Chapter 274 The First Empress's Hand
"Throughout history, those who colluded with foreign tribes have all been nailed to the pillar of shame."
Upon hearing that Li Shimin was still so stubborn even as he faced death, Li Jiancheng immediately laughed.
It was the kind of smile that went deep into your bones, a smile that made you want to kill the other person.
On the other side, Han Bei and the others, seeing Li Shimin's defeat, couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although they could leave directly.
In this situation, trying to free up resources to help Li Shimin is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
"it's all over."
Li Jiancheng raised his knife high and thrust it straight at Li Shimin.
Instead of the expected sound of flesh being torn apart, a metallic clanging sound rang out.
"who!"
An unusual phenomenon suddenly occurred.
Li Jiancheng scanned his surroundings.
But no one was seen.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment as he looked at the Imperial Seal of the State, which was shimmering slightly in his hand.
Immediately.
The Imperial Seal of the State burst forth with a dazzling light.
A phantom image appeared instantly.
This scene shocked everyone around.
"this......"
Looking at the phantom figure dressed in black, Li Shimin was somewhat incredulous.
On the contrary, Qiongqi was staring intently at the phantom as if facing a formidable enemy.
"It's you again. You've been dead for so many years, but I never expected that you would still have a backup plan."
"I have built upon the accumulated achievements of six generations to unify the world, constructed the Great Wall and erected twelve bronze statues to defend against foreign tribes."
"How can we tolerate you barbarians invading the Central Plains and causing widespread suffering across our land?"
"Qin Shi Huang".
Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw the illusory figure.
Even he was taken aback by what he saw.
"Young man, stand up."
The phantom of Qin Shi Huang spoke softly.
"Today, I will demonstrate to you the true power of national destiny. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your own understanding."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin forced himself to stand up.
"I will obey the First Emperor's instructions."
"The Imperial Seal of the State is the medium through which emperors of all dynasties communicated with the dragon's destiny. If one wants to unleash the true power of the dragon's destiny, the twelve golden figures and the inner fire are indispensable."
"Although I have stationed the Jurchens on the frontier, if they carefully observe and understand, they can discover the connection between the imperial seal and the imperial destiny."
"Do you know why you can't unleash Long Yun's true potential?"
Why?
Li Shimin finally voiced the question that had been nagging at him.
Why can't I unleash the true power of the same Imperial Seal?
"Dragon's fortune is the power of faith."
It is the power of millions of ordinary people coming together.
Only by having the people at heart can one unleash their full power. Furthermore, without the inner fire, its power will be greatly diminished.
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was speechless.
Doesn't he care about the people?
No.
However, relatively speaking, in Li Shimin's view, eliminating the foreign tribes or completely blocking them outside the pass was the most important thing to consider.
With foreign tribes blocking the way outside the pass, the people can naturally live in peace and prosperity.
But the other party said that this was why they couldn't exert their full strength.
It seemed as if they had seen through what Li Shimin was thinking.
Qin Shi Huang spoke again.
"Foreign races should indeed be stopped, and even killed. But only the people are the foundation of a nation."
"Young man, watch carefully."
He finished speaking.
The phantom of the First Emperor smiled calmly, and a long sword suddenly appeared in an instant.
From dozens of directions and across different territories, dazzling golden light burst forth, converging towards Chang'an City.
"this......"
Behind the phantom, a golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny suddenly appeared, transforming into a stream of light.
It was incorporated into that sword.
Looking at the scene before him, Li Shimin was somewhat dazed.
Meanwhile, powerful demons like Qiongqi were on high alert.
They all revealed their special skills.
"I possess a sword capable of slaying demons!"
As the words fell, the sword, imbued with the power of dragon's fortune and faith, descended heavily towards Qiongqi and the others like a colossal mountain.
Qiongqi and the other powerful demons unleashed all their techniques, and the two forces clashed.
A giant wave instantly swept across the entire venue.
With overwhelming force, the giant sword shattered the attacks of the powerful demons, including Qiongqi.
It landed heavily on the other person.
In an instant.
Qiongqi's body was instantly torn to pieces. Taotie was in no better condition, suffering severe injuries.
One more blow and he'll be dead.
Needless to say, those lesser demons were instantly obliterated with a single sword strike.
"This...this is impossible!"
Seeing Qiongqi killed by a single sword strike, and Taotie teetering on the brink of death.
Li Jiancheng immediately went mad.
How is that possible?
"The power of faith in later generations is truly formidable."
The phantom of the First Emperor chuckled softly, and his entire body became somewhat transparent.
If this were in his time...
One strike would definitely not be enough to kill Qiongqi.
Without him.
Although he ruled the world, everyone under him harbored treacherous thoughts, and their faith was completely different from that of this dynasty.
But this is for the best.
Having dealt with two powerful demons in one fell swoop, the alien race suffered a severe blow and should not be able to attack again for some time.
"Young people, remember this: this world belongs to the people. Everything must be done with the people first. Only in this way can the Chinese nation unite as one, and the power of faith play its proper role."
What is the fire of the heart?
Seeing that the illusory figure was swaying precariously, as if it would disappear at any moment, Li Shimin quickly spoke.
"When you find what you truly want to protect in your heart, the fire within will naturally ignite, or it may be passed down."
As these words fell to the ground.
The phantom of the First Emperor turned into wisps of dust, drifting away in the wind, as if it had never existed.
The Imperial Seal of the State fell to the ground from mid-air.
With the fall of the great demon.
The remaining strange beasts were also thrown into chaos.
They were thrown into a panic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Yaojin and his men fought fiercely and relentlessly.
Seeing the jade seal fall to the ground, Li Shimin bent down and picked it up.
"What I truly want to protect."
Li Shimin looked at the Imperial Seal of the State in his hand and murmured softly.
Then, to Li Jiancheng's astonishment, the crimson flame within Qiongqi's body...
It appeared out of thin air.
It was absorbed into Li Shimin's body.
Instantly.
A powerful and scorching sensation coursed through Li Shimin's body.
The burning sensation made one feel as if their internal organs were being scorched by fire.
"Li Shimin".
Seeing this, Li Jiancheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his face contorted in rage.
He picked up the long sword from the ground and thrust it fiercely at Li Shimin.
They wanted to drag the other person down with them.
next moment.
A longsword came flying and cleaved the longsword in his hand in two.
It was Han Bei, who had freed his hands, who stood in front of Li Jiancheng, maneuvering his mecha.
"It's your turn."
"It's you guys again!"
When Li Jiancheng saw Xuanwu, it was as if he had seen his father's killer; if it weren't for this thing...
Li Shimin will definitely fail here today.
But things didn't go as he expected.
Everything, everything, is because of these mechs.
