Chapter 232: Zhao Fengya's pledge of allegiance! Xuanyuan Dapan's death!
When Xuanyuan Jingcheng and his daughter were stopped by Xuanyuan Dapan, two masters were strolling in the rain on a path several miles away.
The two men were in the rain but their clothes were neat and tidy. When the rain fell on them, it was gently swept away by the sword energy.
One of them was none other than the old sword god Li Chungang, who had come specially to watch the fun. He visited the tomb of Fengdu Green Robe and then wandered around without any worries.
Another middle-aged man was riding a donkey upside down, twisting a peach blossom in his hand, looking leisurely and contented.
The old Sword God Li Chungang and the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a, both of them are now at the level of half-step earth immortals. They can be said to be the two strongest people in the swordsmanship of the Liyang Dynasty.
"Old Sword God, since you said you would no longer get involved in the mess between Beiliang and Shazhou, why did you come here?"
Li Chungang pulled out a chicken leg from his arms and began to chew it happily. "Of course I'm here to watch the show."
"Xu Xiao announced to the world that so many martial arts sects have come, including Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Dongyue Sword Pond, Huishan Xuanyuan Family, and relatives like you are also invited."
"So many masters have come. Xu Xiao wants to use the Liyang martial arts world to deal with Li Changan. There are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Tang Palace. This is a major event that only happens once every few decades in the martial arts world."
Deng Tai'a shook the peach blossom in his hand and denied Li Chungang's statement, "I am not a relative of Xu Xiao."
"I have only received great kindness from the late Princess Wu Su. I am here just to repay the favor, just like you helped Beiliang in the past."
Deng Tai'a was the illegitimate son of the Wu family's sword tomb and was somewhat related to Wu Su. Wu Su helped Deng Tai'a when he was in the most difficult time and also taught him some swordsmanship.
Therefore, Deng Tai'a did not come to help Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, but because of Wu Su's kindness.
The two were chatting casually when they were suddenly startled by the astonishing celestial phenomenon several miles away.
I saw a heavy storm on a hillside, a hurricane and heavy rain swept up, and thunder fell from the sky!
Even from miles away, you can see the amazing celestial phenomena and hear the roaring thunder!
Li Chungang took a bite of the chicken leg and said with interest, "The dispute between the great celestial phenomenon of the martial arts and the great celestial phenomenon of the Confucian school!"
"Generally speaking, Wufu Vajra, Zhixuan, and Tianxiang are stronger than Buddhist Vajra, Taoist Zhixuan, and Confucian Tianxiang."
“But once you enter a great realm, it’s hard to say. After all, you, Deng Tai’a, are also considered a great warrior.”
“But your cultivation is higher, almost comparable to me, so the younger generation in the martial arts world give you face and call you Peach Blossom Sword God, Half-step Sword Immortal!”
Li Chungang is a senior, and his current realm is indeed higher than Deng Tai'a.
He pointed to the place where Xuanyuan's grandfather and grandson fought and said, "Old Sword God is right. The realm of that warrior Da Tianxiang is only slightly lower than mine."
"His opponent, the Great Celestial Phenomenon of the Confucian Sect, is obviously at an unstable level, but his strength is inferior."
While Deng Tai'a was still talking, Li Chungang had already quickened his pace, obviously driven by curiosity to watch the fun.
After all, it is a battle close to that of land immortals, which is not something that can be seen everywhere.
In the wind and rain, blood was oozing from the corners of Xuanyuan Jingcheng's mouth, and he was obviously struggling to hold on.
Xuanyuan Dapan's realm is solid. Although his path is not right, his strength is accumulated bit by bit.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng had been studying and seeking enlightenment for a short time, and he was not determined enough, so he was gradually becoming no match for Xuanyuan Dapan.
In the wind and rain, thunders struck, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng's pale face turned ferocious with anger in the lightning.
"The entire Xuanyuan family, under the leadership of our ancestor, is a den of filth!"
"It's time for this filthy Xuanyuan family to change!"
Listening to Xuanyuan Jingcheng's angry accusations, Xuanyuan Dapan just sneered indifferently.
"Naive, there is no clean place in this world. You are just a scholar. Even if you enter the Great Celestial Phenomenon, you are no match for the ancestor!"
Xuanyuan Jingcheng glanced at his daughter and roared into the hurricane, "So what if he's just a scholar!
Don't laugh at the scholar's lack of courage, he dares to let the world sink into the sea!"
With his true Qi surging, Xuanyuan Jingcheng threw a punch, but it was blocked by Xuanyuan Dapan's protective true Qi.
Xuanyuan Dapan showed a smug look on his face, and his smile showed contempt, "Your great celestial phenomenon cannot kill me."
While the two were confronting each other, Li Chungang and Deng Tai'a also arrived not far away.
Li Chungang sighed, "Isn't this our defeated general Xuanyuan Dapan? He has made great progress over the years."
Deng Tai'a took a look and said, "It looks like there is an internal fight in the Xuanyuan family. It's better not to interfere."
Li Chungang also said, "Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong in the world."
"Who knows if it's a tiger eating its own cubs, or if it's a man who betrays his teacher and destroys his ancestors."
Two people were standing on the treetop, and there were several people rushing towards them from under the tree.
Among them was a young man with tied hair, red lips and white teeth, wearing a light yellow long gown, and a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Zhang Heng, Sun Diaosi, hurry up, or they will be done with the fight!"
When the young man opened his mouth, he found a woman with a clear voice. It was Princess Suizhu who happened to be nearby.
The man behind him, named Zhang Heng, is a dual-blade master at the Zhixuan realm, and is also her strongest bodyguard when she goes out incognito.
Zhang Heng is the son of the fallen emperor of Dongyue, but like Dongyue Jianchi, he defected to the Liyang court.
Sun Diaosi grabbed Zhao Fengya's sleeve and advised again, "Sir, don't come close. Be careful not to get into trouble."
Zhao Fengya frowned and pushed him away, quite impatiently, "Coward!"
"We are already near Beiliang. Now Beiliang has been defeated by Shazhou and is respectful to the imperial court. What danger can there be?"
Sun Diaosi, who was not very skilled in martial arts, was out of breath. "Sir, you are worth a lot of money, please be careful."
After the old eunuch finished speaking, he glared at Zhang Heng and said, "It's all your fault. You said this was a fight between celestial beings and it's rare to see it."
Zhao Fengya, who grew up in the deep palace, rarely leaves the palace. Of course, she would not let go easily when she saw such a scene of masters fighting.
The emperor has only one daughter, who has been spoiled since childhood and will not listen to anyone except the emperor and empress.
As they were talking, the group had already reached the mountainside and saw the center of the hurricane and rainstorm.
The tornado, which was more than ten feet high, was mixed with thunder and lightning, making it impossible for people to open their eyes a hundred feet away, and the entire mountainside was covered with flying sand and rocks.
Zhao Fengya said in surprise, "Oh my god, this is the power of the Celestial Realm!"
Tai'an City is full of hidden talents, but poor Zhao Fengya has never seen a fight between two masters.
Zhang Heng was also very excited when he saw the confrontation between the two great celestial phenomena. "The black-haired guy is almost dying."
"The one with white hair is still better. He can handle it with ease."
Xuanyuan Jingcheng was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He had almost tried his best, but he still couldn't hurt Xuanyuan Dapan.
Xuanyuan Dapan laughed loudly in the rainstorm, "Hahaha! Didn't you have an epiphany?"
"Try to go up one level. If you can reach the realm of earthly immortals, you may have a chance to hurt me!"
Xuanyuan Jingcheng knew that if he forcibly promoted himself to a land immortal, his combat power would certainly be stronger, but he would also be exhausted.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng was so anxious that she burst into tears, but she could not help at all. She knew that this was the last struggle of the father and daughter.
She slowly drew out the sword and put it on her neck. If Xuanyuan Jingcheng was killed, she would commit suicide without hesitation. At this moment, a young man's voice came from the top of the woods not far away.
"If one Confucian celestial phenomenon can't kill you, another one might be able to kill you!"
Xuanyuan Dapan looked back and saw three people at the top of the woods, coming against the wind as if they were walking on the waves.
A young man in fine clothes, with a young man in a silk scarf, and a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard.
Li Changan brought Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhengchun to keep the appointment with Xuanyuan Jingcheng.
Li Changan helped Xuanyuan Jingcheng get rid of Xuanyuan Dapan in exchange for the loyalty of the Xuanyuan family.
Although Xuanyuan Jingcheng's realm is unstable now, he is also a great Confucian figure, and the Xuanyuan family has a very high status in the world.
More importantly, the Xuanyuan family is located in the heart of Liyang, which can be used as Li Changan's hidden chess piece.
Xuanyuan Dapan exclaimed, "Who are you, sir? What do you want to do?"
He keenly felt that the cultivation base of these three people was above the Wu Fu Tian Xiang realm!
The person who just spoke was Zhuge Liang, who was also a great astronomical figure of the Confucian school. After he finished speaking, the descendants had already arrived behind the Xuanyuan Dapan.
With the addition of Zhuge Liang, Xuanyuan Jingcheng's power to mobilize celestial phenomena became stronger.
Zhuge Liang said calmly, "Ancestor Xuanyuan has gone astray. It is better to stop this evil path that harms others and oneself as soon as possible!"
After Li Changan approached, he spotted two sword gods in the distance, "You two, I think you won't interfere in this matter."
Li Chungang chuckled and said, "I don't care. It depends on whether Xu Fengnian's relatives care or not."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Deng Tai'a, "That's Li Chang'an, who abused your nephew twice. Do you want to fight him?"
Deng Tai'a bowed to Li Chang'an and said politely, "Your Excellency's fight with the old Sword God is a draw. This is nothing great. I can do it too."
"But I fully agree with your Excellency's decision to stop the old Sword God from opening the Heavenly Gate and letting the immortals descend to the earth."
"I'm here just to help Xu Xiao do one thing, and I don't want to get involved in irrelevant matters."
Li Changan also nodded. He was another person who, like Li Chungang, wanted to repay a favor to Beiliang.
However, Li Changan's impression of Deng Tai'a is much better than Xu Fengnian's.
In the original novel, Deng Tai'a reached the realm of heaven and guarded the gate of heaven, killing immortals and preventing them from coming down to earth.
This is far more likable than the reincarnation of Lu Zu, Zhenwu, or Baidi.
Zhao Fengya, who was standing under the tree, pointed at the three newcomers and asked in surprise, "Who are those three and what are their strengths?"
Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the three people's true qi that kept their clothes from getting wet by the rain.
"The true qi of the three of them is above the Wu Fu Tian Xiang realm!"
Zhao Fengya's first reaction to seeing so many masters at once was excitement.
"This trip was really worthwhile. I actually met three astronomical masters at the same time!"
Completely different from the emotions of the two young men, Sun Diaosi was already frightened out of his wits, and Han Diaosi, the head of the twelve eunuchs, was only a general.
The simultaneous appearance of three masters of the Celestial Realm is not an easy matter. At least, even the Beiliang Palace may not have such strength.
"Master, let's evacuate this place quickly!"
"The person who can gather so many masters at the same time and is still so young, that person might be Li Changan!"
Hearing the name Li Changan, Zhao Fengya couldn't help but shudder.
Although she didn't know that the young eunuch of Li Yang had noticed the rise of Li Changan's luck, she also knew that Li Changan was more dangerous than Xu Xiao.
This Tang King Li Chang'an was almost in a semi-independent state and ignored all the imperial decrees.
"Sun Diaosi, what are you afraid of? Am I afraid of Li Changan? I have never offended him, and I have hidden my identity now."
There was a hint of coldness in Zhang Heng's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
As a noble of the fallen nation of Dongyue, he had already planned to surrender to Li Changan this time.
Anyway, he has no relatives in Tai'an City and is suspected by the Liyang royal family, so it is better for him to directly join Li Changan, who is also a member of the Chunqiu royal family.
Zhang Heng knew that he had neither the ability nor the obsession to restore his country, so it would be better for him to leave Liyang and live more freely.
Sun Diaosi's words reminded him that if he wanted to surrender to Li Changan, Princess Suizhu would be the best token of his allegiance.
I heard that Li Changan likes beautiful women, and Princess Suizhu is not bad looking, but she is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Liyang. I don't know if Li Changan dares to kidnap her.
At this time, Zhang Heng had already made plans to visit Li Changan privately first, and then decide whether to use Zhao Fengya as a token of his allegiance.
Princess Suizhu obviously had no sense of crisis and had no idea that her bodyguards were planning to use her as a token of their loyalty.
"The old man with white beard is dying!"
She suddenly exclaimed, because Zhuge Liang and Xuanyuan Jingcheng had worked together to break through Xuanyuan Dapan's protective qi.
"Fuck!"
Thunders fell from the sky, and huge fireballs continued to burn rapidly in the rainstorm!
Xuanyuan Dapan had no true energy to protect his body and could only dodge frantically in the wind and rain.
"You two Confucian Great Celestial Phenomena, combined strength can actually rival the Martial Great Celestial Phenomena!"
Li Changan said from a distance, "Kong Ming just said that if you take the wrong path, you will definitely fail."
"Confucianism is all about rectifying one's moral principles. As the saying goes, evil cannot prevail over good. How can you not be defeated?"
Hearing these words, Xuanyuan Dapan suddenly felt a chill from the top of his head to the soles of his feet!
So, the Confucian celestial phenomena actually restrained his martial arts!
Xuanyuan Jingcheng was in a hurry to rescue his daughter and did not wait for his realm to stabilize, so he was no match for him.
But now, with the cooperation of Zhuge Liang, the two great Confucian celestial phenomena joined forces, and the situation was reversed in an instant!
Thunder and fireballs kept falling to the ground, and Xuanyuan Dapan wanted to escape but was blocked by a hurricane.
When he had just caught up with them today, he was still full of confidence, thinking that it was just a small struggle by Xuanyuan Jingcheng and his daughter.
It is really unexpected that Xuanyuan Jingcheng actually has a powerful helper hidden.
"Jingcheng, let's talk it out. We are a family after all."
"I agree to let Qing Feng be the head of the family. From now on, I will retire to the mountains and forests and no longer ask about the affairs of the Xuanyuan family. What do you think?"
While Xuanyuan Dapan was fleeing in a panic, he had actually begun begging for mercy and peace.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit half of Xuanyuan Dapan's body.
Amid the roaring thunder, Xuanyuan Jingcheng's cold voice could be heard.
"Please, ancestor, go and die!"
