Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"You think you can outmaneuver me like this? This is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, haven't you heard? Here, I am invincible."

As Li Zheng spoke, the entire capital city seemed to tremble slightly.

A terrifying power swept out, seemingly about to take down the old demon in an instant.

"Hehehe, hehehehe!!"

Li Yuanpeng's body swelled rapidly, and it looked like it was about to burst like a fully inflated balloon.

"I forgot to tell you, this is your own son's body. Are you sure you want to ruin him?"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Demon Elder, Li Zheng paused.

Just as he hesitated, a black figure swiftly swept across the sky above the palace.

Immediately afterwards, the figure disappeared into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

This person looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

It looks very awkward.

"Possessed by a demon, break free!"

The moment the Heavenly Demon Elder released the Heavenly Demon Possession, Li Yuanpeng was blasted away by Li Zheng.

"puff!"

His internal organs suffered devastating damage, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he died on the spot.

"Third brother!"

Seeing his own son die in front of him, even though Li Zheng knew he absolutely could not be distracted at this moment.

His attention was still being diverted.

The Heavenly Demon Elder became increasingly excited, and in the instant Li Zheng was distracted, he appeared closely behind Li Zheng.

With a single palm strike, he struck Li Zheng in the back of the heart.

"Heavenly Demonic Art, activate!"

This time was different from the previous one. This time, Li Zheng felt as if the hand behind him was stuck to his body.

He couldn't shake them off.

"As expected of the blood and qi of a supreme being, it's incredibly nourishing! A truly powerful tonic!!"

The aura emanating from the Heavenly Demon Elder broke through from the half-step Supreme Realm to the Supreme Realm almost instantly.

That wasn't all; as he absorbed more and more power, his aura grew increasingly terrifying.

Li Zheng remained expressionless, allowing the other party to absorb the information.

Not only that, he also concentrated the city's resources, preparing to burst the Heavenly Demon Elder in one fell swoop.

The other party actually dared to plot against Li Zheng's son. Even if the other party was an old demon who had lived for hundreds of years, even if the other party was a supreme realm expert.

Li Zheng will absolutely not allow him to leave today.

When the Heavenly Demon Elder could no longer absorb anything, Li Zheng planned to give him a great gift.

Even if they are both supreme beings.

Even the Heavenly Demon Elder didn't know what the Emperor of Great Zhou truly meant, or what it meant to be able to mobilize the entire capital's power.

As long as it is within the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Emperor can unleash his supreme peak combat power.

Moreover, his power is connected to the earth's veins throughout Kyoto, making it virtually inexhaustible.

The Heavenly Demon Elder believed that he could absorb a lot of true energy.

But in his eyes, Emperor Li Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty was like an endless ocean.

No matter how hard he tried to suck, he couldn't get it all out.

"What... what's going on?"

The old man of the Heavenly Demon soon realized that he was about to run out of energy.

"Now!"

Li Zheng also noticed this. He silently circulated the power within his body and simultaneously activated the earth veins of the entire capital city.

The moment the Heavenly Demon Elder let go, he was about to completely burst the old demon apart.

Just as the Heavenly Demon Elder was about to give up, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out: "Where did this vermin crawl out from, daring to cause trouble in the imperial palace?"

The voice was accompanied by a stunningly beautiful young woman.

The woman held a sword in her right hand and a red ribbon in her left, looking like a fairy from heaven.

As soon as she appeared, she slashed at the Heavenly Demon Elder with her sword.

The Heavenly Demon Elder instantly let go and retreated backward in defeat.

The woman successfully rescued Li Zheng and floated directly in front of him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this greeting, Li Zheng felt as if he almost spat out a mouthful of blood from his chest.

"Ancestor Qi!!"

He was just a hair's breadth away from bursting the Heavenly Demon Elder.

Now, things have taken a turn for the worse. Not only did he fail to kill his opponent, but the old man has actually benefited from the misfortune.

The Heavenly Demon Elder instantly regained his original strength.

If it weren't for Li Zheng's help, who knows how much blood and energy the Heavenly Demon Elder would have needed to absorb to fully recover?

"What's wrong?"

The pretty woman blinked, looking puzzled.

Li Zheng suddenly felt exhausted. He didn't know what he should say to the woman so that she would understand.

They had just missed their chance to kill the monster in front of them.

After much restraint, Li Zheng finally regained his voice. "We can't let that old devil leave; he just killed Peng'er."

Upon hearing this, the old demon in the distance immediately let out a sinister laugh.

"Wasn't it you who personally killed the Third Prince? Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou."

"If it weren't for you, why would I have personally killed Peng'er? You deserve to die!"

Li Zheng did not engage in internal strife.

He felt sorry for him, but at this point he had already figured out the key to the problem.

The key to the problem lies not with him, but with the old demon in front of him.

He wanted to avenge his son, so he went to find the other party.

"Peng'er is dead? He was such a good boy. I even held him when he was little."

The young woman looked sad.

"Qi Yu Fan!"

Li Zheng roared angrily.

"I know, I know. Why is it that every emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has such a bad temper? Can't you have a gentler one? I'm telling you, your sixth son is really no good, just like all the emperors in your past dynasties. The eldest son is not bad, much gentler than the sixth son."

"Shut up, kill this old devil first."

Li Zheng gave the order angrily.

After being repeatedly reprimanded, Qi Yufan realized she had gone too far, and she shrugged.

Then he charged straight at the Heavenly Demon Elder.

The red ribbon in her hand grew longer in the wind and soon covered most of the palace.

Upon witnessing this scene, the old demon's eyes flashed with deep apprehension.

"The little girl from back then has actually developed such terrifying cultivation?"

The area covered by the red ribbon clearly marked Qi Yufan's territory.

Within this area, the Heavenly Demon Elder felt that his abilities were greatly limited.

That wasn't all, Li Zheng stomped his foot.

The entire palace suddenly seemed to have become a forbidden area, a forbidden area specifically for the Heavenly Demon Elder.

He couldn't even unleash 60% of his full potential.

"Emperor of Great Zhou, it's recovered already?"

The Heavenly Demon Elder had just launched two sneak attacks; even a Supreme Being's strength would inevitably be greatly diminished after that.

Li Zheng, however, seemed completely unaffected.

This made the Heavenly Demon Elder extremely wary.

"If you don't come out now, I will truly die here. Without my help, the two of you alone..."

Despite regaining his former strength, the Heavenly Demon Elder, who was under double suppression, still felt that his life was under great threat.

He had no choice but to speak.

"I will not let you stand alone."

"The Dark Lord has arrived!"
