Chapter 84 The Battle of the Grandmasters
"It happened!"

Duke Yan looked at the "one" mark in the sky and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Duke Yan originally thought that with his master's strength, he would be able to easily "accidentally injure" Zhu Chengwu in just a few moves.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chengwu easily dodged the unexpected move.

Now, Zhu Chengwu also dodged the hidden finger that was covered by the aftermath of the collision, which was equivalent to a master's move.

It didn't matter that Zhu Chengwu dodged a move, but the problem was that Zhu Chengwu was just above him.

After Zhu Chengwu dodged, Duke Yan's powerful attack was exposed to the vast sky.

Such a strong fluctuation and such obvious traces in the sky will inevitably attract the attention of the entire Xuzhou city.

Duke Yan never imagined that a private "competition" and "failed" plan would become known to everyone before it succeeded.

Duke Yan is not worried about others!

But Zhao Yugang...

Zhao Yuguang will definitely find out and come to support us!

and…

Duke Yan looked at Zhu Chengwu several times with a hidden look in his eyes.

Brother Wu hides his secrets really well!

A unique fire-attribute attack skill at the mastery level.

In addition, there is actually a unique body movement skill that has reached the mastery level.

Duke Yan believed that there was no way he would admit his mistake!

If we say that Zhu Chengwu dodged his unexpected attack at the beginning, it can be said that Zhu Chengwu was highly vigilant and had accurate prediction!
The speed at which Zhu Chengwu left the treetop just now could not be explained by high vigilance and accurate prediction!
That must be a unique body movement skill at the highest level!
With the help of the great-level body movement skills, Zhu Chengwu's body movement speed is already faster than that of Duke Yan, who is not good at speed.

In a short period of time, Duke Yan will definitely not be able to defeat Zhu Chengwu.

And Zhao Yuguang is in Xuzhou city!

He has no chance!

"Zhu Chengyi, you are looking for death!"

Sure enough, just as Duke Yan was thinking this, the next moment, the entire Xuzhou city was filled with Zhao Yuguang’s angry roar.

Before the Zhao family produces a new master, Zhu Chengwu is the Zhao family's greatest and last hope for a safe landing!

How could Zhao Yuguang tolerate an accident happening to Zhu Chengwu at this time!
As both are masters, both reside in the capital, and both have served as ministers in the same palace for decades, Zhao Yuguang is very familiar with Duke Yan!

When the power of Duke Yan's Ananda finger cut through the sky, Zhao Yugang only needed to sense it slightly to determine the identity of the person who made the move.

From the position of the "one" in the sky, Zhao Yuguang could easily calculate the location of the person who made the move.

Duke of Yan!
Fu'an Marquis Mansion!

After thinking about it for a while, how could Zhao Yuguang not understand who Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi was targeting!
Although Zhao Yugang couldn't understand why Zhu Chengyi, the Duke of Yan who always regarded himself as neutral, suddenly took action against Zhu Chengwu?

Although Zhao Yugang had no time to think about whether Zhu Chengyi, the Duke of Yan, who was a direct descendant of the Ming King, had instructed Zhu Chengwu, what did all this mean, and what impact would it have on the current situation?
But Zhao Yuguang knew that the most important thing for him now was to leave the government office immediately and go to Fu'an Marquis Mansion to provide support and rescue Zhu Chengwu.

Otherwise, it will be too late!

It's all over!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu was stopped as soon as he started to move.

The person who stopped Zhao Yuguang was none other than Chang Qingshan, the Northwest Marquis, who suddenly appeared in Xuzhou City.

"Old Marquis, I just arrived and you're leaving!

You are looking down on me too much!

You should stay and talk to me some more!"

After Zhao Yugang, Xibei Hou's voice also echoed over the entire Xuzhou city.

"Chang family boy, you are looking for death!"

Zhao Yugang was very anxious. He didn't know how Zhu Chengwu was doing now, and how long Zhu Chengwu could hold out against the master, Duke Yan...

At this moment, Zhao Yuguang did not hold back!

Just use all your strength.

Countless skeletons appeared above the government office along with red mist. The government officials and common people who were close by could even smell the pungent smell of blood.

What kind of red mist is this?
This is clearly blood mist!
"A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

Old Marquis, don't forget it!
My Northwest Chang family is the orthodox first family of the Ming military!"

Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan saw the blood mist skeletons appearing around Zhao Yugang, his eyes moved slightly, but he was not panicked at all.

Chang Qingshan was seen practicing his skills, and a blood mist skeleton that was almost exactly the same as Zhao Yuguang's appeared around him.

"The Strategy of Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood" has a long tradition and is said to be traced back to the God of Killing in the Qin Dynasty.

During the Qin Dynasty, due to the numerous wars and the fact that Qin attached great importance to military achievements, after the God of Killing handed over "The Strategy of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood" to the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Emperor actually relaxed the control over "The Strategy of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood", allowing it to become popular in the military.

According to historical records, even some of the small soldiers in the Qin army at that time knew this magical skill.

Just for this reason, the Qin Dynasty's broad-mindedness was beyond the reach of later dynasties.

Later in the Han Dynasty, "The Strategy of Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood" was also widely circulated in the military.

Because of the previous dynasty, "The Strategy of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood" was widely circulated in the army.

Because of its adaptability, among the six dynasties in existence today, military generals all have a special liking for "The Strategy of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood".

The Chang family in the northwest and the Zhao family in the capital both have collections of this magical skill book.

Zhao Yuguang and Chang Qingshan are both masters who achieved their success by relying on this magical book.

Moreover, Zhao Yugang was the first grandmaster of the Zhao clan, and the Zhao clan became prominent because of Zhao Yugang.

For more than 300 years, the Northwest Chang Family has been an important pillar of the Ming Dynasty's military. Chang Qingshan is already the third member of the Northwest Chang Family in history to achieve the status of a master with "The Strategy of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood".

With its profound foundation, Changqingshan has enough experience from its predecessors to learn from.

Therefore, even though Zhao Yuguang took longer to become a Grandmaster than Chang Qingshan and had been comprehending "The Strategy of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood" for a longer time, Chang Qingshan did not think that he would be much worse than Zhao Yuguang in applying "The Strategy of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood".

Moreover, Chang Qingshan believes that there is a gap in talent between masters.

As for a "mediocrity" like Zhao Yuguang who has been a master for decades but has yet to become a top master, Chang Qingshan feels that the more than ten years of accumulation in his efforts to become a master are enough for him to surpass Zhao Yuguang!

Warriors are all confident!

A warrior who lacks confidence cannot become a master.

"What first family?

If you dare to hurt Wu Ge'er, I will end your three hundred years of inheritance in the Northwest Chang family today!"

Chang Qingshan is confident, but Zhao Yuguang is even more confident.

It seems like who doesn’t grow up with praise along the way?
There is a famous saying in Zhu Chengwu’s previous life’s basketball circle: Every NBA player is the Jordan in his own story.

Similarly, every master in this world is the world's number one genius in his own story!

However, although Zhao Yuguang was furious and Chang Qingshan was determined to stop Zhao Yuguang from going to Fu'an Marquis Mansion, both Zhao Yuguang and Chang Qingshan still had some rationality left.

Knowing to take off, try to minimize damage to the ground and reduce accidental injuries to the people of Xuzhou City.

As Zhao Yuguang took the first step, Chang Qingshan fought back strongly.

Citizens throughout the city of Xuzhou could see blood mist swirling above the government office and skeletons colliding...it was like the tragic scene of two armies fighting.

Although this scene may not be what they want to see.

After all, when masters fight, the common people suffer!
While many ordinary people were looking at the battle between masters above the government office in amazement, which they had never had the honor to witness in their lives.

Some smart people have already taken their families to hide in cellars, bridge holes, etc.!
Some smarter people started to leave the city with their families...

"kill!"

Seeing that the skeleton soldiers were surrounded by blood mist and unable to do anything to the enemy, Zhao Yuguang, as the "commanding marshal", took the lead in personally taking action!
After all, compared to Chang Qingshan who was obsessed with the fight, Zhao Yuguang obviously wanted to decide the winner quickly.

"Come!"

Chang Qingshan was not at all in vain and went forward head on.

Although if you want to delay it wholeheartedly, side-entanglement is a better choice.

But warriors are all brave and daring.

Zhao Yuguang dared to take the lead in attacking head-on, how could Chang Qingshan show weakness!

However, although Zhao Yugang skipped the probing phase and used all his strength and ruthlessness in every move, Chang Qingshan was no ordinary man. As both were masters, it would be difficult for Zhao Yugang to quickly decide the outcome with Chang Qingshan!
And if you are too anxious, it will be easy for Chang Qingshan to find your flaws.

Just now, Zhao Yuguang made a careless move and almost allowed Chang Qingshan to seize the opportunity and defeat him.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuguang was experienced and barely dodged it!

But he was also slightly injured!

Now Zhao Yuguang dared not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

After all, if he lost, there would be no way to rescue Zhu Chengwu!

"Brother Wu!"

While Zhao Yuguang was fighting, he glanced at Fu'an Marquis Mansion with worry in his eyes.

Then he regained his focus and fought with all his might!

Trying to defeat Evergreen Hill quickly.

...

"Did Lord Zhao and Lord Xibei fight?"

At the place where the Zhu clan members gathered, the third son of Xu Hou looked at the sky above the Xuzhou government office with shock on his face.

The battle of grandmasters!
The pinnacle battle of martial arts appeared before them without any warning.

The three sons of Xu Hou were shocked!

"Why did the Marquis of Xibei suddenly leave the Northwest? Do the king and the officials of the court know that he has left his post without permission?"

Although Princess Shou'an also had shock in her eyes, her tone revealed a questioning tone.

How young and fearless!
"snort…

My father-in-law has his own reasons for doing things! Sister Shouan doesn't need to worry about it!"

Princess Changning refuted Princess Shouan immediately.

Because of the previous debate, Princess Changning and Princess Shouan were now at odds with each other, and the vague sisterly love that they had when they were young was completely gone.

However, the younger brother of Duke Yan and the eldest son of Duke Zhao did not join in the conversation among the young people. Even most of their attention was not paid to the battle between the masters over the government office that had attracted the attention of the entire city.

Their eyes all fell on the Fu'an Marquis Mansion not far away.

There, is the starting point of this grandmaster battle.

It will also determine the outcome of this Grandmaster Battle.

In addition to them, several members of the Zhu clan were also smart and turned their attention to the Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

Among them was Zhu Chengcheng, a descendant of the Salt Marquis.

Zhu Chengcheng dared to take a big gamble and was confident that he would be valued by Marquis Fu'an once he got the opportunity to display his talents. This showed that he had the ability.

After all, even if it is just theory, it still needs theoretical support.

Several members of the Zhu clan suppressed their inner shock and looked at Duke Yan's younger brother covertly.

The powerful finger force that suddenly burst out from the Fu'an Marquis Mansion just now was very similar to the Ananda Finger that made the Duke of Yan famous.

And even if some people were not sure whether it was Ananda's finger, the three words "Zhu Chengyi" shouted by the old Marquis Zhao excitedly were heard by those who were paying attention.

"Duke Yan has arrived in Xuzhou City?
Moreover, he sneaked into the mansion of Marquis Fu'an and attacked Marquis Fu'an?"

This is the speculation of many people.

“Duke Yan is a die-hard loyalist to King Ming and has always been neutral on the surface.

This time, he was sent by King Ming and the imperial court to Xuzhou City to investigate the truth behind the assassination of Marquis Fu'an.

Now he suddenly appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he attacked Fu'an Hou...

What exactly does the Ming King mean?
Or has the Duke of Yan secretly bet on the crown prince?"

More people began to speculate and guess!

"But no matter whether this was the order of the King Ming or the Duke of Yan's own decision...

It is an indisputable fact that Duke Yan bet on the crown prince!

Otherwise, when Duke Yan appeared in Marquis Fu'an's Mansion, Marquis Xibei would not have suddenly appeared in Xuzhou City and implicated old Marquis Zhao!
They had discussed this a long time ago!
The balance of power between the Zhao family and the crown prince is tilting more and more towards the crown prince's faction!"

Many members of the Zhu clan were secretly thinking about the development of the situation, wondering whether the overall situation had been determined, and whether they should move closer to the new Ming King and pledge allegiance!
……

"Grandmaster!"

The Li family, the most aristocratic family in Xuzhou City, resides there. Li Shijie, the talented son of the Li family, jumps onto the roof, his eyes moving back and forth between the sky above the Xuzhou government office and the Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

There is desire in his eyes, and even more ambition to replace him.

"Shijie, this is a great opportunity!

There was no grandmaster born in the previous generations of my Li family, so I cannot give you the experience and guidance to become a grandmaster.

But now, watching the Grandmaster battles up close will surely give you a deeper understanding of the Grandmaster's abilities.

You are gifted with extraordinary talent and possess a rare treasure from heaven and earth - Ice Soul. You have practiced the magical skill manual "Ice Art to Return to Heaven". Once you can gain some insights into the realm of a grandmaster, it is almost certain that you will become a grandmaster!

My Li family will become great because of you!
The path that Zhao Yugang has walked, my Li family may be able to walk it again!"

The old patriarch of the Li family also appeared on the roof and stood next to Li Shijie.

When the masters fight, the weak ones are in constant fear, while the strong ones are already thinking about how to take advantage of the situation!

boom…

Just as the various forces and individuals in Xuzhou City were in a state of panic, a shocking finger force suddenly reappeared in the Mansion of Marquis Fu'an, followed by flames all over the sky.

However, Duke Yan and Zhu Chengwu fought again.

Duke Yan was hesitant at first, but when he saw Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan directly take action to entangle Zhao Yuguang.

The Duke of Yan saw the determination of the Marquis of Northwest.

Face to face, determined to break off relations.

Originally, the plan of Duke Yan and Marquis of the Northwest was just to have Marquis of the Northwest attract Zhao Yuguang's attention so that Zhao Yuguang would have no time to take care of other things!
The Duke of Yan took the opportunity to enter the mansion of Marquis Fu'an, found an excuse to "test" Marquis Fu'an, and ultimately "accidentally" deposed Marquis Fu'an, causing Marquis Fu'an to completely lose the opportunity to compete for the throne and the possibility of causing civil strife.

Afterwards, the fact was already established, and there were two masters present in the situation of one against the other. Zhao Yuguang might not necessarily go crazy, nor would he dare to fight to the death.

Of course, the Duke of Yan also planned to spare Marquis Fu'an's life to preserve the relationship between King Ming and his son.

But now there is a problem with the Duke of Yan. He has not "failing" to "dismiss" Zhu Chengwu, but has attracted the attention of Zhao Yuguang!
However, even in such a situation, Marquis Xibei acted decisively and took direct action to entangle Zhao Yuguang.

This kind of decisiveness and determination surprised the slightly hesitant Duke Yan.

This also made Duke Yan make a decision immediately.

Even the Marquis of Xibei dared to completely break off relations with the Zhao family, so why would Zhu Chengyi not dare to do so?
For the sake of Zhu family inheritance and the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chengyi doesn't mind being a bad guy for once!
Even if he killed Zhu Chengwu, Zhu Chengyi would be blamed by Prince Ming, his uncle who had done him so much good, but he couldn't care less now!

Open the bow without turning back the arrow!

Moreover, Zhu Chengyi believed that he was devoted to the country and the people and had no selfish motives at all!
Zhu Chengyi believed that his wise and decisive uncle Wang would understand his decision and actions.

"You are used to a life of luxury in the capital! You are not as decisive in killing as the Marquis of the Northwest who has lived in the border for a long time!"

Duke Yan reflected secretly in his heart.

Duke Yan understood why Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan suddenly used his internal energy to create a sound that resounded throughout the city before he took action to entangle Zhao Yuguang. It was to tell Zhu Chengyi the decision and determination of Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan, and told him to act as soon as possible.

Duke Yan pointed silently and continued to attack Zhu Chengwu.

The Duke of Yan's renewed attack went beyond what he said about "testing Zhu Chengwu's progress and skills" and also went beyond the scope of giving instructions and guidance.

Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi treated Zhu Chengwu as a real enemy!
The last fig leaf was torn off by Duke Yan!

Zhu Chengwu saw the determination and resolution of Duke Yan.

The elderly people in Xuzhou city were also fortunate enough to witness the civil war within the royal Zhu family once again!

Although, this may not be what they want to see!

Although Duke Yan had made up his mind and realized his mistake, attacking Zhu's children was against King Ming's wishes and arrangements. Duke Yan, who had a higher bottom line, would only attack Zhu Chengwu silently without saying a word.

It seems that he also understands that he is in the wrong!

"Since my brother still wants to give me some advice, Chengwu will accompany me!"

Duke Yan was silent, but Zhu Chengwu kept talking loudly, showing his presence.
