Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 441 The Mantis Meets the Oriole: A Powerful Figure from Beyond the Realm Dies by Ambush

Zhu Jinzhen showed no mercy with this sword strike.

It truly is a sword aura that stretches across 30,000 miles, a single sword's light chilling 19 provinces.

A massive sword mark, stretching tens of thousands of miles, was torn open in the sky above the outer realms. It hung high in the heavens, and all the powerful beings from the outer realms who had come to pursue them, except for a few, were all cut into blood mist.

Zhu Jinzhen had no time to be happy and continued his frantic escape.

"Is this an extraterrestrial world?"

"What the hell is this, some kind of immortal realm, demon realm, or fantasy world?"

Zhu Jinzhen glanced back just now and his scalp tingled at what he saw. Not only was there that terrifying being with eyes like the sun and moon, but when he slashed out with his sword, he vaguely saw many figures on the other side of the void that were no weaker than that terrifying being. There even seemed to be a monkey holding a stick, rushing towards his position at a speed he could not imagine.

It was only at this moment that Zhu Jinzhen realized just how vast this extraterrestrial world truly was.

The place where he had just fought for half a day, covering tens of thousands of miles, was still just a tiny, insignificant grain of sand on the tip of the iceberg of this world.

If this world were to be compared to the Ming Dynasty, the place where he fought for half a day would probably be equivalent to a backward little village.

His outburst attracted the attention and malice of powerful figures from even larger parts of the world.

"Can't afford to offend them, farewell!"

Zhu Jinzhen ran even faster. He finally understood why Su Xinghe of this world had died in battle beyond the realm. He knew the waters beyond the realm were deep, but he never imagined that beneath a small puddle lay not a vast ocean, but an infinite starry sky leading directly beyond the planet!

As for the various ideas that flashed through my mind when I turned to run away, such as using the power of the Ming Dynasty and all its people to suddenly release the nine-headed dragon of the Heavenly Chariot to kill the other party, etc.

Now all of this has been completely forgotten by Zhu Jinzhen.

We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them.

One breath, two breaths.

Just as Zhu Jinzhen had one foot out of the outer world and was about to return to Zongwu, a voice came from behind him that almost froze his blood.

"Young friend, you've caused quite a scene, and you think you can just leave like this?"

The sound was very close, right next to me.

Zhu Jinzhen suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Of course not, I'm also planning to pack another takeout order to be delivered to my door."

"takeout?"

The man was clearly taken aback and didn't understand what he meant.

But the next moment, he suddenly discovered something terrifying. A real dragon had appeared above his head, and the terrifying dragon had already opened its bloody maw at him, giving him no chance to react or resist, and swallowed him whole.

"You can deceive my sword intent perception, but you can't deceive my imperial aura observation."

"idiot."

Zhu Jinzhen curled his lips. He was running away, but what he was afraid of was not one or two experts in this world. Rather, he sensed danger and was afraid of being attacked by a group of people. Before he had figured out the true nature of this world, he dared not take risks easily out of caution.

Are there really any fools who think they can bully him?

“That mother of his…”

Before the opponent could even howl, only managing to utter a curse, he was swallowed like a snack by a true dragon from the Sky-Patrolling Dragon Chariot. Then, Zhu Jinzhen grabbed the dragon's whiskers and rushed out of the outer world.

Perhaps it was out of fear of the true dragon that would ultimately lead the celestial procession, or perhaps for some other reason.

After Zhu Jinzhen re-entered the Martial World, the surging waves behind him and the prying eyes instantly diminished by 99%, leaving only a few gazes still looking towards him through the world. "That little thing is really too insidious."

"The last real dragon that appeared was no match for you or me, not even that monkey or that black dragon. It even pretended to be so weak and fled in panic. Luckily, that old bastard Xu Yue was greedy and self-righteous, otherwise, who knows how many people would have been killed by him."

"Let's disperse, that place is not easy to get into."

"The glory of the gods has long since faded; could the ancient gods still be slumbering there?"

"Even the black dragon, who prides himself on being the heavens, has been crippled here, with half of his body cut off and stewed in a pot. Do you really think those mortals can handle him? Don't even think about it. If we rashly enter, our fate will only be worse."

"No, you'll be in a worse situation. At worst, we'll just die."

"Absolutely! It's an elixir of immortality, a ginseng that has become a spirit! If I were to swallow you..."

"If you want to die, feel free to try."

"Stop arguing. The power of that special rule that one obtained from beyond this world has caused a huge distortion of the rules in a large area near that world. If we could introduce that strange rule into that world..."

"Perhaps we are not necessarily unable to overcome the taboos set forth by the ancient gods..."

Zhu Jinzhen could no longer hear the sounds behind him, whether because the rift in the martial arts world had closed again or because those people didn't want him to hear them.

But Zhu Jinzhen had already obtained enough information, so much so that it gave him a huge headache.

……

Penglai Fairy Island.

Zhu Jinzhen reappeared carrying the unconscious Li Changsheng and Qingfeng Daoren, immediately alerting Mo Yi. Only after confirming that it was Zhu Jinzhen and not an extraterrestrial immortal in disguise did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Sir, who are my master and Mr. Li here?"

"They were all stunned by the experts from beyond the realm. Their injuries aren't too serious; they'll recover after a period of recuperation," Zhu Jinzhen said, casually tossing Li Changsheng into the bamboo pavilion next to Mo Yi before looking at Qingfeng Daoist with a complicated expression.

This scene made Mo Yi's heart pound wildly.

Zhu Jinzhen seemed to sense Mo Yi's nervousness and shook his head with a smile, saying, "Don't be nervous, your master isn't going to die yet."

"That……"

Zhu Jinzhen knew exactly what Mo Yi wanted to ask, so he simply said it all at once:
"For now, there's no need to worry about things outside our borders."

"Your master's foundation was already damaged, and the injuries he suffered when he forcibly entered that world were much more severe than Li Changsheng's. Even if he survives, his cultivation level will be at its limit in three to five years."

"So be it, whether it's for the sake of the common people or to lend a helping hand."

"Your master's injuries worsened, which was indeed caused by me."

"Let's grant him a share of good fortune."

After saying that, Zhu Jinzhen raised his knife and slapped Qingfeng Daoren's head into his chest cavity.

"you……"

Mo Yi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The green bamboo sword flew into his hand in an instant, and the aura of the Land Celestial surged. He was about to make a move. Even though he knew he was no match for Zhu Jinzhen, and even though he knew that he might die if he made a move, he would never give up easily.

When he was young, Mo Yi was left to wander the streets after his sister died. It was Qingfeng Daoren who met him, took him back to the mountain gate and taught him carefully. He was truly indebted to Mo Yi.

Now that his master has been killed before his eyes, how can Mo Yi remain calm?
