"Die!" Li Tianba shouted, his potential ignited to the limit, a tremendous battle aura bursting from his body as he charged toward Zhao Hao in the air.
"You are not worthy to fight me," Zhao Hao also unleashed his fighting spirit, shattering the crystal chariot beneath him.
"Roar~"
The nine five-clawed golden dragons, freed from their chains, let out earth-shattering roars, spread their claws, and circled Zhao Hao.
With the protection of the nine dragons, Zhao Hao looked majestic. Li Tianba's explosive fighting spirit couldn't penetrate his golden form.
"You are only worthy of being tortured and killed by me!"
Surrounded by nine golden dragons, Zhao Hao shouted, "Feel the power of the heavenly pressure." He summoned the jade seal of the empire, which grew in size hundreds of times...
It turned into a colossal seal, crashing down with the immense power to suppress gods and demons.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Under the heavenly pressure, Li Tianba's explosive fighting spirit was utterly shattered.
"What incredible power!" Even Sun Bin, Dong Zhuo, Dian Wei, and Xuzhu were shocked by the vast, infinite power contained in the jade seal.
"Boom!"
The jade seal pressed down on Li Tianba, who had been laughing wildly just moments ago. He spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on the ground, and couldn't stand for even a second before being pressed further into the ground.
The jade seal felt like the weight of the sky. Li Tianba's aura of violence vanished.
"Hiding the jade seal at home for ten years and yearning for its power every day, weren't you?" Zhao Hao, wrapped in the nine dragons, gently waved his hand, retracting the jade seal.
The bluestone on the ground shattered, leaving a large square pit. Li Tianba lay in the middle, like a dead dog.
"Li Tianba, are you happy now?" Zhao Hao smiled playfully.
"..." Li Tianba twitched, blood spilling from his mouth.
He could no longer stand.
Under the heavenly pressure, his veins and meridians were broken, and his sea of qi shattered. With the effects of the enhancement pills now gone, he was completely useless.
"Pathetic. Now who is the trash?" Zhao Hao floated back to the ground, stepping on the back of Li Tianba's head.
"You won," Li Tianba said, his face filled with despair, his fighting spirit extinguished.
Defeated, utterly defeated, the truth was undeniable.
"I know I must die, and I am willing to be beheaded by you, but after my death, please grant a burial place for my family's corpses," Li Tianba begged with his last breath.
"I don't agree," Zhao Hao said coldly, drawing the king's sword and swinging it.
"Slash!"
Li Tianba's head separated from his body and the sound of experience points rang in Zhao Hao's ears.
[Ding!]
[Li Tianba signed a national humiliation treaty with a foreign country, losing territory and shaming the nation. Such acts must be severely punished! As the emperor, you must enforce the laws of the nation! Notice, by killing Li Tianba and his entire family, you have completed the mission and earned a grand prize.]
[Ding!]
"Congratulations, you have won the magic weapon 'All Ten Directions Are Destroyed'!"
With Zhao Hao's sword swipe, he was a bit surprised. Even after killing such a significant enemy, he couldn't level up. Seeing the experience needed for the next level made him twitch again.
Upgrading to tier 2 required over a million experience points! After reaching the war king level, upgrading became much more difficult.
After slaying Li Tianba, the leader of the rebellion, Zhao Hao finally avenged his ten-year grudge. He let out a sigh of relief, then looked at the purgatory-like battlefield with an angry, hideous expression: "External enemies are hateful, but internal traitors are even worse. Violators of my territory will be punished!"
With the blessing of speed, the three major gods continued their relentless slaughter over the broken corpses.
The Three Thousand Battle Spirits never stopped.
At this point, the invading army had been reduced to less than 100,000. Terrified by the carnage, they kept retreating, leaving the imperial city in chaos. Now, the remnants just wanted to withdraw quickly, completely devoid of any will to fight.
Facing such a situation, General Zaye's face turned very grim.
Less than one-fifth of the 200,000 black-clad assassins sent by the Holy Sun Sect remained, wandering guiltily. They used to hide in the distance and throw hidden weapons. Now, they only evaded and ran away.
Sa Noko was also absent minded, panicked, and confused.
As for Li Tianba's 300,000 elite soldiers, with his death, they completely lost their morale. At this point, the three gods Dong Zhuo, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu, along with the three thousand battle spirits, continued their relentless pursuit, slaughtering the remaining soldiers...
