Eternal Sword

Chapter 733: The Destruction of Southern Xia
There was complete silence inside and outside the hall.

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

Xia Zhu Tiefalie, a demon king of his time who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, could not block even a single move from Demon Lord Chen Tang!
From beginning to end, Demon Lord Chen Tang didn't even draw his sword.

In fact, the reason why Tie Falie was defeated and died in one move was mainly because his martial arts skills were restrained by the karma fire and Chen Tang planted a demon in his heart.

It’s not that there is such a big gap in fighting power between the two.

The cultivation level of the people present was not high enough, so naturally they could not see the tricks involved.

They just thought that Chen Tang's fighting power was too terrifying and too powerful, so they killed Tie Falie with just a few words.

"Master!"

The Angry King in the hall suddenly roared and fell in front of Tie Falie. He just looked up at Chen Tang and did not dare to act rashly.

Before, Chen Tang had seen the methods of this angry king. He was a man who killed people without blinking an eye.

"It turns out that you are not angry at everyone."

Chen Tang's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said lightly: "The name of the Angry King is an exaggeration."

A flash of knife light appeared in the air.

puff!

The Angry King's body was torn into pieces, blood splattered everywhere, and he lay dead on the spot.

The remaining four disciples were all horrified when they saw this scene.

Chen Tang's eyes fell on the four disciples, Greedy Master, Crazy Girl, Lingyun, and Huanxin, and said quietly, "Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt, the devil has been destroyed, and the five poisons have no need to exist anymore."

The four of them turned around and ran away without thinking.

The knife flashed and jumped four times in succession.

thump!
The four greedy men fell to the ground and died before they could run a few steps.

"See the Demon Lord!"

Outside the hall, someone suddenly stepped forward and knelt down to pay his respects.

Many of the soldiers under Tiefalie's command are from the Demonic Sect.

When Tie Falie died, all five of his disciples died. Even without the order from the Demon Lord, it was obvious who was the leader of the Demon Sect.

The rest of the people seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and they all stepped forward to salute and shout the name of the Demon Lord.

Chen Tang came to the side of the Death Demon, put his hand on the Death Demon's shoulder, and passed a ray of innate true Qi into it.

The dead demon's spirits perked up, and he felt a chill in the injured area on his back, and the pain was relieved a lot.

"From now on, he will be the master of the Demon Sect."

Chen Tang looked at the people from the Demon Sect and the civil and military officials kneeling outside the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Do not……"

The Death Demon quickly refused.

Chen Tang interrupted and said, "Don't refuse. There is no one more suitable than you."

The dead demon wanted to speak, but Chen Tang spoke first: "If I become the Demon Lord, the Demon Sect will be disbanded from now on. If you still want to stick to the Demon Sect, you have to be the leader of the Demon Sect."

He usually doesn't like to talk.

I was so anxious at the moment that I didn't know what to say.

He was interrupted again and again by Chen Tang, and he couldn't utter a word. He just looked at Chen Tang with a dim gaze.

Junior brother is obviously bullying!
"Why did he attack you?"

Chen Tang asked.

The dead demon said: "Junior sister."

"Because of the succubus?"

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly, not figuring out how the two were related.

However, he changed his mind and thought that if he continued to ask, it would take a lot of time to get the whole story of the word "Death Demon" in just two or three words.

Tiefalie is dead, so the reason doesn't matter and he doesn't care.

The Death Demon was hesitating, wondering whether to tell Chen Tang about that matter.

Chen Tang changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the Wu Dynasty was destroyed just after it was restored. Are there any former members of the Wu Dynasty who are still alive?"

After all, among the old members of the Wu Dynasty, there was also the son of Emperor Wu.

The Death Demon nodded and walked outside.

Chen Tang grabbed the Dragon Sparrow Sword from a distance and followed the Death Demon.

Not long after, the group arrived at the Daya Prison.

When the guards of the Heavenly Prison saw the Death Demon and others appear, they did not dare to stop them.

After entering the Sky Prison, Chen Tang saw a group of former members of the Wu Dynasty who were tortured and covered in wounds.

At a glance, there were probably several thousand people.

I only saw one familiar face, Kou Zhenshan.

"Brother Kou."

The smart guards noticed that something had happened in the palace, so they stepped forward and released everyone.

"Brother Chen Tang."

When Kou Zhenshan saw Chen Tang, his expression was complicated and his voice trembled.

"Is His Highness Qin Xi still alive?"

Chen Tang asked.

Kou Zhenshan's lips trembled, his eyes gradually turned red, and he said in a sad voice: "His Highness is dead, the general is dead, they are all dead! The 70,000-80,000-strong Wu Dynasty army was killed by Tie Falie until only these people are left."

Chen Tang sighed softly.

Back then on Wujiang Mountain, Emperor Wu had advised Qin Xi and a group of former members of the Wu Dynasty not to think about restoring the country.

Otherwise, it will only bring disaster.

It’s a pity that neither Qifu Qin nor Qin Xi could control their ambitions and were eventually destroyed by Tiefalie.

However, on Wujiang Mountain, the group of former members of the Wu Dynasty who followed Chen Tang's instructions and went to Donglaizhou survived and escaped the disaster.

"I have killed Tiefalie."

Chen Tang asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

Kou Zhenshan and other former members of the Wu Dynasty looked bewildered.

They were almost tortured into cripples. Emperor Wu died, and His Highness also died. The world was so big, where else could they go?

Moreover, after this disaster, everyone had long given up the idea of ​​competing for world domination and only wanted to live the rest of their lives in peace and stability.

Li Yan, who was following behind Chen Tang, hesitated for a moment and said, "I am Li Yan, the governor of Liangzhou. If you don't mind, you can follow me to Liangzhou. I will arrange your food and accommodation."

These former members of the Wu Dynasty were covered in wounds and weak, so they were not suitable for long journeys.

Liangzhou borders Xiazhou, so if we could settle down in Liangzhou, that would be a good idea.

Many former members of the Wu Dynasty looked at Kou Zhenshan, waiting for him to come up with a decision.

Among the remaining people, he is the only one with the highest prestige.

Kou Zhenshan did not agree immediately. He looked at Chen Tang first, and when he saw that he did not make a decision, he asked, "It's been a long time since I last heard of Lord Li. If you go to Liangzhou, what do you need us to do?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Most of you are old, so you should settle down in Liangzhou first, recover from your injuries, and then find a way to make a living in Liangzhou."

"Of course, if you are willing, you can also help lead the group of new soldiers from Liangzhou City in the military camp."

Kou Zhenshan thought about it.

This request is not excessive.

Kou Zhenshan clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Li from now on."

Chen Tang smiled but said nothing.

He could more or less guess what Li Yan was thinking.

These former members of the Wu Dynasty had fought on the battlefield for many years and were very experienced. They were soldiers led by Emperor Wu.

Whether it is the Huben Army or the Longxiang Cavalry, incorporating Emperor Wu's previous training methods into the military camp will bring a significant improvement to the combat effectiveness of Liangzhou City.

What's more, there are Dragon and Tiger Guards like Kou Zhenshan.

There is nothing wrong with having such thoughts.

Taking in these former members of the Wu Dynasty already carries certain risks.

"Brother Chen, come with us to Liangzhou and stay for a while."

Everyone left the Heavenly Prison and returned to the Imperial Palace, where Li Shuhu took the initiative to invite them.

Li Yan also nodded and said, "Yes, we didn't bring many people with us on this trip. If we bring these former Wu Dynasty members back to Liangzhou, we are worried that something unexpected will happen on the way." "After all, if Lord Xia dies, the Great Xia Kingdom will definitely fall into chaos."

Chen Tang pondered in silence.

What Li Yan described is indeed possible.

Li Junqing said at the side: "By the way, some time ago, I heard that you died in the battle at Three Thousand Snow Ridge. Hu Leibao was anxious and ran over there to look for you. He came back more than half a year later, looking very haggard."

Chen Tang's heart moved.

In the previous life, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the thundering leopard died because it neighed and refused to eat because its owner Qin Qiong passed away.

Hu Leibao loves his master the most, so don’t let anything really go wrong.

Chen Tang nodded and agreed.

Li Junqing was very happy and said with a smile: "Hu Leibao and Wan Liyun also gave birth to a foal, it is very majestic, you can take a look at it when the time comes."

Kou Zhenshan and other former members of the Wu Dynasty first sought simple treatment from the imperial physician in the Daxia Palace.

After recuperating for a few days and waiting for their injuries to stabilize, they got on the carriages, left Xiazhou City and headed towards Liangzhou.

Within a few days, the news of the death of Xia Lord Tiefalie spread quickly throughout Xiazhou.

The territory of Xiazhou suddenly fell into chaos, with various forces fighting each other.

Chen Tang and his group passed through Xiazhou and the journey was quite peaceful without encountering any obstacles.

During this period, there were a few waves of thieves who were scouting the area. They seemed to recognize something and turned around and ran away in fear, never to be seen again.

Not long after, the group arrived in Liangzhou.

The news from Xiazhou had already spread to Liangzhou.

The brothers Li Boxiong and Li Zhongmou came early with people to greet them.

Li Yan personally settled Kou Zhenshan and other former members of the Wu Dynasty. Chen Tang followed Li Junqing to a horse farm outside Liangzhou City to see Hu Leibao.

"Hu Leibao has a fierce temper and is not used to the stables in the city."

Li Junqing said: "I bought a horse farm outside and let it live there with Wanliyun."

Chen Tang thought of Hu Leibao's temper and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Not only is he hot-tempered, he's actually very weird. He thinks about eating meat and drinking all day long."

"Yes."

Li Junqing said: "Only Hu Leibao's family lives in that horse farm. Other war horses, even Dayuan horses, cannot live with them."

The two walked towards the horse farm, chatting casually on the way.

Facing the breeze, smelling the scent of the grassland, and looking at the people around him, Li Junqing only felt that his heart was extremely peaceful at this moment. He wanted to keep walking like this, never ending.

"Roar!"

The sound of tigers and leopards coming from a distance interrupted her thoughts.

The next moment, at the end of the grassland in the distance, two tall horses were seen galloping towards this place, as fast as lightning, raising dust, and as powerful as dragons!
Hearing the roar from afar, the horses that Chen Tang and Li Junqing were riding could no longer withstand it and collapsed to the ground.

As soon as the two men jumped off their horses, the two tall and handsome horses came close to them. They were Hu Leibao and Wanliyun.

Chen Tang took a closer look.

Hu Leibao was in high spirits, tall and majestic, the horn on his head was longer, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Looking at his heartless state, there is no trace of decadence and haggardness at all.

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to be heartless.

When Hu Leibao saw Chen Tang, he couldn't help but howl and rushed towards Chen Tang, being very affectionate.

"Be careful, don't stab me to death..."

Chen Tang cursed with a smile, pushed Hu Leibao's horn aside, and stroked his mane hard.

Wan Liyun, who was standing not far away, looked very restrained and just glanced at Chen Tang.

After all, it witnessed Chen Tang hammering its previous owner to death.

It still has some resistance towards Chen Tang in its heart.

"How have the past two years been? Have you gone out to look for a little wild horse?"

Chen Tang asked with a smile.

Hu Leibao became anxious when he heard this. He stretched his neck and licked Chen Tang's face wildly, trying to block Chen Tang's mouth.

Chen Tang quickly dodged.

Hu Leibao's eyes rolled around and he glanced in the direction of Wanliyun behind him from time to time.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Tang laughed.

"Xilulu!"

At this moment, a horse neigh was heard from behind.

A pony was running towards this side, very fast and panting, and rubbed against Wanliyun.

This should be the foal born to Wanliyun.

I wonder what the offspring of the two divine horses, Hu Leibao and Wan Liyun, will look like in the future.

Chen Tang stayed in Liangzhou City for three days.

There was a piece of news coming from Nanxia.

After the split of Beiqian, many Suzaku Guards followed Lingguang to Liangzhou.

Although it is no longer called Suzaku Guard, it is still responsible for intelligence and collecting information from all over the world.

"Nanxia changes its owner!"

In Liangzhou Prefecture, Chen Tang, Li Yan and others were quite surprised to hear the news.

"What's going on over there?"

Li Yan asked.

Ling Guang said: "Earlier, Han Jingdao sent troops from Jingzhou, under the pretext of attacking the Changsheng Army, to enter Wuzhou, and took over the capital of Nanxia with thunderous means, and killed Prime Minister Xia Daozi."

"The forces in the capital of Nanxia are almost powerless to resist."

Li Yan asked: "Where are the Northern Expeditionary Army of Nanxia?"

Ling Guang said: "The Northern Expedition Army is being held back by Sun Lingxiu and Lu Xun's Changsheng Army at the seaside, and the capital is now empty."

"After hearing about the great changes in the capital, the Northern Expedition Army Commander Liu Daojian did not return to the capital to defend the emperor, but instead switched sides and chose to join Han Jingdao."

Chen Tang secretly shook his head after hearing this.

The Northern Expedition Army has been going from bad to worse since Ye Xuan.

When it came into the hands of Liu Daojian, it fell into this state.

Li Zhongmou said: "I think Liu Daojian knew he was no match for his opponent and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he surrendered without a fight. However, the Northern Expedition Army's reputation was ruined in his hands."

Chen Tang said: "If he wants to protect himself, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

After all, Liu Daojian was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.

Even if the Northern Expedition Army surrenders, it is still a force that cannot be ignored and will definitely be feared by Han Jingdao.

What's more, Han Jingdao is the high priest of Xuantian Sect.

The Northern Expedition Army and the Xuantian Sect have a blood feud. Liu Daojian wants to stay out of it, but he is too naive.

"good."

Ling Guang nodded and said, "Not long after Liu Daojian joined Han Jingdao, his military power was taken away from him. I heard that he fell into the water and died."

Everyone shook their heads.

Liu Daojian was a first-class master, how could he lose his footing and fall into the water and die?

Most likely, it was Han Jingdao who took action and killed him.

Li Yan said: "The worst thing to do is to rebel. Liu Daojian first rebelled against Wang Xiaobo, and then rebelled against Nanxia. He keeps rebelling like this, how can he be enthroned?"

Ling Guang added: "Afterwards, Han Jingdao was given the Nine Gifts, a crown with ten tassels, and he rode in a golden chariot, driven by six horses, and used the emperor's imperial ceremony when he went in and out. Not long after, he forced Emperor Xia to abdicate, established Southern Chu and proclaimed himself emperor."

Everyone looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, after the battle of Wujiang Mountain, the world was in chaos and the situation was so turbulent.

In just one year, I feel that the world has changed dramatically.

Beiqian was divided, the Nine Provinces were unsettled, and many heroes were vying for supremacy.

Tiefalie established Daxia and claimed to be the orthodox one, but was soon destroyed by Chen Tang.

The inheritance in Nanxia lasted for hundreds of years, but it has come to an end in this life!
