Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 342 The Demise of the Turkic Goryeo, Martial Arts Respect as Merit and Reward

Time flew by, and the Sui Dynasty fought on two fronts, but won great victories on both.

Neither the Turkic nor the Goryeo armies could stop the Sui army.

In less than a month, Li Shimin personally led a large army, with the help of Li Yuanba and Xie Wang, and directly captured Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo.

He then directly beheaded the royal family of Goryeo, bringing about the downfall of the dynasty.

Many Korean citizens became slaves, their fates no longer in their own hands.

On the other hand, the situation in the Turkic Khaganate was not much better than in Goryeo, where hundreds of thousands of troops were almost completely annihilated.

With no power to resist, the numerous tribes scattered and fled.

No one dared to stay on the grassland any longer. In order to save their lives, most tribes chose to continue fleeing north.

However, some were unable to escape and were captured by Yuwen Huaji.

News of the great victory spread far and wide, and the strength of the Sui Dynasty began to be known throughout the world.

A nameless hill.

Fu Junyu was devastated upon hearing the news of Goryeo's destruction.

Shuanglong also clenched his fists. Shi Feixuan sighed softly, "The Sui Dynasty is too powerful now, and no one can stop it."

"I'm going to kill the Sui Emperor!" Fu Junyu roared.

Her master and senior sister died, her home was gone, and now Goryeo has been destroyed, and her country is gone too.

This makes it very difficult to remain rational.

"Miss Fu, calm down!" Song Shidao stopped Fu Junyu.

"Uncle-Master, don't let anger cloud your judgment."

Shuanglong was also holding back Fu Junyu.

"Now that the Sui Dynasty is powerful and full of experts, your strength is only enough to send you to your death; you will be of no use whatsoever."

Song Zhi also spoke up.

This group of people gathered together and watched helplessly as the Sui Dynasty gradually grew stronger, yet they were powerless to take revenge.

"Next, you must all endure and hide your resentment, using it as motivation to wait for the right opportunity!"

"Without sufficient strength, there's no way to take revenge!"

Song Zhi said in a deep voice.

Aside from Fu Junyu, who had lost her mind, everyone else understood this principle.

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. You are all young, with unlimited potential and hope. You may very well succeed in the future!"

Song Zhi's words inspired everyone.

Everyone nodded, continued to hide, and diligently practiced their skills in order to reach the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

As time went on, both the Turks and Goryeo were destroyed in this great war.

Yuwen Huaji and Li Shimin returned victorious.

Xu Qing issued a special imperial edict, calling for universal celebration and sharing this joy with the people.

Within the palace.

Wu Zun Bi Xuan met the Sui Emperor who had brought about the downfall of the Turks and Goguryeo.

From a sensory perspective, he couldn't detect any aura emanating from the other party at all; he seemed like an ordinary emperor, with his sharpness concealed.

Xu Qing has already reached the state of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

"I never imagined that my Turkic people would be destroyed by you."

Martial Venerable Bi Xuan spoke, marking the first time the two had spoken since they met.

He had thought that the Turks would have a chance to occupy the Central Plains, after all, just a year ago, the Sui Dynasty was still in a state of turmoil and chaos.

It was never as powerful as it is now.

All of this changed when the man in front of them revealed his strength.

No one could have imagined that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would be so skilled in martial arts that he was invincible.

Before this, the Martial Venerable Bi Xuan had never taken the Sui Emperor seriously.

But things changed very quickly, and everything came to an end under the rule of the Sui Emperor.

"There are many things you can't imagine," Xu Qing said calmly.

"Speak, what do you want from me by sparing my life? I, Bi Xuan, will never serve you!" Martial Venerable Bi Xuan said coldly.

He was filled with anger and murderous intent towards the Sui Emperor and would never submit to him.

"I heard that you once accidentally entered a temple, which led to the creation of the Invincible Grassland's Blazing Sun Technique!" Xu Qing said.

He strongly suspected that the temple Martial Venerable Bi Xuan had entered was the War God Temple within the Jingyan Palace. "You want to find that temple? Heh, do you think I'd tell you?"

Martial Venerable Bi Xuan sneered and said, "Don't even think about it!"

"You're already a prisoner, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, it seems you're not afraid of death." Wanwan moved lightly with her lotus-like steps, her bare feet as white as jade, her skin as white as snow, and spoke coldly.

"Many people are not afraid of death, but for some, death is a liberation. Do you think you can endure the torment of living a life worse than death?"

A cold glint appeared on Wanwan's perfect face, and her eyes were ruthless.

"No matter how much torment I suffer, what do I, Bi Xuan, have to fear!" Bi Xuan said proudly, completely unafraid of the torment Wanwan spoke of.

"What a tough guy. Too bad, do you really think His Majesty can't do anything to you?"

You greatly underestimate His Majesty's power. It doesn't matter if you don't speak up; soon everything you have will belong to His Majesty!

Wanwan also found it boring, gave a cold laugh, and said no more.

"What's the meaning!?"

Martial Venerable Bi Xuan frowned, not understanding Wanwan's words.

But soon, he understood.

Xu Qing had no patience for further words and pulled Bi Xuan into front of him, activating the power of [Merit Fruit].

"My skill... my martial arts! What kind of... technique is this!?"

His voice came out intermittently, and his face was full of terror.

But soon, Martial Venerable Bi Xuan was no longer able to speak.

Everything he had was taken away: his blood, energy, martial arts skills, spirit, and memories were all condensed into a single merit.

Bi Xuan had vanished, leaving only a set of clothes on the ground.

Wanwan's eyelids twitched slightly. No matter how many times she saw it, she still found such methods terrifying.

This strips a person of everything, more like refining a powerful medicine!
Xu Qing directly swallowed the fruit, refining its power while receiving the memories of Martial Venerable Bi Xuan.

Among his vast memories, Xu Qing found images of the temple.

That was indeed the Jingyan Palace.

Unfortunately, the images of the depths of the temple in my mind are very blurry.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that the other party had entered the Temple of War by chance.

After it came out, it could no longer be found.

"As expected, it's not a special passage."

Xu Qing shook his head. It seemed that they still had to wait for the right time for the Temple of War to be born.

"Your Majesty, that is ultimately a legendary place. Bi Xuan was probably just lucky to get in," Wanwan said, stepping forward to comfort Xu Qing after he had made no progress.

Xu Qing nodded slightly; this wasn't entirely without gain.

Martial Venerable Bi Xuan's skill and martial arts prowess are not bad.

In particular, the Blazing Sun Technique is fierce and scorching, capable of condensing the power of flames and unleashing tremendous power.

If this martial art could be further developed and its potential enhanced, it might become a divine-level martial art, giving rise to a fire-based divine power.

However, Xu Qing dismissed the idea, as he currently possessed three supernatural abilities.

They were originally from the ancient sect of the Xiaoyao Sect, which they inherited in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. This divine power was the earliest and the longest cultivated.

He has now reached the seventh level of supernatural powers, but there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the ninth level of perfection.

The other two are Five Elements Gathering and Shattering the Void.

He failed to cultivate the Three Divine Powers to the highest level.

If he were to deduce another supernatural power, he would have to expend a lot more effort.

After some thought, I decided it would be best to incorporate the essence of the Blazing Sun Technique into the Martial Arts Manual.

The supernatural powers I have now are sufficient.

However, he has plenty of time now.

The Turks and Goguryeo have been dealt with, and the Sui Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful, with no rivals left.

Next, all that's left is to wait for the birth of Jingyan Palace.

During this waiting period, Xu Qing can make good use of the various divine skills and martial arts realms he has recently acquired to improve himself.
