The Bad Guys: Everyone, let’s revive the Tang Dynasty together!

Chapter 324 This Road Can't Stop
In the southern part of Fengxiang East City, most of the residents had been driven away from their homes by the palace guards in the dark. In fact, even if no one came to ask them to leave, the people living in this area would have fled spontaneously.

On this apparently ordinary winter night, this residential area has become extremely dangerous. Two figures are fighting on the roof and in the air, entangled endlessly. They have no purpose in the night, yet it seems that one of them is deliberately leading them towards the top of the city.

Although the two figures, whose shapes were completely indistinguishable in the darkness, seldom actually affected the buildings beneath their feet during the fierce battle, it was an indisputable fact that rubble was blown away wherever they passed and a big hole was created by a casual hit of the two men in the stone wall. In this situation, home was no longer a shelter, and the residents in this area all fled far to the north with their families. During this period, the guards of the Prince Qi's palace were responsible for maintaining order.

At this moment, no one cared about the details. Don't you see that the biggest spy in Fengxiang City was slashing his sword in front of King Qi, and the sky above half of the city was filled with thick sword energy which had not yet dissipated. At this critical juncture, no one present was likely to care about others.

Fortunately, the two figures flew all the way to the top of the city wall during the fight, and did not cause any major damage in the process, nor did they harm the civilians. Even the palace guards who had previously fired a hail of arrows at the opponent of King Qi were not targeted.

The gorgeous sword energy was like a winding Milky Way ribbon, sweeping across the night sky.

The defenders in the south of the city had already been on high alert. The city walls were filled with armored soldiers holding sharp weapons, and bows and crossbows were brought out. Seeing the two figures entangled in the air and flying towards this side, anyone would be afraid.

The guard walked back and forth holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring and following the figure in the distance in the air that could not be distinguished in the night. Since he had been informed by the palace guards, he already knew that one of them was King Qi. Seeing that the two were getting closer, he naturally thought about helping King Qi.

However, before the defenders there could make any move, Li Maozhen's furious voice was heard.

"Go away!"

"Whoever dares to interfere will be killed first!"

There was an immediate uproar on the city wall. The soldiers didn't want to get involved in such a fight between gods, but they didn't dare to leave their posts. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the voice.

The defending general did not dare to act on his own and hurriedly led his soldiers to surrender the city wall.

The sword energy collided with the violent internal energy, making a loud bang like thunder, causing hundreds of soldiers who were unable to avoid it to couldn't help but look up and watch.

A young man in a blue robe came with a sword in his hand, and behind him was a stream of sword energy as continuous as a rainbow. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, reflecting the blood-red sword in his hand, and it was extremely gorgeous in the firelight on the city.

Behind him was a tall man with disheveled hair, looking a little unkempt. His royal robe was torn in half, but he rode the wind to land on the city wall. His eyes, after their hair was torn, were of a different color, one blood red and the other shining brightly with golden light. His handsome face was full of murderous intent. He clenched his palms, and actually gathered all the sword energy around him in his palms, condensing them into a flickering purple light, and he approached the young man with the sword.

The generals and soldiers were in an uproar. Why was King Qi in such a miserable state?

But no one would answer their questions. In the direction where the two men on the city wall were heading, several figures quickly followed and divided into two distinct factions.

On the one hand, they were the two girls, Duo Wentian and Yang Yantian, who had secretly returned to Huanyinfang to get the sword for Xiao Yan.

On the one hand, there were people who stayed behind in Prince Qi's mansion. Among them, besides one or two generals, there were also several people from the martial arts world who had already joined Prince Qi's army. Their strength was around the minor celestial level and they were famous enough in the martial arts world. However, in the current battle, they did not even have the qualifications to intervene. They could only watch in amazement and fear.

In front of the two people on the city wall, those who are at the middle heaven level or the small heaven level are probably no different from those at the small star level and can be killed with ease.

Duo Wentian held the scabbard of the Zixiao Sword in his hand and exchanged glances with Yang Yantian beside him. They were both impressed and at the same time couldn't help but feel admiration for Xiao Yan.

The two women had never had any direct contact with Xiao Yan before, and their previous understanding of Xiao Yan was only through the stories told by Miao Chengtian and others. In fact, it was difficult to imagine how powerful a young man in his twenties could be to deserve such self-righteous women like Miao Chengtian to tirelessly tell him about his deeds over and over again.

Even the empress who was worshipped as a god by everyone in Huanyinfang admired the champion marquis of Daliang in some tiny details, which surprised the two girls, Duowentian, but they had never had any direct experience of it.

It was not until today that the shock of seeing it with their own eyes completely crushed and satisfied the curiosity of the two girls. After seeing that King Qi, whom even the empress could not resist, could only fight with Xiao Yan, the two girls were shocked beyond words.

Duo Wentian and Yang Yantian were watching the battle from a distance. Just thinking about the things Miao Chengtian had said gave them goose bumps all over their bodies and they could not control their emotions.

On top of the city.

Finally leading Li Maozhen here, Xiao Yan completely let go of his hands and feet. The sword moves in his hands were no longer limited to the nine moves of the Green Lotus Sword Song, but all the moves that he had perfected were also used.

The Green Lotus Sword Song is a set of sword techniques that are elegant and graceful, with moves that appear invisible. It also has the soul-stirring style of Li Bai in the past. It is dangerous and powerful. Once a move is made, it presents an endless momentum. The sharp sword energy can no longer be easily crushed by Li Maozhen.

Moreover, the Zixiao sword held by Xiao Yan was no ordinary sword. It had the appearance of a famous sword and it was difficult for Li Maozhen to break it with brute force. Even as strong as the King of Qi was, in just a short moment, his body was covered with sword marks of varying depths and sizes, with blood oozing out. The remaining sword energy seemed to want to crush his body.

Li Maozhen seemed to feel no pain at all, with only murderous intent in his strange eyes. The Illusion Sound Technique he created echoed around his whole body. This technique had reached perfection in his hands. Purple energy flowed from his body, and his aura instantly disappeared from the world when he walked. His figure flashed on the top of the city wall, which was extremely strange.

The Illusion Sound Technique is a martial art that relies on Qi to create an illusion of body. The higher the internal strength, the faster the speed. As the founder and master of this school, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Maozhen's speed is already the best in the world.

Xiao Yan's body skills were not his advantage, but he could only barely compete with Li Maozhen because of his strong internal strength. However, he was very calm from beginning to end. Li Maozhen wanted to rely on his body skills to bully him, but he would not let him do so. The sword in his hand flew out, dividing the long corridor of the city wall into sword energy cages, allowing Li Maozhen to tear the sword energy in them continuously.

When the two of them reach this level, it is difficult to tell the winner easily. After Xiao Yan's trip to the Twelve Caves, the upper limit of his internal strength was infinitely expanded by the Qi Meridian. If his Dantian was just a mouthful of lake water before, it has now expanded into great rivers and rushes into the endless sea.

As a genius that even the elder Li Jian had to admit, Li Maozhen was accepted as a disciple by the Great Cave Lord. His martial arts skills were so profound that ordinary people could not even glimpse them. The internal strength of the two men was so deep that ordinary moves were no longer a means of determining victory or defeat.

Moreover, the moment when Xiao Yanguan used his Qi meridians and all his sword power to force Li Maozhen to disappear from the roof was actually the move that determined the outcome of the battle between the two.

But even though Xiao Yan noticed that Li Maozhen's energy disappeared for a few breaths at that moment, Li Maozhen was still able to revive with full blood to fight Xiao Yan for life and death.

Xiao Yan knew that Li Maozhen's Meteoric Life Gu had been developed, so he no longer tried to defeat the enemy with one move. He just put all his strength into his attack, treating Li Maozhen as a whetstone, giving him the opportunity to display everything he had learned in his life, without holding back.

The so-called Meteoric Gu, Uncle Li Xuan had never seen its full picture. This Gu was a secret method of the Twelve Caves, and only the descendants of the Great Cave Master could learn it. To cultivate this Gu, one needs to feed it with one's own flesh and blood for ten years. The torture experienced during this period was bloody. During these ten years, the person who raised the Gu was like a puppet of the Gu, and could not extricate himself easily. Otherwise, one move would affect the whole body, and his own strength would be greatly damaged, and several years of hard work would go to waste.

It is said that in the history of Twelve Caves, there are only a few people who can raise this Gu. These are all the things I know. The actual conditions are incredibly harsh and can only be summed up as "determined will".

Li Maozhen is a rare person in history who has the conditions to raise Gu.

After raising the life-killing Gu, the Gu owner can be considered to have truly benefited. This Gu parasitizes in the body of the Gu host, and the two feed each other. If the Gu dies, the person will die. But if the person dies and the Gu comes back to life, the person can be brought back to life. This is beyond the scope of justice. There is a reason why the Twelve Caves were suppressed by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

As for the price to be paid after cultivating the Gu, I don’t know, but it is obviously not a one-time solution.

Back to the present, Xiao Yan no longer cared about the gains and losses of each move, and he could not figure out where in Li Maozhen's body the Meteorite Gu was kept. So he just acted freely, and the sword energy around him was like a rainbow. The entire corridor of the city wall was covered with sword marks that were inches deep, and most of the battlements exposed outside were also completely destroyed.

No matter how cunning Li Maozhen's movements were, he could not get within ten feet of him.

To outsiders, Xiao Yan was strolling leisurely on the top of the city wall, holding a sword in his hand, with his clothes and sleeves fluttering, which actually looked quite freehand.

Li Maozhen was annoyed. Although there was a difference in internal strength between him and Xiao Yan, the difference was not too big. Xiao Yan couldn't do anything to him, so why couldn't he win quickly?
Among the people of this world, perhaps only Yuan Tiangang is at this level who can quickly kill two people with his overwhelming internal strength. Otherwise, unless one of them has completely exhausted his internal strength, it will be difficult to make any progress between him and Xiao Yan.

But even if he knew this, how could Li Maozhen not be angry when he saw the Purple Night Sword being wielded gracefully in Xiao Yan's hand? How could he not be angry?
He had already abandoned his rationality to fight, and had not even cared about the gains and losses of the camp outside the city. He was determined to kill Xiao Yan himself, so how could he care about injuries and pain?

Li Maozhen let out a low shout, and raised his two palms in front of him, with four fingers together. His pair of strange eyes shone brightly, and he muttered a few obscure spells. Then he suddenly shouted, spread his arms, and his five fingers were like hooks, as if pulling suddenly in the night.

"rise!"

In an instant, half of the city wall behind Li Maozhen was filled with dark green mist, with a strong aura in it. It seemed as if only for a moment, and as the word "rise" sounded, the entire city wall was instantly swept by abundant voodoo, and the endless sword energy was broken up in it, as if it was going to wash away the sword energy cages that Xiao Yan had casually set up.

In fact, this was true. Li Maozhen's move was so powerful that even a strong man like him felt a little exhausted. Li Maozhen did not expect this move to bring much threat to Xiao Yan. He only seized the moment when the layers of sword energy were swept away, and his figure suddenly dissipated, leaving only a wisp of afterimage, and finally he was in front of Xiao Yan!

"My king, I want you to die!!"

Finally, I got close to him, finally I got to close combat, finally I got rid of Xiao Yan's tough sword energy. Li Maozhen's momentum surged, his handsome face was a little ferocious due to excitement, and before he stretched out his palm, he had already rubbed out a dazzling purple light in his palm. In close combat, how could Xiao Yan, a thief who kept pulling the distance between the two of us, fight with me! ?
Once I interrupt his sword moves and take back the Qi Wang Sword, how can Xiao Yan, who only relies on his sword skills, survive? ?

"I have said before, you are seeking your own death!"

But after uttering these words, Li Maozhen's eyes suddenly narrowed.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He turned his wrist and threw the Zixiao sword behind him, making it stick several feet away. Then he retreated half a step and made an extremely ancient boxing stance.

Li Maozhen's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Yan exhaled slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a wisp of frost appeared that was visible to the naked eye.

"I forgot to tell Brother Song——"

Xiao Yan's figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he suddenly appeared in front of Li Maozhen. His left fist hit the latter's palm, which was shining with purple light, and his right arm was suddenly swung up. Then, he suddenly shook his forearm and punched with a swift punch as fast as thunder, just like frost and dew, which wiped out the purple energy protecting Li Maozhen's left side and hit his left face with a bang.

There was a sound of bones breaking. Li Maozhen's head tilted and his body was knocked sideways, smashing a large part of the parapet. His back was dented and his head hung outside the wall, looking as if he was dead.

At this time, Xiao Yan's second sentence was completely finished.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Xiao, in addition to swordsmanship, I also know a little bit about boxing and kicking."

As the sound came, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly flashed again, and the next punch came at the moment when Li Maozhen staggered to his feet.

then,

The third punch.

The fourth punch.

The entire city was filled with cold air. The area within five feet around where Xiao Yan passed was frozen into ice, shaped like the reflection of a frost river, reflecting the moonlight and containing an extremely chilly atmosphere.

------

After the empress led thousands of cavalry through the city gate and initially took control of the situation in the city, she galloped non-stop towards the south of the city. Her cold phoenix eyes reflected the streets. Any Qi Wang guards who were still resisting were captured wherever she passed. The dazed and panicked palace guards either saluted or stood blankly on the side of the road. No matter who they were, they were ignored by the empress.

"Uh...!"

Just as they reached the south gate of the city, the sound of the earth-shattering and landslide on the top of the city wall suddenly slowed down, and then there was a loud bang, and a wall was suddenly smashed by someone. A figure flew out, doubled in the air, and slid several feet down the street before he managed to steady himself. He half-knelt on the street, supporting the ground with his hands. His face was covered with blood, and his complexion could not be seen clearly. His back kept rising and falling, as if he was constantly breathing in and out.

As a result, the horse under the empress suddenly neighed loudly and jumped up with its front hooves, obviously being very frightened.

However, the empress just held the reins tightly, with complex emotions on her face, but ultimately she was just cold and silent with her phoenix eyes. She sat on horseback a few feet away and looked at the figure with untied hair on the long street from afar.

Behind her, Fanyintian and Guangmutian both hurriedly reined in their horses. Their mounts were somewhat unstable, but they had no intention of caring about anything at this moment. They just stared silently at the figure whose royal robe was almost torn to pieces and half of his body was stained with blood, feeling inexplicably moved.

Duo Wentian, holding the scabbard, came over from afar with Yang Yantian. After being imprisoned for more than half a year, even if he had a lot to say to the empress and the others, he couldn't say it now.

Li Maozhen half-knelt on the street, slowly raised his eyes, and could see traces of blood where he had slid across half of the street. The soldiers at the city gate in the distance were surrounding this side in panic, but seemed to have some reservations. They just stopped far away, holding torches and looking at him silently.

It seemed that in an instant, the surroundings became bright, with torches everywhere, as if all the soldiers in the city had gathered here, looking at him from afar, looking at him, the King of Qi from afar.

But these were just illusions. On this long street, apart from the soldiers at the South Gate, only the empress and others were standing on horseback on the street. There were people rushing towards this side in the distance, but Li Maozhen had no intention of paying attention to them.

He raised his head again, and stared at the broken section of the city wall with his almond-shaped eyes.

A figure slowly walked out from the shadow behind the wall, with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the cold wind, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night, but in a trance, Li Maozhen seemed to be able to see the indifferent gaze that was sweeping towards him.

"Ha ha……"

Li Maozhen laughed out loud, supporting himself on the ground. For the first time in his life, he felt somewhat weak. Veins bulged on the back of his hands. When he turned his head, he saw the city gate soldiers in front of him retreating in panic.

Li Maozhen stared at the group of soldiers who looked at him like a tiger with his strange eyes. Suddenly, he became a little bored. He slowly stood up and turned to look at the empress several feet away.

The empress also looked at him without saying a word.

Li Maozhen scanned slowly, including Brahma Sound Heaven, Guangmu Heaven, Duowen Heaven, and Yangyan Heaven. He was familiar with every woman, but he also felt that every one of them was a stranger to him. The sense of alienation made him dare not admit it and could not believe it.

"Brother Wang, please stop."

The empress finally spoke.

Li Maozhen glanced at her, laughed, did not reply, and did not say anything else. He slowly walked towards the empress and her entourage.

All the women in Brahma Heaven were a little nervous and wanted to protect the empress, but the empress remained calm and held the reins without moving.

The gaze on the city wall was also watching the moving Li Maozhen.

Perhaps because he noticed the actions of Fan Yintian and others or was afraid of the gaze behind him, Li Maozhen took a few steps but suddenly stopped. Then he turned around, glanced at the figure from a distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This road, my king, cannot be stopped."

He muttered to himself and turned around. Without looking at the empress, he hesitated for a moment, then bent his legs slightly. The stone slabs under his feet cracked instantly, and he rose from the ground with a bang and headed straight to the north.

Xiao Yan stood alone on the top of the city wall, watching Li Maozhen's figure leap a few times in the city and disappear into the night in the north.

He did not chase after him. Li Maozhen was immortal and extremely powerful. The empress in Fengxiang City had lost her martial arts skills. It was not easy for Xiao Yan alone to stop him.

It would be bad if the King of Qi went on a killing spree in Fengxiang just because he tried to stop Li Maozhen.

The empress also heard Li Maozhen's mumbling and was silent for a while, but finally she just let out a long sigh, regrouped, and gave orders to the officials and generals who had hurried over.

"After tonight, the entire city will be sealed off. Send envoys to inform the towns in the north that I will not leave Fengxiang for the next half month. All towns need to be careful to prevent accidents."

The officials, who were all confused but had guessed some of the inside story, dared not say much. The god of death on the top of the city was still standing there, and it was obvious that he was the man of the "King Qi" in front of them.

Even though everyone guessed that this King Qi must be the empress of Huanyinfang, no one present dared to object and they all saluted with their arms crossed.

"Here!"
