Chapter 143 The Great Battle of Tianluo Zhao 2
With a flick of his right hand, Shao Yanzhe drew an arc in front of him with his jade hairpin pen, instantly annihilating the spiders in front of him with his literary energy.
"This, this, when did Brother Shao become so powerful?" Zhou Jiming, supporting Emperor Xirui, looked at Shao Yanzhe and saw that the other party had eliminated more than a dozen spiders in one go. His face was full of surprise.
Wen Yanqing stared thoughtfully at the literary energy that Shao Yanzhe had used, noticing that the number of golden light spots contained within the literary energy seemed to have increased significantly.
She deduced that Shao Yanzhe's increased attack power was most likely related to these golden specks.
Emperor Xirui slowly recovered from his previous weakness. After hearing Zhou Jiming's words, he subconsciously looked towards Shao Yanzhe and saw him looking like he could kill anyone in his way. He was shocked.
He couldn't help but feel a little relieved that no one had immediately come looking for trouble with him or taken his body.
It seems that taking over his body requires careful consideration.
Immediately, he frowned and looked at Shao Yanzhe with dissatisfaction, unhappy that he hadn't made a move before T.
Now, some of his guards have been injured.
But Xi Ruidi quickly composed himself. He knew that the people next to him were Shao Yanzhe's friends. If they noticed his dissatisfaction and told him, and became wary, his plan would really be impossible to carry out.
After quickly clearing away the giant spiders in front of him, Shao Yanzhe swiftly approached Gu Huiming and slammed his right hand down hard on his head.
Gu Huiming directly reached out to stop him. His current body belonged to the young Crown Prince, not the old body that was over a hundred years old and on the verge of death. He was now in his prime and looked even stronger than Shao Yanzhe.
With the added power, the body's potential was fully unleashed. Even if he couldn't master the use of literary energy, he was still a match for Shao Yanzhe.
"Why are you, an ordinary human, fighting so hard? You are no match for me. After all, I have thousands of years of cultivation, while you have only a few decades. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
As Gu Huiming spoke, he pushed Shao Yanzhe away with force.
He reached out and straightened his wrinkled outer robe, looking at the young man opposite him with a smile, as if he were offering kind advice.
"If you voluntarily relinquish the throne to me, I can swear that I will spare your life."
"So, what do you think? Would you like to consider it?"
Shao Yanzhe took several steps back, and simply smiled gently before refusing.
If it weren't for the fact that he could only go home if he became emperor, he might actually have considered it.
After all, being an emperor is no job for a human being.
Gu Huiming tilted his head slightly, then shook his head and sighed, "That's such a pity."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly formed his hands into claws, accumulating powerful strength in his palms, and then attacked Shao Yanzhe.
Shao Yanzhe was prepared, and his literary energy flowed through the jade hairpin pen to create a powerful shield in front of him.
However, Gu Huiming's attack was too powerful. The shield did not withstand his attack and was shattered after only a short time.
Shao Yanzhe was immediately sent flying by Gu Huiming, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Shao!" Zhou Jiming was extremely anxious upon seeing this. He pushed Emperor Xirui to Su Yuheng, who was standing to the side, and went to check on Shao Yanzhe's condition.
"Brother Shao, how are you?"
With Zhou Jiming's help, Shao Yanzhe stood up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly: "I'm fine."
"Brother Shao, Gu Huiming is too powerful. I'm afraid you really are no match for him. Why don't you just do as he says?"
Zhou Jiming frowned as he looked at him, but he didn't believe him. He had seen him vomit a lot of blood.
“I know you have no interest in the throne, Brother Shao. There’s no need to risk your life for it.”
Emperor Xirui, who was suddenly pushed away, was very dissatisfied. He was furious when he heard Zhou Jiming's words.
If the throne were given to Gu Huiming, then the Dayong Dynasty would truly perish.
"The throne must never be given to Gu Huiming!" he roared.
Zhou Jiming completely ignored him; in his view, human life was the most important thing.
Once the throne is gone, it's gone forever.
Suddenly, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. He leaned close to Shao Yanzhe's ear and whispered, "You're working so hard, is there some reason we don't know about it? Like what that black cat told you when it called you out last time?"
Shao Yanzhe glanced at him in surprise, not expecting that he could guess the relationship between the two.
He nodded without saying anything more.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiming did not continue to persuade him.
"I know my limits. Stay away from here so you don't get caught up in it."
Shao Yanzhe pushed Zhou Jiming back and faced Gu Huiming again.
Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Xirui couldn't help but smile.
"That's more like it!"
He couldn't help but step forward, wanting to get a clear look at the duel.
Taking advantage of this moment, Su Yuheng, who was supporting him, let go of his hand and walked to Wen Yanqing and Shen Jingzhou's side, his brows slightly furrowed.
“This can’t go on. Judging from what happened just now, Brother Shao is definitely no match for Chief Minister Gu.”
"Indeed, although Brother Shao's strength has improved a lot compared to before, it will be quite difficult for him to defeat Chief Minister Gu."
"What should we do then?"
"We have to find a way to let Brother Shao win."
Zhou Jiming looked at the battle situation over there, his eyes filled with determination.
He looked at the three of them and whispered, "Your previous guesses may be correct. Brother Shao is working so hard because he probably wants to use the throne to achieve some purpose, which is very important to him."
Wen Yanqing nodded slightly, her eyes narrowing: "I'm afraid it's related to his hometown. Otherwise, I can't guess what else could make Brother Shao work so hard."
"Aqing, I know you've always been clever. What ideas do you have now?"
"I haven't thought of anything yet."
Wen Yanqing frowned as he looked over there, then looked up slightly and stared at the sky, lost in thought.
It was only then that she realized that the once cloudless blue sky was now covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.
Just as she was about to look away, her gaze sharpened, her pupils trembled, as if she had seen something incredible.
“Look up, is it just my eyes playing tricks on me? I think, I think I see a dragon.”
Upon hearing Wen Yanqing's words, the three people beside him subconsciously looked up at the sky and were all stunned.
“I think I saw it too,” Zhou Jiming said, dumbfounded.
“I saw it too,” Su Yuheng said.
"I...I saw it too," Shen Jingzhou said, stammering slightly, a rare occurrence for him.
In the overcast sky, a golden dragon soared through the clouds. Its enormous body, covered in golden scales, moved through the clouds, and for a moment, no one knew exactly how long the dragon was.
With the appearance of this golden dragon, the giant spiders that had been attacking humans became slower in their movements.
The soldiers noticed the changes in the spider and immediately showed delight, speeding up their counterattack.
The one-sided situation, where the spider was dominating the fight, suddenly changed, and the two sides became evenly matched.
Gu Huiming looked up at the sky and saw the golden dragon weaving through the clouds, a look of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that the golden dragon, which was about to become his possession, would now appear before him unharmed.
He felt a surge of anger in his heart. If it weren't for that man in black destroying his formation, why would he have acted so hastily?
His haste caused him to lose his previous caution, and his haste has left him in a difficult situation.
He snorted coldly. The golden dragon in the sky belonged to the Dayong Dynasty, and therefore had a great suppressive effect on him.
Even with his current cultivation level, his movements were somewhat sluggish under the pressure of the golden dragon.
On the other hand, Shao Yanzhe was completely different. After the golden dragon appeared, he felt the power within his body surge, and the golden light spots contained within it also increased.
Originally, the literary energy in his body accounted for 96%, while the golden light spots only accounted for a mere 4%.
The number of golden light spots has surged, from the original four percent to thirty percent.
But it hasn't stopped yet; it's still rising.
He suddenly looked up at Gu Huiming, and with a flick of his jade hairpin pen, countless streams of literary energy, glowing with golden light, attacked Gu Huiming.
I encountered a few spiders along the way, but as soon as I touched them, they vanished into thin air as if they had never existed.
Seeing this, Gu Huiming felt a chill and changed his mind about taking the hit head-on.
He immediately turned his foot to avoid those slightly different literary styles, his eyes slowly filling with intense shock.
He could sense that the literary energy he had just encountered had actually posed a subtle threat to him!
Shao Yanzhe also noticed this, so he increased the frequency of his attacks.
Gu Huiming could only hide in a sorry state, trying to avoid being hit by the attacks.
However, his body has not yet fully adapted, and he will be attacked three out of ten times.
The literary energy was quite magical; it did not cause any harm to the prince's body, but instead affected his soul, directly damaging Gu Huiming's soul.
At this point, the Crown Prince's health became a burden for Gu Huiming.
Now, two paths lie before him.
They can either be completely eliminated within the Emperor's body, or they can abandon the Crown Prince's body to unleash their full fighting power.
These two paths were difficult for Gu Huiming to choose from, but he had to make a choice.
He suddenly closed his eyes, tilted his arms slightly, and a surge of power welled up inside him.
In the blink of an eye, black mist appeared above his head.
Seeing this, Shao Yanzhe was puzzled, not understanding what Gu Huiming wanted to do, and just stared at him warily.
His jade hairpin pen did not stop; he launched attack after attack.
Perhaps because there was so much black mist, the golden aura seemed to have no effect, and the black mist didn't seem to change at all.
It was at this moment that Gu Huiming suddenly opened his eyes, a black glint flashing in his clear black and white pupils.
Then, the prince, who had been standing, suddenly collapsed to the ground, his body powerless.
The floating black mist rapidly boiled and changed, and eight black legs covered with dense spikes emerged from the black mist.
