I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 195: Nine Heavens Attracting Thunder, Destroying Half-Step Divine Wandering
It was already dawn and it looked like good weather.

However, the sky suddenly changed and became gloomy.

The first snow of this winter fell without any warning.

At first the snow was not heavy, but slow and sporadic. However, it soon became heavier, flying in curls at Qinglong Gate, and gradually accumulated into a thick layer.

The green robe that Chu Zhao was wearing and the bright yellow brocade robe that the old man was wearing began to turn white, and the blue brick floor in front of their feet was also covered with a layer of white.

Neither of them took action, nor did they have any intention of speaking. They just stood quietly in the snow and looked at each other.

No one spoke, everyone was waiting for the moment when the two men would take action.

No one knew how long it had been, but Lei Mengsha, who was supporting Baili Dongjun, finally couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and spoke.

"Master, what are they doing? Are they going to stare each other to death?"

"They are...Zanshi!"

Li Changsheng turned his head and looked at Lei Mengsha beside him. He was stunned for a moment: "Why haven't you sent Baili Dongjun back yet?"

"Master, the courtyard where Baili Dongjun lived is destroyed. How would I know where he lives now? Besides, such scenes of masters fighting each other are too rare. You may not encounter them once in your lifetime. It would be a pity to miss them. Baili Dongjun's injuries are not serious. It's okay for me to take him home after they finish fighting."

Li Changsheng nodded: "That's right, they are about to take action."

As these words were spoken, the snow suddenly became heavier. The snow no longer swirled in the air, but fell straight down, like small flower buds suddenly turning into pieces of goose feathers, with a heavy sense of beauty.

The snowflakes fell on old man Chu Zhaohe and melted away in an instant.

A powerful sword intent and pressure suddenly emanated from the old man, as if to crush everything between heaven and earth.

This wild and domineering aura was not released intentionally, but the aura had accumulated to a certain level and could no longer be fully controlled within the body.

Chu Zhao entered a state of neither sadness nor joy. The internal strength in his body was abundant to the extreme. He was just waiting for the moment when the old man opposite him would make his move.

In the wind and snow, he stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a natural and supreme power. That incomparably powerful power seemed to have solidified into substance.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the ancestor of the Xiao family opposite him with a sarcastic smile on his face.

The Xiao family's ancestor's momentum had already been pressed towards Chu Zhao with the help of the wind and snow, but once it touched the area around him, it was like it had hit an indestructible mountain and could no longer move forward.

Under the Qingmen Dragon, two domineering and powerful auras continued to rise and collide, and the majestic pressure surged in all directions like a tide. Except for Li Changsheng, everyone present felt a stuffy feeling in their chest and difficulty breathing.

"You are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. It would be great if you were a disciple of my Xiao family. In that case, even if I, the ancestor, help you ascend to the throne, it would not be impossible. But you are not one of them." The ancestor of the Xiao family suddenly sighed.

Then he slowly drew out the sword from his back.

The sword is broad and heavy, as black as ink, and exudes a faint bloodthirsty glow.

Although this sword has no blade, it gives people a sense of sharpness, as if it can cut hair and chop iron like mud.

"Do you all like to talk nonsense? If you want to take action, just do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes at the Xiao family ancestor, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "It's snowing heavily today. What should I eat after the fight? Hot pot seems to be a good choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancestor of the Xiao family moved.

His move was as fast as lightning, and the aura emanating from his body swept up the sky full of wind and snow, like a giant frost dragon pouncing towards Chu Zhao.

This attack was fair and square, with no intention of sneak attack at all, and his domineering spirit was fully revealed.

Chu Zhao took a step forward and swung his fist suddenly. Although it was just two simple movements, it made people feel like a dragon walking like a tiger, and the punch made people feel like an emperor with eternal dignity.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the energy of the collision spread out in all directions, shaking the nearby imperial palace.

If Li Changsheng had not protected the people behind him in time, the aftermath of the fight between the two would have seriously injured everyone.

The ancestral sword technique used by the ancestor of the Xiao family is domineering and unparalleled.

Every time Chu Zhao swung his fist, it was equally domineering.

The two men fought together, causing a snowy storm.

The two of them were moving so fast that, except for Li Changsheng, no one else could see their moves clearly. They could only see two figures flashing in the wind and snow and hear the sound of metal clashing.

"Master, how is the battle going?" Lei Mengsha asked curiously.

"Xiao Ba was beaten."

"Chu Zhao is going to lose?" Lei Mengsha was shocked, and then suddenly reacted: "That's not right, Master, didn't you say that he was the third in Tianqi City? How could he be suppressed and beaten? Could it be that... the old man who fought with him happened to be the second in Tianqi City?"

Li Changsheng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Xiao Xiaosi is still far from it."

"Why then?"

"Xiao Ba did it on purpose. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn the Xiao family's Sword Skill of Splitting a Nation."

Li Changsheng smiled as he watched the two people fighting in the snowstorm. "Xiao Xiaosi's martial arts are still good, especially his understanding of the opponent's nation-splitting sword technique, which is considered the best in the past hundred years."

Then he shouted, "If you keep fighting like this, everything around us will be destroyed."

In the wind and snow, the sword energy was running wild and the fist power was surging.

The violent and domineering energy destroyed all the buildings around Qinglongmen, turning the place into ruins soon.

Chu Zhao naturally didn't care. Even if the entire Apocalypse City was destroyed, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit sad. Instead, he would applaud.

But the Xiao family's ancestor can't do that. If they continue fighting like this, the imperial palace will probably be destroyed in the aftermath of their battle.

So, after hearing Li Changsheng's call, he intentionally took Chu Zhao into the air.

As the fight went on, Chu Zhao discovered that something was wrong with the Xiao family's ancestor.

The originally hunched figure became more and more upright, the old and dying face became younger and younger, and the silver hair turned into gray.

Watching his changes, Chu Zhao instantly thought of Gu Chen's final desperate struggle in the play. Everything in front of him was so similar to Gu Chen in the TV series.

After retreating with one blow, Chu Zhao landed on the roof of the attic at the highest point of Tianqi City and said with a smile: "Are you going to make a desperate final attack?"

"There is no other way. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince's strength far exceeds my expectations. I can only make one last desperate attack." The Xiao family's ancestor stood in the air and laughed loudly.

The laughter was full of arrogance and unrestrainedness, but anyone who heard it could feel the helplessness contained in it.

The half-step divine wandering master fought desperately, and even Li Changsheng had to shake... his sleeves when facing him!
Yes, with Li Changsheng's strength, he could probably just shake his sleeves.

But Chu Zhao is not Li Changsheng, and the old man opposite him is a master of the Lieguo Sword Technique. If he uses his full strength to use the Jinglong move, he will probably be seriously injured.

His internal energy was running rapidly, and an extremely cold air spread out, instantly freezing the wind and snow around Chu Zhao, and then condensing into a number of crystal clear three-foot-long swords.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng, who was watching the battle below, was stunned and said, "It has only been a short time since I taught him the Tian Ning Sword Technique, and he has already mastered it? He even drew inferences from what he has learned and created a new sword technique. Xiao Ba is so talented? No, no, this cold energy... is not from the same source as the Tian Ning Sword Technique. It is not the Tian Ning Sword Technique."

Just as Li Changsheng said, he was not using the Tian Ning sword technique, but the Han Tian sword technique.

This sword technique has four moves, namely Red Clouds, Brewing Snow, End of the Year and Cold Weather.

"Brew snow!"

Chu Zhao shouted softly, and at the same time put his two fingers together and pointed the sword at the Xiao family ancestor who was completing the final blow.

One after another, the flying swords of ice and snow gathered into a torrent of flying swords like a flood, rushing towards the ancestor of the Xiao family.

He acted in time, and although he interrupted the Xiao family ancestor's concentration of sword intent, the sword force was already formed.

I only heard the Xiao family's ancestor shout:
"Shatter the sky!"

The sword shone like a startling rainbow, making ordinary people feel awe and unable to look directly at it. The sword was raised, and a huge light as bright as the sun met the raging torrent of ice and snow flying sword, breaking it into pieces.

Then, the hundred-foot-long sword light split the black clouds in the sky into two halves, and came towards Chu Zhao with the force of splitting the sky and splitting the earth.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gap created by the sword energy, and along with the hundred-foot-long sword light, it shone on the mountain-like golden bell.

"Dang~"

The deep and dull bell sound instantly resounded through heaven and earth.

The golden bell shattered, and at the same time, the hundred-foot sword light also dissipated.

The majestic sound waves and air waves, one after another, surged in all directions like a huge wave.

The people below stared blankly at the scene in the sky, their mouths wide open in shock.

Li Changsheng laughed frivolously and said, "Haha, Xiaoba is too proud."

"Isn't this his full strength?!" Lei Mengsha smacked his lips in astonishment.

Li Changsheng shook his head: "Xiao Ba's strongest martial art should be the sword, but he didn't use the sword today."

"That torrent of flying swords just now wasn't a sword?" Lei Mengsha retorted.

"Yes, but it's not his strongest move."

Chu Zhao, who was standing on the rooftop, had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Looking at the Xiao family ancestor who was rapidly aging not far away, he felt angry.

"You are the first person to hurt me since my debut. How do you want to die?"

"Really? Haha... cough cough..."

A violent coughing stopped the laughter of the Xiao family ancestor. It took a long time for him to recover. He looked at the heavy sword in his hand with gentle eyes as if he was looking at his beloved woman. Then he slowly said, "I got this sword by accident when I was wandering around the world forty years ago. It has been unknown until now. Your Highness the Ninth Prince, could you please make this sword famous?"

Chu Zhao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, what's the name of the sword?"

"It was originally nameless, but later I named it Xuanyun, the heavy sword Xuanyun!"

The ancestor of the Xiao family threw the sword in his hand to Chu Zhao, looked up at the rising sun in the sky, with an expression of ease and enjoyment on his face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Please, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, give me a ride."

"Thunder rises...falls!"

Chu Zhao stretched out his hand, and the dark clouds that had been broken gathered together again, with flashes of lightning.

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud thunder, and a thick purple lightning that connected the sky and the earth fell from the sky.

The purple sky lightning struck directly at the ancestor of the Xiao family, and the whole person turned into ashes in an instant, as if he had never been to the world.

Chu Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and came down holding the Xuanyun heavy sword.

"Xiao Ba, you're amazing. You even know the Nine Heavens Lightning Attraction Technique."

The Nine Heavens Lightning Technique is the famous skill of Daoist master Daojun.

"I don't know as much as you do, and I'm not as good as you."

"How's the injury?"

"It's OK, but one more wave won't do."

Chu Zhao looked towards the direction of the imperial city and saw Zhuo Qing, who was watching the battle above, retreating towards the palace. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Noticing his expression, Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the royal family. If they attack you in groups, you will die!"

This means...it seems that there is still a half-step of spiritual wandering in the Beili royal family.

Chu Zhao nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

"Xiao Xiaosi is quite powerful. If you hadn't interrupted him in time, if he hadn't pursued the strongest sword, Sky-Splitting, and used the perfect Dragon-Shocking move, you would have been seriously injured if not killed today."

Li Changsheng said in a serious tone, and then laughed: "Of course, there are not so many ifs in the world. In the end, you won, and he paid the price of his life for his wrong choice."

At the end of his speech, he let out a long sigh. There was one less familiar person in this world.

Chu Zhao also sighed: "After all, I was too confident. If I hadn't let him go, I wouldn't have gotten hurt."

That's right, he was too confident.

Forget that even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit.

When he found out that the old guy was going to fight to the death, he should not have retreated, but should have stuck to him.

He thought he could crush the old guy, but he didn't expect that the other party would burst out with the strength of the Profound Divine Wandering Realm with the realm of Half-Step Divine Wandering.

If he hadn't interrupted it in time, he would have been seriously injured.

After all, he is only at the peak of the Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm now, and is still a step away from the Divine Wandering Profound Realm.

But after this battle with the Xiao family's ancestor, Chu Zhao was confident that he could break through to the Shenyou Xuan realm within half a month.

However, it is obvious that the Beili court will not give him the time and stable environment to break through, and he will definitely be hunted down endlessly.

Li Changsheng naturally didn't know what Chu Zhao was thinking, but he heard his tone was a little depressed, so he smiled and comforted him: "People always have to go through lessons to grow up. This injury is also a good thing for you. No one has a smooth sailing life. You don't have to think too much. Come on, follow me to the school."

As he spoke, Li Changsheng had already grabbed Chu Zhao's shoulders.

Chu Zhao's expression changed: "What if I don't go?"

Li Changsheng smiled confidently: "You can't beat me, and you are injured right now. The academy is the safest place and the most suitable place for you to recover."

In fact, Chu Zhao’s injury was not serious. He would recover in half an hour at most, so there was no need to worry about recovery.

However, he does need a safe environment to retreat and break through.

Although he didn't know why Li Changsheng wanted to protect him, the prince of Western Chu, he could see that Li Changsheng really wanted to protect him.

In other words, Jixia Academy is indeed the safest place in Tianqi City right now.

What's more important is that looking at Li Changsheng's posture, if he doesn't go to the academy, the other party will definitely take action, and he really can't beat Li Changsheng now.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhao had already made up his mind, but he said, "The school is the safest place, but I don't think so."

"No one dares to cause trouble in the school. I, Li Changsheng, said so."

The sound was not loud, but it made people feel as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

A moment later, a feminine voice was heard from the palace.

"Mr. Li's orders are such that we dare not disobey them. As long as the remnants of the Western Chu are in the academy, we will never set foot in it. But Your Majesty also hopes that Mr. Li can keep his promise. Once you have dealt with the affairs of the academy, please come to the palace to have a talk."

Li Changsheng ignored Zhuoqing who was delivering the message, and smiled at Chu Zhao, saying, "You heard it, come on, follow me to the academy."

Chu Zhao suddenly realized: "So that's why you wanted me to become your disciple. It turns out you wanted to lock me up in the academy."

Li Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You have already taken off with the wind and turned into a dragon in the sky. The school can't lock you up, and I don't want to lock you up either."

"Why then?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back to school."
