Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 480: The World Situation (II)

In view of this, Mahāmitā made a reform, carefully selecting ten evil and violent people by nature and entrusting them with the position of Dharma protectors, so that these people could carry out the Dharma and spread the Dharma on his behalf.

During the period of total victory, there were a total of ten Dharma protectors in the entire Later Zhou Dynasty, but only three of them were truly qualified, valued by the demon Amitabha, and granted the divine palm.

They are Mo Lixie, Mo Libi and Mo Limang. These three people call themselves disciples of Mo Mituo, so their hairstyle and clothes are all deliberately imitated.

Among them, Mo Lixie has the highest martial arts skills, and he has mastered three magical palms: the Appearance of Buddha's Light, the Golden-top Buddha Lamp, and the Descent of Heavenly Buddha.

After the battle at Shuangfei Fort, Mo Amitabha was enlightened by Yi Ye Shu, attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.

The Temple of Truth he left behind naturally lost its cohesion and scattered like monkeys when the tree fell.

In addition, Guo Rong had long harbored a grudge against Demon Amitabha. After he defected to Huangfu Ji, he would never let the remaining evildoers go, and even the orthodox Buddhist sect was affected.

Among the ten Dharma protectors, seven were captured and beheaded after a manhunt.

The three people with the highest martial arts skills lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Afterwards, in a cave, he accidentally obtained the first seven moves of Tathagata Palm to complete his martial arts.

Mo Lixie was the first to master the seven styles in order to take revenge on Guo Rong.

He killed the two people who were traveling with him and swallowed the relics left behind by them after their death. His power increased greatly, and he went out to seek revenge on Guo Rong.

Just when Liu Chong of Northern Han and Liao Kingdom jointly attacked Later Zhou, Mo Lixie saw the opportunity and came to join them.

Mo Lixie did not take action in the battle because he was looking for an opportunity.

Sure enough, Guo Rong, with the momentum of a great victory, was about to lead his troops in pursuit.

Mo Lixie seized the opportunity and attacked.

Afterwards, he even used his wisdom to provoke Guo Rong in front of the Later Zhou army, forcing him to fight him alone.

The two sides fought fiercely. Mo Lixie was determined to die, so he ignored his own health and used all his divine palms to attack, forcing Guo Rong to use all his divine palms.

Seeing that the Hun Tian Divine Palm was unable to defeat Mo Lixie, Guo Rong used the Tianjing left by Huangfu Ji to merge the Hun Tian Bao Jian·the sixth level·Dark Chaos with the Tathagata Divine Palm.

In the end, although he broke Mo Lixie's three-stroke combination of 'Welcome the Buddha to the West, Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, and Heavenly Buddha Descends to the World', he was also at the end of his rope, with his meridians in a state of festering and rupture. It was too late to save him, not even the gods could.

Zhao Kuangyin, who went forward to check, realized that Guo Rong's condition was not caused by Mo Lixie, but for other reasons.

Guo Rong himself was not very talented, and being able to practice the five styles of Tathagata Palm and the first five levels of Hun Tian Bao Jian was already his limit.

Huangfu Ji had no good intentions when he left behind the 'Dark Chaos' Sky Crystal.

He knew that Guo Rong had evil intentions and could not resist the temptation of magical skills. If he forced himself to practice the sixth level of Hun Tian Bao Jian, he would eventually hurt himself and leave a disaster.

Originally, Guo Rong only needed to stop practicing to stop his health from deteriorating further.

However, for the sake of his dignity as an emperor, Guo Rong had to defeat Mo Lixie in public, even at the cost of overdrawing his life, which triggered the old injury caused by Xiang Wuhen in the past, causing his meridians to be severed and one foot to step into the gates of hell.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin used his Xiantian Qiankun Gong to protect his heart meridian, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it would only be a last gasp.

That night, Zhao Kuangyin led a large army to escort Guo Rong back to the capital Kaifeng.

After he returned to Beijing, he lay bedridden for a long time.

Even though the Later Zhou court tried its best to suppress the news of Guo Rong's critical illness, it gradually became a topic of conversation on the streets.

The imperial doctors tried every possible way, but it was just a drop in the bucket and they were unable to stop Guo Rong's health from continuing to deteriorate.

More than 20 days later, Guo Rong died of his injuries. He was in power for only one month and was known in history as "Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou."

According to the will, the two-year-old son Guo Zongxun succeeded to the throne as "Emperor Gong of Later Zhou". As Guo Zongxun was too young, the government fell into the hands of Empress Dowager Fu, eunuch Yan Lishan and a group of relatives.

When the ruler is young and the country is in doubt, people will naturally become uneasy.

Zhao Kuangyin, who controlled the imperial guards, made Empress Fu and others fearful, so they issued an order to send Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army to the north. In name, they wanted him to inherit the will of the previous emperor, but in reality they hoped that he would die on the battlefield.

Zhao Kuangyin had long seen through the plot of this group of people, and he went with the flow and no longer hid his ambitions.

After planning with his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and Zhang Yongde and other close confidants, he led 50,000 troops north across the Yellow River and set up camp at Chenqiao Posthouse.

That night, under the instigation of Zhang Yongde, all the soldiers rushed into Zhao Kuangyin's camp and swore allegiance.

Zhao Kuangyin put on the yellow robe and ascended the throne as emperor.

In order to avoid taboo, Zhao Kuangyi changed his name to Zhao Guangyi.

The next morning, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops into the unguarded Kaifeng, killed Yan Lishan and others, and forced Empress Dowager Fu to issue an order for Guo Zongxun to abdicate.

Zhao Kuangyin officially became the emperor of the Xin Dynasty. Since the war zone under his jurisdiction was Songzhou, he named the country "Song".

The Song Dynasty was founded and the reign title was changed to "Jianlong", forming a stalemate with Li Chenzhou's New Tang Dynasty.

As for the battle between Yixie Huangfu Ji and King Ming, it should have taken place two months ago.

Unexpectedly, there was no news until someone discovered a large pit next to the Shennv Mountain in Miaojiang.

They concluded that it must be the place where Huangfu Ji and King Ming had their secret decisive battle, and that they both died together, which was certain.

In addition, Li Chenzhou has never clarified the rumor, which has led to it being widely accepted by people in the underworld.

Yinling, Yunpiaopiao and Shi Hui also curiously asked Li Chenzhou where Huangfu Ji and King Ming had gone.

Li Chenzhou just smiled without saying anything, saying that he would meet them again one day.
-
Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Let's go back to two months ago. Huangfu Ji sent a message to change the location of the battle and informed Li Chenzhou's other incarnation, Ming Wang, to change the location from the Forbidden Palace of the Later Zhou Dynasty to the Immortal Forbidden Land next to the Goddess Mountain.

The time for the duel was approaching, Huangfu Ji had already arrived with Chen Bo. The Fairy Sword Nun, who had regained her youthful appearance, stood beside them, her eyes revealing an inability to conceal her hatred for Huangfu Ji.

As the time came, the sun and the moon appeared simultaneously in the sky.

Then, the sun and the moon merged into one, and the yin and yang merged, and the Ming Wang emerged from it. His aura descended from the sky, and he looked at the former world's best masters with awe, "Huangfu Ji, it seems that you have comprehended the final form of Hun Tian Bao Jian, 'Xuan Yu Ji'."

At this moment, Huangfu Ji's fierce aura was completely gone, and he felt like he had returned to his original nature. "Thanks to the battle in the Forbidden Palace, I was able to comprehend the 'Mysterious Universe' from the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage' performed by Yi Ye Shu."

"However, it seems that you haven't finished your personal affairs yet." Ming Wang looked at the Fairy Sword Nun beside him.

Huangfu Ji had realized it long ago, "As long as this battle is over, the private matter can be settled."

"In that case, let's get started." Ming Wang couldn't wait to experience the 'Xuan Universe'.

"Well, I have been ready for a long time."

As they spoke, the two of them used their internal energy together, and the Mingshen Wudian and Hun Tian Baojian, two of the world's greatest martial arts, burst out, filling the surroundings, and the collision of qi made a huge noise.

The Ming Shen Wu Dian was pushed to its peak, and the all-yang realm merged with the all-yin realm to form a body of yin and yang. The eyes of the Ming Wang turned into the sun and moon divine pupils, and his vision became extremely broad, and he could see everything.

"Ming Shen Wu Dian·Yin Yang Jiao Tai" Yuan Yang Qi and Xuan Yin Qi penetrate the body and come out, forming a killing move.

“The Mirror of the Great Heaven·The Sixth Level·Dark Chaos” Huangfu Ji displayed the Mirror of the Great Heaven at the sixth level, his Qi was thick and heavy.

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.
