I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Fire maker!
Xie Yuan looked at the beautiful and charming girl standing in front of him and his pupils shrank.

too close……

Xie Yuan wanted to retreat, but he knew immediately that he had no chance.

The fire bearer was already face to face with him, and he could smell the woman's orchid-like breath and a faint fragrance from her body, like a blooming nightshade.

This distance, even if they are in the same realm, almost determines victory or defeat.

However, more importantly, Xie Yuan could feel her blood from her sword skills and footwork, as well as the subtle sense of oppression coming from her body.

The third level of peak transformation.

She was not affected.

Xie Yuan's face was solemn. His own cultivation was far behind that of the Fire Master, not to mention that he was only at the first level of transformation, while the other party was at his peak.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this gap as a world of difference.

Xie Yuan stared at the pair of smiling peach blossom eyes in front of him. The purple eyeshadow brought infinite charm, as well as real coldness in the eyes.

"Did the Emperor ask you to kill me?"

Xie Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The fire-bearer smiled:
"Don't overestimate yourself, you're just one of them."

One of them... Is it true that the emperor wants to kill everyone here?
Xie Yuan frowned:

"why?"

"Why? Guess."

The fire-bearing servant straightened up and moved his face slightly away from Xie Yuan.

She put her hands behind her back and smiled:

"Isn't it obvious in the written test?"

"He's going to deal with the noble families? Now?"

Xie Yuan was a little bit unbelievable, and still puzzled:
"What's the point of killing a few of us juniors?"

"It doesn't mean much. You are just a little extra. It's just a convenience."

The fire bearer laughed as he spoke cruel words.

Xie Yuan remained silent, feeling somewhat uneasy, as he felt that something even bigger might be happening outside.

He asked again:

"What does that have to do with these other independent cultivators? Are you going to kill them too?"

The girl put her hands behind her back and slowly began to walk around Xie Yuan:
"The knights violated the law with force. Killing a few is killing anyway. The emperor thought it would be better to kill them all."

"Is he crazy?"

Xie Yuan frowned. The geniuses here represented almost half of the top martial arts forces in the world. Even if the other half did not come, how would they feel when they saw the court's actions?

The girl sighed:

"He's not crazy, he's dying, and this is his last fight. Otherwise, why would he come to us?"

When the emperor is looking for a professional rebel, it is definitely not the time for a life-and-death fight. He cannot tolerate such a thing.

"What on earth is he going to do?"

Xie Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The fire bearer smiled:

"What I know is very limited. But his most important goal is naturally to weaken the power of your great family, especially the power at the top."

"You mean, the emperor wants to deal with several family heads?"

Xie Yuan frowned.

The fire bearer smiled and nodded.

She looked at Xie Yuan and smiled again:

"But then again, the other people here might just be extras. If it's you, he might really want to kill them."

"why?"

Xie Yuan frowned.

The charming girl giggled:
"Because you look like you want to die too. Not many people in my Holy Church would say such things in front of the emperor! I think you are the talent our Holy Church needs. Have you ever considered joining us?"

Xie Yuan nodded:

"Okay, I'll join in, can we reconcile?"

"forget it."

The girl's purple eyeshadow curved:
"I'm here to kill you today. I'll talk about recruiting you later while facing your corpse."

"Then I will definitely not disagree then."

Xie Yuan sighed.

The fire bearer was startled, then he covered his mouth and laughed like a silver bell:
"You're quite entertaining, what a pity. By the way, aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid."

Xie Yuan shook his head and said:
"I've died... three times."

"Oh, I won't be afraid if it happens three times. Do you know how many times I've died?"

The fire maker smiled.

"how many times?"

Xie Yuan asked.

"Twenty-three."

The girl tapped her cheek with her slender fingers:

“Since I was chosen to join the Holy Church at a young age, I have experienced 23 situations where I thought I would die, and finally reached my current position.

"After the tenth time, I didn't feel anything."

Xie Yuan looked at her and sighed that the Demon Cult was just the Demon Cult. Even a genius with such talent had to go through such trials - perhaps she would not be so powerful if she had not gone through it.

"I am really dead...that's all."

Xie Yuan shook his head and said to himself:
"Let me think of anything else to ask."

"You really treat me as a teacher who can answer your questions and solve your doubts."

The man who raised the fire covered his mouth and laughed softly.

Xie Yuan looked at her:
"You don't look like you won't say anything anyway."

She answered the questions very readily, perhaps because she saw no need to lie to the death.

The girl smiled and sighed:
"Because you made me happy today. What you said in the literary exam touched my heart. I realized that I had been overthinking. Aristocratic families, sects, and dynasties are all the same thing. They should all be overthrown and killed."

Xie Yuan reminded:
"It's the same with your religion."

"That can't be the same."

The fire bearer shook his head repeatedly:
"We are different."

Double standards are really justified...

Xie Yuan sighed and was about to change the subject when he saw the fire bearer smiling:

"Okay, that's enough. Even if I let you run forty feet first, can you escape?

"But even if you are already mine, I don't like you to run too far. It's better for you to stay by my side."

Her white and tender hand suddenly pierced through Xie Yuan's heart. The touch that seemed real and illusory and the splashing blood were so real.

But Xie Yuan in front of him quickly turned into a distorted shadow and disappeared.

The fire bearer looked at Xie Yuan's figure that reappeared in the distance, smiled, and in a flash, he appeared behind Xie Yuan and reached out to grab him.

However, just as she grabbed Xie Yuan, her expression changed slightly, her figure paused, and she snorted softly.

Everything in front of him suddenly fell to the ground like shattered mirror.

The girl appeared in the middle of the open space, with nothing in front of her. In the distance, there was the dim figure of Xie Yuan, who was about to enter the woods on the hillside.

She twisted her mouth, somewhat dissatisfied.

The girl suddenly stopped, creating a big hole on the spot. She appeared in front of the figure as if she had teleported, and chopped him down with her sword:
"Die, you treacherous fellow!"

Her purple sword was about to hit Xie Yuan's head, but suddenly she paused, then she became completely furious and split Xie Yuan in half with one sword.

With a puff sound, like a bubble bursting, Xie Yuan in front of him split into two halves, and then each turned into a distorted shadow and dissipated.

The fire bearer gritted his teeth, his chest heaving, and took two deep breaths. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether he was in an illusion or the real world.

She took a deep breath, looked around, and found that Xie Yuan was completely gone.

"Good, what a great chain of illusions!"

The fire-bearing master gritted his teeth and two sickly blushes appeared on his face, obviously he was very angry.

She had never expected that the gap in strength was so big that Xie Yuan could still escape!
The Fire-Bearing Envoy saw through Xie Yuan's delay and the illusion when he was standing there asking questions at a glance.

However, with the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, she did not expose him and just kept chatting with him.

She didn't stop playing the game until she felt Xie Yuan had walked almost far away, and then she caught up with him in just one step.

However, during this journey, she fell into the second level of illusion set up by Xie Yuan.

This time, the Heavenly Illusion was not an environmental illusion that left a shadow on the spot, but was directly targeted at the Fire-Bearing Envoy herself - if it was targeted at her from the beginning, it would definitely not succeed, but there was a possibility of success during her pursuit.

Sure enough, after the girl caught up with Xie Yuan, she immediately discovered that she had entered an illusion. Although it was only for a moment, it did stop her.

Afterwards, she broke the illusion and saw a faint and dim shadow that was different from the previous one. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she didn't let him get away and caught up with him again.

As a result, the girl discovered that this was actually just an illusion, which was deliberately concealed so that she did not notice it at first.

After performing three carefully designed and linked magic spells, she looked around and could not find any trace of Xie Yuan.

The fire-bearing lady was so angry that she felt dizzy and felt that this was a great humiliation for her.

If her competitors knew that she had let a first-level transformed guy escape from her hands, then she would not have to choose the position of Saint.

The girl bit her red lips tightly, took a deep breath, and then suddenly took out something.

This thing is like a miniature bonsai, only the size of a palm, and can be held in the slender palm of a young girl.

Looking closely, it is not a likeness, but a smaller version of the kingdom in his hands.

At this time, the real mountain and river in the hand of the Fire Master was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was almost impossible to see what was happening inside.

But when she exerted force with her hands and focused her eyes for a moment, her vision penetrated the clouds and she saw the mountains and rivers, deer and birds, as well as the figures running around, and the tiny glimmers of light above them.

One of the shadows was not far away from him, and there was no trace of its movement, but it was fluorescent, like a torch in the dark, and extremely conspicuous.

The fire-bearing envoy laughed coldly:
"Run, let's see where you can run to here."

She put away the kingdom in her hand, moved her body, and disappeared from the spot.

Xie Yuan was running wildly on the other side of the forest, using his Heavenly Hidden Technique to its full potential, like an invisible shadow.

He successively deployed the Heavenly Illusion Technique that was enough to mislead the Fire Bringer, and finally combined it with the Heavenly Concealment Technique, and then used all his hidden tricks, and finally temporarily escaped from the clutches of this terrifying witch.

However, using this secret technique made Xie Yuan feel a little dizzy.

But he did not dare to slack off for a moment, and used all his strength to activate the Sky Hidden Technique to avoid being tracked by the Fire Envoy.

"There should be some benefits to always keeping the Sky Hidden Technique hidden. She doesn't seem to be prepared for this move from me."

Xie Yuan nodded secretly.

But the question is, even though he escaped from the clutches of the witch, where can he go?
Trapped in this world, only one tenth of your cultivation remains. If you don't think of a solution, you will be caught sooner or later.

Xie Yuan was thinking, when suddenly his mind moved and the feeling of being spied on came back.

Fire maker!
Xie Yuan now knows that the one who spied on him before was this powerful witch.

However, he had already used up all his Heavenly Hidden Techniques to escape such a long distance that even a master should not be able to lock onto him. How could he be found by her again?

Secret method? Or... magic weapon?
Considering that the fire-raising envoy's strength had not been damaged at all, Xie Yuan's face sank.

Since she was sent in by the emperor, she might have a backup plan, most likely a compass or map that can clearly show everyone's location.

Xie Yuan now felt powerless. He couldn't compete with her in terms of skills, equipment, or magic weapons. How could he break the impasse?

He was running wildly with his head down, when suddenly he was startled and lunged to the side.

A purple sword suddenly appeared in front of his original path. If he didn't dodge, he would have crashed into it.

The fire-bearing girl revealed her slender and charming figure. Her peach blossom eyes, surrounded by purple eyeshadow, were no longer full of affection, but burning with cold flames:
"Run, why don't you run?"

Xie Yuan looked at the fire maker in front of him and kept silent.

He remained silent and slowly reached out to take off the hairpin on his head.

Under the somewhat strange gaze of the fire-bearing master, the small sword first turned into a long sword, then into a spear, and after a long pause, it finally became shorter, wider, and thicker, transforming into a mighty Xuanhua axe.

Xie Yuan weighed the axe in his hand, took a breath, and said in a deep voice:

"bring it on."

The fire bearer looked at him holding the axe with both hands, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but only a little.

The charming girl smiled and said:

"You're not still thinking about a comeback, are you?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:

"It's not my style to sit back and wait for death."

The girl smiled:
"Good man, I'll give you a quick death then."

She held the sword and approached Xie Yuan step by step.

Xie Yuan looked at the girl with purple eyeshadow who was getting closer and closer, as if he was looking at death which was getting closer and closer.

He took a deep, deep breath, as if he wanted to take in all the last breath of his life.

This breath stimulated the Dantian, causing the blood and internal energy in the whole body to tremble and resonate. The trickle of restricted output began to slowly form waves like a mountain stream after rain, layer by layer, and seemed to be becoming turbulent and rapid.

Xie Yuan felt his entire body trembling, and the roaring energy was even about to break through the limits of heaven and earth and pour into the axe in his hand.

His eyes widened in anger, staring at the approaching death, and a roar resounded through the mountains:
"bring it on!!!"

A dim light condensed on the axe blade. Xie Yuan swung his hands suddenly and delivered a blow that transcended the rules of heaven and earth. The output of his blood, energy and internal energy was close to its peak.

The air was directly split open, forming a vacuum zone. Strong winds blew in all directions, and the dark axe blade rushed straight towards the girl.

Ding--

The purple light flashed for a moment and then dispelled the darkness.

Ju Huoshi swung his sword and easily knocked Xie Yuan's axe away, then put it on his neck.

The girl smiled:

"Nice axe skills."

The Xuanhua Axe spun high into the sky, then fell down weakly.

With a hiss, the axe blade pierced into the soil, blocking the two figures connected by the sword.

Teng——

Seeing the hooded figure approaching quickly, Cui Cheng and Xie Yi both jumped up, each as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When the two entered the palace, they symbolically handed over their weapons, but they were naturally well prepared.

Cui Cheng raised his hand as if he was drawing a sword, and suddenly energy surged in his empty hand.

In a moment, purple light began to extend downward from the palm of his hand little by little, and actually condensed into a purple sword!
Xie Yi grabbed in the air, a slight whistling sound came from afar, and then approached at a high speed, with a gradually deafening whistle that pierced the air. A silver spear wrapped in mysterious light fell from the sky and landed in his hand.

The two family heads each held a powerful weapon in their hands, but their faces were still solemn as they looked at the figure walking towards them.

"You are not dead yet." Cui Cheng said slowly:
"Situ Wan."

Xie Yi looked at the figure hidden under the hood, with a fire burning in his eyes that had been suppressed for many years.

He held the spear tightly in both hands, the figure reflected in his eyes, and watched her slowly take off her hood.

Her shoulder-length black hair fell down by her ears as if it had weight. Her face was pale and quiet, as if she had not seen the sun for many years.

The woman's face was very strange. At first glance, she seemed to be a gentle young woman, about thirty years old; but upon closer inspection, she looked like a young woman in her twenties, revealing innocence. But if you look into her eyes, you will feel that those eyes are like those of an old woman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, as lifeless as a pile of burnt ruins, but under the ruins there are faint sparks that have not been extinguished, as if they can burn everything in front of them.

Even though her age is confusing, her facial features are perfect, and there is no flaw on her fair face. Even if someone has some imagination of a stunning beauty, when they see her, they will only sigh that their imagination is not enough. The word "peerless beauty" seems to be made for her.

But after seeing the true appearance of such a peerless beauty, the expressions of the two family heads only became more solemn.

It was indeed her. The Saint of the Kitchen Goddess, the Princess of Pingxi, the most feared demon by the noble families in the past thirty years, Situ Wan.

Situ Wan raised her head slightly, looked at Cui Cheng standing in the pavilion, and said calmly:
"Cui Cheng, you've grown old."

Cui Cheng laughed:
"Who can stay young? But the blood is still hot and the sword is still sharp."

The lightsaber in his hand shook, and the sharp sword energy wrapped around him, making him look like a sword immortal banished to earth.

Situ Wan remained unmoved. She glanced at Xie Yi and said nothing.

Xie Yi's realm back then was far below the top level. Compared with them, he was not at the same realm and was not even worthy of being noticed.

However, Xie Yi is now the number one person below the Grand Master, and his prestige is almost as good as those Grand Masters. But after all, there is still a gap between their realms, which is so close yet so different from the gap between heaven and earth.

Xie Yi looked at the peerless woman in front of him and thought of Xie Xuan who was covered in blood and died without a sound. That was a battle that changed the entire Xie family. The fate of Xie Lun, Xie Yuan, and countless other children of the Xie family was rewritten from that moment on.

He held the spear with a stern look in his eyes, but did not take the initiative to attack.

After so many years, has Situ Wan recovered from her injuries or even made further progress? Or has she reached some other level?

Situ Wan walked slowly to the foot of the pavilion, ignoring the two top masters who were standing next to her as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This distance was already very disturbing, but Xie Yi and Cui Cheng were fully focused and didn't say much.

At this level, from the moment Situ Wan emerged from the room and appeared in their sight, it made no difference whether she was standing over there or over here.

Situ Wan looked at the seated emperor and asked calmly:
"You called me here just to kill them both?"

The old emperor smiled, looked at Situ Wan's pale face, and said:

"It would be even better if you could kill all eight families."

Situ Wan nodded slightly when she heard this:
"it is good."

She moved and suddenly disappeared from where she was.

Cui Cheng and Xie Yi's eyes tightened, and their momentum instantly reached its peak, but at the same time they revealed a look of surprise.

The two old eunuchs behind the emperor, who were tall, short, fat and thin, and had exactly the same facial features, suddenly took a step forward at the same time, and swung the whisks and golden swords in their hands forwards with unparalleled power, one on the left and one on the right!

A thunderclap sounded, and the two old eunuchs suddenly flew backwards together. A thick blood mist came out of their bodies while they were still in the air. They broke into pieces, and the cross-sections were extremely smooth, as if they were cut by guitar strings.

Situ Wan appeared in front of the emperor, picked him up with her hand wrapped in cloth, and a strange smile appeared on her beautiful face, which seemed a little ferocious.

"You don't seem to have thought about who I want to kill the most after entering the palace?"

The old emperor was grabbed by the chest in mid-air, his throat making hoarse sounds and he was unable to utter a word.

His pot-bellied body seemed as light as a feather in that slender hand. He looked like an old dog being picked up. His hands and feet moved weakly for a few times. His face, which was already bloodless to begin with, was now paler than Situ Wan's.

But his expression was calm, and he even showed a hint of a smile, and made a subtle sound:
"Do whatever you want. I'm sorry for your family..."

Situ Wan's face instantly revealed an extremely hateful and ferocious expression, and her eyes were a little red:
"Go to hell!"

With a loud bang, a big hole suddenly appeared on the emperor's chest. The place where Situ Wan pinched him was pierced directly from front to back, and his flesh, blood and bones were directly evaporated under the bombardment of the unparalleled energy.

The emperor fell to the ground with a bang. Situ Wan had already withdrawn her hand, clenched her fists, and her eyes were red:

"You are still pretending! What I hate most is your hypocritical appearance! He believed your hypocritical face back then, otherwise, otherwise... humph!"

She suddenly groaned, staggered, turned around quickly, waved her hands, and burst out with mysterious energy, blocking Cui Cheng's second sword.

Cui Cheng was both happy and worried when he saw that the surprise attack was successful.

Of course, he was happy that he had injured Situ Wan, and now he had the upper hand; but he was worried that this blow did not cause any serious damage to her. Situ Wan's realm was almost at its peak, and she was definitely not on the verge of death.

Situ Wan covered her waist, her facial features distorted, and gritted her teeth and said:
"Old man..."

As soon as she raised her foot, Cui Chengzheng was facing a powerful enemy, but saw that foot stepped directly down.

With a loud bang, the pavilion collapsed, and a big hole was trampled out in the center of the pavilion. Situ Wan stepped the emperor's body directly into the ground and mixed it with the mud, and it no longer had any shape.

In the smoke and dust, a pair of slightly red eyes stared at Cui Cheng through the smoke:

"Now I'll take care of you."

The red eyes approached suddenly like a ghost in the smoke and appeared in front of Cui Cheng.

laugh!
The purple sword in Cui Cheng's hand was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shooting out directly and piercing through the figure in front of him.

However, the figure suddenly disappeared, as if it was just part of the smoke and dust, and then, when Cui Zhi's gaze narrowed and his attention was focused elsewhere, it suddenly condensed and reappeared in front of him, and issued a palm print.

Cui Cheng had no time to draw his sword, so he slapped out with his other hand, meeting Situ Wan head-on with his palm.

A heart-pounding wave emanated from the center of the palms, and invisible shock waves spread outward. The old emperor's favorite small imperial garden rolled with waves of soil, and the entire ground sank several feet. The exotic flowers and plants, spiritual birds and beasts, ponds and waterside pavilions, and house walls were all turned to dust, and the emperor's body was now completely integrated with the burial place he had chosen.

The small imperial garden became ruins in the blink of an eye, but the shock wave stagnated when it reached the wall, and a figure in a black python robe suddenly appeared above the wall.

He had black hair and black eyes, like a young man, but he was wearing a noble prince's robe, and his eyes looked even more vicissitudes and profound.

But what is even more eye-catching is the long sword in his hand that seems to be made of gold. Just looking at it exudes a heavy pressure and the demeanor of a king who commands the world, making people want to surrender.

The Dali Emperor Sword, the Human Emperor Sword of this world, has more dynasty luck than the one in the hands of the Yao family. It can be said to be a top-notch artifact.

Xue Zongtao, the King of Chu, is the strongest person in the royal family at present. He is a generation older than the emperor. Although he is old, he looks very young due to his cultivation and the blessing of natural treasures.

At this time, he was holding the Emperor's Sword, with an extremely powerful aura, and rushed straight towards Cui Cheng and Xie Yi.

After Cui Cheng and Situ Wan exchanged palm strikes, it was Situ Wan who retreated several steps, while Cui Cheng only staggered for a moment before standing firm.

Situ Wan's skills were never as good as those of the experienced Cui Cheng. She had been injured for many years and her level was slightly lower than before. Cui Cheng, however, had been accumulating skills steadily and the gap was even greater.

But at that time, Situ Wanlun's realm was not better than the three great masters of the upper three surnames, and the terrifying record she achieved was not based on her skills.

She suffered a loss in the palm strike, but she looked unconcerned. She stared at Cui Cheng with hatred and moved forward again.

Cui Cheng frowned, and a long purple sword made of heavenly thunder flew around his body. He and Situ Wan, whose figure could not be seen clearly, exchanged a hundred moves in a breath. The intensive sounds of the clashes merged into one sound, piercing through gold and splitting rocks, reaching up to the sky, even beyond the hearing of human ears.

The ordinary palace servants within a hundred feet of the surrounding area were unaware of anything, but the guards of the Forbidden Palace who had powerful skills rolled their eyes at the same time after hearing the sound, and died with blood gushing out of all their orifices.

On the other side, Xie Yi had retreated to the side. With his level of cultivation, he was unable to directly intervene in the fight between Cui Cheng and Situ Wan, but if there was a chance, he could still provide some assistance.

But at this time another person came, the King of Chu, holding the Human Emperor Sword and killing him. Xie Yi turned his spear and went to meet him.

The King of Chu, with the Human Emperor Sword, could definitely threaten Cui Cheng. If he and Situ Wan worked together to take Cui Cheng down, then the situation today would be in danger.

Xie Yi held the silver spear in one hand, pointed it at the ground diagonally, took one step, two steps, three steps, and then stabbed hard.

In an instant, the sky was filled with gun shadows that enveloped the attacking King Chu, making him seem like a lone boat in the ocean of torrential rain.

Peace on earth!

It was also a peaceful time in the world. Xie Yuan's spear shadows were only dozens or nearly a hundred, covering the area in front of him. The power alone was already extremely great;

However, Xie Yi's world was peaceful, and the shadows of guns seemed to really cover the world. For a while, the battlefield between the two was nothing but the sharp shadows of guns everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

In between this rain of gunfire.

A dazzling golden light suddenly split the rain curtain, cut through the sky and earth, revealing the brilliant light behind the clouds and the expressionless face of the King of Chu.

He held the Emperor's Sword, which shone with golden light like the sun on earth. With one sword, he split the world in half and destroyed peace. Only the majestic emperor stood proudly in the world.

This was already a grandmaster-level attack, and Xie Yi immediately fell into a disadvantage.

The King of Chu slashed with his sword repeatedly, and the silver spear shadow was trapped and unable to move forward under the suppression of the golden electric light in the sky, and was in danger.

However, after dozens of moves, the mighty and magnificent golden sword light still covered the sky, and the silver gun shadow seemed to be shaky, but in fact it was still impenetrable.

The King of Chu's expression became solemn. He didn't expect that even with the Human Emperor Sword, he couldn't quickly get rid of Xie Yi.

With the blessing of the Human Emperor Sword, although he had not yet reached that realm and could not control the world, he already had the initial power of a grandmaster. When he slashed with the sword, ordinary masters would die if they were hit by it, with no chance of survival.

But Xie Yi is naturally not an ordinary grandmaster, he is the number one grandmaster.

The King of Chu had always kept a low profile in the deep palace, and would not compete for a place on the list or show his face, nor would he rank anyone from the royal family on the third list. But he thought that those people out there who were seeking fame and reputation were worlds apart from him, and even the top ones like Xie Yi were at most about the same level as him.

However, when he compared them now, he realized that there was a huge difference in their strength.

Even though he was holding the Human Emperor Sword and suppressing Xie Yi who was only holding the Xuan Weapon, the King of Chu only had the advantage and no chance of winning for a while.

In the midst of the golden electric light, the silver spear light kept flashing, creating a pure land that he could never invade. He even had a faint feeling that this pure land was constantly growing, waiting for the right moment to blow the horn of counterattack.

If it weren't for the Human Emperor Sword, the King of Chu would have been defeated in a moment!

Why can’t such a huge advantage be turned into a winning advantage?
An unknown rage rose in the heart of the King of Chu. His sword moves suddenly became faster and his power looked even more overbearing. The silver spear light could hardly be found in the sky anymore.

However, increasingly vigorous sword moves meant more and more loopholes. Xie Yi caught the opportunity in an instant when the impatient King Chu attacked, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The spear suddenly thrust out, like a silver dragon that had been dormant for a long time, rising from the abyss and flying up to the sky!

A layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the King of Chu's body, blocking the silver-white spear light outside. However, the light shield also caused violent ripples, which made him tremble.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor Sword can still protect its master, otherwise the situation would be reversed.

The King of Chu did not dare to be careless, and immediately slowed down his pace, continuing to fight against Xie Yi steadily. However, if he continued like this, he would not be able to win even with the Human Emperor Sword. The advantage was not on his side, and the balance of victory would only tilt towards Xie Yi little by little over time.

The King of Chu's eyes were solemn, and he felt that this could not be delayed any longer.

He glanced at the battlefield on the other side and found that the fight between the two grandmasters was even more intense. It was difficult for him to follow the fight. It was as if there were just two blurry shadows spinning rapidly, emitting bursts of earth-shaking noises.

We have to change our target.

The King of Chu made a decision, chopped Xie Yi's spear with a sword, and suddenly dodged to the other side.

Seeing this, Xie Yi naturally would not miss this opportunity, and his spear caught up with the back of King Chu like lightning; however, a light flashed on the King of Chu's body, and the Human Emperor Sword automatically helped him block the attack. Not only was he unharmed, but he also accelerated again and approached the two grandmasters.

Cui Cheng felt the might of the real dragon coming towards him quickly, his face became serious, and he was ready to take on both of them first.

A half-crazy and half-injured grandmaster, a fake grandmaster who relied on magic weapons, he could deal with it with his cultivation advantage, but he no longer had any advantage. Facing Situ Wan, who was ruthless and crazy, Cui Cheng might have to be more careful.

At this moment, a cold shout was heard:

"roll!"

Situ Wan turned around, and a huge force suddenly blasted towards the King of Chu.

The King of Chu was horrified. He never thought that Situ Wan would attack him. He had no choice but to raise the Human Emperor Sword in a hurry, and his body was once again covered with golden light.

However, this time his golden light flickered continuously, and he was shaky, and he flew back faster than he approached, his face turning red and white:
"Situ Wan! Are you crazy?"

"Come over here again, and you'll die too!"

Situ Wan's black hair kept flying, and she started fighting with Cui Cheng again.

The two fought in perfect harmony, and the aftermath of their Qi only crisscrossed the small imperial garden, plowing it over and over again, but not damaging anything outside. If the Grand Master really wanted to fight, it would be hard to say whether this imperial city could be saved even if it was protected by a formation.

It was not surprising that Cui Cheng did not want to hurt innocent people, but it was a bit surprising that Situ Wan also had this tacit understanding.

His expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and his mind turned instantly:
"Can we use this as an opportunity to defeat this powerful enemy?"

On the other side, Xie Yi took down the King of Chu, and the two were in a stalemate. The King of Chu held the magic weapon but due to his own limitations, he could not exert its power; Xie Yi was much stronger than him, but with the blessing of the Emperor's Sword, he was helpless for a while.

On the Grand Master's side, Cui Cheng was somewhat cautious in the face of Situ Wan's crazy and fierce attack, who seemed to disregard herself, and he defended and waited for the attack, which was also flawless.

He had split Situ Wan in half with his purple electric sword for who knows how many times. Just as he was about to switch sword styles to deal with her fierce attack, he suddenly saw her take a few steps back.

Cui Cheng was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he was about to catch up, but suddenly stopped.

Situ Wan was seen raising her hands and pressing them in the air, making a gesture of playing a zither, as if there was an invisible zither in front of her.

The strips of cloth on her hands untied automatically, revealing a deep wound across the backs of her hands that was deep enough to see the bone. The flesh and blood kept squirming but could not recover.

This is the same wound from that year, and it has never healed over the years.

But she no longer cared about these things at this time, she just wanted to kill the leader of the family in front of her.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, just like the silence before the pianist came on stage.

Zheng——

A melodious piano sound rang out, like a jade stone falling into a clear spring on a high mountain, making the first sound.

clank--

The melodious piano music became a little higher, the mountains seemed to tremble, and the gravel seemed to move and sway.

clank clank clank clang –

The sound of the piano suddenly changed its tune. Situ Wan's hands went from gracefully pressing the strings to many changes, and then began to dance wildly as if out of tune. The invisible piano burst out with countless terrifying energy, like a mountain collapse and a rain of arrows, and rushed directly towards Cui Cheng.

The sound of the piano is not only a powerful rainstorm of air arrows, but it can also penetrate defenses and go straight to people's hearts, making people dazed and even die from heart palpitations.

Cui Cheng's face was serious. He held the purple lightning sword in one hand and it was spinning rapidly in his palm. The purple lightning covered the front of him tightly, like a purple light shield.

bang bang bang-

The sound arrow and the light shield collided with each other, making a deafening sound like a landslide. Cui Cheng's steps, which had been as still as a mountain, could not even hold on and he kept sliding back.

This scene is somewhat similar to that of the past.

His face was solemn, waiting for Situ Wan to have an outburst so that he would have a chance to counterattack.

However, the sound arrows seemed to never stop, stretching out endlessly. Even Xie Yi and the King of Chu, who were not in the direction of Situ Wan's main attack, avoided the aftermath and stopped attacking each other, just struggling in the heavy rain.

Situ Wan buried her head, her long hair flying in disarray, covering her entire face. Her hands were like phantoms, and the invisible arrows of air could kill thousands of troops, but she still did not stop.

Cui Cheng's face was serious, and he was even a little dazed by the powerful piano music.

He saw that Situ Wan could play this piece of music almost forever, until the end of time, until the sky collapsed and the earth split, or until one of them died. Either Cui Cheng could not bear it and died on the spot, or Situ Wan ran out of energy and died.

Just like back then...

Cui Cheng frowned.

At this time, if there is a gun that can break the formation and risk one's life, the situation can be broken.

Back then, Xie Xuan took on the responsibility and stepped forward, injuring Situ Wan with a blow that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, stopping her life-threatening magic song, but he himself also died.

If it weren't for Xie Xuan's decisiveness, it is possible that this evil woman would have killed three grand masters alone.

But now that Xie Xuan is no longer around, how can we break the impasse?

The divine sword was not at hand, so the lightsaber he condensed from energy was ultimately a little short of being invincible.

Cui Cheng frowned and subconsciously glanced at Xie Yi in the chaos.

If you want to break the formation, you need top-notch marksmanship.

Can Xie Yi's Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear accomplish this feat?

Xie Yi seemed to feel Cui Cheng's gaze, slowly raised his head and looked into his eyes.

In an instant, he seemed to understand why Xie Xuan, who was extremely talented and had invincible magical skills, and as the youngest grandmaster, was about to become the leader of the eight great families and the number one among the top three surnames, suddenly fell.

Was it actually the same situation back then?

That's really the eldest brother's character.

Xie Yi sighed, his elder brother acted like a hero, but left him with the mess.

If I present this hero again, who else can take over the stall?

The silver spear in Xie Yi's hand danced into a wind fire wheel, and the collision with the scattered piano sound and air arrows produced sparks all over the sky, which was extremely gorgeous.

A young figure flashed through his mind.

Isn't it a little too early?
The pressure was a bit too much for him.

and……

Xie Yi frowned, and even in this life-and-death crisis, he was still a little hesitant.

If they delay any longer, they may be in greater danger; and if Situ Wan appears again, she will target the heads of their upper three surnames. If they cannot find a way to resolve the issue, I am afraid that the eight great families will be in panic again.

Thinking of the chaos in the Xie family, the death of Xie Xuan, the separation of countless family members, the life experience of Xie Yuan, the tragedy of Xie Lun...

Xie Yi took a breath and his expression became calm.

He does have a way to break this situation. (End of this chapter)
