Chapter 285: It

Song Family Shancheng, the pavilions were towering.

Song Que stood as firm as a mountain within this mountain city, in white robes with a long blade, frost on his temples. After agreeing to the battle with Gu Qing, his momentum climbed step by step, then weakened inch by inch. His whole person and the heaven and earth were like a whole, fierce but not sharp. After the long blade was in hand, Gu Qing knew that this was the strongest person he had encountered using a long blade since he started his career.

"Grand Tutor's Hell Blade, Song has seen it."

Song Que was composed and calm, saying, "A blade with excellent spirit and intent, but it is only one blade."

As Song Que spoke, he stepped forward, his blade intent surging and scattering.

There was no beginning, no end, constant and unchanging, yet ever-changing. There was no sound of wind, no blade qi, yet it shrouded everything within it.

"Good!"

Gu Qing called out in praise upon seeing the move. Holding Shi Feixuan's Color-Empty Sword, he applied the Broken Blade Style. In Gu Qing's past battles, he had fought against thousands of blade moves and was already clear about the changes in blade techniques. Song Que's blade was extremely remarkable, but to Gu Qing, it was like a long-lost reunion with an old friend.

It was like having brushed through thousands of test papers and seeing a key question combined in a new test paper. It looked fancy, but the principles were mostly the same; it could be solved!

Gu Qing returned the favor with a sword.

Blade and sword clashed in an instant, and the heaven and earth seemed to freeze at this moment.

Shi Feixuan watched the brilliant light blooming on the Color-Empty Sword. This precious sword, which contained compassion in her hands, seemed to reveal its true appearance only at this moment—like drifting clouds, like lightning in the vast sky, like the snow of deep winter...

The two sides clashed a hundred moves in an instant.

The blade qi and sword qi between them rolled wildly, startling Shi Feixuan and the others to retreat, leaving a larger open space for the two. Only the Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan, stood on the sidelines at this moment.

In the first round of the battle between the two, Shi Feixuan, who possessed the Cihang Sword Canon, had already seen the difference in their paths.

Song Que's long blade was full of the mysteries of heaven and earth, flawless, while Gu Qing's sword was filled with human attacks, exhausting all the changes of the human heart, just to blast the opponent to death.

Song Que's blade was the Dao of Heaven.

Gu Qing's sword was the Dao of Humanity.

Song Que's blade technique contained the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth, and the position of the blade momentum was ever-changing. But despite these myriad changes, Gu Qing's sword moves were always just right, blocking and counterattacking.

"Having method without method, having no method with method."

After exchanging a hundred moves, Song Que sighed silently, knowing that Gu Qing's ability to behead Fu Cailin was truly genuine. At this moment, he changed his fighting style; his long saber and his movements merged, ethereal and carefree. Song Que unleashed his strikes with a detached state of mind, and everything about the thick-backed saber in his hand transformed into a tool for defeating the enemy. Every move and every stance was wielded with complete spontaneity.

Illusion Sword!

Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

Seventy-seven forty-nine style Returning Phoenix Dancing Willow Sword!

Two Instruments Sword Technique!

Gu Qing's sword techniques were interspersed at will at this moment. Song Que had originally been carefree in demeanor, but at this instant, he seemed to be facing several swordsmen. Both the previous and subsequent moves were wonderful moves. After Gu Qing scattered them at will, he forced Song Que to retreat, and the Heavenly Blade slashed with one move, clashing head-on with Gu Qing.

"Swish..."

Gu Qing held the sword with one hand, clashing with Song Que's long blade at this moment. Under the immense pressure of the Heavenly Blade, Gu Qing's arm circled, and the sword edge came toward his own neck.

Seeing the long blade about to reach under his neck, Song Que suddenly withdrew the blade, his body drifting backward, staring at Gu Qing and saying, "Undying Seal Method!"

It looked like Song Que was about to win, but Song Que felt the change in Gu Qing's strength and guessed that at this moment of winning, the powerless long sword would explode with brilliant sword moves. And at that time, it would be when Song Que's strength was pressed to the limit. This side was exhausted, while the other side had surplus; for Song Que, that would be the worst situation.

"A little trick."

Gu Qing said with a smile. The Heavenly Blade Song Que's energy was ever-changing, yet it merged with the nature of heaven and earth. Before Gu Qing's Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art had reached completion, he couldn't fathom the opponent's energy changes, making it difficult to apply the Shift of Stars and the Flower-Moving Jade-Receiving. But this Undying Seal Method's energy changes were easily merged into various moves by Gu Qing.

Shi Feixuan and Dugu Feng both wielded their swords, and both watched Gu Qing's move changes intently. In Gu Qing's choice of moves, both also gained a lot.

"Being able to fight the Grand Tutor with all my might, Song Que has no regrets in his heart."

Song Que held the long blade, his breath climbing upward, and his entire spirit seemed to have transcended the human body, merging with the unfathomable power of heaven and earth.

"Clang!"

Song Que slashed with his blade.

Gu Qing wielded his sword to clash.

Song Que's speed, strength, and true qi all climbed to the highest level at this moment. Every blade and every sword was a unity of heaven and man, wrapped in the vitality of the world, and also turned the compressed air into a long blade, which could roll toward Gu Qing with full force when the two sides' strength clashed.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang..."

Gu Qing wielded his sword, fast as a shadow, constantly clashing with Song Que's long blade. Both were hitting hard against hard; every blade and every sword was a comprehensive touch of spirit and energy!

"You've made a huge profit."

Dugu Feng muttered to Shi Feixuan.

Long blades and long swords can both store move intent. This Color-Empty Sword, through Gu Qing's hands, fought a great battle with Song Que. After this battle, it transcended the mortal flow. Shi Feixuan, who would hold the Color-Empty Sword in the future, could rely on spiritual sensing to constantly comprehend this competition between the two Grandmasters.

At Gu Qing and Song Que's martial arts realm, all the martial arts in the world were actually mostly the same.

Song Que's long blade slashed, Gu Qing wielded his sword to stab straight. The edges of the blade and sword crossed. Gu Qing pointed at Song Que's throat, and Song Que slashed at Gu Qing's head. Just as Gu Qing's long sword was about to stab, Song Que's long blade turned, the blade hilt knocking against the long sword to avoid being killed, and the long blade came toward Gu Qing's neck.

Gu Qing's sword moves lingered. Before the long blade reached his neck, he stabbed at Song Que's wrist. The two gambled several times, still opened the distance, and then the blade and sword clashed again!

Thick blade qi, vast blade intent.

The two sides' moves intertwined, from complex to simple, gradually simplifying from various complex moves at the beginning into the most ordinary and common martial arts moves in the Jiang Hu. Sword by sword, blade by blade, until the end, Gu Qing's whole body was steaming with heat, while Song Que retreated repeatedly, sitting dejectedly on the stone steps.

"Grand Tutor Gu's long sword is invincible, Song Que admires it."

Song Que sat down and focused his mind. The vitality of this heaven and earth naturally merged into his meridians.

In this battle, Song Que could still use the vitality of heaven and earth to sustain himself, while Gu Qing, relying on hard strength, dragged Song Que to defeat.

However, this duel was very beneficial to Song Que.

"The world today has been in chaos for nearly three hundred years. Although the Sui Dynasty unified it, it has been led by Yang Guang to look like nothing."

Gu Qing said, "Now the rebel armies are rising everywhere, and various forces are eyeing it covetously. If one day Yang Guang is finished, someone will eventually have to punish the disobedient."

Gu Qing stopped there.

Song Que already understood Gu Qing's meaning and ordered the people of the Song Clan to immediately set up a banquet to entertain him, and at the same time, release the news that in this battle between Gu Qing and Song Que, Gu Qing won against Song Que with his sword without injury.

"If the Heavenly Blade is like this, wouldn't his reputation in the Jiang Hu fall greatly?"

Dugu Feng covered her small mouth after hearing the news spread.

Shi Feixuan looked at Dugu Feng's every frown and smile, all of which were deliberately imitating her, and felt extremely helpless. She said sternly to Dugu Feng, "Clan Master Song spreading this news will certainly drop his reputation, but it will put unprecedented pressure on the Cihang Jingzhai."

"From now on, the Cihang Jingzhai will inevitably have to give up targeting Grand Tutor Gu and turn to bow down and submit." Shi Feixuan said this with helplessness.

Perhaps there were some arrogant people in the Jiang Hu who felt that Song Que was deceiving the world, but people like Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi knew Song Que's strength. Now that Song Que fought Gu Qing, Gu Qing not only defeated Song Que but was also uninjured himself. This kind of hard strength left Cihang Jingzhai with no way out.

If Gu Qing opened the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art, etc., Cihang Jingzhai might still think of a way, but winning against Song Que was enough to make Cihang Jingzhai face reality.

"So that's how it is."

Dugu Feng finally understood, and her beautiful eyes also saw Gu Qing come here, returning the Color-Empty Sword to Shi Feixuan.

Shi Feixuan flicked the sword slightly, overjoyed.

This world of the Great Tang Twin Dragons Legend seemed like the end of the Sui Dynasty, but the living standards and productivity of the people here were almost like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As one of the four great clans in the world, the food prepared by the Song Clan was naturally not bad. After Gu Qing finished eating the Cantonese food, he quietly slipped toward Song Yuhua's boudoir.

Song Yuhua was standing by the window. After hearing the movement, she turned around. Seeing the young man who had appeared in the room, she leaned forward and lay obediently in Gu Qing's arms.

"Nothing to say?"

Gu Qing stroked Song Yuhua's smooth chin and asked.

"What else do I have to say?"

!

Song Yuhua was speechless and said, "Anyway, following you, I don't hate it."

Seeing Song Yuhua so sensible, Gu Qing kissed her lightly. The two sat down separately, and Gu Qing began to talk with Song Yuhua to deepen their understanding of each other.

"Sister, are you asleep?"

Outside the room came Song Yuzhi's voice. She came to knock on the door excitedly, forcing Song Yuhua to come and open the door. But after turning around, Gu Qing's figure was gone, leaving Song Yuhua stunned, her heart feeling desolate.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Song Yuzhi was confused and hurriedly persuaded, "I think that Grand Tutor Gu's appearance is good, you don't need to be worried."

Today, Song Yuzhi had watched the battle between Gu Qing and Song Que from afar. For Gu Qing, who had defeated Song Que, Song Yuzhi only had admiration.

"Of course I know he is good."

Song Yuhua came back to her senses and tapped Song Yuzhi's head.

When Gu Qing returned to the room, the Queen of Yin had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Gu Qing return, she asked displeasedly, "Is Song Yuhua good?"

Gu Qing walked up, hugged her, and used the Soul-Confusing Hand to tease her gently, making the Queen of Yin quickly forget this. Just as the two were about to do business, the Queen of Yin suddenly grabbed Gu Qing's hand and said, "There is one more thing today."

"Bian Bufan is here!"

The Queen of Yin said.

On the boat on the Yangtze River, after Shan Wanjing's request and Gu Qing's inquiry, the Queen of Yin already felt that Bian Bufan had no great use, so she gave an order for Bian Bufan to come to the Song Clan to handle matters. Now that Bian Bufan had arrived, the Queen of Yin was prepared to take Gu Qing to kill Bian Bufan.

Gu Qing called Shan Wanjing. Ever since she stood up to the Queen of Yin on the boat, Shan Wanjing had always been at odds with the Queen of Yin. Now, hearing that the Queen of Yin had called Bian Bufan, Shan Wanjing was rarely obedient when following Gu Qing and Zhu Yuyan.

Gu Qing hugged Shan Wanjing and left the Song Clan with the Queen of Yin, rushing into the mountain forest outside the Song Clan. Relying on a secret signal, Gu Qing, the Queen of Yin, and Shan Wanjing met the famous Demon Hidden Bian Bufan in the dense forest.

Bian Bufan was handsome. Seeing Gu Qing, the Queen of Yin, and Shan Wanjing come together, he felt a little suspicious, but he first greeted the Queen of Yin and then flattered Gu Qing a few times. After all, Bian Bufan knew that the current Gu Qing had swept through Gao Li, killed Fu Cailin, and won head-on against Song Que; he was someone everyone in the world had to curry favor with.

"Grand Tutor Gu, if you have any orders, just give them."

Bian Bufan said to Gu Qing. He felt that his own skills were not bad. If he could curry favor with Gu Qing, then Bian Bufan could also move his position.

"Bian Bufan, go die."

Gu Qing said coldly to Bian Bufan.

Bian Bufan looked at Gu Qing, never expecting that his full enthusiasm would be met with such a response. His gaze swept over Gu Qing, the Queen of Yin, and Shan Wanjing, and he said, "Queen of Yin, all these years I have been working for you..."

As a Demonic Sect elder, Bian Bufan needed a reason to be punished.

"For the child."

Gu Qing said lightly.

Bian Bufan thought of Shan Meixian from back then, looked at Shan Wanjing again, and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "Queen of Yin, you are also going to dig up old accounts from so many years ago, right?"

When the incident happened back then, the Queen of Yin didn't stand with Shan Meixian.

Shan Wanjing also snorted coldly, saying, "I don't believe she did it for the child!"

The Queen of Yin glanced at Shan Wanjing coldly.

"Don't misunderstand."

Gu Qing said lightly, "The child I'm talking about is my child."

Your child?

As a veteran of the wind and moon, Bian Bufan saw the demeanor of Gu Qing and Zhu Yuyan and knew that the two had something going on. Hearing this at this time, he hurriedly stared at Zhu Yuyan's lower abdomen, his mouth twitching, and said, "Senior Sister, you can also be considered an old tree blooming."

At such an old age, you can still give birth?

Shan Wanjing also looked at Zhu Yuyan, thinking deeply, feeling that this "for the child" should be to kill Bian Bufan to prevent the child in Zhu Yuyan's womb from following the mother's old path.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhu Yuyan wore a heavy veil, her brows and eyes full of anger, and said, "Where is there any child?"

There was only a Demon Seed in Zhu Yuyan's body; she had never been pregnant.

"No child?"

Gu Qing reached out to stroke Zhu Yuyan's long hair and asked with a smile, "Then what do you mean by calling me Daddy every night?"

Bian Bufan and Shan Wanjing were stunned, their eyes constantly scanning Gu Qing and Zhu Yuyan. At this moment, the two had a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.

"You..."

Zhu Yuyan was furious and punched Gu Qing's chest.

Gu Qing laughed loudly, hugged Zhu Yuyan, and said, "Your martial arts have improved now, and many of the entanglements are unnecessary. The family affection you once discarded should also be picked up. Otherwise, with this barrier, your martial arts will always be difficult to reach the supreme realm."

Gu Qing was truly considering Zhu Yuyan's martial arts.

Zhu Yuyan nodded, accepting Gu Qing's good intentions, and her gaze turned to Bian Bufan.

Then I die?

Bian Bufan felt disgusted.
