In the end, even these black-armored soldiers were frightened.
"Snap! Snap! ..."
Chen Kuang held the zither and walked forward step by step. There were stars shining above his head and blood rippling under his feet. The layer of blood mud he stepped on made a strange sound.
There were broken limbs and arms everywhere, but the wounds on Chen Kuang's body were healing rapidly, without even leaving any traces. Such a terrible contrast suddenly increased people's psychological pressure.
In front of him, countless armored soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom retreated little by little with his footsteps, and their hands holding their weapons trembled violently.
"Bang!"
The first person to drop his weapon appeared, and the wave began to spread rapidly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Starting from the circle of soldiers close to Chen Kuang, countless people threw their weapons to the ground, turned around and started to run away.
"Don't kill me... Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!"
"Kill, kill the God... the reincarnation of the God of Kill! Run!"
The soldiers began to call Chen Kuang the "God of Killing" and transferred their fear of Huo Hengxuan onto him, so the speed of their retreat increased even more.
It was as if they had forgotten in an instant how they had despised and insulted Huo Hengxuan when he was in the cell.
Chen Kuang seemed to be lost in thought.
So this is how Huo Hengxuan got his nickname...
He had only used the Grass-Cutting Song once, but it had already caused tens of thousands of people to develop a psychological fear of him.
This old fellow has been the killing god of Liang State for a full forty years!
It is hard to count how many lives he has taken.
It is no wonder that although Liang State was not strong, it was able to maintain its place for so long in this chaotic world. Huo Hengxuan alone was enough to shock everyone, and he fought his way to the top.
However, now is not the time to lament such things.
Chen Kuang walked through the army and, under the frightened gazes of the remaining soldiers, he walked up the steps in front of the Jinghe Hall in the imperial palace.
The sword in his mind had completely turned blood red, and it looked so solemn that it seemed as if it would drip blood at any time.
It exudes a terrifying and ominous bloody smell.
One sword is made, and thousands of bones are withered.
The blood-red light on this sword was almost demonic, and just looking at it would give people goosebumps.
But Chen Kuang curled the corners of his mouth, because the sword had fallen according to his will, piercing into Bai Fen's body, and tearing his internal organs into pieces.
Even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured!
Chen Kuang walked into the Jinghe Hall and raised his head. Sure enough, he saw the head hanging in the center of the caisson, inserted in the position where the dragon head should have been.
That was the head of Su Yu, the last emperor of Liang.
In fact, this was the first time Chen Kuang saw Su Yu's appearance.
After all, before this, he was a real blind man.
This emperor, who is mostly regarded as a tyrant, does not look as fat and evil as the popular stereotype has it.
On the contrary, although he is nearly forty years old, he still has a sense of elegance and refinement, thin and well-defined, more like a romantic scholar.
"Boom..."
The earth shook.
The battle between the saints above the imperial city has once again come to an end.
The palace was shaking inside and out, and numerous cracks appeared on the ground and walls.
Chen Kuang narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the head in the caisson in the starlight, but he found no trace of the shadow.
Su Yu's body was just like Chen Kuang's body in the illusion, without any shadow!
Chen Kuang didn't choose this path just randomly.
Instead, he wanted to stop by to confirm the strange situation about Su Yu that the little princess had mentioned.
Why did Su Yu’s shadow disappear?
If Chen Kuang's body was found, it might be because the illusion was unable to handle the identity of the time traveler, causing an unfixable bug.
So what about Su Yu? Is he also a bug?
Chen Kuang stood in this familiar yet unfamiliar palace, with doubts in his mind but no answers.
"So that's what you came here for?"
A middle-aged scholar suddenly walked in, stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Kuang, and looked at Su Yu's head: "You must be wondering why he has no shadow."
Chen Kuang was startled, but he quickly concealed it and said calmly, "Do you know the answer?"
The illusion has not been reset, so the mother and daughter should be fine for the time being.
"Don't worry, I've already sent His Highness and Madam Chu to Liberty Hill."
Zhang Zhizhou paused and said, "I don't have the answer you want. I just followed here out of pure curiosity."
Chen Kuang rolled his eyes.
He appeared mysterious and spoke with confidence, and he thought that this senior brother from Freedom Mountain really knew something.
"but."
Zhang Zhizhou's eyes were solemn. "Since the establishment of the Imperial Preceptor's Office, Su Yu has never attended court again, and almost no ministers have ever met him in person."
"I originally thought he was just too incompetent to care about state affairs."
"Now it seems that this might be an attempt to cover up his abnormality."
The "abnormality" here naturally refers to the absence of a shadow.
Chen Kuang was stunned.
I'd forgotten that Zhang Zhizhou had previously served as an official in the Liang Kingdom. He probably knew the most about court affairs, except for Huo Hengxuan.
Could it be that Su Yu's shadow had already disappeared before he died?!
Speaking of which, the Imperial Master's Mansion...
Chen Kuang frowned.
He had indeed vaguely heard that Su Yu had set up such an organization specifically for seeking immortals and asking for the way.
