silent.

Chu Zhaoren was confused, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and understand the system's meaning.

Simply put, the current Nangong Chunshui is not the Li Changsheng in his prime. Only by defeating the peak Li Changsheng can the main task of the system be completed.

Come to think of it, even though I used all my strength this time, I still couldn't beat Li Changsheng... It's really embarrassing!

Nangong Chunshui already has strength above the Shenyou level, so how strong would Li Changsheng be at his peak?

"Damn it!"

Chu Zhao cursed and said, "Forget it, if he didn't kill him, then he didn't kill him. But why did Li Changsheng come to our military camp?"

"First, I came to say goodbye to Mr. Gu, and second, I came to deliver a letter to you on behalf of Baili Luochen. It happened that the Queen was there at the time and she agreed to Baili Luochen's proposal, so we did not attack the city." Li Junxin replied.

Chu Zhao didn't say anything and just took out the letter and started reading.

The general meaning is that if Chu Zhao lets go of the ordinary people in the city, he, Baili Luochen, will personally lead his army to fight a decisive battle in the field with the Chu army in seven days, and he will pay him with his life regardless of winning or losing.

"Do you also agree with Baili Luochen's proposal?"

"Your Majesty, massacring a city is always against the harmony of nature." Li Junxin replied, implying that they actually agreed, otherwise even if Yue Yao was the queen, she could not stop them from carrying out Chu Zhao's order to massacre the city.

"Okay, since you all agree, then select 50,000 people." Chu Zhao calculated the date and finally said, "On the 18th of this month, we will have a field battle with the Pofeng Army outside Qiandong City. I will lead the troops myself!"

Four days passed in a flash.

Chu State, the third year of Kaiyuan, the eighteenth day of the winter month.

As the heavy snow spread, the noises of all sizes caused by the fighting between the two armies shook the whole place.

As soon as the 50,000-strong army led by Chu Zhao met the 30,000-strong Pofeng army led by Baili Luochen, a fierce battle ensued.

Because the 50,000 troops selected by the Chu State were all former citizens of Western Chu, they had absolute hatred for Baili Luochen and the Pofeng Army who destroyed Western Chu.

This hatred made them go crazy and they slaughtered the Pofeng Army without mercy.

Coupled with the improved medicine man technique and the crushing military equipment, the battlefields of all sizes outside Qiandong City were one-sided.

But even in such a one-sided situation, every soldier of the Pofeng Army remained fearless and unafraid of death.

Qiandong City, outside the main gate.

A figure, like a giant blood-colored dragon, directly pierced through the formation of the Pofeng Army.

The iron sword in his hand was as fast as lightning and indestructible.

Heavy shields, chariots, military formations...no one could match him, and he destroyed them all with one sword.

Chu Zhao rushed forward recklessly, and Baili Luochen's personal soldiers and secret guards rushed forward without regard for their own lives, and then they were all killed by him in a few breaths.

Finally, Chu Zhao arrived in front of Baili Luo Chen with a sword.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

tick...

Drops of blood fell from Chu Zhao's body. As his injuries had not yet healed, he was unable to use his full strength. His internal energy was severely depleted and he had no way of using it to block the blood that was spurting out along the way. As a result, his entire body was stained red with blood.

At this moment, Chu Zhao was like a Shura on earth, except for the iron sword in his hand, which was still free of blood and as clear as a stream!
"Baili Luochen, it's really not easy to see you on this battlefield." A playful smile appeared on Chu Zhao's face. Against the backdrop of the blood all over his body, the smile looked extremely evil.

The secret guards around Baili Luochen rushed over, but Chu Zhao did not make a move. They were entangled by Li Junxin, Yue Yao and others who arrived later.

"He who kills will be killed! I have fought on the battlefield for decades and have long seen through this. However, Your Majesty is seriously injured now. It is not so easy for him to kill me for revenge."

Baili Luochen drew his sword, exuding a dignified aura.

"grandfather!"

Baili Dongjun shouted loudly and forced back the young general Chu Yun'an, Luoxue's brother, who was trying to stop him, and then he came to Baili Luochen's side.

Chu Zhao ignored Baili Dongjun and stared at Baili Luochen as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Baili Luochen, you have breached the contract."

Baili Luochen nodded and said seriously: "The people in the city are innocent."

"Then the people of Western Chu are all innocent?"

Baili Luochen was speechless.

"Chu Zhao, my grandfather is old and he doesn't have many years to live. Can't you let him go?" Baili Dongjun yelled.

"Then why didn't your grandfather want to let my father, my mother, my brother, and my eldest sister go?"

Baili Dongjun took a step forward, but was pulled back by Baili Luochen. He shook his head and said to Chu Zhao, "Emperor Chu, can't you let the people of Qiandong City go?"

"cannot!"

Before he finished speaking, Yue Yao, covered in blood, came to his side and said, "Lord Baili, my husband will not attack the people of Qiandong City, so you can go with peace of mind."

"Sister Yueyao, are you going to kill my grandfather too?" Baili Dongjun asked in pain.

"Your grandfather and I have no grudges, but my husband and your grandfather are at loggerheads, and the grudge must be resolved." Yue Yao said calmly, "Bai Li Dong Jun, you should learn more from Sister Luo Yu, and you shouldn't have come."

The way Sister Luoyu called out... made Baili Dongjun feel extremely bitter.

Chu Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Baili Dongjun who was still in love on the battlefield, and said indifferently: "Baili Luochen, don't say I didn't give you a chance, make a move!"

"kill!"

Baili Luochen roared, and his body suddenly grew taller, then he chopped down on the head with a knife.

At this moment, his strength actually reached...Da Xiaoyao? !
The Self-Sacrifice Technique and the Sword-Care Technique are not considered to be very advanced skills, but some people still practice them for decades.

When Baili Dongjun saw this scene, he suddenly remembered something.

That is, since he could remember, he had never seen his grandfather draw out the Buddhist sword that was said to have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people.

At best, he'd spank his dad with a scabbard.

This knife chops down, and I'm willing to die!
It is a true sword of mutual death. I will sacrifice my life in exchange for your death!
Fortunately, Baili Luochen's talent in martial arts is not that high.

With the strength at the peak of freedom, he cultivated the sword for decades, and threw away his life-long cultivation to make a single strike, which was nothing more than Da Xiaoyao.

Chu Zhao has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he has consumed too much energy today. The strength he can exert now is only about that of Da Xiaoyao.

However, his great freedom is not comparable to ordinary freedom.

As early as three years ago, he was able to fight against Half-Step Divine Wandering with the strength of Great Freedom. Now, it would be no problem for him to take the knife and kill Baili Luochen at the same time.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, and just as the swords were about to collide, a figure rushed in.

It is Li fire.

This sudden change made Chu Zhao and Baili Luochen both stunned.

Chu Zhao withdrew his hand in time, but Baili Luochen couldn't stop and slashed Li Huo with a knife.

"My Lord, I will repay you for saving my life today!"

Li Huo was lying on the ground, blood pouring out of his body and mouth like it was free: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry...I have failed you..."

Chu Zhao shook his head and interrupted, "I will take good care of your wife and children."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The voice stopped abruptly and Li Huo died of suffocation!
Baili Luochen glanced at Lihuo and sighed: "Dongjun, today is the grudge between me and Xichu. The grudges of the past are over today, so you must not bear a grudge."

After saying that, Baili Luochen raised his knife and slashed towards Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao raised his hand and swung his sword.

brush!
A clear line of snow flashed by.

Baili Luochen's head flew high in an instant, rolled continuously in the air, and finally fell down.

Then, a hand grabbed his hair and lifted him up.

Chu Zhao held up Baili Luochen's head, which was still open-eyed, and said calmly, "Baili Luochen, you can die on the battlefield with your eyes closed. At least you are stronger than your sworn brother Ye Yu, right?"

After saying that, Chu Zhao threw the head to Baili Dongjun who was standing there in a daze.
