Chapter 129

Almost subconsciously, she shifted rapidly to the side!

Boom!

A hammer slammed fiercely into the ground!

With forty thousand catties of divine strength, it actually smashed a huge crater into the earth!

Along with it, the entire ground began to crack!

"What is going on!"

Shao Mount Siming asked angrily, glaring at Xing Hun!

Xing Hun, who looked like a child, was equally bewildered.

For a moment, he couldn't understand what was happening at all!

Indeed!

His puppetry had never failed before, but now...

He was shocked!

But... in his current state, he couldn't afford to worry about such things.

At this very moment, facing Li Li Yuanba, their only option was to run!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Li Li Yuanba let out an angry roar and hurled a hammer at the two of them!

However, both of them possessed remarkable agility; with just a flash, they bolted into the distance!

Li Li Yuanba was furious. With a wave, the Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Cloud Cover galloped over. As he mounted the swift horse, he grabbed the hammer from the ground in one fluid motion.

Then, he gave chase with all his might!

The two of them utilized the advantage of the mountain forest, leaping between trees to escape!

Li Li Yuanba grew even angrier. Spotting an opportunity, he threw his hammer directly at an old tree!

Rumble!

The explosion of forty thousand catties of divine strength was too much, even for a tree as thick as a person's waist.

It was shattered instantly by the hammer!

Seeing this scene, Shao Mount Siming and Xing Hun were scared out of their wits!

One must know, this was an old tree!

Yet, a single blow of this divine strength had reduced it to this state!

If that were to hit a person... they didn't even dare to imagine it!

At that moment, they had no choice but to run wildly without daring to look back!

But... no matter how fast they were, how could they outrun Li Li Yuanba's horse?

The book *Biography of Tang* contains this description of Li Li Yuanba's mount, the Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Cloud Cover!

From head to tail, the horse measured fourteen feet!

From hoof to back, it stood over nine feet tall.

Its coat was solid black, as dark and lustrous as black satin!

The long hair curled in tufts—black upon black, dark within the shine; the pattern was dark, but the base was brilliant!

Looking at it as a whole, it was pitch black and gleaming!

Hence, this horse was called the Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Cloud Cover, also known as the Thousand Li Cloud-Chasing Smoke!

As for the speed of this horse...

Ten thousand li by day, eight thousand by night!

A lamp for ten thousand li, the wind-chasing white-spotted ten-thousand-li cloud, the ten-thousand-li cloud-chasing smoke, the ink-carved board-ribbed Qilin, the ten-thousand-li cloud, the wind-chasing white-spotted ten-thousand-li dragon horse!

With such a fine steed, no one could escape from Li Li Yuanba's hands!

In just a moment, Li Li Yuanba caught up to them!

He swung his hammer fiercely at Xing Hun!

"I..."

Xing Hun turned pale with fright, dodged to the side, and ran in another direction.

Shao Mount Siming didn't dare to delay either, fleeing in the opposite direction!

The two split up, thinking this would confuse Li Li Yuanba and make him unsure of whom to pursue!

Li Li Yuanba curled his lips.

Without a second thought, he chased after the closest one, Xing Hun.

In just a moment, Xing Hun was overtaken!

Li Li Yuanba struck with his hammer, smashing Xing Hun into a pulp of flesh!

Then, he didn't even glance at the pile of gore!

After killing Xing Hun, he chased after Shao Mount Siming!

"I..."

Seeing Xing Hun die so miserably, Shao Mount Siming's little face turned pale with terror!

At this moment, there was no time for delay; she could only leap through the trees and flee at top speed!

However, as the saying goes, there is no horse in this world faster than the Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Cloud Cover!

If even a horse couldn't outrun it, what chance did a human have?

In just a moment, Li Li Yuanba arrived before her!

Seeing her in the tree, Li Li Yuanba didn't waste words and smashed the old tree to pieces with one hammer blow!

Seeing Shao Mount Siming about to escape, he grabbed the iron chain she had tried to bind him with earlier and whipped it fiercely at her!

"Ah!"

Having just moved from the shattered tree, she was still in mid-air when she saw the chain coming; she instinctively tried to dodge!

But in mid-air, how could she evade it?

Boom!

The iron chain lashed fiercely against Shao Mount Siming's body!

Then, the chain coiled around her, dragging her down from the sky!

He instinctively raised his hammer, wanting to strike!

But... looking at her face, he suddenly thought of Ying Su!

"The Emperor likes beautiful women, I'll present her to him!"

Almost instantly, Li Li Yuanba made his decision!

Then... with the chain coiled around Shao Mount Siming, he galloped toward Xianyang Palace!

On the other side!

In Wang Wang Jian's residence!

Even after not sleeping all night, Wang Wang Jian found it hard to rest!

When he left Ying Zheng, he was filled with nothing but regret—regret that this battle had been lost! Fifteen thousand troops had actually failed to take Xianyang Palace!

But... once he returned home, he couldn't sleep!

He was panicked!

What if Ying Su came to settle the score?

He now possessed Li Li Cunxiao!

This was a fierce warrior who was in no way inferior to Li Li Yuanba!

Even more terrifying was that this man had bones of steel and iron, impervious to blades and spears!

If he really came, what would he do?

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret it!

He regretted agreeing to Ying Zheng's plan to attack Xianyang Palace!

But... under those circumstances, could he have refused?

Ying Zheng had even sent him a secret decree, saying he could decide the fate of the future Emperor.

If he still refused, in the eyes of the First Emperor, it would be nothing but betrayal!

The First Emperor didn't kill meritorious officials, but that depended on the situation!

For a traitor, he would absolutely show no mercy!
