Chapter 256 Nineteen stops and chops Luoyang! One man kills ten thousand people!
Longhu Mountain.
The nine golden lotuses of fortune were all absorbed by Li Changan, and the fortune that had been nurtured in Longhu Mountain for a hundred years disappeared without a trace.
The black dragon was also killed by Li Changan with one sword. The Heavenly Master and disciples of Longhu Mountain on the mountainside were all killed by Nangong Pushe alone.
The True Dragon Subduing Demon Formation was broken, and Longhu Mountain was completely finished.
Zhao Huangchao watched all this with dull eyes. Hundreds of years of business were destroyed in an instant. He was so sad that he could not even cry. He felt like he would rather die than live.
But the next moment, the sea of clouds, mountains and fog in front of his eyes suddenly blurred, the nine golden lotuses slowly reunited, the roar of dragons continued in the abyss under his feet, the entire Longhu Mountain was filled with great fortune, and people in the sect ascended to become immortals one after another.
Then, many famous generals emerged in the Liyang Dynasty, the situation turned from danger to safety, and the country was unified again. Under the management of several generations of wise rulers, the sea was peaceful and the river was prosperous, and the country was forever stable. The Liyang Dynasty surpassed the Qin and Feng dynasties and became the most powerful dynasty in history.
Nangong Pushe killed all the disciples of Longhu Mountain who were setting up the battle array, and lightly jumped above the clouds. He saw Li Changan with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhao Huangchao opposite him with a smile in his eyes.
Zhao Huangchao stood on a huge rock at the edge of the abyss, dancing with joy and clapping his hands, with an intoxicated and serene look on his face. His face was ruddy and radiant, and he was muttering something, as if he had seen the most beautiful scene in the world.
"He's possessed?"
"No, he became an immortal."
Since he had mastered the Immortal Palace Phantom of the Sacred Heart Sutra, Li Changan had never had the chance to use it. Now that Zhao Huangchao was alone and his mind was shaken after the great formation was broken, it was a good time to use the Immortal Palace Phantom.
"My Immortal Palace illusion can draw a person's consciousness into the most beautiful fantasy he wants to see."
Zhao Huangchao looked satisfied and happy. Nangong Pushe couldn't help but curl his lips, "The prince's method is indeed brilliant, but it's too easy for him."
The most powerful thing about this move is that it makes the enemy fall into deep fantasy and be completely isolated from the outside world. Zhao Huangchao even forgot that he was on the edge of a cliff, facing a mortal enemy like Li Changan.
"Then kill him."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Pushe drew out his Xiudong Sword, walked lightly on the sea of clouds, and in three or two steps he was in front of Zhao Huangchao. The sword flashed like lightning and easily cut off the head of the land immortal.
As Zhao Huangchao's head and body fell into the abyss, his soul left his body at the moment of death. It was at this moment that Zhao Huangchao understood the situation.
Master Zhao, who was best at killing people in dreams throughout his life, was killed by a similar method.
By the time he saw Li Changan's figure clearly, he had already been hit by the divine calamity. His soul was shattered in an instant and he was completely scared away.
Without the Golden Lotus of Fortune, the Black Dragon of the Earth Veins, the Land Immortals, and the Second-Rank Junior Grandmaster, it was only a matter of time before Longhu Mountain was replaced by other sects in the martial arts world. The hundreds and thousands of small-time Taoist priests were not worth Li Changan's effort.
Li Changan eliminated Longhu Mountain because there were too many people with the surname Zhao in the upper echelons, and the Shenzhou Taoist Court was involved in the world's disputes. It was not because he had any prejudice against Taoism itself.
If Longhu Mountain no longer submits to Li Yang, but instead devotes itself to practicing Taoism and martial arts, it is not impossible to provide support.
"Your Highness, where are we going now? Back to Liangzhou?"
"No, go to Jizhou."
Jizhou is the current base camp of King Xu Fengnian of Liang. After leaving Lingzhou, the King of Northern Liang changed his title to King of Liang.
One day later, late at night.
Li Changan appeared quietly in the Prince of Liang's mansion in Jizhou. It's not that the masters of Jizhou failed to notice him, but by the time they discovered him, Li Changan had already entered the mansion.
As soon as he entered the palace, more than a dozen first-class grandmasters surrounded him. Xu Xiao had left few assassins for Xu Fengnian, so Xu Fengnian recruited some more.
"Xu Fengnian, if you don't come out, all the masters under your command will die."
Li Changan's voice spread throughout Jizhou City, but there was no response from Xu Fengnian.
His plan was not complicated. Even if Xu Fengnian could now summon his Dharma body from his previous life, he was unable to break the Zhenwu Demon Subduing Formation, which meant that his strength was not as good as Li Changan's.
Li Changan's goal is to defeat Xu Fengnian and Chen Diao Si of Li Yang Dynasty one by one before they officially join forces.
Because his strength increased greatly after he destroyed Longhu Mountain, Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi would inevitably unite, and the combined strength of these two people is not weak.
The news reached the military camp outside the city, and Yuan Zuozong immediately put on his armor and left the camp, "Enemy attack! Quickly reorganize the troops and enter the city to defend the palace."
In Yuan Zuozong's opinion, no matter how powerful a master is, he cannot stop thousands of troops. As long as the army arrives, Li Changan will definitely retreat.
In the palace, the dozen or so first-rank grandmasters around Li Changan were very nervous.
They knew that this Tang King Li Changan had killed countless immortals, who were immortals at the level of earthly gods. What were they, the grand masters?
Without hearing Xu Fengnian's reply, Li Changan smiled slightly. This kid was not here.
If Xu Fengnian was there, he would definitely come out. Without Xu Fengnian in the Liang Palace, Li Changan could have whatever he wanted.
He clenched one hand into a fist, lowered his shoulders slightly, and swung a punch into the air seemingly casually, but lightning flashed in the sky in an instant!
The Prince Liang's Palace, which had just been silent under the night sky, was now filled with blue thunder, and each bolt of thunder hit someone in the palace.
No matter if they were first-class masters, ordinary guards, or servants, they were all turned into blood mist under Emperor Tian's mad thunder.
In just a moment, besides Li Changan, there was only one living person left in the entire palace.
The woman in red clenched her teeth as she stood on the roof of the palace lobby, looking strange and sad in the moonlight.
Luoyang is very beautiful. Even the people living here eight hundred years ago are still worthy of the description "graceful and graceful".
Looking at the empty palace, Luoyang felt desperate, and Xu Fengnian went to Tai'an City.
After Xu Fengnian set his sights on the luck of Mount Longhu, he used the techniques of a Qi Refiner to mark the Golden Lotus of Luck. After the Golden Lotus of Luck was destroyed, he immediately went to Tai'an City.
The only person in the world who can destroy the Longhu Mountain True Dragon Demon Subduing Formation is Li Changan.
Therefore, Xu Fengnian must join forces with the Tianren Supervisor of the Liyang Dynasty to have a chance to fight against Li Changan.
Without Xu Fengnian, there was no opponent for Li Changan in the entire Jizhou city.
Luoyang only showed one side, then immediately turned and flew north.
If you can’t beat them, you can only run away.
However, just as she started, she felt a shaking sword energy coming towards her.
"Crack..."
Luoyang flipped in the air, and sword energy dropped from the sky, splitting the lobby of Prince Liang's Mansion in two from the roof!
What a strong sword energy!
"Seventeen stops."
The person who spoke was a beautiful woman dressed in white with a graceful figure. Her stunning face under the bamboo hat made Luoyang feel a little ashamed.
There is such an extremely beautiful woman in the world.
Two beautiful figures, one in white and one in red, confronted each other on the roof of the palace. Although Luoyang dodged the attack, he was still frightened.
"Little girl, you have such great skills..."
Before he finished his words and his awkward smile had yet to fully bloom, another blade of energy slashed towards Luoyang's slender waist.
Luoyang pushed out both palms at the same time, and the powerful energy collided with the sword energy.
"boom!"
The seemingly invisible sword energy and strong energy exploded violently above the palace!
At this moment, all the houses in the palace had their beams shaking, pillars collapsing, and all the pavilions and towers collapsing!
The two of them, with their clothes fluttering in the wind, dance like fairies under the moonlight. Although it is pleasing to the eye, the surging strong energy can take someone's life at any time.
Nangong Pushe's pretty face was frost, and his voice was cold and solemn, "Shibating, I didn't kill you."
The inner Qi in Luoyang's body kept trembling. With the help of the Qin Emperor's luck that Xu Fengnian transferred into her body, she was able to stabilize the inner Qi.
If Xu Fengnian had not awakened Zhenwu and Qin Wang's Dharma body, and re-entered the realm of immortality, thus replenishing her luck and skills, the Eighteen Stops would have taken her life.
"White Fox Face, eighteen stops should be your limit."
Both of them are from Beimang and they know each other's strength. However, not long ago, there was still a big gap between Nangong Pushe and the number one demon in Beimang.
As soon as Luoyang finished speaking, he saw Nangong Pushe jump up again. The moment her graceful figure passed under the bright moon, it seemed as if she had absorbed the moonlight from the moon. The internal energy of her body surged, as if it was endless.
The next moment, Xiu Dong and Chun Lei stopped under the bright moon, one in front and one behind the figure in white.
The boundless sword energy seemed to shoot out from the bright moon, hidden in the cold moonlight, completely enveloping Luoyang.
"Pfft... pfft..."
There was the sound of countless fine sword qi entering the body, and Luoyang's whole body was pierced by the sword qi. Although his body looked intact, he fell backwards weakly, without a trace of life.
Nangong Pushe sheathed his two swords and straightened his messy collar, "Nineteen stops, done."
She now deeply doubted what Li Changan had said before, whether it was true that it would take 10 to 20 years to break through the 19th level.
Now her Nineteenth Stop was successful. While killing Luoyang, she also absorbed a lot of Luoyang's luck and fed it back to herself, so this move would not hurt herself.
The old site of the royal palace that was razed to the ground is now a flat road with ruins of collapsed houses everywhere.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Beiliang entered the old palace from all directions and surrounded Li Changan. Tens of thousands of people were wearing bright armor and their swords were wielding brightly under the moonlight.
"Whoever offends Beiliang will be killed!"
The mighty and majestic shouts made the ground buzz. The Beiliang soldiers marched in neat steps, gradually approaching the center of the encirclement under the moonlight.
Li Changan stood in the center of the battlefield, neither dodging nor evading, as if he was waiting for the soldiers to surround him.
"Fire arrows!"
At Yuan Zuozong's command, the rear team of the encirclement began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and a dense rain of arrows fell towards Li Changan's head.
The sharp arrows collided with each other in the air, but the vast majority of them flew towards Li Changan's head under the moonlight like a black waterfall.
But the next moment, a golden light flashed, and thousands of arrows were instantly ignited by the earth fire. Under the burning of the fierce fire, even the arrowheads were melted.
The rain of arrows was broken, but Li Changan was safe and sound. He still looked around with no fear at all.
"Brothers, no matter how powerful Li Changan is, he can't defeat our army of thousands!"
When the arrows ran out and the army fell into silence, Yuan Zuozong began to speak to the Beiliang soldiers, trying to restore their fighting spirit and confidence. "Since ancient times, there has never been a master who can defeat ten thousand with one man!"
"The bandit chieftain, Li Changan, will die by Beiliang's sword today!"
If Li Changan hadn't been there, Li Chungang would have given his all and killed 2,600 armored soldiers alone, and he would have been the top fighter in this world.
Before this, during the Spring and Autumn War, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu killed eight hundred Iron Pagodas alone, which was already the limit for a first-class master.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the shining Liang sword was less than ten feet away from Li Changan. He could even see the nervous and eager faces of the Northern Liang soldiers in the front row.
"It just so happens that I also want to test my limits."
"If I let the killing go, how much armor can I break?"
Li Changan lightly pinched his sword finger, and thousands of sword auras suddenly condensed in the air. These sword auras circled around Li Changan, and then quickly dispersed towards the surrounding Beiliang soldiers.
The screams that followed resounded through the night sky. The shrill cries were accompanied by the sword energy entering the body, and the strong Beiliang soldiers were turned into a pile of broken limbs.
Blood splattered in the air and flowed on the ground. In just a blink of an eye, the area several feet around Li Changan was turned into a river of blood, and there was not a single intact corpse.
Wherever Li Changan's sword energy passed, it could cut through gold and jade. Each sword energy would only dissipate after killing dozens of people.
This move killed at least five thousand Beiliang soldiers!
The Beiliang soldiers in the back row, their boots treading in the sticky scarlet blood, approached Li Changan again.
This group of soldiers seemed to be as terrified as usual. Perhaps Li Changan could not defeat thousands of troops, but there would always be some cannon fodder who had to die first. Those standing in the front were the cannon fodder who were bound to die.
Their hands holding the cold knives began to tremble, their backs began to feel cold, and their faces were covered with sweat.
The next moment, the blood on the ground slowly rose into the air!
There were as many as four or five thousand Beiliang soldiers whose feet were stained with blood. They were horrified to find that they were gradually surrounded by blood.
The blood flowing on the ground seemed to be flowing back from the bottom to the top, soaking all the Beiliang soldiers in the blood.
Thousands of people were gradually surrounded by blood, and the warm blood had already flooded their chests.
"Evil method!"
"The Tang King knows evil magic!"
"Help! My blood is flowing out!"
As shouts of surprise were heard, the soldiers discovered the fact that the blood in their bodies was warm!
This blood not only includes the blood of the dead, but also his own blood!
Li Changan stood calmly in the middle of the blood clot, with a layer of energy separating the blood from himself.
The four calamities of the Holy Heart are the shocking calamity, the heavenly heart calamity, the killing of the gods, and the evil blood calamity!
What these Beiliang soldiers said was correct, this move was the calamity for mortals, and it was not wrong to say it was an evil method, it was the evil blood calamity!
Blood draws blood, and the enemy bleeds to death!
Soon, many soldiers fainted due to lack of blood, their hands and feet became weak and drowned in blood.
Some Beiliang soldiers who wanted to escape were caught in the overcrowding and were enveloped by the surging blood and their blood was drained bit by bit no matter how hard they struggled.
Under the moonlight, in a pool of thick blood, one by one the Beiliang soldiers lost their lives and were swallowed by the blood.
This pool of blood, which was dozens of feet square, was still expanding, pulling the surrounding soldiers into it one by one.
Yuan Zuozong rode his horse to a stop on the outskirts, looking at this horrific scene that was like hell on earth, and was extremely horrified!
If we allow this blood to spread, any number of soldiers, let alone ten thousand, will be swallowed up.
Li Changan is simply a god of killing. When he starts killing, there will be no end!
"Run!"
"If you get any blood on you, you're dead!"
"Help!"
The army of tens of thousands of people began to disintegrate, from the outside to the inside, and all the soldiers rushed to flee.
Yuan Zuozong was no longer able to control his soldiers because the scene before them was too bizarre and terrifying, and there were not enough people for Li Changan to kill.
Just as he was terrified, a light blade slid down from above his head. He hardly felt the pain and found that his left eye was looking into his right eye.
The entire body was cut into two halves and laid neatly on the ground. After slightly squirming and struggling for a few times, there was no more life.
Nangong Pushe wandered around the periphery and killed all the generals with one sword. Yuan Zuozong, who was in the Tianxiang realm, was as easy to kill as a chicken compared to Luoyang.
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Liang's Mansion returned to peace amid the scarlet blood. The blood flowed all over the mansion, and corpses that had been drained of blood were scattered all over the floor.
Without a drop of blood on his body, Li Chang'an stood up from the ground and came to the top of Jizhou City not far away.
He only killed more than 10,000 people, and most of the Beiliang soldiers fled.
"Nangong, I am not a bloodthirsty person after all."
Nangong Pushe, who was standing behind him, looked at the scarlet Liang Palace in the distance and the corpses on the ground, and nodded affirmatively.
"Your Highness, be merciful."
The news of the destruction of Longhu Mountain soon spread to Tai'an City.
Crown Prince Zhao Zhu reported the news to Emperor Zhao Bing, "Father, Longhu Mountain is gone."
After reading the intelligence, Zhao Bing felt disappointed. Longhu Mountain was gone, all the old immortals from the family were killed by Li Changan, and the nine golden lotuses that were part of the destiny of the Liyang Dynasty were completely destroyed.
He also couldn't have imagined that the Longhu Mountain's True Dragon Demon Subduing Formation could block Xu Fengnian's Zhenwu Dharma Image, but could not block Li Changan.
In the previous negotiations with Xu Fengnian, the Liyang Dynasty had been pretending to be compliant. It was only when they knew that Xu Fengnian's sneak attack on Longhu Mountain had failed that the Liyang Dynasty took the initiative.
But now it’s different. The proud Longhu Mountain has been completely destroyed, and the remaining foundation of the Liyang court is no different from that of Zhenwu and Xu Fengnian, the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang.
"Give all of Yanzhou, Xiongzhou, and Jinzhou to Xu Fengnian. Keep him stable first. Now the right thing to do is to join forces to deal with Li Changan."
Before Zhao Zhu could say anything, he was stunned by a voice in the air, "It's already this hour, why are you still worrying about this? Come to the Imperial Observatory as soon as possible."
The voice sounded very young, with a hint of sarcasm. Zhao Bing had heard this voice before. When he succeeded in seizing the throne, he went to see the great eunuch named Chen.
Chen Diaosi is a great eunuch who is the same age as Li Yangchao and has the same destiny as him. He is a great immortal master who has a young appearance but unfathomable cultivation.
Zhao Bing and his son hurried to the basement of the Imperial Observatory. In that dark stone chamber, besides Chen Diaosi, there was another young man.
The man was dressed in white, and the scarlet mark on his forehead was very conspicuous. Although Zhao Bing had never seen him before, he could guess that this person was Xu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang.
"Xu Fengnian, you actually dare to come to Tai'an City."
Xu Fengnian sat upright on a stone chair, opposite Chen Diaosi. When he heard the emperor speaking, he remained silent and did not even raise his eyelids.
"Zhao Bing, do you think you have a say here?"
Zhao Bing was speechless for a moment. Although he was the emperor, the two people in front of him were both top masters of the time. Xu Fengnian was able to summon the Zhenwu Dharma Image, and it was said that he was also in the realm of immortality.
With two great celestial beings here, he, a mortal emperor, is like a grasshopper who can be crushed to death with one hand at any time.
The father and son quickly figured out the current situation. Li Changan had destroyed Longhu Mountain, so his only opponents were the two in front of him, but neither of them was sure they could defeat Li Changan.
Therefore, cooperation between the two is the only way to survive at present.
Chen Diao Si was protecting the ancestral temple of Li Yang, so it made no difference to him whoever was the emperor from the Zhao family. In other words, if he wanted to depose or enthrone an emperor, it would only take a word for him.
If Xu Fengnian wanted to cooperate with Liyang Chen Diaosi on the condition of changing the emperor, Chen Diaosi would agree without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bing, who was wearing a dragon robe and looked very majestic, couldn't help but sweat profusely and dared not say another word.
Xu Fengnian turned to Chen Diaosi and said, "Chen Diaosi, Longhu Mountain is gone. If we don't cooperate now, we will be defeated by Li Changan one by one."
On the surface, Chen Diaosi is even younger than Xu Fengnian, and his tone is very calm, "With your Zhenwu and Qinhuang Dharmakaya strength, you are no match for Li Changan?"
Xu Fengnian had been defeated by Li Changan too many times, and he had a trauma in his heart. He really didn't dare to fight with Li Changan rashly.
What's more, the True Dragon Subduing Demon Formation, which he himself failed to break, was also broken by Li Changan. Even the luck of Longhu Mountain was completely absorbed by Li Changan. Li Changan's strength is now much stronger than when he broke the formation.
"Chen Diaosi, you don't need to test me anymore. I am doing this to be absolutely sure. If anything goes wrong with me, do you have the ability to fight against Li Changan alone?"
"Together we both gain, while apart we both lose, the current situation could not be clearer.
If we can destroy Li Changan and divide up his territory, Daliang and Liyang can divide the world equally, or we can reorganize our troops and fight again. Your luck is indispensable."
Everyone is smart. The current situation is indeed very clear, and there is no need to bargain anymore. If they continue to play along, by the time the two sides have reached an agreement, Li Changan will have already sent troops.
Although Chen Diaosi was not in the court, he had been paying attention to the situation in the court as Liyang was in danger. He knew very well that there was still room for respite as Li Changan's affairs in Beimang had not yet been concluded.
"According to King Liang's opinion, what should we do now?"
Xu Fengnian said bluntly, "There is no better way. You and I will join forces and secretly march into Liangzhou to fight a decisive battle with Li Changan."
"With the fighting power of the two of us, no matter how many masters Li Changan has, they can't stop us. He must take action."
As the situation has developed to this point, three great immortals have emerged whose strength far exceeds that of everyone else.
Li Changan and Xu Fengnian broke Huang Longshi's original layout and absorbed too much luck, resulting in the situation where a large number of land immortals did not appear in the world, but instead gathered on these two people.
Of course, Li Changan absorbed most of it.
Therefore, the battle of thousands of troops cannot determine the situation in the world. Only when these three people decide the outcome of life and death, can the world be stable.
Just as Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi were discussing, a panic-stricken knight arrived outside the Tai'an city gate.
"Urgent news from Jizhou!"
"Seeking an audience with King Liang!"
