However.
This feeling didn't last long before Qin Shujian had to withdraw.
There was no other reason but because Du Chengwu was giving him more and more pressure.
At this time.
He had also taken out his final trump card.
Twenty-seven square array discs appeared in the sky like stars falling to the earth. In an instant, a large array had been formed.
The combination of twenty-seven half-step Taoist array discs, coupled with the activation of the array engraved on them, was more terrifying than a three-seal Taoist artifact.
In the array, twenty-seven stars swayed.
Thousands of rainbow lights bombarded down, vowing to kill Du Chengwu.
"Array!"
Du Chengwu's face was solemn. The array in front of him was different from the array he had encountered just now. Its power was many levels higher.
Therefore, when the rainbow lights bombarded.
He also broke the sky with his fist and destroyed all the rainbow lights with a strong posture.
Then.
Du Chengwu took a step into the air and rushed toward the stars in the sky.
However, when he was about to approach the stars, the void twisted and changed.
The distance between them, which was originally not that far, suddenly widened by a long distance.
In the middle of the array eye.
Qin Shujian's Divine Sense covered the entire array and the changes of the array were all under his control.
"Du Chengwu, this array was set up by me with twenty-seven half-step Taoist artifacts. Even if your strength is great, you can't break out of it in a short time!"
Originally, he didn't intend to expose this trump card so quickly.
After all, it was not easy to refine the array discs.
If there was any damage, he would have to find something to repair it.
Qin Shujian prepared this trump card to deal with other cultivators. He never thought that he would use it against Du Chengwu, who was at the peak of the Saint realm.
However —
Now that the other party was going to fight to the death, there was no need to hide it.
The array changed, and all the mysteries were like a flash in the pan. The moment it dissipated, it turned into a terrifying killing intent.
Du Chengwu's Divine Sense spread out. Every time he punched, the array trembled slightly.
"So what if your array formation is profound? You're still far from being able to defeat me with this array formation."
"Why should I defeat you? This place is not far from the imperial city. Guess who will arrive first, the experts of the imperial court or the experts of your rebels?"
Qin Shujian sneered and said disdainfully.
"Moreover, the army is now approaching the Imperial City. I'm afraid that even if the other dukes see this, they might not be willing to help. After all, you're more useful to them now that you're dead."
Hearing this.
Du Chengwu looked calm on the surface, but his heart sank.
He understood the meaning of Qin Shujian's words.
Now that the Great Zhao's power had been greatly reduced, there was no longer a need for the alliance of the seven vassals.
On the contrary.
However, Great Zhao was currently lacking manpower.
As a result, even if the experts of the Great Zhao Dynasty arrived, the experts of the other alliances might not come.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian continued, "I'm only here because of the imperial court's invitation. I don't have any intention of fighting to the death for the imperial court. Why do we have to end up in an internecine situation and let others benefit from it?"
"Why don't we stop here? You go your way, and I'll go mine. Let's forget about this matter."
In the end.
A kind smile appeared on Qin Shujian's face. He looked sincere.
To tell the truth.
He really didn't want to fight Du Chengwu to the death right now.
In the end, it was because his strength was too weak.
Even if the formation was set up, it could only stop the other party for a short while. It did not have the ability to completely surround and kill the other party. Otherwise, why would Qin Shujian waste time talking nonsense with Du Chengwu?
As for what he said just now, he wasn't trying to scare him.
This was the truth.
If Du Chengwu was determined to fight to the death, there would only be two results.
One was to break the formation and kill him before the experts of the imperial court arrived.
The other was that the experts of the imperial court arrived before the formation was broken and then joined forces to kill Du Chengwu.
After all, the imperial court was determined to kill Du Chengwu if he was alone.
At this moment.
It would definitely end with one side being defeated and killed.
Du Chengwu was silent for a while before he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."
In order to show his sincerity, he restrained his strength.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian also stopped the formation attack.
"Remove the formation and let me out. This matter is over for now. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I won't show any mercy." Du Chengwu said coldly.
In response.
Qin Shujian also smiled, but the killing intent in his smile was awe-inspiring. "So do I. I hope you won't be killed by me when we meet again."
"It's good to be confident, but overconfidence is arrogance."
Du Chengwu's eyelids drooped as he replied indifferently.
Then, the scene fell silent.
Obviously, the two sides had nothing to say.
Seeing this.
Qin Shujian waved his hand and opened a hole in the formation. The defensive power of the formation immediately quieted down.
At this moment.
Du Chengwu suddenly burst out with a punch that crushed the void and blasted toward Qin Shujian.
This scene.
Qin Shujian didn't panic at all. Instead, he seemed to have expected it. The original hole in the formation changed and turned into a blade energy that was hundreds of feet long and slashed out.
"Rumble!"
The battle broke out in an instant.
"My heart illuminates the moon, but the moon illuminates the ditch!" Qin Shujian shook his head and sighed, but his face was frighteningly cold.
"Even if I kill you, I can still leave!"
"Then let's wait and see!"
Feeling Du Chengwu's determination to kill, Qin Shujian's killing intent was also awe-inspiring.
Since Du Chengwu wanted to fight to the death, he would accompany him to the end.
The only thing he had to worry about now was whether Wu Lang was reliable or not.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The battle between the two had reached a white-hot stage. Qin Shujian covered the formation with his Divine Thought and kept consuming his own strength to maintain the operation of the formation.
Du Chengwu, on the other hand, burst out with powerful attacks and kept crashing into the formation.
The stars formed by the twenty-seven square formation plates were swaying wildly. The Spirit Stones inlaid in the formation plates were now almost exhausted.
Not only that.
Under the constant bombardment, even the formation plates, which were half-step Taoist artifacts, showed signs of being unable to bear at this moment. There were faint cracks in the formation plates.
"Boom!"
Du Chengwu threw another punch. Du Chengwu suddenly said, "Let's stop now. If we continue to fight, you will definitely lose!"
"Lose my ass. You still want to leave now? Don't even think about it!"
Qin Shujian cursed and his eyes were a little red.
After paying such a big loss, Du Chengwu still wanted to leave.
Don't think that he didn't know that there were several powerful auras approaching.
Qin Shujian could guarantee with his head that they were definitely from the imperial court.
Du Chengwu wanted to leave when he saw that his helpers were coming. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
So.
Du Chengwu's words were no different from farts in Qin Shujian's ears.
In the outside world.
Several auras were constantly approaching.
Dan Hao was the first to rush to the battlefield.
Behind him were experts from the Imperial Astronomer.
Just as Qin Shujian thought, after Wu Lang escaped, he immediately rushed to the imperial city to inform Qin Shujian. The news that Du Chengwu was chasing after Qin Shujian also spread in an instant.
For Xi Yang, the battle strength of every Celestial Being was indispensable.
So.
The first thing he did was to send experts over to help.
However, in Xi Yang's heart, he was not sure if Qin Shujian could hold on until then.
Even though Wu Lang said that Du Chengwu had already become a Celestial Being, he was still not sure.
Because Du Chengwu was not an ordinary Celestial Being, but a peak Saint who was close to becoming a Half-Step Mighty Figure.
As for Dan Hao.
After receiving the order, he rushed over without stopping.
He had a good impression of Qin Shujian.
If possible, Dan Hao did not want Du Chengwu to die in his hands.
However …
In his heart, his opinion was similar to Xi Yang's. He was afraid that Du Chengwu would not be able to hold on until they arrived.
However.
When Dan Hao felt that there were still powerful fluctuations spreading in front of him, he was relieved.
Since they were still fighting, it meant that things had not reached the point of no return.
With that thought in mind.
Dan Hao's speed increased by several notches.
At this moment.
In the void in front of him, thousands of formation patterns exploded and finally gathered into a shocking slash.
"Du Chengwu, go to hell!"
Qin Shujian held the saber with both hands and the star acupoints in his body exploded. At the same time, he absorbed the vast Spirit Qi that erupted when the formation was broken and finally made the strongest slash in history.
Boom!!
The shocking saber slashed down and Du Chengwu retreated quickly.
"Du Chengwu, don't think you can escape!"
Dan Hao just arrived. He did not have time to figure out what had happened. He only shot out a spear in the air and smashed toward Du Chengwu with a force that could shatter mountains and seas.
"Dan! Hao! "Du Chengwu was shocked and furious.
However, he had just endured Qin Shujian's life-risking slash and his Qi and blood had been shaken a lot.
At this moment, facing Dan Hao's spear, he could not resist for a while.
Puff!
Du Chengwu took the spear head-on and his body was directly sent flying by the terrifying force. When he was in the air, his body cracked and blood splashed like raindrops.
However.
He took advantage of the momentum of flying and turned into a stream of light to escape.
His speed of escape was even faster than when he was chasing after Qin Shujian.
Seeing this.
Dan Hao could only look at him in the dust and had to give up the idea of chasing him.
At this moment, his attention fell on Qin Shujian.
Sect Master Qin was not in a good state now. The flesh on his arm was cracked and his Qi and blood were unstable. However, the surging battle intent was not extinguished at all.
"How is Sect Master Qin's injury?"
"Fortunately, it's not a big deal. Fortunately, General Dan came in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been defeated." Qin Shujian shook his head and looked at the scattered fragments of the array disc. His breathing stagnated a little.
Gone.
Everything was gone.
Twenty-seven cubic meters of half-step Dao Artifact array disc and eighty-one Spirit Stones were all gone.
The half-step Dao Artifact was still okay. It was just some luck points and he still had a lot of them.
However, even Yuan Zong did not have many ninth-level materials to refine the array disc.
More importantly.
The Spirit Stones that accompanied the array disc's shattering were what made his heart ache.
He had just obtained a hundred Spirit Stones from Wu Lang and 81 of them were gone. No matter how he thought about it, his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
On the surface.
Qin Shujian's expression changed again and again. Then, he revealed a miserable look.
Seeing this, Dan Hao was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Sect Master Qin, have you suffered any serious internal injuries? Please follow me back to the Imperial City and get the imperial doctor to treat you!"
"I'm fine."
Qin Shujian took a few deep breaths and squeezed out an ugly smile. "If you can give me a hundred Spirit Stones, I should be able to recover."
"…"
Dan Hao ignored the latter part of his words.
At this moment.
The experts from the Imperial Astronomer had finally arrived.
Dan Hao immediately changed the topic and looked at the people from the Imperial Astronomer. "Du Chengwu escaped with injuries, but Sect Master Qin suffered some injuries. Let's return to the Imperial City first!"
"Okay!"
The people from the Imperial Astronomer looked at each other and nodded.
Du Chengwu had left. Now, the most important thing was to return to the Imperial City.
Dan Hao turned to look at Qin Shujian and asked, "Sect Master Qin, can you still fly?"
"It's okay. I won't die."
Qin Shujian rolled his eyes at him. He had seen through Dan Hao.
Stingy!
He was really stingy.
The loss this time was equivalent to the reward given by the imperial court for nothing.
In this way.
It was no different from working for free.
Thinking of this, Qin Shujian almost choked in his heart.
But it was obviously unrealistic to expect the imperial court to pay the bill.
At this moment.
He followed Dan Hao and the others and flew towards the Imperial City. The star acupoints in his body that had exploded were now reopened one by one as time passed.
For a Celestial Being.
As long as it was not a fatal injury, it could be healed by itself.
And with the characteristics of the Star Manifestation Body, Qin Shujian's physical body was stronger than ordinary Celestial Beings. His healing ability was even stronger.
"Sect Master Qin, I didn't expect you to break through to the Celestial Being Realm so quickly. It really makes me feel ashamed."
In the air, Dan Hao let out a sigh.
This was the Celestial Being Realm.
Thinking back to the first time he saw Qin Shujian, the other party was only a Spirit Martial Realm cultivator. Although he used many Dao artifacts to set up a powerful formation and severely injured an evil demon.
But at that time, he still saw the other party in his eyes.
A Formation Dao Grand Master was strong.
But it was not easy to match a Celestial Being.
But now it was different. Qin Shujian had broken through to the Celestial Being Realm, which immediately raised Dan Hao's opinion by several levels.
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just luck. Now it's easy to break through to the Celestial Being Realm, but it's hard to say if I want to go further in the future."
"Haha, Sect Master Qin is too modest."
A strange light flashed in Dan Hao's eyes.
It had long been confirmed that Qin Shujian was the reincarnation of a mighty figure.
Now, from the other party's words, he heard some hidden meaning.
He was able to break through to the Celestial Being Realm because of the foundation left behind in his previous life. Now that the foundation was exhausted, he could not improve his realm so quickly in the future.
For this.
Dan Hao also somewhat believed it.
After all, no matter how strong the foundation of a reincarnation of a mighty figure was, it could not be endless.
Now, it was already incredible that the other party could break through to the Celestial Being Realm in such a short time.
Just as the two of them were talking.
A vast imperial city appeared in Qin Shujian's sight.
Faint yellow clouds appeared in the sky.
That was the transformation from nothingness to reality when the luck was rich to the extreme.
Seeing this, Qin Shujian also secretly took a breath.
"The luck is visible to the naked eye. What kind of tyrannical luck is this to reach this step?!"
The current luck of the Origin Sect was already prosperous enough.
But even so.
It was not qualified to reach the point where the luck directly appeared like the imperial city.
For others who had not seen the luck, the yellow clouds above the imperial city were more like a vision, showing the extraordinariness of the imperial court.
But for people who had some understanding of luck.
They could understand.
How shocking the scene in front of them was.
The fluctuations in Qin Shujian's heart also attracted Dan Hao's attention. He could not help but ask, "Is something the matter, Sect Master Qin?"
"Nothing, I am just shocked by the luck of the imperial city."
Qin Shujian came back to his senses and smiled, shaking his head and saying, "The luck of the Great Zhao Nation is really vast and endless. No wonder it was able to rule the world for thousands of years. If one did not come to the imperial city, they would not have the chance to see such a scene."
"Haha, Sect Master Qin is too kind."
Dan Hao laughed.
He only treated Qin Shujian's words as flattery.
However.
The experts of the Imperial Astronomer all looked at each other and saw some thought-provoking meaning in each other's eyes.
This Sect Master Qin could affect the luck of the nation.
That was a little interesting.
Qin Shujian did not say much on this topic.
The luck of the nation was flourishing in the imperial city, but they could see a blood cloud clashing with it.
That was the killing of the military.
It also showed that the Great Zhao Nation was currently in the midst of war.
Not long later.
They directly entered the imperial city.
One of the experts of the Imperial Astronomer said, "General Dan, Sect Master Qin, we still need to go back and report. We will leave first."
"Take care!" Dan Hao cupped his hands.
At the side, Qin Shujian also cupped his hands symbolically.
Then, the experts of the Imperial Astronomer left.
After the experts of the Imperial Astronomer left, Dan Hao said, "Originally, Sect Master Qin should have gone to see His Majesty. But now that Sect Master Qin has been injured, I will take you to the residence to rest.
We will talk about the rest after Sect Master Qin's injuries have healed. "
"Then I will have to trouble you."
Qin Shujian did not refuse.
In his current state, he indeed needed to rest for a while.
Although the self-healing ability of a Diviner was very strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was impossible to truly recover in an instant.
Not to mention.
The injuries on his body were left behind from his fight with Du Chengwu.
Zhou Tian's star aperture had exploded and was already in a mess. Even though it had already recovered a lot, it was still not much better.
As a result.
Qin Shujian's strength was already in a subtle state.
Soon.
Dan Hao brought Qin Shujian to a residence.
Looking at the plaque in front of the residence, Qin Shujian also understood where he was. "Bright Vision General's Residence!"
"Sect Master Qin's injuries have not healed yet. Since Du Chengwu is so eager to kill you, maybe the other rebels have other ideas. My Bright Vision General's Residence is not a dragon's pool or tiger's den.
But it will not allow any small fries to invade. "
Dan Hao's eyes were cold as he said with hidden killing intent.
Qin Shujian asked, "Is there anyone who dares to assassinate in the Imperial City?"
"In the past, there was naturally no one, but in the current situation, it's hard to say …" Dan Hao shook his head helplessly. There was some worry between his brows.
While the two were talking.
The guards guarding the door had consciously opened the door and then retreated to the side.
"Greetings, Master!"
When Dan Hao and Qin Shujian walked in, an old housekeeper came to greet them.
"Master!"
"This is Qin Shujian, Sect Master Qin. Arrange a quiet place for him to rest. Don't let anyone disturb him." Dan Hao said and looked at Qin Shujian again.
"Sect Master Qin, you should rest today. If you need anything, just let the servants know. I'm afraid I have to go to the imperial court today, so I can't receive you for the time being."
"General Dan, you can take care of yourself."
Qin Shujian smiled and then left behind the old housekeeper.
Bright Vision General's Residence was very big.
At least, only the Marquis Residence in Zong Yang City could be compared to it.
Apart from that.
There were many experts in the General's Residence.
In Qin Shujian's perception, there were no less than three or four experts at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.
There were also many experts below the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.
The strength of the General's Residence alone was enough to be on par with or even better than a major sect in a large territory.
The old housekeeper led Qin Shujian through many twists and turns before finally arriving at a quiet courtyard. Only then did he stop and turn around to speak respectfully.
"Sect Master Qin, you can rest in this courtyard. The servants have already cleaned it up. There are also guards and servants in front of the courtyard. If you need anything, just let them know."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Sect Master Qin, you're angry. You're Master's friend, so you're naturally an important guest. How could I dare to neglect you?" The old housekeeper's tone was as respectful as ever.
Although the Prime Minister was a seventh-grade official.
But it also depended on who he was dealing with.
For ordinary people, a housekeeper in Bright Vision General's Residence was not someone they could offend casually.
But at the same time.
In front of someone of noble status, a servant was always a servant.
Judging from Dan Hao's attitude towards Qin Shujian.
The old housekeeper knew that the other party's identity was definitely not that simple.
Even some of the officials in the imperial court might not be able to make Dan Hao be so polite. And Qin Shujian's faintly discernible aura made people tremble.
This was an expert!
An expert with a cultivation base that had reached the peak of perfection.
To be able to be the housekeeper of Bright Vision General's Residence, his strength was not weak at all. He could be considered a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm.
As a result.
It could also make him feel a great deal of pressure.
Other than the great cultivator of Heaven Realm, there was no other existence.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian walked into the courtyard. There were two beautiful maids standing on his left and right.
After seeing someone come in, the two of them bowed and said delicately, "Servant greets Lord!"
"En!"
Qin Shujian's eyes did not waver as he walked towards the room.
The two maids immediately straightened up and opened the door to the left and right.
Just as Qin Shujian entered, the two of them were about to follow him in. However, just as they were about to step in, a sentence sounded in their ears.
"All of you can leave. I prefer silence. I don't want too many people to disturb me!"
"Yes!"
The two maids looked a little disappointed, but they quickly recovered and respectfully left.
When they left, they even considerately closed the door.
On the other side.
After Qin Shujian briefly sized up the room's environment, he did not immediately enter the healing state.
Instead, he first set up a simple formation around him, then sat cross-legged on the bed and silently healed his body's injuries.
