Chapter 53 Ambush
"Your Majesty, you must not go there!"
"Xu Tianling will definitely set an ambush."
Jueyinluo kowtowed and begged.
Li Yannian played with the crystal in his hand but did not respond.
Everyone in the Jiuxuan Order kowtowed when they saw this, and they tried their best to persuade Li Yannian.
"Are you afraid of Xu Tianling, or are you afraid of them?"
Li Yannian's tone was faint,
"Are you still afraid of me?"
Everyone present was speechless, they neither dared nor wanted to speak.
Li Yannian stopped talking and walked slowly towards the door of the palace.
It wasn't until his slightly thin figure blended into the dark night that Jueyin Luo and the others stood up.
If someone hadn't stopped him, Jueyin Luo would have stepped forward to fight Yu Qinghun.
"Master Chief Assistant, what is going on?" Yu Qinghun was worried.
"Thirty years ago, His Majesty asked Xu Tianling for something."
"Thirty years ago?"
Yu Qinghun frowned,
"That must be the time of Tianlong's coup!"
"good!"
Yu Qinghun trembled all over.
"At that time, the Crown Prince and Queen assisted His Majesty's close friends and mentors in launching a horrific rebellion that affected many families and sects."
"They were once His Majesty's closest companions."
Wu Xingyun looked into the night.
"Your Majesty, has he really given up?"
"Have I given up?"
Li Yannian smiled faintly.
He hasn't been here for many years.
In a wasteland outside the palace wall, messy boulders were scattered randomly, covered with moss, and dotted with a dozen dead trees around them.
Buried here is a group of 'rebels' who don't even have graves!
"Come out, Xu Tianling."
call out!
Hundreds of talismans were shot from the sky.
They turned into wind knives, frost swords, thunder, and fireballs, and the dark night sky was dyed into day.
Li Yannian spread out his slender fingers and pointed them at the sky, then gently closed them inward.
Boom!
The intensive attacks exploded one after another, as if someone was flicking the night sky, erasing the extra spots on the night sky one by one.
"Xu Tianling, the talismans you have stored are still a little short."
"It seems that in my dim days, you were indeed living in poverty."
"Shut up, you fool!"
"Today is the day you die."
Twelve tall figures clad in golden armor slowly emerged from the ground, and they charged towards Li Yannian with spears in their hands.
At the same time, hundreds of talisman papers flew from the sky again.
Li Yannian's fingertips curled slightly.
clang!
The tips of the spears collided and stacked against each other.
The attack of the golden-armored warrior seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. Not only did the tip of the spear fall on the same point, but even the warrior's body was forcibly pulled in front of Li Yannian.
They collided with each other and made a loud noise.
Hoo ho ho!
Li Yannian opened his mouth and vomited.
The hot flames instantly burned the warriors into golden juice.
Then Li Yannian twirled his fingertips again, the air flow rotated in mid-air, and all the talismans were shattered by invisible threads before they could be transformed into attacks.
The whole process seems slow but is actually fast.
"It's so simple."
Li Yannian sighed quite a bit.
Emperor Lin needed to mobilize countless Confucian scholars and soldiers before he dared to attack the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, but now he only needs one person.
Li Yannian floated up again, and the huge insect shadow nearly thirty feet behind him slowly crawled out of the void.
Ying Ying Ying!
Its body was a little bloated, and it flapped its wings laboriously before rolling up its colorful scales and flying towards the distance.
"burst!"
Boom!
The clumps of fire exploded instantly, each tiny scale powder was a tiny explosive, and the wailing sound was quickly covered up by the explosion.
"Die!"
Xu Tianling finally moved.
Thirty-six boys holding thirty-six sapphire swords appeared around the insect shadow. Their swords united and thrust forward, causing the insect shadow to freeze instantly.
At the same time, a huge white whale figure slowly emerged behind Xu Tianling.
As thirty years of longevity burned crazily, Xu Tianling's hair turned pale but his whole body's strength quickly increased, and the white whale even rolled up a thousand layers of snowflakes.
"Half-step golden elixir!"
"You should be proud to die at this moment."
This was Xu Tianling's final blow to squeeze out his potential.
He came on a whale and stabbed forward with the jade sword in his hand. The extreme cold air seemed to freeze Li Yannian's body, leaving him unable to stop him in time.
Ding!
The tip of the sword touched Li Yannian's chest.
However····
There was only a slight dent in Li Yannian's chest.
Xu Tianling's face turned red and he held the sword in both hands and dug heavily in, but the effect was still minimal.
"That's it?"
Li Yannian laughed.
As his chest rose and fell, he actually bounced the jade sword back.
"I'm so sorry!"
"I didn't mean to humiliate you."
In Xu Tianling's desperate expression,
The butterfly wings behind Li Yannian spread out and enveloped Xu Tianling and the white whale.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The flames were burning in the butterfly wings. As the white whale and Xu Tianling struggled, flames continued to emerge from the gaps in the butterfly wings, and painful wailing and roaring sounds came from inside.
At the same time, a jade pendant was hooked out by insect silk. Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Tianling broke out of his wings.
Bang!
He fell.
Xu Tianling was like a piece of black coal crawling on the ground, leaving behind dark traces.
"Forgive me."
"Or I'll blow up this cemetery."
he gasped.
Li Yannian landed slowly.
He just watched quietly as Xu Tianling opened the mechanism.
The boulders on the wasteland rolled around, forming a huge circle. Then the circle collapsed, revealing a downward staircase.
In the huge underground space, countless icy blue crystals surrounded each ice pavilion. The corpses inside were lifelike, as if they were just sleeping.
"I asked you to help me preserve their remains in the past, but I didn't expect you to add so many talismans to them."
"Haha, as long as my life is threatened, they will completely explode!"
Xu Tianling laughed, and large swaths of black powder fell from his body.
"They are all the most important people in your life!"
"Emperor, are you willing to let them go?"
Li Yannian turned a deaf ear. He just walked back and forth, looking at each corpse carefully.
In addition to his queen and prince, there are also his sworn brother who raised and adopted him, his mentor who taught him martial arts skills, and three close friends who fought alongside him, oh, and there is also an old turtle raised by the prince.
"I haven't come to visit them for a long time."
"And my jade pendant, you must return it to me." Xu Tianling was still chattering.
"As expected, I have already given up."
"What?"
Li Yannian's figure is reflected on the crystal. Life and death, youth and old age, beauty and ugliness form the most vivid contrast.
"Did you see it? My way is the right one."
Li Yannian murmured to himself,
"Burn it."
Xu Tianling thought he heard wrongly, until Li Yannian's fingertips lit up with a trace of flame, and he screamed:
"Are you crazy?"
"Aren't these people your closest relatives and loved ones who you want to resurrect even if they betray you?"
"If I lose, maybe I will hesitate, regret, or even be afraid of seeing them."
A strange smile appeared on Li Yannian's handsome and delicate face.
"But when I succeed, I deserve better."
"Look at them like this, are they still worthy of me now? In the final analysis, they are just a group of traitors without a king or a father."
"Since the Tao is different, let them return to the dust."
"You're really crazy."
Xu Tianling shivered and stepped back. Looking at the emperor, he only felt suffocating fear.
puff,
With a stagger, he fell into the fireworks.
No no no no!
Amid Xu Tianling's screams, the flames burned brightly and the ice coffin slowly melted.
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
"Prolong life!"
The corpses suddenly came to life.
They became young and lively, surrounding Li Yannian.
"Oh, it's indeed here."
Li Yannian sneered in his heart, and the demon heart issued a fierce warning.
He saw a strand of seven-colored spider silk falling towards him in the void.
