Chapter 268 One-Sided Slaughter

Seeing Chen Yang's smile, Zhao Qiankun assumed Chen Yang was about to surrender, and he laughed heartily, "As expected! Chen Yang, you're a smart young man, you've figured it out so quickly! Now follow me, all you need to do is kill Zhu Yuejian for me, and that'll be your pledge of allegiance. From now on, you'll be one of my men!"

Chen Yang shook his head slightly: "Zhao Qiankun, have you ever heard the saying—'Too clever by half'? I never expected you to bring me such great convenience today!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiankun frowned and said coldly, "What do you mean by this? What convenience?"

Chen Yang merely smiled coldly: "It would be convenient to kill you! Seeing your heinous crimes, your disregard for human life, and your collusion with enemy states for your own selfish desires, I've long wanted to wipe out your Prime Minister's Mansion! But the young emperor said your Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily implicated, and destroying it would cause other troubles, so I held back!"

His eyes sharpened: "Isn't today the perfect time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiankun's expression changed drastically!

He looked up at Zhao Jianping and immediately asked, "Zhao Jianping! Has someone followed us?"

Zhao Jianping was startled. He first put his ear to the wind tunnel by the door to listen, then shook his head firmly: "Clan leader, no one followed! I'm sure of it! This guy is just showing off; he's asking for it!"

Zhao Qiankun's face was grim as he said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, are you saying you're determined to serve the Zhu family and die here? I advise you to think twice! I acknowledge your strength and ability in quelling the troubles of the Manchu Kingdom and resolving the border issues of the Ming Dynasty! It's unnecessary for such a promising talent as you to die at such a young age!"

Chen Yang was too lazy to waste any more words: "Zhao Qiankun, stop talking nonsense! I'll just take you to see your son!"

Zhao Qiankun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what had happened. His body trembled violently, and he pointed at Chen Yang, saying, "You! It was you! On Spirit Turtle Island! It really was you! It really was you who killed my son?"

Without another word, Chen Yang instantly unleashed the Yin Fire Sword in his hand!

A gray flame shot towards Zhao Qiankun's body with a "boom"!

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Qiankun summoned a small, earthen-yellow shield in front of him!

The sword energy of the Yin Fire Sword collided with the shield, producing a muffled "hum"!

The next moment, Zhao Qiankun spat out a mouthful of blood and flew more than 20 meters away before falling to the ground!

However, the sword energy of the Yin Fire Sword was blocked by the shield in front of him!

Chen Yang frowned: "A spiritual treasure!? And it should be a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure!"

Zhao Qiankun, lying on the ground, was even more shocked and immediately shouted, "This kid is strange! Everyone, attack him together and kill him!"

Chen Yang laughed heartily, showing no fear whatsoever!

With a wave of his hand, five great swordsman puppets landed in the crowd!

With the Yin-Yang Thunderfire Sword in hand, Chen Yang swiftly sliced ​​Zhao Jianping and a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator into four pieces with two quick strikes!

At first, Zhao Qiankun on the ground was surprised and terrified, but he still had 100% confidence in winning!

After all, this basement houses all of the Prime Minister's mansion's top-tier combat forces!

All thirty-eight half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Prime Minister's residence are here!

And the half-step Foundation Establishment level is definitely the strongest fighting force in the Ming Dynasty!

As long as you haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, then the half-step Foundation Establishment stage is the ceiling!

Although the sword in Chen Yang's hand was very special and powerful, it was still just a magical treasure!

Under the siege of so many half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators, Chen Yang is doomed!

But soon, Zhao Qiankun was completely stunned!

Because the war before us has turned into a massacre!

The side that was the puppet master was not the Prime Minister's mansion, but rather those strange puppets that Chen Yang casually threw out, whose strength was far too great!

Each swing of their swords could easily take the life of a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator!

That's absolutely impossible!

A half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator is an invincible existence below the Foundation Establishment realm!

Chen Yang is not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he be so powerful?

At this point, Chen Yang was too lazy to explain any further!

He charged straight into the crowd, wielding the Yin-Yang Thunderfire Sword!

Although the Yin-Yang Thunderfire Sword is only a Yellow-rank spiritual treasure, its power, when combined with the Yin-Yang energy, is absolutely comparable to that of a Profound-rank spiritual treasure!

As for Chen Yang's five great swordsman puppets, each of them has reached the level of Xuan-rank spiritual treasure in terms of offensive and defensive power!

In addition, the sword energy emanating from their hands was incredibly sharp.

Each strike was too much for these half-Foundation Establishment cultivators to withstand, and they were instantly cut in half!

A Xuan-level spiritual treasure can actually pose a threat to cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

However, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage can generate a domain, possessing absolute domain control over their own bodies, making them generally difficult to kill with spiritual treasures!

However, these half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Prime Minister's Mansion are completely unable to generate a domain!

Therefore, the great swordsman puppet easily cut down one after another of the Grand Masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

In just two minutes, the entire underground chamber was awash in blood!

Soon, only Chen Yang and Zhao Qiankun remained alive!

Zhao Qiankun was lying on the ground and couldn't get up at all!

Chen Yang stepped over the bloodstains and fragments of flesh and blood on the ground and walked step by step to Zhao Qiankun's front!

Zhao Qiankun was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably; he had lost the ability to think!

He didn't understand why Chen Yang was so powerful.

The Prime Minister's Mansion had already secured the support of the Enforcement Commissioner, so how could it still have been slaughtered by Chen Yang under such circumstances?

Chen Yang swung the Yang Lei Sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Zhao Qiankun on the ground!

Zhao Qiankun struggled to his feet, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Wait! Chen Yang! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"We have no grudges against each other, there's no need for us to fight! Besides, our Zhao family of the Prime Minister's Mansion is under the control of Enforcement Commissioner Zhao Guipeng!"

"If you kill me, you won't escape Zhao Guipeng's search! Please spare my life, I'll do whatever you say! Only this way can we both win, only then..."

Chen Yang didn't even bother to wait for him to finish speaking!

With a single swing of his sword, he severed Zhao Qiankun's head in a flash!

Then, Chen Yang waved his hand and picked up the small, earthen-yellow shield next to Zhao Qiankun, examining it carefully in his palm!

[Ding! Host has obtained a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure—the Soaring Shield!]

Upon seeing the notification, Chen Yang burst into laughter: "It really is a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure! No wonder it could block the fatal blow from my Yin Fire Sword!"

Chen Yang carefully put away the Shield of the Startling Cloud, then turned to look at the more than forty corpses on the ground!

Chen Yang's hand suddenly trembled, and he realized with a start—he was really going to strike it rich!

Because these people in front of us are all old monsters at the half-step Foundation Establishment realm!

With the Prime Minister's mansion as their backing, they have accumulated countless treasures through years of cultivation!
