The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

Chapter 540 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind

In the court of the Dafeng Empire, as the regent Crown Prince Li Mou fell, the second prince Li Tai shouted loudly: "Your master is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

However, although Li Tai's voice was loud, the prince's assassins and the third prince's men in black ignored him and rushed out waving their weapons.

"Kill me, you ignorant fool!"

However, before he finished speaking, arrows from outside shot in densely from all directions like locusts, breaking the already tense and frozen air.

The arrow pestle whistled with a sharp sound as it rushed straight towards Li Tai's soldiers, the crown prince's followers, and the third prince's black-clad men. For a moment, everyone on the battlefield was shocked by the sudden rain of arrows, and the originally fierce battle instantly fell into chaos.

“Shhhh! Aaaahhh!”

Instantly, screams rang out one after another. Li Tai and his men were caught off guard and were shot to the ground by dense arrows. The court was in chaos. The Crown Prince Li Mou's assassins and the Third Prince's black-clad men also got into a melee at this moment.

At this time, a general wearing golden armor led an elite army into the court. This general had a sharp gaze and a powerful aura. He was the famous General Lei Zhen of the Dafeng Empire.

"Kill! Kill all the traitors without mercy, not a single one shall be spared."

General Tianwei shouted loudly, his voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in every corner of the court, exploding like thunder, and instantly made everyone tremble with fear.

Following the order of General Tianwei, the elite troops he led swept through the court like a tiger descending from a mountain. After the first wave of archers launched a fierce attack, the second wave of soldiers rushed over with sharp weapons in hand, launching a fierce attack on the rebels with the force of thunder. The melee in the court instantly became more intense, but General Tianwei's army was well-trained, well-coordinated, and with the advantage of numbers, they quickly gained the upper hand.

Although the soldiers of Crown Prince Li Mou were brave, they were powerless in front of the elite army of General Tianwei. Although they fought hard, they were ultimately unable to withstand the offensive of General Tianwei's army and were killed one by one. The black-clothed men of the Third Prince were also in a state of disgrace. Although they were not weak in strength, they were helpless in the face of such a well-trained, powerful, and fearless army and had to flee in all directions. Even the soldiers of the Second Prince Li Tai were not spared. Under the indiscriminate attacks of General Tianwei's army, they seemed stretched to the limit, showing fear and despair, and were instantly drowned in the torrent.

Seeing that his soldiers were also killed by Lei Zhen's elite troops, Li Tai's face suddenly changed and he shouted in a deep voice: "Lei Zhen, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing this, Tianwei General Lei Zhen slowly turned his gaze to the Second Prince Li Tai, his eyes revealing coldness and majesty, and said coldly: "Second Prince, can't you see it?"

Hearing this, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he flew into a rage and shouted, "Lei Zhen, do you also want to rebel and usurp the imperial power of my Dafeng Empire?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing this, General Tianwei sneered and said sarcastically, "Second Prince, you are not stupid. You colluded with foreign enemies, plotted to murder the crown prince, and intended to usurp the throne. This is a crime of treason! You deserve death. Come, capture me and execute me on the spot."

"Lei Zhen, you traitor, how dare you?"

"Hahahaha!"

"Li Tai, do you think that I will really go along with you and support you? The reason why I compromised and stabbed you brothers was just a pretense. I hope you will kill each other and kill you as soon as possible. Because, your Li family is no longer worthy of ruling the world of the Dafeng Empire."

"Hahaha! Good, very good! Lei Zhen, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. You have already begun to spy on the world of my Li family. I still trusted you so much! But don't forget that without my Li family in charge of the Dafeng Empire, you can't mobilize all the troops at all, and the ministers in the court will not listen to the orders of a traitor like you. And now the Luofeng and Tongqian Empires are constantly harassing and have swallowed up many cities of my Dafeng Empire. Ye Tian in the Great Wilderness area has rebelled. They are powerful and eyeing us covetously. Even if you kill me now, you will not be able to win against their attacks in the future."

"If you support me as the emperor of the Dafeng Empire now, you will still be a general of the Dafeng Empire, but you will be second to none. As long as I become the emperor, I can dispatch the army of the Dafeng Empire at will. Only in this way can we concentrate our forces to destroy the enemy. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I die, but you will definitely not live long! What's more, if you kill me, my two royal brothers will never let you go!"

Hearing this, although there was a slight fluctuation on the face of Tianwei General Lei Zhen, it was soon covered by a touch of madness. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Li Tai, don't use sweet words to deceive me. It's useless to me. Today, not only you will die, but your two royal brothers will also die. Oh! By the way, maybe they are dead now!"

At last, General Tianwei sneered again: "Second Prince, do you think that I, Lei Zhen, can get to this point without any means? Let me tell you, everyone who has a relationship with your Li family must die. As long as all the people in your Li family are dead, it will be legitimate for me to stand up. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed. Without the fighting between your Li family, how could the Dafeng Empire become what it is now--!"

"Oh! No, after today it will no longer be called the Gale Empire."

Li Tai was horrified when he heard Lei Zhen's murderous and cruel words. He knew that Lei Zhen was a typical mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole was waiting behind. He was determined to become the emperor himself and would never let him go. He immediately said angrily: "Lei Zhen, don't think that the 100,000 troops you brought with you can do anything to me, Li Tai. It's not that easy to kill me and seize the world of my Li family."

"Hahahaha! A hundred thousand troops? Second Prince, who told you that I only brought a hundred thousand troops? Let me tell you, a hundred thousand troops is just an appearance. I still have a million troops outside the imperial city. As long as I give the order, the imperial city can be flattened in an instant."

"you!"

"Lei Zhen, don't be complacent. My personal soldiers are also outside the city. If they don't receive our signal in half an hour, they will rush in. At that time, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, Lei Zhen showed an even more disdainful smile on his face, "Oh? Your personal soldiers?" Lei Zhen spoke slowly, his voice full of sarcasm and confidence, "Do you think they can turn the tide outside the city? To tell you the truth, Second Prince, your personal soldiers have long been secretly bribed by my people. They are now busy drinking and having fun in the military camp. How can they care about your life or death?"

When Li Tai heard this, his face instantly lost color. He originally thought that his personal soldiers were the last straw to save his life, but he did not expect that they would be so easily shattered by the thunder. At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair and powerlessness.

However, Lei Zhen did not let him go. He continued with a sneer, "Second Prince, you think you are extremely smart and can calculate everything, but unfortunately, you can't predict fate. The Dafeng Empire is destined to fall into my hands, and you are destined to become my prisoner."

Hearing this, Li Tai's face turned even paler, and his heart was filled with resentment and regret. He had never thought that he had played dumb and calculated everything, and when he was about to succeed, Lei Zhen intercepted him! He felt that this was the greatest sorrow in life, that in the end, it would end up like this and end up like this.

However, even so, he did not intend to accept his fate until the last moment. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Lei Zhen with bloodshot eyes, and then roared: "Lei Zhen, although I, Li Tai, was defeated today, I will never be your prisoner." As he spoke, Li Tai used all his strength to suddenly break free from the restraints. A dagger with a cold glow suddenly appeared in his hand, and he pounced towards Lei Zhen at lightning speed.

At the same time, a trace of determination appeared in Li Tai's eyes. In the blink of an eye, his body suddenly rose three inches, as if indicating that he was about to release a powerful force, or make a desperate and crazy counterattack.

As a member of the royal family and a distinguished prince, his cultivation is not weak to begin with, and when he goes crazy, his power cannot be underestimated. Even Lei Zhen couldn't help but change his expression after seeing Li Tai's crazy behavior.

At this moment, Li Tai's movements were swift and fierce. The dagger in his hand shone with cold light, and every swing drew a sharp arc, directly hitting Lei Zhen's vital points. Lei Zhen saw this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Li Tai could burst out such a powerful fighting power in anger, which was almost the same as his.

However, although Li Tai's attacks were all with the determination to kill with one blow, battles cannot be won by just bravery and determination. Lei Zhen had been fighting on the battlefield for years and had much more combat experience than Li Tai. In addition, there was a huge gap in their cultivation levels. After a fight, not only did he fail to hurt Lei Zhen, but Lei Zhen also crippled one of his arms.

"Hahahahaha!" Lei Zhen laughed loudly as he looked at Li Tai, who was covered in bruises. "Second Prince, stop your futile struggle. Today, even if you use all your strength, you can't escape from me!" His voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if victory was inevitable and could not be changed.

However, at this moment, Li Tai, who was already covered in wounds, gritted his teeth and roared, "Lei Zhen, you damn villain, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. Today, even if I die, I will take you with me!"

As he spoke, countless immortal spirits rushed into Li Tai's body like a wild horse being summoned. His body expanded rapidly like a balloon being blown up. Every inch of his skin seemed to be stretched tight by the immortal spirits, and the blood flowing in his veins seemed to be boiling.

Seeing this unusual situation, Lei Zhen instantly realized something and his face changed drastically. He was horrified and shouted, "Li Tai, what do you want to do?" His voice was full of fear and anxiety.

Li Tai laughed up to the sky, his voice full of madness and determination: "Hahahaha! Hahahaha...! What are you doing? Since you won't let me live, then let's die together! Lei Zhen, just dream on about your beautiful Spring and Autumn period. How can someone like you covet the emperor of the Dafeng Empire?"

His laughter echoed in the sky above the palace, shaking everyone's heart. That laughter was full of ridicule for power, anger for betrayal, and contempt for death.

"Quick - stop him! Stop him...!" Lei Zhen's body shot out like lightning and fled in panic, shouting loudly as he ran, but at this moment, no one had time to stop the impending disaster.
