"If your answer is correct, I won't smash it!" Su Qing stared at Fang Zhengzhi, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Of course, he knew what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking.
But he also knew his current situation. It was like a drunk, limp girl being pinned down by a burly man.
His entire body had been stripped bare.
Even though he knew that resistance was futile, he still writhed and screamed, "No, no, let go of me, please let go of me. Ahhhh …"
It was useless.
But if he did not scream, what else could he do? He could not possibly shut his mouth, or scream, "I want, I want, hold me tight, harder, let the storm come."
Obviously, this was not possible.
Hence, Su Qing could only scream, and he had to shout out an answer that he thought would make Fang Zhengzhi let him go, even if it was only one in ten thousand.
"One!"
When Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out, thoughts flashed through Su Qing's mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "You did it on purpose?"
"Correct!" Fang Zhengzhi expressed his satisfaction when he heard Su Qing's answer. Then, he smiled at Su Qing and said, "But, the time is over!"
Over?
The time was over?
Humiliation!
This was a true humiliation. Furthermore, it was a humiliation that no one could resist. Even though Su Qing knew the final outcome, he still could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"Wah …" Su Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he saw the Near-Life Gate in Fang Zhengzhi's hand falling towards the Four Symbols Ancient Formation. "No!"
At this moment, Su Qing was on the verge of collapse.
But no matter how devastated he was, he had to accept this fatal blow. The Near-Life Gate fell and smashed heavily on the Four Symbols Ancient Formation.
The bronze parts that were originally embedded in the gate began to vibrate. Rays of green light flowed on it, and it became more and more urgent …
Finally, a loud bang was heard.
"Boom!"
A beam of light shot into the sky. Countless bronze parts flew everywhere, turning into streams of light. Accompanied by cries of pain, they pierced through the bodies of the Northern Barbarian Army guarding the gate and shot in all directions.
This was a shocking and tragic scene.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I will kill you!" Su Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists so hard that they turned white. He let out a furious roar that echoed in the night sky.
…
In the palace.
The battle had reached its climax. The City Guards, the Southern Region Army, the Royal Guards, and the Dragon Protection Squad were all tangled up together.
Qian Wu's eyes were already red. He knew that the situation was getting out of control, but he still had a sliver of hope in his heart. It was the last sliver of hope.
Until …
There was a loud noise in his ears.
The sound came from the city gates. It was so loud that he could hear it clearly even though he was in the palace. Furthermore, the entire Flame Capital City seemed to be shaking.
"How is this possible?" Qian Wu looked at the ray of light that almost lit up the sky. Of course, he could guess where it was. However, he could not believe it. He could not believe that things would end up like this.
He had planned this carefully for so long.
Everything was done flawlessly. Be it the arrangements made by the palace or the four sects of Flame Capital City, everything was done meticulously.
Furthermore, the dawn of victory was right before their eyes.
How did this happen?
Qian Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intently at Lin Mubai. At this moment, he could definitely continue fighting with all his might.
However, if he continued fighting, what would the outcome be?
Unknown!
Unknown that no one knew.
…
In a secluded residence in Flame Capital City.
Moonlight spilled down from the horizon and shone on a woman standing in the pavilion, causing her snow-white dress to glow with a faint silver light.
"Young Lord, this is what Domain Chief Ying asked me to deliver!" A black figure walked into the courtyard and knelt down on one knee in front of the lady.
In his hand, there was an item that looked like a mirror. Complicated characters were carved on the edges of the mirror, making it look extremely exquisite.
However, compared to an ordinary mirror, this mirror did not have any radiance. In other words, it was a patch of darkness, like a black hole.
"Mm." The lady nodded and took the mirror from the black figure. At the same time, her slender fingers lightly touched the dark surface of the mirror.
"Buzz!"
A soft sound could be heard.
The originally dark surface of the mirror suddenly lit up, just like a black pond being illuminated by the moonlight. A landscape painting slowly emerged from the darkness.
Green mountains, blue water, lotus platform.
Following which, the landscape painting changed into a scene of yellow sand and dust flying everywhere. An ancient city could be faintly seen in the dusky yellow.
Very quickly, the yellow sand disappeared once again and was replaced by a dense forest …
After some time, the scene finally disappeared and the surface of the mirror became dark again, without any radiance.
"Only thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets?" After seeing all the changes, the lady frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Domain Chief Ying has searched the entire King Liqin's residence, but still only found thirteen tablets." The black figure immediately reported respectfully.
"Mm, it seems like the tablet that was lost on Cang Ling Mountain has not been found by Xing Yuanguo!" The lady nodded lightly when she heard this.
"Could it really be in Fang Zhengzhi's hands?"
"The city gates have been breached?" The lady did not answer the black figure's question. She only raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of the city gates, her eyes as calm as water.
"Yes, Domain Chief Ying means that the Great Xia Dynasty's response is faster than we expected. Now that the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet is in our hands, we hope that Young Master can retreat in time and leave the rest to him alone!"
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
…
Flame Capital City, East City Gate.
Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips at Su Qing with a look of disdain. He understood Su Qing's feelings very well, but he always said that he wanted to kill him …
Wasn't he a little too naive?
Of course, these were not important now. What was important was that there was a figure standing in front of him, a figure dressed in a white scholar's robe.
King Xieluo.
"Not running anymore?" King Xieluo asked.
"Running, of course I'm running." Fang Zhengzhi replied honestly.
"Where are you running to?" King Xieluo nodded his head and looked at the broken city gate beneath his feet, as well as the bronze shards that littered the ground.
"Outside the city." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Looks like you're ready to jump down. But, are you sure you can jump down?" King Xieluo's lips curled into a smile, making his already devilish face look even more eerie.
"I'll give it a try." Fang Zhengzhi smiled back.
"Alright, then let's give it a try." King Xieluo nodded again.
"Then I'll really jump?"
"Alright!"
"Really jump!"
"Jump!"
"I'll jump now!" After Fang Zhengzhi said that, he really started moving. He turned around abruptly and dashed towards the edge of the city walls.
At the same time, King Xieluo also moved.
His body was like a phantom, and in an instant, he was behind Fang Zhengzhi. At the same time, he slapped the back of Fang Zhengzhi's head.
Just as King Xieluo said.
Fang Zhengzhi could not jump down, because King Xieluo was too fast.
But at this moment, the Near-Life Gate in Fang Zhengzhi's hand suddenly dropped to the ground. Or rather, it slipped out of his hand.
The gigantic Near-Life Gate blocked King Xieluo's attack from the back of Fang Zhengzhi's head.
"Hehe." King Xieluo's lips curled into a smile, as if he was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's action. Borrowing force to escape? How could he not have thought of this?
Hence, he did not choose to go around the Near-Life Gate, nor did he choose to leap up and dodge, nor did he slap the Near-Life Gate with his palm. Instead, he lowered his body slightly and dashed under the Near-Life Gate.
In the next moment, his ghostly body appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi. A pair of devilish eyes stared at Fang Zhengzhi quietly, and the curved horn on his head glowed with golden light.
"Now, what do you want?" King Xieluo's lips curled into a smile. At the same time, he raised his palm again and slapped it down towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Nearer, nearer …
Just as he was about to hit Fang Zhengzhi, King Xieluo squinted his eyes, because he realized that Fang Zhengzhi's face did not show any signs of panic.
On the contrary, Fang Zhengzhi was very calm.
It was as if he did not see King Xieluo's attack at all.
"I see!" King Xieluo's eyes flashed with a bright light. Then, he suddenly retracted his palm that was originally aimed at Fang Zhengzhi and slapped behind him.
"Boom!"
A loud sound.
The entire city wall shook, and then, a bright red light shone behind King Xieluo. It was as clear as blood, and as cold as hell.
A huge shockwave spread in all directions.
The Northern Barbarian Army that was originally standing on the city wall was blown into the wall.
Even the men in black surrounding Xing Yuanguo were blown back a few steps by this huge shockwave.
As for Su Qing, he was blown away and rolled on the ground.
Shock, incomparable shock.
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to the back of King Xieluo. There stood a figure, an extremely ordinary figure.
Behind him, below the city walls, there were countless other figures like him.
The Ancient Four Beasts Formation had been destroyed.
The barrier on the city wall had been completely destroyed, and the city gates had been opened. Hence, the scene outside the city could naturally be seen.
Countless black figures rode on war horses, standing silently outside the city wall. Each of them carried a steel bow on their back, and a saber hung on their waist.
Yan Cloud Cavalry.
Almost instinctively, this name flashed across the Northern Barbarian Army's mind. Hence, it was easy to guess the identity of the figure standing on the city wall.
Even though he was dressed exactly like the Yan Cloud Cavalry.
But his name was enough for the Northern Barbarian Army to know. Because, he was the Overlord of Western Liang. He was King Yan, Yan Qianli.
"He can actually fight the Demon King head-on?!"
"What's going on?"
"Even if he is Yan Qianli, this is impossible!"
The Northern Barbarian Army was shocked, and so were the Mountain Breaking Army. They knew very well how powerful Yan Qianli was. However, if he was so powerful that he could take on a Demon King's palm, it was a little exaggerated.
But the truth was …
Yan Qianli stood on the spot, standing in front of King Xieluo. He did not even take a step back.
"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. Alright, since I'm already here, I'll enjoy myself a little more." King Xieluo slowly turned around and looked at Yan Qianli, who was standing at the edge of the city wall.
"Yes, it's not easy to come here. If I don't enjoy myself to the fullest, it would be unbecoming of a host!" A slightly hoarse voice came out from Yan Qianli's mouth, but it gave off the illusion that it was as loud as a lion's.
"Old Yan, it seems like you're late!" At this moment, a figure appeared beside Fang Zhengzhi, his loose robes fluttering in the night wind.
And when this figure landed, three other figures also landed.
King Liqin, Yan Xiu, Shan Yu, and Ping Yang.
"Grandfather!" Yan Xiu looked at Yan Qianli, who was standing in front of King Xieluo, and then looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing behind King Xieluo. He seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and then greeted Yan Qianli respectfully.
"Mm." Yan Qianli nodded, and then looked around. Then, he sighed, "Sigh, a mere Demon King has caused such chaos in the Flame Capital City?"
"Little Demon King?!"
"Yan Qianli actually said that it's a mere Demon King?"
At this moment, not only the Northern Barbarian Army, but even the Mountain Breaking Army below the city wall had a strange expression on their faces. Demon Kings were divided into big and small?
Furthermore …
This was a Demon King!
Even a Sage would not be able to defeat a Demon King in a one-on-one fight, because the physical strength of a Demon was naturally stronger than that of a human.
But Yan Qianli said it.
Furthermore, he said it in front of the Yan Cloud Cavalry, King Xieluo, the Northern Barbarian Army, and the Mountain Breaking Army. And he said it so casually.
Fang Zhengzhi was also stunned, but his thoughts were different from the others. He just felt that this grandfather of Yan Xiu was a little …
Pretentious!
But this plot was clearly not right?
Shouldn't acting cool be done by a youngster like me? An old man who had lived for god knows how many years, why was he acting cool for no reason?
"Old man Yan, no matter what, you are still Prince Yan, can't you keep a low profile? Why don't you keep your arrogant face to yourself? " Prince Li of the First Rank was stunned for a moment, but he did not seem to be too surprised. He just shook his head helplessly.
"Low profile? That's what you like to do, I'm not interested. If you like to keep a low profile, you can watch from the side. Leave this Demon King to me! " As Yan Qianli spoke, he took a step towards King Xieluo, and at the same time, the black cloak covering his head was lifted.
His silvery white hair flowed down from the black cloak, scattering over his shoulders.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Yan Qianli's face, because Yan Qianli had not stepped out of Western Liang for too many years, and he had never shown his face to anyone.
Then …
Then, a mask appeared.
It was a mask made of metal, with green fangs, a ferocious face, and six blood-red clouds on the mask.
"A mask?!"
"Yan Qianli has been wearing a mask all this while?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone was confused when they saw the mask on Yan Qianli's face, because they knew that Yan Qianli had come to Flame Capital City to attend the Thousand Elderly Banquet at the Ten Mile Lake.
That meant that Yan Qianli had met the Emperor before.
But now, Yan Qianli was wearing a mask. Could it be that Yan Qianli had been wearing a mask all this while at the Ten Mile Lake?
Why did he wear a mask?
Countless questions arose in their minds.
However, when Prince Li of the First Rank saw the mask, his body trembled, and his eyes shone with a seven-colored radiance.
"Old man Yan, could it be that you …"
"Hahaha …" Yan Qianli laughed, but he did not answer Prince Li of the First Rank's question. Instead, he slowly pressed his hand on the mask, then slowly removed it.
Soon, a young face appeared. It had eyebrows that were as sharp as swords, large eyes, and rosy, sparkling skin.
