Rumble!
Thunder boomed in Li Zhu's ears, seemingly warning him not to speak carelessly...
"Are you protesting what I said? Heaven is unjust, yet people aren't allowed to speak out? What kind of logic is that?"
Li Zhu roared at the sky, causing everyone who had followed him to turn their gaze towards him…
Both Zhao Feng and Wang Yanzhang wondered if Li Zhu would be just as heartbroken if they were lying there.
The answer is yes, and that's part of Li Zhu's charm...
"Why? Haha..."
Li Zhu burst into maniacal laughter, but no one dared to disturb him, letting him vent his anger...
Rumble...
A rumble of thunder sounded, dark clouds instantly gathered overhead, followed by a torrential downpour, attempting to interrupt Li Zhu's madness...
Are you scared? What are you scared of?
Li Zhu looked up at the obscured sky and frantically questioned...
Li Zhu knelt on the muddy ground, trying to recall more memories of the two people, but he found there were too few. This saddened him. They had only just met him, yet they had given their lives for him. He wasn't sure if he would remember them in the future, but their last wish was for him to live well. This was an opportunity they had bought for him with their own lives…
"ah…"
Li Zhu spread his arms wide, roared to the sky, and let the rain lash his face...
"You should all live well so I can play around with this world with a clear conscience. But now I have to do something. I want to control my own destiny. I won't allow anyone around me to die for me anymore. I want everyone to be able to live for themselves..."
I want to live the life you want me to live, and I want to do the things you wanted to do but didn't have time to do..."
Li Zhu stroked the two tombstones, murmuring softly, as if speaking to them, and also as if reminding himself…
The revenge for Eunuch Wei has been taken; now only Consort Ming's maternal family, the Cui family, remains!
He promised Consort Ming that he would make the Second Prince and the Cui family kneel at her feet, and he would definitely do it…
The Second Prince is no longer a threat. Although the Cui family is a powerful clan, its influence is still far behind that of top-tier families like the Yuwen, Liu, and Jiang families…
"Ten years have passed, and we are separated by life and death; though I try not to think of you, I cannot forget you..."
Li Zhu unconsciously recalled this poem, which perfectly reflected his state of mind at that moment…
Even though it was pouring rain that day, Li Zhu didn't leave. He just kept talking to himself while drinking the wine that had been diluted by the rain...
He feared that if he left, he might never be able to come back to visit them again; he feared that the two of them would be lonely without him…
He was afraid...
He was afraid of this cannibalistic world...
He fears even more those enemies who are always thinking of devouring him…
"Crown Prince of the New Tang Dynasty, hand over the Book of the Yellow Path, and I will spare your life..."
Just as Li Zhu was still immersed in grief, a voice echoed through the valley. In an instant, Zhao Feng, Wang Yanzhang, and Hou Wang appeared behind him, and even Xiaolongnu instinctively shielded Li Zhu in the middle, ready for battle…
Seeing their reaction, Li Zhu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Even though he knew that Xiaolongnu could control snakes to attack enemies, as a grown man, being protected by a little girl still hurt his pride to some extent...
At the same time, I felt an indescribable rage towards this suddenly appearing enemy. Why the hell did you have to come? Why did you have to show up and cause trouble while I was visiting my family's graves…
This behavior is very unethical. He really wants to pin the other person to the ground and teach them a lesson: you can't easily disturb someone in such a solemn atmosphere while they're visiting a grave; it ruins their mood...
"Didn't your mother tell you to respect the dead? Are you blind? Didn't you see I was paying respects to the deceased? Why did you have to interrupt me while I was talking to the dead? Did you forget your brain when you left home?"
Li Zhu's outburst left those around him bewildered. Each sentence required a moment to process before they realized it was an insult, and what's worse, it didn't contain any profanity, yet it was quite harsh...
Those hiding in the shadows probably never expected that the dignified Crown Prince of the New Tang Dynasty would utter such foul language, and were momentarily stunned...
"Hmph! What a sharp-tongued brat! Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother..."
Before anyone could react, a moon-shaped weapon flew out of the forest, heading straight for Li Zhu…
The moon, carrying an aura of creation that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, caused the expressions of several people to change drastically…
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng fired an arrow, which accurately collided with the moon...
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the moon wheel collided with the arrow. The arrow fletching was as easy as tofu, and the moon wheel continued its undiminished momentum, heading straight for Li Zhu…
Then Hou Wang and Wang Yanzhang rushed forward, one wielding a sword and the other a spear, simultaneously colliding with the flying moon wheel…
An unseen force intertwined at the point of impact, causing both sides to continuously lose strength in the collision…
boom!
The balance of power among the three was broken, an explosion rang out, and the next moment Wang Yanzhang and Hou Wang were seen being thrown backward by the impact...
The moon, too, exhausted its last bit of strength due to the continuous collisions, and used the force of the rebound to fly back into the forest...
After Wang Yanzhang and Hou Wang landed, blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, clearly indicating that the collision had caused them serious injuries.
Seeing this, Li Zhu wanted to curse. When this Marquis was bragging, he didn't even bother to prepare a draft. He claimed to be the best in the world, but now that someone else has taken him down, how does that prove he's the best?
Despite his complaints, Li Zhu remained extremely vigilant. The fact that two top experts, Wang Yanzhang and Hou Wang, could be injured simultaneously was enough to prove the strength of the newcomer…
Most importantly, the other party did not even show himself. He just casually threw out a weapon and it was so powerful. If the other party had really made a move, wouldn't they all have been wiped out here?
"Little Dragon Girl, come here quickly..."
When Li Zhu saw Xiaolongnu trying to go into the woods, he quickly called her back. So many people couldn't handle her; for a little girl like her to go there would be suicide…
"Brother Zhu, the newcomers are powerful; they are beyond your capabilities..."
Little Dragon Girl said very seriously!
This was the first time Li Zhu had seen Xiaolongnu so serious. She was usually all smiles and playful, often teasing him. This surprised Li Zhu somewhat, but he also spoke seriously.
"Of course I know the person coming is powerful, so you absolutely cannot go. What if something happens to you? How am I supposed to explain this to the Dragon King…?"
"Brother Zhu, are you stopping me from going out because you can't explain it to my father?"
Little Dragon Girl said somewhat sadly!
