Chapter 561 Joy of Life 117

puff!

The sword tip mercilessly pierced Ye Liuyun's body, and the sharp sword energy entered his body through the wound. In an instant, it shattered all the meridians in his body with overwhelming force.

"Uh...uh..."

He let out a few painful whimpers, and blood gushed from his mouth, taking away his last bit of life.

In an instant, Ye Liuyun's body went limp and collapsed, then fell heavily to the ground.

Ignoring Ye Liuyun's corpse, Li Chengze turned around and swung his sword at Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing was startled and frantically began absorbing the vital energy (i.e., nuclear radiation) of Mount Da Dong. His domineering true energy condensed into a powerful force, which he then flicked fiercely at the longsword before him—

Ding--

The longsword trembled slightly under this great force, and a net-like crack appeared on its blade.

Li Chengze frowned slightly, flicked his wrist to perform a sword flourish, and with a "whoosh," he dissipated the force on the sword, leaving a deep crack in the ground.

"Father is truly still vigorous despite his old age!" Li Chengze smiled sarcastically, but in his heart he was even more relieved.

The Grandmaster is indeed powerful. Even though he had exhausted all his true energy, he was able to unleash such great power again after hastily absorbing some vital energy.

Fortunately, he chose the perfect time. The four Grandmasters were already injured, and he easily eliminated three of them. Now only Emperor Qing was left. Although he was not injured, he was also at his last gasp.

So we must strike while the iron is hot and finish him off!

Otherwise, once Emperor Qing recovers, he will be the first person to come after him.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze sneered twice, and once again slashed at Emperor Qing with his longsword like a whirlwind.

Before long, Emperor Qing was covered in wounds.

Emperor Qing watched as Li Chengze repeatedly used those same moves, and immediately understood. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Since you dare to commit such a heinous act as patricide, are you afraid of what the world will say? Every move you make is the Four-Looking Sword technique."

Li Chengze swung his sword fiercely again, his tone utterly innocent: "What ill intentions could I possibly have? I simply couldn't bear to part with you, Father, and wanted to say a few more words to you. If I had used my own techniques, you would probably be dead by now. How could Father not be moved by my thoughtfulness?"

Upon hearing such shameless words, Emperor Qing's face twitched with anger.

This unfilial son clearly wants to frame Si Gu Jian for his crimes after his death, yet he utters such shameless words.

"You murdered your father and usurped power; you will surely be condemned by the world!"

Li Chengze shook his head and said seriously, "That won't do! Your Majesty, I aspire to be a wise and virtuous ruler who will be remembered throughout history. How can I have such a stain on my reputation?"

As he spoke, he smiled slightly and raised his hand to make a grasping motion in the air.

Emperor Qing instantly sensed that the surrounding energy was uncontrollably separating from him.

Do not!

wrong!

It was as if an invisible barrier had suddenly appeared around him, confining him to a small area.

In just two breaths, he absorbed all the remaining vital energy within the barrier.

Emperor Qing was shocked and frantically tried to circulate his domineering true energy cultivation technique, but found that he still could not absorb any vital energy. At this point, he finally began to panic.

His anger just now was merely an attempt to lull Li Chengze into a false sense of security so he could escape.

But now he is isolated from the outside world by this barrier and cannot absorb vital energy. How can he escape the pursuit of this rebellious son?

Seeing Emperor Qing's rare moment of panic, Li Chengze finally dropped his pretense and rebuked him mercilessly: "You old fool! You think you can take advantage of me just because I've given you a little respect? Just because I call you 'Your Majesty,' you really think you're some kind of wise and benevolent ruler?"

"Look at the state of Qing Kingdom that you've governed! There's distrust between the ruler and his ministers, discord between fathers and sons, fratricide, and even incest between aunts and nieces."

"And you? You only know how to pretend to be profound and pretentious all day long! Then you secretly resort to some despicable means, without the slightest bit of the magnanimity and demeanor of an emperor."

"If it weren't for Ye Qingmei, how could you have become emperor?"

"It was Ye Qingmei who eliminated those two princes, giving you the opportunity to rise to power; it was Ye Qingmei who selected talented people from all over the country for you, used the enormous wealth of the Ye family business to stabilize the turbulent court, and then established the Censorate to monitor all officials for you."

"And what about you? What did you do? You did nothing! You used Ye Qingmei to gain everything, and then cruelly eliminated her."

"You desperately want to erase Ye Qingmei's existence, yet you can't leave behind the Supervisory Council and the Imperial Treasury she left behind."

"Admit it! You're a selfish, hypocritical, incompetent, and mediocre man from a poor background. Without Ye Qingmei, you're nothing!"

Li Chengze's incessant rant was like a thousand sharp swords, piercing Emperor Qing's fragile pride.

"you--"

Emperor Qing was so angry that his face turned purple, the veins on his hands bulged, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Li Chengze. He could no longer contain himself and let out a furious roar: "Ah!"

For more than a decade, Emperor Qing has been trying to erase any trace of Ye Qingmei's existence, which is perhaps also an attempt to erase the fact that he was dependent on others and rose to power by relying on a woman.

He had meticulously woven a magnificent veil to conceal his shame, but now Li Chengze had ruthlessly torn it off, completely exposing his despicable inner self. This humiliation drove him mad.

Emperor Qing was like an enraged lion, frantically mobilizing all the remaining power in his body and rushing towards Li Chengze without regard for anything else.

Li Chengze looked at Emperor Qing rushing towards him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Just then, dark clouds quietly gathered, obscuring the bright moon and starlight in the sky, plunging the whole world into darkness.

In the darkness, two figures clashed like ghosts, each collision producing a deafening roar.

After an unknown amount of time, a sharp "thud" rang out, the sound of a blade piercing flesh shattering the noise on the mountaintop, followed by a deathly silence.

A moment later, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moon reappeared.

The cold moonlight shone on Emperor Qing, illuminating his pale and tired face. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a deep sense of resentment.

Emperor Qing barely managed to lift his head to look at Li Chengze, a smile appearing on his lips. Against the backdrop of his blood-soaked body, the smile looked particularly eerie.

"You are my son, and you are inheriting my empire." Although Emperor Qing's voice was weak, a hint of pride appeared on his face: "So I was not wrong, I did not lose, I have indeed raised an unparalleled successor."

Li Chengze curled his lip: "Even at this point, you're still trying to comfort yourself? Keep calling me 'I, the Emperor,' don't you find it ridiculous?"
