Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Within five meters, there was not only the Yitian Sword, but also the utterly horrified Miejue, whose Longquan Sword had been shattered into pieces.

Originally, after the Dragon Elephant Skill and the Nine Yang Divine Skill were combined, Lin Yaoxie was able to comprehend the method of altering the force of space.

Furthermore, because he had just learned the complete set of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth with Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao in the secret room, his control over his strength was now superb.

Chapter 166: Divine Skill [Fourth Update]

Heaven and earth shifted, the universe changed hands. A scene that should have appeared in mythology was unleashed by Lin Yaoxie.

Extinction was already in despair. No one knew better than Extinction how sharp the Heaven Sword was.

The Heaven Sword was able to shatter her Longquan Sword with a single strike, and the skin on her neck could already feel the piercing cold of the Heaven Sword.

"I'm sorry, Master Wushuang, I've disgraced you." Miejue felt ashamed. "However, to die under the Heaven-Slaying Sword is the same as having my skills taken back by Master Lin. I am grateful."

Miejue was ready to die and even intended to close her eyes. But the Heaven-Slaying Sword arrived too quickly, giving her no chance to close her eyes.

Extinction awaited the moment when her throat would be pierced; she was even mentally preparing how to repent to the Peerless Ancestor after her death.

Miejue watched helplessly as the tip of the Heaven-Slaying Sword disappeared beneath her chin.

The tip of the sword even seemed to have pierced the skin on his neck, sending a sharp pain through him.

But at that moment, Extinction sensed a change in her surroundings. Her body, which had been lunging forward, seemed to be moving backward. The sword tip, which had already penetrated her skin, showed signs of being pulled out.

Unable to look down, he couldn't see the sword tip from the perspective of the Extinction Realm, but he could see the sword hilt about a meter in front of his body.

For a moment, I felt disoriented, and the world before my eyes seemed unreal.

A moment later, the hilt of the sword suddenly changed into the tip of the sword, and there was blood on the tip of the sword. Could it be the blood of Extinction?

Apart from Lin Yaoxie, no one else could see the changes in the situation clearly, not even Miejue, one of the parties involved.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword, which was moving at great speed, collided with the neck of the charging Extinction Sword. In an instant, Extinction Sword's body fell backward, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword not only flew backward as well, but its tip turned into its hilt, and its hilt turned into its tip.

This was definitely not because the Heaven-Slaying Sword had rotated 180 degrees; it was a direct change.

Yes, only the word 'change' can perfectly describe the changes of the Heaven Sword.

It's not about moving up, down, left, or right, but rather about jumping through space.

After mastering the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, one can also change the position of an object's head and tail in an instant. But it is definitely not as fast as the change just now.

This change is the same as when Lin Yaoxie crippled Guo Jing's martial arts and absorbed his true energy a hundred years ago. Both are supreme divine techniques that do not belong to this space.

If Lin Yaoxie hadn't perfectly combined the Long Elephant Prajna Skill, the Nine Yang Manual, and the Great Shift of the Universe, it would have been impossible for him to create such a miraculous skill that broke through the world's upper limit.

From its departure to its return, the Heaven-Slaying Sword's tip remained in Lin Yaoxie's hand, its entire blade trembling precariously.

Extinction had leaped back more than ten meters from its advance to its retreat, standing there blankly, not understanding what had just happened.

Just then, Zhou Zhiruo from the Emei camp rushed to Miejue's side like a whirlwind: "Master, are you alright?"

It wasn't until this moment that Miejue came to her senses. She rubbed her neck and looked up at her palm, which was covered in blood.

"Master, you're injured!" Zhou Zhiruo screamed.

When Miejue waved her hand, wiping the blood from her palm, she also stopped Zhou Zhiruo's screams.

She raised her head and stared intently at Lin Yaoxie, who was about twenty meters away.

His eyes darted around, his body trembled, and his lips moved. He wanted to say something or ask something, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin or where to start.

Lin Yaoxie spoke first: "Little Extinction, I have heard of you for a long time, but I have never met you. That person told me that you are the most rare little genius in the Emei Sect. If you are given time to develop, you will surely become a grandmaster."

Lin Yaoxie's voice was not quiet; everyone from the six major sects present heard it.

Many people wanted to laugh, but no one dared to. A young man in white calling a nun in her fifties "Little Extinction" was a joke in itself.

However, since the person being laughed at was Abbess Miejue, who dared to laugh? You see, in the martial arts world, you can offend Shaolin and Wudang, because these sects are magnanimous and generally won't hold grudges against juniors.

You can also offend the Ming Cult and the imperial court, because these two forces have changed too much in recent years and are both trying to build a harmonious ecosystem.

You can offend anyone, but the only two you can't offend are the Ancient Tomb and Emei.

Offending the ancient tomb has far too severe consequences; two hundred thousand people have been reduced to ants. Although there are still countless ants in this world, no one wants to be another guinea pig to be tested.

Then, the sect you absolutely cannot offend is Emei. A major reason for this is that the leader of Emei is extremely vengeful. Although they claim to be a prestigious and righteous sect, their actions always reveal a certain demonic nature.

Extinction was ridiculed, so no one dared to laugh.

However, everyone was also eager to see how Miejue would deal with the younger generation who had provoked her.

They weren't wrong to think that way, because in the blink of an eye, not only the onlookers, but even one of the parties involved, Extinction, hadn't noticed the sudden turn of events.

Everyone waited, and the disciples of the Emei Sect were filled with righteous indignation, each of them placing their hands on the hilt of their swords.

Even Zhou Zhiruo glared at Lin Yaoxie with a fierce look in her eyes, her anger seeming to want to burn the white-clad man in front of her to ashes.

Lin Yaoxie, who was holding the sword blade, was also waiting, wanting to see how Miejue would react to him.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Yaoxie's gaze was drawn to Zhou Zhiruo, who stood gracefully beside Miejue, her eyes cold and frosty.

He almost forgot that in the world of Condor Heroes, if Zhou Zhiruo could not be considered the female lead, then Zhao Min could not be considered the second female lead either.

The original novel and the TV series are different. In the TV series, Zhao Min monopolizes Zhang Wuji.

In the original novel, however, Zhang Wuji went on a romantic trip with Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo.

In terms of screen time and impact on the overall plot, Zhou Zhiruo's role is no less significant than Zhao Min's.

Lin Yaoxie laughed; he really had reason to laugh.

I never expected to have such a great harvest this time. Not only did I successfully collect Xiao Zhao and Yang Buhui, but I also got the unexpected surprise of Zhou Zhiruo.

Chapter 167: Extinction Kneels in Worship [First Update]

The air froze; everyone awaited Abbess Miejue's reaction. If she made any move, the six major sects would swarm in and attack Lin Yaoxie.

Putting everything else aside, the Heaven-Slaying Sword he held in his hand, and the miraculous method by which he forced Abbess Miejue to retreat, were things that no one present could accomplish.

However, Lin Yaoxie's gaze was fixed on Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo, who was able to stand up to Lin Yaoxie at the beginning, is now avoiding him; she simply can't withstand his gaze.

Finally, Abbess Miejue's shoulders twitched slightly.

But her next move surprised everyone.

Extinction kneels on both knees, raises both hands above the head, and then prostrates on the ground. This is the most accomplished Buddhist prostration.

Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Zhiruo took a step back in surprise. She then tried to help her master up, but Miejue's next words made her freeze in place.

"Grand-disciple Miejue pays respects to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, wishing His Majesty a long life of a hundred million years." Miejue's voice was extremely devout.

Lin Yaoxie accepted it calmly, tossing the Yitian Sword around a few times in the air before heading straight for the crawling Extinction Thorn.

Extinction did not dodge, but it startled the others, who gasped in surprise.

It was a close call, a close call indeed. The Heaven-Slaying Sword was just an inch away from Extinction's head. Had it been even slightly off, Extinction's still somewhat elegant bald head would have been pierced right through it.

"You are not my grand-disciple, so there is no need for you to perform such a grand ceremony with me." Lin Yaoxie replied indifferently, as if everything was a matter of course: "This Yitian Sword was originally a gift I gave to your Emei Sect. You should keep it safe and not let it be stolen again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Miejue kowtowed again before getting up from the ground.

After respectfully putting away the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he remained kneeling on the ground: "Little Extinction is useless. Not only did he fail to protect the Heaven-Slaying Sword, but he also caused His Majesty to be exhausted. I don't know, I don't know if Grandmaster is alright."

Lin Yaoxie waved his hand: "Wushuang? She's perfectly fine. If you were to meet now, it would be presumptuous of her to have her as your disciple."

Extinction was filled with fear: "Your Majesty, you must not say that. This is too much for me. Knowing that my master is well, I am relieved. My master has a secret to preserving his youth. Since I can remember, his appearance has never changed. In fact, he looks younger every day. I really hope to see him again and behold his beautiful face. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"Getting younger every day?" Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but stroke her beautiful face and said in a very low voice, "Is there really a way to stay young forever?"

"Of course I will." Lin Yao grinned wickedly. "As long as you follow me, I will naturally teach you this method, Zhiruo."

Zhou Zhiruo blushed, not from embarrassment but from anger. From childhood, Zhou Zhiruo had always maintained a high level of self-respect, and living in the domineering environment of Emei, no one had ever dared to defy her. Therefore, after being provoked by Lin Yaoxie, she was overcome with rage and drew her sword, ready to fight to the death.

"Zhiruo, don't be so presumptuous! Quickly kneel down and pay your respects to His Majesty the Demon Emperor!" Abbess Miejue shouted.

He then turned to the many Emei disciples who were standing there dumbfounded and said, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you recognize that His Majesty the Demon Emperor has come to Bright Peak? And that he helped us retrieve the Heaven-Reliant Sword? Why aren't you kneeling down right now?"

Of the core members of the Emei Mountain disciples who came to Bright Peak this time, apart from Zhou Zhiruo, the rest were all over thirty years old.

These disciples had joined the sect very early and had long heard of the deeds of the sect's founder, Lu Wushuang, and the demonic Lin Yaoxie. However, like many people in the secular world, they thought the stories of the demonic Lin Yaoxie were too shocking and unbelievable. Therefore, they didn't take them too seriously, assuming they were just rumors.

But today, seeing their master, who always held himself in such high esteem, bowing respectfully to the white-robed youth, and witnessing firsthand that the white-robed youth had indeed returned the Heaven-Slaying Sword to Extinction, even if they still didn't believe it, they knew how to express it.

Master is already sprawled on the ground, what difference do they make?

Apart from Zhou Zhiruo, who was still blushing and holding her sword, all the remaining Emei disciples knelt down: "Great-grand-disciple of Emei pays respects to His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

"Zhiruo, why aren't you kneeling down?" Abbess Miejue shouted again.

Miejue is over fifty years old this year, while Lu Wushuang disappeared more than forty years ago.

In other words, when Wushuang and Lin Yaoxie were living in seclusion in the ancient tomb, Miejue was already around ten years old and had very deep memories.

Extinction didn't know just how powerful the demons and monsters in the Demon Emperor's Forest were. But Extinction would never forget how powerful the Peerless Ancestor was, or how powerful the Black Dragon Ancestor who guarded the foot of the mountain was.

The other disciples were unaware of the relationship between Lu Wushuang and the Black Dragon and the demons of the forest, but Miejue knew it all.

Ultimately, the Peerless Ancestor served the Demon Emperor alongside many legendary women, while the Black Dragon Masters even addressed the Demon Emperor as their master. The Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie's level, even just by calculation, was extremely terrifying.

Zhou Zhiruo was outstanding in Miejue's eyes, but no matter how outstanding she was, she couldn't be compared to the Peerless Ancestor. Even the Ancestor was dealt with by the Demon Emperor, let alone a mere grand-disciple like you.

"Master, is he really the Demon Emperor? Or is he an imposter?" Zhou Zhiruo hesitated to kneel, still resentful about Lin Yaoxie's lewd behavior towards her.

"You unfilial disciple, are you trying to anger your master to death?" Miejue was furious, but in fact she was very worried about Zhou Zhiruo.

The fact that Lin Yaoxie massacred the Five Greats in Lin'an a hundred years ago was so shocking that even Miejue thought Lin Yaoxie was a capricious person.

She believed that although Lin Yaoxie was surrounded by beautiful women, a person of such capricious temperament could very well ruthlessly destroy them. If he caused the Demon Emperor to lose face and become enraged, he might very well kill Zhou Zhiruo and then take his anger out on the Emei Sect.

Even with the intervention of the peerless patriarch, the future prospects of Emei are still worrying.

Therefore, Miejue used a very strong tone when speaking to Zhou Zhiruo, which was something that had never happened before.

"Master!" Zhou Zhiruo's eyes reddened, and she could only slowly bend her knees.

Chapter 168: Fabrication and Nonsense [Second Update]

A man's knees are worth gold; he only kneels to Heaven and his parents.
