Imperial City, Heavenly Gate
Even the guards at the gate were nowhere to be seen.
Pei Zi Yun waved his hand, and the halberd landed in his hands. He then stepped inside. Although there was no sound from within, he could see three majestic halls in the distance. The passageway was filled with soldiers, all of them were the cream of the crop. Their physiques were as strong as bears, and they were fully armored. Not a single sound could be heard, and the entire place was suffocating.
A huge cauldron was placed in front of the main hall, and was still burning with incense.
More than twenty officers escorted Eunuch Huang out. Eunuch Huang was extremely courteous as he bowed and said, "True Sovereign, you've been wronged. This is all a misunderstanding. As long as True Sovereign leaves, the Imperial Court will give you a clear explanation."
"This book couldn't be any better." Pei Zi Yun smiled, "It's just that you've already given me an explanation the last time. It's the lives of Tong Lin's entire family. It hasn't even been two months!"
"Now that things have come to this, you're still trying to bully me?"
"True Sovereign, why must you be so stubborn?" Eunuch Huang's face was as white as a sheet. He looked at Pei Zi Yun and said, "True Sovereign, you should know that if this were to continue, no one would be able to salvage the situation!"
Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Actually, it's pretty obvious."
"The Imperial Court has listed out ten major crimes for me. They are: Treason, Deceit, Arrogance, Tyranny, Cruelty, Greed, Corruption, etc. Actually, I've offended the Imperial Court, not because I'm a Daoist, not because of any of these, and not because of my achievements. It's because I have powers that are beyond the control of the Imperial Court."
"With such powers, it's either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind."
"If we don't fight, we'll respect each other. One man can build a country, and the Imperial Court will not stop." Pei Zi Yun's tone was calm, "Even if I were to leave now, would the Imperial Court stop?"
"Might as well end this once and for all." Pei Zi Yun's words were like metal and stone. Although he was facing an army, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear. All he felt was melancholy.
Although Eunuch Huang's words were gentle, the doors were shut tight. The powers from the outside world had been cut off, and the entire palace was filled with an aura of authority and killing intent.
Eunuch Huang's words were thirty percent sincere in persuading Pei Zi Yun. The other seventy percent was to stall for time so that he could activate the spell. Pei Zi Yun, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. He had no intention of interrupting Eunuch Huang.
Sometimes, it is necessary to break the enemy's backbone in one fell swoop in an upright and upright manner. If one resorts to trickery, many, many schemes will arise.
Eunuch Huang witnessed this scene and knew that it would be difficult to resolve this matter peacefully. He waved his hand and sighed, "If that's the case, we can only fight to the death with the True Sovereign. Rise!"
"Boom!" The salutes rang out in unison, shaking the earth and making it tremble.
"Long live our Emperor, long live, long live!" The seven thousand people shouted like a tsunami. The dragon flags crisscrossed, and the great formation was instantly activated.
Boom! Pei Zi Yun felt his vision darken, as a mountain-like pressure pressed down on him. Forget about trying to connect with the heavenly secrets, he couldn't even circulate the energy in his body properly.
This was the power of the Dao that the billions of citizens of Da Xu had cultivated. It was like a mountain pressing down on him. Pei Zi Yun's movements were sluggish, and sparks had already appeared on his bronze body.
"Powerful!" Pei Zi Yun nodded his head in praise. He then raised his hand and shouted, "Lightning, come!"
A crackling sound could be heard as the lightning flashed. The faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard, and the lightning was extinguished.
"Flash!"
"Shock!"
"Numb!"
Similarly, the moment the ripples appeared, they were immediately dissipated.
"So that's how it is?"
"No wonder other than casting iron and pouring bronze, there's no way to defend against it." Pei Zi Yun threw his head back and laughed out loud. This time, it was effective. Those who were standing close to him felt a piercing pain in their ears.
"Again!" He then lifted his leg and stomped on the ground. A loud "boom" could be heard as the green stone pavement was disintegrated into dust. The dust formed a ring shape as it shot out in all directions.
"Pu, pu, pu." A series of screams could be heard as the soldiers in the front row fell to the ground.
'So it seems that only physics, or in other words, the powers hidden within physics, have the power to kill?' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he understood everything.
From afar, eunuch Huang saw this scene and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He had never seen or heard of such power before.
"Luckily, the Seven Dragons Absolute Spiritual Array only blocks the power of the enemy. The rest is up to the armored soldiers to kill them!" Eunuch Huang thought to himself as he shouted, "I'm here to kill the rebels. Kill!"
"Kill kill kill!" The armored soldiers moved in unison, holding their weapons in their hands as they advanced towards Pei Zi Yun. When they were about ten steps away, they shouted and charged forward.
"Boom!" In the next moment, Pei Zi Yun opened his mouth and roared. The sound waves emitted from his mouth as he charged into the formation, "Wind and Thunder Slash!"
With a wave of his halberd, a dazzling crescent appeared. It was different from before. It did not fly out, but instead stuck to the edge of the halberd.
"Pu pu!" Although the dozen or so armored soldiers were wearing heavy armor, they were torn apart like paper, and a thick mist of blood sprayed out from their mouths.
"Ah ah —"
The soldiers who were left with only half of their bodies were not dead yet. Their hands were clawing wildly as they screamed in agony. Facing such a tragic scene, it was beyond everyone's imagination. The armored soldiers were stunned as they revealed a look of fear.
This was the effect that Pei Zi Yun wanted.
"Kill!" Pei Zi Yun charged into the formation. However, these soldiers were after all handpicked soldiers from the millions of soldiers in the country. After their initial shock, they shouted out loud and charged into the formation.
"Eunuch Huang, this technique is indeed powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy." At the command post, Feng Min saw the change in Eunuch Huang's expression and hurriedly said, "I don't think Pei Zi Yun will be able to use this technique many times."
Hearing these words, Eunuch Huang's expression changed for the better. However, the generals on the left had a change of expression on their faces. They saw Pei Zi Yun killing his way through the enemy's formation, wielding his halberd. Wherever he went, not a single general was able to withstand his attacks.
"Is this the state of being one with the heavens?" A general turned around and asked someone. This person was not a general, but was wielding a sword. He looked like someone from the pugilistic world. His face was solemn as he stared intently at Pei Zi Yun, "Yes, his entire body moves naturally. He moves with the halberd, unstoppable. This is the state of being one with the heavens."
"Not all True Sovereigns are Grandmasters."
Just as he said this, he heard a loud shout as an officer clad in heavy armor charged towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun didn't even budge. He took a small step forward. Strangely enough, this single step allowed him to avoid several heavy attacks. Several swords and blades slashed at him, causing sparks to fly. Amidst the sparks, a cold light flashed, and the officer was sliced in two. He fell to the ground, spitting out blood and internal organs, splattering all over the soldiers around him.
"Kill, die for the country!" One of the soldiers stretched out his hand and wiped the blood off his body as he shouted out loud. His voice was so loud that it made everyone's blood freeze.
Following this shout, the soldiers around him charged forward without a care for their own safety. Even if they had to use their bodies and lives, they had to hold Pei Zi Yun down, preventing him from moving.
"Wind and Thunder Slash!" A loud roar rang out.
The cold light of the crescent moon appeared once again.
"Pu pu!" This time, the soldier who had pounced forward was the same as the last time. He spat out a thick mist of blood. Following this, Pei Zi Yun dashed forward with extreme speed. He waved his halberd, and a dazzling light shone from it. The officer who had shouted loudly was decapitated.
Following this, every time the halberd flashed, fresh blood would spurt out. In an instant, the air was filled with all sorts of limbs.
His speed was too fast, to the point that one couldn't even hear the sound of swords clashing against each other. In less than a minute, more than a hundred soldiers were dead. Because they died too quickly, thick blood spurted out from their wounds, forming a small pool.
"Kill!" After killing a hundred soldiers, Pei Zi Yun did not hesitate as he charged into the next formation.
Although there were seven thousand people, he was only one person and the space was limited. Thus, the ones who could surround him were only square formations of a hundred people at most.
"Kill!" Blood Qi, the death of their comrades and the stimulation of the Imperial Qi caused the soldiers to go crazy. They did not care about the halberd at all. The first officer saw the halberd but did not dodge it. Instead, he smiled and swung his blade.
"Dang dang" Two of the officers' blades slashed down, one at his abdomen and the other at his shoulder. Only then did he smile. Blood spurted out from his mouth as the officer's skull was sliced open like tofu. Large blobs of red and white matter oozed out from his skull. Without a sound, he fell to the ground.
The bodies of the people around him suddenly moved and fell forward.
There were not many people left in the second hundred soldiers. The remaining ten or so soldiers cried out in anger and charged forward.
In the next moment, they screamed in agony, causing the blood in their bodies to freeze. The screams lasted for a few breaths before they all disappeared.
"Although the Imperial Qi is strong and the soldiers are sharp, I can't suppress or block it. What's the use?" In the next moment, Pei Zi Yun saw that no one was able to block his attacks. He laughed coldly as he charged towards a direction.
This was the direction of the Inner Palace. Seeing the situation, several soldiers rushed forward to face him. At this point, Pei Zi Yun no longer focused on killing. If he were to do so, no matter how much energy and stamina he had, he would be completely drained. The only sound that could be heard was the screams of agony. Pei Zi Yun was sent flying in a straight line, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Eunuch Huang stood up abruptly and shouted out, "Something's wrong. He's trying to break into the inner palace.
"You are all Grandmasters. Stop him. If you succeed, the Imperial Court will reward you generously." A general spoke to a group of soldiers. Their faces were pale, but they had no choice but to charge forward. As soon as these words were spoken, a group of soldiers charged forward. Three of them moved as smoothly as water, almost as if they were Pei Zi Yun's movements.
"Idiots." Pei Zi Yun spat out as he saw them charging towards him. He swung his halberd, and the person who had just charged forward had no time to defend himself. The halberd sliced across his waist and abdomen, and another person's arm flew off.
This person's face did not show any signs of pain, but rather a look of despair. He continued to charge forward, and the blade of the sword landed on him. Sparks flew everywhere, but only a white scar was left on his skin.
In the next moment, the halberd light flashed past. The man's eyes widened, and blood spurted out like a fountain. But in the next moment, a large number of soldiers armed with crossbows appeared on the walls of the inner palace. A shout was heard, "Shoot!"
"Peng" The sky darkened as arrows rained down on Pei Zi Yun.
"Ding ding dang dang!"
The arrows landed on Pei Zi Yun's body, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Those who had not died were turned into porcupines. The so-called martial arts experts were just cannon fodder.
"Pu pu pu!" Some of the arrows that were imbued with Dao Arts exploded on Pei Zi Yun's body. Pei Zi Yun closed his eyes and ignored them as he charged forward.
"Fire again!" The order was given in a panicked tone.
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, as they fell to the ground. The steel arrowheads were all bent out of shape.
"Boom!" Pei Zi Yun slammed heavily into the door of the Inner Palace. A loud sound could be heard, as the sturdy door was covered in spiderwebs.
The door collapsed, revealing a long corridor. Without hesitation, Pei Zi Yun walked through it.
