The earth trembled, the square caved in, and the mountain collapsed.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the huge square continued to collapse because it could not withstand the terrifying impact of the huge sword. Endless Sword Qi rushed into the ground and destroyed the internal structure of the mountain. Gullies that were nearly a hundred meters wide and bottomless spread out, raising endless dust.
The people standing on the ground felt dizzy and dizzy. They hurriedly flew into the sky to feel better.
When the dust floating in the sky above the square dissipated, an incomparably shocking scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The originally huge square had already collapsed and disappeared without a trace. A hundred meters wide, bottomless gully ran through the entire mountain, splitting the entire mountain into two from the middle.
Majestic energy roared in the bottomless gully, and endless cold wind blew out from the gully, causing people to involuntarily shiver.
As for the Imperial Tutor, Chen Zuan, he had long disappeared without a trace. Perhaps he was buried in the gully by the falling rocks.
"Hiss!"
Looking at this spectacular scene, everyone present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
If it was not for the Imperial Tutor Chen Zuan and the Great Mountain Protection Formation blocking most of the power, the entire mountain would have been destroyed, and even the entire Nine Heavens Star might have been pierced through.
They looked at the gully that spread throughout the entire mountain, looked at Ling Chi, whose white hair was fluttering in the wind, and whose white clothes were whiter than snow, and their hearts were filled with unconcealable solemnity and shock.
They never thought that this guy would be so strong that he could defeat the Imperial Tutor of the Nine Heavens Empire.
"Ah … Bastard, I will kill you!"
Just when everyone was shocked by this, a furious roar resounded from the bottom of the hundred thousand foot deep gorge, causing their expressions to change.
The Imperial Tutor actually did not die?
Ling Chi's gaze turned cold, and a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. He suddenly rushed out, turned into a stream of light, and rushed into the gully.
The sounds of intense fighting came from the gully, and terrifying energy roared in all directions, causing the entire mountain to tremble once again.
"No …"
Following a terrified and heart-wrenching cry of despair, the sounds of fighting came to an abrupt end, and the chaotic energy in the gully gradually calmed down.
"Whose voice is that?"
"The fighting has stopped. Has the result been decided?"
"Did someone die?"
Upon hearing this frightened and despairing voice, the hearts of everyone present involuntarily tightened. Everyone's gazes simultaneously landed on the deep abyss without any prior agreement.
Under their watchful eyes, a white figure flew out on a flying sword.
It was none other than Ling Chi.
"It's actually him … Does this mean that the Imperial Advisor has fallen?"
"Did this guy kill the Imperial Preceptor?"
Everyone was shocked when they saw Ling Chi flying out, and they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
"Your Majesty, Chen Zuan is dead. It looks like we've won this duel. Swords have no eyes, I'm sorry for your loss!"
Ye Xuan raised his head and looked at Qin Jiutian as he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"What? The Imperial Preceptor is dead? "
"Your Majesty, this …"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the expressions of the important officials of the Nine Heavens Empire couldn't help but greatly change as they exclaimed in shock.
Although they had already guessed that the State Preceptor Chen Zuan might have met with misfortune the moment they saw Ling Chi flying out, they didn't expect him to actually die.
This was unimaginable to them.
In their opinion, even if the Imperial Preceptor couldn't beat him, he could at most admit defeat. However, they didn't expect him to die just like that.
This was undoubtedly a huge loss to the Nine Heavens Empire.
At this moment, Qin Jiutian's expression became especially gloomy and unsightly. Killing intent filled his eyes as he clenched his fists so hard that crackling sounds could be heard.
When he sent the Imperial Preceptor, Chen Zuan, to fight, he had imagined many scenarios. He had even prepared for the worst case scenario, where Chen Zuan would be defeated. However, he had never thought that Chen Zuan would actually die.
"Your Majesty's words carry weight. According to our previous agreement, if Ling Chi is spared, you will no longer interfere in the matters of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect. I believe Your Majesty will not go back on his word because of this, right?"
Ye Xuan ignored Qin Jiutian, who had an unsightly expression, and continued to speak.
"I will no longer interfere in the matter between you and the Nine Heaven Sword Sect. At the same time, the engagement between Qing Xia and Lin Yun will be canceled!"
Qin Jiutian's expression was ugly. He clenched his fists so hard that crackling sounds could be heard as he glared at Ling Chi.
Chi uttered word by word.
"What?"
"His Majesty actually canceled the engagement between Lin Yun and Qin Qingxia in front of everyone. He has completely abandoned the Nine Heaven Sword Sect!"
"The Nine Heaven Sword Sect has become an abandoned pawn?"
Hearing Qin Jiutian's words, the pupils of the surrounding people couldn't help but constrict. They looked at Qin Jiutian as if they had seen a ghost. It was obvious that they hadn't expected him to make such a decision.
It was one thing to no longer interfere in the matters of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect, but he actually completely disregarded the face of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect and canceled the engagement between the Grand Princess and Qin Qingxia in front of everyone.
Wasn't this a public slap in the face of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect, causing Lin Yuanzhi and the others to lose face?
In order to not offend Ye Xuan, His Majesty actually did this?
As for Qin Qingxia, she was overjoyed at this moment.
She had never expected Qin Jiutian's words.
"How could that be? "Your Majesty!"
Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Yun felt as if they had been struck by lightning as they looked at Qin Jiutian in astonishment and disbelief.
Such a decision was completely without the slightest consideration for their feelings and face.
"Your Majesty, I truly like Qing Xia, I am willing …"
Lin Yun's face was deathly pale. All the strength in his body seemed to have been sucked out as he knelt in front of Qin Jiutian and pleaded.
"Let's talk about it after you've settled your grudges!"
However, before Lin Yun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Jiutian.
If he had known that Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Yun, the father and son duo, still had the mess of Ling Chi to clean up, then he definitely wouldn't have rashly betrothed Qin Qingxia to Lin Yun and formed a marriage alliance with the Nine Heaven Sword Sect.
In order to help these fellows, he had already lost an Imperial Preceptor. If he insisted on standing on their side and supporting them, then the losses would be even greater. He might even offend the Immortal Emperor Hao Tian. This was an extremely unworthy thing.
Therefore, at this time, Qin Jiutian could only endure the pain and cut off his flesh to stop the damage in time.
As a Region Lord, he wasn't an impulsive person. He sought stability in everything.
Hearing Qin Jiutian's heartless words, Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Yun's faces turned extremely pale, without any color to speak of.
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of his word. I am extremely impressed!"
Ye Xuan cupped his fists towards Qin Jiutian.
Qin Jiutian glanced at Ye Xuan, but didn't say anything.
Ye Xuan didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled. Then, his gaze descended onto the three supreme elders of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect and coldly said, "Do the three of you plan to continue protecting Lin Yuanzhi and his son?"
The three supreme elders of the Nine Heaven Sword Sect coldly stared at Ye Xuan without saying a word.
Afterwards, they turned their heads and looked at Ling Chi. They angrily rebuked him, "Ling Chi, are you really going to destroy the Nine Heaven Sword Sect? Are you worthy of all the years of nurturing that the sect has given you? "
"Nurture?"
A cold smile appeared on Ling Chi's face, "I admit that the sect has indeed nurtured me, but my contributions to the sect have completely offset the sect's nurturing of me. If it wasn't for the sect abandoning me, then I definitely wouldn't have abandoned the sect. "
"But what is the truth?" You clearly know what happened all those years ago, but as the supreme elders of the sect, what did you do? Inverting black and white to protect this pair of dog father and son! This time, I came back for revenge … The people who assassinated me all those years ago must die! "
Killing intent flashed in Ling Chi's eyes as he spoke word by word.
"For the sake of our relationship back then, I'll give you a choice. Apologize to me and hand over all the people who chased after me all those years ago. Otherwise, the Nine Heaven Sword Sect will cease to exist from today onwards!"
His voice was cold and dignified, overflowing with killing intent. It reverberated throughout the world, causing everyone present to involuntarily shiver.
"What happened back then is already in the past. Why must you force us step by step?"
The First Supreme Elder, the Sword Ancestor, stared at Ling Chi and said.
"Cut the crap. Either hand over the person, or you die with them!"
A trace of impatience flashed through Ye Xuan's eyes as he instantly controlled his second clone, Ling Chi's body.
"Since you want to do things so ruthlessly, then the three of us old fellows can only accompany you to the end!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the First Supreme Elder, the Sword Ancestor, as he coldly spoke.
"Since that's the case, then all of you can go to hell!"
Killing intent surged in Ling Chi's eyes as he fiercely waved the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand. With a slash, boundless sword qi transformed into a Vermillion Bird covered in flames as it charged towards the First Supreme Elder.
"You're courting death!"
The First Supreme Elder, the Sword Ancestor's long hair fluttered in the wind as his aura erupted. He struck out with his palm towards Ling Chi, and the force of his palm swallowed as a huge palm print whizzed towards the Vermillion Bird Sword Qi, colliding with it.
"Bam!"
A huge explosion rang out as terrifying energy spread out in all directions.
The palm print and the Vermillion Bird Sword Qi were both annihilated.
"Humph!"
The Great Elder, the Sword Ancestor, let out a cold snort. He took a step forward and his body strangely disappeared from where he stood.
When his figure reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Chi. His withered palm was filled with pure star power as it struck towards Ling Chi's chest.
Ling Chi's expression turned cold. He clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it forward with a powerful force.
The fist and palm collided, and a terrifying force exploded, sending both of them flying backwards at the same time.
"Tap, tap, tap …"
Ling Chi retreated a hundred meters in a row before he managed to stabilize himself, while the First Supreme Elder, the Sword Ancestor, had only retreated twenty meters.
The two clashed, and the difference in strength was obvious.
It was obvious that the battle with the Imperial Advisor, Chen Zuan, had consumed too much of Ling Chi's energy.
"Catch!"
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed as he threw the Star Thunder Mysterious Pill he refined at the second clone, Ling Chi.
"Crackle …"
Ling Chi swallowed the Star Thunder Mysterious Pill in one gulp. Lightning surged throughout his body, and the consumed star power instantly recovered. His strength and aura rose steadily, causing his combat strength to increase greatly.
This Star Thunder Mysterious Pill was indeed extraordinary.
"Again!"
Immediately, Ling Chi let out a stern shout and once again rushed towards the Great Elder, the Sword Ancestor.
"What kind of pill is that? It can actually recover this guy's star power in an instant, and his strength and speed have also increased by a level?"
Looking at Ling Chi, who had instantly recovered his star power and had an even more oppressive aura, a trace of seriousness flashed across the Great Supreme Elder's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a longsword appeared in his hand.
After that, he rushed out like lightning, holding his longsword and fighting fiercely with Ling Chi.
Whether it was the Great Elder, the Sword Ancestor, or Ye Xuan's second clone, Ling Chi, their attainments and comprehension of the way of the sword were extremely high. The battle between the two of them was even faster and more elegant, and the longswords in their hands were like fairies dancing …
There was no powerful confrontation between big moves. There was only the collision of swords and the dismantling of swords.
Their sword moves had already reached the level of complexity. Pick, chop, cut, pierce, pull, and other basic sword techniques were filled with a mysterious and terrifying lethality in their hands. Every move was aimed at the opponent's vital points, and if they were the slightest bit careless, blood would splatter on the spot.
Such an intense battle caused everyone in the surroundings to be immersed in it.
No one noticed that Lin Yun was silently moving in Ye Xuan's direction, slowly approaching him.
The battle between Ling Chi and the sword ancestor became even more intense, and both sides had transformed into shadows.
From afar, countless shadows were waving their swords in midair as they fiercely collided with each other. Wave after wave of sword Qi spread out from the center of their battle.
"This Nine Heavens Sword Sect's sword art is indeed profound … Turning simple into complicated, returning to its original state … Under the tempering of the sword ancestor, my second clone's comprehension of the way of the sword has deepened.
"Ye Xuan's eyes flickered with a sharp light as he looked at the two people who were fiercely clashing with each other.
He did not control the second clone, Ling Chi, but allowed Ling Chi to fight against the sword ancestor on his own!
"Ding!"
"Bam!"
The swords collided, and the palms met. A majestic force spread out from the bodies of the sword ancestor and Ling Chi.
"Die!"
However, just as Ling Chi and the sword ancestor were fighting with all their might, Lin Yun snuck to Ye Xuan's side. The longsword in his hand flowed with light as it pierced towards Ye Xuan's heart with boundless killing intent.
He hated Ye Xuan to the bones. It was this damned bastard who ruined his wedding and everything.
Only by killing him would he be able to resolve his resentment.
Lin Yun had used up all of his strength in this sudden attack. Once it hit, it would definitely cause Ye Xuan's soul to scatter.
"Young master, be careful!"
This sudden turn of events caused the expressions of Hun Yuying, Ao Bingxue, and the others to greatly change. It was already too late for them to save Ye Xuan.
A strong sense of danger filled Ye Xuan's heart, causing his expression to change slightly. He abruptly unsheathed the Jun Ni Sword in his hand.
