Chapter 225 Fighting the Demon
The leaders of these eight heretical sects are all experts at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, so naturally Lin Fei cannot deal with them. However, with Lin Fei's cultivation level, apart from these eight sect leaders, the rest of them are no match for him.
Overall, the Eight Evil Paths are not considered particularly powerful. Apart from the eight sect leaders, who are top-tier figures, they do not have any other Dharma Aspect Realm experts.
Even young masters like Qin Zhongshan did not appear today.
It seems these guys were afraid of losing Qin Zhongshan and other young masters in the Southern Tang capital, so they didn't bring them with them. Besides these eight sect leader-level experts, the rest who came to the capital were mostly at the fifth level of the acupoint cultivation stage, or even lower.
Those below the fifth level of acupoints are cannon fodder to the Eight Evil Sects. Even if they all die here, the eight sect leaders will not feel sorry for them.
However, if someone like Qin Zhongshan were to die in the capital, it would truly be a blow to the vital energy of the Eight Evil Paths.
Even if things didn't go well, these eight sect leaders were confident they had ways to escape unscathed. As for their disciples, they had no confidence they could protect them.
They also played some tricks on the sorcerer, not bringing their elite disciples with them. Just in case the plan failed, they could make a comeback with their elite disciples and not be completely defeated.
Lin Fei knew that he was absolutely unable to intervene in a battle at the Dharma Aspect level. If he stayed here, he would not only be of no use, but he might also distract Su Wuming and the others from protecting him, thus hindering their retreat.
Hearing Su Wuming's words, Lin Fei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Divine Constable. Leave the rest of the people in the capital to me. I'll make sure they can't cause any trouble!"
Su Wuming nodded and loudly ordered the constables of Tianmen Prefecture, "Listen up, everyone in Tianmen Prefecture! From this moment on, everyone below the Dharma Aspect Realm must leave this place and obey His Highness's orders!"
Standing in mid-air, Li Yu also spoke up: "My beloved ministers, listen to Yuan'er's instructions. Do not let these evil demons and heretics cause chaos within the imperial city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light emanated from the Xuanyuan Sword, forming a huge light shield that pushed everyone else away. Those who remained inside the golden light shield were only Emperor Li Yu of Tang, the sect leader of the Eight Evil Paths, and experts like Su Wuming who were at least at the second level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
That golden light shield acted like a barrier, preventing those outside from entering and those inside from leaving. It seemed that Emperor Li Yu of Tang had made up his mind to keep all the leaders of these evil sects within the capital today, ensuring that none of them could escape.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over!" Li Longqian, who had been pushed out of Xuanwu Street by the light shield, sat on the ground in a daze.
Even Emperor Li Yu of Tang had been mobilized. Even if he was stupid, he knew that things were probably going to turn out badly today—he never expected that his so-called subordinates, and even the Taoist priest himself, were all masters of the unorthodox arts.
Now that he has caused such a huge disturbance in the capital, he can forget about the position of crown prince. Even if he manages to save his life after this is over, he will probably be stripped of his princely status and reduced to a commoner.
At this moment, Li Longqian sat blankly on the ground, his eyes vacant, as if he had completely fallen into a state of dementia, and kept talking to himself.
It's pitiful that this prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who should have been living a life of wealth and honor, was ignored by everyone.
Even Prime Minister Wang You, who had always supported him, merely glanced at Li Longqian sitting on the ground, sighed, and ignored him. Instead, he walked directly to Lin Fei's side, cupped his hands, and said, "Please give your order, Your Highness!"
Among the civil officials, very few could reach the second level of the Dharma Aspect realm or higher. Even those at the first level of the Dharma Aspect realm would only be doomed in a battle of that level. Therefore, the vast majority of civil officials, including the prime minister, were pushed out of the light barrier by the golden light.
Lin Fei coldly ordered, "Pass down my order: search the entire city for any heretical or evil practitioners, and kill them without exception!"
"Yes!" Prime Minister Wang You, having received Lin Fei's order, led the group of ministers and dispersed in all directions.
Even within the imperial city, there were still quite a few heretical and unorthodox individuals roaming its various corners. Even those few men in black from before were pushed out of the protective barrier by the golden light.
Wang You led his ministers to search the entire city for the remnants of the evil sects, while the few men in black were surrounded by the head constables of Tianmen Prefecture and had no way to escape.
"It seems your sect leaders don't have time to care about your lives!" Lin Fei said with a sneer as he looked at the men in black.
These men had previously surrounded him, intending to kill him. But now, the tide has turned, and Lin Fei, leading the constables of Tianmen Prefecture, has instead surrounded them.
"So what?" one of the men in black sneered. "We came here today prepared to die! Even if we die, your Southern Tang Kingdom will still be drenched in blood today!"
The others laughed and said, "That's right, we died a worthy death! Hahaha!"
These guys are like a bunch of lunatics, completely disregarding their own lives. It's as if life and death have long been irrelevant to them.
"Hmph, they're nothing but a bunch of evil heretics, why put on such a righteous act?" Lin Fei said disdainfully, while ordering the constables of Tianmen Prefecture, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Lin Fei raised his hand and pointed at three of them, saying, "You don't need to worry about these three. Leave them to me, and I will personally send them on their way!"
The three people Lin Fei was referring to were the three who initially tried to attack him.
"Good! The three of us can kill a prince of Southern Tang before we die, so it's not a loss for us!" The three of them seemed very excited as Lin Fei pointed at them.
In their view, with the strength of the three of them, dealing with Lin Fei together would be a piece of cake. The reason they hadn't acted rashly before was because they were worried that if they couldn't defeat Lin Fei in time, things might get complicated.
But now, the three of them had no more worries. At this moment, all they could think about was that even if they had to trade three lives for one, as long as they could kill Lin Fei here, they would definitely have gained something.
In any case, none of the three of them planned to leave alive today. Being able to exchange their lives for the life of a Southern Tang prince before they died was naturally the most worthwhile thing to do.
"That depends on whether you have the ability!" Lin Fei smiled coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, a knife and a sword were already in his hands.
