All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 209 Paying Back with the Lower Half

When did the Evil King Shi Zhixuan set his sights on Wang Gan?

It was probably after Wang Gan met Shi Qingxuan that Wang Gan, with a premonition and a keen intuition, vaguely sensed and guessed the identity of the visitor.

As for how Shi Zhixuan planned to deal with him...

Perhaps, as Shi Feixuan said, there is no emperor who reigns for three hundred years. Shi Zhixuan is upright and also has a heart to serve his country, and he does not want someone like Wang Gan to seize the world.

In the original novel, Shi Zhixuan, disguised as Pei Ju, used diplomatic means to split the Turks in two, thus eliminating a major threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

Or perhaps it was because of Shi Qingxuan, but these past few days Shi Qingxuan has unusually stayed in Dongping County, where she often recites poems with Wang Gan, and she has an unprecedented appreciation for Wang Gan's martial arts skills and talent.

Shi Zhixuan's murderous intent may have stemmed from his father's jealousy.

It could also be because of Yang Gong's treasure trove
But Wang Gan didn't think about these things.
Damn it, what business is it of his if a lunatic thinks that way?!
Has he gone insane?!

However, it must be said that Shi Zhixuan, as the successor of the Heaven-Mending lineage and the world's number one assassin, possesses an astonishing level of patience and ability to conceal his aura.

Over the course of several days, Wang Gan tried to lure Shi Zhixuan into a trap by deliberately revealing some flaws, but Shi Zhixuan was still able to restrain himself.

Finally, at the moment when Wang Gan and Shi Feixuan clashed, Shi Zhixuan finally sensed an opportunity!
The chance to truly seriously injure or even kill Wang Gan!

With a single palm strike, his timing and power were unparalleled. One part of his palm strike possessed an extremely subtle and gentle force, soft and yielding like a gentle spring breeze and fine rain, yet it also carried a strange pulling force, like a giant black hole.

But behind the palm strike lies another force, one that is incomparably masculine, like the blazing sun, ready to destroy all things in heaven and earth with its intense heat.

Such a bizarre transformation of energy could only be accomplished by Shi Zhixuan, who had mastered the Undying Seal Technique, which combined the two extremes of life and death!
In the life-or-death struggle, Shi Zhixuan even 'stole' some of the energy from Wang Gan's fight with Shi Feixuan, and transformed it into his own power using the Undying Seal Technique.

This attack has already surpassed his own cultivation level. Even if a grandmaster were to face it, he would probably be seriously injured on the spot!

boom!
The palm struck Wang Gan's side, creating a shockwave in the air, but the instant it touched his skin, it vanished without a trace, turning into nothingness!
Shi Zhixuan's expression changed drastically. He felt as if he had struck an ancient mountain with his palm. No matter how much he exerted his strength, the other side did not move at all!
He knew that Wang Gan's physical body was already indestructible through rigorous physical training, and at its most powerful...

But he didn't expect that Wang Gan's golden body had been trained to the point of being flawless and complete. Even when he wasn't using his strength or energy, he could still be a perfect whole, without any flaws or defects!

Wang Gan looked at the Evil King opposite him with a half-smile.

"What are you messing with, Joker?"

hiss!
The next second, Shi Zhixuan's expression changed drastically, and an invisible warning almost burst out of his mind!
I will definitely die! I will die easily!
Almost instinctively, Shi Zhixuan moved, about to activate the ultimate movement technique of the Undying Seal, and was about to escape into the void once again.

But Shi Zhixuan was fast, and Wang Gan was even faster!

There wasn't even a process of channeling internal energy; instead, a straightforward, unadorned palm strike landed on him.

But the resulting shockwave was overwhelming!

boom!
Sonic booms echoed, and absolute power brought absolute speed. In an instant, the force of a single palm transformed into a dragon-elephant that devoured heaven and earth, roaring in the void. It could even shatter a small mountain!
Faced with the terrifying power, Shi Zhixuan subconsciously activated the Undying Seal Technique to convert the life and death energy and eliminate the opponent's power.

But this time Shi Zhixuan miscalculated. Wang Gan knew about Shi Zhixuan's Undying Seal Technique ability, so he didn't even use any true energy, but instead used pure physical strength!

The Undying Seal Technique, which is said to be endless and invincible in group battles, also requires transforming the opponent's true energy into yin and yang. Shi Zhixuan felt a chill in his heart and realized that the opponent's true energy was empty and hollow, replaced by the overwhelming power of the physical body of the dragon and elephant!

call out!
In the face of life and death, Shi Zhixuan truly lived up to his reputation as the world's number one in movement techniques. His speed and quickness of reaction left only a blur in his wake!
Even so, it was too late. Wang Gan's energy grazed his right side from a distance, slicing off a large piece of flesh and exposing his white bones and internal organs.

Shi Zhixuan's face grew paler and paler, but his speed did not slow down at all, and even became several times faster. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the void and moved dozens of feet away.

"Ah"

Wang Gan sneered. At his peak, Shi Zhixuan was undoubtedly the best in the world in terms of movement techniques; even Grandmasters couldn't defeat him. Wang Gan wasn't entirely confident he could catch up to Shi Zhixuan.
But if even the heavily injured Shi Zhixuan can't catch up, he'll just eat him!
It also transformed into a white shadow and swept across the river, closely following Shi Zhixuan's bloody trail!
Both possessed unparalleled agility in this world; from a distance, they appeared like two streaks of light, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

In a short while, the scenery changed, from the river surface to an unknown mountain forest.
"I had originally planned to propose to Qingxuan, but I never expected the Evil King to refuse."

"If only I had known this would happen."

Wang Gan sighed softly; despite being in the midst of a rapid pursuit, he still had the strength to speak.
Clearly, he planned to keep Shi Zhixuan at a distance, waiting for his injuries to become too severe and his speed to decrease, at which point he would naturally be unable to escape.

"I can just elope with Shi Qingxuan; there's no need for the Evil King to lift a finger."

Wang Gan's voice was all-pervasive, reaching Shi Zhixuan's ears and causing a stir.

"I originally admired the Evil King's abilities quite a bit. Whether it was dividing the Turks or launching a long-term attack on Goguryeo, only someone with great talent could accomplish such a feat!"

"I simply can't understand why the Evil King would want to be my enemy."

Wang Gan wasn't lying. Shi Zhixuan's talent was indeed extremely high. Not only could his martial arts combine the paths of Buddhism and Demonism to create the Undying Seal Technique, but his methods and scheming were also top-notch. He used diplomatic means to divide the Turks, a skill that was truly comparable to Han Xin and Zhuge Liang.

Wang Gan had considered trying to win over this highly talented genius, but he didn't expect that this evil king was still mentally unstable and, for some reason, insisted on assassinating him.

However, Wang Gan was not surprised, because Shi Zhixuan's mental state had been abnormal ever since Bi Xiuxin's death, and he often suffered from a split personality due to the conflict between his left and right hemispheres.

After dividing the Turks, Shi Zhixuan cunningly felt that the Sui Dynasty was too powerful, so he persuaded Yang Guang to launch three campaigns against Goguryeo, which ultimately weakened the Sui Dynasty.

At least in this world, Shi Zhixuan certainly deserves a significant share of credit for the fall of the Sui Dynasty.

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile, and his lightness and speed suddenly increased even more.
Because the evil king opposite him had gradually slowed down, Wang Gan's words ultimately shook his already unstable mental state.

More importantly, mentioning Shi Qingxuan undoubtedly touches a raw nerve with Shi Zhixuan!

Woo.
Suddenly, a light and melancholic sound of a flute drifted over from afar, subtly and quietly easing the tense atmosphere of the chase!
Wang Gan's internal energy circulation faltered, and his speed suddenly slowed down for a moment.

Wang Gan frowned, snorted coldly, and his Daoist voice broke through the sound of the flute, as he was about to continue his pursuit of Shi Zhixuan.

But then a beautiful figure appeared before Wang Gan, her demeanor elegant and refined.

Wang Gan had only interacted with Shi Qingxuan from a distance these past few days; this was the first time he had seen her face in person.
Indeed, she possessed a slender and graceful figure, with delicate features reminiscent of osmanthus and orchid. Her temperament was like a vibrant bamboo forest in early spring, full of life, and she was no less beautiful than Shi Feixuan.

"Qingxuan, your actions have truly put me in a difficult position."

Wang Gan sighed, and Shi Qingxuan also spoke slowly, her expression complex.

"Although I don't want to see Shi Zhixuan, no matter what, he is my father and has secretly protected me for many years. I can't just watch him die."

"Your Majesty, please be lenient and consider it an obligation I owe you."

Wang Gan said calmly.
"Qingxuan, do you know that my favors are not so easy to repay?"

“Generally speaking, my kindness will have to be passed down from generation to generation, and many people will never be able to repay it in their lifetime.”

Shi Qingxuan gave a graceful bow. She had naturally been prepared to come and intercept Wang Gan.

"I have already repaid the evil king's kindness in giving me life and raising me in the first half of my life, and I will naturally use the second half of my life to repay the holy emperor's kindness."

Wang Gan sighed.

"The rest of your life? I'd rather you repay me with your lower body."

Shi Qingxuan's beautiful cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes involuntarily wandered.

"But now that you've made up your mind, have you thought it through?"

"You have to repay my kindness, and you also have to do the thing I mentioned before."

Upon hearing about that matter, Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh deeply, somewhat reluctantly.

"Whatever the Holy Emperor desires, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Wang Gan nodded, without any hesitation.
Shi Zhixuan suffered a third of the force of his palm strike and was seriously injured. Whether he could survive was uncertain. Even if he did survive, he would be a second Lu Miaozi and would most likely be no threat.

Shi Qingxuan did indeed have additional uses for him, beyond just his lower body.

A moment later, Wang Gan returned to the Dongping shore, and Shi Feixuan also left early, together with the Li family.

"interesting.."

Wang Gan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of interest.

He experienced multiple worlds and traversed countless heavens, and early on he realized that each world had its own 'trajectory,' which is what is known as destiny.

He also relied on changing his fate so that the system could collect 'fate points' from him to strengthen himself.

However, unlike the 'fate' of the low-level martial arts world, the fate of Lu Xiaofeng and Little Li Flying Dagger in the low-level martial arts world is more about going with the flow and can be changed with just a little guidance from Wang Gan.

However, in the Tang Dynasty world, Wang Gan could vaguely sense that the resistance of the Tang Dynasty's 'fate' was much greater than that of other worlds.

"It's not surprising. After all, the upper limit of this world is extremely high, capable of breaking through the void. The so-called Heavenly Dao is not truly illusory."

"Otherwise, how could those women from Cihang Jingzhai be so accurate in finding wise rulers throughout the ages, thereby obtaining resources and breaking through their cultivation levels?"

Wang Gan could sense it.
He encountered Li Shimin by chance this time and wanted to kill him beforehand, but he was repeatedly thwarted.

First, it was Shi Feixuan's breakthrough, then Shi Zhixuan's unexpected interference, and even Shi Qingxuan's intrusion. These coincidences combined to allow Li Shimin to eliminate the enormous gap in martial prowess between them.

"If I continue the pursuit, won't it be grandmaster-level experts who come to stop me?"

"I just hope no meteorites fall from the sky."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Wang Gan's lips.
He was not worried about the so-called destiny. In his view, the 'destiny' was like a fish, some small and some big. The 'fish' in the Tang Dynasty world was undoubtedly the slightly stronger and more powerful one.

But as long as you are strong enough, you can crush them all, and even the biggest fish can be dragged up to be killed and eaten!
Wang Gan's martial arts skills may be slightly stronger than those of a Grandmaster, but they are not enough to overwhelm him. If he continues to pursue and kill Li Shimin, he may not be able to succeed and will only waste his efforts.

Moreover, Wang Gan already had a separate plan in mind to deal with Li Shimin, the emperor of all time.

Since Wang Gan single-handedly defeated ten thousand, slaughtering the Jianghuai army, then defeated the contemporary Cihang successor Shi Feixuan, and then defeated the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan.

The name of the Holy Emperor stirred up a huge wave in the chaotic world. No one dared to underestimate this Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect, knowing that he was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a match for ten thousand men on the battlefield, comparable to a terrestrial immortal or Buddha!
Wang Gan has become a strong contender for the throne!
Meanwhile, among the crowd, various legendary stories of "the Holy Emperor descending to earth" and "the Holy Emperor slaying the white snake" gradually became popular, passed down by word of mouth among many martial arts practitioners and ordinary people.

Some people have even secretly set up statues of the 'Holy Emperor' in their home temples, which are said to have the effects of warding off evil spirits, protecting the fetus, and enhancing male virility!
On the ship of Dongming,

Inside the luxurious cabin of the ship, Wang Gan ground his brush and began to write, his talent fully revealed.
Another beautiful and slender figure served beside her. The woman was equally stunning and possessed an extraordinary air, but she was respectful and was holding a chamber pot in her hands!

"Holy Emperor..."

"Your 'Biography of the Holy Emperor' has already been disseminated through our Giant Kun Gang's channels..."

Yun Yuzhen's expression was respectful, a stark contrast to her attitude when they first met.

When Yun Yuzhen first met Wang Gan, she was mostly polite, but now...
Having witnessed firsthand Wang Gan's immense power, capable of defeating ten thousand men, Yun Yuzhen had long since submitted to him, and along with the Giant Kun Gang, she joined Wang Gan's ranks!
"Now, Your Majesty's fame and reputation are everywhere. Many common people and martial arts masters have already come to join you without asking!"

Yun Yuzhen spoke respectfully, her tone tinged with excitement.

"Hmm, not bad, but it's not time for training yet. When are you ever going to stop training your troops?"

"Once I truly win over the Song clan, I can leverage their power and resources to build my own empire."

"That will be the time when my Holy Emperor's might truly shines."

Wang Gan spoke calmly.

This chaotic world has lasted too long, and the people desperately need something to rely on, even if it's just spiritual support. That's why monsters emerge in chaotic times, like the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Cult, not to mention Wang Gan, a true terrestrial immortal who can manifest himself in front of people.

The interplay of truth and falsehood is enough to gain him immense prestige among the people. When the time comes, he can raise his arms and unify the world in an instant!
"However, according to intelligence within the gang, after their escape last time, the Li clan has intensified their recruitment efforts to expand their power, and there are also many Buddhist and Taoist figures behind them!"

Yun Yuzhen changed the subject, sounding somewhat worried.
