'Pa! '
Gao Yuanhu's palm perfectly blocked Meng Kai's fist, then Gao Yuanhu casually twisted his wrist. Meng Kaishan's hand was broken, and his arm was twisted into a fried dough twist. Broken bones jabbed out of the flesh of his arm like a dense mass of spears. Then the bones flew out of his arms and floated in front of him. It was his own bone, and at this moment he was no longer in charge of it.
Tiny bones floated in the air, like bamboo pieces that had been split open.
"Let's go."
Gao Yuanhu faintly said two words, and then, those bamboo like bones shot out. Blood was spurting out from Meng Kai Shan's back. The bone had been shot out from his chest, and his back was badly mutilated.
Gao Yuanhu released his hand, and Meng Kai's body weakly fell to the ground. He lay on his stomach, and before he died, he seemed to see a flash of light.
Fortunately … He didn't lose face.
Meng Kai Shan closed his eyes and smirked … Father, I did not disappoint you. From the very first day that I became an invisible guard, I had been worried about whether or not I would have the courage to stand in front of Swallow King when he met with danger. Would I have turned around and run? From the age of twenty-eight to the age of fifty-six … Finally, I was relieved. I didn't run.
Nine cultivators with Captive Stage and sixty over Sumeru Stage cultivators had all died in battle.
Gao Yuanhu still had twelve people remaining, most of them were injured.
Outside the East Warm Pavilion stood two elders. They were all wearing the same white daoist robes, which was different from the robes worn by the Daoist cultivators in Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao. The snow-white daoist robes gave them a sage-like appearance, as if they were originally sages that lived on the distant mountains beneath the pine forest to drink tea and play chess.
"Cultivation is not easy."
Gao Yuanhu stopped and said these four words.
The two elders had similar faces. They were probably twin brothers. Both of them could no longer tell the real age. Although their faces showed that they were in their sixties or seventies, they were probably over a hundred years old. Upon reaching the Lower Completion Stage, one's lifespan would increase greatly. There were people who did not seem to be more than thirty years old, but in reality, they were two hundred years old. These two Daoist from the Lower Completion Stage were also invisible guards from the Swallow King.
However, their statuses were much higher, and if their other statuses were known, it would be even more shocking.
One of the Old Taoist looked at Gao Yuanhu and nodded, "It's not easy to cultivate, it's not easy to be a person, and it's even harder for me."
Gao Yuanhu asked: "Can you make way?"
Old Taoist shook his head: "You die, or we die."
Gao Yuanhu acknowledged: "Then you guys will die."
Boom … The one meter high platform outside the East Warm Pavilion suddenly disappeared, leaving a huge crater in the ground. All of a sudden, it was as if the Sky Harmony Palace was built on top of a cliff, and the ground had sunk by at least ten meters.
Two Old Taoist s stood under the deep pit, their clothes were no longer spotless, and their beard and hair were covered in dirt. Their white daoist robes had been torn apart and were hanging on their bodies one by one.
Gao Yuanhu stood on the side of the deep pit and looked around.
The eleven people he had killed all died in a single blow. However, the two Old Taoist s could not hold on any longer. They did not manage to see what had happened, as the situation had already become like this. Not a single one of the eleven Captive Stage experts had left behind a corpse.
"Third stage of the Lower Completion Stage."
Gao Yuanhu took a deep breath, then coughed out a few times as blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"Fortunately, he's a bit lower than me."
He took out a square stamp from his chest pocket and casually threw it out. "I've said it before, cultivation is not easy.
That seal flew up, rose into the air, and then fell down.
It was only the size of a palm, but the expressions of the two Old Taoist s had already changed.
The two of them teamed up. One flew out of his flying sword and the other flew out of his horsetail whisk. The imprint fell, the sword snapped, the horsetail whisk shattered, and the person died.
When the seal fell, the entire palace collapsed, leaving only the East Warm Pavilion in the corner.
Gao Yuanhu strode to the door of the Eastern Warm Pavilion and said with a slight touch of his body, "Please return your majesty to heaven."
Chapter 218 - That Sword Kill Immortals
Gao Yuanhu killed two Old Taoist of the third stage of the Lower Completion Stage alone. This was also the first time he had displayed his true strength in front of outsiders.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Gao Clan could not afford to offend them. However, they felt that the reason they could not afford to offend them was because the Gao Clan had the support of the Imperial Court. Many people had already forgotten that if not for the help of the Old Master from the Gao family, Swallow King might not have been able to conquer this land. There were rumors of the Gao family everywhere in the martial arts world, but most of them had already deviated from the martial arts world.
In the end, the Gao Family was still the overlord of the martial arts world in the State of Yan. To put it more in detail, it should be said that the Gao Family was after all the tyrant in the underworld of the State of Yan. For a clan that dared to lay their hands on a Royal Family, who could say that he was not strong?
The East Warm Pavilion was only a single room. It was a room to the east of the Heaven and Earth Palace.
The Tiantong Palace had three halls in a straight line, and the one in front was the Extreme Heaven Palace of the imperial court. Behind the Extreme Heaven Palace was the Heaven and Earth Palace, the two great halls were separated by a hundred and fifty meters. At this moment, the 150 meter wide open space was filled with corpses. The guards and the assassin were still fighting. At the beginning, the guards' counterattack had thwarted the assassin, but in terms of numbers, the assassin was able to take the initiative once again.
By now, the palace had almost completely collapsed, leaving only the Eastern Warm Pavilion standing alone. The one-meter-tall platform in front of the hall had completely disappeared. What replaced it was a huge crater that was more than ten meters deep. There was a seal at the bottom of the hole, and below the seal were the corpses of two Lower Completion Stage Rankers.
Gao Yuanhu did not dare to easily take back the square stamp. After all, he was an expert of the Lower Completion Stage, and no one dared to confirm whether or not the two Old Taoist s were truly dead.
He strode out of the Eastern Warm Pavilion, possessed and bowed, "Please return your majesty to the heavens."
At the window, Mu Changyan squinted at Gao Yuanhu: "Just you alone?"
Gao Yuanhu stood up straight: "Great King, what else do you have?"
Mu Changyan laughed: "You can try."
Gao Yuanhu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then let this subject try."
He took a step forward, and a frightening black light flashed in his palm.
On the table in front of Mu Changyan, there was a long sword. The scabbard was not gorgeous. There was nothing precious about it. It was just an ordinary wooden scabbard. His hand was at the side of the scabbard, within reach. It was precisely because of this sword sheath that Gao Yuanhu stopped in his tracks. He took a closer look and realized it wasn't a sword at all, but a sheath.
An empty sheath.
But Gao Yuanhu's expression changed, as if he was hesitating on whether he should continue walking forward or not.
"Was that a precious treasure that was used in the past when the previous King set the River Mountain?"
Gao Yuanhu asked.
Mu Changyan laughed: "So you know him too."
Gao Yu
anhu went silent again, as if he was calculating if he could still kill Mu Changyan. After approximately two minutes, Gao Yuanhu took a deep breath, "This subject still wants to try."
Mu Changyan nodded: "You do it."
Gao Yuanhu took another deep breath, and the black light in the center of his palm started to spread. It was no longer possible to tell that it was a person. It was only a mass of black light. The black light moved forward, and the surrounding earth turned black. As they got closer, the East Warm Pavilion, which was already in danger, began to smoke. The wood began to turn black.
Mu Changyan held onto the sword sheath, and moved one centimeter forward.
The black light that was moving forward immediately stopped and couldn't help but take a step back. The black light seemed to have hit an invisible wall and the light in front of it had flattened. It looked extremely strange.
The black light began to sway back and forth, transforming into a black snake that coiled around Gao Yuanhu's body. Gao Yuanhu stared at the sword sheath for another minute, then extended his right hand. The black snake of light slithered from his body to his right arm and bit down. The black snake actually bit a hole through his arm and went inside. Gao Yuanhu cried out, and his right arm instantly turned black.
The clothes on his arms were torn off, and his black arms flashed with dark gold tattoos. But that was not a tattoo at all, it was him concentrating all his Cultivation Power on one arm. He stretched out his right hand and touched the invisible barrier.
"Even if it's an item left behind by the Great Ancestor, it won't be able to stop me from killing you!"
Gao Yuanhu roared, his eyes instantly turning red. The dark golden tattoo on his right hand grew brighter and brighter. With a pah sound, it seemed to have pierced something as his arm charged forward. Inside the Eastern Warm Pavilion, the sword sheath Mu Changyan was holding suddenly tightened. It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed the sword sheath and started to fight with Mu Changyan.
Mu Changyan's expression was especially solemn. He held the sword sheath tightly, then bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the sword sheath. The scabbard suddenly began to emit a red light. Immediately after, a layer of frost began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing the Cultivation Power that could not be seen before. A line had frozen out between Gao Yuanhu and the sword sheath. This was the power of the sword sheath that he and Mu Changyan were fighting over.
He had no idea how the frozen power on the sword sheath could be so powerful, to be able to freeze the invisible Cultivation Power. In the next second, ice covered the back of Gao Yuanhu's right hand. Gao Yuanhu bellowed as the dark golden tattoo on his arm became exceptionally resplendent. The black light moved forward and the frost retreated. But the black light had only flourished for a few seconds before the ice returned from Gao Yuanhu's fingertips.
And this time, the ice was spreading even faster, covering Gao Yuanhu's right arm completely in an instant.
Gao Yuanhu's face became terrifyingly white. He suddenly stretched his left hand backwards, opened all five fingers and then retracted them. The seal that had been suppressing the two Old Taoist's corpses flew out from the bottom of the pit with a swoosh, and quickly flew towards the Eastern Warm Pavilion.
It was a magic tool that could kill two third stage Lower Completion Stage Rankers. Although it was not a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, it could still be considered a peak. The strength of a Magic Tool depended on the strength of the user. Gao Yuanhu's strength was already at least at the fifth stage of the Lower Completion Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill the two Old Taoist s so easily. His seal, combined with his strength, completely displayed the strength that a peak Golden-Rank tool should have.
For example, although An Zheng had the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, he was temporarily unable to unleash the power of the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact.
The seal was flung towards the Eastern Warm Pavilion, not for the sake of killing Mu Changyan, but to protect himself. If he still did not break the power of the sword sheath, Gao Yuanhu knew that he would lose his life here.
"Gu Gu said that you can't do it alone!"
Mu Changyan grabbed the sword sheath and pointed forward, an ice arrow shooting out from the sword sheath.
The ice arrow and the seal met in midair, freezing the seal within seconds. After being struck by the ice arrow, the originally sharp and overbearing seal actually had no ability to resist. With a crack, he fell to the ground.
It looked like two seals the size of a palm, but when it hit the ground, it created two waves of dirt.
Gao Yuanhu groaned.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were no longer determined. He clenched his teeth as he lifted his left hand and chopped down like a knife, forcefully cutting off his right arm from his shoulder.
With a "pa" sound, his right arm fell to the ground, shattering into pieces of ice.
At that moment, two men in black came from the rooftop far away at the same time. One of them used a long blade, while the other used a hook. The golden light that radiated from these two magical equipment showed the grade of the items. The two of them were extremely fast, when Mu Changyan used his sword sheath to shatter the seal, they immediately rushed over. The two of them had flown across the roof of the Grand Hall, but they had arrived outside the East Warm Pavilion in less than a second.
Gao Yuanhu couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he saw the two of them … As expected, he was just cannon fodder. It was just more valuable cannon fodder. Even if he really were to use all of the capital that he had left in Mu Changyan's hands to force himself to die, no one would care about it. The two people who were rushing over were the real killing moves of the Gao Family, and if they were to make a move, Swallow King Mu Changyan would definitely die.
Gao Yuanhu let out a long breath... No matter what, they could at least kill Swallow King.
Although the two might not be stronger than Gao Yuanhu, their timing was perfect. Even if the sword sheath was powerful, after breaking the seal and crippling Gao Yuanhu's right arm, it was already spent. At this moment, the two of them were making their moves. Their calculations were extremely accurate.
With the power of the sword sheath, it shouldn't be a problem to block the attack of one of them. However, no matter what, it couldn't block the killing move of the other person. In this short period of time, Gao Yuanhu even thought that he was not the most pitiful one. Of the two assassins, one of them might die. Using a life in exchange for a life, that was the only way to guarantee a one hit kill.
But at this time, Gao Yuanhu saw Mu Changyan holding onto his sword sheath and striking towards the two people who were pouncing towards him.
No matter how strong the sword sheath was, Mu Changyan's cultivation was not sufficient to be able to unleash the power he previously displayed. Could it be that Mu Changyan didn't know that he was unable to escape this calamity? But why was there no determination in his eyes, even a hint of contempt?
Then, Gao Yuanhu saw the wine banner hanging at the window of the Eastern Warm Pavilion... Why was there a wine flag hanging on the window of the East Warm Pavilion? The Eastern Warm Pavilion was originally the center of power for the great swallow, and it was not a wine shop.
But when Mu Changyan unleashed that slash, Gao Yuanhu knew that he had lost.
A sword intent was drawn out from the flag of wine, Gao Yuanhu was unable to describe how elegant that sword strike was. When he saw that sword appear, he even had the urge to kneel down and kowtow. The waves of coldness in his heart made him even more terrified than when frost covered his right arm. Even if the grade of the sword sheath was higher, he would still dare to try it. But when the sword came out, Gao Yuanhu knew that even if it was him, he could not … Even if he added up all five of them together, he might not be able to stop it.
That sword strike could exterminate Immortals.
Was there a deity in the world?
&n
bsp; Back then, when An Zheng was still in Mount Cang Man, he had borrowed the sword intent on the wine flag to kill the people from the Great Vengeance Hall. At that time, An Zheng was still not able to cultivate, it was already not easy to borrow out the sword intent. At that time, Mu Changyan had been deeply moved, that sword intent could kill immortals … To use it to kill an unpopular character was a bit of a waste. But fortunately, the sword strike that An Zheng had borrowed was not much, as it did not affect the power of the sword intent in any way.
The sword passed by.
The two assassins were cut in half in mid-air, and four corpses fell from the sky. The long blade broke into pieces and curved.
His sword intent surged as it swept out. 150 meters away, the roof of the Grand Desolate Heavenly Temple had been forcibly torn off.
Gao Yuanhu's face turned ashen.
That sword attack was unstoppable.
Gao Yuanhu couldn't think of anyone in the Gao Family who could block that sword strike. As long as the wine flag was there, no one could kill Mu Changyan.
There was a light slap.
A hole opened up in the wine banner, causing Mu Changyan's heart to tighten.
Chapter 219 - Poison
Duan Ren actually knew that he wouldn't be the main character to turn the situation around today. However, he also knew that if he didn't stand firmly on the side of his initial choice, he might not be able to achieve anything in the end. So he killed with all his might, and wanted to make Mu Changyan remember him on such a crucial day like today. He wanted to let Mu Changyan see who was more loyal and outstanding in the end to him compared to the youth called An Zheng.
This thought didn't change until he was surrounded by them.
Hundreds of imperial bodyguards had all fallen, leaving him alone to continue fighting. When he woke up from his state of bloodlust, he found that there was no one by his side.
He was stabbed in the back, the pain irritating his nerves.
He turned around and hacked the assassin to death just in time to see the scene in the East Warm Pavilion.
