Chapter 63

"This is a truly remarkable ranking!"

"Of the world's scholarly spirit, you, Xu Changqing, possess eight-tenths!"

"The title of the current head of the Confucian Sword Immortals belongs to none other than you!"

Yang Jian was in high spirits, his face full of emotion.

He was very happy.

Xu Changqing was a high-ranking official of his Great Sui.

He held a pivotal position in Great Sui.

With Xu Changqing present, Great Sui would be safe.

Xu Changqing, who was proficient in both literature and martial arts, held a very high status in Yang Jian's eyes.

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xu Changqing's eyes.

He said to Yang Jian, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."

"My talent is shallow; I have only barely managed to ascend this Azure Cloud Ranking."

"I am by no means worthy of being the head of the Confucian Sword Immortals."

Sui Emperor Yang Jian, who was nearby, said, "Changqing, oh Changqing."

"You are greatly mistaken."

"With your ability, given time, you could even sit as the number one in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing only smiled faintly.

In his mind, he recalled the Demonic Saintess he had loved back then.

In this world, there would never be another her!

At this time,

A golden light streaked across the sky from the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament, and in an instant,

It flew into the Great Sui Imperial Palace.

It landed in front of Xu Changqing.

When Xu Changqing saw this golden light, he did not hesitate at all; he reached out and took the Supreme Profound Pill and the Green Lotus Sword Art that the Heavenly Dao had rewarded him with.

Yang Jian, who was nearby, saw this and said, "Changqing, from now on, you must carefully instruct the Crown Prince!"

"You are the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, the head of the Confucian school of my Great Sui, and a Land Immortal revered by the world."

"I am at ease leaving the Crown Prince to you."

Xu Changqing nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

Great Qin.

Xianyang Palace.

When Ying Zheng saw that Xu Changqing had made the list,

He immediately frowned.

"White-Haired Sword Immortal, Xu Changqing?"

"Head of the Great Sui Confucian school?"

"I had long heard that the Great Sui Dynasty had an extremely formidable figure. Only today did I learn that this Xu Changqing's power has reached such a shocking level!"

"Sixth rank of Land Immortal!"

"It is a pity that my Great Qin has no such heroic figure!"

"Looking across my Great Qin, there might be a few who could reach the Land Immortal realm."

"However, none of them are of one mind with the imperial court!"

"Lord Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School, although nominally a subject of my Great Qin!"

"Yet, this time, when I wanted to meet with him, he made all sorts of excuses."

"It seems that everything must still rely on myself."

A strange look flashed across Ying Zheng's face!

He, Ying Zheng, had reached this day; what kind of scenes had he not witnessed!

If Heaven wanted him dead!

He would refuse to die!

He would break free from Heaven's mandate!

And carve out a path of his own!

Great Ming Dynasty.

Capital.

Imperial Palace.

Above the Cining Palace.

The battle between Gu Gu Santong and Zhu Wushi stirred up a thousand waves!

It caused the entire sky above the Imperial Palace to tremble!

Incomparably violent sword Qi swept across the sky!

Zhu Wushi held the Li Fire Divine Sword, manifesting the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

Gu Gu Santong was completely unafraid; every punch and palm strike contained the mysteries of heaven and earth!

Zhu Wushi, who was at the ninth rank of Heaven-Man, was incredibly powerful!

However, he was still at a disadvantage!

The strength of a Land Immortal!

Simply could not be compared to the Heaven-Man realm!

Gu Gu Santong, without any effort, hammered Zhu Wushi into the ground several times.

Zhu Wushi was like a cockroach that could not be killed!

He flew up from the ruins of the palace he had been smashed into.

And flew toward Gu Gu Santong in the firmament once again.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sound of the true Qi generated by their clash was like thunder, incredibly vast.

At this moment,

Gu Gu Santong was heard laughing out loud!

"Well fought!"

"Zhu Tie-Dan, take another one of my Bright Moon Palm strikes!"

Gu Gu Santong, from mid-air, hung upside down and struck downward with his palm, blasting toward Zhu Wushi.

The powerful true Qi compressed the air into a vacuum!

The skin on Zhu Wushi's face was trembling incessantly!

The clothes on his body began to shatter due to the pressure of that powerful true Qi!

Zhu Wushi's hair began to scatter.

At this moment,

A look of immense resentment appeared in Zhu Wushi's eyes!

"Ahhhhh!"

Zhu Wushi roared toward the sky!

... 0 seeking flowers ...

The immense pressure weighed upon him like Mount Tai!

It made his teeth chatter!

He knew he did not have many chances left!

One strike!

He only had the chance for one final strike!

If he could not wound Gu Gu Santong!

Then he would have no more chances!

Second rank of Land Immortal!

Too strong!

Although the Heaven-Man realm was only a thin line away from a Land Immortal!

Yet, it was like the difference between clouds and mud!

"Ahhhhh!"

"Gu Gu Santong!!!"

"I will kill you!!!"

"Sucking Power Great Art!!!"

Zhu Wushi roared.

He whipped up all the true Qi in his entire body.

He raised both arms directly.

Both palms facing upward!

Boom!

Gu Gu Santong's palms arrived as expected!

The two men's palms collided instantly!

Boom!

The massive shockwave tore up the palaces surrounding the Cining Palace!

The bluestone on the ground had already shattered!

It was as if a massive earthquake had occurred.

0 . .......

Zhu Zhu Houzhao, who had been not far away, had already dragged the Empress Dowager and fled the Cining Palace, escaping into the distance.

This massive commotion caused people to feel immense fear!

The Imperial Guards in the palace did not dare to approach the place where the two were fighting.

Boom!!

It lasted for less than three breaths!

Zhu Wushi spat out a mouthful of blood!

His entire body was pressed into the ground by Gu Gu Santong!

Leaving only his head exposed!

Gu Gu Santong flew down.

He squatted down and looked at Zhu Wushi, who had only his head exposed.

He laughed, "Tsk tsk tsk, Zhu Tie-Dan, oh Zhu Tie-Dan, after so many years, you are still using the same old tricks!"

"However, you probably don't know that I also know the Sucking Power Great Art, so you cannot suck my power!"

Zhu Wushi glared at Gu Gu Santong and said, "How is that possible!"

"How could you possibly know the Sucking Power Great Art!"

Gu Gu Santong shook his head and laughed, "Tsk tsk tsk, why do they say you are too clever for your own good, only to ruin your own life!"

"Back then, I was the one who discovered the Heavenly Pool Freak's corpse first. In fact, I had already seen both the Sucking Power Great Art and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art!"

"I just lied to you and said I only saw the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art!"

"You were the one who chose to believe me; don't blame me for tricking you!"

Zhu Wushi's eyes were filled with rage!

"Gu Gu Santong, you played me!"

Gu Gu Santong laughed, "Yes, I did play you!"

"What of it?"

"Get up and hit me then!"

Zhu Wushi was so angry he cursed loudly.

"Gu Gu Santong, you will die a horrible death!"

Gu Gu Santong, however, patted Zhu Wushi on the head and slowly stood up.

He looked up at the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

He saw Yan Yan Kuangtu and Xu Changqing, who had just appeared on the list.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he flew up and stepped into the sky, leaving.

Leaving behind only one sentence.

"Zhu Tie-Dan, for the rest of your life, live well in prison. After I have fought every Land Immortal in the world, I will come back to see you!"
