Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Facts have proved that warriors with the cultivation level of Dongxu Realm are top masters, even if they are not the ceiling of this world.

Ding Wei's speed obviously exceeded the limit that ordinary people could bear. The naked eye could not catch any trace of his movements. Even the sound of breaking through the air did not reach Lu Chen's ears. His figure surrounded by red lightning appeared above Lu Chen.

The cold light from the tip of the Miao Dao fell straight towards Lu Chen's head.

Crack!

Lightning flashed, and an extremely strong gale was about to tear Lu Chen into pieces.

However, at this moment——

Roar!
The sword of the extreme way in Lu Chen's hand suddenly shone brightly, and then the shadow behind him suddenly expanded dozens of times, forming a huge magic circle emitting golden light.

In the magic circle, accompanied by a roar, a huge golden energy arm suddenly stretched out and blocked Lu Chen's head.

Boom! ! !

Ding Wei's extremely fast knife slashed hard on the golden arm, causing an earth-shaking roar.

Then, before Lu Chen could react, the golden arm with countless cracks on its surface suddenly raised up, and Ding Wei, who had just exhausted his strength, was caught off guard and flew away. The whole person slammed into the dark water like a cannonball, creating layer after layer of thick water curtain.

Seeing this scene, a look of surprise flashed across Lu Chen's face.

But it soon returned to calm.

No surprises.

The Sword of Extreme Dao is one of the greatest treasures of the Great Xia Empire. Only a virtuous king can hold it. This sword of the Human Emperor not only symbolizes supreme power, but also possesses extremely powerful power itself.

As the true master of the Sword of Ultimate Dao, he was not surprised at what the Empress could do after she had fully mastered its power.

For example, the giant arm in front of him was obviously a technique automatically activated by the Sword of Extreme Dao and had nothing to do with him.

Even the spiritual power was not his, but was secretly hidden in him by the empress when she gave him the Sword of Extreme Dao. The same was true for the technique that was automatically activated when he was in danger.

Obviously, even with Fu Ya and Chai Hongyu, two powerful Guiyi Realm masters, as her personal guards, the empress was still not completely reassured, and instead provided Lu Chen with an additional layer of insurance in her own way.

And now, this insurance played a crucial role - once again blocking his path to ascension.

After quickly figuring it out, Lu Chen was not as angry as he was in the past when he missed a good opportunity. He just sighed and even had a strange feeling towards the empress.

After a moment, he clenched the sword of Jidao in his hand, slowly turned around, and looked at the dark water vortex not far away.

Suddenly, blood-red sword lights accompanied by red thunder suddenly flew out of the vortex and flew straight towards him.

At the same time, a golden hand holding a huge shield stretched out from the shadow behind Lu Chen again, and with a "clang", the huge shield was placed across Lu Chen.

Dangdang!
A dull thumping sound was heard, and the giant shield steadily blocked all the flying sword lights, and Lu Chen was not even hurt.

Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately realized that he and Ding Wei were both "safe".

No one can do anything to anyone.

Otherwise, the result would certainly be that Ding Wei would be killed directly by him who had ascended to heaven on the spot, without leaving any trace.

Ding Wei seemed to have realized this as well. He did not launch another attack underwater. Instead, he surfaced rather embarrassedly and stood in the distance, staring at Lu Chen.

In other words, staring at the huge energy body slowly emerging from the shadows behind Lu Chen.

It was a golden giant.

He was wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, with a longbow on his back and a quiver on his waist. He was surrounded by golden lightning and looked extremely mighty and handsome. Inside the visor, a pair of dark golden eyes flickered slightly.

Just by watching from a distance, one can feel an extremely strong pressure, which is obviously extremely extraordinary.

Lu Chen tried it and found that he had no control over the giant.

Obviously, this is a technique that belongs only to Jiang Chengwan, and it will only be activated when he is in crisis to ensure that he is safe.

As for the usage restrictions, number of times, cost, duration, etc. of the technique, only Jiang Chengwan himself knows.

Ding Wei no longer had the ease on his face, and he couldn't say anything to show that he was sure of defeating Lu Chen.

He just stared quietly at the golden giant who was protecting Lu Chen tightly, and an expression of unwillingness and helplessness gradually appeared on his face.

However, deep in his eyes, there was an inexplicable flash of relief, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are worthy of being the most favored minister of Daxia today and the future emperor of Daxia."

After a while, as if realizing something, Ding Wei spoke slowly.

"Even the legendary [Sage of the Supreme Dao], the Taichu Dao method that surpasses the legacy of the saints, was willing to be given to you by the Queen for self-defense. She is really very good to you. Even a proper couple or Taoist couple can't do this, right?"

"Tsk tsk. If this gets out and those big shots who hate her to the core know that a dignified empress doesn't even have the Taichu Dao to protect herself, and now Saint King Cangming is not in Beijing, hehe..."

At this point, his tone inexplicably became somewhat subtle.

"Junior brother, do you think those wealthy people who have been rich for generations will have any inappropriate thoughts because of this?"

"There are just as many people targeting that erratic and rebellious emperor as there are junior brother like you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly fixed.

The Supreme Saint
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the extremely powerful golden giant above his head, his expression gradually becoming heavy.

As the most senior official in Daxia, he naturally knew what those four words meant.

I've only heard of it, but never seen it.

At first he didn't think about it that way, because the thought of the empress handing over her most powerful means of life-saving to a minister and putting herself in danger seemed a fantasy.

but now
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

No, I have to go back to Beijing as soon as possible!
At this moment, Ding Wei suddenly raised his hand and slowly put the Miao Dao in his hand back into the sheath.

"Junior brother, you must take good care of your valuable head. If someone else gets there first, I will suffer a great loss."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a scroll from his arms and said, "After all, it took me a lot of effort to get your head."

"You have always been kind and benevolent. You will not sit idly by and watch me, your senior brother, suffer a great loss, right?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Chen always felt that the tone of his words “it took a lot of effort” was a bit heavy.

Then, before he could think more, the scroll in Ding Wei's hand suddenly burst into a black light, completely enveloping him in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the black light disappeared without a trace.

Along with it, Ding Wei's meaningful face also disappeared. (End of this chapter)
