Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 279 Evil King Shi Zhixuan, Undying Seal Technique
Xu Qing stepped forward, and just as he was about to violently blast open the stone door, the stone door suddenly rose slowly and automatically.

"Huh? How did it get open!?"

Wanwan looked at this scene with a puzzled expression on her face.

A strange light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes as his divine sense swept over a person on the other side of the stone gate.

And it was that person who opened the stone door.

At this moment, Wanwan also noticed the legs that were exposed after the stone door was raised.

"Is there someone!?"

After being discovered, the person made no move.

They waited for the stone gate to rise completely, revealing his true form.

He was dressed in a blue robe and had the appearance of a handsome man, but his eyes revealed a sinister aura, and the subtle aura emanating from him made people feel extremely oppressed.

"Who are you……!!"

"The Evil King Shi Zhixuan!"

Wanwan was shocked. She never expected that behind this stone gate would be the evil king Shi Zhixuan, who had not appeared in the martial arts world for many years!
Shi Zhixuan was her master's enemy, and his portrait was hung in her training room and other places.

Zhu Yuyan wished she could tear Shi Zhixuan to pieces, so even though it was the first time Wanwan had met Shi Zhixuan, she recognized him.

"Shi Zhixuan?"

Upon hearing this name, a hint of doubt flashed in Shi Zhixuan's eyes.

Then his face contorted into a ferocious expression, and his surging power seemed to revive and erupt, causing the secret passage to tremble uncontrollably!
"What terrifying skill!"

Wanwan's face turned pale; the burst of power exerted an extremely strong pressure on people.

The person in front of me is truly formidable!
Xu Qing sized up Shi Zhixuan, this evil king of the demonic sect, whose skills were extremely profound.

His talent was exceptionally high. He served as the leader of both the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Sect, integrating the martial arts of the two sects into one and creating the "Heavenly One Heart Method".

He even infiltrated a Buddhist sect, learned Buddhist martial arts, and created a unique and highly skilled movement technique called "Illusionary Demon Movement Technique".

Its greatest achievement lies in the "Undying Seal Technique".

It is derived from the Demonic Heavenly Demon Art, the Heaven-Mending Path, the Flower Sect, and other martial arts, and also incorporates Buddhist principles.

His martial arts skills are even higher than those of the "Heavenly Demon Great Art"!
"That's right, I am Shi Zhixuan!"

At this moment, the expression of the monstrous-faced evil king Shi Zhixuan changed again, and he was no longer insane.

Instead, they possessed an arrogant and disdainful attitude, looking down on all heroes and not taking anyone seriously.

His condition was not normal; he had a mental deficiency that led to a split personality.

Now, he seems to have briefly regained his personality as the Evil King, his evil aura surging wildly, and the oppressive feeling is even stronger, almost suffocating Wanwan.

But as Xu Qing took a step forward, Wanwan had room to catch her breath, and all her auras were stretched open by Xu Qing's will.

"Interesting, Evil King of the Demonic Sect. Let me see just how ingenious your Undying Seal Technique is."

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, he extended a finger, and sword energy erupted, heading straight for Shi Zhixuan's head.

However, the sword energy that was pointed at the target was instantly shifted by an invisible force field, and the sword energy pierced through the wall of the secret passage next to it.

"Such sharp sword energy! You are the Sui Emperor?! That's impossible!"

Shi Zhixuan's expression changed slightly. Although he used the Undying Seal Technique to shift the sword energy, it was not easy, and he could feel the sharpness of the sword energy.

Only then did he turn his attention to Xu Qing.

Shi Zhixuan had naturally met Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Because he had once served as an official in the imperial court, using the alias Pei Ju, he had met Yang Guang many times.

But the current Yang Guang is completely unfamiliar to him.

Could the Sui Emperor possess such profound swordsmanship skills?!

"Who are you?! How dare you impersonate the Sui Emperor!"

Shi Zhixuan shouted a question, but his figure rushed forward to attack.

The killing intent was chilling, and the power emanating from his raised hand was clearly not ordinary true qi, but true qi.

That's a technique that can only be obtained by condensing true essence.

Evil King Shi Zhixuan is already a Grandmaster.

However, he was not normal; his mind was incomplete, and he was in a flawed state, not at his peak.

Even so, his strength was extremely terrifying. This was the first time Xu Qing, a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, had faced such a formidable opponent since arriving in this world.

In just a moment, the two exchanged over a hundred blows, and the entire secret passage was shattered by the terrifying true energy.

Wanwan quickly activated her Heavenly Demon Force Field to block the numerous flying pebbles.

"What a terrifying battle! Even the aftershocks were enough to injure me!"

Fear was evident on Wanwan's face, but the narrow tunnel did not hinder their fight.

Instead, the tunnel cracked even more under the combined force of the two, creating an even larger space.

"Evil King Shi Zhixuan truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest of our Demonic Sect this generation. To be able to fight against His Majesty like this, he is definitely a Grandmaster!"

Wanwan has a keen eye. From the combat power that Shi Zhixuan unleashed, she could tell that his realm was profound and that he had truly become a top-level figure in the martial arts world.

The Grandmaster realm, which countless people aspire to!

Xu Qing remained calm and composed throughout, unsurprised that his opponent was a Grandmaster.

Shi Zhixuan's talent is exceptional, rarely seen in the world.

After so many years, becoming a grandmaster of martial arts is the normal progression.

However, Xu Qing did not feel any pressure from the opponent's combat strength at the moment.

What Wanwan considered an incredibly terrifying skill level was actually quite weak in Xu Qing's eyes.

"Is this all the Evil King is capable of?"

He wanted to see more of Shi Zhixuan's abilities, not just what they were at.

"Who exactly are you?! The Sui Emperor could never possess such skill and martial arts!"

Shi Zhixuan was also shocked. He was the Evil King, who had once dominated the martial arts world.

This was the first time someone had been able to face him with such calmness and ease.

"I am the Emperor of Sui, Shi Zhixuan. If this is all you are capable of, then I am truly disappointed in you."

Xu Qing closed in again, unleashing a burst of his powerful true energy. His terrifying strength accompanied his clenched fist as he punched out, causing pillars of air to form and flames to spring forth out of thin air.

Like a fiery fist, it nearly took over the entire secret passage and charged towards Shi Zhixuan.

Shi Zhixuan's expression changed, his face became solemn, and his powerful and profound true essence suddenly erupted, pushing the characteristics of the Undying Seal Technique to its extreme.

The force of the numerous fiery fists scattered, but then transformed into his own power, launching an even stronger attack on Xu Qing.

The brilliance of the Undying Seal Technique lies in using the enemy's strength against them, utilizing the transformation of Yin and Yang, life and death energies to convert the enemy's attack into one's own power.

This can be used to restore one's own strength, and also to counterattack.

This is similar in principle to the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

However, its utilization of the two energies of life and death is even more ingenious and profound.

"Interesting, but still not enough!"

Xu Qing shook his head. Facing the fiery fist that had been unleashed earlier, he flicked his arm and clenched his fingers, forcefully stopping the force and preventing it from advancing any further.

Xu Qing was also extremely proficient in the art of shifting force.

The seventh level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth involves the principles of illusion and reality, transforming the tangible into the intangible. Xu Qing further deduced and integrated it into Tai Chi Chuan.

Therefore, the current, imperfect Undying Seal Technique is still not enough for Xu Qing.

"This person's control over internal force is no less than mine! His skill level is unfathomable!"

Shi Zhixuan was shocked. Could such a powerful figure be the Sui Emperor?!

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe.

"My current situation is not good, and it's not advisable to get entangled with this person any longer. It's best to leave now!"

Shi Zhixuan realized that Xu Qing was too powerful and difficult to defeat, so he decided to retreat.

After all, he was well aware that he was not at his peak and had mental deficiencies that made it difficult for him to exert his full strength.

A prolonged battle would be very disadvantageous for him.
