Juewushen's corpse was crushed by Li Xiu until it was too disfigured to be recognized, lying among the rocks. Therefore, the chaotic war continued, but it was clear that Juewushen's army, without anyone to command them, was increasingly in a state of collapse.
Li Xiu flew down from the sky, alarming many soldiers. He walked in silence and wherever he passed, Juewushen's army soldiers were crushed by his force field to the ground, their bodies in tatters, and the blood abnormally strong.
The scene was eerie and terrifying, but it also let the soldiers defending the city see that the black-robed man flying down from the sky belonged to which side. Dozens of brave soldiers lifted their spears and stabbed towards Li Xiu, but Li Xiu's expression remained calm. He slowly extended a palm and with the move of Buddhist Palm, he killed them all and sent dozens of corpses into deep pits.
"Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!"
After a hundred and ten soldiers died in his hands, Li Xiu's words had a deterrent effect. A few soldiers who were already terrified began to hesitate. After a short time, with no obvious results, Li Xiu continued to walk.
Despite any pleas for mercy or surrender, he killed hundreds more soldiers. He only stopped again when he reached a corner of the battlefield. In the eyes of the soldiers, Li Xiu had become a terrifying demon-like figure. All of them threw down their weapons and knelt trembling on the ground.
Some soldiers who tried to run away were also killed as a deterrent. Wherever Li Xiu went, the soldiers would all kneel down, and the members of the Tianxia Hui followed Li Xiu voluntarily.
Starting from an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, Li Xiu silently walked through most of the battlefield and reached Juewushen's corpse. He used a spear stuck in the ground to nail Juewushen's corpse to the wall.
The corpses lying in the collapsed walls were naturally ignored, but after Li Xiu deliberately nailed them to the high walls of the city, several people recognized Juewushen within a few breaths and shouted in shock. The remaining soldiers who had not yet surrendered saw that the situation was gone and looked back to see the kneeling figures who had surrendered, and then they also knelt down.
Wuming tightly held the Hero Sword stained with fresh blood and looked at the black-robed figure floating in mid-air, who was looked up to by tens of thousands of people, and couldn't help but deeply sigh. The change of dynasty was inevitable, but he had played a role in it...
After Juewushen occupied the imperial city, all the generals and officials who firmly supported the original imperial family had all been killed, so Li Xiu saved a lot of energy. However, within a few days, he completely took control of the imperial city.
After that, in just a few months, Li Xiu also subdued the other half of the empire that was not under the control of the Tianxia Hui. The only thing he did was kill some stubborn ones and reward some wise ones, and the rest of the things were naturally simple.
After that, to everyone's surprise, before Li Xiu had even settled the empire or declared himself emperor, he mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers for an unknown reason. Even Wuming tried to advise Li Xiu not to start a war before the empire was stable, as it could easily lead to chaos and bloodshed.
However, Li Xiu paid no attention, after all, what use was this empire if he couldn't get the Dragon Orb and increase his strength again.
After devouring Phoenix Blood, Li Xiu led his soldiers to empty out a large mountain across the sea from Dragon Island, hiding hundreds of thousands of soldiers inside the mountain and setting up numerous powerful traps, all in preparation for luring the dragon.
Standing in the air, Li Xiu looked once more at the direction indicated by his compass of desire, and after confirming that the dragon should be in the deep gorge of Dragon Island, he put away the compass and flew quickly towards the gorge.
After flying into the deep gorge, all that could be seen were bones everywhere, both human and animal, and the scene was terrifying. Of course, the most striking thing was a dragon that was nearly one hundred yards long, lying on the ground as if in a deep sleep, making a snoring sound like a series of thunderclaps.
Dragons have always been legendary auspicious beasts, possessing the characteristics of the qilin and the kylin, soaring in the spring wind and diving in the autumn abyss. They have antlers like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, and scales like fish... their shape is similar in nine ways.
The giant beast in front of Li Xiu, except for a small detail, is almost perfectly in line with the description of a dragon, just like a fire qilin, there is no way to connect it with the word "auspicious beast".
Li Xiu silently looked for a while, getting rid of his curiosity, took off the dragon vein from his back, and then raised his hand to shoot a fierce flame towards the dragon's head. After swallowing the Phoenix's blood, Li Xiu's body now could attack with his fire outside his body.
The Evil Dragon was immediately awakened and let out a loud snort, opening its large eyes and staring at the tiny creature that dared to provoke it. It let out an angry dragon roar that echoed throughout the valley, and swung its body to bite at Li Xiu. At the same time, a hint of confusion appeared in the dragon's eyes, wondering why it felt a familiar scent coming from this insignificant creature.
As the fierce dragon lunged towards him, its stench filling the air, Li Xiu furrowed his brows, and kicked out with his foot, sending a large piece of broken rock towards the dragon's head. Despite the strength behind the attack, the dragon's scales were harder than steel and the rock shattered without hurting the dragon in the slightest. However, it had fully enraged the dragon.
As the dragon closed in on him, only a dozen or so yards away, Li Xiu calmly looked at the dragon before shooting off into the sky and flying out of the valley.
Feeling mocked, the evil dragon flew into a rage and flew into the sky to chase after him. Both the man and the dragon left the deep valley and flew out to sea.
Although the evil dragon was able to fly, it was slower than Li Xiu. Li Xiu didn't speed up, he just kept a distance from it.
Suddenly, a sea current rose and hit the dragon, making it pause in confusion. It had never seen another creature that could control the water like it could, and combined with the familiar scent it felt, it became curious and followed Li Xiu even more closely.
Several dozens of miles passed quickly, and the high mountain was already in sight. Li Xiu looked back at the dragon and saw that it seemed to be getting tired, after all, it was usually asleep in the deep valley during the autumn equinox and rarely flew around.
A cold glint appeared in Li Xiu's eyes as he began to activate the sea god's power within him. Gradually, a light blue water flow began to surround him. As the sea god's power he inputted increased, in the end, Li Xiu had gathered thick and thin, several yards long and short, light blue serpentine water flows around him. At the same time, the sea god's power within him had reached its limit.
Li Xiu let out a low roar, and these light blue serpents turned back and fiercely attacked the evil dragon.
The dragon's tail swayed like mountains colliding, and in an instant, several serpents broke and dissipated, appearing so fragile.
Li Xiu saw this and didn't show any signs of urgency because he never intended to control the serpents for attack. What he wanted was for the dragon to unleash its full power and scatter the serpents, so that the effort he put into summoning the corrosive and golden-ironing spiritual sea water would have a purpose.
The evil dragon let out a painful cry as white fumes rose around it. Looking back, it found that its tail scales had become full of holes, leaving only a thin layer and in some serious cases, it had even exposed fresh red flesh.
