The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 202 Final Showdown

Deep in the ancient and solemn palace, a storm that determines fate is quietly brewing. Li Yi, a young and resolute warrior, stands in the magnificent palace corridor, looking at the distant sky, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knows that the upcoming final showdown with his brother is not only about personal honor and disgrace, but also about the rise and fall of the family, and even the future of the entire dynasty.

Inside the palace, the tranquility and peace of the past had been replaced by a tense atmosphere. Every corner was filled with depression and uneasiness, as if the air had frozen. The palace guards looked solemn, holding their weapons tightly, ready for battle. The palace maids and eunuchs carefully shuttled between the palaces, not daring to make any noise, for fear of provoking the wrath that was about to erupt.

Li Yi was wearing a black battle armor, the metal scales on it flashing coldly in the weak sunlight. His eyes were firm and resolute, revealing a fearless courage. However, under that resolute appearance, his heart was churning with complex emotions. After all, he was about to face his own brother, the relative who had played and laughed together and grown up together.

Beside Li Yi, Lin Xiao stood gracefully. She was wearing a simple long dress, her beautiful face was full of worry, but her eyes showed her firm support for Li Yi. She gently held Li Yi's hand, feeling the sweat in his palm, and said softly: "Li Yi, you don't have to worry, I believe in your justice and strength. No matter what the result is, I will always be by your side." Li Yi turned his head and looked at Lin Xiao's gentle and encouraging eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said: "Xiao'er, with your support, I will definitely go all out."

At this time, in the square of the palace, Li Yi's brother Li Feng was leading his elite troops to wait in battle. Li Feng was wearing a gorgeous golden armor, shining in the sun, and his face was full of arrogance and conceit. In his view, this duel was just the last step towards the pinnacle of power. He firmly believed that he would defeat Li Yi and become the master of this dynasty.

With the sound of a dull drum, the prelude to the final showdown slowly opened. Li Yi took firm steps and walked towards the center of the square like a shining star. Lin Xiao followed closely behind him, her eyes always stayed on Li Yi, like a warm sunshine, praying silently in her heart.

Li Yi and Li Feng stood opposite each other in the center of the square, their eyes met, and in an instant, it seemed as if time had stopped. The brothers' eyes were filled with complex emotions, anger, sadness, helplessness, and more importantly, the desire for power and the persistence for victory.

Li Feng was the first to break the silence. He sneered and said, "Li Yi, you are such an ignorant fellow. How dare you become my enemy? Today is the day you die!" Li Yi was not moved at all. He said calmly, "Li Feng, you have lost yourself by doing whatever it takes for power. I am fighting you today not for personal grudges, but to save this dynasty and our family!"

After that, Li Yi drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Li Feng. Seeing this, Li Feng also drew out his own sword, roared, and rushed towards Li Yi. In an instant, the swords flashed and the shadows crossed, and the two began a fierce fight.

Li Yi was agile and his swordsmanship was sharp, with every move full of power and skill. His sword drew graceful arcs in the air and stabbed towards Li Feng like lightning. Li Feng was not to be outdone. With his powerful force and rich combat experience, he resolved Li Yi's attacks again and again and launched a fierce counterattack.

For a while, the square was filled with shouts of killing and the sound of metal colliding. The battle between the two brothers was in a stalemate, and neither could easily gain the upper hand.

On the battlefield, the flashing of swords and the bloody wind filled the air. The two brothers shuttled through the crowd, their moves were as fierce as a storm. Every attack was a deadly threat, and every defense showed a tenacious will. Their eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if this battle was their whole life.

The soldiers in the square were also fighting hard. Their shouts and screams intertwined, forming a thrilling scene. The ground was stained with blood, and broken weapons were scattered all over the ground. However, the brothers' fight did not stop. Their figures were looming in the blood mist, like two ferocious beasts fighting each other.

Lin Xiao watched anxiously, her heart in her throat. She knew Li Yi's strength very well, but facing Li Feng's crazy attack, she couldn't help but sweat for Li Yi. She prayed silently in her heart: "Li Yi, you must be safe!"

At this moment, Li Yi suddenly discovered a flaw in Li Feng. He seized the opportunity without hesitation and stabbed Li Feng in the chest. Li Feng was shocked and hurriedly dodged sideways, but was still scratched on the arm by Li Yi's sword. Blood stained his golden armor red, and Li Feng's face became even more ferocious.

"Li Yi, you bastard!" Li Feng was furious. He swung his sword wildly and launched an even more violent attack. Li Yi responded calmly. He cleverly avoided Li Feng's attack and kept looking for opportunities to counterattack.

In the fierce battle, Li Yi gradually gained the upper hand. His sword skills became more and more fierce, and his moves became more and more exquisite, forcing Li Feng to defend himself without any chance to fight back. Li Feng began to feel powerless, his breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

"Li Feng, give up! You've already lost!" Li Yi shouted loudly.

"No! I won't lose! I won't lose to you!" Li Feng roared unwillingly.

However, no matter how Li Feng struggled, he could not change the situation. In the end, Li Yi pierced Li Feng's chest with a sword. Li Feng's eyes widened and he slowly fell down.

The battle was over, and the square was silent. Li Yi looked at his brother lying on the ground, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness. He slowly squatted down, closed Li Feng's eyes, and murmured to himself: "Brother, why did it come to this..."

Lin Xiao ran over, she hugged Li Yi tightly, and said softly: "Li Yi, everything is over. This is not your fault."

Li Yi stood up, looked at the sky, and sighed deeply. He knew that although the duel was over, there was still a long way to go in the future. He was shouldering the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the dynasty and restoring the family's glory.
