539 Still the Saint King (1/2)

”... This is step one grade-9!”

When this exclamation rang out, within a thousand feet there was utter silence.

Wasn't that the case? With each step that Zong Shou took, one grade-9 cultivator would be slain on the spot!

Xuanyuan Tong was also at a loss. He knew that with the four thousand Blood Cloud Iron Cavalry, Zong Shou would definitely win this battle.

He also knew that his son-in-law was already really strong, but for a person to be this strong, it was unheard of.

Even as someone who had personally witnessed Zong Shou's shocking talents, he, who merged spiritual and martial arts when drunk, still found it unbelievable.

Worry appeared in Kongyao's eyes. East of the Cloud World, for such a strong country to appear with such an intelligent master, who knew if this was a blessing or a curse for their great Shang.

In her heart, she felt that it wasn't right. Using her bloodline's secret method, a wound appeared between her brows. Once again, she looked towards that mountain peak at the person not far away.

Her petite face instantly turned white.

She saw that with each step that Zong Shou took, threads of white energy from Heaven and Earth gathered around him.

This was obviously king's energy! Maybe Zong Shou couldn't feel it himself.

She knew that as Zong Shou got closer to the peak, each grade-9 cultivator he killed would cause the white energy to become thicker!

She could feel that the luck of the entire Donglin Cloud Continent was slowly gathering in Zong Shou's body! Slowly, he began to take on the shape of a dragon.

It was obvious that as his strength formed, a dragon body's was also formed! As long as he starts a country and worships the heavens, instantly, he would become the ruler of that country.

However, now it made her confused and lost. That king's energy was normal, shining without any impurity. It even became a little purer.

… It was actually Saint King Energy!

Kongyao had many questions that couldn't be answered, and she felt that she was unable to believe what she was seeing.

The Blood Cloud Cavalry had already massacred close to a million troops. The soldiers that scattered and given up were still slaughtered. Zong Shou was really violent and vicious. He wasn't kind or merciful at all.

How could he be the saint king?

She thought back to his majesty, always caring and thinking for his subjects, rewarding them with huge gifts.

He didn't mobilize the troops without important reason, and he had never loved to kill. Every time the northern and southern lands provoked him, he would suppress them. He took care of his subjects. He knew that wars harmed the finances and tired the people, and would create many casualties.

Every few years he would pardon the world, and pardon a few sinners. The world praised him as a really intelligent ruler!

How could he be compared to this barbaric man?

Was what Confucius said wrong? Was the true ruler's path to be a king on the inside, and a domineering force on the outside, rather than being a saint-like person on the outside?

How was that possible?

In the past, Emperor Shi of Qin conquered many lands, wasn't he an example? This person was domineering when he did things, but he died during the Second Generation...

After him, there were many emperors who used the word ”Wu” as their title. However, they had all caused the country to weaken due to their domineering ways.

Had the Heaven Path changed?

Her mind was totally confused, as all sorts of thoughts rose up. She only felt that she was about to go crazy.

Unbelievable, totally unbelievable! Something must have gone wrong within..

”As expected, none of the Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud World are weak! Dragon Shadow's disciple is truly amazing!”

Shui Lingxiao was in awe. Its as like she didn't know that Zong Shou was Tanqiu, and that Tanqiu had won against Jueyu with the sword a few months ago. Now, she shook her head and said, ”If our Seven Spirit Sect wants to reap some benefits, we can't let others say that we didn't do anything. Sect disciples, form the formation!”

With that, she rose up into the air. Threads of spiritual energy lines spread out from her body.

The cultivators of Seven Spirit Sect also rose up into the air. Lined up according to their cultivation, they accepted her spiritual network, and then more of these lines spread out.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

In only a dozen breaths, an even larger formation was created. Numerous spiritual veins and flying talismans were formed.

At this moment, Shui Lingbo pointed into the distance. She didn't cast a spell, or chant any incantations.

The body-protecting formation on the peak of Mysterious Cloud Mountain suddenly twisted, and a massive hole appeared.

”Not bad, not bad! It should be like this. Kill! Kill! Kill! Well slain! The disciple of my disciple should be so domineering against the world!”

In the air, Dragon Shadow laughed out loud in delight, his face showing a gleeful expression.

”What a good Blood Cloud Cavalry! Since he has such great troops, he should be more confident and swift. He could just wipe out those despicable people. Why did he bother to talk about right and reasoning...”

Suddenly his heart moved, and he laughed. ”That person finally couldn't take it anymore!”

Aokun's brows rose. ”Is it Wenxu?”
