Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 253 Yuwen Huaji: When did this tyrant become so majestic?

Yuwen Huaji's face turned icy blue, as if the chill had reached its peak. He unleashed a powerful punch, its force like a tidal wave, forcefully blasting the white ape away.

At this moment, Yuwen Huaji exerted all his strength, causing the white ape to be somewhat disheveled. Its massive body crashed through the artificial mountain, and ice crystals condensed on its fur.

A chill swept through my body.

At this moment, the imperial guards rushed to the front of the palace, about to step inside.

The next moment, all the guards froze on the spot.

"Go back."

A casual, indifferent shout sent a shiver down the spines of the imperial guards, who immediately parted to make way and knelt in salute.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The imperial guards made way, all kneeling and bowing their heads, not daring to look at Xu Qing who was walking out of the palace.

It was simply because Xu Qing was too imposing, even though he had no expression.

But the mere act of walking out was enough to make all the guards present unable to look directly at him, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.

Yuwen Huaji was also stunned by this imposing presence!
When did this tyrannical ruler acquire such authority?!

He was greatly shocked; an unprecedented sense of oppression almost overwhelmed his mind.

The white ape burst out from the artificial hill and was blasted away by Yuwen Huaji's punch. It was not injured, but it was very dissatisfied and wanted to attack Yuwen Huaji again.

"Alright, Little White, come back."

Xu Qing spoke up, stopping the white ape.

Upon hearing Xu Qing's command, the white ape immediately stopped moving and returned to Xu Qing's side in a flash.

Its imposing size made the guards swallow hard, creating a sense of oppression.

But what surprised them even more was the name their emperor gave to this strange beast.

noob?

It's so tall, standing here like a city wall, yet it's called Little White.

This feels so out of place, it's quite surprising!
Yuwen Huaji was also greatly shocked, never expecting that this strange beast belonged to a tyrannical ruler.

And they obeyed the orders of this tyrannical ruler so readily!

What exactly is going on!

How could a tyrannical ruler possibly subdue such a strange beast?
At this moment, Yuwen Huaji was filled with doubt, but he suppressed his thoughts, slightly straightened his disheveled clothes, and stepped forward to kneel in a gesture of respect:
"Your subject Yuwen Huaji greets Your Majesty!"

Xu Qing was dressed in black casual clothes, not in imperial robes, but his imposing presence was still very strong.

His eyes were cold as he stared indifferently at Yuwen Huaji before him.

Yuwen Huaji was tall and thin with an ancient and weathered face. He was ruthless and merciless in front of outsiders, but he dared not be arrogant in front of Xu Qing.

Yuwen Huaji felt Xu Qing's gaze fall on him, and his soul trembled uncontrollably.

How could I possibly feel fear towards this tyrannical ruler?!
This is unprecedented!
You should know that he desperately wanted to kill Yang Guang, restore the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and re-establish the dynasty.

In the past, he had only outwardly shown reverence for Yang Guang, but now his soul was reacting in this way.

Could it be that I've gotten too caught up in my roles all these years?

Do not!
wrong!

Yuwen Huaji shook his head inwardly; it couldn't be that way.

Who is he? The number one expert in the Yuwen family. Even when facing a Grandmaster, he has the courage to throw a punch.

How could they possibly be intimidated by the majesty of the tyrannical Emperor Yang Guang!

In the past, Yang Guang would not have been able to do this, but things are different now.

The Yang Guang before me has changed; he is now Xu Qing.

He was invincible for two lifetimes, and could even decide the position of the supreme ruler of the world at will.

His cultivation level has reached the Grandmaster realm, with his physical body, true essence, divine soul, and mind advancing simultaneously across the four heavenly gates, leaving him without any weaknesses!

Let alone a powerful figure like Yuwen Huaji, who was at the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Even the three most renowned grandmasters in the martial arts world would show solemn expressions when they encountered Xu Qing.

In this world, only grandmasters who are close to the level of breaking through the void can remain unmoved when facing Xu Qing.

Xu Qing observed Yuwen Huaji for a long time and was very clear about the Yuwen clan and this man's previous attitude towards Yang Guang.

The Yuwen Clan—no, it should be said that the four great clans of the world—are all extremely ambitious and want to seize control of the world.

In the original historical trajectory, the Li family ultimately succeeded.

But now, that's not necessarily true!
"Yuwen Huaji, do you know your crime?"

Xu Qing spoke slowly, his voice like a sacred sound, calm yet full of pressure, reaching deep into Yuwen Huaji's soul, causing his spirit to tremble violently.

Yuwen Huaji suddenly lowered his head and kowtowed forcefully, saying, "Your Majesty, I know my crime!"

"But I sensed a sharp and powerful unfamiliar aura in Your Majesty's palace, and worried about Your Majesty's safety, so I boldly used the method of transmitting sound with true qi to disturb Your Majesty!"

Yuwen Huaji explained that he had indeed disturbed the emperor, but he did so out of concern for the emperor's safety.

This is reasonable and well-founded, and Yang Guang would have no reason to punish him.

"In that case, I should thank you." Xu Qing's eyes were cold and deep, and his voice was flat, making the atmosphere in the room extremely oppressive.

None of the guards dared to speak, and they are still kneeling and bowing to this day, not daring to make any rash moves.

"I dare not claim credit; this is my duty," Yuwen Huaji said, bowing his head.

Xu Qing gave the other person a deep look, and after a long while, turned around and stepped into the palace again.

The white ape followed closely behind.

"Come in with me."

Xu Qing's voice slowly faded.

Yuwen Huaji then slowly raised his head, but Xu Qing was no longer there.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his back unknowingly becoming soaked with sweat.

Yuwen Huaji wiped the cold sweat from his face, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly composed himself.

He straightened up, straightened his clothes, stepped over the threshold, and went inside.

Those guards, without receiving an imperial decree, were required to remain kneeling and in the same position.

But no one had any objections; everyone felt that this was how it should be.

The palace was very large and magnificent, resplendent in gold and jade.

Inside the hall, Xu Qing sat on the imperial throne, while a white ape stood beside him like a guardian beast, its sharp eyes fixed on Yuwen Huaji as he entered.

It still harbors hostility towards Yuwen Huaji, and it's clear that the battle with the white ape just now was not satisfying.

It wanted to defeat Yuwen Huaji, after all, it had failed to do what its master had entrusted to it.

Xu Qing's previous instruction was to teach Yuwen Huaji a lesson, but the white ape failed to do so.

It held a grudge about this.

The experts in this new world are indeed very powerful, far stronger than the innate grandmasters of the original world!

The white ape also acknowledged this.

After all, even before it had fully refined its internal organs in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, it was still able to fight against experts at the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Now, after a full century of perfecting his internal organs, he still hasn't been able to defeat Yuwen Huaji.

It is conceivable that Yuwen Huaji's combat power is stronger than that of the innate grandmasters in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!

He is no ordinary grandmaster!

Yuwen Huaji also sensed the white ape's hostility. He was wary, realizing that this strange beast was no ordinary creature.

Their origins are even more mysterious, and it's unknown why they obey this tyrannical ruler!
"Did you manage to catch that woman?"

Xu Qing spoke, referring to a woman named Fu Junzhuo, who was from Goryeo.

Her identity is not simple; she is a female swordsman trained by Fu Chae-rim, a master of Goryeo martial arts.

Some time ago, Yang Guang was assassinated.

He did not succeed, but he escaped thanks to his considerable martial arts skills.

Assassinating a monarch is an extremely serious crime.

Yang Guang entrusted the task of capturing Yuwen Huaji.

The order was given to capture him alive.

As for why they weren't executed immediately, but captured alive...

There are, of course, many reasons.

Fu Junzhuo was extremely beautiful, a rare beauty in the world.

Emperor Yang Guang loved beautiful women and wanted to bring one into the palace.

This is one of them.

Secondly, it was for the "Longevity Manual" on Fu Junzhuo's body!
The Longevity Manual is a supreme treasure of the martial arts world. All martial artists desire to obtain this martial art, to unravel its mysteries, and to reach the realm of breaking through the void!

It is even rumored that this martial art can grant immortality.

Immortality is a tremendous temptation for most people, especially emperors.

Throughout history, countless powerful rulers and emperors have sought immortality and eternal control over the world.

Yang Guang was no exception and could not escape the common practice.

Yuwen Huaji bowed slightly and said, "I have already laid a net that will not let Fu Junzhuo escape, even if she had wings!"

"So after all this time, you still haven't managed to catch it?!"

Xu Qing's voice was extremely cold, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with Yuwen Huaji's inefficiency.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
