Chapter 469: Using one to coerce ten thousand
Chapter 469: Using one to coerce ten thousand
Many martial artists were furiously unrestrained, truly willing to risk their lives to attack Lu Yao.
Lu Yao’s actions were excessively malicious. He first gave hope to everyone, then ruthlessly crushed it and trampled it further.
For a woman to reign over the world, in the eyes of others, was a ruthless humiliation.
However, once the “mecha warriors” arrived, the already scheming crowd was as if doused with a bucket of cold water.
Presently, there were 500 Imperial Guards rushing over, along with 100 civilian martial artists led by Fu Fangsheng.
Not a trace of flesh was exposed on these warriors, their entire bodies covered in steel.
Besides the lightweight battle armor, there were also 20 cumbersome mechas.
The mechas, all piloted by Blood-Exchange Realm Martial Artists, made the ground tremble with every step they took.
Facing the dark, thick barrels pointed at them, many who were filled with rage instantly calmed down, recognizing them as cannon guns!
“How can there be so many Knight Armors!? Which country’s design style is this? Definitely not Jiade!”
“Damn it! That Lu is a devil! This devil was well prepared!”
As everyone trembled with fear, Lu Yao first addressed the mecha warriors:
“If there is a battle later, you don’t need to intervene, let me handle it myself.”
Then, he looked at the group of frightened people with a hint of contempt:
“Now that the Imperial Guards will not intervene, I’ll give you another chance. As long as you defeat me, you can establish a constitution, or even proclaim yourself king.”
Seeing that the other side was leaving them without any face, Yuan Kaisheng said with a cold expression:
“Lord Lu! Are you truly going to disregard morality and jeopardize the grand scheme for your own selfish interests!”
Lu Yao, with a flick of his large sleeve, spoke calmly and gracefully:
“Lord Yuan’s words are utterly erroneous. Right now, I am the grand scheme, and those disregarding it are you.”
“You…!!”
At this moment, Lu Yao was actually indifferent. If these people acted, he would naturally take it as a chance to go on a killing spree, and if they cowered, he would just consider it as conserving energy to slowly govern. Either way was fine for him.
This was exactly what arduous cultivation sought after—doing as one pleased!
No matter the conspiracy or the political tricks, in the face of absolute power, they could only shatter to pieces!
There was no room for compromise or submission, it was a direct, definitive blow!
Lu Yao’s attitude was full of nonchalance, seemingly not taking anyone seriously.
The opposing attendees, grinding their teeth in hatred, were completely helpless and could only watch helplessly as they were humiliated.
The two Great Grandmasters and a number of Governors exchanged glances, silently communicating.
Yuan Kaisheng and Liu Kunyi were actually eager to fight at this moment. They had gotten carried away earlier and revealed their intentions, knowing that they would eventually be dealt with by Lu Yao.
But Zhang Wenda’s gaze flickered as he avoided eye contact. @@novelbin@@
If thousands were to attack together, there might be a chance to eliminate this devil, but it would come with an exorbitant price, and a rabble would certainly not hold up.
Moreover, The New Dynasty was in need of people, and he reckoned that maintaining his current status would not be difficult considering his relationship with Zuo. There was no need to put himself in jeopardy.
The few of them looked at each other indecisively for a while, and under the overwhelming might of Lu Yao, the entire troop was retreating steadily.
Lu Yao glanced at Zhang Wenda, Yuan Kaisheng, Liu Kunyi, and representatives from the Taihu Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Diancang Sect, and said indifferently:
“So now, gentlemen, it is time to make your choice.”
No sooner had his voice faded, than his Godly form fully manifested between heaven and earth, appearing nearly a hundred meters tall as he looked down upon the trembling ants on the ground.
Some who saw this magnificent figure reminiscent of gods and demons for the first time, actually lost composure and fell to the ground sitting!
In an instant, one was pressing upon ten thousand, and the heroes were bound hand and foot.
These renowned strong figures in the world, who dominated territories, were astonishingly subdued by Lu Yao alone, not daring to speak aloud.
At this moment, everyone in the arena was looking at him, their expressions varied.
Some were in awe, exclaiming that a man should be just so!
Others were full of admiration and infatuation. Yu Yanmei, Li Pei, and the Liao Family Sisters felt their hearts melting.
Beyond them, countless other girls were stirring with excitement; Su Erya was among them.
She gazed unblinkingly at her own uncle, her pretty and incomparable melon-seed face blushing, her expression shy and bashful.
The girl believed that there was no man in the world better than Lu Yao!
Erya deeply resented her slow growth and young age, as she could only watch helplessly as more and more women flocked to her uncle…
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt warmth surge through her body, a hot stream emerging from her abdomen.
The young girl was thirteen this year, and in two more months, when it was the beginning of the lunar year, she would be fourteen.
At this age, Liao Ya had long since taught her some things in advance, and Erya immediately realized—her period had come!
Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly took off using her footwork to a secluded area, where she took out the sanitary items her master had prepared for her.
Luckily, everyone’s attention was on Lu Yao, so no one noticed her.
~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, the faces of the Constitutionalists were very stiff, but Lu Yao’s supporters were jubilant:
[“Even if Lord Lu does not ascend the throne, his authority surpasses that of an emperor!”]
[“Exactly! And since the Commandery Princess Yongping is so obedient to him, does it even make a difference who takes the throne?”]
[“This way, many loyalists from the old dynasty will naturally support him! Look, several Governors have already dissociated themselves from the ‘Constitutionalists’!”]
[“This must have been a strategy Lord Lu had long planned. What a great tactic!”]
Just as they had said, the Constitutionalists were thrown into disarray, with many of their former supporters now eager to distance themselves and dissociate.
It wasn’t long before only Governors Zhang, Yuan, and Liu, with their staunch supporters, remained.
The group that had been powerful and influential now suddenly became the minority!
At the same time, Zuo Xiaowei, the son of Left Minister Zuo, stood up and declared loudly:
“My father supports every decision Lord Lu makes. Our nation faces troubling times. I hope everyone will consider the bigger picture and not dwell on personal gains, ignoring the greater good.”
With this, Lu Yao could be said to have not only overwhelming power but also, with the support of the Left Minister, had taken the moral high ground.
The overall situation was settled. Zhang Wenda sighed and was the first to bow to Li Pei, saying:
“Commandery Princess Yongping possesses wisdom, strategy, virtue, and talent, unquestionably an excellent choice to inherit the Imperial Throne. This official has no objections!”
As soon as he spoke, those who relied on his support also bowed one after another to show submission.
After that, a group of people cleared a space and moved aside.
Yuan Kaisheng looked upset as he tried to retain Zhang, saying, “Brother Zhang, are you just going to watch these people mess around? He hasn’t even thought of a national title yet! It’s absurd!”
Zhang Wenda’s expression remained unchanged: “Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The Western powers have empresses as well. As for the national title… that’s not important. We can think about it slowly.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Kaisheng burst into ironic laughter.
He glanced at Li Pei, who was still in a daze, his mind filled with reluctance and an outcry against the unfairness of fate!
His lifelong pursuit had been so easily grasped by a woman with mere looks!
Why should someone spread their legs and that be worth more than his half a lifetime of schemes! It was simply too unfair!
At that moment, Yuan Kaisheng stared directly at Lu Yao, making his last struggle:
“Lord Lu, you are so arrogant and domineering, yet you fail to see that a great disaster is upon us!”
“The reliable information I’ve obtained—the Western powers will convene a post-war treaty conference in the lunar month.
At that time, they will have the resources to deal with you!”
