Chapter 414

Li Miao scanned the surroundings, inserted his toes abruptly under the ground, and then flicked them, scattering countless gravel and sand into the air in front of him.

The gravel had just flown out a few feet when it hit a transparent wall, and with lightning speed, it rolled back toward Li Miao.

Li Miao dodged to the side, his gaze nailed to the silent Zheng Anqi Sheng's face.

"Xuanlan".

Essentially, it is to take the already perfected three paths of life a step further, but unlike the different paths leading to the same destination of the three paths of life, this is a realm that varies from person to person at the root; from the moment each person completes it, the life cultivation realm strengthened by Xuanlan is already set and cannot be changed again.

And even if two people both cultivate Xuanlan that strengthens the same life cultivation realm, the way of expression will be different. It is as if the three paths of life gathered all the Wu Gong in the world, and Xuanlan split this path again, evolving into countless branches.

Except for Yingzhou.

The Xuanlan of the Yingzhou people is essentially a split of Zheng Anqi Sheng's Xuanlan realm. So Zheng Anqi Sheng and Zheng Anqi are essentially no different; they are the same protective true energy, just more powerful and solid.

Yet it made Li Miao feel for the first time that he had nowhere to start.

Li Miao smashed the wall in front of him with a punch, borrowed the range of the protective true energy spreading from the wall fragments, flashed out from the gap, and rushed toward Zheng Anqi Sheng for several feet, seeing that he was about to rush in front of Zheng Anqi Sheng.

At this moment, Li Miao's gaze suddenly froze.

The moonlight reflected in front of him seemed to have a trace of fluctuation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Miao retreated rapidly!

The next moment, a deep gully appeared out of thin air where he had originally been, as if bitten by an invisible giant beast. The gravel was rolled and thrown out by the invisible protective true energy, making a shrill scream and exploding a large cloud of dust on the residential houses on the side of the street.

Ethereal and unpredictable, silent and soundless.

Borrowing the moment the protective true energy rolled, Li Miao jumped up abruptly, pounced from mid-air, but halfway through, he suddenly used a "Ladder Cloud Vertical," flashed and stepped on the side of the outer wall of a building.

Boom!

The whole building collapsed with a bang, Li Miao was like an arrow off a bow, flying toward Zheng Anqi Sheng, forcing his way to the front! He threw a punch!

Hum! —

A tooth-aching humming sound spread out.

Li Miao's fist stopped in front of Zheng Anqi Sheng, trembling uncontrollably, but could not advance an inch.

The protective true energy surrounding Zheng Anqi Sheng blurred for a moment in the moonlight, and then smashed toward Li Miao's head with a bang!

Li Miao raised his left palm, exchanged blows with the invisible true energy, and made a loud noise again.

At the same time, his right fist and both legs instantly launched an offensive as dense as a water curtain! Every attack caused a sonic boom, and the aftermath even constantly shaved away the surrounding ground!

Yet he could not get close to Zheng Anqi Sheng in the slightest.

He really looked like an old man on the verge of death, standing in place, head drooping. If not for his chest still rising and falling, he would be like a dried corpse.

But Li Miao just couldn't hurt him.

There wasn't even a chance to trade injury for injury.

Even using the cultivation method created by Zheng Qi to break the protective true energy, plus the "Wuji Vibration Zen," Li Miao could at most break through about a foot of protective true energy.

But just like punching water, the hole broken would be filled in the next instant.

During the Battle of the Imperial Mausoleum, the offensive that forced the Emperor, who combined the four paths into one, to be left and right, was difficult to even force Zheng Anqi Sheng back a step.

Even—a small gash suddenly appeared on Li Miao's side face.

A drop of blood flowed down.

Li Miao's gaze froze, and he retreated rapidly.

The next instant, the ground where he had originally been disappeared abruptly, turning into a deep gully several feet wide without warning, with a smooth surface like a mirror. The mud on the side took a while to slowly tilt and pour into the gully.

Reflected by the moonlight, around Zheng Anqi Sheng, there seemed to be an invisible giant beast so large that it could not be named, slowly retracting its sharp claws and teeth. The torn gravel fell like raindrops from mid-air, making a dense rustling sound on the ground.

Li Miao retreated a foot away and stared at Zheng Anqi Sheng.

Restraint.

After completing the Jiezi, this was the first time he felt restrained in Wu Gong.

This was not the first time the two had fought; the night before at Yan Song's mansion, Li Miao had already met him once and exchanged a few moves, but the result had not changed in the slightest.

This was the final result of Yingzhou's thousand-year inheritance, a realm polished by dozens of generations of people. A raging fire ignited with countless Zheng family geniuses who could dominate the Jianghu as firewood. More massive, solid, and sharp than Zheng Anqi, it finally stacked into a monster that even Li Miao found difficult to smash.

The true "Flawless and Immaculate, Constantly Guarding and Constantly Existing."

Li Miao curled his lips and shook his hands. "So hard."

Li Miao could not break Zheng Anqi Sheng's protective true energy, and Zheng Anqi Sheng's state was abnormal and he could not make a move.

It was difficult to distinguish the winner tonight.

Li Miao looked up at the sky.

It was now the second half of the Chou hour.

In another hour, it would be dawn.

"Just standing like this, neither letting me go nor trying to see if you can kill me, did you come to reminisce with me tonight?"

Li Miao said with a smile.

Zheng Anqi Sheng seemed to be awakened by his words, slowly raised his aged head, stared at Li Miao for a long time, his lips moved, revealing the missing teeth inside, and slowly spat out a few hoarse words.

"Tonight, is not, the time."

"Are you not worried about Yan Song?"

"No."

Li Miao pondered for a moment while twisting his fingers and smiled.

"Is Ji Tianrui at the Yan Fu?"

Zheng Anqi Sheng no longer responded.

He lowered his head again, and the protective true energy rolled toward Li Miao again.

Li Miao sneered.

"Fine, then let's fight until dawn."

Before the words fell, he disappeared in place.

The next instant, he appeared in front of Zheng Anqi Sheng, smashed a punch onto his protective true energy, and a loud noise spread out!

————————

Zhu Shoujing held the hilt of his sword and walked slowly into the Yan Fu.

Xiaolingwei soldiers poured into the gate from his side, dispersed along the corridor, kicked open every door, and held everyone in the house out with swords.

Zhu Shoujing scanned the circle.

No abnormalities were found.

But with the Liu Jin incident, he knew he couldn't let his guard down against anyone who looked normal.

With a wave of his hand, the Xiaolingwei soldiers pressed these servants, guards, and subordinates to the ground, bound them, covered their eyes and mouths, and pulled them aside to guard them.

Zhu Shoujing waved his hand and went toward the main hall first.

Behind him, the Dragon Chariot moved forward slowly.

The soldiers were scouting the path in front, plowing through every inch of ground and house.

In just a moment, the large and magnificent front courtyard of the Yan Fu became a mess.

A while later, Zhu Shoujing stepped into the backyard.

In front was Yan Song's residence.

Without any pleasantries or invitations to fight, Zhu Shoujing drew his double swords, concentrated his energy for a moment, and then slashed out two sword lights!

The house shattered with a bang!

Zhu Shoujing stepped into the ruins, scanned the surroundings, and found a corpse wearing a python robe under the ruins.
