Chapter 199: Martial Arts Chronicle: The Deeply Hidden Zhu Wushi

Gu Santong frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. Although he was not afraid of Zhu Wushi's attacks, the fact that the other party used his true energy to attack from a distance and never engaged him in close combat prevented his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill from exerting its full power.

He snorted coldly, his body suddenly accelerating as he pounced on Zhu Wushi like a tiger, trying to close the distance.

However, Zhu Wushi was prepared. He dodged like a ghost, while simultaneously striking Gu Santong with both hands. His finger strikes were like arrows and his fist strikes were like thunder.

Although these attacks failed to harm Gu Santong in the slightest, they repeatedly hindered his progress, preventing him from getting close to Zhu Wushi.

"Zhu Wushi, you are a dignified Marquis, are you only good at hiding?"

Gu Santong roared and suddenly clenched his fists, the force of which was like a dragon, forcing Zhu Wushi to retreat again.

However, Zhu Wushi remained unmoved and instead sneered, "Gu Santong, your Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is powerful, but it has its limits. I want to see how long you can last!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Wushi slammed his palms together, condensing his true energy into a massive palm print that crashed down on Gu Santong. The power of this palm strike was astonishing, as if even the heavens and earth would collapse.

Although Gu Santong was not afraid, he had no choice but to stop and raise his fists to withstand the blow.

"boom!".

With a deafening roar, a shockwave swept across the surrounding area, causing the ground to crack.

Although Gu Santong was not injured, he was still shaken by the power of the palm strike, and his blood and qi surged. He was secretly shocked: "Zhu Wushi's true qi is so profound. It seems that he has absorbed the power of many people over the years!"

However, he did not back down because of this. On the contrary, his fighting spirit grew even stronger, and he laughed loudly: "Zhu Wushi, you really did not disappoint me! However, these alone are not enough to defeat me!"

Before he finished speaking, he accelerated again, rushing towards Zhu Wushi like a bolt of lightning.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wushi frowned slightly, clearly feeling a bit of pressure as well.

Although he could launch long-range attacks with his powerful internal energy, Gu Santong was closing in faster and faster. If he didn't find a way to suppress him, he would probably be entangled in close combat sooner or later.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He slammed his palms together, and his true energy condensed into a huge vortex that swept towards Gu Santong.

This move is Zhu Wushi's ultimate skill, "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth," which can not only neutralize the enemy's attack but also turn the enemy's power back on him.

In the original novel, he used this move during his battle with Cao Zhengchun, and even managed to grab a small mountain from a distance and smash it at Cao Zhengchun, which shows how powerful it was.

By the way, although Zhu Wushi's Great Shift of the Universe and the Ming Cult's Great Shift of the Universe have the same name, their effects are quite different. Zhu Wushi's Great Shift of the Universe is obviously more powerful and relies more on Zhu Wushi's extraordinary capacity of true qi.

Faced with this move, Gu Santong was not afraid, but he had to be cautious. He suddenly stopped, raised his fists high, and took the hit head-on.

The battle between the two intensified, with their moves changing unpredictably and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

Meanwhile, Guo Juxia, Yu Huatian, and Cao Zhengchun, who were watching from the sidelines, each had their own thoughts and were waiting for the best opportunity to make their move.

Cao Zhengchun's face was gloomy as he looked at Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong in the distance. He casually slapped a prisoner who was trying to escape to death.

"Zhu Tiedan, Zhu Tiedan, I really underestimated you!"

Cao Zhengchun was filled with both shock and fear, and his inner thoughts were extremely complex.

Why was Cao Zhengchun given such important positions by the emperor over the years?

That's because he had been keeping Zhu Wushi, the famous imperial uncle, in check for the emperor.

In politics, balance is paramount. Cao Zhengchun was a pawn used by the emperor to restrain Zhu Wushi and maintain the balance of power in the court.

Cao Zhengchun was well aware of this, which is why he spared no effort in targeting Zhu Wushi.

But judging from Zhu Wushi's strength, what makes me think I can restrain him? If he just expends a little effort, I might be finished.

Guo Juxia had even more to think about.

Although Zhu Wushi was born to a palace maid, he was, after all, the current emperor's uncle and the late emperor's younger brother, making his identity extremely sensitive.

He has kept his secrets so well, and has not shown any signs of activity over the years, which makes Guo Juxia wonder if he has other motives.

It should be noted that although the current emperor has been on the throne for several years, he has no sons. The closest person to the dragon throne is Zhu Wushi.

Incidentally, Zhu Wushi, or Zhu Tiedan, are not his real names.

According to the royal family genealogy, Zhu Wushi's real name should be Zhu You something, which is his generational name.

However, back then, Zhu Wushi's father, who was also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a drunken affair with Zhu Wushi's mother and had Zhu Wushi. The old emperor always felt that this son was a stain on his reputation and ignored him until Zhu Wushi rose to power.

It wasn't until Zhu Wushi had mastered martial arts that the old emperor finally saw his son and had him listed in the imperial genealogy, thus giving him a royal name.

But in fact, for the first half of his life, Zhu Wushi was always known as Zhu Wushi, a name that reflected his humiliating origins.

However, the name Zhu Wushi on the imperial genealogy seems to have never been used; everyone has always called him Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi.

But even though he was a son of a concubine, Zhu Wushi was still a prince and had a title and fiefdom.

However, Zhu Wushi always referred to himself as the Iron-Blooded Marquis because he earned this title himself, not because he was the emperor's son. This was very important to Zhu Wushi, as it gave him a strong sense of accomplishment.

Zhu Wushi was both arrogant and insecure. He was arrogant because of his achievements, and insecure because of his background.

This personality trait has made Zhu Wushi who he is today, but it will also likely lead to his downfall.

Yu Huatian didn't have as many inner thoughts. Although he was equally shocked by Gu Santong and Zhu Wushi's strength, as the youngest of the four, he wouldn't be discouraged by it.

You must know that he was personally taught by that old ancestor in the palace. In his opinion, although Gu Santong and Zhu Wushi's martial arts are strong, they are definitely not stronger than that old ancestor in the palace who has lived since the Yongle era. That is the true foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Wushi had no idea what these three people were thinking. In fact, even now, he hadn't used his true abilities. Even with nearly a thousand years of accumulated power, he had only used seventy percent of it.

Zhu Wushi's territory was his Absorption Technique, which had surpassed the boundaries of the Eccentric Hero of Tianchi. It was a technique that even Gu Santong had never seen before, representing the highest level he had perfected over the past twenty years.

Chapter 200: Martial Arts Crossover: Zhu Wushi's Enragement

Zhu Wushi waved his hands, and terrifying fluctuations of true energy spread out, causing the entire prison to tremble.

His Qiankun Great Shift overturned most of the prison cells, and the boulders and iron bars were as light as toys in his hands. He lifted them high and smashed them down on Gu Santong.

The boulder carried the force of thunder, as if it were about to crush the heavens and the earth.

Upon seeing this, Gu Santong's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness, but a wild and arrogant smile appeared on his lips.

He suddenly clenched his fists, and his whole body shone with golden light. He unleashed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its fullest extent, and his entire being stood firm like a golden-armored war god.

Without flinching, he charged straight at the boulder, his fists slamming into it like dragons.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the boulder shattered instantly under Gu Santong's fist force, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Gu Santong did not retreat at all; instead, he used the force of the recoil to accelerate and rush towards Zhu Wushi once again.

He was incredibly fast, like a golden lightning bolt, instantly closing the distance between himself and Zhu Wushi.

Zhu Wushi frowned slightly, clearly not expecting Gu Santong to be able to defuse his attack so easily.

He flashed away, creating distance once more, and simultaneously unleashed a flurry of palm strikes, his true energy condensing into countless palm prints that rained down on Gu Santong like a storm.

Each palm print contained terrifying power, enough to raze an artificial mountain to the ground.

However, Gu Santong was not afraid at all. His indestructible body blocked all the palm prints.

His figure moved like a ghost through the palm prints, each step precise, gradually closing in on Zhu Wushi.

His eyes burned with fighting spirit, as if he wanted to completely crush Zhu Wushi.

"Zhu Wushi, your Qiankun Great Shift is nothing special!"

Gu Santong laughed loudly, then suddenly clenched his fists, unleashing a powerful punch that hurtled straight at Zhu Wushi's face.

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Wushi's eyes. He slammed his palms together, and his true energy condensed into a huge vortex that swept towards Gu Santong.

This move is the essence of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth; it can not only neutralize the enemy's attack but also turn the enemy's power back on them.

However, Gu Santong was prepared. He suddenly clenched his fists, and the wind from his fists was like a dragon. He managed to withstand the blow.

The two men's true energy clashed fiercely in the air, and the shockwave swept around, causing the entire prison to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Meanwhile, Guo Juxia, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian are doing their utmost to capture or kill the high-ranking criminals who managed to escape from the prison.

Guo Juxia's Shocking Wave Palm was powerful and domineering, sweeping across the area and killing the criminals one by one.

Cao Zhengchun then swung his palms repeatedly, and with the support of the Heavenly Gang Yuan Qi, his palm winds were like knives, forcing the criminals to have nowhere to escape.

Yu Huatian moved like a ghost, his twin swords as cunning as venomous snakes, each strike aimed straight for vital points.

Although the three fought individually, they all understood that the key to this battle lay in the duel between Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong.

However, these prisoners cannot be allowed to escape, otherwise the capital will be thrown into chaos, and they will all suffer the consequences.

“Gu Santong, I spared your life back then because of Su Xin. Today you have broken your promise, so you deserve to die. Even if I kill you, Su Xin will not blame me.”

Zhu Wushi, a man who is arrogant yet insecure and ambitious, placed all his affections on Su Xin. It can be said that Su Xin was Zhu Wushi's ideal woman.

Zhu Wushi would do anything to make his sworn brother Gu Santong shine on him, just like he did back then to frame his sworn brother Gu Santong for Su Xin.

Gu Santong snorted coldly and punched Zhu Wushi in the eye, saying at the same time.

"You dare mention Su Xin? She's my wife, it's none of your business."

Zhu Wushi is a hopeless romantic, and Gu Santong is no less so.

However, Zhu Wushi had been love-struck ever since he first met Su Xin, while Gu Santong only realized his love-struck nature when Su Xin collapsed in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi instantly lost his composure and roared in fury.

"Shut up!"

Enraged, Zhu Wushi unleashed a devastating attack, his fist crackling with terrifying true energy, recklessly engaging Gu Santong in close combat. This sudden turn of events caused Guo Juxia, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian, who were watching from the sidelines, to frown, and even Gu Santong was taken aback.

For Zhu Wushi, whose true energy was powerful, close combat was undoubtedly using his weakness to attack the enemy's strength. However, Zhu Wushi was blinded by anger at this moment and only wanted to defeat Gu Santong in the most direct way.

·· ·Requesting flowers··· ···

Zhu Wushi's fist was like a raging sea. With each punch, a sound of air being torn apart was heard, and the air seemed to be compressed to its limit, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Gu Santong's golden body also appeared dim at this moment. He felt unprecedented pressure, but his fighting spirit did not diminish as a result. Instead, it became even more intense.

He knew he couldn't back down, so he activated his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its fullest extent, and his whole body erupted with golden light once again, preparing to take Zhu Wushi's violent attack head-on.

"Boom!"

The fists collided like thunderbolts striking fire, and terrifying fluctuations of true energy swept through the entire prison, causing cracks to appear in the stone walls of the cells.

..... ..... ...

Gu Santong felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body was involuntarily sent flying backward. His legs plowed two extremely deep furrows in the ground, and he only managed to stabilize himself three or four zhang away.
