The first thing Zhao Shuo saw was Huan Tianlong in the sky.
However, as a 13th level Martial Emperor, Tuo Liuhe, Zhao Shuo sensed someone else first.
Although they were still far away, Zhao Shuo could feel that the other party was a tall woman.
Zhao Shuo's expression turned serious.
Although the other party was strong, there seemed to be many people with weaker cultivations traveling with them.
Such a big target should be noticed by the Zhao Dynasty's intelligence system.
However, it was already too late.
The other party's leader only needed to increase his speed to reach Fengming City.
As expected, the tall woman walked out of the crowd.
Huan Tianlong was traveling with her.
Zhao Shuo noticed that there was another person behind Huan Tianlong.
That person was also a demonic cultivator.
Zhao Shuo was familiar with this person. It was Long Te, the descendant of the Long Family that the Zhao Dynasty had been pursuing.
Zhao Shuo didn't care much about him.
Although Long Te was one of the few great experts among the demonic cultivators active in the Central Plains, he was still not enough to deal with Zhao Shuo, who was only at the twelfth level.
At least, compared to Huan Tianlong and the tall woman, Long Te was indeed much less important.
Zhao Shuo narrowed his eyes.
Huan Tianlong was most likely the Ape Dragon King Ao Kong.
According to the information from the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain, the tall woman was most likely the reincarnation of the Astro Sovereign Chu Yaoguang.
The good news was that these two hadn't recovered to their peak.
The bad news was that they had already defeated the other giant in the Central Plains, the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain.
Shu Mountain Elder Wen Xingyue was killed, and the Southern Sect Master Han Feiyu had no choice but to flee.
They were all 4th Realm Martial Emperors like Zhao Shuo.
"Inform Imperial Uncle Lun to come out of seclusion."
Zhao Shuo's expression was serious.
The servant behind him hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The servant retreated. At the same time, a middle-aged man in bright yellow clothes appeared behind Zhao Shuo. "Imperial Brother."
"This won't be easy," Zhao Shuo said.
The person behind him was his sixth brother, Zhao Pingyuan, the Grand Jing Dynasty's Xiaoyun King.
He, Zhao Minglun, Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo himself were the three great masters of the Royal Family. They had all reached the fourth level of the Martial Emperor Realm, which was the thirteenth level of the Martial Way.
"What Chao Wen faced back then, now it's our turn."
Slowly, Zhao Shuo said.
Chao Wen's name was rarely seen in the Central Plains.
However, thirty to forty years ago, the name of the Jade Emperor had once shaken the world.
The Jade Empire had once suppressed many empires in the Central Plains for many years, causing it to be the only empire in the Central Plains.
Today's Dajing, Dafeng, Daning, and so on could only be called dynasties in the past.
And the one who broke this shackle and allowed the heroes of the Central Plains to rise together was none other than the Twelve Yama Kings.
Now, the entire Zhao Family Empire was going to experience what the Jade Empire had gone through back then.
Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong were not as strong as they used to be.
But on the other hand, the Zhao Family Empire was not as strong as the Jade Empire in the past.
Moreover, it was hard to say if there were only Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong on the other side …
If they were not careful, the Zhao Family Empire might follow in the footsteps of the Jade Empire today.
Seeing Chu Yaoguang and the others approaching Fengming City, Emperor Jing Zhao Shuo said calmly, "Pingyuan, if things don't work out in the end, try to break out. If I die, as the emperor's younger brother, you can directly ascend the throne and take over the Great Jing Empire. Don't break the rule of the Zhao Family."
"Brother, please take care of yourself. If the situation is dangerous, you can break out first. I'll cover you," Zhao Pingyuan said.
"Focus on fighting the enemy. Don't think too much."
At this moment, an old voice sounded. Soon, an elder appeared. It was the stabilizing force of the older generation of the Zhao Family Empire, the old emperor, Zhao Minglun.
"Sorry to disturb you, Uncle."
Zhao Shuo nodded at the elder. Then, he turned to look at Chu Yaoguang and the others in the air. "Since Chang 'an landed in the Central Plains, the Great Jing Empire has always been on good terms with Chang' an. But Chang 'an sent troops to invade our territory. Isn't it repaying kindness with evil? You're insatiable.
"You don't have to mention the shady deals you've done with Tai Qing Palace, Zhongyue Temple, Nine Peaks Academy, and Saint Yan Manor."
Chu Yaoguang's expression was indifferent. "Today, Chang 'an has officially stepped into the Central Plains. The Zhao Family Empire only has one choice, and that is to surrender."
Zhao Pingyuan gently nudged his brother, indicating that Zhao Shuo should feign civility with the enemy first.
Now that Chang 'an's army was pressing on the border, time was tight. So, only the Zhao Family Empire was resisting.
No matter what the final result was, the Zhao Family Empire was under too much pressure. It was equivalent to taking the bullet for the other people in the Central Plains.
The Zhao Family Empire was currently in contact with the other Empires to resist Chang 'an together.
It was better to give in temporarily to buy time. When everyone joined forces in the future, they could fight Chang 'an again.
Zhao Shuo understood what his brother meant. But he wasn't someone who would bow down easily.
Just like when he fought with the Jade Empire back then, that was already his limit.
"I'm willing to give up my imperial title and worship Chang 'an as the overlord of the world," Zhao Shuo said Slowly.
In order to avoid giving in before the battle and disturbing the morale of the people, he deliberately controlled his voice and only transmitted it to his opponent in the air.
But Chu Yaoguang heard the voice from the rune on Ao Kong's forehead, "There's no room for negotiation."
In fact, Zhang Dongyun also hoped that the Zhao Family Empire would give in so that he could complete his System's task.
But unfortunately, the System's response was no.
So, Zhang Dongyun directly gave the order.
If the System couldn't save him some trouble, he hoped that the Zhao Family Empire would contribute more Guardian Experience Points to him.
The Illusory Sky Dragon that Ao Kong had transformed into laughed like a human. "That's exactly what I want!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards Feng Mingcheng.
Chu Yaoguang didn't say anything else. He silently unsheathed his sword.
Slowly, Zhao Shuo exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. "Then let's fight."
He raised his hand and faced Chu Yaoguang head-on. He slashed his sword.
The sword light that fell from the sky was like the destruction of the stars.
The sword light that rose from Fengming City below was like the eruption of underground fire.
The former was Chu Yaoguang's Scattered Stars Sword.
The latter was the Bright Barbarian Sword, the supreme technique of the Zhao Family, which had been passed down for thousands of years.
For the Bright Barbarians, the fire was on the verge of erupting. It was filled with explosive power.
Zhao Shuo's heaven-burning sword was like the underground fire that broke through the earth and went straight into the clouds. It was about to destroy the stars and burn them to ashes.
As a Martial Emperor of the Expansion Realm, his sword light broke through the air as if it had just broken through the earth and exploded in the air.
Chu Yaoguang's sword light fell like a meteor shower.
The "rain" extinguished the "fire" continuously.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
In terms of sword techniques, Chu Yaoguang was superior.
But Zhao Shuo had the advantage of a higher realm. His sword that broke through the air was unstoppable.
When Zhao Shuo attacked, Zhao Minglun and Zhao Pingyuan didn't stay idle either. They immediately attacked.
The Bright Barbarian Sword that was identical to Zhao Shuo's erupted.
It was as if endless underground fire had exploded below Fengming City.
Sword Qi that was dark yellow and crimson in color broke through the air, covering thousands of miles of land.
Li Jie, Chen Mengyang, and the others who came with Ao Kong caught up. As they approached Fengming City, they were blocked by the sea of fire.
Even Flying Snake Yun Xing, who loved fire and earth, quickly retreated. He didn't dare to go forward.
At this moment, Huan Tianlong sneered in the air and manifested even more strange phenomena.
The characteristics of the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape and the Golden Roc appeared on his body at the same time.
At the same time, the rune on his forehead flashed. With the help of Zhang Dongyun, Ao Kong's cultivation suddenly increased.
After reaching the third stage of the Devil Dao True Body, his strength increased tremendously.
The Dual Heaven Demonic Prison distorted the space and quickly swallowed the underground fire.
The Old Emperor, Zhao Minglun, was still wondering why Ao Kong's cultivation was different from the rumors in Shu Mountain. Now that he saw the situation, he immediately threw away all distracting thoughts and attacked with all his might.
After Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong attacked, Long Te immediately followed suit.
Although he felt that his current lineup wasn't enough to break through Fengming City, he still attacked without hesitation.
With a thought from Long Te, a sea of fire appeared in the sky.
Blue flames descended from the sky and resisted the underground fire formed by the saber aura below.
Long Te knew that it would be difficult for him to achieve much in martial arts. Therefore, he gave up on his Dragon Clan's inheritance and changed to cultivating the Devil Dao. He refined the Sea Fire Tiger's demonic blood and cultivated the Sea Fire Tiger's transformation.
His Devil Dao True Body's third stage had already reconstructed his human body.
Even if he didn't use the Sea Fire Tiger transformation, he could still use most of his abilities.
At this moment, the Blue Sea Demonic Flames spread out and resisted the underground fire. Both sides were quickly defeated.
On Fengming City, Zhao Pingyuan coldly glanced at Long Te. "You ran away just now, and now you're here?"
The saber in his hand trembled, and a saber light broke through the air and appeared near Long Te.
Long Te let out a roar, and tangible ripples started to spread around his body to block the saber light.
However, Zhao Pingyuan's saber light was domineering and directly broke Long Te's Blue Sea Roar. It slashed through the tangible ripples and slashed toward Long Te.
Chu Yaoguang and Ao Kong could fight against Realm 13 opponents at Realm 12, but it didn't mean that others could do the same.
Seeing the saber light coming, Long Te could only dodge.
However, at this moment, a rune on Long Te's forehead also flashed.
Even he himself was surprised. "When did …"
Unfortunately, Long Te didn't have time to think in front of a powerful enemy.
He took a deep breath and suddenly stopped dodging Zhao Pingyuan's saber light.
In the next moment, the saber light seemed to be about to slash him.
At this moment, a shadow seemed to flash past Long Te.
Then, Zhao Pingyuan's saber was blocked by the shadow.
The saber aura that burned violently like surging underground fire stirred the shadow until it kept shaking.
Therefore, under the illumination of the fire, everyone could see the shadow's specific appearance clearly.
It was a fierce tiger with three eyes and five legs. It walked on the waves, but its entire body seemed to be burning with flames.
With just a thought from Long Te, another shadow quickly appeared in front of Zhao Pingyuan.
Zhao Pingyuan slashed out and blocked the shadow. He looked up at Long Te with unprecedented seriousness.
Even Zhao Shuo and Zhao Minglun looked over.
This was because the Long Te in front of them was already a Realm 13 expert like them!
Devil Dao True Body's fourth stage, Evil Shadow.
