Lihuang had four arms, while Gu Chen transformed into eighteen arms. The two of them passed each other like lightning and flint in the turbulent flow, and they went back and forth fiercely.
Many senior officials from the outside world in Xing County witnessed this battle with their own eyes, and many were so shocked that they could not speak.
"He is actually on par with Emperor Li in close combat..."
The Heavenly Punishment General Huanyang Hou looked at Shanhaizhu, whose body was full of cracks, and murmured with disbelief in his eyes.
The strength of Emperor Li's body and his prowess in close combat are well known in Xing County. Even if he competes with him in this environment, he is not sure that he can win.
However, the young man he questioned actually competed with Lihuang in the field that he was good at. His confidence and strength were evident.
You know, according to the intelligence, the other party should be better at Taoism!
"Pang Zheng died unjustly. This kind of defense is enough to withstand my three swords."
Another general of Heavenly Punishment, Mo Shan, also put away his previous contempt, looked gloomy, and touched the broad-bladed giant sword behind his back.
The other top officials in Xing County were all silent. No one said that Emperor Li was more suitable to take over the position of General of Heavenly Punishment!
"It's time for you to admit defeat."
Gu Chen spoke indifferently in the turbulence of space. His seventeen arms resisted Li Huang's four arms, and the strength of the two sides was at odds.
"Admit defeat? How could I lose to you? I want to avenge my son!"
Emperor Li was so determined to reach the Yellow River that he opened his mouth and wanted to bite out Gu Chen's throat!
"court death!"
Gu Chen held his last free hand in the air, and a sword flowing with colorful rays of light suddenly stabbed out, piercing Emperor Li's right shoulder!
Emperor Li suddenly let out a scream, and at this moment, the Mountain and Sea Pearl was completely shattered!
Bang.
The mountain and sea pearls turned into countless fragments and fell into the Heavenly Punishment Hall. Everyone's eyes were blurred when they saw the figures of Gu Chen and Lihuang escaping.
Emperor Li fell heavily to the ground, and Gu Chen stepped on him, and the sword in his hand was firmly inserted into Emperor Li's shoulder, making him unable to move!
"Ah! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
The two arms extending from Emperor Li's right shoulder looked extremely terrifying at the moment. They were originally very strong, but now they were as weak as two baby's arms.
The strength in both of his right arms seemed to have been drained, which greatly damaged his vitality. Under Gu Chen's suppression, he could not get up at all, and could only roar in embarrassment!
He roared angrily again and again, and Lord Xingdao heard the noisy, cold voice spreading.
"Enough!"
Those two words containing the power of heaven made Emperor Li's heart tremble, and he quickly calmed down.
Gu Chen pulled the sword from Emperor Li's shoulder, and the sword body with the colorful glow flowing through it looked particularly gorgeous.
This sword is called the Huangdi Sword, and it is an imperial weapon that Gu Chen obtained after worshiping and refining the Huangdi Ancient Treasure Tree.
The Ancient Treasure Tree of Desolation was born with the Twins of Desolation. It was originally an extremely rare Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
After Emperor Huang broke through and became emperor, he should have refined this treasure into a weapon for their enlightenment, but their lifespan was too short, so this treasure remained.
On the way to Xing County, Gu Chen chose to sacrifice and refine this treasure, and finally refined it into an emperor sword. In order to commemorate Huang Emperor, he named it Huang Emperor Sword.
The Huangdi Sword had just been unsheathed for the first time, and the effect was astonishing. Both of Emperor Li's arms were crippled with one sword strike!
He was very sure that Emperor Li's two arms were disabled from now on. No matter what kind of panacea it was, it would be difficult to cure them, because the vitality of those two arms was cut off by the Huangdi Sword in a matter of seconds.
Gu Chen couldn't kill Emperor Li in front of Xing Daojun, but he could still severely damage his vitality.
Gu Chen put the Huangdi Sword back into his body and glanced at the few Heavenly Punishment generals present.
"Is Gu now qualified to take over the position of General of Heavenly Punishment?"
Several Heavenly Punishment generals were silent. They knew that the other party was demonstrating, but they had nothing to say!
"Lihuang, you should be convinced now, right?"
Lord Xingdao looked at Emperor Li and said indifferently.
Emperor Li finally got up from the ground, but one of his arms was still weakly hanging down with scars all over his body, like a lost dog.
"Subordinate, I am convinced!"
He seemed to have used all his strength to grit his teeth and say this. After speaking, he lowered his head, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Go back and tell the Emperor of the Hundred Realms that the death of the genius of the Hundred Realms cannot be blamed on Gu Chen. If you are to blame, they can only blame their own lack of strength."
"This matter is over. If someone is resentful of Gu Chen because of this matter in the future, or even deliberately provokes trouble, I will never forgive him."
Lord Xingdao made it very clear, Emperor Li knelt down and kowtowed heavily. "I understand, I understand!"
After he kowtowed, he stood up and walked out of the Heavenly Punishment Hall in humiliation, leaving everyone with a bruised back.
"Everyone has seen that Gu Chen's strength is enough to take over the position of General of Heavenly Punishment. In the future, you will all be colleagues, and you need to have more contact and exchanges with each other."
"Okay Gu Chen, you have worked hard in this battle. You go down and have a good rest. You can walk around more in the past few days and get to know the criminal world well."
Lord Xingdao treated Gu Chen very favorably. Gu Chen nodded, took his armor and token from the maid next to him, and left the Heavenly Punishment Hall in a grand manner.
After seeing the special treatment Daojun treated Gu Chen, the senior officials of various ministries pursued him one after another to warm up their relationship as soon as the appointment was over.
In the end, only Mr. Xingdao and Kong Sheng, the head of the Ministry of Industry, were left in the Temple of Heavenly Punishment, and the lights in the temple became dim.
"What do you think of this kid?"
Mr. Xingdao sat on the throne in the darkness, his voice was indifferent and without any emotion.
"It's not easy. I just fought against the Emperor of Strength. Although he showed a powerful body that he didn't possess during the battle in the Ninth Realm, I have an intuition that he has more hidden cards."
"Such a person is so scheming and has just the right sense of proportion. He is a huge threat to our Xing County!"
Kong Sheng narrowed his eyes, "According to normal circumstances, the Lord should kill him to avoid future troubles."
"Since you think so, why don't you advise me?"
Xing Daojun responded.
"Because I know that my lord, to this day, still can't forget the shame of that year and the great ambition hidden deep in his heart."
Kong Sheng's face turned serious.
Hearing Kong Sheng mention what happened back then, Mr. Xingdao seemed to be stung. His fists on the throne were clenched tightly, exuding an unparalleled terrifying aura in the darkness.
"Pang Zheng sent back some information before he died. The white-haired devil from back then has appeared again!"
Xing Daojun's voice was cold and solemn.
"He broke through the defense line and entered the Ninth Realm and disappeared again. No matter what his intentions were, I have to find him."
"I have never forgotten the shame of that time. Even now, my neck, which has lost its head, still feels a dull pain!"
"The gang in the upper realm used me to deal with the overlords, but they ignored me. How can I forgive them?"
"The sky finally has eyes and has sent a descendant of the Overlord clan to me. I want to use him to pry open the door to the Hongmeng Dao Realm."
"One day, I will take revenge and trample that guy under my feet!"
Lord Xingdao roared like a beast, Kong Sheng listened quietly and bowed deeply to him.
"The pain of the master is also the pain of the subordinates. The subordinates will do their best to help the master realize his wish as soon as possible!"
