He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

With this confession, Zhang Beixing finally fell into deep thought.

He couldn't help but fall into a long period of thought. The whole process of this matter seemed far from as simple as it seemed.

The person who assassinated the late emperor might have other plans.

And how did this palace maid get involved?

Countless questions flashed through Zhang Beixing's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something fishy going on.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

An unprecedented fierce aura surrounded him.

Zhang Beixing suddenly raised his head, and his sharp eyes pierced the palace maid like a sword.

"Tell the truth, or today will be your death!"

The maid was trembling with fear. She had never seen such a terrifying king.

She seemed to see the murderous intent in Zhang Beixing's eyes, condensed in the air like a substance.

"Your Majesty, I served the late emperor that night, but I did not notice anything unusual."

"I just heard someone break into the inner palace in the middle of the night, so I rushed to check."

"But I never thought that the late emperor had been plotted against and killed tragically"

The palace maid lowered her head, her tone full of helplessness and fear.

She seemed to be on the brink of death and could be killed by this terrible king at any time.

Zhang Beixing's face darkened when he heard this. He was almost certain that what the palace maid said was not the whole truth.

He made a prompt decision and smashed the food on the plate with his hand.

With a "bang", a plate of chicken flew over and hit the ground in front of the palace maid.

"Witch, how dare you quibble in front of me? Your past deeds of killing people have blocked my eyes!"

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she deeply regretted telling that lie.

She finally realized that the reason why the king was so suspicious was that he must have known everything.

She immediately knelt down with a plop, choking with sobs, "Your Majesty, I am indeed the one who secretly carried out the assassination."

"But the late emperor is my monarch. Although I am unwilling, I have no choice."

"Your Majesty has been harmed, please forgive me."

The palace maid spoke sincerely and pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Beixing, however, just had a cold expression and looked disdainful.

He looked coldly at the palace maid kneeling and crying, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, I understand."

"But there is one thing I don't understand. You are an expert in assassination, but you were caught. Isn't that too much of a mistake?"

The palace maid was suddenly speechless. She never expected that Zhang Beixing would ask such a question.

Seeing that she was speechless, Zhang Beixing smiled coldly: "It seems that you are not a ruthless person. It's time to tell the truth, right?"

"Forget it. I have a plan in mind today."

"I will investigate the truth of this matter from now on, and then I will know the severity of the matter and make a decision."

After saying this, Zhang Beixing waved his hand and sent the palace maid away.

She was left shivering in the corridor, not knowing what fate she would face.

At this moment, the figure of the listening persuasion system suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Beixing stepped forward respectfully. He had a vague feeling that there must be something else going on.

"Zhang'er, have you resolved the doubts in your mind?" Hearing the advice, the system smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Zhang Beixing shook his head: "Although the palace maid has confessed, I still have doubts in my heart."

"It seems that there is something else going on here."

After listening to the advice, the system nodded slowly: "Yes, this matter is not as simple as an ordinary assassination."

“And from what I know.”

"In addition to her martial arts, this palace maid seems to have another unique skill."

"Such a master must have someone behind him, right?"

Zhang Beixing was shocked when he heard this: "Are you serious? That palace maid actually has such a skill. I really underestimated her!"

"Who is the mastermind behind this?"

The system shook its head after hearing the advice: "Let's not talk about this for now. You and I should first consolidate our foundation and take control of the power."

"As for the whereabouts of the palace maid, the truth will come out."

"When the time is right, I will guide you."

These words shocked Zhang Beixing, and he suddenly realized that you had already predicted everything!

He immediately bowed deeply to the system: "Thank you for your advice, I will keep it in mind!"

"I will definitely follow your lead in the future and remember your teachings!"

After hearing the advice, the system nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in its eyes.

He turned and left, his steps steady and powerful, as if he had everything under control.

At this time, Richard and Elena also hurried over, looking extremely anxious.

"My Lord! Something bad has happened!"

Richard took a step forward and knelt on his knees: "The late emperor's cronies have gathered together and are openly provoking our army!"

"They actually openly defied your royal decree and claimed that they wanted to take back the throne!"

After hearing this, Zhang Beixing's face suddenly darkened.

Killing intent flashed across his eyes, frightening the servants present into silence.

"You are so arrogant, do you still want to be my enemy?"

"Pass my order, order all the rebels to be killed on the spot!"

"Don't leave any one alive, kill them all!"

"Yes!"

Richard roared and immediately gave the death order.

Then there was a commotion outside, followed by continuous crying, as if countless people were being slaughtered.

Zhang Beixing stayed out of the matter, pacing with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy and cold.

There was no warmth in his eyes anymore, only pure coldness and ruthlessness.

Seeing this, Elena couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

She had never imagined that her lord could be so ruthless and cruel that he would not even spare his own people.

"My Lord, you are going too far."

She finally couldn't help but speak out her advice, her voice trembling slightly.

A strong murderous intent suddenly came towards her, and Elena felt her throat tighten and she could hardly breathe.

"Too much?"

A cold light flashed in the depths of Zhang Beixing's eyes: "I am the master of destiny, how could I shoot without a purpose?"

"Such a disloyal and unfilial person spreads evil words to confuse the people. No wonder I am furious!"

Elena was so frightened that she could hardly speak. She could only kneel on the ground in pain, saying nothing.

When Richard heard this, his body trembled involuntarily.

This lord was so ruthless and cruel that he even ignored his own confidants.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared, and secretly thanked God that he had never disobeyed his lord's orders.

Otherwise, I would have suffered the same fate today.

Just then, there was another commotion outside.

A guard came forward, his body covered in blood, his face horrified: "My lord, the late emperor's cronies have all been wiped out!"

"But there is still one person. He... He has such a skill that all our soldiers were annihilated!"

"This person calls himself 'Blood Shadow Clone', there must be someone behind this!"

"Blood Shadow Clone?"

When Zhang Beixing heard these four words, a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes.

I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember where it is.

"I allow him to see her!" Zhang Beixing ordered calmly. Upon hearing this, the guard seemed to be stunned by something and could not speak for a long time.

Do you want this 'blood shadow clone' who can cover the sky with one hand to come and see the lord?

Isn't that digging your own grave?

"Do you know how strong he is?" The guard couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is said that he disappears without a trace and kills people as easily as cutting grass. Thousands of our elite soldiers were killed!"

"Aren't you afraid of falling into his trap?!"

Zhang Beixing snorted coldly and smiled faintly: "How could I be timid and afraid of a small assassin?"

"Pass the order, and tell him to show up! I will interrogate him personally!"

"do you understand?!"

Seeing their lord being so decisive, everyone around him felt uneasy.

They are sure that their lord will be in big trouble this time!
But once the majesty of this monarch is shaken, greater disaster will surely come.

So they could only grit their teeth, suppress the anxiety in their hearts, and hurriedly pass on the order.

Soon, a dull sound of footsteps came from afar and finally stopped in front of the palace gate.

A golden light flashed, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Beixing.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm, as if he didn't take Zhang Beixing seriously at all.

Looking at his black robe and long hair, he looks like a gangster.

Seeing this, Elena and Richard's hearts were pounding and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Although both of them had extremely strong spiritual awareness, the aura of the person in front of them was very unfamiliar, and it was obvious that he had an extraordinary background.

"Blood Shadow Clone! Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in my court?"

Zhang Beixing spoke calmly with a calm tone, as if he had no fear of the strong man in front of him.

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, seeming to be very disdainful of Zhang Beixing's attitude.

"How dare you, a mere brat, act so presumptuously in front of me?"

"It seems that you are still too young and too ignorant!"

"Do you know that I once roamed the mountains and rivers eight years ago and destroyed ten major sects single-handedly?"

"Although there are some cowards in the court, I will never be underestimated for the first time!"

"You think you can stop me just by your ability? That's wishful thinking!"

The man's tone was filled with frightening arrogance and conceit.

It seemed as if he was the only truly strong man in the entire world.

Zhang Beixing shook his head slightly, with a sneer of disdain on his lips.

"Ah? He's just a small fry whose origins are unknown!"

"It's really an honor for you to act wild in front of me!"

"But fortunately, I'm in a good mood today."

"Otherwise you would have died long ago!"

"Anyway, just be honest and accept the trial, okay?"

Zhang Beixing was calm and composed, as if he was sitting on a dragon throne, looking down at the tiny pawns.

There was no trace of fear in his eyes, but instead there was disdain and contempt.

The man who called himself Blood Shadow Clone was stunned when he heard him say this.

He never expected that the new emperor of the capital was so arrogant!
It's ridiculous that I despise myself so much!

"Humph! You arrogant boy, just wait for me!"

"Look how I teach you a lesson today!"

The man snorted coldly, his figure immediately became blurred, and a murderous intent suddenly swept across the entire place!
Richard and Elena suddenly felt dizzy and felt a strong pressure coming towards them like a substance.

It’s hard to imagine that this came from an ordinary person!
Under the pressure of this overwhelming murderous intent, the two of them swayed and almost fell to the ground.

However, at this moment, a crisp applause rang in my ears.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Beixing walking forward fearlessly. His eyes were as clear as mirrors and he was not moved by the murderous intent at all.

"Is that all? Is this the legendary 'Blood Shadow Clone'?"

"It's really ridiculous!" Zhang Beixing frowned and sneered, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.

"Today I will let you know who the real strong man in this world is!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked, and a golden light shone brightly on his palm.

The man was instantly pinned to the ground by a devastating force, unable to even struggle.

In an instant, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

It turned out that Zhang Beixing's palm power actually pierced the man's heart!

Blood gushed out like a spring, and the self-important "Blood Shadow Clone" instantly turned pale.

He had never expected that the new king's strength was so terrifying and impossible to guard against!

"How is this possible?"

The man's eyes widened, blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his voice was already weak and powerless.

Even the murderous intent was gone, and the whole person felt as if his throat had been strangled.

Zhang Beixing looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disdain and mockery.

"How dare you, a mere minion, act so arrogantly in front of me?"

He looked down at the man as if he was looking at an ant waiting to be slaughtered.

"Now do you know what a truly strong person is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Beixing suddenly raised his hand, and an earth-shaking force suddenly burst out!

"Boom!"

There was a deafening noise, and the man's body seemed to be torn apart alive by an invisible force!
Bones were broken, flesh and blood were blurred, and almost gushed out.

This scene instantly made everyone present pale and terrified!
Elena and Richard felt a huge shock. Was this still the lord they were familiar with?

The power he just displayed didn't seem to come from human power at all, it was simply divine power!
Even the strong man who called himself "Blood Shadow Clone" was as miserable as an ant in front of Zhang Beixing!
The two were so horrified that they were completely unable to describe the scene before them in words.

Is this really the lord they are familiar with?

Or has the lord been hiding his strength and never fully displayed it?
"Lord"

Elena called out in a trembling voice, her legs already starting to feel weak.

She covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.

Richard had already knelt on his knees, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

Only at this moment did he finally realize that they might have been kept in the dark by their lord.

The lord's true strength is probably far beyond their imagination!

At this moment, a surge of power suddenly erupted in the hall.

That breath instantly made everyone kneel on the ground, fearing that they would die on the spot if they were not careful!
Zhang Beixing was seen putting his hands together and chanting Buddhist mantras.

Brilliant golden light flowed around his body.

Gradually, Zhang Beixing's figure began to grow larger, and a huge shadow of a Buddha statue emerged behind him!

The Buddha statue was several feet tall, shining with golden light, solemn and majestic, which made people feel awe involuntarily.

"Did you see it? This is the real power of Buddha!"

Zhang Beixing's voice echoed in the hall like thunder at this moment.

The voice was cold and majestic, making people feel creepy involuntarily.

"Today I will let you see what a truly powerful person is!"

Before he finished speaking, the huge Buddha statue suddenly moved!
I saw it slowly raised its palm and slapped the man on the ground hard.

"Stop! Spare my life!"

The man screamed madly, blood gushing out of his mouth.

However, in the face of this terrifying force, his wailing seemed so small and helpless.

Boom!
With a deafening bang, the man's body fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

A huge dent suddenly appeared on the originally hard ground, and it was filled with flying dust.

Zhang Beixing stood with his hands behind his back, and wherever he looked, people were filled with awe. (End of this chapter)
