Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze looked grim, holding the sword in both hands, trying his best to resist. His sword skills were exquisite, and his moves were as fast as lightning.

There were flashes of swords and splashes of blood all around. Men in black were constantly chopped to the ground, wailing.

But the enemy is numerous and we are few, how can we defeat them alone?

Chu Ze gradually felt exhausted, panting and sweating profusely.

At the critical moment, a delicate voice suddenly rang out: "General Chu, take it!"

A thin figure broke through the air and rushed straight towards Chu Ze.

Chu Ze was shocked and quickly blocked the attack. The two men's weapons collided with a loud bang.

The man pushed hard, and Chu Ze staggered and took several steps back, almost falling. With the light of the fire, Chu Ze could see the man's face clearly.

"Miss Shen!" Chu Ze was surprised and delighted, his eyes shining and his heart pounding.

Shen Qingwu put away her sword and showed a relieved smile on her face: "General Chu, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Yan Shifan was furious when he saw this and shouted, "Shen Qingwu, you bitch!"

"So he is colluding with the traitors and plotting a rebellion! Come, arrest him!"

The men in black responded and rushed towards Shen Qingwu like a tide.

Shen Qingwu snorted softly, her sword-like eyebrows raised, her starry eyes widened, and she shouted delicately. The long sword in her hand was like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, flashing with silver light.

Wherever the sword pointed, the men in black fell to the ground one after another, blood splattered everywhere, and wailing filled the air.

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he saw this, and rushed forward with his sword, his sword energy running wild. His moves were fierce, and his swords were deadly. The man in black was no match for his sharpness, and retreated like a tide.

The two of them joined forces, like gods descending from heaven. The swords shone like rainbows, the cold light was fierce, and the men in black fell to the ground one after another, wailing everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Shifan was terrified and turned around to flee.

Chu Ze shouted and flew up, swinging his sword with a flash of cold light.

Yan Shifan felt a piercing chill on his back. When he turned around, he saw the sword was right in front of him. He was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to dodge.

With a crisp sound, the sword fell, Yan Shifan's left ear flew off, and blood flowed. He screamed in pain, covered his bloody wound, and stumbled away.

A moment later, there were only corpses on the ground in the ruined temple, and blood flowed like a river, which was horrifying to see.

Chu Ze sheathed his sword and stared at Shen Qingwu, feeling mixed emotions: "Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"

Shen Qingwu smiled, her eyes lingering: "Thanks to General Chu's rescue, I was able to escape danger. General, what about you? Have you found out the truth about the palace coup?"

Chu Ze shook his head and sighed: "The palace coup case is full of doubts, and I'm afraid there is something fishy going on. I am about to disguise myself and sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate the matter up close."

Shen Qingwu frowned and said, "Prime Minister Yan Song is the most treacherous minister in the dynasty, and the guards are tight."

"General, this is too dangerous. Why don't we go together so we can take care of each other."

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and held Shen Qingwu's jade hand tightly: "I am very pleased to have the help of the young lady. Let's set off now and get to the bottom of this matter!"

Shen Qingwu smiled and held Chu Ze's hand back: "Don't worry, General. We will be together through life and death, and share weal and woe!"

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in their eyes. At this moment, it seemed that only they were left in the world.

After a long time, Chu Ze reluctantly let go of Shen Qingwu's hand.

He turned to Zhang Kun and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you for your help this time."

"Go and report to the Sect Master immediately, and tell him that Miss Shen and I have entered the capital and are secretly investigating the palace coup. If there is any progress, I will inform you immediately!"

Zhang Kun accepted the order and bowed to take his leave. Chu Ze and Shen Qingwu walked out of the ruined temple quickly.

The moonlight was like water, and the cold wind was bleak. Under the cover of night, the two quietly walked through the streets and alleys of the capital.

Soon, a magnificent mansion appeared in front of them. It had high walls and a majestic gatehouse. Dozens of imperial guards were holding spears, their eyes were sharp, and they were ready for battle. "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chu Ze whispered, "We will sneak in through the back door and be careful."

Shen Qingwu nodded. The two of them went around to the back door of the mansion and saw a small door ajar with no guards.

Chu Ze understood, gently pushed open the small door and slipped in.

Shen Qingwu followed closely behind him, and the faint fragrance of her body lingered in his nose, making him distracted.

The two men sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and listened carefully. It was quiet all around, with the occasional sound of insects.

The cold moonlight shines on the eaves of the corridor, casting shadowy figures.

"Huh? What is that?" Shen Qingwu suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a small house not far ahead.

I saw a faint candlelight coming through the window of the cottage.

The two figures swayed from time to time in the flickering candlelight, and intermittent voices could be heard faintly.

Chu Ze's eyes fixed, he quietly approached the window and listened attentively.

Shen Qingwu also held her breath and concentrated, staying close to Chu Ze.

"How's the investigation into the palace coup going?" An old voice came, with a majestic aura.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I have captured all the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Another younger voice replied respectfully: "Even the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect has fallen into our hands."

"Humph, what a great Demonic Sect! How dare you collude with foreign nations and plot a rebellion!" The old man snorted coldly, "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, stop quibbling!"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please be advised. The Demon Sect has always acted uprightly and has absolutely no intention of treason," the young man argued.

"Nonsense!" The old man was furious: "The imperial court has issued an order to attack you, and you still dare to deny it?"

"Someone, drag them all out and give them forty lashes!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Chu Ze and Shen Qingwu looked at each other, both with shock in their eyes.

It turned out that Yan Song had already wiped out the Tianmo Sect, and even the sect leader fell into his hands.

It seems that there is indeed another hidden story behind this palace coup!

Shen Qingwu frowned and whispered, "General Chu, it seems that we must find out the truth as soon as possible and rescue the sect leader."

Chu Ze nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

"Who's sneaking around here? Catch him!"

Dozens of imperial guards came swarming in holding torches, and the leader was Yan Shifan!
"Yan Shifan!" Chu Ze's face darkened and he put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

Yan Shifan sneered, "Haha, Chu Ze, you traitor, you caused me to lose an ear. Today I will tear you into pieces! Come on, capture me!"

The imperial guards rushed forward, torches waving, swords flashing, and sabers flaring.

Chu Ze made a prompt decision and grabbed Shen Qingwu's hand: "Let's go!"

The two men flew up and flew over the heads of the imperial guards like a startled wild goose. The wind whistled and their clothes fluttered.

The imperial guards were horrified and reached out to grab him in panic.

However, Chu Ze and the other man were swift and moved quickly among the crowd like ghosts, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Asshole! Why don't you chase them? You must bring those two bitches back to me!" Yan Shifan was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed.

The imperial guards followed the order and chased them everywhere. However, Chu Ze and Shen Qingwu had already fled without a trace. (End of this chapter)
