A sword light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the previously arrogant and powerful general of the Dragon Spear Army had been beautified.
He didn't even have the time to say "eh".
Who asked him to underestimate Sun Lang? Who asked him to think that he was lucky? He only cared about complaining to the Martial Arts Hall and ignored the killing intent.
On the way to Marquis Hengshan, he was only three steps away from Sun Lang, and that was the end of his life. Within three steps, Sun Lang was the Yama King who ruled over the life and death of mortals. If he wanted to kill someone, no one in the world could stop him, even if they were fully alert.
Moreover, no one would be fully alert.
The leaders of the Martial Arts Hall who came together were also war legends who had achieved great glory and glory in the Tianyuan Battlefield. They had rich combat experience and profound cultivation, but they inevitably fell into the wrong mindset. After all, they didn't know Sun Lang well enough. No one would have thought that under such circumstances, in front of the Martial Arts Hall's generals, Sun Lang would not hesitate to cut off the head of the general of the Imperial Court.
The head rolled, and the corpse knelt on the ground. There was no blood spurting out because the flame power of Ying Huo had burned the wound. In the night wind, the headless general was half-kneeling on the ground. The scene was strange and shocking. Everyone was stunned by this scene. They were shocked by Sun Lang's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
The remaining members of the Dragon Spear Army also cried out in grief and indignation. How humiliating and hateful was it that their general was killed? They clenched their weapons and were about to go up and fight with Sun Lang. However, the soldiers secretly raised their weapons. The flags of Shinto Province were fluttering, and the Imperial Army had quietly surrounded this group of remaining soldiers. The swords and spears were everywhere, and the Imperial Army was shining brightly. With one order, they could crush this defeated army into pieces.
Marquis Hengshan was also startled, then he shouted in anger: "Jia Ying!"
Sun Lang reversed his Holy Sword and extended its hilt forward, blocking Tian Zai's heavy punch. As the two forces collided, the air billowed, as if a gust of wind had risen from the ground. Facing his opponent's angry eyes, General Shentse said indifferently, "It's Sun Lang."
"I don't care what your name is!" Tian Zai shouted angrily. "Killing a Great General of the Imperial Court without permission, you are simply lawless!"
Sun Lang sneered. "I've said it before. You're trying to pull me into a fight. You're up to no good. You deserve to die."
"This is Houtu!
There were laws here!
There were rules in the army!
You were the one who said that! "
Tian Xiang shouted, "Even if he has committed a serious crime, he should be judged and punished according to the law. You shouldn't judge him privately and kill him at will. This is what you once advocated. Have you forgotten all about it?"
"Well said." Sun Lang stretched out his hand and adjusted Marquis Hengshan's collar. "Have you told the Emperor?"
Marquis Hengshan's angry expression froze on his face.
"I understand, I understand. After all, I only went missing, and my body was not found. The survivors kept their mouths shut, and you couldn't find any evidence. Without evidence, you wouldn't dare to speak rashly. Otherwise, you would be suspected of slandering the Emperor and tarnishing the great cause of fighting against the Sky Demon … Am I right?"
Sun Lang was still smiling. Then, he moved his head closer and lowered his voice. "But now, I've come back alive. Not only have I come back, but I've also brought back the truth and justice for the 300,000 innocent lives. They didn't have to die, and I didn't have to suffer those crimes. But it has happened, and it can't be changed. So, someone must be responsible for it. Do you understand?"
"So, General Tian, Marquis Hengshan, don't you talk about the law?
Don't you talk about the law?
I'll now summon all the officials to the palace to tell the story of the Great Barren Mountain. I'll mention the impeachment of the current Emperor of Houtu, announce his immoral actions to the world, and abolish his position as Emperor. Now, we have witnesses and material evidence, and the evidence is quite conclusive. There's only one question left — are you willing to uphold justice for me and the heroes who died in the Great Barren Mountain? "
"What do you think?
The most basic principle of the law is to treat everyone equally, right?
It doesn't change the standard of sentencing based on the social status of the subject or other external factors. So, my attitude is very clear. "
"If you're willing to uphold justice, I'm also willing to take all the responsibility for killing this idiot tonight. I'll interrogate him however you want, and I'll sentence him however you want. Everything will be according to the military rules. I'll obey the reasonable verdict, and I won't go back on my words or have any objections. As long as you can treat everyone equally."
"Can you do it?
If you can, let's make the arrangements now. "
"Otherwise, I can only leave you with one sentence."
The hand that was pressing on Tian Zai's collar slowly moved up to Marquis Hengshan's face, which was already a little chubby, and gently patted the right cheek of the Martial Arts Hall's Military Chief.
General Shentse said gently, "Tian, are you f * cking qualified to talk to me about the law?"
The anger in Tian Zai's eyes grew stronger, but he didn't explode in the end.
To ordinary people, he was the high and mighty Martial Arts Hall's Military Chief Pavilion Elder. He was in charge of the army, and he was in charge of the imperial court. Ordinary people didn't even have the right to see him, let alone reason with him.
But now, the person standing in front of him was Sun Lang. So, he had no choice but to reason with him. Because he knew that if he couldn't reason with him, the other party would always have a second option.
Sun Lang waited quietly for a moment, and then he exhaled.
"You see, I'm not a good person, and you're not any better. Let's stop acting like white lotuses."
He let go of Tian Zai and said indifferently, "So, give me a definite answer. Do you want justice or rules?"
Tian Zai didn't say anything. Marquis Guang Zonghui, who was behind him, said coldly, "What rules are rules?"
Sun Lang said indifferently, "How can I talk about rules with you after killing someone in front of you? Rules are rules."
Marquis Le Wang tried to smooth things over and said, "Alright, I'll say something. Commander Of War, Old Tian didn't let you down. You've done a lot of things in the imperial capital these days. The Martial Arts Hall has always been neutral, and it's also because of Old Tian's mediation. I won't say anything else … if you have any thoughts, just say it."
Sun Lang nodded and looked to the side. "Take them down first."
Android and the rest didn't hesitate. They waved their banners and charged forward. The soldiers with swords and shields slammed their heavy shields and shouted "Abandon your weapons and don't kill." The soldiers with spears and halberds put down their weapons and advanced in formation. The remaining Dragon Spear Army was surrounded in the center. They had lost their Heavenly Net and were killed by Wei Xihe. Now that their main general was dead, the Martial Arts Hall didn't say anything. No matter how tough the soldiers were, they would be shaken. After all, they were the soldiers of the empire and not the private army of their main general.
After the slogan of "Abandon your weapons and don't kill" was shouted in Shinto Province, many people chose to surrender. They had lost their drive and had no reason to continue fighting. A small number of soldiers wanted to resist, but Pan Mei and the rest approached them like ghosts. The Imperial Army rolled in and quickly subdued them.
"This bastard has an accomplice. We'll know once we ask."
Sun Lang kicked the head at his feet to the side and looked to the other side.
Wei Xihe had been completely imprisoned. He used the sword seal to seal the Sun Radiance Sacred Sword. A few commanders personally set up restrictions to restrict his Qi. Then, they used golden and silver ropes to bind his limbs. There were even rings of fine steel chains on the outside. With such layers of security, even the Seven Luminaries Sword Saint couldn't break free.
Wei Wangshu looked at her elder brother, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.
Then, she looked at Sun Lang and signaled with her eyes — you promised me.
Sun Lang ignored the flirtatious eyes of the Grand Moon Sword Mistress. He pondered for a moment and said to the few commanders behind him, "Hikari Kensei, the Solar Sword Mistress, has a profound cultivation base and possesses the power of positive Yang. The divine light of the sun's fire can cleanse the darkness and annihilate all demons and monsters. It's enough to make the Sword Mistress immune to all poisons and evil spirits. In terms of resistance to poison and curses, she can even surpass the Water Sword Mistress and the Wood Sword Mistress … How did he go crazy?"
Tian Zai said numbly, "This is something we need to investigate. How can the Solar Sword Mistress go crazy for no reason? There must be some unknown cause and effect."
Sun Lang turned his head and looked at Wei Wangshu.
The moment their gazes met, Wei Wangshu understood Sun Lang's gaze.
She immediately revealed an expression of anger and hatred. "Commanders, please allow me to report!
Before my brother lost control tonight, he only had suspicious and unfriendly contact with Sun Lang!
He also has enough motive to do such a thing! "
Sun Lang nodded and said, "The Grand Moon Sword Mistress is right. No matter what, I do look very suspicious. In order to prove my innocence, I have to try my best to defend myself … So, commanders, how about we play a game?"
