C27 The Heavenly Blood Oath

"Great Dragon Head!" Lao Yao exclaimed and cried with joy. "Brother, we are saved, saved. . . But Liu Qianhu and Brother Meng. . . They. . . "

"Don't cry!" Tu Canntian roared, "They are brave men. They are all good men. " Tu Canntian's roar turned into choking sobs. Two lines of hot tears rolled down his face.

"Ah!" Lu Changkong raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar. Blood spurted out from his mouth in the air. Two drops of black blood essence passed through the blood mist, one went straight up to the clouds, and the other went into the Nine Underworlds.

Lu Changkong roared in a hoarse voice, "I, Lu Changkong, swear with my heart's blood that if I don't wipe out the entire Jade Cave Sect, I, Lu Changkong, will die without a complete corpse. Souls couldn't be reincarnated, they couldn't be dispersed. I, Lu Changkong, swear with my heart's blood and blood, that if I don't destroy the entire Jade Cave Sect, I, Lu Changkong, will die without a complete corpse. This oath can be seen through by the heavens and the earth, jointly supervised by Immortals and Devils. "

Lu Changkong's hatred soared to the highest heavens, and his resentment reached all the way to the bottom of the Nine Underworlds. In an instant, the weather changed, and all the Immortals and Devils arrived at the same time.

The sky was opened, and blood lightning descended.

The earth split apart, demonic flames raging.

The lightning fell, and the flames arrived. Lu Changkong could feel the power of the underworld guiding him to spread his arms. He let the lightning strike his left arm, and the fire burn his right hand. The lightning and fire shadows were on the verge of dissipating on his body. The lightning and fire retreated. The seven lightning prints on his left arm extended from the back of his hand to his shoulder. The five-colored golden flame on his right hand was deeply imprinted on his flesh and bones.

"Master!"

"Big Brother!"

Tu Canntian and Lao Yao both knelt down in front of Lu Changkong.

"Master, this is the Heavenly Blood Oath! If. . . If. . . "

The Heavenly Blood Oath uses blood essence to feel the heavens and earth. Once the oath is made, heaven and earth will leave a mark on the person who swore it. If he breaks the oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

"Twenty-nine brothers died for me. If I don't get my revenge, I, Lu Changkong, should be punished by the heavens and the earth. "

The Heavenly Blood Oath didn't make Lu Changkong's hatred dissipate in the slightest. Instead, the fury in his heart burned more and more fiercely. As he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, blood kept flowing out of his eyes. It triggered the evil aura that existed in the souls of countless heroes that were buried in the eight hundred mile tall Tiger Peak. Countless evil spirits were like fireflies that gathered in the night sky, rushing into Lu Changkong's mouth from all directions. His long hair started to turn dark red like blood in the blink of an eye, like a blood waterfall that had been left on top of his head. His pupils turned grayish-white from the bottom of his eyes. His originally energetic eyes turned gray. His fingers and nails grew by half a foot, like ten sharp swords stabbing into the sky. . . Even Tu Canntian and Lao Yao, who had seen his transformation, felt a chill on their backs after seeing his strange corpse transformation.

"Argh!"

Lu Changkong once again let out a wild howl. Tears of blood kept flowing out of his eyes. The Evil Dan inside his body was absorbing the evil energy and circulating crazily. In just a moment, it had become the size of a goose egg. The Qi that could topple mountains and overturn seas surged out of his body. The evil energy that erupted from his body had lifted up the land within two miles by more than twenty zhang. Even the huge treasure ship flew into the sky with a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas.

When the tears of blood flowed out, Lu Changkong looked again at the mountains and rivers of the red dust. Except for the blood on his brothers' bodies, everything else in the world had lost its color in his eyes. It had turned gray.

"Let's go!"

Lu Changkong picked up Tu Canntian and Lao Yao with one hand, then jumped onto the treasured boat and set sail. The dragon head drew a long shadow in the night sky. Lu Changkong was saying goodbye to his brother, who was buried in the dust, and also showing off to his enemies.

Yun Lei and the others who were not buried in Tiger Peak finally crawled out of the soil. When they saw the shadow left by the Great Dragon Head, they could not catch up. They were so angry that they were yelling and swearing that they would burn Lu Changkong's bones and scatter his ashes.

A few days later, Lu Changkong saw Southern Guarding Prince. However, the encouragement and comfort he gave Southern Guarding Prince had already turned into nothing. He just calmly handed over the yellow robe of Song Zu.

"General Lu, thank you for your hard work!" Before Lu Changkong's eyes, which were covered in wounds and had turned into ashes due to hatred, Southern Guarding Prince no longer needed to verify whether what he said was true or not. He comforted him, "You don't need to be too sad, as the saying goes, 'the jar never breaks from the well. ' General will inevitably die in front of the formation! The soldiers of Royal Guardian sacrificed themselves for Great Ming. Their deaths were worthwhile. I am both sad and happy. I believe that there is something under the Imperial Spring that I know. When you see how loyal and brave the soldiers of Great Ming are, you will surely laugh at them. "

Eunuch Hsiao also comforted him. "Changkong! That 'swift and decisive' cultivation base is not bad. In addition, they have the magical equipment of their sect. You can kill one of them and heavily injure two of them. This is already a great contribution. If it were the other commanders of the Twelve Guards, they would have gone. Don't worry, father-in-law will take revenge for you sooner or later. "

" There's no need! " Lu Changkong said coldly, "I have sworn a blood oath that I will personally wipe out the entire Jade Cave Sect. I will slowly settle this score with them. "

"A blood oath!" Southern Guarding Prince suddenly saw the flame mark on the back of Lu Changkong's hand and exclaimed, "A blood oath?"

Eunuch Hsiao's expression changed when he heard that. He pulled Lu Changkong's arm and looked at it carefully. He said, "Good. . . Good. . . Good. . . Good. I have lived for a long time and have never seen a few brave men like you. Do whatever you want. I will support you when the sky collapses. "

"Cough!" Southern Guarding Prince cleared his throat and said, "We must take revenge for the Royal Guardian, but eliminating the Jade Cave Sect is a matter of great importance. We should think about it carefully. "

"Hmph!" Eunuch Hsiao coldly harrumphed and turned his head away.

Southern Guarding Prince pretended not to hear him and continued, "General Lu has made great contributions this time, but I cannot reward you openly. In my opinion, you should rest for a few days. After you recover from your injuries, I have another important task. "

"Yes!" Lu Changkong understood that Southern Guarding Prince did not want to fall out with Jade Cave Sect so quickly. He definitely would not immediately express his support for his revenge. Furthermore, he had never thought of using the power of the Imperial Court to take revenge. Understood.

Southern Guarding Prince personally sent him to the door before he turned around and said, "Eunuch is too impulsive this time. What kind of big deal is destroying the Jade Cave Sect? If Lu Changkong acts recklessly, it will cause a huge commotion!"

Eunuch Hsiao snorted coldly and said, "The mixed families just like such a brave man. Say it yourself, those servants who have surrounded you before and behind you, usually wish they could call you grandpa, but when you kick your legs, how many of them can make a blood oath like Lu Changkong to take revenge for you? "

Eunuch Hsiao's mouth bumped into Southern Guarding Prince, and a trace of regret rose in his heart. He felt that it was a pity that he didn't have a brother like Lu Changkong.

"Lu Changkong is full of hot blood, and he is full of courage. It really moved the heavens and the earth. But, father-in-law, don't forget. . . If you have guts, you won't be able to restore the power of the Great Ming!" Southern Guarding Prince felt a great sense of regret the moment he said those words. He would definitely freeze the relationship between the two of them once again. He hurriedly interrupted, "Gonggong, who do you think Jade Cave Sect is snatching the sacred item for?"

Eunuch Hsiao did not want to argue with him. He took a sip of tea and said: "Kids, report that the Second Prince, Zhu Changshou, has been very close to the Jade Cave Sect recently. There is also news that he might have already secretly joined the Jade Cave Sect. "

"Oh!" Southern Guarding Prince frowned and said," The longevity child's birth date is also 95 fate seeds. Recently, there is a faint Dragon Qi on his body. Could it be that the Jade Cave Sect wants to nurture an emperor as their disciple, and then dominate the Great Ming?"

"The child with the longevity?" Eunuch Hsiao said without any consideration for his feelings. "The current Emperor, which is also your Imperial Grandson who was born with this Emperor's illness, you know better than anyone else. Which of the three sons and grandsons in the Imperial Palace are his sons?"

Eunuch Hsiao said as he tossed out a painting scroll. "Take a look!"

"This is?"

"Zhu Changshou's father, the Great Elder of Jade Cave Sect, Han Tianlieh. " Eunuch Hsiao held the cup of tea and said with a sneer, "Han Tianlieh hasn't left the sect for decades. Every time he comes out, he would leave behind such an evil seed. How could he not pamper him?"

Although Southern Guarding Prince's expression did not change, the trace of killing intent in his eyes did not escape Eunuch Hsiao's eyes. Southern Guarding Prince threw away the painting scroll and said, "Then what is the origin of the Witchcraft Cult that appeared earlier?"

"I don't know either. I have never heard of this Witchcraft Cult in the Great Ming. " Eunuch Hsiao disapproved and said, "However, the Witchcraft Cult sent eight or nine people, and they were still easily taken care of by Lu Changkong. I don't think they are worthy to be mentioned in the public. "

Of course, Lu Changkong's report hid the matter of him snatching the Sacred Fire Order and Houqing. If Eunuch Hsiao knew about Houqing's existence, what would he think?

"En!" Southern Guarding Prince nodded with a solemn expression. "Let the matter of Jade Cave Sect be put aside for now. Please take care of the overall situation and not support Lu Changkong too much!"

"That will depend on Eunuch's mood!"

Eunuch Hsiao put down the teacup and stood up to leave. He deliberately stomped on Lu Changkong's feet to hide his tracks.

Eunuch Hsiao walked out of the mansion for a while. He stopped at a quiet place and said with a cold smile, "You are quite bold! How dare you sneak back to the mansion and eavesdrop on our conversation? If it wasn't for Eunuch repeatedly covering for you, would you have been able to escape Zhu Heng's eyes? "

Lu Changkong slowly floated up from the ground and said, "Changkong, thank you, Eunuch. "

Eunuch Hsiao said coldly, "There's no need to thank me. I hope you can forget what I just said. It's not good for you to know too much about the royal family. "

"Changkong only met Eunuch when he was shopping, that's all. "

"Smart. " Eunuch Hsiao smiled and said, "You heard it just now. Zhu Heng doesn't want to fall out with Jade Cave Sect, so you should put your revenge aside for now. Don't let father-in-law get caught in the middle. "

"Changkong, listen to your father-in-law!"

"Gonggong likes smart people. " Eunuch Hsiao waved his hand and strode away.

Lu Changkong also walked in the opposite direction of Eunuch Hsiao, but he didn't return to the Royal Guardian's base. Instead, he sneaked into the Imperial Palace.

If the Jade Cave Sect dared to kill his brother, he would cut off Han Tianlieh's roots.

He lit the lamp and studied the Second Prince at night. He had no idea that the few guards guarding outside the palace gates had turned into a few corpses with blood oozing out of their seven orifices. They were leaning against the wall. They were still immersed in the cultivation method.

Quietly, the light in the room had changed. A winding black shadow extended from the beam behind him, like a python that had locked onto its prey. It quietly opened its huge mouth that was big enough to swallow the cows and sheep. At the same time, its greyish white pupils were fixed on the back of the Second Prince's head. . .

Suddenly, the assassin felt a killing intent rise up. The old mama who was sleeping beside the Second Prince suddenly opened her eyes. Her two sharp eyes were like lightning that shot out from the clouds, and the killing intent that shook the sky and earth was awe-inspiring.

"Not good!" Lu Changkong's heart skipped a beat. The golden light in the old mama's sleeves had already arrived. Lu Changkong put his hands together, palms facing outwards, and covered his face with his hands. The huge shock had already exploded in his ears. It was as if Lu Changkong had collided with ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder. He leaned back and crashed into the main beam of the palace, instantly lifting the entire roof of the shed into the air.

As the debris flew away, the old mama carried the Second Prince away. In the blink of an eye, she threw herself at Lu Changkong with her sword. In order to conceal his identity, Lu Changkong didn't dare to transform into a Bronze Corpse, nor did he dare to release a Spiritual Corpse to defend against the enemy. He could only use his movement technique to fight with the old hag, waiting for an opportunity to escape through the earth.

In just a few short exchanges between him and his wife, the shout of "Catch the Assassin" shook the entire Imperial Palace. Countless guards raised their weapons and surrounded the Imperial Palace.

"It's a cultivator! Quickly go and invite Eunuch Hsiao!" The captain of the guards saw two figures hovering in midair, their swords and claws coming and going, and they fought desperately. Knowing that they were no match for the assassin, he led his subordinates and surrounded the prince. He raised his sword and aimed at the light and shadow flying in the sky, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

The flying sword in the old mama's hand had changed from one to nine. The nine swords were flying at the same time, blocking all of Lu Changkong's escape routes. The bigger Lu Changkong was, the more shocked he became. He understood that the reason why his opponent didn't kill him after so long was to capture him alive.

"Should I release the King Corpse?" While Lu Changkong was weighing his options, four sword lights suddenly appeared in the sky. In order to hide his identity, Lu Changkong who hadn't turned into a corpse yet let out a loud roar. His claws grew bigger and bigger, and just as he prepared to fight with his life on the line, he was stunned again.

The smile on the old mama's face, who had the upper hand, also turned into anger - those four cultivators were not her reinforcements but assassins.

When the four of them were still several meters away from the two of them, the flying swords had already slashed at the old mama without a reason, forcing her to return her sword to defend against the enemy.

The pressure on Lu Changkong lessened, and he dodged two of the swords. His body suddenly moved, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he slipped into the earth. Following that, thousands of arrows shot at the position he was standing at, turning him into a hedgehog. "Dig. Dig. Dig three feet into the ground. Dig out the assassin! " The captain of the guards knew that he could not dig out anything. He had to put on a show and command the guards to dig the pits with their swords. It made the palace even more chaotic.

Underground, Lu Changkong thought to himself, "That was close!" He hurriedly escaped the imperial palace through the earth and stayed outside the imperial city for the middle of the night. Only when the sky was bright did he sneak back to Royal Guardian's station. He went into his bedroom to change into mud and clothes. He had just gotten into bed and had not yet closed his eyes. Eunuch Hsiao kicked open his door.
