Zhang Dongyun stood on the Flying Serpent's head, quietly looking at the Nanliang royalty before him.
To be more precise, he was only looking at King Liang, Xiao Keye.
The other party was covered in blood, and he cut a sorry figure.
However, these injuries were actually self-inflicted, and he was using them to cover up Yang Mengran's blood.
However, he still couldn't hide it from Zhang Dongyun and the Flying Serpent.
King Liang had tried his best to cover up the bloodstains on his body, but now that he had been discovered, there was no need for him to hide it any longer. He regained his calm demeanor and stared at Zhang Dongyun.
"Are you the City Lord of Chang 'an?" King Liang asked in a low voice.
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "My surname is Zhang."
King Liang nodded. "So you are Mister Zhang, one of the Five Masters of Chang 'an. I've heard a lot about you."
Zhang Dongyun tapped the Flying Serpent's head lightly with his foot. "Deal with the others."
"Yes, sir." The Flying Serpent spoke in the human language, and then pounced forward.
The other Nanliang royalty reacted in a panic.
King Liang ignored them.
It wasn't that he didn't care.
Instead, he sensed an aura even more terrifying than the Flying Serpent's from this young-looking Mister Zhang.
"Kings usually leave some dignity for their opponents."
Zhang Dongyun said, "I won't capture you alive."
"Thank you." King Liang took a deep breath and pointed his spear at Zhang Dongyun. "Please advise me."
Zhang Dongyun didn't hold back. He took a step forward, and appeared before King Liang in an instant.
The Dragon Subduing Spear in King Liang's hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea. His tyrannical aura took on the shape of a dragon as it pounced at Zhang Dongyun, intending to swallow him whole.
However, Zhang Dongyun took advantage of the situation. As soon as King Liang's dragon-shaped aura opened its mouth, he made the first move with Fuyao.
The tip of King Liang's spear trembled slightly, and the fierce aura he had gathered dissipated significantly.
Zhang Dongyun used the Great Geocentric Seal to disperse the tyrannical aura, and Mirror Lake to see through his enemy's movements.
After Fuyao, he followed up with a Heavenly Tribulation Evil Fist. Baleful aura transformed into lightning essence, exploding in the air.
King Liang's dragon-shaped aura was almost completely destroyed.
However, King Liang's movements only paused for a moment before he retaliated with an even more ferocious attack!
The Southern Liang Dragon Subduing Spear had two original intents.
One was like a dragon crouching in the abyss, and in the next moment, it had the power to rise to the heavens.
The second was to subdue Longhu!
After King Liang's first strike, he went all out with his second strike. He displayed the power of the Dragon Subduing Spear to its fullest. The tip of the spear was aimed straight at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun, under the support of the Mirror Lake Sky and the Great Earth Heart Imprint, was not affected at all. He saw the origin of the spear and pointed out.
This was the strongest technique recorded in the first chapter of the 《Evil Emperor Sutra》, the Divine Art of Heaven Manifestation, Heavenly Finger!
The Heavenly Finger accurately hit the strongest point at the tip of the opponent's spear.
Then, King Liang's spear shattered!
From the tip of the spear to the shaft, all the way to King Liang's hands.
King Liang's entire body shook.
Before he could react, Zhang Dongyun's finger had already reached King Liang's face.
It landed lightly on the other party's forehead.
Then, a hole appeared on King Liang's forehead.
His eyes gradually lost their luster, and the aura of life faded from his body.
Just like Yang Meng, King Liang Xiao Keye also had many scenes flashing through his mind before he died.
From two children who were chasing each other, to two teenagers who were competing in martial arts with spears, to two young men who were majestic and heroic.
He could see someone who looked very much like himself when he was young. His face was full of smiles as he watched another person ascend to the throne.
Xiao Keye couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered that he didn't envy his older brother's ascension.
However, at some point in time, the conflict between the two sides grew greater and greater.
He gradually realized that his older brother, who had grown up with him, was a completely different person from him.
They were no longer like-minded. Instead, they were on opposite sides.
Gradually, there were other people close to the other party.
It was the same for Xiao Keye.
Time slowly passed. The conflict between the two sides grew greater and greater.
Until a certain moment. For the first time, he felt hatred and killing intent towards his older brother Xiao Zhaoyuan.
At first, he was shocked. He immediately suppressed these thoughts.
However, as time passed, these thoughts were no longer suppressed by him. They grew stronger and stronger.
Until the arrival of that day.
Xiao Keye's blurry vision suddenly became clear.
He could clearly remember everything that had happened that day. He remembered that his older brother had looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.
Xiao Keye guessed that even though there were many conflicts between the two sides, his older brother had never thought of killing him.
He had never even thought that he would try to assassinate him.
That was why he could succeed that day.
At that time, this thought had surfaced, but he quickly suppressed it.
He told himself that if he didn't act, he would be the one to die one day.
He had said this many times. Over the years, he gradually believed that this was the truth.
However, at the moment of his death, his mind suddenly became unprecedentedly clear.
He could remember everything that had happened.
However, his fading life did not allow him to continue thinking.
King Liang's eyes completely lost their luster. His body went limp and he no longer breathed.
Zhang Dongyun stood before his corpse with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm.
On the other side, the Soaring Serpent was wantonly slaughtering the other members of the Nanliang royal family.
Since he had promised Yang Meng to leave Xiao Zhaoyuan's son alive, then it didn't matter to him what happened to the rest of the Xiao family.
Zhang Dongyun shook his head slightly, then turned and left.
He found where Yang Meng's corpse was.
After stopping in front of the corpse for a moment, Mirror Moon Tower's martial artists hurried over. Their leader was Mirror Moon Tower's Elder Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Send him back to Luo Qing Academy for a proper burial," Zhang Dongyun said.
Lin Xiaoxiao replied, "Yes, Sir."
Zhang Dongyun himself did not pay any more attention to the remaining matters and returned to Chang 'an.
He would deal with Yun Mo, Zheng Tianfeng, Meng Shen, Yan Xishi, and the others who were left behind.
After King Liang's death, it didn't matter whether the Soaring Serpent was left behind or not.
Including King Liang himself, there were only four ninth realm experts in the Nanliang Dynasty.
Now that he was dead, there were only three left.
The three Ninth Realm experts in Chang 'an — Zhuo Zui, Zheng Tianfeng, and Yun Mo — were enough to deal with.
The Soaring Serpent was left behind for a few more days to serve as a deterrent.
Moreover, not all of the remaining three Ninth Realm experts in the Nanliang Dynasty wanted to make an enemy out of Chang 'an.
The Nanshan Sect, which was ranked with the Yunxiang Sect as the strongest martial arts sect in Nanliang, voluntarily submitted to Chang 'an.
Its Sect Master, Fu Jingbo, was an extremely rare female Ninth Realm expert in the Dongjiang Continent.
Martial arts cultivation emphasized Qi and blood, so women were naturally weaker in this aspect.
Most women also chose other cultivation paths.
There were very few women who could cultivate martial arts to a very high level.
The Nanshan Sect's current Sect Master, Fu Jingbo, could be considered the number one female expert in the Dongjiang Continent.
Her relationship with the Nanshan Sect and the Nanliang royal family had never been good.
Basically, each dynasty had its own targets to suppress.
In the Nanliang Dynasty, it was the Daoist Sect's Tianyi Sect and the martial arts Nanshan Sect.
Now that Fu Jingbo led the Nanshan Sect to submit to Chang 'an, they turned around and helped Chang' an sweep through Nanliang.
Fu Jingbo herself was a Ninth Realm expert, and the Nanshan Sect had no lack of experts.
Thus, there were even fewer people in Nanliang who still wanted to resist.
Especially this time, Zhang Dongyun personally took action and blocked most of the Nanliang royal family.
Thus, the other people in Nanliang could not cause too much trouble.
The only ones who could resist were the Yunxiang Sect's Sect Master, Nie Chang, and the South Sea Sky Sect's Sect Master, Daoist Kong Hai.
However, they could only barely resist for a short period of time.
As time passed, the Nanliang Dynasty gradually stabilized.
After returning to Chang 'an, Master Zhang was more concerned about the eagles.
Before the Nanliang royal family broke out of the capital city, they wantonly killed the eagles that they could not take away with them.
Fortunately, Yun Mo, Zhuo Zui, and the others killed their way into the city in time and used all kinds of methods to barely save some of the eagles.
They hurriedly sent these spirit beasts back to Chang 'an.
After arriving at Chang 'an, these eagles were naturally safe and sound.
However, to Master Zhang, the number was definitely not enough to meet the needs of the transportation construction.
Therefore, the next task for these eagles and elephants in Chang 'an City was to do more embarrassing things …
In Invincible City, their reproduction and rearing were not a problem at all.
It was while he was dealing with these eagles that Nanliang kept sending news of victory.
"Nie Chang is dead?"
In Tianshu Hall, Mr. Dark Cloud Slowly nodded.
In front of him, Zhuo Zui said respectfully, "Yes, sir. This is his head."
Mr. Dark Cloud glanced at the square box. Inside was a head that had died with its eyes open. It was indeed one of the three Martial Emperors of the Nanliang Dynasty, Sect Master Nie Chang of the Yunxiang Sect.
"You did this?" Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Zhuo Zui in front of him.
Zhuo Zui replied, "Everyone attacked together, and I dealt the final blow."
"You don't have to be so humble. Looking at your injuries, you can't take all the credit for withstanding the opponent's dying counterattack, but the most credit is undoubtedly yours," Mr. Dark Cloud said.
"Sir Xie, I don't dare to accept such praise," Zhuo Zui said.
When interacting with others, Zhuo Zui seemed to be indifferent about everything and did not care about anything.
However, he knew very well what he should do and what he should not do.
Ever since Western Zhou requested to join the attack on Nanliang, he had been holding his breath before coming, determined to make a great contribution.
Only then would he be able to wash away the shame of losing to the Golden-winged Roc.
Although Mr. Dark Cloud said that the defeat was due to the enemy being too strong, and that it was not his fault, Zhuo Zui still kept it in mind.
Therefore, in the attack on Nanliang, he fought to be the first in every battle.
In the end, he risked his own injuries and killed Sect Master Nie Chang of the Yunxiang Sect, who was also a Level Nine Martial Emperor.
"Take the Reincarnation Pill first, then go down and recuperate. Come find me later."
Mr. Dark Cloud said, "Chang 'an rewards those who make a contribution, and punishes those who make a mistake. Since you've made a great contribution, I'll give some pointers to the Barren Thunder Sect."
Zhuo Zui was overjoyed when he heard this. "Thank you, sir."
He took the Reincarnation Pill, and his injuries immediately healed. He was even more delighted.
Zhang Dongyun, who was in Daming Palace, nodded slightly as he watched Zhuo Zui leave.
This person had cultivated to Level Nine at such a young age, and his talent and potential were extraordinary.
However, it was far more difficult to achieve the Martial Emperor Realm than it was to break through from Level Eight to Level Nine.
If Zhuo Zui only relied on his own cultivation, he might not be able to defeat King of Tang, King Chu, and the others and break through that natural barrier.
However, if he received some pointers from Chang 'an, things would be different.
