Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 365 Certain Death
The Cui and Xie families are about to make a move against the Prince's Mansion.

After the Prince of Qinghe was enfeoffed in Qinghe County, the county remained peaceful for more than ten years, and both sides were polite to each other and kept to themselves.

However, no one expected that a demonic disturbance would directly lead to a change of government within Qinghe County.

Given the influence and power of the Cui and Xie families in Qinghe County, and the strength and ambition displayed by the Prince of Qinghe County this time, one of them is bound to be destroyed once things have come to this point.

However, some people didn't understand why the Cui and Xie families dared to take such a gamble.
After all, the Prince of Qinghe represents the imperial court. Although the powerful families in Qinghe County are strong, they are still too weak compared to the imperial court. This is only because they are deeply rooted in Qinghe County and have great influence.

But if they truly anger the imperial court, the court can use any pretext to remove them from Qinghe County.

Now, they have undoubtedly given the imperial court an excuse.

"It seems the two of you are indeed planning a rebellion." An Lu said lazily, his eyes narrowed, the cold light emanating from them sending chills down one's spine. He glanced at the crowd and said, "For many years, the Cui and Xie families have done whatever they wanted in Qinghe County. I turned a blind eye, as long as the people of Qinghe County were at peace, I didn't care. However, I never expected that demons would rise up now, and the Cui and Xie families would defy the court for their own family interests. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to grant their request."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. As expected, An Lu had no intention of giving the Cui and Xie families any more chances and had already decided the matter was settled.

The Cui and Xie families rebelled.

The Cui family members were also somewhat nervous. Cui Kan and the others had not expected things to come to this. He looked up at the patriarch, who said, "Anlu, don't try to scare us. I'm not fighting against the imperial court, but against this evil sect. If you insist on protecting this evil sect, then you're on their side."

An Lu narrowed his eyes even more. A demonic Taoist?

Where did the Cui and Xie families get this information? This matter is flawless and there is no way there could be any problems. Could it be that the other side saw through the clues during the battle with the Xie family patriarch?
That's impossible.

However, in any case, the only solution now is to eliminate the enemy.

“Stubborn to the end.” An Lu said coldly, “The Cui and Xie families intend to rebel. If there are any followers, kill them without mercy. If anyone takes down a member of the Cui or Xie family, the court will reward them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a big step forward and entered the sky. A powerful pressure swept across the vast space. When everyone looked up, it seemed that his fat body contained an overwhelming power. The cultivators below felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, and they even had difficulty breathing.

In an instant, golden light shone brightly, and Anlu's body radiated golden light, like the Buddha's light shining down on all directions, just like the Buddha.

"Could An Shicheng's Buddhist techniques have been passed down from An Lu?" Everyone looked up and was shocked by what they saw. An Lu was also skilled in Buddhism, and the power of his Buddhist techniques far surpassed that of An Shicheng, who was only at the Core Formation stage.

At this moment, the brilliant golden light spread across the heavens and earth, like an ancient Buddha. He raised his palm and struck forward, and a loud explosion came from the sky: "Today, I, the king, will experience the Cui family's magic seal."

The Cui family is known for its powerful magic seals, and its offensive power is extremely domineering. Some even say it is comparable to a powerful swordsman, extremely strong and masculine, and incomparably domineering.

However, at this moment, An Lu attacked the Cui family patriarch with his palm print, wanting to clash head-on with him. Moreover, judging from the terrifying momentum, one could already feel the power of his attack.

With his long hair flowing back and his robes billowing in the wind, the patriarch of the Cui family exuded a powerful aura. He was no longer facing the ever-smiling, obese Prince Anle, but rather a primordial beast, the ambitious Prince Qinghe.

The fat man before them had been able to endure for over a decade before finally taking action to eliminate the forces in Qinghe County. His cunning was terrifying. "Boom..." The patriarch of the Cui family took a step forward, and golden light shot straight into the sky, seemingly piercing the heavens. A towering golden war god appeared behind him, exuding unparalleled aura.

At this moment, the figure of the Cui family patriarch seemed to become extremely tall and imposing. When he looked up, he couldn't help but look up to him. He truly lived up to his reputation as the patriarch of a powerful family that had dominated Qinghe County for many years.

He raised his hand forward, his palm seemingly turning golden. A golden light burst forth, unleashing a massive Dharma seal that exploded in the air. The terrifying palm print collided with the incoming Buddhist palm.

"clang……"

A destructive golden storm swept across the sky, unleashing terrifying power that even caused many cultivators below to groan in shock.

"The Cui family's seal is nothing special."

An Lu's voice shook the void as he continued to press forward. He slowly pushed his palm forward again, and suddenly, Buddhist palm prints appeared out of thin air around his body, their power overwhelming all directions.

Li Fan looked up at the battle in the sky and thought to himself that An Lu was indeed hiding his true strength. The outside world's impression of him was that of a pleasure-seeking prince, but judging from the fighting power he was unleashing, his power was even greater than that of the Cui family patriarch.

On the other side, although the battle between Cold Crow Daoist and Xie Family Ancestor seemed evenly matched, Cold Crow Daoist was probably holding back, judging from his ease in the fight, he was at least no weaker than Xie Family Ancestor.

From this perspective, An Lu's side seems to have the advantage in this duel between the four top cultivators.

Just as he was observing the battle and contemplating, a cold voice suddenly came from in front of him: "This boy is colluding with demons, kill him."

Li Fan's expression froze. He looked ahead and saw An Shicheng staring intently at him, his eyes filled with a twisted killing intent, as if he hated him to the bone.

Li Fan was somewhat surprised that An Shicheng harbored such deep resentment towards him. It seemed that An Shicheng had been hiding his true strength, waiting for the day when he could unleash his full potential and reveal his unparalleled brilliance.

In fact, he had already accomplished half of his goal, suppressing Cui Kuan, the prodigy of the Cui family, and letting the world know how talented An Shicheng was. Qinghe County had a new understanding of this prince.

An Shicheng was proud, and his long-suppressed anger finally erupted. However, he was defeated by him, as if the accumulated power had not been released and had been forcibly suppressed, injuring himself.

Behind him, the disciple of the Cold Crow Daoist also stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Li Fan, equally filled with intense killing intent.

Both of them were defeated by Li Fan and suffered humiliation.

"The heir of the Prince of Qinghe?" Li Fan's eyes revealed a hint of frivolity as he said, "Too bad, today will be your death day."

Regardless of what An Lu actually did, based solely on what An Shicheng did, he was certain to die, and he was bound to kill An Shicheng.

"You're courting death." An Shicheng stared intently at Li Fan and said, "Kill!"
