Chapter 342
342 Spitting saliva
“This old fellow actually still has such a method at such an old age.”
Holding Zhao Weiyu’s head, mo ruhai’s face was slightly pale.
In the battle just now, he had thought that he would win easily and with a greater advantage. However, when they really started fighting, they realized that the situation was not like that.
Zhao Weiyu was old and frail. He had thought that he had died of old age decades ago, but he had actually survived until now.
However, no matter what, he no longer had the mighty power of the ‘divine general’.
However, this old general, who had once fought in the Imperial Guards of Yulin royal guards and made countless contributions to Great Yan, had a strong will to fight, so much so that mo ruhai was shocked.
In particular, he knew very well where the other party’s will to fight came from.
This made it even more difficult for him to calm down.
The Zhao clan had suffered the emperor’s grace, but was the mo clan not? Mo ruhai’s grandfather, the previous clan leader of the mo clan, was the Prime Minister. In his generation, although he had not yet become one of the three dukedoms, he was still Taichang and had always been known as the head of the nine ministers.
Over the years, the mo clan had never been less rewarded than the Zhao clan. All kinds of preferential treatment proved that the mo family of Yan city was a legitimate prominent family of the Empire and the emperor’s confidant.
But in the end, the Zhao family’s chief, imperial censor Zhao Guangxin, was forced to die on the front line of Pingzhou. The old Zhao Weiyu, who was on the verge of death, had no choice but to leave the mountain in his twilight years. He dragged his body, which was already like a lamp on the verge of death, to find a way out for the Li Dynasty and fight to the death.
And he, mo ruhai, had thrown himself into someone else’s arms early on.
“It’s not wrong for me to not ridicule you. Although our mo clan has received the emperor’s grace, we have returned what we should have. When His Majesty was planning to break through to the materialization realm, the mo family also supported him. I also personally went to the front line in Pingzhou and almost died like Zhao Guang Xin.”
“We will fight to the death. His Majesty will die first. This is not our fault, Zhenzhen.”
after his Majesty’s death, a large group of cultivators from the Qingfeng sect and Yunxiao sect entered the capital of Yan. The Li Dynasty changed, and it was already a foregone conclusion. It was inevitable that they would look down on the mo family, and we have already done our best to help the Li Dynasty.
“If I, mo ruhai, was the only one, it would be natural for me to fight to the death for the Li clan’s Empire and even follow His Majesty. However, my mo family, from top to bottom, has more than ten thousand people. We don’t want to sacrifice all our lives for a failed operation that is just a futile struggle after the failure.”
One thought after another passed through mo ruhai’s mind. Some were farfetched, while some were more or less reasonable. But no matter what, these reasons were purely used to comfort himself.
He himself knew this.
But what could he do?
People had to find a reason to live.
……
His mind was in a mess, but the road would eventually come to an end.
He saw the blood-soaked crowd and the battlefield.
A battle involving several high-level golden core cultivators, how could it be a small one?
The entire Street was in ruins. Even if the Jindan cultivators didn’t intend to kill the people living here, there were still innocent people who died.
Fortunately, the inner city was not like the outer city. Those who lived in the inner city were mostly cultivators, and there were very few ordinary people. For cultivators, the death rate was not that high if they sensed the abnormality and ran away. After all, the battle between the Golden core cultivators was not directed at them.
Of course, most of the people who died here were people gathered by the three great clans.
Of course, those who went to kidnap Li Xuanhao were all experts. The participants had to be at least in the initial enlightenment stage. There were a total of three Jindan experts, one from the Zhang and Zhao families, and one from the Imperial court.
At the same time, the three great clans had also arranged for people to be stationed on the periphery to provide support.
After Lu mingchao’s surprise attack was in place, the three great families, who had not had the time to hide, could only meet the enemy head-on.
Logically speaking, the two golden core cultivators that the Zhang family and the Imperial court had nurtured were both at the intermediate stage and above. They were not afraid when they saw Lu mingchao, who was only at the early stage of the Golden core realm, chasing after them in a hurry. Although the appearance of the sudden teleportation was very strange, and the nature of the true essence he controlled was also mysterious and dangerous. However, the experience they had accumulated on the long road of cultivation told them that in this world, cultivation was always the most important. The two mid-stage golden core cultivators should be able to take down the early stage golden core cultivator very quickly.
However, it turned out that their past experience could not be applied to Lu mingchao.
They did not manage to capture Lu mingchao despite their joint attack.
This golden core female cultivator of the Lu family was too ghostly and invisible. It was extremely difficult to restrict his ability to walk through the void.
If that was all, then it was fine. More importantly, other than being agile and difficult to catch, Lu mingchao’s killing power was also excessively strong. If they were not careful and Lu mingchao got close to them, they would feel extremely threatened by the void true vitality that had the characteristics of annihilation. At the same time, Ming Chao’s Platinum-colored, simple-looking magic sword was extremely sharp and had an extremely powerful ability to transmit true essence. It made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Besiege and then quickly take him down?
Stop dreaming.
They had attacked rashly at the beginning of the battle, but Lu mingchao had seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack. If it weren’t for the fact that the two of them were taking care of each other, and that their cultivation was indeed stronger, they might have suffered a heavier injury.
However, after this wave of attacks, the two of them had basically dispelled the idea of taking down Lu mingchao quickly. However, if it was a normal siege or battle, it would be extremely difficult to force Lu mingchao to retreat.
They thought of many ways, took out all kinds of trump cards, and used all kinds of explosive means, but in the end, they failed.
Lu mingchao did not covet the credit and dragged on until Li Yanling and the others arrived.
With the five Jindan gathered, there was nothing more to say.
Two Jindan had died in a battle to the death, and the remaining self-proclaimed impassioned Warriors basically had no way of surviving. Even Li Xuanhao felt a tragic and impassioned feeling when he saw so many people die for him.
I don’t want to see the end of Great Yan! he raised his head and sighed. I’ve let down my ancestors!
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and killed himself.
He looked as if he was not the one who had knelt down to the Lu family and fought with his uncle to become the puppet emperor two to three months ago.
In essence, Li Xuanhao knew that he would not be able to survive this Prison Break.
However, with a few golden core cultivators around, it was impossible for Li Xuanhao to die Here even if he wanted to.
His suicide attempt was stopped. He couldn’t even cut off his own meridians. His entire body was sealed by the Golden core cultivator’s true essence.
When he saw mo ruhai carrying Zhao Weiyu’s head over, Li Xuanhao’s gaze was still fixed on him.
Mo ruhai didn’t dare to meet the eyes of this Imperial grandson. Even if the other party spat at him, he would pretend he didn’t see it.
