327: Chapter 327 Crush Him for Me

"Empress, your abacus beads are popping right onto my face; do you really think I would agree to this?" Chen Hu looked at the Great Zhou Empress, speechless.

"How so? I am, at the very least, a monarch of a nation. Am I not worthy of being your Empress?" the Great Zhou Empress said, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.

"This isn't a question of worthiness; it's that I already have an Empress!"

Chen Hu explained, "Furthermore, even if I don't agree to any of your conditions, I can still take down the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Hmph, although you are a Hunyuan Martial Saint, you are inevitably too arrogant!"

The Great Zhou Empress snorted coldly, "Everyone, come out! Take him down!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Figures flickered continuously. In an instant, fifty-two Gang-Refining Experts appeared in the great hall, along with the Great Zhou Empress herself.

"Kill!"

A female Gang-Refining Expert struck first.

The long spear in her hand transformed into numerous cold stars, each one striking toward Chen Hu's fatal points and vital acupoints.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Yet, when these cold stars landed on Chen Hu, they emitted the sound of metal clashing against metal, failing to even pierce his clothes.

Seeing this, the other Gang-Refining Experts also unleashed their techniques, attacking Chen Hu.

With a thought.

Chen Hu cast the Golden Light Spell.

Instantly, a golden light shield enveloped his body and the surrounding two meters.

As the golden light shield appeared, it blocked the attacks of more than fifty Gang-Refining Experts.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sounds of impact and explosions rang out in succession.

However, they could not shake the golden light shield in the slightest; their attacks couldn't even cause a ripple on the golden light shield.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, the Great Zhou Empress's small mouth parted slightly. The combined attacks of fifty-two Gang-Refining Experts couldn't even break Chen Hu's defense.

"Form the Formation!"

Vermilion Bird, her face covered in frost, immediately gave the order.

In order to deal with Chen Hu, the Great Zhou Empress had previously ordered her people to Cultivate a joint-attack Formation.

The next moment, eleven Gang-Refining Experts coordinated with Vermilion Bird to form the joint-attack Formation.

"Break for me!"

A massive amount of Gang Qi surged into Vermilion Bird's body; even though she was in the Late Stage of Qi Refining, she struggled to hold on.

Finally, she condensed all the Gang Qi in her body into a single strike, blasting it against the golden light shield.

"This move is not bad!"

Inside the golden light shield, Chen Hu commented. The strike erupted from the joint-attack Formation was already very close to that of a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

Unfortunately, it still did not shake the golden light shield.

This golden light shield was a Golden Core level Spell.

Even a Late Stage Hunyuan Martial Saint could not shake it in the slightest, let alone an attack approaching that of a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

After seeing that even the joint-attack Formation could not shake Chen Hu's defense, the Great Zhou Empress couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Similarly, those Gang-Refining Experts were filled with extreme panic.

Chen Hu didn't even fight back, letting them attack as they pleased, yet they still couldn't break his defense.

To be precise, they didn't even have the qualifications to shake his defense.

Once Chen Hu made a move, what a terrifying state that would reach.

Consequently, some of the Liangang Realm experts who did not belong to the royal family began to think about slipping away.

The group of Liangang Realm experts attacked for a while longer, but finding Chen Hu inside the light shield yawning out of boredom, some Liangang Realm experts finally couldn't suppress their inner terror and pulled away, drifting toward the outside of the great hall.

"You want to run after attacking? Is there such a good thing?"

Suddenly, Chen Hu's voice rang out. The Gang-Refining Expert who had just escaped to the great hall door secretly thought, "Not good," and couldn't help but accelerate toward the outside of the hall.

But just at this moment.

A large golden hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the escaping Liangang Realm expert.

No matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the shackles of the large golden palm.

Seeing this, the morale of the other Liangang Realm experts plummeted instantly.

Several Liangang Realm experts exchanged glances rapidly. Then, two Liangang Realm experts headed toward the side hall, while two others soared into the air, intending to break through the roof of the great hall to escape.

Another person rushed toward the gate of the great hall.

At this moment, five more large golden hands appeared, capturing the five escaping Liangang Realm experts.

"Stop, all of you!"

At this moment, the Empress called out with a sense of despondency.

Because she knew that continuing to fight was useless.

These Liangang Realm experts were simply no match for Chen Hu.

Hearing this, the group of Liangang Realm experts retreated to the Empress's sides.

Chen Hu then withdrew the light shield and looked at the Empress playfully, "Now, are you willing to surrender?"

The expression on the Empress's face changed several times in succession.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and said, "I am willing to surrender!"

"Very well, gather your ministers immediately and announce the surrender!" Chen Hu said.

Hearing this, the Empress immediately ordered people to send word, instructing all ministers of the fifth rank and above to enter the palace.

Half an hour later.

All the Great Zhou officials qualified to attend the Great Court Meeting gathered in a great hall.

Subsequently, the Great Zhou Empress appeared and announced that the Great Zhou would henceforth be annexed into the Great Qian Kingdom.

Instantly, the ministers below couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

What Chen Hu found surprising was.

No one actually jumped out to oppose it.

Originally, he had wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but now it seemed there was no need for that.

In reality, it was because the Empress had secretly leaked the news that over fifty Liangang Realm experts had besieged Chen Hu and failed to break his defense.

The ministers who learned the news were naturally not stupid.

Even fifty-plus Liangang Realm experts couldn't do anything to Chen Hu.

What use would it be for them to jump out and oppose him, other than to throw their lives away?

Moreover, they had also inquired about the situation in the Great Xia.

As long as they didn't oppose Chen Hu, Chen Hu wouldn't touch them, these officials, for the time being.

Subsequently, at Chen Hu's request.

The Great Zhou Empress directly issued an imperial edict to inform the whole country that the Great Zhou was annexed into the Great Qian Kingdom.

Chen Hu then cast the Amplification Technique once more, his voice spreading across the ten thousand miles of the Great Zhou territory: "I am the Emperor of the Great Qian, Chen Hu. I announce that the Great Zhou is now officially annexed into the Great Qian. From this moment on, civilians and farmers are exempt from taxes for three years!"

After shouting three times, Chen Hu changed locations and continued to shout.

Soon, everyone within the Great Zhou territory heard his voice.

And the number of his followers began to skyrocket.

Half an hour later.

The number of Chen Hu's followers reached 3.488 billion directly.

Moreover, this number was still climbing steadily.

Thinking of this.

Chen Hu decided to take down the Great Qin in one fell swoop today.

Consequently, he cast Near and Far and appeared inside the Great Qin imperial palace.

Compared to the other nations, the atmosphere within the Great Qin imperial palace was solemn.

Coincidentally, the Great Qin Emperor, Emperor Zhao Zheng, was once again convening his ministers to discuss matters precisely because Chen Hu had annexed the Great Zhou.

Swish!

Chen Hu's figure appeared abruptly inside the great hall.

The Great Qin Emperor, Emperor Zhao Zheng, suddenly looked up, coldly staring at Chen Hu, "You shouldn't have come!"

"But I have come anyway!"

"Hmph, since you have come, then die!"

Emperor Zhao Zheng snorted coldly. Immediately, the floor of the great hall shattered, and twelve golden giants emerged from underground.

The moment these golden giants appeared, they formed a unique magnetic field. All the ministers were ejected from the magnetic field, leaving Chen Hu alone inside.

"Chen Hu, although you are a Hunyuan Martial Saint, you definitely cannot defeat my Twelve Golden Men. Your annexation of the three nations is all just making a wedding dress for me, hahaha!" Emperor Zhao Zheng said with a face full of smiles.

But Chen Hu, located within the Golden Men Formation, did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he examined Emperor Zhao Zheng with great interest, "I didn't expect that you are actually a Warlock Genius, having Cultivated your Warlock arts to the Heavenly Monarch Realm!"

"You only realize this now? It's too late!"

Emperor Zhao Zheng wore a smug expression. He gave an order to the Twelve Golden Men, pointing at Chen Hu, and said word by word, "Crush—him—for—me!"
