The void was eerily silent at that moment.

It was as if time had abruptly frozen.

Nangong Lie, his arms torn off, stood weakly in the void, or rather, he was nailed to the void by the Emperor Slaughter Blade.

Jiang He, Chu Changfeng, Lingxu Daoist, Zhao Danqing, and the others all turned their gazes to this place, with different expressions, but most of them were shocked.

Shocked by Chen Yuan's strength!

They were able to crush those Demon Saint True Lords in a short time because they either completely suppressed them in strength and had the assistance of immortal weapons, or they fought two against one.

Only in this way could they resolve those opponents in such a short time.

But what about Chen Yuan?

He was different.

He faced Nangong Lie head-on with his own strength, taking almost the same amount of time as them.

And this was the shocking part.

Who was Nangong Lie?

He was the dignified Prince of a Different Surname of the imperial court, guarding the border for hundreds of years, with astonishing strength. When he fully unleashed his power, he was definitely at the top five level of the Heaven Ranking.

Even Zhao Danqing, with an immortal weapon in hand, was not confident that he could defeat Nangong Lie at full strength.

Now, Chen Yuan had solved Nangong Lie in about the same amount of time as them. What did this mean?

It meant that Chen Yuan's current strength had already created a gap with the peerless True Lords and could rival the top three who had comprehended the rules!

Although this was a good thing, giving them a greater chance to dominate the world in the future, there was still some complex meaning from the bottom of their hearts.

Among them, Chu Changfeng felt it the most.

Below, nearly 100,000 elite iron cavalry, and the remaining 100,000 elite soldiers of the Zhennan Army, were all stunned in place at this moment, watching this frozen picture.

Complex feelings quickly filled their hearts.

The Prince of Zhennan had betrayed the human race and indeed deserved to die, but after all, he had trained them. Without anyone instigating them, one after another, the generals of the Zhennan Army knelt on one knee.

To bid farewell to the Prince of Zhennan!

"Cough cough...hehe..."

Nangong Lie coughed lightly a few times. The cold wind blew his hair, and he slowly raised his head, a light laugh coming from his mouth, staring at Chen Yuan with eyes full of various expressions.

There was killing intent, respect, and shock, all kinds of complex emotions filling his heart.

"You...won."

Nangong Lie said in a low voice.

"Be on your way."

Chen Yuan raised his right arm, and surging Qi and blood began to explode. The manic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi began to rapidly converge towards his right arm, and an immense aura of terror rose along with it.

Nangong Lie's eyes reflected Chen Yuan's figure, from clear to blurred, and finally, he gradually saw another person. He carefully stared at it.

It seemed...to be him.

It was the him of the past!

When the Great Chu had not yet been overthrown, he, Nangong Lie, was also a loyal and good general, deeply trusted by the emperor, and almost regarded as a great general of the border to be cultivated.

And he also returned the favor, hoping that one day he could become a famous general praised by the world, and in the future, he would ride his horse and attack the Southern Border.

To pacify the troubles for the human race.

It was a pity... when he had already grown up, the once prosperous Great Chu Dynasty fell into crisis, and the powerful minister Sima Yuande wanted to usurp the throne.

His initial thought was, of course, to enter the capital and serve the emperor to the death.

But...

When Sima Yuande personally came to Nanzhou, everything changed. No matter how he attacked, he could not hurt him even by a finger. He thought he was going to die.

But Sima Yuande lightly let him go, telling him that the general trend could not be violated. If he wanted to live, he would submit to the Sima family, and in the future, Nanzhou would be enfeoffed to him.

Under the threat of death, Nangong Lie chose to survive by compromising. Although he was curious as to why Sima Yuande could kill him but was unwilling to do so.

He didn't have time to think much and directly knelt and swore allegiance.

At that moment, Nangong Lie realized that he didn't value the emperor's kindness that much. What he valued was always his own life and the power in his hands.

Sima Yuande left. According to the agreement, Nangong Lie secretly released an army of the Chen family, just to exert the last bit of strength for the Xiang family.

He did not participate in the death of the Chen family's army, but he had already anticipated it, but he never said much. At that time, if the Chen family's army was not destroyed, he would not be able to quickly control the situation in Nanzhou.

After the Chen family's army that entered the capital to defend the emperor was all buried in Shuzhou, Nangong Lie, as the border general, was the first to stand up and list the emperor's ten major crimes.

And he raised the flag and supported Sima Yuande's claim to the throne.

With him taking the lead, all parties in the world responded. In just a few days, the foundation of the Great Chu Dynasty collapsed, and countless sects and families began to feast.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects either took the opportunity to expand their forces or turned a blind eye. Only the Goddess Palace and Mount Shu helped the Xiang family. The rest of the forces did not respond to the imperial edict.

Later, as expected, when the general trend was gone, a shocking battle took place in the capital. He did not participate, and what he learned were only fragments of rumors.

The Great Chu was overthrown.

And he, Nangong Lie, also transformed into the Prince of Zhennan of the Great Jin Dynasty, guarding the border for the human race according to the order of the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, preventing the demon race from going north.

In addition, the Great Jin Dynasty did not have the slightest constraint. After Sima Yuande faked his death and abdicated, Nangong Lie's ambition was completely ignited.

He desperately cultivated, stepped into the Fleshly Body Divine Power Realm, brought his Yang God cultivation to the peak, and deduced his artistic conception to the peak, but the last level was never comprehended.

This level had trapped him for hundreds of years!

In other words, he exhausted all methods and found many rare enlightenment spiritual objects, but there was still no movement, so... he slowly recognized himself.

He knew that relying on his own comprehension, he would not be able to take that half step until his lifespan was exhausted.

The demon race in the Southern Border had penetrated Nanzhou very deeply, planted countless spies, and learned that he was almost crazy about comprehending the rules.

Therefore, those demon races began to lure him, telling him that as long as he took refuge in the demon race, there would be demon gods to guide him in his cultivation, and there would be demon race inheritance treasures to help him comprehend the rules.

At first, Nangong Lie was naturally not tempted. He was still very vigilant against the demon race. Not only did he refuse, but he also killed all the demon race experts.

But, gradually, as he became more and more desperate, his bottom line for fighting for the human race in his heart gradually began to loosen. Slowly, he began to collude with the Southern Border.

At this time, the Great Jin Dynasty had been established for nearly two hundred years, and the hidden dangers at the beginning of the founding of the country began to gradually appear. Jianghu forces began to emerge, and they were always at odds with the imperial court.

Nangong Lie judged that the world, which had been peaceful for more than two hundred years, might be in great chaos again in the near future.

From that time on, Nangong Lie began to prepare secretly.

And, he abandoned his bottom line and began to join forces with the demon race.

Of course, he also knew that the demon race regarded him as a chess piece, but he was actually using the demon race as a knife. In the end, it only depended on who laughed last.

His vision was very good, to break through Mount Shu, get the Demon God Flower, and not hesitate to pay the price for it, but in the end, things went against his wishes. He failed, and he failed completely.

Later, the situation changed faster and faster. Jingtai died in Chen Yuan's hands, and he personally opened the chaotic world, and the world began to be in chaos.

Nangong Lie and the demon race agreed that after taking half of the Central Plains, the demon army would come out of the Southern Border to help Nangong Lie become emperor, but... it was only the first plan.

He failed again.

The elite under his command betrayed him, his adopted son died in battle, and the four great demon saints of the demon race all died in front of him.

And he was about to fall.

Scenes of the past quickly flashed before his eyes like images, and Nangong Lie's blurred gaze gradually became clear in the last moment.

He was defeated, but for some reason, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that life was just like this. The winner was king and the loser was the enemy. He had done all the efforts that should be done. Since there was no hope, it was better to die calmly.

Most importantly, he did not die in the hands of an unknown person, but in the hands of the famous Chen Yuan. From this, Nangong Lie truly realized the terror of Chen Yuan.

He had a hunch that this person would be the next Chu Taizu.

The Human Emperor who would attack the Southern Border and break the spine of the demon race for five hundred years!

It was a pity that he had no chance to leave a strong mark in such a glorious era. Not surprisingly, future generations would give him a very poor evaluation.

Betraying the human race, everyone should be killed!

In fact, what he said before was not deceiving Chen Yuan. If possible, he was willing to be a great general attacking the Southern Border, leaving behind fame and fortune for generations.

It was a pity,

It was a pity...

No, there was nothing to regret.

He had done so many evil deeds, betrayed the Great Chu, betrayed the Great Jin, and betrayed the human race. Hiss, people like him who were full of evil seemed...to deserve to die!

Good riddance!

If he really brought the demon race into the Central Plains, causing misery to the people, then he would be a sinner for all ages.

In the last moment before his death, Nangong Lie was somewhat enlightened.

Watching Chen Yuan gather more and more powerful strength, he could be sure that he would not even leave a complete corpse. Nangong Lie smiled heartlessly.

Don't leave a corpse, otherwise, he would probably be cursed by the world for hundreds of years.

Good to die,

Good to die.

"Chen Yuan!"

Nangong Lie, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Hmm?"

"You won very well. I really deserve to die, and this sin cannot be washed away, but in the end, on the verge of death, this king is willing to help you. Whether it's you or Ye Xiangnan, as long as you can prevent the demon race from going north to the Central Plains."

Listening to Nangong Lie's words, Chen Yuan's expression was a little strange, and the expressions of Jiang He and others were also a little strange. A person who colluded with the demon race did not want the demon race to go north in the end.

What were you doing before?

People's words are kind when they are about to die?

Pah!

Nangong Lie waved his last strength and threw a ball of white light towards Chen Yuan.

"This is the information that this king has gathered about the demon race over the years. It's not detailed, but it can always be of some use to you, and also this king's Zhennan Royal Token.

Holding this token, Zhennan Pass, Zhennan Army, and most of Nanzhou will no longer resist you, which can be regarded as this king's last repentance for his sins before death."

Grasping the light ball with the other hand, Chen Yuan's divine sense probed into it, and his face changed slightly. He stared at Nangong Lie and asked:

"What is your wish? As long as it's not excessive, this king can grant it to you."

"Hahaha... This king can't trust you. This king's family has already been sent away before this king came here. If there is any wish, I only ask you to be quicker when you strike later, it's best to die instantly, so that you can avoid a lot of pain."

Nangong Lie smiled.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He himself had not prepared to give Nangong Lie any chance, to kill him with one blow and let him fall in Dongshan Valley.

Nangong Lie breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't move his body, so he could only use his last strength to shout:

"Soldiers of the Zhennan Army, you did the right thing. This king has betrayed the human race and colluded with demons, and his crime deserves to be punished. I deserve to die, and I will die well today.

Now, Nangong Lie, with the title of Prince of Zhennan of the Great Jin, will issue a last royal order. Will the generals listen?"

"Please give the order, Your Highness!"

"Please give the order, Your Highness!"

"Please give the order, Your Highness!"

More than 100,000 soldiers of the Zhennan Army, at this moment, knelt on one knee neatly, their faces heavy.

They were unwilling to wield their weapons for the rebellious king who betrayed the human race. They would rather be killed than help the demons. This was their belief. They were willing to die for the Prince of Zhennan of the Great Jin.

This was the belief passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.

"By my order, all soldiers of the Zhennan Army shall serve Prince Yan, Chen Yuan, in the future. Under his leadership, let the banner of our Zhennan Army be planted all over the Central Plains and all over the world!"

"We obey Your Highness's order!"

"We obey Your Highness's order!"

"We obey Your Highness's order!"

Three shouts rang out, shaking the sky.

The next moment, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Zhennan Army bowed down to Chen Yuan and shouted:

"Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Yan!"

"Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Yan!"

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

Their movement seemed to have a terrifying contagion. Nearly 100,000 soldiers under Chen Yuan's command also dismounted and knelt down, chanting:

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

Their voices were even louder, as if they were deliberately suppressing the soldiers of the Zhennan Army.

"The general trend is with you, both Nanshu and Shuzhou are yours, the hearts of the people are with you, the righteousness of the Jianghu is with you, Chen Yuan, Prince Yan, take this king as a lesson and sweep across the world.

Please, Prince Yan, do it!"

Nangong Lie roared and closed his eyes, seeking death.

Chen Yuan was expressionless, his expression indifferent. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings, but it was not entirely true to say that he had many.

Even if Nangong Lie said something flowery, he would have to die today.

Even if the wicked man puts down the butcher knife, he is still a wicked man, he cannot become a good man, let alone a Buddha.

He did indeed take Nangong Lie as a lesson today, but not because he betrayed the human race, not because he made one wrong move and lost the whole game. What he took as a lesson was the great righteousness.

Nangong Lie lost the great righteousness, and the Zhennan Army, which had been trained for hundreds of years, still did not obey the royal order. This was the lesson he needed to learn.

With great righteousness in hand and the hearts of the people in his grasp, he could drive countless people to death, but if the great righteousness was lost, it might also cause the collapse of a thousand-mile embankment by ant nests.

So,

So!

What he will walk in the future should not be those conspiracies and tricks, but the upright and righteous path that everyone agrees with.

Even if he has careful thoughts and small tricks, he must put on a layer of righteous skin for himself.

The light flowed, and the aura was exuberant. Facing Nangong Lie's calm death, Chen Yuan did not hesitate and threw a punch, and the terrifying fist burst into the void.

The sonic boom resounded!

Nangong Lie's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and even the imprisoned Yang God was directly annihilated at this moment. At the same time, under the circumstances that others could not see.

A touch of cyan destiny light turned into a stream of light and instantly drilled into Chen Yuan's mind.

The Destiny Altar began to rotate, and the secrets of heaven were also deduced at this moment.

Soon, a flash of inspiration condensed in his heart.

"The Southern Vermillion Bird's Blood Flame is empty, bathed in flames in the Flame Mountain, go straight to the southwest for 30,000 miles, and the divine power of tempering the body with heavenly fire is extreme!"

Vermillion Bird, bathed in flames, Flame Mountain, Divine Power Extreme!

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and pondered.

It was still so easy to understand.

Relying on this opportunity, he can improve his body to the extreme.

The only pity is that Chen Yuan originally wanted to improve his artistic conception to perfection. If he could comprehend the rules, it would be a fundamental improvement for him.

But it can't be said that he doesn't like it.

The path taken by ordinary warriors is basically to specialize in the Yuanshen in order to condense the rules, but in addition to this, it is not that there are no other paths, that is to improve the body to the extreme.

You can still become a god.

Immortal gods and immortal gods.

Immortals and gods are equal. When the body is deduced to the extreme, he can still get extremely huge improvements. At that time, he may not be able to rely on the body to resist the rules.

What really surprised him was that the guidance was the South Pole Vermillion Bird...

The last time it was the Azure Dragon, this time it was the Vermillion Bird, so next time, will it be the White Tiger, or the Black Tortoise?

The four poles of heaven and earth!

Chen Yuan once had such an idea, but he didn't expect it to really come true.

The power of the four poles of heaven and earth, condensed in himself, the power he obtains may be far beyond his imagination.

It's a pity that although he can foresee that the next opportunity is the White Tiger or the Black Tortoise, such four-pole divine beasts are born with the destiny of heaven and earth.

It is impossible to deduce their location at all. Even the immortal sects in the world cannot find the location of the four-pole divine beasts, but the Destiny Altar can.

Opening his eyes, Chen Yuan took a deep breath.

At this moment, the blood mist transformed by Nangong Lie has enveloped the heaven and earth, like a thin drizzle, moving with the wind, as if announcing the end of a very powerful rebellious king in the world.

With Nangong Lie's death, coupled with the Zhennan Royal Token he handed over before his death, it was enough to command the entire Nanzhou, and he would also control a state without bloodshed.

From then on, half of the south would belong to him.

Both his strength and power will be able to have a qualitative leap.

When he occupies Xuezhou, Qingzhou will be his bag. Half of the Central Plains will fall into his hands, and he will be the most powerful rebellious king in the world!

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

With Nangong Lie's death and the fall of Nanzhou, the demon race, which has been planning for so many years, will definitely not give up. It is very likely that they will press the border with a large army. If he can withstand this wave, he will have the ability to start the Northern Expedition.

If he can't resist it, he will only follow in Nangong Lie's footsteps.

The only good news for him is that, according to the intelligence from Nangong Lie before his death, the four major demon races in the Southern Border are in a melee.

Preparing to decide on a true royal family, it may not be possible to attack the Central Plains with all its strength. If this is the case, then even if he adds Wudi City, he may not be able to stop it.

At least, there are four demon gods.

How to stop it?

Does it really mean that Moro is invincible in the world, or that he is invincible in the world?

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the place where Nangong Lie had exploded into blood mist. Jiang He's eyes were indifferent, as if the death of the Prince of Zhennan had nothing to do with him.

Chu Changfeng sighed lightly, but not in regret. He was just lamenting that a figure who had once been famous in the world had officially withdrawn from the world of great competition.

Zhu Huai's expression was complicated. In the south, whether in Nanzhou or Shuzhou, Nangong Lie's reputation was extremely high, no less than that of Wei Jinfeng, the Prince of Beiliang in the north.

He also grew up listening to his legends, but now, he died in his hands.

Really... complicated.

Chen Yuan was his master. Although he didn't make much contribution today, he also took action. Saying that he died in his hands seemed... perhaps... should... not be too much.

Lingxu Daoist snorted softly. He broke the Mount Shu formation, and he couldn't wait for him to die. In fact, Chen Yuan really had to kill Nangong Lie.

In addition to the fact that he had destiny and colluded with the demon race, he also had to take into account the face of the Mount Shu side. One side was three True Lords, and the other side was the enemy.

He knew the priorities in his heart.

Zhao Danqing smiled, regretting that he didn't have a final fight with Nangong Lie to determine the winner, and also lamenting the fall of the king who had dominated Nanzhou for more than two hundred years.

Time and fate.

The giant turtle lowered its head, and it had nothing to do with it.

However, the soldiers of the Zhennan Army below were somewhat sad at this time, especially the last words of Nangong Lie, which made them feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Chen Yuan estimated that perhaps Nangong Lie's final awakening was not only because he was at the end of his rope and wanted to leave himself a last bit of dignity, but also to awaken the military spirit of these Zhennan troops.

With those words as a foundation, if Chen Yuan turned over the old accounts afterwards and ordered his family to be hunted down, it would definitely cause a mutiny, or even cause chaos in Nanzhou.

He was indeed a smart person.

"Generals, Nangong Lie is dead, and his sins are unforgivable, but I am very pleased with his final awakening. You are the most elite army in the world.

This king can promise that whether it is now or in the past, you will be treated equally when you join my command."

Chen Yuan looked at the Zhennan Army below and said loudly.

These were all elites, really elites, much stronger than the soldiers under his command. They also had no fighting spirit before, otherwise, with the formation of the four major battle formations, there would indeed be a lot of trouble. The training of the soldiers under his command would not be called training, but sending them to death.

Therefore, acceptance is necessary.

He also has to gather all his strength to fight against the demon race in the Southern Border.

Nangong Lie is Nangong Lie, and the soldiers are the soldiers, and they cannot be confused.

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

"We are willing to die for Prince Yan!"

Cheers rose again, resounding through the void.

Zhao Danqing smiled and looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"With today's battle over, Nanzhou can be considered to be completely in Prince Yan's urn. This Taoist is here to congratulate you first."

"Daoist is wrong."

"Hmm?"

"This is not the end, but a new beginning!"
