Chapter 26: First Battle with Emperor Qing, Defeat
The weather is nice today, with clear skies and no wind in the valley.

But at this moment, the wind suddenly blew.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, the whole valley rustled and dust flew.

Hong Sixiang raised his hand to block the dust, then looked up at the two people above, only to see that they were moving at this time.

Li Chengzong was extremely fast, and with a sound of breaking through the air, he rushed straight towards Emperor Qing like a cannonball. Terrifying true energy burst out from Emperor Qing's body, and he punched Li Chengzong's fist.

The next moment, fists collided, and a huge force burst out in the air, like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, and the terrifying energy waves spread out like lake water.

The rippling energy fluctuations brought about a strong hurricane, which seemed capable of breaking the swaying trees at any time, and the branches and leaves were dancing wildly in the sky.

Hong Sixiang stared upwards without blinking, he had been at the peak of the ninth rank for many years. Although his body and the martial arts he practiced could not perfectly match, if he could learn something from the fight between the two, it might be possible for him to break through to the grandmaster level.

This is also the reason why Emperor Qing asked him to come along.

In the sky, the father and son did not retreat.

"With just your true energy, you are no match for me."

Emperor Qing spoke calmly, but his tone was filled with unparalleled confidence.

"Father, you are a little too early."

Li Chengzong practiced the Heaven and Earth Furnace Sutra frantically, and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang ball in his lower Dantian spun rapidly, and the true energy in his body surged out.

There was a hint of shock in Emperor Qing's eyes. He increased his strength to resist Li Chengzong's wanton outburst of true qi, and stood motionless in mid-air.

At this moment, the situation between the two of them reversed, and Emperor Qing became an insurmountable mountain.

"Yes, in terms of true energy alone, you are no weaker than Ye Liuyun."

In the world of Joy of Life, of the four great masters in the world, except Ye Liuyun who achieved his success through his own understanding, the others all practiced the secrets of the temple, and the secrets of the temple were developed through countless years of research by super-intelligent AI.

It is undeniable that Ye Liuyun has a high level of comprehension, but he still cannot compare with the temple's super-intelligent AI. This can be seen from the fact that he is the weakest among the four masters.

Therefore, his development of himself is far inferior to that of the other three masters, which means that the amount of true energy stored in his body is not as good as that of the other three masters.

Li Chengzong practiced the skills given by the system, and melted the Great Sun Demonic Scripture practiced by Hong Sixiang. His skills were not weaker than the temple skills, and were even stronger than the temple skills.

He had just broken through to the Grandmaster realm and had an astonishing amount of true energy. Now he was almost bursting out with all his strength, almost the same as Ye Liuyun, so it was not a surprise.

It is impossible to defeat Emperor Qing by just fighting with true Qi, but combat power is not just about the amount of true Qi.

If you only look at the amount of true Qi, then why fight? Wouldn't it be better to just compete with true Qi directly?

Li Chengzong understood what Emperor Qing meant, restrained some of his explosive true energy, and directly engaged in close combat with Emperor Qing.

Both father and son were extremely fast. In just a short moment, they had already attacked dozens of times. Most of the time, Li Chengzong was the one attacking, while Emperor Qing was just passively defending and rarely took the initiative to attack.

Emperor Qing cultivated the domineering Qi, and with the word "domineering" in it, it is impossible for him to be a passive defense type, so Emperor Qing did not show his true ability.

Li Chengzong knew it, but he hadn't shown his true abilities yet.

His strongest attack is his sword, not his fists.

In a short period of time, the father and son exchanged hundreds of moves, but because Li Chengzong controlled his true energy, the noise was much smaller than the first time, but it also stirred up branches and dust all over the sky.

In Hong Sixiang's eyes, the two of them were like fighting in the center of a tornado.

Emperor Qing became more and more frightened as the fight went on. His son was only seventeen years old, but his moves and body movements were extremely sophisticated and agile, and his ability to absorb knowledge was also very strong. He only used a move once, and he could immediately reproduce it on his son.

If he only fought with martial arts moves, he found that he would be at a disadvantage. Now he could firmly suppress his seventeen-year-old son, all thanks to his strong inner energy, which allowed him to respond to ever-changing situations with the same strategy.

He had only experienced this situation in one person, and that person was Wu Zhu.

Although Wu Zhu does not have true Qi, he is the strongest in the world in other aspects. If he does not have true Qi as a foundation, none of the four great masters can be a match for Wu Zhu.

However, the son in front of him was actually slightly better than Wu Zhu in terms of moves and body movements, but slightly inferior to Wu Zhu in strength. But even so, he was still very terrifying. You have to know that his son has cultivated true qi.

More importantly, his son is only seventeen years old and has plenty of time to grow up.

Because this battle only determines who is better, not life or death.

Under this premise, Emperor Qing was naturally somewhat restrained when taking action.

Now, regardless of his true energy, he could almost be said to be beaten by his own son, and Emperor Qing was also a little angry.

Good guy, I, as a father, held back, but you, as a son, got excited instead. So don't blame me, as a father, for not showing you mercy.

So, he gradually increased his energy, took the initiative to attack, and started to fight for real.

Li Chengzong was not surprised but happy.

He originally wanted to see the gap between himself and Emperor Qing, and this happened exactly as he wanted.

After another attack was repelled, Li Chengzong stood on the crown of a tree and said, "Dad, you better be careful next time. This is my first time using it. Don't blame me if I hurt you."

"By you?!"

Li Chengzong did not reply, but closed his eyes and concentrated on his sword intent.

Emperor Qing did not interrupt him, but just watched. The more he watched, the more shocked he became. He mobilized more of his true energy and formed an energy storm around his body.

On the other side, as Li Chengzong opened his eyes, in an instant, the sword intent soared into the sky, and the sky seemed to be torn apart by his sword intent.

At this moment, Xie Bian, who was originally strolling with Li Chengze in Kyoto City, suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the imperial city.

"What is this?!" Xie Bian exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengze looked confused.

"I sense a powerful sword intention, it's from a Grandmaster!"

Sword intent, or grandmaster, Li Chengze only thought of one person.

"Si Gu Jian is here to assassinate again?"

"It's not Si Gu Jian's sword intent. That sword intent gives me a vague feeling. It can't be Si Gu Jian's sword intent."

"Are you sure?" "Your Highness, I am sure it is definitely not Si Gu Jian."

"Are you sure he is a Grand Master?"

"I'm sure. Just the sword power alone makes me feel palpitations. It can only be a grandmaster."

As a ninth-rank swordsman, Xie Bian is very confident in his own strength and perception.

"Go and see."

At the same time, people from the Qin family, the Ye family, the Imperial Palace, and the Supervisory Council in Kyoto all looked towards the rear of the Imperial City.

Among them, Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the guards in the palace, summoned the palace guards and headed directly towards the direction where the sword intent came from.

Just as they were rushing towards the valley, Li Chengzong stretched out his hand.

"Here comes the sword!"

The sword held by Hong Sixiang below flew up into the sky uncontrollably and fell into Li Chengzong's hands.

With the sword in his hand, the sword intent on his body became stronger, and the big tree beneath him could not withstand the strong sword intent and shattered with a loud bang.

On the other side, Emperor Qing also had a strong inner energy, and the raging energy storm shattered the trees around him.

"Dad, be careful."

Emperor Qing nodded without saying anything, and took the initiative to rush towards Li Chengzong.

Unlike the previous close combat where fists collided, the collision between the domineering true energy and the sword energy was like a cannon explosion, with an extremely terrifying sound.

Looking at the noise caused by the fight between the two, Hong Sixiang swallowed his saliva and left the valley without saying a word.

Just from the aftermath of the battle, even a ninth-grade master like him would suffer some injuries.

In the valley, the father and son fought more and more loudly.

Every collision is like a thunderclap.

Although this place is far from the imperial city, such a momentum will definitely alarm the capital, so Emperor Qing's fist wrapped in true energy hit the tip of the sword, forcing Li Chengzong to retreat and said angrily: "This is the last move, let's leave quickly after the fight."

At this time, Emperor Qing no longer had the majesty of an emperor as before. The black dragon robe on his body was torn by the sword energy, just like he was wearing tattered clothes. Occasionally, blood could be seen flowing out between the cracks, and he looked very miserable.

Emperor Qing was both happy and angry about this.

I'm glad that my son is very powerful, especially his swordsmanship, which is really weird.

There was no pattern to follow in those sword techniques that were wrapped in sword energy. They were like stabbing out from the void, making it impossible to defend against them.

In other words, his domineering true energy was really domineering, otherwise if any other grandmaster came, his son would be able to kill the opponent with his strange swordsmanship.

Even Si Gu Jian, who also uses a sword, is the same.

Si Gu Jian's indomitable swordsmanship is simply not on the same level as his son's swordsmanship.

As for being angry, he was naturally angry that Li Chengzong did not consider his face as a father at all.

Li Chengzong's clothes were intact and he still looked so heroic, but in fact he was much worse off than Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing only suffered some external injuries, but he suffered internal injuries.

"Okay, that's the last resort."

Now Li Chengzong no longer shouted to Emperor Qing to be careful. After the battle just now, he knew that he could not kill Emperor Qing.

According to his calculation method, Emperor Qing's combat power is at least over four thousand, and he is only a little over two thousand. Even if he tries his best, he can only injure Emperor Qing.

The father and son stopped talking, looked at each other, and then gathered their strength.

As the two men's true Qi circulated, terrifying aura emanated from them.

Emperor Qing frantically absorbed the nuclear radiation energy from the outside world to keep the true energy in his body saturated, and then used part of the true energy to deal with his son's last move.

Li Chengzong controlled his true qi and condensed it into sword energy, preparing to give Emperor Qing a surprise.

At this moment, all the masters above the seventh rank in Kyoto could clearly feel that there was an extremely terrifying sword intent in the rear of the imperial city, as if it was going to chop down the sun in the sky.

Looking at Emperor Qing again, after replenishing his true energy, all his previous might disappeared, and he just stood there quietly, like an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

However, Li Chengzong became more and more solemn because Emperor Qing gave him a feeling of being in his own world.

After a while, the father and son attacked at the same time, Li Chengzong swung his sword and Emperor Qing swung his fist.

The sword energy and true energy collide.

"Boom~"

A terrifying energy erupted in the valley. In an instant, the mountains shook and the earth trembled. Sword energy and true energy rushed straight into the sky...

The huge energy shock wave directly knocked Li Chengzong back, breaking several trees, and finally he hit a stone wall. The stone wall on his back suddenly cracked to form a huge spider web.

Amid the flying dust, Emperor Qing floated forward and looked at his son leaning against the stone wall. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Chengzong say, "I lost."

"You're still far from it, kid."

Emperor Qing looked down at his son with disdain on his face, but his tone was filled with indescribable pride.

"Dad, you...Poof!"

Before he could say a word, Li Chengzong couldn't help spitting out blood and fainted.

"Oops, that was too harsh."

Emperor Qing was startled and quickly bent down to check his son's injuries, then he let out a long sigh.

He picked up Li Chengzong's shuriken and made some arrangements, and finally carried both the man and the sword out of the valley.

Don’t ask me why I don’t carry myself. The reason is that I have an injury on my back.
