They also gain a powerful spiritual secret technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is rumored that Qin Qingxuan is the most exceptional disciple Compassion Temple has seen in a hundred years. It seems she regards Your Majesty as a trial subject.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi smiled and said, \"Baihua Sect and Compassion Temple, both are remarkable women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially this... Baihua Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brothels are indeed the largest organization and channel for information control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just not sure if Baihua Sect does it deliberately, or if there are others behind it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more thing.\" Liu Cheng’en continued, \"Baihua Sect and Compassion Temple have a blood feud. Though their disciples don’t fight to the death upon meeting, they target each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If these two women enter the palace, the harem might become unstable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unstable harem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi sneered, \"As long as I am here, these women can’t make any waves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two spoke, the fourth person on the platform also stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi looked over and saw that Chen Hongxiu, though dressed in red and of ordinary appearance, had an extremely sharp gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a scar on her left cheek, making her appear fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her weapon was also a Yanling Saber, held very tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Hongxiu... For revenge, one can only imagine how much hardship she’s endured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Xian had two tokens placed face down and said, \"Today’s contest will be based on drawing lots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the military strategy competition, Cui Xiawu and Chen Hongxiu ranked first and second, so you two will draw lots to determine your opponents!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, Cui Xiawu and Chen Hongxiu stepped forward and casually picked a token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Xiawu, although from a branch of the Cui family, had read many military books, hence his first place in military strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chen Hongxiu, owing to her late father Chen Dao, she had inherited many military books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a woman, her proficiency in strategy surpassed most men, undeniably making her a remarkable woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhao Tieshan and Tian Yiguang, with one being a soldier and the other a vagrant of the Martial World, where would they find time to study military strategies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching this place, they relied on their First-grade Martial Arts Cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two finished drawing, and Prince Xian immediately ordered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first match, Cui Xiawu versus... Zhao Tieshan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two faced off immediately, Cui Xiawu against Zhao Tieshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning Chen Hongxiu would face Tian Yiguang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cui Xiawu... I’ve heard of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, Zhao Tieshan wielded a large saber and cautiously eyed Cui Xiawu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Xiawu showed interest, \"My reputation has reached the Capital City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a month’s time, you killed twelve bands of mountain bandits, defeated thirty-one robbers, and quashed seven groups of refugees from Jizhou to the Capital.

I want to show the Cui family people that even without their support, I, Cui Xiawu, can achieve greatness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such arrogance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tieshan shouted angrily, drawing his saber for a diagonal slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilling evil qi surged forth, cutting through the air in an arc towards Cui Xiawu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Xiawu evaded with ease, and the two engaged in a fierce exchange, attacking back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tieshan excelled in swordsmanship, making wide and bold movements, putting his all into every attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber in his hands exuded an overwhelming presence, as though Mount Tai was pressing down, leaving no room for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with his innate divine power, a single slash could compress the surrounding air, forcing Cui Xiawu to continually retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the high platform, Zheng Yi watched the duel with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imperial Uncle, who do you think will win between these two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Xian said, \"Let’s see if Cui Xiawu can hold out for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Why do you say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Tieshan follows the Horizontal Refining Lineage, emphasizing strength, swordsmanship, and especially powerful inner strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this momentum is difficult to maintain. The time it takes a stick of incense to burn marks his peak state, during which he could slaughter a hundred men alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Xian continued, \"But once his momentum wanes, after a stick of incense, he’ll revert to an ordinary First-grade Martial Artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Cui Xiawu, from what I can tell, he uses Taiyii Dao’s Yin Yang Swordsmanship, which is excellent for defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he holds on for a stick of incense, with Zhao Tieshan exhausted, overpowering him with the Cui Family Martial Arts ’Ice and Fire Dragon Palm’ will lead to Zhao Tieshan’s defeat without a doubt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Prince Xian predicted, after a stick of incense, Zhao Tieshan’s energy indeed waned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both his swordsmanship and strength slowed by thirty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking this chance, Cui Xiawu advanced, striking with the Ice and Fire Dragon Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two distinct inner strengths circulated within him, exploding with formidable force, pushing Zhao Tieshan back continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tieshan roared repeatedly in anger, but being only versed in ordinary techniques like Arhat Fist and Iron Sand Palm, how could he match Cui Xiawu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another stick of incense later, Cui Xiawu ultimately endured the excruciating pain on his body, forcing Zhao Tieshan off the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-06T13:34:09.114Z",1,"novelbin.me","11afa4739ce11e6cbbc02b6504336158faa3c5950fe067a948e5bcd42bdee78a","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-66","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-64",358,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-as-false-emperor-cover.jpg"]
