At this moment, the entire lobby fell into deathly silence, except for Li Jiuye's cries that lingered for a long time.
The dignified "Prince Yi", the emperor's second son, died at the hands of Zhong Wen in such an understatement!
Shangguan Mingyue hated Li Rong so much that she was shocked when she suddenly saw such a change and covered her lips with her hands.
Li Yiru, who had such a gentle temperament, exclaimed in surprise and turned pale.
"You, you killed him!" Li Jiuye shouted sternly, "You actually killed my son!"
Master Jiu never expected that Prince Yi would die so easily under his strict protection. He was shocked, ashamed, angry... all kinds of emotions came to him. In the moment of anger, he actually forgot about the relationship between himself and Zhong Wen. Due to the difference in strength, he raised his right arm suddenly and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
"Sword, wine and joy!"
A wine arrow spurted out from his mouth, and water droplets all over the sky gathered around the long sword, transforming into thumb-sized wine gourds, each one small, exquisite, and crystal clear.
Countless small gourds whirled and danced around the iron sword, exuding a fierce momentum and heading straight for Zhong Wen's chest.
This move of "Sword, Wine and Joy" was something he occasionally experienced after fighting against newcomers such as Zhong Wen and Li Qing one by one. The newly learned killing move can be used more freely and confidently than "The Road of Sword and Wine" , the power is also slightly better.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
However, Zhong Wen did not dodge. Instead, dazzling purple-gold light lit up around his body. Countless wine gourds released by the Wine Master fell on the surface of the spiritual pattern, making bursts of sounds like playing cotton, and then disappeared. No trace, no ripples.
What a strong defense!
Master Jiu felt a chill in his heart, but he was not discouraged. He sharply thrust the sword in his hand and stabbed Zhong Wen in the heart with precision.
"Boom!"
The sound of the long sword colliding with the body was still so weak and feeble. Master Jiu finally changed his expression, kicked his feet violently, and tried to retreat quickly to distance himself from Zhong Wen.
At this time, Zhong Wen moved.
He stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the rusty iron sword pierced on the surface of the spirit pattern.
Lord Jiu suddenly felt as if the sword had fallen into iron pincers, and he could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried. Under the excessive force, his cheeks felt like they were on fire and turned red.
"For the sake of how you once rescued me." Zhong Wen looked directly into Lord Jiu's eyes and said word by word, "If I don't kill you, get out!"
The wine master has a high status, and even though he is always dressed in rags, he is just deliberately pretending to be an expert who plays games, but in fact, deep down, he enjoys the admiration of the world.
Zhong Wen's contemptuous attitude of treating him like nothing deeply hurt his self-esteem.
I saw a fierce look in his eyes, an angry shout in his mouth, and the right hand holding the sword hilt exerted all his strength. Under the agitation of spiritual power, the torn clothes bulged like a balloon, as if they were about to burst at any time.
However, no matter how fancy he used his spiritual power, the iron sword was always firmly fixed between Zhong Wen's two fingers, as if it was welded to death, without moving at all.
"I'm so old, but I still can't think about it like this." Zhong Wen shook his head helplessly, and his fingers suddenly loosened.
Venerable Jiu had already used all his strength, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly let go. He couldn't hold back his strength for a moment. Like an arrow from a string, his whole body turned into a swift shadow in the air and flew backwards. It hit the wall with a bang, almost punching a hole in the thick wall of the hall.
Having endured his full blow with his body like this, Lord Jiu felt like stars were popping up in his eyes, his energy and blood were surging, and his bones were about to fall apart. For a while, he was unable to stand up and fight again.
Zhong Wen casually patted the corner of his clothes, turned to look at the crazy expression on Li Jiuye's face, and said lightly: "I'll kill such a bastard if I want. How do you treat him?"
"You..." Li Jiuye was at a loss for words for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "The revenge of killing your son is irreconcilable. I will never let you go!"
The dignified Emperor Qian, the leader of Lingzun, faced the murderer of his son, but he just said harsh words and did not even dare to step forward to seek revenge.
"Oh? What a coincidence." Zhong Wen grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, with an inexplicably scary expression, "I have no intention of letting you go, so why don't we just end it here!"
Before he finished speaking, an earth-shattering terrifying aura emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire lobby.
This aura was so powerful and overbearing that Li Jiuye felt his chest stagnant and his breathing was very difficult. His bones creaked. It was clear that there was no physical contact, but he felt pain all over his body. He spent ten It took only half the strength to stand firm.
"puff!"
Master Jiu finally got up, but before he could adjust his condition, he was pressed down by the surging momentum. He was caught off guard, his heart felt sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt out a blood arrow, and he collapsed to the ground again.
"thump!"
Under this pressure, Li Rong's gradually cold body actually sank two inches, causing numerous cracks to appear on the floor of the trading house.
Probably even Zhong Wen himself did not expect that he just released his aura casually, which not only overwhelmed the two spiritual masters, but also unintentionally completed a "corpse whipping".
What's amazing is that, except for these three people, the rest of the people present seemed to feel no pressure at all. They all looked calm and looked as usual, which shows that Zhong Wen's use of the technique has reached the point where he can send and receive it by his heart and control it. The state of freedom.
"You, what do you want to do?" Li Jiuye said with great difficulty, his body shaking slightly, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
"I once reminded Your Majesty that if anyone in the Daqian Empire dares to hurt my friends." Zhong Wen stared into his eyes and said word by word, "I will not care about any rules or laws. That person must pay an unimaginable and painful price, obviously you didn’t take my words to heart.”
"I, I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the Supreme Being!" Li Jiuye stepped back continuously, his lips kept trembling, and the panic in his eyes could not be concealed at all, "Don't mess around!"
"So what?" Zhong Wen took a step forward and wrote lightly, "I've even beaten a saint, so what does a mere emperor mean to me?"
"You...you..." Li Jiuye became more and more panicked, almost unable to speak completely.
"The second prince poisoned my uncle's family. Instead of dealing with it impartially, you actually aided him and tried to engulf the entire 'Shengyu Trading Company'." Zhong Wen took another step forward, "I witnessed this with my own eyes. How dare you What is there to say?”
"I...I..."
As Zhong Wen continued to approach, the emperor was finally forced into a corner with no way out. Big beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, soaking most of his face.
"Your Majesty, my Shangguan family is loyal to Da Qian." At this moment, Shangguan Tong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed and said, "Why are you treating me like this?"
"Dad, have you recovered?" Shangguan Mingyue couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Yes, I was a little confused just now, but now I am completely awake." Shangguan Tong nodded towards Zhong Wen, his eyes full of gratitude, and turned to his daughter with a gentle smile, "Yue'er, I'm sorry for you. ”
"That's good, that's good." Shangguan Mingyue murmured to herself, with mist in her beautiful eyes. The eldest lady, who has always been stubborn and strong, cried countless times during the day, and even her eyes were slightly swollen. .
"Master of the Shangguan family, I..." When Shangguan Tong questioned him, Li Jiuye was speechless and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"If you just attack Tong himself, that's fine." Shangguan Tong's voice showed a rare hint of resentment, "But you guys didn't even let Yue'er go. You are really unforgivable!"
"...I am the emperor and the emperor!"
Li Jiuye's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. His eyes kept wandering and had nowhere to rest. After a while, he seemed to be finally overwhelmed by the pressure. His tense nerves suddenly broke, and a crazy and ferocious look appeared on his face. He was hysterical. He started shouting, "You are just a despicable businessman, why should you blame me? What qualifications do you have to forgive me?"
Shangguan Tong's eyes flashed with shock, as if he didn't expect that the dignified Emperor would say such unbearable words.
"The entire Daqian belongs to me, Li Jiuye! All untouchables should obey my royal orders!" Li Jiuye screamed to himself, "You disobeyed me and instead questioned me. You are really committing the following crime and are treasonous... …”
"Are you crazy?"
Hearing Li Jiuye's crazy words during his emotional breakdown, Zhong Wen shook his head and sighed softly. He recalled the friendly scene of the two having a drink at "Qingfeng Restaurant" in his mind. He couldn't help but sigh and stretched out his right index finger. , slowly pointed towards the Daqian Emperor, "It seems it's time for a new ruler in the Daqian Empire!"
"stop!"
When Master Jiu saw this, he was shocked and turned pale. He used all his strength and pushed his body skills to the extreme. He jumped up and tried to save Li Jiuye.
"boom!"
However, just as his feet left the ground, his right cheek was suddenly hit by an unknown force. His whole body fell like a meteor, and he fell hard to the ground again, with a standard "dog eating shit" fall.
The former "No. 1 Spiritual Lord of Daqian" turned out to be like a monkey, being turned into clouds and rain by Zhong Wen, playing between his palms.
The person who took action was naturally the face-slapping maniac "Zhong Wen No. 2".
Zhong Wen's fingertips shimmered with silvery white light, and he was about to use "One Yang Finger", which ended up killing Li Jiuye, when he saw a white silhouette suddenly appeared next to him, with his arms spread out, as if guarding a baby chicken. Like a hen, Li Jiuye was firmly blocked behind him.
"Princess sister?" After seeing this person's face clearly, Zhong Wen's expression froze slightly, and the spiritual power on his fingertips dimmed a bit, "Are you going to stop me too?"
"Zhong Wen, what happened this time is that our Li family has failed the Shangguan family." Li Yiru's eyes were full of pleading for mercy. He bent his knees and fell to the ground with a "plop", begging bitterly, "I am willing to do it." A cow or a horse, a slave or a maid, I just want you to let daddy live, please!"
After saying that, her head suddenly hit the ground with a bang, and a big bruise instantly appeared on her smooth forehead.
Looking at the miserable expression on Li Yiru's pretty face, a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhong Wen's eyes, but he quickly regained his determination.
"Zhong Wen, this time I was able to escape from Prince Yi's Mansion all thanks to Yiru's efforts." Shangguan Mingyue suddenly said, "If she hadn't brought someone in, I'm afraid all three of us would have been controlled by Li Rong, and we wouldn't have been able to wait. You come to the rescue.”
"Is that so?" Zhong Wen was stunned when he heard this, and he stroked his chin and remained silent for a long time.
He arrived at the trading house almost at the same time as Li Jiuye, so he only saw the ugly behavior of the emperor and the second prince. He was not aware of what happened in Prince Yi's house earlier. Now after listening to Shangguan Mingyue's explanation, he looked at Li Yiru , I felt a little softer.
"You bitch!" Unexpectedly, Li Jiuye became furious and kicked Li Yiru who was standing in front of him. "You ate everything inside and outside. If it weren't for you, how could Rong'er have died?"
At this time, even Shen Dachui, Xue Pingxi and others around him stopped watching, and they all rebuked the emperor for his absurd and ruthless behavior.
"Stop!" Shangguan Mingyue's eyes widened in anger and she scolded in a sweet voice, "If it weren't for Yi Ru, how would you still be alive?"
"What do I have to do with a girl like you if I teach my daughter a lesson?" Li Jiuye had already fallen into madness. He kicked and beat Li Yiru for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Zhong Wen and said, "The reason why you are friends with the Shangguan family is not Is it because he has a beautiful sister? Or rather, he also has a beautiful daughter? "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shangguan Mingyue blushed and shouted loudly.
"It is natural for young people to like women." Li Jiuye ignored her and said crazily, "Yiru's beauty is not inferior to that of the Shangguan family. It would be better if I betrothed my daughter to you. From now on, you and I will work together and share the world. If that’s not enough, I’ll give you my other two daughters as well, how about that?”
"They are living people, not objects." A trace of anger flashed in Zhong Wen's eyes, "How can I allow you to give them away just as you say?"
"Women are nothing but tools for passing on the family line." Li Jiuye said very matter-of-factly, "Even the royal princess is just a tool with a noble birth. I am Yiru's father, so I naturally want to give her to whomever I want. Give it to whomever you want.”
"Father!"
Li Yiru never expected that her father, who had always loved her, would actually say these words. Unexpectedly, her delicate body trembled, her heart felt like a knife, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
With the same blood flowing from Li family, why are the differences between people so big?
Zhong Wen unconsciously compared the brothers and sisters Emperor Li Jiuye, Prince Li Yan, Prince Yi Li Rong, and Li Qing and Li Yiru, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"You and I will work together to take down the 'Shengyu Trading Company'." But Li Jiuye was still chattering, "Then the two women from the Shangguan family will also be at your disposal. How about that?"
A trace of anger flashed in Shangguan Tong's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. With his all-round temperament as a businessman, he could not restrain himself.
"Shameless!" Shangguan Mingyue's face turned red with anger. She raised the divine fire cannon without hesitation and pointed the nozzle at the Daqian Emperor.
"Which one is more worthy of joining forces, the Daqian royal family or the mere merchants?" Li Jiuye said to himself, "With your intelligence, you will definitely understand!"
"Join forces with me..." Zhong Wen was silent for a long time, then a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Are you worthy?"
His feet swayed slightly, and he didn't know how to bypass Li Yiru, and suddenly appeared in front of Emperor Li Jiuye.
"boom!"
Before Li Jiuye could react, his right hand had already been clenched into a fist and he hit the emperor hard on the face.
