Liu Zhaoqing was not surprised that Yinglong could sense his emotions. After all, he now understood that Yinglong was connected to his life.
"I'm not a god, so how can I be heartless? You won't understand this feeling." Liu Zhaoqing said softly.
"..."
Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing picked up the water-avoiding sword and prepared to leave the peach garden.
But just as he took a step, an extremely terrifying pressure came from above his head.
His whole body was instantly covered in golden light, and Liu Zhaoqing rolled to the side with the help of Yinglong and Renshu's power.
"boom!"
At the original place, a pitch-black spear was halfway sunken into the ground. If Liu Zhaoqing had been a little slower, he would have been pierced to pieces by the spear.
Holding the sword horizontally to be ready to fight at any time, Liu Zhaoqing raised his head and saw a dark figure with loose hair slowly falling from the black hole in the sky.
"Zhang Rang..."
Liu Zhaoqing read out the name of the visitor, and it was Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Attendants.
I thought Zhang Rang was torn apart by Qiongqi's space power, but now it seems that he was teleported to a faraway place, and as a human being, he can actually tear open the void and come back here again.
The mind that had just relaxed became tense again. Liu Zhaoqing understood that Zhang Rang was far more terrifying than Qiongqi's clone.
Although Qiongqi is a fierce god, it has never taken mortals seriously from beginning to end. Even at the end, it only regretted not using all its strength.
Zhang Rang was different. He had long known that Liu Zhaoqing was no ordinary person, and he even concluded that Liu Zhaoqing would endanger the Han Dynasty.
For this reason, he was willing to disobey Emperor Ling's order and kill Liu Zhaoqing to save Emperor Ling's life.
Zhang Rang has the gift of seeing through people's hearts, and what's more terrifying is that he also has a firm heart that Liu Zhaoqing has never seen before.
When infected by Qiongqi, Liu Zhaoqing had to rely on Yinglong to break free from Qiongqi's mental control. However, Zhang Rang, who had no real dragon to protect him, was able to rely on his own will to defeat Qiongqi and use its power for his own benefit.
Although he was one of the Ten Eunuchs, Zhang Rang was already a man of both civil and military talents, and could be considered the best man in the world.
"His Majesty……"
After Zhang Rang landed, he ignored Liu Zhaoqing and walked directly to Liu Hong and knelt on the ground.
An expression of disbelief appeared on his dirty and pale face, as if he had never expected that Liu Hong would lie lifeless on the ground in front of him.
"Your Majesty... Why! Why don't you wait for me... Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang clenched his fists and cried out in pain.
"I deserve to die... I shouldn't have hesitated at that time and obeyed Your Majesty's wishes, and I shouldn't have come to protect you so late... Even if it was ten breaths earlier, Your Majesty would not have done this..."
Zhang Rang lowered his head and cried for a long time, until his hands had crushed the soil into powder. Then he suddenly looked up again, his expression was obviously excited, but his eyes were lifeless; "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please wake up, it will be dawn soon! Your Majesty... You can go to the garden to have fun!"
"No? If Your Majesty doesn't like it, then I can take Your Majesty to court?!"
Seeing that Liu Hong still hadn't replied, Zhang Rang slapped himself and said, "This old slave really deserves to die. I knew that Your Majesty didn't like to attend court!"
"Then your majesty, I will ask the Tiger Guards to gather the troops and we will go hunting in the west of Liangzhou. This is the time when magical beasts appear. We may even encounter auspicious beasts in the mountains! Doesn't your majesty like to raise rare and magical beasts the most?"
Zhang Rang's expression gradually became dejected: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... why don't you reply to my words?"
Seeing Zhang Rang's demeanor, Liu Zhaoqing frowned. This would not be a good thing.
At this time, Zhang Rang possessed a power that was almost unmatched. If he went crazy, he might be more dangerous to the people of the world than Qiongqi.
However, Liu Zhaoqing also knew that he was no match for Zhang Rang at the moment.
Just when Liu Zhaoqing was considering whether to leave, Zhang Rang over there suddenly muttered to himself.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot that the Tiger Guards have already sided with He Jin... The palace is full of rebels tonight."
"And your majesty... was also murdered by a traitor, the traitor's name was..."
Zhang Rang turned around suddenly, and then a strong wind blew across the entire West Garden.
With one hand, he controlled Liu Hong's body and slowly placed it into an exquisite box in the distance that originally contained rare treasures, and then it floated into the air.
Zhang Rang looked down at Liu Zhaoqing and spoke coldly:
"Xia Yun, follow me to kill the traitor who murdered the emperor, to comfort your majesty's spirit in heaven."
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, and his jet-black nails emitted a faint light. The space on his right hand side suddenly fluctuated, and then a black circle door opened, and a tiger monster that looked like Qiongqi but had Xia Yun's face slowly crawled out of it.
Chapter 120 You Are Far Less Than Me 3k
Qiongqi is dead, but Zhang Rang still uses the power he seized from Qiongqi.
Zhang Rang has completely mastered the power of Qiongqi for himself, and even integrated it into his mind, comprehending entirely new abilities.
The infected Xia Yun was not controlled by Qiongqi, but instead became Zhang Rang's capable follower.
Xia Yun, who had transformed into a tiger-like monster, walked out of the void and roared at Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing raised his sword, then stepped back and prepared to head towards the entrance of Taoyuan.
He is not a brainless reckless man. Zhang Rang alone is more terrifying than a fully-powered Qiongqi. Add to that a demonized Xia Yun, and if Liu Zhaoqing fights head-on, the chances of his winning are slim.
The most correct thing to do at this time is to quickly meet up with the generals and captains in the West Garden and the Back Garden, as well as any outstanding people who come to support the king, and then work together to fight against Zhang Rang.
This will give us a chance of winning.
However, there was no reason for Zhang Rang not to understand such a simple truth.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed the space around him, and the space around Taoyuan twisted.
Liu Zhaoqing suddenly found that the roads behind him and on both sides were like an earthquake, being torn apart, shattered and extending into endless darkness.
Zhang Rang blocked all the roads behind and to the left and right of Liu Zhaoqing that he wanted to retreat and evacuate. His purpose was of course to "punish the traitor who killed the king" as he had mentioned before.
All Yinglong gave Liu Zhaoqing was a strengthened physique and the ability to control water. After Qiongqi was killed by him, the connection between Liu Zhaoqing and Qiongqi was severed, and the power of infection had long since disappeared.
Liu Zhaoqing couldn't think of any way to break the blockade for the time being, so he could only bite the bullet and fight two people alone.
Xia Yun transformed into a tiger monster and rushed towards Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing did not dodge but advanced instead.
In this confrontation with a huge disparity in power, Liu Zhaoqing had to immediately deal with the weaker one so as to make up for his double disadvantage in numbers and strength.
Otherwise, if Zhang Rang and Xia Yun came together to besiege him, it would be more than just a matter of giving him a few pots of wine to drink.
There was still some strength left in his body from the tempering of natural treasures. Liu Zhaoqing's physical fitness and martial arts strength were both over 300. The aura of Xia Yun, who was rushing over from the sky in front, was almost the same as that of a ferocious beast.
In other words, Xia Yun's strength should be only a hundred points higher than his own. As long as Liu Zhaoqing seizes the opportunity, he will have a chance to eliminate him first.
"Roar!"
Xia Yun swept a claw towards Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing raised his sword to engage with his claw, then rolled forward and stepped directly on his arm.
The next moment, Xia Yun opened his huge black mouth emitting blood mist and bit towards Liu Zhaoqing.
Liu Zhaoqing stepped directly on its head, then held the sword in both hands and stabbed at Xia Yunzhi's eyes.
"Roar!!"
Xia Yun let out a scream.
It twisted its body and threw Liu Zhaoqing out, and the next moment, Liu Zhaoqing saw Zhang Rang moving over there.
Realizing that he could not fight back, Liu Zhaoqing immediately raised his hands to protect his vital parts, but Zhang Rang still appeared behind him and slapped Liu Zhaoqing directly on the back.
A huge force hit Liu Zhaoqing, and it seemed as if all the bones in his body were broken, and his body suddenly crashed towards the ground.
"You are only relying on the gift of Yinglong." Zhang Rang, floating in the air, said to Liu Zhaoqing who was struggling to climb out of the pit.
"If you don't use that kind of power, you can't even touch the corner of my clothes."
Although Zhang Rang's words were arrogant, they were telling the truth.
But this is not a shameful thing. If possible, Liu Zhaoqing would be willing to sacrifice twenty years of his life to kill Zhang Rang. But when Liu Zhaoqing asked Yinglong in his mind, he did not get any answer from Yinglong.
"The Mandate of Heaven has been lost, and the Han Dynasty will perish..."
Zhang Rang pointed at Xia Yun, and Xia Yun's pain stopped instantly. He then ran over, carrying Zhang Rang, and rushed towards Liu Zhaoqing.
"It's all your fault, Liu Zhaoqing. You have harmed His Majesty and the people of the world..."
Raising the Water-Repellent Sword, Liu Zhaoqing took Xia Yun's blow head-on, but his body flew backwards.
Zhang Rang on Xia Yun's back raised his right hand, and with a casual wave of his hand, a gust of wind suddenly appeared from the earth, rolling up countless peach petals on the ground and merging into a round wind ball.
"You bewitched His Majesty, you brought chaos to Luoyang, and you murdered the king."
"You have sinned against Wang Mang, and you are not worthy of being a subject..."
"Zhang Rang!" Liu Zhaoqing shouted. He really couldn't stand the nonsense being talked about by this most hateful eunuch.
"Can you feel at ease if you put the blame on me for what you did?!"
Seeing the peach petals flying towards him, which were sharper than a knife blade, Liu Zhaoqing dodged most of them with a roll, then raised his sword and cut off another half, but some of them still pierced into his body.
With a muffled groan, Liu Zhaoqing looked up at Zhang Rang who was riding on a tiger monster and wandering in the sky.
"Your Majesty has great ambitions, but you are the one who feeds him!"
"You are His Majesty's most trusted minister. His Majesty has entrusted all of his imperial power to you. Your actions can serve as divine instructions. But what did you do?!"
"You have never thought of correcting His Majesty. You keep saying that you are loyal to His Majesty, but you did something like inviting the evil spirit to prolong His Majesty's life, causing His Majesty to be invaded by Qiongqi!"
"You hold great power but you do not fulfill your duties as a minister! You invite evil spirits to poison the emperor! You are still disobeying His Majesty's will!"
"Zhang Rang, His Majesty died because of you!"
Liu Zhaoqing's words could only echo in this blockaded Taoyuan and could not be heard anywhere else.
Zhang Rang could have ignored it, but his face showed sadness.
Covering his face with his hands, Zhang Rang let dark tears flow from the corners of his dry eyes.
"I just want His Majesty to... survive... But why, why did you only give His Majesty three days..."
"Heaven is merciless... Mortals like us can only accept our fate..."
Zhang Rang raised his head and looked at Liu Zhaoqing, his expression dejected: "You... are right... It's all my fault that His Majesty was harmed..."
"I shouldn't have listened to the traitor's words. With my ability, I knew that what he brought was Qiongqi's heart and blood... Your Majesty would be infected after taking it, but for the sake of Your Majesty's survival, I turned a blind eye..."
Zhang Rang and Xia Yun were slowly descending, and Liu Zhaoqing realized that this was an opportunity.
He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and then ran forward. Two breaths later, he arrived in front of Xia Yun. He jumped up and stabbed at the dazed Zhang Rang on his body.
Xia Yun roared and raised his body to block Liu Zhaoqing's sword. Liu Zhaoqing's sword pierced into the tiger monster's body.
Zhang Rang stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Zhaoqing away, then slowly fell to the ground and looked at the tiger monster lying on the ground.
"Xia Yun... maybe it's time for us to be loyal to His Majesty..."
After saying this, Zhang Rang looked at Liu Zhaoqing.
Then he stretched out his hand towards Xia Yun, and Xia Yun's body shrank and melted into a black ball and then covered Zhang Rang's body.
In an instant, Zhang Rang turned into a five-tailed evil leader with a wolf's head. The space in front of its mouth opened and closed with every breath it took. Its blood-red hair fluttered all over its body, and the air around it flickered slightly.
"Marquis Changping... before you die, let me see your abilities..."
Liu Zhaoqing was stunned. How did Zhang Rang suddenly reach the second stage?
Zhang Rang's aura now is even more terrifying than before. He is completely equivalent to an extremely ferocious beast. No, he is even more terrifying than an extremely ferocious beast.
Liu Zhaoqing stepped back, but Zhang Rang only gave him a look and the space behind him cracked.
When Liu Zhaoqing dodged and then went around countless cracks and ran towards Zhang Rang, preparing to grab the sword and try to chop him, Liu Zhaoqing's sword missed.
The sword clearly stabbed into Zhang Rang's body, but it did not cause any damage to him.
Its control over space is far beyond human comprehension. If it wanted to, it could even instantly pull Liu Zhaoqing into the boundless and lightless alien space.
Liu Zhaoqing was horrified. What kind of monster was this?
"Yinglong!"
He tried to call Yinglong again in his heart, but Yinglong still did not respond.
"You have no gift from heaven. All the power you possess comes from external things. The martial arts you have learned also come from your wife and servants..."
"With just these, you want to become the Marquis of Changping of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty expects too much from you."
Zhang Rang's tone was so calm, as if he was talking to himself, but Zhang Rang's attack did not stop.
His five fox-like scarlet tails swayed slightly, and five fox-like ferocious creatures suddenly appeared around Liu Zhaoqing.
"But His Majesty has never had any expectations of you, Zhang Rang." Liu Zhaoqing said coldly, covering his chest.
