Listening to Jianguo's words, Chen An suddenly realized.
Lu Yu, the Duke of Lu Guo in Dahua, is also the most loyal follower of the former second prince.
This man, accustomed to arrogance, did not know how to restrain himself even after Cheng Zheng came to power, and repeatedly clashed with Cheng Zheng.
With his previous reputation as a follower of the Tai King, and the repeated confrontations with Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng finally could not bear it and killed him as an example.
Killing the monkey to warn the chickens was appropriate.
Chen An remembered that when Lu Yu was killed, Jianguo had repeatedly submitted petitions, requesting Cheng Zheng to spare Lu Yu's life.
Previously, Chen An had thought that Jianguo was doing this out of respect for the former Duke of Lu Guo.
Now it seems that this is not just camaraderie, but deep father-son affection.
Thinking of this, Chen An's face couldn't help but look strange.
If he remembered correctly, Lu Yu's nominal father, the former Duke of Lu Guo, seemed to have a good relationship with the current Jianguo, and they were said to be good friends for many years.
As a result, after the death of the former Duke of Lu Guo, his child became Jianguo's.
Their friendship runs deep indeed.
Even the matter of passing on the family's legacy was taken care of.
But with this in mind, it seems to make some sense.
Although Chen An still couldn't quite understand Jianguo's logic.
In his opinion, if you really didn't want Lu Yu to die, you could have just explained the situation calmly at the time.
After Cheng Zheng knew about the situation, even if it was just to win you over as an ally, he would have chosen to spare Lu Yu.
In addition, he could have taken the opportunity to give Cheng Zheng a handle and actively align himself with the new emperor.
However, at that time, you chose to remain silent.
And now you're openly rebelling.
What are you thinking?
Chen An, as a transmigrator, couldn't understand it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
But fortunately, he didn't need to understand all of this.
"Fortunately, Jianguo, you finally decided to step forward."
He smiled, looking surprisingly happy, "If you kept hiding, I would have been in trouble."
"What are you trying to say?"
Seeing Chen An acting so calmly and even happily, Jianguo frowned, feeling a bit puzzled, "At this point, don't you think you can escape?"
"Escape? Why should I escape?"
Chen An couldn't help but smile, his expression becoming more excited, "Rather than escape, isn't it better to just kill all of you?"
As he spoke, a powerful Xuanbing Qi spread outwards, roaring.
Boom!
The sound of shattering came from all directions, erupting wildly and rushing towards Yang Zhong and the others.
This was an individual trying to resist three Qi Masters at the same time.
"Arrogant!"
Yang Zhong and Zhao Yong both snorted coldly and rushed forward.
Layers of Qi exploded, directly shattering the ice crystals in front of them.
Ice crystals scattered in the air, falling on the ground and making a crisp sound.
With the simultaneous eruption of the four Qi Masters, this area had turned into a decisive battlefield.
There were invisible air currents everywhere.
Different Qis collided with each other.
Invisibly, a seemingly withered arm fell and collided with Chen An's hand, followed by two ice dragons rising up into the sky, spreading rapidly, exploding with two Qi forces of Xuanbing.
Like Chen An, Zhao Yong, as a member of the Song royal family, also practiced Xuanbing Qi, a martial art created by the founder of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the nature of his Qi was similar to Chen An's.
However, despite the similar nature of their Qi, they were far apart in other aspects.
With a light bang, Zhao Yong was knocked out.
"Your Qi is above mine!"
Feeling the powerful Qi emanating from Chen An's palm, his face showed a surprised expression as if he had not expected this.
He was already quite old, while Chen An was still in his thirties, still a young man.
The difference in cultivation over these many years should have made his Qi much stronger.
But the final result was the opposite.
Chen An's powerful Qi directly knocked him out.
If they had fought one-on-one, he would have most likely been the one to die in the end.
Fortunately, he was not alone.
Sharp daggers swung down.
While Chen An was fighting with Zhao Yong, Yang Zhong also joined the attack, his powerful Qi exploding, looking like he was about to split Chen An's body in two.
Chen An swung his long knife, narrowly blocking the attack, but his chest couldn't help but vibrate, almost coughing up blood.
And it wasn't over yet.
From behind, Jianguo also rushed forward and struck with a palm.
Boom!
The Qi shook in all directions, causing a powerful shock.
Chen An's body retreated, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Embarrassment was normal.
Among these three people in front of him, except for the Song royal family member Zhao Yong, the other two were ruthless figures. Although their strength was slightly weaker than Chen An's, it wasn't by much.
Facing such a lineup, Chen An was already in a bit of trouble by himself, not to mention that they were teaming up without any sense of honor, attacking him all at once.
It was a disgrace among Qi martial artists.
Chen An's face remained calm as he continued to fight against Yang Zhong and the others.
Blood continued to flow, dripping on the ground, quickly freezing into ice crystals, making a crisp sound as they fell.
Looking around, it was a world of ice and snow.
Soldiers everywhere were still fighting, deadlocked.
It seemed that they wouldn't be able to break through for a while.
"Don't even think about it."
Yang Zhong wielded his twin knives, walking up to Chen An, "Your troops have been blocked, and you definitely won't be able to break through for a short time."
"Surrender now and join Great Song, there's still time."
Zhao Yong spoke calmly, still carrying the same politeness as before, but his appearance had become much more dilapidated.
Among the three of them, his strength was the weakest, so he was most affected, with many parts of his body looking ragged.
"The Emperor of Hua is unjust, why sacrifice yourself for him?"
Not far away, Jianguo also spoke, with a stern face and a hint of icy killing intent, "Surrender now, and you won't lose your reward of being a marquis."
"If you don't surrender..."
"If you don't surrender, then what?"
Chen An smiled faintly, speaking calmly.
"If you don't surrender, this will be your burial place."
Yang Zhong looked at Chen An, speaking sternly, "Chen Duk...you are a smart person, you should know what to choose at this moment."
"Yes, of course, I know what to choose."
Chen An sighed, with a melancholy tone, "Originally, I thought I could save myself some trouble."
"Unfortunately, it was just a little short."
After ten years of cultivation, his strength had continuously improved, and he was just one step away from advancing to the next level of Qi transformation.
He thought that with this opportunity of being surrounded by three Qi Masters, he could have completed this breakthrough under the pressure of life and death. But it turned out he was just a little short.
In the end, he was not like those exceptional protagonists in stories who could break through and rise under the trials of life and death.
He didn't have that ability.
With a silent sigh in his heart, he lowered his head and looked ahead again.
The familiar upgrade template appeared, presenting itself in an instant.
Xuanbing Qi, upgraded!
The atmosphere around gradually changed.
Around him, Yang Zhong was the first to realize that something was wrong.
The Qi that surrounded Chen An seemed to have undergone a significant transformation.
It seemed to have many new properties.
An ice crystal suddenly flew towards Yang Zhong, but he dodged it instinctively.
Yang Zhong subconsciously paused and looked towards Chen An's direction.
Through his keen sense of Qi, he quickly realized that something was wrong.
A terrifying aura was shaking.
On Chen An, a Qi was rapidly undergoing a transformation at an extremely rapid speed.
A powerful force surged out, erupting like a blizzard, seeming to engulf everything around.
In the blink of an eye, Chen An's aura completed a transformation, rapidly advancing to a new level.
Third stage of Qi - Qi Transformation!
The wind howled.
Xuanbing Qi gushed out like a blizzard, containing an extreme cold Qi that made people's bodies tremble unconsciously, feeling fear.
"Not good!"
Yang Zhong quickly realized that something was wrong.
However, it was too late.
A long knife suddenly stabbed out in a bizarre manner, directly shattering Yang Zhong's defense Qi.
Howling Moon!
The long knife swung down, gathering the terrifying Qi into a point, like a force that could cut through everything, cold and terrifying.
Yang Zhong's body flew straight out.
On the ground, a trace more than ten meters long appeared in an instant, the cracks being frozen directly.
The sudden change stunned Zhao Yong and the others.
In their sight, Chen An's figure slowly appeared from the front, stepping forward.
There was a faint smile on his face, but what it contained was pure and boundless killing intent.
"Now, let the second round begin."
Looking around, his gaze fell on the two in front of him, then raised his knife again.
The blood mist began to swirl, a faint blood aura rising and spreading in all directions.
The result of this battle was not widely known until half a month later.
In this battle, Chen Guogong faced the simultaneous siege of three Qi Masters, but did not fall behind, even winning the battle.
Zhao Yong, the head of the Song royal family, was killed, the former Duke of Jianguo was captured, and only Song loyal warlord Yang Zhong was injured and managed to escape, barely leaving the battlefield.
Subsequently, the Dahua army marched directly south and defeated Song.
The Tai King was captured directly and sent back to Shengjing with Jianguo.
Chen Guogong of Dahua became famous in one battle and became one of the top martial artists in the world.
But this battle was not over yet.
At this time, there was a rebellion in Great Song, with constant infighting in the court, and coincidentally, a major defeat had weakened their strength to the extreme.
Dahua, on the other hand, was victorious and had high morale.
In a moment, the tables turned, and Chen An led his troops south, directly into Great Song territory.
Listening to Jianguo's words, Chen An suddenly realized.
Lu Yu, the Duke of Lu Guo in Dahua, is also the most loyal follower of the former second prince.
This man, accustomed to arrogance, did not know how to restrain himself even after Cheng Zheng came to power, and repeatedly clashed with Cheng Zheng.
