Chapter 715

Galo Tree Bodhisattva put his palms together. Half of his body was buried in the ground, and he stood still like a statue that had been smashed away.

His clothes looked like they had been waxed, and they were thick and hard.

"Xu Qi 'an!"

Ji Xuan's expression changed. His eyes were filled with anger, hatred, fear, confusion, and a trace of despair.

The National Master had said that the Heavenly Calamity Battle in the North was extremely disadvantageous. Xu Qi 'an and Luo Yuheng had both advanced to the first rank.

It was a bolt from the blue!

Ji Xuan almost went crazy when he heard the news. He couldn't accept this reality.

However, he suppressed all his emotions, including jealousy and fear, and joined the battle.

After all, Galo Tree and the White Emperor were still here. Both of them were first-rank martial artists. Even if Xu Qi 'an and Luo Yuheng both advanced to the first rank, they would only be able to turn their disadvantage into an advantage. It would take time to determine the winner.

During this time, as long as they beheaded the Empress, defeated the Daibun Army, and seized the capital city …

Then, the National Master would take this opportunity to become a Divinity Master … If he succeeded, the Yunzhou Army would have another first-rank martial artist. Xu Qi 'an's Force of Living Beings would be reduced due to the loss of the capital city.

This was what Ji Xuan and Xu Pingfeng thought before they saw Galo Tree Bodhisattva being smashed into the palace.

The only problem was that both he and Xu Pingfeng had underestimated Xu Qi 'an's combat power.

First of all, there had been no first-rank Warrior in the Land of Nine Prefectures since the Wu Zong Emperor. The only one who had made an appearance was Shen Shu, but he was only a half-step Martial God.

Secondly, there had only been one first-rank Earth Immortal, Tianzun, and he had been living in seclusion. How powerful could an Earth Immortal and a first-rank Warrior be when they worked together? No one knew.

Finally, Xu Qi 'an was too complicated. He had the Nation Suppressing Sword, the Buddha's Pagoda, the Force of Living Beings, and the Seven Deadly Gu. He was definitely different from an ordinary first-rank Warrior.

All these factors made it difficult for Xu Pingfeng to estimate the true combat power of his eldest son.

Not only Xu Pingfeng, but Galo Tree and the White Emperor had also underestimated the combat power of Xu Qi and Luo Yuheng. Before the battle, Xu Qi'd swore that he wanted to taste the blood of a first-rank Warrior.

However, his supernatural power was restrained by an Earth Immortal, and his body was was not as strong as a first-rank Warrior.



"You really are a stinky stone in the latrine."

"You.... and. in. and Qi. Nock...

He then looked at the ashen-faced Ji Xuan and put on a fake smile.

"Long time no see, Seventh Cousin."

Ji Xuan gritted his teeth. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and exerted force in his palm.

The Imperial Advisor always had a backup plan, and so did Ji Xuan. He had no lack of life-saving jade talismans. The furthest distance of the Teleportation Array was a state. He could return to Yongzhou directly if he crushed the talisman.

Not only him, but several key figures in the Yunzhou Army also had a Teleportation Jade Talisman.

The Light didn't rise, and he was still in the palace. The next moment, Ji Xuan felt a sharp pain in his right arm. He didn't know when his right arm had been separated from his body.

Xu Qi 'an, who was high in the sky, was torn apart by the strong wind. It was just an afterimage.

"Cousin, nice to meet you. I like to kill cousins."

Xu Qi 'an's sneer came from behind, and he immediately added,

"I like to kill cousins too."

He used the Heaven Venomous Insect's Star Shifting Technique to deceive Ji Xuan's sense of danger.

Ji Xuan's body staggered forward, and in an instant, he was dozens of meters away.

"Imperial Advisor …"

The only one who could save him now was Xu Pingfeng.

As the roar lingered, Xu Qi 'an appeared in front of Ji Xuan again at an exaggerated speed. He twisted his waist with his left leg as the axis.

"Bang!"

His right leg turned into a whip and broke Ji Xuan's waist. His lower body was still running, but his upper body fell heavily on the ground after flying for a distance.

"Galo Tree, take Ji Xuan away!"

High up in the sky, Xu Pingfeng's shocked and angry shout came.

The second grade warlock didn't show off his skills in front of his eldest son and kept the distance between them.

The moment he saw Xu Qi 'an return to the capital, he knew that he had lost the battle.

Xu Qi 'an stepped on Ji Xuan's upper body, looked back at Galo Tree, and sneered.

"Do you dare to move?"

Galo Tree frowned and didn't say anything.

The two fought all the way from the Northern Region to the capital, fighting violence with violence. Galo Tree knew very well that he was no match for Xu Qi 'an with the Vajra Form alone. The dark golden blood on his body was proof.

With the strength of a first grade Warrior and the Power of Living, Xu Qi 'an's combat power had surpassed the Supervisor in Qingzhou.

He was able to stand firm in front of the supervisor, but he was being smashed around like a rock by this newly promoted first-grade martial artist.

However, Xu Qi 'an was still not as good as Shen Shu, so he couldn't beat his Acalanatha with three punches like the former.

However, the Garuda Tree was only able to protect itself.

Withdrawing the Acalanatha, he couldn't withstand the fist and the Nation Suppressing Sword of this first grade Warrior with just the support of the Vajra Form.

"Leave Ji Xuan to me. You don't dare to fight me in the capital."

Galo Tree said in a deep voice.

At this time, Galo Tree's attitude determined the life and death of Ji Xuan, as well as the life and death of most ordinary people in the capital.

Xu Qi 'an raised his eyebrows.

"You can threaten me with the capital. This is indeed my weakness. But do you think I will let you leave the Central Plains alive after destroying the capital? "

Xu Qi 'an didn't fall for this threat.

"If you destroy the capital, Zhao Shou won't let you go. Luo Yuheng won't let you go. Azuro doesn't care about the capital, but if it's possible, he will do everything he can to keep you in the Central Plains. Jinlian Taoist Priest wouldn't let go of this opportunity to earn a lot of merit points.

"I want to know if the Acalanatha can withstand the attacks of so many masters.

"You have two choices now. You can fight me to the death and destroy the capital. But when the Extraordinary Masters of Daibun come back, you will definitely die. Or you can leave now, and I will give you a chance to leave the capital. Make your choice. "

If Galo Tree wanted to threaten him with the capital, he could also threaten him with his life. Let's see who is more ruthless!

"Galo Tree Bodhisattva, don't be fooled by him. He doesn't dare to bet with you. He doesn't dare!" Ji Xuan raised his head and shouted at Galo Tree.

Xu Qi 'an's face was calm, as if everything was under control.

He said, "But even if you, Galo Tree, are willing to risk your life for Xu Pingfeng's great cause, do you think he still has a chance to enter the Central Plains? He is only a Level Two Warlock, and the trash under my feet? The White Emperor has fled overseas, and the Cloud State has lost its power.

"No matter what benefits he promised Buddhism, it is destined to be impossible to fulfill."

Galo Tree might be ruthless, but he would never risk his life for Xu Pingfeng, because even Xu Pingfeng might not be willing to risk his life for his great cause.

After a short silence, Galo Tree slowly got up. His body was instantly healed, and his dark golden blood stained his body. He put his palms together and said slowly,

"Amitabha. Xu Pingfeng, the alliance between you and the Buddhist Sect ends here. Take care of yourself."

He looked at Xu Qi 'an and slowly took three steps back. Seeing that there was no one to stop him, he suddenly soared into the sky, turned into a golden light, and fled to the west.

Xu Pingfeng seemed to have expected Galo Tree's choice. He looked down at the imperial palace indifferently and directly teleported away.

Ji Xuan's face was full of despair.

"Phew …" Xu Qi 'an spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

He had the ruthlessness to destroy everything indiscriminately. The existence of the broken jade was enough to prove everything.

But if he could protect the capital, he was willing to compromise and let Galo Tree leave.

He would go to the Western Region sooner or later, and he would settle the score later.

"It's time to end this. I'll send you to see your brother."

Xu Qi 'an looked down at Ji Xuan and pressed his palm down gently.

The veins on Ji Xuan's forehead bulged. He was filled with anger, fear, and unwillingness. He was born a bastard, and in order not to steal the limelight from Ji Qian, he hid his strength for more than 20 years.

After Ji Qian's death, he really started to rise. After a narrow escape, he finally reached the Transcendent Realm and became the second Transcendent Realm Warrior of the younger generation.

Just one step, just one step, and he would be able to kill the Empress and become the king.

At the end of his life, he looked back at his life.

"Xu … Qi 'an …"

Ji Xuan let out a shrill cry, but the next moment, his voice stopped, and his ferocious expression froze on his face.

His Yuan Shen was shattered by Xu Qi 'an, and his soul was destroyed.

"Let me borrow your head."

Xu Qi 'an summoned the Nation Suppressing Sword, cut off Ji Xuan's head, and turned to the Empress.

"Collect his body, I want to refine the Blood Pill later."

Ji Xuan's fleshly body was still alive and brimming with vitality, but it was already an empty shell.

…

"Oh no!"

Chu Yuanzhen's face turned pale. He turned to look at Hengy Yuan, and found that the latter's eyes were filled with the same anger and sadness as his.

In the eyes of the experts fighting outside the city, the bronze instrument did not have many details.

From the outer city to the palace, due to the distance, the bronze instrument was huge. To the people on the city wall, it was as small as a dish, not to mention Xu Qi 'an, who had the body size of a human.

The eyesight of a fourth grade expert could not see too many details through such a long distance.

Therefore, the bronze instrument's disintegration was more like it had completed its mission and was taken back.

Zhang Shen and the other experts on Daibun's side were either sad, angry, or at a loss. They all guessed that the Empress had been killed by Xu Pingfeng.

It was done? Yang Chuannan was overjoyed, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

After killing the Empress, the Daibun's garrison would be in a panic. Once the people's hearts were shaken, how could they fight? Their resistance would also be weakened.

Capturing the capital city was half a success.

Ge Wenxuan stepped on a wind-riding instrument and looked at the palace from afar. He suddenly thought of many things. If Yun State became the master of the Central Plains, he could be conferred the title of king and minister. Not only would he have enough luck to support his cultivation, but he could also become a prophet, a formation master, and even a seer.

For him, the real path of cultivation had just begun.

The other Rank-4 martial artists from Cloud State were all extremely excited.

"The Empress is dead. Today is the day to conquer the capital city."

"Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not die."

A few arrogant Warrior shouted.

Qi Guangbo did not need to check the situation on the wind. From the feedback of the experts on the city wall, he could guess that everything was going well. The national advisor and Ji Xuan had been killed.

Wei Yuan, it's time for us to decide the winner … Qi Guangbo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

For him, killing the Empress was a necessity of the war, but he did not feel any sense of accomplishment.

His real target was Wei Yuan.

This was also the reason why he was willing to follow Xu Pingfeng to join Hidden Dragon City.

He and Wei Yuan did not know each other, but like many famous experts in Jianghu, even if they had never met, they would travel thousands of mountains and rivers to invite him for a battle.

Because in this world, a confidant and an opponent were the rarest.

In the barracks not far from the city wall, Wei Yuan put down the Divine Mirror of Chaos and stretched.

"Prepare the carriage. I'm going to the Haoqi Building to take a nap."

In the image reflected by the Divine Mirror of Chaos, the top of the city wall was silent. A young man in a green robe was holding a head in his hand, looking down at the smoke-filled battlefield.

Xu Qi'an stood in the air and said slowly,

"Ji Xuan is dead. The defeat of Yunzhou is certain. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Xu … Xu Qi'an …"

Ge Wenxuan moved his lips and spat out three words with difficulty.

His eyes immediately fell on Ji Xuan's head, and his face turned pale. At this time, he realized that the collapse of the Tianji Compass was not because Ji Xuan and the national master had killed the Empress. On the contrary, it was because Xu Qi'an had returned.

The national master and Ji Xuan had met him in the palace.

Ji Xuan was dead. Then, what about Master?

"Ji Xuan is dead?!"

Yang Chuannan's mood reversed. He was as proud as he was before, and now he was as desperate as he could be.

"Impossible. Even the White Emperor and Galo Tree couldn't kill him? How could this be? Why … "

Ji Xuan was dead, the national master was missing, and the Yunzhou Army was doomed. Yang Chuannan's gamble with the fate of his entire family ended in a fiasco.

Not only Yang Chuannan, but also the masters in the Yunzhou Army were all pale, confused and desperate. They didn't know why the situation had suddenly turned out like this.

It was an inexplicable defeat.

In the distance, the smile on Qi Guangbo's face hadn't faded yet. Then, his face stiffened.

His heart also sank to the bottom of the valley.

He figured out the situation in an instant. The Heavenly Tribulation in the Northern Region had ended in advance. Xu Qi'an had returned to the capital city and foiled the plan of Ji Xuan and the national master.

Ji Xuan was dead, and the national master had most likely escaped.

Yunzhou was finished.

Miao Youfang sat on the ground with his back against the parapet wall. He wiped his bloodstained face and said weakly,

"He's finally back."

On the side, Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, Xu Xinnian, and the imperial guards were really relieved, as if they had found their backbone and a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts.

Chu Yuanzhen and Master Hengy Yuan looked at each other, smiled, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The unusual movement just now was not that Huaiqing was killed by Xu Pingfeng, but that Xu Ningyan had returned.

It also meant that Daibun had won the Heavenly Tribulation in the Northern Region.

"It's Xu Yinluo. He's back."

"Xu Yinluo killed the Extraordinary Master of Yunzhou."

On the city wall, the Daibun Army burst into cheers. The soldiers worshiped the figure in the sky as if he were a god.

"Now it's all over. Damn it, we don't have to die."

A soldier with a broken arm leaned against the wall and grinned, revealing his blood-red gums.

"We don't have to die, we don't have to die …"

The wounded soldiers covered their faces and wept bitterly.

Amid the cheers of the Daibun Army, Ge Wenxuan, Qi Guangbo, Yang Chuannan, and a dozen other core members of the Yunzhou Army took out their Teleportation Talismans at the same time.

These were the life-saving Dharma Artifacts given to them by the Imperial Advisor. The corresponding Teleportation Platform was set up at the border between Yongzhou and the capital. When they arrived at Yongzhou, they could use other Teleportation Talismans to return to Yunzhou through the Teleportation Formations along the way.

It would take them at most a quarter of an hour to do so.

The Teleportation Talismans were very complicated to make. The materials were not priceless, but they were not cheap either. Therefore, they were only given to the core members of the army.

"Teleportation is not allowed here!"

Another figure appeared in the sky above the city wall. It was Zhao Shou, who was wearing a Confucian crown.

He was the first to return to the capital, which showed that the Confucian Sect's Dharma Spells were definitely among the best in all the major systems.

Qi Guangbo and the others had crushed the Teleportation Talismans in their hands, but there was no Light to take them away.

Their last hope was gone.

Zhao Shou nodded slightly at Xu Qi 'an.

"Boom!"

In the deafening sonic boom, Xu Qi 'an immediately disappeared from everyone's sight. His current speed had reached the limit of a Warrior.

It should be said that he had reached the limit of flying with the wind.

Other than the Teleportation Technique, which was related to space, no Wind Manipulation Technique in the world could be faster than him.

The reason why he did not immediately chase after Xu Pingfeng was because he was afraid that Galo Tree would come back halfway and take drastic measures.

Now that Zhao Shou had returned, Azuro and Jinlian would not be far away. The three of them, together with Kouyang Province and Sun Xuanji, would definitely be able to fight against Galo Tree, who had exhausted a lot of energy.

Even if Galo Tree had the intention of taking drastic measures, he would give up the idea when he saw such a lineup.

Moreover, Xu Qi 'an knew where Xu Pingfeng would go, so he was not afraid that he would not be able to find him.

There must be an end between father and son.

It was only right and proper for a son to send his father off.

…

In the underground chamber of the West Court.

A group of Imperial Guards opened the heavy iron door. Fresh and cool air flowed into the secret chamber, causing the women to feel refreshed.

The leader of the Imperial Guards bowed and said,

"Under the order of His Majesty, please return to the Empress Dowager, ladies, madams and ladies."

Can we go out now?

A noble lady whose makeup was ruined from crying asked tentatively,

"The rebels have been defeated?"

Seeing the Empress Dowager and the ladies staring at him, the leader of the Imperial Guards replied,

"One rebel leader is dead, the other has escaped. The rebellion outside the city has been quelled, and all the rebel generals have been captured."

Simu Wang, who was accompanying her mother, frowned and asked,

"So fast?"

The leader of the Imperial Guards smiled and said,

"Xu Yinluo is back. How can it not be fast?"

Cheers broke out, and the ladies were completely relieved. They smiled through tears and said that God bless the imperial court while thanking Xu Yinluo.

Next to Old Princess Chen, Lin An, who had a sullen face, finally did not have to pretend to be calm. She put her hands on her waist as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Aunt originally wanted to collapse, but the ladies on the side all looked at the Xu family's womenfolk, forcing Aunt to straighten her chest and raise her head to maintain her dignity.

She accepted the flattery and praise of the noble madams and ladies.

Mu Nanzi glanced at Lin An and also put her hands on her waist.

Xu Lingyue had a harmless and weak look on her face.
