Chapter 1472 Loyal Guard, a Moment of Life and Death

The posthouse where the Northern Qi envoys were staying temporarily was surrounded by a large army, including two thousand elite troops and one hundred tiger guards.

The one who led the army to besiege the posthouse was Ye Chong, the garrison of Jingdu. In fact, he received the order from Emperor Qing at dawn today.

When he learned what he was going to do, his face turned pale with fear. If he were to say who he was most afraid of offending in Jingdu, Duke Zhenguo Zhou Chen would definitely be among the top three. However, facing Emperor Qing's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and agree.

It was because he agreed that he realized that he had no way out and could only go all the way.

It was also because of this that he launched a fierce attack on the posthouse where the Northern Qi envoys were located, just to capture the Northern Qi princess alive.

He started the attack at the time agreed by Emperor Qing, but after so long, two thousand elite troops plus one hundred and eight-rank tiger guards did not capture the posthouse.

Because there were originally 500 elite soldiers from the Northern Qi Posthouse. These elite soldiers were specially given to Zhan Pianpian by the young emperor of the Northern Qi, and they were also the face of the Northern Qi. However, Zhan Doudou himself did not expect that these people would play a role so quickly.

If it were not for these people's desperate protection, Zhan Pianpian would probably have been captured.

But even so, under the impact of the Qing army, even if they were on the defensive side, they still suffered heavy losses. In a short period of time, only 200 people were left from the 500 elite soldiers.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a group of black-clothed men rushed into the army, and they rushed the Qing army into pieces like cutting melons and vegetables. It was the tiger guards who took action to stop the group of black-clothed men.

This group of black-clothed men was not a secret in the eyes of the major forces in Kyoto. They all knew that they were the 36 constellations under Zhou Chen.

But this time it was obviously more than 36 people, but about 100 people. The most powerful one was a master with a sword. Even if seven or eight tiger guards besieged him, they were not his opponent. He was definitely a swordsman of the ninth grade.

It was under the leadership of this ninth-rank swordsman that the group of star guards broke through the blockade of the imperial guards and rushed into the posthouse.

After a short period of fighting, only less than 1,500 of the two thousand elite troops were left, which made Ye Zhong look extremely ugly.

At this moment, he really wanted to dispatch more troops. As long as a few thousand more people came, he could easily kill all of them.

But the problem was that although he was the garrison commander of Kyoto, he had no power to mobilize troops at will without an order.

"Sir, why don't we use military crossbows?"

Seeing that the attack had failed for a long time, one of his officers suggested to Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong looked ugly. The order given to him by Emperor Qing was to capture the Grand Princess of Northern Qi alive, but if they used a crossbow, they would not be able to guarantee the life of the Grand Princess of Northern Qi.

But this hesitation only lasted for a moment, and he soon said fiercely with a ferocious face: "Use military crossbows, archers, get ready, use military crossbows."

The army is stronger than those warriors because they have coordination and tactics. If they are equipped with crossbows with great lethality, they will definitely be fatal to ordinary warriors.

At this point, he can no longer care about so much. Emperor Qing told him that he wanted to capture the Princess of Northern Qi alive, but he also said that if things are impossible, he can kill her.

Anyway, they have already started. Zhou Chen has someone to deal with him. As for Northern Qi, that is something Emperor Qing has to consider. He is just a person who executes orders and does not need to think so much.

In the posthouse, Zhan Pianpian, who was wearing a bright red phoenix crown and bridal robe, was protected by a group of people in the middle. She has always been not very courageous, but at this moment, she did not show a panicked look, but was unusually calm, cooperating with the guards.

It's just that her expression is not good-looking, her brows are tightly knitted, she is just a little silly, but not stupid.

She knew very well that Zhou Chen had not appeared since the inn was besieged, and he must have been in danger.

She was not afraid, because she had already made the worst plan in her mind. She was Zhou Chen's fiancée and a princess of the royal family of Daqi. Even in the face of danger and death, she must not lose face. Even if she died, she had to die with dignity.

"You must be okay."

Suddenly, crossbows shot over. Although everyone was prepared, the crossbows were extremely lethal. Many people were injured in one wave, and the situation suddenly became worse.

"Protect His Highness."

Whether it was the guarding Northern Qi soldiers or the thirty-six constellations and seventy-two earthly demons of the Star Guards, they all protected Zhan Pianpian regardless of everything.

Zhan Pianpian was surrounded by everyone and pursed her lips. She was powerless and could only be protected by others at this time. Moreover, at this time, whatever she said was pale and powerless. She could only remain silent and not cause trouble for everyone.

…………

“Master, take the sword!”

Just as Emperor Qing roared again and asked Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger to charge, a blood-soaked man suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly.

A sword shining with cold light was thrown over. Seeing this, Emperor Qing shouted, “Stop him.”

Ye Liuyun knew what to do without Emperor Qing calling him. He immediately rushed over to stop Zhou Chen from taking the sword, but Zhou Chen’s reaction was faster than him. He caught the sword one step faster than Ye Liuyun and then slashed at Ye Liuyun.

A sword energy slashed at Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun had no choice but to fly back and avoid the sword.

The sword energy passed by Ye Liuyun, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.

Seeing Zhou Chen with the sword in his hand, Emperor Qing became furious and slapped the guard who handed Zhou Chen the sword with his palm.

The guard was only of the eighth grade, so how could he withstand Emperor Qing's attack? His body instantly turned into blood mist, and Zhou Chen had no time to save him.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Star Guards are his most trusted and valued subordinates, but there are still many guards left by the old man in the Zhou Mansion. They may not be as talented and powerful as Star Guards, but His loyalty to Zhou Chen is by no means worse than that of Xingwei.

The person who gave him the sword was called Jia Shi, who was considered one of the most powerful people among the guards. He came to give Zhou Chen the sword, obviously with the determination to die.

Zhou Chen suppressed his anger in his heart. Anger was useless at this time. He needed to stay rational. Even though he now had a sword in his hand and his combat power soared, he still had no chance of winning against the three great masters.

But even so, Zhou Chen's combat effectiveness changes dramatically with or without a sword in his hand.

"bring it on!"

…………

"Crazy, crazy..."

The aloof Emperor Qing looked at Zhou Chen in panic like a frightened horse.

As the emperor of Qing State and the leader of a country, there were not many things that could make him lose his composure, but today he kept losing his composure in front of Zhou Chen.

Not to mention Emperor Qing, even Ye Liuyun, who had always been calm and calm, was breathing heavily and looking horrified at this time.

In the center of the street, Zhou Chen was still surrounded by three people. The shops and houses of hundreds of feet around him had all collapsed and were in a mess. Apart from the four of them, no one could be seen around him.

Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun were both seriously injured at this time. Half of Ye Liuyun's face was still bleeding, and he also had multiple sword wounds on his body, looking extremely embarrassed.

Emperor Qing is no better than Ye Liuyun. Although he tries his best to avoid rushing in front when fighting, Zhou Chen always regards him as the first target of attack. Sometimes, even if he is facing the attack, he has to exchange injuries with him. , which made him extremely uncomfortable.

It's a big joke that the three great masters were beaten like this by beating Zhou Chen.

In the final analysis, it was because the three of them didn't get along at all, Emperor Qing was cowardly, and Ye Liuyun left some room.

The temple messenger seemed to be the most effective, but in fact, during the melee, he had no cooperation with Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun, and he had no true energy. Even with strength and movement speed, in these aspects, Zhou Chen is not bad either. Maybe Zhou Chen is not as durable as his robot body, but in a short period of time, Zhou Chen can still avoid most of his attacks with his strong perception.

At this time, the importance of Zhou Chen's physical fitness, which was over fifty points and nearly sixty points, was also reflected.

His physical fitness far exceeds that of Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun. With the same injury, Zhou Chen may only be slightly injured, but the two of them are definitely much more serious.

That is to say, relying on his strong physical fitness, superb swordsmanship and body skills, he was able to endure until now under the encirclement and suppression of the three great masters who were not united.

But after fighting for such a long time, he was injured in many places, and his body was almost unable to bear it. Multiple bursts of zhenqi, forcibly absorbing the 'vital energy of heaven and earth' to restore himself, caused the meridians in his body to rupture to varying degrees.

The Grand Master is otherworldly, but he still does not get rid of human limitations. He will still be injured and his body will collapse. Zhou Chen relies on his powerful control of Qi to face the siege of the three Grand Masters and remain undefeated.

But his power is limited after all.

Except for the lack of emotions of the temple messenger, Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun were both frightened.

Especially Ye Liuyun, who had fought against Zhou Chen, was deeply touched. Only at this moment did he understand how much Zhou Chen had betrayed him in the battle with Zhou Chen in Jiangnan.

If Zhou Chen had fought him like this at that time, he would have died under Zhou Chen's sword in less than two hours.

This is an admirable opponent, but his eyes become sharper. The more powerful Zhou Chen is, the less likely he is to let Zhou Chen leave alive, otherwise it will be a disaster for him and the Ye family.

Previously, he was forced to take action against Zhou Chen due to the threat from Emperor Qing, but he still had some leeway and deliberately exposed himself on the way to Kyoto.

But now, although he does not regret his previous actions, he has become more determined to kill.

Zhou Chen cannot be allowed to live!

Emperor Qing also had this idea, and Emperor Qing was even stronger than him. It was this belief that made Emperor Qing understand that if he didn't risk his life to kill Zhou Chen at this time, he would have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

"kill!"

Emperor Qing, who was not cowed, was actually very powerful in battle thanks to his royal energy. Coupled with the cooperation of Ye Liuyun and the temple envoy, the final decisive battle came.

"boom!"

…………

"boom!"

Zhou Chen's body hit the deep pit on the ground heavily, and his breath diminished to almost nothing. Not far away from him, the sword Zhan Doudou gave him had only the hilt left, and the sword body had already It broke into pieces, and I don't know where they landed.

The temple envoy flashed and disappeared quickly, leaving only Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun at the scene.

Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun were both extremely embarrassed. They tried their best to defeat Zhou Chen.

Liu Yun's hands broke many bones in Zhou Chen's body, but Zhou Chen could still fight to the death. Even as an opponent, Ye Liuyun admired Zhou Chen endlessly. At this time, Zhou Chen looked like this, and he did not add insult to injury at all. the meaning of.

But Emperor Qing was different. He looked at Zhou Chen, who was lying limp and unable to get up, with a ferocious face, his eyes full of joy.

He had made the last attack just now. Crossing half of the lake with one finger was his unique skill. He hit Zhou Chen head-on. This attack contained half of his life's cultivation. With just one attack, Zhou Chen's tendons and veins were completely broken.

His tendons and veins were broken, and half of his bones were broken and shattered. If it were a normal person, he would have died several times, but Zhou Chen was still alive.

Emperor Qing looked down at Zhou Chen, who fell to the ground like a dead fish, and felt extremely happy. He had done so much just for this moment.

"Zhou Chen, this is the result of your disrespect for me. If you can know what's good for you and be loyal to me, the whole world will be our world. But you, relying on your own force, disrespecting the law and disrespecting the royal monarch, have ended up like this. It's your own fault."

Zhou Chen's body was almost motionless, but his ears could still hear. He just didn't bother to listen to the arrogant and complacent words of Emperor Qing, and closed his heavy eyelids.

He was seriously injured, to be precise, a near-death injury. Even if he was a grandmaster, he was hopeless. If this continued, he would die soon.

This was also the most serious injury he had ever suffered, but he didn't feel any fear or sadness at the moment, but was unusually calm.

He was afraid of death, more than 99% of the people in the world. He was calm now, not because he was not afraid of death, but because he knew he would not die. Even if he was "dead", he would still have a chance to start over, so he was not afraid.

The Emperor Qing was even more upset when he saw Zhou Chen was indifferent.

"It has come to this, and you still pretend not to care. This is what I hate the most about you."

Zhou Chen's disregard made him most angry.

"You won't die so soon. I won't kill you now. Wait a minute. Your woman, the princess of Northern Qi and that prostitute will be sent here soon. I will tear your pride apart and kill you in the most cruel way. Let you die with regret. This is my punishment for you."

Faced with Emperor Qing's provocative threat, Zhou Chen remained indifferent, but his mind had already communicated with the system.

When he broke through to the Grandmaster level before, there were still two points left. Whether he can survive this time, these two attribute points will play a crucial role.

"System, add points!"
