Zong Wang ran away.
Yang Hongwu was also stunned when he saw this. Wasn't this the legendary Sword Manipulation Technique? Its power was indeed shocking. This was related to mental strength.
In fact, anyone could use a sword to kill an enemy from a distance. However, it wasn't as terrifying as the Imperial Sword Technique. The Imperial Sword Technique could take the head of an enemy from a thousand miles away.
If he could cultivate the Imperial Sword Technique, it would be a good thing.
Yang Hongwu threw these thoughts aside. Then, he used the technique passed to him by the Emperor of the Fire God Dynasty to refine the Fire God Cannon in an instant.
Zong Wang saw that the situation was hopeless. He didn't think too much about it. He turned around and leaped up.
"Let's go."
Lin Laosan and the others were besieging Huo Danzi. After receiving Zong Wang's command, they instantly forced Huo Danzi to retreat. Chu Gongfeng moved his mind. Two terrifying black smoke burst out from his hands. The black smoke turned into two poisonous dragons and pounced towards Huo Danzi and the others.
Zong Wang and the others took advantage of this opportunity to break through space and escape. They disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Damn it, we actually let them escape."
"Releasing the tiger back to the mountain!" Huo Danzi murmured.
To Yang Hongwu, if he wanted to, he could stop Zong Wang and the others. However, Yang Hongwu didn't do so. In fact, although Yang Hongwu could trap Zong Wang and the others, it would consume too much of his energy. The loss outweighed the gain.
Yang Hongwu wasn't stupid enough to give his all for the Emperor of the Fire God Dynasty.
"Your Majesty." Huo Danzi came in front of Song Lingwu and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please punish me. I have betrayed your majesty by failing to stop Zong Wang."
"Chief Consecrator, please rise. There's no need for this. This time, being able to repel Zong Wang and take back the Fire God Cannon is already the greatest merit. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have died here." Song Lingwu smiled bitterly.
Zong Wang's methods were beyond his expectations. Why did the Second Prince, Lin Laosan, and the others betray him? Even the Imperial Guards betrayed him. They were personally selected and nurtured by him. However, he didn't expect that all of them would betray him. This made him very depressed and puzzled him.
If it wasn't for Yang Hongwu's Soul Devouring Insects, they would have been turned into hedgehogs by now.
"I don't dare to claim credit." Huo Danzi shook his head and said, "This is all thanks to Little Brother Yang Hongwu. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to repel Zong Wang."
Huo Danzi was a sensible person. Moreover, what he said was true. If it wasn't for Yang Hongwu, they wouldn't have been able to keep their lives, let alone defeat Zong Wang.
Therefore, Huo Danzi was very grateful to Yang Hongwu.
However, Song Lingwu was different. He was the Emperor, the Emperor of the Fire God Dynasty. Although Zong Wang was defeated by Yang Hongwu, he had promised Yang Hongwu that he would give him the Fire Seed of the Fire God Dynasty and allow him to choose any treasures from the Imperial Treasury. This was something he didn't want.
Everything else was fine, but the Fire Seed of the Fire God Dynasty was the foundation of the Fire God Dynasty. It was one of the most precious treasures of the Fire God Dynasty. He didn't want to hand it over.
"Of course I know about Little Brother Yang's contribution. However, Great Consecrator, you shouldn't belittle yourself. This time, your contribution cannot go unnoticed. Moreover, if it wasn't for Great Consecrator, how could the Fire God Dynasty have the prestige it has today?" As the Emperor, Song Lingwu was naturally familiar with the way of handling people.
Moreover, Huo Danzi's contribution was definitely the most important reason why the Fire God Dynasty had such prestige. Secondly, it was obviously because of the powerful Poison Master, Second Brother Chu. Unfortunately, Second Brother Chu betrayed him, which made him very angry.
If he couldn't kill Zong Wang and Second Brother Chu, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.
Therefore, no matter what, Zong Wang and the others had to die.
"Your Majesty, now that Zong Wang has been defeated, shouldn't you fulfill your promise to me?" Yang Hongwu said.
"How dare you speak to His Majesty like that?" At this moment, a group of guards arrived. The leader of the guards was furious when he saw Yang Hongwu's rudeness. He scolded Yang Hongwu loudly.
In fact, Yang Hongwu's words made Song Lingwu extremely unhappy. He was the Emperor of the Fire God Dynasty, the ruler of a country. How could Yang Hongwu be so rude to him at this moment? This made him very uncomfortable.
However, he knew that he couldn't offend Yang Hongwu now. If he couldn't kill Yang Hongwu in one blow, he definitely couldn't attack him. This was because Yang Hongwu had the Soul Devouring Bug. This Soul Devouring Bug was extremely terrifying. Even a Peak Emperor Realm expert couldn't withstand it. Therefore, he wouldn't be so stupid to attack Yang Hongwu before he had a way to deal with the Soul Devouring Bug.
Moreover, there was a huge force behind Yang Hongwu, which was the Sky Sword Sect. Although the Fire God Dynasty's strength wasn't much weaker than the Sky Sword Sect, the Fire God Dynasty's strength was greatly reduced because of Zong Wang's rebellion. If they were to go against the Sky Sword Sect now, the Fire God Dynasty would be in an unprecedented state of danger. It might even be destroyed. He didn't want to become the ruler of a destroyed country.
"Shut up." Song Lingwu scolded.
"Your Majesty, he …"
"Little Brother Yang has shown great kindness to me. It was he who defeated the Sect King and the others, allowing this Emperor to survive. You came too late to save this Emperor, yet you still dare to yell at this Emperor's benefactor. Do you know your crime?" Song Lingwu shouted angrily.
"I deserve to die a thousand deaths." When the guard heard that, he was scared to death. Indeed, although they rushed over with all their might, they didn't come in time to save the Emperor when he was in danger. This was indeed their fault.
"Hmph. Alright. This time, I don't blame you. Now, bring some men and chase after Zong Wang. Also, arrest Zong Wang and the others." Song Lingwu's eyes shot out a terrifying cold light. This time, he, the Emperor, almost died in the hands of Zong Wang. This made him lose all his face. Therefore, one could imagine the anger in his heart at this moment.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard nodded and turned to leave.
After the guard left, Song Lingwu apologized to Yang Hongwu, "Little Brother Yang, I'm sorry. My subordinates didn't know any better. Please forgive them."
"It's fine." Yang Hongwu shook his head.
As the Emperor, how could Yang Hongwu not know about Song Lingwu's schemes and thoughts? In fact, Song Lingwu already had killing intent towards him. Although Song Lingwu concealed it well, Yang Hongwu had already caught it.
