Chapter 98

"You actually killed His Majesty?! You are courting death!"

"Rebellious! Truly rebellious!"

"..."

The civil and military officials were all shocked; they had not expected that Li Changsheng would actually dare to strike, would actually dare to... commit regicide?!

Among them, there was no lack of experts, but the treacherous officials were more worried about their own lives; as for the loyal officials, they did not believe Li Changsheng would really take action and truly behead Zhao Ji.

They even thought Li Changsheng would propose some conditions, reach an agreement with both sides, and then leave on his own.

The reason they did not intervene, but waited to watch the show, was also because they had some dissatisfaction with Zhao Ji and wanted Li Changsheng to teach Zhao Ji a lesson; yet they truly had not expected Li Changsheng to be bold to such an extent, to have stabbed the sky, directly beheading Zhao Ji on the spot.

Of course, in reality, whether they intervened or not was of no consequence.

After all, even an Earth Immortal, suppressing the air with a Dharma Domain, could not stop Li Changsheng, let alone them.

"Eh?!"

"You actually broke my Dharma Domain?!"

Just at this moment, a voice of surprise rang out, and the Earth Immortal outside the great hall finally appeared.

A feminine man wearing a bright red robe, his face as cold as water, and wherever he passed, even the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees out of thin air.

This feminine man walked into the great hall, saw a headless corpse wearing a dragon robe lying on the dragon throne, was first startled, and then became incomparably furious.

"Audacious!"

"You... you actually killed the Song Huang?!"

This Earth Immortal was also stunned, never having imagined that someone would actually, in broad daylight, kill an emperor.

Of course, more importantly, this Earth Immortal had not expected that even though he had already taken action, Li Changsheng still dared to strike?!

He was an Earth Immortal!

Daring to strike after he had appeared... did this person not want to live anymore?!

He had already suppressed the great hall with his Dharma Domain, thinking it was foolproof, but he had not expected that someone could break through his Dharma Domain suppression and directly kill the Great Song Huang Zhao Ji!

Boom!

A vast aura suppressed downward, and the entire imperial palace began to tremble.

This was the wrath of an Earth Immortal!

Li Changsheng's actions had completely enraged the Earth Immortal before him.

"And who are you?!"

Li Changsheng remained unmoved; instead of fleeing, he asked with interest.

"This one is the Great Song's foundational guardian, Earth Immortal, Sunflower Ancestor!"

Sunflower Ancestor spoke, his feminine voice laced with a chilling intent.

"Good courage! Truly good courage!"

"After killing the Song Huang, not only did you not flee, but you dare to face this one directly!"

"And under this one's pressure, you are not affected in the slightest!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Wang Chongyang is truly lucky to have received a disciple like you!"

"An eight-year-old Great Grandmaster, a nine-year-old Heavenly Man... you are indeed a genius of the world!"

"If given the opportunity and time, perhaps you could truly dominate an era!"

"What a pity! Truly a pity! It is a pity that you met this one!"

"If I kill such a genius of the world, Wang Chongyang will surely be very pained, the world will surely lose its color... and this one will surely be very happy!"

He was expressionless, holding his orchid-shaped fingers, but his tone was filled with complex emotions, as if he were praising Li Changsheng, and yet also as if he were looking at a beautiful work of art.

"Just by you?!"

Li Changsheng did not get angry; his gaze lifted slightly, and he said coldly.

"Hmph! No wonder you dared to take action and kill the Song Huang on the spot!"

"It seems you are truly... arrogant! You do not know what is good for you!"

"Die!"

Sunflower Ancestor did not say more; with a boom, a huge crimson sunflower bloomed from the void, like a great sun, its terrifying aura causing the temperature of the entire hall to rise by dozens of degrees as it headed toward Li Changsheng.

This was the Sunflower Dharma Domain, intended to completely suppress Li Changsheng!

"Control Sword! Break Dharma! Slash!"

Li Changsheng was naturally fearless; with a light shout, a cyan brilliance emerged from his dantian, mixed with the power to break Dharma, and it actually directly slashed through Sunflower Ancestor's Sunflower Dharma Domain, his figure moving a thousand miles in an instant, rushing toward the high sky.

"What kind of sword is this?! It can actually break through this one's Dharma Domain?!"

Sunflower Ancestor was incomparably shocked; although Zhao Ji's death had made him sense that his Dharma Domain had been broken, it was only when he truly saw Li Changsheng take action that he discovered his Dharma Domain hadn't just been broken, but was fundamentally unable to block him at all!

"Even without the Sunflower Dharma Domain, this one can still behead you!"

"Little beast! This one will let you see what a true Earth Immortal is!"

"How great the gap is between a Heavenly Man and an Earth Immortal!"

Sunflower Ancestor chuckled and rushed straight toward Li Changsheng; his voice was not loud, but the feminine sound fell into the ears of the crowd like a needle piercing into their minds.

"Sunflower Ancestor has taken action! That little beast Li Changsheng is doomed!"

"Damn little beast! He actually beheaded His Majesty?! Simply rebellious! He deserves to die!"

"Good! Good! This little beast is finally going to die! Regardless of anything else, Sunflower Ancestor is an Earth Immortal; a nine-year-old Heavenly Man is indeed a supreme genius and very shocking, but he must die in the end!"

"..."

At this very moment, the civil and military officials seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, all of them united in hatred, scolding Li Changsheng.

"Is he really... doomed?!"

Prime Minister Cai Jing remained silent, a strange premonition in his heart; he felt that Li Changsheng might very well... not die!

"Is this... sound wave technique?!"

Hearing Sunflower Ancestor's feminine voice, a surge of fire seemed to be permeating Li Changsheng's entire body, and in his eyes, various illusions emerged, as if he were about to suffer from qi deviation.

Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao!

Within Li Changsheng's mind, a Lord of Ten Thousand Demons appeared and disappeared; it was the Supreme Heavenly Demon, formless and imageless, lawless and heavenless, directly suppressing that feminine voice. Regardless of how harsh, how vibrating to the mind, or how many illusions that feminine voice created, he remained unmoved.

"Sunflower Divine Needle!"

Just at this moment, Sunflower Ancestor's large hand beckoned lightly, spiritual energy gathered, the power of the sunflower appeared, turning the void into reality, transforming into ten thousand divine needles, covering Li Changsheng!

Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra!

Li Changsheng faced it indifferently; behind him, a martial arts intent appeared, a dragon and an elephant intertwined, emitting an ancient aura, the dragon's roar vibrating, the elephant's roar bellowing, and those ten thousand Sunflower Divine Needles shattered one by one, dissipating into spiritual energy.

"How is this possible?!"

"What kind of cultivation technique is this, to actually manifest such a terrifying martial arts intent?!"

"This one's martial arts intent has already turned into substance, yet it cannot do anything to this illusory martial arts intent?!"

Sunflower Ancestor was truly shocked this time; he looked at Li Changsheng with unprecedented solemnity, no longer having any sense of contempt.

Li Changsheng was rebellious and had beheaded the Song Huang; Sunflower Ancestor had thought this was his arrogance and recklessness!

Li Changsheng had broken his Sunflower Dharma Domain, and Sunflower Ancestor had initially thought this was his luck; but now, Li Changsheng had once again destroyed his Sunflower Divine Needles, finally causing Sunflower Ancestor to take him seriously, knowing this was not an accident, but strength!

After all, once or twice could be an accident, but the third time was absolutely not!

Within a short moment, Li Changsheng and Sunflower Ancestor had exchanged hundreds of blows, the terrifying aura causing the void to vibrate and heaven and earth to tremble, as if they were about to flip the entire imperial city over.

"What is going on?! This sound... is it thundering?!"

"Thunder?! In broad daylight, under a clear sky, why is it thundering?!"

"..."

The exchange between Li Changsheng and Sunflower Ancestor was like thunder, startling the common people of the Great Song capital, Lin'an City, who thought they were hallucinating, as if it were about to rain.

"Thunder... wait! No! This vibration of heaven and earth... this is a supreme expert taking action!"

"Hiss! What on earth has happened?! Why are they taking action above the imperial city? Are they not afraid of the wrath of Great Song's experts?!"

"Such a terrifying aura... could it be two Earth Immortals?!"

"..."

But many Heavenly Man Realm martial artists reacted one after another; this was not thunder, but supreme experts taking action, very likely... two Earth Immortals!

"A nine-year-old Heavenly Man has actually exchanged hundreds of blows with this one?!"

"Such a record is enough to make countless geniuses of the world lose their color! It is enough to be recorded in the history books of the martial arts world!"

"You are indeed an eight-year-old Great Grandmaster, a nine-year-old Heavenly Man!"

"But... it ends here!"

The more they fought, the more Sunflower Ancestor was shocked; he discovered that Li Changsheng's strength was rapidly increasing, increasing to the point where a kind of fear could not help but emerge in his heart.
