The man sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Just you?"

He sneered, "Ku He, do you think you can stop me? Let me tell you, none of you will escape today!"

As he spoke, he suddenly made a move, and a sharp palm wind struck towards Ku He.

Ku He was taken aback and quickly used all his strength to defend himself.

With a loud bang, the two men's palms collided in mid-air, creating a strong gust of air.

Ku He was shaken and staggered backward, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He stared wide-eyed at the man before him in disbelief.

"You...you are so powerful!" Ku He exclaimed in shock.

He originally thought he was one of the strongest people in the world, but he never expected that his opponent would also possess such terrifying strength.

The man sneered, "Hehehe, this is powerful? I've only used 30% of my strength."

Now, do you still think you can stop me?

After saying that, he attacked again, this time with even greater power than before.

Kuhe fought desperately, but gradually found herself at a disadvantage.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky and came to the side of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi.

This man was none other than Shen Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

When the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

She knew that Shen Zhong had always been loyal to her, and now he was even risking his life to save her.

"Commander Shen, hurry up and leave! You are no match for him," the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi said anxiously.

Shen Zhong smiled slightly and said, "Empress Dowager, as long as I am here, I will never allow anyone to harm you."

After saying that, Shen Zhong drew his sword and stepped forward. At this time, Ku He's strength was beginning to give out, and he had already suffered a serious injury.

The heavy sword slashed towards Gongzi Yu like lightning, but Gongzi Yu's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he sneered:

"Even ants dare to come and die."

He gently raised his palm, and a powerful force instantly gathered within it.

With a loud bang, Gongzi Yu's palm strike collided with Shen Zhong's sword energy, generating a tremendous impact.

However, this force far exceeded Shen Zhong's ability to withstand it. His body was instantly shattered by Gongzi Yu's palm strike, with flesh and blood flying everywhere and limbs and fragments scattering in all directions.

Bright red blood splattered on the civil and military officials around them, who were already terrified, and were now even more horrified.

Many people fainted on the spot, while other survivors retreated until they felt safe against the wall.

The Empress Dowager witnessed Shen Zhong's tragic death, and her heart was filled with sorrow and despair.

She knew perfectly well that if this continued, Grandmaster Kuhe would be in mortal danger.

She looked anxiously at Zhan Doudou, her eyes filled with worry.

Zhan Doudou also realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted loudly without hesitation:

"I am willing to hand over the tiger tally and the gold medal to you."

Upon hearing this, Ku He was shocked. What this person wanted was the Tiger Tally and the Gold Medal, which could mobilize the entire army in the capital!

Then Kuhe stared intently at Gongzi Yu, his face turning gloomy.

He asked angrily:

"What do you want to do with the tiger tally and the gold medal?" The tone was filled with deep suspicion and vigilance.

Gongzi Yu glanced at Ku He coldly after hearing his words and said in a chilling tone:

What I want to do is none of your business.

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Ku He's sight.

Ku He was startled and immediately assumed a defensive stance, but he did not sense Gongzi Yu's presence.

However, at that moment, a cold voice came from behind Ku He: "Did you think that was my full strength just now?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ku He immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Technique and then turned around to strike out with his palm.

The two palms collided.

With a loud bang, Kuhe was blasted away by a powerful force, flying directly out of the Chaotian Hall and rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Just as Ku He was sent flying, Zhan Doudou and the Empress Dowager, sitting in the court, exclaimed in unison:

"Grandmaster Kuhe!" Their faces were full of worry, clearly concerned about Kuhe's safety.

After all, their last hope rested on Grandmaster Ku He. If he also died, then Northern Qi would have no chance at all!

Just as the two were worried about Kuhe, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The figure was somewhat hunched over and walked with a slight limp, but his appearance made the whole atmosphere unusually tense.

"You two should just cooperate with us obediently!"

Our Azure Dragon Society has dispatched four Grandmasters to your Northern Qi Imperial Palace this time.

The weakest of them wouldn't be any weaker than Ku He from your Northern Qi.

The hunchbacked old man spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, as if carrying an irresistible force.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou and the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi felt their hearts sink to the bottom, filled with endless despair.

They knew the old man wasn't lying, because just now, when Ku He went out to fight Li Chengtian's two guards, the two men quietly appeared in the main hall.

Haitang Duoduo and Lang Tao, who came to protect him, were severely injured by this old man with a single palm strike and have been unconscious ever since.

Outside the main hall, Ku He coughed up blood, his face pale, clearly severely injured. He struggled to his feet and slowly stood up.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands, his eyes scanning his surroundings with a solemn expression.

Everywhere you looked, there were corpses of Imperial Guards, their blood staining the ground red, and the stench of blood permeated the air.

call out!

call out!

call out!

Gongzi Yu moved with astonishing speed, arriving at a distance of not far from Kuhe in an instant.

His figure is like a ghost, making it difficult to predict.

Just then, Bai Yunxuan arrived at Gongzi Yu's side at an extremely fast speed.

"The Great Dragon Head,"

Bai Yunxuan respectfully reported, "We now have complete control of the four city gates of Shangjing, and everything happening inside Shangjing has been completely sealed off."

"No news will get out of the city. As long as we get the tiger tally and the gold token, we can leave our master with the capital intact."

Upon hearing this news, Ku He's heart sank.

He had originally thought that he could hold out for a while with the strong defenses of the capital and the strength of the Imperial Guard, but now it seemed that the enemy's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Ku He's face turned extremely ugly. He simply couldn't imagine that in just a few years of seclusion, so many grandmasters had emerged in the world.

Moreover, their strength was astounding. Faced with this situation, Ku He felt unprecedented pressure and fear.

Just as Kuhe was gripped by fear, a whooshing sound came from behind.

Yan Nanfei glanced at Ku He not far away, then flashed and instantly appeared next to Gongzi Yu.

"Great Dragon Head, all the stubborn resistance fighters in the palace have been wiped out, and the palace is now completely under our control."

Yan Nanfei calmly reported the battle situation to Gongzi Yu, but his eyes were full of confidence.

Upon hearing this news, Gongzi Yu nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Ku He, who was still in shock, felt Yan Nanfei's gaze sweep over her, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

This mysterious figure turned out to be a grandmaster whose strength was even greater than his own!

Ku He sighed inwardly. Before he went into seclusion, there were only four Grandmasters in the entire world, but today, in just one day, he had met five Grandmaster-level experts.

This deeply shocked him and also gave him a profound sense of alienation from the world today.

Faced with so many grandmasters, Ku He felt that his own strength seemed insignificant.

He began to wonder if this era had truly transcended the scope of his understanding.

What kind of strength and background do these grandmasters possess? And how will they influence the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics)?

Upon hearing their words, Gongzi Yu's handsome face, previously hidden by a mask, revealed a smile as he said, "Alright!"

His eyes gleamed as he continued:

"Our master has just ascended the throne and needs a great victory to enhance his prestige. Now that we have taken control of the capital of Northern Qi and wiped out the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the cities of Northern Qi no longer have a unified command. This is the perfect opportunity."

Just then, Bai Xiaosheng appeared beside the three of them. He took over Gongzi Yu's words and said firmly:

"That's right. At that time, our master can lead the army straight into the capital, and we can surrender in the name of the Northern Qi royal family."
