Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 792 - 651

Chapter 792: 651

At the time when his armored iron cavalry was being devastated and slaughtered by the Shenji Camp, Liang Heng himself was desperately dodging that multi-colored divine light in the air.

Taking advantage of Xiao Ci as a ’human shield’, Liang Heng managed to flee nearly two miles in an instant, and desperately changed course in mid-air, trying to shake off these ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needles’ of the fourth stage.

The Immortal Artifact armguard ’Taiyin Magnetic God Arm’ on Liang Heng’s body also exerted an unparalleled magnetic attraction and repulsion force at this moment, trying to interfere with those multi-colored lights.

Those four ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needles’ are like soul-searching curses, rigidly locked onto his aura and figure.

Although they move at a speed approximating light, they are surprisingly nimble, and their speed of transformation far surpasses that of Liang Heng.

Only the Taiyin magnetism can affect the Peacock Secret Method, causing intense conflicts between the two magnetic forces and creating bursts of air explosions in the sky.

However, due to the short distance, Liang Heng, despite his best efforts, could not twist the direction of these four ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needles’ and could only slow them down slightly.

Knowing that he could not shake them off, he let out a sudden thunder-like roar before the ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needles’ came close, and his muscles and skeleton bulged, enlarging his whole body by nearly twice in an instant.

He used both the ’Dragon-Demon Dharma Phase’ and ’Transforming into Dragon’ techniques simultaneously, and also held a broad shield in front of him.

Another item of Immortal Treasure around Liang Heng’s waist started to sparkle. This belt, embedded with seven-colored gemstones, began to provide him with nearly infinite strength.

Originally, Liang Heng could command the force of ten thousand armies which would have increased his combat power to the pinnacle of the ’Great Heavenly Position’ realm.

However, at this moment, Liang Heng found that his cavalry had been completely annihilated, and even the Jingying Forbidden Army and the army of Weisuo on the shore had also been greatly defeated.

Then, in the next moment, the supreme magical implement shield in Liang Heng’s hand was blasted into pieces, and his armor and body were pierced.

The four multi-colored divine lights penetrated out from his back and surprisingly flew out a full ten miles before their brilliance faded.

"Li Xuan, you bastard, I will kill you."

Liang Heng spat out blood from his mouth, along with a large amount of internal organ fragments. At the same time, he looked towards Li Xuan’s direction from afar, his eyes filled with severe malice and murderous intent.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, that even if he had to sacrifice his life today, he must kill Li Xuan!

If he could not eliminate this person, he could not vent the hate in his heart.

But as soon as he tried to suppress the surging qi and blood in his body, a black light suddenly descended from the sky. It was a three-legged little tripod, which was originally the size of a football, but when it fell above Liang Heng, it had ballooned to a hundred feet in diameter, weighing ten thousand jin.

Liang Heng had no time to evade; he could only unleash a roar like a beast, and with a slash upwards, he expended all the Zhenyuan Gangqi from his body.

However, his sword aura was utterly shattered under the oppressive force of this gigantic tripod, and then Liang Heng himself was forced to kneel halfway on the ground by this colossal force.

At this moment, Liang Heng was not only internally injured, coughing up blood, but even his Primordial Spirit was nearly shattered by the strike, and he was bleeding from all his seven orifices.

"Rule of Extreme Heaven!"

Liang Heng managed to utter the words with difficulty, recognizing that the divine treasure’s prototype held by Li Xuan was called the ’Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron’.

The ’Zhenya’ technique wielded by Yu Jie not only suppressed his Qi and Zhenyuan but also his thoughts and intentions, making his mind unable to operate.

Several miles away, sitting on the Jade Qilin, Li Xuan watched the scene with a calm expression, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

After suppressing Liang Heng with the ’Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron’, Li Xuan emotionlessly pointed his whip and commanded: "Order all the soldiers of the army, target the rebel Liang Heng. Three-section shooting! For the Emperor, for the Jin Dynasty, make sure to kill this fiend here!"

In an instant, all the Shenji Camp soldiers turned their firearms towards Liang Heng, resulting in a loud ’whirling’ sound.

The field breechloader cannons on the ice also turned, aiming their barrels at Liang Heng.

Due to their positioning, the eight thousand soldiers from Yiwu were obstructed at the back, unable to shoot at Liang Heng. They marched in organized steps towards the banks of the Chaobai River, shouting military slogans, trying to find a suitable shooting angle.

But before they could do so, the Central Army and right wing of the Shenji Camp had already opened fire. The nine thousand soldiers in the first column of the square formation pulled the trigger simultaneously. A series of ’bangs’ echoed as a barrage of metal bullets were fired at Liang Heng.

Liang Heng’s Henglian Golden Body was unparalleled among his contemporaries. When using the secret technique ’Transforming into Dragon’, his flesh body was particularly strong, and his Gang Yuan mana was incredibly robust.

Even in the state of being suppressed by the ’Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron’, Liang Heng’s Henglian Golden Body was able to withstand the bombardment of a heavenly level warrior without dying.

However, the nearly ten thousand bullets along with the nearly hundred shells were incredibly mighty. A single salvo caused Liang Heng’s around him to shatter and collapse.

The bullets then hit Liang Heng’s body. Although the bullets couldn’t break through his golden body, the impact of the bullets seeped into his body, causing blood to gush from his mouth, and his Zhenyuan was on the brink of disintegration.

Immediately after, the second round of shooting began, with nine thousand ’Rune Flintlock Rifled Guns’ spewing fire and unleashing a lethal barrage of metal bullets.

These bullets might not all hit the target, especially the cannonballs, some of which veered off course due to collisions in midair.

But just the portion that hit was enough to shatter Liang Heng’s organs and turn the flesh under his skin into a pulpy mass.

Then came the second round, the third round, the fourth round -

Liang Heng was completely powerless to resist, his eyes wide open, nearly bursting at the seams.

He knew that Li Xuan did not need to use the method of simultaneous gunfire if he wanted to kill him at this point. The latter clearly wanted to humiliate him by subjecting him to a torture akin to ’lingchi’ (death by a thousand cuts).

Such a damned mongrel!

Liang Heng almost ground his teeth to dust, as a sense of regret surfaced in his heart.

If he had known there would be such a day, he would never have crossed Li Xuan at the Lanyue House, no matter what. Or else, he would have done everything possible to kill him afterwards!

※※※※

"Annihilate him with ten thousand bullets?"

When they commenced the sixth round of firing, Li Chengji already flew high up, hovering in front of Li Xuan: "Liang Heng was a conceited and arrogant man, especially proud of his tactical knowledge. Today you destroyed his army and killed him on the battlefield with ten thousand arrows. This way of doing things, it’s even more tormenting for him than slitting him in a court."

Li Chengji’s eyes were filled with comfort, satisfaction, relaxation, and joy.

He didn’t expect that Li Xuan could not only win the battle of Chaobai River, but also win it so splendidly.

Li Xuan commanded an army of one hundred thousand against an enemy thrice their size and was the one who initiated the crossing of the river - on paper, all disadvantages were on their side, and Li Xuan seemed to have broken nearly all the taboos of warfare.

Yet, not only did Li Xuan secure a glorious victory, eliminating thirteen thousand Iron Cavalry right here and shattering the core power of the noble generals in the north, the casualties of Shenji right and left camp remained under one thousand. Even with the Transport Army, it didn’t exceed three thousand men.

His old friend, Ou Chen, was right, his son was indeed the progeny of famous generals, the incarnation of the military god.

No, he had seen it long before.

When many people called his son a prodigal with no ability, only Li Chengji believed that Xuan had divine potential, and exceptional talent, he just hadn’t yet settled his mind and unfolded his potential.

Indeed, when Xuan eventually turned over a new leaf, what followed was a resounding success and stratospheric rise.

Li Xuan seemed calm on the surface, but anger still festered in his heart: "He got off easy! If it weren’t for this treacherous, villainous jerk, we wouldn’t be suffering like this today!"

Without Liang Heng, the Zhengtong Emperor and the Empress Dowager, no matter how deep their power and connection ran, wouldn’t dare to launch a palace coup.

If the palace coup hadn’t happened, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Beijing Weisuo Army wouldn’t have died here, the Jingtai Emperor wouldn’t have had to fight prematurely, and Yan—

At this point, he already knew about the incident where Luo Yan, in the Forbidden City, used the secret techniques of Buddhism, consumed her life power to fight Liang Heng, and her hair turned white overnight.

This ignited a furious rage within Li Xuan, wishing he could personally butcher this man, condemning him to eternal suffering without rebirth!

Li Xuan was just about to do that when he looked back and saw a figure falling from the sky in the distance: "Biluo, what did Master Zhang say?"

"As you predicted, Master Zhang had prepared more than one soul lamp for Li Zhetian and Zhang Guanlan."

As Dugu Biluo continued speaking, she passed a purple palace lantern towards Li Xuan: "This is the Nine Quiets Soul Refining Lantern he crafted personally, taken from the Nine Quiets wicked flames. It can take a person’s Shenpo, torture it with soul refining pain for eight hundred years—"

Dugu Biluo’s voice abruptly stopped as her pupils contracted, for a magnificent and vast surge of Zhenyuan Gangqi was erupting from above Li Xuan.

Without the protection of the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron, Dugu Biluo was immediately repelled dozens of zhang away by this explosive surge.

From the edges of her vision, she saw a man wearing a white tiger mask in the sky, using a golden big seal stamp to smash downwards.

The seal stamp transformed into a shape of three zhang in radius, and beneath the seal stamp were the ancient seal characters for ’Zhenhun’.

This object also contained the Rule of Extreme Heaven. The word ’Zhenhun’ alone commanded the authority to suppress all the demons and ghosts in this world and the underworld.

When Li Xuan was suppressed by this ’Zhenhun Seal’, his Primordial Spirit was almost completely held down, only his Liuli Haoqi maintained his deep consciousness.

At this moment, another figure appeared behind him. This person wore a mask depicting a ’Ziwei Star Map’, and in his hand, he held a purple eight-sided Han sword, aiming directly for Li Xuan’s neck.

This sword also contained the Rule of Extreme Heaven ’Debilitating’. The sword hadn’t even struck yet, but Li Xuan’s body started weakening due to the influence of this Rule of Extreme Heaven.

"Mortal Li Xuan, you’ve disturbed the heavenly machine and confused destiny, your death is near! We are here under orders to send you to the west."

Following this, the Lord of Qinglong Palace appeared. He sighed lightly, pointing towards Li Xuan from the distance. Boundless wood Zhenyuan gangqi washed over Li Xuan’s body, clashing violently against Li Xuan’s Zhenyuan Gangqi.

The Lord of Zime Palace huffed at this sight. She suspected that the Lord of Qinglong Palace was not only going easy but also covertly aiding Li Xuan.

The wood Zhenyuan gangqi that the Lord of Qinglong Palace, Si Shenhua, had poured into Li Xuan’s body didn’t suppress Li Xuan’s resistance at all. Instead, it stimulated his Primordial Spirit, allowing him to break free of the suppression of the two Rules of Extreme Heaven, ’Zhenhun’ and ’Debilitating’.

But the Lord of Zimei Palace didn’t care at all after this. She thought that even with the covert aid from the Lord of Qinglong Palace, Li Xuan’s death was still inevitable.

At this moment, she only regretted that they arrived a step too late. Despite rushing diligently the entire journey, they still missed the Battle of Chaobai River.

She didn’t predict that Li Xuan would be able to wipe out Liang Heng’s three hundred thousand man army in barely under two hours.

Thankfully, today they only needed to kill Li Xuan, then this scrambled heavenly order might yet find some chance for redemption.

"Die!"

With her eyes wide with rage, the lord of Zimei Palace slashed a bloody wound on Li Xuan’s neck.

Li Xuan was calm on the surface, but he was marshalling his strength for a counterattack.

At that moment, his second mind was already thirty zhang away.

Li Xuan had brought his second mind here as a safeguard for the unexpected, and the unexpected had truly happened.

But next, he and the princess of Zimei heard a clear and derisive sneer at the same time.

"You want to kill him? Have you asked me first?"

Boom!

At that moment, the skull of the Lord of Baihu Palace in the sky exploded like a watermelon, splashing blood and flesh all over the place.
