Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Yang Bo, how dare you come to Kyoto?"

Li Zheng looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, and almost instantly his gaze was fixed on the handsome middle-aged man wearing a golden robe.

Even though his status has declined, this middle-aged man still exudes an air of nobility.

Qi Yufan stood beside Li Zheng, his gaze also fixed on the middle-aged man in the golden robe.

"Is he Yang Bo, the former crown prince? He is indeed quite handsome, but he's a bit too old."

"How can I not age? After all, I, the Crown Prince, have lived for over five hundred years..."

Yang Bo shook his head dismissively. Then he carefully examined Li Zheng from head to toe.

"This is a trap you set specifically for me, isn't it? You've gone to great lengths to lure me out. Little did you know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The two of you alone probably can't defeat us."

The Heavenly Demon Elder had already arrived behind Yang Bo.

If we really want to count, from the time the Heavenly Demon Elder became famous until he was sealed away, and now he has been reborn.

The Heavenly Demon Elder has lived for nearly 200 years.

However, compared to the former crown prince in front of him, he was still considered a young man.

The other party has lived for more than 500 years, which is considered an old generation even among the experts at the Supreme Realm.

Standing on the other side of Yang Bo, the former crown prince, was the leader of the Black Demon Cult. Three hundred years had passed since he rose to fame.

His Black Demon Cult was not only influential in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also had a presence throughout the entire world.

A sect that possesses a supreme authority has a power comparable to a dynasty.

"Master Ba, we have never had any enmity with each other. Are you really going to make an enemy of my entire Great Zhou Dynasty for the sake of these remnants of the previous dynasty?"

With his gaze shifting, Li Zheng began to persuade the Black Demon Cult Leader.

The Heavenly Demon Elder had already fought with him, and the former Crown Prince Yang Bo was determined to fight them to the death.

In this situation, the only person Li Zheng could persuade was the Black Demon Cult Leader.

"Thank you for your kindness, Emperor of Great Zhou. Senior Yang has offered me a condition I cannot refuse, so I have no choice but to help him in this battle. Please forgive me!"

They spoke politely, but their attitude was incredibly tough.

He won't leave!

The three supreme beings gathered together, even though they were suppressed by the dual domains of Li Zheng and Qi Yufan.

The aura they exuded was in no way inferior to that of the two people in front of them.

"you?"

Li Zheng frowned, speechless for a moment.

On the contrary, Qi Yufan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"We've come this far, there's no turning back now. Young Emperor, make your move."

As he spoke, the red ribbon that had already covered half of the palace began to shrink continuously.

It seemed they were trying to trap the three of them.

"This is the Red Silk Realm, everyone be careful."

Yang Bo looked at the red ribbons wrapping around him from all directions, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.

Qi Yufan, the patriarch of the Duke of Qi's mansion, had some personality issues.

She's clearly not young anymore, but she gives off the feeling of a little girl who hasn't grown up much, with the mentality of someone only fifteen or sixteen.

But her abilities are genuine.

With a red ribbon in her left hand, she could cover half the palace. Within this area, she could manipulate the ribbon at will and do whatever she pleased.

His right hand held a cold, long sword, and he had mastered a very strange sword technique.

If they don't make a move, all is well; but if they do, it will be a deadly strike.

The fact that the Great Zhou royal family is able to remain so stable is partly due to the fact that the emperor himself can unleash supreme peak combat power in the capital.

Another reason is because of Qi Yufan.

This patriarch of the Duke of Qi's mansion was a formidable fighter, even among experts at the Supreme Realm.

She has a pure heart and is able to fully demonstrate her martial arts skills.

Even Yang Bo, a supreme being who has lived for over 500 years, dared not be careless in the slightest when facing her.

"Li Zheng, you were able to unleash the power of a Supreme Peak, which must have been due to the Guardian Stone and the Imperial Seal, right? Although I don't know how the First Emperor of your Great Zhou Dynasty managed to do it, it certainly wasn't because of anything from your Li family."

As Yang Bo spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Zheng, as if trying to get some answer from the other's eyes.

Li Zheng is far too young compared to the others in front of him.

But after all, he had been emperor for so many years, and in terms of experience alone, he was no less experienced than these old monsters.

There was no clue on his face.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't say anything, Yang Bo curled his lips into a smile.

Sometimes, silence is the answer.

"How despicable! You actually use the treasures of my Great Yu Dynasty to perpetuate your glory?"

"The First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed an ungrateful, treacherous, and shameless villain."

"You are not allowed to insult our ancestor! Yang Bo, you deserve to die."

Li Zheng, who had been silent all along, could no longer hold back at this moment.

He could not tolerate the humiliation suffered by his ancestors.

Not to mention the First Emperor of the Great Zhou, who was Li Zheng's most admired figure, and he would not allow anyone to desecrate him.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe that you lot really know nothing."

As Yang Bo spoke, he pulled out a gleaming golden sword.

"My Great Yu Dynasty possesses three supreme treasures: the Guardian Stone, the Imperial Seal, and the Divine Sword that Protects the Nation. You have obtained two of them, and haven't you always wanted the third? I, the Crown Prince, have brought it to you."

The golden sword gleamed, its light shining brightly.

The moment Li Zheng saw the sword, he felt his body tremble slightly.

The Imperial Seal and the Guardian Stone buried in the earth's veins sensed the presence of the Divine Sword that protected the nation, and seemed about to fly out from Li Zheng's body and the underground palace.

"Is it really the sword that protects the nation?"

This is a treasure that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been longing to obtain.

Unexpectedly, Yang Bo delivered himself to my doorstep.

Just as Li Zheng was thinking this, the golden sword slashed outwards.

With a few swishing sounds, the seemingly resilient red ribbon was cut in two.

"My precious ribbon!"

Seeing this scene, Qi Yufan felt as if her heart was bleeding.

It took a lot of money and effort to make that red ribbon back then.

Not only the Duke of Qi's mansion, but even the imperial palace's treasury was opened for her to choose from.

In previous battles with other Supreme Beings, the Red Ribbon had never suffered any damage.

I never imagined that today, it would be cut off so easily?

"Today is the day when I, the Crown Prince, will retrieve the Great Yu's treasure and revive the Great Yu."

Three supreme realm experts suddenly appeared in the palace.

Yang Boxian was full of confidence.

He seemed to have already foreseen Li Zheng's death in battle, and that he would successfully retrieve the three divine artifacts.

With just two divine artifacts, Li Zheng, a half-step supreme being, was able to unleash the strength of a peak supreme being.

If Yang Bo were to collect all three divine artifacts, coupled with his own Supreme Realm cultivation, he would be able to achieve his goal.

Yang Bo didn't even dare to imagine what kind of combat power he would be able to unleash at that time.
