"Yes, Lord Shenhou, you don't know that during the time you were away from the court, His Majesty has lost his appetite and has been praying to Buddha for you day and night."
How could Zhao Gou not be worried? The power of the imperial city was extremely weak. Although an ordinary imperial city had a hundred thousand imperial guards, they were all useless in front of a peerless master like the Cold-Faced Demon Lord!
Zhao Gou was not praying for Zhuge Zhengwo, but was worried about his own safety.
Zhuge Zhengwo naturally knew that the emperor was the most ruthless, and that every action of the emperor had its own deep meaning, but this did not affect his emotions overcoming his reason.
After all, in this era, the idea of learning both literary and martial arts and being a merchant or imperial family is deeply rooted in people's minds.
After an extremely disgusting lawsuit between the king and his subjects.
Zhuge Zhengwo seemed to remember something: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. I heard that a young master has swept the three major cancers of the capital when I returned to the city this time. Your Majesty can rest assured in the future. And if the young knight can be summoned by the court, our dynasty may have another invincible figure like Xiao Qiushui in the next few decades to protect our borders."
But Zhao Gou did not show any happiness, instead he sighed heavily.
Zhuge Zheng looked at me and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing. It is for your peace of mind."
"Ugh!"
Mi Cangqiong's eyesight was so superb that the emperor could never say such a shameful thing as failing to kill Song Tianen.
So he recounted what had happened before on behalf of the emperor.
"Your Excellency Shen Hou doesn't know"
The more Zhuge Zheng listened, the more his brows furrowed. The emperor was still too hasty!
When Mi Cangqiong explained the whole story, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn and subtle. Zhuge Zhengwo knew that Zhao Gou's move was undoubtedly playing with fire and getting burned. Not only did it fail to eliminate the major worry in his heart, but it might also push a potential ally to the opposite side. He gently waved his feather fan, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed inappropriate." Zhuge Zhengwo spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "Song Tianen was able to quell the chaos in the capital for many years by himself, and his martial arts are already the best in the world. Even if I and my four disciples work together, we may not be able to defeat him 100%. My emperor is stupid, why would he provoke such a strong man for no reason? But there is a solution."
Zhao Gou's face changed slightly when he heard this. If other ministers dared to say this, he would have been furious. However, Zhuge Shenhou's loyalty was beyond doubt. He said that there must be a solution. Then he regained his composure. He sighed and said, "My dear minister, you are right. I was also confused for a while. However, Song Tianen is now powerful. What should I do?"
Zhuge Zhengwo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a plan that may be able to resolve this situation."
"Oh? My dear, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
"Drive away the wolf and devour the tiger! I have scouts who have learned that Li Chenzhou is in Fujian fighting a decisive battle with his old enemy Zhu Shunshui. We will pass on the intelligence of the dramatic changes in the capital to him. With Li Chenzhou's personality, he will definitely give up everything and fight a life-and-death battle with Song Tianen. If Song Tianen loses, the emperor's worries will naturally be eliminated!"
Mi Cangqiong frowned: "Lord Shenhou, what if this boy wins?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when our dynasty was first founded, Emperor Taizu made a vow to stop war with force and open up the way for talents. Your Majesty, why don't you follow the example of the predecessors and hold a martial arts conference to invite heroes from all over the world. If Song Tianen is hostile to our dynasty, we can take this opportunity to gather the strength of the entire martial arts world to attack him. If this guy likes fame, we can give him the honorary title of deputy leader of the martial arts world and let him serve us!" Zhuge Zhengwo talked freely.
Zhao Gou's frown gradually relaxed after hearing this. This was indeed a plan that would satisfy both parties. He nodded and said, "My dear minister, this is a very good plan. I will immediately issue an order to prepare for the martial arts conference. However, the selection of the host of this conference still needs to be carefully considered."
"Your Majesty, this matter can be left to me to arrange." Zhuge Zhengwo volunteered.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, my dear minister." Zhao Gou nodded with satisfaction, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
There was something that Zhuge Zhengwo naturally did not tell Zhao Gou Shen. This martial arts conference was naturally a good opportunity for him to expand Zhuge Zhengwo's influence!
There is only one position as the leader of the martial arts world, and Zhuge Zhengwo will take this opportunity to seize this high position. Most of the people in the southwestern martial arts world have old ties with him. He not only holds a high position in the government, but can also influence the martial arts world. His power is certainly unrivaled in the entire martial arts world.
It was really wonderful that Zhuge Zhengwo took advantage of Zhao Gou's trust and the time bomb of Song Tianen to further increase his power!
-
"shelf!"
They rode their horses madly in the capital city of Lin'an, walking on the snow and dark clouds.
Except for the urgent telegram from the military newspaper within 800 miles, all horse riding is prohibited in the capital. Violators will be killed without mercy!
But at this moment no one dared to stop the man on the horse, only because the man on the horse was Li Chenzhou, the leader of the Power Gang.
Everyone in the capital knows that there have been earth-shaking changes in the power list recently. Who dares to stop Li Chenzhou at this time?
At this moment, Li Chenzhou on horseback had a serious expression on his face. Ever since he wiped out Zhu Shunshui of the Black Water Hall, with whom he had a ten-year agreement, he received a letter from the capital thousands of miles away.
The Power Gang has undergone a huge change. The headquarters has been destroyed! Liu Wu is dead! Zhao Shirong has changed her mind!
Each of these three things alone was enough to make Li Chenzhou furious. When all three things happened together, Li Chenzhou was furious. He didn't care about anything else and immediately rode on his thousand-mile divine horse, galloping thousands of miles all the way from Fujian to the capital for three days and three nights without sleep.
When he rushed back to the Quanli Gang, Taxue Wuyun finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Li Chenzhou felt sad when he saw his beloved horse, which had been with him for many years, dying of exhaustion. However, the sadness could not suppress the fire of anger in his heart.
This is because the powerful gang he spent his entire life building now has a pool of blood below and a mountain of corpses above.
The corpses were piled up haphazardly in the huge martial arts arena, and some heads were even placed to form a Jingguan. Even after two days, and even with the sun shining, the dark red river of blood still hadn't dried up. The entire Power Gang had turned into a kitchen of horror.
"Sword King" Qu Hanshan was cut open, and the Yangshuo sword in his hand seemed to be melted into a pile of scrap metal by the pure Yang energy.
The "King of Swords" Zhao Qiuxi's limbs were cut off and thrown randomly in the square like garbage. It seemed that he had only one breath of life left. His face was dull and his speech was unclear. His eyes were cloudy and it seemed that his whole spirit was completely destroyed.
"Water King" Ju Xiushan and "Fire King" Zu Jindian both have sword energy holes all over their bodies!
The bronze fist, the iconic building of the Power Gang, was even cut into several pieces by Wu Tao's sword energy.
All in all, the Power Gang is destroyed!
"what!!!"
A roar of extreme grief and anger burst out from Li Chenzhou's mouth like a wounded and dying beast, and radiated in all directions like thunder.
The entire Lin'an City seemed to be able to hear this roar!
Countless people put down their work and turned their eyes to the power gang in the south of the city, even Zhao Gou in the imperial city.
From the royal family to the common people, everyone has a premonition that a shocking battle is about to begin. Will the cold-faced demon replace the old legend, or will the former king wash away the shame with blood?
The one that best represents the status of the leader of the Power Gang is naturally Moxingtai.
This platform has a total of one thousand and eighty steps. It is the highest point of the Power Gang and can also be said to be the highest point in the entire Lin'an City.
There is an extremely domineering throne on the platform. Sitting on it, one can overlook the entire city, even the imperial city is in sight. This makes the person sitting on it naturally have a feeling of dominating the world.
This is Li Chenzhou’s ambition.
However, with the destruction of the Power Gang, this ambition turned into a wishful thinking along with the sea of blood and mountains of corpses.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull footsteps were not obstructed at all.
Song Tianen stood up from the throne, turned around and looked at Li Chenzhou, the number one figure of the younger generation in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Li Chenzhou was of medium build, not even as strong as Shen Huchan who was as big as a bear. But when he stood there casually, he was like a mountain standing still in the abyss, with an extraordinary bearing.
This is completely different from the legendary image of the overlord that everyone has passed down, but Song Tianen knows that this is because the other party has cultivated his true energy to the realm of returning to nature. His true energy is restrained and hidden, so his body shape has become ordinary, but the sense of oppression has doubled!
"You're here! I've been waiting for you."
Song Tianen spoke as if he was chatting with an old friend; his tone was calm and natural, without even a hint of hostility.
Li Chenzhou had suppressed the anger in his eyes at this moment, because the anger would not disturb him in the future. Instead, he looked at Song Tianen with the most cautious eyes, just like he looked at Yan Kuangtu with 100,000 points of concentration. From Song Tianen's every move, even his breathing and eye expressions, he could infer his background.
Unfortunately, this boy is just like him. All his training of muscles and bones and internal Qi training has returned to its original state and is not visible on the outside. His spirit and Qi are all restrained inwardly and round, making it impossible to see any clues.
However, the true Qi that was detected could not advance even an inch outside the opponent's body, let alone lock onto him. This made Li Chenzhou even have an illusion that although he could see the opponent with his eyes, the opponent was like an invisible person in terms of Qi.
This situation can only mean one thing, that is, the other party's cultivation is either equal to his, or even higher than his!
Li Chenzhou frowned! This showed that he was beginning to take it seriously and recognized Song Tianen as his enemy.
Next, he will exert 100% of his fighting power to fight his opponent to the death!
Li Chenzhou's emotionless and hoarse voice sounded.
"Women are like clothes, and brothers are like limbs. I don't blame you for kidnapping the woman I love. On the contrary, I will respect Zhao Shirong's choice. But you should never kill my brother Liu Wu and the thousands of brothers and sisters in the whole gang."
Song Tianen chuckled: "Your brothers all wanted to kill me, so they attacked me first; all I did was defend and counterattack. As for the situation like this, I can only blame them for not being good enough in martial arts!"
“Not good enough in learning? Not good enough in learning! Hahaha! Well said!” Li Chenzhou was not angry but happy when he heard that. He suddenly laughed loudly. His laughter was so loud that it sounded like a dragon roaring in the sky. For a moment, a strong wind blew and the sea of clouds surged. “The grudges in the martial arts world are left to the martial arts world! Today, I will seek justice for my disciples who are not good enough in learning!”
"Justice? What kind of justice? Only your brothers can kill me, and I can only stretch out my neck to be killed? Since you are a martial artist, you need to know that those who kill will be killed!"
"No! You misunderstood what I said. What I meant by fairness is that what I, Li Chenzhou, said is fairness!"
"Great skill is hidden in the clumsy and strange!"
There is no point in talking to each other. The two have very different values on right and wrong, and they have a blood feud, so the only option is to fight to the death.
Song Tianen suddenly felt a purple shadow flash before his eyes, and then a strong wind like a tornado rushed towards him.
This punch was the most common forward punch in martial arts, but when Li Chenzhou performed the Thirty-Six Wonders of the World, this punch was so majestic that it covered the heaven and the earth.
Even the fist has its own thunder tornado.
Facing this punch, there is a feeling of being locked down, with nowhere to hide, both in heaven and on earth.
Song Tianen believed that anyone caught in this punch would die miserably.
However, even with this punch, Li Chenzhou still missed.
He watched his fist blast through Song Tianen's body: "It's an illusion!"
The real Song Tianen had already come behind Li Chenzhou using the Yin-Yang Sky Steps.
"Scorching Sun Overturning Sky Palm!" A palm suddenly swept across the void, thousands of feet of light flashed, and the vast flames cut through the darkness and tore through the dark sky.
The pair of fleshy palms were emitting flames and were scorching hot!
When one palm strikes out, ten thousand palms strike out!
I saw that the hundred-foot platform of Moxingtai was filled with flaming palms.
Li Chenzhou frowned, because he actually saw the shadow of his own Thirty Ways to Overturn the Sky - Strange Move in this move.
But there is no time to think about it now!
"Odd and even cross each other and cover the canopy"
hum!
Li Chenzhou immediately supported the protective qi of the chaotic world in all the acupoints of his body! The strange and positive qi intersected up and down, forming a protective qi wall like a canopy!
Song Tianen's Fiery Sun Flipping Palms were like falling meteors, each of them carrying the momentum to burn everything, however when they collided with Li Chenzhou's protective qi, it was like a tide encountering an indestructible dam, stirring up layers of air waves, and the entire sky above the Moxing Terrace seemed to be shrouded in a web of countless flames and qi, the scene was spectacular and terrifying.
"What a good move of Qi Zheng Jiao Fu Hua Gai, but your internal energy seems not enough to withstand my scorching sun." Song Tianen's voice was particularly clear amid the roar of the flames. His figure appeared and disappeared in the firelight like a ghost, making it difficult to grasp his true location.
In just a few breaths, Li Chenzhou had no idea how many punches he had taken!
Even the thick air wall seemed to have large dents.
Li Chenzhou snorted coldly.
"The Chaos Tent exudes strange energy, the net of heaven and earth, nothing can escape!" Li Chenzhou shouted, and the true energy in his body surged. The airflow around him seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. The Chaos Tent embraced the heaven and earth. When this move was made, the chaotic energy formed a huge net and enveloped Song Tianen. This net not only blocked the space, but also tried to capture Song Tianen's breath and figure, making him nowhere to escape. (End of this chapter)
