Chapter 339: Chapter 164: For Whom the Bell Tolls, Knocking on the Door of Desire! (End of Volume)

Moreover, among the Dragon Guards present, only Li Jin is at the ninth layer of Integration, two others are at the eighth layer, and the rest are at the sixth and seventh layers.

Those with stronger blood energy than his, he can catch up and surpass with various augmentation blessings, let alone those weaker than him. These Dragon Guards might not even compare to Zhang Yi and Luo Er.

Therefore, there was no suspense in this battle from the very beginning.

Fan Wubing is well aware that this time, returning from the Abyssal Prison is not to accept challenges and trials, but to settle accounts and clear his name.

A strong integration realm practitioner will not die just because their head is cut off. If Fan Wubing simultaneously activates "Swallow the Stars and Chew the Moon," it would be a Taotie feast of "Tongue Desires".

But he did not do so.

First, his blood energy intensity far surpasses theirs now, and "Tongue Desires" wouldn’t absorb much blood.

Second, they are people of Great Li. Fan Wubing has no hatred or grievances with Great Li; indeed, the Eternal Immortal Sect has even received deep support from Great Li. Killing them is meaningless and would only create unnecessary disputes and conflicts.

He knows clearly that the only conflict lies with Ye Chuxuan and is unrelated to others.

Therefore, he merely severed the bodies of the Dragon Guards and used the "Divine Court Hundred Soldiers" of "Demonic Body Transforms to Martial" to disarm them, temporarily depriving them of combat power.

Li Ying couldn’t see his silhouette at all, only noticing the Dragon Guards falling one after another.

The broken limbs and shattered souls, under the rain’s downpour, turned Huannan Celestial Street into a purgatory.

Both those out in the open and those hiding did not escape Fan Wubing’s long sword. These Dragon Guards never even touched Fan Wubing from start to finish. Their cultivation qi was entirely insufficient, and whenever their worldly path mechanisms emerged, they were severed by a single sword strike.

They couldn’t comprehend how someone could, through sheer strength, obliterate path mechanisms.

These were not ordinary divine martial techniques but path mechanisms! Thousands of days and nights to walk on the path, racking their brains and exhausting their souls, to comprehend the path mechanisms! It’s the techniques of heaven and earth, the movement of all things! How could it be cut by such a straightforward sword?

Could it be a sword move driven by path mechanisms?

No, they didn’t sense any path mechanisms in that sword move.

It was just an ordinary sword move.

Then, there is only one answer.

His power surpasses theirs so much that it suppresses them by sheer force alone.

But he appears to be just at the peak of Nascent Soul!

Fan Wubing held his sword against Li Jin’s throat, "Do you still want to block me?"

Li Jin looked dazedly at Fan Wubing. Already old, he now seemed even older. After a long daze, he rasped a soul-searching question, "Why...?"

This "why" contained many questions.

Why is your cultivation only at Nascent Soul, yet your attacks can crush the mechanisms of the late stage of Integration?

Why did you start cultivating only three and a half years ago, yet you’re as powerful as an ancient monster that’s cultivated for a thousand years?

Why have you come to Great Li!

Why do you want to begin the path of the Imperial Dynasty!

Li Jin gritted his teeth and asked, "What exactly are you up to! What do you want from Great Li! With your strength, why not eradicate the world-disrupting Great Demon! Why not prevent catastrophe beasts in the Fallen Immortal Land! Why come to disrupt Great Li!"

Fan Wubing calmly replied, "Even now, you still don’t understand that it’s the emperor whom you serve who is disrupting Great Li? His selfish desires have wasted three hundred years of Great Li, failing everyone’s expectations and hopes."

"You aren’t even a Great Li person; you’re not qualified to comment!"

Fan Wubing laughed, "You truly think I want to comment? Let me tell you, if not for something I desire in Great Li, I wouldn’t stay even a moment. In my heart, I’d have already gone to the Sea of Eternal Life to find Sister Ying."

For him, it’s more worthwhile to consider what to eat tomorrow than to ponder whether Great Li can become an Imperial Dynasty.

Before, all he did was for heart desires.

Now, besides heart desires, he must also respond to the blessing of the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell.

Upon bringing the Dragon of Destiny back to Great Li, the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell bestowed upon him the complete divine technique "Fulong Wenda".

Thus, the path he walks is not the path of the Imperial Dynasty but the road of heart desires and echoes.

Li Jin looked at him dazedly, "What do you actually want! Great Li can give it to you! Why..."

Fan Wubing gazed at the imperial gate in the air, "What I want is behind that door."

Li Jin closed his eyes in despair.

Fan Wubing severed his flesh.

Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, under the curtain of rain, Fan Wubing turned to look at Li Ying and asked with a smile, "Sister Ying, do you want to go with me? You can go and scold Ye Chuxuan fiercely, call him ungrateful and selfish."

Li Ying stared at the young man in a daze, emotions in her heart like surging clouds, unable to settle.

After a long time, she gently shook her head, "Those are trivial matters. I don’t really care about Ye Chuxuan’s actions, only hope that Great Li, struggling for over three hundred years, can truly complete the imperial blueprint. Besides—"

"Besides?"

Li Ying smiled, "I hope you return safely."

Fan Wubing’s gaze was firm, "I will."

After speaking, he turned and flew his sword towards the towering Qi Observation Platform of the Li Palace.

...

"You shouldn’t have come."

One end of the golden long steps connects to the colossal imperial gate, and the other end connects to the Qi Observation Platform. Ye Chuxuan stood before the long steps, clearly the last hindrance on the path of the Great Li Imperial Dynasty.

Chengming stood on the other side of the Qi Observation Platform.

The wind on the high platform was strong, making the clothes of both flutter.

Chengming’s voice echoed in the wind, "Over three hundred years ago, I also stood here, and you stood there."
