Chapter 516

"I am the Great Elder of the Jin Gang Sect, Bu Yuntian!"

The old man stood in the hall, his aura terrifying.

He stroked his beard and looked at Jiang Qingyu.

He didn't even bow to Jiang Qingyu.

Jiang Qingyu sneered: "When did it become your turn for the Jin Gang Sect to interfere in my royal family's affairs?"

"Please leave immediately!"

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken!" Jiang Xun quickly said: "Senior Bu is a Soul Transformation Stage senior. Although we are the royal family, we must still show the most basic respect to Soul Transformation Stage seniors!"

"This place, after all, is different from the secular world; this is the Cultivation World!"

"In the Cultivation World, strength is still respected!"

Jiang Xun smiled triumphantly: "I will say something disrespectful: if Senior were to strike at Your Majesty right now, we would be unable to stop it!"

"You..." Jiang Qingyu was so angry she was about to explode.

She looked at the civil and military officials.

Almost everyone was lowering their heads, not saying a word.

These people were the newcomers she had replaced after cleaning out the previous emperor's lackeys.

She didn't expect that these people would still not stand with her at a critical moment.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Xun continued to threaten: "Today is just to have Your Majesty confer the Crown Prince, not to have Your Majesty abdicate the throne. Please issue the order immediately!"

"Little girl!" Bu Yuntian looked coldly at Jiang Qingyu: "My patience is limited!"

"And so what?" Jiang Qingyu said: "Can you kill me?"

"Oh!" Bu Yuntian said: "Hehe... Your Majesty, why are you so naive? Don't you know the current situation of the royal family?"

"Don't you know what it means for strength to be respected in the Cultivation World?"

"Today, Your Majesty has only two paths!"

"The first path: establish the Crown Prince!"

"The second path: I will invite the Empress to ascend and meet the late emperor!"

A chill spread through the hall.

The civil and military officials were all trembling.

In fact, many people in their hearts still wanted to speak for Jiang Qingyu; after all, they had been her ministers for so many years.

But... in the Cultivation World, strength is respected after all.

Today, Jiang Xun already had the upper hand, and there was also a Soul Transformation cultivator present.

If anyone dared to oppose, they might be killed on the spot.

Who dared to step forward?

"Well said!" Jiang Qingyu sneered: "Senior Bu said it too well. In the Cultivation World, strength is respected. Those with strong strength can arbitrarily deprive others of their lives. Even the Empress of Qi must be sent by you to meet the late emperor. Impressive, truly impressive!"

"Hehe..." Bu Yuntian said: "Your Majesty knows it well. This rule of strength being respected has existed since ancient times; what is there to be surprised about?"

Jiang Qingyu said: "Since you say so, then I will introduce you to someone with even greater strength!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Jiang Qingyu clapped her fair little hands three times.

The two screens behind were opened.

It turned out that behind the screen, there was another person sitting.

It was none other than He Pingsheng.

Boom...

Bu Yuntian's spiritual sense instantly swept over He Pingsheng, discovering that He Pingsheng was only at the tenth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, and he immediately gave a cold laugh: "A mere tenth layer, just an ant. Your Majesty wouldn't be counting on him to guard the overall situation for you, would you?"

As soon as his voice fell, he saw the prince Jiang Xun beside him flop and kneel directly on the ground.

Jiang Xun's legs were trembling, and he even wet himself in the hall.

He Pingsheng was the shadow of his entire life.

Back when he was still a prince, he had been kidnapped by He Pingsheng once, and that time, four princes were killed.

Jiang Xun had luckily escaped, but later he watched helplessly as his father was forced to his death by this guy.

At this moment, suddenly seeing the guy who was rumored to have been captured by the Sacred Lord, the terror in his heart could be imagined.

Bu Yuntian was not a fool. Seeing Jiang Xun's performance, he immediately knew that He Pingsheng was not simple, and asked solemnly: "Who are you?"

He Pingsheng walked out from behind the screen calmly and said: "Senior Bu's words just now were well said... hehe..."

"I am... He Pingsheng!"

"Who?" Bu Yuntian's body shook with fright, saying: "Say it again, who are you? I didn't hear clearly just now!"

He Pingsheng wanted to speak again, but the power of the void space rules fluctuated violently, and Bu Yuntian's figure disappeared.

Scared away...

A dignified Soul Transformation Stage grand cultivator, actually ran away, would you believe it?

"Hehe..." He Pingsheng looked at the remaining power of space rules and walked out with a teleportation.

Then another teleportation.

After two moves, he saw Bu Yuntian's figure.

His spiritual sense erupted, adding the power of space rules, locking Bu Yuntian in a wilderness.

Bu Yuntian discovered with terror that he, a dignified Soul Transformation Stage grandmaster, was actually locked by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist..."

Bu Yuntian's guts were turning green with regret. He didn't know He Pingsheng's combat power, but he had heard of He Pingsheng's battle record.

Regardless of whether the rumors about He Pingsheng were true or false, he didn't want to have any battle with He Pingsheng.

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

"I... no, no, no... this poor Daoist... this poor Daoist was deceived by that dog Jiang Xun!"

"I can apologize to the Qi Emperor, I can compensate!"

"I can apologize!"

"Anything is fine!"

He looked at He Pingsheng with terror.

He Pingsheng waved his hand calmly and took out a divine weapon: the Southern Bright Square Sky Halberd.

"Senior Bu is at the seventh layer of the Soul Transformation Stage, and Junior is only at the tenth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage. What do you have to be afraid of?"

He Pingsheng carried the bright red halberd.

On the halberd, the Dao patterns of fire were revealed.

The bright red flames were burning slightly.

"How about this... I won't make things difficult for you, Senior..."

"I will only strike three times. No matter how you defend or dodge, as long as you can survive my three strikes, I will not continue to pursue!"

"How about it?"

He Pingsheng looked at Bu Yuntian calmly.

Bu Yuntian took a deep breath. Hearing He Pingsheng say this, he suddenly felt a bit more confident in his heart.

If... it was only three strikes, he might be able to take them.

It is said that back then, He Pingsheng and that third-layer Soul Transformation Jiang Yu fought for a long time.

Isn't it just three strikes?

"Fine..." Bu Yuntian said: "Within three strikes, life or death is up to fate!"

"Then you must be careful!" He Pingsheng reminded him.

Bang...

The next moment, his body jumped directly into the void, like a pea.

The tiny 'pea' brandished the bright red Square Sky Halberd and slashed vertically at Bu Yuntian below.

A half-moon-shaped red light blade fell with a boom.

At the beginning, this light blade was only three zhang in size.

But as it fell, it kept absorbing the fire spiritual energy in the void.

It grew larger and larger, larger and larger.

Finally, it turned into three hundred zhang, like a ribbon, filling half the sky.

This strike contained the power of fire rules and space rules.

Bu Yuntian had no choice but to defend with all his might; there was no possibility of escaping.

Bang, bang, bang...

Outside Bu Yuntian's body, he opened six defensive light membranes in one breath.

Just at this moment, the light blade fell with a boom.

The six light membranes all shattered within a single breath, and finally, the light blade swept across Bu Yuntian's body, cutting his torso into two pieces in one strike.

One strike, instant kill!
