Chapter 783 - 644: The Final Battle 1_1

Chapter 783: Chapter 644: The Final Battle 1_1

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Yu Hongchang once again stood atop the palace wall, her gaze fixed in the direction of where the True Emperor Zhengtong was located.

The joy and relief of successfully repelling Liang Heng and others had completely vanished from her heart, leaving only shock and tension.

She noticed the changes in the aura of the six Darkdragon Guards, but what was even more startling was Zhengtong Emperor himself.

"Those guys, they are preparing to fight to the death." Even Jiang Hanyun, who is usually fearless, looked somberly serious at this moment, "Those Darkdragon Guards, I can barely hold one off, assuming there’s enough Thunder Style energy around Qianqing Palace."

"I will use Thunder Style magic to summon lightning to assist you!" Xue Yunrou hesitated slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I should be able to deal with one of them as well."

Through her Spirit Eye, she observed that at this moment, the vitality of these Darkdragon Guards was like large torches filling the void in front of her.

Xue Yunrou estimated that their combat strength of these Darkdragon Guards hadn’t reached the stage of the Great Heavenly Position, but they were very close.

She was prepared to stimulate her vital essence and blood, even her Life Element, to boost her combat power.

Without it, she wouldn’t be able to contend with the Darkdragon Guard.

However, what she cared about most at this moment wasn’t these Darkdragon Guards.

Xue Yunrou squinted her eyes and said, "The key lies in the Lord of Xuanwu Palace and the True Emperor——"

At this moment, the most terrifying one is Zhengtong Emperor. His body is filled with Dragon Qi, which has reached the level of taking a physical form.

Those Dragon Qi transformed into huge five-clawed dragons encircling Zhengtong Emperor, but their color was dark red, looking fierce and terrifying, with none of the auspicious majesty of normal Dragon Qi.

The majestic vitality he had was even stronger than Liang Heng’s before.

"I despise him!" Jiang Hanyun snorted coldly, her face filled with disdain, "Why didn’t he fight to the death at Tumu Fort? When the Meng Wu people invaded, why didn’t this dog of an emperor stand up?"

Yu Hongchang also disdained this imperial uncle’s behavior, but the urgent task at hand was to come up with a strategy to counter Zhengtong Emperor.

At this moment, she also wanted to burn her Life Element, and she wouldn’t care even if it cost one or two hundred years of her lifespan, as long as she could turn danger into safety for everyone, including the Emperor.

But Yu Hongchang couldn’t do it; her balance of yin and yang was barely maintained. If it broke out too much, she would be torn to pieces by her own power.

"Let me handle the dog emperor." Luo Yan said in a faint voice, "I estimate that I can still use the Extreme Heaven ’Bupo’ for an hour."

If it really doesn’t work, she can transform into a butterfly again.

"No!" Yu Hongchang shook her head slightly, thinking that she already owes Luo Yan too much.

She couldn’t bear to see Luo Yan sacrifice her lifespan again, no matter what.

Luo Yan frowned upon hearing this, thinking that under these circumstances, they had no other choice.

Just as she was about to say something, an authoritative and weary voice sounded from within the Qianqing Hall, "Indeed, it’s not appropriate!"

The expressions of the people present couldn’t help but freeze, looking toward the source of the sound.

Under their gaze, Jingtai Emperor, wearing purple-gold armor, stepped out from the palace door. Behind him was Jiang Yunqi, holding a double-headed halberd, his face cold.

Yu Hongchang’s face turned pale instantly.

She had seen Jingtai Emperor’s injuries before, and it was impossible for him to recover so quickly.

However, Jingtai Emperor himself looked calm, only his eyes were complex as he looked outside Qianqing Palace, "I know that Luo Xiaowei, you intervened for the Marquis of Guanjun, but the grudges between us brothers, it’s not right for you to risk your life for me."

He stood tall like a mountain, the image of a dragon floating around him, "This is the mess I left behind, and I should bear the consequences——"

※※※※

Due to the blockage of the ’Jiuding Wulong Hunyuan Great Array,’ Zhengtong Emperor was completely clueless about the situation inside the Qianqing Palace.

After preparing for all the offensive actions, he stood waiting quietly with his hands behind his back.

Zhengtong Emperor was waiting for someone, and this person didn’t make him wait long.

About twenty breaths later, Prince Xiang, Yu Zhanshi, dressed in prison clothes, came to his side.

Yu Zhanshi had been imprisoned for nearly two months, which not only made him look haggard, but also turned his temples white.

With a blank expression on his face, he went behind Zhengtong Emperor and bowed, "Your Majesty! I don’t know why you summoned me——"

Before Yu Zhanshi could finish, Zhengtong Emperor turned his head and stared at him. His eyes were bright and intimidating, "I summoned you to fight a life and death battle with me."

"Your Majesty?"

Yu Zhanshi was taken aback, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhengtong Emperor’s appearance also startled him.

The veins in this former emperor’s neck and lower face were bulging like earthworms, and his eyes were bulging outwards, making him look extremely fierce.

"You should know the current situation." Zhengtong Emperor’s voice was icy, "Whether it’s Li Xuan attacking Beijing, or Yu Qiyu recovering from his injuries and waking up, we both will die without a place to be buried!"

"I know, Yu Zhanshi, that you have gathered several heavenly ranks under your control. But if I perish here, you too will have no escape route. Do you not know that if the lips perish, the teeth will be in cold, and if the nest overturns, the eggs will be broken?"

Yu Zhanshi couldn’t help but fall into deep thought: "I understand the logic, but what can I gain from this?"

He knew time was pressing, so his words were very straightforward.

The Zhengtong Emperor gave a cold laugh: "I promise that after my enthronement, I will clear your name from the charges of rebellion. This case was entirely fabricated by Li Xuan, framed, and setup.

However, you and your son must exile yourselves far offshore, and your eldest illegitimate son will inherit the throne. Prince Xiang’s five guards must also be reduced by three. This is my bottom line. The decision is up to you!"

"Your servant is willing to obey!" Upon looking at the Zhengtong Emperor’s bloodshot eyes filled with a touch of madness, Yu Zhanshi knew he had no room for bargaining.

He slightly nodded: "But my legitimate eldest son Yu Qiyong and my daughter Yu Yunhuang are currently imprisoned in Zhao Prison, I hope Your Majesty can release them immediately."

The Zhengtong Emperor stared at Yu Zhanshi, eventually letting out a light hum: "Okay! I just don’t know how long will you need to prepare?"

"Right now." Yu Zhanshi beckoned to the sky, and a rainbow light came from the horizon, landing before him.

It was a giant black shield embossed with five dragons, and a heavy mace with carved dragons and phoenix.

Yu Zhanshi picked them up, his aura became dignified and heavy, resembling a Xuan Turtle: "Time is of the essence, we won’t wait. I hope Your Majesty can keep your promise."

The Zhengtong Emperor watched silently, a hint of a mocking smile on his face.

He thought that his uncle was well-prepared, even having an immortal treasure ready to help him control the Dragon Qi when he ascended the throne.

The Zhengtong Emperor then turned his attention to the task at hand, nothing mattered now except the Jingtai Emperor, Yu Qiyu.

"Let’s start then! Mother?"

Behind the Zhengtong Emperor, Empress Sun sitting on a palanquin immediately opened her pupils wide, displaying bluish-green radiance.

At the same time, a blue wind blade burst forth from her front. It slashed open the space, the void, and the world!

In an instant, it shattered the Five-clawed Golden Dragon coiling above the Qianqing Palace!

Just as the ’Jiuding Wulong Hunyuan Great Array’ was again torn apart, including the six Darkdragon Guards, Demon Master Yu Changsheng, the ’Eight-armed Demon Lord’ Liao Daozhen, ’Huoyun Sword’ Jin Wuwang, and a group of heavenly ranks headed by the Palace Master of Xuanwu Palace, once again entered into the high wall using their escape technique.

Their momentum was incomparable, and the erupted imposing Yuan Qi nearly caused the ’Jiuding Wulong Hunyuan Great Array’ to collapse.

Zhu Guoneng, who had been standing on the frontline all along, was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He was thrown off the palace wall and crashed into the ground, leaving a large pit.

He had taken a blow from the Darkdragon Guard, nearly being shattered by the latter’s unmatched power.

The Zhengtong Emperor attacked straight from the main entrance. He was wrapped in nine dark red dragon Qi and struck like a meteor.

Just one blow shattered the heavy palace door.

But at this moment, a look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Zhengtong Emperor.

He heard a heavy cold hum, followed by approximately one-third of the blood-colored Dragon Qi enveloping the six Darkdragon Guards dissipating instantaneously.

It was as if a hyena had encountered a lion on the grasslands, their once invincible, unstoppable momentum, suddenly fell off.

Moreover, the Zhengtong Emperor saw two huge Golden Dragons stretching out from the front of the Qianqing Palace. They opened their huge blood basins and swallowed the two nearest Darkdragon Guards in one gulp.

"Yu Qiyu!"

The Zhengtong Emperor’s body was hit like a thunderbolt, his pupils contracted sharply as he looked ahead.

The Jingtai Emperor, who was supposed to be recuperating in the Qianqing Palace, was now standing at the gate of the palace, atop the white jade steps.

He looked pale, looking down with anger, murderous intent, heartache, and disdain in his eyes.

With the dragon Qi controlled by Jingtai Emperor coiling around, he instantly shredded the two Darkdragon Guards swallowed by the dragon Qi into pieces, scattering countless pieces of bloody flesh!

"What a cruel heart and ruthless means you have, brother. But I’m curious, why do you only use such strategies and determination against your own people?"

The Jingtai Emperor looked down at the Zhengtong Emperor, stepping down one step at a time. His dragon Qi was soaring, majestic and grand, encompassing the entire sky.

Nine huge golden dragons of unprovoked majesty coiled down, staring angrily at Zhengtong.

"In the past Tumu Fort Incident, if you had had the courage and determination you have now, you wouldn’t have been captured by the Mongols. The throne wouldn’t have slipped out of your hands."

The Zhengtong Emperor looked at the Jingtai Emperor in his magnificent aura, slightly lost in thought.

Then he started to laugh: "The victor is king, the loser is thief, what else is there to say?"

More worm-like blood vessels appeared on the face of the Zhengtong Emperor.

The Zhengtong Emperor’s body crouched slightly, like a beast intending to pounce on its prey, and the murderous intent in his pupils intensified: "Coming out at this moment, it seems you do not wish to live any longer. That’s good, you and me, brothers, let’s settle the score here today!"

Then his whole body flashed forward again, striking like a meteor in front of the Jingtai Emperor. Both clashed with their ’Heavenly Emperor Swords’, their momentum was like Pangu tearing apart the sky and the earth.

The dragon Qi around them intertwined, biting madly. The grand and imposing Yuan Qi caused the ground to crack and left the world in darkness.
