Chapter 395: The Emperor's Ambition: The Qilin Demon Army
The attacker felt as if the entire world was filled by that enormous fist, pressing down on him like the sky itself...
He was utterly horrified. He considered himself a man of great experience, having seen countless masters, but he had never witnessed such terrifying martial arts.
Under that punch, he had no idea how to resist or counterattack. He didn't even know where his opponent was; he could only instinctively adopt a defensive stance...
Just then, the enormous fist transformed into fingers, easily piercing through his defenses and smashing down on his head like a towering jade pillar.
He immediately fainted.
In a flash, Shi Qingxuan saw Li Ping standing right in front of her.
She was horrified; Li Ping's speed had increased again, and his cultivation was becoming increasingly unfathomable.
It seems the rumors are true; Li Ping has already reached the Shattered Realm. If he were still in our world, he could have ascended to become an immortal!
Shi Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt very embarrassed.
She left the Palace of Searching for Gods, but when she encountered danger, Li Ping still had to come to her rescue...
I used to be doing just fine on my own, so why do I feel like I've become useless now?
Besides, Li Ping is already an immortal, would he still care about me?
"How is that possible?"
The two men who were attacking the fire qilin changed their expressions drastically when they saw the effeminate man fall to the ground.
They knew exactly how strong he was...
The moment they were distracted, the fire qilin prepared to counterattack.
But then it saw Nie Feng, and surprisingly, it ran happily to him, even putting away its flames, and rubbed against him, shaking its head and wagging its tail...
This doesn't look like a fire qilin at all; it looks more like a puppy!
Li Ping clicked his tongue in amazement, then looked at the two men and said, "State your names, and depending on the situation, I might spare your lives."
Li Ping initially intended to beat the sissy to death, but in the end, he chose to spare his life.
He wanted to know who these people were.
The man wielding twin swords said, "Sir, we are only here to hunt the fire qilin, and we do not wish to make enemies."
Li Ping said, "Oh? Then why are you attacking my disciples from the Search for Gods Palace?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically. No wonder this person's lightness skill was so amazing; it turned out that this person was the number one person in the world—Li Ping.
Wait, isn't that Nie Feng behind him?
Damn!
With these two around, there's no way to escape!
At this moment, the man carrying the ladder said, "So it's Master Li in person. This is a misunderstanding. We only attacked this young lady to hunt the Fire Qilin, and we didn't want her to interfere with us..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a weight on his body.
When he came to his senses, he found himself "planted" in the soil, with only his head sticking out of the ground.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his heart and soul shattered, because he didn't even know how he had been infected.
How is that possible?!
No matter how fast Li Ping is, he shouldn't be so fast that I can't catch a trace of him...
Surely they wouldn't have pinned me to the ground before I even realized what was happening?
What kind of martial art is this?!
Li Ping looked at the two of them and calmly said, "This is the last chance."
Even though Li Ping displayed such terrifying power, the two of them still didn't mention a word about their origins.
There was nothing else Li Ping could do but knock out the one wielding the double swords and the one playing with the ladder.
He then used his life force to deeply hypnotize them, and finally found out the origins of the three people.
It turns out they are the son and subordinates of the old emperor of the Fengyun World—Jiao Luosha, Tie Ti Shen Sha, and Huo Lang.
Because of their special way of connecting, they quickly came together after arriving in this world.
Then the old emperor was in a real bind, because the situation in Japan was extremely complicated, as there were now four emperors there!
The first one is the local emperor, who is purely a mascot.
He had no military force or authority, but the locals recognized him and he had legitimate legal standing.
Then there's Emperor Zhaocheng, who is himself, the old emperor from the first part of Storm Riders, who wanted to seize the dragon vein, and was eventually defeated by Bu Jingyun and committed suicide.
Another one is Emperor Zhaowu, the emperor in the second part of Fengyun, who wanted to retrieve his father's remains but was defeated by Wuming. He promised Wuming that he would never invade the Central Plains during his lifetime.
Another one is Ren Chengzhi, the "son" of Emperor Shōmu.
When I heard this name.
Li Ping cursed inwardly. The first two emperors were alright, not that difficult to deal with, but Lian Chengzhi was the ultimate boss of the third part of Fengyun.
That makes absolutely no sense!
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are all youth versions... and you've sent all these big bosses instead?!
Fortunately, these emperors were not of one mind.
When the old emperor was alive, there was of course a loving father-son relationship between him and his son, but now that everyone is an emperor, there is resentment in their hearts.
The old emperor learned from others what his original fate was and what happened afterward, which made him feel very aggrieved that he had lost so badly.
But this led him to discover a key point.
Although the blood of the Fire Qilin is not like the blood of the Phoenix or the essence of the Dragon, which can grant immortality and strength, drinking the blood of the Fire Qilin will make one extremely powerful after becoming possessed by a demon.
In the original future, he used the Nine-Turn Heart Pill to control Nie Feng, who had fallen into demonic possession.
This means that if he can hunt the Fire Qilin and obtain its blood, he can make many people become possessed like Nie Feng, and then control these people with the Nine-Turn Heart Pill.
In this way, he will have a massive army of Qilin demons!
As the emperor with the weakest subordinates, he desperately needed this!
To keep it a secret, he sent several of his trusted men to do it quietly.
In the original timeline, he had conducted in-depth research on the Fire Qilin in order to seize the Dragon Vein, and he believed that his subordinates could accomplish it...
As a result, he ran into Li Ping!
Nie Feng had already heard about the Qilin Demon from Huang Ying.
Upon hearing that the old emperor wanted to create an army of Qilin demons, he was horrified; this was simply insane.
Lang Fanyun frowned: "Is this even possible?"
Li Ping shook his head: "I don't know. In the original timeline, there were many factors that led Nie Feng to become the Qilin Demon."
"However, regardless of whether or not the Qilin Demon Army exists, these emperors will not be at peace."
"We just resolved the crisis on the grasslands, and now we're facing a crisis from the sea."
In the end, Li Ping did not kill these former emperors, but instead used his life-saving technique to deeply modify their consciousness, making them believe that they had genuinely pledged allegiance to Li Ping.
Li Ping instructed them to return and contact Kazumi Nobutsuna, to join forces with the old emperor, and to sow discord among the emperors, trying to prevent them from uniting.
His biggest worry was Lian Chengzhi, but he guessed that Lian Chengzhi hadn't yet reached his complete form, otherwise he probably wouldn't be so cowardly...
However, the Eastern Sea isn't just about Liancheng Zhi; there are many truly skilled individuals from the Eastern Sea in the world of Fengyun...
Therefore, I need to break through the limits of my true energy as soon as possible!
It all depends on whether your idea can come to fruition!
……
at this time.
The Queen Bee is explaining in detail to Hayato Ten'in and the Hidden Sword Style masters how Zetsu was defeated by Li Ping...
