0040 Why did you come here?
The Dragon Tower has set up the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
This formation is a tortoise shell.
It can draw upon the profound energy of the imperial tombs to weaken the grand formations of the imperial palace, and it also possesses invincible defense.
Even grandmasters dared not confront its power.
As for that tiny flaw, no one could possibly notice it.
Even after discovering the flaws, the great formation remained as stable as Mount Tai.
With Zhao Chuan blocking the way, everything is foolproof.
But Zhao Jing had a solution.
He brought out his proudest, yet most unsuccessful, creation: an anti-materiel sniper rifle.
In theory, this weapon could kill those born with innate abilities, but its high cost defeats its original purpose.
It is made entirely of rare and precious materials, and even the bullets are forged from blood steel.
What is Bloodsteel?
Forged from the essence and blood of a grandmaster and black iron, it is a material for a precious artifact.
A single bullet can be worth ten thousand taels of silver.
Zhao Jing went to great lengths to deal with the martial artist.
The Crown Prince once commented:
"Each launch of this item requires high-grade spirit stones, and the preparation is extremely complicated."
"It is very expensive to build and can only threaten the Innate Realm, not break through the defense of a Half-Step Grandmaster."
"Why not buy ten Divine Crossbows?"
"Impractical."
The Crown Prince's judgment was extremely accurate.
Zhao Jing developed firearms for two reasons: first, to protect himself, and second, to acquire cheap weapons to kill martial artists.
This gun, though powerful, relies entirely on the accumulation of materials, resulting in enormous waste.
How is this different from a spiritual artifact or a treasure artifact?
Not to mention that it is difficult to use and has an extremely strong recoil, which is difficult even for those at the True Essence Realm.
As a result, it could only become a collectible; he didn't even take it out last time it was in the stupa.
It came in handy today.
It can kill with a single shot from five kilometers away.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
"Your Highness, shall I?"
Bao'er looked at the giant spear and scratched her head.
Zhao Jing smiled:
"Of course not."
"Once the shots are fired, the enemy will inevitably retaliate."
Bao'er asked curiously:
"What should we do then?"
"Use your soul to pull the trigger."
"Let's fix our aim first."
The moment the attack begins, the enemy will sense something amiss and launch a counterattack.
The sniper position must be destroyed.
There's no need to take the risk.
Using his divine power, he pulled the trigger and escaped instantly.
This is called the automation of mystical arts.
Bao'er still has some questions:
"What about the sacrificial rites?"
Human shields are a problem.
Zhao Jing took out the sound conch, feeling a pang of nostalgia:
"Rely on this."
"We used slingshots to launch them, slowly."
Bao'er suddenly realized.
The man and the leopard quickly sprang into action.
Zhao Jing quickly set up his sniper rifle and adjusted his aim.
Since he condensed the holy seal, his shooting skills have greatly improved, even to the point of locking onto targets in the void, and he has never missed a shot.
If I could go back to my past life, I would definitely win all the shooting gold medals.
Compared to magical weapons, the biggest advantage of firearms and magical artifacts is that they are driven by mechanisms.
He can press down gently with his soul from a great distance.
If it's a spiritual artifact, then a treasure artifact won't work.
After setting up the slingshots, the two quickly moved to a location near the altar and set them up in the same manner.
Mystical formations often do not protect against falling leaves and flying insects, in order to conserve energy.
Ordinary parabolic projections are naturally ignored by the large formation.
After making preparations, the two moved to lie in hiding again.
Even if we fail, the losses will not be unacceptable.
Zhao Jing calculated the time and waited patiently for the right opportunity.
It would be best if Zhao Chuan moved it himself.
Unfortunately, the enemy wasn't stupid.
Zhao Jing finished his plan.
On the altar, Zhao Chuan suddenly felt uneasy:
"Master Long, shall we continue?"
"What if the Grand Master of Ceremonies or the tomb keepers discover it?"
"Isn't this terrible?"
He was of mortal birth, and lived a life of luxury, enjoying the privileges of a royal grandson.
These days, I spend a day with the corpse and a day performing rituals; it's exhausting and frightening.
Beneath the [Dragon-Locking Stone] in front of Zhao Chuan lies Master Longlou.
He can only use earth-based escape techniques; otherwise, he will be killed by profound energy.
Upon hearing this, Master Longlou chuckled.
"Don't worry, young man. Once this grand formation is complete, it will be unparalleled in the world."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, Young Master Yuwen bestowed upon me the Gang Jade, which helped me become a Grandmaster."
"Let alone a grandmaster, even if a great grandmaster himself comes, we have nothing to fear."
"The tomb keepers on Longevity Hill won't cause any trouble."
"As for the Grand Master of Ceremonies, it's not appropriate for him to intervene in the infighting within the royal family."
Zhao Chuan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised:
Is this really true?
Longlou smugly hummed:
"That's natural."
"The Yuwen family wielded immense power in the court and possessed wealth comparable to that of a nation."
"You have the blood of the Yuwen people. This time you have made meritorious contributions and have been removed from the Zhao family. You are no longer a member of the Zhao family."
"Once the eldest princess ascends the throne, you will change your surname, be included in the Yuwen family genealogy, and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"Isn't that wonderful!"
Zhao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, yes, yes.
My surname isn't Zhao, it's Yuwen!
In any case, no one in the Crown Prince's residence has ever treated me as the heir.
My aunt didn't even bother using me as a figurehead to dismantle the princeling faction.
Because they simply don't acknowledge it.
Despite this, Zhao Chuan felt a surge of anger.
Some even gritted their teeth in anger.
Forget about the older brother.
[My second brother is only human, so why does he get ten times better treatment than me and act all high and mighty in front of me?]
My father always thinks of him first when he has something good, never of me.
It's a world of difference.
Even though Zhao Chuan was enjoying the standard privileges of a royal grandson, there was no mistreatment involved.
However, Zhao Jing was far beyond the expected standard.
The cost of simply buying the cheetah family is astronomical.
Ordinary imperial grandsons wouldn't have that kind of money.
People are not worried about poverty, but about inequality.
Zhao Chuan is not jealous of Zhao Wei.
Because the elder brother is the sun, an unparalleled genius, while Zhao Jing is of the same kind.
My neighbor got rich, which is much more hateful than the richest man in the distance.
Even if Zhao Jing is a good student and the Imperial Academy keeps praising him, what good is it?
Ordinary bones are just ordinary bones.
Therefore, he was jealous and even resentful.
Now everyone is dead.
Only Zhao Chuan survived.
Before the altar, he couldn't help but want to roar:
See? I won.
Second brother, I won.
Why isn't there the happiness I imagined?
Although Zhao Chuan had not seen Zhao Jing's body, he believed that Zhao Jing was undoubtedly dead.
There was no way to survive such a coup.
Zhao Chuan continued the sacrificial ceremony, calling out to his ancestors.
However, his mind was somewhat twisted, and his face twitched as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.
How he longed to shout:
"Second Brother..."
"Zhao Chuan, kneel down!"
The time was right. Zhao Jing pulled the trigger, and the sound conch shot out.
The conch shells flew like birds returning to the forest, posing no threat whatsoever.
boom!
The sound explodes the instant the conch shell touches the array.
"Zhao Chuan, kneel down!"
These words were like a nightmare, making Zhao Chuan tremble all over.
Second brother!
he came!
Despite his jealousy of Zhao Jing, Zhao Chuan was also filled with awe.
Childhood trauma instantly overwhelmed me.
His legs suddenly went weak.
With a thud, he knelt down on the ground.
"Who is it!"
Long Lou instantly released his divine sense, a powerful divine sense that was about to sweep across the entire formation.
boom!
The giant spear roared!
There it is!
The Dragon Tower instantly locked onto its target and activated its grand formation to counterattack.
A mysterious azure dragon descended from the sky.
Boom!
The sniper rifle was reduced to ashes.
The surrounding trees and hills were completely leveled.
But the bullet had already left the barrel!
The route is precisely the Achilles' heel of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
Even Longlou didn't notice.
boom!
Blood Steel Bullet, piercing through the Dragon Lock Stone.
It moved one step.
A single step can mean life or death.
How would the enemy know the timing of the convergence of Xuan forces?
How could the enemy know that the Dragon-Locking Stone was their weakness?
Long Lou's mind went blank.
The formation has been broken.
The profound power of the imperial family throughout the ages poured forth.
what! ! ! !
A master tomb raider, a newly promoted grandmaster.
Long Lou died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
In the Imperial Palace of Yujing, Emperor Hongjing suddenly felt a tremendous power descend upon him.
Once the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation was broken, the power of our ancestors surged forth.
It's back, everything is back.
I can still fight.
Emperor Hongjing was sitting on the dragon throne, waiting for the moment when the red sun would set.
Who knew the road would take such a dramatic turn?
The power of our ancestral spirits.
coming.
May our ancestors bless us!
Above the grand formation of the imperial palace, the five-clawed golden dragon, which had been imprisoned, suddenly broke free from its restraints.
A golden dragon has appeared!
The soldiers of Xuanwu Army all paled in shock:
"A dragon! A golden dragon has appeared!"
"not good!"
"Quickly, move back a bit!"
The entire capital city of Yujing is ablaze, and the Imperial Guards are doing their utmost to suppress the rebels.
Who could have imagined that bad news would come one after another?
The princess felt a pang of fear, as if something precious had been taken away.
Then the golden dragon appeared, further disrupting her plans.
Faced with this chaotic situation, the eldest princess maintained the military formation, holding the Heavenly Phoenix Spear, and loudly rebuked:
"Don't panic."
"Follow me!"
If that doesn't work, then kill the emperor.
She directly mobilized the army formation, condensing a golden celestial phoenix.
A golden phoenix clashes with a five-clawed golden dragon.
Dragon and Phoenix Cry Together!
Boom!
She is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.
Grandmasters from the Xuanwu Army and the Xiliang Army arrived to provide support, bestowing their power upon the Princess.
She transformed into a celestial phoenix all by herself.
Golden flames enveloped his entire body at that moment, as he forcefully confronted the five-clawed golden dragon.
puff!
The princess felt her blood rush to her head, but she forced herself to swallow it.
We must not show any weakness.
Emperor Hongjing was furious:
"You unfilial daughter."
The eldest princess understood that she could not show weakness to Emperor Hongjing, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and coldly said:
"Father, I don't want to kill you."
"Please take care of yourself."
"Soldiers, help me!"
"Victory is just around the corner."
The eldest princess stepped forward, suppressing Emperor Hongjing's imposing aura and inspiring the soldiers to advance without hesitation.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Despite the chaos in Yujing, the Xuanwu Army brought by the Princess was a true elite force.
They were simply afraid of the power of the terrestrial deities, and their army quickly stabilized after the princess stepped forward.
This!
Emperor Hongjing's breath suddenly weakened.
……
High in the sky, the Prince of Zhenbei frowned:
"What happened?"
"Did Yuwen Yi fail?"
"Should we get other grandmasters to help?"
Once the terrestrial deities join the battle, the coup will inevitably cause turmoil.
Yuwen Huan separated his true form as a Qilin and sealed off the red sun.
Upon seeing the five-clawed golden dragon appear in the world, he merely offered a brief comment:
"Don't panic, the juniors will handle it."
"Yi'er still needs to conserve her strength to deal with Liu Chengxi."
"The rising sun is a thorny issue; one must not be distracted."
"It's about to explode. Once we get through this, we'll be able to focus on solving all the problems."
Princess Alliance also has a reserve team.
These people were all waiting, in case Liu Chengxi came back.
In battle, sometimes it's all about who has more reserves.
Even if Yujing is in chaos, Yuwen Huan will never disrupt his plans.
Once the Red Sun problem is solved, Yuwen Huan will be able to suppress all enemies.
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhenbei nodded:
"Indeed, the younger generation is formidable."
"It's crucial to keep the sun down."
Thump, thump!
The red sun seemed to sense the change in the situation and suddenly expanded.
……
The red sun in the sky became even brighter.
But Zhao Jing had no time to care; he went to Zhao Chuan's side.
Zhao Chuan was shocked:
"Second Brother!"
Zhao Chuan tried to get up, but couldn't move.
Is it fear, or terror?
Zhao Chuan opened his mouth and called out again:
"Second brother, I..."
Zhao Jing's tone was very calm:
Why did you come here?
