Chapter 377: Imperial City Conflict
In the early morning, a gentle drizzle began to fall on the Endless Continent, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and everything began to wake up.
The imperial city is divided into four mouths, east, west, north and south, and each mouth has an archway of a bronze statue of a divine beast, which is the Qinglong Gate in the east, the White Tiger Gate in the west, the Vermilion Bird Gate in the south, and the Xuanwu Gate in the north. Each gate corresponds to a street named after the gate, and if each street is spliced together, it becomes a cross, and the center of the cross is the imperial palace of the Daisen Dynasty, and there are four ministers in the dynasty who are in charge of each of the four streets, which serve as a deterrent.
The heavenly streets in the east, west, north and south of the imperial city were filled with the sound of roadside stalls and vendors, the sound of iron striking in the weapon shop, the sound of fists in the tavern, and the sound of the neat steps of patrolling the forbidden immortal army. The streets are filled with the inhabitants of the outer three continents, the middle three continents, and the inner three continents, and since the Linglong Immortal broke the boundaries of the three continents, the people in the imperial city seem to be coming and going.
In a certain castle in the imperial city, in the garden, there were rockeries and flowers and plants, a man meditated on the rockery with his eyes closed, letting the drizzle fall on his body, his hair and clothes were already soaked, but it was obvious that he had been cultivating here for a long time.
During the time he came to the Imperial City, Zhou Wen was arranged to live in Dugu Batian's mansion.
Another spring thunder sounded, "Whew", I saw Zhou Wen's eyes open, and there was a golden light in his eyes.
"Entering the world and unifying all laws have made another point of refinement, although the boundaries have been lifted, the land of Inner Sanlu is still very beneficial to people."
When Zhou Wen was practicing, he always felt that someone had been watching, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Dugu Batian.
"Senior nephew, I'm still used to living here, why don't we go and have a drink in the Perfume Pavilion" Dugu Batian looked at Zhou Wen with a slight smile.
"The second uncle was invited, and Zhou Wen didn't dare to disobey."
"Hahaha, let's go."
The two of them walked on the Vermilion Bird Street, misty and rainy, willows and willows, let their clothes wash in the rain, and pedestrians were also the same. The Endless Continent has always had the legend that you can't open an umbrella during the first rain of early spring, because it means starting over and following the cycle of all things. After receiving baptism, you will receive gifts from heaven and earth. Although it is only a legend, it brings light to people's lives.
"The light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is nothing. It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital. ”
Zhou Wen was surrounded by such beautiful scenery, and a poem suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Good poetry, good poetry, everyone in the world likes spring, and it is not without cause, such as today's turmoil, dark waves surging, and the spring scene of the endless continent is becoming more and more rare."
As soon as Dugu Batian's words fell, the sound of horses' hooves appeared at one end of the street.
"Get out of the way for Ben Gongzi, get out of the way."
Zhou Wen looked ahead, a fat man riding an out-of-control horse rampaging through the street, the street stalls were smashed into a mess, but the dealer thought he was unlucky. Behind there was a group of people galloping to catch up with the man on horseback. It seems that it should be the son of an official of which dynasty.
Suddenly, the horse turned around and galloped towards Zhou Wen.
"Tell Grandpa to get out of the way, or I'll kill you." The fat man sitting on the horse shouted.
Zhou Wen looked at Dugu Batian beside him and didn't want to make a move, so he immediately shot forward with a palm.
"Hiss" The horse felt a strong threat, and was so frightened that his front hooves were raised, and the fat man did not grasp it with one hand, and was about to roll off the horse.
The group of people who followed jumped forward and helped the fat man.
"Young Master, are you alright?" The group of people was afraid that the fat man would have some injuries, so they hurriedly checked the fat man's body.
The fat man stood up with the support, shook off everyone, and pointed at Zhou Wen with a red face: "I'm angry with me, kill him for Young Master Ben"
Zhou Wen looked to his side and found that Dugu Batian had long since disappeared at this time, and only heard a message that Zhou Wen was listening to the perfume pavilion and meeting him. Zhou Wen sighed secretly, there is such a pit brother.
There were probably twelve followers surrounding Zhou Wen, and each of them was a master of the Dao Realm Four Heavens. Zhou Wen looked at the fat man and was secretly surprised that this person had such a card, it could be the heir of a big force in the palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't intentional here, everyone saw it, it's clear that this horse is coming at me, so it should be reasonable for me to defend appropriately." Zhou Wen wanted to try his best to calm things down, and there were many big forces in the imperial city, worried that they would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Hmph, if you offend my young master, you still want to die for it." One of the men in green clothes said.
After speaking, the man in Tsing Yi disappeared in place and appeared in front of Zhou Wen in a flash, and threw a punch at Zhou Wen, and the punch contained the meaning of killing with one blow.
The fat man and the other eleven followers showed triumphant expressions, and it was the one who fought the strongest among the followers, and this was the end of angering them. Just when they thought Zhou Wen was going to be killed, the scene changed.
A crisp sound of "pop" sounded, and I saw that the fist of the man in Tsing Yi was blocked by Zhou Wen's palm, and he couldn't move forward a bit.
"It's a pity that you've found the wrong opponent." Zhou Wen looked at the man playfully.
"How is it possible, what realm are you" The man in Tsing Yi's eyes were full of incredulity, and he obviously couldn't feel the fluctuation of the other party's palm, but it was such an ordinary palm that resisted his strongest blow.
I saw the golden light in Zhou Wen's palm, and the man in Tsing Yi vomited blood and retreated to the rear and fell unconscious, and the others surrounding Zhou Wen retreated one after another.
The fat man was also taken aback when he saw this scene, and then scolded his entourage, "You guys go up together, you are still afraid of one person, it's really a rice bucket, I raised you for nothing"
The eleven entourages looked at each other helplessly, so they rushed up and rushed towards Zhou Wen.
"I can't help myself." Zhou Wen waved his hand.
"Boom" After a flash of light, all eleven people were knocked to the ground unconscious.
Zhou Wen slowly walked towards the fat man with a graceful and luxurious appearance. The fat man's legs were weak, and there was a look of panic in his eyes.
"You can't kill me, or my dad won't let you go"
"Oh, who is your father," Zhou Wen wondered.
"My father is the prime minister of the dynasty, if you let me go today, I will definitely tell my father to spare your life and ensure that you have no worries in this life." The fat man stared at Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen showed hesitation on his face, so he secretly rejoiced, Zhou Wen seemed to be frightened by the name of the prime minister.
"Is Duan unintentional again, his son is really annoying, since he is not good at discipline, then I will take care of it for him"
Zhou Wen ran his true qi and grabbed it in the air, and the fat man was slowly lifted into the air.
"Smack"
"This palm is for your father, and it will be a bully to beat you."
There was another crisp slap, "This slap is for your mother, and you are stubborn." ”
"This slap is for your third uncle and aunt."
Zhou Wen finally stopped and took a breath, "Whew, I'm so tired, it's really difficult to discipline." ”
The fat man's puffy face was covered with many huge palm prints, and the resentment in his eyes was magnified but to no avail at that moment.
"I'm going to kill you," said the fat man, gritting his teeth as he propped up his swollen face.
"It seems that you are lacking discipline again, right?" Zhou Wen said, wanting to do it again.
At this moment, a huge coercion swept towards Zhou Wen, and the heavens and the earth changed color at this time. Zhou Wen's pupils shrank, and he felt that this familiar coercion was even more terrifying than when he was in the Wuji Palace, and he knew that it was the only prime minister Duan Duan who was the only one today.
An invisible force knocked Zhou Wenfu to the ground. Before the person arrives, the momentum arrives first, this is the eternal way of the strong.
"It's you kid again, I didn't expect you to be the child of destiny, I should have eliminated you in the Infinity Hall that day."
An old man slowly appeared in the air, standing with his hands in his hands, he didn't seem to have any aura of a cultivator, but the invisible coercion generated by his body overwhelmed Zhou Wen, he stroked his sleeves lightly, and eleven followers woke up from their coma, and the first person who was knocked away by Zhou Wen was already weak.
"This old guy's skills have improved a lot, I perceive the strength of the fifth layer or more of the art realm" Zhou Wen was secretly surprised in his heart, the realm of the fifth layer of the art realm and above could not find ten people in the Endless Continent.
"Prime Minister Duan, this matter is your son's fault first, and he has just taught you in the next place, your son is really angry." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Duan had no intention of looking back at the fat man who was slapped and dying. "Tianer, after I go back, the family law will deal with it."
Then he stared at Zhou Wen and said, "There is a rule in the Great Immortal Dynasty that those who deliberately kill in the imperial city should be executed on the spot."
"The prime minister is so majestic, it's obvious that your people did it in advance, but it became my guilt, I want to ask who uses this method" Zhou Wen smiled mockingly.
"Within the confines of Suzaku Heavenly Street, I am the Fa"
Duan unintentionally appeared a token in his hand, and as soon as his mind moved, the words on the token began to turn. Not far away, the bronze statue of the Vermilion Bird on the Suzaku Gate appeared in the eyes, and at this moment a wisp of remnant soul flew out of the bronze statue, and the remnant soul flew above the nine heavens, and the huge red feathers opened like heavenly fire descending, turning into one of the four divine beasts of the Vermilion Bird
Seeing this, the people in the imperial city stopped to watch the power of the divine beast.
"Duan Wuyi actually woke up the divine beast Vermilion Bird." The masters of the major families hidden in the Imperial City sensed the changes in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Street.
"It's not convenient for me to do it here, but Suzaku can."
There is a rule in the taboo of the imperial city, you can't do it above the magic realm, otherwise it will urge the city protection array, causing the joint strangulation of the divine dragon and the divine phoenix.
Suzaku swooped in from thousands of miles in the sky, burning the Nine Heavens True Fire and trying to burn everything. Even if it was just a wisp of remnant soul, its power was enough to fight against the enemies of the Dao Realm Nine Heavens.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen took out a lotus flower from the Burial Heaven Realm, and the flame on the lotus seemed to be excited by something.
Regarding the controversy over the flame rankings, Suzaku's Nine Heavens True Fire has been ranked first since ancient times, and the Six Realms Fire Red Lotus obviously wants to make a name for itself.
The six red lotuses bloomed in a flash, with Zhou Wen as the center, and the karmic fire swirled and rose from the red lotus, approaching the Vermilion Bird that was swooping down
"Six Karma Fire Red Lotus, this son has such an adventure, if he is allowed to continue to grow, the consequences are unimaginable. Now that the beam has been laid, the grass must be cut and eradicated. Duan Wuyi had already made a killing intent towards Zhou Wen in his heart.
"Huh"
I saw Suzaku struggling in the karmic fire for a while, and then spit out a mouthful of Nine Heavens True Fire to break the flame.
It's a fire-to-fire showdown
Zhou Wen hurriedly cast thousands of spells, judged the target location of the Vermilion Bird, and shrank into inches to avoid the attack of the Vermilion Bird, but his soul was still burned by the Nine Heavens True Fire.
At this moment, Zhou Wen could feel Suzaku's anger, only to see that this space was imprisoned by Suzaku's great magical powers, and the magic was impossible to use at this time, and Suzaku was invisible in this space, and Zhou Wen had already entered its absolute realm.
