Chapter 79

A voice came, and it was Li Li Li Zhangsheng who spoke.

"Hmm?! Daoist... Li?!"

Leader Leader Qiao Feng naturally recognized Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s voice.

"Eh?! A little Daoist?!"

"Who... are you?!"

Helian Helian Tieshu’s footsteps, which were preparing to leave, stopped.

"You attacked me first; now you are leaving at will without my consent... is this not putting me in your eyes?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng did not answer but asked, looking up slightly, asking with extreme seriousness.

"Just a little Daoist?!"

"We need your consent to leave?! Simply... looking for death!"

Western Xia Yipintang Helmsman Li spoke, and killing intent surged out.

He was already in a bad mood because the Yipintang experts were all wiped out, and he had only endured it because of the unknown land-based immortal. Now, seeing Li Li Li Zhangsheng speak suddenly, he was furious.

"Sigh!"

"Why do you... have to force me to take action?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng sighed slightly, and before the words were finished, a sword light went across the sky, indestructible, illuminating the firmament.

"This sword light... is it him?!"

Western Xia Yipintang Helmsman Li was terrified. He never imagined that the owner of the terrifying light just now was actually such a little Daoist.

"Go!"

Helian Helian Tieshu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he roared loudly. His reaction was not fast enough; his body moved, and in an instant, he was a hundred meters away.

At the same time, Duan Duan Yanqing was even more so. In his fear, he didn't even have time to speak and hurried away.

But unfortunately, it was already too late.

The light had not yet arrived, but the Azure Heaven Sword had arrived. Two heads soared into the sky; one corpse fell heavily to the ground!

Western Xia Great General of the East, peak heaven-human martial artist, Helian Helian Tieshu, dead!

Western Xia Yipintang Helmsman, peak heaven-human martial artist, Helmsman Li, dead!

Western Xia Yipintang Vice Helmsman, middle-stage heaven-human martial artist, Duan Duan Yanqing, meridians broken, seriously injured, almost dying!

One sword light, terrifying to this extent!

"Daoist Li, so amazing! Is this really a... heaven-human?!"

Leader Leader Qiao Feng was shocked, his mouth wide open, completely shocked!

He knew Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s cultivation was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be this extraordinary.

Even though Leader Leader Qiao Feng was already a peak heaven-human and had condensed the Dragon-Subduing Dharma Image, he was not this terrifying.

The three heaven-humans he had been fighting fiercely against were killed or seriously injured by one sword in an instant, which could be called destructive and peerless!

And he had been fighting fiercely for a long time.

It wasn't just Leader Leader Qiao Feng who was stunned.

In the mountain forest, the Beggar Sect elders, disciples, martial arts masters, including the Murong family’s Bao Butong, Feng Bo’e, A’zhu, A’bi, Wang Wang Wang Yuyan, and Duan Yu, all lost their voices again, feeling extremely shocked!

Although, just a moment ago, they had already been shocked by Li Li Li Zhangsheng’s sword light twice.

But now, seeing it for the third time, the feeling of shock not only didn't weaken but became stronger and more terrified!

Just then, Li Li Li Zhangsheng waved his large sleeve, and the seriously injured Duan Duan Yanqing rose into the air and landed in front of Duan Yu, "Duan Yu, this is your father! Your biological father!"

In the Apricot Forest.

At this moment, the ancient trees and giant timber were all destroyed; heavy armor lay shattered and scattered, warhorses neighed in mournful agony; corpses were piled like mountains, blood flowed like a river—a scene of utter, tragic devastation.

"Hmm?!"

Duan Yu was stunned, as if he hadn't heard what Li Li Li Zhangsheng said, but the next instant, his eyes widened abruptly, his lips trembling as he asked in disbelief.

"Daoist Priest Li, y-you... what did you say?! My... biological father?!"

He was dumbfounded, completely at a loss for what to do!

Duan Yu had come to the Apricot Forest originally because of his sworn brother, Leader Leader Qiao Feng, intending to watch the drama, eat some melon, and perhaps lend a hand if needed.

As it turned out, he hadn't really helped with anything, but in the blink of an eye, he had gained two younger sisters, and now, unexpectedly, he had gained a... father?! And a biological one at that?!

If this man were his biological father, then what was the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Duan Duan Zhengchun?!

Was he his biological mother?!

"This is... my father?!"

"He's so ugly!"

Upon hearing this, A'zhu looked at Duan Duan Yanqing and blurted it out.

She had just heard Li Li Li Zhangsheng say that her own father was the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Duan Duan Zhengchun, who was also Duan Yu's father.

And if the disabled Duan Duan Yanqing before them was Duan Yu's biological father, wouldn't that mean he was her biological father as well?!

"This is not the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, but the head of the Four Great Evils, Duan Duan Yanqing, the 'Most Evil of All'!"

"Wait! Duan Duan Yanqing also has the surname Duan?! Could it be that he is related to the Duan clan of Dali?! Is he also a descendant of the Dali Duan clan?!"

Leader Leader Qiao Feng descended from high above and spoke.

He hadn't previously thought that Duan Duan Yanqing came from the Dali Duan clan, but hearing Li Li Li Zhangsheng's words now, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

So that was it!

So Daoist Priest Li had misidentified him!

Or perhaps Daoist Priest Li was intentionally joking about Duan Duan Yanqing?!

Thinking of this, Duan Yu let out a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, feeling that he had understood the meaning behind Li Li Li Zhangsheng's words.

"Daoist Priest Li, y-you... please stop joking with me!"

"It was my fault just now! I spoke without thinking! I shouldn't have called you cruel!"

Duan Yu gave a bitter smile, seemingly believing that Li Li Li Zhangsheng was teasing him because of his earlier remark about cruelty, so he hurriedly apologized.

Otherwise, this joke would truly have scared him to death.

"What joke?!"

"Everything I said is true."

Suddenly, Duan Yu's expression stiffened, and just as he was wondering whether to speak, he heard Li Li Li Zhangsheng continue.

"Duan Duan Yanqing, head of the Four Great Evils, titled the 'Most Evil of All'! But he is not merely the head of the Four Great Evils; he is also the former Crown Prince Duan Yanqing of Dali!"

"I will say it again, Duan Yu, he is your father! Your biological father!"

"I am not joking with you! If you don't believe me, go back and ask your mother!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng's expression was incomparably serious, as if he were recounting a cruel fact.

So serious that Duan Yu's heart couldn't help but thud, a bad feeling arising: Could it be that I am truly not my father's biological son?!

"Of course, you can ask him as well."

As he spoke, Li Li Li Zhangsheng glanced at Duan Duan Yanqing, and amidst the man's dead-hearted gaze, he uttered a sixteen-character mantra: "Outside the Dragon Temple, beneath the Bodhi tree, a disheveled beggar, Guanyin's long hair!"

"Y-you... you..."

"H-he... he..."

Duan Duan Yanqing was stunned; his eyes, which had previously held no hope, suddenly turned gentle, filled with radiance.

He looked at Li Li Li Zhangsheng, then at Duan Yu, seemingly wanting to say something, but he was already disabled and could only use ventriloquism; yet, now, severely wounded, even his ventriloquism was failing him.

"Yes!"

"This is your son, your biological son!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded with great certainty.

Seeing the sudden change in Duan Duan Yanqing's expression, Duan Yu's mind went completely blank; even though he didn't want to believe it a thousand times, ten thousand times over, he knew that this might just be self-deception.

Li Li Li Zhangsheng no longer paid attention to Duan Duan Yanqing, but looked at the dazed, almost spiritless Duan Yu and said indifferently, "First, I know you don't believe it!"

"But think carefully: all the children born to your father's lovers were girls, so why is it that when it came to your mother, she gave birth to a son for him?!"

"Second, if you want to know the truth, take Duan Duan Yanqing back and ask your mother!"

"Third, if you have the chance when you return, tell Master Master Yideng that I am grateful for his traveling thousands of miles to Lin'an City to assist, which is why I spared Duan Duan Yanqing's life—consider it a return of the favor! I hope he can teach Duan Duan Yanqing well!"

Duan Yu listened to Li Li Li Zhangsheng's words absent-mindedly, wanting to open his mouth several times, but Li Li Li Zhangsheng gave him no opportunity.

"Chief Leader Leader Qiao, they are all weak and have lost their true qi; they must have been poisoned. You can search Helian Helian Tieshu's body; you should be able to find the antidote!"
