Chapter 288 Zhang Yuanzhu: If you can't stop them, then die! (4000)

Inside the pit, apart from blood and bones, there was nothing. All valuable items had been destroyed in the battle.

Zhang Yuanzhu scanned his surroundings, and the figures hidden in the shadows, who were spying on him, seemed to be struck by lightning.

The young man withdrew his gaze, took a step, and walked towards the center of the city.

His steps were leisurely and unhurried, showing no unease whatsoever after slaying a powerful cultivator.

He was no longer the cultivator who could only flee and occasionally retaliate; he had become much stronger and could deal with more enemies.

Moreover, the interest payments for tonight haven't even been collected yet, so how can one auction be enough?

After taking nine steps, his figure had completely left the pit and was heading towards the center of the city.

Qiu Qianqian quickly followed, staying close behind the young man.

Zhang Yuanzhu's steps suddenly slowed down, and in the next instant...

Strands of corpse energy burst forth, transforming into longswords that shot out violently.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Blood splattered as corpses tumbled from the corner and collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, blood covered the streets.

"The spying individuals have been eliminated. You may leave now."

Zhang Yuanzhu spoke softly, and a magic array plate flew out of his arms and landed in front of the woman.

"This array can conceal one's aura and hide one's form."

Qiu Qianqian stared at the array plate in front of her, her eyes revealing complex emotions. Only someone truly in the darkness could understand her feelings at this moment.

Fairness! Openness!

After a short period of contact, this was her feeling.

He extended his palm and took the array plate.

Bow with hands clasped!
"Senior, I hope we can meet again someday."

He straightened his body, put the cloak on his head, and slowly retreated.

After sensing that the woman had left, Zhang Yuanzhu started walking again, step by step towards the Prince's residence.

The festive red cloth had been removed, and the guards stared in panic at the approaching figure.

The air was thick with the aura of death, eerie and malevolent, as if a demon had descended upon the mortal realm.

Crunch!

A middle-aged man wearing a python robe walked out of the mansion.

Bow and salute!
“Senior, the actions of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce have nothing to do with the Royal Palace. We have been cultivating at the palace and have not participated in this auction.”

The middle-aged man was respectful, and his manners were impeccable.

But what does it have to do with him?

Zhang Yuanzhu came here solely for revenge and for killing.

He has always been that vengeful beggar who repays every kindness, and he has never changed.

Raise your arm and spread your fingers.

Layers of corpse energy emerged, overlapping and compressing to cover the entire palace.

Then, amidst despairing gazes, it crashed down with a deafening roar.

Boom!

The prince fell, the guards died, the mansion was razed to the ground, and everything returned to silence.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm as ever, slightly turning his body to glance to his right.

In the next instant, his body transformed into a rainbow of light, soaring into the sky and leaving Wolong City.

As the young man left, three figures slowly emerged, gazing at the ruined royal palace.

Everyone's expression was solemn and shocked.

Two burly men in red armor looked at the white-armored woman protected in the middle and asked in a low voice:

"Xintang, is it really that person?"

Feng Xintang nodded slightly, recalling the events that had just occurred in the city, her face showing bitterness.

Far more powerful than imagined, this strength must have come through countless hardships and life-or-death crises to achieve its current level of power.

The Zhao imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty is in trouble this time.

As the top constable of the Divine Constable Bureau, she knew the intensity of the pursuit of Qilin Daoist by the Qian Kingdom's royal family and the tragic state of the situation.

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"Brother, should we inform Emperor Qian that Qian is, after all, the country we serve?"

"If that person continues to kill like that, the country that has finally achieved stability may very well fall into turmoil again."

A burly man in red armor spoke, his eyes filled with conflict.

He was one of only two Divine Constables in the Divine Constable Sect, and once spoke up in the imperial court to protect the Qilin Taoist.

Unfortunately, the late emperor was focused on attacking the Yan state and recovering lost territory, so he chose to unite all domestic forces and rejected his protection.

Therefore, he knew that the Qilin Taoist was not wrong, but neither were the common people!
"Uncle-Master, I suggest we don't inform Emperor Qian."

Feng Xintang gripped the halberd tightly in her hand, analyzing the situation carefully.

"The Qian Kingdom couldn't kill that person before, and it's even more impossible now. Telling them would only make the fighting more brutal."

"The most important thing now is whether that royal ancestor has passed away. Does Master know?"

The woman turned her gaze to her master, her eyes filled with curiosity.

The burly man, who was over three meters tall, gave his disciple a deep look and shook his head.

"How could the royal family tell me such a secret?"

"However, since the destruction of the three major families, that ancestor has never appeared again."

"Is that so?"

Feng Xintang gently touched her forehead.

During this time, the two burly men discussed the matter and decided to report the events that had occurred in the city truthfully, but did not mention the identity of the Qilin Taoist.

the other side.

As Zhang Yuanzhu sped through the sky, he sensed a shimmering jade stone in his arms, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"You've never appeared when the situation needed stabilization; I'm a little curious about your situation."

"Did he really pass away peacefully?"

The young man's eyes gleamed, and a rainbow of light surged, stretching across the sky.

At his current speed, a thousand miles would only take him half an hour.

Lin'an City, the capital of the Qian Kingdom, is the heart of the nation.

Even though the Qian Kingdom experienced turmoil in the southeast, the great defeat at Yinming Mountain, and the rebellion of the three major families in the northeast, the capital city still stands majestic and grand, exuding an air of nobility and elegance.

Zhang Yuanzhu landed on the hill and gazed at the long city wall, which looked like a real dragon lying on the ground, breathing in the starlight and spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The young man recalled the Yuan Dynasty capital he had once seen, and compared to it, Lin'an was in no way inferior.

"What a magnificent immortal city for cultivation!"

Zhang Yuanzhu patted his palm and exclaimed in admiration.

The golden age has faded, the splendor and prosperity are gone, and the worldly affairs are nothing more than this.

Unfortunately, for him, it was nothing more than the last rays of the setting sun.

"The test is over. I await your response."

"Gentlemen, let us pray that your ancestor has not yet perished."

The young man laughed, sat cross-legged, took out a book recording body-refining techniques from his robes, and began to read it.

He began to ponder the cultivation of body-refining techniques.

The first level of the Nine Tribulations Thunder Body: Thunder Seed Enters the Marrow!

You need to find a lightning-attribute demon beast at the Foundation Establishment level, take its heart and swallow it, and then use a specific method to temper your bone marrow. When your bone marrow turns completely purple, that is when you will have successfully completed the first stage.

'The heart of a lightning-attribute demon beast requires the Foundation Establishment stage.'

Zhang Yuanzhu thought to himself, this kind of monster is not easy to find.

However, since he has already decided to use this method to refine his body, these resources are essential items that he must obtain.

The young man frowned slightly, his eyes filled with thought.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally cleared his mind of all distractions and continued to study the Body Refining Technique in the Palm.

Time passes minute by minute.

Half an hour!

One hour!

Two hours!!!

As dawn broke and the sun was about to rise, there was still no sign of anyone going to Wolong City to investigate.

Zhang Yuanzhu narrowed his double pupils and slowly stood up. Wisps of corpse energy flowed from the white bone beads.

The reason we don't investigate things that are right in front of us is because we are powerless to do anything more; our ancestor has already passed away.

I still felt uneasy while fishing. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

The laughter rose from a low murmur to a high crescendo, echoing through the sky.

Boom!

A thousand-foot-tall skeleton appeared.

It stands firmly on the earth, with the sky above its head, and a blood-red sun appears behind it.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood in mid-air, his red robe fluttering in the wind, his black hair dancing wildly, and a mysterious smile on his face.

Let's try one more time, with the White Bone Corpse Demon, the Blood Light Pearl, and a sixth-level Foundation Establishment Demonic Talisman (the spoils of killing the donkey).

If such a test cannot be accepted, then...
Exterminate their entire race!
The youth's figure slowly faded away, leaving only a skeleton standing between heaven and earth under the night sky.

Roar!
The white-boned corpse demon roared to the sky.

The hills, the earth, and the vegetation all exploded and turned into powder.

The surging corpse energy was like a vast ocean, crashing against the surrounding wilderness.

They took their first steps and headed towards the capital.

There was no concealment whatsoever, no hesitation whatsoever.

At this moment, within Lin'an City, one cultivator after another noticed the unusual activity and turned their gaze outwards.

When their spiritual senses swept over the skull bearing the blood-red sun and with the azure sky above its head, their expressions changed drastically.

The Qi Refining cultivator looked terrified and uneasy. Such unimaginable power was undoubtedly coming from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators all had inscrutable expressions and their eyes flickered.

Finally, he turned his gaze back to the imperial city.

Given this situation, how should the royal family respond? Will that patriarch intervene, or is he still alive?

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the Bone Demon had already arrived at the city wall.

Like a demon god standing before Lin'an City, its waist rising above the city wall, casting a large shadow that plunged all living beings into silence.

"This is the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, evil spirits, begone!"

A burly man clad in armor stood atop the city wall, shouting sternly.

Behind the armored giants, soldiers roared, brandishing their weapons.

"retreat!"

"The enemy has retreated!!"

"Retreat immediately!!!"

The aura of war surged straight into the clouds, seemingly about to break through the fierce and malevolent aura of corpses.

Fueled by surging battle intent, each armored warrior's magical power and physical strength continuously increased, reaching the peak of their lives.

At the same time, array patterns flickered and burst forth with rays of light, covering the city walls.

The skeletal demon's head was tilted downwards, its empty eye sockets as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

“It’s a huge difference!”

A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the skeletal skull.

A peak Qi Refining cultivator leading a group of Qi Refining cultivators was actually protecting the capital city.

The Zhao family was even weaker than he had imagined!

The skeletal demon raised its arm, spread its five fingers, and wisps of corpse energy gathered between its fingers and palm.

kill!

With a single palm strike, the great formation was instantly torn apart.

The hand, as large as a mountain, continued its momentum and slammed heavily onto the city wall.

Boom! Bang!

Blood and flesh splattered, and the city walls collapsed.

Before the soldiers could even make a move, they were reduced to blood and mud, scattering across the earth. The city walls were also breached, revealing gaps.

The white-boned corpse demon's aura of death grew increasingly dense, carrying a blood-red sun on its back, as it stepped into the city.

Boom boom boom~
The earthquake was severe, and houses collapsed.

The giant, a thousand feet tall, strode towards the center of the city.

One by one, cultivators and ordinary people alike stared blankly at the departing demonic figure.

Things have changed!
From this day forward, regardless of whether the skeleton succeeds or not, the Great Qian imperial family will lose all its prestige.

The fall of the capital is a humiliation that cannot be easily forgotten.

However, at this moment, within the imperial city and palaces, the cultivators could no longer concern themselves with the impact of the capital's fall.

All the high-ranking officials and princes in the hall bowed down.

"Your Majesty, go quickly and invite the Ancestor out of seclusion, or the Qian Kingdom will be in grave danger!"

"Your Majesty, Yinming's defeat has crippled its foundation, rendering it unable to withstand such a ferocious demon."

"The time is too short. We have only recuperated for a few years, and our strength has not recovered enough."

Even a high-ranking official in the capital of Qian Kingdom looked apprehensive.

Only when they realized how weak the Qian Kingdom had become did they understand the turmoil in the southeast, the disastrous defeat in the campaign against Yan, the rebellion of the three major families, and the prince's usurpation of the throne—a series of events occurred in succession.

Currently, the Qian Kingdom only has three Foundation Establishment cultivators supporting it, and two of them are newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators who have devoted all their resources and risked their lives to break through in recent years.

With such strength, how can they possibly deal with the approaching peerless demon?

The slightest misstep could lead to the collapse of the nation and the downfall of the world.

Emperor Qianlong, clad in a nine-dragon imperial robe, sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes lowered as he surveyed the chaotic palace.

He sighed softly to himself.

These younger generations are far inferior to their fathers and elders.

'Unfortunately, most of the pillars of the state perished in the State of Yan.'

With a thought, he stood up from the dragon throne and burst into laughter.

“My lords, the capital of Lin’an has been well-managed for a thousand years, and its great array is flawless. It is by no means something that a mere Foundation Establishment Level 3 demon can breach.”

"Our Great Qian Kingdom's treasury is richer than the four seas, filled with countless treasures and profound resources. What difficulty is there in killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"However, it is a matter of suppressing the enemy with ease, so why bother the ancestor?"

His voice was filled with confidence and authority.

This caused the terrified courtiers to composed themselves.

Boom!

The deafening roar made everyone tense.

The skeleton has arrived!
Zhang Yuanzhu stood on the street, manipulating the white bone demon to retract its hand, and looked at the large array rising around the palace.

His double pupils were deep as he carefully observed the great formation, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"A decent formation, but the cultivator controlling it is too weak."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered, searching for a flaw in the great formation.

At the same time, the skeletal demon's arms, carrying a vast amount of corpse energy, continued to detach.

The protective array of the palace was shaken, causing ripples to spread and even causing many palaces within the array to collapse.

A cup of tea has passed!

An incense stick has burned out!

A smile appeared on Zhang Yuanzhu's face.

He found the flaw!

Roar!
The Bone Demon roared to the sky, its body surging with corpse energy, and streaks of blood-red light dripped from its back like blood-red beads.

He raised his arm, his five fingers together, and the blood and corpse energy intertwined and merged on his palm.

At this moment, even the soul fire within his head was burning fiercely, urging every bit of power to surge forth.

It takes a step! It strikes out!
His palm struck out like a knife, traversing the sky and slashing at the light screen.

In that instant, a sense of oppression descended upon the surroundings, and silence fell.

The next moment.

Bang! Boom!

The great formation tore apart, and a blade of light swept across the earth, leaving a long, narrow slash that stretched for dozens of miles.

"The formation is broken!"

"The Zhao family patriarch must have passed away peacefully, otherwise he would have definitely taken action."

"Kill! Kill! The Zhao family must be destroyed, and we too must have a share."

Long howls echoed through the void, and streaks of rainbow light shot towards the palace from all directions.

Having tested the royal family's capabilities, how could they possibly give up such an opportunity?

Hidden in the shadows, Zhang Yuanzhu frowned slightly, his five fingers lightly gripping the hilt of his knife.

Has the Ancestor of Condensing Sha passed away peacefully?
