Standing not far from the Zhenwu Temple on Wudang Mountain, Li Chang'an and Nangong Pushe witnessed the collapse of the Zhenwu Hall, the destruction of the statue of the Zhenwu Emperor, and the erasure of all inscriptions related to Zhenwu on the mountain.
There is no trace of Zhenwu the Great left on the entire Wudang Mountain.
"Your Highness, Wang Chonglou has committed suicide."
On the cliff edge of the back mountain, Hong Xixiang stepped into the place of the Great Celestial Phenomenon, where Wang Chonglou sat cross-legged and rode a crane westward.
He supported Beiliang and even taught Xu Fengnian the Great Yellow Court martial arts. Even if he died, Wudang Mountain could not shake off the suspicion of supporting Beiliang.
However, his suicide represented a complete surrender and a plea for mercy. Whether Li Chang'an would let the Wudang Mountain lineage go or not depended entirely on Li Chang'an's attitude towards Wudang Mountain.
Li Chang'an was not a bloodthirsty person; he killed only to intimidate and eliminate current and potential threats.
The Heavenly Gate has been completely closed, and there will never be any more immortal beings on land in the martial world. Cultivation above the Finger Profound Realm will be extremely difficult.
Wudang Mountain poses no threat to Li Chang'an now, and the disciples of Wudang Mountain would not be so bored as to seek revenge against Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an has the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Zhenwu Division, which can monitor the martial arts world. No action on Wudang Mountain can escape his surveillance.
There is no point in slaughtering these defenseless Wudang Mountain Taoists now.
On the border between Lingzhou and Yongzhou, Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi were heading towards Wudang Mountain. If they couldn't protect the Zhenwu lineage of Wudang Mountain, Xu Fengnian's Zhenwu Dharma Body strength would be diminished.
Suddenly, Xu Fengnian stopped in mid-air, landing on a mountaintop.
Chen Diaosi also stopped immediately. "Is it too late?"
He had just finished speaking when he sensed a powerful aura not far ahead, and only then did he realize why Xu Fengnian had stopped.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chang'an appeared lightly on auspicious clouds, right in front of the two of them.
"Both of you have come, that's wonderful, it saves me the trouble of searching for you one by one."
Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi exchanged a glance, but neither of them said much. At this point, there was no need for further communication; they simply used their strongest techniques.
Li Chang'an felt a powerful aura rushing towards him, an aura that came from destiny and was much stronger than that of Xie Guanying and Tantai Pingjing.
His luck was certainly much stronger than Xu Fengnian's, but he did not release the martial arts of the Dharma Form. The All-Heavens Mall should have it, but Li Chang'an felt it was unnecessary.
Because he was confident in his own strength, he believed that even with his current martial arts skills, he could easily defeat Xu Fengnian, whose luck and power were far superior.
Behind Xu Fengnian, a nearly ten-zhang-tall True Martial Emperor Dharma Image suddenly appeared. The Dharma Image was covered in scale armor, with a spirit tortoise as a shield and a black snake as a sword. Its long beard flowed, making it look very majestic.
The golden statue, ten feet tall, stands atop the mountain, its every move a manifestation of ever-changing weather.
Chen Diao Temple also released his life's fortune, which transformed into a golden dragon of fortune. This golden dragon was the entire fortune of the Li Yang Dynasty.
Now, ordinary martial arts are useless against Li Chang'an. Only the strongest Qi Transformation technique can put up a fight against Li Chang'an.
The golden dragon roared out, circled the True Martial Dharma Image several times, and then wrapped itself around the True Martial Dharma Image's left arm, clearly intending to advance and retreat together with the True Martial Dharma Image.
"Everbright is useless."
A smile played on Li Chang'an's lips. He had slain the enormous black dragon with a single sword strike; this dharma form was merely a condensation of his fortune.
Seeing Li Chang'an standing still, Xu Fengnian immediately felt confident. This arrogant Tang King knew nothing about the power of the Golden Body Dharma Image!
This golden body, formed from the condensation of destiny, moves with overwhelming force; a single sword strike would slay all living beings in the vicinity.
It doesn't mean that if you dodge this sword and aren't hit by the magic sword, you'll be safe and sound.
Judging from Li Chang'an's appearance, he was clearly very confident in his Ruyi Ascension Steps and believed he could evade the Dharma Form's attack.
"Li Chang'an, Li Chang'an, you will pay the price for your ignorance."
Xu Fengnian sneered inwardly. The Dharma Image behind him quickly stepped forward, raising its several-foot-long sword high. In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds trembled, and thunder roared.
Once this sword strikes down, there will be no living thing left in front of the golden body of the Dharma image!
Li Chang'an still didn't move.
"cut!"
Xu Fengnian suddenly roared, and the huge Dharma Image brought down the long sword, and a swift hurricane swept past!
Several black lines suddenly appeared in the sky; those were traces of space breaking apart!
Upon seeing these black lines, Chen Diaosi's expression changed drastically!
The legendary ability to distort and shatter space is something that ordinary celestial beings with great longevity cannot achieve, and there is currently no record of Li Chang'an possessing such an ability.
What lies at the end of the Great Dao, no one knows. But everyone knows that the ability to distort time and space is an essential path to understanding the Great Dao!
Chen Diaosi was both delighted and terrified. If Xu Fengnian could kill Li Chang'an, then killing him would be a piece of cake.
Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, the fate of the Liyang Dynasty has come to an end.
A chasm was cleaved open on the hundred-zhang-high mountain peak, all the trees and forests were uprooted, and the mountain peak where Li Chang'an had just stood was leveled, leaving only broken rocks and wood fragments.
Several jagged black cracks appeared in the air, their destinations unknown. Any boulders and trees that passed through them were cleanly cleaved in two.
There were no signs of cutting where it broke; the other half simply disappeared neatly, as if it had always been that way.
The power to shatter space is terrifying!
A golden dragon of fortune flew out from the Dharma Image's arm, whistling and circling around where Li Chang'an stood for several weeks before disappearing from sight.
Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi suppressed their joy; if it were an ordinary enemy, they would already be celebrating their victory.
With a single strike from the golden body, no one could withstand it; even space itself was shattered and distorted, and a person's physical body would likely have been reduced to dust long ago.
If it were any other opponent, Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi would definitely celebrate their victory, but their opponent was Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an is someone who has repeatedly surpassed the world's understanding of martial arts. He is a terrestrial immortal who has transcended the three realms of merging into one, and a celestial immortal who has broken through the three religions by merging into one. He slaughters immortals as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs, and kills mortals as easily as stepping on ants.
Emperor Li Chang'an of Tang was a being more terrifying than a god, and could not be fathomed by ordinary reason.
The golden dragon of fortune circled several times, and Xu Fengnian and Chen Diaosi carefully sensed their surroundings. There was no trace of aura, no figure; Li Chang'an had simply vanished.
"Done?"
Chen Diaosi nervously looked around. His expression was completely unlike that of a near-god in the Liyang Dynasty; he looked like a young man going to the battlefield for the first time.
I was both excited and reserved, both eager and apprehensive.
"Li Chang'an...is dead?"
Xu Fengnian was also nervously sensing his surroundings, but gradually his expression relaxed.
The strength he had always kept hidden, the power to shatter the void, was the strongest move he comprehended after breaking the formation at Longhu Mountain.
Despite all his calculations, Xu Fengnian still felt that Li Chang'an would be unable to withstand this move.
This is also the source of his confidence to come to Li Chang'an with Chen Diaosi. Bringing Chen Diaosi along was entirely for the sake of absolute certainty, making use of all available resources.
"He should... be dead."
After confirming it several times, Xu Fengnian swallowed hard.
He didn't even dare to smile, his face remained stern. He had been smug in front of Li Chang'an more than once, but each time he had been utterly defeated.
After a while, the storm subsided.
"Ha, ha, ha ha ha..."
Xu Fengnian leaped up and stood on the shoulder of the golden statue, letting out a hearty laugh.
The laughter grew louder and more unrestrained, as if venting years of pent-up resentment.
"Li Chang'an is dead! You are no match for me! Hahaha..."
Xu Fengnian has already ignored the existence of Chen Diaosi and has begun to refer to himself as "I, the Emperor".
The frenzied, hysterical laughter echoed in the air, lingering long after it reached the mountains and valleys of Lingzhou.
But the laughter suddenly stopped!
Not far in front of Xu Fengnian, countless black dots were gathering. In the blink of an eye, the black dots slowly converged and formed a human figure!
In the blink of an eye, countless dense black dots formed a human face!
Then, a tremendous aura was suddenly released, and Li Chang'an's tall figure was reassembled by countless particles.
"It's time to wake up from the dream."
As Li Chang'an finished speaking, the Lu Zu Sword in his hand descended from the sky, and a blood-red sword beam tens of feet long slashed at the shoulder of the True Martial Dharma Image!
"laugh!"
A loud whooshing sound shattered the silence. After the True Martial Dharma Image was struck by the sword light, its fortune surged like a flood, drawing into Li Chang's dantian.
The True Martial Dharma Body, accompanied by a pitiful howl, was shattered and absorbed by Li Chang'an.
Xu Fengnian was trembling all over, a long-lost yet familiar fear spreading through his body.
Chapter 258 Xu Fengnian Dies! A New World Begins, the Great Feng Dynasty's Night Watchman Arrives!
The Seven Deadly Realms is a unique skill that can only be used after the Sacred Heart Technique has been perfected.
When one cultivates their spiritual sense to a certain level, their body can transform into particles. These particles can recombine anywhere, thus allowing them to evade most martial arts attacks.
If Li Chang'an were to directly withstand Xu Fengnian's True Martial Dharma Form attack, it would consume a great deal of his luck, making it a losing proposition. It would be much easier for him to dodge it using the Seven Noble Realms.
Xu Fengnian's body was trembling uncontrollably. The True Martial Dharma Image had been completely absorbed by Li Chang'an, and he no longer had any resources left to harm Li Chang'an.
This was the third time; he was utterly powerless against Li Chang'an.
