Chapter 35 My Wife is Invincible
Who dares to disagree?
The officials remained silent, and not one dared to utter a word.
"Your Highness is wise and the people are devoted to you. Your ascension to the throne is exactly what the people want. Congratulations to Your Majesty! Your ascension to the throne is truly a blessing for all the people and a fortune for the world!"
After only a moment, an official in the room spoke loudly and knelt down directly before Li Guan, performing a full prostration, extremely obsequious.
As soon as he opened his mouth, congratulations erupted from the audience!
These officials were all from the Third Prince's faction, and now that the situation was settled, making a choice was effortless for them.
The other officials remained silent for a long time before following suit.
The situation is beyond our control. Today, the Emperor and all the officials are already in the hands of the Third Prince. Why wait to die?
More importantly, Emperor Xianxian had been obsessed with Taoism for many years and neglected state affairs. The officials in the court had long been alienated from him. Those officials who dared to offer honest advice had long been suppressed and driven away from the court. Among the remaining officials, only a few with some backbone were killed by Li Guan.
The remaining civil and military officials present at this moment can be described as nothing more than opportunists who follow the trend and change course with the wind.
For them, it didn't matter who was emperor.
In an instant, shouts of encouragement filled the hall, urging Li Guan to ascend the throne!
At first glance, only the eldest prince Li Yue and his officials, the Lin family, Zhao Tanyue and others glared angrily at Li Guan.
But they were all helpless; they were now at the mercy of others!
"Heh, Li Dao, you tyrannical and incompetent ruler, have you ever thought that today, all your ministers and officials will turn their backs on you? This feeling is not pleasant, is it?"
Luo Wenwu sneered and stared at Emperor Xianxian.
But Emperor Xianxian leaned against that ancient stone tablet, his eyes filled with a hint of melancholy, yet there was no trace of regret. He simply lowered his head and gently stroked the tablet, saying, "Am I ultimately destined to be deprived of the path to immortality...?"
Even at this point, he still longed for the path of immortality!
Luo Wenwu's face turned cold. He grabbed the Immortal Emperor, held a knife to his body, and said, "Heh, you really like the Immortal Path, don't you? Let me tell you, don't worry, you'll see the Immortal Path. After all, you're a top-tier cultivator capable of opening the Immortal Path, hahaha..."
"The blessing of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and the sacrifice of the old dragon's blood, this is the true way to open the path to immortality... Li Dao, didn't you spend your life seeking immortality? You will see immortals descend, but you will be unable to touch them. You will die in resentment, hahaha, your whole life has been nothing more than making wedding dresses for us!"
He grinned maliciously, looking at Emperor Xianxian with unbridled arrogance.
He wanted to inflict psychological pain on Emperor Xianxian and drive him mad.
Emperor Xianxian sought immortality throughout his life, but the final path to immortality was opened by Emperor Xianxian's own life and blood. He could only watch the immortals descend from afar, but could not truly touch them. What could be more painful than this?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xianxian was stunned for a moment, and then countless emotions of sorrow, self-pity, resentment, and unwillingness welled up in his eyes...
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is... You also want the path to immortality, no wonder, no wonder!"
Emperor Xianxian finally understood why Li Guan couldn't help but take action at this time, even though he was about to abdicate... because Li Guan also wanted to use the Qingtian Grand Ceremony to open up the legendary Immortal Path!
Moreover, Li Guan... actually intends to use him as a sacrifice!
Thinking of this, Emperor Xianxian finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, but his laughter was full of sorrow and self-mockery!
He spent his life scheming, disregarding the people of the world in his pursuit of immortality. He amassed all sorts of rare and precious items, sparing no expense. Little did he know that in the end, he himself would be the most important "cost"!
Hearing Emperor Xianxian's sorrowful laughter, the courtiers couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Li Guan, however, sneered, completely disregarding Emperor Xianxian. Instead, he turned around, surveyed the entire scene, and slowly savored the taste of power and victory.
He had waited too long for this moment.
The courtiers knelt in worship, their cheers thundering like a tidal wave. Now, the world was within his grasp, and he was about to stand at the pinnacle of power.
That's not all!
He will fulfill his father's lifelong dream, and the path to immortality will begin today. He is about to inherit a great era, and he will tread the path to eternal life on his father's corpse...
Soon, his gaze fell on Lin Zheng, Lin Ruobing, and Li Lan, and a look of disgust and hatred immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Lin Zheng, I have now ascended to the throne. Kneel down, bow before me, and offer up your two daughters, and I may spare your life!"
He stared at Lin Zheng, looking down at him as if giving a command.
Lin Zheng remained calm, looking at Li Guan and saying, "You rebellious traitor, a madman who murdered his father and emperor, dare to call yourself 'I'? You're not worthy to rule the world?"
Lin Zheng had fought countless battles throughout his life; what kind of perilous scenes hadn't he witnessed? How could he possibly fear death?
He was just a little disappointed that things didn't go as planned. He had gone to great lengths to pave the way for his two daughters, but now he was going to die here.
"How dare you, you traitor, disrespect the Emperor! You deserve to die!"
A guard nearby roared angrily and slashed at him with his sword.
-- Li Guan had made preparations in advance, so most of the people he brought up the mountain today were ordinary people who had no martial arts skills but were strong and healthy, and were therefore unaffected by the poison.
At that moment, just as the guard's blade was about to strike Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng suddenly twisted his body and grabbed the guard's blade. He tripped the guard, who fell to the ground, and Lin Zheng seized the blade and killed the guard with a single blow!
Upon seeing this, everyone in the arena was shocked. They had never expected that Lin Zheng could still launch such a counterattack after losing his martial arts skills!
"Very good, very good! You truly deserve to be the number one general of our Great Li!"
Li Guan's face darkened. "Take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two top-tier experts gracefully landed beside him from the altar and approached Lin Zheng.
"Don't kill him! Break his arms and legs, pierce his collarbone! Heh heh, I'm going to lock him and Li Lan up and raise them like dogs, so they can watch with their own eyes how I toy with his wife and daughter... Hahaha!"
Li Guan grinned maliciously!
Two top-tier experts immediately pounced on Lin Zheng!
"father!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Zheng remained unmoved, while Lin Ruobing was extremely anxious.
She knew that her father, Ning Gangbu, would most likely die in battle...
And then she heard a soft sigh, and her delicate hand was gently pulled. Immediately afterwards, a strange energy entered her body!
As this energy entered her body, her internal energy, which she had tried repeatedly to mobilize but could not, suddenly surged forth as if breaking free from the shackles of the toxins!
She was taken aback and turned to look, only to see Li Lan smiling slightly at her, saying, "I'm so grateful to you for saving my life, Madam."
Countless questions flashed through Lin Ruobing's mind, but she had no time to ask them now, because the two top-tier experts had already pounced on Lin Zheng, and she moved as well—
Boom!
Suddenly, two muffled thuds were heard, and two figures flew backward, crashing heavily at Li Guan's feet!
Lin Zheng had just raised his knife when he was stunned for a moment. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his daughter was already standing in front of him!
In just one exchange, she had already severely injured two top-tier experts!
"what?!"
"Lin Ruoxue... she can still fight?"
"How is this possible!"
Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the room was immediately horrified!
"impossible!"
Beside Li Guan, Mr. Zhu blurted out, his eyes wide with disbelief. He had also drunk the clean water from the mountain, so he was naturally poisoned as well. He knew very well just how terrifying this poison was.
No matter how powerful a martial artist is, once poisoned, they are reduced to a cripple, at the mercy of others.
But how did Lin Ruoxue manage to do that?
Not only him, but everyone was puzzled.
"Could this be the number one martial arts talent among the younger generation in this era?"
"A prodigy... she truly lives up to her name. Has she fully recovered her combat power?"
"What... happened?!"
Everyone else was deeply shocked.
The name Lin Ruoxue is a mountain weighing on the hearts of martial artists worldwide.
But since she got married and retired from the martial arts world, many people have forgotten the pressure she brought. Now, when all the heroes are helpless and at their wits' end, she still manages to step forward...
He can easily defeat two top-tier masters!
"What……"
Li Guan, his eyes wide with disbelief, instinctively stepped back and hurriedly cried out, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
He also harbored fear towards Lin Ruoxue.
In an instant, more than a dozen experts on the altar rushed towards Lin Ruoxue!
"What a fine young girl! Today, I'll see just how talented she is!"
Luo Wenwu made the first move. He was already a top-tier martial artist, but now, facing Lin Ruoxue, he dared not be careless at all and exerted all his strength, unleashing a terrifying gale.
"Go all out, kill her together, don't hold back!"
Mr. Zhu exclaimed!
Among this group of assassins, there are two top-tier experts, and the rest are all first-tier. No matter how strong Lin Ruoxue is, she has not broken through the legendary barrier of the Grandmaster. There is a chance to kill her.
But Lin Ruobing was not afraid at all. She used her slender hands to strike out one after another. It was the Snowflake Divine Palm created by her sister back then. The palm technique was like snowflakes falling, beautiful and graceful. Wherever the palm force reached, screams of pain suddenly rang out!
"what!"
"No!"
"puff!"
As soon as Luo Wenwu and the others exchanged blows with her, they were all sent flying, falling more than ten steps away, spitting blood and convulsing, seemingly having lost their fighting ability!
"How is this possible!"
"Lin Ruoxue... has she become a Grandmaster?!"
"How can she be so strong!"
Everyone in the room was horrified.
Luo Wenwu and others are truly top-tier masters, so how could they not even withstand a single palm strike from Lin Ruoxue?
Is Lin Ruoxue really that terrifying?
Even Lin Ruobing herself frowned slightly.
But the next moment, Luo Wenwu shouted, "No... impossible! When did we get poisoned by the Nine-Medicine Breaking Yuan Powder?!"
His voice trembled; he was utterly incredulous!
These words caused an uproar throughout the room!
