Chapter 1133: The fierce general breaks through, the gods and humans die, and Zhao Gao panics
Having been mentally prepared, An Zaitian, who had been patient for a long time, seriously injured Gao Siji with a single palm strike. Of course, at the same time, he was also... slightly injured by Gao Yanping, who was attacking with a halberd!
In the blow just now, Gao Yanping definitely hit it with all his strength. However, when An Zaitian hit Gao Siji with all his strength, he also used all his strength to hold up the Gang Qi shield. Although he was hit by Gao Yanping,
The attack was broken, but this process was obviously not easy.
At least, during this process, An Zaitian had enough evasive actions.
As a result, Gao Siji was seriously injured by this blow, but Gao Yanping's attack only scratched An Zaitian's arm, leaving an insignificant blood mark. This injury almost did not affect his combat effectiveness.
.
Gao Yanping, he is not an ordinary heaven-level peak person. Like Lian'er in Beidi who had a kind heart back then, he is the kind of heaven-level peak person who is extremely close to the realm of a god general.
Strictly speaking, Gao Yanping is not quite a character in "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty". After all, his main deeds are from the sequel "The King of Yan's Campaign to the North".
Using a square-shaped halberd, he was the champion of military affairs in the Ming Dynasty. Empress Ma and her party had high hopes for him and regarded him as an important weight to defeat the generals under the command of King Yan.
At the critical moment when Gao Yanping's battle with Chang Mao was tied, his teacher Zuo Mengxiong, the "long-armed old man", arrived and took advantage of his disciple Xiao, so Gao Yanping surrendered to King Yan.
Chang Mao at that time, like Chang Yuchun in the later stages of the prequel, had grown older and was no longer living up to his peak form.
However, after all, he is also the top among the first-level masters among heroes. To be able to tie with him, even if Chang Mao is not at his peak, his combat power is truly extraordinary.
Gao Yanping and Chang Mao were both disciples of the "long-armed old man" Zuo Mengxiong. When Chang Mao was born, Shan Lao said that his teacher was also the "long-armed old man" Zuo Mengxiong.
However, in the storytelling, Chang Mao and Zuo Mengxiong did not seem to know each other when they met, and Chang Mao even spoke of him as an "old man" without mentioning the word "master" at all.
Even though these masters broke through An Zaitian's Gang Qi shield with a full blow, they did not pose a real threat to others.
From this point of view, if he faced such a heavenly being alone, he would not have any chance of winning.
A general at the pinnacle of the heaven level has not yet reached the level of a divine general. No matter how strong he is, he is still a little weak when facing a real heavenly being, especially an established heavenly being like An Zaitian!
Although it is said that some powerful peak-level gods can indeed compete with some god generals, but they can only compete with some god generals, and at most they can only compete with some ordinary junior god-level ones.
The strongest group among the early-stage celestial beings, their true combat capabilities are not comparable to those of simple elementary-level god generals.
However, this set of rules also made An Zaitian seriously exhausted.
Not only is the consumption of skill serious, but also the consumption of physical strength is serious.
First he fought with the masters around Zhao Kuangyin, and then he was in the process of escaping. Now, he has begun to feel a little powerless.
What made him even more desperate was that he tried his best to seriously injure Gao Siji, but Hu Sheng, another peak-level warrior from Zhenxi Mansion, also surrounded him.
With the cooperation of Gao Yanping and countless soldiers around him, An Zaitian injured Hu Sheng again, but due to severe exhaustion, Gao Yanping broke through the Gangqi shield again and was seriously injured.
.
As his consumption continued to increase, it was obvious that this time, it was much more difficult for Gao Yanping to break through his Gang Qi shield, so he would naturally not be given so many opportunities to react.
Although Gao Yanping is the last of the three top heaven-level masters who have arrived, An Zaitian's own condition has also been pushed to a limit.
After a bloody battle, all of An Zaitian's trump cards came out. Although Gao Yanping made a breakthrough during the battle, he was still seriously injured by An Zaitian, who was on the verge of a counterattack.
"Gao Yanping breaks through his own limits, and his basic force is permanently increased by one. The current basic force rises to 105."
Gao Yanping is just like Lian'er Xinshan and Guan Yu in the past. He is already at a level very close to that of a god general. Perhaps he is only one chance away from a breakthrough.
However, Gao Yanping was not as lucky as Lian'er Xinshan and Guan Yu.
At that time, Lian'er Xinshan and Guan Yu both fell into a state of enlightenment during the process of breakthrough. The improvement they received was not just a simple improvement in martial arts realm, but an all-round improvement.
In this regard, Gao Yanping is relatively inferior.
Even, because of his physical condition at the time, even though he had broken through at that moment, his level did not rise with it, but his basic strength simply increased a little.
As for Gao Yanping, a master at the peak level who is extremely close to the state of a god general, it is naturally impossible for him to achieve such a breakthrough, but there is no possibility of a breakthrough in his realm.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to break through his own limits on his own.
Those who can rely on their own abilities to break through their own limits will definitely not have insufficient foundation when they break through this threshold. From the moment they break through, their realm will also rise accordingly.
For someone like him, after recovering from his injuries, his realm will naturally break through.
Although An Zaitian seriously injured Gao Yanping at the last moment, he no longer had the ability to kill Gao Yanping.
After making the last move, he himself fell into a state of exhaustion, with almost no fighting power. In the end, he was surrounded and killed by a group of Zhenxi soldiers.
At this point, the changes that occurred during the establishment of the vigorous Song Dynasty began to come to an end.
Of course, it just came to an end in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the aftermath, there are still undercurrents. Everything is not over at all, but just the beginning.
It is worth mentioning that during the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Wushang of the Zhao family also died in that accident.
Zhao Wushang of the Zhao family is a representative figure among the older generation of Zhenxi Mansion. He is the most famous figure among the Zhao family of the older generation of Zhenxi Mansion. His status in the Zhenxi Army is equivalent to that of Zhao Wushang.
The four generals represented by Wang Dangzhi among the Zhendong Army.
Even such a character died in the accident that day.
But the ones who took action were not some celestial beings, but two grand masters.
But it was precisely because of these two master-level experts that once again caused an uproar.
Because what these two master-level masters used was the Xuanyin Demon Absorbing Technique that had only appeared not long ago. Of course, it was still an incomplete version.
In Hedong Road, when several demonic masters first appeared, they attracted the attention of many people in the world. After all, what happened back then was not long ago, and the news had not spread outside the world.
If it spreads outside the Great Cang, many people outside the Great Cang will probably pay attention to this matter.
Shangyin Academy, which is not far from Hedong Road, actually sent people to secretly investigate after the incident, but no one knew about it.
Another top power in the world, King Kong Temple, also secretly sent several heavenly monks to Hedong Road.
The same is true for Shangyin Academy and Kongji Temple, and the same is true for Longhu Mountain.
At that time, Confucianism and Buddhism, plus Taoism, were the main force among hundreds of schools of thought, and their role in quelling the demonic disaster was not small.
In addition to various schools of thought, some aristocratic families also secretly sent their forces. During the process of quelling the demonic disaster, several major dynasties were the leaders.
The main force among the dynasties was of course the large and small aristocratic families of the major dynasties.
And the vast majority of the aristocratic families that have survived from hundreds of years ago to the present are the top aristocratic families of the major dynasties.
Moreover, only they, who have a long heritage, can more clearly understand the horror of the demonic disaster that year.
If your power background is not enough, you might not even have heard of that incident.
It had not been long since the remnants of the last demonic disaster appeared. Not long after, they actually appeared again, which made these forces even more vigilant.
This time, these people have not only sent out their own personnel to investigate, but are also colluding with hundreds of forces outside the world to nip the demonic disaster from its bud once again.
Among the great Cang forces, the first to be suspected was the Huangfu lineage, or to be more precise, the current Prince Jing.
Without him, those who are eligible to obtain the incomplete version of the peerless technique that caused the demonic disaster back then would most likely be the participants who quelled that demonic disaster back then.
Although, it is not ruled out that there are some lucky people who get something unexpectedly!
After all, after hundreds of years, anything can happen!
However, of these two situations, which one is more likely, different people will naturally have different ideas.
At least, in the eyes of these people now, there have been two waves in a row. The two waves combined, there are already several demon masters. If there is no hidden force behind this, they said they can live broadcast Chixiang.
Since people appear in Da Cang, it is natural to first suspect the forces within Da Cang. If the forces within Da Cang can be ruled out, then the possibility of other dynasties will be considered.
And since they are the various forces that are suspicious of Da Cang, the first ones to be eliminated must be the victims of these two incidents, Wang Yu's Han Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty.
There are actually quite a few remaining forces.
In addition to the hundreds of schools of thought, there are also the major internal aristocratic families.
However, among the seven great dynasties, the number of aristocratic families that can be passed down to this day is the largest. That stable and terrifying political system, if there is no external force to break it from the outside, we don’t know how long it will continue to last.
And with so many forces, of course they are the ones involved in these two incidents each time, and they are the most suspicious.
Although many of the people involved in these two incidents are secretive, everyone can imagine that those who participated in these two incidents, if nothing else, can be imagined.
At least there is definitely one in the imperial family.
Therefore, all parties have naturally begun to pay attention to Huangfu.
"Then congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Zhao Kuangzi tried to establish a dynasty and proclaim himself emperor, but he was killed in the mansion. Even Xuan Jinyan, the mistress of Zhenxi, died. The country was in ruins as soon as the dynasty was established, and its prestige was completely destroyed!" Wang Yu heard.
After briefly explaining the cause and effect, Yelu Zhaoyang directly congratulated him.
Being born into the Dongyi royal family, she naturally knew that the Song Dynasty, which had just been founded, suffered a heavy blow on the day it was founded.
After seeing the little prince who had just been born, he stayed for a while and then drove away. After walking out of the palace gate, Wang Yu couldn't help but shook his head. He suddenly realized that as long as she is a woman, she is bound to be in trouble.
In the palace, the empress and the concubines, as well as the various concubines, have begun to fight openly and secretly. Yelu Zhaoyang, who has always been low-key, seems to have some "gong grievances".
Sitting on the imperial chariot, thinking about the exchange with Yelu Zhaoyang just now, Wang Yu couldn't help but said to Zhao Gao who was following closely: "Zhao Gao, tell me how to grasp this woman's thoughts. I just said it casually.
Can words affect the harmony in the palace?"
"You are a person without roots, how can you understand the affairs between men and women!" Zhao Gao replied with his head lowered, paying attention to Wang Yu's expression, and immediately flattered him and said: "But there is some truth in what the empress said.
Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, with golden words and jade words, and a single word..."
"Okay!" Wang Yu interrupted Zhao Gaodao impatiently, "Put away your compliments for now. If you say them all at once, what else will you say in the future?"
Zhao Gao looked embarrassed, but he quickly recovered and smiled and said, "Your Majesty was joking."
Turning his body sideways and looking behind him, Wang Yu ordered Zhao Gao: "Go to the inner palace and give Yelu Xiuyi a thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver each, and thirty pieces of silk!"
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the reason?" Zhao Gao asked carefully.
Wang Yu's eyes squinted, and his voice couldn't help but become darker, and he said, "I'm giving this palace servant, do you need any other reasons?"
"This..." Zhao Gao heard the change in Wang Yu's tone, and suddenly bent down even lower, and whispered: "Your Majesty said before that rewards and punishments are clear, and no nameless gifts will be given!"
Wang Yu suddenly looked at Zhao Gaodao, "You remember my words clearly!"
"In what name do you think I should reward you?" Wang Yu asked.
Zhao Gao chuckled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Mother is as valuable as her son, so the reward for the empress is the same as the reward for the young highness!"
"You are quite clever as a eunuch!" Wang Yu suddenly said calmly, his voice was flat and his tone was scary: "It's just that you said a bit too much!"
The emperor suddenly turned against him. Zhao Gao turned pale, trembling and knelt on the ground, and slapped himself several times: "You are too talkative! You are too talkative!"
Wang Yu squinted his eyes and looked indifferently. He didn't say anything more. He just rested on the armrest of the sedan chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The carriage did not stop and continued towards Linde Hall. On the palace road, only Zhao Gao was left kneeling there, feeling uneasy.
