Free Web NovelChapter 442: Chapter 184: Facing the True Master Head-On—Second Only to One, Commanding Thousands, in the Blink of an Eye... Three Years Have Passed!
Rumble, rumble!
A series of earth-shattering explosions.
The four city gates of Tongye shattered. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Under the trampling of the Tiger Wei Cavalry, painstakingly selected and hailed as one in a thousand for their top-notch skills, the Tongye Mansion appeared exceedingly fragile, unable to withstand a single blow.
Marquis Hu Wei, Lv Xiantian, wielded his spear and rode his horse, standing at the forefront of the army. From a distance of tens of miles, he shattered the massive gate with a single spear, akin to an ancient demon god, pulling up massive forces.
The cavalry surged like a torrent, charging into the city.
"The warlords of Great Yin have attacked!"
"Run, run!"
Countless commoners fled in terror, their eyes filled with fear, causing chaos in the streets and alleys.
Lv Xiantian, unhurriedly and steadily, led his soldiers in. He glanced casually, spotting the gathering armored warriors in the distance, and couldn’t help but frown slightly:
"..."
"Li Xuanzong."
"You want to lead your troops to stop me?"
The Tiger Wei Cavalry, their iron-clad faces, collectively raised their heads and saw the opposite figure gripping a long blade. He led the Tongye armored warriors, whom he was originally supposed to bring to the Ten Extremes Mansion, his pupils exuding a stern killing intent.
"This Marquis heard you fell short in the power struggle."
"That Li Treading Immortal killed your brother and forced your father to die. Now he’s in the city. By rights, you should call me ’uncle’ and let me avenge the Li Family. Is this how you stop me?"
Marquis Hu Wei’s gaze was domineering, his horse’s hooves thundering, shaking the very stones, and the Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd in his hand pointed directly at Li Xuanzong.
But since he was already here.
Li Xuanzong had already made his preparations.
The last words of Li Shen Yao echoed in his ears, and unconsciously, his expression began to gradually relax, exuding a calm composure:
"Before my father died, he personally passed the position of Duke Tongye to Li Treading Immortal and sent me to Ten Extremes Mansion to guard the land and expand the territory for Tongye."
"Qiankun, my brother, acted recklessly, severing ties with the Li Family and parting ways from that moment on."
"Marquis Hu Wei, your fierce approach, there’s no revenge to be had, what revenge are you talking about."
Lv Xiantian squinted his eyes, lifting the spear tip, stirring with a soldier’s sharpness, nearly overturning the entire street. He looked at Li Xuanzong, who stood like a mantis against a carriage, his gaze gradually indifferent:
"No revenge?"
"Xuanzong, in that case, don’t blame this Marquis for not giving your Li Family a chance."
"Stabbing King Yin, killing the Master’s Legitimate Daughter, your maternal grandson..."
"These deeds, one after another, make revenge irrelevant."
"If he does not die,"
"Wouldn’t the people of the world think Great Yin is cowardly, and the Grandmaster incompetent?"
Swish!
In an instant, he stirred his long spear, like an enraged dragon emerging from the sea, leaping straight from horseback, gathering the spirit of an entire army as he charged straight into Li Xuanzong’s formation!
Bang, bang, bang!
The three thousand armored warriors brought by Li Xuanzong were instantly thrown into chaos by Lv Xiantian’s fierce assault. People and horses toppled over, with swords, spears, axes, and halberds showering down upon him!
Yet the silhouette with clashing muscles and roaring blood, creating waves of energy.
Seemed like an ancient giant beast in human disguise. Once it revealed its fangs...those mortal weapons, even Primordial Pill Masters couldn’t come within three feet, they’d be shattered to pieces!
Not to mention ordinary Innate and Foundation Establishment soldiers.
With his tall figure wielding the spear across the sea as if in a land of no one, his ebony hair swept by the long wind, Lv Xiantian bore no injuries, like an ancient divine peak suppressing mountains, a single person...
Broke through three thousand armored warriors!
Moreover, they were elite soldiers systematically studying military tactics and led by a commanding general.
In past times, even those who had opened the Celestial Human Domain wouldn’t dare, as they would be dragged to death, but...
In him, it became a reality by brute force!
"Bravo!"
Behind him, a torrent of Tiger Wei Cavalry shouted, shaking the entire Wutong Prefecture three times!
This was a battle fundamentally unequal for both sides.
Yet after Li Xuanzong’s teeth clenched...
He resolutely, spear in hand, stepped forward!
...
On one side of the eaves.
There was a magnificent woman, standing on the flying eaves, watching the scene with a focused gaze.
"Princess, don’t go down..."
"Although you are acquainted with Li Treading Immortal, your identities and positions now have determined that you and he cannot stand on the same side."
"King Yin sent you to Fuyao State, and with the resurgence of cultivation, the old general once hailed as ’Great Profound Military Saint,’ has advanced further, becoming a True Master, supporting the Xuan Dynasty Remnant Lineage to rise in Fuyao State."
"And the ’Red Eyebrow Army’ of Changbai State was cultivated by him. That ’Heaven-Soaring General’ Yellow Dragon Dao is his protégé, highly regarded, and King Yin, in name, plans for you to marry him."
"If you stay in Fuyao State, you could immediately control two states, becoming the first duke under Great Yin!"
"Much better than trekking a thousand miles, exhausting yourself to come to this troubled Tongye State..."
The woman was none other than Luo Fuyao, who bid farewell to Jixia on Nirvana Mountain.
The one speaking beside her was her maid, Shangguan Qingzhu, whom she promoted single-handedly from the Great Yin Palace after unraveling her fate.
From a mere palace maid to the current devoted follower of ’Princess Fu Yao,’ a Primordial Pill Master, Shangguan Qingzhu owed everything to Luo Fuyao, thus she remained loyal to her.
Therefore...
As Luo Fuyao left without a word, abandoning the vast foundation of Fuyao State and journeying to the ’center of the vortex’ in Tongye State, her heart was filled with both indignation and resentment towards Li Treading Immortal.
More than half a year ago.
King Yin repeatedly tried to summon ’Li Treading Immortal’ through Luo Fuyao, to win over Master Zuo Shanhe or put him to use, but the Princess refused, even at the cost of offending King Yin.
