Chapter 1304: Li Zhangsheng

Watching this change, it would be a lie to say Li Zhangsheng was not surprised; he never imagined that the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor would join forces to try and blast Wudi to death.

Judging from the situation just now, the Spirit Emperor was clearly kept in the dark and is currently neutral. Perhaps after the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor finish off Wudi, they might appease the Spirit Emperor, but it is equally possible that the Spirit Emperor will become their next target.

Pop—

Before Li Zhangsheng could collect his thoughts, in the blink of an eye, the Forbidden Array shrouding the entire Imperial Palace was broken in such a short amount of time.

As a rather veteran Emperor-rank, Wudi's foundation is there; how could he not have a few trump cards up his sleeve?

Wudi fled the Imperial Palace in a wretched state, flying toward the southwest.

"You calculated against me like this, I fear it is for the Imperial throne! Truly a good scheme, a good plan!"

Wudi spat out several mouthfuls of blood; to break the Forbidden Array quickly, he paid a not-insignificant price, and his injuries are even more severe.

However, while Wudi may seem a bit reckless, it does not mean he is a fool; he immediately understood the reason.

Not long ago, the Human Emperor persuaded the Bodhi King to change sides; he likely had this plan prepared at the time, then used a treasure Wudi desperately needed to lure him, forcing him to come.

Among the many top-tier Double-Character Kings, on the surface, only the Bodhi King possesses six Demon Emperor Level demon pets. As long as the Imperial throne becomes vacant, the Bodhi King likely wouldn't even have a competitor and would be directly granted the throne by the Heavenly Dao, skipping the process of vying for it.

Taking a step back, even if a competitor suddenly appeared, with the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor as solid backers, the Imperial throne would likely still be in the Bodhi King's pocket.

As for the Human Emperor's other schemes, Wudi has no spare mind to think about those; he must survive this calamity first.

Wudi's words exploded in Li Zhangsheng's heart; he associated this with the Human Emperor meeting the Xuan Emperor's envoy twice, as well as the earlier move of sending a Human Emperor Mansion Commander to visit the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Clearly, the Human Emperor is playing a very large game, and he is but one piece in it—a piece very likely to be used by the Human Emperor to win over the Xuan Emperor.

If the Human Emperor's plan succeeds, it will likely be the Human Emperor + Xuan Emperor + Phoenix Emperor + Dragon Clan + the Bodhi King after he becomes Emperor, perhaps even including the Spirit Emperor.

With such a terrifying combination, even if the remaining Blood Emperor, Wendi, Thunder Emperor, and Source Emperor joined forces to resist, they would be no match at all.

Of course, this is the theoretical best outcome, but the Human Emperor must have prepared a rigorous plan, and the possibility of success is high.

Unfortunately, the Human Emperor severely underestimated Li Zhangsheng, making him a variable.

At this very moment, there are two choices before Li Zhangsheng.

One, take advantage of the opportunity while Wudi is attracting the attention of the Human Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, and the Spirit Emperor to forcefully break through the encirclement and return to Langya Kingdom.

Two, save Wudi.

Both have pros and cons; the first choice seems good, but in reality, it is equivalent to chronic suicide. If Wudi falls, the Human Emperor's plan will basically not deviate much; after all, even without Li Zhangsheng, the Xuan Emperor might still join the Human Emperor's camp.

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng is like duckweed without roots; without a powerful backing or teammates to escort him, the consequences are severe.

Even if he fled to another world to take refuge, there is no guarantee that the Human Emperor and the others do not have the corresponding means to track him down.

Taking a step back, once Wudi falls, leading to a vacancy on the throne, Li Zhangsheng does not meet the criteria and does not yet have the qualifications to compete for the Imperial throne.

As for the second choice, wanting to save Wudi will certainly involve taking great risks, but if successful, not to mention the gains, Wudi would certainly become an ally for Li Zhangsheng to watch over and help, and crucially, it could thwart the Human Emperor's scheme.

As long as Wudi is alive, the Bodhi King cannot obtain the Imperial throne, and Wudi will also struggle to protect himself; he will certainly unite with other Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers or powerful forces like the Qilin or Phoenix at the first opportunity to form an alliance against the Human Emperor.

"If you hesitate, you will suffer from the chaos; I'll risk it!"

Li Zhangsheng did not overthink, nor did he have time to overthink, because Wudi is about to reach his limit.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng turned into a stream of light and quickly rushed out of the Quan King Mansion.

This is the Imperial Capital of the Mucang Empire; the space of the entire Imperial Capital is exceptionally solid, and even if he turned into a Dijiang, it would take some time to break the space.

As a veteran Emperor-rank, how could Wudi lack space-type treasures or methods in his hands? If he could have used them, he would have done so long ago.

The moment Li Zhangsheng rushed out of the Quan King Mansion, the three Double-Character Kings surrounding the mansion hurriedly rushed out, wanting to surround Li Zhangsheng in a triangular formation.

Just as Li Zhangsheng expected, the three were indeed all top-tier Double-Character Kings: the Qingmu King, the Bodhi King, and the Wuxiang King.

The Wuxiang King is the Human Emperor Mansion Commander; because he never shows his true face and has a fickle personality, he has the title of Wuxiang King.

In terms of strength, Bodhi King > Wuxiang King > Qingmu King. Logically, breaking through from the Qingmu King's side would be most effective, but Li Zhangsheng does not want to hurt him, and the direction the Wuxiang King is blocking is exactly the direction Wudi is fleeing toward.

Thus, Li Zhangsheng resolutely charged toward the Wuxiang King.

The Wuxiang King stood with his hands behind his back and said extremely conceitedly, "Quan King, you had better surrender, lest you suffer some hardship!"

In the Wuxiang King's view, even if Li Zhangsheng's combat power is comparable to a top-tier Double-Character King, how could he deal with three top-tier Double-Character Kings? Moreover, the Wuxiang King considers himself a bit stronger than the Mingcang King.

Even so, the Wuxiang King still opened a Secret Realm Channel. As a veteran Double-Character King, one can despise the enemy strategically, but one must never underestimate the enemy tactically, especially since Li Zhangsheng's combat power might not be much inferior to his own.

"Do you really think this seat only has this little strength? Then you are gravely mistaken!!"

Li Zhangsheng's resonant voice rang out, and a Secret Realm Channel also opened. His demon pets, having long been prepared, rushed out quickly and headed straight for the Wuxiang King.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng no longer hid anything and erupted with his full aura; his Double-Character King presence was exposed without reservation.

Since it cannot be hidden, let the world properly face his strength.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After Li Zhangsheng erupted with the aura of a Double-Character King, the three top-tier Double-Character Kings were all startled, inevitably leading to a certain lapse in their coordination.

"He is actually a Double-Character King!"

"How is that possible!"

"A 21-year-old Double-Character King!"

The three top-tier Double-Character Kings could not hide their inner astonishment; after all, this is too shocking. A 21-year-old Double-Character King far surpasses the record of the youngest Double-Character King in history and is highly likely to be unsurpassed by those who come after.

"Quickly, help me!"

The Wuxiang King was not just surprised, but exceptionally terrified, because Li Zhangsheng's lineup of demon pets is truly too monstrous.

On the surface, Li Zhangsheng and the Wuxiang King both have five Demon Emperor Level demon pets.

However, the problem is that among their respective five Demon Emperor Level demon pets, Li Zhangsheng possesses three Divine Beasts, while the Wuxiang King does not have even one.

It is not just the Demon Emperor Level demon pets; the lineup of Saint Grade Spirit Pets is also completely crushed.

That is not all; Ning Bizhen's several Demon Emperor Level and Saint Grade Spirit Pets have also joined the ranks.
