Chapter 242 Evil King, You Don't Want This Either
"The Holy Emperor's abilities are all-pervasive."

"Comparable to ancient immortals and Buddhas."

A calm voice rang out, calming the tense atmosphere.

"The Immortal Seal I left for Qingxuan back then, I never imagined that the Holy Emperor would develop it to an even higher level."

"The shift between life and death can directly connect with the universe, allowing the flow of yin and yang, and ensuring the continuous flow of life. It can even rapidly restore one's own vital energy and injuries. It is far superior to my Seven Illusions of Immortality."

Shi Zhixuan appeared, spotless, with a harmonious aura and a peaceful expression.

Wang Gan was also somewhat surprised.
"It seems Zhu Yuyan couldn't do anything to you, Evil King."

After breaking through to the eighteenth level, Zhu Yuyan's strength was enough to contend with a Grandmaster, and she would not be defeated for at least a short time. The fact that Shi Zhixuan was able to escape unscathed shows that the power Shi Zhixuan obtained from the He Shi Bi was far more than that of the Evil Emperor's Relic in the original work.

"Yu Yan has made great progress. If I were before I obtained the He Shi Bi, I probably wouldn't be a match for her."

Shi Zhixuan said calmly,

Through the power of the He Shi Bi jade, he not only completely resolved his mental problems, but his physical constitution was also cleansed and transformed, making him even stronger than in the original story.

After all, in the original work, Shi Zhixuan obtained the Evil Emperor's Relic. Although he suppressed his mental problems and made further progress in his cultivation, judging from his actions, there were still faint traces of the split personality remaining.

That's why Shi Zhixuan eventually turned to Buddhism after the reconciliation, because his cultivation was based on the profound Buddhist principle of "not on this shore, not on the other shore, not in between".

Only the Buddhist path can resolve his mental schizophrenia and the conflict between his martial arts and spirituality.

"So, after obtaining the He Shi Bi jade, you, Evil King, are confident enough to fight me?"

Wang Gan's lips curled up, his massive figure exuding an immense pressure.

"No."

Shi Zhixuan shook his head decisively.

"My Seven Illusions of Immortality are strong, but they cannot compare to the Holy Emperor's power to connect heaven and earth. The Holy Emperor also possesses an exceptionally strong, physically robust body. If it comes down to a fight to the death between us..."

"Perhaps we can fight for several days and nights, and then be killed by the Holy Emperor."

Wang Gan became interested.

"So you lack confidence, yet you still want to fight me? Because of the bonds of friendship within Buddhism?"

Shi Zhixuan shook his head.
"The Buddhist sect asked me to help once, which is already a way of repaying their favor. Moreover, if I were alive, as a virtuous and holy monk, I could still preserve some seeds for the Buddhist sect, which would be my way of doing my duty to the Buddhist sect."

Sure enough, after Shi Zhixuan recovered, he returned to normal.

"Moreover, the unification by the Holy Emperor is not a bad thing. It is also my wish that the Han people are in power, that the country is well-governed and the world is at peace."

"There is no reason for me to be enemies with the Holy Emperor."

"The last time I made a move, it was because I saw the Holy Emperor talking intimately with Qingxuan and I lost my mind, so I couldn't help but take action."

Shi Zhixuan sighed.

"Stand at attention when you're about to be hit, good attitude."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a half-smile.

"But that doesn't mean we can just let it go."

Shi Zhixuan had anticipated this; this guy was the type who wouldn't suffer even the slightest loss.

"But please give your orders, Holy Emperor." Wang Gan sighed.

"Since the Evil King is so kind, I won't say much more. Just do a thousand or eight hundred things for me."

Shi Zhixuan's lips twitched, and he was just about to speak...
"Evil King, you wouldn't want both of your children to be developed by me, would you?"

But Wang Gan's expression was neither a smile nor a frown.

Shi Zhixuan was speechless for a moment. He naturally knew what Wang Gan meant by the two children. One child was his Immortal Seal Technique, and the other was Shi Qingxuan.

"I implore the Holy Emperor to treat Qingxuan kindly."

Shi Zhixuan became much more carefree after entering the Buddhist order, but he still couldn't let go of his daughter.

Tap tap tap tap
Suddenly, a dense, orderly sound of horses' hooves approached, and a long black dragon appeared on the streets of Luoyang.

"It seems the Evil King's first matter has arrived."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

Shi Zhixuan sighed softly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into a barely visible afterimage.

The black dragons opposite were all clad in sturdy armor, brimming with vitality, and rode tall horses. Their faces were filled with terrifying killing intent, and there were thousands of them!
The leader was none other than Li Shimin of the Li family!
Li Shimin was clad in black armor, looking like an iron barrel, his expression resolute.

These thousands of heavy cavalry were the last trump card of the Li clan. Even though he knew that Wang Gan's cultivation was extraordinary and that he could even defeat the Five Great Monks, at this point, the struggle between the two sides' lineages was a matter of life or death, and Li Shimin had no way out.

Seeing the devastation on the battlefield from afar, with countless buildings collapsed, Li Shimin felt a chill in his heart. Could this really be the destructive power of human combat?!

On the battlefield, a composed figure stood out.

Without much hesitation, Li Shimin waved his hand.
"bow!"

At a command, the soldiers moved in unison, took down the iron-framed bows, and strung them to their full length on horseback.

"put!!!"

With another roar, a galloping horse, like a dragon, unleashed a curtain of steel rain, sweeping across the calm, standing figure opposite.

Facing a hail of arrows, the figure opposite them drifted in, instantly multiplying into countless phantoms. Under the barrage of arrows, all of them passed through these phantoms!

The real figure moved calmly through the rain of arrows, rapidly approaching the army.

Li Shimin's expression changed. This evasive style was completely unlike Wang Gan's; it seemed more like another terrifying figure.
Evil king!

Shi Zhixuan's expression was calm, but his figure was like a gentle breeze, ignoring all the arrows around him and arriving in front of him in an instant.

"kill!"

Li Shimin's expression changed slightly. He knew that the evil king had already betrayed him, but now the arrow was on the bowstring and he had no choice but to draw his long sword and shout coldly!
At his command, the long black dragon behind him suddenly moved!
The earth shook violently, thunder roared, and dust billowed into the sky. Within the dust, a black dragon could be vaguely seen galloping towards them, carrying immense power!

In a normal historical world, these three thousand elite heavy armored soldiers, personally led by Li Shimin, would likely have had the powerful momentum to crush everything in the era of cold weapons.

Unfortunately, this is the extraordinary Tang Dynasty world, with incredible martial arts and power!

One against ten thousand is no longer a myth. Wang Gan could do it back then, and Shi Zhixuan in his current perfect form can do it too!
Shi Zhixuan also charged to the front of the army formation. Unlike Wang Gan, he did not have the brute force to confront the heavy cavalry formation head-on. Instead, he twisted his body at an incredible angle and speed, turning suddenly and calmly avoiding the force of the cavalry charge!
call out!
Shi Zhixuan moved with the grace of a phantom demon, effortlessly gliding through the air. With a single, gentle touch, a cavalryman in the first rank instantly turned deathly still and vanished into thin air.

It cannot be denied that in this world, apart from Wang Gan, only the Evil King, with his Undying Seal Technique's ability to recover energy and his Illusionary Demon Body Technique's speed, can maintain a considerable advantage over the military formation.

Needless to say, the Evil King who absorbed the power of the He Shi Bi is the strongest Evil King in the current version!
