My Endless Life.

Chapter 327: Peace at last

"Cough cough cough..."

Liu Xuan was already barely breathing.

The thunder tribulation that carries the will of heaven cannot be resisted by ordinary martial saints.

If Liu Xuan was at the peak of Martial Saint, he might still be able to survive the thunderbolt. However, he was only at the early stage of Martial Saint, and Li Qi used his Yan Jia to transfer most of the power of thunderbolt to him.

At this moment, Liu Xuan has little hope of survival.

But when he saw Li Qi falling from the sky, he smiled:
"Hahaha, great Li Qi, great Phoenix, you win..."

His tone was long, as if he was sighing, and as if he was expressing regret.

Liu Xuan looked up at the long dragon vein above the capital and said to Li Qi:

"I already knew that the Emperor Qi had bad intentions, but what could I do? The Emperor Qi has been planning something. Although I don't know what he is planning, as a martial saint, I instinctively feel that this is definitely not a good thing for martial artists.

"So when he invited me to come and kill you, I agreed without a second thought, because only by killing you first can I devote more energy to dealing with him."

"Then why didn't you think of cooperating with me?"

Li Qi asked softly.

He promised that if Liu Xuan cooperated with him, he would never harm Liu Xuan after he broke through to the level of Martial Saint.

Liu Xuan also gave an answer to this:
"If you are weaker than me and choose to cooperate with me to deal with Emperor Qi, do you think... I will be on equal footing with you in the future?"

"..."

"I don't want to be a dog, and neither do you. If I choose to cooperate with you, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of you. By then, I won't be able to call myself a martial saint or a demon lord."

Liu Xuan said softly, and slowly exhaled: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Victory is justice. It has been like this since ancient times. In this battle of martial saints, you won."

"..."

Li Qi remained silent and did not respond. He also looked at the black and purple dragon above the palace. After staring for a long time, he suddenly asked:
"Any last words?"

"Do you know that with the birth of the Cleansing Platform, the previous second-rank master of my Wanmo Dao Sect left a prophecy before his death?"

"What prophecy?"

"The phoenix appears, and the world changes... Now that you have appeared, where is the change in the world...?"

Liu Xuan spoke as if he was sighing, and finally he took a deep breath, barely stood up from the ground, and with a wave of his right hand, a long sword formed by demonic energy appeared in his hand.

He slowly raised his sword, pointed the tip of the sword at Li Qi, and then said:

"I don't want to live in humiliation, nor do I want to die in frustration, so Li Qi... come on!!"

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he rushed towards Li Qi regardless of everything.

Seeing that the world's first martial saint launched a fearless attack on him, Li Qi did not use any means except martial arts.

He raised his hand, and a long sword condensed from flames appeared in his right hand, and then it crossed paths with Liu Xuan who was rushing towards him.

After one move, the two turned their backs to each other, and the Qi sword in Liu Xuan's hand disappeared. Finally, he knelt on one knee, turned his back to Li Qi and said:

"...Leave a trace of fire for my Wanmo Dao Sect...Please."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuan fell to the ground, no longer having any sign of life.

His spirit and life disappeared with the knife Li Qi just stabbed.

Li Qi did not give him a chance for his spiritual will to escape. Just like those second-grade masters who were burned by Li Qi's flames before, their lives and grandmaster's wills were all turned to ashes under the flames.

Li Qi dealt with the seriously injured Liu Xuan and turned his attention back to the imperial palace in the distance.

The black air above became more and more obvious, gradually replacing Liu Xuan's evil energy and shrouding the sky above the capital.

Li Qi could see wisps of black gas spreading in the sky like a grid, and finally dissipating into the air.

"Roar!!!!"

The deafening dragon roar sounded again. Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and turned into a ball of fire and came to the top of the palace. His gaze pierced through the layers of obstacles within the palace and fell on Emperor Qi who was sitting on the throne.

Perhaps sensing Li Qi's gaze, a smile appeared on Emperor Qi's strange face:

"You're too late..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar spread out from the dragon vein within the palace.

When this roar sounded, not only the people in the capital, but all the martial artists in the world seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more sense of loss one has, as if something has been broken.

All the masters over the age of 150 were killed on the spot, those who were close to 100 were on the verge of death, and those who were in their seventies and eighties looked dozens of years older in an instant.

The life span increased by the grandmaster was taken back, the vitality of heaven and earth gradually dissipated, and Li Qi could feel that the great path belonging to warriors was gradually being cut off.

At this moment, Li Qi understood what Emperor Qi was doing.

"You're crazy."

Li Qi spoke softly to Emperor Qi.

Emperor Qi smiled bitterly and said:
"As long as I can... make the Zhao family of Great Qi last for thousands of years, even if I am hostile to the warriors in the world, what does it matter?"

"Do you really think that your Great Qi Zhao clan can last for thousands of years?"

Li Qi looked at the dragon vein. Because of Emperor Qi's actions, the strange aura in the dragon vein gradually dissipated and dissolved into the air, and the purple-black dragon vein also gradually faded from black to reveal the dull golden body underneath.

However, the dragon vein was covered with cracks, as if it would break at any moment.

Even the life of Emperor Qi himself came to an end because of the dragon vein.

Li Qi instantly lost the mood to attack Emperor Qi. Such a suicidal attack by the opponent not only offended Li Qi, but also offended thousands of warriors in this world.

The angry warriors who had their martial arts paths cut off hated the Zhao family to death.

The Zhao family still wants ten thousand years?

I'm afraid that in a dozen years or so, the world will have a new dynasty.

Hearing Li Qi's question, Emperor Qi laughed wildly. He stood up from the throne and shouted:

"I!! Zhao Qiongxuan!! Destroy martial arts! Preserve humanity! It is for the sake of the millions of people in this world! I feel ashamed of the martial artists! I feel ashamed of the descendants of the Zhao family, but I am absolutely not ashamed of Da Qi, and I am not ashamed of the millions of ordinary people in this world!
"Today, I have no reason to live, but if the people of the world remember the kindness of my Zhao family, they will surely support my descendants to become the emperor!
"Li Qi, you are the Martial Saint, you are the most respected martial artist in the world, but you are not the most respected common people, nor the most respected scholar in the world! Whether our Great Qi can last for thousands of years is not up to you to decide!"

"Yes, I don't have the final say." Li Qi nodded and raised his hand gently: "But as a martial saint, the most respected martial artist in the world, I must seek justice for all martial artists in the world."

Countless flames were suspended under the blue sky. When Emperor Qi saw those fireballs and Li Qi's current look, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

He looked around. The eunuchs and palace maids around him had already been sent away by him. He was the only one in the palace.

With a slight sigh, Emperor Qi turned around and sat back on the dragon throne. Then he nodded to Li Qi and said silently:
"Is it fair? That's a good reason... Li Qi, thank you."

After he finished speaking, Li Qi lowered his right hand, and fire rained down from the sky like a punishment from heaven!
The red flames set the imperial palace on fire, but did not damage any other palaces except the main hall.

As if to vent his anger, Li Qi razed the palace to the ground again and again, turning it into a boundless sea of ​​fire.

The flames burned for a whole day and night, and finally stopped when even the ground had vaporized.

After the flames died down, the original hall was replaced by a crystal floor.

Everything that was originally there, including the palace, the Emperor Qi, and various luxurious decorative buildings, were all burned to ashes, leaving no trace of their existence.

After doing all this, Li Qicai finally left and fled overseas.

He had no plans to bring the Li family back.

The Emperor of Qi is dead, and the Great Qi will face a turbulent power transition. What the Emperor of Qi did has offended many military men in the world.

Although scholars and common people all over the world would think that what the Emperor of Qi did was a good thing, this could not prevent the military men from uniting against the Great Qi.

Moreover, the army has the largest number of warriors. Although not all military families will be hostile to the Zhao family, some of them will become alienated from the Zhao family because of this.

Da Qi will become even more chaotic in the future. It is not suitable for the Li family to come back. It would be good for them to settle down and reproduce overseas.

"Yes, but we have to watch out for the barbarians in the north. Even if Da Qi is in chaos, we must not let them invade us."

The northernmost and northwest directions of Da Qi are where the barbarians live.

They also have warriors and masters, and the masters are eyeing the Central Plains covetously.

What the Emperor of Qi did this time might give them an opportunity and excuse to invade the Central Plains. Li Qi was a native of the Central Plains after all and had some feelings for this place, so he planned to stay in the north after settling the Li family and prevent all barbarians from entering the Central Plains.

Li Qi turned into a beam of light and flew away, taking his armor with him.

Although the battle in the capital was settled, the subsequent situation in the martial arts world was far from calm.

Liu Xuan died in battle, Li Qi broke through to become a Martial Saint when he was less than 20 years old. In order to target martial artists in Jianghu, Emperor Qi cut off their paths to martial arts, and from now on, there will be no more Grand Masters in Jianghu.

All kinds of news spread throughout the world.

Especially the last one, which aroused the anger of both the good and evil forces in the world!
Even though 99 percent of the warriors in the world will never be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in their lifetime, they still think that it was the Emperor of Qi and the Zhao family of Great Qi who ruined the future of martial arts!

The forces of good and evil rarely join together and want to launch a hunting order against the Zhao family.

In other words, regardless of life or death, regardless of the consequences, the entire Zhao family must be killed!
But in the end he was stopped by the immortal phoenix Li Qi.

Li Qi's reason was very simple. The culprit was Emperor Qi, and he had already crushed Emperor Qi to ashes, leaving not even his soul behind. This was enough.

Instead of targeting the Zhao family of Da Qi and killing them all, it would be better to preserve the martial arts secrets of each school as soon as possible and brainstorm to come up with a way to continue the path of martial arts.

Li Qi's reason was actually not convincing. At least many warriors felt that since Emperor Qi dared to do such a thing, he should be prepared for the Zhao family to be wiped out.

However, Li Qi is the only martial saint in the world after all.

Even if the Grand Master can no longer live longer, and the Martial Saint probably can't either, Li Qi is only twenty years old now, so a conservative estimate is that he can live for at least another sixty years!
In these sixty years, Li Qi has been the undisputed number one in the martial arts world! The undisputed leader of the martial arts world!

All warriors must listen to him.

Therefore, the world became quiet.

But even though the martial arts world is barely peaceful, the world will never be peaceful.

As Li Qi expected, within only half a year, some people started an uprising under the slogan of "annihilate the evil Zhao family".

In the following year, three uprising armies with different slogans emerged, one of which was even an army from the imperial court.

The commander of that army was once a third-rank master.

At this point, Da Qi entered a completely chaotic era.

But this has nothing to do with Li Qi. He has already returned to the Li family and lived the stable life he dreamed of, spending the rest of his life in leisure.
