Chapter 229 was timely enough!
"This formation!"
The expressions of the Celestial Venerable, the Earthly Venerable, and Ding Hong, the 'Hidden Dragon' shrouded in black robes, all changed.
This so-called Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Annihilation Array is truly terrifying; even they felt a sense of dread.
Only Xuan Hai's expression remained unchanged; he spoke calmly:
"Even though this formation is powerful, it cannot change your fate today!"
finished,
hum!
Xuan Hai took a step forward.
The void trembled, and Buddhist light appeared and disappeared. He gently threw a punch at Qian Ming.
Faced with this punch, everyone in the palace stood there dumbfounded.
This seemingly light punch actually brought them to a standstill, even the top-ranking experts in the palace were no exception. In their eyes, Xuan Hai was a living Buddha!
The experts of the Imperial Guards standing behind the Celestial Venerable all showed excitement in their eyes. Since the high monks on the Celestial Venerable's side were confident, they could certainly gain merit by following the emperor this time!
The Buddhist and Taoist traditions have been passed down for thousands of years; how could a mere Emperor Qianlong compare to them?
"Great Burning Heaven Fist!"
"I never expected that you, Xuanhai, would also have borrowed martial arts from Tantric Buddhism!"
"However, this punch, which incorporates the Great Buddha Light Fist of your Rotten Chess Temple, is indeed much more impressive than those useless Tantric practitioners!"
Qianming spoke calmly.
Without any fancy moves, it was just a single punch.
Ouch!
The moment that punch was unleashed, it seemed as if an ancient, ferocious beast was roaring within the palace.
Even with the protection of the Heavenly Venerable and the Earthly Venerable, the four guards of the Imperial Guard were still overwhelmed by this fierce power, coughing up blood and swaying precariously.
boom!
boom!
Two terrifying fist beams collided.
The palace-protecting array trembled and radiated light.
Even so, under that terrifying fluctuation, countless buildings in the palace were shattered and turned to dust.
Among the smoke and dust.
Two figures shot out like lightning and collided.
In an instant, Qianming and Xuanhai exchanged hundreds of blows. Apart from Tianzun and a few others, no one could see their movements clearly.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The two figures each retreated a hundred paces and stood firmly in place.
Qianming looked at Xuanhai and smiled faintly:
"Xuanhai, your martial arts are indeed not weak. Even compared to me, you are not inferior!"
"It's a pity this is the imperial palace!"
"I've been preparing for so many years, all for the sake of wiping out the Supervisor and all of you traitors in one fell swoop!"
"Although the supervisor is not here today, I have no choice but to get rid of you traitors and rebels!"
"The Four Symbols Return to One!"
As Qianming finished speaking, the Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Annihilation Array, which covered the entire palace, began to operate.
Ouch!
hold head high!
The four spirits are roaring.
The four-colored light transformed into a celestial sword, which slashed fiercely towards the location where Xuan Hai, Tian Zun, and the others were.
The Celestial Venerable and the others exchanged glances.
boom!
A terrifying aura emanated from them, their auras intertwined.
Ouch!
hold head high!
Four phantom images of spirits appeared above the heads of Xuan Hai, Tian Zun, Di Zun, and Ding Hong, roaring as they charged toward the four-colored celestial sword.
boom!
The Four Spirits and the Four Colored Heavenly Swords collided.
The Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Annihilation Array trembled violently, reducing most of the palace buildings to ruins, and countless people perished inside.
Cough!
Cough!
Both Di Zun and Ding Hong had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
The Earthly Venerable looked at Qian Ming and shook his head, saying:
"This formation is indeed remarkable!"
The Celestial Venerable's face was stern, and he said in a cold voice:
"Although the Four Symbols Mystic Array inherited by my Heavenly Sect is not as good as the array you concocted, with the four of us working together, what can your array do to us?"
Xuan Hai also put his hands together and said:
"Emperor Qian also knows that the Supervisor is eyeing us covetously. If we continue to fight, it will only end in a lose-lose situation."
"If Emperor Qian hands over the dragon vein today, we will retreat immediately!"
"I will never make a move again within the next five hundred years!"
……
At this time,
The palace was already surrounded by experts from all around the capital.
Some high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital dared not approach the palace, so they sent their best guards to stake out the vicinity of the palace.
Even some ordinary martial arts practitioners came to watch the show near the palace.
Although I don't know what happened in the palace.
However, the activation of the palace's grand formation and the apparent outbreak of a major battle inside indicate that something significant has definitely occurred.
"Yo yo yo!"
"The ground is trembling. Could it be that a first-rank expert has really stormed into the palace?"
"An ordinary first-rank official wouldn't dare go to the palace, would they? The Great Qian Dynasty has a history of over a thousand years and has countless experts. Isn't the head of the Eastern Depot a strongman among first-rank officials?"
"I think I heard that the Grand Eunuch is not in the capital!"
"This must be an ordinary first-rank official going to the palace. Back when the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli destroyed the Human Sect, the area within dozens of miles of the Human Sect was cracked. This commotion is definitely not from some experts fighting!"
These words immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Really? Dozens of miles away?"
"How could this be fake? I heard that a deep ditch stretching a hundred miles outside Xianshui County was carved out by Xiao Bieli with a single stroke."
hiss!
Countless people took a breath.
A single cut creates a ravine a hundred miles deep?
Is that human being?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Master is in the capital, get out of here!"
"..."
Just at this time,
Mu Hongyun, Han Cang, and three others carried the sedan chair, moving quickly along the long street.
Ordinary martial arts practitioners would quickly make way upon seeing this scene.
But at this time, those who could occupy positions near the palace gates were all well-known and influential figures in the capital.
Some people looked towards Mu Hongyun and his group of four.
Three old men and a still-attractive woman, all travel-worn, looked like they had been on a long journey.
Moreover, judging from their appearances, they were all unfamiliar faces, not renowned masters or celestial beings in the martial arts world.
The group approaching the palace gate wore expressions of disdain.
Yang Kai, a retainer of the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion, sneered repeatedly:
"Don't you even know what time it is? You came here in such a fancy sedan chair."
"This is the capital, not your poor, remote backwater."
As soon as Yang Kai finished speaking,
With a 'bang', his body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
puff!
at the same time,
Han Cang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Xiao Bieli in the sedan chair with fear.
"Master, I only intervened because he offended you..."
Xiao Bieli said calmly:
"What did I tell you when you came?"
"You all just carry the sedan chair properly. If anyone dares to speak disrespectfully, I will kill them!"
"Let it go this time!"
"Next time, if you overstep your bounds again, I'll have no choice but to kill you!"
Cold sweat dripped from Han Cang's forehead.
He knew Xiao Bieli wouldn't joke with him; if she attacked again, he might really die.
He just didn't understand why Xiao Bieli had to personally intervene when Xiao was just killing a mere fourth-grade grandmaster, and one who was so ignorant.
Could it be that Xiao Bieli, the Demon Blade, is truly addicted to killing, just as rumored?
"It's...it's...it's Senior Han from the Xuan Yin Sect...you sir..."
A third-grade Grandmaster knelt on the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
He was also from Posuo Prefecture. He had seen Han Cang from afar when he was young. This man was a first-rank master. Now he was actually carrying a sedan chair for someone.
Han Cang completely ignored the speaker's meaning.
Xiao Bieli lifted the curtain and looked at the great array that enveloped the palace. He took a step and appeared at the edge of the array.
"Luckily we arrived in time!"
"Otherwise, if everyone is killed, where will I get my experience?"
