"So fast!" This was what everyone thought at the same time. At the same time, King Xieluo, Prince Li of the First Rank also moved.
Compared to King Xieluo, his frail body was much weaker. However, Prince Li of the First Rank's speed was not slow. He caught up to King Xieluo the moment King Xieluo made his move.
However, he did not surpass King Xieluo.
This was a little awkward. Because, a truly powerful cultivator did not need too much time to attack. Prince Li of the First Rank could not block King Xieluo's path.
Then …
It was as good as completely useless.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally saw King Xieluo and Prince Li of the First Rank rushing towards him. At this moment, he felt like f * cking Prince Li of the First Rank.
Indeed, old ginger is very spicy!
Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid. Prince Li of the First Rank was blocking King Xieluo's path. No matter how fast King Xieluo was, if Prince Li of the First Rank wanted to stall him, it would not be a problem.
Just like when Chen Feihua saved Ping Yang.
As long as he fought …
Anything was possible!
But Prince Li of the First Rank obviously had no intention of fighting. Not only did he not fight, he even purposely followed behind King Xieluo.
"This old man wants me to be his' shield '?" Fang Zhengzhi instantly understood Prince Li of the First Rank's intentions. With Prince Li of the First Rank's strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with a Demon King alone.
Hence, dragging Fang Zhengzhi down with him was naturally the best way.
For someone like Prince Li of the First Rank …
Of course, he would not care too much about his personal feelings. Most importantly, he and Prince Li of the First Rank did not have any personal feelings.
Firstly, they had never eaten together. Secondly, they had never drunk together. They had never even played cards together. Not to mention going to brothels, going to the battlefield, going through thick and thin together.
If they really knew each other, they had only met once in the throne room.
Hence, Prince Li of the First Rank naturally would not fight for Fang Zhengzhi's life. Instead, he would focus on the bigger picture, on saving the Great Xia Dynasty from its predicament.
Hence, using Fang Zhengzhi to block King Xieluo's attack head-on. Then, he would act as a fisherman from behind and launch a sneak attack.
Fang Zhengzhi watched as King Xieluo and Prince Li of the First Rank followed closely behind. He sighed in his heart. This old man was rather confident in himself.
He was not afraid that he would be killed by King Xieluo's palm. However, after witnessing how he defeated Qian Wu, it was not wrong for him to have some confidence in himself.
Unfortunately …
He was not stupid.
Moreover, he did not have the thought of sacrificing himself to achieve the greater good.
Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi turned and ran. Of course, he did not run aimlessly. Instead, he sprinted towards Emperor Lin Mubai's location.
As he ran, he shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, save me, quickly save me!"
"…"
At that moment, the Dragon Protection Squad, the Royal Guards, and even the City Guards and Southern Region Army were all stunned.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi was equally fast.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that as Fang Zhengzhi ran, King Xieluo, who was charging towards Fang Zhengzhi, was forced to change his direction in mid-air.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Quickly run out of the palace!"
The Dragon Protection Squad panicked when they saw Fang Zhengzhi approaching. Emperor Lin Mubai could not even stand properly and Imperial Concubine Hua Fei was also severely injured.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi brought the Demon King over. Did he not know what it meant to protect the emperor? Did he not know what it meant to protect the emperor with his own body?
With a Demon King following behind him, he actually chose to run towards the Emperor.
And he even asked the Emperor to save him?!
That was a Demon King!
With just the Dragon Protection Squad, how would they be able to withstand a fatal blow from a Demon King?
"Run out of the palace?" Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth. King Xieluo was coming from the direction of the main entrance of the palace. Asking him to run out of the palace at this moment was no different from courting death.
He was not affected at all.
Fang Zhengzhi steeled his heart and continued to run towards Emperor Lin Mubai. It was as if he had not heard the words of the Dragon Protection Squad as he continued to shout.
"Quickly save me, the Demon King is catching up!"
"Oh no, protect the Emperor and Lady Hua Fei! Quick! "
The Dragon Protection Squad's eyes widened. Fang Zhengzhi was too 'flustered' and had completely lost his ability to think. Other than resisting with all their might, they had no other choice.
They could not possibly kill Fang Zhengzhi on the spot, could they?
Furthermore, even if they had such a thought, now was not the time.
Not far away, the Royal Guards who were attacking the Palace Guards with all their might finally reacted. However, they were powerless to stop Fang Zhengzhi.
After all …
Whether it was King Xieluo, Prince Li of the First Rank, or even Fang Zhengzhi, they were all much faster than them. There was no way they could stop what was about to happen.
This was a sudden turn of events.
It was also an unexpected turn of events. No one could stop Fang Zhengzhi from charging towards Emperor Lin Mubai. Even Yan Xiu and Shan Yu, who were already rushing towards Fang Zhengzhi, could not stop him.
He was getting closer, getting closer!
Seeing that Fang Zhengzhi was almost at Emperor Lin Mubai's side, and King Xieluo was less than five feet away from Fang Zhengzhi, everyone's eyes widened.
If King Xieluo changed his target at this moment …
Then, Emperor Lin Mubai could very well lose his life. Although everyone knew that King Xieluo's target was Fang Zhengzhi, what if?
With the Emperor's life on the line, everyone had to be prepared for such an eventuality.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes widened. King Duan's eyes widened as well. Even Qian Wu clenched his fists tightly.
"No …" Ping Yang shouted. She wanted to shout not to hurt her father, but she also did not want Fang Zhengzhi to get hurt.
This was a contradiction, and this contradiction prevented her from shouting the rest of her words.
"Don't you dare hurt my Emperor!" At this moment, Prince Li of the First Rank's voice finally rang out. That feeling was like a huge bell ringing from the heavens, shaking everyone's hearts.
At the same time …
Prince Li of the First Rank, who was originally following closely behind King Xieluo, suddenly increased his speed. His frail body actually rushed forward forcefully for a distance.
His frail hand pressed on King Xieluo's shoulder. Immediately after, several rays of radiance lit up. It was the radiance of seven colors.
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, purple …
Following the illumination of these lights, King Xieluo's body finally froze in mid-air. That devilish and fair face of his seemed to be slightly surprised.
"Hmm? It seems like I have underestimated you! " King Xieluo turned around and looked at the frail figure that was tightly wrapped in the seven-colored radiance. His eyes were flowing with a jade-green radiance.
Prince Li of the First Rank's expression was extremely solemn. However, the murkiness in his eyes had disappeared. They became unusually bright, and the seven-colored radiance constantly intertwined in his eyes.
Such a scene, in the eyes of the surrounding people, was undoubtedly shocking enough.
"That seven-colored radiance, could it be …"
"It should be!"
After seeing the seven-colored radiance wrapped around Prince Li of the First Rank's body, everyone seemed to have thought of something. Something that almost everyone knew, but very few had actually seen.
It was rumored that there were thirty-six Heaven Dao Sage Tablets in the world. Every Heaven Dao Sage Tablet recorded the supreme Great Dao, allowing one to become a Sage in one go.
However, very few people knew how to become a Sage, and what the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet looked like.
However, there was one thing that everyone knew. That was, the Great Xia Dynasty had a Holy Garden. In the Holy Garden, there were thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets.
This number was exaggerated.
It could even be said to be extremely exaggerated. Because, even the Heaven Dao Pavilion only had nine Heaven Dao Sage Tablets.
As for the Holy Barbarian Empire, which was as powerful as the Great Xia Dynasty, the number of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets they had was obviously pathetically low.
More accurately …
The Holy Barbarian Empire only had one Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!
Of course, this did not mean that the Holy Barbarian Empire was not strong enough. It was because, a long long time ago, there was only one country in the entire world. That country was named the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, with the passage of time, the Great Xia Dynasty that once ruled the world fell apart. In the end, it even turned into dust and disappeared in the torrent of the world.
Until a few thousand years ago …
The Great Xia Dynasty once again appeared in the world. They exchanged five Heaven Dao Sage Tablets for 500,000 soldiers. They then used the power of the 13 constabularies to conquer the world. They once again established a dynasty on this piece of land and became the current Great Xia Dynasty.
That was glory once again. Although it could not be compared to the glory of the past, it still had a foothold. However, it was a pity that after a few thousand years, the number of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets decreased. Now, there were only thirteen of them left.
As for the reason behind it, it was a little too complicated.
Even so, the Great Xia Dynasty still had 13 pieces of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets. However, the Sacred Garden no longer existed.
So, where were the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets?
Naturally, no one knew.
Some people guessed that the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets were hidden in the 13 constabularies. This was because each of the 13 constabularies had a parallel world.
For example, the Divine Constabulary's Heavenly Treasure Hall and the Stabilisation Constabulary's Green Jade Platform. Therefore, if one wanted to hide the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets in these parallel worlds, no one would be able to find them.
This was a very safe choice.
As for whether this guess was true or not, no one dared to confirm it.
It could be said that this was a secret that no one knew. However, when King Liqin's eyes lit up with seven colors, everyone thought of this secret at the same time.
"So, the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet of the Great Xia Dynasty is in King Liqin's Residence!" Qian Wu looked at King Liqin. His eagle-like eyes were extremely bright at this moment. He even revealed a cold smile.
This was because he knew that only when one understood the supreme Dao recorded on the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, would he be able to have such a dazzling radiance that resonated with the heavens and earth.
King Liqin, the Holy Garden, King Liqin's Residence, leisurely planting flowers, rearing birds …
In an instant, Qian Wu understood. He understood why King Liqin of the Great Xia Dynasty kept himself in his residence. He also understood where the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets were.
King Liqin's Residence.
Flame Capital City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was right under the emperor's nose. Who would have thought that such a place would be open and crowded with people? Who would have thought that?
"When I conquer the Great Xia Dynasty, the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets will belong to the Holy Barbarian Empire!" Qian Wu's heart was filled with excitement. This excitement even made him feel uneasy. "King Xieluo, quick, kill them!"
"King Xieluo, as the Demon King, your actions have crossed the line. If you dare to harm the Emperor's life, do you know the consequences?" King Liqin's gaze was fixed on King Xieluo. The hand that was pressing on King Xieluo's shoulder was like an iron shackle.
"Consequences? Haha … wait till you can defeat me first! " King Xieluo chuckled. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Speaking of consequences, do you know the consequences of stopping me? Can't you tell that the person I want to kill is Fang Zhengzhi? "
King Liqin of the First Rank obviously knew that the person King Xieluo wanted to kill was Fang Zhengzhi. However, as Fang Zhengzhi led King Xieluo closer and closer to Emperor Lin Mubai.
How could he continue to tolerate this?
Most importantly, he was not confident that King Xieluo would fulfill his promise and return to the Near-Life Gate after killing Fang Zhengzhi.
Qian Wu's words, the Demon King's words …
Could they be trusted?
King Liqin of the First Rank, who had lived for so long, would not be so naive as to use the fate of an entire dynasty to bet on a so-called 'promise'.
Now, the best solution was not to wait for King Xieluo to kill.
But …
To stop King Xieluo from killing.
Originally, King Liqin of the First Rank's plan was for Fang Zhengzhi to risk his life to block King Xieluo's attack. Then, when King Xieluo was attacking Fang Zhengzhi, King Xieluo would suddenly reveal his true strength from behind. Taking advantage of King Xieluo's underestimation, King Xieluo would be gravely injured.
However, he never expected Fang Zhengzhi to run away. Furthermore, he did not hesitate to run towards Emperor Lin Mubai.
Wait a minute!
Where was Fang Zhengzhi?!
King Liqin of the First Rank instinctively searched for Fang Zhengzhi. However, he was surprised to find that Fang Zhengzhi, who should have been right in front of him, had disappeared.
Turning his head, King Liqin of the First Rank's eyes flashed. Because, he saw a black shadow, a black shadow that was running away.
Without a doubt …
The black shadow was Fang Zhengzhi.
King Liqin of the First Rank was stunned.
He wanted to call out to Fang Zhengzhi and tell him to come back. Let's fight the Demon King together!
However, it was obvious that Fang Zhengzhi would not come back. Because Fang Zhengzhi ran very quickly. He did not even turn his head back. In the blink of an eye, only his back could be seen.
"He actually ran away while I was holding King Xieluo back? This brat … he did it on purpose! "King Liqin of the First Rank finally reacted.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, are you blind? Can't you see the Near-Life Gate in my hand? If you don't get out of the way, I'll smash it! "From afar, Fang Zhengzhi's voice drifted into everyone's ears.
