Just as Yun Liandu underwent a sudden and unexpected change.
With a clench of his fist, Ye Boqi unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Sword, slashing towards the suddenly appearing gigantic hand.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
While brutally beating Yun Liandu, the Book of Stealing Heaven discovered a spatial marker hidden deep within his soul.
And Yi Boqi knew very well that someone like Yun Liandu could not possibly be without protectors.
The purpose of the brutal beating was twofold: first, to shake the foundation of Yun Liandu's destiny; second, to wear down his fighting spirit; and most importantly, to force out his protectors.
Within the spatial marker deep within his soul, a unique evil aura emanated, an aura that Sheng Lingxiao had personally demonstrated to him.
The reason he stopped was not because of any so-called princely dignity, but to allow something deep within his soul to manifest.
But the moment his cold sword light flashed out, Yi Boqi was suddenly stunned.
Because the enormous hand, radiating overwhelming ferocity, had vanished, and from the opened spatial rift, a muffled groan of pain could still be faintly heard.
Just as Yun Liandu severed his own foundation of fortune and activated the spatial marker deep within his soul.
The Heavenly Emperor City trembled slightly, and then a spatial aura suddenly appeared deep within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Bo Jiudao, who was lying on the rocking chair with a book covering his face, reached out and removed the book, raised two fingers and pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Enemy Palace, then covered his face with the book again.
"It's like everyone has an old person who's not going to die."
"A direct confrontation isn't the right time, but destroying your spatial passage is a piece of cake. What do you think I've been waiting for all day long?"
The moment Bo Jiudao made his move, the spatial aura deep within the Heavenly Emperor Palace vanished instantly, followed by a muffled groan filled with anger and pain that echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Emperor City.
Bo Jiudao's lips curled slightly as he covered the book.
"If I cut off one of your claws, you'll never be able to return to your peak condition when the battle officially begins, making you easier to kill."
With a single wave of his hand, Yi Boqi grabbed Yun Liandu's corpse.
"Amulets that require the sacrifice of one's destiny and foundation to appear seem to have been used by your protector merely as a vessel."
Yi Boqi's guess was correct. Yun Liandu himself did not know that when he activated the spatial mark deep in his soul, he had to sacrifice not only his fortune and foundation, but also his life.
Although Yi Boqi did not know why the dark hand had suddenly disappeared, now was the best time to seize the fortune.
Yun Liandu is dead, and this illusion array won't last much longer.
Even if the dark hand hadn't suddenly disappeared, Ye Boqi was confident he could have cut it down.
It wasn't just the Star Immortal Body that achieved completeness that was present; there was also the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
The complete Heaven-Slaying Sword is named Punishing Heaven.
A single word makes all the difference.
The immense fortune entered his body, but before Ye Boqi could even begin to refine it, the Heavenly Stealing Book, like a vicious dog, snatched it away. Ye Boqi then began the easiest refining process in history.
He didn't have to do anything; the Book of Stealing Heaven had everything arranged perfectly.
What he needed to do was to integrate the power fed back from the Book of the Thief into himself and rapidly improve his cultivation.
He didn't really have a clear understanding of how strong he was right now. In order to avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Dao in advance, he had been suppressing his cultivation level.
But now, with the immense fortune sponsored by Yun Liandu, he no longer needs to suppress his cultivation.
But while rapidly increasing his strength, he also wondered who had just killed that dark hand.
However, it cannot be denied that the person who made the move was a friend, not an enemy, and it is very likely related to his cheap ancestor.
Damn it, I really don't know how that old bastard will appear in front of me in the future.
But Yi Boqi made up his mind that no matter how the old man appeared, he would immediately shoot him hard in the face and make him bleed from his nose and mouth.
This was written for the Bright Moon Ancestor; it's so despicable.
The place where Ye Boqi and Yun Liandu fought was very remote, because this was a place Yun Liandu deliberately chose to torture and kill Ye Boqi.
However, things took a wrong turn, and those Dark Dragon Guards who escaped the Heaven-Covering Array with him quickly headed towards the direction of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
Those who could fight the immortal elders of the Supreme Three Pure Ones Sect without dying were all extremely powerful individuals.
They received orders from His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the Celestial Empire at top speed and then unite all the court officials to defend the Celestial Empire's defenses.
As many troops that have already set out as possible return, that's all we can do. Don't try to rescue them; it's impossible anyway.
The crown prince fell into a trap and was trapped in Wuwei City. The chances of the large army that had already set out to fight returning were extremely slim.
The hundred or so Dark Dragon Guard experts who escaped were well aware of this, so what they needed to do now was to return to the Celestial Empire as soon as possible and then mobilize manpower to prevent the enemy from invading the Celestial Empire.
They fled in different directions and returned to the Celestial Empire in different directions, thus avoiding being wiped out by those who came to hunt them down.
The Dark Dragon Guard was personally established by Yun Qin Liancheng. After so many years of evolution, the Dark Dragon Guard has become the sharpest sword in the hands of the Yun Qin Heavenly Dynasty imperial family.
The term "Dark Dragon Guard" is a general term; the Dark Guards were responsible for intelligence gathering, assassination, and surveillance of court officials.
Those who were dragged out of the Heavenly Palace and killed by Ye Boqi belonged to the Dark Guards.
The Dragon Guards are the imperial family's personal guards; wherever the imperial family appears, the Dragon Guards will surely be there.
In comparison, the Dragon Guards are stronger, while the Dark Guards are a more diverse group.
This time, Yun Liandu led over a thousand people to Wuwei City, including both Dragon Guards and Dark Guards, who were among the strongest in terms of combat power.
Upon seeing the city fortress appear ahead, the commander of the secret guards, who had returned from Wuwei City, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
We're back in China now; it's not too late for anything.
As long as we follow His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions, the situation is not necessarily one of defeat even after the Crown Prince returns to the Celestial Empire.
Although more than a hundred people retreated from all directions, this border town was their agreed meeting point.
The commander of the secret guards landed on the city wall of the border town. Just as he was about to issue His Highness the Crown Prince's order, he noticed a man dressed in dragon guard armor striding towards him.
This man is named Liu Xu. He is not even ranked in the Dragon Guard. If it weren't for Liu Xu's good interpersonal skills, the commander of the Dark Guard would not have remembered that such a person existed.
Why are you here?
The commander of the secret guards immediately asked Liu Xu a question upon seeing him.
Unlike the Dark Guards, the Dragon Guards cannot leave the Heavenly Emperor City without orders, yet he has appeared in the border town.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xu clasped his hands in a fist salute to the commander of the secret guards, and then smiled.
"I am ordered to wait for the adults to return once again."
This eased the frown on the commander of the secret guards' brows, and he lowered his guard and asked.
"Did the Heavenly Emperor send you here to meet me?"
Liu Xu smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.
"No, I came here on the orders of my ancestor."
Commander An was taken aback by these words: "Who is your ancestor? What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xu patted his chest heavily.
“My ancestor was named Uncle Jiu, and I have come here to take you to see Yun Liandu.”
