Chapter 1098: Chapter 380: Heavenly Street Crushes Nobles’ Bones, Sweeping Across the Four Surnames and Five Prestiges (Five Unions)

The Seven-Star Sword has been damaged in its duel with the Netherworld Sword and is currently undergoing warming and nurturing repairs.

Therefore, Lei Jun currently does not have a particularly suitable magical treasure to use with his Primordial Magnet Flying Sword.

After all, with his cultivation further advancing to the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm and the Dual Polarity Heavenly Primordial Talisman becoming stronger, there are now very few magical treasures in the Great Tang’s human world that can withstand his mana and serve as "missiles."

However, after slaying Prince Zhao Zhang Teng earlier, the Zhenshi Blade fell into Lei Jun’s hands.

He is unable to condense Sword Intent or Blade Intent like Zhang Teng and Xiao Xueting, so he indeed cannot comfortably manage the Great Tang’s premier blade.

But...

Celestial Master Lei always has his own methods of weapon utilization.

Without flying swords, flying knives can suffice.

In response to Chu Xiuyuan’s enlightenment, Lei Jun descended from the sky alongside the three-layer altar formed by the Celestial Master Seal, pressing down on Elder Chu.

Chu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, placing his palm on the broken zither.

The three remaining strings on the zither snapped one by one!

Accompanied by the sound of the snapping strings, it seemed as if a tragic zither song was being played:

"Meteor Evening Mirror, beacon fires burn the night plain."

The Meteorfall Zither Song sounded, and intangible sound waves instantly became tangible, conjuring numerous fire meteors from the void that descended upon Lei Jun.

The black Yin Thunder Dragon coiling around Lei Jun’s body detached and merged with the Yang Fire Tiger that manifested in the cosmic starry sky through Celestial Chen True Fire.

Amidst the Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar, red and black converged, Yin and Yang in harmony.

As the Black-Red Taiji Diagram rotated, its brilliant light swept across, shattering the fire meteors brought forth by Chu Xiuyuan’s Meteorfall Zither Song.

Transformed by the Celestial Master Seal, the three-layer altar interwoven with purple, gold, and azure glows ultimately descended, suppressing Chu Xiuyuan.

The already overburdened Yi Yun Zither was covered in fine cracks and shattered completely on the spot.

Chu Xiuyuan himself had a charred black wound along his waist and flank, at this moment bleeding profusely, staining half of his body red.

Lei Jun himself accompanied the descent of the three-layer altar.

This time, no sound waves obstructed his approach to Chu Xiuyuan.

Under the gathering of starlight, the enormous Doumu Star God Dharma Image was gradually unseen, leaving only a great radiance converging on Lei Jun’s already towering figure.

Then, a punch was delivered directly.

Piercing through Chu Xiuyuan’s chest and abdomen.

Chu Xiuyuan’s formerly bloodless face turned rosy instead.

He coughed repeatedly: "Ultimately, the wave of creation rolls forward, unstoppable... the great force... hard to oppose."

Lei Jun calmly watched the elderly man before him.

Under the flashback, Chu Xiuyuan’s breath became much calmer.

He gazed at the young Taoist before him and sighed deeply: "Your master, Master Yuan, was right, Chongguang... Chongguang, alas!"

Lei Jun’s expression remained unchanged as he withdrew his arm from piercing the other’s chest.

The aged body before him slumped softly to the ground.

......

Outside the massive black sphere formed by the Taoist Sect’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene, due to Crown Prince Zhang Hui’s control of the Sheji Cauldron complemented by the National Fate Dragon Vein, the white light of the Illusory Imperial Capital grew even more intense, trapping all who were currently within the Capital.

Aided by the National Fate Dragon Vein and the Sheji Cauldron, Zhang Hui remained composed even when facing Ye Yan, who was in the ninth layer of the realm.

The Empress’s portrait had long vanished.

Such formidable power was naturally something that the current Zhang Hui could not control for extended periods.

But he had other artworks.

Thus, upon the unfolding of the scroll, a dignified man dressed in imperial robes appeared in the Illusory Imperial Capital.

Zhang Hui’s father.

The former Tang Emperor, Zhang Qilong.

Facing the former emperor, Ye Yan took a deep look and silently approached with his Verdant Brush and the Ye Clan’s Treasure of the Clan Great River Map.

The other members of the Qingzhou Ye Clan also surged towards Zhang Hui like a tide.

Under Ye Yan, the second in command of Qingzhou, Ye Jiong, was the first to act, drawing a bow and launching an arrow directly at Zhang Hui.

The other members of the Qingzhou Ye Clan wore cold expressions and charged en masse.

On another side, Lin Huan, engaging in magical duels with Shangguan Yunbo, waved her hand.

The current situation had markedly changed from before.

Previously, the Youzhou Forest Clan and the Cangzhou Ye Clan assisted Prince Zhao, battling the Qingzhou Ye Clan, Jingxiang Fang Clan, and Suzhou Chu Clan who supported Crown Prince Zhang Hui.

But now, they once again had a common enemy.

Lin Huan made a decision, issuing a command, not only to experts like Lin Liyu, Lin Xuan of the Youzhou Forest Clan, but also to the Cangzhou Ye Clan’s elders Ye Moxin and Ye Qi who had come to support them.

They were originally here to assist Lin Huan and others, yet Zhang Hui sealed the Illusory Imperial Capital, trapping everyone within.

Given the behavior of Lei Jun, Zhang Hui, Shangguan Yunbo, and others, if Lin Liyu, Ye Moxin, and others do not kill their way out, their fate is concerning.

The previously fighting Four Families Five Prestiges required minimal coordination to, at least at this moment, reunite to break through Zhang Hui and the Illusory Imperial Capital.

The internal strife between the Zhang Tang Imperial Family and the major noble households has likewise reached a critical junction.

All involved started to fight desperately.

"The situation is clear now; His Majesty may return at any time, at which point no matter how we explain or repent, we will be charged with high treason."

The usually most composed old Prince Zhang Yang was the first to speak: "Regret is useless, only united can we escape alive."

Prince Han Zhang Chengyu remained silent but was the first to take action.

Princess Chang of Dongping Zhang Wanrong, King Nanyang Zhang Zhi, and other royal family experts followed suit.

Shangguan Xiu, Shen Jun, and other noble experts gritted their teeth and had no choice but to advance together.

Princess Shanyang Zhang Ying, Weiyang King Zhang Zhen, Prince Zhang Xiang Luo, King of Huaixi Zhang Zhicong, and other Zhang Tang Royal Family experts, guided by Divine Strategy Army Grand General Shangguan Yunbo, guarded the perimeter of Crown Prince Zhang Hui, fiercely battling with Zhang Chengyu, Zhang Qiongrong, Shangguan Xiu, and other noble household experts.
