Chapter 37: The Overbearing Tyrant's Straight Line Crushing

  When Li Yuanba suddenly smashed Li Jing to death with one hammer, the generals of Tian Ce Fu immediately drew their weapons, with a face full of fear but also with a determined look to surround and attack Li Yuanba!

  "Stop it at once! Third Brother, what do you mean by this?" Li Shimin of course didn't dare to let his subordinates be sent to their deaths, and he stopped the provocative behavior of those under him, asking Li Yuanba with a furious face.

  "What's the meaning? Hehe, you'll know later! If you don't scram now, I won't mind taking down this bunch of trash along with that piece of garbage." Li Yuanba calmly pointed at the pile of flesh.

  "You! Alright! Someone, collect General Li Jing's remains, let's go!" Li Shimin walked away with a gloomy face. He knew that Li Yuanba had already found out about this time Li Xiuning's death and his own involvement! Since it was like this, then hurrying back to discuss how to resolve the already broken relationship with Li Yuanba was the right thing to do! Hoping that person wouldn't let him down...

  "Kill my fourth sister, Liu Hei is very good!" Li Yuanba bowed down and hugged Li Xiuning's body, saying to Wang Ting: "You go back to your sect, find out where Liu Hei is hiding for me! Announce to the world, any force that dares to help Liu Hei will be my archenemy, Li Yuanba!"

  Wang Ting left, she knew that Li Yuanba was now a powder keg, and anyone who dared to provoke him would be left with no bones remaining!

  Liu Hei Tian, hiding in the Shandong border, received the news but expressed disdain and indifference, for he had long staked his life on the path to dominance, and his name was already listed among those who would die!

  News spread throughout the land, and there were always those who were not afraid to die! Among them, the Turkic Ashina Helu Khan was a representative. After Liu Heita stabilized his own territory, he defected to the Turks! Due to his own legendary rise, Zhengtian Sect had never been able to determine his exact position. Until July, Liu Heita followed the Turks in attacking Tang and arrived at Dingzhou (now Ding County, Hebei). His former generals Cao Zhan and Dong Kangmai escaped to Xianyu (now Zhengding, Hebei) after Liu Heita's defeat and gathered their old troops to respond to Liu Heita. Emperor Gaozu of Tang appointed Prince Huaiyang Li Daoxuan as the River North Military Governor to lead a campaign against him. Liu Heita captured Yingzhou and killed its governor Ma Kuangwu. The people of Yanzhou, led by Ma Junde, surrendered their city to Liu Heita.

  "Turk? Haha!" Li Yuanba, who had been waiting for news in the Chang'an government, laughed! This is a chaotic world, no matter how much bloodshed can't stop people's desires! Can't stop it, just don't stop it, as long as it's against me, Li Yuanba, kill them all!

  Li Yuanba picked up his big hammer and walked out of the mansion, where he met Wang Ting's scout who had come to report: Liu Heita was now in Xiabo (now Shen County, Hebei Province).

  "Fourth sister, third brother I am unstoppable in killing! You wanted to hold third brother's child, it was a mistake from the start! Third brother I am destined to have no descendants, so no matter how many people you kill, third brother is not afraid! Today I came to see you, just to tell you that third brother will take revenge for you today. People say that when someone dies, even if they killed the other person, what can be done? Hehe, these are all excuses! I don't need any excuses, taking revenge is taking revenge, repaying kindness with resentment will never appear in third brother's dictionary! You wait for me to bring their heads back to see you! And my two wives, I hope we can be together in the next life..." Li Yuanba walked out of the mountain valley where his three relatives were buried, and strode down the hill with abandon.

  In late July, Liu Heita stood on the observation deck, looking at the large army below with a spirited and vigorous attitude. He never thought that today would be the worst nightmare of his life!

  The scorching sun at noon recklessly releases its heat, unaware that the dark clouds drifting from afar will completely block its energy!

  "I'm telling you, Liu Shisan, look at me now, I've almost recovered from my previous losses. Why are you still frowning?" Liu Hei'an said somewhat displeased to his younger brother Liu Shisan.

  "Big brother, I've heard the news that Li Sancai has already left Chang'an and will be coming to find us for revenge soon! Although you have advanced to a divine level now, but to him, you are still not even worth a single blow. Aren't you afraid at all?" Liu Shisan asked with doubt.

  "Haha, Shisan, you're overthinking! Since I've embarked on the path of contending for hegemony, I've long abandoned life and death! Now that I've advanced to the Mythical stage, I won't learn from the likes of Chu Guo Gong and follow some Jianghu rules! He may be formidable, but he's still just one person. I have a large army at my disposal, plus my Mythical powers and all of you, I really don't believe we can't exhaust him to death! In the past, those forces didn't even have a single Legendary warrior... now... Hmph!

  Liu Hei Yan was not impressed by the rumors. Why didn't Li Yuan Ba come himself back then? He sent a woman to conquer, and if I hadn't fallen for their trick, I might have taken down Chang'an! Moreover, in life, being timid and fearful will never achieve great things..."

  "But at first Xue Ju, the Overlord...". Liu Shisan's words were cut off by a loud shout.

  "Liu Hei, today I will slaughter your entire family!" Li Yuanba charged onto the campus, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. This loud shout only echoed throughout the entire campus after Li Yuanba had killed nearly a thousand soldiers with his hammer. The terrifying impact of the chaotic tide behind him suddenly surged forward for thousands of meters, causing countless deaths and injuries!

  "Li Yuanba?! So fast! Hmph, but today I'll let the world know that you're just a nobody who's at my mercy! Someone above the Sect Master is joining forces with me to kill you!" Liu Hei Tian recovered in an instant and brought over a thousand high-ranking experts to charge straight for Li Yuanba in the army.

  Across the crowd of thousands, Liu Hei Tian swung his giant axe from high above and chopped down at Li Yuan Ba! Li Yuan Ba's twin hammers flew horizontally, until the giant axe was about to land on him. With a fierce smile, he shouted: "Come and die!" His right hand hammer instantly lifted up the giant axe, as the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the entire arena!

  Liu Hei Tian never thought that someone would have such enormous power. The giant axe was blown to pieces, and he was covered in them, blood splattering everywhere without cost, severely injured and falling hundreds of meters away, injuring many soldiers who fainted! Li Yuan Ba held back his strength, he wouldn't let Liu Hei Tian die so easily! Although smashing people with a large hammer is enjoyable, it still can't compare to the thrill of personally tearing apart an enemy! Li Yuan Ba's twin hammers flew out of his hands and pierced through the army, landing on the edge of the school field! The legendary master who came with Liu Hei Tian saw that Li Yuan Ba had thrown away his weapons and thought he had the chance to kill him, recklessly swinging various weapons towards Li Yuan Ba!

  "Hah!" Li Yuanba sneered, completely ignoring the chaotic attacks, his hands wide open, either grasping or poking, sweeping or chopping. Every part of Li Yuanba's body was a deadly weapon! Any place that came into contact with him would be crushed to powder by his overbearing power! The two combatants, their eyes red with excitement, didn't notice that the scorching sun in the sky was also afraid of the slaughter on the ground, hiding behind the dark clouds and not letting out a single ray of light.

  The dark sky and the endless slaughter formed a real hell on earth! The heavy rain poured down, awakening the soldiers who had not yet died. Seeing his commander's younger brother being crushed by that devil, he was frightened! Looking again at those so-called legendary masters who were dying one after another, the commander fainted, and the remaining large army collapsed! More than 10,000 people scattered and fled, and Li Yuanba couldn't find Liu Hei for a while.

  But don't worry, Li Yuanba wants Liu Hei to flee everywhere! Wherever he flees, he will kill wherever he goes, and he wants to see if there is anyone else who dares to help him!

  "Hmph, it's better to escape to the Turks then. At that time, I'll settle all of you at once!" Li Yuanba slowly picked up his twin hammers and walked out calmly!

  Li Yuanba let Wang Ting continue to investigate Liu Hei's whereabouts, and slowly followed in the direction.

  Liu Hei woke up and was filled with resentment towards Li Yuanba: "Li Yuanba, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off! Go, go to the Turkic Ashina Helu Khan, I want to borrow troops again. If I can't kill him, I'll make sure everyone around him suffers!"

  In August, the Turkic Khan Ellig Qaghan launched an attack on the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu of Tang sent General Duan Dechang and Li Zihui, the military governor of Yunzhou, to defend against the invasion. Li Zihui was originally surnamed Guo and had been a warlord in Yulin, declaring himself "Eternal Joy King". He later surrendered to the Tang and was granted the surname Li for his contributions in attacking Liu Heita. Ellig Qaghan's 150,000 cavalrymen entered through Yanmen Pass (now Dai County, Shanxi) and divided their forces to attack Bianzhou and Yuanzhou. Emperor Gaozu ordered Crown Prince Jiancheng to lead troops out of Youzhou, while Prince Qin Shimin led troops from Qinzhou to attack the Turks. Meanwhile, Li Zihui rushed to Yunzhong to launch a surprise attack on Ellig Qaghan, while Duan Dechang hastened to Xiazhou to cut off the Turks' retreat route. In the capital city of Chang'an, Emperor Gaozu gathered his officials to discuss whether to negotiate or go to war with the Turks. Zheng Yuanshou, the Minister of Rites, advocated for negotiating with the Turks, while Feng Deyi, the Secretary of State, opposed negotiations and advocated for fighting first and then negotiating after victory. Emperor Gaozu adopted Feng's suggestion! However, man proposes but God disposes. Before the great battle began, Liu Heita joined forces with the Turkic army, bringing with him the fierce warrior Li Yuanba.

  150,000 cavalrymen were directly pierced by Li Yuanba, who was no longer willing to wander outside. Li Yuanba saw Liu Heita enter the formation of the Turkic cavalry and rushed forward with his head down, abandoning all attacking methods, ignoring everything, and crushing Liu Heita and the central army's Qaghan in a straight line, and then leisurely crashed out another bloody straight line back to Chang'an...

  The death of Yeli Khan led to the retreat of the Turks, and after that, the Turks were severely damaged in the struggle for the Khan's position and withdrew from the ranks of the strong contenders! Li Yuan took advantage of the situation and let the army attack the Turkic territory, killing blood flowing into rivers. For thirty years, the Turks did not think about recovery!

  Li Yuanba's straightforward and forceful personality also made the world more directly aware of how powerful Li Sanzhen's physical body was, truly a majestic and awe-inspiring sight!
