Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Tie Zu slowly descended on his sword, shrugged, and said, "If I could, I wouldn't want to fight you!"

"However, Lord Huangfu said that no one should be allowed to go and disturb them, so this road is blocked. You should take another route!"

"joke!"

The spiritual power emanating from Shen Jian surged rapidly, and the figure of the divine general Yang Jian slowly emerged behind him.

He reached out, and a three-pointed double-edged sword appeared in his hand. "There's no road that my Divine Halberd can't clear. You can still leave now, lest you be beaten so badly that you slink back and become a laughingstock!"

"It seems we can't reach an agreement!"

Tie Zu gently drew his nameless sword, and with a flash of light, countless sword energies instantly slashed towards Shen Jian.

"You swordsmen just love to play feints..."

Shen Jian stood still, showing no intention of hiding. Behind him, Yang Jian's third eye on his forehead was fully open, and golden light swept across the sword energy, revealing the Gan Jiang sword and Mo Xie sword hidden within.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian leaped up, his third eye locking onto the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords, and unleashed a powerful golden beam of light.

"You noticed it so quickly..."

Iron Soldier's hand transformed into a sword finger, controlling the two swords to dodge. However, as Gan Jiang and Mo Xie left, the sword energy surrounding them did not dissipate. Instead, it slashed towards Shen Jian even faster.

"A trivial skill!"

Shen Jian easily dodged, wielding his three-pointed double-edged sword. Golden arcs of light collided with the sword energy in the air, causing a violent explosion that kicked up a cloud of dust.

"I share the same vision as the True Lord..."

Shen Jian emerged from the smoke and dust, looking at Tie Zu, "Under the Heavenly Eye, you have nowhere to hide. You should save your tricks!"

"interesting!"

Tie Zu snapped his fingers, and Gan Jiang and Mo Xie merged into one, transforming into a sword god that appeared behind Tie Zu.

"It seems that if we don't go all out today, not only will we fail to complete the mission, but we might also fall into your hands, right?"

"You're not bad either..."

Within the shared vision of the Divine Eye, the Iron Soldier was surrounded by a dense array of sword energy. "When fighting a powerhouse like you, there's no room for carelessness!"

"There's no need for further flattery!"

Tie Zu brandished his nameless sword, shouting, "Bamboo Horse Chasing the Wind!"

Several powerful sword energies suddenly slashed down on Shen Jian from all directions. Shen Jian did not dodge, and his body was instantly slashed with sword marks by the sword energies, even the mask on his face was cut open.

Is that all?

Although Tie Zu could sense that Shen Jian's aura was slowly dissipating, he had a feeling that this battle wouldn't be that simple...

His idea was indeed correct. Suddenly, Shen Jian appeared behind him, wielding a mountain-splitting axe and cleaving it down fiercely towards his head.

The moment Shen Jian's aura appeared, it was detected by Tie Zu's divine sense, and Tie Zu dodged to the side.

But Shen Jian seemed to have anticipated his movements, and the axe in his hand followed closely in the direction he dodged, slashing down.

Helpless, Tie Zu could only use his nameless sword to defend, but his preparations were too hasty in the face of this sudden heavy blow, and he was knocked back several steps.

If the one just now was a fake body, then why does its aura resemble the real body even more than the real body in front of us?

Tie Zu turned to look at the location of the fake body, only to find that the fake body had disappeared, leaving only a three-pointed double-edged sword stuck in the ground.

So it was a fake body made from his own weapon? No wonder their auras were so similar...

Shen Jian sheathed his axe, extended his right hand, and the three-pointed double-edged sword flew into his hand. "What, still want to struggle?"

"Heh, do you really think that's all the Iron Soldier is capable of?"

Tie Zu slowly raised the nameless sword in his hand, "Thousands of sword spirits, heed my command!"

The earth trembled, and the sword spirits of famous swords such as Chengying Sword, Chun Jun Sword, Tai'a Sword, Chixiao Sword, Zhanlu Sword, and Yuchang Sword, along with countless ancient sword spirits, rose into the air.

"All swords return to one!"

Under the control of the guardian spirit sword god of the Iron Soldier, thousands of sword souls merged into one, and a giant sword spanning the heavens and the earth suddenly emerged from the sky.

Tie Zu looked at Shen Jian and asked, "How about we try this move?"

Shen Jian nodded. "It's very powerful. It seems we have no choice but to take it seriously, right, True Lord?"

"The law of Heaven and Earth!"

Yang Jian's figure instantly grew dozens of feet, and the Heavenly Principle Golden Pattern appeared around him. The blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand showed the phantom images of mountains and rivers.

He raised his head, and from the third eye on his forehead, a dark golden beam of light mixed with a destructive aura shot fiercely toward the giant sword protruding from the sky.

As the dark golden beam of light collided with the greatsword, a massive shockwave instantly erupted outwards, killing even the evil spirits wandering nearby.

While Yang Jian and the Sword God were locked in a stalemate, Shen Jian rushed towards Tie Zu and began close combat. Amidst the flashing blades, Tie Zu gradually lost ground.

An inch longer, an inch stronger. Unless he can find an opportunity to create distance, it's virtually impossible for Tie Zu to defeat Shen Jian in close combat with the Nameless Sword...

Chapter 212: Desperado

Shuiyun Street.

Li Moxuan was unaware that Shen Jian had been stopped by the iron soldiers. At this moment, he had already found Xiang Kunlun and Liu Yuchan, who had been awake for a long time.

"You want me to do you a favor?"

Xiang Kunlun looked at Li Moxuan, who had brought Fan Tianyin with him, and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What kind of help do you want me to give you?"

"Huangfu Longdou may have led Longqi General to launch a surprise attack on my Greedy Camp, so I want you to come with me to take a look..."

Even with Xiang Kunlun's full strength, he might not be able to defeat Huangfu Longdou, Ying Chengfeng, Tiezu, and Leipao, but he should be able to handle Feng Xiang and Yu Shi without any problem.

Li Moxuan's gaze swept over Liu Yuchan beside him, "Anyway, aren't you just looking to avenge your brother? This time, you can also repay the favor you owe me..."

Xiang Kunlun shook his head, a flame of anger burning in his eyes. "It has nothing to do with personal relationships. If I have the chance, I will seek revenge on them without you even having to tell me!"

He turned his head to look at his empty left arm. "But since the Overlord can't take shape right now, I'm afraid I can't help you..."

"You think I wouldn't think of something you can think of?"

Li Moxuan took out the Void Divine Pearl. "I will use the Void Divine Pearl to restore your physical condition to the state before your battle with Mu Bing. Don't let me down!"

"But didn't you say that if you keep doing this you'll get into trouble..."

As Xiang Kunlun spoke, he noticed Fan Tianyin's questioning gaze and quickly changed the subject, "And aren't you afraid that I'll continue to oppose you after I regain my strength?"

"To oppose?"

Li Moxuan glanced at Xiang Kunlun, "Don't I know you? You're so concerned about saving face, you can't stand losing it..."

"Besides, I'm tough, don't worry!"

"Master Li, I'll go with you too!"

Liu Yuchan suddenly spoke up, saying that he owed Li Moxuan a favor from the Kingdom Organization's First Knight when they met last time, and if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance to repay it.

"Now that my strength has been restored and I have the Five Tiger Generals with me, I can help you in any way I can, consider it repaying your favor..."

"It would be best if the renowned Ice Child could help..."

Li Moxuan did not refuse Liu Yuchan's kindness. He had already helped him so much, so it was time to ask him to come and help.

Fan Tianyin, who was next to Li Moxuan, noticed that Xiang Kunlun was acting strangely. Although she was a little worried, she didn't say anything and planned to ask him after Li Moxuan finished his work.

Cao Yanbing, who had come over to join in the fun, leaned against a rock, feeling a bit out of place. After hesitating for a moment, he voiced his confusion.

Why do you think Huangfu Longdou did this?

His words attracted the attention of everyone except Li Moxuan. Zhuge Yixin was a little confused. "Master Cao, what do you mean by that?"

Huangfu Longdou did this simply because of his ambition! Could there be other reasons?

"Ahem, when I was at the Luhua Ancient Tower, I found some records about Huangfu Longdou. He was hailed by the Spirit Realm as the strongest spirit master in the Underworld and was once entrusted with important responsibilities by the Spirit Realm..."

Cao Yanbing did not reveal the existence of his parents among the Ten Kings of Hell, but instead used his experience at the Luhua Ancient Tower as an excuse.

Anyway, the Spirit Masters had always claimed that they had stolen from the treasure vault, and apart from Xia Ling and Feng Zha, no one here knew the truth, so he simply accepted it...

"The reason he later betrayed the Spirit Realm was because the Spirit Realm had been deceiving the Soul Suppressor General. You should all know how they deceived them."

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is that the Spirit Master ordered him to assassinate Gui Fu San Tong, the Spirit Realm Envoy who knew the truth at the time, and Gui Fu San Tong was none other than Huangfu Longdou's father..."

"So, this is the reason why Huangfu Longdou betrayed the Spirit Realm?"

Liu Yuchan was genuinely a little surprised, "I can understand him though..."

"That's not the important thing..."

Cao Yanbing stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly. "As far as I know, Huangfu Longdou has no ambitions; he only wants revenge against the Spirit Realm."

"But now that the Spirit Realm is destroyed, he's targeting the Hall of Heroes and the Greedy Camp... I don't quite understand why he's doing this..."

Li Moxuan glanced at him. "Cao Yanbing, are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?"

"If I understood, I wouldn't have asked you..."

"Then let me ask you, who is the person Huangfu Longdou owes the most in his life?"

Cao Yanbing was completely bewildered. "I'm not Huangfu Longdou, how would I know? Could it be his father, Gui Fu Santong?"

Li Moxuan shook his head, controlling the Void Divine Pearl to fly towards Xiang Kunlun, and said, "He owes your Cao family the most..."

"Huangfu Longdou's real name is Cao Longdou. His father is Gui Fu Santong. He was raised by your grandparents along with your father, Cao Yanming, from a young age!"

Moreover, Cao Ren saved his life when he was a child...

"He and your father had a very good brotherly relationship. During the Tongqing Banquet Incident, due to his negligence, your parents were indirectly killed by him, and he has always felt guilty about it..."

As Li Moxuan channeled his spiritual power, the Void Divine Pearl emitted a dazzling light. "Cao Yanbing, guess who Huangfu Longdou is doing this for, even without any ambition?"

Cao Yanbing was stunned. "Is it for the Cao family?"

Hearing his conclusion, Xia Ling was speechless. "It's for you, you idiot!"

Cao Yanbing now understood: Huangfu Longdou wanted to clear obstacles for him, which also explained why those Dragon Chess Generals always said that Huangfu Longdou wouldn't let them touch him...

"Are you kidding me? Does he think I'm a beggar? I won't take his charity!"

Cao Yanbing was not happy when he learned the truth. Instead, he found it a bit ridiculous. Did Huangfu Longdou think that this would make up for his mistake?

Moreover, even if one has ambition, one would not accept a kingdom given by others; what difference would that make from being a beggar?
