Shock, unparalleled shock.
After the shock, he was overjoyed. There was no need to guess anymore, because the moment the sword was unleashed, the result was already decided.
The storm continued.
However, the Beast Tide that was running at full speed suddenly stopped. All of the beasts looked at the crack on the ground, at the figure that was still standing in front of the crack.
King Xieluo's body did not move, and his expression did not change. However, the purple light that extended from his forehead had already bloomed.
It slowly expanded, and gradually became brighter.
"You … are very strong!" King Xieluo finally let out a soft voice. There was a tinge of unwillingness in his voice, but there was no longer any anger.
"Actually, you're stronger than me!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded lightly.
"But you've won."
"Yes."
Without another word, King Xieluo slowly raised his head and looked at the pouring rain above him. Following that, specks of golden light rose from his body.
Just like pebbles rising from the ground, they slowly rose into the air. Then, they turned into nothingness and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a golden pearl was slowly spat out from King Xieluo's mouth.
This was a golden pearl that was completely different from the one on King Xieluo's head. This golden pearl did not glow like water, but it emitted a desolate and ancient aura.
"The Demon Pearl!"
"This is the real Demon Pearl!"
"So, the Demon Pearl has always been in King Xieluo's mouth, and not on his forehead!"
The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary, who were initially still, finally regained their senses the moment they saw the golden pearl.
At this moment, they finally understood. The Demon Pearl was the source of the Demon King's power. How could something like this grow on the forehead?
However, no matter what, King Xieluo was still dead.
The Beast Tide began to slowly retreat. They did not retreat too quickly, but they were indeed retreating, retreating into the distance like melting snow.
Victory!
They finally won!
Countless years ago, the Sagely Battle God slew the Demon Lord Si Kong in the Blood Shadow City. Countless years later, Fang Zhengzhi slew the Demon King Xieluo in one strike at the gates of the Flame Capital City.
The same sword, the same sword mark.
"I've won. I can finally … help you. Shameless … shameless guy …" Ping Yang's lips curled into a smile at this moment.
Her lifeless eyes stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing not too far away from her. Fresh blood flowed from her mouth.
Drop by drop, they fell to the ground and were washed away by the torrential rain.
There weren't many bright spots of light left, and they surrounded her with a sense of urgency and sorrow.
His body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
However, the moment her body fell to the ground, an arm helped her up. Then, a wave of warmth enveloped her in a gentle embrace.
She did not struggle.
She just let the warmth envelop her.
"Ping Yang …" Fang Zhengzhi hugged Ping Yang's soft body. Of course, he knew what Ping Yang was feeling. He could even feel the emotions from the light spots.
"Shameless guy, I'm very … very strong, right?" Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a stubborn look on her face. However, her lifeless eyes were getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Yes, you're very strong!"
"Hahaha … cough cough …" Ping Yang laughed as she coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her chest was dyed red, but she was still smiling. "Finally, I'm no longer a burden. I can help you …"
"You've always been able to help me!"
"No, in the past … I couldn't in the past … I just didn't want to lose. I didn't want to hide behind you forever. And Yan … Sister Yan. I said I'm very strong, but … but I can't do anything … I can only be a burden. I can't do anything, cough cough …"
"Ping Yang!"
"Shameless fellow, you … don't worry, I've already seen my mother. She said she would come to pick me up. I should … should be able to see my mother soon …" Ping Yang's gaze slowly looked towards the horizon. Looking at the pouring rain, the corners of her mouth were brimming with happiness.
"Your Highness!"
"Princess Ping Yang!"
"Princess!"
The Mountain Breaking Army and the Yan Cloud Calvary bowed when they saw this scene. Although they did not know how Ping Yang ended up like this, they could clearly feel Ping Yang's weakness.
However, they could clearly feel the weakness of Ping Yang. It was the kind of weakness that came when one was close to death.
Victory.
King Xieluo was dead.
However, no one cheered. Because King Li of the First Rank was dead. And now, Ping Yang, who shone brightly on the battlefield, was about to die too.
Ping Yang!
The Emperor's most beloved princess. She was not even 16 years old yet.
…
Flame Capital City, Imperial Palace.
The intense battle finally stopped. Because everyone's attention was attracted by the purple ray of light that fell from the sky.
"Young Master, King Xieluo's aura … seems to have disappeared!" A man in black's voice rang in Qian Wu's ears. It was a voice filled with fear and shock.
"Impossible, how is this possible?!" Qian Wu's expression was extremely ferocious. His body was covered in blood. However, it was just as the man in black had said.
King Xieluo's aura had disappeared.
"Young Master, let's retreat!"
"Yes Young Master, if we don't retreat now … it'll be too late!"
"Young Master!"
No one was willing to believe it, and no one knew what had happened. However, they all knew one thing. King Xieluo's aura had disappeared.
"Who is it, who is it!" Qian Wu's voice reverberated in the air above the palace. His eagle-like eyes stared at Emperor Lin Mubai, who was surrounded by the Dragon Protection Squad. His heart was filled with indignation.
…
Torrential rain.
On the city walls of the Flame Capital City, Su Qing was fleeing into the distance. He no longer had the mood to stay, because this battle was destined to end.
Fang Zhengzhi was still hugging Ping Yang tightly in his arms.
Ping Yang raised her head slightly and allowed Fang Zhengzhi to pull her into his arms. She hugged Fang Zhengzhi tightly with her hands around her waist.
The rain drenched her hair and washed away the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. Her pink lips gently breathed out a warm breath.
Perhaps, this was the last bit of warmth.
A speck of starlight lit up the sky. In this stormy night filled with dark clouds, it seemed a little strange. Because it was not a speck of starlight that should have appeared.
However, the starlight still appeared.
Furthermore, it grew brighter and brighter, almost turning the entire sky into daytime, just like a white sun.
"Kaboom!" A ray of light fell from the sky like a passageway connecting heaven and earth, completely connecting the sky and the earth.
"What is that?!"
"What a powerful force!"
"Don't tell me, there is a second Demon … Demon King?!"
Shock and astonishment rose in the hearts of the Mountain Breaking Army and the Yan Cloud Calvary. All eyes were on the ray of light that connected heaven and earth, the ray of light that landed beside Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
"This, could this be …" Yan Qianli's body trembled slightly at this moment. He stared at the bright and dazzling ray of light, his expression was one of shock that he had never felt before.
"Grandfather!" Yan Xiu's body moved.
"Don't go over!" Yan Qianli naturally knew what Yan Xiu was thinking. He spoke without hesitation. After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Don't worry, this is not the Demon King!"
"Yes." Yan Xiu's body stopped moving. However, he stared intently at the ray of light and clenched his fists subconsciously.
Shan Yu also stopped in her tracks. However, she did not lose her vigilance. Her black eyes shone with a dazzling light.
At this moment, a figure gradually appeared in the light. It was a figure that did not look very tall. It slowly walked out of the light.
Soon, the silhouette of a person slowly appeared.
She wore a purple dress that wrapped around her body. Her black hair fell to her waist. On her head, there was a hairpin made of bronze. It did not look luxurious, but it exuded a sense of simplicity.
It was a woman.
She did not look very old. She was about 30 years old. She had willow-like eyebrows and big eyes. Although she was not devastatingly beautiful, she was extremely delicate.
A ray of light descended from the sky, and a woman walked out from the light. This was definitely a strange scene, but it was also a shocking scene.
The light did not dissipate and the rain continued to fall.
However, the rain did not wet the woman's dress. The wind did not ruffle her hair either. She stood there quietly like a still painting.
However …
The woman in the painting was surveying her surroundings. She looked at the Mountain Breaking Army, the Yan Cloud Calvary, Xing Yuanguo, Yan Xiu, and Shan Yu with an arrogant gaze.
Arrogant. Absolute arrogance.
Her gaze did not linger on anyone for even a moment. Even her expression did not change in the slightest until her gaze landed on the golden bead that was floating in the air.
"Is he dead?" The woman spoke as though she was talking to herself. Then, she turned to look at Yan Qianli and frowned. "Yan Qianli, where is Lin Mubai? Is he dead too? "
Lin Mubai was the current emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, a high and mighty emperor.
Yan Qianli was the ruler of Western Liang. He was the King of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now, he had entered the Sage State and became the fifth Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Who would dare to call these two people by their names?
However, the woman still screamed. Furthermore, she screamed in an extremely calm manner without the slightest hesitation. She even purposely used the question 'Is he dead?'.
