Chapter 565: Killing Is Just a Breath

Li Yi knew very well that intimidating others did not rely on words, but on force, pure force. Without force that could make people feel fear, your prestige could not be established. Why was the Emperor so awe-inspiring? Because the Emperor held the power of life and death over the civil and military officials and possessed supreme power, he also had to have supreme strength.

If there was no strength, even the Emperor would be hollowed out and ignored.

Therefore, Li Yi acted very decisively, using his fist intent to intimidate the officials, ignoring their incense belief power protection, and letting them feel the terror of a pure martial artist.

Under his fist intent.

The previous officials showed ugly states, either collapsing on the ground, fainting on the spot, or being shaken by his Dragon-Tiger power, with blood flowing from their eyes and noses, which was unbearable to look at. And even if Li Yi put away his fist intent, as long as they saw him again, fear would arise again, and their bodies would tremble unknowingly.

To break this state, unless they also practiced fist intent and used fist intent to break fist intent, otherwise they would be like this for the rest of their lives.

"Ministers, why are you all not speaking? Was my laughter too loud, scaring you? Or is it that you adults only have this much ability, and can't even stand in front of me? If so, the country and society relying on you soft-footed shrimps would truly be finished."

Li Yi's tone was flat at this moment, scanning those people, his fist intent not restrained. Wherever he passed, no one dared to look at him.

"This Daoist is evil..."

A burly military general had a gloomy face at this moment, gritting his teeth, resisting the suppression of the fist intent. But even if he could barely resist, it was extremely uncomfortable, as if his mind had been heavily punched, making people have splitting headaches and cold sweat.

"Am I hallucinating? Why do I vaguely see this Daoist turning into a god, intimidating the officials?"

Some officials who were further away were also heart-pounding at this moment. As long as they looked at Li Yi, they felt a god pressing down, making people tremble and unable to move.

Crown Prince Zhao Jing also had cold sweat on his forehead at this moment. He closed his eyes and didn't speak, not daring to look directly at Li Yi, for fear that his mind would be destroyed, and he would be in a sorry state, collapsing on the ground.

"This is the influence of spiritual will on reality. It seems Xiao Yi's soul will power is also high. Over these years, he has truly experienced quite a bit of tempering. Whether it is strength, realm, or soul, he almost has no shortcomings. The only pity is that I left Earth too early, and he didn't read many books, so his cultural level is limited."

At this moment, Shenwu Emperor Li Jiye felt this fist intent, but secretly thought in his heart.

"Bold."

However, at this moment, Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan suddenly shouted, his voice vigorous and full of momentum. He was over a hundred years old, and his spiritual cultivation was not weak. Plus the blessing of the incense belief power of the Grand Tutor position, he was not afraid of this fist intent, and even had the strength to stand out and scold.

"Daoist Taiyi, this is the Brightness Palace, not a place for you to show off your means. Why don't you put away your spells? Don't tell me you want to shake the officials to death? If there is any mishap with the colleagues present, I will definitely ask the Emperor to execute you immediately."

Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan understood at this moment that he couldn't let Taiyi continue to mess around like this.

Otherwise, this position of National Teacher would really be taken over by this person logically, and no one would dare to oppose it anymore.

"What the poor Daoist performed is not a spell. In the imperial palace, in the hall, suppressed by Dragon-Tiger energy, who would dare to show off spells? The poor Daoist is just speaking the truth. The officials were shaken by the poor Daoist's words, which can only be blamed on them having a guilty conscience. If every person were like the Grand Tutor, upright and unyielding, then it would truly be peaceful and the world would be auspicious. Why would I, this National Teacher, need to come out of the mountains to help?"

"From this, it can be seen that those who eat and do nothing are everywhere. Since this is the case, it is better for the poor Daoist to punish the treacherous on behalf of Heaven to correct the national style."

Zuo Hanyuan was somewhat angry upon hearing this, but soon calmed down: "Daoist Taiyi's means are amazing, this official admires it. It's just that most of the people in the hall are ordinary people, not practitioners, and their bodies are a bit weak, so it is reasonable that they can't withstand the divine power of the Daoist. It's just that I don't know if this ability can intimidate those thousand-year-old monsters, evil ghosts, and evil gods."

"Naturally, it's not a problem," Li Yi said. "Does the Grand Tutor have something to say?"

"Some time ago, a person was captured in the imperial prison of the capital. It was a transformation of a thousand-year-old monster, possessing boundless strength and overwhelming ferocity. To capture it, the imperial court dispatched two Guardian Divine Generals, eighteen orthodox court deities, and numerous mountain and land gods. Only by suppressing it with the Son of Heaven's Qi of the capital was it finally subdued. If True Person Taiyi truly has the ability, he should go and slay a thousand-year-old monster as well. If he can succeed, this official will be convinced and submit to True Person Taiyi being appointed as Imperial Preceptor. If he cannot do it, I ask True Person Taiyi to voluntarily abdicate, retire to the mountains and forests, and stop disturbing the peace of the imperial court."

Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan said.

He knew that the officials in the court had already been shaken to waste by the other party. The best way at present was to find an excuse to let this Daoist Taiyi leave the capital and go out to kill demons.

As long as the other party left the capital, he would invite incense gods from all sides and monsters from all over the place to surround and kill him. He must not let such a dangerous person live.

After all, the other party had no foundation, no power, and no influence. Even if he died outside the capital, no one would avenge him.

The Crown Prince on the side was enlightened upon hearing this, and also felt that this was a good way.

If he couldn't do anything to him in the court, he would solve it outside the court.

"Good, then the poor Daoist will follow the Grand Tutor's words and behead a thousand-year-old monster. However, words are not proof, so I need to ask the Grand Tutor to be a witness." Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and then he walked over with big strides: "So the Grand Tutor will go with the poor Daoist, leave the capital, and go out to find monsters. After the matter is finished, the poor Daoist will naturally bring the Grand Tutor back safely."

Saying this, he reached out and grabbed his shoulder directly, and then a golden auspicious cloud slowly rose under his feet, truly wanting to take this Grand Tutor away from the capital.

Zuo Hanyuan was terrified upon seeing this, fearing that he would fall and die. The burly military general on the side also seemed to have a fear of heights, trembling and unable to calm down.

"Dao, Daoist, this official is just discussing the matter as it stands, with absolutely no targeting intent. Daoist, you must calm down."

He understood that the situation was stronger than the person, so he had to soften his attitude. This thousand-foot high altitude was isolated and helpless. If he were really killed, he would die for nothing.

Li Yi gave a heavy hum, not even lifting his eyelids, just spitting out a mouthful of heart-fire energy.

Instantly.

The burly military general on the side had his body spontaneously combust, and the hot aura was emitted from the inside out. In just the blink of an eye, a living person was burned to ashes like this. With a gust of wind, only a wisp of gray soil remained, drifting in the world, and even his soul did not exist.

This military general never dreamed that the one who spoke was the Grand Tutor, so why was the one killed himself?

"Does the Grand Tutor think the poor Daoist dares to kill?" Li Yi looked at him and said.

Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan was almost suffocated upon seeing this scene.

That was the Grand Marshal of the imperial court, and he was blown away with one breath? In front of such a Daoist, the officials were no different from ants. And this Daoist was not an incense god at all, not bound by incense, and the imperial court had no way to deal with him.

Could it be that he really had to mobilize the world's incense gods to kill Taiyi together?

Not to mention that this was impossible, the Emperor would not agree either.

"No, no wonder the Emperor wants to confer you as National Teacher. You are working for the Emperor," Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan suddenly understood something again and hurriedly said.

Li Yi said: "The Emperor and I are just getting what we need. If the Grand Tutor doesn't care about this matter, you are still the Grand Tutor. If not, then go with the wind now."

He laughed.

This smile made Zuo Hanyuan's hair stand on end.

But soon, Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan reacted again and hurriedly bowed respectfully: "The humble official pays respects to True Person Taiyi."

"Talking to smart people is easy. Since this is the case, the Grand Tutor should know what to do in a while. The poor Daoist doesn't want to run another trip."

Li Yi didn't say any more, but the golden auspicious cloud under his feet descended, landing on the ground again, and returned to the imperial palace.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 566 =====

Li Yi, however, gave a heavy snort. He did not even lift his eyelids, merely exhaling a breath of heart-fire.

In an instant.

The burly martial general standing to the side had his body spontaneously combust, a scorching aura radiating from the inside out. In the blink of an eye, a living person was burned to nothingness just like that. When the wind blew, only a wisp of ash remained, drifting between heaven and earth; not even his soul remained.

This martial general had never dreamed that while the Grand Tutor was the one speaking, he would be the one killed.

"Does the Grand Tutor think this Daoist dares not kill?" Li Yi looked at him and said.

Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan was almost suffocated upon seeing this scene.

That was the court's Grand Marshal, and he was blown away with a single breath? In front of such a Daoist, the hundred officials were simply no different from ants. Moreover, this Daoist was not an incense-fire deity at all; he was not bound by the shackles of incense-fire, and the imperial court had absolutely no way to deal with him.

Could it be that they really had to mobilize all the incense-fire deities of the world to jointly execute Taiyi?

Let alone that this was impossible, His Majesty would not agree either.

"No, no wonder His Majesty wants to appoint you as Imperial Preceptor. You are working for His Majesty." Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan suddenly understood something at this moment and said hurriedly.

Li Yi said: "His Majesty and I are merely taking what we each need. If the Grand Tutor does not interfere in this matter, you will remain the Grand Tutor. Otherwise, go away with the wind now."

He began to laugh.

This smile made Zuo Hanyuan's hair stand on end.

But soon, Grand Tutor Zuo Hanyuan reacted again, hurriedly bowing respectfully: "This subordinate pays respects to True Person Taiyi."

"Talking to smart people is easy. Since that is the case, the Grand Tutor should know what to do later. This Daoist does not want to make another trip."

Li Yi said no more, but the golden auspicious clouds beneath his feet descended, landing on the ground once again, returning to the imperial palace.
