261: Kill Li Ze at the Yuecheng Pass, exceeding the target

The Azure Emperor Dharma Form evolved many anomalies; the azure sky was like a tide, suppressing the firmament and pressing towards Langlang Pass.

“Boom!”

Seeing that the first strike failed, the peerless killing formation erupted again, launching more than a dozen attacks at once, but they were easily shattered by the Azure Emperor Dharma Form.

Then, a heaven-piercing finger, its Aura intimidating the Nine Heavens, was like an Immortal King inspecting his territory.

“This is impossible! This kid clearly hasn’t reached the Heaven and Earth Realm, how could he block the attacks of the peerless killing formation?!” Li Ze couldn’t believe his eyes; this was simply impossible, a miracle.

“What kind of Dharma Form is this? Why is it so terrifying?!” Countless people on the city wall were shocked. To withstand several assaults from a peerless killing formation was too Heaven-Defying.

Even Sun Tai’an, who was watching the battlefield from inside the pass, was astonished. The Five Elements Thunder Evil Array, even with a slight eruption, could annihilate any Faxiang Realm Cultivator, yet Chu Jiang was unharmed.

“This Dharma Form isn’t right…”

A Dharma Form can indeed increase combat power, and some powerful Dharma Forms can even double combat power, easily suppressing Cultivators of the same Realm.

But like Chu Jiang, Sun Tai’an had cultivated for seven hundred years and had never seen such a powerful Dharma Form that could bring such a great increase in combat power.

“Thunder Evil Trapping Heaven Array!”

Li Ze’s face turned ashen, and he roared, unleashing one of the Five Elements Thunder Evil Array’s super ultimate moves.

“Clang—”

“Clang—”

In an instant, thunder roared, Evil Qi surged through the pass, and the sky above the border pass was like a sea of thunder and evil, pouring down.

Countless forces of thunder and evil gathered into a sky full of sword Qi, annihilating everything in their path, and swiftly moved to trap and kill Chu Jiang’s Azure Emperor Dharma Form.

Chu Jiang’s expression was cold, and he roared, “Li Ze, do you know who gave you the resources to grow to this point today? You ungrateful dog!”

“Die for this Lord!”

The Azure Emperor Dharma Form erupted with Divine Might, and the Aura of that finger became even more terrifying.

Inside and outside the city pass, there was an uproar.

However, Li Ze remained calm and said, “This general has grown to this point, and I have my own judgment. It’s not for a demon like you to point fingers!”

It was true that he had achieved the Faxiang Realm and advanced all the way to the Ten Realms of Dharma Idol by relying on the Great Chu’s resource supply. But that was ancient history; now his lifespan was nearing its end, and Great Chu couldn’t give him what he wanted.

He was merely following his heart; how could that be considered a fall?

Moreover, he had guarded the border for Great Chu for a thousand years, which had long since repaid his debt.

Boom!

Heaven and earth roared as the Azure Emperor Dharma Form’s finger collided with the thunder and evil force. Thousands of thunder and evil sword Qi tore through the Void Realm, attempting to destroy that finger, but they only managed to pause it for a few breaths before being completely crushed.

Its speed, power, and might were unimaginable, instantly breaking through the border pass’s defenses.

“Not good!”

Li Ze’s face instantly changed, filled with horror. Breaking through the pass with one strike—this guy must have hidden his Realm.

“Stop him!”

He roared, instantly condensing a layer of white armor around his body, covering him completely. Immediately, his Dharma Form soared into the sky, fighting against the almost ethereal finger.

Pfft!

One breath, the Dharma Form shattered.

Two breaths, the armor shattered.

Three breaths, Li Ze was struck by lightning, coughing up blood and flying back three thousand meters.

In a flash, Chu Jiang, like a Roc, stepped over the defensive breach and entered Langlang Pass.

In an instant, he raised his Void Realm hand, like an eagle catching a chick, and directly seized Li Ze’s neck.

“Release General Li Ze!”

Seeing the situation was dire, Li Ze’s two Faxiang Realm confidants roared and attacked simultaneously, attempting to suppress Chu Jiang again.

“Scram—”

Chu Jiang roared, lifting his leg and suppressing the two, causing blood to splatter across the sky as they crashed heavily against the copper walls of the city pass, never getting up again.

“You have no right to kill me! I am the border general, a great general under Marquis Shenwei! Without Your Majesty’s order, no one can touch me! Even if I am guilty, it’s not for you to judge!”

Li Ze’s white hair was stained with blood, but he was still unyielding, letting out a ferocious roar.

“Still daring to talk back!”

“This Lord has the power to execute first and report later! I’m executing you, this beast who harms the nation and its people!”

Chu Jiang slapped Li Ze across the bridge of his nose, causing the bone to collapse instantly, all his teeth to fall out, and him to let out a painful shriek.

Bang, bang, bang!

Chu Jiang’s big foot continuously stomped on his face. Both his ears were directly crushed into bloody pulp, one eyeball exploded, and only one eye remained to see the world.

“Ah—”

Li Ze’s head was a bloody mess, and he screamed again.

Chu Jiang kicked Li Ze’s head, sending it flying backward to crash against the copper walls of the city pass. Then, he burst forward, grabbed Li Ze’s white hair, and slammed him against a nearby wall three hundred times.

“You motherf*cker…” Li Ze’s entire body was a bloody mess, with no intact flesh remaining, bone fragments mixed in with the blood and flesh.

Then.

Crack!

Another powerful sweep, and Li Ze’s jaw was directly shattered.

“Speak to this Lord!”

Chu Jiang roared, kicking him into the sky.

Boom!

Then, his figure reappeared above Li Ze like a ghost.

A punch pierced his abdomen, splattering blood across the sky.

Li Ze coughed up blood, his eyes wide with rage, a thousand curses running through his mind.

“This punch is for the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the counties!”

The power of the punch was unparalleled. Li Ze could only wail in agony, unable to change anything.

“This punch is for the fallen border soldiers!”

His last remaining eyeball burst, and Li Ze was completely blind, able to perceive his surroundings only through his Soul.

“And this punch…”

“This punch…”

Chu Jiang beat Li Ze thousands of times in the air, his bones all shattered into fragments.

After venting his anger sufficiently.

Chu Jiang dragged Li Ze onto the city wall and drew the embroidered spring blade from his waist.

“Li Ze, you are found guilty of five major crimes: colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation, raping women, forming factions for personal gain, harming the common people, and selling state secrets. The evidence is conclusive!”

“Li Ze is sentenced to death, to be executed immediately!”

Hearing this, Li Ze shook his head frantically, wanting to deny these charges.

The crimes listed were all fabricated.

“I—do—not—accept!”

Li Ze spoke with difficulty; these were all crimes imposed upon him.

“Wait, Lord Chu, if a border general is guilty, he should be tried by the border commander. Is it not improper to carry out a private execution like this?!”

A Faxiang Realm general spoke up. After all, executing the main general guarding a pass before the matter was investigated was too significant.

Although Chu Jiang had human witnesses, it was still better to be cautious.

It would be good for both sides.

Seeing someone speak up for him, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Ze’s mouth. As long as he left the pass, people from Earth Fiend Hall would surely come to rescue him on the way.

Before, he had been somewhat resistant to the demon experiments of Earth Fiend Hall, but now, in his miserable state, it was a good opportunity to start anew, completely align with Earth Fiend Hall, and begin a new life.

This time, he didn’t curse, waiting obediently.

To avoid provoking Chu Jiang.

“The evidence is conclusive, what more trial is needed?!”

“If I say he dies today, he dies today, nothing more!”

Chu Jiang’s expression was cold. He raised the embroidered spring blade in his hand, a cold glint appearing, chilling to the bone.

“No… you can’t kill…”

Li Ze said in despair, letting out his last cry in this life.

However, his words were unfinished.

Pfft!

The embroidered spring blade fell.

A bloody head rolled.

Li Ze, deceased!
