Chapter 836: Chapter 694: The Exchange Son

"Heavenly Law, Annihilation!"

Before Li Xuan’s sword light approached, Dasiming extinguished it with the power of Lvling.

However, at the same time, her face hidden behind the mask slightly turned pale.

The gravest threat Li Xuan posed to her was not the method known as "Yange" or "Qieduan" from the Rule of Extreme Heaven, nor was it the pure Haoqi of Liuli. Instead, it was the crimson-gold Dragon Qi swirling around him.

That was the fate and might of the Jin Dynasty, a confluence of the collective desires and thoughts of hundreds of millions of people.

Although Li Xuan, as a County Prince, controlled only a part of it, his authority was unmatched, his momentum grand, overpowering mountains and rivers.

Even though Dasiming’s mind and cultivation were close to the Extreme Heaven, she could feel sharp pains within her spirit, nearly crushed by the Dragon Qi. This forced her spiritual consciousness to rapidly contract and avoid the sharp edge of County Prince Fenyang.

At the same time, Dasiming threw the "Ziwu Optic Disk" towards the city: "Go!"

Master Shi Tianze, Lord of the Baihu Palace, grasped her intention right away, and along with many from the Jinque Palace of heavenly level, they started to rescue the numerous Taoist boys into the "Ziwu Optic Disk."

The explosion that caused the collapse of Xiangyang’s outer city wasn’t significantly harmful to those cultivators who opened The Third Door. Thus, most of the Taoist boys Dasiming brought were safely returned to the inner city.

But if the inner city were also to fall, these people surely wouldn’t survive!

No matter how advanced their cultivation, they wouldn’t withstand the assault of the tens of thousands strong Jin Army.

Especially since the morale and fighting spirit of these soldiers had consolidated to a terrifyingly extreme state.

So, taking advantage of the Jin Army’s main force not yet arriving, they had to quickly transport these individuals into the Immortal Artifact.

"Master Shi!"

The son of Prince Xiang, Yu Qiyong, watching this scene, felt a sense of panic.

Master Shi Tianze, without a moment’s hesitation, remotely gathered Yu Qiyong and flew him towards the "Ziwu Optic Disk."

He didn’t particularly like the son of Prince Xiang, yet he knew the man’s life had to be preserved.

After the fall of Xiangyang, Yu Qiyong’s value to Jinque Palace was negligible. However, if such a person were to die by County Prince Li Xuan’s hand, then heroes across the land would be sorrowful.

How many more would believe in Jinque Palace’s promises then? How many more would be willing to serve Jinque Palace?

But in the very next moment, a chilling female voice that caused Yu Qiyong to tremble rang in his ear: "Think you can leave? Others may go, but you, Yu Qiyong, cannot."

Boom!

With an explosion, Yu Qiyong’s entire body and spirit were shattered into a mist of blood and flesh!

Master Shi Tianze’s pupils contracted as fury filled his heart, and he looked angrily at the newcomer: "Immortal Master Shuide? Do you dare to be the enemy of my Heaven Palace?"

As he fixed his vigilant gaze on Ao Shuying, who appeared atop the city walls in human form, Master Shi Tianze’s caution was at its peak.

During the Mengyuan Era, Master Shi Tianze was already close to the Great Heavenly Position and was the foremost among the Mengyuan Han generals.

The historical records say he ’served among high officials and nobles for fifty years, doubted by none above and resented by none below, compared by others to Guo Ziyi and Cao Bin.’ Emperor Taizu of Yuan commented on him, ’You have personally put on armor and traversed mountains and rivers since our ancestors, exerting much effort. Furthermore, you took the lead in southern campaigns, and future successes will all be thanks to your strength.’

Although he wasn’t ranked among the top generals of Mengyuan founders, he was one of the most formidable fighters of that time.

After joining Jinque Palace, he had to follow the regulations of the Heavenly Law and cut down his cultivation. But when he took over as the Lord of Baihu Palace, he had fully restored his Martial Law to its former glory.

But the Immortal Master Shuide he now faced was not merely at the middle heaven level. She was also a deity with millions of believers.

Her true meaning of Martial Law was infinitely close to the God Realm!

"How could I not dare?" Ao Shuying sneered coldly, her figure flashing over, her fists shaking the very heavens and earth into countless fragments: "You from Jinque Palace have stirred cold currents, plunging all living beings into danger. Did you really think we of the dragon clan would abide by your Heaven Palace rules?"

With her punch, she shattered the Baihu Dharma Phase that Master Shi Tianze had formed into dust.

It wasn’t only Master Shi Tianze who was injured—several others from the Jinque Palace of heavenly level also spilled blood from their mouths.

As for the soldiers around them of Prince Xiang’s army, their fate was even more tragic. Someone had sabotaged two vital points of the city’s ’Water Array of Eight Inner Gates,’ greatly diminishing its divine power.

Ao Shuying’s power at the heavenly level spilled out and spread within Xiangyang, reducing soldiers of Prince Xiang’s army within a hundred steps to mush.

At the east city gate, Dasiming was also embroiled in a fierce battle.

Restricted by a lack of Mana, Li Xuan did not use "Yange" after the initial two slashes.

Yet the Gelong Knife, enwrapped with Dragon Qi, was still lethal with each stroke.

Li Xuan’s frequency of attacks wasn’t high, but each stroke was as fast as thunder and lightning, faster than extreme light, and powerful enough to shatter mountains and sink peaks.

However, Dasiming’s true adversaries were not Li Xuan but Masters Zhongliu and Yu Jie, whose whereabouts were unknown!

These two were not present physically, but they applied the Rule of Extreme Heaven from a distance, not only ’Hunxiao-ing’ her senses and consciousness but also ’Hunxiao-ing’ her perception of Li Xuan’s sword Shi, Ranmie-ing and Zhenya-ing Dasiming’s vitality and organ spirits, all the way to her Shenpo and spiritual consciousness!

Dasiming was constantly in extreme pain, and the power she could use against Li Xuan was less than twenty percent.

This made Li Xuan’s ’Gelong Knife’ even more dominant, nearly severing Dasiming’s neck at the most dangerous moment.

"Heavenly Law, Annihilation!" Once again, Dasiming shattered Li Xuan’s sword light with the power of ’Lvling.’ Then, she slashed out a stream of flowing flame sword light from her sleeve.

"Heavenly Law, Silence! Those who defy the heavenly decree, die!"

This was a strike she had been gathering for a full twenty breaths, drawing all her strength except what was needed to fight off Master Zhongliu and Shaofu Yu Jie.

This strike was also where all of Dasiming’s hopes of breaking the siege were pinned.

If she could kill or injure this rebel who defied the heavenly number, then everything she had lost today would be worth it.

Li Xuan also felt his Primordial Spirit, under the influence of the Rule of Extreme Heaven, leaning towards extinction and silence.

Li Xuan tried to use the ’Yange’ technique, but that supreme power collapsed in an instant.

The falling stream of flowing flame sword light seemed to genuinely contain divine might, manifesting the will of the Heavenly Dao, and left no room for thoughts of resistance.

Li Xuan’s pupils constricted to the extreme, then he let out a laugh full of disdain, "What Heavenly Law, heavenly decree? If heaven wants to destroy me, I too shall bury it! Not to mention you, an evil spirit masquerading in heaven’s name?"

At that moment, his ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart’ contracted to the extreme, pressing all the essence, yuan Qi and blood in his heart toward his limbs and bones.

Inside Li Xuan’s Primordial Spirit, a brilliance burst forth as if the Great Sun had descended upon the world with its brilliant heat.

Then, a furious purple thunder sword light tore through the void, shattered the heavenly intent, and also smashed the flowing flame sword light into pieces.

This strike was the ’Fusion Reactor * Phantom Electric Slash 3000!’

Li Xuan’s ’subtraction’ in Martial Law was based on the Juemie Palm, with a fusion reactor at the core, driving all his sword secrets, palm techniques, Golden Body, and even Hao Qi.

Though this cultivation technique was far from complete, it had already brought his sword speed, Shi of the sword, and Yi of the sword to an almost frenzied state.

And right after tearing apart the silent Heavenly Law, Li Xuan surged upward like a crazed dragon, forcibly breaking through Dasiming’s layers of Heavenly Laws and slashing directly at her brow.

At that moment, Li Xuan’s Shi of the sword and his imposing nature carried the will to dominate heaven and earth. On the sword’s body, seven dragon shadows appeared, each emitting a thunderous dragon roar.

This was the Haoyi poetry of ’Who dominates when the vast lands are in turmoil,’ combined with Li Xuan’s Light Thunder Method, which directly broke through Dasiming’s psychic defenses and tore a huge gap.

This poetic sword, launched by Li Xuan now the ’Dadudu of five armies’ and ’County Prince Fenyang,’ was exceptionally domineering and overwhelming, engulfing the sky and devouring rivers and mountains!

This strike distorted the void, shattered the world, and forcibly broke Dasiming’s Rule of Extreme Heaven. The edge of the blade even cracked the bronze mask on Dasiming’s face.

Dasiming’s face behind the mask turned green, and then she waved her sleeve without hesitation.

Li Xuan’s vision blurred, and found himself in a dead-gray space.

He immediately became alert, holding the Gelong Knife in one hand ready for any threat, and clutching a golden Immortal Talisman in the other.

Yet Dasiming had not followed him in; aside from him, there was no one else in this dead-gray space.

Li Xuan remained vigilant, casting his gaze in all directions, observing the chains filling the space, and the broken guillotine on the platform.

He surmised that this must be the ’Tianxingtai’ mentioned by Ao Shuying and Master Zhongliu.

After scanning the area, Li Xuan felt pleased rather than alarmed.

His solo fight against Dasiming had only been to force her hand.

The Tianxingtai was Dasiming’s usual strategy for escaping and preserving her life. By dragging an enemy into the Tianxingtai space, she could trap them momentarily, while she remained free to come and go as she wished.

According to Master Zhongliu, however, Dasiming was not the master of this Tianxingtai space and could only use it once a day.

Having contended with the lesser and greater Dasimings for a thousand years, they were well aware of each other’s capabilities.

Thus, the key to ambushing Dasiming was to force her to use the Tianxingtai in the absence of Master Zhongliu and Yu Jie.

Li Xuan’s greatest concern had been that Dasiming would, throwing caution to the wind, enter the Tianxingtai to take his life.

And Li Xuan, relying on the Immortal Talisman as a last resort, might not be guaranteed to save his life.

Luckily, Dasiming still did not dare to take that risk, unwilling to abandon her subordinates and engage in a desperate struggle within the Tianxingtai space.

Li Xuan’s gaze eventually settled on the platform and the guillotine, inwardly shocked by the infinite malevolence, boundless anger, and the guillotine’s unparalleled sharpness and edge.

But then Li Xuan lost interest and prepared to tear through the void, returning to the battlefield outside.

However, in the next moment, the Wenshan Seal on his waist suddenly ’hummed,’ rising into the air from his waist.

At the same time, Lv Qiluo’s figure materialized beside Li Xuan, "Don’t leave yet! You should head to that execution platform."
