Your Majesty, Come and Catch Me!

When good fortune arrives, it brings subtle changes to life's opportunities, but it can also be targeted by those skilled in Fortune Technique.

In the eyes of the King of Huainan, Zhang Xuezhou and his companions were undoubtedly the embodiment of the new emperor's fortune in going to Mount Tai for sacrificial rites.

No matter how talented someone is, their skill in cultivating Fortune Technique over a short period of time is inevitably limited.

The King of Huainan had ample reason to make jokes and banter; a great cultivator doesn't need a reason to tease a lesser cultivator.

No matter how high Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level is, it's useless. It's like a civil official and a military general competing in poetry and prose; the difference in cultivation level doesn't bring any advantage.

"Are you busy trying to break through to a higher cultivation level right now?"

The four-clawed golden dragon lowered its head, its massive head looking down at the shimmering golden dragonfish, then at the fine, sharp teeth in the dragonfish's mouth, before making a 'tsk tsk' sound.

"King of Huainan, are you busy rebelling?"

Zhang Xuezhou responded in a low voice.

He bared his teeth and opened his mouth, then looked at the golden dragon-shaped body of the King of Huainan.

The King of Huainan's golden dragon form was not fully manifested, indicating that he did not consider him a formal opponent at all, and that he had left behind a means of retreat during the sacrificial altar ceremony.

If the attack isn't fast enough, the King of Huainan can retreat.

Zhang Xuezhou, unfortunately, was not one for quick battles. He looked at the King of Huainan and spoke without any politeness.

"The Zhufu Yan slandered and convicted the King of Qi, forcing him to commit suicide," the King of Huainan lamented. "You newcomers have truly become lawless after gaining power. You can fabricate heinous crimes that could bring ruin to your entire family with a mere word. I used to think you were a promising talent, but people are so easily corrupted by the vat of society!"

"Why did the King of Huainan have to hide it? You cast gold in Shouchun and used it to deceive the King of Jiangdu. When the King of Jiangdu presented the gold to the court, you cursed him to death out of fear of being exposed. Such a clear crime cannot be explained by a dye vat alone," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

The King of King of Huainan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze no longer mocking but filled with murderous intent.

Whether it was for self-preservation or a genuine rebellion, what he did was real, and that's something that couldn't be made public.

According to Zhang Xuezhou, he was probably on the court's blacklist. When the court became powerful, he would inevitably be stripped of his princely title, or even die.

How could the King of Huainan admit to such a thing?

"I personally witnessed your metal refining furnace, and I also witnessed you using prisoners and miners to test the waters," Zhang Xuezhou said. "How can you call it slander based on things I witnessed firsthand!"

"When did you go to the Shouchun Palace, and what reason did you have to go there? You're just spouting nonsense. You're coercing Jin Chang into confessing, and he's just making up a lie for you," said the King of Huainan.

"Unfortunately, the miners you used to sample the tofu are my neighbors," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you have any memory, you'll at least remember that a similar mass exodus of miners occurred at your Wuzhu Mountain a few years ago!"

"Oh!"

"My first rescue wasn't perfect, which led to the second one. I happened to witness the scene in your palace and even heard your treasonous words. I also learned that you had interfered in the affairs of the Southern Frontier, almost manipulating the imperial army!"

As Zhang Xuezhou spoke slowly, the sense of dread in the eyes of the King of Huainan grew stronger.

The simplest way to solve the problem quickly came to the mind of the King of Huainan: first destroy his physical body, then kill him.

"Unfortunately, you have no evidence. Everything you've seen is just your own words, and no one will believe you," the King of Huainan said slowly.

"As long as you say it at the right time, there will be people who believe it when there is demand," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"The court has been in turmoil for years, and is constantly at war with the Xiong State. It is impossible for us to start a civil war now. You won't be able to wait for that right opportunity!"

The King of Huainan slowly turned his body.

He used the altar to perform a ritual, employing his Fortune Technique to interfere with Zhang Xuezhou's breakthrough in cultivation, but he did not break Zhang Xuezhou's physical body. The influence of this Incantation Technique was almost impossible for outsiders to detect, even if the new emperor was standing nearby.

He originally just wanted to stall for time, so that Zhang Xuezhou would lose control of his body and fail to advance his cultivation level, thus teaching the other party a lesson.

Zhang Xuezhou is now caught up in the chaos of war, making rash and unfounded statements. The King of Huainan can even guess that he has not found a suitable opportunity, and thus has not revealed many secrets to the new emperor.

This gave the King of Huainan the idea of killing him to silence him.

If he were to break through Zhang Xuezhou's physical defenses, and Zhang Xuezhou were to fail in his attempt to reach the True Self Realm, the series of defeats would inevitably cost Zhang Xuezhou most of his life.

Even if we don't let Jin Chang and others directly attack and kill Zhang Xuezhou, even if they tamper with the imperial physician's treatment, that would be enough to kill him.

King of Huainan pondered the answer, his Golden Dragon Body continued to become more complete, directly manifesting itself on this battlefield of Fortune Technique.

"You want to kill me?" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Yes, I want to kill you!"

Zhang Xuezhou asked earnestly, and the King of Huainan answered earnestly as well.

"Among all the officials in the court who practice Fortune Technique, my speed of movement is the fastest. You can't kill me," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head.

"A frog in a well!"

The King of Huainan shook his dragon head, indicating that the group Zhang Xuezhou had encountered was nothing but a pile of useless trash, and that such a comparison was of no use whatsoever.

"I can let you run three numbers first!"

The King of Huainan, Long, displayed a stern and composed demeanor, but not a hint of carelessness.

Although he mentioned that Zhang Xuezhou should run three numbers first, he was just saying it casually. If Zhang Xuezhou had taken it seriously, he would have been killed.

Before the King of Huainan could even begin to count in his mind, golden light continuously emanated from his body, and wind and rain swirled and formed around him.

This kind of wind and rain not only binds the opponent, but also allows him to heal his body, making it a combination of offense and defense. It also makes the King of Huainan extremely difficult to deal with in the battle of Fortune Technique. As long as he is not killed in one blow, the King of Huainan believes that he will definitely be the final winner.

"My king, then come and chase me now!"

Zhang Xuezhou's arrogant and boastful voice rang out, King of Huainan had already charged forward amidst the wind and rain.

But before he could even touch the dragonfish, the King of Huainan saw the single dragonfish transform into two, then four, sixteen, two hundred and fifty-six...

In just a short moment, this Fortune Technique filled with dragonfish.

"My king, come and chase me!"

The calls echoed again, and the King of Huainan gave a cold snort.

"You dare to flaunt your meager illusionary Divine Ability before me, Your Majesty!"

A fierce storm raged around the King of Huainan, with rainwater constantly weaving through the dragonfish.

But his wind and rain spell not only failed to wipe out these dragonfish, but instead brought him countless biting pains.

This realm of Fortune Technique was incredibly dark, but the two sides clashing in this Fortune Technique battle were as clearly visible as a ray of light in the darkness.

After a chilling aura swept by, the King of Huainan felt the dragonfish beside him sink into darkness, leaving only the sound of the dragonfish frantically tearing at him.

"Break!"

"Break!"

"Break!"

After three loud shouts, the wind and rain around the King of Huainan had turned into a torrential downpour.

But nothing changed. He could feel his body healing rapidly, but he felt his body being mercilessly torn apart, chunks of flesh being devoured by the dragonfish.

"Wu Bei, summon the men immediately!"

The fear of being completely taken advantage of first surfaced in the heart of the King of Huainan. He forced himself to calm down and couldn't help but resort to tricks.

No matter how bizarre Zhang Xuezhou's Fortune Technique are, he also has many helpful assistants.

In his early years, the King of Huainan also gathered many people to practice the Fortune Technique. Whenever these people promoted the Fortune Technique, they could lend him a helping hand and share the burden.

Many ants can kill an elephant; the King of Huainan did not believe that he could not break Zhang Xuezhou's magic by gathering all the ministers of the King of Huainan court.
