Chapter 439: Li Ping: Give me the Azure Dragon Relic
Chapter 439: Li Ping: Give me the Azure Dragon Relic
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
At this time, many people from the Kingdom of Buyeo were gathered outside the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave.
The Holy King was deeply loved by the people of Fuyu, so when many people learned that he was going to break the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave and break the oath of his ancestors to march into the Central Plains, they all came here to support him.
Back then, his ancestor, Dongfang Canglong, was willing to give up his imperial ambitions, but he couldn't give up his martial arts skills.
He left behind all his power, but fearing that his descendants would start a war if they obtained it, he set up the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave, with four passes within it, each guarded by his followers and descendants.
These four challenges are named "Suffering, Origin, Cessation, and Path," derived from Buddhist teachings. The martial arts of the guardians at each challenge are designed to counter the Holy King's family's unique skills. That's why the Holy King became Mu Yingxiong's disciple and learned his Wutian Absolute Sword.
Just now, with the help of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, he had already killed the guardian of the first level, and his hard skills were comparable to those of the Bitter Saint of the Godless Realm.
They also defeated the guardian of the second level—the Twelve Truths.
These twelve men were extremely loyal. After being defeated, they all committed suicide, using their blood to activate the "Destruction" armor that Dongfang Canglong had worn years ago.
This armor houses the undying battle spirit of the million-strong army of the Eastern Azure Dragon in those days, making it extremely powerful.
After Duan Ming, the guardian of "Destroying the Pass," put on it, even if the Holy King, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and others joined forces, they would not be able to defeat him.
However, the Holy King had already laid out plans for this long ago.
He has been close friends with Duanming since childhood and is Duanming's only "friend". Now, he is using his friendship with Duanming to severely damage Duanming.
And while saying, "You're still my friend, I'll spare your life," he tried to break Duan Ming's will to fight, causing his armor to disintegrate, before finally delivering a ruthless blow...
Finally, while still saying "You are still my good friend," he had someone slit Duanming's throat, leaving Nie Feng speechless!
This infuriated the Taoist guardians of the final checkpoint, but they were powerless against the Holy King. There was only one way to confront the Holy King...
In front of a group of elderly men in their seventies and eighties, Dao Guo, who was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, stepped onto the stone coffin of the Eastern Azure Dragon and placed his hands on the hands carved on the coffin...
In an instant, a mysterious power emanated from the stone coffin, and the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave was instantly filled with flowers.
The stone coffin shattered, and Dao Guo arrived in a consciousness space, where she saw the Azure Dragon of the East.
Holding the Azure Dragon Relic in his hands, Dongfang Canglong said, "Among the four schools of Suffering, Origin, Cessation, and Tao, I have long since chosen the Tao school as the recipient of my power."
"When I built the tomb, I had already foreseen that the tomb would be breached one day, so I concentrated all my power into this Azure Dragon Relic."
"The relic contains the essence of the Azure Dragon Emperor Sword that I gleaned from the battlefield. When the sword is drawn, it is sure to kill, annihilating all living beings."
"But the user will also die from exhaustion of their essence, do you understand?"
Dao Guo's eyes were resolute: "I know that I was chosen to bear this power since I was a child. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of harming the innocent."
Dongfang Canglong said, "Child, if the dragon's lair is breached, the bloodshed will only increase. Using force to stop war will only lead to more bloodshed."
Just then, a voice strangely rang out in this space of consciousness: "Bullshit! If you hadn't set up this trap, none of this nonsense would have happened!"
Dongfang Canglong was stunned: "How could this be? How can someone enter the Azure Dragon Relic and communicate with me? What level of cultivation is this?"
The voice said, "I never expected that someone who has been dead for so many years could still retain the ability to think, thanks to the remnant soul he left behind."
"Your martial arts are truly fascinating. This Azure Dragon Relic is far more powerful than the Evil Emperor's Relic!"
"Oh, by the way, my name is Li Ping, and the situation is complicated..."
Li Ping suddenly sensed a strange spiritual power in the distance.
He had never seen anything so magical before, so he took the initiative to communicate with it and then entered this consciousness space. Who would have thought that this would be the Azure Dragon Relic of the Eastern Azure Dragon?
After explaining, Li Ping continued, "Instead of giving this power to a little girl, you should give it to me."
Dongfang Canglong was silent for a moment: "Alright, Xiaoguo, have your entire clan retreat. There's no need for meaningless sacrifices at this time."
Then, he looked at Li Ping and finally answered the first question: "It's all fate!"
Li Ping pursed his lips. Okay!
This world is based on fatalism!
Then, Li Ping said to Dao Guo, "Little friend, stay away, I'll hurry over... Huh?"
Just then, Li Ping sensed two powerful sword intents soaring into the sky, which were none other than Wuming and Mu Yingxiong.
Li Ping had previously agreed with the two that they should notify him with their sword intent as soon as they discovered the existence of the Time Nightmare.
So, they found it?
That direction seems to be the direction where the Azure Dragon Relic is located...
……
Mu Yingxiong, caught in the fragment of time, was stunned, for just moments before, he had sensed two soaring sword intents.
These two sword intents were so familiar; one was his own, and the other was his younger brother, Wuming.
What's going on?
He then immediately unleashed his sword intent, a terrifying intent that even cleaved through the thick clouds in the sky, allowing sunlight to shine down, and he rapidly approached those two directions.
The people who were breaking into the dragon's lair were also stunned.
The Holy King gazed into the distance: "The sword intent of Nameless and my master? Two masters? How is this possible?"
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were the same; how could they not distinguish the nameless sword intent?
But why is the nameless master here?
Just then, they sensed a strange aura.
Suddenly, countless figures appeared outside the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave; they were a group of martial arts practitioners who appeared out of nowhere!
Each of them possessed extraordinary skills, yet they immediately began to slaughter the people who were outside supporting the Holy King.
In an instant, the crowd collapsed like wheat, and cries of despair filled the air...
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were taken aback and prepared to stop the assassins, but the Holy King said, "You can't leave!"
Nie Feng flew into a rage: "Those are your people! Don't you care about their lives?"
The Holy King calmly said, "Of course I love my people very much, but everything comes at a price."
"We've come this far, just one last step. If we leave now, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
"As long as I obtain the power left by my ancestors, I can lead my people to conquer the Central Plains and reclaim the glory that my ancestors deserved!"
"Compared to this, this sacrifice is insignificant."
Nie Feng was dumbfounded. So the Holy King, who was loved by the people of Fuyu, actually had no regard for the common people at all.
He really is a hypocrite.
But the two were helpless.
Bu Jingyun's son is still in the hands of the Holy King, and Nie Feng's wife is also in the hands of the Holy King. The Holy King holds both of their weaknesses in his grasp...
Ordinary people were powerless against martial arts masters, and hundreds died in the blink of an eye!
But then, something unexpected happened.
Bu Jingyun and his companion saw three familiar figures appear outside the Nine Star Hidden Dragon Cave: Juexin, Di Shitian, and Wu Wudi.
In an instant, they were engaged in battle with the assassins who had slaughtered the people of Buyeo!
Everyone was stunned when they saw the three of them appear together.
What's going on?
