Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 341 All are enemies
"boom!"

The moment the hammer and palm collided, the old eunuch's arms shattered like rotten wood, and the ghostly blue flames were instantly dispersed by the extremely fierce Ten Extremes True Qi.

The hammer's force didn't diminish; it slammed heavily onto his skull, the muffled sound of his skull collapsing accompanied by a spray of blood mist. His hunched body flew backward like a torn sack, leaving a shocking trail of blood on the blue bricks of the martial arts stage.

Xu Yunfan put away his hammer and stood up, coldly glancing at the bloody, mangled remains.

The old eunuch was not yet dead; a hissing sound came from his throat, and his shattered chest was still rising and falling faintly.

The tenacious vitality of a ninth-realm Qi cultivator has now become a torment.

"You eunuchs are really something..."

Xu Yunfan stepped forward, raising his hammer once more, "This has really opened my eyes!"

This hammer blow, carrying the force of a landslide and a tsunami, unleashed a powerful surge of Ten Extremes True Qi, with the hammerhead carrying the power of the earth's veins, creating a clearly visible shockwave that crashed down!

The old eunuch's mangled body exploded completely under the crushing force of the terrifying true energy, scattering bone fragments and blood everywhere, along with the blue brick floor within a three-zhang radius.

After the smoke and dust cleared, only a pit about ten feet deep remained, with a few pieces of blood-stained eunuch robes stuck to the bottom.

"Xu Yunfan, how dare you betray your country?!"

A sharp shout, like the clanging of cold iron, rang out as Guo Lang, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, stepped out from the edge of the viewing platform, his official robes fluttering, his face full of anger.

"Treason?"

Xu Yunfan suddenly burst into laughter, tucked the Shaking Mountain and Sea-Suppressing Hammer back into the mechanism at his waist, and drew the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace, pointing it at Guo Lang.

"If this 'nation' is a blood sacrifice of thirty million people across the six realms and seventy-nine provinces, using vengeful spirits as firewood and bones as cauldrons, all to extend the Empress's lifespan by half a century..."

He pointed his hammer directly at the imperial city, the sound of which caused the water clocks on all four sides to shatter. "So what if this country has been betrayed!"

Xu Yunfan stared at Guo Lang.

"Guo Lang of the Imperial Observatory..."

Xu Yunfan pointed his mace directly at the other's brow, and the Ten Extremes True Qi reverberated in his throat like a dragon's roar. "Three years ago, you personally built the Star Gazing Platform, sacrificing 30 million people from 79 states, just to prolong the life of that empress!"

He stepped forward, his body surging with the power of the Ten Extremes True Qi: "When the common people weep blood, you laugh and drink fine wine atop the platform; when wronged souls wail, you use a compass to calculate the balance of fortune..."

The heavy mace ripped through the air with a sharp whistle, "This kind of butcher and sorcerer dares to talk about loyalty and righteousness in broad daylight?!"

"kill!"

Xu Yunfan's Ten Extremes True Qi surged like a raging river, and the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace was entwined with Xuanhuang Qi. Each strike carried the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

He felt extremely happy. It turned out that the ancient heroes who went to war were not hypocritical in raising the banner of "acting on behalf of Heaven". Only when they were committed to righteousness could they fight more freely and enjoyably!

Look, he's wielding the mace with more strength now, and his spirits are much better than before.

The mace's edge pierced the air, like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens.

The blue bricks of the Xuanwu Martial Arts Stage beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch. Xu Yunfan grew increasingly excited as he thought about it, and immediately let out a long roar: "The Dao Sect is fighting for the martial destiny of the world today. You are the kind of people who sacrifice blood for the country and harm the common people..."

The mace swept across, crushing the incoming swords and spears into dust.

"He deserves this blow!"

Before the ten extreme true energy contained within the mace had dissipated, a streak of azure light suddenly swept across the martial arts arena.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

The Taoist priest from the Xuanzhen Sect appeared, stepping out with the Bagua Step. His silver whisk, its threads surging like a waterfall, miraculously entangled the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace at the critical moment. The seemingly delicate whisk touched the mace, producing a metallic clang. Xu Yunfan felt the force on the mace vanish like a mud ox sinking into the sea. An extremely ingenious and unparalleled method of deflecting the force was dissipating the Ten Extremes True Qi layer by layer!

What great strength!

Guanshan Daoren was shaken, his true energy surged, his Daoist robe billowed, and he couldn't help but take three steps back. Only when his dragon and tiger true energy transformed into a dragon and a tiger swirling around his body did he finally stop.

His expression remained unchanged. He made a hand seal with his left hand and spoke in a voice as loud as a great bell: "Brother Xu, your killing intent is excessive!"

Although Guanshan Daoist used the Dragon Tiger Elixir Qi to deflect seven-tenths of the force, he was still shaken back three steps, and the blue bricks under his feet shattered one after another.

The tiger's mouth of his left hand hidden in his sleeve had already cracked, and the illusory image formed by the Dragon Tiger True Qi was even shaken and dissipated for a moment. How could this be the power that an ordinary ninth realm cultivator should have?!

"When I first met this boy at Qingyue Xuanzhen Mountain, he was just a kid who had barely touched the threshold of the Outer Three Harmonies..."

Guanshan Daoren was filled with shock and turmoil as he recalled the day Xu Yunfan and Su Zhenhe fought.

The ten extreme true qi contained in this mace is now comparable to that of an old monster who has cultivated for a hundred years in the Daoist sect!
"Senior Guanshan?!"

Xu Yunfan was somewhat surprised, then his voice deepened.

With a flick of his whisk, the silver threads at the end of the whisk seemed to come alive and transformed into the tip of a spear, gleaming with gold and jade.

His eyes were slightly lowered, and his voice was as calm as an ancient well: "Young friend Xu, the Xuanzhen Sect has been ordered by the Emperor to guard the Jade Capital's earth veins."

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow, his fingers tracing the patterns on the Nine Profound Dragon Mace. He channeled his Ten Extreme True Qi into the mace, causing the nine profound patterns on the heavy mace to light up one after another.

"The Xuanzhen Sect is one of the top six sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, possessing ten prefectures in Lingnan Province. Its 'Dragon Tiger Elixir Strength' is said to point directly to the realm of terrestrial immortals. Why would it lower itself to beg the Great Zhou royal family and become their lackey?"

"Lower your stance? Willing to become a lackey?"

The Taoist priest Guanshan's wide sleeves fluttered slightly, and the Xuanzhen Sword, a divine weapon hanging at his waist, gleamed with a cold light.

His lowered brows, as if gazing at a mountain, caused the surrounding air to freeze abruptly: "Does Master Xu know that the Great Zhou royal family possesses all the resources of the Great Zhou empire? Of the six realms under heaven, the sects receive three, while the Great Zhou alone receives seven. The Great Zhou Empress holds the 'Dragon Suppressing Seal,' and can even mobilize thirty-six dragon vein nodes?"

"Last year alone, the Xuanzhen Sect paid three thousand catties of star-patterned steel to the Imperial Treasury in exchange for the mining rights to the Xuan Iron vein in the Crimson Flame Rift Valley. Not to mention..."

He suddenly looked up, his pupils reflecting the faint fluctuations of true energy behind Xu Yunfan: "The 'Dragon-Nailing Technique' that the Dao Sect is currently performing at Qingwei Mountain requires obsidian from the Ghost Cry Abyss, which is controlled by the royal family."

The sound of the Imperial City Guard's gong drifted from afar, and the Taoist priest listened intently.

Xu Zhenchuan wondered, why was Hong Baichuan of Tiangong Cave willing to forge weapons for the Empress? And why did the three ascetic monks of Amitabha Temple appear at Qingwei Mountain of the Dao Sect?

He suddenly smiled and said, "Which sect in this world isn't drinking poison to quench its thirst?"

Xu Yunfan's heart stirred slightly, and he instantly realized that in this matter, Dao Sect had acted unilaterally and had already placed itself on the opposite side of the major sects.

Indeed, the Dao Sect wanted to sever the Great Zhou Dragon Vein and lift Xu Yunfan out of his shackles to become a terrestrial immortal.

If Xu Yunfan succeeds and the Dao Sect succeeds, then the balance of power among the six realms will no longer be maintained; instead, the Dao Sect will dominate the world, becoming a superpower with many strong contenders.

"No wonder, no wonder the Xuanzhen Sect couldn't hold back either..."

Xu Yunfan's Ten Extremes True Qi surged within his body like thunder, and the Qi on the mace's edge emitted a sharp edge.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

"Among the six major sects, Amitabha Temple is the Empress's lackey, Xuanzhen Sect obtained the cultivation technique, and Jiuyao Sect has always been ambivalent..."
