195: What to do? Kill them.

West Gate Blowing Snow brought Deliverance from Suffering before Duan Zhengchun, his expression calm.

He didn't appear to be injured, just somewhat exhausted, with some dust on his clothes.

Deliverance from Suffering was different; his clothes were tattered, with bloody streaks on his body and blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, clearly injured.

"How to deal with him?" West Gate Blowing Snow asked coldly.

Duan Zhengchun glanced at Deliverance from Suffering, his face calm, as he calmly spat out two words.

"Kill him..."

"Clang..."

"Stop..."

Difficulty in Crossing and Undergoing Tribulation were about to speak to stop him, but West Gate Blowing Snow's sword had already moved.

Deliverance from Suffering's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Until his death, he never imagined that Duan Zhengchun would actually dare to kill him, especially in front of so many people.

"Senior Brother..."

"Senior Brother..."

Difficulty in Crossing and Undergoing Tribulation cried out in sorrow, and in their grief, they forgot they had already been hit by the Eight Tones Piercing Heart.

They excitedly rose and ran to Deliverance from Suffering's side, but as soon as they reached him, their bodies stiffened.

Before the crowd could react, they heard a loud boom.

The two high Monks, Deliverance from Suffering and Difficulty in Crossing, exploded on the spot in front of everyone, leaving no remains.

Shredded meat accompanied by shattered internal organs sprayed everywhere.

Those closest were directly covered in blood.

Duan Zhengchun had already prepared; a force blocked him from the front, and not a drop of blood touched him.

Everyone was stunned by this scene; it turned out the rumors had always been true.

The heavenly demon zither was truly so terrifying; it was indeed safe within eight steps, but beyond eight steps, death was certain.

Even a Master of the Heavenly Human Realm could not escape such a fate.

Monk was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at everything happening before him, not even noticing the blood splattered on his face.

Li Xunhuan's expression changed repeatedly as he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had bet correctly; the heavenly demon zither was truly this terrifying. If he hadn't believed it before, Ah Fei's fate would have been no different from those two.

"Well, this can't be blamed on this Prince; he knew this would happen but insisted on moving himself, I couldn't help it," Duan Zhengchun said with an innocent look.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, the people present couldn't help but have their mouths twitch.

Listen to that, is that even human speech?

However, at this time, no one dared to speak up.

"Murong Bo, now it's your turn."

At this moment, a coarse voice rang out.

Xiao Yuanshan appeared frenzied, his body filled with a violent aura. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his spirit was highly excited.

Looking back at the place of the previous battle, Master Tan, Mistress Tan, Shan Zheng, Zhao Qiansun, and Wang Jiantong were all silent.

Now only Monk and Murong Bo remained. It was unknown if Xiao Yuanshan could hold on in his current state.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo's face turned ugly.

"Xiao Yuanshan, you shouldn't have come back. Since you already chose suicide, why come back?" Murong Bo glared at Xiao Yuanshan.

"Haha... yes, I was already a dead man. The reason I could live until now was for revenge."

"Since you are all still alive, how could I die?" Xiao Yuanshan said coldly.

"Do you think you are still my match now?" Murong Bo said coldly.

"Whether I'm your match, we'll know after a fight," Xiao Yuanshan shouted coldly and rushed forward.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and Murong Bo naturally wouldn't stand still and wait for death.

The two were evenly matched in strength, fighting inextricably. Murong Bo utilized the Murong Family's direct lineage martial art, the Stars Shifting Maneuver, with consummate skill.

If not for the Stars Shifting Maneuver, Murong Bo really wouldn't be Xiao Yuanshan's match.

Originally, Xiao Yuanshan's strength was above Murong Bo's, but because of the Stars Shifting Maneuver and the fact that Xiao Yuanshan had already consumed a lot of energy, Murong Bo was able to fight Xiao Yuanshan to a stalemate.

"This Senior Xiao might lose," Li Xunhuan couldn't help but say as he watched the fight.

"No, no, no, Li Xunhuan, you will never understand how much potential a person carrying a blood feud can explode with when they encounter their enemy," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Oh? Does the Prince mean there's still a turn of events?" Li Xunhuan asked in surprise.

"Just watch and you'll see," Duan Zhengchun said calmly.

However, his eyes drifted toward a distant mountainside, where a figure stood wearing a black robe, a bamboo hat, and a mask.

This outfit reminded Duan Zhengchun of a person, the Wicked Marshal of the Great Tang, Yuan Tiangang.

He didn't expect that even this person would be attracted here.

If he hadn't already reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he really wouldn't have discovered him.

It seemed that this Great Tang Wicked Marshal's strength was not below his own; at the very least, he was also in the Earth Immortal Realm.

After all, this Wicked Marshal had taken the Elixir of Immortality and should be several hundred years old by now, right?

Unfortunately, the Immortality Pill he refined was very different from the one refined by Xu Fu.

But both had drawbacks.

Xu Fu used Phoenix blood for refinement. Although it had an immortal effect, every time he was injured, it would consume the Phoenix blood, thus weakening the immortal effect.

Otherwise, Xu Fu wouldn't have risked slaying a Dragon back then, wanting to use the Dragon Essence to obtain the immortal effect again.

As for the Elixir of Immortality refined by Yuan Tiangang, there were two. When they were successfully refined, he gave them to Li Shimin.

It also showed that this Immortality Pill would have certain side effects, but he wasn't clear on the specifics.

After all, immortality is a Heaven-Defying act, which the Heavenly Dao does not allow; side effects are normal.

So, Li Shimin had Yuan Tiangang take one first, and the side effects made this Heavenly Khagan abandon the thought of taking it.

Yuan Tiangang was completely disfigured because of the Immortality Pill; not just his face, but even the skin on his body looked as if it had been burned by a great fire, and it would accelerate in rotting every once in a while.

It required Mysterious Yin Qi to repair; this was the price of immortality.

Therefore, from then on, Yuan Tiangang lived in seclusion behind the scenes and became the Wicked Marshal, specifically handling things for Li Shimin that couldn't see the light of day.

And controlling all intelligence of the Great Tang.

When he looked at Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang also felt his gaze, and their eyes met across the distance.

A smile appeared on Duan Zhengchun's lips.

The battle between Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo had reached a fever pitch, with the wind from their punches whistling; every strike was filled with rage.

Thinking of his wife and clansmen dying tragically before him back then, all of this was caused by Murong Bo.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Xiao Yuanshan became, and his strikes became even more ruthless. At this moment, he had lost all reason and only wanted to kill Murong Bo.

Looking at Xiao Yuanshan, who had lost his reason, a cold sneer appeared on Murong Bo's lips.

Seizing a flaw in Xiao Yuanshan's defense, he struck Xiao Yuanshan's chest directly with his palm.

However, the scene of Xiao Yuanshan being sent flying as imagined did not occur; instead, his wrist was grabbed by Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan spat out a mouthful of blood, but a smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan's smile, Murong Bo was startled.

"Only realizing it now? It's too late..." Xiao Yuanshan roared and struck Murong Bo's chest with a palm.
