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

A technique that shrinks the distance to an inch.

In Li Changqing's view, he seemed to have entered another dimension.

What was originally an extremely long spatial distance appeared to him like a scaled-down map.

His current strength is not enough to truly achieve the ability to shrink the distance to an inch and travel a thousand miles in one step.

His step would only take him a few dozen feet at most.

For experts at the Supreme Realm, this distance is covered in an instant when they unleash their full power.

The problem is, Li Changqing can't take just one step.

Although there are still limitations, it's not possible to run too many at once.

But walking dozens or even hundreds of steps was still quite easy for Li Changqing.

He took more than a dozen steps in a row, and his whole body appeared hundreds of feet away.

Just as Yang Bo was about to slip out of the palace, he was stopped by Li Changqing.

"How could you be so fast?"

Yang Bo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The shock he experienced today was unlike anything he had experienced in the previous five hundred years.

Even when facing the First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had never felt this flustered.

After years of painstaking planning, although on the surface the Great Zhou royal family, in alliance with powerful and influential families, has managed to govern the entire Great Zhou as a unified entity.

But in reality, Yang Bo's influence is also considerable.

Whether in the palace, the prince's mansion, the imperial court, or the border...

He has people all around him.

Before the World Society emerged, he was the hidden Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, Li Changqing was nothing more than a threatening young member of the royal family in his eyes.

By sheer luck, he obtained the innate essence and the supreme treasure, the Sun and Moon Wheel.

Although Li Changqing may not be able to break through to the Supreme Realm in the future.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Yang Bo still used his own men to steal the thirteenth grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty and drown him in the river.

With the sun and moon protecting him, if Li Changqing were to be in mortal danger, he would cause a huge commotion.

If the commotion becomes too great, Yang Bo will be no match for the Emperor of Great Zhou in the capital, and all his plans will be in vain.

The only way to kill Li Changqing is to use a sleeping potion; poison won't work.

Then they trapped the person to death.

There were too many uncertainties in the locked room, so he ultimately chose to tie the person to a stone and throw them into the river.

From Yang Bo's perspective, his actions back then were not problematic.

The problem is, Li Changqing ran away.

He's been running for ten years!

Just in case, Yang Bo also devised another plan.

Puppet Support Program.

They supported a puppet ruler to see if there was any hope of confusing the royal family's bloodline after Li Yuanhao ascended the throne.

For Yang Bo, this wasn't even a carefully planned scheme; it was just a casual move he made.

His real plan was to deceive the Supreme Being, hoping to take advantage of the Supreme Being's numerical superiority to seize the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.

They received the inheritance from the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If Li Changqing hadn't suddenly broken through to the Supreme Realm, his plan would still have had a chance of success.

of course.

Judging from the strength Li Zheng just displayed, they might have a chance at best, but they might not necessarily succeed.

Li Changqing's sudden appearance completely killed their chance.

The Black Demon Cult Leader and the Heavenly Demon Elder exchanged a glance.

Seeing Li Zheng, who was like a god, they truly began to back down.

The reason why the Black Demon Cult Leader did not leave before.

It was because he had already offended the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he also knew that the Archer God Lü Liang was there.

Since the feud between the two sides has already begun, it might as well go all the way and completely annihilate the Great Zhou royal family.

Four Supreme Realm experts acting together is a feat that will definitely be recorded in history.

That won't work now. He can't care less about whether they've offended the Great Zhou royal family.

If they had left later, they might not have even been able to save their lives.

"Fellow Daoist Tianmo, would you be willing to join the Black Demon Cult with me?"

With one arm severed, the Black Demon Lord's power was greatly diminished.

Even if he leaves Kyoto, Li Changqing and Qi Yufan alone are enough to keep him up at night.

Not to mention there's also the carefree swordsman, Xiaoyao Hou.

The strength of the Great Zhou is now vastly different from what it used to be. Previously, the three supreme rulers of the Great Zhou were not united and were hostile to each other.

Things are completely different now.

"Let's get out of this awful place first!"

The old demon licked his lips.

This battle had a huge impact on him; he never expected that the foundation of the Great Zhou royal family was so strong.

Fellow Daoist Yang, I'm sorry.

Li Zheng did not stop the Black Demon Cult Leader and the Heavenly Demon Elder from leaving.

On the one hand, he was afraid that things might get complicated if things dragged on, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that Li Changqing wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the national treasure sword.

Yang Bo, having burned his vital energy, experienced a power surge that doubled, making him resemble a ferocious beast.

Li Changqing was caught in a bind and couldn't stop him.

It was at this moment that Li Zheng arrived.

The power of the nine golden dragons of the earth veins once again gathered on Li Zheng, and pressed down on Yang Bo in an overwhelming manner.

"You have caused the deaths of 157 members of my royal family, and indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Great Zhou. It's time to settle accounts with you!"

When Yang Bo, burning with his vital energy, fought desperately, his strength was terrifying.

For a time, he was evenly matched with Li Zheng.

Unfortunately, his opponents were not only Li Zheng, but also Li Changqing.

The Divine Martial Tai Chi Chuan continuously weakened his power.

The moon also launches surprise attacks from time to time...

Even with Yang Bo burning his blood and qi, the two of them working together still put them at a disadvantage.

If Li Zheng and Li Changqing hadn't been thinking of slowly wearing him down to prevent Yang Bo from fighting back and causing any accidents...

By this time, Yang Bo had probably already perished.

The two sides fought for a full half hour before an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Yang Bo, who could have held on for half an hour, was suddenly struck in the chest by a sword.

Without any warning, the sword's edge pierced his chest in an instant.

"Great, great, I finally made it!"

Qi Yufan returned.

Her sword strike directly reduced Yang Bo's combat power by 20%.

Red ribbons fluttered down, instantly covering most of the palace. Combined with Li Zheng's power, even with Yang Bo burning his blood and qi, he could only unleash his original strength.

Li Changqing, Li Zheng, Qi Yufan.

The three Supreme Beings joined forces and, in less than ten moves, completely killed Yang Bo, a veteran Supreme Being.

Li Zheng shattered Li Changqing's heart meridian with a single punch, Li Changqing slit Li Changqing's throat with a moon wheel, and Qi Yufan pierced Li Changqing's skull with a single sword strike.

This former crown prince, the dark emperor who had ruled the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, thus met his demise.

In the instant he fell, the national treasure sword in his hand flew into Li Zheng's hand in a flash.

With the Imperial Seal of the State above his head, the Guardian Stone beneath his feet, and the Divine Sword that protects the nation in his hand.

Li Zheng, whose strength was already terrifying, now seemed more like a god from heaven.

He glanced down, and it felt like a god looking down upon the world.

"Finally got it!"

Li Zheng murmured.

Their Great Zhou Dynasty had longed for this for so long, and finally their wish had come true.

Besides the national treasure sword, there is also the power left behind by Yang Bo.

This all requires slow investigation and gradual incorporation.

From then on, the Great Zhou Dynasty only had the Heaven and Earth Society left, and there was no longer any Dark Emperor.
