Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 281 Defeated by Fist at Shi Zhixuan, Astonishing Wealth
With the painting hanging from his head, Shi Zhixuan was pressed against the wall by Xu Qing's strength, making it difficult for him to even fall.

"What kind of punch is that?!"

Shi Zhixuan coughed up blood, his face pale, and with difficulty spoke, asking Xu Qing about the fist technique that had defeated him.

"This is not a boxing technique, it's just the most basic and ordinary straight punch."

Xu Qing spoke indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back.

"A regular straight punch!?" Shi Zhixuan's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected such an answer.

puff!
He coughed up another mouthful of blood, and could no longer stay conscious. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

At that moment, he fell off the wall and never moved again.

Xu Qing's words seemed to have a great impact on Shi Zhixuan. A simple and ordinary straight punch actually broke his strongest technique, the Undying Seal Technique.

How outrageous!

But Xu Qing wasn't lying; it was the truth.

His boxing skills are profound; even a simple straight punch can easily unleash the power within his body.

The road to simplicity, return to nature.

Any complex and varied boxing techniques must eventually break free from all of this and return to their origins.

This is Xu Qing's level of mastery in martial arts.

As for Xu Qing's true killing move—the Killing Fist—this martial art, born solely for slaughter, is naturally unsuitable for use here.

Once the killing fist is unleashed, it will inevitably annihilate living beings.

All enemies are doomed.

It's truly a pity that someone as talented as Shi Zhixuan died.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright!?"

At this moment, seeing that the battle was over, Wanwan hurriedly rushed out of the secret passage and entered this spacious but broken secret chamber.

Moreover, seeing Xu Qing unharmed, the worry in his heart dissipated, and a joyful smile spread across his face.

"Although your Demonic King is powerful, he cannot harm me."

Xu Qing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wanwan's beautiful eyes sparkled, her face filled with excitement and admiration. She said, "Your Majesty's martial arts are unparalleled. Whether in terms of power or martial arts, you are the number one person in the world!"

She wasn't flattering her; she genuinely believed it to be true.

Shi Zhixuan is the evil king of her demonic sect. Judging from the strength he just displayed, he has undoubtedly stepped into the Grandmaster level.

But even such a martial arts grandmaster was no match for His Majesty.

Even His Majesty was not harmed in the slightest.

With such a huge gap, how can Your Majesty not be the best in the world?!
Even if the three grandmasters who have been famous for many years were here, she would still hold the same idea.

I firmly believe that His Majesty the Sui Emperor was the invincible number one in the world!

"Number one in the world?"

Xu Qing shook his head slightly. He was invincible in two lifetimes, and the title of the number one in the world was not important to him.

However, it's a bit premature to talk about being the best in the world right now.

He especially remembered that the Demonic Sect had another powerful figure who was already invincible in the world.

It is unknown whether the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian has already broken through the void and left this world.

There is no doubt about the strength of this evil emperor.

That era was the era of the Evil Emperor, the true number one person in the world.

Moreover, the Evil Emperor lived until the Sui Dynasty, and with his strength, breaking through the void would be no problem at all.

However, Xu Qing was unsure whether something had changed; perhaps this person had left, or perhaps they hadn't left at all.

If they haven't left, that would be even more interesting.

Xu Qing had some hope that this evil emperor had not broken through the void and left.

He pursues martial arts, but he also seeks out adversaries.

Having been invincible for two lifetimes, with no rivals to rival, is truly a lonely feeling.

Naturally, he hopes that there will be an opponent in this world that can interest him.

"Your Majesty, did you kill Shi Zhixuan?"

At this moment, Wanwan turned her attention to Shi Zhixuan, who was lying on the ground, motionless, with a weak breath, like a lump of mud.

It looks like it's dead.

"He's still breathing."

Xu Qing snapped out of his reverie and said calmly.

Wanwan was shocked again. She had reduced a Grandmaster to barely a breath!

His Majesty's strength is truly terrifying!
Xu Qing raised his hand, and Shi Zhixuan flew over. He injected a pure and vital energy into Shi Zhixuan's body, keeping him alive, and then tossed Shi Zhixuan to Wanwan.

"Take him with you and continue exploring this treasure trove."

Wanwan used the Heavenly Demon Silk Ribbon to bind Shi Zhixuan and supported him with her true energy, which was not difficult for her.

Seeing Xu Qing walk deeper into the treasure vault, she followed closely behind.

Her gaze kept falling on Shi Zhixuan, the evil king who was the enemy her master dreamed of killing.

But now it's in her hands. At this moment, with just a thought from her, she can make Shi Zhixuan perish on the spot.

To avenge her master's hatred.

But Wanwan did not do that.

His Majesty did not kill Shi Zhixuan, but instead channeled a stream of true energy to keep him alive.

She then understood that His Majesty must intend to subdue Shi Zhixuan.

If she dares to make a move, she might be the one who dies.

At times like these, you can't afford to make a foolish mistake!
As for Master's grudges, let Master worry about them.

We must not anger His Majesty.

Wanwan kept this in mind and never neglected it.

After all, even a Grandmaster almost died at His Majesty's hands; such terrifying strength.

If she were to act recklessly again at this point and anger the other party, that would be extremely foolish.

At this moment, what she should do is try her best to strengthen her connection with His Majesty!

If it weren't for the fact that her Heavenly Demon Technique wasn't yet perfected, Wanwan would have wanted to use her body to take over His Majesty.

Moreover, being able to seduce such a powerful figure was not a loss for her at all.

This is a huge profit!

Thinking this, Wanwan gazed at the tall figure in front of her with her bright, watery eyes, full of allure and affection.

Xu Qing naturally noticed the witch's gaze behind him, as it was indeed too intense.

He had a look on his face that said he wanted to devour him.

"Has this little slut been holding back for too long?"

Xu Qing murmured to himself, shook his head slightly, and remained expressionless, pretending not to have noticed.

The two men, one lying on the corpse, steadily advanced and gradually arrived at the center of Yang Gong's treasure vault.

It was a huge space, filled with piles of gold and silver jewels, shimmering with golden and pearly light, almost illuminating the place.

"Oh my God!"

Wanwan was stunned; she had seen quite a few people with treasures.

But right now there's just too much gold and silver jewelry piled up, it's everywhere, and I can't even count it all.

And this is just one treasure trove; there are several more treasure troves on the other two sides.

It contained descriptions of martial arts manuals and an armory.

Clearly, it was a treasure trove storing martial arts techniques and military equipment.

Gold and silver treasures, martial arts manuals, and armed troops—all of this was practically preparation for a rebellion!

Wanwan couldn't help but swallow hard. Even though she wasn't interested in money, she couldn't help but be tempted at this moment.

Money! With so much money piled up right in front of you, it's hard not to be tempted.

"As expected of a treasure trove that is said to grant the ability to conquer the world, it has not disappointed me."

Even Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh, such a large amount of money was enough to support several major wars between countries.

The pressure on the national treasury can thus be completely resolved.

Xu Qing's reduction of corvée labor and taxes had put great pressure on the Sui Dynasty's finances.

Now, with these resources, plus the savings of the Yin Gui Sect of the Demonic Path and the money plundered from the Buddhist sect, the pressure has been completely relieved, and they have even become much wealthier.

If Xu Qing were to take over the entire Buddhist community, he would never have to worry about finances again.

When the people can live a good life, the dynasty can be more stable.

As for the Buddhist community becoming impoverished, that is how it should be.

Some monks possess vast amounts of wealth, and that is a sin!

How can one be called a Buddha!
To Xu Qing, they were nothing more than a group of pseudo-Buddhists who were driven by selfish desires, not true Buddhas!
