I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan suppressed his surging blood, looked up at the Right Dharma King and the Chuanwu Elder who were looking down at him, and said:
"What a good trick! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The Right Dharma King is quite scheming. He is indeed the most calculating person in the outer world."

He slowly smiled:
"However, if Ji Hong still held the divine axe, I might still be wary of him. But now he is dead."

Xie Yuan slowly ascended into the air, and looked at the Right Dharma King at eye level:
"And what can you do with this axe?"

The smile on the right Dharma King gradually faded, and his expression turned cold:

"How arrogant! I want to see if you have the capital to be so arrogant."

Before he finished speaking, he swung his axe and chopped down!
The dazzling axe blade instantly struck in front of Xie Yuan, but Xie Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. Compared with the axe blade just now, this axe blade was really a world of difference.

He dodged the axe with a flash of his body, and then waved his hand.

The Mountain and River Cauldron roared as it flew over the head of the Right Dharma King, and the heavy air suppressed him; the Eight Trigrams Lotus and the Fantasy Dream Crystal each hung high in the sky, emitting a black and white dreamy light that enveloped the battlefield, making Xie Yuan's figure gradually become blurred.

With the help of the True Shadow Candlestick, Xie Yuan's extremely strong spiritual consciousness was even one step further than the peak of the Grandmaster and closer to the limit, between the double bridges of heaven and earth and the unity of nature and man, almost reaching the state of enlightenment.

Such spiritual awareness, coupled with the perfect-level secret technique blessed by the Eight Trigrams Lotus and the Dream Crystal, cannot be cracked by anyone at the Grandmaster level.

If it were Ji Hong, with the power of the peerless magic weapon that he had refined like his own magic weapon, he could still break Xie Yuan's secret technique; but although the Right Dharma King had the magic axe, how could he unleash the power of the magic weapon without refining it?
Even the magic weapon has its own spirit. The magic axe has been worshipped by the Ji family for a thousand years. Now it is in the hands of the Right Dharma King who destroyed the Ji family and whose hands are stained with Ji Hong's blood. It continuously emits resistance force, forcing the Right Dharma King to use his power to hold it.

Xie Yuan sacrificed all the Black Books, then took a step back, his figure disappeared into the void, as if he disappeared out of thin air, and no one could notice it.

The Right Dharma King chopped the air with his axe, his face looked serious and his eyes were as fast as lightning, constantly scanning the surroundings, and his spiritual awareness was constantly covering the surrounding space of a hundred feet.

However, the sky was completely silent and he could not see any trace of Xie Yuan.

Suddenly, Xie Yuan emerged silently from above his head, and the dragon soul descended from the sky and penetrated into the sky.

The Right Dharma King noticed it instantly and raised his axe to resist; however, the axe seemed to have ideas of its own and actually dragged his right hand down.

His face turned pale and he had no choice but to stretch out his left hand, with a solid giant palm print to block Xie Yuan's spear.

Bang.

After the two of them exchanged moves, the Right Dharma King snorted lightly, suffering a small loss.

The problem was not serious, but Xie Yuan had disappeared, making all his counterattacks completely ineffective.

This is just the beginning.

Seeing this, Elder Chuanwu didn't care about his face anymore and wanted to come over to help.

But at this time, a series of white lightsabers came from the ground, ethereal and grand, majestic and sharp, just like the flying swords of immortals.

Elder Chuanwu's expression changed slightly, and he grappled with these lightsabers with a serious face.

Situ Qin played the piano non-stop, displaying the power of the Immortal Book to the fullest, and entangled Elder Chuanwu.

Now there was no one to interfere with Xie Yuan and the Right Dharma King, and it was completely one-on-one.

The two men each displayed their magical powers, and suddenly a brilliant light broke out in the sky, with gold and red mixed together, and blue and white crisscrossing like a piece of silk.

Although the battle was fierce, the situation was clear. The Right Dharma King had no way to deal with Xie Yuan's Heavenly Hidden Technique, and was repeatedly deceived by the Heavenly Illusion Technique, and had already suffered a lot.

He wanted to use the magic axe to show off his power, but he found that this magic weapon was not only disobedient, but also made things worse, weakening him like a second Mountain and River Cauldron.

Now the Right Dharma King was in a dilemma. He could not fully utilize the power of the magic axe, but he was reluctant to give it to others.

Unfortunately, Xie Yuan's spear made him unable to be careless, and the axe he was holding on to was ready to move, which made him feel uneasy.

Dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye. The Right Dharma King was slashed twice by Xie Yuan's spear again, suffering minor injuries. Even though he was very powerful and would not be seriously injured easily, he could not continue to endure this bloodletting tactic. Having been in battle for a long time, he quickly made a decision:
"If you keep holding this axe, you might end up dead here."

He made up his mind and threw the Ji family's magic axe towards his subordinates outside with a whoosh.

At the same time, Xie Yuan shot him from the side, but he snorted coldly:
"Just waiting for you!"

The Right Dharma King circled his palms, ignoring the shot and striking at Xie Yuan. It was indeed much faster than before!
After hitting Xie Yuan, his palm went empty.

Another illusion? The Right Dharma King raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"I knew it!"

He pointed his spear towards the direction of the divine axe and slammed his palm hard.

A layer of violent energy suddenly exploded around the divine axe, which turned out to be the palm power he had left in advance!

If Xie Yuan took the axe at this moment, he would definitely be hit by this palm.

However, contrary to the expectations of the Right King, Xie Yuan was not there. Instead, as he attacked in that direction, a sword was thrust out from behind him!
The Right Dharma King was suddenly startled and had no time to pull back his palm. His body tensed up and a burst of blood burst out, forcibly resisting the sharp sword behind him.

The sword and the shield came into contact, but had no effect.

The Dharma King had a slight doubt in his heart:
"If he used a gun for this move, I would be injured again. But his sword skills are much weaker than his gun skills, so why did he use a sword to attack?"

He hadn't figured it out at first, but the next moment he knew the answer.

Xie Yuan used his Qi to wield the Floating Light Sword, and his speed instantly reached the limit.

In a blink of an eye, he caught up with the thrown divine axe, took it in his hand, and slashed the subordinate who wanted to snatch it with a sword.

He held the axe with golden runes engraved on it and smiled:

"Your Majesty is truly generous! Thank you very much!"

A green aura rose from the face of the Right Dharma King, and he shouted:
"I'll see how you use it!"

He dodged towards Xie Yuan, but saw Xie Yuan swinging his axe directly, and couldn't help but sneer:
"This axe is so difficult to use!"

However, Xie Yuan's axe swung directly out of the dazzling golden light, which was much smoother than the time he used it.

The Right Dharma King was shocked and quickly stopped to avoid the axe.

Xie Yuan held the divine axe in his hand, and his spirits were lifted. He swung the axe with great force, temporarily suppressing the Right Dharma King and forcing him to slowly retreat!

The divine axe looks completely different in his hands and in the hands of the Right Dharma King.

He originally used the axe as his main tool, and after chopping 100,000 pieces of wood and learning the skill of splitting Huashan Mountain with force, he had reached the pinnacle of the axe way. Even though he was holding the divine axe at this moment, it was not difficult at all, not to mention that he had the assistance of Wanbing Zhuying.

The magic axe was spiritual, and it only remembered the Right Dharma King who killed Ji Hong. Xie Yuan used it to fight against the Right Dharma King and found that the axe was particularly obedient.

Obviously, Ji Xuan and other members of the Ji family are not familiar with the divine axe at all.

At this time, Xie Yuan felt that the power of his attack had increased dramatically when he used the magic axe. He was proficient in axe skills, but he had never used such a useful axe before!

This axe has never been sacrificed or refined. If it were really used for one's own benefit, I wonder how powerful it would be?

Xie Yuan did not speculate too much during the fierce battle, but just swung his axe again and again, forcing the Right King to retreat continuously.

The elders and masters of the Kitchen God Cult on the periphery were all stunned. They had never expected that the Right Dharma King, who was already a sure winner of the Holy Cult, would lose his divine axe in the blink of an eye and be defeated!

This Xie Yuan had actually made the left and right Dharma Kings lose face. One of them had been indirectly killed by him, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the other one would be defeated.

Elder Hehuan was also severely injured by him and had to avoid him, and Elder Chuanwu didn't seem to have a chance to resist.

Could it be that Xie Yuan really wanted to destroy the world's number one holy religion and the Heaven Beyond Heaven?

The followers wanted to stop it, but they were powerless as they saw Xie Yuan standing proudly in the air and chopping down the Right Dharma King, making him extremely embarrassed.

Xie Yuan had already knocked the Right Dharma King back ten miles, almost out of the main city, and he felt that the battle was almost over.

He looked at the unwilling Right Dharma King and said with a slight smile:

"Your Majesty, that's enough." "If you had been thinking of escaping just now, you might have had a chance."

As he spoke, he raised his axe.

The Right Dharma King looked at his movements and then he remembered something, his face suddenly changed.

He had the hegemony within his grasp, but it was destroyed by Xie Yuan, so he was naturally very unwilling. But it was this unwillingness that made him just want to rush towards Xie Yuan, and eventually hurt him.

When King You saw the huge axe blade, which was even bigger than before, his eyes finally cleared and he wanted to escape.

But it was too late.

Xie Yuan, holding the divine axe, felt unprecedentedly powerful.

At this moment, even the peak Grandmaster could not resist the force of splitting Huashan.

The dazzling axe blade, which was even larger than before, pressed down with unstoppable momentum. For King Youfa, it was like the sky falling.

boom!
The axe blade flashed past, splitting the Right Dharma King into two pieces, and then disappeared.

Xie Yuan felt the divine axe emit a burst of joy, and then began to bounce, as if it wanted to leave.

"Can you come as you like and leave as you like?"

He chuckled, grabbed it directly, and then summoned Ten Thousand Soldiers Candle Shadow to tie it up tightly.

With the candlelight of ten thousand soldiers, they will be slowly refined later, and even the divine weapon cannot escape from the palm of your hand.

On the other side, Elder Chuanwu was already standing far away, looking at Xie Yuan with a serious expression. Not only him, but all the other Grandmasters were like this.

Many people felt dry in their throats. Looking at Xie Yuan, who had just fought against the Left and Right Dharma Kings and killed the Right Dharma King without any injury, they simply could not muster the slightest desire to resist.

Xie Yuan stood alone in the air, confronting a group of Kitchen God masters. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.

Yun Xing and Situ Qin rushed over and stood beside him.

Yun Xing coughed lightly:
"Well, Patriarch Xie, what are you going to do now?"

Her tone was a little strange. To be honest, she didn't expect Xie Yuan to kill the Right Dharma King directly; not to mention her, even Situ Qin was a little surprised.

Xie Yuan displayed all his skills and seized the Ji family's magic axe. He was so powerful that it was really scary.

Xie Yuan looked at the Zao Cult people headed by Elder Chuanwu and said:

"Does anyone else have any objections to the selection of the Firebringer?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They thought Xie Yuan was going to say something, but he suddenly brought this up? Who would dare to object now?

Seeing Elder Chuanwu silently shook his head, Xie Yuan nodded and said:

"So be it. People's lives are hard, so you must not start a rebellion."

There are still many powerful people in the Kitchen God Cult, and their numbers are even larger. The ones here are only a part of them.

Although the strongest man has been killed, if Xie Yuan really wants to capture so many masters and so many followers in one fell swoop, he will probably have to pay some price, and it will be difficult to achieve complete success.

Rather than exterminating them all and provoking fierce resistance, it is better to give them a warning and let them restrain their subordinates. We can deal with them when they dare to cause trouble again.

"The mission of the Holy Church is..."

Elder Chuanwu spoke, and Xie Yuan instantly stared at him.

Feeling the pressure from the gaze, Elder Chuanwu fell silent for a moment.

Although his cultivation was higher than Xie Yuan's, he did not have the slightest confidence. Being watched by Xie Yuan was like being locked onto by someone of a higher realm, which made him feel tremendous pressure.

“You can stick to your mission.”

Xie Yuan said calmly:
"But I will come to Tianwaitian again when the time comes."

There were more than a dozen masters of the Kitchen God sect here, and countless followers on earth, but no one responded.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan turned around and walked away, and he and Situ Qin entered the Prince of Pingxi's Palace without any hindrance.

Situ Qin quickly mastered the formation of the palace and completely took back the mansion. After confirming that everything was fine, especially his father's sleeping place, Situ Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xie Yuan, she said reluctantly:
"Are you ready to leave?"

Xie Yuan sighed softly:
"Now that things are stable here, I should go out."

Situ Qin bit her lip lightly and pulled at the corner of Xie Yuan's clothes:
"Take a break, eh? You're tired too. Adjust yourself in the palace so you can do better when you go out. Well, there are a lot of delicious food here, and you haven't heard me play the piano for a long time."

Actually, I just heard it... but it may not count in battle.

Xie Yuan stroked Situ Qin's hair, and couldn't bear to leave so soon, so he said softly:
"Then take a day off first."

Situ Qin's eyes suddenly lit up. Although she felt that one day was too short, it was better than nothing.

She smiled brilliantly, her eyebrows and eyes full of joy.

Xie Yuan was dazzled, and felt that Situ Qin's smile from the bottom of her heart was like a blooming spring flower. However, there were so many exotic flowers and plants in the world, but none of them could compare to her.

Situ Qin pulled him:
"Let's go! Let the chef make something delicious first. The food in Tianwaitian is different from that outside..."

Eat, drink tea, and listen to music.

Xie Yuan spent a long-lost leisurely time with Situ Qin, and suddenly realized that he had not had such an experience for a long time, which made him particularly precious.

I wonder when the next time will be?
He felt a little melancholy.

Until the night, when it was time to rest, the two looked at each other knowingly, and Xie Yuan saw that Situ Qin's eyes revealed a charm that he had never seen before. So the two went into a room.

The sound of the zither lingered in the air for three days.

Until the early morning of three days later.

Xie Yuan pushed open the door, already fully dressed.

He looked back at Situ Qin, who was still sleeping soundly and as quiet as a baby, with a reluctant expression, but still shook his head, turned around and walked out firmly.

The world was in a state of distress, and he had a mission to fulfill, so he could not afford to indulge in sentimental relationships for too long. As long as the world was saved and the people lived in peace and contentment, Xie Yuan would have time to rest.

He turned and left. Situ Qin behind him opened her eyes, lay on the bed and silently watched his back.

Yun Xing appeared at the right time and sent Xie Yuan out of Tianwai Tian. Before saying goodbye, she smiled:

"Don't worry, I will help you take good care of your little wife."

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then bowed and said:
"Thank you very much."

He actually didn't quite understand Yun Xing's thoughts, and didn't know what she wanted. But at the moment, she was indeed on Situ Wan's side, on their side.

Xie Yuan stood on the hillside outside Yunzhou Prefecture and turned to look at the towering peaks that could also be seen from here.

The next stop is Yunshan. (End of this chapter)
