Calm Lake Mountain
The sun rose above the clouds, painting the mountain with a layer of gold. Pei Zi Yun looked at King Lu's retreating back as well as the row of demon soldiers below him. All sorts of memories from the past flooded into his mind.
Although he had some achievements in his previous life, he died in a car accident.
Although the original owner had powerful weapons, he was trapped in many ways and died a useless death.
Only now could he break through everything.
'So … Although it feels like I've been through so much, it's only been six years.'
Pei Zi Yun's vision blurred as he closed his eyes. The emotions he had been suppressing for a long time exploded out of him. Although he had thousands of words to say, he only managed to say one sentence.
'... The Dao Monarch is gone, the Great Ancestor is dead. From now on, this is my world.'
With a wave of his hand, a halberd appeared in his hands. He then stepped forward.
"Dong dong dong!" Actually, King Lu's decision to retreat was the right thing to do. As King Lu retreated, the sound of drums could be heard. The demon soldiers cheered loudly, their spirits lifted.
"Kill!" A demon general let out a loud roar and led the demon soldiers to charge forward. Their speed instantly reached the limit.
"Damn it!" Pei Zi Yun shouted out as the demon soldiers stopped in their tracks. Only the demon general wasn't affected. However, this created a situation where he was alone.
"Die!" With a wave of his halberd, a cold light flashed. The demon general's entire body shook violently as he tried to dodge to the side at an unimaginable speed.
Too late.
"Pu!" Although he managed to avoid being hit, the cold light still pierced through his armor, causing blood to spurt out from his mouth. The next moment, the demon general fell to the ground, dead.
A demonic spirit flashed as it tried to escape, but it disappeared without a trace.
In the next moment, he waved his right hand as the tip of his halberd shone with a golden light. The demon soldiers that had stopped in their tracks were split in half.
"Shoot!"
The sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard as they flew towards him like a rain of locusts.
"Ding ding!" Pei Zi Yun didn't even bother to block the arrows as they landed on his body. However, they only pierced through his clothes and caused sparks to fly off his skin. It was as if they had hit an iron pillar.
The halberd flashed once more as cries of agony rang out. The demon soldiers who were already exhausted couldn't even withstand a single round of attacks as they were killed.
"Kill!" Several demon generals charged towards him, their speed was as fast as lightning.
Pei Zi Yun raised his halberd and shouted, "Intimidate!"
This time, it was a mental attack. With a hong sound, even though it was a Fiend General, it still fainted for a moment. However, this moment was enough. An arc of light shot out, carrying with it wind and lightning.
"Wind Lightning Chop!"
Whether it was a person's body or armor, they were like paper when they encountered this. With a series of ripping sounds, the four Demonic Beast Generals were cut into eight pieces, and they coughed out a thick mist of blood. Their momentum did not decrease, and they killed another batch of Demonic Beast Soldiers behind them.
"Ahhh —" The Demon General and Demon Soldier, who only had half a body left, had yet to die. They wailed pitifully. "Die!" Amidst the angry roar, a demon general dressed in black armor with gold inlaid pounced forward. His resolute face was expressionless as he raised his spear and stabbed forward. It was an extremely clever move.
"This person must have been an expert in the army."
"It's even more powerful after transforming into a demon."
"It's just that there's no difference when you meet me now." Pei Zi Yun's halberd slashed out, and a loud "clang" could be heard as he blocked the enemy's spear. However, a terrifying force traveled up the spear, causing the Demon General's entire body to tremble. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he fell backwards.
"No, impossible …" The Demon General revealed a look of disbelief and despair. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. It turned out that he had been sliced in half, and a pillar of blood shot up into the sky.
On the battlefield, everyone had underestimated Pei Zi Yun.
The Dao Monarch had also undergone the Cast Iron Bronze Imbuement. However, in terms of mastery of Dao Arts, he might not be able to surpass Pei Zi Yun, much less reach Pei Zi Yun's level of martial arts.
Pei Zi Yun's martial arts had already reached the limits of what a human could achieve in this world. When combined with Dao Arts, and the Cast Iron Bronze Imbuement, it wasn't a simple addition, but a multiplier.
King Lu had already reached the safe zone. When he saw the commotion, he revealed a fierce look, "I don't believe that you've really become a Cast Iron Bronze Imbuement. All of you, listen to my command. Block the path for a while. When you lose your morale, I shall kill you myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he conjured a series of hand seals, causing the Reincarnation Platform to tremble. Waves of demonic energy emanated from it, and the blood mist from the pool permeated the entire battlefield.
"Aowuu." The demon soldiers were nourished by the blood mist, and their morale and stamina were greatly boosted. The horn of war rang out, and the entire demon army began to charge forward.
"Kill!" Thousands of demon soldiers shouted out as they charged forward.
"Go to hell!" The halberd spat out energy from his body, and within a radius of ten feet, all the demon soldiers and generals who charged forward were killed instantly. They didn't even have time to unleash a second attack.
"Soldiers who fight with righteous indignation will win? It's a pity that the disparity in strength is too great. Even the most ferocious battle will be useless. "
To Pei Zi Yun, the demon soldiers who were charging forward were just like ants that were sent to their deaths. Within moments, the corpses of the demon soldiers piled up, and started to charge towards King Lu.
Along the way, the halberd danced in the air like a gigantic dragon. Wherever it passed, the demon soldiers and generals died. Once there were too many of them, Pei Zi Yun didn't hesitate as he raised his halberd, "Deterrence – Wind and Thunder Slash!"
A wave of energy rippled out, and the moment the demon soldiers came into contact with the energy ripple, their bodies trembled. Following that, a ray of light shot through the air with the power of wind and thunder. More than ten people around him had a line of blood appear on their abdomen as they fell to the ground.
In an instant, Pei Zi Yun had cleared out a radius of thirty feet around him. At this point, he had already reached the foot of the mountain. He then leapt onto a horse and sped towards King Lu.
The horse charged forward, and the halberd flashed as blood splattered everywhere. Several demon generals surrounded Pei Zi Yun and attacked him from all sides. Sparks flew everywhere, and with another flash, they were all dismembered.
"Ah ah ah —" Even if the demon soldiers and generals had a secret technique, they couldn't maintain their morale at this point. They were on the verge of collapsing, and screamed as they turned around to flee.
Pei Zi Yun urged his horse and charged towards King Lu at an extremely fast speed. Seeing that the situation was dire, King Lu shouted out, "Draw closer to the main camp."
Hundreds of riders surrounded King Lu as they made their way towards the main camp.
Li Pan and Huang Yuanzhen were leading the army as they approached. When they saw this, they were stumped, "What's going on? A general chasing after a thousand riders? "
At this point, someone from the Records Department rushed forward and panted heavily, "My two imperial envoys, the one running in front is King Lu, and the one chasing after him is a True Sovereign."
"What?" Both of them were taken aback as they turned around and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Although King Lu has been stripped of his title, he is after all the Emperor's son. One look and you can tell that he's a True Sovereign. True Sovereign isn't an ordinary person either, and can tell that he's a True Sovereign as well."
As soon as these words entered their ears, the two imperial envoys shuddered. Li Pan mumbled, "True Sovereign … Is he really that powerful?"
Huang Yuanzhen was the first to realize what was going on. She took a look and sucked in a breath of cold air. She then hurriedly said, "Let's go and meet him. We can't let the True Sovereign kill King Lu."
Li Pan came to his senses as well as he patted his horse. He didn't wait for the rest of the army behind him as he led the imperial envoys forward, "Yes, yes. We can't let the True Sovereign kill King Lu."
Pei Zi Yun clapped his hands together as a gust of wind appeared beneath him. His horse felt as though it was being carried by the wind as it galloped at full speed. It seemed as though he was about to catch up to King Lu.
The demon riders who were lagging behind were all killed by him.
At this point, there was a loud shout as the ten demon generals charged towards Pei Zi Yun. They were prepared to fight to the death.
"Your courage is commendable, but it's useless."
"Numb."
"Awe."
"Flash."
The demon generals were either unable to move or unable to see. A cold light flashed past King Lu's eyes. All he could see was that the ten demon generals behind him had all fallen to the ground.
King Lu could no longer maintain his composure as he ran towards the main camp and shouted, "I am King Lu, the son of the Founding Emperor. I surrender to my elder brother."
This shout was heard by everyone in the main camp. Everyone's expressions were extremely interesting. They didn't expect King Lu to react in such a way. The two imperial envoys looked at each other before shouting, "Quick, stop him."
Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but laugh, "King Lu lives up to his name. Such decisiveness, such thick skin."
As he finished speaking, he increased his speed towards King Lu. King Lu's legs were trembling as he shouted, "Xie Dong Cheng, why aren't you protecting me?"
A sigh could be heard as the last four riders turned around to face King Lu.
"Keng, keng, keng, keng!"
After four strikes, the four riders spat out a mouthful of blood as they shouted, "No …."
"Wind and Thunder Slash!"
A ray of light flashed through the air as it sliced through the air. Three of the demon generals screamed out in pain as they were sliced in half at the waist. Only one of them managed to raise his long spear to block the attack. There was a "pu" sound as a red line sliced through the air.
Xie Dong Cheng let out a long sigh as he stood in front of Pei Zi Yun, "Who would've thought that I wouldn't even be able to block a few moves from you. Thinking back to when we first met in Ying Prefecture, if only I could kill you with all my might. How good would that be?"
At this point, the imperial envoys were nearing. Pei Zi Yun's eyes gleamed as he laughed, "It's a pity that even if there's a medicine for regret, it's not something you can have. Don't waste time, die."
Lightning flashed, and a cold light flashed. Xie Dong Cheng groaned as he was split into two halves. A wisp of his primordial spirit tried to escape, but it too disappeared in a flash.
Without anyone blocking his path, Pei Zi Yun urged his horse forward and was nearing King Lu. King Lu panicked as he shouted out to the imperial envoys, "I am the son of the Founding Ancestor. Why aren't you protecting me?"
Li Pan and Huang Yuan Zhen hurriedly shouted out, "True Sovereign, please wait. The Emperor wishes to spare King Lu's life."
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun wasn't paying attention to them, Huang Yuan Zhen shouted out, "Pei Zi Yun, are you going to defy the Emperor's orders?"
At this point, Pei Zi Yun laughed out, as he raised his halberd. A cold light flashed, and a scream was heard. A line of blood appeared on King Lu's abdomen, as his upper body fell to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief as the shadow of a dragon flashed before disappearing.
Li Pan and Huang Yuan Zhen were only a few feet away when they saw this. They were enraged as they pointed at Pei Zi Yun, "You traitor …." Before they could finish speaking, they saw Pei Zi Yun laugh out as he raised his halberd once more. Both of them felt their hair stand on end. Just as they were about to react, another cold light flashed past them. The two imperial envoys had looks of disbelief on their faces as they fell to the ground as well.
The entire camp behind them was in an uproar, as they were still half a mile away from Pei Zi Yun.
After killing King Lu and the imperial envoys, Pei Zi Yun looked at the capital city once more before laughing out loud.
The camp was in a daze. The tens of thousands of people didn't make any noise. After a while, a eunuch with a pale face screamed, "Quick, quickly report this information to His Majesty."
