Chapter 246 The Dragon Kings Arrive Together to Execute Zheng Jun!
Along the southeastern coast, people are working.

Although Emperor Lu Mengxiu of Wu was not very capable, he had an exceptionally good eye for talent.

By allying with Xiao Liang and the King of Yue, and by pacifying the people, he truly entrusted the fate of a hundred li (a unit of land area) with the responsibility of protecting the peaceful and prosperous life of Jiaozhou and half of Jiangzhou.

But it was merely a scene of singing and dancing, not a genuine celebration of national prosperity and peace.

Lu Meng was originally from a powerful family, and after taking power, he naturally became more inclined to support his own class, solidifying class structure and engaging in aristocratic politics within his territory. It could be said that "there are no poor families among the upper class and no noble families among the lower class," which was even more brutal than the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past when it showed some signs of this.

On the training ground of a grand mansion in the suburbs of Lin'an, the bluestone pavement was slightly damp from the morning dew.

Several young men dressed in brocade martial arts uniforms were holding wooden swords and following a burly martial artist at the peak of the Outer Qi realm to practice basic sword techniques.

The martial artist's face was solemn, and his voice was like a booming bell: "Your wrists must be steady, and your swordsmanship must be like a dragon! If you scions of noble families can't even master the 'thrust,' how will you uphold your family's honor in the future?"

His complexion wasn't very good, and the reason was quite simple.

After all, for a martial artist like him who came from a humble background, these young masters from aristocratic families who had grown up eating rouge were their greatest enemies.

But no matter what...

They gave us so much.

That's why he was forced to give him some pointers.

Since they were being forced to teach, they naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked up sharply at the sky.

"stop!"

The martial artist at the peak of the Outer Qi realm shouted sharply, and the wooden sword in his hand snapped in two with a crack.

The boys stopped abruptly, following his gaze.

In the southeast direction, a crimson streak of light, like a blood rainbow, pierced the sky, closely followed by a cyan-gold streak of light. The two tore through the clouds, and the air surged wherever they passed. Despite being far apart, they even shook the ancient trees in the courtyard, causing their leaves to fall in a rustling sound!

"That's... the aura of a Yuan Dan realm cultivator?!"

The martial artist's pupils contracted sharply, and his muscles tensed instinctively.

Although he was an external martial artist, under such pressure, he was like an ant facing a mountain, and even his breathing became labored.

"Instructor, what is that?"

A boy asked in a trembling voice, his wooden sword falling to the ground with a 'clatter'.

Whether they were Blood Refining Martial Artists, External Strength Martial Artists, or even ordinary mortals, under such a powerful aura, there was actually no difference; they all experienced shortness of breath and palpitations.

The martial arts instructor, a peak-level Outer Strength cultivator, had his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice dry but unusually excited: "The crimson escape light and the soaring demonic aura must be a peerless demon fleeing for its life; the cyan-gold escape light is as radiant as heavenly might... it must be some supreme human expert!"

Although it is unknown who is fleeing for their life and who is chasing them.

But this kind of scene where a human powerhouse kills a demon king is always exhilarating, no matter when you watch it.

As for whether the strongest pursuer might be Lu Meng, the emperor of Eastern Wu... there is absolutely no such possibility.

After all, every martial artist in Eastern Wu knew that the true essence cultivated by His Majesty the Emperor was water essence, and the resulting celestial phenomenon was a pale blue color.

Two years ago, when the Emperor of Great Wu launched his counterattack, he had already demonstrated his strength. His overwhelming Water Element True Essence directly forced the city of Lin'an to surrender.

Therefore, almost all the warriors of Eastern Wu were aware of Lu Meng's imposing presence.

But this one now, with his azure-gold radiance as majestic as the heavens, is completely different from Emperor Lu Meng of the Great Wu.

Of all the great figures who have been passed down through generations, it seems that only one of them possessed an escape technique related to azure-gold...

Upon realizing this, the specially appointed instructor, who was at the peak of the Outer Qi realm, was taken aback.

Could it be...

Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty?!
Thinking about it, it seemed more and more reasonable to him.

After all, this emperor of the Han Dynasty was a man of great merit. Who did not know that he had killed many Yuan Dan Martial Saint realm experts? He was truly the number one Yuan Dan in the world!

Of course, there are many things to consider for a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, such as their condition on the day and whether their supernatural abilities and techniques are effective. But for ordinary martial artists of lower levels, Zheng Jun's ability to kill martial artists of the same level one after another makes him the number one person in the world!
Why is this Han emperor here?

Although I had some doubts, judging from this situation, the Han emperor's record was about to be expanded to include another person!

As the two streaks of light disappeared into the distance, the instructor gazed into the distance, his heart filled with longing.

Turning around, he saw that these young masters from noble families were also somewhat mesmerized, so he coughed lightly, put on a stern face, and said, "This is a powerful cultivator from our human race, a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, chasing down a demon king. You may continue!"

"..."

Emperor Lu Meng of Great Wu also sensed the presence of the Dragon King of Jiangzhou and Zheng Jun.

What's puzzling is that this only Yuan Dan Martial Saint of Eastern Wu chose to remain silent.

Lin'an City was the temporary palace of the Wu Emperor.

The flickering candlelight inside the hall cast an unpredictable shadow on Lu Meng's face.

He sat upright on the dragon throne, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the gilded dragon pattern on the armrest, while the Minister of War Cui Dun, kneeling below, had cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"His Majesty!"

Cui Dun kowtowed heavily, the jade tablet striking the blue bricks with a crisp sound: "Now that Zheng Jun has left, the Dragon Palace is without a master, which is a golden opportunity for our Great Wu to reap the rewards accumulated over a thousand years! Those eight bronze dragon pillars alone are enough to forge three thousand suits of Xuan Armor..."

"shut up!"

Lu Meng roared, sweeping the teacup off the table with a gust of wind from his sleeve. Broken porcelain splashed onto Cui Dun's official robe. This emperor, who was always known for his refined manners, was now filled with anger. His voice was as cold as ice from the depths of hell: "Issue my decree: immediately mobilize 50,000 naval troops to blockade the Lujiang River. Anyone who takes even a single brick or tile from the Dragon Palace will have their entire family exterminated!"

The ministers who had come to attend the small meeting were speechless upon hearing this.

Zhou Ting, the Vice Minister of Justice, spoke up, "Your Majesty, this is a golden opportunity! Emperor Zheng Jun of Han may be powerful, but what can he do? Guanzhong is a thousand miles away from our Jiangnan region. If our army seizes the Dragon Palace's jewels, our strength will greatly increase. What do we have to fear from Han..."

Before Zhou Ting could finish speaking, a beam of green light suddenly flew out from Lu Meng's sleeve, and his head, which had stopped abruptly, rolled down beside a pillar, the splattered blood drawing a ferocious fan shape on the imperial steps.

"Who else wants to discuss this?"

Lu Meng's face darkened, filled with murderous intent.

The ministers dared not say anything more and could only bow and agree.

After the officials left the main hall, the gilded doors slowly closed, shutting out the last ray of sunlight.

Lu Meng sat alone on the dragon throne, the candlelight casting an extremely long shadow of him. Beneath the wide sleeves of his dragon robe, his right hand trembled uncontrollably.

"Ah……"

A self-deprecating chuckle echoed in the empty hall. Lu Meng took a deep breath and stood up.

The court officials were calculating that after opening the Dragon Palace, each powerful family would be able to share in the profits and provide their families with more martial arts masters who could reach the Qi Refining stage.

But for Lu Meng, there was no benefit whatsoever.

The Lu family was exterminated by the Divine Martial Emperor years ago, with only a handful of people escaping.

At this moment, in the Eastern Wu court, only Lu Meng remained as a true direct descendant of the Lu family.

Is opening the Dragon Palace Treasury important to Lu Meng? Not really. After all, the resources inside won't help him become a Dharma Aspect. He only just entered the Yuan Dan realm five years ago, and it's a long way from him to condense a Dharma Aspect. Not everyone can achieve earth-shattering feats like Zheng Jun after ten years of cultivation.

He dared not imagine what kind of relentless pursuit he would face if he opened the Dragon Palace Treasury while Zheng Jun was chasing the Old Dragon of Jiangzhou.

The previous news that Zheng Jun had killed six Yuan Dan Martial Saints was just a rumor; Lu Meng had not witnessed it with his own eyes.

This hunt for Old Dragon of Jiangzhou is happening right before our eyes!
How powerful was that old dragon?

And so, after fighting Zheng Jun for a day and a night, he ended up abandoning his demonic body and his spirit escaping.

Can I fight with the old dragon?
Even if we take into account the entire military strength of Eastern Wu, what can it do?

Lu Meng was very rational; he would never let such a thing happen.

Ever since Emperor Shenwu exterminated the entire Lu family, Lu Meng knew that his ambition to dominate the world was just wishful thinking. Now, his ascension to the throne and the establishment of the Great Wu Kingdom were also to uphold the prestige of the Lu family and allow his family to recuperate as soon as possible.

After the world is in chaos and a victor emerges, we will choose a wise ruler to surrender to.

After surrendering, there is a high probability that one will receive a high rank and generous rewards, thus allowing the family to continue for another thousand years.

That night, torches blazed like dragons along the banks of the Lujiang River.

Fifty thousand elite naval troops conscripted from Lin'an City, armed with long iron halberds, sealed off the river surface completely.

Occasionally, some daring martial arts practitioners would attempt to dive under cover of night, only to be instantly torn into a bloody mist by the Gobi Desert.

Immediately, the people of the Eastern Wu martial arts world were abuzz with discussion.

There were many criticisms of the Eastern Wu court.

On the East China Sea, the waves surged and roared in fury.

Zheng Jun rode on azure-gold light, relentlessly pursuing the crimson dragon soul.

The spirit of the old dragon of Jiangzhou was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it swept across a thousand miles of sea, stirring up towering waves along the way. Countless fish and shrimp were shaken by the dragon's might and floated to the surface.

"Zheng Jun! Are you really going to kill us all?!"

The dragon soul roared, its voice filled with despair and rage.

It has abandoned its demonic body. Although its spirit is strong, it is ultimately rootless and adrift. If it continues to flee like this, it will be caught up by Zheng Jun sooner or later!
"I said, the fish may die, but the net will not break!"

Zheng Jun sneered, and the Dragon Abyss Blade rang out. Wherever the blade pointed, the sea parted on its own, revealing a vacuum passage.

He increased his speed by three points and was about to catch up with the dragon soul when he saw the spirit of the old dragon of Jiangzhou suddenly stop. Instead of fleeing, it changed direction and rushed towards a giant whale demon in the Tongqiao Realm at the bottom of the sea!

"Seize the body?!"

Zheng Jun raised an eyebrow and saw the dragon soul pierce into the fish demon's head like a blood rainbow. The fish demon's body trembled violently, its scales shattered inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ferocious monster that was half dragon and half fish!

"Zheng Jun! You have forced me to this point, and today I will surely perish with you!"

The fish demon roared, its voice now indistinguishable from the old dragon of Jiangzhou, only with a touch more madness in its tone. It clenched its dragon claws, and seawater condensed into a blood-red trident, which it fiercely thrust towards Zheng Jun!

"How dare you act so violently, you mere fish demon with the body of a Qi-connecting spirit?"

Zheng Jun sneered and slashed horizontally with his Dragon Abyss Blade. The blade light was like the moon, instantly splitting the trident in two.

Even the Jiangzhou Old Dragon at its peak was no match for me, so how could it possibly be a match for me now that it hastily possessed a whale that had reached the Qi Circulation stage?
After possessing the fish demon, the old dragon of Jiangzhou seemed to have gone all out, disregarding the limits of its demonic body and frantically burning its spiritual power, which allowed it to temporarily block Zheng Jun's attack.

"boom--!"

Swords and spears clashed, and towering waves erupted from the sea.

Zheng Jun frowned slightly. Although the old dragon's strength had greatly decreased after possessing the body, its ferocity had become even stronger. It actually used its Qi-opening demonic body to fight against the Yuan Dan Martial Saint head-on, and every strike was carried with the posture of mutual destruction.

"It's just a desperate struggle!"

Zheng Jun shook his head, his Azure Gold True Essence surging forth, just as he was about to finish off the old dragon, when suddenly a deafening dragon roar came from the sky, the sound waves like thunder, which actually made the sea surface suddenly quiet!
Zheng Jun and Jiangzhou Laolong looked up at the same time and saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, and a hundred-foot-long black dragon broke through the clouds!

The black dragon's scales were as black as ink, its horns were as tall as ancient trees, and its five claws on its belly were ferocious. Its dragon might was almost comparable to that of the old dragon of Jiangzhou in its prime!
"The Dragon King of Chizhangchuan in Jiaozhou?"

The fish demon possessed by the old dragon of Jiangzhou was overjoyed, and Zheng Jun couldn't help but chuckle.

The black dragon hovered in the sky, its eyes like torches, coldly sweeping across the area below before finally settling on Zheng Jun.

"Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty!"

The black dragon spoke, its voice deep and rumbling like thunder: "You have severed a member of my dragon clan. Now that you have entered the East Sea, you shall leave your life behind!"

Before he finished speaking, the black dragon pressed down with its claws, and nine jet-black water columns suddenly rose from the sea. The water columns, like dragons, roared and slashed towards Zheng Jun!

Zheng Jun stood with his sword in hand, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"I didn't expect it to be buy one get one free?"

Before Zheng Jun could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a powerful aura coming from the direction he had come from in the north!
Suddenly, frost and snow rolled across the northern horizon, and the clouds seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. A hundred-foot-long, pure white dragon broke through the sky and arrived!

Before the dragon's roar even arrived, the biting cold air had already frozen the sea surface for ten miles, and the ice crystals reflected a dazzling cold light between the dragon's scales.

"Zhong Jiang Aoqin is here!"

The white dragon roared as if an ancient, icy abyss had shattered, and as its claws swung down, hundreds of ice shards poured down like a torrential rain, forming an encirclement with the black dragon's water column!

Zheng Jun stepped into the void, his azure-gold true essence flowing around his body like flames, and the Dragon Abyss Blade trembled with excitement.

"Good good."

Zheng Jun laughed three times, looked at the two dragon kings, one black and one white, and smiled slightly: "All the dragon kings of Jiangzhou Dragon Court have come together this time. Your dragon clan is quite united!"

"Today I will see if the so-called Three Dragon Kings of Jiangzhou can withstand this blow!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Jun's sword flashed brightly!
"boom--!"

A golden crack suddenly appeared in the sky, like the sun falling into the sea!
The Radiant Light has been perfected over time, and now that it is being unleashed, it will greatly enhance the power of the dragon race!
In an instant, the nine water pillars of the black dragon Ao Zhang and the icy torrent of the white dragon Ao Qin were cleaved apart by this one slash. The remaining force of the azure-gold blade energy did not diminish, cutting a deep trench hundreds of feet deep into the sea, and the seawater on both sides was frozen like cliffs and did not fall!
"puff!"

The old dragon of Jiangzhou, who had possessed the fish demon, was the first to suffer. When the blade swept past, half of the fish's body instantly vaporized, and the dragon's soul and spirit flickered like a candle in the wind.

"Brothers Dragon, please help me quickly!"

The old dragon of Jiangzhou roared and moved closer to the two dragons. For the first time, the three dragon powers merged and actually formed a blurry thousand-foot dragon shadow on the sea. It had a triangular head, red, black and white dragon scales intertwined, and twelve claws under its belly stood like pillars of heaven!
"A Dharma form? No, it seems somewhat illusory..."

Zheng Jun narrowed his eyes, finally revealing a hint of seriousness.

The thousand-foot-long dragon shadow gave Zheng Jun a vague feeling of a Dharma image, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly unusual.

Although it is not as powerful as the Dharma Form, it far surpasses the combined power of ordinary Yuan Dan.

After the three dragon kings exchanged their dragon might, a hint of fear flashed in the vertical pupils of the Crimson Jade River Dragon King and the Black Dragon Ao Zhang, who shouted sternly, "Zheng Jun! Retreat now, and my dragon clan can pretend that the Jiangzhou incident never happened!"

"Noisy."

Zheng Jun smiled dismissively, and a crimson-gold halo appeared behind him.

As the light wheel spun, the entire sea suddenly boiled, and countless golden light spots emerged from the void, converging towards Zheng Jun's palm like thousands of birds returning to their nests.

Bai Long Aoqin's ice crystal domain has begun to melt!
Upon seeing this, the three dragons immediately retreated: "Not good!"

This is the radiant light of the sun.

As everyone knows, during the reign of Emperor Qianyu, the emperor's favorite pastime was slaughtering dragons. This 'Radiant Sunlight' was incredibly powerful, and if it were to strike these dragon kings, it would cause them immense damage!

This is why the Old Dragon King of Jiangzhou, who was clearly comparable to or even superior to Hu Yang Shanyu, was kicked to death by Zheng Jun like a stray dog ​​in a single day and night.

The three dragons retreated simultaneously, only to see Zheng Jun holding up a ball of blazing white sun in his palm. He chuckled, recalling some boastful quotes, and immediately opened his mouth, his voice like a decree from heaven: "With this strike, I invite the three Dragon Kings to join me in the Yellow Springs!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a blazing white blade of light instantly engulfed the heavens and earth!

This strike was Zheng Jun's full-force attack, using half of his true energy!
The moment the blazing white blade light engulfed the sky and sea, the thousand-foot-long dragon shadows intertwined by the three dragon kings shattered like glass.

The fish demon possessed by the old dragon of Jiangzhou was the first to be affected. The dragon soul let out a shrill cry in the shimmering sunlight, and its translucent essence melted away inch by inch like wax in fire!

"Zheng Jun—!!!"

The crimson dragon soul struggled, twisting and deforming, its illusory scales and claws tearing wildly in the blazing flames, but ultimately it could not withstand the supreme yang fire unleashed by the radiant sunlight.

Before the final venomous roar could even be heard, the spirit turned into wisps of smoke with a hiss, completely extinguishing even the chance for reincarnation.

"Brother Ao Huang!"

The Black Dragon Ao Zhang of Chizhangchuan glared angrily, his dragon horns bursting with jet-black lightning.

He had been friends with Ao Huang, the Dragon King of Jiangzhou, for a thousand years. Now, witnessing his dearest friend's soul being scattered, his black jade-like scales were stained with blood-red patterns: "Today, even if it means the destruction of my foundation, I will make you pay for your blood debt!"

"Ao Zhang, let's attack together! This thief has exhausted his true energy; this is our chance!"

With a long roar, the white dragon Aoqin coiled its frost-covered dragon body into the eye of the formation. Its scales stood on end, and each scale peeled off its body, condensing into an ice crystal altar ten miles in diameter on the sea!

Upon hearing this, the black dragon charged towards the formation without hesitation. The two completely opposite dragon energies converged on the altar, causing the underwater volcano to erupt violently!

"Boom!"

Magma and ice intertwined to form a red and white torrent, which actually blocked the sword light that Zheng Jun unleashed.

The boiling seawater condensed into billions of ice blades under the effect of the formation, each blade wrapped with the black dragon's innate Yin lightning, and they swept towards Zheng Jun to kill him!

The black and white dragons were now truly enraged!

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun's eyes also became extremely serious.

These two dragon kings are incredibly powerful, both being experts among the Yuan Dan realm. Although they are countered by 'Radiant Sun and Flowing Light', it will still be somewhat troublesome for me to deal with them in a two-on-one situation.

but……

"That's interesting."

Zheng Jun stood on the waves, the Longyuan Blade held horizontally in front of his chest.

Since that's the case, let's press on and kill all three Yuan Dan Dragon Kings here in one fell swoop!
Only in this way can one truly awe the world!
Zheng Jun could sense that from the direction of the South China Sea, several pairs of eyes seemed to be observing the movements here from thousands of miles away.

These gazes belonged to several overseas Yuan Dan cultivators from the South China Sea Islands.

Since they like watching, let's show them something ruthless.
