Chapter 1386

Yet at this moment, he still lagged behind Li Jing of the Innate Realm.

Not only because the other was born from an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Also because Li Yuanba had not yet comprehended the Laws.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Li Jing unleashed a palm strike.

A blazing palm imprint instantly descended upon him.

Causing Li Yuanba to gasp for breath.

"Roar!"

Then he let out a sky-shaking bellow, and golden light erupted from his body in ten thousand rays.

He became like a golden lion, charging forward with ferocious might.

"Crash!"

The two collided, and Li Yuanba's body was smashed into the ground in an instant.

Blood gushed from his mouth.

Yet just as he tried to struggle to his feet,

He was pinned down again by Li Jing.

Seeing his son's condition,

Li Jing's face twisted with grief.

He hated himself for failing to protect his son.

But at this moment, Ximen Wudi did not intervene.

Li Jing truly loved Li Yuanba.

If he could save him, how could he possibly stand idly by?

1240 Follow the rules!

1240 Follow the rules!

And at this moment,

Cao Zhengchun stepped forward cautiously and spoke.

"Your Majesty, though this battle was won,

what will you do with the corpses of the surrendered troops?"

"Send them to Long Teng City. They fought in this battle—follow the rules!"

Ximen Wudi said slowly.

These men were loyal to me; no matter how they are dealt with, it is deserved.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun, upon receiving the order, dared not delay and immediately replied.

Then he prepared to go and make arrangements.

Yet just at that moment,

"Your Majesty! Bad news! The Heiyan Dynasty has sent an envoy seeking aid!"

An Embroidered Uniform Guard reported.

His face showed panic.

At this moment, not only the Embroidered Uniform Guards,

but even the soldiers were terrified.

They had never expected such a thing to happen.

Yet upon hearing the voice,

Ximen Wudi frowned.

The Heiyan Dynasty's strength in this region was not weak.

More importantly, their patron was the Shenmang Wang Zu.

Now, sending an envoy here inevitably invites suspicion.

"Summon the ministers for a council!"

After a moment, Ximen Wudi spoke.

This time, not only did he wish to uncover the truth, but even the civil and military officials were deeply curious.

After all, everyone knew the Heiyan Dynasty was a power propped up by the Shenmang Wang Zu.

Their arrival now is likely hostile.

And as their thoughts reached this point,

in the imperial garden, Ximen Wudi sat upon the Wang Zuo.

Around him, the high-ranking officials stood in respectful attendance.

Below, hundreds stood in formation.

Leading them was the Prince Heiyan himself.

At this moment, he knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

"I pay homage to His Imperial Majesty of Han!"

His voice carried reverence.

And at this moment,

On the other side, a general stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Heiyan Dynasty has always been eyeing us like a tiger stalking its prey.

This time, I'm afraid they harbor ill intentions—please, Your Majesty, think thrice!"

This man was the Grand General of the Cavalry of the Prince Heiyan Dynasty, his cultivation overwhelmingly powerful.

Especially on the battlefield, he was invincible.

And upon hearing the voice.

Ximen Wudi merely said lightly.

"I know, but do you think my Great Han needs to fear the Prince Heiyan Dynasty!"

After the words fell, the expressions of everyone around all become solemn.

Yet the Prince Heiyan's expression grew increasingly ferocious.

At this moment, unable to care about anything else.

He said viciously to a general beside him.

"Seize the Han Emperor for this prince!"

As his voice fell.

That general moved at that very moment.

As his figure leapt up.

A battle-halberd had already torn through the firmament.

"Swoosh!"

The blazing edge swept across the sky, and wherever it passed, even space itself shattered inch by inch.

"Hmph!"

Li Jing gave a cold snort and went to meet it.

The giant sword in his hand rippled with unmatched sword qi.

"Bang!"

The collision between the two shook the heavens.

Then, the Prince Heiyan was forced back.

A flash of horror appeared in his eyes.

Li Jing, though merely an existence transformed from a Connate Spirit Treasure.

Yet the opponent's combat power was truly overwhelmingly powerful.

And, most importantly, he simply had no way to defeat the opponent.

This was simply too terrifying.
