Xuanwu Gate is the main entrance on the north side of Daming Palace.
Thirteen years ago, Li Shimin launched a mutiny here and killed his brothers with his own hands.
Then he led his troops into the palace and forced the former emperor Li Yuan to abdicate, becoming the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Now, after many years, a catastrophe has broken out again in Xuanwu Gate!
Under the influence of the Jinghe Dragon King, the army of Yin soldiers from the underworld has invaded the palace from the Xuanwu Gate!
At the same time, the horn company in Chang'an City was on fire.
The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty deployed around the imperial city also rushed to the palace to help immediately!
The Yulin Army guarding the palace, the invincible Xuanjia Cavalry, and even the Anxi Army on an expedition to the desert are all here now!
The two armies met hand to hand in the Daming Palace, and a brutal battle between humans and ghosts broke out!
"Half a month ago, I entered the palace as an envoy of the Heavenly Court, but Li Shimin killed me in front of the court without saying a word."
"Prime Minister Wei Zheng hung my head in public, and Imperial Master Yuan Tiangang slaughtered all of us, the Jinghe River Tribe!"
"I am the Dragon King, why should I be treated so unfairly by you mortals!?"
As the initiator of the Yin soldiers' attack on the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon King of Jinghe is occupying the Xuanwu Gate Tower at this moment, accusing the Tang Dynasty of its atrocities against him.
"Chang'an City will be destroyed today! The Eastern Tang Dynasty will pay a heavy price for its arrogance!"
Amidst the mournful screams, the Jinghe River ten miles away suddenly set off a stormy wave!
Under the will of the Dragon King of Jinghe River, water waves as tall as mountain peaks rose from the river, mixed with rolling roars, and surged toward Chang'an City!
"No, this evil dragon wants to flood Chang'an!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked!
There were many people in the Tang army who practiced Taoism. At this time, they all used magic to rise into the sky, intending to stop the atrocities of the Jinghe Dragon King.
"Despicable mortals dare to go against gods!"
But the Jinghe Dragon King roared, and the rainwater flying in the sky turned into water arrows all over the sky in a moment's notice!
The dense water arrows came overwhelmingly, easily shattering everyone's armor and penetrating their flesh and blood.
For a moment, bursts of blood mist burst out in the air!
All the intruders were either killed on the spot or suffered heavy casualties.
And the roar of the Dragon King of Jinghe River became more and more crazy, and the surging water waves quickly spread over the suburbs, quickly approaching the most prosperous capital city in the world!
Seeing this, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the hall became extremely sad.
Although the Jinghe Dragon King is as humble as an ant in front of Li Shimin, to mortals, he is still an unshakable god.
But at this moment, His Majesty has no time to think about anything else, and the only person present who can turn the tide...
Everyone's eyes turned towards Tang Sanzang in unison.
"My lords, please leave this evil dragon to me!"
In this regard, Tang Sanzang did not make any excuses, but took the initiative to speak.
After all, before Li Shimin faced off against heaven, he entrusted himself with the disaster on earth.
Now that the Dragon King of Jinghe is attacking, how can he just sit idly by and ignore it?
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
An old man in white robes immediately stepped forward and said, "The Dragon King of Jinghe River led the flood to attack the city. If he does not die and the flood does not recede, please ask the holy monk to kill the dragon, otherwise the city of Chang'an will be destroyed!"
This old man is none other than the national master Yuan Tiangang that the Dragon King mentioned earlier, and he is also a practitioner.
"I understand, please rest assured, Imperial Master."
After leaving these words, Tang Sanzang immediately stepped out of the palace hall.
Buzz!
As soon as he thought about it, a piece of holy Buddha light immediately overflowed from his body, and the sound of Sanskrit sounded in the heaven and earth.
Under the Buddha's light, the resentment lingering in the palace disappeared instantly, and countless Yin soldiers couldn't help but let out bursts of mournful wails!
The will-o'-the-wisps in their eyes quietly extinguished, thick green smoke rose from their bodies, and they could not live peacefully in the Buddha's light!
"what happened?"
Upon noticing this strange phenomenon, the Dragon King of Jinghe who was controlling the flood turned around in shock.
But he saw that Tang Sanzang had come outside the palace and looked at him through the wind and rain.
"Nielong, don't be so presumptuous!"
Tang Sanzang shouted coldly, and then punched him hard!
There was a long distance between the two of them, so it stands to reason that this mediocre punch couldn't hit him.
But an extremely violent Buddha's light burst out from the center of his fist, crossing the entire Daming Palace and heading towards the Jinghe Dragon King!
puff!
In the Jinghe Dragon King's unbelievable eyes, this Buddha's light fell solidly on his face.
Half of his face was sunken in an instant, and blood mixed with broken scales flew into the air!
And he also fell heavily from the Xuanwu Gate Tower with a cry of pain!
Such a scene made all the civil and military officials in the court take a breath!
With just one punch, the Dragon King of Jinghe was severely injured on the spot.
This scholar who has high hopes from His Majesty is truly worthy of his reputation!
"All soldiers, please step back and let me save these little people!"
At this time, Tang Sanzang had arrived at the center of the palace square.
He confessed to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were fighting in a bloody battle, and then looked at the army of Yin soldiers that were swarming in from the Xuanwu Gate.
At his glance, a Buddha's light that was even brighter than before surged out of his body, sweeping across the entire Daming Palace like a torrential river!
Under the purification of Buddha's light, the screams of the Yin soldiers became even louder!
Their skeletal bodies were cracked layer by layer, their three souls and seven souls were shattered, and finally they turned into green smoke and drifted away in the wind and rain!
But in the blink of an eye, these Yin soldiers who caused great casualties to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were completely wiped out!
"The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty is really full of martial virtue!"
Seeing such a miracle, the three armies could not help but marvel in their hearts.
The Jinghe Dragon King struggled to get up, and this scene made him even more shocked!
In just one thought, this army from the underworld was destroyed by Tang Sanzang?
He couldn't help but shudder, because Tang Sanzang had already arrived and looked at him indifferently.
His eyes were extremely cold, as if he was examining a corpse.
"Prayer, you are seeking death!"
The Dragon King of Jinghe became angry with shame, but he raised his thick dragon claw and fell on Tang Sanzang's head!
Peng!
In an instant, blood and flesh splattered on the scene!
But this flying flesh and blood did not come from Tang Sanzang, but from the Jinghe Dragon King himself.
Under the raging light of Buddha, his dragon claw was shattered on the spot!
And before he even had time to react, his huge body was thrown into the air by Tang Sanzang, and then hit the ground heavily!
After a series of heavy losses, the Dragon King of Jinghe was on the verge of death. How could he still look as arrogant as before?
His back was completely broken, broken bones protruded from under his skin, and the gurgling blood dyed the palace ground red.
No one expected that the Dragon King, who was aloof in the eyes of mortals, would be unilaterally brutalized and killed!
And Tang Sanzang stepped on his face and pushed his head deep into the ground.
"Oh! It's really a trick of fate... The scripture collectors from the East who have been suppressed by the heaven for five hundred years have now become Buddhas in the physical body!"
The day of death was approaching, but the Dragon King of Jinghe let out bursts of unruly laughter.
He looked at Tang Sanzang who was stepping on his head. There was no fear of death in his eyes, only resentment.
The Dragon King of Jinghe instigated rebellion in Chang'an only because Li Shimin beheaded him.
But Tang Sanzang didn't have any sympathy for his experience.
Li Shimin didn't want to accept orders from heaven, so how could he tolerate the gods from heaven entrenched outside Chang'an City?
In this catastrophe of heaven and earth, the Dragon King of Jinghe was just a victim who had been destined for a long time.
"Nielong, you have caused harm to the world and it is unforgivable for heaven to tolerate it. I have no choice but to ask you to die again!"
Tang Sanzang snorted coldly and prepared to send him off for the last time.
"But even if you kill me, so what? The Eastern Tang Dynasty... still cannot change its fate of destruction!"
The Dragon King of Jinghe roared, and gurgling blood continued to gush from his mouth.
"What's the meaning?"
"Prayer... do you know who the god who resurrected me is?"
In response, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
He could bypass the six paths of reincarnation and bring the Dragon King of Jinghe back to life, and he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth to defeat the Tang Dynasty.
There are only a handful of such existences even in the Three Realms, and he even calls himself 'God', so his true identity...
Thinking of this, a very bad premonition came to Tang Sanzang's heart.
"You guessed it right, he is the incarnation of the Jade Emperor in the human world!"
As the blood spurted out, the Dragon King of Jinghe revealed an astonishing truth!
"Li Shimin relied on the dignity of the Human Emperor and tried to change his destiny against heaven. Now that the Jade Emperor is here in person, why does he fight, and how can the Tang Dynasty survive?"
"I may die...and you will also be doomed!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang's heart trembled suddenly.
This...how is this possible! ?
That god... is actually the incarnation of the Jade Emperor!
Boom! !
Just when Tang Sanzang was horrified, there was thunder again in the rolling black clouds in the sky!
At this time, the battle between Li Shimin and God is still going on.
I saw countless thunderbolts quickly gathering in the clouds, turning into a heavenly punishment across the entire sky!
Immediately afterwards, a painful dragon roar sounded from the clouds, and bursts of scarlet blood rain floated from the sky.
In that rain of blood, there was actually a touch of familiar aura of righteousness!
This is the blood of the Human Emperor from Li Shimin.
Li Shimin... was injured!
