Chapter 72

Confident people are always very charming, of course, the face of the Emperor Wu Xiang, which resembled a pancake, clearly had nothing to do with charm. However, the increasingly overwhelming aura made Ling Lingfa and his master Ling Xiao feel uneasy. They did not act rashly, being cautious.

Everyone stood there in a stalemate. Emperor Wu Xiang did not know the power of the machine gun, but his previous boasting left everyone with lingering fear. What surprised Ling Lingfa and the others was his bizarre confidence; he just knew he would win, without any reason or logic! Why? Could there be some earth-shattering move?

Ling Lingfa and Ling Xiao were not the type to hesitate or overthink. If they couldn't figure it out, they would fight to understand!

"Machine gunners, prepare!" Ling Lingfa raised his hand and shouted. Ling Xiao moved to the side, and when Ling Lingfa's arm swung down, a rain of bullets would tear all the enemies to pieces!

Three guards stood behind the machine gun, one hand on the crank. It was actually driven by a crank! Ling Xiao felt as if ten thousand grass mud horses were galloping in his heart. In this world of black technology, where even pistols could channel internal energy, they were still using human power to crank it!

Shaking his head, he looked at Emperor Wu Xiang, his heart suddenly sinking. The old man actually stood with his hands behind his back, looking as if he was ready to be attacked. To be so confident at this moment, he must have a trump card?

Just as he was about to warn, it was already too late!

A shrill scream, a sky full of shredded bodies, a towering figure glowing with golden light, and machine gun parts scattered everywhere!

"You... What are you doing!" The emperor looked at the muscular man emitting a golden glow in terror.

The emperor received no answer. Ling Gong only glanced at him indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if looking at an unimportant dead man!

"Ha ha ha! You didn't expect this! Your plan from beginning to end was already known to me! It's rare for the emperor to leave that impregnable palace, so why would I stop him!" Emperor Wu Xiang laughed triumphantly.

Ling Lingfa looked deeply at Ling Gong, then turned to Emperor Wu Xiang and said, "What a clever counter-strategy! I was the one who probed you! You are the true shadow emperor!" Then he asked Ling Gong, "Who are you? To assassinate the emperor, you must have gone to great lengths, lurking by the emperor's side for so many years. You must know everything about the palace!"

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Lingfa strangely upon hearing this. Of course, they were spies of the Jin Kingdom! What was there to ask? Could he not have thought of this?

Ling Lingfa ignored Ling Xiao's strange gaze and continued, "How did you infiltrate the Bao Long clan? What about the real Ling Gong?"

Ling Gong looked directly at Ling Lingfa and said, "In the Bao Long clan, I despise you the most! Who knew you would ultimately ruin my plan! I must admit, the Bao Long clan has some tricks. I believe you have already guessed, it was me all along, you never met the real Ling Gong!"

The emperor heard this and screamed, "Impossible! The Bao Long clan's token cannot be replicated!"

Ling Gong sneered, "I wonder how such a naive person can rule such a vast territory! There is nothing impossible in this world, it just depends on whether you can find a way!"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes. Indeed, very naive. The human ability to copy things cannot be underestimated! He remembered watching a movie with his boss in a past life, about the end of the world when the world built three arks in China. At the time, his boss scoffed, saying that with the Chinese ability, they would build a hundred or more!

"What's the point of saying so much to them? They are just stalling for time!" Emperor Wu Xiang laughed, but his body showed no signs of urgency, as if he wasn't worried at all.

Ling Gong laughed indifferently, "No need to rush, his so-called reinforcements have already been blocked by our forces!"

Ling Lingfa's heart sank. Seeing the two of them so confident, he feared the reinforcements were no longer reliable!

He sighed and said to the emperor behind him, "Your Majesty! We have been master and subject, today I, Ling Lingfa, will protect you! If I die in battle, we will all go to the afterlife together!"

The emperor looked at Ling Lingfa with a bitter smile, not knowing what to say. Ling Lingfa then turned to Ling Xiao and said, "You killed the wife of Emperor Wu Xiang. Although he may be happy, he won't let you off! If I don't die this time, I will tell you everything. If you are willing, you will be Ling Lingfa!"

"I don't want to! Damn, it sounds like a wedding vow! Don't retire so quickly! Besides, it's too early to raise the death flag, we still have hope!" Ling Xiao shouted, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Hope? Ha ha, two against two! It's a fair match!" Emperor Wu Xiang sneered.

"Shut up! Pancake face, not even a bit of green onion, trying to choke us to death! Do your parents know you're so hungry?" Ling Xiao retorted instantly.

"Looking for death!" Emperor Wu Xiang roared and struck with a palm, the intense energy blowing Ling Xiao's hair and making him feel suffocated!

Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords echoed throughout the hall, a sharp sword energy piercing toward Emperor Wu Xiang's palm!

The sword energy had not even reached him, but Emperor Wu Xiang already felt a sharp pain in his palm, forcing him to withdraw his palm and retreat! He saw a middle-aged man in black armor with a serious expression.

"Capture God!" Ling Gong frowned and asked, "Why are you here? Since the last incident, the emperor has lost trust in the Six Fans. I remember this operation was not told to you!"

Capture God did not answer, holding his sword and standing beside Ling Xiao, protecting the emperor behind him. Ling Xiao said smugly, "Since we returned from the Jin Kingdom, I have suspected you. But since you didn't kill the emperor for so many years, I didn't pay much attention. But with doubts, I couldn't just ignore it. You all know that I don't get along with Capture God, so you wouldn't think I would seek his help!"

Ling Gong looked deeply at Ling Xiao, "What a smart person, Ling Lingfa has found a good apprentice! It's a pity you are too bound by those ancient rules. If you had told Ling Xiao everything earlier, he might have seen through me!"

"It's not too late!" Ling Xiao coldly said, though he was really curious, but he wouldn't ask if his master didn't say.

"Three against two! The outcome remains the same!" Emperor Wu Xiang looked at Capture God and laughed contemptuously.

Ling Xiao's face was serious, "How do we fight?"

Capture God looked at Ling Lingfa, who stared at Ling Gong with red eyes, "Emperor Wu Xiang's martial arts are too bizarre, Capture God, be careful! Ling Xiao and I will clean up the house!"

Ling Xiao frowned, worried, "It's too narrow here, and there are too many people. Fighting Ling Gong in close combat is too disadvantageous!"

"Find a wider place."

"How do we lure him there?" Ling Xiao was puzzled.

"He will come." As he spoke, Ling Lingfa's clothes burst, and a pair of wooden wings unfolded. Flapping them, a strong wind arose, and he shot up through the ceiling to the roof.

Ling Gong coldly snorted, using the pillars in the hall to leap onto the roof. "He really went there!" Ling Xiao's mouth twitched, looking at Capture God and Emperor Wu Xiang still confronting each other, he reluctantly took a ladder and slowly climbed up to the roof, with no one stopping him.

Ling Lingfa was not a high-level expert like Capture God, who would test each other's patience before fighting! Just as Ling Xiao climbed halfway up the ladder, he heard gunshots from above. His face changed, and he hurriedly climbed faster. On the roof, he saw Ling Lingfa using the mobility provided by his wings to circle around Ling Gong, firing his gun.

Ling Lingfa's pistol was clearly improved, with more bullets and a smoother firing rate, almost like a submachine gun!

Bronze Horse Charge!

Ling Gong's legs, glowing with a golden light, instantly spread in front of him. The bullets collided with his leg shadows, sparking! Each leg shadow was powerful, with no feints!

"Who would have thought Ling Gong's lightness skills are not great, but his leg techniques are so swift!" Ling Xiao praised, drawing his pistol and firing at Ling Gong's head.

Bronze Statue Armor!

Ling Xiao naturally missed, but Ling Gong roared and headbutted the bullet! Clang! The sound of metal clashing, sparks flying!

"Ah! Shameless! Your head is harder than a bullet! Why don't you shave your head and study Buddhism with Fo Yin!" Ling Xiao shouted in anger.

"Don't rush! The most powerful parts of the Bronze Statue technique are the head, hands, and legs! The torso, though also well-defended, is not bulletproof!" Ling Lingfa shouted loudly.

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, with my shooting skills, the torso is hard to hit too!

Perhaps angered, Ling Gong suddenly lunged at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao was shocked; just climbing onto the roof, stepping back would mean falling off. He was suddenly in a desperate situation!

Ling Lingfa was frantic, firing three shots at Ling Gong's back. But this move to save him did not work.

Bronze Armor Flying Punch!

Ling Gong flew horizontally, spinning in the air, kicking away all the bullets with his legs, and his fists, carrying a spiral force, continued to strike at Ling Xiao!

"Little Ling!" Ling Lingfa's eyes were wide with anger, wishing he had another pair of wings, but Ling Gong's fists did not give him the chance.

Ling Xiao's mind was racing, there were ways to block or dodge the punches, but all had their drawbacks.

He could leap backward, naturally dodging as he fell off the roof, but he didn't know Ling Gong's style. If he continued to attack while falling, Ling Xiao would have no way to avoid it in mid-air.

He could also draw his sword and cut him, but drawing a sword was a skill, and with Ling Xiao's level, his head would be smashed before the sword was out of the scabbard!

So, he could only face the punches head-on!

The metal-gleaming steel fists pressed down fiercely, and Ling Xiao met them with his own fists. A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Gong's eyes, and he sneered, adding more force, intending to turn Ling Xiao into minced meat!

Bang! Clang!

The fists met, and Ling Xiao felt a powerful force surge, as if hitting a steel shield! His hand bones and forearm were numb! His body involuntarily flew backward and fell off the roof.

Ling Gong looked at his hands with a serious expression, the force was mutual, and the powerful force also made his hands slightly numb.

Just as Ling Gong was slightly stunned, Ling Lingfa flapped his wooden wings and quickly flew to Ling Xiao's side, pulling him back up.

"Looks like you are a genius in external cultivation!"

Ling Gong's praise received no response from Ling Xiao, who was busy rubbing his hands and hopping in pain, with no time to respond.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sharp sword energy pierced through the roof, shooting into the sky, followed by angry shouts and the sound of explosions, causing the air to ripple!

The three of them felt a stir in their hearts. The fight below had started!
