Seeing that these four fellows who were scared out of their wits would not be able to recover anytime soon, Yun Yang began to check on his gains from this trip to the Thousand Feet Lake.
He did not feel any special changes when the Divine Water Essence entered his body. Perhaps when these four fellows leave, I'll try it in the water and know the benefits of this thing. After all, it was the essence of water and had its own foundation. The real benefits might not be immediate …
…
It was dusk on this day.
A few major events had happened in Tiantang City.
A man in green appeared at the entrance of Cirrus House as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
Yun Zuiyue seemed to have sensed it and rushed out to take a look. She could not help calling out in delight, "Brother Ling!"
This cry silenced the entire Cirrus House in an instant.
Who was this person who could make Yun Zuiyue call him Brother Ling?
Was there even a need to ask?
The universally acknowledged Unrivaled Expert, a living legend, Ling Xiaozui!
"Yue 'er." Ling Xiaozui walked into Cirrus House with a smile. His otherworldly aura made those who saw him lower their heads automatically.
With a sweep of his gaze, a formless pressure overwhelmed the entire Tiantang City.
Watching Yun Zuiyue happily bring Ling Xiaozui upstairs, the people below began to whisper to each other.
"Ling Xiaozui is here! He's really here! "
"So the legend is true. Ling Xiaozui is really Landlord Yun's big brother!"
"Oh my god!"
"This must be the reinforcement Yun Zuiyue has called for."
"Of course, if I were to be bullied like that, I'd call for help too …"
"She's doing her business here but she's being forced to marry and become a concubine. How can Yun Zuiyue not think of a way to save herself? If I had such a backing, I would've moved out long ago … "
"It's all good now. How did those people force Yun Zuiyue back then? Now that her backing is here, there's a good show to watch …"
"Retribution! This is the legendary retribution! "
"Yes, it's not that the time hasn't come yet. Now that the time has come, it must be done!"
"Maybe Ling Xiaozui has received the news and flown here to help. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a high-profile appearance!"
"Hmm, that makes sense."
"But since he has appeared in such a high-profile manner, then those who bullied Yun Zuiyue back then will definitely be in trouble."
"Let's wait and see!"
"I didn't expect to come to the Cirrus House today. To be able to see the world's number one expert, a legend of the world. Coming here today is so worth it …"
"My heart is still pounding …" Ye Zichen sighed.
…
After more than an hour, when Yun Zuiyue reappeared in the hall, the way everyone looked at her was different. If one were to say that they were condescending and covetous before, they were now filled with reverence and fawning.
Ling Xiaozui had indeed been paying attention to this place.
After a while.
Boom! A loud explosion shook everyone.
A clear and melodious voice said in a clear voice, "The tiny Myriad Treasure Tower actually dares to bully my sworn sister. I also don't know who gave you guys such an outrageous courage, stirring up trouble in front of me! What's the point of keeping this broken building? What's the point of destroying it? Tell the Myriad Treasure Tower Lord, give me an explanation in the pugilistic world! From now on, the Myriad Treasure Tower is not allowed to exist in Tiantang City! "
The voice was neither fast nor slow, there was no hint of anger in it, but the sense of eeriness invaded everyone's heart at the same time.
Indeed, this god had really come to stand up for Yun Zuiyue!
The entire building where the Myriad Treasure Tower was originally located was actually split in the middle.
Half of it was slanted to the left while the other half was slanted to the right. In the middle, there was only a crack from top to bottom, from width to width. The top was about two feet wide and there was only a slit at the bottom.
It was extremely smooth.
Obviously, this crack had been split open by a sword!
Everyone in the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower was currently standing on the streets outside with pale faces. They were still shivering all over. A few of them were already drenched in sweat.
They were working in the building and then the building split open … It was like a nightmare.
Some of them were still in a trance, still thinking about the scene they had seen. Suddenly, a green silhouette flew up into the sky. Just as they were wondering what this fellow was doing, they saw a sword light that was like a waterfall, descending from the sky like the Milky Way!
Then, two people who were chatting face to face saw each other inexplicably move a foot away from them.
Looking down, both of them were standing on the edge of the cliff that was cut by a knife.
This feeling … was simply … a buzzing sound, the hairs on their heads stood up!
It was too terrifying!
Too frightening!
A moment later.
The green silhouette descended above the imperial city and asked leisurely, "Where is Mi Kongqun?"
In the palace, Eunuch Mi was scared out of his wits, hiding in his room without making a sound. Although he had an extraordinary cultivation base, how could he dare go against the legend of this world?
As a member of the Four Seasons Tower, he knew very well how terrifying Ling Xiaozui was. The Four Seasons Tower had long set an iron rule that one should never provoke Ling Xiaozui. If one were to violate the rule, death was death. The Four Seasons Tower would not make arrangements for one's funeral nor would it seek revenge. Mi Kongqun was praying in his heart, praying to the gods and Buddhas that he would hide in his room, hoping that Ling Xiaozui would be wary of Yutang's royalty and not threaten him with his life!
However, with a loud boom, the walls of the room where Mi Kongqun was hiding disappeared while the roof above his head flew far away.
It flew out for who knew how far, just like a huge umbrella.
A clear voice spoke, "Keeper Mi is very cunning. Come, come, come, eat my sword! "
Mi Kongqun fled like a flash of lightning, not even turning his head back as he cried out, "It's none of my business …"
Instead, he felt a piercing sword energy coming at him from behind.
Mi Kongqun cried out, twisting his body with all his might and somersaulting into the air. Only then was he thankful that he had survived the legendary sword of the mortal world. However, he felt a chill on his shoulder as a transparent hole appeared at the icy spot. His mystical Qi was frozen at once. With a cry, he fell from the air.
He landed face first on the ground, splashing flowers everywhere with a loud thud.
"I'll spare your life this time." The clear voice in the air said, "Be careful of your wretched life if there's a next time!"
The silhouette in green floated up as the clear voice spoke slowly, "Your Majesty of Yutang, please do not be angry. Ling Xiaozui has no intention of going against the royalty this time. I only seek justice. Now that justice has been served, the grudge has been settled. I bid farewell here and wish the Empire of Yutang a prosperous future."
The voice faded away.
His Majesty's voice came again, "It's alright. Since Master Ling is here, why not come down and have a cup of tea?"
"I shall disturb you if we are fated to. Take care, Your Majesty. "Ling Xiaozui's voice was already far away.
The next moment …
A sudden clap of thunder shook the entire Tiantang City. Ling Xiaozui's voice rang from another direction, "He Hanqing!"
Then, a loud explosion followed.
What followed was a dazzling radiance and a series of densely packed collisions that sounded like a series of cannons.
In the next moment, a cloud of black air soared into the sky and spread across the horizon. It seemed to grow in intensity, but the majestic sword light grew brighter and more intense. The black air gradually could not hold on any longer and crumbled.
A moment later, the black air in the sky dissipated and the haze was gone. As for the boundless sword light, it was as if a layer of light had been embedded in the sky, illuminating the masses and the world.
A long howl rang in the air, "He Hanqing, I'll spare your life considering that you're an old official of three dynasties and that you've been kind to the people in the past. However, you must know that the heavens are watching what you've done. There will naturally be someone to punish you for what you've done!"
An old voice spoke with indescribable agony, full of resentment, "Ling Xiaozui, you've relied on your martial prowess to bully this old man, an old man with one foot in the grave. What kind of hero are you? Did you, Ling Xiaozui, rely on this to make a name for yourself in the martial world? Is this how the legends of this world are written? Or are the legends of this world just a joke? "
In the air, a clear sneer rang out, "He Hanqing, say it again if you have the guts. Do you dare or not?! "
The voice was filled with an oppressive threat.
There was no longer any sound from below.
In the air, a long howl rang out, "Don't say the martial world is far away, who says the secular world is far away? Pour wine on the clouds, and still get drunk! Not bad, not bad at all! "
The majestic sword light soared into the sky once again, reaching a height of a thousand feet.
With a loud bang, the clouds were dispersed by the sword light, forming a large hole. A ball of sword light charged straight into the hole and disappeared without a trace.
The entire Tiantang City was silent.
Extreme silence, extreme silence, extreme solemnity – it was suffocating.
Even those who felt an itch in their throats and wanted to cough were holding it in with all their might.
They were silent out of fear.
No one dared to act rashly.
Today, they had finally witnessed the power of the world's Unrivaled Expert.
No wonder it was said that the mystical dragon was far away from the secular world. Soaring a thousand feet into the sky and disappearing into the clouds – it was an unbelievable feat.
Was he still human?
Perhaps he was already an immortal on earth now.
Why would such a human legend find trouble with Old He? Whether it was in the imperial court or out in the world, Old He was a righteous man with a great reputation. Of course, he could actually compete with Ling Xiaozui. Although it was only for a moment, his cultivation base was unexpectedly sharp. Was there anyone in the Empire of Yutang who could rival him? Could the two old marshals, Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin, do this?
Was the image of the black gas from Old He? It did not seem to be a good thing. What Ling Xiaozui had said about man doing and heaven watching, as well as what he meant by 'unbearable', was unavoidably suspicious and thought-provoking.
…
At the Residence of He beneath the intense battle.
It was a mess. All the houses and residences had collapsed. The owner of the Residence of He, Old He, was clutching his chest in agony as he sat in the mess, his face pale.
He spat out a dozen mouthfuls of blood, his white beard dripping with blood. It was as if his spirit, Qi, and spirit had been sucked away in an instant.
The wrinkles on his face had deepened. There was only a sword mark on his chest, but it was a mark that did not even cut through his flesh.
However, He Hanqing knew that the severity of this sword wound would not heal without at least ten years. Within these ten years, he could no longer use high-level mystical Qi.
