"As early as when I made a comeback with the help and support of Xiong Ba, I already knew in my heart that even if I finally took the throne, I would become Xiong Ba's puppet and a sacrificial tool for power. I might not be able to mobilize national power to find Tianxiang as I wish.
Cardamom revives the heart.
Even if Su Xin is saved, Xiong Ba's insidiousness and cunning may still be used to catch my weakness.
So after returning to the Ming Dynasty, I was actually trying to improve my resistance, or looking for strong allies who could help me but not be able to completely control me. Do you remember what I said during our last battle?
At that time, I actually wanted you to become my ally. I once said that I would turn enemies into friends with you, become brothers with different surnames, make you king, and even send troops to help Song State attack Jin and Liao Dynasties. Unfortunately, you refused!
"
"good!"
Jiang Dali put his hands behind his back, his eyes flashed, and he fell into memories, and said through a voice transmission, "The reason why I refused at that time was that Gu Santong, whom you, Zhu Wuwu, regarded as your brother, was imprisoned by you for twenty years.
I'm curious, you think Xiong Ba will use Su Xin as your weakness to threaten you, but why don't you think I will do the same?"
Zhu Wulan smiled faintly, "Because a proud person is absolutely reliable and will never do something embarrassing. Because your power at that time was not enough to reach the level of a tyrant, and I still have ways to resolve it.
What's more, I did see the right person. Brother Jiang, you just said that no matter whether I live or die today, you will not kill Su Xin. This is enough to prove my vision. You are a proud person, too.
An admirable opponent."
Jiang Dali, “There is no need to say these words of praise.
Tell me about your subsequent experience.
In order to resist the tyrants and embark on the path of defying heaven, you chose the Blood God as a powerful ally to cooperate with?"
"good!"
Zhu Wuwu nodded, and communicated with his spiritual power at the speed of lightning, "Actually, before Xiongba, I had already come into contact with the Blood Transformation God. Since you know about the Blood Transformation God, you must already know some things in the palace.
.
When the fourth disciple of the Blood God Lord, Xue Monk, and the Ghost King Xu Ruowu came to me to seek cooperation, I refused. I did not want anyone or any force to interfere with the interests of the royal family.
But then I was defeated by you. After experiencing a disastrous defeat and exclusion from the royal family, I reached a cooperation with Xiongba, and my original intention gradually changed. Only a person's ability can make great demands. If you want to get something, you must sacrifice something.
thing.
That's when I decided to give something up.
I gave up the interests of the royal family, hoping that what I would gain was to finally win the throne and save Su Xin.
But I was unwilling to become Xiong Ba's tool. After learning from the Blood Transformation God that Xiong Ba's fate was destiny, I resolutely embarked on the path of defying heaven.
Because only by defying heaven can we break through the obstruction of destiny.
From then on, I came up with the idea of breaking through and building up again to find a new path with the help of "Su Gong Dafa".
If I want to devour all things and imitate all things with my own power, I can become a new world of heaven, earth, man, and three talents. I am heaven, so why should I follow other people's destiny?"
Even though this was the second time he heard Zhu Wuwu talk about the theory of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, Jiang Dali was still shocked at this moment. He could feel Zhu Wuwu's courage and determination to make such a decision.
"pity......"
Zhu ignored the complex and said, "It's a pity that you, Brother Jiang, were born so that I have no time and opportunity to realize this ambition! I was defeated by you the first time, and I still lost because of you the second time. Otherwise, if I
It only takes a year or two for me to sit on the throne, and the mighty tyrant may not be able to suppress me."
Jiang Dali thought that he had ruined Zhu Wuli's good intentions of winning the throne twice, and it was indeed what the other party said.
If he didn't take action, Xiongba might not be able to eat him to death.
"It is precisely because of your change, Brother Jiang, that the situation of the three armies marching to the imperial city was destroyed. I also truly realized that it is still difficult to solve your problem by myself.
To win the throne, the right time, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable.
When you took Changzhou City away, you destroyed my geographical advantage. If you go against me, you are at odds with others. My chance of seizing the throne becomes very slim.
However, if Xiong Ba takes action in the end, everything will not change, but I am unwilling to do so because Xiong Ba and I have already made a bet.
Once he takes action, I will completely lose actual control over the Ming Kingdom and become a puppet who can only give orders.
Therefore, I had no choice but to reach a cooperation with the Blood Transformation God and made a bet."
Jiang Dali's expression condensed, and he realized that this might be the key to Zhu Wuli's survival later, and said, "What kind of cooperation? What kind of bet?"
Zhu ignored, "The content of this cooperation is that if I succeed in ascending to the throne, I will allow the Blood God to erect a body statue in our Ming Dynasty and provide him with thousands of strong men with martial arts skills as blood sacrifices every year.
A sacrifice, and I will also owe him a favor.
As a condition for cooperation, the Blood Transformation Sect provides me with the Heavenly Wrath Sword as a smelting weapon to help me advance in cultivation."
Jiang Dali's expression changed slightly.
It suddenly occurred to me that there were rumors before the war that Zhu Wuwu had greatly improved his strength after devouring and absorbing the skills of more than 2,000 death row prisoners. I thought this was what happened after the original cooperation.
If you put it this way, Wei Jinzhong, the original owner of the Skywrath Sword, was actually just a poor sacrificial pawn.
Jiang Dali said coldly, "Do you know the origin of the Wrath of Heaven Sword? Do you dare to fuse and devour such a sword?"
"Hehehe, hahahaha..."
Zhu ignored his pride and smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, could it be that he is too underestimated by me, Zhu? I have said that people are nurtured by heaven and earth, stones are also nurtured by heaven and earth, grass, trees, mountains, rivers and everything else are nurtured by heaven and earth.
When the practice of absorbing energy reaches the ultimate level, it can swallow the power of people, and naturally it can also swallow the power of all things.
I have walked a new path and swallowed and absorbed the Heavenly Wrath Sword. This is the only thing I am proud of in this fiasco. Now this sword has changed its surname to Zhu!"
With that said, Zhu Wuwu raised the Heavenly Wrath Sword in his hand.
The wrath of the sky buzzed and trembled slightly, and the sword exploded with brilliance, as if it was excited to cater to its master.
Zhu Wuwu sighed, "It's a pity that the time for my development was too short. Even though my skills were greatly improved at that time, the Blood Transformation God said bluntly that I might not be able to solve you, let alone conspire against this immortal hero, Xiong Ba?"
So, we made a bet at that time.
The content of the bet is that if I can get rid of you and successfully assassinate Xiong Ba, after I sit on the throne, not only will I no longer have to provide a thousand blood sacrifices to the Blood Transformation God every year, but the Blood Transformation God will also have to
Take action to stop the tyrant's revenge for me.
But if I can't do it, then there will only be one outcome - death.
When a person dies, there is nothing left, and everything is over.
But the Blood God Lord told me that if it really comes to this point, he can also have a way to fake my death and get out of trouble. The key to this is to ask me to self-destruct on my own, but before self-destruction, I need a large part of both Yin and Yang.
Enter the Skywrath Sword in advance.
Afterwards, he will use my flesh and blood to stabilize the Yin and Yang gods and bring me back to life. As a price, I need to provide him with 10,000 people as blood sacrifices every year in the future, and help him set up Dharmakaya statues in other princely states.
.”
Jiang Dali understood, his face slightly cold, "That's why you blew yourself up and died that day before I took action. So, now that you are alive, you have to fulfill your bet and provide blood sacrifices to the Blood God Lord every year?
"
Zhu Wulan laughed, "Brother Jiang, you are asking questions knowingly. The Blood God Lord clearly tricked me. Whatever brought me back to life and saved me was just a trap for me to follow his instructions.
.
If I hadn't already fused and refined the Heavenly Wrath Sword into my own divine weapon at that time, and since then the human sword has merged into one, regardless of each other, and because I have always been obsessed with saving Su Xin, how could I be alive now?
Do you believe the fallacy that relying solely on the Yin and Yang gods can make people live again? You simply don’t believe it!
Moreover, my two gods, Yin and Yang, had already been completely integrated into one at the moment when I broke and re-established. I only believe in myself, but what the Blood Transformation God said also gave me some hope.
Once I really reach the point of death, I have no other choice but to do what he said, but I will have other plans..."
Jiang Dali said, "So, the Blood God Lord is not really trying to save you. Even I would rather control Zhu Yunwen, who is relatively easy to control, than you!"
Zhu Wulan's eyes were cold and he said with a smile, "That's right! So after this bet was made, I began to mobilize manpower to assassinate all the princes and grandsons, except for the very few princes and grandsons who are most likely to be selected by you.
Use your hands and feet secretly.
I used the "Great Technique of Transforming the Sky and Striking the Earth" that the former Mongolian master Ba Shiba was good at, and left the mark of my spiritual reincarnation deep in the minds of each of them.
Once I am defeated and die, no matter who of you wants to control the Ming Kingdom, you will need to choose a suitable person with royal blood to take the throne.
And at this time, no matter who you choose, whether it is King Yan or Yun Wen, the surviving princes and grandsons of them all have the imprint of spiritual reincarnation imprinted on them by me, Zhu Wuwu.
Even if the Blood-Transforming God Lord plays some tricks later, I won't be without any precautions."
Jiang Dali took a breath and nodded in admiration, "What a shrewd calculation and a powerful method."
He was also not surprised why Zhu Wuli had mastered the "Transforming the Sky and Smashing the Earth". The other party's power-absorbing technique was so unpredictable that he could completely absorb and use it together with the infuriating energy and martial arts routines in other people's bodies at a very early stage.
But in the other person's words, this is still in the category of "human beings".
Only by oneself becoming heaven and earth, and forming the three talents of heaven, earth and man, is the highest state of absorbing power, swallowing and absorbing all things in the world, and embarking on the path of defying heaven by oneself becoming heaven and earth.
Zhu Feng said, "Having said this, all of Brother Jiang's doubts have been basically solved. Is Brother Jiang still satisfied?
In fact, I was able to survive again, but it was an extremely difficult life after a narrow escape from death. I would like to thank Brother Jiang for your generous intervention.
The reason is that the Blood Transformation God really has no intention of rescuing me, or in other words, he simply cannot do it.
From the moment I was defeated and died, I was destined to be abandoned as an outcast. The Blood Transformation God was very interested in my physical and mental strength, as well as my profound martial arts skills in my memory.
Once I pour my spirit into the Wrathful Sword before my death, I will completely become his sacrifice. He can obtain my strength, spirit, and knowledge through the sacrifice of my flesh and blood and the Wrathful Sword.
During this period, Yunwen smeared the body of the Heavenly Wrath Sword with blood every three days, nourishing the Heavenly Wrath Sword with the same royal blood, and helping the Heavenly Wrath Sword erase and refine my spiritual consciousness.
But how could the Blood Transformation God have expected that the Heavenly Wrath Sword has actually recognized me as its master.
The royal blood that Yunwen smears every day not only fails to help the Heavenly Wrath Sword refine me, but actually feeds me back, making me more and more awake, and even gives me the opportunity to activate the spiritual imprint that extends from Yunwen’s mind and transfer my consciousness to
Gradually it invaded his brain, and then he relied on his persistence, persistence and patience.
At this time, I only need an opportunity to unleash all my strength and come back to life, and this opportunity is Su Xin!"
Zhu Wulan raised his head and looked at the frowning Jiang Dali, "So Brother Jiang, it was you who saved me. If you hadn't rescued Su Xin, it would have been difficult for me to survive with my body purely based on obsession. Do you remember that I once told
Do you want to live up to your plan of borrowing a body and returning it to a god?
The original plan required mental strength to reach the level of the soul to be possible.
But relying on my obsession with my true heart, I found that I was able to maintain my energy despite this obsession, and even regained my life under today's stimulation!"
"Obsession..."
Jiang Dali nodded slightly, and all his doubts were suddenly revealed, "The power of obsession! It is indeed powerful!"
Of course he knows the power of obsession.
The first evil emperor, Xie Tiao, also used a trace of obsession to invade Di Ni's mind when his soul almost collapsed, and used Di Ni's power to reunite his soul.
Although Zhu Wuwu didn't possess the soul, he still relied on numerous preparations and the power of obsession to survive by using his body to restore his spirit.
Although there is some element of luck in this, for example, if he had not sent Su Xin back to the palace to rescue her in front of Zhu Yunwen, he might not have formed such a strong obsession stimulus. For example, if Zhu Wuli's obsession with Su Xin was slightly weaker, it would have been
It's impossible to survive...
But overall, Zhu ignored the many preparations he made in the early stage and played a sufficient role.
Not to mention anything else, after making the bet, he decisively killed most of the princes and grandsons, leaving only a few of the most promising princes and grandsons to ascend the throne.
Let them, the so-called "winners", choose...
How many people can do this kind of ruthless, decisive and far-sighted move?
Therefore, no matter whether he chose King Yan or Zhu Yunwen in the end, or killed Zhu Yunwen and King Yan, and chose several other princes and grandsons who were still alive at the time, he would ultimately fall into Zhu Wuwu's plan, which had been planned for a long time.
Zhu ignored such a struggle and survived, which is not unfair!
Jiang Dali fixed his gaze and ended the conversation with him. His eyes shot out a superb divine light, penetrating into Zhu Wuwu's vicissitudes of life and said, "All doubts have been resolved now. I only ask you one question, do you want the country or the beauty?"
?”
Zhu Wuwu lowered the Heavenly Wrath Sword in his hand, turned his head and stared at Su Xin, his eyes shining as passionately as an innocent child, and murmured to himself, "There are so many beauties in the country, and countless heroes are attracted to bend their waists!
Brother Jiang, if you and I are on the same road, there will eventually be a sword at the end of the road.
If you and I were on different paths, we would still be facing each other at the end of the road!"
Jiang Dali's face became solemn and he said in a deep voice, "I don't care about your past path. I only ask you, how do you want to take the current path?"
Zhu Wuwang looked up to the sky and laughed, looking very happy. He turned around under the strange eyes of Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo, and looked deeply into Jiang Dali's eyes without blinking, with a heart-stopping look flashing in his eyes.
Jingguang said sincerely, "Brother Jiang, I once had all the power, but never had happiness. Now that my happiness is coming, what choice do you think I should make? I only hope that you can treat Mingshi kindly. This is my life."
It is the last request of the Zhu family.
Finally, you have shown such great kindness to me and Su Xin, and I will definitely repay this kindness!"
Cheng Shifei stared at Zhu Wuwu in astonishment. He didn't understand what Zhu Yunwen meant. Why did he seem to be so close to his mother? What did he mean by what he said now?
