Chapter 1169: Roadside Inn

As everyone saw, it was evident to the world.

Ying Ziyu, the Empress after Emperor Qin Huai, now known as Zhao Rucheng.

On the stage of the world, he drew forth the Son of Heaven Sword from his spinal dragon vein, and with this sword, forcefully shattered the Thunder Sound Pagoda!

At that moment, everyone present was shocked!

This was the Thunder Sound Pagoda that had easily defended against the finger of a Nine Tribulation Cave Immortal, hailed as "impenetrable to all evils, impervious to all techniques."

It was a first-rate defensive divine ability.

Yet, it was shattered by a single sword strike.

The might of this Son of Heaven Sword was truly "straight and without equal"!

Amidst the shattered lightning and dissipating thunder sound, Zhao Rucheng continued to step forward, the Son of Heaven Sword pressing onward.

Heaven's will is hard to question, Heaven's might is vast.

This sword would never stop, never waver; it was an order to the world, a decree to the four directions.

The Son of Heaven's sword must suppress the eight directions!

"I say."

Huang Sheli's voice echoed at this moment. She looked at the extraordinarily beautiful face opposite her, looking at this sword that subdued the world.

Her eyes still held a smile: "Did you underestimate me?"

This person was too beautiful, and when this person drew the divine ability Son of Heaven Sword, wielding its vast heavenly might, they became even more dazzlingly beautiful, startling and breathtaking, bringing her surprise.

Of course, her emotions would not affect her combat.

No matter how beautiful a thing was, it could not hinder her progress.

One could stop to admire flowers, but would not sleep beneath them forever.

This was Huang Sheli's enlightenment!

She raised the Bodhi Demon Subduing Staff high with one hand, using it to intercept.

At this moment, on this martial arena stage, she faced north with her back to the south, while Zhao Rucheng faced south with his back to the north.

The two faced each other directly.

Before the Bodhi Demon Subduing Staff she held high was the divine ability Son of Heaven Sword that had startled Emperor Qin.

And behind her, a hurricane suddenly arose!

It was a terrifying hurricane that roared like a dragon, reaching up to the heavens and connecting down to the mountains and rivers!

Although within the martial arena stage, separated by ancient restrictions, one could still see its heaven-obscuring power, almost engulfing every corner of the stage.

It was the divine ability, Jingfeng (Scenery Wind).

One of the famous Eight Winds divine abilities.

When this wind was gentle, the four seasons were peaceful and harmonious; when it was urgent, it came ferociously. Originating from the south, it swept across the world.

When it was gentle, it could bring peace to the four seasons, calm killing intent, and dispel disputes.

When it was ferocious, it roared at the sky and earth, sweeping away everything.

Among the Eight Winds, this wind was called "Auspicious." However, fortune and disaster are intertwined. When this wind was auspicious, one could enjoy peace and health; when it was disastrous, it could connect to sparks of calamity.

This wind carried redness, and strictly speaking, it was most beneficial to the fire element.

However, in the hands of a strong person, there were no limitations.

At the upper end of the tornado that connected the sky and earth, fiery flows circled with the wind.

At first glance, it seemed that Huang Sheli's Jingfeng divine ability had shattered the heavens, drawing down heavenly fire!

Wind and fire intertwined, igniting each other.

This wind was unavoidable; among the Eight Winds divine abilities, it had the widest range and was most suitable for group combat.

It possessed the power to change heaven and earth!

In the terrifying might of this all-sweeping, horrifying Jingfeng, Huang Sheli's voice was so clear—

"Remember my name, Huang Sheli! No matter how good-looking you are, you cannot... look down on me like this!"

The terrifying hurricane enveloped the martial arena stage.

Amidst the tremendous roar, people saw nothing, could no longer hear anything.

"What... what happened?"

Someone asked anxiously to a companion with better insight: "Did Zhao Rucheng lose?"

At the Qi Kingdom's viewing area, Xu Xiangqian also looked at Li Longchuan, his mouth opening...

"Be silent!" Li Longchuan said.

But seeing within this heaven-obscuring hurricane, a sword light suddenly illuminated!

Obsidian gold, brilliant gold, silver white, purple...

Magpie Bridge Immortal Geng Jin Sword Qi, Garuda Breaking Formation Sword Finger, Lesser Formless Flower Picking Sword Finger, even the Violet Qi Coming from the East Sword Scripture...

All the sword techniques Zhao Rucheng had learned throughout his life were contained within.

All the sword lights shone forth simultaneously, yet they were all like subjects bowing in reverence.

Ten thousand swords paid homage, paying homage to the Son of Heaven within this sword!

The divine ability Son of Heaven Sword, with its majestic sword light, was held firmly by Zhao Rucheng in both hands, and he struck down with a single, unwavering slash!

A word carries immense weight, like the Dao and the law.

When the Son of Heaven is angered, there will inevitably be millions of corpses, and blood will flow like rivers!

This sword split open the Jingfeng!

It landed on the Purdue Demon Subduing Staff.

Silently...

The Purdue Demon Subduing Staff also broke into two sections!

What is "pressing down with nothing beneath"?

"An" means to press.

When this sword pressed down, everything ceased to exist!

And Huang Sheli raised her head slightly, looking at the broken Purdue Demon Subduing Staff, looking at the upper section of the staff containing the Buddha's head, which was simply sliced off and flew away.

Her eyes.

Since Zhao Rucheng revealed his face, her gaze had never left this face, staring very intently and happily.

A gaze that was very serious in combat and also very serious in appreciation.

It dimmed.

That kind of happiness faded.

She began to feel anger, she felt this emotion of anger rise from her heart.

It burned her body and mind.

Why was her name Sheli?

Because for Huang Fu, who had truly entered orthodox Buddhism, truly been a monk, whose life was full of hardships, rising and falling numerous times, "Sheli" was the most precious thing in the world!

This daughter of his.

This daughter of his who was always a source of worry.

This willful, foul-mouthed, irritable, and troublemaking daughter of his.

Was Huang Fu's most precious treasure in this life!

This Purdue Demon Subduing Staff was personally forged by Huang Fu, the relief carvings on the staff were carved by him stroke by stroke. This demon subduing staff had been with him for many years, regarded by him as a protective artifact, and he would not let anyone else touch it.

Only because Huang Sheli said she liked it when she was ten years old, he immediately gave it to her.

Now...

Zhao Rucheng actually dared to break it!

No matter how good-looking you are, how dare you do this?!

Huang Sheli's large and expressive eyes suddenly gleamed with countless rays of light, countless fragmented images flashing rapidly. Like surging waves, like fleeting shadows.

And people were shocked to see—

That "pressing down with nothing beneath" sword, which had already approached Huang Sheli's face and was about to cleave her as well, the divine ability Son of Heaven Sword, in some resolute force, continuously moved upward, upward... moving back!

That section of the Purdue Demon Subduing Staff that had been cut off and flown away, also flew back with the same speed, and even connected to the other section in Huang Sheli's hand, even rejoining as one!

The heaven-obscuring Jingfeng that had been split open, closed back together.

Within the Jingfeng, the previously dazzling and brilliant sword lights of various colors, gradually dimmed.

The entire martial arena stage was once again enveloped by the Jingfeng, not seeing the light of day!

"What... what happened?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Their voice stuttered, and they didn't even notice.

He himself didn't notice, and those who heard didn't notice either.

All the spectators were immersed in unspeakable shock!

What kind of power was this?!

Zhao Rucheng, within the Jingfeng, was unaware of all this, still maintaining the posture of holding the divine ability Son of Heaven Sword with both hands, still trying to end the battle.

Only Huang Sheli herself, walking within the Jingfeng, was also walking within time.

It was the peak divine ability, Adversary.

"Life is like an adversary's journey, only I am the traveler!"

Its effect was very simple, it could be summarized in four words—

"Time reversal."

The river of time surged eternally, forever resolute, most ruthless, never stopping for anyone.

Only... the traveler against the flow.

The already happened confrontation was the optimal choice made by both sides under the influence of their灵犀 and Bodhi divine abilities.

At this time, everything began anew, but Huang Sheli had already gained new awareness, she had insight into the optimal choice Zhao Rucheng was about to make!

In a battle of strong individuals, this was enough to decide life and death!

She leaped within the Jingfeng, relying on the power of the Jingfeng divine ability, closing in on Zhao Rucheng.

And at that time, the Thunder Sound Pagoda had just been extinguished, the Jingfeng had just emerged, Huang Sheli's teasing words had just fallen, Zhao Rucheng's divine ability Son of Heaven Sword was still descending...

But it was already over.

She "predicted" Zhao Rucheng's choice, held the Purdue Demon Subduing Staff with one hand, and struck Zhao Rucheng's neck with the Buddha's head, forcing it in by half a section!

Fresh blood quickly stained the brass-colored demon subduing staff...

The clear light belonging to Yu Tu surged, and Zhao Rucheng fell with a crash!
