I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Mingxian chuckled softly, and said with a sigh, "On the contrary, I think the Empress is the prey, just like the wild boars I killed before."

"Indeed, judging from your behavior, you seem more like a hunter than a soldier or warrior. Have you ever hunted before?"

My grandfather, who raised me, was a hunter.

"It seems he has cultivated your patience and decisiveness."

"Perhaps, but I've never used a hunting rifle."

Mingxian shrugged and couldn't help but complain, "With the changing times, hunters have no jobs anymore."

"We can't shoot this, we can't shoot that. We finally got some official wild boar hunting jobs, but we can't use hunting rifles or traps."

"They say it's for gun control, but traps could easily injure people."

"In the end, we had to use drones to throw darts, which killed the wild boar in a short time."

The hunter's methods should not be limited to specific techniques; as long as the opponent can be killed, that's enough.

Despite the relentless pursuit that spanned countless worlds, Mingxian remained remarkably patient.

Similarly, as long as you have a weapon that can kill your prey, you can hunt, and the same applies to your opponent.

Investigation, probing, planning, thinking...

Preparations before the hunt.

Victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.

As the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's gaze shifted, countless pages emerged from behind her, transforming into paper soldiers that ignored everything else, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, vast and boundless, rushing straight towards the zither.

"Transform!"

With a clear whistle, [Thousand Body Scorching Star] was activated. In an instant, flesh and blood were reshaped into crimson steel, and clothing was transformed into dazzling armor. The crimson armor was like fire, burning into glass-like crimson steel. The whole body was immediately enveloped in raging flames, as if it were in purgatory.

Sic Subpolar Gyro - Combustion Mode.

With a single punch, a trail of flames shot out, and the power of the comet surged to its peak in an instant.

The paper soldiers formed from the pages of the book were instantly ignited by this fierce attack, turning into ashes that scattered into the void.

boom!

With a powerful leap, Mingxian shot through the air like an arrow, his body slicing through the sky with unparalleled speed, heading straight for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on the throne.

A wave of heat hit us in the face, as if it were the ultimate collision between heaven and earth.

A punch landed heavily, causing the space to tremble.

Clang!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not rise; she simply raised her sword, its light flashing like a cold star, and precisely blocked the punch.

The interplay of sword light and fist shadows resembled the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

That punch was too fast.

Before the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could even get up, she was slammed back onto the throne by this punch.

“Sit in front of people and show off your divine power, but there will be a price to pay!”

"What a stingy man."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden laughed and cursed, then gripped the ground with both feet, trying to get up and fight back.

Fighting while seated is extremely disadvantageous unless you're in a movable wheelchair.

Mingxian had no intention of giving her any chance to catch her breath.

He lightly clenched his fists, and Mingxian's body relaxed like a spring, then swiftly fired, before quickly retracting his hands.

That's a jab!

The jab is not as destructive as the straight punch or uppercut, but it has unparalleled speed.

Boom boom boom!

The speed of Mingxian's jab was simply astonishing.

Even its afterimage could not be seen; one could only feel the iron fist, imbued with the power of a comet, pressing down on the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on the throne like a wall.

It fell like a meteor shower.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden swung her divine sword repeatedly, managing to block all the punches.

He was still sitting on the throne, but his footwork was no longer coordinated.

This martial art is simply unbelievable.

Wow!

Countless paper soldiers fell like a tide, wielding weapons and burning with the fires of the underworld. The flames were like messengers from hell, carrying endless majesty and cruelty, and flew majestically toward Mingxian.

At the same time, countless paper-mache mythical beasts, each with a different shape, some resembling dragons soaring through the heavens and others like phoenixes dancing in the sky, also gathered into an army, emitting deafening roars as they surged toward Mingxian.

All of this was done to bring him down from the throne!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's delicate body had already taken many punches. Her graceful figure was being beaten by iron fists filled with the power of comets, making people wonder if she would be reduced to dust.

The purpose of the paper soldiers is, of course, to stop this violence.

Clang!

At this critical moment, a deep blue weapon flew out from Mingxian's body, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, and appeared above his head.

The Storm Halberd instantly transformed into a double-headed naginata, spinning in the air and creating a whirlwind like an electric fan.

The wind was so fierce that it seemed to blow everything in the world away.

Divine power emerged naturally; it was the unique [Void Chasing the Mist] divine power of Mingxian, complementing the [Storm Halberd] and blowing out a spiritual wind.

The wind, both gentle and sharp, lightly brushed against the paper soldiers' bodies burning with underworld fire, instantly extinguishing the flames.

All the paper soldiers were blown away by this magical wind, like autumn leaves being swept away, turning into ashes that drifted away with the wind.

"Humph!"

Taking advantage of the dispersed magical power, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden kicked Mingxian in the groin.

The force was so great that it sent him flying.

quack----

The friction of his feet against the floor left two charred marks.

Mingxian steadied himself and looked up in surprise.

"How is she still alive?!"

After taking so many punches, it would be normal for her body to be blasted into dust, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden acted as if nothing had happened, slowly getting up and raising the divine sword in her hand.

Golden eyes lit up.

Insight.

"Xuanpin."

The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of heaven and earth. It exists continuously and inexhaustibly, and its use is effortless.

Xuan refers to rotation and change, and Pin refers to the female reproductive organs.

In ancient times, science was underdeveloped, and people's thinking was very limited. They could not give a scientific explanation for women's ability to give birth. They only looked at the surface of things and were full of worship or even fear of women's fertility.

This is the worship of the mother goddess.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's endurance and recovery ability reached an inexplicable level.

The power to increase durability and resilience...

That certainly exists.

It's like the "camel," an embodiment of Vereslana.

But the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is already a "blood-locking" character!

"This sword is perfect for killing you."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, wielding a divine sword that shimmered with an eerie light, danced gracefully beneath the heavens.

The dance moves were not like the playful antics of the mortal world, but rather like celestial music fallen from the heavens. Every turn and leap carried the rhythm of the art of divination, turning the battle into a dazzling and mesmerizing dance.

Her long sleeves, like clouds, fluttered as if carrying wind and rain.

It was neither a battle nor a game.

Since ancient times, dance has been closely related to sacrificial rites.

A perfect fusion of dance and martial arts to please the God of War!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden uses "dance" as her blade, transforming her inner desire for battle into invisible sword shadows.

Sometimes light and graceful, like falling petals on flowing water.

Sometimes it is as wild and unrestrained as a thunderclap.

His swordplay was unrestrained and spontaneous, each strike a natural masterpiece, without a trace of superfluity or hesitation.

Wherever the sword tip went, the air seemed to be cleaved, releasing a chilling killing intent, yet it vanished in an instant, as ethereal and unpredictable as a dream.

Just as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's sword dance came like a sudden storm, Mingxian remained unchanged in the face of all changes, throwing a punch that carried a terrifying power capable of shaking mountains and rivers and changing the color of the heavens and earth.

The nine sharp sword lights that came from different directions were all dissolved into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"Pretty good martial arts."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden moved gracefully backward with light lotus steps, her divine sword pointing directly at the resounding zither.

His voice was clear, cold, and majestic, like celestial music from the heavens, traversing the mortal world and striking straight to the heart.

"The sword of the Human Emperor, the sword of the Dragon Emperor, gathers all the enemy's weapons, whether they are giant blades forged from cold iron or dazzling lightsabers!"

On one side of the sword are engraved the sun, moon and stars, as if it can absorb the essence of the universe; on the other side are imprinted mountains, rivers and plants, as if it can contain the spirit of the earth.

On one side of the sword hilt are inscribed the techniques of farming and animal husbandry, the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients; on the other side are recorded the strategy for unifying the world, the blueprint for a king's hegemony.

As the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden gave a soft shout, the divine sword immediately emitted a crimson light.

Fists formed from the power of comets suddenly flew out, like a crimson wall, and crashed directly into Mingxian.
