A few people, including the perceptive Langtao, Haitang Duoduo, etc., noticed the difference and immediately knew that the battle had reached the most critical moment.
Ku He frantically called upon the nuclear radiation energy between heaven and earth, maintaining a saturation mode, while Zhou Chen controlled his true energy and concentrated his sword intent.
All the warriors in the palace could clearly feel the terrifying sword intent, as if it was going to destroy the heaven and earth. In contrast, there was an incomparable and terrifying true qi.
Zhou Chen and Ku He attacked at the same time, one swinging a sword and the other swinging a palm.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split, and the sword energy rushed straight into the sky...
All the spectators were stunned, looking at the scene happening before their eyes in disbelief, and simply could not believe that this was the power that could be created by human power.
Zhou Chen saw a crack over a hundred feet long in front of him. All the palaces it passed through were cut in half, affecting several palaces.
Behind Zhou Chen, a long gully appeared, and the building behind him had completely collapsed.
Zhan Doudou, the Emperor of Northern Qi, was already in deep shock.
"The Grand Master is indeed not a human being, but a divine being on earth who has the power to destroy cities and nations!!!"
Haitang Duoduo deeply agrees: "It is indeed not a human."
Lang Tao's black eyes seemed to become even thicker. With such terrifying power, he felt that even if he did not sleep for twelve hours a day and practiced hard, he would probably never be able to achieve it in his lifetime, right?
Shen Zhong was even more frightened. Although everything was for Northern Qi, he also valued his life very much. Fortunately, he did not make the mistake of provoking the grandmaster. Otherwise, with his strength, killing him would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
Almost everyone present was seeing a fight between grandmasters for the first time. They were all shocked by the terror of the grandmasters. There was only awe in their hearts, without any hostile thoughts.
"Is it over? Who won?"
In the blink of an eye, the two fighting people disappeared, which made everyone present very confused.
There were very few witnesses to this battle between the great masters, but after tonight, the news was bound to be revealed. The world would soon know that two great masters had fought each other in the Northern Qi Imperial Palace and destroyed countless palace buildings in the imperial city.
Langtao and Haitang Duoduo rushed into the battlefield and soon discovered clues.
"Master is injured."
"That person should be injured too."
They were indeed not mistaken. Zhou Chen and Ku He were both injured. Although their last attack was not intended to absolutely kill them, it was still a powerful attack by the grandmaster, and injuries were inevitable. After all, the grandmaster is still a mortal body.
Zhan Doudou was a little disappointed that he didn't see the result, but he soon felt relieved. Perhaps this was the best result.
Even a layman like her could see some clues. These two great masters were already relatively restrained, otherwise it would not only destroy these palaces, but there would also be heavy casualties inside and outside the imperial palace.
She also secretly made a decision in her heart that in the future, unless it was a life-and-death crisis, she would never provoke the Grandmaster. The existence of the Grandmaster was unmatched by human power.
Zhan Pianpian, who lived in the harem, could naturally hear the huge commotion in the palace.
She was kneeling in her bedroom at this moment, with her hands clasped together, muttering and praying, hoping that Zhou Chen would be alright, and praying that the Imperial Uncle would not be injured...
"It will be fine. The emperor's uncle is a martial arts master, and Zhou Chen is full of tricks. They will be fine."
"Full of tricks? So this is how I look to you."
Zhan Pianpian opened her eyes in surprise, and then saw Zhou Chen sitting in her bedroom at some point.
She stood up excitedly, walked quickly towards Zhou Chen, and looked at him carefully.
"That's great, you're okay, that's really great."
"puff!"
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Chen suddenly vomited blood, which scared her half to death.
"Ah! Zhou Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. I'm going to call the imperial physician now. Wait for me..."
Zhou Chen grabbed Zhan Pianpian who was about to call the imperial physician, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and revealed a gentle smile.
"No need to call the doctor, I'm fine, I'll be fine after healing here."
But Zhan Pianpian was still worried: "You have vomited blood, but you are still okay. Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let them hurt you."
Zhou Chen shook his head gently: "It's really okay, I want to meditate to heal my wounds, please keep an eye on me, I only trust you."
Zhan Pianpian nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, you should heal your wounds quickly, I will stay here to protect you and won't go anywhere. If anyone wants to hurt you, they can only do so by stepping over my dead body."
Zhou Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said gently: "Then I will leave my life to you."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds.
He was indeed injured in this battle, but Ku He was no less seriously injured than him. Even though Ku He's Tianyi Dao mental method was special, it was still not easy for him to bear that sword.
Ku He is indeed powerful. He can call upon the nuclear radiation energy between heaven and earth for his own use, just like the immortal cultivators in novels who mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to attack.
However, the amount of true qi in Ku He's body has an upper limit, which is why he was blown up by Emperor Qing's kingly true qi in the original novel.
Even though he could transform into a perfect defense mode, Zhou Chen's sword was not just a physical attack, it also contained a spiritual sword impact.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had begun to heal his wounds, Zhan Pianpian did not dare to relax at all. She picked up the lamp beside her and looked around vigilantly, as if an enemy might attack at any time.
Zhou Chen's self-created Ruyi Jin also incorporates the characteristics of Yangzhou's slow internal force. It has a powerful recovery ability like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, and has an excellent healing effect.
Zhou Chen and Ku He's final attack also brought about a huge impact. The soaring sword intent and the fluctuations of true energy in the sky could not be concealed at all.
After the battle, countless people gathered outside the palace. If it weren't for the fact that the palace was guarded by the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there would probably be brave people who rushed into the palace.
The battle between the two masters in the imperial palace soon spread out of the palace, causing an even greater shock.
The capital city should have been quiet late at night, but this night it became extremely lively and noisy.
Chapter 1425: The Silly Princess, the Little Emperor's Recruitment
Many people stayed awake that night, especially in the palace, where everyone from the emperor and the empress dowager to the palace maids and eunuchs were busy cleaning up the mess.
The battle between two people ended up with tens of thousands of people suffering. It has to be said that the destructive power of the grandmaster is truly terrifying.
According to statistics, in this battle, more than ten palaces and countless buildings were destroyed within the imperial palace, including some palace maids and eunuchs who were affected. This was despite the fact that they had been prepared in advance. If not for the arrangements, there would not have been just injuries, but countless deaths and wounds.
After reading these statistical data, Zhan Doudou felt his forehead swelling. If the temple was to be renovated, it would definitely not be completed without several million taels of silver.
However, when she thought of what Zhou Chen gave her, she felt relieved again. What was destroyed could be repaired, but what Zhou Chen gave her was an endless supply of wealth. Judging from the gold and silver alone, she had obviously made a fortune.
It's just that the commotion last night was too loud, and she didn't know how much of an impact it would have on the royal family in the future, but she had calculated that even if it would cause some waves, it should be controllable.
Ku He has returned to his secluded place. After Haitang Duoduo confirmed that Ku He was only injured and was not in danger, she returned to the palace and explained the situation to Zhan Doudou.
It was daybreak. Zhan Doudou, who had not slept all night, walked out of the hall and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky. The horrific battle of last night was still echoing in his mind.
This was the first time she actually saw a battle between grandmasters, and she felt that her comment of "the most sacred in the world" was absolutely not an exaggeration.
Thinking that Zhou Chen was from Qing, she couldn't help but clench her fists with a complicated expression.
Nanqing already had two grandmasters, and now there is an even younger Zhou Chen. How come Nanqing can have three grandmasters, while Da Qi, which has always been the orthodox place, has only one grandmaster?
Originally, there were four grand masters in the world, two in Nanqing, one in Beiqi, and one in Dongyi City. Although it was not stated explicitly, the two grand masters of Beiqi and Dongyi City had obviously reached a tacit understanding to jointly fight against the gradually rising Nanqing.
But now there is one more grandmaster, a grandmaster from Nanqing, and the balance that was maintained with great difficulty was broken in an instant.
Three grand masters versus two grand masters, the result is obvious. As the emperor of Da Qi, how could she not be worried.
"We must win over Zhou Chen. Even if we can't bring him to Da Qi, we must not let him stand against Da Qi."
Thinking of this, she became more determined and couldn't help but think of her imperial sister. Zhou Chen obviously treated her imperial sister differently. This was an opportunity.
A light sound of footsteps was heard, and Haitang Duoduo walked to Zhan Doudou's side.
Their relationship is not just that of a monarch and his subject, they are also aunt and niece, and they are also good friends who grew up together and have a very close relationship.
"How is the Imperial Uncle?"
"I was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious. My master asked me to tell you that this young man is very powerful and it's best not to make an enemy of him."
Haitang Duoduo conveyed her master's words, and Zhan Doudou was not surprised.
"Even the Emperor's great uncle thinks so."
"Little Sister, do you think we can bring him over to our Da Qi side? He is only an earl in Nan Qing."
Haitang Duoduo said: "I really don't understand this kind of thing, but it's not that easy to win over a grandmaster."
"Of course I know. He is less than twenty years old. With the ability of a Grandmaster, he can probably live for more than a hundred years. If he can join the Great Qi, he can definitely protect the Great Qi for a hundred years."
There was a gleam in Zhan Doudou's eyes. In her eyes, Zhou Chen was simply a huge treasure and she wished she could hold him in her arms forever.
"He is in the emperor's sister's bedroom now."
"He really treats the princess differently. It might be just as you think."
"So, you also think my method is effective? But I'm worried that my sister alone may not be able to hold him down. Otherwise, how about you, little sister-in-law, also sacrifice yourself for Da Qi. After all, he is a grandmaster, so it's not a disadvantage. With the princess and the saint together, even if he is a grandmaster, they will definitely be able to take him down."
Zhan Doudou proposed to Haitang Duoduo with a smile, but Haitang Duoduo just rolled her eyes.
"I don't have that intention. So what if I'm a Grandmaster? My goal is to become a Grandmaster, too. I just need martial arts. I don't need a man."
Zhan Doudou laughed, she was just teasing. It would be fine for Zhan Pianpian, she was a member of the royal family of Da Qi, she would definitely be willing to sacrifice for Da Qi. Maybe it was not a sacrifice for her, she might be very willing to do so.
But Haitang Duoduo is different. She is the saint of Northern Qi, the last disciple of Grand Master Ku He, and nominally her elder. Such a person with her own opinions will naturally not be influenced by others.
"Shall we go to meet him at the Imperial Sister's place later?"
When Zhou Chen opened his eyes, he saw Zhan Pianpian sitting not far away, holding a lamp in his arms and dozing off.
A smile appeared on his face. After a night of healing, he had almost recovered.
He slowly stood up and walked lightly to Zhan Pianpian. As soon as he touched her body, she shuddered suddenly and waved the lamp reflexively.
Zhou Chen grabbed it and asked with a smile: "Why, do you want to kill me?"
When Zhan Pianpian saw that it was Zhou Chen, she was overjoyed.
"I'm sorry, I, I fell asleep, are you ok?"
Zhou Chen put the lamp aside and said softly, "It's healed now, thank you. If you hadn't been watching over me, I wouldn't have been able to heal my wounds with peace of mind."
Zhan Pianpian looked embarrassed: "I didn't do anything and fell asleep."
"I see you are very tired, go and have a rest."
"Are you leaving?" Zhan Pianpian asked anxiously.
Zhou Chen said: "It's just leaving the palace. You are an unmarried princess, I can't stay with you forever."
Zhan Pianpian pursed her lips. She wanted Zhou Chen to stay with her, but she also knew that this was unrealistic. This was the imperial palace and she was a princess. Zhou Chen was a grandmaster, but it was impossible for him to always accompany her as a princess. He also had his own things to do.
"But if you leave the palace, I won't be able to see you anymore."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then I have an idea for you. Mr. Zhuang is a great writer. You can ask him to be your teacher and go to his residence to study. I think your queen mother and the little emperor will not object."
"Is it really possible?" Zhan Pianpian was very tempted, but a little uncertain.
"It really can."
Zhou Chen gave an affirmative answer. He knew that the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and the young emperor were both smart people. Perhaps they might have made arrangements against Zhan Pianpian in the past, but after he took Zhan Pianpian out of the palace, they would definitely change their minds.
Unless they really want to break up with him, people in power will never do such a stupid thing. For those in power, interests always come first.
"I think your queen mother will come to you soon, and when you bring this up, she will agree."
Zhan Pianpian barely considered it and immediately said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After playing outside with Zhou Chen for half a month and coming back without any trouble or pressure, she had already developed a blind admiration for Zhou Chen. Since Zhou Chen said it was okay, then it must be okay.
"Your eyes are red, take a rest first."
Zhan Pianpian was indeed very tired. In fact, she hadn't slept well for several days. She was worried all day yesterday and was very physically and mentally exhausted. She really couldn't take it anymore.
But before she could stand up, Zhou Chen picked her up like a princess, scaring her so much that she screamed.
"what are you doing?"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just carried her to the bed, helped her take off her shoes, and then covered her with a blanket.
"Go to sleep and have a good sleep."
His words seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Zhan Pianpian, with red cheeks, covered her face with the quilt and fell asleep unknowingly.
Zhou Chen helped her straighten the quilt before walking out of the bedroom.
There were several palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the hall. When they saw Zhou Chen coming out, they all saluted naturally without any screams or anything, as if they were not at all surprised by Zhou Chen's appearance.
Zhou Chen was not surprised. He had stayed here for a night. The Queen Mother of Northern Qi and the young emperor must know everything. The palace maids and eunuchs sent by them must be their confidants.
Walking out of the palace, Zhou Chen saw the various palaces that were destroyed by the battle last night. It would probably take several months for them to be restored.
After standing there for a short while, a eunuch came over and respectfully delivered a message.
