Chapter 18 The Power of the Heavenly Sword
"You are the Great Emperor Qianyuan!" The man was surprised and quickly stepped back and opened the fan with his right hand.
"You guys protect the queen." Zhou An walked towards the other party.
All the purple guards flew over and surrounded the queen. Shangguan Rong immediately shouted, "Grandmaster, this man has great poison skills. You can't get close to him. You can be safe if you are ten steps away from him. Also, his cultivation level is not even at the Xiantian level. His Qinggong skills are extremely high, and his martial arts skills are average."
When the man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he wanted to slap himself. He flicked his fan and a faint green mist appeared around him.
Now that it has been revealed, he no longer hides it. If the man in front of him is really Emperor Taizu, he must be a congenitally powerful person, otherwise how could an ordinary person live so long.
"Poison!" Zhou An snorted and laughed. In his arms, he had the Hundred Poison Pearls given by Sainaimu. Most of the poisons could not get close to him within three feet.
Zhou An clenched his right hand into a fist and used the vast internal force of Qiankun Jue to perform the Qianyang Tiangang Fist. Before the fist was thrown, the extremely domineering internal force fluctuations were already making people breathless.
"How is this possible? He's so powerful before he even throws a punch. This must be a natural ability." The man was horrified. He didn't dare to be careless at all. He had no confidence in his poison anymore. He muttered something to himself, drew a seal on the fan with his finger, and then shouted, and ten silver fan bones flew out.
Zhou An threw a punch, and the domineering fist force spread out, blowing away the poisonous gas before it even got close, and then collided with the ten flying fan bones.
This fan bone is a flying sword refined by a man. Although it is not as good as that of a real immortal cultivator, it was also refined using evil magic and no ordinary soldier can contend with it.
However, when it collided with Zhou An's boxing gloves, only sparks flew, and then it was shaken away by the extremely yang and strong internal force.
The man screamed and, relying on his great martial arts skills, immediately flew away.
He had just jumped out of the wall when he felt something unusual happening behind him. He turned around and was so scared that he was scared to death.
Zhou An didn't know when he was behind him. The terrifying force of the punch hit his back, and his spine and ribs were instantly shattered, breaking his internal organs.
The man's flesh and blood spurted out, and his body shot out and hit the bluestone ground outside the palace, creating a big hole. The man was completely dead, lying in the hole like mud.
The Qiankun Step is based on the Yin-Yang Qiankun. The feet step on the direction of the formation, and the movements are like teleportation, fast and unpredictable.
The queen walked out of the courtyard gate and said to Zhou An, "Grandmaster, these evil people are targeting the Sun Moon Universe Pearl that you got, which is said to be a treasure of the immortals. Moreover, these people just happen to be in Qianjing. I am afraid that more immortals will come to Qianjing in the future."
"Do you know how many people entered the palace?" Zhou An asked.
"All I know is that there are many of them, and they are from the same sect," said the Queen.
"Let all the Purple Guards stay by your side. I will handle the matters in the palace." Zhou An moved his feet and disappeared in an instant.
The Queen immediately said, "You guys follow me to Qianyang Palace, the Emperor might be in danger."
"Yes." Everyone responded and then used their Qinggong skills to leave.
Zhou An jumped onto the highest roof of the palace and scanned the entire city. If the Purple Guards had not sent out a signal, he would not have known that the palace had been invaded. Fortunately, the queen was smart and not only stabilized the invader, but also extracted some information.
This made him feel more threatened. The Purple Guards were too weak. Facing those who practiced unorthodox methods, it was difficult for them to guard against them even if their martial arts skills were higher than theirs.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a noise coming from the palace treasury and he immediately flew over.
Seeing the imperial guards falling over there, a fat monk ran out of the treasury cursing, carrying a sack full of things on his back.
Zhou An pounced directly from the air and punched out with the Qianyang Tiangang Fist, which rushed down with masculine internal force.
The fat monk was startled and slapped the person with his palm without even seeing who was coming.
When the fists and palms touched, there was a loud bang and the surrounding ground was shattered by the energy. The fat monk screamed and retreated more than ten steps before he could steady himself.
"What an amazing internal force!" This time the fat monk saw the person clearly and recognized him as Emperor Qianyuan. He rubbed his head, threw the bag full of treasures, used his lightness skills and ran away.
He had just flown more than thirty meters when Zhou An caught up and punched him.
"This time the monk is finished. The inner strength of Emperor Qianyuan is too terrifying!" The fat monk was panicked, his face full of fear.
At this time, the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman rushed out from the darkness, one swept with a heavy sword, and the other stabbed with a short sword.
Both of them have reached the ninth level of acquired cultivation, and the martial arts they use are somewhat strange. Ghosts are entangled around the heavy sword, and pink mist is coming out of the short sword.
When Zhou An's punch collided with their weapons, the vast and powerful internal force directly knocked the two men back, and they both looked shocked.
"Drunkard, this man's Qiankun Step is too mysterious. It's impossible for them all to escape. If we join forces, there might be a glimmer of hope." The beautiful woman shouted.
"Okay, let's fight." The fat monk gritted his teeth and gathered all his internal strength. The three of them then released their strongest moves.
The fat monk's hands turned iron-gray, more ghosts appeared between the middle-aged man's body, and peach blossoms were flying around the beautiful woman's dagger, with pink mist lingering around it.
Zhou An did not dare to be careless, for fear of a disaster, so he took out the Emperor's Sword and performed the first move of the Emperor's Sword Technique, Fire Dragon Rising from the Sky.
The Emperor's Sword thrust out, and the sword energy turned into a fire dragon that roared and rushed out. At the same time, the true dragon energy in the body was attracted, and the flying fire dragon was like a real dragon, releasing the dragon's might.
Seeing this move, the three of them were frightened pale.
"I'm dead this time!" The fat monk's eyes widened in shock, almost popping out.
The beautiful woman turned pale, and she and the fat monk suddenly separated and ran away.
Only the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stabbed out with the sword, but he saw his companion running away. He cursed inwardly, but it was too late to evacuate. He only saw the fire dragon rushing towards him.
Then a terrible force came from the heavy sword, and it was directly blown away by the fire dragon. His internal force that protected his body seemed to be non-existent, and was swallowed up by the fire dragon. The hot sword energy crushed his body, and his flesh was burned to ashes.
The fire dragon disappeared, and only a red-hot heavy sword was seen flying out, piercing into the ground in the distance, emitting green smoke.
Just as Zhou An was thinking about chasing and killing him, the Heavenly Sword in his hand was infected by his thoughts and flew out automatically, transforming into a red dragon.
The fat monk saw the red light coming and was trying to use his martial arts skills to fly up, but he was so frightened by this scene that he lost his footing and fell off the wall to the ground, landing flat on his face.
Then the red dragon fell and cut off the fat monk's head, and then the sky sword flew towards the beautiful woman on the other side.
Although the beautiful woman's Qinggong was quite good, it was still far behind the flying sword. As soon as she leaped out from the roof, she saw a flash of red light, and then she was pierced through the back by the sword. She screamed and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhou An remembered that the Heavenly Sword itself was a thing of the Immortal Emperor. It had its own spirituality and could fly by itself, and could even carry its owner on the sword.
He showed a look of joy, stretched out his hand, and the Heavenly Sword flew into his hand and he touched the blade.
There is no doubt that the Emperor's Swordsmanship is a heavenly martial art. However, even if one has cultivated the Vast Universe Art to the highest level, the ninth level, one still cannot fully unleash the power of this swordsmanship. Moreover, the consumption of this swordsmanship is also extremely alarming. The last move consumed 20% of his internal energy.
If one does not have internal energy of more than a hundred years, one move by others may consume most of it.
At this time, the Imperial Guards arrived. Zhou An did not plan to say much to them. He used the Qiankun Step to leave. He had to speed up to light up the entire Qianjing map. He didn't know how many immortal heroes would spy on the palace.
Although lighting up these ordinary maps only gives you mundane things, with the experience gained from signing in at the Imperial Palace, when the entire Qianjing map is complete, there will definitely be good things.
