Huangxiu

Chapter 1189 Fighting
This immense power descended from the sky, like a mountain pressing down.

Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, sheathed his sword, and formed a hand seal with his palms.

Great Demon-Subduing Seal.

A purple-gold palm print materialized in the void.

The towering Demon-Subduing Tree suddenly shone brightly, and the soft light that had been scattering all rushed towards the golden palm.

The golden palm rapidly changed color: purple-gold, pure gold, light gold, light yellow, and white.

It went from being the size of a palm to the size of two palms, and then to the size of three palms.

When it flew from in front of him to a height of three meters above his head, it had already expanded four times.

A giant, crystal-clear hand met the force that pierced down from the void.

"Boom..."

A loud bang came from overhead, like a thunderclap.

Everyone immediately felt dizzy and could barely stand.

My blood and qi surged and boiled throughout my body, and my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

With a muffled thud, the giant hand shattered into crystal-clear fragments, scattering in all directions.

Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, and the hand seals on his palms changed, like two flowers blooming.

The towering Demon-Subduing Tree swayed gently, as if it were swaying in sync with the changes in the palms, almost at the same frequency.

The soft starlight fell even faster, piercing into the fragments of the giant hand.

The scattered fragments re-coalesced towards the center, once again forming a giant hand.

The giant hand was crystal clear, like an ice sculpture, and had a more textured feel than before.

It struck the sky again.

"boom!"

The muffled sound was like thunder.

Blood began to flow from the corners of everyone's mouths.

Chu Zhiyuan's golden sword suddenly shot into the air, making a light, graceful slash.

"laugh!"

Like a piece of silk being torn apart.

Suddenly a strong wind arose, and the surrounding white curtains were instantly blown into the sky.

Those holding the white curtains were all experts, but they were all shaken and their blood surged. Caught off guard by the sudden gust of wind, they all dropped their grips.

The white tent was swept into the sky, and everyone's clothes fluttered in the wind, as if they might be blown away at any moment.

They used their internal energy to stabilize themselves and looked up at the sky.

Above the void, the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree was shaking violently, as if it too was enduring a gale.

As it shook violently, the soft white light transformed into golden light.

The golden light formed a golden shield, enveloping the mountaintop and encompassing everyone within it.

A strange feeling arose in everyone's hearts: peace and joy.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up and stared into the void, where a giant could be vaguely seen floating in the air.

A ten-meter-tall figure with three faces shrouded in golden light, making them impossible to see clearly.

But the enormous body exudes a sense of holiness and sublimity, making one want to kneel down.

Chu Zhiyuan formed a hand seal.

This time, the branches of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree stretched towards this enormous body.

Then they would wrap it up.

The giant clapped his hands together, transforming them into golden palm prints, just like the Great Demon-Subduing Palm that Chu Zhiyuan had previously unleashed, which floated towards the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Demon-Subduing God Tree swung its branches, scattering a golden light to meet the giant palm.

"boom!"

Another explosion echoed through the void.

The Demon-Subduing Divine Tree shook violently as if blown by a gale, its golden light shimmering all around.

The tree branch suddenly extended, instantly touching the giant shadow in the void.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions echoed through the void, like a string of thunderclaps.

The tree of light shattered one by one, only to coalesce again and entangle the giant shadow once more.

People looked up and finally saw the giant shadow.

The enormous figure was like a god descending to earth, and they found themselves unable to move.

Not only could he not move his body, but his mind also became incredibly slow and unable to function.

If this giant shadow were to fall and attack, he would almost certainly be helpless and doomed.

This feeling angered them, and despite their desperate efforts, they could not escape this state.

Rage is futile and futile.

Chu Zhiyuan's palms kept forming hand seals, creating one Great Demon-Subduing Seal after another.

The golden sword that had been hovering to the side suddenly flew up and shot towards the giant shadow in the void.

The branches of the tree of light gradually stopped crumbling and began to entangle the enormous phantom. The golden sword finally arrived, shooting straight at its brow.

Three faces, first stroked towards the center of the smiling face's brow, then stroked towards the other two brows.

The golden sword seemed to be held in an invisible, powerful hand, moving nimbly and swiftly.

"Om..."

A ripple appeared in the void, like water rippling.

The next moment, cracks appeared in the giant shadow in the void, and it broke into pieces of golden light and gradually disappeared into the void.

The Demon-Subduing Tree returned to its calm state, its outstretched branches slowly drooping down, once again casting soft starlight.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Huang Zhengyang stared blankly at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes were burning brightly, impossible to look directly at, as if a god had descended to earth.

He formed a hand seal with both hands again, and his astonishing aura quickly subsided.

In the blink of an eye, he regained his gentle and peaceful demeanor, and the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree above his head slowly dissipated.

"This is...?" Huang Zhengyang asked in surprise, "What kind of secret technique is this?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's a secret technique passed down from the Guanghan Palace."

"Incredibly powerful!" Huang Zhengyang exclaimed. "Was that the Undying Evil Lord just now?"

"It's just an incarnation of its power," Chu Zhiyuan said. "If it can't destroy the Undying Evil Lord's true form, it will probably send down a statue as well."

"It might also sever the connection between the Undying Evil Lord and this world!" Huang Zhengyang said solemnly, "If that's really the case, then we'll have hope of destroying the Undying Evil Lord!"

Their goal was not to kill the Undying Evil Lord, but to prevent the Undying Evil Lord's power from entering this world.

The Undying Evil Lord is not in this realm, making it almost impossible to kill him completely.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's see how it goes."

Huang Zhengyang exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly an eye-opener! I never imagined there were such secret techniques. Brother Chu, you actually managed to master them!"

This secret technique has transcended the realm of martial arts; it is truly mystical.

He couldn't imagine how one could master such a secret technique with such power.

When that enormous figure appeared in the void, I felt as if I were imprisoned, unable to move at all.

His own cultivation level was like that of a child compared to this Undying Evil Lord.

Thus, they came to know the power of this secret technique.

His gaze fell on the golden sword.

The golden sword slowly floated to Chu Zhiyuan's side and gently inserted into its sheath.

“This sword…” Huang Zhengyang examined the golden sword.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "This sword has become quite spiritual after I have refined it countless times."

"What a fine sword!" Huang Zhengyang exclaimed. "I hope your secret technique can stop the statue from falling any further."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The more statues there are, the more gold dust there will be, and the stronger the golden sword will become.

However, the more statues there are, the more trouble they will cause, and more innocent people may die.

But ultimately it's not my decision, so I'll just let things take their course.

Just then, a figure drifted over from afar, approached Huang Zhengyang, and whispered in his ear.

Huang Zhengyang's expression was grave. He waved his hand, and the young man withdrew.

Huang Zhengyang looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Brother Chu, there is one more statue that has fallen."

"Let's go." Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly.

……

At dawn, the bright sunlight bathed the bustling imperial city.

In the Tianjian Villa, Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the couch and slowly opened his eyes.

The golden sword on his lap began to thicken and darken, becoming even more intense than the purplish-gold color, and approaching black.

Yesterday, the destruction of six statues in one go caused a qualitative change in the Golden Sword.

He gently stroked the blade, as if touching his own arm.

Its integration with the golden sword has reached an even deeper level.

Especially after mastering the secret techniques of the Moon Palace, he became even more intimately connected with this sword.

As he merged with the Golden Sword and mastered the secret techniques of the Guanghan Palace, he felt he was getting closer and closer to becoming a Nine-Turn Venerable.

He got up and went into the courtyard, where the aroma of various dishes wafted into his nostrils.

He looked up at the void.

The phantom of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree still stood in the air, swaying gently.

He wondered if he could actually move the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree from inside the Demon-Subduing Palace to the top of his head.

We are currently pursuing this idea. If we can bring the true form of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree down, its power will far surpass its current strength.

Why can the Undying Evil Lord come and go as he pleases? Why can't we project our power into the world where the Undying Evil Lord resides and kill him?

If you keep taking hits, wouldn't all your hard work in martial arts training be for nothing?
