Chapter 1851
"presumptuous!"
Lu Zhiyuan glared: "We are both at the Grand Master level, but I don't believe that my decades of accumulation can't compare to a young boy like you!"
"Since Third Uncle is so stubborn, don't blame me for being disrespectful, please!"
Dustin stretched out one hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Look at the knife!"
Lu Zhiyuan didn't waste any time. He stepped forward and launched a fierce attack.
Lu Zhiyuan's sword skills are very fast and extremely fierce. His swords are deadly and they all go towards the vital points.
Although there are no very flashy moves, they are extremely practical and have basically no flaws.
Lu Zhiyuan was already gifted, coupled with years of honing on the battlefield and the fusion of various exquisite sword skills.
Now, he can be said to have gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, abandoned all shortcomings, and created a set of unique sword techniques of his own.
This set of sword techniques focuses on quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness.
Kill enemies quickly, attack accurately, and have fierce sword skills, making you unstoppable.
Once used, thousands of troops and horses must avoid its sharp edge.
Faced with
Lu Zhiyuan's powerful offensive,
Dustin's figure flashed continuously, like falling leaves in the wind, erratic and elusive.
The two of them were attacking and defending, and they were fighting back and forth. It was hard to tell who was better.
The people around were watching intently and in astonishment. In order to avoid hurting innocent people, everyone distanced themselves, leaving enough space for
Dustin and
Lu Zhiyuan to perform.
After all, these two are powerful men at the Grand Master level.
Every blow has the power to crack mountains and crack rocks. Let alone a direct confrontation, even if it is just the aftermath of the battle, it can easily kill someone.
"I didn't expect that
Lu Zhiyuan is so strong. He is already a martial arts master. Coupled with his rich combat experience,
Logan may not be able to get any advantages."
Li Yishuang squinted her eyes and stared at the battlefield ahead.
With her eyesight, she could barely tell who was who, but she couldn't see clearly the movements of the two because they were too fast.
"
Lu Zhiyuan, this thief, really hides his secrets. Ten years ago, he was on par with us. I didn't expect that ten years later, he would have grown to such a terrifying level."
Zhang Ao frowned slightly.
In the past two years, he barely managed to break through to the level of martial arts master.
But
Lu Zhiyuan was already a great master, and there was a huge difference between the two.
"If you can sit in the position of a hussar general, how can you be an ordinary person?"
Wen Shun said calmly: "Besides, few of the
Rhys Family's bloodline are useless. Compared to
Lu Zhiyuan, His Royal Highness is the real monster."
"That's right!"
Zhou Bo nodded in agreement: "No matter how talented
Lu Zhiyuan is, he is already in his forties. It is acceptable to become a grand master. But His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is only in his twenties. He has such strength at such a young age. Looking at the entire world, they are all unique."
"Hehe...it seems to make sense."
Hearing this,
Zhang Ao couldn't help but grin.
Although
Lu Zhiyuan is extremely talented, he is still far inferior to a peerless genius like His Royal Highness.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne,
West Lucozia will definitely be even more glorious in the future.
"Don't be too happy too early. Although
Logan's martial arts talent is higher than that of
Lu Zhiyuan, he is still young after all. There is a gap of more than twenty years between the two sides. Whether it is strength or combat experience,
Lu Zhiyuan is stronger, so today Whether
Logan can win this battle is still unknown."
Li Yishuang said seriously.
Out of consideration for the interests of the palace, she naturally hoped that
Logan Rhys would win.
But judging from the situation at hand, it is obvious that
Lu Zhiyuan is superior.
Chapter 1852
"The princess is right. Even though His Royal Highness is powerful, he is still too young after all. Facing an old fox like
Lu Zhiyuan, the chance of winning is not high."
Zhang Ao said thoughtfully.
Logan Rhys is a genius, but
Lu Zhiyuan is not an ordinary person. After practicing for more than twenty years, the gap is very terrifying.
So it’s still unclear who will win in the end.
"I have a different view."
Wen Shun spoke again.
"
Marquis Wen, do you think His Royal Highness has a higher chance of winning?"
Zhou Bo asked tentatively.
"Yes."
Wen Shun nodded: "Your Majesty is well-strategized and resourceful. If you can agree to this competition, you are confident enough to win. We should trust Your Majesty's judgment."
"Having said that, there are too many changes in a military duel, especially between strong men of the same level. A slight mistake can turn the tide of the battle. No one can judge the outcome until the last moment, not even the prince. Difficult."
Zhang Ao said.
"I say this not only because of the prince, but also for a more important point."
Wen Shun said.
"Oh? Which point?"
Zhang Ao raised his eyebrows.
"Have you ever heard of the
Jingshi List?"
Wen Shun suddenly asked.
"Never heard of it."
Zhang Ao shook his head.
He was very experienced in marching and fighting, but he didn't know much about things in the arena.
"I know this."
Zhou Bo suddenly interrupted: "The
Jingshi List is a list with the highest value in the world. Anyone who can be on the list is the top martial arts expert. I remember that the top three on the
Jingshi List are Long. Hushan
Zhang Xuanji, Dragon
Pavilion Master Li Yuanwu, and
West Lucozia Sword Immortal
Bai Ye."
"What? Sword Immortal Bai can only be ranked third?"
Zhang Ao's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
In his eyes, Sword Immortal
Bai Ye is not only the most powerful warrior in
West Lucozia, but also the strongest in the world.
With shocking swordsmanship, he is invincible and unstoppable.
So far, no one has been able to pass through the three swords in
Bai Ye's hands.
Such an almost god-like existence can only rank third on the world-shattering list, which is really terrifying.
"Although I dare not say that the
Jingshi List contains all the powerful people in the world, the top batch are basically included in it. It is no exaggeration to say that the top ten warriors in the
Jingshi List are the ten strongest people in the world. !"
Wen Ming said in a sonorous tone.
"Sword Immortal Bai can only rank third. The gold content of this world-shaking list is indeed frighteningly high, but why do you bring this up so seriously? Does it have anything to do with us?"
Zhang Ao was a little strange.
"I forgot to tell you, the current shocking list has been updated, and our Crown Prince happens to be ranked tenth!"
Wen Wen's words were shocking.
"What? His Royal Highness is actually a powerful person on the shocking list? Is it true?"
Zhang Ao's eyes widened.
"
Marquis Wen, are you kidding me? His Royal Highness is actually on the list?"
Zhou Bo was a little unbelievable.
Zhang Ao may not know the value of the Jingshi list, but he knows very well that it is the list that all warriors dream of, and it is the lifelong pursuit of countless people.
If the ranking on the world-shaking list is correct, doesn't it mean that His Royal Highness is the tenth most powerful person in the world?
Isn’t this too evil? !
"The world-shaking list has only been updated recently, so not many people know about it, but His Royal Highness is indeed on the list."
Wen Shun said seriously.
"If that's the case, that would be great. I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would grow to such an extent after not seeing him for ten years. It's really terrifying!"
Zhou Bo was surprised and happy.
He is now a royal protector. The stronger
Logan Rhys is, the higher his chance of winning.
If he defeats
Lu Zhiyuan and becomes the new king, he will also gain a lot of benefits.
"Wait a minute! Your Highness is on the amazing list, is
Lu Zhiyuan on the list?"
Zhang Ao suddenly asked.
Chapter 1853
"Of course not."
Wen Shun shook his head and said: "In fact, there is an unwritten rule in the
Jingshi List. Senior royal officials cannot be on the list."
"So, is
Lu Zhiyuan not on the list? Or is he not strong enough to be on the list?"
Zhang Ao asked.
"I can't be on the list, and I don't have the strength to be on the list,"
Wen Shun said.
"Then I'll be relieved."
Zhang Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
"If the Shocking Ranking is correct, then His Royal Highness must be stronger than
Lu Zhiyuan. As long as he does not underestimate the enemy, he should be able to win steadily."
Zhou Bo analyzed.
"Having said that, you still have to be careful."
Li Yishuang murmured to himself.
She felt very complicated about
Logan Rhys's excellence.
On the one hand, she hoped that
Logan Rhys would win and save the palace's face.
On the other hand, she was worried. If
Logan Rhys became king in the future, would he do the same as
Lu Zhiyuan and attack her son?
You know, her son has unconditional trust in
Logan Rhys, and even has a sense of dependence.
Once
Logan Rhys crossed the river and burned the bridge, her son died without knowing how.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
Dustin and
Lu Zhiyuan were fighting more and more fiercely.
The speed of both sides was so fast that ordinary soldiers could barely see two blurry figures intertwining with each other. From time to time, they would make an explosion and create a powerful shock wave.
"We have been fighting for so long. With the strength of the general, we should have won long ago. Why hasn't it been won yet?"
Nangong Po squinted his eyes and quietly observed the battle situation.
From the surface, it seems that
Lu Zhiyuan has always been the main attacker, while
Logan Rhys has been passively defensive.
Normally, with
Lu Zhiyuan's offensive, he would be able to defeat his opponent in three minutes. However, now that they have been having a cup of tea, there is still no winner, which is really weird.
"
Logan Rhys is also a strong man at the Grand Master level, so he is definitely not that easy to deal with. If the general wants to win, he will have to fight tooth and nail,"
Cao Liang said.
"At this point, it's impossible not to fight hard. Once defeated, the general will be in danger."
Gao Yuan shook his head.
"You two, if the general is really defeated, what are your plans?"
Nangong asked unexpectedly.
"What are your plans? Of course I will die with the general."
Cao Liang said as if he were dead.
"That's right! As the general's confidants, we should live and die together with the general."
Gao Yuan spoke righteously.
"Why are you two so confused?"
Nangong Po said meaningfully: "The general is the general, we are us, everyone has the right to survive, there is no need for us to sacrifice ourselves for others, right?"
"What do you mean by
Wu Linghou's words?"
Cao Liang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It would be best if the general can win. If not, we must be prepared to protect ourselves."
Nangong Po said in a low voice.
"Are you going to surrender?!" Gao
Liang's face darkened.
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but ants are greedy for life, let alone human beings?"
Nangong Po began to follow the temptations: "Two generals, we have climbed to where we are today with great difficulty. We will have a great life in the future and endless glory and wealth. Are you willing to die here? Besides, you won't You have to think about yourself, but also your family and friends, right? If you die, what will happen to your family? What will happen to your wife and daughter? Who will take care of them?"
"this......"
Cao Liang and
Gao Yuan looked at each other, obviously losing their initial determination.
Chapter 1854
"
General Cao, what do you think?"
Gao Yuan tentatively spoke, looking a little hesitant.
Although he belongs to
Lu Zhiyuan, he is particularly in awe of
Rufus Rhys, the king of
West Lucozia.
If
Rufus Rhys died, he could follow
Lu Zhiyuan in rebellion without hesitation.
But the problem is that if
Rufus Rhys is not dead, the situation will become completely different, and he has to weigh the consequences.
As
Nangong Po said, he doesn’t have to think about himself, but he has to think about his family and friends.
"
General Gao, it's not the last moment yet, so we can't make decisions arbitrarily. I'm more optimistic about the battle between the general and
Logan Rhys. As long as the general can win, we still have hope of making a comeback."
Cao Liang said meaningfully.
"That's right! The general has incredible skills and will definitely win. How can little
Logan Rhys be the opponent of the general?"
Gao Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"Marquis
Wu Ling, don't shake the morale of the army here. We are all in the same boat. We are all in the same boat. If there is any accident, you will not be able to survive alone."
Cao Liang beat.
"I'm just kindly reminding you that if you two don't appreciate it, forget it."
Nangong Po shrugged.
Since the two of them can't understand what he means, no matter how much they say, it's useless.
For him, survival is the most important, followed by power, wealth, and everything else can be abandoned.
While several people were talking, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
I don’t know if he was too tired from fighting, but
Lu Zhiyuan’s offensive obviously slowed down.
On the other hand,
Dustin was still lively and energetic, not affected at all.
In fact, he never used all his strength and allowed
Lu Zhiyuan to use it.
On the one hand, it is to test and test, on the other hand, it is to be on guard.
If
Lu Zhiyuan is really related to the collapse of the Dragon Protection Pavilion, then there must be people from the Dragon Protection Pavilion hidden around him.
In other words, the masters of the Dragon Protection Pavilion may be lying in ambush around them, waiting for opportunities.
Lu Zhiyuan was no threat to him, but Dragon Protection Pavilion was different.
The current Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion,
Ji Yuanzun, is ranked fifth in the world-shattering list and is far superior to him.
Once a sneak attack is launched, if he is not prepared, he is likely to be seriously injured or even die.
"Third uncle, stop it. You are no match for me. There is no point in continuing the fight."
Dustin moved around and said calmly: "You and I are both
Rhys Family members. There is no need to fight for life or death. As long as you are willing to look back, you will still be a general and you can still enjoy all the wealth."
"
Logan Rhys! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If I fall, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
Lu Zhiyuan shouted.
Throughout the ages, the struggle for the throne has always been do-or-die, and there is no third way.
In his opinion, if he failed today, he would be dead.
"Third uncle, I know that Dragon Protection Pavilion is behind the scenes. You also listened to the villain's slander and acted impulsively, so you did such a stupid thing. I can assure you that as long as you reveal the person behind the scenes, I will never care about you. It's my fault."
Dustin said seriously.
"Hmph! Do you think I will believe you?"
Lu Zhiyuan looked cold.
Although he said this, the attack movements in his hands unconsciously slowed down a bit.
"Third uncle, you should know very well that you are at the end of your rope. If you don't want to be in trouble, you have to agree to my conditions. This is your chance to make up for your mistakes."
Dustin said.
"If
Rufus Rhys told me this, I would believe it to a certain extent, but you, a young boy, why should I believe you?"
Lu Zhiyuan shouted.
"You may not believe it, but do you have any other choice?"
Dustin said calmly: "Third uncle, I am telling you this because of our relationship with relatives. If it were someone else, he would be a corpse now."
"What? Are you scaring me? Do you think you have won me? Stop dreaming!"
Lu Zhiyuan said.
Chapter 1855
"Uncle Third, my patience is limited, will you agree or not?"
Dustin's face became colder.
"You can ask me to agree to your conditions, but you must defeat me openly, otherwise there will be no negotiation!"
Lu Zhiyuan shouted.
West Lucozia Shangwu, as a general who fought out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, naturally understands the importance of strength.
As the saying goes, the strong are respected. Only when your fists are strong enough can you reason with others.
A weak person is not even qualified to reason.
"Okay! Since the third uncle insists on competing, then I will grant it to you!"
Dustin said in a sonorous tone: "I only use three swords. If Uncle San can block them all, I will admit defeat immediately!"
"Arrogant kid! Let's see how I defeat you!"
Feeling slighted,
Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but became furious, and his offensive instantly became fierce.
The sword light all over the sky swept towards
Dustin like a violent storm.
Dustin took a few steps and jumped directly from the ground to a height of 100 meters.
"The first sword, seven kills!"
After hanging in the air for two seconds,
Dustin suddenly turned around, holding the sword in one hand, head down, feet up, and stabbed down suddenly with the sword.
In an instant, the Sky Sword burst out with a large amount of black light.
The black light spread rapidly and soon formed a ten-meter-long black giant sword.
The giant sword exuded a biting cold light, as if it could swallow everything, and slashed at
Lu Zhiyuan on the ground.
"Um?"
Feeling the terrifying aura coming from the giant sword,
Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
Without any time to think about it, he immediately held the sword in both hands and used all his strength to strike hard at the black giant sword in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
A golden sword light shot out and hit the black giant sword with lightning speed.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The moment
Lu Zhiyuan's sword light came into contact with the black giant sword, it exploded and turned into a shock wave that spread out in all directions.
On the other hand, the black giant sword still had its remaining power and slashed down
Lu Zhiyuan hard.
"What?!"
Lu Zhiyuan was startled, and immediately raised his sword to block. At the same time, he activated Gang Qi to form a thick protective shield on his body, trying to block the sword forcefully.
"Boom!!"
There was a loud noise and the ground shook.
The black giant sword struck heavily on
Lu Zhiyuan's protective aura, and its powerful impact directly drove
Lu Zhiyuan's entire body into the ground.
A deep pit several meters in diameter was blasted out of the originally flat ground.
For a moment, sand and rocks were flying, and energy was splashed everywhere.
The violent shock wave, with the explosion point as the center, swept away in all directions like an overwhelming force.
Wherever they passed, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and strong winds roared, forcing the soldiers watching the battle to have no choice but to resist.
Chapter 1856
At this moment, in the hole created by the explosion.
Lu Zhiyuan was still struggling to hold on. The protective shield on his body became flickering, and cracks began to spread rapidly.
And in the sky above his head, the black giant sword trembled slightly and kept pressing down.
Lu Zhiyuan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The heavy force made his hands tremble and his knees bent.
But he had to grit his teeth and persist.
Because once the giant sword above his head is cut down, he will definitely die on the spot.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized
Dustin's strength.
It turns out that the opponent didn't use all his strength from the beginning, but now that he really used his strength, he was a little unable to resist.
"ah--!"
Feeling the threat of death,
Lu Zhiyuan let out a harsh roar.
The Gang Qi in his body spurted out like a wave, constantly reinforcing the protective shield.
However, no matter how he tried to make up for it, the cracks on the protective shield became more and more numerous.
"Damn it! Let's fight!"
Seeing that he couldn't resist,
Lu Zhiyuan roared and directly used the
Rhys Family's secret method.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and his body muscles instantly swelled.
Waves of surging energy spurted out from his limbs.
The
Rhys Family's secret method can activate the human body's potential in a short period of time, achieving the effect of increasing strength and even breaking through realms.
It is a magical skill used to save one's life and kill the enemy at a critical moment of life and death.
However, such a magical skill has a fatal flaw, that is, after the time limit expires, the body will become extremely weak.
In other words, if a person uses secret techniques, he cannot defeat the enemy within a limited time.
Then there is only one way to die!
Lu Zhiyuan never thought that he would be forced to this point.
But now, he has no choice.
In order to save life, the secret method must be activated.
"Ah~!"
"Break it for me!!"
Lu Zhiyuan suddenly roared, and a golden energy wave burst out from his chest.
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and the space vibrated.
The black giant sword hanging above his head was finally bounced away, turning into little black lights and disappearing.
And
Dustin, who merged with the human sword, also recovered his true form and floated down from the sky.
The Sky Sword in his hand was emitting light erratically, and he could strike again at any time.
"Huchi...huchi..."
Although
Lu Zhiyuan barely managed to repulse
Dustin's offensive,
Lu Zhiyuan was exhausted and panting heavily.
His whole face turned pale, he was sweating profusely, and even his legs began to move uncontrollably.
That sword strike just now was too terrifying.
If it weren't for the use of the
Rhys Family's secret method to force a breakthrough, resulting in a huge increase in strength, it might not be possible to withstand it.
"
Logan Rhys! Is this your strongest move? It seems like it's just that!"
Lu Zhiyuan gasped and taunted him with words.
"The strongest move?"
Dustin shook his head and smiled: "Third uncle, you must have misunderstood. I was just warming up. The more powerful ones are yet to come."
"What? Warm up?!"
Upon hearing this,
Lu Zhiyuan's expression froze and his eyelids twitched.
The sword strike just now almost killed him.
Is this just a warm-up? Are you kidding me?
"
Logan Rhys! I'm not scared! If you have any real skills, just use them!"
Lu Zhiyuan shouted bravely.
He didn't believe that the other party was so strong, he must be pretending on purpose.
"Okay, since Third Uncle is so interested, then I'll start getting serious."
Chapter 1857
Dustin slowly raised the
Cang Qiong Sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at
Lu Zhiyuan in front of him: "The second sword, break the army!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Dustin suddenly disappeared on the spot.
The man and his sword turned into a black light and slammed into
Lu Zhiyuan.
This sword has no aura that shakes the world, nor does it have a soul-stirring chill. There is only one thing, and that is speed.
Extremely fast!
In the blink of an eye, the black light had spread across a distance of tens of meters and appeared directly on
Lu Zhiyuan's chest.
"Um?"
Lu Zhiyuan's pupils shrank, and he had no time to react. He could only rely on his instinct to activate the protective aura.
"boom!!"
There was an explosion, and the black light hit
Lu Zhiyuan's protective shield heavily, and the terrifying energy contained in it exploded instantly.
The originally indestructible protective shield was now like glass, bursting on the spot, completely defenseless.
After the protective shield was shattered, the black light remained powerful and suddenly hit
Lu Zhiyuan's golden armor.
The armor made of Xuanjin was dented by the blast.
The powerful impact made
Lu Zhiyuan's whole body fly like a cannonball a hundred meters away and hit the stone lion at the entrance of the palace.
The stone lion, which weighed several tons, fell apart on the spot.
As for
Lu Zhiyuan, blood was spurting from his mouth and nose, his face was pale, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart. He was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
Seeing this scene, the whole place was in an uproar.
No one expected that
Dustin would be so powerful when he got serious.
Even
Lu Zhiyuan, who activated the secret technique, didn't do it, and was blown away with just two moves.
The gap in strength between the two sides is obviously not a small one.
"Oh my God! Is His Royal Highness so powerful? He is not even a match for the General of the Hussars?"
"The
Kirin son of the
Rhys Family is truly worthy of his reputation. He is truly the most talented person in the world."
"The general is really unlucky. When he met such a monster, he couldn't use common sense to figure it out."
Seeing
Lu Zhiyuan who was beaten and vomiting blood, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Lu Zhiyuan's previous invincibility in the Black Dragon Army has now been completely shattered by
Dustin.
They finally realized the terrifying talent of this
West Lucozia Crown Prince.
"Well done!"
Seeing
Dustin's victory,
Zhang Ao couldn't help laughing and looked particularly excited.
Although
Wen Wen said before that His Highness the Crown Prince has a higher winning rate, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he is somewhat uneasy.
Now that he has seen the true strength of His Royal Highness, he can be said to be in a state of admiration.
"Hmph! If you dare to fight with my brother, you are really humiliating yourself!"
Lu Tianba looked proud and proud.
"This boy's strength has really improved by leaps and bounds."
Rufus Rhys squinted his eyes and showed a satisfied smile.
"It's over, I'm completely defeated now."
Nangong Po's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Two generals, you'd better make your decision early."
Cao Liang and
Gao Yuan looked at each other, their brows furrowed, and neither of them spoke.
"Third Uncle, I still have one sword left to draw. Do you want to try again?"
Dustin stretched out his sword finger and suddenly raised it.
With just a "swish" sound, the Cangqiong Sword instantly flew to a height of 100 meters, with the tip of the sword facing down, staring at
Lu Zhiyuan on the ground.
The black light on the pitch-black sword was erratic, like a wild beast seeking to devour others.
"My third sword, called Greedy Wolf, is twice as lethal as the second sword. If you are interested, then I will let you try it."
As
Dustin said, his sword finger suddenly pressed down.
The Sky Sword, which was hundreds of meters above the ground, instantly turned into a black light and slashed down at
Lu Zhiyuan.
Wherever the black light passed, you could hear the sound of dragons roaring and tigers roaring, and the power was extremely frightening!
"Stop!"
"I give up! I give up!"
Seeing that he was about to die,
Lu Zhiyuan was so frightened that he howled repeatedly and finally lowered his head.
Chapter 1858
"Buzz~!"
Only a roar was heard.
The astonishingly powerful
Cang Qiong Sword finally settled in the sky above
Lu Zhiyuan's head.
One person and one sword, the distance is less than ten centimeters.
Lu Zhiyuan could clearly feel the cold light emanating from the sword, so much so that goosebumps appeared all over his body.
There was even more cold sweat behind me.
"receive!"
Dustin pulled back his sword finger, and the Sky Sword that was shot turned into a black light with another "swish" sound and returned to his hand.
"Third uncle, you are defeated."
Dustin said calmly.
"I didn't expect that I would be defeated by you."
Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head and looked at his hands with a sad expression, unable to accept this result.
He has been practicing martial arts very hard since he was a child, and he has never slacked off for decades.
In addition, his cultivation talent is extremely high, and he has already reached the realm of Grand Master at the age of more than 40 years old.
Looking at the entire
West Lucozia, they are all among the best.
He thought that with his strong foundation and rich combat experience, he should be able to win steadily.
However, just now,
Logan Rhys's three swords made him deeply understand that there was a huge gap in strength between the two.
Even if he tried his best and used the
Rhys Family's secret method, he could not hurt
Logan Rhys at all. Instead, he was easily defeated by the opponent.
This blow was really too big for him.
The talent he was proud of was not worth mentioning in front of
Logan Rhys.
"Third uncle, you are already very strong. Let alone
West Lucozia, even looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, there are not many people who can beat you."
Dustin said.
"Don't comfort me. If you lose, you lose. I'm not at the point where I can't afford to lose."
Lu Zhiyuan laughed at himself.
"Third uncle, the agreement between us is still valid. As long as you are willing to tell me the truth and tell me where the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion are, I promise that I will never embarrass you."
Dustin said.
Lu Zhiyuan did not speak, but looked at
Rufus Rhys.
"
Logan's words are my words."
Rufus Rhys said calmly.
"I can promise you, but you must ensure that none of my subordinates will be punished."
Lu Zhiyuan began to bargain.
"No problem, as long as the information you provide is useful, I promise not to kill them."
Dustin nodded.
"Okay! It's settled!"
Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although
Logan Rhys promised not to kill him, he knew very well that he could avoid the crime of death but could not escape the crime of living.
If you do something like this, you will either be thrown into a dark prison, or your cultivation will be abolished and you will be put under house arrest for the rest of your life.
The former is worse than death, while the latter can still enjoy his old age.
Now, he is at the end of his strength and has no room for resistance. He can only buy a better living space for himself through a few secrets in his mouth.
"Actually, your guess is correct. The people from Dragon Protection Pavilion have indeed had contact with me before."
After calming down the surging blood in his chest,
Lu Zhiyuan spoke again: "But at first, I ignored them. It was not until I saw a familiar face that I was shaken."
"Who did you see?"
Dustin asked.
"
Song Zun, the former general of the Black Dragon Army!"
Lu Zhiyuan said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"
Song Zun? Isn't he already dead?"
"Yes! General Song died ten years ago, how could he still appear in
West Lucozia?"
Chapter 1859
"Isn't this guy
Lu Zhiyuan lying?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
Even
Rufus Rhys couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
Song Zun is also a legendary figure in the Black Dragon Army.
Once upon a time, the two of them were like brothers, killing enemies together, defending their home and country, and making contributions together.
Until ten years ago, after the Forbidden City Incident,
Song Zun disappeared.
Someone found
Song Zun's burnt body and the token on his body in the fire scene.
Later, he also built a tomb for
Song Zun in the cemetery.
Unexpectedly, after many years, I heard this familiar name again. The most important thing is that the other person is still alive.
what happened?
"What? Are you surprised?"
Lu Zhiyuan grinned: "When I first met
Song Zun, I was just as surprised as you. I didn't expect that a person who had been dead for ten years would actually stand in front of me alive. So, out of curiosity, I I had a good chat with him, and guess what happened?"
At this point,
Lu Zhiyuan glanced around, and then said after losing his appetite: "Ten years later,
Song Zun will no longer be called
Song Zun. He changed his name to
Ji Yuanzun, and transformed into a new pavilion of Dragon Protection Pavilion." host."
"What?
Song Zun is actually the master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion?!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
Although there was no obvious evidence of the Forbidden City incident, many clues pointed to the mysterious organization hidden behind the imperial power, Dragon Protection Pavilion.
Because the Dragon Guard Pavilion was too large and its power spread all over the world, even the king of
West Lucozia,
Rufus Rhys, who was at the height of his power at that time, did not dare to openly start a war and could only choose to endure it.
No one expected that the former general of the Black Dragon Army would actually become the master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion.
This change of identity is really amazing.
"Continue."
Dustin said expressionlessly.
He already knew all the news about
Song Zun.
He needs to know more now.
"
Song Zun...oh no, after
Ji Yuanzun found me, he wanted to negotiate a deal with me."
"It is said that as long as I form an alliance with him, we can share the world and become the co-owner of the world."
"Of course I didn't believe it at first. I even thought there was something wrong with his brain. But in order to convince me, he vowed to support me in ascending to the throne of
West Lucozia King."
"I have been a general for so many years. To be honest, I really want to go one step further and have a taste of what it's like to be a prince."
"So I asked
Ji Yuanzun, how can he help me rise to power?"
"The plan given by
Ji Yuanzun is to assassinate the King of
West Lucozia, so that I can rise up and take the opportunity to seize the throne."
"I was very hesitant at first. Firstly, I didn't believe what he said, and secondly, I couldn't make the move. So I didn't agree directly."
"In the end, this lunatic said that he had already planned it, so he just asked me to prepare."
"Of course I don't believe he has this ability. After all, there are countless people who want to assassinate the King of
West Lucozia every year, but no one has ever succeeded."
"However, I never dreamed that within three days,
Ji Yuanzun would actually do it!"
"When I heard the news that the King of
West Lucozia was assassinated, I felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was the sadness of brotherhood, and on the other hand, it was the desire for power and status."
"I know that as long as we cooperate with
Ji Yuanzun, let alone the King of
West Lucozia, even the co-lord of the world will have a great chance."
"So, I finally couldn't resist the temptation, chose to form an alliance, and did such a stupid thing."
Having said this,
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, looking regretful.
Of course, what he regretted was not that he rebelled, but that
Rufus Rhys had not died.
Otherwise, he is already in power now.
Chapter 1860
After
Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking,
Dustin finally said: "Third uncle, we already know your experience. You were bewitched by others to do such stupid things, but I want to know more now,
Ji Yuan Where are you? Where are the remnants of Dragon Protection Pavilion hidden?"
Having said so much, it is all nonsense, without a single key point.
"To be honest, although I have cooperated with
Ji Yuanzun, I don't know his whereabouts."
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head.
"Don't know?"
Dustin frowned slightly.
After struggling for a long time, doesn’t it mean that I didn’t say anything?
"Don't worry, although I don't know
Ji Yuanzun's whereabouts, I can contact him."
Lu Zhiyuan suddenly changed the topic: "I made an agreement with
Ji Yuanzun that after the matter is completed, we will meet somewhere and discuss it together."
"Oh? Really? Where is the meeting place for you?"
Dustin's eyes narrowed.
"Are you sure you want me to say it now?"
Lu Zhiyuan glanced around and meant something.
"Come here, help Third Uncle into the house!"
Dustin shouted and immediately summoned several guards to carry the seriously injured
Lu Zhiyuan into the palace.
"
Hong Fu, you are responsible for dealing with these people outside. Remember, don't hurt your life." After
Rufus Rhys warned, he also walked into the palace.
"According to the instructions of the prince, the officers and men of the Black Dragon Army must immediately return to the fortress to guard it!"
Hong Fu said loudly.
"Yes!" All the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Army responded in unison.
At this moment, they didn't hesitate at all. They immediately organized their team and dispersed.
The reason why they followed
Lu Zhiyuan this time was because of the Marshal's Talisman.
Now that the prince is not dead, naturally the prince’s orders will take priority.
"Stop!"
At this moment,
Hong Fu's eyes suddenly focused on
Nangong Po, who was about to run away: "
Nangong Po, who told you to leave?"
"Didn't the prince say that bygones are bygones?"
Nangong Po swallowed.
"Although the prince will spare your lives, it does not mean that you can escape safely."
Hong Fu said coldly: "The crime of rebellion is enough to punish the nine tribes. The prince is merciful and does not want to commit murder again, but you will be exempted from the crime of death, but you will not be able to escape the crime of living!"
"You...what do you mean by that? I was just following orders and didn't do anything. If you want to blame, blame
Lu Zhiyuan. He ordered me to do this!"
Nangong Po tried to excuse himself.
"The general's guilt will be decided by the prince himself. As for you people, you should spend a few days in jail first."
Hong Fu waved his hand: "Come here! Arrest all these traitors and interrogate them carefully to see if they have any accomplices!"
"yes!"
A group of dragon guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded
Nangong Po and his party.
These are all
Lu Zhiyuan's trusted generals. They are very loyal to
Lu Zhiyuan. If they are not handled properly, they are likely to cause trouble again.
"
Hong Fu! You don't want to avenge yourself! Your Majesty just said that you are not allowed to hurt us!"
Nangong Pose shouted with anguish.
"That's right! We are willing to surrender, and the prince has promised not to pursue us any further. Please don't mess around!" The expressions of
Cao Liang, Gao yuan and the others changed drastically, as if they were seeing snakes and scorpions.
Who knows the name of
Tu Hongfu in
West Lucozia?
Although he is no longer fighting on the battlefield,
Hong Fu is in charge of
West Lucozia Punishment and specializes in interrogating some serious criminals.
The cruelty of its methods and the bloody process are simply frightening.
Those who fall into
Hong Fu's hands basically have no good end, and even death becomes a luxury. They are truly unable to live without dying.
So when they heard that
Hong Fu was going to be taken to jail, everyone panicked.
