203: Kill Zhao Xun! Destroy Wang Linquan's entire clan! (33)

Chapter 202: Slaying Zhao Xun! Wang Linquan's Family Annihilated! (33)

Tianmu Mountain, Wang Linquan’s Residence.

Hearing Zhao Xun’s voice, Li Chang’an revealed a mocking smile.

“If this little bastard didn’t come, this King would never forgive him.”

“Since he’s here, his head will serve perfectly to deter the Navy!”

Lu Xu smiled and said, “Your Highness truly has great courage!”

“Tonight, I, this blind cripple, will get to watch a good show!”

Li Chang’an slowly walked out of the courtyard. The battle at the foot of the mountain had already begun.

The Bai Er Soldiers rushing out of the mountain were slaughtering the Qingzhou Navy soldiers like chickens!

Qingniao alone fought two first-rank Vajra Realm experts, and she wasn't at a disadvantage!

One of the Vajra Realm masters saw Li Chang’an from a distance.

“Li Chang’an is out!”

“The Young Master said, whoever kills Li Chang’an will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and promoted to a third-rank General!”

That person looked at Li Chang’an, but Li Chang’an extended a hand towards him and made a grasping motion in the Void Realm.

The man immediately burst into laughter, “Li Chang’an!”

“We’re more than ten zhang apart, do you have the ability to grasp me to death?!”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw True Qi burst forth from Li Chang’an’s hand.

The extremely Yang and extremely rigid True Qi instantly transformed into a shining Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon shot directly at the first-rank expert who had just provoked him, then tightly wrapped around his neck.

Dragon Grasping Skill!

The man’s eyes widened. Before he could even understand what was happening, his head was directly twisted off!

Wu Liuding and his servant, who were currently fighting, simultaneously showed looks of astonishment!

Li Chang’an’s Dragon Grasping Skill could actually easily kill a first-rank expert!

The Jianghu first-rank experts invited by Zhao Heng were all dumbfounded!

Too terrifying!

The overwhelming Qingzhou Navy had Tianmu Mountain tightly surrounded.

However, this encirclement not only didn't shrink but was constantly expanding!

Because these cowardly Navy soldiers were actually retreating!

The fierce fourth-rank Bai Er Soldiers charged down from the mountain, scaring these men out of their wits!

Li Chang’an had just demonstrated killing from a distance, and now they were even more terrified.

Zhao Xun’s eyelids twitched violently when he saw Li Chang’an’s Dragon Grasping Skill.

“Don’t retreat! Don’t panic!”

“Kill Li Chang’an, and you’ll be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, a hundred beauties, and a hundred qing of fertile land!”

Li Chang’an frowned, and another claw flew out through the air.

Seeing Li Chang’an activate the Dragon Grasping Skill again, Zhao Xun was greatly alarmed!

“Master Wang, Commander Wei, save me!”

A man holding a long ge was sparring with Earth Armor.

This man looked no different from a farmer, but he possessed the cultivation of the Zhi Xuan Realm.

This was the Master Wang in Zhao Xun’s mouth, Wang Mingyin!

A General who was still commanding on a Navy warship also ordered his personal guards to quickly go and save the Young Master.

This was Wei Dong, the Commander of the Qingzhou Navy and the biggest corrupt official in Qingzhou.

Wang Mingyin swung his long ge fiercely, slowing the momentum of the Golden Dragon phantom.

Above the mountain Peak.

Gu Dazu of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Gong Banque were locked in an inseparable battle.

Although Gong Banque was in the Zhi Xuan Realm, he possessed a Vajra physique and Daoist secret arts.

His dual cultivation of both Buddhist and Daoist paths indeed gave him extraordinary abilities!

Wang Mingyin’s elder brother, Wang Mingyang, had immolated himself when Xiangfan City fell that year.

Before his death, he gouged out his own eyes, and those eyes were now in Prince Jing’an’s hands.

Giving those eyes to Wang Mingyin in exchange for one opportunity for him to act.

This was also Prince Jing’an’s trump card, which he used without hesitation this time.

Wang Mingyin held his long ge, and his True Qi erupted again!

Li Chang’an activated Thunder God Swiftness, instantly moving in front of him!

A huge golden palm heavily struck the long ge!

Rulai Break!

Both used their full strength, but Wang Mingyin’s long ge still shattered into several pieces!

“Bang!”

Li Chang’an’s palm heavily pressed against Wang Mingyin’s chest!

This was Li Chang’an’s strongest move, capable of breaking the White-Robed Guanyin’s protective True Qi.

After striking with this move, Li Chang’an then activated the Vajra Unbinding technique, and Wang Mingyin instantly shattered into more than a dozen pieces!

This bizarre scene was clearly seen by Zhao Xun’s experts and soldiers!

This King of Tang, his martial arts were too strange.

It was said to be Buddhist True Qi, but his Killing Intent was extremely heavy.

With the enemy’s morale low, Li Chang’an deliberately used this martial art to intimidate the enemy.

The dignified eleventh-ranked expert in the world was actually powerless to resist!

The Qingzhou Navy was already cowardly, and now they were collapsing like a mountain.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, two thousand elite Bai Er Soldiers had killed four or five times their number of Qingzhou Navy soldiers.

Originally, the Qingzhou Navy surrounded Li Chang’an, but now Li Chang’an led his men to drive the Qingzhou Navy to the lakeside!

These death-fearing Navy soldiers even scrambled to jump into the river to escape.

They didn’t even dare to board the ships, because they would still be pursued after boarding.

Qingniao, leading the Brocade-Clad Guards, had already captured Zhao Xun and Wei Dong alive.

Zhao Xun and Wei Dong were both scared pale!

Neither of them had expected that the Navy, which had a huge numerical advantage, would be defeated so miserably!

The Qingzhou Navy was rotten and dilapidated; much of their armor had been embezzled, and their training was merely perfunctory.

If it were a naval battle, they could still put on a show with their warships.

Once on land, two thousand men were no different from twenty thousand pigs.

Wei Dong reacted extremely quickly and immediately kowtowed to Li Chang’an to apologize.

“Your Highness! This subordinate was foolish!”

“This subordinate shouldn’t have believed Zhao Xun’s nonsense!”

“Your Highness is utterly loyal to the court, how could you possibly rebel...”

Li Chang’an waved his hand lightly, and the long spear in Qingniao’s hand flashed with cold light. Wei Dong’s head fell to the ground!

With the Navy Commander’s head on the ground, how could the Navy still have Battle Intent?

These soldiers scrambled into Spring God Lake like dumplings, abandoning their warships.

Li Chang’an did not allow the Bai Er Soldiers to pursue, but instead, he led his troops back to surround Wang Linquan’s mansion.

“Brocade-Clad Guards, heed my command!”

“Wang Linquan plotted rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive!”

“The entire Wang family, not a single one shall be spared; kill them all without mercy!”

Under the night sky, the bloodstains on the Brocade-Clad Guards’ Embroidered Spring Sabers had not yet dried.

“As you command!”

Li Chang’an coldly stared at the Wang family’s luxurious mansion, without a trace of hesitation in his heart.

Wang Linquan had painstakingly plotted to eliminate Li Chang’an for Northern Liang.

First, he used a honey trap to sow discord, and then he defected to the Green Shirt Alliance to frame Li Chang’an for rebellion.

Therefore, Wang Linquan’s fate would only be the same as Zhao Yutai and Wang Ying.

Since he had already formed a deep enmity with Northern Liang, he might as well be strong to the end.

Li Chang’an was never soft-hearted towards Northern Liang’s staunch supporters.

Moreover, Wang Linquan was the richest man in Qingzhou; it would be a waste not to fleece him!

“Thump!”

Under the moonlight, Zhao Xun’s face was deathly pale, devoid of any color!

The banks of Spring God Lake were covered with corpses, and the lake water was largely stained red with blood.

Wei Dong’s body was still gushing blood.

Inside Wang Linquan’s home, cries and screams were endless.

Zhao Xun was truly scared, “Royal Uncle Tang, this nephew was momentarily confused!”

“I am the Emperor’s nephew; my surname is Zhao!”

“Killing me will cause a lot of trouble!”

“Royal Uncle, why bother getting into trouble for this nephew.”

“Royal Uncle… please don’t kill me!”

Zhao Xun was both cowardly and afraid, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

No matter what, he was a member of the Imperial Clan.

Li Chang’an dared to kill Chu Lushan because he had the support of the court.

This King of Tang should not offend the Liyang Imperial Family, right?

But Li Chang’an’s next words plunged Zhao Xun’s mood to rock bottom.

“Does your Imperial Second Uncle really want you to live?”

“This King thinks he probably wants you to die.”

Hearing Li Chang’an’s words, Zhao Xun instantly broke out in a cold sweat, as if falling into an ice cave!

The Emperor was cold and ruthless, intent on weakening the vassal kings.

If the heir of a vassal king died, the Emperor would surely be delighted.

“Royal Uncle! This nephew doesn’t want to die…”

“Royal Uncle, spare my life!”

Zhao Xun was already crying out, but it was useless.

Li Chang’an said expressionlessly, “If this King wants to kill you, the Emperor can’t control it.”

“Qingniao, just kill him!”

Qingniao received the order, lightly raised her long spear, and Zhao Xun’s head flew off.

The battle on the ground had ended, but the struggle on the mountainside and the lake surface was still ongoing.

Li Chang’an observed the progress of the battle and decided to help them.

Gu Dazu and Gong Banque had already flown to the top of Tianmu Mountain.

The two had already carved off several zhang from the mountaintop, fighting in a chaotic frenzy!

All the first-rank experts recruited by Zhao Heng had been killed by Qingniao and Talisman General Red Armor.

The two Vajra Realm sword slaves from Martial Emperor City had already died.

The other two Zhi Xuan Realm sword slaves, seeing that the tide had turned, were already fleeing.

However, Wu Liuding and Cui Hua were desperately giving chase to gain their freedom.

Li Chang’an had promised them that if they killed three Zhi Xuan Realm experts, they would regain their freedom.

Since that was the case, Li Chang’an didn't mind helping them kill these two Zhi Xuan Realm experts.

“Dignified Martial Emperor City swordsmen, with longswords in hand, why do you only know how to flee?!”

No matter how Wu Liuding mocked them, the two sword slaves continued to flee.

Wu Liuding and Cui Hua’s movement techniques were not outstanding.

Although both were anxious, they simply couldn’t catch up!

Just then, several thin bolts of lightning suddenly flashed in the air!

Li Chang’an activated Thunder God Swiftness, his figure rushing forward like electricity!

The sword slave Wu Liuding was chasing suddenly paused.

The sword slave’s voice also began to tremble!

“King of Tang!”

The Zhi Xuan Realm sword slave’s entire skin began to twitch erratically!

Immediately after, the man was directly dismembered by Li Chang’an’s heavy blow.

While amazed, Wu Liuding and Cui Hua were both greatly disappointed.

The heads of these two Zhi Xuan Realm experts were snatched away by His Highness!

Afterward, Li Chang’an walked through the air, arriving at the top of Tianmu Mountain.

Gong Banque had nine ring scars on his bald head, but he wore a Daoist robe.

His cultivation, in essence, was dual cultivation of two paths, somewhat similar to Li Chang’an.

It was just that his Vajra Realm was merely at its Peak, not having reached the Great Vajra of a martial artist.

His Zhi Xuan secret arts were roughly at the Middle Stage of Zhi Xuan strength.

But because of his dual cultivation, he actually fought Gu Dazu to a draw.

This second Disciple of Wang Xianzhi was the oldest and had the most bizarre methods.

“Gu Dazu, although you are in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, you cannot break through my Vajra physique!”

“Though I possess six types of Daoist secret arts, you also have Celestial Phenomenon Divine Ability. Neither of us can do anything to the other!”

“Martial Emperor City has lost four sword slaves, and I have also given my all.

Martial Emperor City has given Prince Jing’an an explanation; let us cease fighting!”

Gu Dazu slashed out with his saber, his voice devoid of emotion.

“It’s too late to think of leaving now!”

Gong Banque couldn't help but laugh, “Don’t boast; can you really break my Vajra physique?!”

Just then, Li Chang’an’s voice came from the air.

“He can’t break it, but this King will break your Vajra physique!”

Gong Banque’s heart tensed, and then he saw a golden palm descend from the sky!

Li Chang’an knew Gong Banque’s physique was not weak, so he directly used Rulai Break.

This move could even break the Guanyin Dharma Body, let alone a martial artist’s Vajra physique!

After Gong Banque arrived in Qingzhou, Prince Jing’an had sent someone to specifically tell him about Li Chang’an’s cultivation.

He didn’t quite believe in the so-called Great Vajra Realm of a martial artist.

Because he himself had been unable to reach the Great Vajra Realm, which was why he specialized in Daoist secret arts.

If he, a Buddhist Great Grandmaster, couldn't achieve it, he didn't believe Li Chang’an could either.

The huge golden palm directly smashed through Gong Banque’s protective True Qi!

Gong Banque’s Vajra physique was instantly completely penetrated by the Dragon-Elephant True Qi!

“Such powerful Esoteric Buddhism True Qi!”

“It truly is the Great Vajra of a martial artist!”

However, at the same time his Vajra physique was pierced by True Qi, a strange Qi energy injected into Gong Banque’s body.

“Esoteric Buddhism Karmic Obstruction!”

“Li Chang’an, what are you doing?!”

Li Chang’an didn’t want to kill Gong Banque.

After all, he had no grievances with Wang Xianzhi, and Gong Banque already intended to leave.

“Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing. This King will use Esoteric Buddhism Karmic Obstruction to give Wang Xianzhi a difficult problem!”

“Isn’t he known as the second-ranked in the world?”

“If he can unravel this Advancing Karmic Obstruction, then it proves his ability is not bad.”

“But if he can’t unravel it, then I’ll trouble him to admit that this King is the number one in the world!”

Wang Xianzhi sent someone to help Zhao Heng merely out of a favor, as the two had almost no personal relationship.

Therefore, there was no need to annihilate Gong Banque.

Wang Xianzhi was a martial arts fanatic; he would definitely be very interested in such a difficult problem!

Gong Banque’s face turned ashen, “The effect of Karmic Obstruction is contrary to its name; this Advancing Karmic Obstruction means my cultivation cannot advance an inch!”

Li Chang’an nodded, “That’s right, no need to fight anymore. Go back to Martial Emperor City now.”

Gong Banque said nothing more, turned his head, and fled eastward.

That night, Prince Jing’an and Wang Linquan were sleepless.

The two had been waiting for news in the Prince’s residence all night, feeling extremely anxious.

Especially Wang Linquan; he was the most nervous.

To prevent Li Chang’an from being alerted, he hadn’t even had time to move his family.

He thought his secret betrayal of the Green Shirt Alliance was flawless, and no one would know.

Moreover, Zhao Heng had also promised to have Wei Dong prioritize protecting Wang Linquan’s family after ascending Tianmu Mountain.

Wang Linquan believed that in this matter, he had remained behind the scenes, so the risk should be small.

It was Prince Jing’an and his son who mobilized private troops and the Navy to deal with Li Chang’an, and it had nothing to do with Wang Linquan.

What he didn’t expect was that Li Chang’an knew even his most secret identity clearly.

In the latter half of the night, cavalry scouts returned first to report the news.

“Reporting to Your Highness!”

Prince Jing’an’s spirits were greatly boosted when he saw his silver-armored cavalry!

These were the cavalry he had recruited and trained at great expense; all six thousand men were elites.

Zhao Heng’s plan was for six thousand cavalry to charge directly at Li Chang’an’s central army, with four thousand infantry and twenty thousand naval forces following to cover the kill.

Zhao Xun and Wei Dong, leading ten top experts and another twenty thousand naval forces, would ascend Tianmu Mountain to encircle and suppress Li Chang’an.

“How is it? Did the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry break through Li Chang’an’s central army?”

“Did Xun’er and Commander Wei capture Li Chang’an?”

The cavalry scout’s face revealed bitterness, and his voice stammered, as he dared not speak.
