The Confucian Sect's Expansive Heavenly Energy seemed gentle, but it was actually extremely ferocious.
On the outside, it was moderate and gentle, but on the inside, it was tenacious and fierce.
The combination of toughness and gentleness, and when it was used, the Expansive Heavenly Spirit was like a body of righteousness. As a result, there were countless people in the cultivation world who liked to cultivate Confucianism.
There were many Confucian experts in the Divine Capital.
There were also many Confucian experts who were officials in the palace.
Among the eight great commanders, Su Sheng and Gu Yiran were experts of the Confucian Sect.
Gu Yiran obeyed the Emperor's orders and would either succeed or die trying. Emperor Yong Shou conquered the foreign races and stabilized the golden age.
For the world, for Great Yan, for the people of Daybreak … Gu Yiran would never allow anyone to interfere with His Majesty's mission.
…
When the Expansive Heavenly Dipper erupted, a buzzing sound rang out.
He was surrounded by runic energy seals.
The scripts and energy seals were densely packed. In an instant, they formed a long line that spun at will and formed a long dragon!
"Seal Golden Dragon!"
With a loud roar, a huge seal golden dragon soared into the sky.
Huang Shijie's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth. He raised his arms with all his might and unleashed an energy seal that formed a circular wall.
Boom!
The runic seal's golden dragon's first strike shattered the energy seal wall. Huang Shijie had no choice but to retreat.
The golden dragon seal continued to attack!
At this time, it was all about life.
The slightest carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.
Gu Yiran rode on his golden dragon and struck out with both palms.
The seal golden dragon charged at Huang Shijie for the second time.
The eyes of the golden dragon were huge characters in the seal script.
Huang Shijie frowned. He folded his palms and blocked again.
"Huang Shijie, you've been tricked!"
The golden dragon seal split into two and attacked Huang Shijie from the left and right.
The two golden seal dragons attacked at the same time.
"Not good!"
Bang!
By the time Huang Shijie parted his palms, it was already too late. Before the energy seals on his palms could be unleashed, they struck the dragon's head.
His arms were hit, and he was sent flying.
Huang Shijie endured the pain and staggered to the ground.
Gu Yiran nodded in satisfaction. The golden dragon circled around his body.
"Island Lord Huang, is that all you've got?"
"Gu Yiran, Brother Ji is already at the Nine-leaf stage. Why are you so stubborn?" Huang Shijie advised.
"Old fool … If His Majesty wasn't confident, why would he step into the tiger's den so easily?"
"Liu Ge is a Nine-leaf cultivator as well?" Huang Shijie asked in shock.
"There can't be a Nine-leaf cultivator in the world … Nine-leaf cultivators are not allowed to exist. I've said what I need to say. It's time to send you on your way! "
Gu Yiran did not waste any more time.
The seal and the golden dragon merged into one.
The golden dragon danced wildly as it approached Huang Shijie's face.
"This old man is not someone who fears death!" Huang Shijie's Primal Qi burst forth.
Just as Huang Shijie was about to block the attack with all his might —
Swoosh.
A crisp voice came from above.
The sound was too unique, easily attracting the attention of the two.
In the sky, a jade-like blade spun and fell.
At first, it was unremarkable.
However, the speed of the blade was astonishing. The wind brought about by the blade's rotation was different from that of ordinary weapons.
Most importantly, the saber's target was the huge golden dragon seal.
Just as it was about to touch the runic dragon, the saber suddenly unleashed a windmill-like saber aura!
Chi!
He cut open the golden dragon with a single slash.
The golden dragon was split into two and instantly lost its momentum. The talisman shattered like glass and fell to the ground.
Puff!
The backlash from the seal's golden dragon pushed Gu Yiran back.
Gu Yiran's expression changed slightly. He retreated more than a dozen steps before he stomped on the ground. Bam!
With the help of his feet, he managed to stabilize himself.
Gu Yiran was shocked as he looked at the saber.
The saber cut open the golden dragon seal. It spun twice before it plunged into the ground with a crisp sound.
The sunlight shone on the saber's blade. Anyone with the slightest bit of insight would know that this saber was extraordinary. The ability of a heaven-grade weapon to break energy had been around for a long time. There were only a handful of people in the world who could slay a dragon with a saber like this saber.
However, there was only one person who possessed such a jade-like blade.
At this moment, a name appeared in both of their minds at the same time: Yu Zhenghai.
The Evil Sky Pavilion's first disciple, the Sect Master of the Nether Sect, the Eight-leaf elite who was trying to trample all over the world!
Only Yu Zhenghai was capable of such a feat.
It could only be Yu Zhenghai!
Gu Yiran began to panic.
He could not help but look up at the sky.
It was as he wished.
Yu Zhenghai, who was dressed in long, navy blue robes, placed his hands on his back as he descended from the sky.
When he landed, he stomped on the ground.
Boom!
A ripple of energy spread out in all directions.
Zing!
The Jasper Saber was sent flying. It spun in the air and returned to Gu Yiran's palm.
Yu Zhenghai gripped the Jasper Saber tightly.
…
Gu Yiran gulped.
There were differences in strength even among Eight-leaf cultivators. Even one of his eight great generals felt his aura and cultivation base weakened when he encountered Yu Zhenghai.
He did not want to fight such a powerful enemy.
He did not want to meet such an elite.
Yu Zhenghai turned around slowly. His gaze fell on Gu Yiran as he said coldly, "Gu Yiran?"
"Yu … Yu Zhenghai?"
The moment Gu Yiran heard the name, Yu Zhenghai raised his hand and struck.
Bam!
Gu Yiran blocked with his arm and took three steps back.
Yu Zhenghai shook his head. "Eight great generals?"
"You … you …"
Yu Zhenghai struck again.
The palm imprint pushed forward and struck Gu Yiran's raised arms. Bam!
Gu Yiran took five steps back.
Yu Zhenghai's tone was dark as he said, "Are you challenging the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
"I … I …"
Yu Zhenghai struck again.
Boom!
Gu Yiran used the momentum from this strike to retreat. He stepped on air and turned around to flee.
'Run!'
From the moment Gu Yiran saw Yu Zhenghai, he knew it was impossible for him to win. Only by escaping would he be able to save his life.
He stepped on air with all his might and flew into the air.
His Eight-leaf avatar exuded a towering Expansive Energy.
"I haven't had my fill. How can I leave?!"
Yu Zhenghai swung his Jasper Saber.
The Jasper Saber shot out in a spiral. Its speed far surpassed Gu Yiran's.
Halfway through its flight, the Jasper Saber released a powerful energy that turned into a windmill.
The Great Dark Heaven Memorial, the Dark Heaven Starlight.
All the trees and plants within a radius of a hundred meters were chopped down.
At this moment, the Dark Heaven Starlight slashed past Gu Yiran's avatar.
Bam!
A gash appeared on the avatar.
Gu Yiran had no choice but to retract his avatar and land.
A horrified expression could be seen on his face. He turned around and looked warily at Yu Zhenghai who was advancing toward him.
"I don't want to fight you!" Gu Yiran said as he retreated.
"Do you think I'll stop fighting just because you said so?" Yu Zhenghai placed one hand on his back as he approached Gu Yiran.
Was this a joke?
Gu Yiran was one of the eight great generals, and Yu Zhenghai was the Sect Master of the Nether Sect. They were enemies. How could they not fight?
Gu Yiran said through gritted teeth.
"I admit that your cultivation base is higher than mine … However, if we fight to the death, you might not have the upper hand."
Yu Zhenghai looked at Gu Yiran like a wolf eyeing a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.
"Let's see."
Yu Zhenghai flicked his wrist.
Bam!
The Jasper Saber spun out.
Mountains and Rivers Saber!
Several energy sabers flew in irregular trajectories. It was a mystical and peculiar sight.
Gu Yiran did not expect Yu Zhenghai to attack so abruptly. His expression changed slightly. He joined his palms together, and the Expansive Heavenly Energy appeared.
At this moment.
Yu Zhenghai moved at lightning speed. His speed far surpassed the Jasper Saber.
Grand technique.
He appeared in front of Gu Yiran and struck with his palm.
Bam!
The palm seal struck Gu Yiran's chest. Puh!
Gu Yiran slid on the ground. His blood essence surged, and his breathing stagnated.
Bam! Gu Yiran crashed into a tree.
The Jasper Saber did not attack. Instead, it flew back into Yu Zhenghai's palm seal.
Gu Yiran pressed a hand to his chest. He looked at the Sect Master of the Nether Sect in disbelief. Yu Zhenghai's attack was ferocious, yet it was skillful and experienced.
Yu Zhenghai said, "As one of the eight great generals, aren't you ashamed to bully an old man?"
"…"
Gu Yiran wanted to say, 'I … I'm an old man too!'
Huang Shijie was slightly embarrassed by his words.
Yu Zhenghai advanced again.
Gu Yiran's eyes reddened as he said, "I'm just taking advantage of the situation."
"In that case, I'll let you make three moves." Yu Zhenghai spread his left hand and made a gesture of inviting Gu Yiran to make his move.
"Are you trying to humiliate me?" At this moment, Gu Yiran realized that Yu Zhenghai could have killed him as soon as he appeared. However, he did not do so.
"Mhm." Yu Zhenghai nodded.
"A scholar prefers death to humiliation."
"Some people aren't worthy of respect."
"Good … Good, good, good …" Gu Yiran kept saying good things. He was at his limit.
