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

"Just now, the Fifth Bureau's chief messenger reported that a hundred elite Black Cavalrymen were brutally murdered not far from the capital at dusk, with no survivors."

Upon hearing this news, Chen Pingping's face instantly darkened, like a sky filled with dark clouds.

His eyes widened, and he asked incredulously:

"What?! The entire elite 100 Black Riders have been wiped out? How is that possible? They were our Surveillance Bureau's trump card! And they were located not far from Kyoto!"

The shadow continued:

"Based on the coroner's initial examination, it can be determined that the murderer is extremely skilled and fast, killing people with a single blow. One hundred elite Black Knights were completely powerless to resist and were easily killed."

As he spoke, Shadow handed Chen Pingping a brief report on the coroner's preliminary examination.

Chen Pingping took the briefing and read it carefully. His expression grew increasingly grim, and his brows furrowed as deeply as mountains.

Of the 100 corpses, 48 ​​had been fatally wounded in the chest, their hearts pierced. The wounds were small holes, suspected to be sword wounds, with long, thin blades.

Secondly, of the thirty-two corpses, the throats were pierced, indicating extremely fast speed; all of them were killed with a single, instantaneous blow.

The remaining twenty people all died from having their sternums and internal organs shattered by the immense force of the kick. The person who did this must have been incredibly strong and likely a master of external martial arts.

The autopsy report concluded with a statement suggesting that the murderer was a Grandmaster.

"A blow to the chest, piercing the heart, kills instantly!"

Chen Pingping frowned and slowly read out this sentence from the autopsy report, her face showing a solemn expression, as if she was thinking about something.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Uh... his voice was deep."

"Does this technique look familiar?"

The shadow stood to the side and spoke calmly.

Chen Pingping raised her head, her sharp gaze fixed on the shadow, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

What are you trying to say?

After a moment of silence, the shadow said:

"Lin Gong, his guards, and these elite Black Riders all died in the exact same way."

"And as far as I know, there is only one person in the world who possesses such skill and such methods of killing."

"You mean the fifth soldier?"

“It shouldn’t be him!” Chen Pingping immediately rejected the shadow’s guess.

Why couldn't it be him?

The Five Great Men are elusive and difficult to track down; in the entire capital, only he would use such a method of murder.

Shadow's attitude was very firm.

Chen Pingping shook his head and said:

"That's indeed how Wu Zu killed people, but I know him quite well. He's not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, and he certainly wouldn't kill our Daqing Black Riders."

“There must be something strange about this. His Majesty is about to lead the expedition in person. I will go to the palace now to report this to His Majesty.”

After saying that, Chen Pingping picked up the investigation results in his hand and quickly walked towards the palace.

The night was deep, and boundless darkness enveloped the Qing Kingdom's palace. The palace was brightly lit, but it still seemed somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Inside the Imperial Study in the palace, the flickering candlelight illuminated Emperor Li Chengtian's majestic and profound face.

He sat quietly at his desk, his gaze fixed on the intelligence he had just received.

This intelligence came from Chen Pingping and described in detail a major event that occurred outside Kyoto City—a mysterious grandmaster appeared and brutally murdered a hundred-man Black Rider squad, their deaths mirroring those of Lin Gong and his men.

Li Chengtian frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

He found the matter too strange, which reminded him of some past events.

He guessed that this might be the manifestation of messengers from the temple, people who possessed extraordinary powers.

Of course, Li Chengtian was not too surprised or afraid by these things.

He knew that he was strong enough to handle any challenge, even these mysterious messengers.

He calmly considered how to deal with the situation and decided to handle it personally.

Li Chengtian raised his head, looked at Chen Pingping standing in front of him, and said firmly:

"You need not worry about this matter anymore; I will handle it myself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that His Majesty's power was unfathomable, and since His Majesty had personally expressed his intention to handle the matter, there was naturally nothing to worry about.

He bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Then this humble subject will take his leave."

After saying that, he turned and left the imperial study, leaving Li Chengtian alone to ponder.

Li Chengtian muttered to himself:

"Temple... uh!"

In an instant, he suddenly remembered another character in the play—Madam Wang.

This Lady Wang's talent was in no way inferior to Ye Qingmei's; in fact, it could be said that they were on par.

More importantly, in the original novel, Madam Wang was Ye Qingmei's boss!

In this way, her understanding of the temple will definitely be more comprehensive and in-depth.

Thinking of this, Li Chengtian disappeared from the Imperial Study without hesitation, flew into the air, closed his eyes, and focused intently on sensing the presence of Madam Wang's ninth-grade aura.

After a dozen or so breaths, Li Chengtian finally managed to sense Madam Wang's location.

Whoosh!

In just a few breaths, Li Chengtian appeared in the sky above Wang Qinian's house like a ghost.

His speed was so fast that it was impossible to predict, as if he were a bolt of lightning, instantly traversing the distance of space.

Li Chengtian entered the room silently, like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengtian made a swift move, gently tapping Wang's daughter into a deep sleep.

Then, he hovered above Madam Wang like a ghost and slowly exhaled a breath.

After all, Madam Wang was a ninth-rank expert. When Li Chengtian's breath touched her face, she immediately opened her eyes alertly.

Her eyes snapped open like lightning, but when she saw someone hovering in front of her, her eyes widened instantly, goosebumps rose all over her body, and she screamed in terror:

"Ghost!"

Her voice, like a sharp arrow, pierced the silence of the night.

It's not surprising that Madam Wang was so frightened, after all, she has modern thinking and concepts.

To open your eyes suddenly in the dead of night and find a person floating in front of you staring at you—it takes a lot of mental fortitude to survive being scared to death.

Li Chengtian looked at Madam Wang, who was quite frightened, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying:

"Madam Wang, don't be afraid. I'm not some ghost! I am the Heavenly Saint Emperor of Daqing." His voice carried a hint of mockery and authority.

After finishing his introduction, Li Chengtian made his way to the center of the room in a series of quick, fleeting steps.

Hearing Li Chengtian's words, Madam Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, allowing her wildly beating heart to calm down a little.

She glanced at her daughter, who had been put to sleep a short distance away, slowly put on her coat, got out of bed, and asked softly:

"Your Majesty, what brings you to my humble home so late at night?"

Her voice was like a nightingale singing in a valley, clear and melodious.

Li Chengtian didn't waste any time, but went straight to the point:

“You are no ordinary woman. I know very well that you also came from the temple and have talents comparable to Ye Qingmei. Moreover, I know that you have been hiding from the temple’s pursuit all these years.”

His words were like sharp swords, directly pointing to the core of the problem.

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, a hint of panic flashed in Madam Wang's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Li Chengtian with feigned calmness and said in a light tone:

"Now that Your Majesty is aware of this, Your Highness, please state the purpose of your visit."

Li Chengtian chuckled inwardly, thinking that this woman was indeed no simpleton, but he didn't want to beat around the bush any longer, so he said directly:

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. I want to know everything about the temple."

Chapter 76 Temple Nuclear Weapons, Messenger Storms the Palace

When Madam Wang heard Li Chengtian's words, her heart skipped a beat, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She stared wide-eyed at the new emperor of Daqing before her, and couldn't help but wonder to herself that this new emperor of Daqing had also become interested in the temple.

She frowned slightly, thinking of the temple's power, and decided not to tell the new emperor anything about the temple, intending to just say something casually to get by.

So she slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on the handsome and imposing Li Chengtian before her, and replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, in fact, I don't know much about the temple."
