This was the power of the Cultivation Realm.
Those below the Cultivation Realm all used Yuan Qi. Although Yan Chaoyang had comprehended the "Truth of Martial Arts", he had not become a Perfected Person. Compared with the Genuine Qi, which represented the power of the Star Sea, the gap was huge.
Qu Youfeng's eyes turned to Yan Li. The barrier had been removed. Next, he could go back to sleep after killing him.
"It's a pity. I thought there was one more person in this world who could understand even numbers. Symmetry is the most perfect form, just like Yin and Yang, male and female, heaven and earth."
He walked over slowly and put his palms together in the shape of a knife.
Everyone in the world knew that Qu Youfeng was Zhang Dashan's disciple, but he had created a knife palm technique, which made him on the Asura List. His palms were one of the best weapons in the world. Even if it was a third-grade Martial Grade Precious Weapon, he dared to fight it head-on.
The onlookers, including the Judicial Department's court officers who were watching from afar, felt pity, joy, excitement, indifference, and so on.
Shen Liuyun's beautiful eyes showed a bit of complexity, but she did not say anything to stop him.
Yan Li seemed to feel something. He turned his head and roared with a ferocious face, "Get out of my way! You stinky monkey with no hair on your head! Who can tell me what that damn thing is? "
"You've become a devil. It seems that you have to die." Qu Youfeng's body flashed, and his knife palm went straight to Yan Li's neck.
"Didn't I tell you to get out of my way?" Yan Li's eyes were cold. Sword light flashed, and the power of death hatred suddenly boiled.
Qu Youfeng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly withdrew his palm to defend.
"Roar!"
An inhuman roar exploded in the void, and the sword light hit Qu Youfeng.
"Boom!"
A gray light exploded in the void, blocking everyone's sight.
Qu Youfeng flew out from the light. His body was covered with a full body armor, which looked as fierce as dragon scales. However, his face, which was the only part that was exposed, looked very pale.
"Tian Ling!" Jiang Chang Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. "Supervisor, what happened?"
The Celestial Chestnut was Qu Youfeng's Prized Artifact. It was a rare armor-shaped item. Normally, it would be hidden within his body. In times of danger, it would appear to protect him with just a thought.
Shen Liuyun's eyes sparkled. She was a little surprised and a little worried.
Li Yong's eyes flickered as he said with an indescribable meaning, "Hey! It seems that there are many people crazier than me in this world, to actually provoke such a little monster. "
Qu Youfeng landed on the ground, his eyes sharp and his aura surging.
Now, Floating Prajna's voice resounded from afar, "Wait a moment, Supervisor. Young Master Yan has already gained the upper hand."
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw that the battle between the purple sword shadow and the black dragon in the sky had indeed reached a climax. The sword shadow was getting stronger and stronger, and the black dragon was losing in terms of fighting spirit and was at a disadvantage.
"No, you can't do this to me! I don't want to go back!" One of Yan Li's eyes was filled with terror, while the other flickered with the purple sword shadow.
Now, the purple sword shadow coiled up in the sky, abruptly rising into the air like an Azure Dragon emerging from the water. A clear and resounding sword cry resounded. The originally indistinct cries of swords and sabers suddenly became clear and pleasing to the ear, as if they were right by the ear. Those cries were like stars surrounding the moon, as if responding to the call of a king, transforming into numerous shooting stars that streaked across the night sky.
Everyone involuntarily raised their heads, staring dazedly at this scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Li Yong and Jiang Chang Tian almost lost their grip on the weapons in their hands, hurriedly withdrawing them into their bodies. Only then did they sever the connection. Still, they could not help but exchange shocked glances, each seeing the answer in the other's eyes.
Countless shooting stars, like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix, converged on the purple sword shadow in the sky, causing it to expand and expand again and again. The cries of the sword grew louder and louder, until it became unbearably heavy. It fell down, like a hot knife through butter, breaking through the tide of resentment and slashing the giant black dragon into ashes.
All the strange phenomena vanished in an instant. The tide of resentment melted like ice and snow. Yan Li's eyes gradually regained clarity, the curse mark on his forehead disappearing unwillingly. His skin color also returned to normal. He fell limply to the ground, clearly not fully conscious.
Ruan Tianhe had woken up at some point. He spat out a few words in disbelief, "Divine Weapon, First Grade Sword Master."
"Not necessarily," Jiang Chang Tian said. "Ever since cultivators appeared in the world, no one has ever seen a First Grade True Name. It's all just a legend."
There were only a few words about a First Grade True Name. No one knew what it represented.
Qu Youfeng frowned, but he did not care about the First Grade True Name. He wanted to kill Yan Li on the spot.
"Please show mercy, Lord Supervisor." The Buddha Wisdom Diagram leaped down from the roof and said softly, "His Majesty has always been looking for this person."
"The mission I received is to kill Yan Li. I don't care about anything else!" Qu Youfeng was expressionless.
"Stop!" Shen Liuyun suddenly shouted.
Qu Youfeng paused and turned back to look at her. "A mission is a mission."
"I don't care what the mission is. You can't kill him!" Shen Liuyun seemed to be somewhat agitated.
Jiang Changtian and Ruan Tianhe were flabbergasted. They did not know what she had done wrong. They had known her for many years, but they had never seen her lose her composure like this.
Shen Liuyun seemed to have noticed her loss of composure. She calmed her breathing and said, "A First Grade True Name is a valuable research material. We might be able to dig out more secrets about true names from it. That's why we can't kill him."
"Hmph!" Qu Youfeng did not listen at all.
Shen Liuyun suddenly rushed forward and blocked Yan Li. She said coldly, "Qu Youfeng, have you forgotten my identity? When did Senior Brother ever teach you to disobey a senior? "
As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked. What did she mean?
Qu Youfeng's expression changed drastically. He said in a low voice, "Junior Uncle, how can you do this! Didn't you say that you would save me some face in front of others? "
"Then why don't you get lost?" Shen Liuyun said coldly.
Qu Youfeng resentfully turned his eyes to Yan Chaoyang. He had to kill someone to complete his mission.
"That won't do either!" Shen Liuyun said coldly.
"I will tell Master that this is your idea!" Qu Youfeng turned around and left indignantly.
No one knew what they were whispering about, but as Qu Youfeng left, the long and chaotic night finally passed.
Shen Liuyun arranged for Yan Li to be sent to the Resentful Yuan Tower. However, under Li Yong's insistence, he was bound with thick bracelets and ankles to prevent him from escaping. As for Yan Chaoyang, he was imprisoned by the Judicial Department.
Coupled with the interrogations of the suspects captured by Silver Moon Villa, as well as the aftermath, they were kept busy until the evening of the next day.
By the time they entered the palace to report, the sky was about to turn dark.
Ji Zhiyuan had been waiting for a long time in Purple Imperial Hall. Her expression was calm as she looked at Shen Liuyun and said, "Yan Li must die."
"No, he cannot die," Shen Liuyun said.
Ji Zhiyuan frowned slightly, "Why?"
Shen Liuyun had thought of many excuses along the way, but when she heard the question, she suddenly couldn't say a single word. She could only shake her head.
"You should have been more sensible than We," In front of everyone, she carried her usual imperial dignity.
Floating Wisdom Diagram said softly, "The first true name that appeared in the records previously was Young Master Yan."
Ji Zhiyuan shook her head, saying, "It is already too late."
Shen Liuyun bit her lip and said, "Are you determined to do this?"
Ji Zhiyuan looked at her seriously and said, "A debt must be repaid, a life for a life. This is the principle of heaven and earth. Zhan Mu has followed us for many years and has always been loyal and devoted. I still remember when we had just ascended the throne a few years ago, he could have had a greater future, but he was willing to hide for us, becoming a secret agent that no one cared about. If we hadn't misjudged him, how could he have died? We owe him this life. Either Yan Li dies, or … "
She paused, then said resolutely, "Let us return it."
Shen Liuyun's face suddenly paled.
Everyone's expression changed greatly. Li Yong said, "This humble subject will be bold to say something. The wound on Lord Zhan's body is consistent with a precious artifact leaving the cliff. There is no doubt that Yan Li killed someone. Your Majesty, please issue a decree. Tomorrow, at three quarters past noon, this subject is willing to supervise the execution!"
Jiang Changtian muttered, "Seconded."
Ruan Tianhe chuckled and said, "Seconded."
"Up to you." Shen Liuyun suddenly calmed down. She bowed lightly and left without a word.
Ji Zhiyuan glanced at Jiang Changtian and said lightly, "The decree has been drafted. It will be at noon tomorrow. We do not wish for any accidents. Go watch her. If she does anything foolish, you will not be spared!"
Jiang Changtian groaned inwardly, but he had no choice but to accept. He said, "As you command!"
"Your Majesty, Li Sheren requests an audience." At this moment, a green-robed eunuch entered.
"Send him in." Ji Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Li Sheren, dressed in a scarlet robe, quickly walked in and paid his respects before saying, "Your Majesty, there is news from Louyue County. Last night, Old Master Xiao Yueming of Changping Xiao Clan appeared at Lonemoon Restaurant and exchanged three blows with Yan Shiyi."
Ji Zhiyuan's heart stirred. "What was the outcome?"
"The outcome has not been decided, but …" Li Sheren paused.
"But what? Speak quickly."
"But before Xiao Yueming left, he evaluated him as the number one saber in the world," Li Sheren said softly.
"Has he gone senile?" Li Yong mocked disdainfully, "Yan Shiyi is but a kid still wet behind the ears. How capable could he be to dare call himself the number one saber in the world?"
Jiang Changtian's expression was also somewhat ugly as he said, "Yan Shiyi is not the only saber expert."
Li Sheren said softly, "Old Master is already past his seventy-first birthday. He has dominated the Asura List for many years and won't come to a conclusion so easily. Back then, the Asura List set the eleventh rank for Yan Shiyi, partly because of his illustrious achievements and partly because of his age. But I'm afraid that is no longer the case. According to this humble servant's conjecture, his saber is capable of fighting anyone on the Asura List, which is why Old Master Xiao gave such an evaluation. "
Ruan Tianhe sneered. "So what? Does he dare to rob the execution ground? "
"Report!"
