Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

"In this battle, I am determined to personally lead the expedition. During my personal campaign, the Prince of Wei will oversee the state, and Chancellor Lin will serve as his advisor."

Li Chengtian narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Li Chengze, the Prince of Wei, who was standing below.

At this moment, Li Chengze stood there listlessly, like a salted fish.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on him.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, making him shiver and immediately snap back to reality.

He quickly stepped out of the queue and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Li Chengtian looked at Li Chengze, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips, and said softly:

"Yes, I believe you, Third Prince."

Then, his gaze slowly swept over the civil and military officials in the court, his eyes revealing a profound meaning, and he said meaningfully:

"I believe that even if I leave the capital temporarily, the Kingdom of Qing will not descend into chaos."

Upon hearing this, the courtiers were startled and lowered their heads to show their loyalty and reverence for the emperor.

They knew all too well that this emperor was ruthless and cunning, and definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Nowadays, everyone in the imperial court knows that Emperor Tiansheng Li Chengtian's own strength is like that of immortals and gods, and that Grandmasters are like ants. Furthermore, there are three Grandmasters guarding the imperial palace.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to have any improper thoughts?

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengtian shouted:

"By imperial decree, in two days, the army will march forth and declare war on the State of Qi!"

His voice was loud and powerful, and it resounded throughout the entire court.

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the air and pointing directly at the distant Northern Qi.

At this moment, the court was silent, and everyone felt the emperor's determination and majesty.

This war is destined to have a huge impact on both countries and will determine the future course of the situation.

Chapter 75: The Great Battle is Imminent, the Temple Messenger Appears

As evening approached, the blazing sun beat down, its rays as intense as flames, baking the earth as if to melt everything in its path.

On the official road not far from Kyoto, a black, demonic dragon was speeding toward Kyoto at an astonishing pace.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was not a demonic dragon, but a cavalry unit clad entirely in black armor. They were the Black Riders, one of the three most elite troop types in the Qing Kingdom.

This Black Cavalry unit consists of about one hundred men. They exude a strong aura of menace that sends chills down one's spine, and they are rightfully known as the most elite troops in the Qing Kingdom.

Just as the Black Riders were passing through a dense forest, suddenly, a rapid whooshing sound came from the forest, as if demons from hell were howling.

Two dark figures appeared out of thin air, their movements incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the very center of the cavalry formation.

"Pfft!"

With a dull thud, the leading Black Knight centurion was about to warn the others to be on their guard when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, his body flew backward involuntarily, and his consciousness disappeared completely.

The Black Knights truly lived up to their reputation as the most elite unit. Even when faced with a sudden attack, they were able to quickly adjust their state, demonstrating unwavering fighting spirit and outstanding military skills.

Despite the fierce attacks from the shadowy figures, they remained calm and composed, quickly forming a tight defensive line and gripping their spears tightly to engage in fierce combat with the enemy.

However, the two dark figures were moving too fast, as swift as lightning, making it impossible to track their movements.

The Black Knights' attacks often missed, failing to hit these two elusive assassins.

Worse still, the two shadowy figures attacked with astonishing speed, each strike as swift and fierce as a storm, leaving the Black Knights defenseless.

puff!

A deep sound rang out as a Black Knight corporal's throat was mercilessly pierced, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

puff!

Immediately afterwards, another Black Knight sergeant was also severely wounded, his chest pierced, and his body fell limply, like a lifeless doll.

boom!

boom!

With several dull thuds, several elite Black Riders were kicked away, their bodies arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

These soldiers suffered severe injuries, with broken bones and ruptured internal organs, and died before even touching the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty people had lost their lives at the hands of the shadowy figure.

The horses, now without their masters, neighed incessantly and scattered in fear.

The remaining Black Riders were not afraid despite the heavy casualties; they immediately regrouped and tried to restrict the Black Shadow's movements.

But it was of little use. The two shadow assassins didn't care about the Black Knights' attempts to gather them. As long as the Black Knights restricted their movements, they would be kicked to death immediately.

Moreover, his speed is like lightning, and his moves are extremely ruthless; he can kill someone with just one move.

"Grandmaster, these two are Grandmaster level experts!"

One of the sergeants from the Black Riders shouted calmly.

As elites of the Black Riders, they all possessed considerable cultivation. Under normal circumstances, even a ninth-rank martial artist would have shown signs of fatigue when surrounded and attacked by them like this.

But these two seemed tireless, their fighting power remaining as strong as ever.

Therefore, without a doubt, the two must be grandmasters!

"what!"

A piercing scream shattered the silence of the official road, echoing through the dense forest before gradually fading away until it disappeared completely.

Under the scorching sun, the dense forest returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

However, in this seemingly peaceful forest, a team of one hundred Black Riders had been completely wiped out.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, scattering across the ground and illuminating the figures of the two shadowy assassins.

They were tall and wore long black robes, their eyes covered by black cloth, giving them an air of mystery and coldness.

They held a strange weapon in their hands, like a demonic saw from hell, gleaming with a chilling light.

If Li Chengtian were present, he would immediately recognize these two as the temple messengers.

The two temple messengers exchanged a glance, like two silent vipers, their concealed eyes filled with a chilling indifference.

Suddenly, they moved swiftly like ghosts, as if they were phantoms in the darkness, and vanished into the depths of the dense forest in an instant, leaving only a faint black shadow.

They headed in the direction of Daqing, which was not far from here.

As the sun sets and night deepens, the sky gradually darkens.

Darkness, like a thick curtain, enveloped the earth, hiding everything in a hazy shadow.

At this time, in Kyoto, inside the Imperial Household Agency.

Chen Pingping was sitting at an octagonal table, looking down intently at the secret report in his hands, as if he were someone reading about destiny.

With a major battle looming, he needed to analyze this intelligence to extract useful information in order to prepare a response in advance.

One piece of intelligence caught his attention:

"The Northern Qi Imperial Guard has been destroyed by the Azure Dragon Society."

Chen Pingping was startled, as if struck by lightning. He immediately put down the other intelligence reports in his hand and picked up this one to read it carefully.

When he saw the date in the intelligence report, he was even more astonished, as if he had witnessed an incredible miracle—it had just been delivered last night.

Based on the timeline, this means that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was wiped out when Fan Xian and his men entered Northern Qi territory.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Chen Pingping frowned, his brows furrowing like a heavy mountain as he fell into deep thought.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered his conversation with His Majesty in the Imperial Study. His Majesty had mentioned that he had a force in Northern Qi that could help Fan Xian in a critical moment.

Could the power Your Majesty mentioned be the Azure Dragon Society?

If that's the case, then His Majesty's scheming is terrifying.

After all, developing such a large organization inevitably requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

This also means that His Majesty had already begun to lay the groundwork for Northern Qi many years ago, and His Majesty is only 20 years old now!

Thinking of this, Chen Pingping couldn't help but feel a chill, as if she were being blown by a cold wind.

Just as Chen Pingping was gripped by horror, Shadow suddenly rushed over.

He walked up to Chen Pingping with a solemn expression and said urgently:

"Dean, something's happened!"

Upon hearing Shadow's words, Chen Pingping immediately came to his senses.

He knew Shadow well; unless something urgent had happened, he would never have come to him in such a hurry.

So he quickly asked:

"What happened?"

The shadow said in a deep voice:
