I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 486 486. Wait and see.

486  486. Wait and see.

Yuan Kaisheng and Liu Kunyi successively met their defeat, leaving no suspense to the outcome of this battle.

Twenty thousand warriors on the Creation Immortal Boat were so stirred they boiled with excitement, their emotions surging like waves, each wishing they could join the battle immediately!

This was, after all, the decisive battle to set the New Dynasty's foundations—a standout achievement in following the dragon, assuring wealth and honor for generations.

Dong Fuxiang was so impatient that he didn't even wait for the gangway to extend before he loudly shouted,

"I'll take the lead. The centurions shall be responsible for organizing the troops to advance in a while. Brace yourselves; don't let Lord Lu look down on us!"

Having said that, he closed his helmet and leaped down from the Creation Immortal Boat.

By this time, he was ten stories above the ground. Clad in a two-ton mecha, he plummeted like a sledgehammer, making a thunderous crash upon landing.

Other Blood-Exchange Realm masters wearing mecha followed suit, jumping straight down from the Fairy Boat.

This sparked a "jumping ship" frenzy. Many cultivators with profound skills, confident in their physical resilience, dropped down like dumplings in succession.

Those below the Organ Refining Realm, mere mortals, dared not do so and could only wait eagerly.

However, they were only a step behind.

The 20,000 soldiers quickly disembarked and formed ranks, cooperating to surround the Yuan Residence completely, eliminating the remnants of the enemy and a few lucky survivors who had slipped through the net.

~~~~~~~~~

The remaining combat was very straightforward and short-lived.

With the Great Grandmaster dead, the remaining private soldiers of the Yuan clan and servants of the Yuan Residence had no will to resist; they laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The few brave souls who did resist were shredded by machine gun fire and cannons, at best only managing to leave futile scratches on the mecha.

The military methodically swept through the aftermath, with core remnants hiding in rooms and secret chambers being dragged out and executed on the spot.

As time passed, the cries of fighting and the sounds of gunfire gradually ceased.

Lu Yao picked up the Izumo Divine Soldier "Futsunomitama" and tapped it with his finger, producing three long and two short crisp knocks.

The silhouette of the little Japanese devil He Ren appeared soon after, and the two Spirit Refiners began their pleasant exchange once more.

"Emperor, sorry about this, I've killed another one of your people."

Lu Yao sized up the other, revealing a playful smile, "By the way, how should I address you? He Ren, or... Xu Fu?"

Xu Fu or He Ren, who were one and the same, said calmly at this moment,

"It's been a long time since I've heard that name. You seem to know quite a lot. Have you seen the Ancestral Dragon?"

Lu Yao chuckled, "That's right. He misses you terribly and can hardly wait to see you."

Xu Fu's lips curled up slightly, replying nonchalantly, "The Ancestral Dragon hiding in the Underground Palace doesn't dare to show his face, he must be in a bad state."

"I think he's doing alright. Why don't you come over now for a long-awaited reunion?"

The two conversed with calm expressions, each probing the other.

The situation was that both sides had their own concerns, as one does when using a long stick to beat a wolf—they feared both ends.

Interestingly enough, both believed that time was on their side and that they would have the last laugh as things developed.

Xu Fu swept his hand, cutting off the communication, and said before leaving, "Words are of no use; let's just wait and see."

~~~~~~~

Lu Yao tapped his fingers lightly on the katana, lost in thought for a while.

She didn't disturb Lu Yao and was intent on examining Yuan Kaisheng's corpse, preparing for the progression into the Jin Gold Body Realm.

However, the Divine Sword Tai'a at her waist suddenly began to tremble, unsheathing itself and pointing at the "Futsunomitama," the blade pulsing with eagerness as if ready to strike.

"Tai'a" clearly desired to cut down this Izumo Warrior katana, and Yu Yanmei was unable to hold it back...

Noticing this, Lu Yao, holding "Futsunomitama," gestured, "Come and strike then."

Yu Yanmei, reluctant to let go of Tai'a Sword, hesitated,

"Destroying such a powerful weapon for no reason is too wasteful."

"Sentient divine items have their reasons, and if Tai'a wants to do this there must be logic behind it. Besides, I really dislike these sinister Izumo weapons."

"Futsunomitama" was a soul-consuming weapon, and Lu Yao had no fondness for it whatsoever.

Seeing this, Yu Yanmei no longer restrained herself and delivered a sword strike with Tai'a.

In a critical moment of life and death, the ghostly face on "Futsunomitama" flew out on its own in an attempt to resist.

Unfortunately, it had been heavily depleted earlier and was currently oppressed by Lu Yao; it was no match for Tai'a.

A streak of sword light like flowing silk flashed by; with a crisp sound of "clang," "Futsunomitama" was split in two.

The ghastly face let out a wail, bursting apart like a punctured balloon, and ultimately the entire katana turned into a pile of dust.

Meanwhile, the Tai'a Sword trembled rapidly, its sword light flickering and swallowing uncertainly as if it was extremely excited.

Yu Yanmei spoke up, "It's very happy..."

No sooner had her voice faded than the Tai'a retracted its brilliance, appearing much gentler, no longer as aggressive as before.

Lu Yao smiled contentedly, "Good, with this it can be considered half-recognized by its master. You'll be able to wield it much more naturally."

Yu Yanmei nodded, a genuine and radiant smile spreading across her ethereal face, as if all the flowers were blooming at once, devastatingly beautiful.

While he was making his inappropriate critique, the other three girls came riding over on their Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

The battle was a complete victory, and all the girls appeared relaxed.

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks also circled Lu Yao, seeking favor, rubbing their neck feathers against him.

Li Pei's pretty face flushed with excitement, with this victory, no one could prevent the unification of the land, and she was about to become the second Empress in history!

She glanced at her lord with love and gratitude brimming in her heart, even thinking:

[I would do anything for this man!]

But Li Pei's face quickly fell because she saw someone she despised.

She saw an exceptionally beautiful woman in white clothes approaching gracefully, her lovely feet faintly visible, it was Yun Qinglan.

And behind her —— was none other than Madam Xiao!

Liao Qe covered her mouth with excitement and then ran into her mother's arms.

Madam Xiao cried tears of joy, clutching her little daughter tightly, wanting to say something but too overwhelmed to speak a word.

Yun Qinglan bowed deeply, performing a full kowtow, "This servant did not betray your trust and successfully rescued Madam Xiao."

Lu Yao smiled, satisfied with the woman's performance, "You've been diligent, take this as a token of my thanks."

Having said that, he handed over an item.

"This is what a servant should do..." Yun Qinglan subconsciously accepted it, but felt a chill in her hand and suddenly withdrew it.

"This is... an Ice Jade Ring!" Recognizing what it was, she was instantly shocked!

Ice Jade was extremely famous, aiding both Spirit Refinement and Martial Path cultivation, undoubtedly one of the top treasures in the world.

Yun Qinglan's eyes brightened immediately, she quickly bowed deeply, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your generous gift!"

Lu Yao gestured with a lifting hand, "With the New Dynasty about to be established, it is a time to utilize capable people. Perform well, and you won't be treated unfairly."

"This servant understands!"

Having clasped onto such a generous benefactor, Yun Qinglan was truly overjoyed.

But her happiness lasted only a few seconds before she felt a tingling sensation over her body as her Divine Sense Perception alerted her to a hostile gaze signifying danger.

Looking up, she saw a woman standing behind Lord Lu, looking at her coldly, the seductive phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent!

Yun Qinglan immediately recognized her as Li Pei, the stunning woman with the White Tiger Form, the lucky one who snatched up a good man.

Li Pei composed her emotions with Focused Spirit and looked coldly at the wretch before her, saying:

09:36

At this moment, Lu Yao had already gone to exchange pleasantries with Madam Xiao.

With her lord gone, Li Pei's murderous intent was undisguised, and she even grasped the "Imperial Jade Seal."

She wasn't about to strike in public; it was just to intimidate this seductive wretch.

Yun Qinglan turned pale, stepped back three paces, and said in a pitiful voice, "Such a powerful aura from this sister... have I offended you? I apologize to you~"

Li Pei hadn't expected the other to be so weak, and her expression faltered...

Lu Yao also turned his head to remind her, "Peipei, remember to be polite to guests."

Having been reprimanded by her lord, Li Pei's demeanor became sheepish as she reined in her aura.

Just then, Yun Qinglan, who had been playing the part of the weak, suddenly showed a mocking and disdainful expression, rolling her eyes in scorn.

This expression was fleeting, but Li Pei, being firmly established in Spirit Refinement, could not have mistaken it!

She was about to erupt in fury when the other returned to a submissive demeanor, leaving her with no outlet for her rage.

To continue would only serve to cement the reputation of a "jealous woman."

Li Pei composed her emotions with Focused Spirit and looked coldly at the wretch before her, saying:

"Very well! We shall see!"
