"Motherfucker!"
The might of the Body Integration great battle whipped up fierce winds in the cloudy sky.
As the words of Fei Heng atop the giant corpse dragon fell, Feng Tu's long hair whipped against his face, leaving him deathly pale.
Fei Heng stared at the Li family members, and the Li family members were all frowning.
Feng Tu instantly looked at the Li family members with heightened vigilance.
He understood now; Crown Prince Fei Heng wanted the Li family members to kill those of them who had come from Highsun City.
Crown Prince Fei Heng was at the Body Integration realm, and with the other two Body Integration experts currently fighting, no one present was Fei Heng's match.
If the Li family killed them, they would become Fei Heng's accomplices, and the events of today would never be leaked!
"Young friend Xinnian, Brother Yunbing?" Feng Tu called out, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Even the usually calm Zhou Chengli was deathly pale.
Aside from the collision of the two Body Integration experts' Spiritual power, the cloudy sky seemed eerily quiet.
Li Wei remained expressionless. Fei Heng was ultimately still considering some of their past ties, or rather...
"You are afraid that without our help, Nun Dairou will escape."
Li Wei's voice was hauntingly calm. "You are also afraid that we will escape."
Hearing the Ancestor's words, smiles surfaced on the faces of the clan members.
Fei Heng fell silent for a moment.
The corpse dragon was still absorbing the blood buried beneath the entirety of Shadowfell Prefecture, gradually growing larger.
Just floating in the air, it had already reached a thousand meters in length.
Hard scales grew on the blood-colored corpse dragon, which had already become a part of Fei Heng.
Every single one of these scales represented the life of a sacrificed cultivator from Shadowfell Prefecture.
After a long time, Fei Heng finally spoke: "Do you still not understand? It wasn't easy for me to reach where I am today. I made it from a place like the Imperial Capital to where I am today!"
His voice gradually rose in pitch.
"I did it. I became a Body Integration expert. I have the qualifications to contend against existences I once couldn't even face. The war here has begun; I will have more corpses, I will become stronger, until I am worthy of the Human Emperor's throne!"
"Help me this once, just help me this once, and I will become the Human Emperor!"
"I don't trust Min Tiange, but from beginning to end, I have trusted you. Ever since that day at Qilin Mountain, I have trusted you."
A hint of pleading entered Fei Heng's eyes.
"Help me. I will let you replace the Min Clan, replace Min Youguo. The world will be ours, and together we will create a more glorious Azure Dynasty."
...
Replace the Min Clan, replace Min Youguo.
Under one man, above all others.
This was something their Azure Cloud Li Clan had once dreamed of achieving.
Fierce winds blew the hair of the Li family members.
The cloudy sky was covered in blood beads, reflecting the sky in a deep red.
Fei Heng, transformed into a thousand-meter blood dragon, grew ever more massive, his Body Integration pressure suffocating.
The clan members remained silent for a long time, then exchanged glances, all revealing smiles before looking toward the Ancestor.
The Ancestor was also silent, clearly contemplating the grand blueprint Fei Heng had mapped out for their Li Clan.
Then...
The Ancestor's hands moved slightly, holding his stomach as he bent over, suppressing a laugh until the sound gradually grew louder, "Hahaha!"
Li Wei laughed until tears came to his eyes.
"What are you laughing at?!!" Fei Heng's expression was ugly. He had pleaded to such an extent, yet no one from the Azure Cloud Li Clan was taking his words to heart!
Li Wei continued to laugh, his voice echoing through the cloudy sky. Finally, having laughed enough, he slowly stood up straight.
"I'm laughing because you're a dumbass. Just like Bi Shihu and the rest of them, you're all dumbasses."
The Azure Dynasty did not yet have the word "dumbass," and the Li family members raised their eyebrows, finding the term novel.
"Every single fucking one of you acts like you've suffered some massive grievance.
Bi Shihu said he was forced by circumstances and had no choice but to be a deserter, claiming he should have been a general revered by millions.
Yun Hongcai said he was just a bit unlucky, doing petty thievery while genuinely believing himself to be a peerless genius.
And that demoness Dairou truly treats herself as a Bodhisattva, a grand Bodhisattva indeed."
Li Wei looked at Fei Heng with pity.
"You are no different from them. You just felt you had no other choice but to walk this path. I thought you could be a bit more open and honest about it."
"You..." Fei Heng gritted his teeth.
"Do you have any more nonsense to spew?" Li Wei let out a scoff through his nose.
"You all think your lives are so hard; who in this world doesn't have it hard? You think you had no other choice; who in this world isn't constantly making choices?
Insisting on framing this vile bullshit as some grand principle is nothing but self-comfort, a fig leaf to cover your own shame."
"Even when my family's Yaozu sneak-attacks and kills people, he doesn't spout as much bullshit reasoning as you do!"
Li Yaozu, whose face had been full of smiles, had his facial muscles twitch violently.
Even the other clan members pursed their lips, their faces turning red as they looked around left and right.
On the contrary, the few from Highsun City who were tense just moments ago cracked wide grins.
Dharma Treasures and spiritual items were revealed in everyone's hands.
The Yin-Yang fish diagram appeared beneath Li Wei's feet.
His expression gradually turned gloomy, and mirror surfaces appeared in all directions.
His body actually emitted Buddhist light. With the blue and silver twin spears in hand, he pierced through the air toward Fei Heng atop the thousand-meter blood dragon in the cloudy sky.
"You said we've changed, but you haven't. Even after farming in my Li Clan for three hundred years, you are still the same tyrannical Fei Heng from Qilin Mountain."
"Alright then, I'll help you change—into a corpse!"
Under the Buddhist light, Half-Step Body Integration!
"You..."
The people of the Li Clan charged at Fei Heng with killing intent.
Fei Heng was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned ferocious, and the corpse dragon roared, "Why must you force me?!!"
