Section V

Yun Qianxue exhaled softly, her heart full of gratitude: Fortunately, by His Majesty's side, there was also a general military division who understood the matter. He has a great influence on His Majesty, and if he says a word, his small life is saved.

"Your Majesty, I am surprised by another thing: according to what everyone said just now, Yun Qianxue and His Royal Highness the Prince each slapped Zichuan Xiu. What kind of palm power did you use against him?"

Yun Qianxue lowered her head and replied, "Dark palm power. 」

Prince Caton also replied, "I use the Divine and Demon Skills. 」

"That's where I'm weird. The chief military master of the demon clan was thoughtful: "The dark palm is lurking inside, and the god and demon skills are bursting out, and the two palm powers are very domineering and terrifying martial arts, and they should be killed immediately. Why is Zichuan Xiu still able to hijack His Highness Cardin well, and even hurt people with a knife?"

No one can answer this question. Governor Ross said mockingly, "Could it be that after Yun Qianxue was cut off an arm, all the previous martial arts were nullified?"

The Demon God Emperor clapped his hands, "Come in with two pieces of wood. The guard immediately went out and found two five-inch square, one-inch thick planks of nanmu and presented them. The Demon God Emperor commanded, "Give this to Caton and Yun Qianxue--you two, according to the strength of your palm at that time, slap your palm and take a look. 」

The two of them understood, and slapped their palms at the same time. There was a muffled "bang", and the plank that Prince Caton had struck shattered instantly. In an instant, all the solid nanmu that was comparable to steel was shattered into sawdust the size of a grain of rice, and the fragments were scattered everywhere, and the power was amazing.

And Yun Qianxue's palm was extremely soft, looking like a palm gently brushing on the wooden board, without making any sound. Under the blow, the planks were intact.

"Hah!" Governor Ross gloated, "And say no! Yun Qianxue, your martial arts are really useless, no wonder it seems to tickle Zi Chuanxiu...... Ha ......"

Rose's smile suddenly froze: with a gentle blow of the cloudy snow, the seemingly intact planks suddenly softened and spread out, turning into catkins-like filaments, fluttering lightly.

The room was full of martial arts masters, and at the same time applauded: "Good!" Everyone knows this truth: fierce and easy to practice, yīn strength is difficult to achieve, especially the demon physique is more suitable for those fierce martial arts. It is very difficult for Yun Qianxue to be able to train the extremely difficult yīn force to this point.

The Demon God Emperor also nodded in approval: "Very good! Yun Qianxue, after being injured, your martial arts have not retreated, but have advanced, and your palm power has become more pure, which is not easy. 」

Yun Qianxue bowed her head and agreed: "Your Majesty has won the award, and Weichen really doesn't dare to take it." 」

Heisha nodded and said, "We have all seen that the palms of His Highness Caton and His Excellency Yulin are so sharp. This can't be explained: why is Shikawa Shu okay?"

Ling Buxu, who had not made a sound, suddenly said, "Maybe it's because he is strong in martial arts and has great protective qigong?"

"Impossible. The Demon God Emperor shook his head and said, "Our Imperial Clan's Peerless Martial Arts was originally a martial art developed specifically against the human physique during thousands of years of warfare with humans. You have also seen that Yun Qianxue's dark palm power just now was specially designed for the ironclad cavalry that restrained humans on the battlefield before. Even if Zi Chuanxiu was wearing a thick layer of iron armor, our royal family would penetrate his defenses lightly and directly destroy his internal organs. No matter how powerful a human being is, as long as he is hit, he will definitely die!"

Since the Demon God Emperor, a peerless martial arts master, had spoken with such certainty, no one doubted it anymore. Kahlan spoke up, "Father, according to what you say, I think there are only two possibilities left. 」

"Tell me about it. 」

"First, Shikawa Shu is not human. He came from a higher race that did not belong to humans, possessed great strength and intelligence, but was outwardly the same as humans. Therefore, our royal family is invalid against him. 」

Karan said earnestly, but it caused a burst of laughter in the room. His father gasped with laughter and said, "How can there be such a race?"

"Yes. Kahlan whispered, "Aren't we?"

The laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone was shocked by Kalan's idea: Zi Chuan Xiu turned out to be from the royal family of the Demon Clan! This terrifying idea is enough to make people go crazy just thinking about it. Some people understand why Kalan, who has a gentle appearance, has the nickname "Mad Dog Lan", and his boldness is really boundless.

It took a long time to hear Prince Caton retort: "How is it possible...... We've all seen Zichuan Xiu's eyes, and it's obviously black!"

"Who said that our royal family must have blue eyes?" Karan showed a sly smile, "What's more, are you sure: Zichuan Xiu's eyes are really black?"

"Why don't you ......" Halfway through speaking, Caton stopped. He remembered that when he was wielding a knife to kill, for a period of time, Zi Chuanxiu's eyes became red, as red as blood, and it was terrifying to look at. Can the human eye change? He shuddered, and was silent.

Blacksa asked Kahlan, "And what do you think the second one might be?"

"Chief Military Division, Father Emperor said that our Imperial Clan's peerless knowledge was developed through thousands of years of warfare against humans. Then I thought, is it possible that in such a long period of time, the human side has also developed the martial arts to restrain our royal family?"

This idea makes more sense. Everyone set their sights on the Demon God Emperor. When it comes to martial arts, he has the most right to speak. The Demon God Emperor groaned and said, "You can restrain the Dark Palm's martial arts?...... Humans have ever had such martial arts, but ......" He looked at Heisha, the chief military division, "You can explain, military division. You know better. 」

Hei Sha nodded: "Your Majesty, do you want to say that the Lin family's Zhenguo martial arts three hundred years ago, 'Bright Ripple'?"

"Exactly. I remember that the Lin family started with the 'Bright Ripple', and relying on this set of martial arts, they repeatedly defeated the masters of our clan and established the Bright Empire. 」

"But this set of martial arts has long been lost, Your Majesty. Heisha said softly, "It was lost three hundred years ago. 」

"Why?" several voices asked at once.

Hei Sha sighed: "Although this set of martial arts is powerful, the conditions for practice are very harsh, it must be of the Bright Lin family bloodline, and it must be taught by someone - as for why this is so, because of the age, it is difficult for us to know the mystery. All I know is that the Lin family has always been not prosperous, so this martial art has not been widely spread. Since the last Emperor of Light, Lin Jianyi, died in battle in the Blue River, the Empire of Light collapsed, and this set of martial arts was lost. 」

"Master Strategist, but there are still people with the Lin family's bloodline?"

"When Lin Jianyi died in battle, his daughter Lin Fengxi, who is now the ancestor of the Heqiu Lin family, was still young and had not learned this martial art, so the martial arts were lost. As for the later Zichuan family, they picked up a little bit of the Bright Empire's moves and put them together, also saying that they were "ripple qigong", and regarded them as treasures - but in their bones, they were two completely different things, and the power of the two could not be said to be the same at all. 」

Karan pondered, "I remember that Zichuan Xiu's original name was Lin He...... Is it possible that he is a descendant of the Lin clan of the Bright Empire?"

The Chief Military Master smiled: "Second Highness, you didn't hear clearly just now: to learn the 'Bright Ripple', in addition to the Lin bloodline, someone must also teach it personally. Even if Zichuan Xiu is indeed a descendant of the Bright Empire, Lin Jianyi, the last descendant of the Bright Ripple, has been dead for more than three hundred years, and his contemporaries with Lin Jianyi have long since died, where can he find someone to teach him personally?"

"Are they all really dead?" Karan asked rhetorically.

"How can there be a fake? More than three hundred years have passed, who can not die? Unless that old monster Zuo Jiaming ......" The chief military division suddenly stopped, and it took him a long time before he said slowly, "Second Highness, what do you mean?"

"Well, that's exactly what you think. Kahlan looked indifferent, and the hippie smile did not match the Yan sùxìng of the topic he was talking about: "I want to say that at least one person who is the same age as Lin Jianyi survived. That person, according to legend, has a deep relationship with Lin Jianyi, and is also known as the unprecedented "number one master" of human beings. 」

Knowing what Kahlan meant, the demon masters present were all shocked: for the demon clan, there is a taboo name that cannot be exported, and the deepest terrible nightmare. The powerful demon army that let the last and strongest royal legion of 500,000 royal legions of the Bright Empire die on the battlefield was crushed by a human being;

Yun Qianxue lowered her head to hide the anger on her face. He couldn't suppress the stirring in his heart: Yun Long, the commander of the demon army who was killed at that time, was the ancestor of the Yun family. Every child of the Yun family was told that history as soon as he became sensible. Kill Zuo Jiaming and avenge the shame of the ancestors! For the children of the Yun family, this goal even exceeds the overall ambition of the Protoss to unify the continent - but the two are actually the same thing, if it weren't for that terrible one person and one sword, the Protoss had completed the great cause of conquering the human race and unifying the continent three hundred years ago.

The Demon God Emperor asked, "In recent years, have there been any news or rumors about the activities of the Ming King?"

Prince Caton replied, "In the last hundred years, there have been very few ...... There are rumors of "that person" appearing. There are even rumors that 'that person' is dead, otherwise with the xìng of 'that person', how can there be no movement for a hundred years?" Prince Caton said so badly that he didn't even dare to say the name of "King Zuo Jiaming".

All the demon masters hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, that's impossible! More than three hundred years have passed, and it's impossible for 'that person' to be alive." Your Highness Karan, you are too sensitive, you love to scare us, hahahahaha...... laughing loudly, a bit like a ghost-afraid night walker whistling to cheer himself up.

Kahlan pursed his lips and muttered, "Lacks the basic courage to look directly at the facts. 」

"There is such a rumor, but it has not been confirmed...... Yun Qianxue thought thoughtfully: "Two years ago, during the Third Battle of Huanchuan, Ge Sha, who served as the commander of the whole army, and his lieutenant Yun Shen were assassinated by human masters of unknown origin. --At that time, Gesha was known as the first fierce general of our clan, capable of fighting thousands of troops, but he had no power to resist the master of the human race, and I heard that he was cut off his head before he could even catch a move.

After Ge Sha's death, the deputy general Yun Shen immediately ordered his subordinates to come forward to besiege, but the heavy defense layer could not stop the opponent's rush, almost at the same time as the order was given, Yun Shen also died, and he was killed with the same blow. Then the Assassin fled, and the encirclement of thousands of guards could not stop him.

When the news spread, the morale of the soldiers was immediately shaken, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and fled, and the officers could not stop them—as if they did not stop them much, because they heard that even the officers themselves were afraid. As a result, the Far Eastern Army took the opportunity to kill, and our army was defeated. It was in that battle that His Highness Cardin fell. The identity of the mysterious human assassin has not yet been ascertained. Eyewitnesses all said: The kind of terrible martial arts that kill with a thunderous blow is very similar to the rumored methods of King Zuojia Ming, and everyone thinks that King Ming himself is coming, so they are so frightened that they collapse without a fight. 」

The generals listened attentively. The first fierce general of the Protoss was killed, the whole army was defeated, the princess fell, and the terrible King Zuo Jiaming reappeared in the world...... These were sensational news at the time. They also heard a little about the rumors of that battle, but they didn't have the detailed Yun Qianxue, who had been specifically investigated.

Heisha suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yun Qianxue, who was the general of the human army in that battle?"

"Huh?" Yun Qianxue was stunned. During the investigation, his attention was focused on the mysterious master who decided the victory, and as for the identity of the opposing general, in his opinion, it didn't matter at all. He hesitated, but honestly said, "I haven't noticed. Doesn't it matter, Master Advisor?"

"I don't know," Heisha said lightly, "I'll just ask. 」

Yun Qianxue nodded: "I'll go out and check with the information officer." After obtaining the Demon God Emperor's consent, he hurried away. When he returned, his face turned pale: "Your Majesty, military advisor, I have already found out the commander of the human side in that battle. He was—" He swallowed:

"Shikawa Shu. 」

A sudden, terrible silence enveloped the entire waiting hall.

The Demon God Emperor stood up, his face grim: "Pass the order: Mobilize all the forces of the kingdom in the Far East, and from now on, search for Zichuan Xiu throughout the Far East! Yi Qiē has the highest goal of killing Zichuan Xiu, he has been wounded, this is a rare opportunity, and he must not be allowed to become the second king of Zuo Jiaming! Rumor of officers and soldiers: If you mention Zichuan Xiu to see me, whether you live or die, I will immediately make her a marquis!"

"Yes!" The demon masters stood solemnly and replied with a bang.

"Majesty, I have issued a silence order: all participants are forbidden to divulge information about what happened on the night of March 19. The black-clad Demon Master said that no one could see his expression through the mask. He said to himself, "Could it be that Zichuan Xiu is ......?"

Even those closest to him could not hear his whispers.

The sky was not yet fully clear, and in the Feather Forest camp on the edge of the Gojicha Forest, the silence of the early morning was broken by the loud voice repeated over and over again: "Urgent Order: Your Majesty has a decree: Immediately dispatch to capture the human Jiān Shizi Chuan Xiuzhi!"

Before the demon soldiers who had been awakened from their dreams could understand what had happened, the officers had already rushed in and yelled into their ears: "Assemble! Quick, get dressed and assemble!" The ignorant demon soldiers grabbed their weapons and stumbled out of the open space, and before they could assemble, the officers kicked their butts impatiently: "Don't wait for them if you don't come! Hurry, hurry! Hurry! Go!" -- they weren't afraid that Zi Chuan Xiu would escape, but they were afraid that the great merit of catching Zi Chuan Xiu would be robbed by other troops.

The entire Feather Forest battalion moved in a frenzy like a honeycomb that had just been stabbed, and the infantry of the brigade continued to drive out of the camp and rush into the dense Gojicha forest. Armed with sharp spears, the grim-faced infantry lined up in line after column of skirmishers in the thick shade of the trees, line by line, line by line, clearing trees, bushes, grasses, paths. Dense treetops, dense grasses, shallow ravines overgrown with weeds, dark caves...... Every corner that might be hidden, the demon soldiers did not let go, they poked and swept inside with their spears, and nothing was missed.

The soldiers have been told that the guy they are searching for is a highly dangerous person, especially good at hand-to-hand combat, in order to prevent the spearmen on the first line from not being opponents, the demon archers arranged in the second line of defense are engrossed, and they immediately release their arrows at the slightest disturbance, and the result is that countless hares, pheasants, foxes, and squirrels have suffered unwarranted disasters and become an unexpected gain for the demon soldiers.

On the outskirts of the forest, large groups of cavalry troops patrolled back and forth at night, keeping a close watch, not even a single fly from their ears and eyes. Here, in order to prevent the opponent from being too strong, the ordinary demon soldiers are not opponents, and the jīng Ying team, which is composed of good players selected by Jīng, is on standby on the outside line at any time, and as soon as they receive a signal from Jǐng, they will arrive immediately.

At the same time, in the bright red glow, the messenger cavalry with the small golden flag on their backs galloped desperately, and their horses were already foaming at the mouth. They will convey the secret order of the Demon God Emperor to the royal ** team scattered all over the Far East. From east to west, from the densely forested Tussauds, Dea, Irya, Gudisha, Volyn...... All the way to the vast land of thirteen provinces, including Fumingke under the westernmost city of Valen, the 1.2 million demon army and 600,000 rebels in the Far East received the same order: "Find a seriously injured young human. Attached to the letter is a wanted portrait of Shikawa Shu - for some reason, the chief military division of the demon clan has hidden the name of Shikawa Shu in the order.

An immensely large giant began to act.
