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

Chapter 481 The Battle Between the Celestials and the Mortals
The Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Jinzhen looked up at the distance and a faint sneer appeared on his lips.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Changsun Wangqing asked curiously.

“Zhao Min is in trouble. The sword intent stored in that Heavenly Sword failed to help her quickly kill the enemy, and now the enemy has come knocking on her door.” Zhu Jinzhen said, his expression somewhat strange. “Moreover, the other party is very arrogant and is not afraid of Zhao Min’s intimidation. Instead, he specifically asked me to go in person.”

Should Zhu Jinzhen go in person?

Changsun Wangqing's beautiful eyes widened instantly, a hint of bewilderment on her stunning face.

I can't help but wonder, what exactly is the origin of these Northern Barbarians from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, that they are so brave?
Let alone the terrestrial celestial realm, even when Zhu Jinzhen encountered celestial beings descending to the mortal realm during the Jingnan Rebellion, he traversed countless mountains and rivers, ascended to Penglai, and personally ventured into the outer realms to wreak havoc. He was able to calmly deal with the numerous extraterrestrial demons and peerless immortals he encountered.

How dare this so-called expert from the Northern Barbarians challenge Zhu Jinzhen to personally engage in battle?
Aren't you afraid of being pinned down and killed from thousands of miles away?

Others may not know the extent of Zhu Jinzhen's power, but as Zhu Jinzhen's bedmate and the woman he trusted most, Changsun Wangqing knew it all too well.

This was before Zhu Jinzhen went into seclusion. Even Changsun Wangqing couldn't fathom the heights Zhu Jinzhen had reached after his seclusion. She only knew that when Zhu Jinzhen was chatting with her before, he had casually mentioned that if he were to conquer the outer realms again, he could slap those so-called enemies to death with one hand.

This shows just how powerful Zhu Jinzhen is now.

Changsun Wangqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then, Your Majesty, will you accept this battle?"

"I have so many secret guards, and Xueyang is over there. If I have to personally handle such a trivial matter, what use are they?"

Zhu Jinzhen rolled his eyes. How bored must he be to accept an ant's request to fight?

"What's more..."

“Even if Xueyang doesn’t make a move, if Zhao Min is in danger, the sword intent stored in that short sword is enough to kill him, who is only halfway out of the mortal realm.”

Changsun Wangqing was not particularly surprised when he heard this.

She was present when the sword intent that celestial sword originally resided was stored there, and she knew clearly where the true limit of its power lay.

To put it bluntly, even those immortals who descended to the mortal realm outside the capital last time, who were beyond the reach of celestial beings, could only perish when faced with the true essence of swordsmanship that Zhu Jinzhen had stored within the Heavenly Sword.

Moreover, as Zhu Jinzhen established his dynasty, his methods became increasingly unfathomable. Changsun Wangqing could not be certain whether the true essence of swordsmanship within that Heavenly Sword would increase as Zhu Jinzhen grew stronger.

If that's the case, then let alone a mere visitor from heaven.

Even if it were the same scene of all the immortals gathering as last time, when Zhao Min was at her wit's end, the Heavenly Sword would still slay all the enemies.

"Xueyang is also quick."

"Yes, she's the closest, she can't possibly remain indifferent."

Changsun Wangqing and Zhu Jinzhen exchanged a glance, and then stopped paying attention to the situation of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

Now that Cao Xueyang has gone in person, the situation on the Mongol side is completely worry-free, and it is impossible for him to cause any more trouble.

……

Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Dadu.

The fierce battle between the purple-robed man and the secret guards continued.

"Hey!"

The purple lightning blade ripped through the sky, even leaving huge slash marks in space. The secret guards couldn't dodge in time and could only use their Moon Gazing Spears to block the earth-shattering strike.

"clang!"

The clash of metal sparks a dazzling display of power.

The blade that cleaved heaven and earth dodged to the side in the blink of an eye, but still managed to slash her cheek, blood flowing. The guard's eyes grew colder and more ruthless. He then kicked the tip of the Moon Gazing Spear with his back leg, and with a Taigong Fishing Style spear thrust, he also slashed the purple-robed woman's chest and cheek.

"Oh!"

The two attacked swiftly and fiercely, neither giving an inch, and clashed violently once again.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Zhao Min and the others, as well as the experts and common people of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, had a more direct experience of the power of the celestial beings on land.

Every collision in the heavens unleashed countless raging waves of energy. Blade energy crisscrossed the heavens and earth, and spear light pierced the sky. Even the slightest aftershock was a weight that even a terrestrial immortal would find difficult to bear.

The two men clashed only a few times, yet thousands of houses and dwellings in the capital collapsed.

It was ravaged and left in a mess.

puff!puff!puff!
Some who couldn't dodge in time were either severely injured or coughing up blood, but the vast majority died on the spot before they could even scream. Even the Celestial Realm experts hidden within the capital were caught in the crossfire; a single shard of blade energy would leave them instantly covered in blood.

This was only after Zhao Min and others had taken remedial measures and intervened repeatedly to stop it.

"Pfft, cough!"

"Is the gap so huge?"

"This is terrifying! What level of experts are fighting like that? Even the Grand Master and his ilk back then probably didn't have even a third of the power they have today!"

"It didn't look like humans fighting, but rather like immortals and Buddhas battling."

"I am a Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, capable of exchanging blows even with a Land Immortal. It is highly unlikely that a mere aftershock of a blade's energy would nearly kill me. Those two are at least at the legendary Land Celestial Realm!"

All the experts in the capital had expressions of disbelief on their faces and eyes filled with terror. It was just the aftershock of a collision; anyone below the Celestial Phenomenon level would be instantly and severely injured upon encountering it.

This refers to the grandmasters of the Xuan Realm.

Below the level of the Finger Profound, even a few scattered wisps of energy can kill the opponent.

They simply couldn't imagine what level of power this was, to cause such immense destruction and devastation; it was practically indistinguishable from the legendary immortals and gods.

Bang! !

Hua Zheng crushed several blades of energy flying towards him with her bare hands. Although she was a terrestrial immortal, the aftershocks of this level of battle posed no threat to her. It was more than enough to protect herself and Kasli.

"Is this the power of a celestial being on land?"

That kind of battle that transcends the heavens, a mighty force like that of gods in battle.

This was far beyond Kasri's imagination.

The two fought as they retreated, battling from the skies above Dadu to the ground, and then from the ground back to outside Dadu.

The purple-robed man was enraged, his sword strikes unleashing a torrent of energy. With all his might, he slashed the sky with more than a dozen sword marks that stretched for hundreds of feet, lingering for a long time. His determination to completely annihilate the secret guards was evident.

However, the secret guards who appeared were no pushovers either. Their Tian Ce spear technique was honed through countless battles, and they could always find his weaknesses or force him to change his tactics by confronting him head-on.

"Boom."

In another clash, the purple-robed man seized the moment when the secret guard's spear shot slowed down, and with a sudden punch from his left hand, he slammed the secret guard into the mountain, causing birds and beasts to scatter and kicking up dust several feet high.

"Little girl, you are indeed very strong, managing to fight me until now."

"But this is the end!"

"Let this be your burial place!"

The purple-robed man stood proudly in the void, letting out a triumphant roar. His black hair danced in the wind, and his killing intent filled the sky. He once again gathered the vast primordial energy from dozens of miles around him, intending to completely bury the secret guards.

"puff!"

On the ground, the secret guard was embedded in the ground, spitting out blood. His mask shattered, revealing a delicate and pretty face: "As expected, although he has not completely surpassed the Celestial, the difference in strength is still obvious. Even if I tried my best, I still couldn't kill that guy directly."

In the previous battle, the Secret Guard had already used all their strength.

But for the woman in purple robes, no matter how sharp her spear was or how powerful her attacks were, it seemed to be slightly lacking.
