Wu Zhu said coldly, "You are already the strongest human in the world."
"Your attitude determines how the world views you, Miss."
"If you don't change, then death is the only outcome."
Li Chang'an shrugged. "Since we're bound to have a battle eventually, I feel it's necessary for me to remind you."
"If you die by my hand, you may never have the chance to avenge yourself."
"Your brain has the fastest-running computer. Calculate it yourself. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to avenge your young lady first?"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Emperor Qing was greatly alarmed!
This is a reminder to Wu Zhu to kill himself first, and then fight Li Chang'an to the death!
However, with Wu Zhu's full power, he was no match for Wu Zhu.
At this time, Emperor Qing was still feigning helplessness.
"Chang'an, what are you saying?"
"I am your elder brother, and I am even planning to abdicate the throne to you!"
Li Chang'an sneered, "You've been hiding your Grandmaster level of cultivation until now, what exactly are you planning?"
"Are you planning to inject your domineering true energy into my body as well, and then overeat and kill me too?"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to pretend anymore. You're getting tired of it."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Emperor Qing felt a chill run down his spine.
Just as he was seriously injuring Ku He, Li Chang'an was also dealing with Si Gu Jian with all his might.
He probably didn't have time to figure out how to deal with the bitter herbs.
However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because the calculations in Wu Zhu's mind had already finished.
"Avenging the young lady is more important."
After he finished speaking, he almost instantly teleported to the opposite side of Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing, a Grandmaster, had no time to dodge.
Just as he was about to activate his movement technique, Wu Zhu's iron rod had already pierced Emperor Qing's heart.
Emperor Qing's pupils dilated; he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The fact that Li Chang'an and Wu Zhu had been locked in a stalemate for so long indicates that their strengths were now roughly equal.
So, Li Chang'an has been hiding his strength all along!
Now, killing him would be as effortless as killing Lin Gong back then!
Wu Zhu not only unlocked the ability of laser eyes, but his speed and strength also increased significantly.
"What...what's going on?!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Emperor Qing's mouth, his face filled with deep confusion.
His Grandmaster cultivation, which he had kept hidden all his life, was so utterly vulnerable in front of Wu Zhu's complete form!
It's important to know that the current Wu Zhu is far stronger than the Wu Zhu who ultimately killed Emperor Qing in the original novel.
Because Fan Xian did not expose the temple's true nature when he went there, the temple's hostility was not strong.
The reason the temple killed Fan Xian was because it discovered that Fan Xian was a memory that Ye Qingmei had brought out of the temple.
Unlike the original novel, the temple wanted to kill Fan Xian because Fan Xian discovered the true nature of the temple.
Therefore, the temple decided to send Wu Zhu to the human world and activate all of his functions.
Wu Zhu's methods of killing were always so simple and unpretentious.
The iron rod pierced through the heart without hesitation; whether a grandmaster or an ordinary person, death was the only outcome.
Emperor Qing attempted to draw upon all the vital energy within his body to prolong his life.
However, he knew very well that it was all in vain.
Emperor Qing had been hiding for so many years, never imagining that he would die so easily.
There was no fierce battle like with Ku He; he was easily swatted away by Wu Zhu like a fly.
Ku He, sitting at a distance, watched in shock as Emperor Qing lay on the ground convulsing.
For the first time, as a grandmaster, he felt fear.
Wu Zhu and Li Chang'an have clearly surpassed other grandmasters by a wide margin.
Not long after, the ambitious Emperor Qing died.
He kept it a secret his whole life, and when he died, no one in the world knew that he was a grandmaster.
The only ones who know are these three grandmasters atop Mount Dadong.
Wu Zhu shot straight into the air like a bullet, the iron rod in his hand pointing directly at Li Chang'an!
However, Li Chang'an's speed was actually comparable to Wu Zhu's!
Li Chang'an possessed a powerful physical body, and his Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand technique had reached a state of perfection, making it difficult for him to gain the upper hand in his battle with Wu Zhu's iron rod!
Wu Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "Humans can actually cultivate to this level!"
"Your inner energy seems inexhaustible!"
Wu Zhu retreated several feet, preparing to charge forward again.
However, Li Chang'an's sword energy was already shooting towards them from afar.
"Swoosh! Boom!"
Wu Zhu dodged, and Li Chang'an's Six Meridians Sword Qi also smashed a large hole in the top of Mount Da Dong!
Wu Zhu charged forward again, his speed increasing several times over, and he flew like a bullet!
Li Chang'an used his body to separate Wu Zhu's iron rod, and Wu Zhu grazed the edge of Da Dong Mountain!
"Boom!"
One edge of the summit of Mount Dadong was actually knocked off by Wu Zhu!
Li Chang'an clicked his tongue in amazement, "This guy is like a little steel bean; whoever he runs into will die!"
The two clashed again, and in an instant, sword energy filled the sky, leveling the summit of Mount Dadong by one zhang at a time!
The battle between Li Chang'an and Wu Zhu was the strongest fight since the civilization restarted.
Wu Zhu represents the highest combat power of the temple. In addition to the system's techniques, Li Chang'an also incorporated the ultimate moves of Ku He and Si Gu Jian.
Sand and stones flew across the summit of Mount Dadong. Kuhe, whose breathing had become slightly easier, immediately stepped onto the summit and flew down the mountain!
Because he knew he couldn't get involved in the current battle.
Moreover, he was seriously injured, and his speed and strength have slowed down considerably.
Even against a peak ninth-rank opponent, they might not be able to win.
Emperor Qing had already pushed many of Ku He's meridians to their limits, rendering Ku He unable to exert the power of a Grandmaster.
He didn't know how long he could live, but he wanted to go back to Northern Qi first. He couldn't just stay in Da Dong Mountain as cannon fodder without knowing what was going on.
On the mountainside of Da Dong Mountain, observer Jing Ni accurately spotted Grandmaster Ku He.
Fan Ruoruo held the Barrett rifle and placed it on a boulder halfway up the mountain.
They were Li Chang'an's backup plan; if a seriously injured Grandmaster were to escape, they would inevitably leave from here.
Jing Ni said with great certainty, "That bald guy should be Ku He!"
"Judging from his speed now, he's not much faster than me."
"Your Highness, it's time to act!"
At this moment, Fan Ruoruo was aiming at Kuhe, which was two miles away.
"At this distance, it definitely won't pass right through my body like it did when I fought Ye Liuyun last time!"
Barrett aimed directly at Ku He's vest, while Fan Ruoruo aimed directly at his spine!
On the steps halfway up the mountain, the Shadow Guards watched as the bitter lotus flew away into the distance.
"What a pity, that bald monk got away!"
No sooner had the Shadow Guard finished speaking than a thunderclap boomed!
"Boom!"
Just before the thunder roared, Kuhe's body exploded completely in mid-air!
The grandmaster was so badly injured that he didn't even notice the presence of the Barrett bullet!
The bullet, flying at high speed, struck Ku He squarely in the vest.
The bullet deflects and explodes the instant it is stopped by the spine!
Grandmaster Ku He was smashed into pieces without uttering a single scream or even understanding why!
Fan Ruoruo, who was watching from a distance, breathed a long sigh of relief.
