Chapter 370 - 365: Certain Death
CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 365: CERTAIN DEATH
Cui and Xie Families are planning to strike against the Prince Manor.
Since Prince Qinghe was stationed in Qinghe County, there had been more than ten years of peace, with both sides remaining polite, like water from different wells that do not interfere with each other.
However, no one expected that a demon chaos would directly lead to a change in the internal structure of Qinghe County.
With the influence and strength of the Cui and Xie Families in Qinghe County, along with the power and ambition demonstrated by Prince Qinghe, one side is bound to be annihilated as they reach this point.
Yet people were somewhat puzzled as to why the Cui Family and Xie Family dared to gamble everything.
After all, Prince Qinghe represents the court, and while the local family powers in Qinghe County are strong, they are still too weak compared to the court, only wielding significant influence due to their deep roots within Qinghe County.
But truly angering the court could lead to their expulsion from Qinghe County with just an excuse.
And now, they are undoubtedly handing the court a ready excuse.
"It seems both families are indeed rebelling," An Lu said lazily, squinting his eyes, the cold light in the slit of his eyes feeling icy, as he glanced at the crowd and said, "For many years, the mighty families like the Cui and Xie have done whatever they pleased in Qinghe County. I turned a blind eye as long as the people of Qinghe County lived in peace. However, I did not expect that with the demon chaos arising, the Cui and Xie Families would defy the court for the sake of their family interests. Given this, I have no choice but to oblige."
Everyone’s hearts trembled; indeed, An Lu had no intention of giving the Cui and Xie Families any more chances and directly defined the incident.
Cui and Xie Families, rebellion.
Members of the Cui Family were also somewhat nervous. Cui Shan and others hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point. He looked up to the Ancestor, who said, "An Lu, don’t exaggerate to frighten people. I’m not defying the court, but this Demon Path. If you insist on defending the Demon Path, then you are one of them."
An Lu’s eyes squinted even smaller, Demon Path?
Where did the Cui and Xie Families get their information? The matter was seamless, no problems could have arisen. Could it have been during that battle with the Xie Family Ancestor that he noticed something?
That shouldn’t be the case.
However, no matter how it is, under the current circumstances, the only solution is to eliminate the opposition.
"Stubborn and ignorant," An Lu coldly said, "The Cui and Xie Families intend to rebel. If anyone follows them, kill without mercy. If anyone captures members of these families, the court will reward heavily."
As he finished speaking, he stepped forward fiercely into the sky. A majestic pressure swept across the vast space. At this moment, everyone looked up, and that fat body seemed to contain overwhelming power, making it even difficult for the cultivators below to breathe.
A moment later, golden light shimmered as An Lu’s body emitted a golden radiance, like the light of Buddha illuminating all directions, resembling a deity.
"Could An Shicheng’s Buddhist techniques have been taught by An Lu?" The crowd looked up, shocked at the scene before them; An Lu was skilled in Buddhist Law, far surpassing the Condensed Core Realm An Shicheng in strength.
At this moment, the resplendent golden light spread across the world, like an ancient Buddha. He raised his palm and swung it forward, a booming sound erupting from the high sky, "Today I will experience the Dharma Seal of the Cui Family."
The Cui Family is renowned for its powerful Dharma Seal, with a domineering attacking power, comparable to an excellent Sword Cultivator, extremely potent and unmatched.
Yet at this moment, An Lu attacked the Cui Family Ancestor with a Hand Seal, intending to confront him directly, and from the terrifying momentum, one could feel the immense attacking strength.
The Cui Family Ancestor’s long hair flew, his robe fluttering; under the mighty aura, he no longer faced the always smiling, fat Prince Anle, but an ancient wild beast, the ambitious Prince Qinghe.
The fat man before him was able to endure for over ten years, only to act now to clear the forces in Qinghe County, his depth of scheming was terrifying.
"Boom..." The Cui Family Ancestor stepped forward, golden radiance piercing the sky as if to break through the firmament, a towering golden War God figure appeared behind him, exuding overwhelming majesty.
At this moment, the Cui Family Ancestor’s figure seemed to grow immensely majestic, and looking up at him involuntarily inspired awe, befitting an Ancestor of a family that ruled Qinghe County for many years.
He raised his hand forward, his palm seemingly transformed into gold, a golden light shooting out explosively, unleashing a massive Dharma Seal, with explosive sounds in the air as the terrifying Hand Seal collided with the incoming giant buddha palm.
"Clang..."
A destructive golden storm swept through the sky, the terrifying power surged out, even many cultivators below were shaken into groans, their hearts filled with dread.
"The Dharma Seal of the Cui Family is just so."
An Lu’s voice resonated through the void, continuing to impose pressure as his palm slowly moved forward again, and immediately around him, giant Buddha Hand Seals appeared out of nowhere, dominating the heaven and earth in all directions.
Li Fan looked up at the aerial battle, thinking to himself that An Lu indeed hid very well, with the external impression of him being a hedonistic prince, yet his unleashed combat strength at this moment surpassed that of the Cui Family Ancestor.
On the other side, although the battle between Cold Crow Taoist and the Xie Family Ancestor seemed evenly matched, the Cold Crow Taoist appeared to be holding back, displaying ease, at least not inferior to the Xie Family Ancestor.
In this way, this battle among the four top cultivators seemed to give An Lu’s side the upper hand.
Just as he was observing and pondering, a cold shout suddenly came from the front: "This child colludes with demons, kill him."
Li Fan’s expression froze, looking forward, he saw An Shicheng staring at him intently, filled with twisted murderous intent, as if hating him to the bone.
Li Fan was a bit surprised, An Shicheng’s hatred for him was so deep, it seemed An Shicheng always concealed his strength, waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate his unparalleled brilliance.
In fact, he had partially succeeded, suppressing the Cui Family prodigy Cui Shan, letting the world know how high his talent was, and causing Qinghe County to re-evaluate this Princely Heir of the Prince Manor.
An Shicheng was proud, having restrained himself for long, he erupted in a single day, yet, he lost to him, like accumulated strength not being released was forcibly suppressed back and injured himself.
Behind him, a disciple of the Cold Crow Taoist stepped forward, eyes fixed on Li Fan, also filled with strong killing intent.
Both were defeated by Li Fan, suffering humiliation.
"The Princely Heir of the Prince Manor?" Li Fan’s eyes showed a hint of playfulness, saying, "What a pity, today will be your death day."
Not to mention what An Lu did, just by An Shicheng’s actions, he was undoubtedly bound to die, and he was determined to kill An Shicheng.
"Foolhardy," An Shicheng stared intently at Li Fan, saying, "Kill!"
