Chapter 287 One Against Six, Boundless Heavenly Might
Upon discovering that Li Yao had revealed their identities, the Sword Emperor, the Second Blade Emperor, and the others were filled with alarm.
Wenlong was filled with surprise after surprise. The meeting place he had chosen was extremely secretive. How did Li Yao know about it?
Moreover, and most importantly, he hadn't even noticed Li Yao's presence if Li Yao hadn't spoken.
This Li Yao is indeed unfathomable.
Therefore, he was even more determined to eliminate Li Yao to prevent future troubles.
At this moment, Wuming asked Li Yao directly, "Lord Li, some people say you want to usurp the throne. Is this true?"
Li Yao smiled faintly and said, "Yes."
His answer left Wuming completely bewildered.
Wuming thought Li Yao would deny it.
Moreover, Wuming felt that although Li Yao had the ambition to dominate the martial arts world, he was still upright and honest in his actions and would not do anything to usurp the throne.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao would publicly admit that he wanted to usurp the throne.
Li Yao's answer also surprised everyone else.
This Li Yao is too reckless!
When others plot to usurp the throne, they do so covertly and never admit it publicly. They only find a high-sounding reason, such as "purging the court of corrupt officials."
This Li Yao certainly has a unique style of doing things.
Wenlong was taken aback for a moment, then a smug look flashed in his eyes.
He quickly said in a serious tone, "Wuming, you heard it too. This traitor is ambitious and audacious. He openly plotted to usurp the throne. How can you speak well of such a wicked person?"
At this moment, Wuming's face looked very unpleasant.
After a moment of contemplation, he pleaded with Li Yao with a look of regret, "Lord Li, I have always respected your chivalrous spirit. Why would you commit such a heinous act as a usurper, ruining your own reputation?"
Li Yao said calmly, "The current dynasty is already corrupt and rotten. The people are living in misery under the rule of the current supreme martial arts master. Such a dynasty should have been overthrown long ago."
The nameless man stubbornly said, "The current dynasty is the legitimate one in the world. How can it be overthrown so easily?"
Li Yao said:
"What kind of utter nonsense is this about legitimacy? How did this dynasty come to be? It was nothing more than a coup d'état!"
As the saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
"Now, most of the land under my rule is thriving, and I have won the hearts of the people."
"Overthrowing the old dynasty and establishing a new one is the will of the people."
After hearing Li Yao's words, Wuming fell silent.
He knew that Li Yao's words were not untrue.
He had long noticed that wherever Li Yao controlled, the people's lives were getting better day by day.
In contrast, the people in the areas controlled by the dynasty were living in misery, and their lives were getting worse day by day.
This shows that Li Yao was indeed a very rare martial arts overlord.
That's why he had previously tried so hard to speak well of Li Yao.
Wenlong noticed something was amiss and quickly rebuked him, "Traitor, you mustn't distort the truth and mislead people. The current supreme leader of the martial arts world loves the people like his own children and treats the virtuous with respect. How can you be allowed to slander him with such malicious words?"
Li Yao looked at Wenlong and chuckled softly, "Wenlong, you hypocrite, do you think no one knows about your schemes and tricks?"
Wenlong's heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to remain calm and said, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
Li Yaodao:
"In fact, you had already foreseen the secrets of heaven and knew that a great calamity was about to befall China, so you deliberately gave the throne to your younger brother."
"Then you hide in the shadows, waiting for your chance to strike. After the great calamity, you step forward, win the hearts of the people, and take back the throne that belongs to you."
"You've got a really clever plan!"
These words caused an uproar at the scene.
If what Li Yao said is true, then Wen Long is too insidious, actually using his own brother as a shield.
Wenlong immediately panicked.
He never expected that Li Yao would know this secret, and he was even more surprised that Li Yao would expose his plan in public.
However, he was once a supreme martial arts master and had experienced many trials and tribulations.
Therefore, he was able to maintain his composure and speak with righteous indignation:
"You're making baseless accusations. I've always acted with integrity and have a clear conscience."
"You traitor, in order to usurp the throne, you are turning black into white and bewitching people. Your intentions are truly wicked, and you deserve to die a thousand deaths."
"What are you all waiting for? Let's attack together and kill this villain!"
Unfortunately, his words did not receive a response from the First Evil Emperor and others.
However, as a member of the royal family, the Sword Emperor naturally sided with Wen Long.
Sword Emperor shouted, "Traitor, stop spouting nonsense and distorting the truth!"
Then, he looked at the First Evil Emperor and the others and said, "Everyone, you all come from righteous sects. How can you be misled by this traitor? The current dynasty is the rightful ruler of the world, and the current supreme martial arts master is a rare enlightened ruler. Let us join forces to kill the traitor and eliminate evil to protect the righteous path."
At this moment, Wuming hesitated for a moment and said to Li Yao, "Lord Li, I respect your character and talent, but if you insist on usurping the throne, I can only stand on the side of the current dynasty."
Wuming owed the royal family a favor, a favor he couldn't refuse to repay.
Hearing Wuming's words, Wenlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Nameless stands on their side, their fighting power will be greatly enhanced.
When the First Evil Emperor, the Second Blade Emperor, and others saw that Wuming had decided to stand on the side of the current dynasty, they all echoed Wuming's sentiments.
As Wuming's servant, Fengwu naturally followed Wuming's lead.
When Wenlong saw that all the powerful people he had recruited had chosen to stand on his side, his confidence soared.
He looked at Li Yao with a sneer and said smugly, "Traitor, you've seen it too. This is the true will of the people. I advise you to surrender obediently. I can even plead for you before the supreme martial arts master and leave you with a whole corpse."
Li Yao shook his head slightly and sighed, "Since you are so ignorant of your own mortality and insist on opposing me, then let's stop talking nonsense and fight. Come at me all at once, so that I won't have to deal with you one by one."
"You audacious madman, prepare to die!"
Sword Emperor roared and swung his sword to attack Li Yao.
"I'd like to see just how good you really are!"
The Second Blade Emperor drew his Famous Blade and attacked Li Yao as well.
He has always been unwilling to be second best and has always wanted to be number one.
Therefore, when Wuming talked about how powerful Li Yao was, he was very unconvinced.
"I'll join in the fun too!"
The Third Pig King chuckled, wriggling his fat body, and joined the battle.
The First Evil Emperor glanced at Wuming, and then joined the attack on Li Yao.
Wuming hesitated for a moment, then drew his Hero's Sword and joined the battle.
Feng Wu followed closely behind, surrounding and attacking Li Yao.
When Wenlong saw everyone ganging up on Li Yao, a smug look appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "Damn Li Yao, you're doomed this time."
The other members of the royal family were also gloating, believing that Li Yao was doomed this time.
Faced with the siege of Wuming and others, Li Yao's fighting spirit soared.
With a flick of his wrist, the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand. Immediately, the sword flashed like a dragon, and he engaged in a fierce battle with Wuming and the others.
The golden sword light swelled in the wind, a domineering and majestic power, carrying a sharp and fierce sword edge, coiling towards Wuming and the others.
The majestic and domineering sword aura, and the decisive and ruthless will to kill, constantly impacted the minds of Wuming and the others, causing them to feel a sense of panic.
Faced with Li Yao's fierce and unparalleled offensive, Wuming and the others had no choice but to use their respective ultimate moves.
Wuming unleashed the intangible mysteries of the supreme sword path, transforming them into a sword domain, with countless soaring sword energies rushing towards Li Yao.
The Sword Emperor then unleashed his self-created Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, a sword technique he modified from the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, a sword technique that could be practiced without having to abandon one's own martial arts, and whose power was extremely strong.
The First Evil Emperor was no less formidable, using his feet as blades to unleash countless sharp sword lights.
Not to be outdone, the Second Blade King unleashed the full power of the "Seven Deadly Sins of Love".
The Third Pig King also unleashed his ultimate technique: the Creation Blade.
Feng Wu nocked an arrow and drew her bow. A flash of golden light appeared, followed by a whooshing sound as a dazzling golden light, like a soaring golden phoenix, hurtled towards Li Yao.
...
One after another, attacks, some sharp, some powerful, some domineering, came crashing down on Li Yao, overwhelming and densely packed, chilling everyone to the bone.
Seeing such a dense and determined offensive, Wenlong and the other members of the royal family were all excited, feeling that victory was in their grasp and that Li Yao was doomed.
However, the next moment, they suddenly felt an immeasurable divine might emanating from them.
Their smiles froze on their faces.
Even their limbs were no longer able to move.
To their horror, they discovered that the Sword Emperor's sword was frozen in mid-air, completely motionless.
The First Evil Emperor also paused in mid-air, still in the motion of kicking out.
The Second Sword King continued his frantic sword-wielding spree.
The Third Pig King's fat and heavy body actually stopped in mid-air and couldn't fall down.
The Phoenix Dance Arrow that Feng Wu shot had already reached Li Yao's front, but it froze in mid-air.
The world seems to have been frozen.
