Chapter 1189: Last Moment
“As expected from Zhu Zi!”
In the cloud layer 300 miles away, Taihuang held his hands by his back, a look of praise appeared in his eyes.
“”He pretty much went up against the Sword Sect and Common People’s Path formations alone, shaking the foundations of the formation! He truly is the top person behind Xiuguan and Cibei!”
“This Sword Sect Sword Formation doesn’t have an End Realm controlling it, so it is a little weaker. A half of it was used to disrupt Li Biexue’s Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering. It didn’t have much power to protect. Zhu Zi combined the strengths of close to 10,000 Confucians, to shake it isn’t hard.”
Qingxuan shook his head and said, “That Fuling Sword, if it was in the hands of an End Realm, the situation today will be much different. It should even be stronger than the Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation.”
“Cultivator Cibei specially helped the Sword Sect find this weapon, so naturally, it is really amazing. Unfortunately, although he tried his best to nurture them for 7,000 years, the 7 sects of the Sword Sect aren’t strong enough. Only the Sword Sect Head might enter End Realm within 100 years.”
Taihuang nodded his head and recognized what Qingxuan said. He laughed, “Actually, I am really curious, what happened in the Fenghua Palace? Li Biexue placed out the Nine Heaven Ten Earth Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation not just to trap Zong Shou but it was also to target us! What is he thinking? Is he really confident in tossing us aside to handle the many Common People’s Path Saint Venerables on their own? Or does he have any other things that he needs to hide?”
Since Zhu Zi attacked and shook the Sword Sect’s formation, Li Biexue was able to use his excess strength to block off the entire palace.
Even people who were as strong as the two of them couldn’t see what was going on within.
“He is trying to hide something!”
Qingxuan scoffed coldly, filled with anger and disdain.
Qingming was silent behind and she didn’t say a word. Li Biexue probably predicted that even if he lost, the two of them wouldn’t do anything and see him get killed which was why he was so unrestrained…
At this moment, when the Confucian, Taoist and Demon Path worked together, they were able to balance out with the Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction, maintaining balance.
However, once Li Biexue died and was suppressed by them, then the Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction would definitely face more pressure.
She got slightly more curious. What was Li Biexue trying to hide? That he took the risk and tossed aside these two ancestors?
She felt something and looked towards the Imperial City. Her eyes lit up.
“Wei Xu and Yuanjing has entered…”
She was originally unable to sense the aura of the two End Realm. However, the moment the two of them smashed into the formation, the energy change revealed their tracks.
Not only the two of them, at east and west there were still spiritual energy fluctuations no lower than the front two which occured at the same time.
“The one in the east should be the Common People Path God Venerable, Taiyi Emperor Lord. The other is Xufu?”
Qingming’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion. She didn’t expect that Xufu who had left the Cloud World and headed to Penglai World would actually join in.
And that he joined Zong Shou’s side…
It was said that this person could weigh pros and cons and during the Qin Era he used the excuse of finding immortality medicine to leave the Cloud World and avoid death.
What was the reason why this top person in ancient times joined into this dangerous battle?
She felt slightly uneasy. However, she noticed that Taihuang and Qingxuan were still really calm.
“This person interfering is really surprising. Does he eye Aokun’s Existence and Destruction Technique?”
“This probably is the only way to break the Qin Emperor soul restriction. However, Aokun isn’t End Realm, so it is not possible! With his knowledge, he should know about that.”
Qingxuan sighed, “This battle has been weird from start to finish. To date, I still can’t understand it…”
“That is indeed the case. Also, Xiuguan is still nowhere to be seen! Who knows where he is hiding? However, since Wei Xu and Yuanjing have acted, then it is time for the outcome of the battle to be decided!”
Taihuang smiled, his eyes sharp as a knife, “Senior Brother, what do you think?”
Qingxuan laughed when he heard that, “Since Xiuguan isn’t appearing, then let’s force him to appear. If he doesn’t act and wait more, it will really be too late. One must know that Li Biexue probably still has a plan. To wait quietly isn’t a way. However…”
He paused and he looked towards the Imperial City once more.
“I think Yinyu is about to use the twelve Copper Men.”
※※※※
Within the palace, along with the four strong auras smashing in from four directions, several breaches were torn open from the blood cloud in the sky.
Zong Shou’s pent up frustration was instantly reduced. Once again those balls of Spirit Slaughtering God Light were pulled out from his Soul Ocean.
However, Li Biexue didn’t want to give him any chance to breathe at all.
That giant hand didn’t work before that, so he flashed forwards in front of Zong Shou. He opened his arm and grabbed over.
Zong Shou’s eyes squinted. His body retreated in a really mysterious and exquisite path, not caring about anything.
Li Biexue’s law was a Grade Twelve technique known as the Empty Essence Illusionary Soul Technique.
Based on what Xiuguan evaluated it, if he was able to make things appear from nothingness, at the same time, if he grasped the Present and Absent Daos, he would be able to step into half a step True Realm. This ability would also reach the Supreme Realm. One could even go from the technique to form a God Technique.
One could see that this person’s potential was no weaker than Zhu Zi.
Li Biexue’s ability could cause everything it touched, no matter what it was, to forcefully transform into nothingness.
That was the case. The Heaven and Earth Tribulation Strength that Zong Shou used the Common Life Sword Formation to borrow over was dissipated easily by Li Biexue.
Zong Shou knew that as long as that hand got three feet near to him, his body would be turned to nothing.
Without hesitating, the second Life and Death Cereus opened out. It was filled with Life Essence Power. Zong Shou used it to recover and then turn from Life to Death, Death Energy surged out and he stabbed out once more.
With a “Dang”, the tip of the One Origin Soul Sword rang out like he stabbed metal.
It directly broke the indiscernible power and stabbed over.
Even Wushang Yuan Demon had to treat it seriously. His palm turned into a fist and struck onto his One Origin Soul Sword.
Death Power surged out. Li Biexue didn’t move, the area around him opened like the Death Gate and large amounts of Death Power surged out.
Li Biexue’s right hand totally turned grey white at that moment.
His entire right hand below the wrist was killed by Zog Shou’s Styx River Death Sword.
The previous sword only contained the remaining power left which was why he only injured one finger.
At this moment, he used the full power of an entire Life and Death Cereus, gathering it in that sword.
Which was why the injury caused increased by 10 times! It affected Li Biexue’s entire wrist.
At this moment, Zong Shou was 10,000 feet out. He was slightly better than the previous strike. He still bled from all holes and he looked to be in a tragic state.
However, he didn’t look pained at all. Instead, he laughed.
Energy surged behind him. It was one of the few Saint Realm experts who was tempted to surround him seeing that he was injured.
Without hesitation, another three silver knives flew out from his sleeves.
Instantly, one person had his brow pierced.
He had used up all of his Zimu Falling Leaf Knives. What he used now was the top grade Magical Artifact flying knives that he nurtured for four days which was why he had to use three strikes to kill that person!
The moment he died, the other people stopped moving.
Zong Shou stood up once more and looked about proudly.
It was done! His soul power truly entered the core of the twelve Copper Men.
He just needed 10-20 breaths to complete the seal.
Now, he could use the seal to control the twelve of them.
However, it didn’t ensure that Yinyu could use the Qin Emperor True Spirit to fight with him for it.
A bit of soul power and the seal might not beat Yinyu but it gave him a lot of time to react and adapt.
An incomplete Copper Men couldn’t suppress Li Biexue and alert him.
Li Biexue calmly looked at his left hand and then he scoffed coldly, not caring much at all.
That Supreme Sword Technique was really amazing, neglecting Realm. However, that was just it. It couldn’t harm his foundations.
He stopped attacking Zong Shou because a wave of Magnetism Power had covered him.
The strong repulsion laid out in front of Zong Shou and locked onto where Li Biexue struck from.
Out of the four End Realm, Xufu was the last to attack. However, his attacks came first.
Apart from repelling, Magnetism Power ripped towards Li Biexue. There was also 10,000 times gravity which made him feel like his body was sinking.
A grey sword shadow sped from the air. It struck towards Yinyu, where Li Biexue had to protect!
That sword gathered large amounts of Death Power, no different from Zong Shou’s previous sword…
Li Biexue had a weird expression on his face. He didn’t hesitate to dash back to the reading room.
Zong Shou also had a weird expression on his face.
Styx River Death Sword! Be it power or quality, rhythm, sword trajectory, it was the same as his. Like his mirror but even stronger…
Zong Shou understood right away that it was Wei Xu. The Mirror Technique completely replicated his Styx River Death Sword…
