Seeing this, Mu Qiuyao sneered: "Truly, you are the biggest joke in the Immortal Martial Continent. You can protect this little hussy for a while, but can you protect her forever?"
Boy, your behavior truly disgusts me. Such sycophancy is beyond compare; even searching the entire annals of martial arts history, I doubt I'd find another like you.
"What kind of 'Immortal Martial God' is he? He's nothing but a complete clown!"
Shen Zhao frowned: "I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to ask one question: things have come to this point, and continuing this entanglement will not benefit anyone. Why don't we stop here and go our separate ways? What do you think?"
"Is this the end? The Emperor's majesty cannot be dishonored. Today, you, Yu Xiyan, and Xiao Fan and the others will not leave the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land alive."
With a wave of his hand, Mu Qiu instantly covered the once clear sky with dark clouds, which then formed a swirling vortex.
"Disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Land, heed my command!"
"Imperial Edict: By Imperial Decree, the wicked Shen Zhao, Xiao Fan, Nangong Zixin, and Yu Xiyan are hereby condemned for their treacherous intentions and disregard for the Xuan Tian Immortal Laws. They shall be immediately annihilated. Anyone who disobeys this Imperial Edict shall be considered an enemy of the Immortal Dynasty and shall be executed without mercy!"
Upon receiving the Emperor's order, the disciples of the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land immediately formed a battle formation.
In a short while, the Nine Stars Trapping Dragon Formation solidified, completely sealing off everyone's escape route.
"kill!"
At Ning Ruoxue's command, all the disciples of the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land rushed towards Chen Zhao and his group.
The Beggar Emperor, the Knife Emperor, and the Sword Peak exchanged glances and tacitly joined the battle, engaging in combat with the people from the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land.
Knowing that he was not strong enough to join a battle of this level, Xiao Fan decisively pulled Nangong Zixin away from the danger to avoid implicating the people who were helping him.
Amidst the chaos of battle, only Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao remained motionless, staring intently at each other.
"My physical body is damaged, and I can only exert about 60% of my strength, but that should be enough to deal with this guy."
Shen Zhao shouldn't be at her peak yet, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be done for here.
"This round is different from the past. I can't use my spiritual energy, and I don't know if I can suppress the aura of the Great Emperor with my true qi and internal strength."
I don't want to be eaten so soon. It seems I have no choice but to take a desperate gamble.
Both harbored their own ulterior motives, and neither made the first move, thus maintaining a standoff between them at a distance of a hundred paces.
On the sidelines, the fighting had already reached a fever pitch.
Under Shangguan Qiuyue's protection, Yu Xiyan seized every moment to recover the spiritual energy she had just consumed.
Huang Xiaoting was now fighting alongside Liang Hao.
"You bastard, watch how I beat you to death today!"
"To tell you the truth, I've been putting up with you for a long time. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I really won't know how many eyes the King of Horse has."
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, but to Liang Hao's surprise, Huang Xiaoting's cultivation level was actually half a grade higher than his own.
Xiao Fan, holding Nangong Zixin's hand, faced the Kalami disciples of the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land with the spirit of Zhao Zilong reborn, an unstoppable tiger among sheep.
Ding Bu'er, on the other hand, hid under the table with the guests whose cultivation levels were not high, and took the opportunity to start building relationships.
"Brother, I can tell you're a wealthy man just by looking at you. Let me introduce myself, I'm the manager of the Qingyang City Fighting Club."
Here's the thing, I happen to have a shipment that needs to be sent to the Southern Region next month. I could have delivered it myself, but I want to give you this opportunity to make money.
When things go smoothly, we'll split the profits 30/70, it'll be like we're making friends. How about it? Think it over. You'll never lose out by working with us..."
After a long standoff, Mu Qiuyao gradually lost patience and finally decided to take the initiative to test the waters.
"Take this!"
Mu Qiuyao focused her mind and activated the Bright Jade Profound Yellow Technique. In an instant, a golden imperial light appeared behind her, dazzling and radiant.
Shen Zhao focused his energy on his dantian and concentrated on dealing with the situation.
"Yuheng Thousand Mountains!"
With a single palm strike, supreme Daoist principles merged with surging spiritual power, transforming into countless snow-capped peaks, which crashed towards Shen Zhao with overwhelming force.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Qiuyao had already reached Shen Zhao.
"The clouds are ever-changing!"
Without any hesitation, Shen Zhao swung out the ninth move of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm.
Compared to the magnificent Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique, this move was not too flashy. Clouds and mist swirled around it, unleashing two streams of true energy, one blue and one red, which converged and merged, spiraling outwards in a parallel flow.
The moment their palms met, a bloody mark appeared on Shen Zhao's lips, and the world instantly darkened, with wind and sand swirling around them.
The two figures separated, leaving behind scattered traces of ethereal beauty in the air.
"What a strange palm strike!"
"This woman is no ordinary woman!"
Both were shocked by their opponent's profound cultivation, and both saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, Mu Qiuyao let out a cold laugh: "Hmph~ Is this your confidence? Boy, how many moves can you withstand from me when facing a Great Emperor?"
Shen Zhao glanced at his right arm, which was covered in frost, and immediately activated the Southern Bright Fire to quickly melt it away.
He quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, calmly held up three fingers, and said, "Three moves. I'll only take three of your moves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao activated all his true energy. As he raised his palms to the sky, the dark clouds in the air were drawn in and began to spin rapidly.
"You want to use the power of creation to fight against me?"
While surprised, Mu Qiuyao's eyes flashed with excitement.
"In my previous life, I heard that Shen Zhao, the military god of the Yintian Dynasty, was invincible. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to fight him and determine who was superior. Today, I can finally fulfill this long-cherished wish from my previous life."
The next moment, Mu Qiuyao's body shone brightly, and a seven-colored spiritual wheel slowly descended from mid-air, with a hundred-foot-tall golden Dharma image appearing behind her.
"The Purple Star Emperor's Qi? The Supreme Profound Dao Body?"
Yu Xiyan was shocked when she saw this scene.
