Chance?
Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan looked at each other and felt each other's solemnity.
If anyone else said this, it would just be arrogant on the surface but actually meaningless and harsh.
Because Dou Tianyuan is very strong.
This kind of strength does not simply refer to the ability to kill, but is a comprehensive strength that includes survival ability, adaptability, etc.
There is no doubt that Dou Tianyuan, who has the ability to break the sky with one hand and has achieved the ninth level of golden body transformation, is unmatched in this regard.
But he was facing Emperor Yongtai.
A royal army of more than 100,000 is not a problem.
For Yan Zhong, who is also in the Golden Body Realm and has also mastered the Sky-Breaking Skill with One Hand, it is not a big problem either.
The real problem is Emperor Yongtai.
Not to mention anything else, just the Six Covenants that were about to be controlled by Emperor Yongtai were something that Dou Tianyuan and Lou Youzhi were simply unable to deal with.
With memory tampering, everything is meaningless.
As for escaping...
Dou Tianyuan bent down and laid King Qian's body flat on the ground.
King Qian’s last words were still echoing in his ears.
But he knew that running away was possible, but useless.
If Emperor Yongtai is determined not to let him go, what good will it matter even if he escapes to the horizon?
The next day, he would suddenly wake up and remember that he was Daqing's "loyal and loyal minister".
After thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way left.
Dou Tianyuan straightened up and began to look taller in temperament.
As if intentionally or unintentionally, Lou Youzhi suddenly took a step forward and spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty is thinking about the world, and I am narrow-minded and have wrongly blamed Your Majesty."
As Lou Youzhi spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed slowly: "Your humble servant, Lou Youzhi, is willing to serve Your Majesty... and govern the country for another twenty years."
Before he could finish his sentence, wisps of dark yellow mist gushed out from Lou Youzhi's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and pores all over his body.
——Crash!
The officials around were actually swept away by the mist!
Even Dou Tianyuan, a great master, couldn't help shaking his body.
"Are you crazy?!"
Dou Tianyuan's face changed drastically.
He had already recognized what the fog was.
The power of Tao!
Lou Youzhi is collapsing his own Tao seed!
The Huangting Dao Seed, which is at the ninth level of the Dharmadhatu!
“Stop! Stop now!”
Dou Tianyuan waved his hands, trying to move forward against the fog.
Unfortunately, judging from the quality of Tao seeds alone, Lou Youzhi's ninth-grade Dharmakaya is not inferior to his ninth-grade Golden Body.
No matter how strong his physical strength was, he could not advance an inch when faced with the explosive force of the collapse of an entire Tao seed.
In response to Dou Tianyuan's actions, Lou Youzhi simply ignored him.
He just stood there motionless, maintaining the posture of bowing to Emperor Yongtai with his fists clasped.
soon.
Since Lou Youzhi did not make any arrangements for the exploding power, the entire process of the Dao Seed collapse was completely completed in just a cup of tea.
Within a cup of tea, the ninth level of Dharmadhatu fell to the ninth level of body washing.
However, Emperor Yongtai on the high platform never spoke a word, but just looked down at him.
"If I know anything, I would like to ask Your Majesty..."
Lou Youzhi repeated loudly, but changed the content, "Government for another fifteen years."
It was reduced from twenty years to fifteen years.
Why?
Because when Lou Youzhi opened his mouth, he started the first step of corpse transformation.
——Burn yourself!
The collapse of the Huangting Dao Seed is only a loss of power.
Burning his body would fundamentally reduce his lifespan.
In other words, before the burning, Lou Youzhi could live for another 20 years, but after the burning, he could only live for another 15 years...
Dou Tianyuan was still confused and didn't understand why Lou Youzhi suddenly changed his words.
It was not until the air around Lou Youzhi began to distort that he fully understood what was happening.
At the same time, he also understood Lou Youzhi's plan.
"Lou Heizi..."
Dou Tianyuan uttered a few words with difficulty, his hands already clenched tightly in his sleeves.
Compared with the collapse of the Tao Seed, the process of burning the body is very fast, but the power that erupts will remain for a long time.
But this amount of power is certainly not what Lou Youzhi needs.
Unfortunately, even after his body was burned, he still didn't get what he needed.
So, he spoke again without hesitation.
"If I knew, I would be willing to govern your majesty for another ten years."
After he finished speaking, the second step of corpse transformation began: reversing the meridians!
Puff, puff, puff…
A series of subtle muffled sounds, like bubbles bursting, came from Lou Youzhi's body.
In an instant, Lou Youzhi was covered in blood.
And until this moment, what he had been waiting for finally came.
"It is very good that the elder has such a heart."
Emperor Yongtai's voice came down from the high platform, his tone extremely calm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lou Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, staggered a bit, and stood up straight.
Those officials who had returned to their positions, including Lu Zhong, could not help but sigh.
These people were able to participate in and witness the imperial grand ceremony. Apart from those who were responsible for specific matters during the ceremony, the others were all those with the highest official positions among the court officials.
Even if one is not from a noble family, one has already relied on a noble family.
Putting aside the royal family, these people can represent the entire capital.
To be honest, every one of them dislikes Lou Youzhi.
Because the period when Lou Youzhi was the Prime Minister was the time when the interests of all parties were most appropriately distributed.
Lou Youzhi has truly used his abilities to prove his level of government administration to the entire powerful class.
Now, such a capable minister was forced to abandon his cultivation and shorten his lifespan right under their noses...
The officials felt sad.
"Now, it's your turn."
Emperor Yongtai ignored everyone's reaction and looked at Dou Tianyuan with interest. "If I remember correctly, the duties of the Blood Robe Guards are to guard the emperor's carriage and patrol and arrest criminals, right?"
"Not to mention the patrols and arrests, I haven't seen the guards directly in front of the emperor for many years."
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief?"
Malice, naked malice.
Although Emperor Yongtai's tone and expression were mostly threatening and teasing.
But everyone present could clearly feel the strong malice in it.
Dou Tianyuan also felt it.
But he was not panicked.
"Your Majesty, do you know why I always wear black even though I am the commander-in-chief of the Blood Robe Guard?"
Dou Tianyuan asked a question with a laugh.
Hearing this, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The others also became curious.
In everyone's impression, Dou Tianyuan seemed to have been wearing such a black robe ever since he became famous, regardless of the time or season.
I originally thought that this was the special hobby of the 'number one master', but from what Dou Tianyuan said, it seems not to be the case?
"Actually, you're all wrong."
Dou Tianyuan tugged at the front of his shirt and said, "This is actually a blood robe, the lowest-ranking lieutenant's blood robe... but it's been stained with too much blood, and it's slowly become harder and harder to wash off, so it's turned completely black."
Blood robe?
Everyone was a little puzzled.
"I am an orphan who survived a natural disaster. My name is Mad Dog. A small flag of the Blood Robe Guard said that I have good aptitude, so he brought me back to the Blood Robe Guard and gave me a new name."
Dou Tianyuan recalled the past while narrating the story as if no one was around.
Be it officials, royal family, or Emperor Yongtai, at this moment, they all seemed to have become his foil.
"Can a small flag tell the aptitude of a six-year-old kid?"
"I have no idea ."
"Someone threatened me that Xiaoqi likes to eat human flesh."
"So I killed him first."
"Kill him with his charm."
“No one noticed.”
Dou Tianyuan laughed at himself and said, "Because that wasn't the first time I killed someone."
Six years old...
Not the first time...
Everyone's looks became complicated.
"That's it, anyway."
Dou Tianyuan shook his head. "I started as a lieutenant, and fought my way up to a small flag, then to a general flag, then to a centurion, then to a thousand-householder..."
"Kill colleagues, kill civilians, kill rebels, kill officials..."
"Anyone who threatens me or stands in my way will be killed silently by me."
"Don't doubt it. Breaking the Sky with One Hand is enough for me to kill people and destroy evidence at the same time."
"I kept killing and killing until I finally became the commander-in-chief."
"Well, the former commander-in-chief died in a Taiping Dao trap... naturally, I was the one who killed him."
"Then, I met Jiang Zhihong."
"I met King Qian."
"I met Lou Youzhi."
At this point, Dou Tianyuan's tone became more erratic, but his eyes turned red.
"Lou Youzhi told me that there are many things that do not necessarily require killing to achieve the goal."
"I believed it, and gradually I stopped killing people."
"King Qian told me that it is more interesting to make people angry than to kill them."
"So there was never a single meeting between him and me where we didn't bicker."
"Jiang Zhihong told me that only by living for others can one truly live."
"To be honest, I never quite understood this."
"...until one time."
"Lou Youzhi said that there is a person who is just like me. He has no thoughts of being loyal to the emperor or loving the people. From beginning to end, he only cares about the people he cares about."
"I'm not sure if that person is like that."
"But I really am like this..."
"The world is overturned, will humanity survive?"
"This has something to do with me!"
Dou Tianyuan laughed loudly, "I only know that Jiang Zhihong is dead, King Qian is dead, and the only one left, Lou Heizi, has become a useless person."
"so……"
"sky!!!"
"magic!!!"
"untie!!!"
"body!!!"
——Woo woo woo.
The wind suddenly rose and dark clouds hung low.
In an instant, the entire area where Qingling was located seemed to be the end of the world.
A huge figure over ten feet tall appeared in the air.
But just as he appeared, he completely disappeared.
Before anyone could get frightened or be on guard, they heard a loud bang.
A ball of red fog suddenly exploded in the air.
This is Yan Zhong.
He was also a real person who had mastered the skill of breaking the sky with one hand and was also in the golden body realm, but he was completely shattered into blood mist after just one encounter.
And this is not the end.
Because there was only blood mist in the air, the ten-foot-tall figure could not be seen.
Yan Zhong died, killed by Dou Tianyuan.
So who will be Dou Tianyuan’s next target?
Subconsciously, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the top of Qitian Terrace.
Almost at the moment they turned their heads, a series of dense explosions were heard.
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
It was not the sound of flesh exploding, but more like the sound that could only be produced by two hard objects colliding head-on.
In addition to the sounds, various lights flashed out, covering the entire top of the Qitian Terrace.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After ten full breaths, the explosions finally stopped, and the dazzling light no longer shone, revealing the situation inside.
The ten-foot-tall giant stood with his body bent, as if in an attacking posture, and was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was undoubtedly Dou Tianyuan.
But Dou Tianyuan's current state...
His flesh was torn apart, one arm was missing, and the end of his body was extremely messy. It didn't look like it had been cut or torn off, but rather like it had been beaten to this point by itself.
In comparison, Emperor Yongtai opposite him seemed much more decent.
His expression was calm and his clothes were neat.
If we ignore the huge, shrinking finger that passed through my chest...
"As expected of His Majesty, you actually have 314 Taoist instruments protecting your body."
Dou Tianyuan grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
"Unfortunately, you still pierced it."
Emperor Yongtai shook his head and immediately asked, "Why?"
"What why?"
Dou Tianyuan was stunned.
"According to my reasoning, at this moment, you should be thinking about how to save your life and endure the humiliation and bear the burden for the future, and definitely not attack me..."
Emperor Yongtai looked puzzled, "Why do you dare?"
Before he finished speaking, Lou Youzhi in the audience couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
yes.
How did Dou Tianyuan dare to attack Emperor Yongtai?
The royal families of Daqing are all similar, and basically there are few opportunities for people to take action.
But even if they don't take action, no one will question the power of the royal family.
Especially the emperor of Daqing.
You know, to become the emperor of Daqing, one must first become the crown prince, and to become the crown prince means one has excellent qualifications.
This excellence is only for the royal family, but when viewed from the whole world, it can be said to be the best of the times.
After so many years, naturally, everyone has come to understand that Emperor Qing is the strongest.
Not to mention Emperor Yongtai.
There are incarnations outside the body, demons planted in the heart of Tao, and these newly emerged strange methods of combining the inner demons with supernatural powers.
All of this shows how powerful Emperor Yongtai is.
So from the very beginning, Lou Youzhi never thought of resisting with force.
But Dou Tianyuan...
Not only did it work, it seemed to succeed?
"How dare I?"
Dou Tianyuan had shrunk to the height of a normal person at this time. He couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard this, and said with disdain and confusion: "Why don't you ask how Jiang Zhihong dared to be in Yongzhou?"
"Why don't you ask how Du Qianchuan dared to stain the Golden Palace with blood? "
"Why don't you ask, how dare the King Qian, knowing that he would die, still go on without hesitation?"
"How dare I..."
"Did you forget that I have another name?"
Dou Tianyuan grinned, with scarlet blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, making him look extremely terrifying.
"Mad dog..."
Emperor Yongtai sighed, "I never thought that what I thought was a perfect plan would be ruined by a reckless man like you."
After saying this, Emperor Yongtai glanced at the audience with some regret.
There, there are still more than one million royal family members who have not fallen.
"Well, this should be enough."
Emperor Yongtai shook his head and looked deeply at Dou Tianyuan. "You and I, the king and the subject, will see each other again later."
That's enough? See you later?
What's the meaning!
Dou Tianyuan's heart suddenly tightened.
However, before he could open his mouth to ask, Emperor Yongtai suddenly became stunned in front of him.
Just like those royal families who were tricked below.
"Inner demon?!!!"
Dou Tianyuan exclaimed in horror.
