Luo Yang smiled mockingly, then closed his eyes to rest, keeping a close eye on the battle raging outside the Prince's Mansion.
She only cared about one thing: Xu Fengnian couldn't die.
She would not retaliate even if she was abused, but she must not be killed by anyone else. Xu Fengnian must awaken the memories of the Qin Emperor and then die by his own hand!
In the Northern Liang royal palace, three beautiful women descended from the sky, as if three emperors had come down to earth.
The woman in purple in the middle holds a guqin and seems to be casually plucking the strings, but wherever the music goes, blood flows like a river.
Xue Songguan, the former notorious villain of Northern Mang, has now infiltrated the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion as an agent of Li Chang'an and has begun a wanton massacre!
The woman in red had a seductive figure and a somewhat alluring appearance, but as she wielded her twin swords, she sang away one by one the expert assassins whose inner energy had been disrupted by the music.
The sweet potato, who cultivates both Xuan and Vajra, has now seen a terrifying increase in combat power, comparable to that of an ordinary martial artist.
The woman in green had a deep-seated hatred between her brows, and her long sword gleamed as she walked toward the Listening Tide Pavilion deep within the Prince's Palace.
Whenever he encountered a royal guard, Xu Weixiong, a peak-level Confucian scholar, would thrust his longsword forward, his powerful celestial energy instantly blasting the opponent's head into a bloody mist.
With each step closer to the Listening Tide Pavilion, the memories of the suicide warriors' training in the past became clearer, and their actions became even more ruthless.
As Xue Songguan's zither music subsided, hundreds of elite Imperial Guards climbed over the high walls surrounding the Prince's Mansion.
These Imperial Guards killed anyone they saw, and half of them quickly gathered around the Listening Tide Pavilion.
The newly arrived Qingniao stood at the entrance of Tingchao Pavilion and said to the Imperial Guards, "You don't need to kill the enemy anymore. Take all the secret manuals in Tingchao Pavilion with you, don't leave a single one behind."
The Imperial Guards, with embroidered spring knives at their waists, accepted the order in unison and entered the pavilion to begin moving the secret manuals from the Listening Tide Pavilion.
At this moment, Xu Weixiong's long sword was still dripping with scarlet blood, and several drops of glaring red blood were splattered on her fair face.
She left behind bloody footprints wherever she went, until the footprints reached Li Yishan's table.
The long sword thrust out and pressed against Li Yishan's throat.
"Li Yishan, you murderous and heartless demon, you probably never imagined this day would come!"
Li Yishan's face was ashen, as if the sword at his throat was not a sharp blade. "I really didn't expect this."
"If Li Chang'an didn't exist, how could things be like this today?"
"I have exhausted all my efforts to scheme against the world, but I could not have foreseen Li Chang'an's rise to power."
Xu Weixiong's longsword moved forward slightly by half an inch, and Li Yishan's neck was slashed open, with streams of blood flowing from the cut.
Li Yishan opened his eyes, seemingly oblivious to the pain. He struggled to turn towards Xu Weixiong, and with each turn, the long sword on his neck slashed deeper into his throat.
"Why...why did Li Chang'an rise to power so quickly..."
"Even a genius like the prince couldn't train a battle-hardened soldier so quickly."
Xu Weixiong flicked his wrist, and the longsword gently sliced into the wound, spurting out several feet of fresh blood from the artery, splashing the warm blood all over the roof of the pavilion.
Li Yishan's pupils dilated as Xu Weixiong held his head in his hand.
"Your Highness is a celestial being descended to earth; how could you, a mere mortal, possibly understand such a thing?"
In Xu Zhihu's room, she had just used her internal energy to resist Xue Songguan's demonic voice when she heard the sounds of fighting and screams outside.
Not long after, the door to the room was kicked open, and a woman in green carrying a severed head stepped into the room.
Xu Zhihu was not surprised. The person who came was none other than the "Second Princess of Beiliang" who had always been at odds with her, and the head belonged to Yin Cai Li Yishan.
The longsword was thrust out and gently placed on Xu Zhihu's neck.
Xu Zhihu looked down and saw Li Yishan's head with his eyes open. She knew very well that if Xu Weixiong moved his wrist even slightly, her head would also be in Xu Weixiong's hands.
"Xu Zhihu, become His Highness Prince Tang's concubine, or... die!"
Chapter 236 Possessing Three Realms, He Crushes Chen Zhibao!
Outside the gates of the Northern Liang Prince's Palace, on the frozen surface of Tingchao Lake, a fierce battle raged.
Chen Zhibao and Deng Tai'a fought together against Li Chang'an, and only then did they realize how terrifying Li Chang'an was.
Ordinary masters can become famous by mastering one martial art to its highest level; they have neither the energy nor the means to master multiple advanced martial arts.
Li Chang'an was an exception. The Six Gods Technique, the Great River Sword Intent, and the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi were all top-notch martial arts, and Li Chang'an was exceptionally skilled in these martial arts.
With the completion of the Great Celestial Phenomenon Realm, the power of the Six Gods Technique and the Great River Sword Intent also increased significantly.
The Great Vajra Warrior is unharmed by anyone below the Earth Immortal level; the Great Finger Profound Warrior is invincible below the Earth Immortal level; and the Great Celestial Warrior can slay a Land Immortal!
Chen Zhibao had only recently entered the Earth Immortal realm, and Deng Tai'a was only a half-step Earth Immortal, so Li Chang'an didn't face much pressure fighting against the two of them.
From the moment he chose to cultivate the Six Gods Technique, Li Chang'an embarked on the path of simultaneous cultivation of the three realms, and now he has achieved great success, only one step away from becoming a terrestrial immortal.
Deng Tai'a and Chen Zhibao had abandoned their desire for a quick victory, and their expressions grew increasingly solemn. It seemed that killing Li Chang'an would be very difficult.
Xu Fengnian hid behind the crowd, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably. His fear of Li Chang'an had become a conditioned reflex; whenever Li Chang'an made a move, he would involuntarily feel fear.
He nervously swallowed, secretly relieved, "As expected, Li Chang'an is still not easy to deal with."
"If we cannot restore the cultivation level of Luo Yang's previous life, how can we contend with such a terrifying opponent?"
As Xu Fengnian's mind raced, Deng Tai'a's twelve flying swords flew out again, but this time they were arranged in a straight line, flying freely like a single sword.
Li Chang'an formed a sword finger with his hand, and the sword intent of the Great River instantly gathered around him. In a flash, the sword intent shot out, and its powerful momentum was like a great river flowing continuously.
At that moment, the swords in the hands of the hundreds of people present began to go out of control, struggling and converging towards Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an's Great River Sword Intent is both as vast as the sea and as gentle as a rain. In an instant, the Great River Sword Intent has already covered the lake surface.
As if summoned, swords of all sizes shot into the sky with a whooshing sound, the sound of them cutting through the air like the shrieking of a multitude of swords!
Li Chungang's gray eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the chicken leg in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor, a sour feeling welling up in his heart.
Sword God! Who really is the Sword God?!
At his peak, he could summon flying swords with a single command, creating a vast and spectacular sight.
However, Li Chang'an did not specialize in swordsmanship, yet he achieved this before even reaching the level of a terrestrial immortal, which is quite unbelievable.
"A monster! Those Taoist priests weren't wrong, this guy is a monster!"
Amidst the rain of swords carried by the river of sword intent, a sudden burst of intense lightning flashed, causing Deng Tai'a's flying sword to lose control and fall to the ground.
The Great River Sword Intent and Thunder God's Swiftness were activated simultaneously, combining with the power of the Mysterious Celestial Phenomenon, making it difficult for the flying sword to withstand.
Deng Tai'a retrieved the flying sword that had fallen to the ground back to his eyes, and was then forced to remain motionless by the hundreds of long swords in front of him.
Deng Tai'a frowned and sighed, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable. No wonder even Li Jianshen couldn't defeat you."
Li Chang'an practiced multiple martial arts at the same time, with swordsmanship being just one of them. Even so, it still suppressed Deng Tai'a's lifelong dedication to swordsmanship.
The martial arts masters who were fighting fiercely on the ice were also stunned by this scene. Tang King Li Chang'an was fighting two against one and was not at a disadvantage at all!
Deng Tai'a picked up the peach blossom branch in his hand and seemingly casually waved it. In an instant, sword energy filled the sky, actually forcing the rain of swords drawn by Li Chang'an back several feet!
"Peach Blossom Sword Intent, please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Deng Tai'a let out a low growl, and a powerful sword intent surged from the peach blossom branch, withstanding the attack of hundreds of longswords.
Li Chang'an gathered true energy in his right palm and unleashed a powerful palm strike, the Cloud-Dispelling Palm, which once again forced hundreds of longswords to Deng Tai'a's feet.
"The Peach Blossom Sword God has some skill... but that's not enough."
Facing a dense array of longswords before him, the Peach Blossom Sword God struggled to maintain his stance, the sword intent emanating from the peach blossom branch in his hand barely holding on.
Deng Tai'a's Peach Blossom Sword Intent may seem like a random name, but it actually stems from his arrogant belief that every blade of grass and every tree can be a sword.
The Great River Sword Intent and the Peach Blossom Sword Intent collided fiercely, trapping the floating swords in the middle, which were clearly under immense pressure.
The Peach Blossom Sword Intent was fierce and unparalleled, its offensive unabated, while the Great River Sword Intent was as imposing as a rainbow, flowing continuously!
Sword energy surged across the lake's surface, smashing open large holes in the frozen Tingchao Lake, sending ice shards flying and chilling air wafting through the air!
Another opponent, Chen Zhibao, was also firmly suppressed on the shore by this overwhelming sword intent. His newly formed terrestrial immortal energy was unable to withstand the ravages of the great river sword intent.
Li Chang'an, possessing the three realms in one, has the Vajra Physique, the Mysterious Finger Technique, and the Celestial Phenomenon Perception. These three realms complement each other, laying the strongest foundation for his advancement to a terrestrial immortal.
"Keng!"
A crisp sound came from the group of swords. Under the pressure of the Great River Sword Intent and the Peach Blossom Sword Intent, a long sword was actually broken in two!
Before anyone could react, a series of metallic snapping sounds rang out as longswords were broken by the sword intent, losing their momentum and then falling limply to the ground.
Li Chungang watched this scene with a complicated expression as hundreds of longswords were broken one by one and fell to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.
More than half a year ago, Li Chungang had witnessed Li Chang'an's overwhelming sword intent, but it was definitely not as strong as it is now.
At that time, Li Chang'an used softness to overcome hardness and skillful force, employing the continuous flow of the Great River Sword Intent to forcefully close the Heavenly Gate.
But now Li Chang'an is using sword intent to clash with sword intent, a head-on collision, which is the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
"Deng Tai'a, it seems our title of Sword God has been used in vain."
"If there truly is a sword god in this world, then it should be Li Chang'an, whose Great River Sword Intent is the number one sword in the world!"
The two experts on the lake stared in disbelief at the rare spectacle of the broken sword descending from the sky.
Although one of these broken swords was their personal sword, they didn't care about the pain.
These experts were all incredibly excited about the showdown between the two great sword masters!
"That's incredible! Even the old Sword God is impressed!"
