My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 391 Kneel Down and Apologize! [6k-word long chapter, two chapters combined]

The entire courtyard was extremely quiet.

A bead of sweat dripped from Bai Ziqing's forehead.

At that moment, his hand was on the hilt of the longsword, but he tried it.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his own sword out!

As a swordsman, I dare not draw my sword when facing an enemy...

This is very dangerous for Bai Ziqing.

He stood right behind Zeng Anmin, his eyes fixed on the elder at the gate.

Their lips were pressed tightly together, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The Heartless Taoist beside him was in even worse shape, his back already soaked with sweat.

His face was pale.

The air seemed to have become thick, and any movement would greatly deplete his strength.

like a statue.

I can't even blink.

He tried his best to speak and make the elder stop.

But he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

"Boom!!!"

The situation in the air changed once again.

The sixty-four sword lights multiplied into one hundred and twenty-eight in the blink of an eye, and the number continued to rise.

"Buzz!"

Two hundred and fifty-six handles.

"Buzz!"

Five hundred and twelve handles.

hum!
One thousand and twenty-four handles!

Each sword has its tip pointing downwards, all pointing in the same direction.

That's... Zeng Anmin's direction.

"boom!!"

The sky suddenly turned deathly white at that moment!
It was a bolt of lightning carrying thunder.

As the lightning subsided, clouds resembling the sunset drifted in, turning the entire sky a scarlet color.

Crimson light spilled across every inch of the land.

This made the old Taoist's face appear extremely sinister as he stared at Zeng Anmin's face:
"Convert to my Daoist Sword Sect, and I may spare your life."

In his heart, he did not want to kill anyone.

But the immature young man opposite him kept being aggressive and disrespectful.

"Are you kidding?"

Zeng Anmin's face was completely expressionless at this moment.

It's cold.

He felt he had never been so furious.

But his face remained calm.

A slight movement of the mind.

"Om!!"

A Dharma image several tens of feet long appeared out of thin air behind him!

Confucianism, Taoism, and the Dharma!

Like a giant.

It shimmered with a captivating golden light.

On each of the Dharma images, there was a Confucian or Taoist ritual implement.

On the left is a golden calligraphy brush.

On the right is a golden scepter!

After the appearance of the Dharma Image.

Zeng Anmin instantly felt that the oppressive feeling around him was not as strong as before.

He stared calmly at the old Taoist priest:

"Now, kneel down and kowtow to the young master to admit your mistake, and I might let you leave the capital alive."

……

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

As Zeng Anmin finished speaking.

The old Taoist priest opposite seemed to disbelieve his ears!

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger:

"Hahaha!!"

"Zeng Anmin, right?"

"Even if the Daoist leader himself came today, he couldn't save you!!"

No nonsense.

The old Taoist's body suddenly floated up and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

In that instant.

The majestic aura of the entire courtyard suddenly dissipated.

"Pfft~"

Two thuds were heard as people fell to the ground.

Bai Ziqing and Wuxinren could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

The Heartless Taoist, however, did not feel relieved. Instead, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted with all his might:
"It's Ten Thousand Swords Converging on the Abyss!!!"

"Zeng Anmin, run!!"

Then he suddenly shouted towards the sky, "Elder! Show mercy!! It's all a misunderstanding!!"

However, the next moment, his mouth shut.

Because a red light flashed across the sky.

The entire capital city fell silent because of this red light.

Its powerful aura sent a shiver down the spines of everyone within a hundred miles.

……

The Secretariat.

Zeng Shilin put the last volume of the file into the library.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's official business is finished. I'll go back to my residence to rest and come again tomorrow."

He was about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of a red light out of the corner of his eye.

The soaring red light was exceptionally dazzling, like a raging fire.

"Lord Wenqing, something seems off... That's the direction of the Duke of Qi's residence!!"

After the flash of red light, Zeng Shilin's colleagues felt a jolt of fear, then stared at him in astonishment.
"What a powerful momentum!"

"what?!"

Zeng Shilin narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly looked up.

At the same time, a golden light flashed deep in his eyes.

Then, through the distance of ten miles, he could clearly see the scene in the air.

He saw a Taoist priest with a cold expression.

A long, cyan sword floated behind the Taoist priest.

Beneath the Taoist's feet stood ten thousand blades of cold light!

After seeing this scene clearly, Zeng Shilin barely uttered a word, his whole body bristling with anger.

Golden light surged into Zeng Shilin's throat in an instant, followed by an ancient sound like a giant bell:

"Who dares to offend the Duke of Qi's mansion?!"

Then came a flash of golden light.

His body then disappeared from the Minister's residence.

……

royal palace.

Emperor Jianhong points to the white pieces and indicates where to place them.

He then slowly stood up, faced the opposite side of the chessboard, and pointed to place a black piece on the board.

A red light flashed.

He frowned, and subconsciously looked up into the distance, a faint light reflected in the depths of his eyes:

"What happened?"

"Shhh!!"

At that very moment, Wang Dong, a second-rank elder from deep within the palace, appeared out of thin air before Emperor Jianhong:

"It's Daoist Jiyuan from the Daoist sect! He chatted with me for quite a while... That's the direction of the Duke of Qi's mansion."

"Could it be that he has developed a rift with Lord Wenqing?"

Upon hearing the ancestor's voice, Emperor Jianhong's face darkened:

“This is within the territory of our Great Holy Dynasty. It is not up to the Taoist sect to show off its power.”

"Ancestor, please make a move."

"Hmm." A hint of hesitation flashed across Wang Dong's face, but he ultimately did not speak, and slowly nodded.

With a "whoosh," the short sword flashed out, and he stepped onto it with his toes.

The next moment, he rushed out of the palace.

…………

Xuanzhen Division.

Master Xu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

He looked expressionlessly toward the Duke's mansion.

A slight smile curved the corners of her lips:
"Sword Sect...heh."

…………

Ten thousand swords facing the abyss?

Zeng Anmin looked at the dense sword light falling from the sky like raindrops.

His face showed a hint of solemnity.

Now that he had spoken, he was prepared to face the old Taoist's attack.

But he truly hadn't expected that this bastard would unleash such a powerful move right from the start!
And judging from the looks of it, he really is going to push himself to the brink of death!
He assumed the old Taoist priest would first attack him casually, and then he would be busy dealing with a couple of moves.

They dragged it out until their father arrived, and then the father, son, and Bai Ziqing fought the old Taoist together.

But it's too late!

He had no time to think about it.

The countless sword lights that were about to fall from the sky suddenly stopped at this moment!

"Om!!"

Like fine sand in the desert, the sword lights slowly coalesced.

Finally, it formed a long sword that was a hundred feet tall, like a mountain peak!

It pressed straight down.

"Are you Garen?!"

Zeng Anmin couldn't help but make a comment.

But his hands moved without the slightest hesitation.

As the sage said, "A wise man does not seek refuge in dangerous situations!"

This is the move Qin Shoucheng used to subdue the fish monster at the gate of the Xuanjing Division in Liangjiang County.

A massive golden wall formed from righteous golden energy appeared before Zeng Anmin.

"Ding!!"

The longsword suddenly pressed down on the golden wall.

The golden wall shimmered with unparalleled golden light!
"Boom!!!"

Zeng Anmin felt as if the golden wall was a water pump, sucking away all the righteous energy within him...

He has given it his all.

However, the golden light only blocked it for a moment.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by the sound of the golden wall shattering.

The giant sword continued to fall downwards!

Unstoppable!

He stared blankly at the enormous sword tip.

Suddenly, a bright, intense light flashed in the corner of my eye!

"Jade Strike the Top!"

A sharp shout rang out.

Then a green wall of energy appeared above his head.

At the critical moment, it helped him block the unstoppable giant sword!

"puff!!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Cousin!"

Zeng Anmin's pupils suddenly contracted!

A delicate figure stood blocking his way.

Although her figure was delicate, her face revealed a stubbornness.

"Huiyu, you still have worldly desires?!"

Among the clouds.

The old Taoist priest's stern voice rang out.

My cousin gritted her teeth and stood in front of Zeng Anmin.

"Elder, he's just a child, what did he do wrong?!"

She stared directly at the figure above the clouds.

"Senior sister!"

Wuxin realized what was happening and, without thinking, floated to his cousin's side.

"Pfft~"

Wuxin knelt down immediately and said urgently to the figure in the sky:
"Elder, please, for the sake of this disciple, spare Senior Sister!"

he is very smart.

The name Zeng Anmin was not mentioned.

"Humph!"

"You two get out of my way! Today, I'm going to unleash a massacre!"

The sounds from within the clouds were like the coldest winter in the world.

“Puff~!!”

A trickle of scarlet blood spilled from the corner of Zeng Rongyu's mouth as she stood in front of Zeng Anmin.

The giant sword in the air plummeted another three feet!

"Tum!!"

Tang's knees buckled, and he staggered.

But she persevered.

However, cracks have begun to appear all over her body...

In just a few moments, her clothes were soaked in blood!
"Mother!!" Tiger screamed.

"Tap tap tap." His calves ran extremely fast, trying to rush from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Bai!" Zeng Anmin saw this and quickly called out to Bai Ziqing on the other side.

He wanted to shout for Bai Ziqing to stop Hu Zi.

But... there was no one there anymore.

at the same time.

In the sky, Bai Ziqing's arrogant voice rang out:
"You old bastard! How dare I not draw my sword?!"

"How dare you insult my brother! Today I will tear you to pieces!!"

"Wow!!!"

A cold, sharp sword light flashed.

It turned out that, without anyone noticing, he had suddenly launched a direct attack on the old Taoist priest in the air!
Bai Ziqing's body froze in mid-air.

Even when facing a formidable enemy as high as a mountain, the white-clad swordsman remains steadfast.

They even dare to draw their swords!

His sword energy flew towards the old Taoist priest at an extremely fast speed!
"Humph!!"

"Lord chicken and dog!"

In the clouds, the old Taoist's voice remained as cold and ruthless as ever.

The giant sword pressing down on Zeng Anmin and his cousin made a humming sound.

"Chirp!"

A beam of sword light was drawn from the giant sword and pressed down on Bai Ziqing's sword energy as it slashed towards the old Taoist.

"Bang!!"

Bai Ziqing's sword aura disappeared.

His martial arts aura was also insufficient to support his airborne state at this moment.

"Da~"

Fortunately, he always made sure to maintain his composure.

He landed on the roof in a very dangerous situation.

He looked up again, unwilling to give up.

But then he saw a golden light above his head.

His face finally showed a hint of excitement.

"My lord!!"

His voice rang out.

……

"Taoism?"

"Second rank?"

Four short words. They emanated from a burst of golden light and reached everyone's ears.

"father!!"

Hear this familiar voice.

Zeng Anmin was so moved he almost cried.

Why are my eyes always filled with tears?
Because I love my father deeply!

You are finally here!
“I say: Those who dare to defy the majesty of the nation shall die.”

Compared to Zeng Anmin's "The Sage Said," my father's pretentiousness immediately increased.

A golden light flashed on the horizon.

A figure stood in mid-air.

He had one hand behind his back, and although there were some wrinkles around his phoenix eyes, his face was incredibly majestic!
He is like the most impenetrable wall in the world.

He merely glanced at the giant sword standing upright in the mansion.

Reach out.

Golden light flashes!

"Boom!!!"

A figure a thousand feet tall appeared.

Golden figure.

He looks exactly like Zeng Shilin.

But this figure was a full thousand feet long!
The vast capital city, beneath the feet of this giant, is no bigger than an anthill.

With Zeng Shilin taking action.

The thousand-foot-tall Dharma image opened its eyes.

"Om!!"

Two beams of light flashed in the giant's eyes.

The giant has made his move.

He stretched out his giant hand and grasped the giant sword standing in the courtyard!
"A second-rank Confucian scholar?"

"So what?!"

Within the clouds, after Zeng Shilin appeared, a hint of apprehension flashed in the old Taoist's eyes, but he still made his move without hesitation!

"Here comes the sword!!!"

His voice rang out without any emotion.

"Boom!!!"

The giant sword, held by Zeng Shilin's thousand-foot-tall Dharma image, struggled wildly.

"You still dare to move?!"

"I declare, may all immense power be bestowed upon me!!"

Zeng Shilin spoke calmly.

"Boom!!!"

The thousand-foot-tall Dharma image flashed continuously with golden light.

The giant's hand gripped the hilt of the greatsword tightly.

Then he slowly raised his other hand, aimed it at the giant sword, clenched his fist, and swung it down fiercely!
"Ding~~~"

As the giant fist slammed into the sword.

The buzzing sound echoed throughout the entire capital city.

It's like the most experienced blacksmith forging cold iron, producing the most crisp and beautiful sound.

As this heavy hammer fell...

The old Taoist priest in the clouds turned red in the face.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

He made a hand seal...

……

After the giant sword was grasped by Zeng Shilin's Dharma Image.

"Cousin!"

Zeng Anmin held his cousin tightly in his arms:
"How are you?!"

At this moment, my cousin's face, body, and limbs were all covered in cracks.

Fresh blood kept flowing out of the wound.

Despite being weak.

Zeng Rongyu still had the strength to speak, and she said haltingly, "Quan Fu, don't hold a grudge against the Grand Elder."

"He...he's already holding back."

"Otherwise, when I blocked the attack of 'Ten Thousand Swords Converging on the Abyss,' I would have been turned into a bloody mist and exploded."

“I can sense that he has no ill intentions towards you, but there must be some misunderstanding between the two of you.”

……

Zeng Anmin had a headache.

He felt that his cousin had been brainwashed.

"Sister, you should get some rest first."

Fortunately, judging from my cousin's voice, it didn't seem like anything serious was wrong.

He gently placed his cousin on the ground, glancing indifferently at the Heartless Taoist:
"You have a good eye on my cousin."

"If I come back in a little while and she does anything wrong, I will kill you."

"Understand?"

As he spoke, a strong killing intent emanated from him.

It was formed after slaying thousands of demon soldiers and killing several demon kings and great demon kings on Mount Baishan.

"Hi~"

Wu Xin gasped in surprise.

He felt like he was being watched by someone.

"Yes, I know, she's my senior sister too."

For some reason, Zeng Anmin said, "Kill him."

He actually believed it.

He truly felt that if he didn't take good care of his senior sister, Zeng Anmin would kill him.

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin calmly stood up.

Then his gaze went straight up into the sky.

At this moment, Zeng Shilin's battle of wits with the old Taoist priest had entered another stage.

If the two of them had been holding back just now, fearing they might accidentally harm the people of the capital.

Now, the decision is no longer up to the two of them.

"Father, I'm here to help you!!"

Zeng Anmin looked at the old Taoist's figure in the air, his eyes now filled with frost!

"I'm coming too!!"

Bai Ziqing then appeared behind Zeng Anmin.

"The Dharma Image arises!!"

"Within this domain, I am invincible!"

They both spoke at the same time.

"Om!!"

The golden Dharma image was revealed.

The icy realm slowly unfolded.

……

air.

Zeng Shilin had no other thoughts in his mind.

Both are of the second rank.

Their battle meant they couldn't afford to be distracted.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest stood in mid-air.

He commanded the enormous sword from afar.

Wherever his arm reached, his longsword followed.

And so did his father at that moment.

The towering figure behind him, thousands of feet tall, was an unparalleled Mount Tai.

Wherever his fist pointed, the giant's fists swept in the same direction.

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

The giant sword and the giant have clashed a thousand times.

"In that case..."

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath.

Then a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"The Tao follows the laws of heaven and earth... Swordsmanship is natural..."

His voice was low and murmured.

The greatsword in his hand suddenly split in two, then in four...

Unlike before, each of his split swords now is a giant sword!
Each division.

His aura became even stronger.

Zeng Shilin watched this scene unfold.

His face was extremely calm.

"I proclaim: Righteousness and integrity will sweep away demons!"

"And you are the demon!"

Not loud.

But everyone heard it clearly.

at the same time.

The combined attack from Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Die, you old beast!!"

"Fuck you!"

……

Hear this.

Bai Ziqing's eyes widened in confusion for a moment.

How could anyone say such a thing?

The waves of the golden tablet had already emanated from Zeng Anmin's Dharma image and were heading far towards the old Taoist's body in the air!
"die!!"

Bai Ziqing's lips twitched, but in the end he didn't imitate Zeng Anmin; he simply uttered a single word.

The sword energy and the waves merged into one, surging rapidly toward the old Taoist priest.

at the same time.

The giant behind Zeng Shilin once again burst forth with golden light.

A huge golden tablet appeared in the hands of the thousand-foot giant.

"Ding ~"

Waves surged forth.

If Zeng Anmin's waves are like ripples in a pond.

Those waves that Zeng Shilin created... are like black holes that rise up in the universe!

And at this time.

The old Taoist only had eyes for Zeng Shilin.

He watched the golden light surge towards him.

His face turned red.

"Combined swords!!"

"go!!"

"boom!!!"

Countless giant swords surged toward one place.

Instead, it emerged as a sword three feet three inches, three-tenths of an inch, and three centimeters long.

But this sword emitted an extremely dazzling light.

Like a new sun rising in the sky.

It will illuminate the entire capital city!
It was clearly night.

But when viewed from above the capital, the city was illuminated as if it were daytime because of the ordinary longsword that had been condensed!
in the sky.

The vision has been realized.

Regardless of Zeng Shilin's golden tablet.

It was still the dazzling sword light that condensed before the old Taoist priest.

It could be a combined attack from Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing.

These are all attacks capable of causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

The strange phenomenon of all three moves lighting up simultaneously... was extremely terrifying.

"Om!!"

The moon turned into a blood moon.

The dark clouds in the sky turned into a blood moon!
Every twinkling star turned into a red eye.

"Wow!!!"

bloody.

A true bloodbath.

Red rain.

The wind smells fishy.

It stimulated the nose and skin of everyone in the entire Great Sage's Pilgrimage to the Capital.

Countless people looked up in bewilderment.

What they saw.

Only in the sky did that giant hold a golden scepter.

A sword light shone brightly in front of that tiny figure.

Compared to these two.

The combined attack by Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing actually seemed the least significant.

It was as if time had stood still.

Everyone stared at this scene blankly.

They waited quietly for the golden tablet to collide with the sword's edge.

Actually, it's not that time stood still, it's that they moved too fast!

“Fellow Daoist, this action is inappropriate within the territory of my Great Holy Dynasty.”

A leisurely voice rang out.

A crack appeared in the sky.

Master Xu slowly emerged from the crack.

He smiled as he looked at the old Taoist priest, and then smiled as he looked at Zeng Shilin.

I didn't see him put in much effort.

He simply raised his hand and waved.

A tremendous force froze the air.

Zeng Shilin and the old Taoist priest's offensive tactics both ceased at this moment.

They stopped just before they were about to collide.

The old Taoist's face darkened, and he forced out four words:
"The power of national destiny?"

Clearly, even Xu Tianshi, a first-rank master, did not believe he was incapable of fighting.

But if one were to control the fate of the Great Sage Kingdom, that would be a different story.

"Stop?" Zeng Shilin's expression darkened further as he stared at Master Xu:
"Hey Xu, whose side are you on?"

"If I hadn't arrived early, my son would have already died by this old scoundrel's sword!"

“Even my Duke of Qi’s mansion will be razed to the ground.”

After speaking, he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with intense killing intent as he looked at the old Taoist priest:

"You think I'd let him go?!"

Zeng Anmin and Bai Ziqing were frozen in mid-air at this moment.

An immense force bound the two tightly together.

Zeng Anmin pursed his lips.

The power of national destiny is truly astounding!

"How are you doing?"

Upon hearing Zeng Shilin's words, the old Taoist priest's sharp face revealed a ruthless intent:

"Could it be that this old Taoist priest really wants to invite the head Taoist priest to the Holy Dynasty?!"

A hint of disdain and coldness slowly crept onto Zeng Shilin's lips as he looked at the old Taoist priest, his voice indifferent:
"Kneel down and apologize."

……

Cool!
Hearing his father's words, Zeng Anmin was bound by the power of the nation's destiny.

But his eyes suddenly lit up.

Good father! This is exactly what I wanted!!
"Kneel down and apologize!!"

Zeng Anmin suddenly found himself able to speak, and he looked towards the old Taoist priest in the air:

"Otherwise, this matter isn't over!!"

"Hmph!" The old Taoist sneered, "I am eight hundred years old and have never apologized to anyone."

"Master Xu, either I summon the Daoist leader to find you, or this matter is dropped. You decide."

As he spoke, he looked over at Master Xu.

only……

Upon seeing the expression on Master Xu's face, his own face froze.

After hearing the words "Kneel down and apologize," Master Xu...

He stroked his beard and nodded: "I think what Lord Wenqing said is quite reasonable."

Old Taoist: ? ? ?
