Peerless Taoist

Seeing the middle-aged man come, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.    

After Penglai's forces occupied the Great Tang, although they had established a puppet court, they had left behind a portion of their experts to monitor the operation of the puppet court.    

On one hand, they were protecting the safety of the puppet court. On the other hand, they were also monitoring them to prevent anything unfavorable to Penglai from happening.    

The middle-aged man in front of them was called Zhang Tieshan, and he was a supreme expert of Penglai. His strength was unfathomable.    

Originally, when Penglai's forces entered the Great Tang, they were fiercely resisted by many people. However, after Zhang Tieshan killed several Daolords in a row, he forcefully suppressed this rebellious force.    

In everyone's heart, this Master Zhang was an invincible existence.    

With him in charge, everything would be fine.    

"Master Zhang, you finally come!"    

Li Ming slightly raised his head, his face revealing a look of pleasant surprise.    

Zhang Tieshan was his lifesaver.    

He had betrayed the Li Tang royal family and usurped the throne to become the emperor of the puppet court. He had long attracted the disgust and dislike of many people, and many people had already publicly offered a reward for Li Ming's head.    

If not for Zhang Tieshan being in the palace, Li Ming's head would have long been taken away for the reward.    

"Be careful! This is the expert of Penglai, his strength unfathomable!" Li Mengshu transmitted her voice to Lu Yu.    

At this moment, when Zhang Tieshan walked into the side hall, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.    

All of the Li Tang royal family and the other ministers were kneeling on the ground, and even the Emperor, Li Ming, was lying on the ground motionlessly.    

"It's you who is causing trouble here!"    

Zhang Tieshan's tiger-like eyes swept towards Lu Yu, and a strong pressure came crushing down.    

Unfortunately, this pressure disappeared the moment it came close to Lu Yu, as if a flame had touched the ocean and was immediately extinguished.    

Lu Yu swept his gaze across Zhang Tieshan with his hands behind his back.    

"Level 10 of the Earth Realm? No wonder Li Dun died. Penglai is really willing to spend so much money."    

"You..."    

Zhang Tieshan originally wanted to make a move.    

However, when he heard Lu Yu's words, he was suddenly stunned.    

Very few people could clearly see his strength. Even the ministers present only knew that Zhang Tieshan's strength was unfathomable, and they did not know what his true realm was.    

However, this young man in front of him had just revealed his true strength the moment they met.    

Especially when Zhang Tieshan saw Li Mengshu, who was beside Lu Yu, a strong sense of unease surged into his heart.    

He had seen Li Mengshu before. This princess of the Great Tang had been tightly controlled by him, but now, she actually dared to look straight at him.    

Courage would not appear for no reason.    

The only explanation was that Li Mengshu had the strength to look down on Zhang Tieshan.    

"Master Zhang, he is..." Li Ming was about to explain.    

But suddenly, a sword qi streaked across.    

Whoosh!    

Everyone only saw a white light flash in front of their eyes, and before they could see clearly, Zhang Tieshan's head fell to the ground.    

Lu Yu kicked over, and the headless corpse was sent flying a few meters away. It crashed into the wall, and from where the head was severed, blood continued to flow out.    

"What?"    

Everyone present was shocked.    

Even Li Ming's smile froze on his face, and there was no longer any fluctuation.    

That was Penglai's expert, Zhang Tieshan, whose status and strength were above everyone else.    

Such an expert, even if one searched through the entire Heaven Realm, there wouldn't be many people who could defeat him. Yet, such a powerful cultivator was actually killed by Lu Yu.    

In an instant, everyone's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, and a feeling of despair filled their hearts.    

They originally thought that when these two experts met, they would still have a life-and-death battle.    

Unfortunately, the life-and-death battle they imagined did not appear. There was only instant killing, merciless as if it was an ant being killed.    

Suddenly, Li Ming shivered and knelt on the ground, shouting, "His Majesty the Human Emperor is almighty, wise, and mighty. I am willing to be His Majesty the Human Emperor's dog, and I am willing to do anything!"    

After witnessing Zhang Tieshan's death, Li Ming did not hesitate at all. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Yu.    

He now knew that Lu Yu's strength was definitely beyond their imagination.    

What kind of expert was Zhang Tieshan? Even a Daolord would not be a match for him. However, such a person could not even resist Lu Yu and was killed.    

The reason why he, Li Ming, was able to survive until now was that he was flexible and adaptable.    

Now that he had seen Lu Yu's tyrannical strength, Li Ming naturally did not hesitate at all and chose to join Lu Yu's side.    

In this world, there were many people with integrity and unyielding character. However, in Li Ming's eyes, these people were all quite stupid. Only the people who lived to the end would be the final victors.    

As for integrity, what was that? Could it be eaten?    

In Li Ming's eyes, Lu Yu came here to take revenge on Penglai. They, the Li Tang imperial family, were only forced to surrender to Penglai. He believed that Lu Yu would consider this and leave them a way out.    

The other ministers and nobles present were also shocked.    

They cursed Li Ming for being cunning. While kneeling on the ground, they kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, we have no choice. We were forced to surrender by Penglai."    

"If we weren't forced by Penglai, it wouldn't be like this. The previous emperor... the previous emperor was harmed by Penglai!"    

Looking at this group of people, Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

He glanced at Li Ming and said, "Tang Taizong, how majestic was he back then? His name was recorded in the annals of history, but he actually left behind a descendant like you."    

Li Ming turned a deaf ear to him and continued to kowtow.    

Lu Yu looked at Li Mengshu and said, "What do you plan to do?"    

Li Mengshu had yet to recover from her shock. Hearing Lu Yu calling out to her, she woke up from her dream.    

She looked at these kowtowing insects in front of her. They had once served under Li Bo, and they had also acted as loyal and devoted servants.    

However, a calamity had revealed their true faces.    

Especially when she saw them kowtowing and begging for forgiveness like weeds on the side of a wall. A hint of disgust suddenly flashed across Li Mengshu's eyes.    

"It's better... to let them leave. I don't want to see them anymore." Li Mengshu shook her head.    

"It's very simple to not want to see them."    

Lu Yu nodded. His fingertips suddenly burst out with boundless Sword Qi that spread out in all directions.    

In an instant, all the ministers and nobles in the hall, including Emperor Li Ming, were killed without exception!
