Chapter 164: The Decisive Battle in the Imperial City

Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yanguo, and the Ghost King of Bishan came to the Qianyang Gate unimpeded along the central axis of the imperial city.

This gate is the dividing line between the outer court and the inner court of the palace.

It sits on a white marble Sumeru seat, surrounded by a carved stone fence, and a pair of bronze lions are placed outside the door, staring at them with a majestic appearance.

It seems that the red walls and gold tiles in the palace, the carved railings and jade masonry awaken the memories of the ghost king of the mountain to the past of the previous dynasty.

In his dark eyes, there was a faint flickering and dancing of crazy flames.

And the black fog around him also turned into a surging tsunami, rushing towards the palace gate in front of him, as if to completely destroy this gorgeous and magnificent building and turn it into ruins.

"Wait, the enemy is coming." At this time, Zhao Changying, who was next to him, suddenly spoke.

The Ghost King of Bishan turned his head slightly, and at a glance, he saw two people appear not far in front of him out of thin air.

One of them was dressed in a cloth shirt, short in stature, with a dark complexion and an ordinary appearance; The other was tall and thin, with a clear appearance, long hair and a personable demeanor.

It is Luo Chuan, the head of the Great Qi National Teacher and the Exorcism Division.

Seeing these two people, Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yan Guo, was full of emotion in his heart - in the days when he was lying on his salary and trying his courage and cultivating his glory, he lived with these two people among the "Five Sages", and in the minds of the people of Daqi, he should be regarded as the weakest one among the "Five Sages".

On the one hand, he didn't have the awesome records of "sealing the nine infants" and "submitting the nightlight" between talking and laughing; On the other hand, most people felt that a monk who was proficient in runes or heavenly tricks was a little more high-end and high-grade than a vulgar martial artist like him.

But now it's different.

He showed the cultivation of the eighth realm, detached himself from the ranks of the "Five Sages", and became another "True Monarch" powerhouse of the Great Qi Dynasty after Emperor Tianxing.

Therefore, although his expression was serious and cautious, deep down, he couldn't help but have a little pride.

After all, the saints of the Great Qi Dynasty are all the best among the people, a generation of grandmasters, and none of them are simple characters.

And he, Zhao Changying, walked in front of these people.

I saw Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, take a step forward, his eyes first swept over the Ghost King of Bishan, and reprimanded loudly in a stern tone: "Bold evil ghosts, dare to destroy the Great Array and trespass into the Imperial City!"

"I'll give you three breaths now, take your demons and monsters, and get out of Luojing! Otherwise, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I will let you disappear immediately, and then end your lair!" ”

Luo Chuan's eyes were like torches, his waist was straight, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, looking at death as home.

The Ghost King of Bishan laughed: "I don't think you have this ability!" ”

Although the Ghost King of Bishan didn't understand what Luo Chuan's purpose was, this did not prevent him from accompanying Luo Chuan to perform a play here.

Then, Luo Chuan looked at Zhao Changying, who was beside the Ghost King, and sighed softly, with regret in his voice: "Old Zhao, I have always regarded you as a close friend and like-minded partner. I thought that before I became a minister, we could all be in the same court, assist the same king, and realize the ideal of eliminating ghosts and monsters and bringing peace to the world. ”

"I never imagined that one day we would be on opposite sides of each other like this.

"Can you tell me what is wrong with the imperial court that makes you make such a choice?"

Zhao Changying smiled: "You asked me what the imperial court couldn't do with me...... Then I will ask rhetorically, why was my wife assassinated in Luojing City under the protection of the 'Heavenly Dragon Array'? Why are the armies of the northern frontier constantly being dismantled for no apparent reason? Why is Luojing City full of rumors about our Youzhou Zhao family? ”

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here," Luo Chuan's face showed a helpless smile, "I wonder if you can put down your weapons first, and we can have a good talk?" ”

"Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan, I don't know if you are really confused, or if you are pretending to be confused," Zhao Changying said coldly, "You should be able to see that I have broken through the eighth realm now." If you stop me again, I will not show mercy. ”

"Lao Zhao, calm down," Luo Chuan looked at him with pleading eyes, "Have you ever thought about what happened to you?" Do you really want to be recorded in the history books as a rebellious minister and thief who colludes with ghosts and plagues the society? It's too late for you to regret it now. ”

"What's going on?" Zhao Changying shook her head slightly, "I don't care anymore." ”

As he spoke, he waved the spear in his hand and stabbed at Luo Chuan in front of him.

The tip of the spear burst into scorching flames, as if to vaporize everything around it.

"Let's do it," Luo Chuan glanced at the national teacher beside him, "Even if we die here today, we will never let you get one step closer to Your Majesty." ”

Then he waved his hand and summoned his magic weapon, the bronze mirror, out of thin air.

Only a "bang" was heard, and the bronze mirror was like a shield, blocking the fatal blow of the spear.

But at the same time, Luo Chuan also staggered back a few steps, his face was pale, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Zhao Changying, you can really hide." He sighed.

Zhao Changying was vengeful and ignored him.

He swung his spear again and swept towards Luo Chuan's waist.

This time, as the flames of his spear tip intensified, the temperature around him rose rapidly, and the surrounding scenery became distorted, as if through an uneven glass cover.

Luo Chuan clearly felt that his connection with the stars in the sky seemed to be severed. For the time being, he couldn't use the power of the stars to speculate on the other party's next move.

He knew that Zhao Changying had used the "Dao Rule Domain".

This is the ability that only the "true monarch" strong possess - by changing the rules of the law, strengthen themselves, weaken their opponents, and turn the battlefield into a home field conducive to their own battles.

Luo Chuan had a solemn expression on his face.

He raised his right hand and held it into the air, and suddenly an invisible long sword condensed by True Yuan appeared in his hand.

Although in the world's perception, Luo Chuan specializes in the art of heavenly deduction, he also has profound attainments in swordsmanship, and the "Sword of the Sea of Clouds and Stars" mastered by Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin was created by him.

He held the invisible long sword across his chest and used the third style of the "Yunhai Xinghe Sword" "Tianhe Night Turn" to try to resist Zhao Changying's fierce attack.

However, a few seconds later, this invisible long sword quickly evaporated under the scorching flames of Zhao Changying.

Luo Chuan also seems to have been counterattacked by Zhenyuan.

He vomited another mouthful of blood, his face turned even paler, and then his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground, fainting.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Changying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: Although I am now a realm higher than Luo Chuan, he will not be so unbearable, right? I'm still tempting, why did he fall?

The national teacher next to him suddenly felt a huge pressure.

He was entangled with the Ghost King of the Mountain.

This evil ghost is not only powerful, but also has mastered their spells and supernatural powers after making many monks into "ghost attendants", and the means are endless.

Occasionally, the national teacher can also recognize that a certain move used by the Ghost King of Bishan once belonged to a missing former member of the "Divine Machine Battalion".

For example, Su Hao's "Easy Walk", Mao Chichang's "Five Poison Gong", Wu Angelica's "Toad Boxing", etc., all reappeared clearly in front of the national teacher with the help of the ghost king of Bishan.

This makes the national teacher feel very complicated.

He took out almost all the talismans and seals that he had drawn before in the storage magic weapon, and he barely managed to compete with the Ghost King of Pishan Mountain.

But now, Luo Chuan didn't survive two moves in Zhao Changying's hands before he fell.

This means that the national teacher needs to use one enemy and two to stop a "True Monarch" level powerhouse and a "Fierce God" level ghost in front of Qianyang Gate.

"Even if I die here, I must not let them get close to the emperor."

While thinking, the national teacher poured all the true yuan in his body and gathered it at his fingertips.

Then he used heaven and earth as paper and true yuan as ink, and began to build a huge talisman array.

This is the "cage of heaven and earth", which can be regarded as the strongest talisman mastered by the national teacher. When he sealed the "Nine Baby Snake Demon" in Qingzhou Mansion, he used this trick.

But the enemies he was facing now, one was a cultivator of the eighth realm, and the other was a "fierce god" level ghost whose strength was close to the eighth realm, all of which were far more powerful than the "Nine Infant Snake Demon".

Soon, in front of the Qianyang Gate, countless silver rays of light intertwined, forming a huge cage, covering Zhao Changying and the Ghost King of Bishan inside.

The short figure of the national teacher instantly became a lot haggard, and there were a few more wrinkles on his forehead.

A metal ring in his hand was also broken into countless pieces.

This magic weapon is called the "Ring of Spirits", and it can store surplus true elements from the cultivation process on weekdays and release them in battle, thus enhancing the effect of spells - the more true elements stored, the more obvious the strengthening effect will be.

But because the national teacher squeezed it too hard, this magic weapon was completely scrapped.

However, the national teacher no longer has the heart to pity a magic weapon.

He only thought that maybe today, he would die in front of this Qianyang Gate and repay Jun's grace with a death.

As the "Heaven and Earth Prison Cage" gradually took shape, the Ghost King of Bishan also raised the "Jingshan Bi" in his hand, controlling several strong yin and evil qi in Luojing City, and launched a fierce attack on the giant talisman array of the national teacher.

Zhao Changying gave full play to the advantages of melee martial arts.

While he blocked this space with the help of the "Dao Rule Domain" to prevent the National Teacher from using the power of the Great Dao, he used his body technique to go around the side and back of the National Teacher, and the spear was like lightning, pointing directly at the throat of the National Teacher.

In fact, in private, Zhao Changying has a lot of respect for the national teacher.

is not only because of the profound attainments of the national teacher, but also because the national teacher is a real selfless, loyal and patriotic person - he seems to really regard national affairs as his own business, and he is worried about it all the time.

"It's a pity that a person like the national teacher is loyal to a monarch who ignores the government and plays with power." Zhao Changying has always thought so.

Therefore, Zhao Changying didn't really want to be the enemy of the national teacher in her heart.

The purpose of his fierce blow to the national teacher was not to take the opponent's life, but to interrupt the opponent's spell casting and make the opponent retreat.

But the national teacher seems to have a will to die.

When the tip of Zhao Changying's spear was close to his skin, not only did he not stop casting spells, but his gaze became more determined.

"He's burning his true element!"

Seeing the rapidly increasing wrinkles on the national teacher's face, as well as the extra gray sideburns in an instant, Zhao Changying was suddenly shocked.

He has already understood the thoughts of the national teacher-

The national teacher knew that he couldn't defeat two strong enemies, so he decided to spontaneously combust the true yuan, using his own life as fuel to turn the "Heaven and Earth Prison Cage" into a permanent seal, and keep them out of the Qianyang Gate forever.

"What a madman."

Zhao Changying said this, but in his heart, he felt more and more unworthy for the national teacher: The emperor in the Qianyang Palace, is it really worth your doing?

The next moment, Zhao Changying changed the direction of the spear slightlyβ€”the tip of the spear brushed against the neck of the national teacher, without hurting his life.

Then, his empty left hand slapped the back of the national teacher's head.

The power of the law poured into the meridians of the national teacher, interrupting his spell casting, and also interrupting his act of spontaneously combusting the true element.

"You ......"

The national teacher's eyes froze, and his face was like ashes.

It seems that Zhao Changying's move completely crushed his spiritual pillar.

"Change the emperor's allegiance, and you will have an easier time than you do now." Zhao Changying sighed lightly.

Then the true yuan in his palm surged, making the national teacher faint.

In front of the Eighth Realm "True Monarch", the Seventh Realm monk is indeed like a mantis arm as a car, even if he fights for his life, he has no power to return to the sky.

Successfully solved the national teacher and Luo Si head, Zhao Changying and the ghost king of Bishan together, through the Qianyang Gate, came to the Danying carved and magnificent Qianyang Palace.

On the high white marble steps, there stood a figure wearing a crown and a bright yellow imperial robe.

He held a simple long sword in his hand, his eyes were bright and gilded, and he looked at the two of them condescendingly.

Zhao Changying knew that this person was Emperor Tianxing.

But for some reason, looking at the Tianxing Emperor in front of him, Zhao Changying couldn't help but think of the appearance of the "Shangcang" god statue - to be precise, the appearance of "Taishang Haotian".

Especially being watched by those golden eyes, Zhao Changying's heart felt pressure, and it seemed that all his secrets were exposed under the other party's sight.

Obviously, both of them are Eighth Realm cultivators.

But Zhao Changying was stunned by these golden eyes, and involuntarily took two steps back, and even her knees were weak, and she was almost about to kneel on the ground and bow to the other party.

It's like worshipping the gods in front of the altar.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Changying was deeply shocked by this.

In his memory, the last time the two met, Emperor Tianxing did not have this terrifying momentum.

Could it be that after many years of retreat and practice, Emperor Tianxing had made another breakthrough in his strength?

Or is it because of the sword in his hand?

Zhao Changying stared at the "Tai'a Sword" in Emperor Tianxing's hand, and his gaze became more and more solemn.

Although he had been planning for many years and had made very adequate preparations for today's revenge, at this moment, he still felt that he seemed to underestimate the strength of his opponent.

…………

Gu Xu didn't know that he had inexplicably become a thief in the eyes of Emperor Tianxing.

With the help of the space passage, he and Zhao Yan left the royal treasury.

At this time, Luojing City was already in a mess.

The ground was littered with undried blood, corpses that had not yet been dissipated, and severed limbs.

Some people became food for the ghosts, while others died in the process of fleeing from the push and trampling of the crowd.

Seeing this shocking scene, both of them were extremely heavy.

Especially Zhao Yan, when she thought that her father was an accomplice of the ghosts, she felt that a lot of blood debts were pressing on her, and countless unjust souls cried in her ears, making her breathless.

At this time, Gu Xu heard a familiar voice faintly not far away: "Mr. Hu, I'm ...... My head hurts...... I can't hold on anymore......"

This is undoubtedly Shi Xiaohan's voice.

Her voice was faint, like a candle flickering in the north wind, ready to be blown out at any moment.

Gu Xu couldn't help but clench his fists.

His gaze was as cold as ice, but the true yuan in his body was like boiling magma, surging.

Then he heard an old hoarse voice: "Don't scream. Just hold on a little longer. ”
