Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 115: Sweeping the North (Part )

tread!tread!
In late spring, the ancient Yinshan Road is still covered with snow. Lü Shang's purple lightning and frost, the horseshoes crush the ice ridges, and the lingering sound echoes in the canyon.

He was wearing goose-feather armor and a steel whip was tied to the side of the saddle, which made a dull metallic vibration as the horse rode.

Lu Shang left the camp in the morning. It was almost noon now. He was riding his horse on the ancient Yinshan Road, but the cold still penetrated his bones.

However, Lu Shang had already cultivated a body that was immune to cold and heat, so although the cold was severe, it had no effect on him.

The canyon ahead became increasingly narrow, with towering peaks and rugged rocks on both sides.

Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past. Lu Shang tightened the reins, and Zi Dian Han Shuang neighed and raised his front hooves high.

Almost at the same time, dozens of sharp arrows shot out from behind the rocks on both sides of the canyon, whistling sharply and heading straight for Lu Shang.

Lu Shang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the bamboo steel whip trembled slightly, as if to protect its master.

He slammed his legs against the horse's belly, and Zi Dian Han Shuang let out a long neigh, raising all four hooves.

The steel whip had barely been unsheathed when a fierce wind surged like a raging sea dragon. Lu Shang's cold iron whip tip swept across the rock face, sending rocks crashing down and the earth wailing.

The declaration of war rustled beside the saddle. Lu Shang looked at the smoke rising in the distance, a sneer on his face.

tread!tread!
Zi Dian Han Shuang flew all the way from the Yinshan Mountain Road to Datou's Yinshan Old Camp.

There were countless open and hidden arrows along the way, but they were crushed by Lu Shang before they could get close to him.

They fought all the way to the old camp in Yinshan. Lu Shang looked at the triple iron thorn gate in front of the old camp, and the snow on the crossbeams fell down.

Cold lights flashed between the arrow embrasures on the wall of the stronghold. The sound of hundreds of strong bows being tightened was like tearing silk, and the arrowheads were pointing directly at the lone rider.

"Old man Datou!"

The loud shouting made the flags in front of the camp flutter, and Lu Shang suddenly unsheathed the steel whip in his left hand.

The whip reflected the light of snow, and the nine-section bamboo pattern was shining with lightning. The thunder energy hanging from the tip of the whip exploded into powder in the air.

The gate flew open with a bang. Heavy armored cavalry charged out, swathed in a foul gust of wind. The first three cavalrymen formed a triangle to encircle the enemy.

The three riders were very fierce, and the sabers of the Hu people were dragged diagonally on the ground, and sparks flew as the blades rubbed against the frozen soil.

Lu Shang pressed the horse's mane with his right palm, and the purple lightning and frost front hooves flew up. The iron hooves as big as a bowl heavily crushed the top of the head of the Hu cavalry in front of him.

The steel whip broke through the air like a dragon's roar. The second rider's scimitar was still halfway raised when the whip shadow swept across his neck.

The huge head flew up with a frozen and sinister smile, and the hot blood in the cavity gushed out into mist, but when it touched Lu Shang's body three feet away, it was evaporated by the lightning.
The third rider was terrified, with purple lightning and frost puffing out white mist from his nose. He leaped faster than a galloping horse. Lu Shang punched him back, piercing through the triple iron armor and killing him on the frozen ground.

The war drums of the Yinshan old camp suddenly stopped. Lu Shang whipped the blood off and suddenly felt the muscles of the divine horse under him tense.

He looked up and saw Datou Khan's golden wolf helmet reflected in the snow under the banner of the central army.

"General Lu is truly courageous. He rode alone into the Yin Mountains. What is General Lu planning to do? Is he courting death?"

Datou Khan's voice was like a night owl, and his eyes were as red as blood under his golden wolf helmet.

Lu Shang's destruction of his old camp at Jinshan was a great humiliation for Datou. He was chased by Lu Shang to the point where he had no way out. If it weren't for the witch master's spell and the fearless guards behind him, Datou would have been killed by Lu Shang long ago.

Lu Shang held his steel whip to the ground, with lightning flickering on the tip. He caught a glimpse of a black-robed figure in the shadow of the camp, with faint phosphorescent lights in his pupils.

Then, Lu Shang flicked his steel whip, and a flash of lightning suddenly blazed from its tip, burning black furrows in the ground. He stared into the black-robed man's phosphorescent pupils, and suddenly felt his entire body stagnate, as if mired in a quagmire. Even the hairs of his purple-lightning frost mane were frosted.

"Earth Immortal?"

Lu Shang said softly.

Khalid looked at Lu Shang coldly and said calmly: "I am not a Taoist, so don't call me by the Taoist realm."

As he spoke, Khalid's black robe suddenly glowed with a faint light, and countless pale bone claws emerged from the frozen ground, grabbing at Lu Shang. Lu Shang roared, and waves of air surged around him, shattering the ice claws. His steel whip flashed with lightning, sweeping away the bone claws.

"Sure enough, there's something strange about this kid," Khalid snorted.

Lü Shang's aura was ethereal, yet not quite immortal. Its strangeness was something Khalid had never seen before. If Lü Shang hadn't come alone, Khalid wouldn't have dared to test him.

After all, the Heavenly Law's deterrent power over Earthly Immortals was unimaginably great. Lu Shang rode alone, unprotected by a large army. While Khalid's attack on Lu Shang was tainted by mortal weapons, he could minimize the backlash with caution.

boom!
The steel whip's lightning flashed across the ground, leaving a three-foot-long scorch mark. Lu Shang's pupils reflected the phosphorescent flames swirling around the black-robed figure. The dark blue flames were completely different from the Three Samadhi True Fires of the Middle-earth Daoist sects, carrying a chilling chill that could corrode bones and corrode marrow.

Lu Shang laughed and said, "I am here to deliver a declaration of war. Three days from now, the great Sui Dynasty's patron, the old prince, will personally lead the army and set up the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation on Jinshan Mountain. I sincerely invite the Khan to break the formation."

Seeing that Lü Shang had connected with his master for several moves and was not at a disadvantage, Datou Khan suddenly stood up and sneered, "Declaration of war? I don't care what declaration of war is. General Lü, since you are here, don't leave."

Before Datou could finish his words, Lu Shang heard the clanging of metal and steel. Khalid's withered claws had already emerged from beneath his black robe. Five finger bones transformed into the shadow of a dark white snake. Phosphorescent fire burst from its fangs, scorching the air and striking directly at Lu Shang's vital point in the throat!

Purple lightning and frost roared angrily, and Lu Shang's steel whip whipped back like a dragon. The dormant lightning talismans between the nine bamboo sections lit up one by one, and the whip's shadow transformed into phosphorescent fire. The moment the lightning and phosphorescent fire collided, half of the Yinshan Mountains seemed struck by a heavenly punishment, and the old camp wall collapsed three feet.

Khalid stumbled back half a step, his black robe ripped open by the lightning, revealing the bandages wrapped underneath. The yellowed linen strips were densely covered with blood-red words, and every stroke exuded a sticky black mist.

"Witchcraft?" Lu Shang pointed his steel whip at the frozen ground, lightning seeping into the earth's veins along the tip of the whip. In the moment of their exchange, he had clearly seen that what was wriggling beneath the other man's black robe wasn't flesh and blood, but countless tangled black mists and blood.

"Humph,"

Lu Shang snorted softly, and stroked his palm across the bamboo steel whip. The three-light purple text engraved on it, which represented the way of unity, triggered thunder sounds, sweeping away the evil aura around.

With the extraordinary comprehension of his mind, Lu Shang finally comprehended the great way of thunder contained in the bamboo steel whip.

"Daofa Huiyuan" states that the Jade Pure True King paid homage to the Yuanshi God and obtained the "Way of the Mixture of Three Lights and Purple Texts" and the "Secret of the Five Thunders to Control Evil and Kill Demons". He then performed the Five Thunders Dharma and established the Five Thunders Commandery.

It can be said that the "Three Lights and Purple Texts Mixed Dao" holds the greatest authority within the Five Thunder Commandery, forming the foundation of the Five Thunders Great Law. Mastering the "Three Lights and Purple Texts Mixed Dao" is equivalent to becoming the nemesis of all demons and evil spirits.

After extinguishing the evil spirit on the steel whip, Lu Shang picked up the letter of war next to the saddle, raised his hand and shook it, and the paper rustled and flew towards the central army flag where Datou was.

"Datou, see you in Jinshan in three days."

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned Datou Khan in front of him and the witch cult master in front of him.
