Chapter 221 Time and space stagnate!
Inside the Daxing Palace, noisy footsteps and screams mixed together.
To the north of Ganlu Palace, at the foot of the highest stone steps of Yanjia Palace, many palace maids were fleeing in panic, and the guards of Zuolingwei Camp were also constantly dodging the gravel and wood chips that were flying like hidden weapons.
A thick beam that one person could not hold flew out of the hall, crashing into the crowd with a whistling sound.
There was a loud "bang" and several people outside the hall were unable to dodge and their armor was broken. The terrifying force broke through the air wave, and the people around them screamed in unison.
The force had not yet been neutralized, and was blocked and rebounded into the beam, exploding into debris all over the sky.
"Back off!"
Seeing that someone else was injured, Yuwen Shiji stared at the almost shaking Yanjia Palace with a look of horror on his face and kept giving orders.
Suddenly, a figure flew out from the hall, as if someone had kicked it in the stomach, and it bent like a shrimp.
It hit Yuwen Shiji in front of him with a "bang".
Looking closely, the old man looked strange, thin and short, with the long sword in his hand broken and no breath left.
Li Tiannan?
Yuwen Shiji took another look and found that it was indeed him.
This man is a veteran master of the Li family and Li Yuan's cousin. His martial arts skills are far superior to Yuwen Shiji.
I had originally wanted to lead the troops and make achievements, but now I am already nervous.
There are a large number of palaces, pavilions and towers on the east and west sides of Ganlu Hall and Yanjia Hall, such as Chengxiang Hall and Lingqi Hall. They were originally the residences of concubines and palace maids, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. But now they are in complete chaos.
He was sure that the Great Master and the Shadow Assassin were among them.
It looks like there's an internal conflict.
Yuwen Shiji was struggling over whether to take the risk of surrounding the place when a strange voice came into his ears.
In an instant, he felt as if his head was hit by a stick, his vision was blurred, and his ears were buzzing.
"Ouch~" The surrounding soldiers covered their ears and screamed.
Weapons fell to the ground with a clang.
“Ha, ha, ha~~!”
The bold and loud laughter with a strange spirit spread out in all directions, stirring up an exaggerated wind, so that the red doors and windows of the surrounding palaces opened one after another, and creaked in time with the laughter.
Fortunately, I retreated a distance just now.
Otherwise, Yuwen Shiji would have been shocked unconscious. He gathered all his inner energy, sealed his acupoints, and without caring about the person who was still wailing, he dragged Li Tiannan and quickly retreated.
At this moment, a large number of people rushed in from the direction of Daxing Hall.
When he turned around, he saw Shan Xiongxin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao and others.
There are also many familiar faces.
For example, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning.
Then, suddenly a light "eh" sound came into my ears.
I saw an old man in brocade robe and with an elegant face standing on the bronze dragon head on the top of the hall, stroking his beard and looking towards the center of the battle.
It’s Ning Sanren!
"Brother Shi, what's going on?" After Li Xiuning finished speaking, he saw Li Tiannan being dragged out by Yuwen Shiji. Chai Shao was quick to check his pulse.
Li Tiannan had practiced external martial arts, so his bones and flesh should have been rough and solid, but now they felt as soft as cotton.
His internal organs and bones were all shattered, so there was no way he could have a pulse.
Upon detecting this horrific injury, Chai Shao couldn't help but retract his hand.
"I was planning to take over the Daxing Palace with my men, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards, who said they were following orders from the Li Clan leader."
Li Shimin shook his head at Yuwen Shiji, "My father can no longer command the imperial guards, let alone order them to stop. Do you know why they came to the palace?"
He spoke quickly with anxiety, and Yuwen Shiji responded even faster:
"I didn't see it, but I heard that it was Li Yuanji who led the way, and the eldest son and the head of the Li family came in hurriedly."
"Don't go forward!"
Yuwen Shiji had just suffered a loss, and when he saw Li Shimin walking towards him, he quickly reached out to stop him.
The masters inside are definitely not someone they can deal with.
Li Xiuning looked worried: "Is my father still in there?"
"I don't know," Yuwen Shiji looked at Ning Sanren, "I just heard a burst of laughter when I was close, and I was almost shocked to death. I don't know if it was the Great Venerable or the Shadow Assassin. When one of them laughed, my mind trembled and my whole body was agitated. Their power is really terrifying."
Several people turned to look at Ning Sanren.
"good."
Ning Sanren responded to Yuwen Shiji's words, observing the fight in Yanjia Palace clearly: "In terms of skill alone, they are probably even better than me."
What? !
Chai Shao thought he had heard wrongly.
“Hoohoo~!”
At this time, the wind was blowing hard, and several figures appeared on the glazed tiles.
First came the Yin Queen and the Evil King, and then even the people in the coffin palace appeared.
Zhu Yuyan looked at Zhou Laotan, Emperor Ding and others, especially Zhou Laotan. Since he went to the Temple of War God, his demeanor has changed a lot, which surprised Queen Yin.
"How many of you are here to arrest someone?"
"certainly."
You Niaojuan's shrill voice was still unpleasant. He gestured towards the palace ahead:
"This guy has cheated us several times. If he wasn't here, we wouldn't have time to join in the fun."
He didn't give Queen Yin a good look.
He was chased all the way until he jumped into the Three Gorges. Now it seems that there is no chance to take revenge.
"Oh? Then why didn't you take action when you saw him in the Temple of War?"
Mr. Zhou sighed as if it was natural:
"The significance of comprehending the War God relief surpasses everything. This man was able to break out of the coffin in the past. His ability is not small. I want to see how far he has practiced our sect's skills."
The Queen of Yin looked at Shi Zhixuan and suggested, "You can take advantage of the chaos now and still have a chance to capture the traitor."
Shi Zhixuan smiled at her, not in the least bit anxious: "Didn't Mr. Ning come earlier?"
"Ning still hasn't figured it out."
Ning Daoqi's eyes were fixed on the two people fighting fiercely in the hall. Feeling the waves of terror rushing out, he did not hide his emotions and exclaimed in surprise:
"What a strange technique."
Through the windows in the hall, you can occasionally see two black shadows moving quickly.
Every time the fists and palms collided, there was a sharp sound that made the person's soul tremble.
More and more masters gathered in Daxing Palace.
“Boom~!”
Suddenly, a giant snake formed by a physical spirit broke through the Yanjia Palace.
The big snake spread out a spiritual storm in all directions.
What was strange was that the tall and strong man in black in the storm seemed to have merged with his soul outside his body, and his body rushed towards the young man opposite along with the big snake.
In an instant, Yang Xuyan's body was tied up by Xu Kaishan's physical soul.
The power of the two sides' souls collided, and the Great Venerable's power was obviously superior to Yang Xuyan.
"You think you can use the Wisdom Sutra against me?"
Xu Kaishan smiled domineeringly:
"Did you read the last three pages of the Secret of the Secret of the Wisdom Sutra in vain? This time, it is you who finally made me successful. Don't worry, since you have become my demon seed, I will complete all the things you want to do for you."
"Yeah?"
Yang Xuyan, who was in extreme danger, was not afraid at all. Instead, his stern face showed an expression that made the Great Master suspicious.
However, Dazun is an expert at playing with people's hearts.
He instantly realized that this was Yang Xuyan's strategy to win over his opponent, but there were so many people around him that he didn't want to delay at all.
While testing with words, the Great Master released all the power of his soul from the great orifice at the top of his head.
And because he absorbed a lot of skills.
At this time, the strong wind emitted by the combination of vital energy and soul is enough to withstand the arrows shot from all directions, making many people unable to stand steadily!
“Go to hell!”
Xu Kaishan stretched out his hand to grab Yang Xuyan's crown, and the huge soul snake opened its bloody mouth at the same time, trying to swallow Yang Xuyan in one gulp.
At this critical moment of life and death.
Yang Xuyan suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the giant soul snake. A sinister and strange black giant hand suddenly formed and firmly grasped the giant snake's neck.
What shocked the Great Master was that when the black hand grabbed the giant snake of Yuanshen, it was like a red-hot iron touching ice and snow. The body of the giant snake kept melting and shrinking in his palm.
Yang Xuyan's momentum suddenly became stronger, while Da Zun's momentum weakened rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the snake that bound Yang Xuyan loosened and drooped.
The Great Master's body trembled with disbelief. He wanted to regain his consciousness, but it was impossible.
"How is this possible!"
"Hahaha!"
Yang Xuyan laughed wildly and looked at Xu Kaishan with a triumphant expression: "Great Master, you finally fell for it!"
"No, it's impossible. How can your spiritual power be stronger than mine?"
"Because." Yang Xuyan took a long breath, his eyes icy cold. "My pain is greater than yours."
"Feel it for yourself, this is the ultimate black hand magic skill!"
The black giant hand destroyed the giant snake of the Yuanshen spirit and reached over the body of the Great Master. With a scream, the Great Master's tall body shrank rapidly in front of people's horrified eyes, becoming just skin and bones.
The two of them had the same martial arts skills, and Xu Kaishan's power was completely integrated into Yang Xuyan's body.
In an instant, his eyes became brighter, and his whole body gave people a feeling of purity and clarity in the thick black demonic energy.
This sense of clarity comes from the soul.
The most powerful of the three treasures of the Great Master is the soul, which now becomes the nutrient.
Yang Xuyan glanced at Ning Daoqi and others, without saying a word, and turned back to Yanjia Palace.
The hall was full of corpses. Eunuch Wei of the Yingui Sect, Poisonous Water Xinnaya, and Changsun Chang of the Moxiang Sect were all shriveled.
Li Yuan has a plump figure, but his whole body is pale, the kind of pale that is squeezed to the extreme.
All the members of the Li family, including Li Yuanji, died in one place.
Yang Xuyan carried out a beautiful woman with blood oozing from her mouth from the pile of corpses. The pain in his eyes flashed away, and then he jumped to the top of the hall.
The south wind blowing from the north of Wei River, carrying the sweet scent of locust flowers, brushed across the gray tiles of the 108 blocks of the outer city, passed through the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city, and finally blew away the hair of Dong Shu Ni and Yang Xu Yan next to a white jade dragon head.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the two people's hair was flying wildly.
Everyone sensed his difference and did not dare to act rashly.
If the person in his arms was still alive, Yang Xuyan would enjoy this moment even more.
He looked at the people who surrounded him densely without showing any fear.
As the most famous assassin in the world, once he makes a move, he should escape regardless of whether he kills his target or not.
But at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the professional qualities that an assassin should have.
"Master."
Yang Xuyan stroked Dong Shuni's face and looked straight at the Evil King.
Shi Zhixuan asked calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Anyone could tell that this was for him to leave his last words.
"In this world, besides my master, I have no other relatives," Yang Xuyan said with a hint of melancholy, "Why don't you stand by my side? I will teach you all my martial arts for the sake of our relationship as master and disciple, and I will never make things difficult for you."
Shi Zhixuan's expression remained calm: "Talk to me after you sober up."
Yang Xuyan laughed.
He turned to look at Mr. Zhou and sighed:
"Old Sect Master Zhou, my all-conquering skills are due to your unique Dao Heart Demon Cultivation. You are indebted to me. If the Coffin Palace submits to me, I will become the emperor in the future and let you enjoy the wealth of the world."
"Human wealth?" Old Zhou sighed with disdain, "Would this sect leader be interested in it?"
"Putting you in a coffin actually interests me."
"Besides, what do you have to be the emperor?"
"How can I not do it?"
Yang Xuyan frowned:
"This world should have belonged to me! Emperor Wen's eyesight was dim and he couldn't see that Yang Guang had betrayed my father, causing his favor to plummet and his position as Crown Prince to fall. If it weren't for this, the world would have been in my father's hands and there wouldn't be war everywhere."
"If my father succeeds to the throne and passes it to me in the future, won't the world belong to me?"
This was the first time that most people in Daxing Palace knew his identity.
Unexpectedly, the peerless assassin who assassinated Yang Guang was actually Yang Yong’s son!
Everyone was shocked by his unfathomable skills at this moment, and was also moved by his identity.
Yang Xuyan's eyes swept around, and a terrifying spiritual force burst out. He opened his mouth, seemingly without making a sound, but it exploded in everyone's ears: "I will reopen this world and rebuild the Great Sui Dynasty."
Ning Sanren took a step forward: "The situation has been decided, please stop."
"Has the world been decided?"
Yang Xuyan looked at Ning Sanren:
"Emperors are always solitary, and I am alone, isn't that just right? Anyone who dares to resist will be killed. Kill one group, then another, until everyone submits. The so-called vast army is nothing but a decoration in the face of absolute power."
Zhou Lao sighed, his tone thick with sarcasm: "Is this all you're pursuing?"
"No."
Yang Xuyan's eyes shone with a ferocious, heart-wrenching veil: "I possess a long lifespan, making me a unique figure in this world. Before I shatter it, I will keep this world in submission for a thousand years."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, his words made people feel cold.
If he were to become emperor, I wonder what the world would be like.
“Arrogant!”
Ning Daoqi rarely frowned and looked stern.
After he finished speaking, his body moved lightly, with a carefree mood, urging the pure Taoist true energy to attack with all his strength.
He used the Eight Punch Strikes of Freehand to deliver a palm strike that was astonishingly powerful enough to daunt a thousand miles!
This palm strike came from the air, and the strong wind suddenly turned into Kunpeng, and suddenly turned into a bird.
The so-called little bird is free and unrestrained, while Kunpeng soars to the sky.
Ning Daoqi's eight free-hand attacks were obviously a step further. The powerful Taoist true energy was pure and strong, instantly breaking through the demonic energy and strong wind around Yang Xuyan and hitting him.
Success!
Ning Sanren's true energy entered Yang Xuyan's body and circulated through the Shaoyin Heart Meridians of his left and right hands. One could see the clothes on his arms bulging.
There is no fixed method for the Eight-Pounce True Qi, and there is no big or small.
Once the protective Qi breaks through and enters the body, victory or defeat is almost decided.
However, despite the impact of this energy, Yang Xuyan's expression remained calm.
Ning Daoqi noticed something unusual and threw another fierce punch that created a vacuum in the area of several feet!
Strangely enough, the punch passed through his body but still didn't hurt Yang Xuyan at all.
At this time, Zhou Laotan flew up.
Use the Red Evil Palm!
The rolling evil spirits came in the form of thick fog, covering the sky and the earth. Before the palm wind arrived, the stone steps on the ground collapsed into pieces.
But Yang Xuyan's body was like a huge black hole vortex.
He could not absorb the true essence of these people, but he could dissolve it with strange methods.
The Red Evil God Palm, like the Freehand Eight Pounces, was blocked by Yang Xuyan.
Shi Zhixuan, Queen Yin, and even Master Jiaxiang and Master Zhihui also took action together.
For a while
The true essences of Buddhism, Demon and Taoism attacked Yang Xuyan from all directions.
A terrifying wave of force exploded, the ground shook, and the Yanjia Palace shattered on the spot!
“Whoosh~!”
A black shadow carrying a demonic aura rushed out from the smoke and dust, stepped onto the roof of the other side and kissed the beast. Everyone was surprised to see that he was not only unharmed, but also had a hearty and complacent smile on his face.
Mr. Zhou was so surprised that he couldn't help asking, "How did you do that?"
If it were someone else, I'm afraid no one would answer him in such a situation.
However, Yang Xuyan has an unexpected desire to share.
Especially the looks of Shi Zhixuan, Yin Hou, Ning Sanren and the people around him made him extremely happy.
"Master Zhou, this is all thanks to you."
"Tell me about it."
Yang Xuyan said with a wistful smile:
"Back then, I obtained the fragments of the Dao Heart Planting Demon technique from you, and learned an alternative method. Later, I also obtained the fragments of the Longevity Secret Technique. The Dao Heart Planting Demon technique requires first practicing the authentic Xuanmen mental method to establish one's own Dao body and Dao heart. So, I suddenly had the idea to try to see if the Longevity Secret Technique could be used."
"Although I have found some clues with the help of the Wisdom Sutra, it is still far from enough."
"Later, I ventured into the Coffin Palace again to discuss the Dao with you. This time, I was the victor when I broke out of the coffin. Thanks to the progress you made in your research, and the Tongliu method brought by Zuo Youxian, I finally had an epiphany!"
"I used this method of merging the Dao of Longevity and the fragments of the magic book, utilizing the wisdom sutra's mental transformation of reality and illusion to achieve a simulated state, skipping the so-called sixth step of cultivating others and the seventh step of nurturing demons."
"Let the simulated demon seed and the Dao heart blend seamlessly, and use the Immortal Seal to transform the two energies of life and death, forming a cycle of yin and yang. From this, all that is left is the accumulation of vital energy and spirit, and you can skip the ninth stage of demonization and enter the tenth stage. This will allow the demon seed to be used freely and completely restrained, reaching the peak of the fusion of the demon seed and the Dao heart."
"Although I'm not practicing the orthodox Dao Heart Demon Seeding Method, I'm grateful for this alternative method. As long as I devour the demon seeds of the same origin, my Three Treasures will grow infinitely stronger."
Yang Xuyan stared at Elder Zhou and sighed, "Master Zhou, you're right. This is the intoxicating feeling of pursuing the ultimate in martial arts. You can never see the end, and the world becomes ever wider before your eyes."
He stretched out his hand, and a cold demonic aura covered his palm:
"This is the ultimate Black Hand Magic Skill that I developed based on the Scripture of Controlling the Origin of All Laws, using the two great books of Taoism and Demonism. This skill can absorb the three treasures of the same origin, and can also make all laws return to emptiness and transform into nothingness."
"Great Honored One, help me achieve success. My Yuanshen is completely perfect and has no more flaws."
"Do you understand now? No matter what kind of secret techniques you use, it will be useless to me. But I can kill you one by one."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou sighed and suddenly understood.
What Yang Xuyan had more than him was the "Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of Controlling All Things".
Use this secret method to turn the virtual into reality based on your own foundation and build those unattainable ideas.
Then, with the extremely thick primordial spirit and vital energy, the virtual part is combined with the substance, and finally it is perfect.
Thinking of this, he stared at Yang Xuyan with shock on his face.
Shi Zhixuan frowned slightly and spoke calmly, "He used the Immortal Seal. This technique has its limits. Everyone, attack together."
The words of the creator of the Immortal Seal immediately relieved everyone's worries.
For a moment, not only the few people just now took action.
The chess and sword master who was watching the game also drew his sword and used chess and sword techniques!
All kinds of energy gathered together to create a vortex in the space, wrapping Yang Xuyan inside. Ordinary people would be shattered into blood even if they got close to the edge, let alone falling into it.
The people around him couldn't even see clearly.
Under the strong mental fluctuations, the five senses were in chaos.
"Hahaha!"
The magic power was activated, dissolving all kinds of energy. Then a long laugh was heard, and the black shadow rushed out of the terrifying vortex of energy formed by the grand masters.
Ning Daoqi and the others looked very bad.
Yang Xuyan, who was unharmed, shook his head and said, "I do admire your skills, but you are far from being able to kill me."
"Master, this is completely different from the Immortal Seal."
"The two energies of life and death are actually your simulations of the two energies of yin and yang, so there is a natural limit. But I have mastered the Dao Demon Yin and Yang Qi, and the two are mutually reinforcing and infinite."
"Any method in the world that combines the spirit and the energy will be overcome by my black hand magic and will be dissolved in an instant."
"This kind of restraint is even more effective than the ten stages of Mahayana practice."
"Have you all given up? Do you still think I'm being arrogant?"
The two questions in succession made You Niaojuan quite unhappy. He let out a strange cry:
"How do you know you're not being arrogant? You haven't even stood before the Heavenly Master, yet you dare to boast of being invincible?"
When Yang Xuyan heard the word "Tianshi", he looked solemn for the first time.
Soon, he relaxed his brows and smiled confidently:
"Things are different now. No matter how strong he is, he only differs from others in the use of his vital energy and spirit. But in the final analysis, he has not escaped the scope of this realm and is still no match for me."
When these words were spoken, everyone looked surprised and suspicious.
This is too arrogant!
Yang Xuyan raised his voice and sent a message towards Daxing Palace: "Where is the Heavenly Master?"
The people surrounding the hall looked around.
The noisy discussions of tens of thousands of people were naturally very loud, as they were really upset by the powerful performance of the Shadow Assassin.
He is so confident, is he really sure he can defeat the Heavenly Master?
If he really wins, won't the world be plunged into darkness?!
I thought the world was at peace, but I didn't expect such a sudden change.
For a moment, the discussions became louder and louder.
But at a certain moment, the noisy sounds from Zhaoyang Gate, Daxing Gate to Daxing Hall on the central axis suddenly stopped.
Those who were speaking still had their mouths open, but strangely no sound came out.
People's bodies were stiff, as if only their eyes could move.
I saw a figure in white with a faint golden light flashing past me, flying through many palaces at an unimaginable speed!
To the south of Ganlu Hall is the Beihai Pond, which was originally the imperial garden for the emperor and his concubines to enjoy and rest.
At this time, someone in Yanjia Palace had noticed the unusual movements outside.
When they looked back, they suddenly seemed unable to move.
In other words, the flow of time is infinitely slow.
A light golden shadow passed through the Beihai Pool, stepped past the Ganlu Palace, and came directly to the front of the Yanjia Palace.
Yin Hou Xie Wang and others all saw it.
The young face was too familiar, and they naturally knew who it was.
But there is also a huge sense of strangeness!
Has the Heavenly Master arrived?
arrive.
But he himself is not here!
A feeling of time and space stagnation came over them, and even masters like them seemed to be restricted in their movements.
His eyes followed the man in white and came in front of Yang Xuyan as if he had teleported.
This. This is the soul!
The shadow assassin's pupils dilated.
The man in white came without saying a word, stepped into the air, and pointed his sword in his right hand at Yang Xuyan.
The next moment, thousands of golden lights appeared, dazzling the eyes, as if infinite sword energy enveloped the world!
The shadow assassin, who claimed to have invincible magic skills, had countless cracks appear all over his body starting from his eyebrows, and blood spurted from his mouth as he crashed into the ruins like a cannonball!
“Boom~!”
The air current between heaven and earth suddenly shook, the feeling of stagnation of time and space disappeared, and everyone returned to normal.
but
They were confused and stood there without saying a word.
…
"Yu~!"
At the entrance of Guangyang Gate, just south of Daxing Palace, Marshal Yun stopped the cow as if he was stopping a horse.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Daxing Palace."
Yun Shuai lifted the curtain and saw Zhou Yi walk out with a smile. He felt quite proud, thinking that he was very satisfied with his oxcart driving skills.
