Chapter 180: Breaking the Imperial Decree and Defying the Imperial Authority

The Liyang Dynasty finally responded to Xu Chunlin's killing of the Liu family's ancestor.

No matter what, Master Liu Song was also the watchdog of Tai'an City. If the dog was killed, it would be the owner's fault, right?
However, the Liyang Dynasty was also jealous of Xu Chunlin's alias Lu Dongbin, a person who had reached the Great Celestial Realm at a young age.

Isn’t that right!
Han Shengxuan personally brought the imperial edict of the Zhao emperor, wanting to grant Xu Chunlin an official position and bring him under the control of the Liyang Dynasty. Han Diao Si was accompanied by thousands of cavalry.

Judging from the situation, if Xu Chunlin doesn't agree, Han Diaosi will probably take him down the next moment.

Either accept the order or there is a way to survive!
Otherwise, it’s a dead end!
And the Liyang Dynasty would never allow such a brilliant person to leave safely after slapping Liyang in the face.

What's more, Xu Chunlin had previously claimed that he had the mantras of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which could allow warriors to directly enter the ultimate realm of the three schools. In this case, he could not be let off.

In addition, Xu Chunlin was suspected to be the reincarnation of Lu Zu. No matter what the reason, the Liyang Dynasty must keep him in its hands.

At this time, Xu Chunlin was alone. He had asked Qi Lianhua to wait outside Tai'an City long before. After all, according to his level, if both of them stayed in Tai'an City, Qi Lianhua would just be a burden.

Besides, if Xu Chunlin wanted to leave, who could stop him?

Xu Chunlin leaned on the couch, drank a glass of wine, and the crystal wine flowed down the corners of his mouth. Xu Chunlin casually rubbed it with his sleeve and just looked at Han Shengxuan.

He didn't care about the will of the Zhao emperor, but asked Han Diao Si:

"Human-cat?"

"One of the three great demons of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"I heard that you are in the Great Finger Mystery Realm and are good at killing celestial phenomena with your finger mysteries. Can you let me see it for myself?"

Han Diaosi narrowed his eyes and stopped the person behind him from drawing his sword. At least on the surface, if Xu Chunlin accepted the order, Han Diaosi could not take action.

But Xu Chunlin's current disrespectful look clearly showed that he did not take the emperor's order to heart.

Han Diaosi took a step forward and asked with a fake smile, "Do you accept this imperial decree?"

"What if I answer it? What if I don't answer it?"

"Master Liu Song, that old fool, likes to be a watchdog for others, but I have no interest in being a dog for others!" Xu Chunlin stood up with his back straight, showing the warrior's determination to rather break than bend.

Han Diaosi sneered: "I thought you were a smart man, but you chose a dead end!"

Han Diaosi rolled up his sleeves in full view of everyone, and strands of thin red ropes floated around like little red snakes and a swarm of mayflies, so dense that it was intimidating.

Giving life to dead objects has always been a symbol of a master in the celestial realm. For example, Chen Zhibao was able to turn plum wine from green to purple. Apart from the fact that the plum wine itself was extraordinary, it was also closely related to his sudden appearance as a Confucian sage.

Most of the sword masters in history were also able to make a certain ordinary sword become spiritual, just like a wise monk making a stubborn stone nod when preaching.

Han Diaosi did not rush to attack, but put his fingers together and wiped the "red cloud" on his arm. The more leisurely and calm the human-cat was, the more suffocating and oppressive it gave people.

"One last question, do you accept?"

The reason why Han Diaosi asked Xu Chunlin so many times was that the Emperor of the Zhao family had given an order that it would be best to win him over. If this was not possible, he should be executed immediately!

Facing Han Diaosi's coercion, Xu Chunlin smiled lightly, took the imperial edict under Han Diaosi's surprised gaze, and played with it in his hands.

Han Diaosi frowned at this, but Xu Chunlin's subsequent behavior made Han Diaosi furious.

Xu Chunlin put his two fingers together like a sword and with a light wipe, he cut the imperial edict in half and dropped it to the ground.

"Ding Dong!"

The jade shafts at both ends of the imperial edict made two crisp sounds.

Xu Chunlin's actions were tantamount to contempt for imperial power and trampling on the emperor's dignity.

“Bold!!!”

Han Diaosi's face was filled with anger, and he sneered as he looked at Xu Chunlin as if he were a fool who didn't know whether to live or die. Han Diaosi grinned and said:

"Today, kill another celestial being!"

The hands behind his back finally swung out, and the red silk fluttered like red snakes of disaster. The three thousand red snakes were extremely agile and quickly climbed towards Xu Chunlin.

His arms were like a snake den, and the red ropes were like little snakes raising their heads to protest, making hissing sounds, and his arms were covered in scarlet.

Han Diaosi has been suppressing the martial arts world for many years under the secret order, and no one knows how many people have died under this red silk.

Seeing this, Xu Chunlin felt the Qi of heaven and earth condense, presenting a round and infinite state, born as one, endless and leak-free, allowing the three thousand red threads to drill into it, but there was no flaw at all.

This red silk can penetrate any hole and is good at peeling skin and cutting bones, but it encounters Xu Chunlin's absolute defense and is completely helpless for a while.

Han Diaosi's face turned pale. He didn't believe in the methods he was so proud of. He didn't even have a way to deal with Xu Chunlin. He just saw three thousand red silk threads attacking Xu Chunlin's defense like peeling off a cocoon.

He shook his arms, and all the red threads tightened in an instant, condensing into a huge force, like a dragnet that was about to strangle Xu Chunlin into pieces.

However, Xu Chunlin just smiled faintly, his figure shook slightly, and turned into illusion, as if it was a dream bubble, allowing the three thousand red threads to pass through and avoided the attack.

"Is this your method as a human-cat? Nothing more than that."

Xu Chunlin's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was looking at a clown, but the calmer Xu Chunlin's expression was, the more mocking it seemed to Han Diaosi.

Han Diaosi's face changed color because he really couldn't see through Xu Chunlin's methods. He also didn't expect that his full-strength attack would be avoided so easily by Xu Chunlin.

He guessed, "Is it a Buddhist trick?"

“Not here, not there, not in the middle?”

Han Diaosi is indeed a person who has received the Bodhisattva precepts. It is easy for him to think that Xu Chunlin's supernatural powers are likely adapted from the scriptures of the three religions.

But unfortunately, he guessed wrong!

Xu Chunlin had no intention of explaining.

Han Diaosi's heart was filled with murderous intent, and he continued to urge the red silk to launch a more fierce attack on Xu Chunlin. He shouted like a madman, "It seems that you don't know what it means to kill the celestial phenomena with your finger."

Han Diaosi sneered, put his hands together and pointed at Xu Chunlin. The red silk was twisted into a strand, and instantly condensed into a point, piercing towards Xu Chunlin.

Under the infusion of Han Diao Si's Qi, each of these three thousand red threads is actually harder than gold and iron, and carries extremely powerful force. In addition, their large number and the flexible nature of the red threads mean that only a person at the Great Finger Profound Realm can control them.

It can be regarded as a unique method!

The three thousand red threads are like steel brushes. An ordinary celestial being would be turned into blood and mud and shattered bones under the scrubbing of these red threads.

Unfortunately, he met the "turtle" Xu Chunlin!
And with this attack, three thousand red threads condensed into one, containing the peak power of Han Diao Si's Great Finger Profound Realm, like a red-blooded evil dragon, breaking through the air and piercing through the heart, enough to make any master of the Celestial Realm feel palpitations.

However, Xu Chunlin just smiled lightly, stretched out a finger, and pointed the fingertips with the mysterious yin and yang at the red light.

"Since you are Zhixuan, I will kill you with Zhixuan realm!"

"One finger breaks all laws!"

As Xu Chunlin's voice rang out, the blood-red light instantly shattered, turning into countless strands and floating all over the ground.

Han Diaosi's face finally turned ugly. He didn't expect that his final killer move would be cracked so easily by Xu Chunlin.

"What realm are you in?"

Han Diaosi's voice trembled a little, and he felt as if he was facing an unfathomable monster.
