Chapter 223: Facing Xiang Kunlun, what is the king?
The garrison soldiers then felt relieved. You know, the commander-in-chief Lu Shuyu had just left. If an external enemy invaded the Hall of Heroes at this time, it would be really difficult to deal with.

"Yes, General Xiang, lift the guards and open the city gates!"

The leader jumped off his horse.

He was a burly man.

The man had broad shoulders, long arms, a strong back and strong waist, and was nearly two meters tall, giving people the feeling of being able to block out the sky and the sun.

His face was very handsome and revealed a determined look. There was a streak of blue paint under each of his eyes, making him look a little mysterious.

He carries a three-meter-long Fang Tian Hua Ji on his back. Every step he takes seems to make the ground shake. His strength is unfathomable!
There is unparalleled dominance in his every move, and his powerful aura makes people feel extremely oppressive.

"I am Xiang Kunlun, the Soul Suppressor of Yanghuang Street!"

A domineering and unquestionable voice came from the city gate.

The soldiers on guard on the city wall heard this and shouted:
"Release the alert!"

"General Xiang is here, open the door!"

"boom!"

The dark and heavy door opened.

Xiang Kunlun mounted his horse and led his group into the city.

After entering the City of Heroes, Xiang Kunlun went straight to the main hall of the Hall of Heroes, galloping on his horse on the wide and flat street.

The troops following behind him went to the military camp to rest, and only a few trusted generals followed him to the main hall to report on their work. This was the rule. All generals of the Hall of Heroes who led troops out had to go to the main hall to report on their work and the situation after completing their mission.

Xiang Kunlun wanted to take over the Hall of Heroes as an aid, so he naturally would not break the rules.

As a violent organization in the Spirit Realm, the Hall of Heroes is essentially a central military organization. The City of Heroes, as the headquarters of the Hall of Heroes, is naturally a military city and a war fortress.

In order to facilitate marching and war coordination, ordinary streets, straight roads and highways were built in the city.

A straight road is convenient for infantry to move, and a galloping road is convenient for horses to pass and for cavalry to move.

As they approached the main hall, Xiang Kunlun and his group quickly slowed down and gradually stopped.

Xiang Kunlun pushed open the door of the main hall, but did not see Lu Shuyu. Instead, Li Ye was sitting next to the main seat, seemingly working.

When the door was opened, Li Ye naturally looked up at the gate. In fact, the moment Xiang Kunlun entered the City of Heroes, Li Ye knew that Xiang Kunlun had returned. He couldn't help but wonder, if Xiang Kunlun came to the hall and saw him sitting here, I wonder what kind of wonderful expression he would have?
The leader walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a tall and strong body; even before he arrived, his domineering aura was already overwhelming.

The man was wearing a magnificent black gold dragon and tiger armor, with several red ribbons fluttering behind him. His face was cold and resolute, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. There was a dark blue vertical line on each cheek, making him look more heroic and domineering.

It is the owner of the most powerful human martial spirit, King Xiang Kunlun!
As soon as Xiang Kunlun opened the door, he saw a young man in military uniform and golden armor with dragon patterns. He looked extraordinary and valiant, exuding the noble aura of a royal family. With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance, he gave people a sense of dominance and confidence that no one else could match him.

Seeing this, Xiang Kunlun frowned slightly, his eyes were dim, but he still walked towards Li Ye.

Xiang Kunlun walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger and soon arrived beside Li Ye.

Xiang Kunlun looked at Li Ye, and Li Ye also looked at Xiang Kunlun.

In Li Ye's perception, an extremely domineering aura came towards him, like a pitch-black dragon, roaring and shaking the heaven and earth!

Feeling Xiang Kunlun's momentum and pressure, Li Ye remained calm, his face as calm as a lake, and looked at him quietly.

For a moment, the purple-gold true dragon and the pitch-black dragon confronted each other in the air.

The purple-gold dragon is mysterious, noble, profound and mysterious.

The pitch-black dragon, with a dark and eerie glow, roared to the sky.

As the two men confronted each other, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heavy and depressing.

There was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and the confrontation between the two men reached its climax in an instant. The sky and the earth were dark, and even the ghost soldiers on patrol and guard seemed to feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. They felt extremely depressed and were all horrified.

At this moment, Li Ye took the initiative to speak:

"Brother Kunlun, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm sure everything will go smoothly when we go to subjugate the Red Devil Clan in the West District this time."

Li Ye's face was full of smiles and his tone was full of concern. No one could tell that the two were actually rivals on the verge of a fight.

"Haha, thank you General Li for your concern. They are just a small tribe of red ghosts. But I heard that General Li had a smooth journey to wipe out the Huang Chao Group without any effort!"

Xiang Kunlun laughed loudly but there was a deep fear hidden in his smile. As far as he knew, the Huang Chao Group was not weak. Li Ye destroyed the Huang Chao Group so easily. His strength should not be underestimated. The position of the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes was not easy to get. However, he was not worried. He had full confidence and faith in himself. He was the descendant of the Overlord. Li Ye's bravery was unparalleled throughout the ages!
Li Ye was not at an easy time either. Xiang Kunlun was much older than him. The hell had already entered the state of great scorching heat. The guardian spirit Xiang Yu was also one of the strongest human martial spirits. The King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, once killed gods and obtained the power of the ghost king.

Although he has many powerful plug-ins, his martial god body cannot be exposed, that is, he can only use Li Cunxiao as a guardian spirit to fight against him. Although Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu are both the strongest martial spirits, they also have the power of the ghost king and even the power of the ancient fierce god Qiongqi. They think they are martial gods and have been strengthened three times. However, the gap in spiritual power is difficult to make up. Xiang Kunlun's hell realm is much higher than him after all. Although spiritual power is not the only factor that determines strength, it is always the most core and basic factor. You know, Xiang Kunlun is one of the three big kings in the street. Old man Li broke Xiang Kunlun's head. Xiang Kunlun vowed to take off old man Li's head and use it as a chamber pot. In the end, he did it. He made an appointment with Cao Yanbing and said that if Cao Yanbing was scared and didn't dare to come, he would raise troops to attack Tartarus and leave no one alive in the entire kingdom. Look at the other two big kings, Cao Yanbing and Tiezu, the kings are all supported by strength!
His guardian spirit, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, is carrying the souls of millions of Chu soldiers and can sacrifice himself to repair Xiang Yu's body. Xiang Yu is equivalent to having an immortal body. In the state of Ghost King power, holding the greatsword Stepping on the Clouds and Black Horse, he has the power to crush everything he touches. He also has his own legion and can summon troops. At the beginning, he used a move called "Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke" to completely suppress the mummy legion of the Kingdom Organization's first knight, the God of Death Saiyi.

The two of them kept exchanging words, going back and forth, pulling each other non-stop.

It can be seen that Xiang Kunlun is obviously not good at talking and he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, General Li, why are you here? Where is Commander Lu Shuyu?"

Xiang Kunlun obviously didn't want to continue the verbal confrontation with Li Ye, and asked him why Li Ye was here.

"Well, Commander Lu Shuyu went to the Spirit Realm to report on his work and discussed the martial arts competition between us with the Imperial Spirit Historian. I just happened to come back when Commander Lu Shuyu left. You were not here at the time, so Commander Lu Shuyu asked me to take over the position of Commander-in-Chief temporarily and be responsible for all matters of the Hall of Heroes during his absence."

"But he should be back soon. After all, our duel is less than a month away. He will definitely be back before then."

Li Ye briefly explained the current situation to Xiang Kunlun, indicating that all this was just a coincidence.

"Master Li, there is no need for us to engage in such nonsense. I know that your goal is by no means just this Hall of Heroes. You and I are of the same kind. What we want is this world, and we both want to reach the top of the underworld and become the emperor of the underworld!"

Xiang Kunlun had a stern face and a determined look in his eyes, revealing his great ambition to dominate the world, which he did not hide in front of Li Ye.

He knew clearly that he, Xiang Kunlun, and Li Ye were actually the same kind of people. In their eyes, they all cared about the so-called world. What they wanted to do was not just to be the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes. Their goal had always been to bring down the so-called Dayu Tian and Yuling Shi, overthrow the Yuling clan and the Lingyu's rule over the underworld for thousands of years, and create their own great achievements and imperial hegemony!
In the Zhenhunjie comics, there is a plot like this when the hell monster Behemoth is sleeping around the spirit realm.

"Look at that big mountain in the distance. I heard it used to move!"

An undead soldier from the Hall of Heroes who obeyed Xiang Kunlun said to another undead soldier from the Hall of Heroes who was on guard with him.

"Haha, this kind of thing only happens in my dreams."

The other undead soldier remained silent, obviously not believing what his companion said.

"But it seems that there are hostile forces of King Xiang living up there. I'm afraid there will be a battle sooner or later."

"Yeah, I wonder when this day will come?"

"The trouble is, I don't really like fighting."

"Really? Did you think so when you were alive?"

"Many times we have no choice but to listen to the biggest and strongest. After all, in the underworld, the bigger the fist, the stronger the rule!"

"Will it be the same if you become king?"

".It may be the same. Power and strength will certainly breed ambition. With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill will naturally arise!"

It's not easy to be a king. Many people are grassroots at first, and then go with the flow and become leaders. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Unknowingly, they have been burdened with too many expectations. Slowly, they find that they can no longer stop. Perhaps they don't want to disappoint those who have high hopes for them, or perhaps, at this moment, the desires deep in their hearts begin to grow wildly. Human beings are such a complex species. When they don't have anything, they may be content with the status quo, but when they have something, they just want more.

For example, could Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, have suddenly stopped before the Xuanwu Gate Incident? The answer is definitely not. The general trend is irreversible. Would you be willing to retreat bravely? Would your subordinates who hope you can go further and gain greater benefits be willing? Even if you are willing to do so, can you be sure that your enemies will let you go, feel at ease with you, and let you live safely? Once the chariot of power starts, it can only rumble forward, and cannot stop, let alone turn back.

This was true of the Chenqiao Rebellion led by Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin; the usurpation of the throne by Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang; the Shenlong Coup led by the only female emperor in history, Wu Zetian; the Tanglong Coup and the Xiantian Coup led by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji; and the Jingnan Campaign led by Emperor Chengzu of Ming, Zhu Di.

Human beings are a complex species. In ordinary times, people are still themselves, but once they are in a high position and possess absolute power, status and military force, they will no longer be human beings, but become beasts, commanding thousands of troops and elite generals, calling the wind and rain, being above ten thousand people, holding the power of life and death, and the lives of thousands of creatures are only in a thought. When he begins to enjoy the pleasure of having everyone bow down to him, his territorial consciousness will become more and more important, and all he sees is fat meat. At this time, war will also come. Only by expanding the territory can he fill the inner uneasiness. Those who obey him will be given a way to live and vitality, and those who oppose him will be eliminated. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!

Until one day, no one raised any objections, and he became the supreme king!

The road to becoming a king is also a Shura road that involves stepping on countless corpses, passing through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even if one wants to turn back, his body will already be filthy and smelly. The king's hands are destined to be stained with blood, which will seep deep into his soul. The black blood that pollutes his soul cannot be washed away, and only fire can burn it out!

A general’s success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers; an emperor’s success is built on the blood of many people!

"Boss Li, we will have a showdown to see who is worthy of being the king of this world!"

There was an extreme ambition flashing in Xiang Kunlun's eyes, which was his coveting for the whole world. He could not wait to start the road to becoming king, and the Hall of Heroes was the first step on his road to becoming king. He was determined to obtain the position of the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes. In his eyes, the Hall of Heroes was already his private property and an important guarantee for him to conquer the world.

He is full of absolute confidence in himself and his patron saint, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. So far, he has never met an opponent and is as powerful as a god or ghost!

Even if his opponent is the successor of the Li Tang Dynasty, even if his opponent's guardian spirit is the Flying Tiger General who is known as "No general is better than Li" and "I hate the sky for not having a handle and the earth for not having a ring", even if the other party is also a young genius and possesses the strongest human martial spirit and has killed gods and obtained the power of the Ghost King, he still has the confidence to defeat his opponent, because he is Xiang Kunlun!

He is Xiang Kunlun, the Soul-Suppressing General of Yanghuang Street who is feared by the underworld. He is King Xiang who makes countless spirit hosts and evil spirits shudder at the mention of him!

Li Ye was also not afraid at all. He stared straight into Xiang Kunlun's eyes. He was not at all inferior to Xiang Kunlun in momentum. There was also a flash of ambition in Li Ye's eyes that was similar to Xiang Kunlun's but also very different.

It's unclear.

Because Xiang Kunlun wanted to be a overlord from the beginning to the end, while Li Ye wanted to become an emperor.

There is a difference between a overlord and an emperor after all.
