Li Gang's face changed dramatically. He activated his sword intent, but at the critical moment, he could only block the golden dragon's toe for a moment. Then, he felt the overwhelming power crazily bombarding him, and his whole body was blown toward the Star River Sword in front of him.
Cao Bingyan seemed to have known this would happen.
He grinned hideously and used the craziest power, even at the cost of burning himself, to drive the Star River Sword to stab Li Gang.
"There is no Secular Sword Whiz in the world anymore."
On the high pavilion a thousand meters away, the second prince slowly withdrew his hand and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
Of course, it was him who launched a sneak attack.
To achieve his goal, he would do anything.
That was the first thing he learned since he was born in that cold royal family.
Therefore, his previous fighting intent and eagerness to fight were just a performance to confuse Li Gang. It was never his style to take risks. Getting the most benefit with the least cost was his standard and principle. Even if he had the Celestial Being Power, he never thought of himself as a martial artist.
He was not famous in Jianghu, because those who had seen him fight were all dead.
Liu Chenglong, who was standing behind the second prince, did not say a word. A trace of cold sweat slid down his forehead. At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that being in the emperor's company was like being with a tiger. Was it right to choose such a person to be loyal to?
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the second prince's slightly raised corner of his mouth stiffened.
Because down below, Li Gang, whose heart was about to be pierced by the Milky Way Sword, somehow managed to dodge the fatal attack, and only his right arm was pierced through. Cao Bingyan, who was burning his body, was sent flying by Li Gang with a slap …
"Did he survive?"
A trace of haze flashed in the second prince's eyes.
"Brother Sun, please do it."
He said calmly.
Behind him, a young man who looked like a study companion nodded and slowly hid in the void, as if he had disappeared from reality.
The next moment, Li Gang, who was in front of the main altar of the Xiongfeng Martial Arts Club, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt an extremely terrible killing intent coming from the side. Immediately, he stabbed it with a wisp of Secular Sword Intent. His body moved, leaving only a shadow on the spot, which was smashed by a flash of cold light.
A cold chuckle rang out, carrying with it an unparalleled killing intent.
"Assassination Star Sun Ming?"
Li Gang asked.
What responded to him was a low, mocking laugh. "Lord Li, rest in peace." It was the voice of the young man beside the Second Prince.
An assassin at the peak of the Greater Heaven stage.
The Assassin, Sun Ming, was the Second Prince's most trustworthy secret sword. No one knew what he looked like, nor did they know what he liked. It was rumored that he was an old man, and rumored to be a young child. Even his gender was rumored to be different. The only similarity was that this secret sword had always been by the Second Prince's side, and had secretly helped him eliminate countless enemies.
Six years ago, Sun Ming, who was in the Greater Heaven stage, successfully assassinated a Celestial Being. Since then, he became famous and was listed as the tenth assassin in the Western Qin Empire. Countless experts were frightened by his name. He was a very terrible character.
Li Gang frowned and said, "Do you still want to watch?"
He did not say that to Sun Ming.
Of course, he did not say that to Cao Bingyan.
"Beg me." A sweet female voice rang out, which was like the sound of nature, extremely pleasant to the ear.
The sound seemed to be coming from the ground, from the grass and trees, and from the crushed rocks. It was erratic and extremely strange.
Her ability to hide her breath was far better than that of the Assassination Star. Before she spoke, no one noticed the slightest trace.
Li Gang did not speak. He stood where he was and directly ran his Cultivation Method to heal his wounds.
"Is it so hard to let me beg you?" The female voice sounded a little sad.
All of a sudden, in the void, a hidden airflow came from behind Li Gang and attacked him. The airflow, which looked like a cyan wind blade, was like a blood shark under the water, hiding the killing intent.
Li Gang seemed not to notice it.
Or, even if he did, he did not want to avoid it.
When the cyan wind blade was about to cut his back, right at that moment —
Bang!
A loud noise was heard.
An indescribable blue light beam shot over from thousands of meters away.
That light beam did not carry the fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth, nor did it have any natural qi. But its speed was incredibly fast, surpassing the sound barrier. When that loud noise was heard, the blue light beam had already shot over. It was so fast that even the Celestial Being could not react in time.
About one meter behind Li Gang, in the void, a cluster of blood suddenly burst out.
A transparent figure fell to the ground, and then it gradually materialized. It was the Assassination Star.
A small hole the size of a finger appeared on his forehead.
It was a very strange wound, with a wisp of scorching air on the edge, and the front and back were transparent.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Ming's skull had been completely steamed and ground to pieces by some terrifying heat. Even a powerful deva wouldn't be able to escape such an injury. Even in death, Sun Ming didn't react. That was because a cold smile could be seen on his face. It was the expression an assassin would have when he was about to make a one-hundred percent kill.
The Assassination Star died in an assassination.
At that moment, even he himself did not expect that he would die.
What kind of magical secret method could kill a Celestial Being from thousands of meters away in an instant?
Was this the means of a Sage?
The Second Prince, who was sitting in the pavilion, gasped in shock.
Sun Ming's death shocked him and caught him off guard.
He did not even have time to save him.
Was this Li Gang's trump card?
"I've saved you once. The rest, you deal with it yourself," the female voice said lightly, "You know, I only have one bullet a day." Only Li Gang could hear that voice.
Expressionless, Li Gang ran his natural qi to heal himself.
The situation seemed to have become a little awkward for the second prince.
He could not see clearly what that blue beam of light was at that moment.
If that beam of light had been shot at him … He weighed in his mind whether he could take such an attack or not. The final conclusion was that he could, but … he would be injured.
That should be Li Gang's last trump card.
It was impossible for a heavily injured person to hold back in such an environment.
No one would hide a trump card at a life-and-death moment.
In that case …
The second prince heaved a long sigh of relief. "The winner is decided."
At the same time, the seriously injured Cao Bingyan launched another attack.
The sword intent of the Star River Sword rose again. Cao Bingyan, whose half body had begun to fade, wielded his sword again and charged at Li Gang.
Seeing that, the second prince knew that the final battle had come.
He smiled confidently and directly raised his hand.
A beam of bright yellow light flew out of his hand and floated in the air, releasing a terrifying power. The power of heaven and earth flowed. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth suppressed by the Sky-stabilizing Mirror was restored, and the power of the Chang 'an government's divine device of fate was instantly disintegrated.
"By the will of heaven, the emperor decrees that Li Gang, the magistrate of Chang 'an, has been greatly favored by the emperor. He has been leading a region on behalf of me, and his glory has deepened. However, he is ungrateful and rebellious. He has privately raised a large army, which is a heinous crime. Therefore, I order my son, Qin Fan, to be the imperial envoy to execute this disobedient sinner and all his henchmen. There is no need to capture them to the capital.
A dignified voice that seemed to belong to a God King came from the bright yellow light.
That was the imperial edict.
The imperial edict of Emperor Qin Ming.
"The emperor of the Western Qin decrees to kill Li Gang?"
"Li Gang is rebelling?"
That mighty voice instantly resounded in the entire Chang 'an City. Everyone heard it clearly.
Countless people raised their heads to look at the bright yellow ball of light that contained endless majesty in the sky. As the dark yellow brilliance flickered, it could be seen that it was a bright yellow silk cloth with star formation patterns flowing on it. It emitted a supreme majesty that shook people's hearts, as if it was a decree from the mouth of the Lord of Gods.
That was the imperial edict of the Western Qin Empire.
Everyone felt an uncontrollable submission and trembling from the bottom of their hearts and souls.
"All the land under the sky belongs to the emperor, and all the people on the land are the emperor's subjects."
"If the emperor wants the subject to die, the subject has to die."
That was the imperial edict.
In an instant, countless people in the entire Chang 'an City were in a state of shock and confusion.
The imperial edict of the Western Qin Empire possessed endless power, which could dispel the pressure of the Sky-stabilizing Mirror, the divine tool of fate of the various provinces and prefectures. Therefore, as soon as the imperial edict came out, strange energy surged in the entire Chang 'an City. The power of heaven and earth that had been suppressed by the Sky-stabilizing Mirror became lively again, and then gradually returned to normal.
Naturally, the first person to be affected by such a change was Li Mu.
"Damn it!"
Through his Third Eye, he observed that the hidden grid-like energy flow around the five Celestial Beings who were besieging him began to recover. Li Mu immediately realized that he was in big trouble.
The five Celestial Beings were no longer suppressed by the Sky-stabilizing Mirror and could mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Li Mu's face suddenly turned green.
"How am I going to beat them?"
Once the Celestial Beings recovered their real combat power, even one of them could easily crush him, not to mention the five of them, because it was a confrontation between two different levels of power.
He immediately retreated and rode on his broadsword like a flash of light.
"Damn it, you're shameless!"
Li Mu dodged the attack and kept a distance from them.
At that moment, he did not forget to grab the masked young man in white who was struggling.
When Mu Qing, the Long-brow Saint, and the others came to their senses, they were instantly overjoyed. They felt the power of heaven and earth in their bodies had recovered, and the surrounding environment had returned to normal. All the wounds caused by Li Mu's flying broadswords were instantly healed by the Spiritual Qi.
"Haha, little bastard, it's time for you to die."
"Crush him!"
The Celestial Beings couldn't help roaring.
The previous battle was too frustrating for them.
They were high and mighty Celestial Beings. Intimidated by the majesty of the second prince, they shamelessly joined hands to besiege a Natural Expert junior. However, after fighting for less than an hour, they not only failed to kill Li Mu, but were used as a whetstone and slapped in the face. Each and every one of them was covered in dirt. The grievance in their hearts almost made them explode with anger.
Now, they finally returned to normal.
The real power that belonged to them was back.
Looking at Li Mu, who was frantically fleeing like a frightened rabbit, the five Celestial Beings all showed undisguised fierce killing intent.
Now, for them, killing Li Mu was as easy as lifting a hand.
