Chapter 1686 1686: Shock and Fear!
Chapter 1686 1686: Shock and Fear!
The sun gradually set.
The evening glow filled half of the sky.
This great battle lasted from sunrise to sunset.
The usually magnificent and impressive Chu Imperial City.
Now, it had turned into a ruin.
Even the iconic grand city walls of Chu Imperial City had mostly collapsed, resembling a city conquered in times of war.
Especially in the center of the city.
Blood flowed everywhere as if it were worthless.
Outside Chu Imperial City, countless onlookers witnessed this scene, with a figure lingering persistently in their minds—the young man, peerless and invincible.
"The era of the Great Origin Dynasty is about to change."
"Because of one man."
Someone gazed into the distance, murmuring to themselves.
No one would have expected that today, meant to be the day Emperor Chu showcased his power by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, would turn into such a tragic scene.
Moreover, the Nine Desolate Sword Sect and the Demon God Palace suffered heavy casualties.
Especially since several top fighters also fell in this battle.
Fallen at the hands of Qin Chen.
The Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect perished as Qin Chen exchanged the lives of numerous top fighters for his life.
The next day.
The news spread, shaking the entire Great Origin Dynasty.
No one dared to imagine what had occurred yesterday in Chu Imperial City.
The name Qin Chen, like history itself, was destined to be remembered.
In front of Emperor Chu, killing the Imperial Guardian Fang Zhan, the old Prime Minister Qi Zhengyuan, Imperial Guardian Xia Qingshan, and as a result of Shangguan Yue and the others secretly attacking Huangfu Zhao, leading to Huangfu Zhao's fall, Qin Chen flew into a rage, slaying the Azure Sky Sword King, Shangguan Yue, and Hunyuan Sword King in succession.
The two famous Sword Kings of the Nine Desolate Sword Sect became history.
Shangguan Yue, who had dominated the Nine Desolate Sword Sect for decades, also faded into dust.
The Deputy Palace Master of the Demon God Palace, Zhu Qingtian, ultimately also died at the hands of Qin Chen.
Most importantly.
In the end, Qin Chen joined Elder Shen in fiercely striking down Mo Jiqing; though when the news came out, Mo Jiqing had not actually died, it was said that when Mo Jiqing crawled out from underground, he was covered in blood, as wretched as a beggar.
This series of astonishing feats was breathtaking and exciting.
The Royal Family, Nine Desolate Sword Sect, Demon God Palace.
The Three Great Forces joined hands.
Yet they failed to retain Qin Chen and suffered heavy casualties.
Before this, if the events had not occurred, perhaps no one could have predicted this outcome?
...
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Previously, due to the establishment of the Great Origin Saint Sect, the Royal Family was at its peak, and the palace was filled with a sharp atmosphere.
But after yesterday's events.
With Chu Imperial City reduced to ruin, the atmosphere within the palace plunged to the lowest point.
Emperor Chu sat on his throne, having not slept the entire night.
Unable to sleep.
Every time he thought of the events of yesterday, he couldn't fall asleep.
After much contemplation, he still informed Zhai Tianhao and Yu TianQee about the matter.
"What happened yesterday?"
Upon receiving Emperor Chu's notice, Zhai Tianhao and Yu TianQee returned to the palace, only to see Chu Imperial City now in ruins, filled with astonishment.
The reason Emperor Chu deliberated for so long about whether to inform Zhai Tianhao was also due to this.
He was truly ashamed to disclose yesterday's events to Zhai Tianhao and Yu TianQee.
However, he also knew.
He must say it.
Meeting Zhai Tianhao's inquiry, Emperor Chu could only muster the courage and say, "Yesterday's execution was disrupted."
Zhai Tianhao frowned slightly, "What disruption?"
Emperor Chu said, "Those hostages, they were all rescued."
"Rescued? Who rescued them?" Zhai Tianhao's frown deepened.
"Qin Chen."
Although Emperor Chu was very reluctant to mention this name, he had to.
"What were you doing?!"
When Zhai Tianhao heard, he was stunned for a moment, but Yu TianQee's reaction was much bigger, perhaps because he was once humiliated by Qin Chen.
Upon hearing this, his emotions were a bit unstable, and he yelled out loud.
If anyone else had seen this, they would be very shocked.
After all, Emperor Chu was a ruler, who wouldn't be respectful?
But Yu TianQee was not at all.
Emperor Chu heard, naturally felt uncomfortable inside, but ultimately said nothing, only, "I can't be blamed for this, during the half year of his disappearance, no one knew what he went through."
"In any case, he's grown unimaginably strong."
"The Imperial Guardian Fang Zhan, Xia Qingshan, and also Qi Zhengyuan, were all slain by him on the spot."
"Are you joking with me?"
Zhai Tianhao stared at Emperor Chu in disbelief, were Fang Zhan and the others killed? In Chu Imperial City, in front of Emperor Chu?
How is that possible!
Emperor Chu shook his head, "At this moment, how could I make such jokes."
"Not only that, the two Sword Kings of the Nine Desolate Sword Sect, Azure Sky Sword King, Hunyuan Sword King, and Deputy Sect Master Shangguan Yue, and people like Zhu Qingtian from the Demon God Palace."
"All died by his hand."
"Even in the end, if it weren't for his wariness of the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army, possibly even Mo Jiqing would have died at his hand."
As Emperor Chu's words fell.
The palace fell into a short silence.
Zhai Tianhao and Yu TianQee both wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Obviously, such a large amount of information suddenly received, they couldn't react immediately.
Qi Zhengyuan, Fang Zhan, and others dying was one thing.
But how did fighters from the Nine Desolate Sword Sect, Demon God Palace also die?
Even most terrifyingly, even Mo Jiqing almost got killed?
Dazedly standing for a while.
Zhai Tianhao and Yu TianQee barely managed to react.
"He must have had some fortuitous encounter, otherwise how could he have grown so strong in half a year?"
When Yu TianQee said this, his eyes were filled with envy.
During the martial gathering, his conceited pride was crushed completely by Qin Chen, afterwards, like Zhai Tianhao, he followed Elder Zhan.
For strength, for surpassing Qin Chen, for revenge, Yu TianQee trained tirelessly day and night.
Today, he was incomparable to his former self.
But why, why could Qin Chen become so strong?
In Yu TianQee's heart, there was thick jealousy.
"We must take action against him."
After a long silence, Zhai Tianhao broke the quiet, his words seemed to signify a decision.
"Now?"
Emperor Chu was somewhat surprised, looking up at Zhai Tianhao.
Zhai Tianhao nodded, "If we don't take action now, he'll become a major trouble."
"But we haven't accomplished many tasks, wouldn't it be too forcing to act prematurely?" Emperor Chu hesitated.
Though he hoped for Qin Chen's death, he more wished for the situation to be completely under his control.
The bigger picture is more important.
Comparatively, Qin Chen was negligible.
"If we wait any longer, it'll be too late, commence the compulsory plan, starting with... the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!" Zhai Tianhao said coldly.
