Peace Order-Chapter 1478 - 137: The Return of the Strange Treasure, Snowstorm Falls
The massive body of the beast, as majestic as a bear, fell forward.
Both hands pressed on the ground.
Wrists snapped with a crisp sound.
As if in worship, as if leading a sheep, but the rope leading this slaughtered sheep was not one of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust, but the sword edge tempered from the gold and fire of the Central Plains.
The Thirteenth Khan said: "You, you...!!!"
"Who are you?!"
He saw the person standing proudly, surrounded by the illusory power of the Ancient Red Dragon, a terrifying presence, eyes coldly overlooking him, as high as the heavens.
A towering aura, as if emerged naturally from a hundred battles on the battlefield, pressed down overwhelmingly, making the Thirteenth Khan’s scalp tingle, his body stiff, lips trembled, yet unable to utter a single word.
Why? Why?!
This invading enemy, wasn’t he supposed to fight the Great Khan?
Why, during the battle with the Great Khan, did he abandon the Great Khan and come to attack me?
This makes no sense, right? Was it just because of those few words I said earlier?
But which mature king would start raging because of such words?!
Was it because I intended to perform the sheep ceremony, but Central Plains military generals would always provoke their opponents before battle to gain an advantage, this is something that military fighters must learn.
Or was it because I planned to attack Jiangnan?
But the Central Plains and the steppe have always been archenemies, isn’t it only natural for me to want to attack the Central Plains?
It couldn’t possibly be for that so-called Xue family’s young lady, right?
The Xue family’s gold and silver?
But how could the granddaughter of a mere merchant influence such a king?
The Great Khan frowned, knowing that this distance made it difficult for him to save, hence said: "He speaks wildly, but between nations, conflicts arise frequently, do you intend to kill a Khan for some reckless words?"
"Aren’t you worried that this act might trigger a dispute between our steppe in the Northern Border and your Central Plains, prompting our Iron Cavalry to descend south?"
"Sir, do you understand the grand trend?"
The voice of the Turkic Great Khan was solemn, each word carrying enormous weight, as if it stirred the Qi Fortune of the whole steppe, as if the entire heavens and earth of the steppe were pressing down.
Li Guanyi’s indifferent eyes turned towards him at this moment.
He gave no answer.
With a flick of the wrist, the long sword cut down, the blade of the Jiuli Divine Weapon, forged from gold and iron, sharp, and the head of the Thirteenth Khan fell, blood spilling onto the ground.
Executed!!!
The Thirteenth Khan clutched his throat, the former Turkic leader, who eagerly yearned to trample the Central Plains and Jiangnan, let out a low sound for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, motionless, vitality completely dissipated.
Even in death, his eyes carried a sense of unwillingness, filled with incredulous bewilderment, staring at the vast sky.
Turkic Great Khan: "..."
The sword forged from Jiuli Divine Weapon’s gold and iron pressed against the ground.
A crisp sword sound gently dispersed.
At this moment, the cold-eyed Lord pressed a single hand on the wide sword’s hilt, and said:
"This is the grand trend."
The Turkic Great Khan was rendered speechless for a moment, looking at the Thirteenth Khan’s body which was the same age, not too different, yet the disparity in air was immense, evoking only a feeling of lament.
Li Guanyi said: "If I didn’t kill him, would Turkic have no intention of heading south?"
The Turkic Great Khan couldn’t answer, he looked at the Thirteenth Khan’s body, after a long while, said softly: "...Unfortunately, I can’t lie, whether you release him or kill him, a man can’t disguise his ambition."
"I must conquer this world."
"I was born on this vast land, with a heart as broad as the sky, my compatriots diligently herding every day, yet unable to sustain all the clansmen, the heroes on the great steppe slaughter each other endlessly."
"But the best land in the world is occupied by you Central Plains people, I feel aggrieved, I feel you are unworthy, before death catches up with my steps, I must ride to Jiangnan."
The Great Khan’s anger faded as he beheld Li Guanyi before him, admiringly saying:
"Qilin Army, Marquis Qin Wu, truly possesses the demeanor of a monarch."
"Lord."
"Too young!"
Li Guanyi was not surprised that the Great Khan recognized his identity.
In the current world, among the Central Plains heroes, Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang were both known to the Great Khan, Chen Dingye was once his ally against Chen Country, and Jiang Wanxiang was a peer hero of the Great Khan’s era.
Apart from these two, who else could carry the Qi fortune of humans?
Who else could display such a demeanor?
Only Qin Wu of Jiangnan, Qilin, Li Guanyi.
The Great Khan said: "The power of the Red Dragon Dharma Form, truly lives up to its reputation, never expected our first meeting to be in such a manner." His eagle-like eyes stared at Li Guanyi.
Although the two spoke idly, a Qi Mechanism entangled them.
Subtly, there was a sense of confrontation.
A cold killing intent stretched endlessly.
He wanted to strike down Li Guanyi, but the earlier attempt already made him aware that in the current state, there was not much he could do.
But he understood the Shamanism of the steppe and also knew the mystical and magic skills of the Central Plains, understanding that such a state could not last long, he looked at Li Guanyi, and said: "You also want to conquer the world, someday when we meet again, I will kill you with the Thirteenth’s knife."
Li Guanyi also gazed at the Turkic Great Khan before him.
He too wished to harness the power of the Ancient Red Dragon, to take a ruthless chance, and eliminate this hero with tremendous hostility towards the Central Plains, but similarly, in Li Guanyi’s eyes at this moment, the Great Khan who nearly combined the roles of Emperor and Divine General was flawless.
