473 Chapter 473-long prepared
However …
This feeling didn’t last for long before Qin shujian had no choice but to withdraw.
There was no other reason other than the increasing pressure from du Chengwu.
At this moment.
He had also taken out his final trump card.
The 27-sided array board crossed the sky like a star falling from the sky. In an instant, a large array had been formed.
The combination of 27 square half-step Dao artifact grade array disks, coupled with the activation of the engraved array techniques, was even more terrifying than a three-seal Dao artifact.
In the array, twenty-seven stars were swaying.
Tens of thousands of rainbow lights bombarded down, vowing to kill du Chengwu.
“A formation!”
Du Cheng Wu’s face was solemn. The formation in front of him was different from the one he had just encountered. Its power had risen by many levels.
Thus, when the rainbow light struck.
He also used his fist to break the sky and destroyed all the rainbow lights in a domineering manner.
Soon after.
Du Cheng Wu took a step into the air and rushed towards the stars in the sky.
However, when he was about to approach the star, the void twisted and changed.
The distance between them had not been far, but it had suddenly widened.
In the center of the formation.
Qin shujian’s divine will covered the entire formation. The changes in the formation were all under his control.
du Chengwu, this array is set up by me with 27 half-step Dao artifacts. No matter how powerful you are, don’t even think about breaking out of this array in a short time!
Originally, he did not plan to reveal this trump card so quickly.
After all, it was not easy to make formation disks.
If there was any damage, he would have to find something to repair it.
Qin shujian had prepared this trump card to deal with other cultivators. He had never thought of fighting du Chengwu, who was at the peak of the Saint realm, head on.
However-
Now that the other party was determined to fight to the death, there was no need to hide it anymore.
The formation changed, and all kinds of mysterious things appeared like a flash in the pan. The moment they disappeared, they turned into a terrifying killing intent.
Du Chengwu’s spiritual will spread out. Every punch he threw out caused the formation to tremble slightly.
“So what if your formation is profound? you’re still far from being able to defeat me with this formation.”
“Why should I win? this place is not far from the Imperial City. Do you think the experts of the Imperial court or your rebel experts will arrive first?”
Qin shujian laughed and spoke in disdain.
“Moreover, the Army is currently pressing toward the Imperial City. I’m afraid that the other Dukes won’t be willing to help if they see this. After all, you’re more useful to them now that you’re dead than alive.”
Upon hearing this.
Du Cheng Wu looked calm on the surface, but his heart was heavy.
He knew very well what Qin shujian meant.
Now that the great Zhao’s strength had been greatly damaged, they no longer needed the coalition Army of the seven vassals.
On the contrary.
The great Zhao was in urgent need of manpower.
In this case, even if the experts of the great Zhao arrived, the experts of the other alliances might not come.
When he saw this, Qin shujian continued, ” I’m only here at the Imperial court’s invitation. I don’t have the intention of fighting to the death for the Imperial court. Why do you and I have to suffer losses and let others benefit? ”
“Why don’t you and I stop here? you go your way and I go mine. How about we let this matter go?”
At the end.
A kind smile appeared on Qin shujian’s face, and he looked very sincere.
To tell the truth.
He really did not want to fight to the death with du Chengwu.
In the end, it was because his strength was much weaker.
Even if the formation was set up, it could only stop the other party for a short while. It did not have the capital to completely surround and kill the other party. Otherwise, Qin shujian would not have bothered to waste his breath on du Chengwu.
As for what he had said just now, he did not scare the other party.
That was the truth.
If du Chengwu decided to fight to the death, then there would only be two results.
One was to destroy the formation and kill him before the experts of the Imperial court arrived.
The other was that the experts of the Imperial court would arrive before the formation was broken and then join forces to kill him.
After all, the Imperial court was determined to kill du Chengwu, who was alone.
At this moment.
It would definitely end with the defeat of one side.
Du Chengwu was silent for a while before he finally nodded and said, “”Alright, I’ll agree to your request.”
In order to show his sincerity, he restrained his own power.
On the other side.
Qin shujian also stopped his formation attacks.
remove the formation and let me out. Let this matter rest for now. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will not show any mercy. Du Cheng Wu said coldly.
In this regard.
Qin shujian’s smile was filled with killing intent. “I, Qin, am the same. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you won’t be beaten to death by me.”
“It’s good to be confident, but overconfidence is arrogance.”
Du Chengwu’s eyelids drooped as he replied indifferently.
Then, the scene fell silent.
It was obvious that both sides had nothing to say.
When he saw this.
With a wave of his hand, Qin shujian opened up a hole in the formation. The defensive power of the formation instantly fell silent.
It was also at this moment.
Du Chengwu suddenly exploded. His fist shattered the void and headed toward Qin shujian.
This scene.
However, Qin shujian did not panic at all. Instead, it was as if he had expected this. The gap in the formation changed, and it transformed into a 1000-foot-long blade that slashed out.
“BOOM!”
A great battle instantly erupted again.
“My heart is like the moon, but the moon is like the ditch!” Qin shujian shook his head and sighed. However, his expression was frighteningly cold.
“I can still leave after killing you!”
“Then let’s take a look!”
Qin shujian felt du Chengwu’s determination to kill him, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
Since the other party wanted to fight to the death, he would accompany him to the end.
The only thing he had to worry about now was whether Wu Lang was reliable or not.
15 minutes passed.
The battle between the two of them had already reached the stage where they were turning into white heat. Qin shujian’s divine will covered the formation. He continued to exhaust his own power to maintain the operation of the formation.
Du Cheng Wu, on the other hand, burst out with a powerful attack, constantly colliding with the formation.
The stars formed by the twenty-seven array disks flickered crazily. The spirit stones embedded in the array disks were now nearly exhausted.
Not only that.
Under the continuous attacks, even the half-step Dao artifact array disc showed signs of being unable to withstand it, and the array disc started to crack.
BOOM!
After another punch, du Chengwu suddenly said, “”You and I will stop here. If we continue to fight, you will lose without a doubt!”
f * ck your grandmother! Don’t even think about leaving now!
f * ck! Qin shujian cursed out loud. His eyes were a little red.
After paying such a huge loss, he still wanted to leave.
Don’t think that he didn’t know that there were several powerful auras approaching.
Qin shujian could use his head to guarantee that this person was definitely someone from the Imperial court.
Now that du Chengwu saw that his help had come, he wanted to leave. There was no such good thing in the world.
&Nbsp; so,
To Qin shujian, the other party’s words were no different from farts.
In the outside world.
Several auras were approaching.
Dan Hao took the lead and rushed towards the battlefield.
Behind him were the experts from the Imperial Observatory.
It was just as Qin shujian had expected. After Wu Lang escaped, he immediately rushed to the Imperial City to inform the others. The news that Qin shujian was being pursued by du Chengwu also spread out in an instant.
To Xi Yang, every celestial being’s combat power was indispensable.
&Nbsp; so,
He immediately sent experts to help.
However, in Xi Yang’s heart, he wasn’t sure if Qin shujian would be able to hold on until then.
Even though Wu Lang had said that the other party had already advanced to the heavenly being realm, he was still uncertain.
This was because du Chengwu was not an ordinary celestial being. He was at the peak of the Saint realm and was almost a half-step Almighty.
As for dan Hao.
After receiving the order, they rushed over without stopping.
He had quite a good impression of Qin shujian.
If it was possible, dan Hao did not wish for the other party to die at the hands of du Chengwu.
However-
In his heart, he had the same opinion as Xi Yang. He was afraid that the other party would not be able to hold on until their arrival.
However …
When dan Hao felt that there were still powerful fluctuations spreading in front of him, his heart was finally relieved.
The fact that they were still fighting proved that things were not irreparable.
With this thought …
Dan Hao’s speed increased again.
It was also at this moment.
In the void in front of him, thousands of formation patterns exploded and gathered together to form a shocking Saber Strike.
“Du Chengwu, die!”
Qin shujian held his blade with both hands, and the stellar acupoints in his body exploded at the same time. At the same time, he absorbed the vast amount of spirit Qi that burst out when the formation shattered. In the end, he unleashed the most powerful blade attack he had ever unleashed.
BOOM!
The shocking blade energy slashed down, and du Chengwu’s body retreated.
“Du Chengwu, you still want to leave!”
Dan Hao arrived just in time. He didn’t have time to figure out what had happened. He only saw a spear strike in the air, smashing towards du Chengwu with the power to shatter mountains and seas.
“Single! Haohao!” Du Cheng Wu was shocked and furious.
However, he had just endured Qin shujian’s life-threatening attack, and his qi and blood had also been shaken.
At this moment, facing dan Hao’s spear, he was unable to block it.
Puchi!
Du Cheng Wu took the spear head on, and his body was sent flying by the terrifying force. His body cracked in the air, and his blood sprayed like rain.
However …
He also took advantage of the momentum and turned into a stream of light to escape.
His speed of escape was even faster than when he was chasing after Qin shujian.
Seeing this.
Dan Hao could only watch in the dust and had no choice but to give up his plan to kill the other party.
At that moment, he finally turned his attention to Qin shujian.
Sect leader Qin’s current state was not very good. The flesh on his arm was torn, and the qi and blood in his body were unstable. However, that surging battle intent had not been extinguished in the slightest.
“How are sect leader Qin’s injuries?”
“It’s alright, it’s not a big deal. It’s all thanks to general Shan’s timely arrival. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have been defeated.” Qin shujian shook his head. He looked at the scattered pieces of the formation plate, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
Nothing.
There was nothing left.
Twenty-seven cubic meters of a half-step Dao artifact array disc and eighty-one Spirit stones were all gone.
The half-step Dao artifact was still alright, but it was just a bit of luck value. He still had quite a lot on him.
However, even the sky origin sect did not have many ninth-grade materials to refine formation disks.
More importantly …
The spirit stones that had shattered with the formation plate were what truly pained him.
He had just obtained a hundred spirit stones from Wu Lang, and before he could even warm them up, he had lost 81 of them. No matter how he thought about it, his heart ached so much that he found it hard to breathe.
On the surface.
Qin shujian’s expression changed continuously. Then, he revealed a look of defeat.
Upon seeing this, dan Hao’s expression froze and he hurriedly asked,”Sect leader Qin, have you suffered any serious internal injuries? please follow me back to the Imperial City and have the Imperial physicians treat you!”
“I’m fine.”
Qin shujian took a few deep breaths and forced an ugly smile on his face. “If you can give me a hundred or eighty spirit stones, I should be able to fully recover.”
“..”
Dan Hao directly ignored his words.
At this moment.
The experts from the Imperial astronomer had finally arrived.
Dan Hao immediately changed the topic. He looked at the people from the Imperial astronomer and said, du Chengwu escaped with injuries, but sect leader Qin has suffered some injuries. Let’s return to the Imperial City first!
“Alright!”
The people from the Imperial astronomer looked at each other and nodded.
Du Chengwu had left, and now the main thing was to return to the Imperial City.
Dan Hao turned his head to look at Qin shujian and asked, “”Sect leader Qin, can you still fly?”
“It’s alright, I won’t die.”
Qin shujian rolled his eyes at him. He had finally seen through dan Hao.
Stingy!
He was really stingy.
The losses this time were equivalent to the compensation given by the Imperial court being in vain.
This way …
That would be no different from working for free.
When he thought of this, Qin shujian almost had a stroke in his heart.
However, it was unrealistic for the Imperial court to foot the bill.
At this moment.
He followed dan Hao and the others as they flew towards the Imperial City. The stellar acupoints that had exploded in his body were all re-opened as time passed.
To a Deva realm human cultivator …
As long as it wasn’t a fatal injury, it could be healed by itself.
The special characteristics of the star Wanxiang body made Qin shujian’s physical body stronger than that of an ordinary celestial being. His healing abilities were even more powerful.
“Sect leader Qin, I didn’t expect you to break through to the Deva realm so quickly. I’m so embarrassed.”
In the air, dan Hao let out a sigh.
This was a heavenly being.
Thinking about it … When he first saw Qin shujian, he was only a cultivator at the spiritual martial realm. He had used many Dao artifacts to set up an extremely powerful formation and severely injured a demon.
However, at that time, he had not taken the other party seriously.
Formation path grandmasters were strong.
However, it was not easy to fight against a Deva.
However, things were different now. Qin shujian had broken through to the celestial realm, and dan Hao’s opinion of him had risen by several levels.
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian shook his head and laughed. I was just lucky. It’s easy to break through to the celestial realm now, but it’s hard to say if I want to improve further in the future.
“Haha, sect leader Qin is too modest.”
A strange glint flashed across dan Hao’s eyes.
The fact that Qin shujian was the reincarnation of a powerful being had already been confirmed a long time ago.
Now, from the other party’s words, he could hear some hidden meaning.
He was able to break through to the celestial realm because of the foundation he had left behind from his previous life. Now that his Foundation had been exhausted, he would not be able to advance so quickly in the future.
In this regard.
Dan Hao also believed it.
After all, no matter how strong the foundation of a reincarnated Almighty was, it could not be endless.
It was already unbelievable that the other party could break through to the celestial realm in such a short time.
Just as the two of them were conversing.
A vast Imperial City appeared in Qin shujian’s line of sight.
In the sky, faint yellow clouds appeared.
It was the transformation from nothingness to reality when luck was extremely rich.
Qin shujian took a deep breath when he saw this.
the luck has reached a level that can be seen with the naked eye. What kind of tyrannical National luck is this to be able to reach this step!
The current luck of Yuan sect was already prosperous enough.
But even so …
They also didn’t have the qualifications to be like the Imperial City, where luck directly appeared.
For those who had never seen fortune, the yellow clouds above the Imperial City were more like a phenomenon that highlighted the extraordinariness of the Imperial court.
However, for those who had some understanding of fate.
Only then could he understand.
How terrifying was the scene in front of him?
The fluctuations in Qin shujian’s heart had also attracted dan Hao’s attention. He could not help but ask, “”Is there anything I can help you with, sect leader Qin?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just shocked by the Fortune of the Imperial City.”
Qin shujian returned to his senses and smiled. He shook his head and said, ” the fate of the great Zhao dynasty is really vast. No wonder it could rule the world for thousands of years. If I hadn’t come to the Imperial City, I wouldn’t have had the chance to see such a scene.
“Haha, sect leader Qin, you’re too kind.”
Dan Hao laughed.
He only treated Qin shujian’s words as a form of flattery.
However …
The experts from the Imperial astronomer exchanged a look and saw something in each other’s eyes.
This sect leader Qin could recognize the Fortune of the country.
That was interesting.
Qin shujian did not say much about this issue.
At present, the Imperial City was prosperous, but one could see a blood cloud clashing with it.
That was the killing intent of a militarist.
This also meant that the great Zhao was currently in a state of chaos.
Not long after.
The few of them entered the Imperial City.
“General Shan, sect leader Qin, we still need to report back, so we’ll take our leave first,” an expert from the Imperial Observatory said.
“Take care, everyone!” Dan Hao cupped his hands.
Qin shujian, who was at the side, also cupped his hands as a gesture.
After that, the experts from the Imperial astronomer left.
After the experts from the Imperial astronomer left, dan Hao said,”Originally, sect master Qin should have gone to see his Majesty when he arrived. However, sect master Qin has suffered a lot of injuries, so I will take you to the mansion to recuperate.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after sect leader Qin’s injuries have fully recovered.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Qin shujian did not reject him.
In his current state, he really needed to rest.
Although Deva realm cultivators had strong self-healing abilities, they could not recover in an instant.
Not to mention.
The injuries on his body were left behind by his fight with du Chengwu.
The heavenly cycle stellar acupoints in his body had exploded, and he was in a mess. Even though he had recovered a lot, he was still not much better.
As a result.
Qin shujian’s strength was already in a delicate state.
Very quickly.
Dan Hao brought Qin shujian to a mansion.
“General Mingyuan’s residence!” Qin shujian finally understood where he was when he saw the horizontal board in front of the mansion.
“Sect leader Qin’s injuries have yet to recover. Since du Chengwu is so eager to kill you, perhaps the other rebels will have other ideas.
However, we can’t allow small fries to invade.”
Dan Hao’s eyes were cold as he spoke with hidden killing intent.
“Could it be that there’s someone who would dare to carry out an assassination in the Imperial City?” Qin shujian asked.
of course not in the past, but it’s hard to say with the current situation … Dan Hao helplessly shook his head, his brows furrowed with worry.
As the two of them conversed.
The guards at the gate had already consciously opened the door and retreated to the side.
“Old master!”
When dan Hao and Qin shujian walked in, an old Butler came up to them.
“Master!”
this is Qin shujian, sect master Qin of Yuan sect. Arrange a quiet place for him to rest. Don’t let anyone disturb him. Dan Hao looked at Qin shujian as he spoke.
“Sect master Qin, you can rest first today. If there is anything you need, just let the servants know. I’m afraid I have to go to the Imperial court for today’s matter, so I can’t receive you for the time being.”
“General Shan, you can go on your own.”
Qin shujian smiled and followed behind the old Butler.
General Mingyuan’s residence was very big.
At the very least, only the Marquis of northcloud’s residence in Zong yang city could compare to it.
Other than that.
There were many experts in the general’s office.
Qin shujian could sense the auras of at least three or four people at the peak of the divine martial realm.
There were also many powerhouses below the peak of the divine martial realm.
The power of the general’s office alone was enough to compete with the major sects of a large region, or even surpass them.
The old Butler led Qin shujian here and there. In the end, they arrived at a quiet courtyard. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to speak respectfully.
sect leader Qin, you can rest in this courtyard. There are already servants cleaning up the place. There are also guards and servants in front of the courtyard. If you need anything, just let me know.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
sect leader Qin is too polite. You are the old master’s friend, so you are naturally an honored guest. How would we dare to slight you? ” The old Butler said respectfully.
Although he was a seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister …
However, it also depended on who the target was.
To an ordinary person, a Butler and servant in general Ming Yuan’s residence was not someone that others could offend at will.
But at the same time.
In front of a person of noble status, a servant would always be a servant.
From the way dan Hao treated Qin shujian …
The old Butler knew that the other party’s identity was definitely not that simple.
Even some of the officials from the same dynasty might not have been able to make dan Hao so polite. Furthermore, the faint aura that Qin shujian was exuding made one’s heart tremble.
This was an expert!
An expert whose cultivation base had reached the peak.
As the Butler of general Mingyuan’s residence, he was not weak at all. He could be considered a Grand cultivator of the divine martial realm.
As a result.
It could even make him feel great pressure.
Other than Deva-level cultivators, there were no other existences.
Soon after.
Qin shujian walked into the courtyard. There were two pretty female servants standing on his left and right.
After seeing someone enter, the two of them bowed and said in a sweet voice, “”This servant greets Milord!”
“En!”
Qin shujian’s gaze didn’t change as he walked toward his room.
The two maidservants immediately stood up and opened the door, one on the left and one on the right.
Just as Qin shujian entered, the two of them were about to follow him in. However, just as they were about to enter, they heard a voice.
“All of you may leave. I prefer peace and quiet, and I don’t wish to be disturbed by too many people!”
“Yes!”
The two maidservants looked a little disappointed, but they quickly recovered and left respectfully.
When he left, he even thoughtfully closed the door.
On the other side.
Qin shujian did not immediately enter a state of healing after he scanned the room.
Instead, he first set up a simple formation in the surroundings before sitting cross-legged on the bed and silently recovering from his injuries.
