Besides the Azure Dragon Mechanism, four of the five leaders of the Mohist school arrived—Big Iron Hammer, Gao Jianli, Snow Maiden, and Robber Zhi—along with the Mohist Grandmaster Jing Tianming and the Mirror Lake Healer Duanmu Rong, making a total of six top masters.
The two heroes of Guiguzi arrived together, occupying the central position.
Although Quicksand is an assassin group, its initial purpose was actually 'to use tactics to uncover evil and to use punishment to stop punishment!'
Beneath the assassin's veil lies the greatest Legalist blade.
With Zhang Liang's invitation, Wei Zhuang did not refuse this alliance with Gai Nie, once again turning from the 'white path' to the 'black path', causing the Dragon Emperor to frown deeply and feel angry.
Sure enough, an assassin is an assassin; he's not trustworthy at all.
The greatest threat to the empire came from the peasantry.
Even with the Mohist Azure Dragon and the two heroes of Guigu, they were still no match for the Farmer's faction.
The Farmer's Clan is led by the chivalrous leader Tian Yan, and includes Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang, the black swordsmen of the Ba Kui Hall, Zhu Jia, the head of the Shennong Hall, Tian Hu, the head of the Chi You Hall, and Gu Yao, Situ Wanli of the Si Yue Hall, and Tian Ci and Mei San Niang of the Lie Shan Hall, in addition to nine other masters.
Hidden in the shadows, a terrifying killing intent was what everyone feared most.
The old man hidden in the tomb of the Six Sages of the Farming Family!
Despite the terrifying strength of the Black Swordsman, who was ranked among the top three on the Black List, Tian Yan was unable to ambush him.
The perfect level of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, with strength ranking among the top three on the Black List, is far beyond what Tian Yan can achieve through underhanded tactics; it is an overwhelming force against Tian Yan.
Therefore, Tian Yan did not scheme against the Black Swordsman and sent him to Lishan.
Instead, the Black Swordsman became the main force in this earth-shattering plan. After all, the Black Swordsman's strength at the perfect level of the Wedding Dress was such that even a Grandmaster would have a hard time getting the better of him in front of the Giant Sword.
"A bunch of imperial traitors!"
At this moment, the Dragon Emperor's gaze swept over them one by one, and Meng Yi and Zhao Gao beside him also had solemn expressions.
Leaving aside the others, the Black Swordsman and the Twin Heroes of Ghost Valley alone possess combat power at the Black List level. Then there are the four peerless masters: Jing Tianming, the young master of the Xiang family, Xiaoyaozi, and Tian Ci; and Gao Jianli, Tian Hu, Zhu Jia, Zhang Liang, Mei San Niang… these top-tier masters are in no way inferior to the Eight Swords of Yue…
With such a terrifying combination, it's no wonder they dared to openly block the Dragon Emperor's chariot.
As for the master in the dark?
Similarly, the farmhouse also has six old monsters at the Tomb of the Six Sages, ensuring absolute safety.
"Father, with such strength, can the Dragon Emperor really escape this calamity?"
Even Zhang Sheng couldn't help but gasp when he saw it, never expecting these imperial rebels to be so crazy, almost coming out in their entire force.
With such terrifying strength, it seemed the Dragon Emperor was doomed unless the Zhang family intervened.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan was mostly just watching the show; he only asked him to save people.
"The empire's foundation is far more complex than you imagine."
Moreover, since I gave advance notice this time, how could the Empire not be fully prepared? The Crimson Serpent Mechanism is one of them.
Furthermore, never underestimate any of your opponents, even if they seem like ants to you that you could easily crush one day.
Especially the Crimson Sky Sword Master, who slew the White Serpent, is the Lord of Destiny!
He will be your greatest enemy when you unify the land; once you meet him, do not give him any chance.
"Nip it in the bud before it rises!"
"The Crimson Sky Sword Master? I understand, Father!"
Zhang Sheng didn't believe in these destinies, but after traveling across the land for ten years, he knew that these destinies weren't unfounded.
Especially considering Zhang Xiaoshan's status and position, since he knew about the Lord of Destiny, it couldn't be information that some charlatan could easily sway him with; rather, it was information he was 80-90% certain of.
Crimson Sky Sword Master!
Zhang Sheng then looked at the Pure Yang Sword in his hand, which was an unparalleled divine weapon.
I believe even the Crimson Sky Sword Master would be suppressed by him.
···
"kill!"
The moment Fang Yi appeared, the 'imperial traitor' unleashed a terrifying killing intent.
The sword's aura was like a rainbow, its light chilling the entire land!
At this moment, the sword energy surged and rippled like a tide. In front of a group of top swordsmen, nearly ten thousand imperial guards might be able to fight against ten or a hundred, but they were still as fragile as ants in front of these masters.
Gai Nie alone could slaughter three thousand Dragon Elephant Armored Warriors, let alone now that the two heroes of Ghost Valley have joined forces.
The two sword energies were as sharp as the cold wind of the north, a chilling aura rising from the depths of one's heart, a deathly gaze that made one tremble.
Immediately, a surge of powerful sword energy erupted from the center of the Ghost Valley Duo.
Two opposing yet complementary sword energies intertwined, like two raging sea dragons, instantly stirring up the wind and clouds, their sword energy surging and sweeping across all directions.
The armor of the Imperial Guards, which could defend against ordinary weapons, was instantly torn apart like paper by the lightning-fast, swift sword lights.
Such a domineering combined attack left the experts present dumbfounded and filled with apprehension.
Is this the true strength of the Ghost Valley Duo?
Even grandmasters would give way to him!
Especially the Black Swordsman, after perfecting the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, thought he could crush Gai Nie.
However, even with the Twin Swords of the Vertical and Horizontal, he had no confidence that he could block this move, which was definitely a sure-fire way to win.
Even Zhao Gao was the same.
As the head manager of Guanhailou, neither the Luo Wang nor the Yingmiwei had the authority to arrest people, especially since he was also the head chef of Guanhailou.
Therefore, this was the first time Zhao Gao had seen the alliance of the strategists, although this was not the first time the Luo Wang (Zhao De Zhao) had faced such an alliance.
Besides these, there's Xiang Shaoyu, wielding the Overlord Halberd and sweeping across the land; Tian Ci, exuding a chilling aura with Gan Jiang and Mo Xie; and the invincible black swordsman wielding the Giant Sword...
Each one was like a tiger among sheep; the killing intent brought by a single sword aura swept across an entire area, rather than killing one person at a time.
In terms of strength, these are top-tier super bosses, far beyond the capabilities of these imperial guards.
Even the Dragon Emperor couldn't help but furrow his brow; these were all the empire's top-notch imperial guards.
“．‖ Zhao Gao”.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sensing the Dragon Emperor's displeasure, Zhao Gao no longer concealed it.
With a wave of his hand, the Eight Swords of Yue Wang emerged from the guards accompanying him, even the Jing Ni Sword had a new master.
Besides the Six Sword Slaves of Luo Wang, the Sword Master Jing Ni is also a top-notch expert, not to mention a powerful being like Yan Ri, a top swordsman who can rival the Twin Heroes of Guigu.
But that's far from enough!
Chapter 778 The Situation is Immediately Clear: The Dragon Emperor's Perilous Situation
Hidden in the shadows are the imperial retainers, each a renowned master in the martial arts world—
At the bottom of the blacklist are Shangguan Jin Hong, Daoist Tianzong Xiao Meng, Yin Yang School Protector Xing Hun, and Da Shao Siming...
These unexpected experts caught Gai Nie and his companions off guard.
It should be noted that Shangguan Jin Hong is a master on the Black List, and Tian Zong Xiao Meng is no less than the Taoist Xiao Yao Zi, the Yin Yang School's guardian Xing Hun can also hold off the Mo Family's leader Jing Tian Ming, and Da Shao Siming is a rare top-tier assassin.
Meanwhile, Meng Yi and Zhao Gao, who were also at the pinnacle of their cultivation, made the Dragon Emperor realize the difficulty of this battle.
The empire was prepared all along, waiting for them to fall into their trap. Who leaked the information?
Could it be Tian Yan?
Tian Yan is Jing Ni, an assassin from the Luo Wang organization, and the two heroes of Guigu Valley had long been on guard against her.
However, killing generals on the battlefield would inevitably disrupt the morale of the army.
Moreover, Tian Yan is the leader of the Farmer's Clan. Without sufficient reason, how can one attack a leader of the Farmer's Clan? Even the six members of the Six Sages of the Farmer's Clan do not have this right.
Unexpectedly, the Luo Wang organization still received the news and even set up this killing trap in advance.
Tian Yan shook her head, denying that she had passed on the message.
After all, the Guigu brothers were not to be trifled with. By the time she received the news, she was already under their surveillance.
Besides, Tian Ci is also in room 717; she couldn't possibly put Tian Ci in danger as well.
All of this only proves that there were already conflicts within Gai Nie's organization.
"The Eight Swords of Yue, the Yin-Yang School, Shangguan Jin Hong, Tianzong Xiaomeng..."
The six major forces exchanged glances and chose their opponents.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's opponent is the Eight Swords of Yue. With their combined strength, they have little chance of winning against the Eight Swords of Yue, but they can hold them off.
As the two heroes of Guigu, they knew how to make choices in order to maximize their interests.
Wei Zhuang's strength is no less than that of the Black List level, and is even above that of Shangguan Jin Hong. After all, Wei Zhuang is dealing with Gai Nie, who is ranked sixth on the Black List.
The reason Wei Zhuang wasn't on the blacklist is because Shark Tooth wasn't included in the sword manual.
In the Taoist destiny showdown, Tian Hu stepped forward from the crowd in front of Xing Hun, Tian Yan faced off against Da Siming, and Shao Siming looked at Mei San Niang with a solemn expression.
A daughter can be far more ruthless in a fight than a man.
Shangguan Jin Hong faced off against the young swordsman Tian Ci, a newly promoted top five on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
Overpowering the 18-year-old Taoist master Xiaomeng, this mentally challenged child topped the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, demonstrating strength comparable to the two heroes of Guiguzi.
Undoubtedly, this is a fierce battle!
After all, although young Tian Ci had intellectual disabilities, he possessed a pure heart and amazing talent in martial arts.
Gan Jiang and Mo Xie are top-tier swords among peerless divine weapons, even surpassing his Dragon and Phoenix Twin Rings in rank, and in every aspect they are no less than Shangguan Jin Hong.
However, other masters were far inferior to the masters of the Mohist and Agricultural Schools.
Leaving aside the unparalleled strength of the young master of the Xiang clan, even just considering the top masters of the Mohist and Agricultural schools—Black Swordsman, Gao Jianli, Wu Kuang, Big Iron Hammer, Mei San Niang, Bone Demon…
Even the most mysterious figures like Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Liu Ji were not to be underestimated.
The Lingxu Sword ranks tenth on the sword manual, which indicates that Zhang Liang's strength is at least among the top swordsmen!
Han Xin was able to instantly kill Tian Zhong of Gonggong Hall. Even if there was a suspicion of underestimating his opponent, Han Xin's strength was at least at the first-class level (the pinnacle of mastery). As Zhu Jia's deputy and the master of the Chixiao Sword, Liu Ji's hidden strength was even more unimaginable.
Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for the empire to rely on Meng Yi and Zhao Gao to reverse the defeat.
···
"Father, is this what you meant by 'insignificant'?"
Having cultivated the Longevity Technique to perfection, Zhang Sheng's extremely keen senses naturally allowed him to detect the Grandmaster hidden beside the Dragon Emperor.
However, the Six Sages of the Farmer School were also present, and the Farmer School's Earthly Swamp Formation was far more terrifying than the Six Sword Slaves.
The six sages of the peasant family could severely injure, and even nearly kill, Lord Wu'an back then, and they can still do it now. There is even the Black Swordsman, who is ranked third on the Black List, who can hold off a Grandmaster.
With such a powerful combination, the assassination should be over in less than fifteen minutes.
This was even with the Dragon Emperor possessing the true qi of the wedding dress and innate divine skills.
Otherwise, a mere clash of ultimate moves by peerless masters would be enough to kill an ordinary Dragon Emperor!
"Keep watching!"
If killing an empire's ruler were so easy, then the empire would be a joke. Never underestimate the power and resources of an empire.
Moreover, the Dragon Emperor was a supreme emperor throughout history, so it was impossible for him to fall at the hands of a group of assassins.
Otherwise, your old man could have taken his place long ago!
When faced with a truly significant trend, minor tactics may be used, but a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole.
But never rely on petty tricks to accomplish great things.
"Understood, Father, I have learned my lesson!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's disdain, Zhang Sheng immediately abandoned his contempt.
What is a great emperor of all time?
The Dragon Emperor was the first emperor of the Nine Provinces throughout history, ending the millennia-long conflict between the Nine Provinces.
From that time on, the nine provinces were unified, and the world was united under one rule!
