Chapter Thirty-Four: The Price of Confession

  Three mythical peak figures can be said to have lost very miserably! One big move was not released and was smashed into a meat paste by Li Yuanba's big hammer, and two big moves were actually used on the opponent's flying weapon! Since Chu Bawang, this is the first time in history that three mythical figures have appeared who can rival the king. It is said that the moves are aimed at people or living things, but I have never heard of a big move aimed at the opponent's weapon!

  The four clashed, and the destructive power was astonishing! First, the gate of Li Yuanba's mansion was blasted into ruins. The three legendary attacks exploded on Li Yuanba's face, with a force that radiated 240 degrees from his face to the surroundings. Although most of it dissipated into the sky, the small part that hit the ground created a terrifying crater with a radius of thirty zhang!

  But compared to the big hammer's impact on Yang Su's two-person combo, it was a small matter! The big hammer's attack seemed to be easily deflected by Yang Su's move, but it created a massive crater like a fan, with surrounding buildings being reduced to powder by the shockwave! The buildings around Yuxu Lu's lower body were almost cut into fragments of varying sizes by the scattered energy, leaving a trail of destruction! Fortunately, Li Jiancheng had foreseen this and had already dispersed the people around Li Yuanba's mansion to other places. However, he still underestimated their destructive power, as the residents within 500 meters to 1,000 meters were all killed, with the extent of the destruction exceeding imagination! The last big hammer that Li Yuanba swung was a straight line that reached over 3,000 meters, simply a weapon born for destruction, leaving nothing intact in its path!

  Li Yuanba returned to the mansion, carrying his twin hammers and spitting out mud from his mouth as if he couldn't spit it all out. Li Yuan's mind was preoccupied as he returned to the imperial palace to rest, while the unlucky Li Jiancheng led a group of trembling soldiers to clean up the aftermath... Those powerful figures and Jianghu people looked at the tragic battlefield with a face full of collapse, speechless! However, someone saw Li Yuanba spitting something out as he walked, guessing that Li Yuanba was also not doing well and should have suffered a serious internal injury. As a result, rumors spread that only a legendary master could hurt Li Yuanba...

  Only in a chaotic world, and with the stimulation of even higher martial power, can the peak masters who have never appeared before emerge! Yang Su and the other two suddenly broke through to the Mythical level, as if an invisible hand was manipulating something, some people who were on the verge of breaking through advanced by leaps and bounds, while those who were about to enter the Legendary closed-door training mostly jumped two levels directly into the Mythical!

  With such a big commotion, Wang Ting was vaguely awakened once, and then fell asleep again, too tired...

  Yu Jü-ló's lower body and the other two people's flesh were collected and sent to their home, this is a respect for the myth! So the number of people who vowed to kill Li Yuan-ba increased slightly, but Li Yuan-ba didn't care! I won't provoke you if you don't come to provoke me, let's just get along; but if you must come to provoke me, then I'll send you down for free, and also provide a free door-to-door service!

  But Li Yuanba still underestimated the people of the world, not seeing that in later generations there would be such crazy people as human bombs. The world will never lack craziness!

  In July, King Li Shimin of Qin arrived in Chang'an. Shimin wore a golden armor, followed by twenty-five generals including Qi Wang Yuange and Li Shimin, with more than 10,000 cavalrymen behind them, blowing drums and gongs, to offer the captured Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and the carriages and objects of the Sui dynasty at the ancestral temple. Tang Gaozu blamed Wang Shichong, who admitted that he deserved to die ten thousand times, but King Qin had promised not to kill him. On July 11th, Tang Gaozu issued an edict to pardon Wang Shichong's death penalty, demoting him to a commoner and exiling him to Shu with his brothers, sons, and nephews. Dou Jiande was beheaded in the market. A few days later, Wang Shichong and his brother Wang Shiwen were killed by Dugu Xiu, son of Dugu Ji, and Dingzhou Governor Dugu Xiude at a post station in Fuzhou. An edict excused Xiude from office. Other brothers, sons, and nephews of the Wang family were also killed on their way to exile for plotting rebellion.

  Li Yuangui was very unhappy, the limelight he had captured for Dou Jiande was snatched away by his second brother who appeared halfway! Why? Li Yuangui found his big brother in a huff and complained nonstop.

  Li Jiancheng had not yet recovered from the previous war, and he weakly comforted Li Yuanji not to worry, as they were brothers. The credit would not be taken away by their father and placed on Li Shimin's head. As long as everyone knew in their hearts, that was enough! Li Yuanji nodded perfunctorily and walked out of his elder brother's mansion, turning around to head towards the mansion of his third brother, Li Yuanbao.

  "Third Brother is mighty! I've come to see you! This time, Third Brother's wedding was not attended by Younger Brother, and hearing about Third Brother's great exploits has truly enhanced the prestige of our Li family!" Li Yuangui excitedly congratulated Li Yuanba, who had a gloomy face.

  "How long has it been since you last came looking for me? What are you trying to flatter me with now?" Li Yuanba asked, occasionally rinsing his mouth.

  "Huh? Third Brother, what are you doing? Your internal injury hasn't healed yet?" Li Yuangui asked curiously.

  "Damn it! What internal injury? That day's mouthful of mud, I still feel weird in my mouth now... Drink, drink, drink, burp!" Li Yuanba rinsed his mouth again...

  "What? So that's it! But after all this time, you still have a strange taste in your mouth? Is it worth it?" Li Yuanyu didn't have much heart for Li Yuanba, after all, they had grown up together and spent more time with him than anyone else. With two brothers who were both wise and martially skilled above them, they didn't have any ambitions for the throne either. It was just that he loved to win and didn't want his own light to be completely overshadowed by them! Due to being born in such an era, history had deviated from its original course, and after getting married, they didn't often go out, nor did they have the time!

  To say that there are a few good people, but Li Yuanba is now invincible, who can look up to him? The time has come for only a few years, and so far, the only ones who can look up to him are his fifth sister and this Li Yuange, but it's just slightly closer than ordinary people. This is the sorrow of an era!

  "What are you doing here? You should be busy now, right?" Li Yuanba wouldn't believe that his brother came here to play.

  "Haha, I said I'd come see my sister-in-law for myself, do you believe it? After all, I'm the only one who hasn't seen her yet!" Li Yuangui said with a sly smile.

  "Get out! You must be kidding! Speak up."

  "Alright, I'll say it! Third brother, second brother is getting too arrogant, he's even stealing the spotlight from me! Look at how father favors him over us other brothers, it's like we're invisible! Especially you, third brother, your mansion doesn't even have a decent guard!" Li Yuanki spoke up for his third brother.

  "Oh, this thing! If it doesn't come, then so be it. Even if it did come, I wouldn't give it a second glance!" Li Yuanba's tone had a hint of unperceived loss in it.

  It's often said that in modern times, money is supreme, but actually, family ties are also thicker than in this era. Even if there are some exceptional families, they won't affect the overall atmosphere of family affection. Take those high-ranking officials and wealthy families for example, when something happens, it's usually their second-generation descendants who get into trouble, but their parents will go all out to cover up for them, ultimately leading to the downfall of the entire family - this also shows how much importance is placed on family ties in upper-class society!

  The most heartless imperial family, this phrase was intentionally thrown away by Li Yuanba many times, but like a maggot attached to his bones, it made Li Yuanba feel disgusted and annoyed, repeatedly reminding him of his fragile otaku heart! He had thought many times about using the big hammer in his hand to smash everything, but he could only helplessly let everything go. The invincible Li Yuanba tried to use slaughter to exchange for the arrival of kinship, but the throne blinded Li Yuan, leaving only a hateful disgust! Originally, he wanted to use love to comfort himself, but the people of the world took away his love one by one, leaving only a desolate and cold loneliness! This feeling made Li Yuanba feel like Dugu Qiubai, who in the end was accompanied only by a large eagle, and died alone in an unknown mountain cave! The price of invincibility is like a besieged city, those inside want to get out, while those outside try their best to get in...

  Li Yuangui could not have imagined that his intimidating third brother would have such thoughts, buzzing on and on like a fly about their father's favoritism and his own ambition to prove himself!

  Li Yuanba listened with a hint of envy to the fifth brother's nagging words, as if listening to his own heart repeatedly expressing its discontent and longing. For one day, the two talked and listened without any of their previous impatience. Until nightfall, Li Yuanba and Li Yuanki reluctantly ended their conversation.

  This day Li Yuanba didn't go to disturb Wang Ting, he sat alone in the yard looking at the sky thinking about something. Wang Ting also didn't look for Li Yuanba, she comfortably let out a breath, finally able to sleep normally!

  The next morning, Li Yuanji came again! When leaving at night, Li Yuanba asked Li Yuanji to come again...

  For five days in a row, Li Yuangui was summoned by Li Yuanba to chat, and Li Yuangui was about to vomit! Every day, it was him talking, while Li Yuanba didn't say a word but just listened. Occasionally, Li Yuanba, who seemed to be in a trance, would impatiently ask him to hurry up, or else he would serve him with force!

  Li Yuan repeatedly urged Li Yuanji to hurry to his territory, but as soon as Li Yuanba glared at him, no one dared to make another sound! Wang Ting slept peacefully for several days and finally couldn't help but complain that Li Yuanba didn't look for her at night. Li Yuanba's interest suddenly shifted to Wang Ting!

  On the sixth day, Li Yuanji reluctantly came to call on Li Yuanba, wanting to engage in another excruciating conversation.

  "Scram! Can't you see I'm busy?!" A loud shout came from inside the house, and Li Yuangui ran back to his territory with a look of relief on his face, tears streaming down his face. He secretly vowed that he would rather die than find Third Brother to vent his grievances again, it was too terrifying!
