The atmosphere in the Gansheng Hall was tense. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to finish speaking so that they could offer their concurrence.

Let's make this a fact.

Unexpectedly, a fool appeared and interrupted the emperor.

The ministers glared angrily.

Zhao Yunqi's face darkened, and he roared in his mind, "What do you mean?"

Others may not know about Mount Tai, but he certainly does. At this critical juncture, Mount Tai suddenly appears to challenge Xiao Zhixing.

How could he not be furious? "You've gone against your own will once again, old friend. What exactly are you trying to do? Didn't we agree on everything before? Are you trying to back out?"

The Emperor System said quietly, "This is the last time. I am not willing to accept this challenge. If she wins, I will be convinced and bind myself to her, and rule the world with her!"

Zhao Yunqi took a deep breath. "Do you really have to do this?"

That was a true peak level three expert of the Heavenly Rank, possibly stronger than a monster without illusions. Xiao Zhixing's chances of winning against him were slim.

If Xiao Zhixing gets into trouble, Dasheng's excellent situation will definitely collapse.

And the truth about Junziyuan is revealed to the public. Without Xiao Zhixing keeping things under control, how can the others behave themselves?

When chaos ensues, how will he control the situation?

The Emperor System persisted, "This is truly the last time! Otherwise, I will be unwilling to bind with her, and we will soon have a falling out. I need her to win this battle in order to suppress the disgust in my heart!"

Zhao Yunqi closed his eyes wearily, too angry to speak anymore.

At this moment, Xiao Zhixing had already walked out of the Gansheng Hall and leaped onto the roof, gazing towards the Luo River.

"Mount Tai?"

There stood a faint dark figure on the treetops of the riverbank, exuding a powerful aura, yet remaining hidden.

"It is indeed I, Prince Yuansheng. Haven't you been looking for me all this time?" A rough voice drifted over, echoing throughout the entire capital city.

Countless martial artists leaped onto the rooftops to watch the spectacle.

The bodyguards from all sides sprang into action, finding places to crouch.

With a few leaps, Xiao Zhixing moved like a ghost, almost instantly traversing the vast city of Shengjing and arriving at the Luo River.

"Hiss!" All the martial artists gasped in shock. Prince Yuansheng's speed was simply heaven-defying.

She's only twenty years old.

Xiao Zhixing stood on a treetop on this side of the river, looking at Mount Tai on the opposite bank. Sure enough, the man had a mole on his neck.

Taishan stared at her with a pair of violent and cold eyes. "Good speed. I can't wait to fight you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Xiao Zhixing raised his palm, transforming it into a blade, and unleashed a burst of energy that cleaved through space as he slashed at his opponent.

Mount Tai waved his sleeve, and two streams of energy collided in the middle of the river.

boom!

The river water, several tens of meters deep, erupted.

Taishan nodded, "Very good, you are indeed worth my time."

From the moment he took her on, he knew she was his equal.

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "You talk too much nonsense."

The two teleported instantly and clashed on the Luo River.

The overwhelming force churned the river water, like a tsunami, crashing against both banks like a raging torrent.

The force shattered the clouds in the sky, sweeping across all directions.

Biological activity is prohibited within a kilometer radius.

The martial artists watching the battle retreated one after another, unwilling to blink as they watched the two people entangled in combat while floating in mid-air.

Such a battle is a rare sight, perhaps only seen once every few centuries, and they were unwilling to miss it.

The increasingly powerful energy around them roared wildly, squeezing and expanding.

A certain invisible pressure makes it difficult to breathe; those with weaker abilities have already vomited blood and fled for their lives.

Xiao Zhixing reached out and slapped Taishan's head, sneering, "I've been waiting for you to come to me."

Taishan raised his elbow to block the thunderous blow, then flipped over and kicked back, saying, "You'll have to be the one to catch me."

"How arrogant." Xiao Zhixing raised his foot to kick him back, and the two used the force to retreat, then darted into close combat again.

"I ask you, is that demon in Shengjing?"

Taishan's eyes flickered slightly, and he transformed into invisible wisps of smoke, swirling around her. His palm strikes were ever-changing, each move carrying deadly intent. "Guess."

Xiao Zhixing was surrounded by an aura of defense, and he listened intently to catch his figure. "Is it in the palace?"

Taishan's eyes grew colder, and he did not answer, but his offensive intensified.

Xiao Zhixing kicked to the left, "That's the palace."

No answer is an answer.

Taishan revealed himself, turned around, and transformed his palm into a claw, grabbing at her Adam's apple.

Xiao Zhixing dodged with a flip and kicked him in the heart instead.

At this moment, they had become a blur to outsiders, and apart from Heavenly Realm experts, their physical forms could no longer be seen.

The force of the energy caused the Luo River to boil like water.

Suddenly, two bursts of energy shot into the river.

Whoosh, boom!

The river water was instantly eroded and evaporated, revealing the riverbed underneath.

The two figures finally separated, each with blood at the corner of their mouths.

Taishan licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled sinisterly, "You are the first person who has been able to hurt me since I reached the Heavenly Rank."

Xiao Zhixing's smile was even more terrifying than his: "Anyone who dares to harm this king will not live."

The two fought again, their speed increasing to another level. The Luo River beneath their feet was almost evaporated, and due to the force of their energy, the river water did not flow back for a long time.

Space was distorted, making it impossible to see, and the martial artists watching couldn't help but cover their eyes.

Suddenly, a murderous aura shot out from the bottom of the river and rushed towards Xiao Zhixing.

Black Tiger, who had been standing guard to the side, roared, "Despicable!"

He stepped forward and engaged the man in combat, immediately recognizing him as "Xiao Chi's subordinate?"

It was the hooded man who rescued Love.

The hooded man remained silent, yet his attacks were ruthless and deadly.

Black Tiger fought him to a standstill.

But he hadn't been fighting for long when another person attacked from the right bank.

Xiao Zhixing, who was constantly watching his surroundings, sneered upon seeing this, "Luo Wei, have you recovered your skills?"

Lowe's face was pale, and he thrust a rapier at her, saying, "Thanks to you, I won't die."
