"Gao Zhengyang …"
Zhao Ban was all too familiar with this voice. His heart sank to the bottom, and his body stiffened. He seemed to have turned into a statue, frozen in place.
After a while, Zhao Ban slowly turned around and said to Gao Zhengyang with a bitter smile, "Your Excellency, I didn't do anything. Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
His body and divine sense had changed greatly. As long as Gao Zhengyang didn't recognize his true face, he could pretend to be wronged and Gao Zhengyang might not kill him.
Others had the illusion that Gao Zhengyang was bloodthirsty. But Zhao Ban felt that Gao Zhengyang was just cold-blooded and wasn't afraid to kill. This was completely different from some bloodthirsty madmen. Moreover, Gao Zhengyang could be reasoned with.
"I like to be aggressive. What can you do about it?" Gao Zhengyang smiled proudly and arrogantly. That unreasonable look on his face really made people gnash their teeth in anger.
Zhao Ban didn't dare to get angry with Gao Zhengyang. He smiled apologetically, "Your Excellency, I'm not that familiar with Huo Tian. I don't know what happened at the banquet a few days ago … "
"You mean you don't know anything?"
Gao Zhengyang's face darkened. "Then what's the point of keeping you alive? Die."
Zhao Ban's heart tightened. "What do you want to know? As long as I know it, I will answer truthfully."
Gao Zhengyang's expression softened. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I'm actually curious. Where did you get your plastic surgery? You're a demonic sect's leader, but you turned into a tiger. I'm very envious of your ability. "
Zhao Ban completely understood. Gao Zhengyang had been toying with him all along! He put away his humble smile and said calmly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you!"
"Hehe, I wanted to play with you a little longer, but I still have to go to the palace. I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'll send you on your way now."
Gao Zhengyang didn't want to waste any more time with Zhao Ban. He threw a punch at him.
Zhao Ban let out a ferocious roar. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he once again activated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Secret Technique. Burning his Blood Essence and Divine Soul caused his strength to soar once again.
The three Martial Spirits hidden deep within the Divine Palace emerged behind him. These were the divine souls of Hu Feichan and his brothers. He had used the secret method of the demon race to refine them into three Martial Souls. Every Martial Spirit had the strength of a Stage Nine Martial Spirit. With the three Martial Spirits working together, the energy released was incomparably berserk.
Zhao Ban made a strange hand seal and bent all four fingers of his right hand. Only his middle finger was straight like a needle. He gently stabbed at Gao Zhengyang.
The Deity Killing Spike. This stab was not about gravity, but about the vital parts of the opponent's divine soul. It was said to be a supreme art used to kill gods.
Zhao Ban activated the Sky Demon Disintegration Secret Technique and gathered the power of three Martial Souls to activate the God Killing Spike. He believed that he could even kill a Sage Level Martial Artist. This was also because he knew that he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed against Gao Zhengyang, which was why he fought with his life on the line.
The God Killing Spike wasn't ferocious, but it had the sharpness of a needle. It also had the viciousness and viciousness of a divine soul. Its sharpness seemed to be able to kill gods and destroy Buddhas.
"Hmm? This is interesting … "
Gao Zhengyang wanted to kill Zhao Ban with a punch, but after seeing the power of the God Killing Spike, he changed his mind. At his level of cultivation, he knew all the secret techniques in the world at a glance. The ferocity of the God Killing Spike was something he had never seen before.
Gao Zhengyang turned his fist into a finger and stretched out his middle finger to meet the God Killing Spike. His finger took the limitless sword intent and used it to control all techniques. Although it was just a sword finger, the sword intent was vast and boundless.
The God Killing Spike's ferocious killing intent seemed to have stabbed into thin air. No matter how sharp the killing intent was, it couldn't be used when it landed in the void. It only felt empty and unspeakably uncomfortable.
Zhao Ban was extremely determined. He activated all the transformations of the God Killing Spike, but it was like he was punching the void. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any response.
He was in despair. He used the Sky Demon Disintegration secret technique and burned three Martial Souls, but it was still no threat to Gao Zhengyang. The huge difference between him and Gao Zhengyang made it meaningless for him to risk his life.
When Zhao Ban used all 108 transformations of the God Killing Spike, an unparalleled sword intent came against the momentum and slashed Zhao Ban's palace. The majestic sword intent came from the inside out, from the divine soul to the body, and cut Zhao Ban completely.
Zhao Ban's eyes dimmed, and he slowly retracted the God Killing Spike. He sighed and said to Gao Zhengyang, "So you've already become a sage. Your vital qi and divine soul are one, and there's no difference between the inside and the outside. The God Killing Spike can't threaten you at all. "
"The God Killing Spike is a very powerful secret technique. It's a pity that your strength is too low, and you can't unleash its full potential."
Gao Zhengyang spoke the truth. It wasn't that the God Killing Spike was weak, but that Zhao Ban was too weak. If Purple Heart Lotus used the God Killing Spike, he would have to be more careful.
Zhao Ban was about to die, and he didn't care about Gao Zhengyang's little mockery. He said, "It's said that a dying man's words are kind. I can't think of anything good to say. I just hope to see you again in hell. "
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "Those demon gods of the demon race are all lies! There's no hell. In this world, the human heart is hell! "
Zhao Ban said desolately, "I suddenly feel that everything is so boring …"
Before he finished, Zhao Ban's body exploded into pieces, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Gao Zhengyang opened the Blood God Flag, and kept Zhao Ban's divine soul and life force. To him, Zhao Ban was an enemy. He would never sympathize with an enemy.
"It's best if you die completely this time, don't cause trouble …"
Gao Zhengyang felt that Zhao Ban's divine soul was incomplete, but the remaining aura seemed to be very far away, not even in the human world. He didn't have the time to investigate.
Even if thousands of Zhao Ban appeared, he could easily kill them. Such a small matter wasn't worth his effort.
After taking care of Zhao Ban, Gao Zhengyang activated the Blood God Flag and stepped into the void. When he appeared again, he was next to the Saber Nurturing Pool in the depths of the palace.
The thousands of essence stones piled up in the Saber Nurturing Pool had already been burned to ashes, and only the inextinguishable poison fire emitted blue flames. The entire sealed hall was covered in a layer of strange blue light. It looked like a ghost.
Huo Tianxin held the Vermillion Bird Saber, his old eyes blank, and his face withered like a corpse. Seeing Gao Zhengyang walk out of the void, Huo Tianxin raised his head to look at Gao Zhengyang.
"Hehe, you're here to steal the Vermillion Bird Saber, right?"
Huo Tianxin laughed dryly, a hint of mockery on his withered face. He said, "Unfortunately, the Vermillion Bird Saber is branded with the imperial bloodline, and only members of the Huo family can use it. If you want the Vermillion Bird Saber, quickly reincarnate and become a grandson of the Huo family! Hahaha … "
With that, Huo Tianxin flipped the saber hilt and handed it to Gao Zhengyang, provoking, "I'll give it to you now, don't you dare!"
"Seeing that you're so sincere in giving it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it."
Gao Zhengyang reached out to the hilt and easily lifted the Vermillion Bird Saber.
The Vermillion Bird Saber was four feet and one inch long, and more than three inches wide. The blade was thin and the ridge was thick, and the head of the saber had a clear curve. The overall curve of the blade was very beautiful, and it also carried a strong murderous aura.
Within the crimson blade, boundless fire elemental essence energy responded with the slightest movement. Holding the Vermillion Bird Saber, that rich and blazing power made Gao Zhengyang's heart fill with murderous intent, and he wanted to find someone to hack at him.
While Gao Zhengyang was savoring the power of the Vermillion Bird Saber, Huo Tianxin looked like he had seen a ghost. His withered old face stared at Gao Zhengyang's hand that was holding the saber, horror written all over his withered face.
The Vermillion Bird Saber was the Fire Nation's Divine Weapon, and it was deeply branded with the bloodline of the Fire Nation's imperial family. Only the purest of the imperial family could establish a resonance with the Vermillion Bird Saber.
But to pick up the Vermillion Bird Saber, a complicated ceremony was needed to let the Vermillion Bird Saber accept a new master. Generally speaking, only the Fire Nation's Emperor was the true master of the Vermillion Bird Saber. The other imperial family members could barely borrow the power of the Vermillion Bird Saber.
Because Huo Tianxin was not the saber master, he was forced to pick up the Vermillion Bird Saber and suffered the backlash of the Pure Yang True Fire. After a few days, even his Yang Spirit was exhausted.
Under normal circumstances, any outsider who came into contact with the Vermillion Bird Saber would suffer the fiercest counterattack and resistance. Even if Gao Zhengyang could resist the Vermillion Bird Demon Slaying Formation, it would be difficult for him to resist the powerful counterattack of the Vermillion Bird Saber.
But the way Gao Zhengyang held the Vermillion Bird Saber was even more relaxed than Huo Tianxin. This cruel reality was something that Huo Tianxin could not accept.
"Not bad …" Gao Zhengyang praised from the bottom of his heart.
Huo Tianxin suddenly pounced over as if he had gone mad. "This is the Huo Family's Divine Weapon! Return it to me!"
Gao Zhengyang raised the saber and stabbed it into Huo Tianxin's chest. The overbearing power of the Pure Yang True Fire immediately turned the old man into a ball of raging flames.
"I curse you, I curse you, I curse you, I will never stop …"
Huo Tianxin, who had turned into a ball of raging flames, cursed unwillingly. His entire body quickly turned into a ball of raging flames, and not even a wisp of smoke was left behind.
However, his curses were still echoing endlessly in the huge palace.
Gao Zhengyang curled his lips indifferently. "If words were useful, why would we still practice martial arts? Besides, you weren't the one who wanted to give it to me. Is there a need to be so agitated? "
Gao Zhengyang had the power of three saints and a body full of Divine Weapons. Why would he care about a mere curse? At the end of the day, this kind of curse was still based on power. No matter how heavy Huo Tianxin's resentment was, it was only the wail of a defeated dog. It sounded mournful, but that was all.
However, there was indeed a problem with the Vermillion Bird Saber.
The Vermillion Bird Saber should be an eleventh rank Divine Weapon, a Divine Weapon used by a true God Realm master. Its rank was too high, far exceeding the limits of Gao Zhengyang's power.
Although he was holding the Vermillion Bird Saber with ease and could activate its power normally, the Vermillion Bird Saber's power was not something that could be underestimated. That was because he had refined the Vermillion Bird Saber through the Blood Divine Flag and grasped the power of the Pure Yang True Fire. Moreover, the aura of his soul was more compatible with the Vermillion Bird Saber.
However, deep in the core of the Vermillion Bird Saber, the Fire Nation's royal bloodline imprint could not be changed. When the Law of Heaven and Earth changed further, the power of the Vermillion Bird Saber would increase, and he would no longer be able to control it.
Of course, by then, he might have become a God Realm master and be able to suppress the Vermillion Bird Saber. However, the Vermillion Bird Saber had an owner. Lord God Ling Guang was not joking.
Gao Zhengyang did not want to guess the thoughts of a Lord God, nor did he want to take the risk. He did not lack Divine Weapons, so there was no need to flaunt it around. The Vermillion Bird Saber was good, but it was not as good as the Dragon King Halberd.
However, objectively speaking, the Dragon King Halberd's toughness, heaviness, and ability to break spells was not as good as the Vermillion Bird Saber. At the level of a Sage, the Dragon King Halberd was enough. According to Ao Zhen, finding the last Lightning Needle would not be a problem for the Dragon King Halberd to kill the God.
However, the last Lightning Needle was not in the East Continent, but in the faraway West Buddha State. Gao Zhengyang was not in a hurry to get it, but compared to the Vermillion Bird Saber, he realized that the Dragon King Halberd could not be delayed.
He could not be complacent just because he had defeated the East Continent. There were still the West Buddha State, the North Ice State, and the South Spirit State. Who knew how many experts there were in the other three states. It was a little arrogant to call himself the strongest in the human world!
It was a pity that the West Buddha State did not have a positioning array or Divine Weapon. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to tear the void and travel billions of miles. Without a positioning array, he could only fly there slowly. Who knew how long that would take.
Gao Zhengyang decided to head to the West Buddha State after he settled the Fire Nation's matter. He could also settle the grudge with the West Buddha Sect. The distance was too far, so he could only discuss with the Pegasus Little Red.
Thinking of Little Red, Gao Zhengyang had a headache. Ever since he became a Sage, he rarely needed Little Red as a ride. They had not contacted each other for a few years, so it would definitely throw a tantrum.
"It's best to go to the West Buddha State on a white horse. Only then would it look like I'm going on a pilgrimage …"
Gao Zhengyang's thoughts ran wild for a while before he calmed himself and left the palace with the Vermillion Bird Saber.
There was no one around the palace, but there were many maids and eunuchs peeking at him from afar. However, no one dared to say anything.
Gao Zhengyang did not want to be the emperor, nor did he have the time to manage politics. He slowly rose into the air and took a look at the layout of the palace.
The Fire Nation Palace had been expanded and renovated for tens of thousands of years. The palace occupied thousands of acres and there were hundreds of thousands of palaces. The buildings were mainly red and gold, and the overall style was grand.
Looking down from above, the palace looked like a burning ball of fire. It was an irregular circle, and there were branches extending out from all directions. According to Gao Zhengyang's understanding of the palace, it was rare to see such an asymmetrical style. However, it was indeed very unique, and the design was also very beautiful.
More importantly, the entire palace was formed into a giant array, and the atmosphere was solemn and not to be underestimated.
If it weren't for the fact that Huo Tianxin was exhausted and could no longer control the Vermillion Bird Saber, Gao Zhengyang would not have been able to easily lock onto the position and enter the palace through the void.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the array was, without the core, the Vermillion Bird Saber could not unleash its power. The other members of the imperial family had either escaped a long time ago, or were hiding in their homes, trembling. No one dared to come out and activate the array.
At this moment, Gao Zhengyang stood high above the palace, looking down at the entire palace. However, no one dared to come out. He couldn't help but shake his head. It was said that the Fire Nation's imperial family loved to fight, and each of them was born brave. Facing a true powerhouse, they were nothing more than this.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Gao." Zhu Jinghong, dressed in a crimson red heavy armor, flew over from afar and stopped a few feet away from Gao Zhengyang. He bowed respectfully.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. This Zhu Jinghong was smart and brave enough to take the initiative to approach him.
"What do you think of this palace?" Gao Zhengyang suddenly asked.
Zhu Jinghong looked around and couldn't help but sigh. He had never stood in this position to look down at the entire palace. He thought for a moment, then carefully said: "This is the center of power of the Fire Nation, it is of great significance to the Fire Nation"
"What do you think of this saber?" Gao Zhengyang held the Vermillion Bird Saber horizontally and asked with a smile.
Zhu Jinghong faintly guessed what Gao Zhengyang was thinking. His heart immediately tensed up, he felt his throat dry and his forehead sweating. But at this crucial moment, no matter what, he couldn't show any fear. Even if he had to pretend, he had to pretend in a way that satisfied Gao Zhengyang.
He tried to calm down and said seriously: "This saber is the Fire Nation's guardian divine weapon, it is of great significance"
Gao Zhengyang asked again: "This palace and the saber are both yours, do you dare to take it?"
Ten thousand miles of land, endless power, Gao Zhengyang is going to give it to him just like that?
No matter how calm Zhu Jinghong was, he couldn't remain calm at this moment. His heart was in a mess, the expression on his face was even more uncertain. His forehead was dripping with sweat, he clearly wanted to but didn't dare to open his mouth.
For a moment, he was actually in an abnormally sorry state.
Just as Gao Zhengyang was about to lose his patience, Zhu Jinghong suddenly made up his mind and said in a low voice: "I am willing to follow Sect Leader Gao until death, I will only follow your lead, I will not dare to have any second thoughts. If I go back on my word, may the heavens and earth destroy me. "
Gao Zhengyang smiled, this Zhu Jinghong is really a smart person. His courage is just a little bit lacking. He didn't dare to accept it. Actually, he wasn't trying to test anything.
Even if the Fire Nation was at its peak, he could still destroy it if he was unhappy. Not to mention the current situation. But, the Fire Nation still has tens of billions of people, vast land, abundant resources, and abundant resources. Such a huge country, there must be order, there must be someone to manage it.
Gao Zhengyang naturally couldn't handle the complicated government affairs, he also didn't have any intention of being the overlord. But handing the Fire Nation over to Zhu Jinghong was obviously a better way to carry out his intentions.
"You are also a smart person, I will leave the Fire Nation to you. Don't let me down … "
Gao Zhengyang stretched out his hand, and Zhu Jinghong's body trembled, a wave of hot blood uncontrollably shot out from his body, landing on the blade of the Vermillion Bird Saber.
Gao Zhengyang wiped the blade, forcibly injecting Zhu Jinghong's blood into the Vermillion Bird Saber. He simply left Zhu Jinghong's imprint on the Vermillion Bird Saber.
Zhu Jinghong actually also has the bloodline of the Fire Nation's royal family, but his bloodline is mixed, so he originally didn't have the right to control the Vermillion Bird Saber. This imprint that Gao Zhengyang forcefully left on the Vermillion Bird Saber would allow him to control the Vermillion Bird Saber for a short period of time, and together with the corresponding spell formation, Zhu Jinghong could become the owner of the Vermillion Bird Saber.
"Take this saber and exterminate the Fire Nation's royal family, and you will be able to eliminate all future troubles."
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "As for how to govern the country, I don't think I need to tell you."
Zhu Jinghong was a little frightened, but his eyes quickly became determined. If he wanted to control the Fire Nation, the royal family could not be left alive. Furthermore, he had no other way out. Either he died, or he ascended to the throne.
"Sect Leader Gao, don't worry, I know what to do," Zhu Jinghong said loudly. He thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "Sect Leader Gao, your martial arts are peerless, and I have great respect for you. I want to become your disciple, please accept me. "
Zhu Jinghong knew that his foundation was still too shallow. He had to suck up to Gao Zhengyang. He was older than Gao Zhengyang by more than two hundred years, but he had to put down his pride and become his disciple. With such a master, he would be much more confident. He could also bring the relationship between them closer. If something really happened, as his master, Gao Zhengyang wouldn't be able to just stand by and watch, right?
Gao Zhengyang was a little amused. This Zhu Jinghong's mind was really lively. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll be an unofficial disciple."
"Master, please accept a bow from your disciple."
Zhu Jinghong immediately knelt down and performed three kowtows and nine bows.
The scene of him becoming a disciple in the void was also clearly seen by all the powerful cultivators. Everyone understood that from now on, the Fire Nation would be surnamed Zhu.
