Chapter 432: Chapter 180: Fratricide and Patricide, Li Treading Immortal... Requests Duke Tongye to Abdicate and Succeed the Title!
But at this moment, Li Treading Immortal, who was ’favored by the people’... is just what everyone expects!
If this young man wanted to kill him today, Li Qiankun believed he could hardly escape.
So the best plan now is to rise from despair!
Originally, he had predicted that Li Xuanzong wouldn’t dare to kill him, so he dared to cross the river alone in white, intending to persuade Tongye’s mighty troops to come under his command, but now it seems...
The calculation has probably failed.
Unable to continue, he could only threaten with death!
Pei Nanbei’s lips slightly parted, feeling an overwhelming pressure crashing down, causing the golden silk mask on half of her face to clang noisily.
Instinctively, she felt some fear and tightened her grip on her clothes.
But she saw a young man in front, calm and indifferent, without any movement.
She then realized that she couldn’t embarrass him, so she puffed out her chest. Even if the palm wind was like knife frost sword, causing her skin to ache, she didn’t flinch.
"I want to..."
"Stay by his side!"
The girl, somewhat stubborn, held the sword sheath.
At this time, Jixia slightly turned his eyes, witnessing this scene, he couldn’t help but show surprise, then gently said:
"Are you alright?"
Pei Nanbei shook her little head, pale-faced, yet Jixia already responded with an ’Oh’ and, in a blink, channeled his magical power, and calmly said:
"You scared my maid."
Then his vitality surged, he summoned the Dragon Tiger Divine Power, gathering the mastery refined from no less than six cultivation techniques like ’Mountain and River Returning Yuan Qi’, ’Scripture of Inner Illumination of the Divine Soul’, ’Life and Death Force’... into one.
With the operation of ’Primordial Spirit Nirvana Skill’, just one Sword Move!
Even though Jixia had never practiced Sword Moves.
But he still slashed through the palm wind, tearing flesh and even... splitting the domains of two Celestial Beings!
Under Li Qiankun’s shocked expression, he was about to take his head when Li Xuanzong exclaimed, intending to stop him:
"Fourth brother, after all, he is Father’s blood and bones, plus the Marquis Hu Wei is just in front of the mansion, standing off for a while. If he’s slain, I fear..."
Jixia’s sword never paused, never hesitated.
He merely glanced around and said:
"Fear what?"
At this moment, his expression seemed to overlap with a figure from half a year ago at this very Tongye Duke’s Mansion, transcending time and space...
"Soldiers come, general blocks, water comes, earth covers."
"Today, I kill him Li Qiankun."
"Regardless of whether it’s Marquis Hu Wei or Grandmaster Dong of Great Yin coming tomorrow..."
"Since I, Li Treading Immortal, have descended the mountain, there’s no reason to fear."
"Let them come then."
"I’ll stand here..."
"Waiting!"
The same figure, once with sleeves fluttering, donned in a white robe with long hair and beard, like an Exiled Immortal.
Now in a dark Prison-Suppression Robe, wielding a Demon-slaying Sword, in youthful guise, ready to challenge a ’Prince’.
At this moment, just like that moment.
It marked the end of an old era and the rise of a new one.
Under Li Xuanzong’s speechless gaze...
Slowly,
A head rolled, spilling down within this Duke’s Mansion!
Then, Jixia stepped forward leisurely, in the pin-drop silent courtyard, smiling as he gazed into the depths of the inner hall:
"The old Duke is old, the blade is dull."
"Second brother, how can you continue to lead the Tongye Duke’s Mansion forward, to keep existing in this chaotic world?"
Li Xuanzong’s eyes narrowed, his spine suddenly chilled:
"You..."
He was initially prepared to split the world with Jixia, even letting him take the lead, but...
Looking at the unfamiliar ’younger brother’ before him, Li Xuanzong realized...
He still underestimated this usually ’gentle and refined’ fourth brother, as easygoing as the eldest brother who lost his head!
He wasn’t here to ally.
He was here to seize power!
Li Xuanzong hadn’t had time to intervene.
He saw Jixia, unconcerned, boldly heading towards Li Shen Yao’s residence:
"Three months ago, when the Duke was still well, he promised me the position of ’Crown Prince’, at that time he was still in his prime."
"Now... he is severely injured on the sickbed, causing people to sigh."
"At this critical juncture."
"With Western demons, Eastern Divine Blood Prince, eyeing covetously, a slightest mistake, and these foundations could be devoured by others, it’s said that conquering a country is easy, but defending it is hard, I, Li Treading Immortal... can’t bear it!"
"Brother Xuanzong, this bitter task, you’re holding it like it’s about to collapse, seeing it makes me really uncomfortable, so it’s better to..."
The young man, emerging from the mountain, rising slowly, seemed harmless to human and animals.
But from this moment onward, he revealed his fangs:
"Let me."
"Entrust the Tongye Duke’s Mansion to me."
"In the future..."
"The Li clan won’t end up... without descendants!!"
...
The Duke lay on his sickbed. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Li Shen Yao, haggard in appearance, hearing the commotion, squinted with difficulty, rasping:
"Cough cough cough!"
"Is it Xuanzong?"
"Outside... what’s the noise, has the ’Great Demon Hunter Master’ come?"
Creak!
Just as he was inquiring.
The door gap suddenly widened.
Then, a young man, so familiar to him, strode in, unheeding of others.
At the same time, with a strength of the ’Celestial Human Domain’, it was evident, making Li Shen Yao greatly shocked, ready to speak, but then...
He was completely suppressed by that young man’s outrageously proud words!
"As the saying goes, the strong rule, let me, the hero dare only to compete for the forefront!"
"Since I am in the orthodox, just as the foundation is in peril, if I don’t enter hell, who will?"
"Father, brother Xuanzong, can’t come."
Snap!
Jixia raised his hand.
A refined head was directly thrown under Li Shen Yao’s bed, specifically the head of ’Li Qiankun’!
"Li Treading Immortal..."
"Came today to inherit the ’Tongye Duke’s Mansion’, please..."
"Father abdicate!"
