In an instant, sword energy and spiritual energy rapidly gathered and spread around.

At this moment, the power of heaven and earth surrounding Zhongzhou City seemed to be summoned and gathered frantically.

Then, a gentle breeze swept by, suddenly passing through the surroundings.

In the eyes of Ziyaoyue, Shuimu Yinji, and others, the sword energy, spiritual energy, and power of heaven and earth that filled the surroundings all transformed into countless strands of semi-transparent sword energy.

Under the sunlight, the floating sword energy filled the surroundings as densely as morning mist.

But as these water droplets condensed, Xia Zhengchun's expression became extremely solemn.

To others, these sword energies, which resembled mist and even reflected sunlight, were dreamlike and beautiful. However, in Xia Zhengchun's perception, each strand of these densely packed sword energies, which resembled water mist, contained extremely strong power.

Just as Xia Zhengchun's expression grew increasingly solemn, Chu Qinghe, sitting opposite him, once again raised his folding fan and lightly tapped Xia Zhengchun's location.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

In an instant, the surrounding sword energy, which resembled water mist, gathered wildly and transformed into a long dragon of sword energy that swam towards Xia Zhengchun.

As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding space began to refract light and shadow, as if the space itself was being torn apart.

In response, Xia Zhengchun let out a low shout, and the true essence and power of heaven and earth within his body circulated along a unique route, pouring out like a flood that had burst its banks and surrounding Xia Zhengchun's body.

Amidst the pervasive aura of terror, Xia Zhengchun radiated an intensely dazzling light, much like the sun itself.

A terrifying aura swept out in that instant and filled the air above the imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Under this terrifying aura and the oppressive force it was brewing, everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty, from the palace guards to the maids and eunuchs, felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them. They couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground, their hearts trembling with fear.

With a surge of energy, Xia Zhengchun threw a punch at the long sword energy dragon that was soaring towards him in mid-air.

"boom!"

The next second, a huge sound suddenly erupted and spread across the sky above Zhongzhou City.

Immediately afterwards, all the people of Zhongzhou City felt a noticeable tremor in the ground.

At this moment, everyone in Zhongzhou City turned their heads to look in the direction of the palace, their faces filled with confusion.

Inside the palace, as the force of Xia Zhengchun's punch collided with the sword energy in the air, the powerful energy, capable of shattering metal and stone, emanated from the two of them in that instant.

The terrifying energy surged around them like a raging storm.

Under the force of this energy, the nine-story tower behind Xia Zhengchun was blown apart as if it were made of bamboo sticks. The ground beneath and behind Xia Zhengchun also sank rapidly as if it were being sheared off layer by layer.

When the aftershocks completely dissipated, the ground in the area of ​​nearly ten feet behind Xia Zhengchun's feet had sunk by almost ten feet, damaging houses and scattering stones, leaving it like a ruin.

When Xia Zhengchun looked up at Chu Qinghe, his heart sank as he saw a large amount of Yang energy, true essence, and the power of heaven and earth gathered around him. Cold sweat instantly poured out from his back.

Although Xia Zhengchun was not injured by that attack, the buildings around him and behind him were completely destroyed.

On the other hand, after the dust settled, the ground remained clean and flat, and even the clothes of Qu Feiyan and the others standing behind Chu Qinghe were not lifted.

On this point alone, the superiority of the two sides is immediately apparent.

Looking at Xia Zhengchun, who was standing in mid-air relying on his true essence, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head.

Then, he slowly uttered a sentence in Xia Zhengchun's sight.

"It's weaker than I imagined!"

In that move just now, Chu Qinghe did not use his sword intent, nor did he use too much of his Dao Sword Realm.

Strictly speaking, that move just now was merely a casual one by Chu Qinghe.

The actual strength they displayed was far less than 10%.

Even so, that casual move had already reached Xia Zhengchun's limit.

The gap is still too large.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhengchun's expression changed repeatedly.

Before Xia Zhengchun could think further, Chu Qinghe on the other side made a move.

Chu Qinghe lightly raised his left hand, and a point of radiant light gathered between his left index and middle fingers.

After a slight pause between his two fingers, Chu Qinghe slowly uttered a few words.

"One sword, endless."

The moment the sound was uttered, thousands of sword energies suddenly condensed from the surroundings and then merged into a condensed sword shadow nearly ten feet in size.

The sword shadow vanished the instant it materialized, only to reappear in front of Xia Zhengchun the next second, less than a zhang away.

Upon seeing this, Xia Zhengchun felt a chill run down his spine, as if a long sword were held to his neck.

Feeling this way, Xia Zhengchun once again mobilized all the Yang energy, true essence, and power of heaven and earth within his body, transforming his spiritual energy into a protective shield.

And the moment the protective shield materialized, a burst of energy erupted from Xia Zhengchun's feet, propelling him rapidly backward.

But just as Xia Zhengchun moved, the sword shadow and its tip touched the protective shield that had been formed in front of him.

But just like before, the protective shield that Xia Zhengchun had gathered with all his might crumbled at the slightest touch under Chu Qinghe's attack, just like the softest tofu.

The moment the sword shadow touched the protective barrier, Xia Zhengchun's barrier was quickly torn apart by the swirling sword energy surrounding it.
