Chapter 560 Joy of Life 116
There's no point in panicking now that things have come to this.
Just as the two were speculating, a figure lightly landed in front of them. The figure was handsome and smiled slightly upon seeing them: "Father!"
Upon recognizing the person before him, Emperor Qing's face instantly darkened, his tone filled with undisguised surprise:
"The second son?"
Li Chengze bowed slightly and greeted Emperor Qing, saying, "Greetings, Father Emperor!"
Her movements were elegant and composed, her eyes clear and firm, showing none of the timidity she usually displayed in front of Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing looked Li Chengze up and down, feeling utterly absurd.
When did the second brother learn martial arts? And how did he become so skilled?
"You're not in Kyoto... huh?"
Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Qing snapped back to reality, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes: "You're the Grandmaster who just advanced to the rank of Grandmaster?"
Li Chengze smiled calmly and said sincerely, "I must thank Father Emperor. If it weren't for Father Emperor, I would never have been able to reach this level."
Li Chengze's words were sincere.
After all, if Emperor Qing hadn't lost his composure twice, it would have been very difficult for him to successfully connect with the heavens and earth through the surrounding nuclear radiation on his own.
Having received a definite answer, Emperor Qing was not pleased that his son had been promoted to Grandmaster.
On the contrary, he felt that he had been fooled by his son, and a raging fire of anger ignited in his heart.
He thought he had everything under control, never expecting that his son, whom he considered a pawn to be abandoned, would actually break free from his plan and become a Grandmaster.
Emperor Qing did not believe he had done anything wrong.
In his view, as the emperor, his decisions were naturally correct; the only ones who were wrong were others.
At this moment, Emperor Qing was filled with thoughts of how hateful Li Chengze was, daring to deceive his father.
What's wrong with him wanting to choose a qualified successor for the Qing Kingdom?
Li Chengze was wrong!
If Li Chengze hadn't been hiding his true abilities, why would he have focused his attention on Li Chengqian?
If Li Chengze hadn't concealed his abilities, how could I have chosen the wrong successor?
That's right, it's all Li Chengze's fault.
"Truly my good son. It's truly remarkable that you've endured so much in front of me for so many years," Emperor Qing said coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.
By this point, how could he not understand?
The fact that the second brother broke through to the Grandmaster level today must mean he has been holding back for a long time.
Thinking of the various chaotic events that had occurred in Kyoto in recent months, Emperor Qing understood the situation.
Things that seemed unreasonable before suddenly have a reasonable explanation.
"The explosives on Niulan Street, Ye Zhong's death, the failed prison break by the Censorate, the Ye family being falsely accused of treason—were all these things your doing?"
Li Chengze did not answer the question, but said sincerely, "Since Father has already helped me a lot, why not help me one more time?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing snorted coldly, his gaze falling on the tattered longsword in Li Chengze's hand: "That's Si Gu Jian's sword. It seems you killed both Ku He and Si Gu Jian?"
"With your abilities already so great, is there anything else I need to do?"
Li Chengze smiled faintly: "Your subject wishes to be the emperor."
His premonition came true, and Emperor Qing could no longer help but change his expression, looking at Li Chengze with a gloomy gaze: "Could it be that you intend to commit patricide?"
"Your Majesty, I have no particular hobbies in this life, except for the desire to be emperor. I hope that Your Majesty can grant me this wish."
"Huff, huff!" Emperor Qing breathed heavily through his nostrils, finally unable to suppress the raging anger within him, and shouted angrily, "You unfilial son!"
Li Chengze clicked his tongue twice, and said with a hint of confusion on his face, "Isn't Father Emperor's greatest wish in this life to cultivate the most outstanding successor? Now your son is capable of governing the country and bringing peace to the nation, and is also capable of intimidating all sides with his martial prowess."
In the imperial court, I can suppress the ministers and balance the political situation; as for martial arts, well, I can now be considered the number one in the world. With such an excellent successor as my son, you should be content.”
Seeing that Emperor Qing's face remained gloomy, Li Chengze feigned ignorance and continued, "Am I wrong? Why is Father so angry? Could it be..." He slowly suppressed his smile and looked coldly at Emperor Qing: "Could it be that what Father said about cultivating an heir was a lie? You never intended to pass the throne to anyone? Are Li Chengqian and I just pawns in your scheme?"
"Bastard!"
Emperor Qing, whose true feelings had been exposed, could no longer contain his anger and pointed at Li Chengze, shouting curses at him.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengze shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of provocation: "Father, as a Grandmaster, you can kill anyone you dislike. Now that you are so angry, why haven't you made a move against your son? Is it because you are physically weak?"
"I suppose your true energy hasn't recovered yet after your battle with Si Gu Jian and Ku He."
Li Chengze smiled at Emperor Qing, and before the other party could speak again, he raised the long sword in his hand: "Your subject has never sparred with Your Majesty in this life. Today is a good opportunity. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he shot towards Emperor Qing like a cannonball.
Emperor Qing was caught off guard by Li Chengze's sudden attack. In a moment of panic, he quickly mobilized the portion of his restored internal energy and struck Li Chengze with a palm strike without any mercy.
"boom--"
The two forces collided violently in mid-air, producing a loud bang, and an invisible shockwave spread rapidly in all directions.
Ye Liuyun looked at the father and son killing each other and couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Thinking of Emperor Qing's mention of Ye Zhong's death, he hardened his heart and, disregarding his already severely injured body, once again reached out his hands from his sleeves and grabbed at Li Chengze.
No one in this world can withstand the attacks of two Grandmasters at the same time, but if that person is Li Chengze, who has already entered the Divine Realm, then it's a different story.
Especially since Emperor Qing's internal energy had been almost completely depleted by the previous battle, and Ye Liuyun had also been seriously injured by Si Gu Jian.
On the contrary, Li Chengze was at his peak at this time and could draw strength from heaven and earth at any time.
The three exchanged several blows in the blink of an eye, their sleeves fluttering.
With every gesture, the immense true energy he exuded stirred up dust.
Unlike the previous sneak attack on Ku He and Si Gu Jian by Emperor Qing, this time the three of them clashed head-on.
Moreover, all three of them have transcended the realm of mortals, so their battles are naturally grand in scale.
A sudden gust of wind arose, sending sand and stones flying.
The entire Dadong Mountain was completely turned into their battlefield, and in just a few breaths, the mountain was already devastated.
The seawater below the cliff was stirred up by the true energy unleashed during the battle between the three, splashing up layers of waves that violently pounded against the cliff wall, producing a deafening "whoosh" sound.
Li Chengze seized an opportunity and thrust his sword at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was startled, vaguely feeling that this sword technique seemed familiar.
Before he could think it through, the longsword had already pierced through his chest.
That sharp sword energy, that unstoppable technique—
"It's the Four-Looking Sword Technique..." Ye Liuyun's eyes widened, but before he could finish speaking, Li Chengze swiftly closed in and swung his sword again.
