Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 2494 Li Shimin VS Li Maozhen

 Chapter 2490: Li Shimin VS Li Maozhen

Jiang Shang's face was filled with disbelief. He lowered his head and glanced at the long sword that penetrated his chest. It was the Taiqing Sword, so the person who stabbed him in the back was actually Li Shimin, whom he had been helping.

This sudden scene not only caught Jiang Shang off guard, but also Li Maozhen on the side was dumbfounded. He never expected that his cousin Li Shimin would stab his benefactor in the back at this moment.

 Li Maozhen still admires Jiang Shang.

Such an outsider, not seeking fame or fortune, went into danger alone to help Li Tang. However, Li Shimin killed Li Tang just because he did not want him to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. This is too chilling.

 Originally, Li Maozhen felt guilty towards Li Shimin because of the rebellion, but after seeing Jiang Shang's fate, the guilt in her heart disappeared. Some were just happy and sorry for Jiang Shang.

“What a pity.” Li Maozhen sighed softly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Li Shimin drew his sword decisively, while Jiang Shang vomited a large mouthful of blood, but still managed to hold on and turned around, glaring at Li Shimin with great anger.

With his wisdom, it was not difficult to guess why Li Shimin stabbed him in the back, but knowing him made it even more difficult to let go.

 He hates it.

Wasn't it just to save Li Shimin's life?

 But how does the other party repay you? Not only was he ungrateful, he stabbed himself in the back on the battlefield just because he didn't want to surrender to Qin.

Jiang Shang admitted that he was indeed more optimistic about Qin. Perhaps Li Shimin also realized this in the previous conversation.

 But in order to save Li Shimin, he has gone against Da Qin too many times. Even if he really wanted to, Da Qin would not be willing to accept him.

Li Shimin didn't even give him a chance to refuse, so he stabbed himself in the back decisively, not remembering his own efforts at all. His heart was so vicious, cold, and ungrateful.

 In fact, there are traces of all this.

 From how he treated his sister Li Xiuning and how he treated the Yang family, a great hero, we can see Li Shimin's cold nature.

But Jiang Shang only wanted to save Taoism at that time, and then left, no longer caring about Li Shimin's life or death, so not only did he not care, but he continued to seek skin from the tiger, so that he suffered backlash and was about to die under Li Shimin's sword.

At this thought, Jiang Shang felt extremely bitter in his heart, and he felt sad for himself.

He served two generations of monarchs in his youth, but they were both incompetent and weak kings. They wanted to get rid of him because of their great achievements. In his old age, he met an ungrateful person like Li Shimin.

 How unfair God was to him, Jiang Shang.

　　That's all, he was blind and couldn't recognize people. He deserved it and he couldn't blame anyone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shang was completely disheartened and did not say anything to accuse Li Shimin. Instead, he blamed everything on his misjudgment of the wrong person and the backlash that went against heaven.

After all, if it comes down to it, although his original intention was to save Li Shimin, the reality was that he was sent to death. Li Shimin was assassinated before the battle, so he was considered even.

　　咚…

Jiang Shang could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thud. He looked as if he was out of breath and might die at any time.

When Li Shimin saw this, not only did he not feel any guilt on his face, but he was extremely cold, which showed that he had no psychological burden for killing Jiang Shang.

Li Shimin had four reasons for killing Jiang Shang:

 First, regardless of whether Jiang Shang really came to save him or not, just because it was the other party's suggestion to lure him to Xuanwu, he should die.

 Second, judging from Jiang Shang's previous reactions, it was obvious that he had seen something, but still persuaded him to come to the palace. Li Shimin had reason to believe that he did this deliberately and wanted to capture him alive as a token of surrender to Qin.

Three, Jiang Shang was old and frail and not very strong, but he survived to the end like him. It was obvious that Li Maozhen did not want to kill him, and Li Shimin had more reason to believe that the two had colluded.

Fourth, it is Jiang Shang's bottomless talent. Regardless of whether Jiang Shang will vote for Qin or not, if he really does, his mortal enemy Ying Hao will be even more at home. This is something Li Shimin does not want to see in any case.

So, based on the above four points, Li Shimin must kill Jiang Shang. After all, in his opinion, it was Jiang Shang who caused him to end up where he is now, and he would rather die than be captured alive and humiliated again.

Li Shimin has already prepared to die. Since he is going to die, he can't let Jiang Shang, the culprit who is suspected of being a traitor but actually cheated him, still be alive, right?

 So, Li Shimin didn't have any psychological burden when he killed Jiang Shangcai. He was not really crazy and ungrateful.

Although Jiang Shang was as smart as a demon and had no calculations, he still missed one point, that is, he overestimated human nature and underestimated the madness of an emperor in a desperate situation.

"Mr. Jiang, walk well. You will not be lonely on the road to hell. When the people of the world take care of this traitor, they will come and accompany you to hell."

Li Shimin approached Jiang Shang as he spoke, and then decisively swung his sword and cut off Jiang Shang's head, completely ending Li Maozhen's intention to treat Jiang Shang.

The originator of the majestic military strategist and the master of hundreds of schools, he died tragically at the hands of Li Shimin before his skills were fully revealed. It can be said that he died in peace.

  【Ding dong, Li Shimin kills Jiang Shang with a backstab, his commander is permanently +1, his force is permanently +1, and his charm is permanently -5;

 The current five dimensions of Li Shimin: Commander 101 (+3), Force 101 (+13), Intelligence 99 (+2-1), Politics 103, Charisma 76 (+1-20-5);

 Li Shimin’s current strength has increased to 109;】

 After killing Jiang Shang, Li Shimin stared at Li Maozhen not far away, and sarcastically said in a cold voice: "The turtle with its shrinking head finally dares to take the lead."

Li Maozhen’s face turned cold and she said solemnly: “You shouldn’t kill Mr. Jiang, he didn’t betray you.”

"I've already killed everyone, why are you talking about this? If you want to use this to shake my mood and make me feel guilty, then you are underestimating me, Li Shimin."

Li Shimin sneered and said that he always knew his mistakes and made improvements but never admitted them. Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with killing Jiang Shang.

 With a prince like himself, why should he be dissatisfied when an old man like Jiang Shang is buried with him?

After hearing this, Li Maozhen was speechless. The Li Shimin in front of him was so unfamiliar that he could not recognize it.

 Perhaps this is his true face. Li Maozhen thought to himself.

"Li Shimin, you can't escape. Surrender. Maybe there is a way to survive." Li Maozhen said.

The sarcasm on Li Shimin's lips became even more serious: "Do you think everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as you are? If you want to persuade me, Li Shimin, to surrender, you, Li Maozhen, are not qualified enough."

When the heroes were fighting against Dong, Li Shimin had already been captured alive once by Ying Hao. This incident was regarded by him as a great shame and humiliation, and with his pride, he naturally could not accept being captured alive a second time.

He, Li Shimin, can die, but he cannot be captured by Ying Hao or Ying Hao's people for a second time. This is Li Shimin's final bottom line.

“I, Li Shimin, would rather die standing than live on my knees.”

Looking at Li Shimin, who was clearly alone but still standing proudly, Li Maozhen knew that the other party was determined to die and it was impossible to capture him alive, so he ordered the soldiers to come forward and kill Li Shimin.

Seeing that Li Maozhen didn't take action himself, Li Shimin's expression changed. He wanted to use Li Maozhen as a support before he died, but he didn't expect that after all this, Li Maozhen still didn't want to do anything with him.

"Li Maozhen, if you want to kill me, do it yourself. Do you want to humiliate me by letting these soldiers kill me?" Li Shimin roared. He was not a person who was afraid of death, but he also didn't want to die in the hands of an unknown person.

Li Maozhen didn't answer. He really didn't want to kill Li Shimin himself. The only people he killed before were just guards, so he let his men do it.

Hundreds of rebels were out of position, surrounded Li Shimin, and then swarmed forward.

Countless spears came towards Li Shimin, but most of them were cut off by his sword.

As one of the Three Pure Taoist Swords, the Taiqing Sword is not as good as the top ten famous swords, but under the cultivation of Taiqing Taoist people's internal strength for decades, its sharpness and sturdiness are not much inferior to those of the top ten famous swords. Being at the top of the divine weapon, it is naturally easy to cut off these ordinary spears.

Seeing that Li Shimin's sword was so sharp and a large number of spears were cut off by Li Shimin, Li Maozhen knew that the spear array was useless to him, so he ordered the spearmen to retreat and let the sword and shield soldiers form a formation to surround and kill Li Shimin.

Facing hundreds of soldiers with swords and shields, Li Shimin, holding the Taiqing Sword, was as small as gravel, but he still fought alone.

Relying on the sharpness of the Taiqing sword, Li Shimin cut off more than 20 shields and more than 30 Tang knives, but only killed less than ten people.

Logically speaking, Li Shimin, whose military force has reached 109, should be able to clear troops far more than this. However, with the commander Li Maozhen of 93 personally commanding, he is equivalent to fighting hundreds of people with his own strength.

Li Shimin had to deal with attacks from at least twenty or thirty people each time. He was so exhausted that he couldn't even protect himself, let alone fight back.

 “Lord, surrender.”

 “Lord, we are defeated, surrender.”

 “Yes, my lord, please surrender.”

Ten soldiers holding strong shields finally seized the opportunity and used shield squeezing tactics to trap Li Shimin. However, they did not kill the killer, but instead persuaded him to surrender with tears in his eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces, Li Shimin roared and tried his best to break free, but more soldiers came around.

Hundreds of people rushed towards Li Shimin in the middle. Not to mention that he was only a 109-level divine general. Even the God of War couldn't break free.

 The God of War has the ability to kill a hundred people, but he does not have the power to kill a hundred people.

 Can Li Shimin be captured without hesitation?

 Apparently not.

Li Shimin activated the sonic secret method and roared like a dragon, roaring: "Today, there is only Li Shimin who died in battle, and there is no Li Shimin who surrendered."

  【Ding dong, Li Shimin’s skill ‘Dragon Roar’ is activated;

Dragon Roar: The Dragon King lies down, the clouds and rain subside, the Dragon King roars, and the heaven and earth are shocked. This skill has different effects for different people. If it is present with "Tiger Roar" at the same time, it can form the combo skill "Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar".

 Effect 1, after this skill is activated, the force +3.

Effect 2, activated when fighting generals, reducing the enemy's military strength by 1 to 4 points in a single fight, and reducing the enemy's military strength within 20 meters by 1 to 2 points in a group battle;

 Effect 3, activated during legion combat, the overall combat strength of the enemy's entire army is partially reduced. 】

The suppression effect of Li Shimin's 'Dragon Roar' is much weaker than that of Long Qie, but this is understandable. After all, he is a monarch rather than a general. It is very rare to have such combat power.

[Ding dong, Li Shimin’s skill ‘Dragon Roar’ effects 1 and 2 are activated one after another, his own force +3, and the force of the enemy within 20 meters is reduced by 1~2 points;

 Li Shimin’s current strength has increased to 112;】

Li Shimin's roar, which contained internal power, caused the soldiers around him to suffer, but they were still within the tolerance range, but their status dropped a lot.

Under the suppression of 'Long Yin', the rebels around Li Shimin were all suppressed by 1 or 2 points of force, and their strength naturally became much weaker.

Li Shimin also noticed that his strength was weakening, and knew that the sonic attack of Kuang Long Yin was effective, so he started to use the Holy Qiankun Kung Fu like crazy, and transferred all his internal energy to his feet, and then stamped his legs violently.

 Under the huge reaction force, Li Shimin jumped out and broke free in this situation.

History in the Linkong state, holding the Taiqing Sword tightly in his right hand, he pulled out the Longyuan Sword from behind with his left hand, and roared: "The tenth form of Longquan Sword Technique, Hidden Dragon ascends into the abyss, kill."

brush…

Two half-moon sword energy struck out, and the dozen or so soldiers closest to Li Shimin were all beheaded instantly and died tragically on the spot.

Although the soldiers behind raised their shields in time to block, they were still directly blown away by the sword energy and were seriously injured and fell into coma.

After landing, Li Shimin roared into the crowd with Long Yuan Sword in his left hand and Tai Qing Sword in his right hand, slashing left and stabbing right, killing more than twenty people in a row in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the casualties of the soldiers were increasing, and it was about to break the hundred, Li Maozhen could not sit still. After thinking for a while, he picked up the Qiwang Spear and rushed towards Li Shimin on horseback.

  【Ding dong, Li Maozhen’s skill ‘Bronze Spear’ is activated.

Bronze Gun: The Bronze Gun general has exclusive skills. Different people have different effects. It can be combined with the gold, silver and iron three spear generals to form the "Four Divine Guns" combo.

 Effect 1, after this skill is activated, force +4;

 Effect 2: Reduce the opponent's force by 1 to 4 points in a one-on-one challenge, and reduce it by 1 to 2 points in a group battle.

Effect 3: When leading troops in battle, when more than half of the troops under his command are injured or killed, own force +3;

The current ‘Bronze Spear’ effect 1 is activated, the force is +4, and Li Maozhen’s force is increased to 111;]

Li Shimin was surrounded by hundreds of people and was unaware of Li Maozhen's actions. As a result, his sneak attack hand was shot in the back by Li Maozhen, and he was knocked back more than ten meters.

 【Ding dong, Li Maozhen's skill 'Bronze Spear' is activated with effect 2, which reduces the opponent's force by 1 to 4 points in a duel. Currently, Li Shimin's force is reduced by 3 points, and Li Shimin's force drops to 109; 】

 Poof…

Li Shimin spit out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and said happily instead of angry: "You finally dare to take action. Even if you die today, I will drag you to **** with me."

Having said that, Li Shimin jumped onto a war horse and rushed towards Li Maozhen.

Seeing this, Li Maozhen was also unwilling to be outdone. He waved his spear and came forward to fight with Li Shimin.

 【Ding dong, Li Maozhen entered 20 meters around Li Shimin and was suppressed by the ‘Dragon Roar’. His force was -1, and his force dropped to 110 that year; 】

 Single gun fighting with two swords.

Li Maozhen knew how powerful the Long Yuan Sword was, so she took advantage of the length of the spear and kept prodding, but did not go head-to-head with Li Shimin's Long Yuan.

Although Li Shimin held the divine sword, it was not conducive to mounted combat due to its length, and he was reluctant to release the sword energy. After all, he couldn't use it with his skill. Coupled with the previous battle and injuries, he soon fell under Li Maozhen's fierce attack. The whereabouts fell to the disadvantage.
