The one hundred and twenty zhang of Daning equate to four hundred meters of the modern day.

That is to say, the height of these city walls is equivalent to a modern skyscraper a hundred stories tall.

Such exaggerated stone walls were designed specifically to defend against the descendants of the giant gods from the North.

These descendants, often ten to twenty zhang tall, and not infrequently reaching a height of fifty to sixty zhang, could only be fended off by the astonishing heights of these massive city walls.

Wang’an City is the key strategic point between North and South, the requisite passage for the Northern forces marching into the Southern states.

Therefore, this is not only the Capital of Daning but also a fortress to defend against the Northern descendants of the giant gods and Barbarian tribes.

Chu Xisheng was actually quite surprised.

Three days ago, he had already sensed a vague premonition of danger in the depths of his soul.

But until their official ship arrived at the Capital City, everything had gone smoothly without encountering any peril.

Ahead lies the Capital City, and the assassins will no longer have a chance to strike,

“Finally, we have arrived at the Capital City.”

Zuo Qingyun’s face was wistful, turning back to look at Chu Xisheng with great reluctance, “It’s time to part again.

To hell with the damned immortals!

I, Zuo, have been tough since childhood, seldom shedding tears.

Yet today, just thinking about separating from you, Xisheng, and heading in different directions, fills me with the urge to cry a river.”

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but shudder at these words, his body breaking out in goosebumps, “The way you speak, those who don’t know would think we’re lovers parting.

Let me make this clear beforehand, I, Chu, absolutely do not indulge in the passions of Longyang.

If you dare entertain such improper thoughts, I’ll break ties with you.”

In this world, there was also the figure of Longyang.

Zuo Qingyun’s face darkened upon hearing this, reflecting on his own words, he too felt they were overly enthusiastic.

With a sheepish smile, he then gestured to his servant to bring over a bottle of wine and two cups.

Zuo Qingyun first poured a cup of wine for Chu Xisheng, “In my entire life, I have quite a few friends but among them, you are the only one who can be called a friend who’s been through life and death with me.”

He poured himself a cup as well and said solemnly, “However, there is no feast that does not end.

This cup, we toast to our parting and our friendship.”

Chu Xisheng laughed and drank in one gulp, “A close friend in the world is like a neighbour across the sea.

The bond between us cannot be hindered by mountains and rivers, why be melancholic?

I believe there will be a day when we meet again!”

Zuo Qingyun also drank heartily, “Well said, a close friend in the world is like a neighbour across the sea!

Let’s set it straight!”

Then he expressed his regret, “It’s a pity we have wine but no dishes.

The feast I bought was kicked over by Mad Blade Wang Ming.

Not having the farewell banquet in Xiushui is one thing, but missing it after entering the Capital City is another.”

Chu Xisheng burst into laughter upon hearing this, “Perhaps it’s because our fate has not yet run its course, and it’s not time for the farewell banquet—”

At that moment, Chu Xisheng’s eyes flickered, and he took a step to the left.

As expected, in the next instant, Mad Blade Wang Ming passed by his right side wielding a Yan Ling Saber.

A moment ago, had Chu Xisheng dodged just a bit slower, his hair would have been cleanly cut off.

Now at Chu Xisheng’s side, there was a sound of ‘clang’ as if of a tiger’s roar and a dragon’s chant.

Chu Xisheng was holding the wine cup in his right hand and could only draw his sword with his left, but his Gentle Wind Thunder Blade was still as swift as lightning and almost hit Mad Blade Wang Ming squarely in the chest.

Wang Ming managed to block in the nick of time, then his entire body was blasted down into the water again, sinking several feet.

Wang Ming’s cultivation was Seventh Rank, and his Bloodline Talent was of the Super Genius Level, naturally his strength surpassed Chu Xisheng’s.

However, with Chu Xisheng’s White Horse is Not a Horse technique, his Gentle Wind Thunder Blade managed to slash nearly up to one chi in front of Wang Ming’s chest before Wang Ming could barely discern the blade’s position, leaving him no time to gather his full strength.

Chu Xisheng then locked onto Wang Ming’s Qi with his Divine Thought, tracing his movements and whereabouts.

His Heluo Fish Zombie also quickly extended its tentacles.

Unfortunately, contrary to hopes, Wang Ming managed to escape ahead of time, disappearing in the river water before the Heluo Fish Zombie’s tentacles could reach him.

This time, however, Wang Ming let out a laugh.

“Brother Chu is indeed an interesting man, but I have now fully grasped your blade technique!

Tonight I’ll give you one night to rest well, shake off the dust of travel.

Tomorrow morning, our decisive battle will take place at West City Pier, don’t be absent!”

The voice seemed to come from all around, then disappeared without a trace.

Zuo Qingyun’s brow furrowed slightly, looking sideways at Chu Xisheng, “Judging by his tone, he seems quite confident.

How sure are you of winning?

If you’re certain to win, I might place a bet at the gambling house.”

Chu Xisheng clicked his tongue, “How to put it?

He hasn’t seen through me, but I have already seen through him.”

As he spoke, his eyes took on an unusual light when looking towards his Martial Arts Treasure Vault.

Pure Yang (Sixth Rank) — Requires 165,625 Martial Arts Points

Time Instant Shadow Body (Sixth Rank) — Requires 109,375 Martial Arts Points.

Today, Chu Xisheng didn’t know what luck he had stumbled upon but, after practicing the Nourishing Essence Skill in the morning, he had unlocked two Sixth Rank Bloodline Talents in one go.

And either of them could double his strength.

So, the ‘me’ of today and the ‘me’ of tomorrow are vastly different.

Chu Xisheng then looked at Zuo Qingyun with a dubious expression, “You’re going to enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice, aren’t you?

That’s one of the so-called ‘Heavenly Prisons’.

Are you still going to be able to place a bet at the gambling house?”

“Though I do have to go to prison, after all, I was only implicated by the old man and not a criminal.

Mei Niang has also arranged everything for me in the prison, so it won’t be a problem for me to have someone place a bet on my behalf.”
