Chapter 1363 The Final Questioning of the Heart (Part 1)

Golden osmanthus blossoms, each petal shimmering.

Under the sun, the osmanthus petals flying towards Su Chang'an seemed to be carried by the wind, but they were actually like streams flowing by, crooked and twisted, dancing wildly without any order.

Grandma stood there, watching Su Chang'an rush towards the osmanthus petals—or rather, towards her—as if facing a formidable enemy.

Whoosh!

Osmanthus petals scattered, and Su Chang'an, dressed in blood-red clothes, emerged expressionlessly, surrounded by water mist, his sword intent flowing like a waterfall.

But unlike before.

There was clearly no sword aura around him.

But in that instant when it bursts through the petals!

The ground and everything around it were torn apart again in an instant, and streaks of sword energy and blade slashes suddenly appeared.

Grandma's expressionless face broke into a smile again.

Indeed, this Chang'an, which is easy to learn, is even more interesting.

Subsequently

Raise your hand.

Clang!

Grandma still held no sword, and as she raised her hand, a petal landed on the Moon Palace Blade in Su Chang'an's hand.

As Mingfeng stands out.

Swords clashed.

"but."

Grandma looked at Su Chang'an, who was looking up at her, and said softly, "But in this case, it's too lacking."

When this was mentioned, Grandma suddenly laughed.

"Phew~~"

The moment Su Chang'an exhaled.

Right behind the Great-Grandma, Su Chang'an appeared again. Amidst the flowing water and fireflies, Su Chang'an, who was originally directly in front of the Great-Grandma, suddenly turned into water vapor and dissipated.

The highest virtue is like water!

And in that very moment!

The sword intent that Su Chang'an raised high above the Moon Palace instantly condensed, and then he slashed down with a single strike!

But it was precisely when the great-grandmother raised her hand to block the blow that she managed to do so.

Su Chang'an released the hilt of the Moon Palace Blade, and the instant his five fingers came together, he opened his fist and threw a punch at his grandmother.

The drums hummed.

The Divine Drum!

Grandma raised her hand slightly and punched her palm. It felt like touching cotton; the punch was weak and powerless.

Wow!

Grandma's fingers twitched slightly.

Su Chang'an suffered another slash wound on his shoulder and arm, and blood splattered out.

Blood stained the osmanthus blossoms.

Then.

Whoosh!

The blood-stained osmanthus blossoms had barely reached Su Chang'an when they flew over!

Su Chang'an grabbed the Moon Palace, which had just been released and was not yet on the ground, with his other hand, and slashed upwards at the Great Grandmother.

Clang!

Grandma simply blocked it with her hand!

But it was only for a fleeting moment!

Wow!

Death energy

It spread like wildfire!

Su Chang'an's eyes instantly turned gray from their original moonlight color.

And at that very moment, his other hand reached out towards Tai Nai Huazhao.

There is a sharp, piercing aura in the wind.

Just like when the Great Mother makes a move, she doesn't have a sword, but Mingfeng is present, which is exactly the same.

Grandma raised her other hand to block it.

With his other hand, Su Chang'an had already raised the Moon Palace high, and then slashed down again!

Grandma watched the gleaming blade fall towards her, seemingly unconcerned. Beneath her narrow brows, her eyes were fixed on Su Chang'an, and the reflection in her eyes clearly showed a scene of hell on earth. "Is this the true meaning of life? That child Chang'an has really hidden something extraordinary by my granddaughter's side."

Clang!

A strand of black hair blocked Su Chang'an's knife.

Grandma gently raised her hand: "Then I'll play with you for a while, and wait for you two to become one."

As soon as he finished speaking

Grandma gently raised her hand, one finger twitching slightly: "But let me make it clear beforehand, Senior Moyue, if he fails, he will die."

Utter madness!

In the blink of an eye, countless blades rained down on the Great Mother, following closely behind her. Even though they were blocked, the Moon Palace appeared instantly in her other hand.

The moment the attack is blocked by the Moon Palace, Su Chang'an will immediately release the blade and use it to launch another attack.

Grandma seemed to offer no retaliation, only passively accepting the attacks.

But if you look closely...

Unharmed.

In contrast, Su Chang'an was completely stained with blood, yet he fought with increasing ferocity, his death aura growing stronger, and his suffocating killing intent completely engulfing everything.

but.

The real terror lies in those who witness the fight between these two.

Many people were pale.

From the moment they saw the Empress go crazy, with half of her black hair dyed white, many people felt a chill run down their spines.

It felt very similar to the feeling I had when I was Yan Yunxiao.

But this time...

However, what accompanied these hallucinations were wails, violence, pleas for mercy, mourning, despair, fear, madness, and resentment.

Even more disturbingly, scenes resembling a hundred thousand hellish landscapes created by combining these entities appeared.

"They're eating people!"

"Don't kill me!"

"ah!"

...

Fear and panic occasionally broke out among the crowd, but once they regained their senses, they found that everything had returned to normal.

Many people were puzzled by what was going on with these people.

However, it was right where Xia Fengxiang was.

I don't know why

Just like that day on the city wall of the northern border, she saw Su Chang'an again, and saw Su Chang'an being held in the arms of a woman and gently stroked.

Xia Fengxiang looked up at the arena.

Something happened.

Su Chang'an is in trouble!

I need to go there!

Ignoring his stomach pain, Xia Fengxiang immediately ran towards the arena.

But for most people, while they may be experiencing auditory hallucinations, what truly terrifies them is the scene before their eyes.

If we were to describe the scene just now as cutting the painting with sharp scissors and then placing it there, it would be a different picture.

So now

It's like a painting being completely shattered!

And it's right there among the fragments.

A man in red and a woman in white were locked in a fierce battle.

"puff!"

Bai Danrong coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It was as if something had collapsed in an instant.

Immediately, several disciples of the Miaoyin Palace were stunned, and the next moment they collapsed to the ground.

Gongsun Chunu, who was standing to the side, also turned pale.

But if you look closely

Liu Fenggu, Feng Jingtang, Wei Ran, Liu Huangwu, Wang Changcao, Lian Xinglan, and all the other Grandmasters standing side by side in front of the arena were all deathly pale.

Especially those standing at the front, such as Yu Taohua, Shen Tu Kuyue, Lian Xie, and Ximen Xuexian, had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths and their eyes were bloodshot.

From the moment the Empress appeared, all the Grandmasters of the Ultimate Realm rushed to the front of the arena.

It was as if a barrier separated people from the two beings on the arena who had transcended the mortal realm.

But right now...

Whether it's the sounds of hell depicting the myriad aspects of human existence that everyone hears, or what one can see with their own eyes.

Exceptionally clear!

They could see clearly what others couldn't.

That.

A completely collapsed and shattered hellish scroll, beginning with that red-clad figure, trailing behind her, a scene of purgatory on earth.

It was only to block the residual force of the two's previous fight. Even with everyone working together, they could barely stop them, especially since most of them were under Li Yunxian's control.

But only a glimpse of the Empress's true intentions has been revealed so far.

Unstoppable!

Even if.

Join forces!

"Pfft!" Ximen Xuexian could no longer hold on and her body swayed.

Yu Taohua's expression was unusually serious. As she took a step forward, she forced Ximen Xuexian and the others back.

But Yu Taohua's gaze had only just turned to the Empress when...

Immersive experience!

Yu Taohua saw someone take meat out of the pot and hand it to him.

He also saw children holding knives, staring at him as if they might rush at him at any moment.

"Li Yunxian!"

A loud shout reverberated through everyone's hearts!

It was this loud shout that cleared Yu Taohua's mind and brought her back to reality. The scene before her eyes had already disappeared, but Yu Taohua could clearly feel her heart trembling, especially when she thought about the appearance of that piece of meat.

It also made everyone here instantly clear-headed.

And the inexplicable sense of panic I felt vanished in an instant!

A white figure appeared in front of the arena, single-handedly blocking all the chaos.

The white figure's face was obscured, and its body was surrounded by flowing clouds and water, with countless droplets of water circulating around it.

If this is not a celestial being, then who is it?

"He transforms into the Heaven of Freedom, his Qi and Will return to One. The Old Celestial Master?" Lian Xie looked at the person standing in front of all of them, as if shielding them from everything.

The old master, who had just fled to avoid being beaten, now slightly raised his hand, then pressed it down, and roared again, "Didn't you say you could control it? Even if sensing these things is beneficial to them, you know how dangerous it is!"

Although blood was flowing from the corner of their mouths, everyone felt a sense of relief at that moment, and they all breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the completely white, celestial-like figure.

On the contrary, the blood-red color stood out clearly against the white body of the old Celestial Master.

"What's your name?"

Three words floated out lightly.

But the moment those three words were uttered, the frenzy abruptly ceased, and the hellish scene that could only be seen from the ends of the earth was instantly shattered!

The man in white, spotless, stood on the completely collapsed arena, one hand gripping the back of his red robe, now stained crimson with blood, and glanced at the old celestial master: "Since you've all run away, get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking

The old celestial master, who had been like an immortal, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body appearing as if he had been severed by a sword.

But after taking a few steps back, his body was completely unharmed, and he returned to human form.

The old master sat cross-legged on the ground, but looked at Li Yunxian on the arena.

Then he looked at the Empress, who was completely motionless.

He couldn't help but frown.

"Li Yunxian, let's go outside the city and have a match."

These were the words the Old Celestial Master couldn't help but utter after meeting Li Yunxian a month ago.

Li Yunxian looked at him and said, 'You're too weak.'

Then he left directly.

But right now.

Looking at the aura that they had managed to block with all their might, Li Yunxian crushed it with her bare hands.

Oh!

The old master couldn't help but smile.

The bystanders were all somewhat confused, but felt a sense of awe and wonder.

Because it ended all at once.

So I just looked at Grandma and didn't know what to say.

Just like when we saw Li Yunxian grabbing the Empress with one hand.

As for Grandma...

He raised his arm, revealing a torn corner on his sleeve, but his smile widened: "You little rascal, you've got some skills, managing to tear my sleeve."

Having said that, she looked down at Su Chang'an, who was panting heavily and clutching the blade in his hand but unable to move: "Senior Moyue, I originally thought that it was your intention that controlled this child, which is why I wanted to kill you, but it seems that I guessed wrong."

Snap!

Grandma let go of his hand.

Looking down at Su Chang'an, his eyes no longer held the interest they had just had, but there was no disappointment either; he had simply returned to his usual indifference.

"Su Chang'an!"

It was around this time.

Xia Fengxiang rushed to the edge of the arena, looking at his grandmother and Su Chang'an covered in blood. He wanted to rush over, but Ajali held him tightly, and Xia Mingqi and Chen Xin protected him behind him.

"Su"

But she only spoke when her great-grandmother turned to look at her.

Xia Fengxiang froze on the spot, his eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

Because he could clearly see that Su Chang'an was covered in blood, with visible wounds everywhere.

Immediately, Xia Fengxiang looked at Ajali and the others beside him, "Let me go! Let me go! Su Chang'an!"

...

"Am I in a really bad situation right now?"

Su Chang'an looked up at Mo Yue, her bright eyes filled with helplessness and guilt.

Mo Yue nodded: "Yes, after all, that old woman is very powerful. And I never expected her to be this powerful."

Su Chang'an couldn't help but smile: "How am I supposed to get back? I heard my wife calling. If I don't go back soon, she'll start crying again. She's pregnant, and crying too much is bad for her eyes."

Mo Yue looked at Su Chang'an.

Apricot blossoms slowly fell between the two of them.

Mo Yue spoke up: "I told you, you're also caught in the trap of inner demons right now. If you leave now, it means you have to accept that version of yourself and face the thing that made you make the wrong choice before. If you fail, you really fail."

Su Chang'an said softly, "But my wife and children are waiting for me to come back."

Mo Yue sighed: "Whatever you want, but remember, if you don't become a cripple, chop that old woman outside for me! And tell her, what's with all the arrogance of a little brat! But also remember, becoming a cripple isn't so bad, at least you're still an empress."

Su Chang'an looked at Mo Yue: "The result is not important, but I want to tell them the truth. Just like when you went to see that person named Jiang Lijue."

Mo Yue smiled faintly.

...

P.S.: Anyway, my problem is that a truck overturned on the highway yesterday, causing a traffic jam. I didn't get home until 2:30 am, and I've been writing this ever since, making edits and deletions.
