Chapter 257 Shattering the Void! Seven Desperate Situations! Destroying and Killing the True Martial Dharma Image!
Li Changan destroyed Longhu Mountain and then massacred the Prince of Liang's Mansion. More than 10,000 Northern Liang soldiers in Jizhou died and tens of thousands were dispersed.
In Jizhou City now, only Xu Longxiang is left behind with more than 50,000 soldiers who have not figured out the situation. The Beiliang soldiers who have seen Li Changan take action have all fled.
They were so scared that night that they knew that if they continued to be enemies with Li Changan, they would only end up dead.
If the Liyang Dynasty had one arm cut off, then Xu Fengnian had his skin peeled off and his tendons pulled out. He no longer had any capital to negotiate with the Liyang court.
The messenger told Xu Fengnian about the situation in Jizhou in bits and pieces. After hearing this, the Emperor of Liyang Dynasty and Chen Diao Si showed no joy at all.
Because they all knew very well that the Liyang Dynasty and Xu Fengnian were now in a situation where they would suffer together if one suffered. If Li Changan could easily massacre the Beiliang soldiers, then it would be even easier to massacre the Liyang Dynasty army.
Chen Diao Si had no choice. Li Changan made it clear that he wanted to destroy the Liyang court. Once the Liyang court was destroyed, his life would be over.
In his opinion, he was somewhat unsure about Xu Fengnian's thoughts.
Since Xu Fengnian had no burden, he could just take his brother Xu Longxiang and run away. At worst, they could give up fighting for the world and flee to the corners of the Western Regions or the South China Sea, where no one would find them easily.
Now that Xu Fengnian has suffered a great loss, Chen Diaosi is worried that Xu Fengnian will not continue to resist Li Changan.
"Prince Liang, we can't wait any longer. I will go with you to find Li Changan and fight him to the death."
At this moment, Xu Fengnian had a blank expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He has recovered some memories of his previous life, but Xu Fengnian's memories are also there. He was captured by Li Changan twice in this life and suffered humiliation.
His two sisters were kidnapped, his father was killed, the palace was massacred twice, and the two women who were in love with him were all killed by Li Changan.
Now, except for his younger brother Xu Longxiang, all the old people in the Beiliang Palace and those close to him have died at the hands of Li Changan.
Of course he knew that if he ran away, it would be difficult for Li Changan to find him, no matter how big the world is.
But he has the memories of Emperor Zhenwu and Emperor Qin Shi Huang in his body, and he really doesn't want to hide and live.
"Chen Diaosi, if we join forces, how confident are we of defeating Li Changan?"
Chen Diao Si and the Li Yang court share the same fate. The Li Yang court has been torn apart, and his current state of immortality cannot be maintained for too long, so he is anxious.
"If we two join forces, it means that you are sincere in being the King of Liang of the Liyang Dynasty. Liyang's luck can be restored a little bit. Even if I leave Tai'an City, I can still maintain the realm of immortality."
"As for you, how strong is your Zhenwu Dharmakaya now?"
The so-called Zhenwu Emperor is a martial god. If he fears fighting and flees, his Dharma body will only become weaker and weaker.
In other words, if Xu Fengnian did not fight, he would have no choice but to find a place to hide and die of old age, and would never have a chance to turn things around.
Moreover, after breaking the formation at Longhu Mountain, his golden body learned new moves, which gave him more confidence in dealing with Li Changan.
"The power of the gods is enough to kill Li Changan!"
Chen Diaosi sneered in his heart. If Xu Fengnian really had the confidence to kill Li Changan alone, why would he come to him?
But now the situation is urgent, and Xu Fengnian has no intention of retreating, which is the best thing.
"Since the King of Liang is so ambitious, I will risk my life to accompany him."
Lingzhou, Wudang Mountain.
Wang Zhonglou, who had lost all his martial arts skills, sat in the Zhenwu Hall, his old face full of wrinkles and his expression extremely sad.
"Master, the Tang army has entered Lingzhou!"
Lingzhou is surrounded by Youzhou to the north, Liangzhou to the west, and Qingzhou to the south. All three sides belong to Li Changan. Lingzhou is like fat meat in the mouth of a tiger, waiting for Li Changan's army to open its mouth wide.
Huo Qubing was attacking Beidicheng, the capital of Beimang, while Zhuge Liang was still in Nanjing. The Mang army in the south of Beimang had been completely wiped out, so Li Cunxiao hurriedly marched south to Lingzhou.
There were not many defenders in Lingzhou to begin with, and with the help of Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen in persuading them to surrender, Li Cunxiao captured Lingzhou with basically no effort.
The original three states of Beiliang, Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Youzhou, were all taken by Li Changan.
"Yufu, smash the statue of Zhenwu, and then demolish the Zhenwu Hall. From now on, Wudang will no longer worship Zhenwu."
Li Yufu was shocked when he heard Wang Zhonglou's order. The Northern Zhenwu Emperor, who had been worshipped in Wudang Mountain for hundreds of years, was now going to do such a rebellious thing.
This means that Wudang Mountain has completely given up its faith. Then is there any meaning for Wudang Mountain to exist?
"Master, without the Great Emperor Zhenwu...what is there to worship at Wudang Mountain?"
Wang Zhonglou said, "From now on, Wudang will only worship Lü Zu."
He had heard that Li Changan had trampled through Mount Longhu, but did not touch the Taoist temples and the statues of the Heavenly Master in the mountain, so the Heavenly Master Dao in Mount Longhu was not destroyed.
Longhu Mountain has announced that it will only practice Taoism and not martial arts, and will no longer have any connection with the Liyang court.
In other words, as long as they stop participating in the struggle for power in the world and do not help Li Yang or Bei Liang, the Taoist tradition can be continued.
Xu Fengnian is the reincarnation of Zhenwu, and Wudang Mountain still has some Taoist luck. If they continue to worship Zhenwu Emperor, it means that Wudang Mountain is still supporting Xu Fengnian.
Words are not enough. Only by completely destroying the worship and sacrifices to Zhenwu Emperor can Wudang Mountain show its determination to no longer support Xu Fengnian.
Li Changan and Nangong Pushe, who were standing not far from the Zhenwu Temple on Mount Wudang, witnessed with their own eyes the collapse of the Zhenwu Hall, the destruction of the statue of Zhenwu Emperor, and the erasure of all words related to Zhenwu on the mountain.
There is no trace of the Great Emperor Zhenwu in the entire Wudang Mountain.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zhonglou has surrendered on his own."
On the edge of the cliff at the back mountain, Hong Xixiang stepped into the place where the great celestial phenomenon was, and Wang Zhonglou was sitting cross-legged, riding a crane to the west.
He had supported Beiliang and passed on the Dahuangting martial arts to Xu Fengnian. Even if he died, Wudang Mountain could not get rid of the suspicion of supporting Beiliang.
But his suicide represented an attitude of complete surrender and begging for mercy. As for whether Li Changan was willing to let go of the Wudang Mountain lineage, it all depended on Li Changan's attitude towards Wudang Mountain.
Li Changan is not a bloodthirsty person. He always kills for the purpose of deterrence and to eliminate current and potential threats.
The Heavenly Gate has been completely closed, and there will no longer be any land immortals in the world. It will be difficult to practice above the Profound Realm.
The current Wudang Mountain poses no threat to Li Changan, and the disciples of Wudang Mountain will not be so bored as to seek revenge on Li Changan.
Li Changan has the Jinyiwei Zhenwu Division, which can monitor the martial arts world, and every move of Wudang Mountain will not escape his surveillance.
There is no point in slaughtering these defenseless Taoists from Mount Wudang now.
On the border of Lingzhou and Yongzhou, Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi were rushing to Wudang Mountain. If the Wudang Mountain Zhenwu Daoist tradition could not be preserved, Xu Fengnian's Zhenwu Dharmakaya strength would be damaged.
Suddenly, Xu Fengnian stopped in the air and landed on the top of a hill.
Chen Diaosi also stopped immediately, "Too late?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a powerful aura not far ahead, and then he understood why Xu Fengnian stopped.
In the blink of an eye, Li Changan stepped on the auspicious clouds and floated in front of the two people.
"It's great that you two are here. It saves me from having to look for you one by one." Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi looked at each other. Neither of them said much. There was no need to communicate at this time. They just used their strongest moves directly.
Li Changan felt a powerful aura coming towards him. This aura came from luck and was much stronger than that of Xie Guanying and Tan Tai Jingjing.
Of course, his luck is much stronger than Xu Fengnian's, but he does not have the martial arts to release the Dharma image. Zhutian Mall should have it, but Li Changan feels it is unnecessary.
Because he was confident in his own strength, he thought his current martial arts would be more than enough to deal with Xu Fengnian. After all, Xu Fengnian's luck and skills were much stronger.
Behind Xu Fengnian, a statue of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, nearly ten feet tall, suddenly appeared. He was wearing scales, using a spirit turtle as a shield, a black snake as a sword, and had a long fluttering beard, looking very majestic.
A ten-foot-tall golden statue stands on the top of the mountain, and every move it makes is like changing winds and clouds.
Chen Diao Si also released all his life's luck, which turned into a golden dragon of luck. This golden dragon was exactly all the luck of Li Yang Dynasty.
Now, to deal with Li Changan, ordinary martial arts are of no use at all. Only the strongest luck and form can compete with Li Changan.
The golden dragon roared out, circled around the Zhenwu Dharma Image several times, and then wrapped around the Zhenwu Dharma Image's left arm, obviously intending to advance and retreat with the Zhenwu Dharma Image.
"Guangda is useless."
A smile flashed across Li Changan's lips. He had killed the huge black dragon with just one sword. This Dharma image was just the condensation of his luck.
Seeing Li Changan standing still, Xu Fengnian suddenly gained confidence. This arrogant King Tang knew nothing about the power of the golden body!
This golden body of Dharma condensed with good fortune has the force of thunder in every move. With one strike of the sword, all living creatures in the nearby space will be killed.
It doesn't mean that you will be safe if you dodge the sword and are not hit by the magic sword.
Judging from Li Changan's appearance, he was obviously very confident in his Ruyi Ascension Steps and was able to avoid the attack of the Dharmakaya.
"Li Changan, ah Li Changan, you will pay the price for your ignorance."
Xu Fengnian sneered in his heart. The Dharma image behind him quickly stepped forward and raised the several-meter-long sword in his hand high up. In an instant, the wind and clouds moved, and thunder rolled.
As long as this sword is struck down, there will be no living creature in front of the golden body!
Li Changan still didn't move.
"cut!"
Xu Fengnian suddenly roared, and the huge Dharma image swung the sword in his hand and slashed down, and a fierce hurricane swept past!
Several black lines suddenly appeared in the air, they were traces of space being broken!
When Chen Diaosi saw these black lines, his face changed drastically!
The legendary ability to distort and shatter space is something that ordinary celestial beings cannot do, and so far no one has heard that Li Changan has such an ability.
No one knows what is at the end of the avenue. But everyone knows that being able to distort time and space is the only way to understand the avenue!
Chen Diaosi was both surprised and frightened. If Xu Fengnian could kill Li Changan, then killing him would be easy.
Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, the luck of the Li Yang Dynasty has come to an end.
A huge chasm was split open on the hundred-foot-high mountain, and all the trees in the forest were uprooted. The mountain where Li Changan had just stood had been razed to the ground, leaving only broken rocks and wood and stone debris.
There were several hideous black cracks in the sky, and no one knew where they led to. All the rocks and trees passing through them were cut in half.
There was no trace of cutting at the broken part, the other half disappeared completely, as if it was born that way.
The power of broken space is so terrifying!
A golden dragon of luck flew out from the Dharmakāya's arm, circling for several weeks where Li Changan was standing, and Li Changan's figure could no longer be seen.
Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi suppressed the joy in their hearts. If it was an ordinary enemy, they would have celebrated their victory by now.
No one could withstand the attack of the golden body. Even the space was shattered and distorted. The human body would have been turned into powder long ago.
If it were any other opponent, Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi would definitely celebrate their victory, but the opponent was Li Changan.
It is Li Changan who has surpassed the world's understanding of martial arts time and time again. He has achieved the status of an earthly immortal by integrating the three realms into one, and the status of a celestial being by integrating the three religions into one. He can slaughter immortals like slaughtering pigs and dogs, and kill mortals like stepping on ants.
The Tang King Li Changan is a being more terrifying than gods and cannot be judged by common sense.
The golden dragon of luck circled for several weeks. Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi also carefully sensed the surroundings. There was no trace of breath, no figure, and Li Changan just disappeared like that.
"Done?"
Chen Diaosi looked around nervously. This expression did not seem like a god-like being in the Liyang Dynasty at all. Instead, he looked like a young man going to the battlefield for the first time.
Both excited and reserved, both eager and nervous.
"Li Changan...is he dead?"
Xu Fengnian was also feeling his surroundings nervously, and gradually his expression relaxed.
The strength he has always retained, the power to shatter the void, is the strongest move he realized after breaking the formation at Longhu Mountain.
Xu Fengnian made all kinds of calculations, but he felt that Li Changan would not be able to withstand this move.
This was also the reason why he dared to come to Li Changan with Chen Diao Si. Bringing Chen Diao Si with him was just to be absolutely sure and make use of all the forces he could mobilize.
"He should be...dead."
After confirming it again and again, Xu Fengnian swallowed.
He didn't even dare to smile, his face remained stern. He had been proud in front of Li Changan more than once, but was defeated miserably every time.
After a while, the sea became calm.
“Ha, hahaha, hahahaha…”
Xu Fengnian jumped up, stood on the shoulder of the golden body, and laughed heartily.
The laughter grew louder and more unbridled, as if venting the dissatisfaction that had been accumulating in his heart for many years.
"Li Changan is dead! You are no match for me! Hahahaha..."
Xu Fengnian has ignored the existence of Chen Diaosi and began to call himself "Zhen".
The crazy and hysterical laughter echoed in the air, and could not stop for a long time among the thousands of mountains and valleys of Lingzhou.
But the laughter suddenly stopped!
Not far in front of Xu Fengnian, countless black spots were gathering. In the blink of an eye, the black spots slowly gathered together and formed a human figure!
In the blink of an eye, countless dense black dots formed a human face!
Then, a heaven-shaking aura was suddenly released, and Li Changan's tall figure was reunited by countless particles.
"It's time to wake up from the dream."
As Li Changan finished speaking, the Lu Zu sword in his hand fell from the sky, and a blood-red sword light dozens of feet long chopped off the shoulder of the Zhenwu Dharmakā!
"laugh!"
A loud sound of breaking through the air broke the silence. After the Zhenwu Dharma Image was hit by the sword, his luck was like a flood that was opened and sucked into Li Chang's sea of qi.
The golden body of Zhenwu Dharmakā, with a miserable howl, was chopped and absorbed by Li Changan.
Xu Fengnian's whole body was shaking, and the long-lost and familiar fear spread throughout his body.
