The voice was heart-wrenching, filled with deep-seated hatred.
Xu Long's figure appeared in mid-air, his target the emperor.
His hair was snow-white, his face was contorted with rage, and a murderous aura emanated from him.
At this moment, Xu Long looked like a vengeful ghost, extremely terrifying.
"How dare you!"
Upon seeing Xu Long attack, Cao Zhengchun roared and leaped forward to meet him.
Bang bang bang bang!
Fist to fist, foot to foot, they exchanged Kung Fu Hustle more than ten times in the blink of an eye.
Cao Zhengchun's martial arts skills were extremely advanced, and his Internal Force from fifty years of Heavenly Dipper Virgin Boy Skill was extremely refined.
Many people may be no weaker than him, but those who could kill him are definitely no more than a handful.
" Cheng Shifei, I never expected it to be you, a remnant of the old regime! You managed to escape back then, but this time I will surely kill you here!"
Cao Zhengchun roared, his internal Internal Force surging, causing the air to distort for a moment.
" Vajra Indestructible Divine Art!"
Xu Long roared and transformed into a golden figure, charging forward.
Thump thump thump!
Dozens of punches landed on Xu Long, as if striking an impenetrable wall.
Xu Long was unharmed, but Cao Zhengchun's fists ached from the impact.
"What a magnificent Vajra Indestructible Divine Art! What a Cheng Shifei!"
Cao Zhengchun was amazed, but he did not give up.
The Heavenly Dipper Virgin Boy Skill is extremely masculine and powerful, and excels at direct, head-on confrontation.
While the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art powerful, it is not invincible.
Each attack generates a massive shockwave, and when the Internal Force is dissipated, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is broken.
In the original storyline, Cheng Shifei pulled out of his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art state by Iron Courage Divine Marquis, and that was because of this.
"I don't believe it! You think you, a mere scoundrel, can be invincible?!"
Cao Zhengchun roared, unleashing a torrent of Internal Force that struck Xu Long's chest with relentless force.
A deafening roar echoed around them, and Xu Long was pounded like a ball.
The fight lasted a full five minutes. Xu Long took at least a thousand blows from Cao Zhengchun, Vajra Indestructible Divine Art finally gave way.
puff!
Xu Long coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground, his eyes wide open, his breath rapidly fading.
"Heh, just a small-time hoodlum. Even if he gets incredibly lucky and receives a windfall, he'll still just be a small-time hoodlum."
Cao Zhengchun sneered, his face full of disdain.
To kill Cheng Shifei, he expended a full 30% of his Internal Force.
But it doesn't matter, his greatest enemy Iron Courage Divine Marquis, is already dead, and those small fry are no match for him.
"Your Majesty, although the Divine Marquis is dead, he is still the Emperor's uncle. This servant suggests opening the coffin so that we may see Divine Marquis one last time."
Cao Zhengchun returned to the Red Queen's side and said...
"Alright!"
The Red Queen nodded and followed Cao Zhengchun to the front of the coffin.
"Open the coffin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cao Zhengchun responded and waved his hand to slap the coffin.
He wanted to smash the coffin, humiliate the Iron Courage Divine Marquis one last time, and vent the anger that had been building up in his heart for decades.
However, just as he raised his hand, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly appeared, making him instinctively want to block.
Unfortunately, it was already a bit late.
boom!
A terrifying burst of energy erupted from inside the coffin in all directions, striking Cao Zhengchun and causing him to stagger back three steps uncontrollably.
" Iron Courage Divine Marquis! You're not dead!"
Cao Zhengchun's face was filled with solemnity as he watched the figure fly out of the coffin.
"I've prepared for so long, of course I won't die!"
Iron Courage Divine Marquis looked down at the Red Queen, who was disguised as the emperor, in the distance. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned his gaze back to Cao Zhengchun.
"How dare you, Zhu Wushi! Are you trying to rebel?"
Upon hearing the Iron Courage Divine Marquis refer to himself as "I," Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but angrily rebuke him.
However, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis had been planning this day for a long time, so why would he care about Cao Zhengchun's insults?
"Where are the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends? Kill them!"
Iron Courage Divine Marquis snorted coldly and immediately gave the order.
Although he possessed profound skills, he was also surrounded by many people.
The Eastern Depot and the Imperial Guards together number over ten thousand. If he were to do it himself, he would probably be worked to death.
The purpose of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dippers and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends is to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers.
However, after speaking, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis received no response.
What happened?
He glanced around and saw the imperial guards and eunuchs from the Eastern Depot standing on either side of the emperor.
On the side of the Dragon Guardian Villa, neither the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends appeared, nor did Duan Tianya; only Haitang and Yagyu Piaoxu were present.
Iron Courage Divine Marquis sensed something was wrong, but he had no Kung Fu Hustle to think about it at the moment.
"I've long wanted to fight the Divine Marquis. I was a little disappointed when I thought Divine Marquis was dead. Now's the time to prepare my life!"
Cao Zhengchun chuckled sinisterly twice and leaped forward.
Both were top-tier fighters, and their battle was extremely intense.
The Internal Force surged, and the energy radiated in all directions; no living person should enter within a ten-meter radius.
Despite all his faults, Cao Zhengchun had no intention of rebelling, and the eunuchs of the Eastern Depot were no different.
"Guards! Protect the Emperor!"
As the roar resounded, the guards and eunuchs surrounded the Red Queen, so tightly that not even a bird could fly in.
"What a Iron Courage Divine Marquis! What a Zhu Wushi! I have underestimated you!"
After exchanging dozens of blows, Cao Zhengchun was kicked away by the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
"You underestimate me, but I have never thought highly of you."
Iron Courage Divine Marquis sneered, showing no hurry to kill anyone.
He was already much stronger than Cao Zhengchun, and the latter had also exhausted a lot of his Internal Force in his battle with Xu Long, making him even less of a match for him.
" Cao Zhengchun, if you submit to me, the position of Director of the Eastern Depot will still be yours!"
"Inexplicable, utterly absurd!"
Cao Zhengchun looked disdainful. After their exchange, he knew he was no match for the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
But even though he couldn't beat them, he just wouldn't accept it!
Even if I get beaten to death, I won't accept it!
"Court death!"
Upon hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis flew into a rage and charged forward once more.
Energy Absorption Great Art!
A terrifying suction force appeared out of nowhere, and Cao Zhengchun was uncontrollably thrown towards the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
His Internal Force flowed uncontrollably through his meridians, being drawn into his body by the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
Just as the refined Internal Force cultivated over fifty years was about to become the spoils of Iron Courage Divine Marquis, a fierce roar suddenly rang out.
The change came too suddenly; even the Iron Courage Divine Marquis hadn't had time to react.
Bang!
A sharp sword pierced his back, interrupting the Energy Absorption Great Art, and Iron Courage Divine Marquis was also injured.
" Piaoxu... you..."
The Iron Courage Divine Marquis's face was filled with shock. Yagyu Piaoxu was clearly his subordinate, so why would she betray him?
And why is the Haitang attacking itself too?
"Everyone, listen to my command: kill this traitor!"
At the Red Queen's command, tens of thousands of eunuchs and guards rushed towards the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.
