My Descendant Begged Me To Help Him Just After I Became A God - Chapter 47
Chapter 47: Slashing With A Sword, Riding the Wind
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone’s gaze fell on the sword in front of Daoist Tian Gang. Under the sunlight, the blade of the Taihang Sword reflected a cold light. Emperor Jiang Yu, Venerable Yan She, and the remaing assassins of the Sky Mansion were all terrified.
“Taihang Sword? Longqi Temple… Daoist Master Changsheng!”
When Emperor Jiang Yu heard Daoist Tian Gang’s words, his expression turned extremely ugly.
Zong Tianwu had seen the ten famous swords before and recognized the identity of the Taihang Sword. He was silent for a moment before he suddenly laughed. “Looks like we’re not dead!”
King Qin stared at the Taihang Sword and stood rooted to the ground.
Ever since he became an adult, he rarely visited Jiang Changsheng. As such, the relationship between the two of them grew further and further apart. Although he would occasionally hear about Daoist Master Changsheng’s legendary battle results, he also felt that the two of them no longer belonged to the same world. He did not want to interact too much with Daoist Master Changsheng to avoid pulling him into the vortex of power struggles.
He did not expect Daoist Master Changsheng to attack in this battle of certain death.
“Brother Changsheng…”
As soon as King Qin relaxed, his legs went weak and he half-knelt on the ground. He muttered to himself and gripped the hilt of his saber tightly with both hands.
Emperor Jiang Yu shouted angrily, “Daoist Master Changsheng, why are you interfering in my matters?”
Daoist Tian Gang, Venerable Yan Snake, and the others looked around for Jiang Changsheng, but they could not find him.
At this moment, a strong wind descended from the sky and shook the forest within a radius of thousands of feet. Everyone looked up and saw a figure descend from the sky and quickly land. The tip of his foot landed on the hilt of the Taihang Sword.
Daoist Tian Gang did not dodge, but his left hand, which was behind his waist, trembled slightly.
He looked up and met Jiang Changsheng’s gaze.
Jiang Changsheng stood on the Taihang Sword and looked down at Daoist Tian
Gang. His blue Daoist robe fluttered in the wind. He was like an immortal, his
posture high and mighty as he looked down at all living beings.
Daoist Tian Gang could not see through Jiang Changsheng, but the other party’s appearance made him feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
Emperor Jiang Yu stood behind Daoist Tian Gang and said angrily, “Daoist Master Changsheng, Longqi Temple was appointed by the late emperor. You are also my son’s master. Are you going to disobey me?”
He was very flustered because in his plan, he wanted to absorb Zong Tianwu first before dealing with Jiang Changsheng. Now that Jiang Changsheng had appeared in advance, it completely disrupted his plan.
Damn it!
This place was still a hundred miles away from the capital. Emperor Jiang Yu was afraid of being discovered by Jiang Changsheng, so he set up a killing trap in advance. He did not expect the thing he was most worried about to happen.
As expected!
Longqi Temple had the intention to rebel!
Jiang Changsheng ignored Emperor Jiang Yu and stared at Daoist Tian Gang with an indifferent gaze. “During those years, King Qin had given me many palace snacks. I have to repay this favor.”
Snacks?
Emperor Jiang Yu and the others only felt that it was ridiculous. How was that possible?!
Emperor Jiang Yu asked in a deep voice, “Daoist Tian Gang, are you confident in taking him down?”
Daoist Tian Gang was expressionless. After a moment of silence, he said, “No.” These two words made Emperor Jiang Yu’s heart sink.
Venerable Yan Snake said coldly, “Daoist Master Changsheng, do you know what force you are interfering with? It’s not just the imperial court of Great Jing. I advise you to quickly return to your Daoist temple and recite your Dao and eat your vegetarian food!”
At this moment, Jiang Changsheng raised his left hand, startling everyone.
Swoosh!
A sword flew out from the depths of the forest. It was Gui Liu’s sword. The sword sped away at an extremely fast speed. Before Venerable Yan She could react, his shoulder was pierced and he retreated continuously.
Venerable Yan She was so frightened that his eyes bulged and his liver and gallbladder felt like they were about to split. Fortunately, his vitals were not injured.
“It’s you!”
One of the assassins exclaimed, “On the day of Hong Lie’s rebellion, you saved the previous crown prince!”
As soon as he said this, Emperor Jiang Yu’s expression changed drastically.
He had suspected it before, but Jiang Changsheng had no reason to save the previous crown prince. Moreover, the personality displayed by that mysterious person was completely different from Jiang Changsheng’s, but the current situation…
Jiang Changsheng said, “Attack together. Today, other than the Emperor, everyone will die here. If you join forces, you might still have a chance of survival.”
If they attacked together, the survival reward might be even greater!
The reason why Jiang Changsheng did not instantly kill Daoist Tian Gang was because of the survival reward.
As for why he did not attack when King Qin and Zong Tianwu were in danger, it was because Zong Tianwu was enough to deal with them. However, Zong Tianwu was careless and was poisoned.
His words were emotionless, but everyone felt the aura of death.
Daoist Tian Gang looked up again, and his eyes turned golden. His aura immediately became sharp, and a terrifying gust of wind appeared under his feet, wrapping around his body like a tornado.
“Tianshan Ji Que died in your hands. If I die today, can I be buried in the Hero’s Tomb?” Daoist Tian Gang stared at Jiang Changsheng and asked in a low voice.
He had roamed the martial arts world for nearly a hundred years and his intuition was abnormally sharp. He knew that today’s battle was likely to be his end.
Jiang Changsheng said, “The leader of the Grandmasters should enter the Hero’s Tomb.”
He did not discriminate against Daoist Tian Gang. Everyone had their own standpoint and pursuit. If the five Grandmasters wanted to revive Chu, that was their choice.
Daoist Tian Gang smiled and waved his right palm.
He struck out with his palm, and the world changed color!
Golden light burst out and illuminated the world. An extremely terrifying palm wind erupted. Venerable Yan She, Zong Tianwu, and the others were so shocked that they dodged. The terrifying palm wind tore through the ground and swept up the forest. Dust rose to the sky, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
However, Jiang Changsheng, who was facing Daoist Tian Gang, was as still as a mountain. However, his robe fluttered wantonly, and the wind from his palm was blocked by his invisible spiritual energy, causing dozens of long dragons to be torn apart.
Seeing this, Daoist Tian Gang’s eyes widened and he was sweating profusely.
He knew that the other party was very strong, but he did not expect that he would not be able to shake the other party even after using his ultimate technique.
Emperor Jiang Yu was almost scared to death. He had seen Daoist Tian Gang’s strength before. The Thirteen Assassins of the Sky Mansion joined forces and were subdued by Daoist Tian Gang in less than five breaths. He was the leader of the five Grandmasters and a true martial arts powerhouse. Such an expert could not injure Daoist Master Changsheng at all.
Jiang Changsheng raised his left hand and extended his index finger, pointing it diagonally at Daoist Tiangang’s forehead, which was less than a meter away.
In an instant, Daoist Tian Gang suddenly jumped away and distanced himself from Jiang Changsheng.
At this moment, only Emperor Jiang Yu appeared in front of Jiang Changsheng and happened to meet his index finger. The terrifying killing intent made him freeze in place.
Thump!
Emperor Jiang Yu was so frightened that he knelt in front of Jiang Changsheng. His face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his hand and said, “Why are you kneeling, Your Majesty? I’ve said that I won’t kill you. I’ll only kill the rest. They can’t escape and can’t beg for mercy.”
Emperor Jiang Yu’s entire body trembled. He lowered his noble head and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Daoist Tian Gang tore off his calm disguise and said angrily, “Everyone, attack together. Since no one can escape, we can only fight to the death!”
The twelve remaining assassins and Venerable Yan She were not stupid. Jiang Changsheng’s movement technique could definitely catch up to them. If they escaped, it would be a one-on-one battle.
They roared and charged at Jiang Changsheng. Daoist Tian Gang did the same. 14 experts charged at Jiang Changsheng from different directions. The weakest was at least in the Heaven Arrival realm.
Jiang Changsheng gently landed on the ground and pulled out the Taihang Sword. His movements seemed slow, but that was only for him. In the eyes of others, he seemed to have teleported to the ground and raised his sword.
“Don’t let me down.”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice clearly entered their ears. He raised his sword and waved it, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the sky. In an instant, Sword Qi erupted like a mountain flood and swept in all directions; it was unstoppable!
King Qin and Zong Tianwu only saw Jiang Changsheng suddenly slash out endless Sword Qi. Zong Tianwu quickly arrived in front of King Qin and blocked for him, but he was surprised to find that the Sword Qi did not touch them. Deafening explosions came from all directions. Forests uprooted, mountains collapsed, and the ground slashed by Sword Qi.
Three breaths later, the Sword Qi dissipated!
Within a radius of two kilometers, everything was desolate. All the trees had been cut off, and countless flowers, grass, and wood shavings were still floating in the air. Dust rose, and from the sky, it looked like a huge circle rising from the mountains.
Daoist Tian Gang, Venerable Yan She, and the remaining twelve assassins of the Sky Mansion stood rooted to the ground, still in an attacking posture. Blood began to seep out of their bodies, and everyone spat out blood and fell to the ground without even letting out a wail.
All of them were dead!
This scene made King Qin and Zong Tianwu tremble in disbelief.
The former supreme master of the martial arts world, Zong Tianwu, only felt that his worldview had been shattered. How could there be such an expert in this world?
Jiang Changsheng put away his sword and gently blew away the grass on the blade before putting the Taihang Sword into its scabbard.
After that, he walked to Emperor Jiang Yu and helped him up.
Emperor Jiang Yu’s entire body stiffened and his face was covered in cold sweat. He was extremely afraid and did not even dare to look Jiang Changsheng in the eye. He did not have the air of an emperor at all.
Jiang Changsheng patted his dragon robe and smiled. “His Majesty is out to play today. There’s no wind or waves. It’s time to go back.”
He did not kill Emperor Jiang Yu for Jiang Ziyu’s sake. With the death of the emperor, the situation would definitely descend into chaos. Even if he summoned Jiang Ziyu back and supported him to become the emperor, the various states would definitely take the opportunity to rebel. In addition, Ancient Han, the Jin Dynasty, and the surrounding dynasties could invade at any time, and if that happened, the situation would be disastrous. Even if Jiang Changsheng personally took action and beheaded them one by one, it would still take time to subdue the martial arts world and consolidate the emperor’s power. The variables were too great.
This land was really too big!
Now that Jiang Changsheng was no longer afraid of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, even if Jiang Ziyu tipped them off and messed with them crazily, it would only help him provide with more survival rewards.
Emperor Jiang Yu looked up and forced a smile. “Daoist Master is right. I… I should return to the palace…’
He turned around and left very slowly, afraid that Jiang Changsheng would go back on his word. He looked up and the terrifying scene around him made him tremble.
After walking for a long time, only then did he dare to circulate his true qi and ride the dragon away.
Jiang Changsheng looked at King Qin, who was not far away, and said, “The Empress Dowager’s tomb is in Longqi Temple. You can come and pay your respects. ”
With a leap, he flew away on his sword and disappeared into the horizon.
Zong Tianwu was impressed by his elegance and sighed, “It’s really extraordinary to ride a sword in the air.”
King Qin’s expression was extremely complicated. He had yet to come back to his senses.
In the imperial study.
Emperor Jiang Yu’s hair was disheveled as he sat on the chair with a dull gaze. The table was filled with memorials that were placed casually.
“What? The mysterious expert who kidnapped the previous crown prince that day is Daoist Master Changsheng? Even Daoist Tian Gang and Venerable Yan She are dead…”
The expression of the Fortune Buddha was extremely ugly. He and the Misfortune Buddha were brothers. Until now, he still wanted to avenge his brother, but the enemy was so powerful that it filled him with dread.
Emperor Jiang Yu did not answer him and was still in a daze.
Fortune Buddha took a deep breath and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll go to the Mahayana Dragon Tower to ask for help now!”
He turned around and was about to leave.
“Halt!”
Emperor Jiang Yu suddenly called out to him. The Fortune Buddha stopped and looked at him in surprise.
“Don’t go… Don’t go…
Emperor Jiang Yu trembled and his voice was filled with fear.
He knew very well that once the Mahayana Dragon Tower came to support him, it would be fine if he won. If he lost, the Mahayana Dragon Tower could escape, but he could not. He would definitely die.
He did not dare to take the risk.
Jiang Changsheng was too strong. He seriously suspected that no one in the Mahayana Dragon Tower could deal with him.
He thought of Jiang Changsheng transcending the lightning tribulation and raising spirit snakes. After the late emperor got along well with him, he still endured for a few years. He suddenly felt that maybe Jiang Changsheng was the reincarnation of an immortal.
The Fortune Buddha looked at Jiang Yu in disbelief and said, “Your Majesty, are you going to endure it just like that? After today’s battle, he will definitely look down on the imperial court. As the Emperor, are you willing to lower yourself to him forever?”
“This is no longer something Your Majesty can decide. Longqi Temple will definitely be destroyed. This is the territory of the Mahayana Dragon Tower!” After saying this, the Fortune Buddha left angrily.
Emperor Jiang Yu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not get up. Today’s battle was still echoing in his mind..
