At 100 years old, he joined the army in place of his granddaughter, and became a national war god.

Crown Prince Xiao Yunfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, his face blank as he stared at his father, whom he had known for decades, at the vast and powerful martial aura that no ordinary person could possess. He murmured to himself in disbelief.

"How could this be... that Father is actually a martial arts master?"

"From childhood to adulthood, I have accompanied Your Majesty every day and had audiences with you morning and evening, yet I never knew that Your Majesty practiced martial arts!"

"Could it be that Father has been secretly practicing martial arts for decades, deliberately hiding it from everyone?"

A sliver of hope remained in his heart; he refused to believe this absurd truth that overturned everything, and refused to accept that his father, the emperor in the Dragon Court, was a fake.

But the Second Prince Xiao Yunshan beside him had already seen through everything. All the surprise and doubt in his eyes had faded, leaving only a chilling coldness and solemnity.

He turned to look at his elder brother, the Crown Prince, who was still deceiving himself, and let out a cold snort, each word piercing through the illusion and resounding in his ears.

"Brother, now that things have come to this, are you still going to deceive yourself and keep your own thoughts hidden?"

"My real father didn't even have the basic foundation for ordinary martial arts training, and he was forever barred from martial arts. How could he possibly cultivate such a powerful and domineering supreme true energy!"

"Ever since my father inexplicably closed the court and broke his promise not to welcome the victorious army a few days ago, I have been suspicious. I feel that my father's temperament and demeanor have completely changed. He is now paranoid, suspicious, cold-hearted, and ruthless, unlike anything I've ever seen before!"

"It turns out that from beginning to end, the one sitting on the dragon throne and ruling the Great Qian Dynasty was not the real Emperor; this person was an imposter!"

These words shattered the last illusions in Crown Prince Xiao Yunfeng's heart!

Xiao Yunfeng froze, his face turning deathly pale. He staggered back half a step, his eyes filled with terror, horror, and disbelief.

The Emperor is a fake!

This single sentence plunged the entire Golden Palace into utter silence, followed by a deafening uproar!

The officials, both civil and military, looked at each other in disbelief. Everyone was trembling and their scalps tingled with fear. Countless questions instantly filled their minds and surged endlessly!

Where is the real emperor?

Was he imprisoned or held captive by thieves, or had he already been brutally murdered?

Who exactly is this thief, possessing extraordinary abilities to disguise himself, deceive the heavens, impersonate the emperor, occupy the imperial court for many days, fool the court and the people, and deceive the world?

Li Fuquan, the personal eunuch, secretly possesses martial arts skills and conspires with him. Just how many treacherous officials and spies are still lurking in the court?

One shocking secret after another, layer upon layer, overturned everyone's understanding!

In just a few days, the Great Qian court has been infiltrated and overthrown by traitors, and the undercurrents have reached such a terrifying level!

Before the palace, Han You, the commander of the Imperial Guards, experienced a sudden change in his mind. He instantly recognized the situation and shouted out in a fierce voice!

"All Imperial Guards, listen to my command! Immediately seal off all entrances and exits to the Golden Palace, surrounding it layer by layer, leaving no room for retreat!"

"Hold the main hall under strict guard and seal it off. We must not allow this traitor who impersonates the emperor and wreaks havoc on the court to escape."

With each military order given, hundreds of Imperial Guards sprang into action!

The imperial guards quickly surrounded the palace, sealing off the gates, blocking the corridors, and guarding all escape routes from the high platform, making the entire Golden Palace completely impassable!

On the high platform, the dragon throne was shattered and scattered all over the ground, with fragments flying everywhere.

Once his true identity was completely exposed, the fake emperor lost all semblance of imperial dignity, composure, and self-restraint.

He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter arrogant and mad, filled with unbridled arrogance and conceit, echoing loudly in the empty and solemn Golden Palace, extremely jarring!

"Hahaha! What a magnificent war god, Su Mu, who protects the nation!"

"Everyone says you are over a hundred years old and very old, but I never imagined that your old eyes could be so sharp!"

"My disguise was flawless, fooling even the royal family and the entire court. I lay low in court for days, and just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, you saw right through me and exposed me completely! I truly have to admire you!"

Admit it openly!

Confess in public!

At this moment, there is no more pretense or concealment, and the heinous crime of impersonating the emperor and seizing the dragon court is laid bare!

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were once again shaken to their core, and a chill ran down their spines!

Su Mu stood below the platform, his white hair fluttering slightly in the wind, his eyes as cold as frost, his whole body exuding a chilling aura, and he responded with a cold, mocking voice.

"You dare to show off your meager, unorthodox tricks before an old man like me?"

"You can disguise your appearance, imitate your speech and behavior, and impersonate an emperor, but you can't fake your inner energy, nor can you fake your overall aura!"

"Who exactly are you, this treacherous and rebellious member of the Communist Party?"

"How dare you be so audacious as to disguise yourself, impersonate the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, and wreak havoc on our Great Qian Dynasty!"

Where is the real Emperor now?

Faced with Su Mu's stern questioning, the fake emperor's smile grew even more arrogant, his eyes filled with sinister mockery, completely unafraid of the imperial guards and civil and military officials surrounding him.

"Su Mu, even if you possess unparalleled martial arts skills and extraordinary wisdom, you will never guess my origins!"

"You'll never find out the truth, and you'll never save that useless emperor Xiao Jinghuan!"

"The outcome is already decided. Even if you expose everything, it's too late to change anything!"

"The true Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty has already fallen into our hands; he will never again have the chance to ascend the throne and rule the country!"

"You insolent scoundrel!" Han You, standing to the side, roared angrily, his hair standing on end, his murderous aura surging.

"You audacious traitor! How dare you hold the Emperor hostage and desecrate imperial authority!"

"If you don't reveal His Majesty's whereabouts and confess all the details of your conspiracy today, I will tear you to pieces, grind your bones to dust, and ensure you die without a burial place!"

"Hahaha! You think you can beat me?" The fake emperor sneered, his eyes full of contempt and disdain as he looked down on the entire audience.

"What can a bunch of mediocre people, frogs in a well, do to me, even if they outnumber me and surround me layer by layer?"

"Trying to kill me? That's wishful thinking!"

His extremely arrogant words completely enraged everyone present!

Su Mu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the Dragon Court!

"That arrogant scoundrel deserves to die!"

"With this old man here today, you can't escape even if you grow wings!"

Before the words were even finished!

Su Mu's figure suddenly soared into the air!

With his unparalleled lightness skill, the Cloud Ladder Leap, his figure as swift as the wind, traversed the air, carrying an overwhelming and bone-chilling killing intent, and once again charged towards the fake emperor!

This time, there was no longer a hint of probing or holding back in his eyes!

With murderous intent, they vowed to suppress the traitors and uncover the truth!

"Stop being so insolent!"

Seeing this, Li Fuquan, who was just recovering from serious injuries, gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain in his body, and rushed over to block him!

He knew his lord's secrets; if his lord fell, everyone present would surely die!

Even if he is no match for him, he must fight to the death to block Su Mu's attack!

"You old fool! If you want to harm my lord, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Looking down at Li Fuquan, who was desperately blocking his way, Su Mu looked down from the air, his eyes full of indifferent mockery, his voice icy and piercing.

Su Mu slapped out hard.

boom!

With this palm strike, Su Mu no longer held back, directly unleashing eighty percent of his martial arts true power!

The dazzling golden true energy surged skyward, the palm wind was vast and mighty, overwhelming and turbulent, the fierce and domineering Dragon Subduing Palm force crushed all directions, and the pressure was extremely terrifying!

Compared to the previous probing attack, its power has increased several times over!

boom!

Their palms collided violently once again!

This time, there was no stalemate at all!

The overwhelming power instantly crushed everything!

Click!

A crisp, piercing sound of bones cracking suddenly echoed across the high platform!

Li Fuquan's palm meridians instantly ruptured inch by inch, his palm bones shattered, and the pale white bones pierced through his flesh, exposed in a hideous manner, dripping with blood, a shocking sight!

An incredibly violent force surged through his arms and into his entire body!

Li Fuquan was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by a single palm strike!

Before the piercing scream could even escape its throat, it was forcefully choked back by the shockwave!

Its massive body slammed heavily into the thick, coiled dragon stone pillar of the Golden Palace!

With a deafening roar, the stone pillar trembled, and stone chips flew everywhere!

Li Fuquan coughed up blood, vomiting mouthful after mouthful. His body slumped to the ground, all his meridians severed and his cultivation ruined. His limbs twitched and struggled a few times before he was completely unable to get up. He lay paralyzed in a pool of blood, barely breathing, with no fighting power left!

The entire room fell silent!

Everyone stared in disbelief, their hearts pounding, and their bodies going cold!

one move!

Just one palm strike!

The fake Li Fuquan had his hands crippled, his meridians shattered, and was left severely injured and on the verge of death!

The fake emperor on the high platform had his pupils contract violently, his face full of horror, and his heart was filled with endless waves of shock. He was completely stunned by the scene before him!

He knew perfectly well Li Fuquan's true strength!

Li Fuquan has been practicing martial arts diligently for decades. His movements are exquisite and his internal strength is profound. He is one of the top masters in the world, and there are very few who can match him!

Yet, this top-notch expert was so utterly helpless in front of the centenarian general Su Mu!

He couldn't even withstand the opponent's full-force palm strike, and was instantly crippled and seriously injured, his life hanging by a thread!

Such combat power and such domineering palm techniques are simply unbelievable and terrifying!

The fake emperor stiffened slightly, and an intense fear instantly welled up in his heart!

He finally understood why Su Mu could maintain his position as the God of War who guards the nation, and why he could sweep across the four seas, crush foreign enemies, and remain undefeated in a hundred battles!

This is the true power of the Great Qian's Guardian War God!

Terrifying beyond compare, crushing everything!

Su Mu stood in mid-air, his white hair fluttering, golden true energy swirling around him, exuding unparalleled killing power. His cold gaze locked onto the fake emperor, his voice indifferent yet carrying the domineering authority to pronounce life and death!

"The ants have been eliminated!"

"Now, it's your turn."
