Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 208: Creation of Mind
In a flash, Zhao Qi'an thought of the scene when he met the Imperial Master in the Heavenly Book Pavilion that day.

Considering that he was being attacked right now, but the Astronomical Patrol had not shown up yet...it was hard for him not to think that today's assassination was a test of him by the Imperial Master.

However, he had not expected that the Imperial Master's test of him would be so simple and crude. He actually sent people to attack and kill him in broad daylight on his way to the government office. This was clearly an attempt to force him to take action.

This did not fit Zhao Qi'an's impression of the imperial teacher, but he had no time to think deeply about it at the moment.

After confirming that the people from the Astronomical Observatory would not arrive in time, Zhao Qi'an acted decisively and immediately asked Nie Xiuyuan to attack with all his strength.

If the celestial warriors want to move around conveniently after entering Kyoto City, they have to register with the Sky Patrol Observatory, exposing their every move to the Sky Patrol Observatory's field of vision.

But Nie Xiuyuan had followed Zhao Qian'an to the capital for ten years, and had always followed him as a horse-raising servant. Although he occasionally helped Zhao Qian'an do some small things in secret, he had never really exposed his cultivation unscrupulously.

Because he is a celestial warrior who is not on the list of the Patrol Sky Observatory.

He didn't like having a pair of eyes looking down at him.

But when Zhao Qian'an asked him to use his full strength, he did not hesitate at all and burst out with all his strength.

As he took a step forward, his entire aura changed drastically.

When he swung his sword again, what caught the eyes of the three men in black cloaks was the huge Dharma image slowly condensing behind him.

That is——Shura!
With one blow of the knife, three heads flew into the air.

It was not until this moment that the face hidden under the black cloak was revealed. It was a monster that looked neither human nor ape.

There was lingering fear in the giant eyes that occupied one-third of the face. The three heads were exactly the same.

The Shura image behind Nie Xiuyuan shook its eight arms, and one of its arms stretched out to grab the soul out of the corpse.

But at this moment, whether it was the three heads or the three headless cavities that had lost their heads, they were all corroding at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into three wisps of blood and gas, and drilling towards the two surviving black-cloaked monsters.

The two strange men in black cloaks looked at each other, immediately abandoned Zhao Qi'an who was so close to them, and fled in the east and west directions.

This crisis was over with just one serious blow from Nie Xiuyuan.

……

Not far from the street where Zhao Qi'an was attacked, there were many black-armored cavalry hiding in Dongfang Lane.

The leader was a tall and strong man. The black horse he was riding was much bigger than the other horses and was extremely ferocious.

He listened attentively to the fighting sounds coming from the street next door, looked helplessly to the side and said, "Master Imperial Master, are we just going to watch?"

Next to the tall black horse stood a woman in white clothes and a plain skirt, looking out of place among the burly warriors around her who were wearing armor and holding swords.

But everyone looked at her with awe.

Even the black horse, which was very human-like, was cowering at this moment, and didn't even dare to snort, for fear of disturbing the woman.

Shuiyuexian stretched out her right hand at this moment, and an oval shuttle was "floating" three inches away from her palm.

This object is short and narrow at the upper and lower ends and wide and round in the middle, like a small boat. The top and bottom are connected by arcs, which continuously disperse and gather as it rotates, forming completely different "surfaces".

This item is the most famous treasure of the Astronomical Observatory, the "Huntianyi", which has suppressed countless celestial warriors and dared not show up in Kyoto City.

Even the generals of the Astronomical Observatory can only use the most basic functions of this treasure.

Only in the hands of Shuiyuexian can it play its greatest role.

And today, she actually brought this treasure out of the Astronomical Observatory.

When Shui Yuexian heard Qi Lianzhi's helpless words, she just said lightly: "Wait a little longer."

What are you waiting for?
Qi Lianzhi didn't know either. He didn't even know who was fighting over there.

He was also curious about who could have caused the Imperial Master, who had never been involved in any matter, to personally take action.

After a while, the ground suddenly trembled, and the people around suddenly pointed at the sky with looks of fear on their faces.

When Qilianzhi looked up, he saw a three-faced, eight-armed Shura shadow emerging.

"The mental image of creation?!"

He was horrified, as he never expected that there would be a powerful person at the second level of the Creation Realm in this dispute.

No wonder the Imperial Master came here in person!

Now in the Jingdu Tianjian, General Ling Fang is not here, and he is the one with the highest cultivation. But Qi Lianzhi is only at the peak of the third rank, and he is still struggling to find his own mind image. He has no chance of winning against a real second rank creation realm expert.

Fortunately, there is the national teacher.

Qi Lianzhi felt somewhat fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, Emperor Tianwu had returned to the palace from Mount Xumi during this period, and the National Master had also returned to the Astronomical Observatory. Otherwise, with the National Master away and General Ling Fang having gone to Jingzhou again, if he wanted to deal with a second-grade Creation Realm powerhouse, he would probably have to go to the palace to invite the Fifth Marquis to come.

If that happens, the Astronomical Observatory will lose all its face.

Qi Lianzhi couldn't help but look at the national teacher beside him.

But for some reason, he felt that after seeing the powerful man of the second level of the Creation Realm take action, the National Master seemed to have lost interest all of a sudden and looked a little bored.

She raised her left hand, extended her index finger, and pointed her fingertip towards the "Armillary Sphere".

A light suddenly burst out from the top of the armillary sphere.

……

Inner city, Aquarius Lane.

Five streams of blood were like snakes, crawling on the ground and finally disappearing under a cloak.

The strange man in the black cloak raised his head slightly, and his huge eyes looked at the Shura Dharma image several streets away, with fear in his eyes.

Second-grade fortune... Ruan Yu never thought of me being alive!

With just one strike, he cut down the three incarnations that it had painstakingly cultivated.

It had to escape. The strong man in the Creation Realm might have locked onto its aura. If it didn't run away, he would find it sooner or later.

Just as it was thinking about escaping, suddenly the wind and clouds started to surge in the sky.

A beam of light fell from the sky and landed squarely on it.

"Chirp chirp..."

The strange ape was enveloped by the beam of light and let out a sharp cry of pain. The three dantians in its body were blocked by an overwhelming force.

Can't escape, can't avoid, can't hide!

It felt the strength in its body draining away, but it couldn't even struggle.

……

Shuiyuexian withdrew her fingers, and the light emitted by the armillary sphere gradually dimmed.

She ordered Qi Lianzhi, "Send a few people to Baoping Lane to bring the prisoner back."

Qilianzhi was a little surprised.

Is this solved?
But he didn't dare to ask more. He looked in the direction where the battle had just taken place and asked, "Then here..."

Shui Yuexian seemed to have lost interest and just ordered, "You decide."

Qi Lianzhi was a little confused, but he still bowed and accepted the order: "Yes."

He watched Shui Yuexian leave until the figure of the national teacher disappeared from everyone's sight. Only then did Qi Lianzhi straighten his back.
Then, he said to a middle-aged subordinate beside him, "Captain Lin."

"The end will be here."

"Take your men and go to Baoping Lane."

"Here!"

After the patrol captain surnamed Lin led his men away, Qi Lianzhi looked around at the rest of the people, pulled the reins, and shouted loudly:

"The rest of you, follow me!"

"Here!"

The military flag was raised and the horses’ hooves roared.

The Astronomical Observatory's team was divided into two waves and rushed in two different directions.
