The summer grass is like silk, and the southern mulberry is green.
When the husband returns, it's the day when the concubine is heartbroken.
If the spring breeze doesn't know each other, what's the point of entering Luohou?
Li Qiubai returned to Chang 'an. He faced the imperial city of Da Xia Kingdom, which was known as the greatest city in the Human Domain.
His expression was calm and tranquil as he looked into the city.
The people in the city looked up at the green-robed man outside the city.
Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes were red as she looked at the green-robed sword immortal who was truly angry for the first time in her life. She looked like a little girl who was angry, aggrieved, and worried.
She was worried because the current Prince Qing was so powerful that he was unstoppable.
Even if she had absolute trust in Li Qiubai, she did not dare to hope that he could make the current Prince Qing yield.
However, the Supreme One of the Grand Xia Dynasty, who was actually married to Li Qiubai in name and in reality, knew her 'husband's' temperament all too well.
A sword cultivator like him would not change his mind once he had decided on something.
"The sword immortal is late." The cultivators of Da Xia Kingdom who had fallen into despair because of Xia Xiaoxiao's answer were initially overjoyed when they saw someone arrive from beyond the heavens. However, they quickly calmed down and became extremely pessimistic. "If he'd come a quarter of an hour earlier and arrived in Chang 'an before Prince Qing became a Half-Ancestor, he might've been able to turn the tide …"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Prince Qing had slain a Mystique Venerable, and then became a Half-Ancestor.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a lot of things had been decided.
Everyone present felt a sense of loss and was in great pain.
"Now that Prince Qing has become a Half-Ancestor, what's the use of the sword immortal's arrival?"
Marquis Anxi looked at the green-robed man outside the city. His heart was filled with sorrow as well.
.....
Outside the city.
The green-robed sword immortal stood in the wind. His sleeves fluttered, and he stood out from the crowd.
Finally, Li Qiubai said, "We'll know if he's a sword immortal after we try."
His deep voice reverberated between heaven and earth. A spring breeze blew into the city.
In the outer city of Chang 'an, there was a wind chime hung by a child under the eaves of a three-sectioned house. At this moment, it was ringing incessantly.
However, only the sound of the wind chime could be heard, and the person who tied the bell was nowhere to be seen.
Prince Qing, who had been scheming in the Qing Province for ten thousand years and whose talent was at the top of the martial world, had just advanced to the Half Martial Ancestor level. He only smiled boldly and said, "I want to see if the so-called Chang 'an Sword Immortal can last more than a hundred moves against me."
Sizzle.
At this moment, the Lord Slayer Spear in his hand flashed slightly.
"Is it time?" Now that there was no longer any need to hide his strength, Xia Qing's eyes lit up as he punched out with his left fist.
Boom! Boom!
In Chang 'an, where the Tower of Tang was originally located, a long rainbow fell from each of them. It was enough to change the color of the sky.
Following that, the entire land of Chang 'an City began to glow. Golden light rushed out and headed straight for the sky, merging into the shining spear in King Qing's hand.
The Revered Slayer Spear, which was already blurry, solidified once again and emitted a dazzling divine light.
When he was a Martial Emperor, he could only control the Supremacy Slaughtering Grand Formation for half an hour. However, he was now a Half Martial Ancestor.
Things were different now.
Then, Xia Qing swung the spear.
Divine flames shook the sky as if a celestial being had sent down divine fire. Endless runes formed spears of light one after another, emitting a monstrous light mist as they flew forward.
The blazing light was so bright that it was as if the entire world was pressing down. The energy fluctuations were frightening, and the majestic aura shook the sky.
Li Qiubai raised his hand in the face of this monstrous power.
Sword will shot up into the sky.
The clouds in the sky spun like a tornado.
White clouds and dogs.
It was indescribably wonderful.
Li Qiubai used his abundant sword will to summon a tornado of heaven and earth. It was funnel-shaped, like a dancing dragon. It seemed to reach the sky and kept spinning, becoming more and more intense. It formed a huge white sword.
But he was not satisfied yet.
He reached out his hand again and lifted it up.
"Rise again," he whispered.
The endless white clouds moved like wind, sand, stones, and dragons.
Another tornado appeared in the sky.
The phenomenon of heaven and earth rose again, never withered or weakened.
A section of cloud sword.
Two sections of cloud sword.
Three sections of cloud sword.
Above the sky, Li Qiubai used the power of heaven and earth and the clouds as a huge sword. He seized the surging power of heaven and earth and rushed toward the spears of light in the sky.
In the cracking sound, those spears exploded one by one. The powerful power of heaven and earth dissipated, turning into rays of light that spread out in all directions.
Even though the two of them were fighting in the sky, the powerful aftershocks still affected the buildings in Chang 'an City.
Many buildings immediately flew up, like leaves in the wind, fluttering in the wind. Then, as if they were hit by lightning, they instantly shattered into dust and scattered.
The spears dispersed, and so did the cloud sword.
The sky was clear again.
Xia Qing stood proudly in the sky, his long hair still in the wind. He said calmly, "Using sword will to borrow the power of heaven and earth and steal the power of a Sword Fairy. Li Qiubai, is this your Sword Fairy Realm?"
"This method of stealing the power of heaven and earth for your own use. You defeated me once only because I deliberately hid my strength."
"Back then, when we were both in the Eighth Realm, you defeated me with one strike. I was convinced and had nothing to say.
But now, I've become a Half Ancestor, and you're only in the Eighth Realm. It's laughable that you want to defeat me again. "
The only Half Ancestor cultivator of the human race had a fierce look in his eyes and a loud voice. "Li Qiubai, today, I'll grant you defeat as you wish."
Li Qiubai didn't say anything. With a thought, the wind blew and the three sections of the cloud sword gathered. This time, they didn't move forward separately. Instead, they suddenly gathered and formed a long sword that covered the sky. It slashed toward Chang 'an and Xia Qing.
"Good timing!" Xia Qing only laughed when he saw this.
He held the spear in one hand and rushed upward against the momentum of the huge sword. Golden blood Qi surged all over his body, turning heaven and earth golden like a bright sun.
Crack!
Although the spear formed by the Supremacy Slayer Formation was incomparably small compared to the cloud sword, its power was not inferior at all.
Xia Qing actually tore the cloud sword apart, causing it to scatter again and return to the sky.
"It's just a small trick." He sneered.
Then, Xia Qing punched with his left fist. With his fist as the center, ripples visible to the naked eye spread out between heaven and earth.
The next moment, a long rainbow hung upside down in the sky. Its powerful Qi was like a flood that opened a gate and blasted toward Li Qiubai.
"It's my turn now." Xia Qing was extremely arrogant. He laughed from the bottom of his heart. "Let's see if you can take this move of mine."
Within the rainbow, nine bolts of lightning exploded outwards, circling around like a flood dragon.
For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook. All the light in the rainbow's path was distorted and smashed down from the sky.
The wind and thunder roared.
Li Qiubai's expression was solemn. An ancient and dim long sword appeared in his hand.
Cow's ear.
It had lost its spirituality and its luster was dim.
The Green Shirt Sword Immortal held his sword in the sky and said softly, "Since I use Chang 'an as my name and defeat as my name, I can't lose in Chang' an."
The next moment.
A clanging sound rose from heaven and earth.
The huge city of Chang 'an was shaken.
There was a vast sword aura that swept forward.
A sword was held in front of the Sword Immortal's chest.
In the city, the decorations on the ridges of the many halls in the palace, the Vermilion Bird, Chi Fish, and Chi Beast on the two ends of the ridges, the Heavy Beast on the heavy ridges, the Crotch Beast on the ridges, the Crotch Beast at the turn of the ridges …
In addition, there was a row of beasts in front of the Heavy Beast and the Crotch Beast. Dragons, phoenixes, lions, pegasi, seahorses, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, Crotch Beasts, and so on.
Outside the city, the mighty and majestic Purple Lightning Flood Dragon exploded in the air.
In the palace, many cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom looked pale.
Even with their cultivations and physiques, when faced with this vast aura that shook the heavens and the earth, they felt their auras move. It was as if they were looking at the water of a great river that came from the heavens. It was incomparably vast, and countless strands of fate flowed. It was extremely profound and powerful.
Even at such a critical moment, Marquis Anxi couldn't help but sigh at the sight of this scene. "Such a grand view of Sword Dao. I'm sure the other two Sword Immortals will also be amazed."
Although Xia Xiaoxiao was very worried, a hint of pride appeared in her eyes when she heard the cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom exclaim.
This was her husband.
She looked up and focused on the green robe. There was nothing else in her eyes.
You've never asked for a defeat in your life. This time, you won't lose either.
.....
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! The clanging sound between heaven and earth grew louder.
It was the sound of sword whistling.
As Li Qiubai destroyed his Sword Dao, the divinity of the Bull's Ear dimmed. But at this moment, Li Qiubai relied on his own will to make the Three-Foot Sword cry.
Seeing this scene, the indifferent Xia Qing was shocked and impressed, but he wasn't afraid or worried at all. He stood tall and walked with majestic steps, waving the Lord Slayer Spear.
Endless blazing lightning spewed out.
But this time, the lightning wasn't purple, but dazzling gold.
The deafening thunder echoed with the sword whistling that filled heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth were filled with golden lightning, and a violent collision occurred.
Bolts of golden lightning shot up one after another, emitting divine light. They charged toward Li Qiubai like divine dragons.
Li Qiubai waved the Bull's Ear, and Sword Qi poured out like a waterfall.
The Sword Qi was so majestic that it was like a huge white rainbow that filled the void.
Wherever the sharp Sword Qi passed, many huge cracks appeared in the space. The cracks were pitch-black and empty, but they quickly healed under the effect of the Power of the Heavens and Earth.
The Sword Qi crushed all of the divine dragons as easily as crushing dry weeds.
It was a wonder of heaven and earth.
Thousands of dragons danced, and the sword broke through the void.
In the palace, the cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom looked up and saw the two people fighting in the sky. They couldn't help but have a thought.
One was the most accomplished Sword Dao in the Chang 'an era, and the other was the most accomplished Martial Dao in the Chang' an era.
If King Qing didn't have such cruel and ruthless thoughts, and if he didn't have any complaints and supported Xia Hong wholeheartedly, how great would that be?
There wouldn't be any grudges between the two of them.
Then, the two of them should work together to vanquish the evil instead of fighting each other.
This scene really made people wring their wrists and sigh.
.....
The battle was still going on.
Xia Qing's expression was calm, but he was more and more shocked.
He always thought that he lost to Li Qiubai the second time because he hid his strength. He didn't expect that Li Qiubai didn't use his full strength in the battle above Qing City.
Was a sword cultivator really that ridiculous?
He was clearly a level-eight cultivator, but he could do this with his Sword Dao?
He was already so terrifying before he even opened his Dao. If Li Qiubai opened his Dao again, how powerful would he be?
Xia Qing could clearly feel that if he hadn't become a Half-Martial Ancestor, he wouldn't have been Li Qiubai's match.
But a hypothesis was just a hypothesis. He was now a Half-Martial Ancestor.
So, he was at ease.
Xia Qing waited in silence in an orderly manner.
A level-eight cultivator was still a level-eight cultivator. There were many unorthodox ways, and the borrowed power of heaven and earth would eventually run out.
It was like a castle in the air. No matter how magnificent it was, it would eventually collapse without a foundation.
"Boom!"
King Qing's spear shook, and the entire sky shook. It emitted a divine radiance and pressed down as if a hundred thousand mountains were falling.
The sword qi that filled the sky collapsed. Li Qiubai staggered for the first time, and he retreated several feet.
His face was as pale as snow, and there were traces of blood seeping out of his seven orifices. His condition was even worse, and his aura fluctuated.
Clearly, no matter how high Li Qiubai's Sword Dao was, it was still too much for him to fight a Half-Martial Ancestor with a level-eight cultivator who was two whole levels above him.
King Qing was right. Without a cultivation base as a foundation, the Sword Dao was like a castle in the air. No matter how majestic and magnificent it was, it couldn't withstand the destruction of wind and thunder.
Seeing this, Xia Qing knew that the outcome had been decided. He was in high spirits as he pointed his spear at Li Qiubai and praised, "You're indeed the one who defeated me twice. You're the sword cultivator that I think the most highly of."
"I thought that was your limit to unleash the power of a Sword Immortal with a level-eight cultivation base. I didn't expect you to be able to withstand more than a hundred moves from a Half-Martial Ancestor."
"But, do you really think that an ant can shake a tree?"
"I've only just become a Half-Martial Ancestor. It's rare for me to meet a worthy opponent, so I'm just warming up my hands. Now, my hands are hot. If you don't back down, I won't hold back anymore." Xia Qing nodded, and the killing intent in his words was obvious.
This was the truth.
The Sword Immortal of Chang 'an wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. "If I can defeat you twice, I can naturally defeat you a third time."
The wind whistled, and Li Qiubai's voice drifted with the wind to the ears of the pale-faced Xia Xiaoxiao in Chang 'an.
Seeing Li Qiubai's decline, the eyes of the Female Supreme, who was filled with endless sadness, lit up again.
She knew Li Qiubai.
He was a man who would never lie.
Since he said so, he would definitely be able to do it.
Xia Qing did not have as much confidence in Li Qiubai as the Female Supreme did. He retorted, and asked sharply, "You've unleashed all your Sword Will, and you've even risked your life. Can you hurt me?"
"You haven't hurt me at all before this. Now that your Dantian's Sea of Qi is exhausted, how are you going to fight me?"
Li Qiubai raised his eyes slightly and asked softly, "I can exchange more than a hundred moves with you as a level-eight cultivator. If I reach level-nine, even if you're a Half-Martial Ancestor, do you have any chance of winning?"
"You've reached the end of the Martial Path, and I haven't even opened my Sword Path. If you lose to me like this, I'm sure you won't be satisfied and die with regret," the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an said seriously.
Li Qiubai's words were as powerful as Xia Qing's Heavenly Thunder.
Xia Qing stood above Chang 'an and suddenly realized the meaning of Li Qiubai's words. His heart trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Li Qiubai, I didn't kill you before …"
"That's because the Demons are snoring beside me, and they could wake up at any time. The world needs me, and the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an …"
"If you do this, you'll be destroyed in both body and soul today, let alone whether you can defeat me. What do you want to do with the world?" Xia Qing's voice trembled slightly as he questioned, trying to persuade Li Qiubai.
"What does the world have to do with me?" Li Qiubai asked with a smile.
"You're a Sword Immortal, the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an. Didn't you destroy your Sword Path to reach the peak of the Sword Path again, to quell the Demons?" Xia Qing continued, "Who doesn't know that you care about the world?"
Everyone knew that the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an cared about the world, and he had a responsibility. He was like a mountain that wanted to carry the sky for the human race.
King Qing was stopping Li Qiubai for the sake of the human race.
"You're wrong. I've never cared about the world." Li Qiubai was still indifferent, as if he was whispering to someone.
What world? What human race? They were all discarded like worn shoes. He looked at the woman in the palace, who had been staring at him with infatuation.
"I care about the world because it's hers, and she's a part of it."
"If she doesn't live, the world won't be mine."
"Then what does the world mean to me?"
The world says that I love Chang 'an, but I only love Chang' an.
Layers of Will Qi had been brewing in the world, and it made Xia Qing's hair stand on end.
"Isn't it just Xia Xiaoxiao? As long as she's willing to submit to me, I won't touch a hair on her head! "
Xia Qing's face was ferocious. "She's just a level-eight cultivator. How can she bear the position of the Supreme of the Da Xia Kingdom? Only I can lead the Da Xia Kingdom and quell the Demons. It's the human race's fortune if I become the Supreme of the Da Xia Kingdom. "
— He couldn't give up his path to the Progenitor Realm.
Li Qiubai shook his head and looked away from Xia Qing. He turned to Xia Xiaoxiao and asked softly, "Are you willing to give the position of Supreme to him?"
In the palace, Xia Xiaoxiao's body trembled, and her eyes were wet. She tried her best to open her eyes and stare at the azure-robed man.
"The position of Supreme of the Da Xia Kingdom belongs to the capable and virtuous. I've never been reluctant. But Xia Qing, who killed thousands of innocent people, is definitely not virtuous. I …" Xia Xiaoxiao's voice trembled. She knew what was going to happen next. Her throat was on fire, and it took her a lot of effort to speak.
"I'm not willing!"
She squeezed the last two words out of her throat.
"I know." Li Qiubai nodded at Xia Xiaoxiao and smiled. There was only relief in his eyes.
Nothing needed to be said. The two of them knew each other too well.
"Without the two of us, the world will fall into chaos!" Xia Qing roared furiously. "Besides, I'm a half-step Progenitor. What makes you so confident that you can kill me?"
"You might be right." Li Qiubai put away the smile on his face and sighed softly.
"It's just that the rules and principles of the world don't apply to me. Li Qiubai has always acted according to his heart."
"To be honest, I don't believe in Heaven's Punishment without Dao. But you've killed so many people. My heart tells me that I must kill you."
"Since I want you dead, you'll have to die today no matter what."
The corner of Li Qiubai's mouth curled up slightly. He swung the arm holding the sword.
At this moment, the dusty cow ears erupted with endless radiance, rushing into the nine heavens, suddenly shooting out.
"I have a sword …" Li Qiubai shrugged as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
A wide, shining golden path that led to the sky appeared before his eyes.
At the end of the path, a gate of heaven appeared.
Ten thousand years ago, Li Qiubai used the fate of the Da Xia Kingdom to pave the way in Chang 'an and reached the Sword Immortal Realm. When he first entered the Venerable Realm, he opened a path that spanned five thousand miles and defeated Martial Emperor Xu Su, earning him the title of Chang' an's Sword Immortal.
Ten thousand years later, Li Qiubai once again opened a path in Chang 'an.
This time, his Sword Path was stronger than it was ten thousand years ago. It was at least seventy to ninety levels higher. When he first opened it, he was already at the limit.
However, this time, he didn't have the protection of the Da Xia Kingdom's fate.
"I can open the gate of heaven," he said at last.
