Chapter 654: Chapter 143: Liang Will Not Yield (Part 4)
Bang, bang, bang!
Kong Qifeng and two others were struck by Innate Gang Qi, sent flying backward, bleeding from their Seven Acupoints and lying on the ground, but at the same time, the Golden Rainbow also landed on Liao Kai’s chest.
Puff!
The wound on Liao Kai’s chest burst open, his body staggered backward, retreating six full steps before stabilizing.
"It actually... actually caused an Innate Powerhouse to be seriously injured."
Witnessing this scene, the martial artists of Liang cheered loudly, while the martial artists from other countries had complex expressions; they hadn’t expected that the Liang Kingdom dared to be so bold, nor had they expected that the crazy move of Liang Kingdom would succeed.
Lingxiao Hall.
Listening to the earthshaking cheers, a satisfied expression appeared on Yu Sanghua’s old face. As a High Priest of Xiang Kingdom, he appeared in Lingxiao City due to his hatred towards these Innate Martial Artists from the Flame Dynasty.
He had gone to the Han Kingdom for Xiang Kingdom, ending up crippled in his right leg. The Galo Sect professed to confront the Nine Palaces Sect for an explanation on his behalf.
However, according to the information he gathered, not a word was mentioned when the Innate Martial Artists of the Galo Sect went to the Han Kingdom.
From that moment on, he realized that, in the eyes of these Innate Martial Artists from the Flame Dynasty, the martial artists of the Nine Kingdoms were just grass—they were ants.
As a High Priest, he had been contending openly and secretly with Liang all these years, deeply understanding Liang, and if there was one country among the Nine Kingdoms that would not yield to these sects from the Flame Dynasty, it would only be Liang.
If all Nine Kingdoms gave up resisting, ultimately the Nine Kingdoms would become a blood-sucking ground for these sects, and when they were completely drained of value, these sects would immediately abandon them.
"Being able to injure an Innate Martial Artist, these Innate Martial Artists will surely harbor fear, and we martial artists of the Nine Kingdoms have the capital to negotiate with these sects."
A smile appeared on Yu Sanghua’s face, unconcerned about the ten years of Qi Blood consumption for this cause.
These Innate Martial Artists come from different sects and are not of one accord. The Liang Kingdom may be able to kill an Innate Martial Artist with the power of the whole nation, but no one would want to be the one to be killed.
He was securing negotiation rights for Liang not just to vent his anger but more importantly for the martial artists of Xiang Kingdom. Martial artists who are enslaved can hardly advance on the Martial Path.
Like the few genius disciples of Hu Bing, they had secretly followed him to Liang.
...
"Our Liang is willing to cooperate with various sects, but must ensure the most basic rights of our Liang Kingdom’s martial artists are guaranteed."
Pei Qingming, holding a sword, slowly spoke as Liao Kai’s face showed indecision. He was only injured and hadn’t lost his combat ability, but he also knew Pei Qingming could continue to wield his sword.
The Profound Nether Sect only had him as an Innate Martial Artist. Even though these sects formed an alliance, if he were severely injured, the other sects would unhesitatingly seize the territory originally belonging to the Profound Nether Sect.
Agreeing to Liang’s request meant that as an Innate Martial Artist, he was being threatened by martial artists from a barren land, which would be an unimaginable disgrace if it got out.
"Brother Liao, do you need us to help?"
Just as Liao Kai was in a dilemma, a voice echoed, and several figures appeared on the distant horizon.
All the martial artists in Lingxiao City raised their heads to the sky, seeing four figures looking down on the world like deities, floating in mid-air.
Long-term flight is a hallmark of Innate Martial Artists.
With four more Innate Martial Artists arriving, a look of despair appeared on the faces of many martial artists in Liang.
"How did they arrive so quickly?"
In the Lingxiao Hall, Fang Funan’s face was ashen. According to their predictions, the other Innate Martial Artists would not be able to reach Liang Kingdom for several more days.
Liang, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Jing of Liang looked at the shining tridimensional map before him, showing the territory of Liang, clearly displaying Liang’s mountains and plains. At this moment, four red dots flickered at the position of Lingxiao City on the map.
"Four more Innate Martial Artists have come; Lord Kong and the others’ plans might fail."
At the borders around the map, four tombstones stood; this was Liang’s last card, the final barrier left by the Grand Ancestor for the people of Liang.
"Grand Ancestor, your descendants are unworthy..."
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Military Affairs Department... written by Lin Chen to Lord Kong. Since Lord Kong is not here, the content of the letter is of great importance, so the Military Affairs Department immediately sent it over."
...
...
Outside Lingxiao City.
Two figures rushed towards Lingxiao City, moving at such a speed that they left a trail in place.
"Liang Kingdom, daring to resist the Upper Sect, the consequence will be like this wall, destined to be destroyed."
Before they even approached the city gate, a voice rang out, and as the voice fell, the centuries-old city wall of Lingxiao City suddenly collapsed.
