Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 205 A Painful Price, A Sword Comes from the West

"Such terrifying control."

"This woman is clearly blessed by heaven and has obtained a great opportunity by chance. How can she control her power so subtly? It is simply exquisite. Even I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

"That's terrifying. Once you cultivate to the level of a terrestrial immortal, you understand one method and all methods become clear. Even if you're not a grandmaster of the sword, you're definitely not much worse than an ordinary sword master. That sword aura earlier was as if it wanted to devour the sun and moon, it was terrifying. That princess was able to stand on the tip of the sword as if it were nothing and forcefully break through that sword."

"Wow, unbelievable!!"

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell.

Whether it was the many terrestrial immortals fighting in the Jingnian Temple, or those who had been itching to make a move, the way they looked at Zhao Min now completely lacked any contempt; they no longer regarded her merely as a lucky one.

Instead, they regarded it as a formidable and terrifying adversary.

A powerful opponent who requires them all to exert all their strength to defeat!
Just as everyone was in shock, Zhu Jinzhen's voice rang in Zhao Min's mind: "Your control over your power is very poor. From now on, let them play with you."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

Zhao Min's heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable sense of peace welled up inside her.

It was as if even if she were to face countless heroes from all over the world, wolves eager to seize the Heavenly Sword and the Jade Disc from her, she would have no reason to worry.

Once Zhu Jinzhen's power subsided, Zhao Min regained control of her body, but her expression gradually turned cold as she looked at the crowd: "I know that you all came for the Heavenly Sword and the Jade Disc in my hand."

"If that's the case, then let's go!"

Zhao Min's voice suddenly rose several notches, as if she were not facing an attack from a group of the world's strongest warriors, but rather a few insignificant villains surrounding her, filled with contempt and arrogance: "Let me see how much ability these so-called heroes, the world's best, really have?"

Boom, boom, boom!

While everyone was stunned, Zhao Min did not hesitate to control Pang Ban and the others to self-destruct on the spot.

Although Yan Kuangtu and the others noticed in time and withdrew explosively, or used soft force to repel the human bombs such as Pang Ban and Hong Ri Fa Wang, how could they allow the self-destruction of a terrestrial immortal of the same realm to come and go as they pleased?

Soon, mushroom clouds enveloped Zhao Min's most troublesome enemies.

Ning Daoqi unleashed his Eight-Pounce Scattered Hand Technique and the Daoist Wuqiu Dao Jue to their fullest extent, but under the entanglement of the Red Sun Dharma King's Immortality Technique and Nine True Words, he already had few advantages, especially when the Red Sun Dharma King was determined to die and take him down with him.

Faced with the threat of death, Ning Daoqi could only grit his teeth, break the arm that was tightly bound by the Red Sun Dharma King, and break free to retreat.

"Cutting off an arm to save your life is decisive, but how many more chances do you have?" Zhao Min's cold voice was chilling, shaking everyone and sending shivers down their spines.

The next moment, the familiar 'Soul Returns' rang out again.

The Red Sun Dharma King, who had turned into a blood mist, reappeared before everyone in his complete form.

"puff!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed through the void like a ghost.

With a single palm strike, the newly resurrected Red Sun Dharma King's body shattered, turning into a shower of blood once more. Under the boiling, surging, terrifying malevolent energy, everyone finally realized that the one who had struck was none other than Yan Kuangtu.

However, he was also in a sorry state at this moment, covered in blood.

With a 'crack,' Yan Kuangtu reattached his right arm, which had been broken by the backlash of true energy after his fierce attack. Relying on the terrifying vitality of a terrestrial immortal, he almost instantly used his qi and blood to heal the wound.

Zheng~!

A sharp blade of light cleaved through the darkness, emerging from the dust and smoke.

Song Que, carrying a severed arm and the Narcissus Knife, revealed his miserable state.

"Hiss! Even the Heavenly Blade is no match for that newly ascended Land Immortal?"

"That's Song Que, the universally acknowledged pinnacle of swordsmanship!"

The heroes from all walks of life in the direction of the Sui Dynasty were shocked, and both the righteous and the wicked showed expressions of horror.

That's Song Que, the Heavenly Blade. Ning Daoqi once frankly admitted that in a life-or-death battle, there is no one who is absolutely certain of victory. He is the only man in the world whose swordsmanship is unparalleled among all nations and who once stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship with his swordsmanship celestial phenomena.

"Ning Daoqi cut off his arm to survive, and the Heavenly Blade also lost an arm. This fearless land immortal is truly terrifying."

A tall, imposing man in fine clothes looked at Pang Ban, who had been resurrected by Zhao Min with the 'Heavenly Sword', with awe in his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "No, what's truly terrifying is not just his immortality, but also the fact that the person Song Que is facing is Pang Ban."

"Pang Ban?"

The martial arts heroes of the Sui Dynasty had a poor understanding of Pang Ban.

"This man is a master of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. He has roamed the grasslands and beyond for decades without anyone being able to stop him. Although he is a celestial being, he had already fought with a terrestrial immortal before he entered the realm of terrestrial immortals, and he did not die." "He is hailed as the future pillar of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, a man who can once again support the Mongol Yuan Dynasty after the fall of the three great pillars of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty: Meng Chixing, Si Hanfei, and Phagpa." Xu Kaishan had dealt with Pang Ban before and knew how terrifying the other party was.

If Pang Ban had not yet broken through to the next realm, Song Que would have killed him as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs.

The gap in understanding between different levels cannot be bridged by innate talent.

However, when Pang Ban also stepped into the realm of the Land Immortal, even though he did not break through on his own, his realm was flawed. Given Pang Ban's talent, when he faced Song Que, who had also just broken through, the result of their life-or-death battle was that Song Que won by losing an arm. Xu Kaishan was extremely shocked.

Just as everyone was discussing.

Yan Kuangtu and his companions once again faced their respective opponents who had been resurrected from the dead.

"Don't give them the chance to get close and self-destruct."

"Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Everyone regrouped. If Zhao Min's sudden display of skill hadn't been so shocking that it captivated them, how could they have given Pang Ban and the others an opportunity to take advantage?
Now, all they need to do is stay alert and stall Pang Ban and the others for a bit.

The presence of Shi Zhixuan and the several hidden terrestrial immortals surrounding Zhao Min will make Zhao Min realize just how ridiculous she and Pang Ban are without the protection of the Heavenly Sword.

"Do it!"

Everyone tacitly charged towards Zhao Min once again.

Chaos ensued.

Pang Ban, along with the Red Sun Dharma King, Nian Liandan, and others, fearlessly sought to seize the opportunity to drag Song Que and Yan Kuangtu down with them, while the latter acted cautiously, leaving no openings.

"what……"

A Grandmaster of the Profound Realm was screaming in agony. The Land Immortal Realm unleashed its full killing power, with sword energy that could easily stretch for hundreds of feet. It was something that a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm could not withstand. Any sword energy, saber energy, or palm strike could instantly kill a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm.

The masters of the Zhixuan Sect who were trying to take advantage of the chaos were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

The battlefield of the terrestrial immortals is not something that anyone below the Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena can even glimpse; even if one were to observe it closely, there is a risk of death.

Zhu Yuyan, Fan Qinghui, and the others led their disciples to retreat.

Zhao Min, on the other hand, directly faced off against Evil King Shi Zhixuan, Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, Yi Sword Master Fu Cailin, and Dongying Overlord Blade, among other masters. She fought five land immortals alone, and she was even fighting them unarmed.

In just one encounter, Zhao Min found herself in grave danger.

"Damn it." Zhao Min gritted her teeth, anxious. Suddenly, she realized that her old strength had not been exhausted and new strength had been generated. She looked down in surprise at the He Shi Bi in her palm.

Without hesitation, she suddenly rose into the air and turned around as if to flee.

"Zheng!"

A sharp sword light streaked across the sky for hundreds of feet, slashing towards Zhao Min. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes, holding a sword in one hand, blocked Zhao Min's path.

"Please return the Heavenly Sword that the Princess stole from His Highness Prince Su of the Great Ming Dynasty." Xie Xiaofeng pointed his sword, his sword intent covering all directions. Although he did not draw his sword again, he had already pointed the Lingtian Sword, which he had comprehended from the fifteenth sword, at Zhao Min.

"Hahahahaha!"

"With such a lively atmosphere, how could you not wait for me?"

"I would also like to see what the Heavenly Sword is!"

A figure, laughing loudly, strode through the sky, wearing a brocade hat and sable fur. Behind him was a large eagle with wingspans of several meters. Although they were still thousands of meters apart, they were already in front of each other in an instant.

The Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai!!

Those who were far away, as well as Xie Xiaofeng and the others who were blocked by the sky, all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

If Yan Kuangtu is merely known as the number one master in the Song Dynasty, and is a rising star who emerged after Dugu Qiubai was forced to flee the world by Zhang Sanfeng and others.

Dugu Qiubai was a true swordsman who had conquered the world and was almost invincible.

Even Xie Xiaofeng wasn't very confident of winning against Dugu Qiubai.

At that moment, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the void and, while everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, it swiftly grabbed the Heavenly Sword and the He Shi Bi jade in Zhao Min's hand.
