Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This made many people look at Cui Dahe angrily. They murmured curses under their breath.
Boom!
Cui Dahe’s words didn’t faze the Heavenly Emperor. She remained unfazed, her eyes cold as she swept her hand, and three thousand strands of green silk transformed into three thousand long swords, slashing out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At that moment, the city stirred up a cloud of dust. The Heavenly Emperor showcased her formidable power, leaving the onlookers shocked and frightened.
“Petty tricks, not worth a blow.” Yet, Cui Dahe was disdainful. With a sweeping motion of his large hand, he directly enveloped the Heavenly Emperor, intending to capture her.
At this moment, within Cui Dahe’s body, numerous acupoints emitted formidable energy fluctuations. These were the divine spirits he nurtured, providing him with energy.
He executed the Great Capturing Hand technique.
His intention was not to harm the Heavenly Emperor’s body. She was his son’s prospective wife, and he needed her intact body so that even after killing her and descending into Hell, he could remain whole and accompany his son.
Boom!
The Great Capturing Hand descended, shattering the Heavenly Emperor’s three thousand strands of green silk, severing half of them. However, in the next moment, the Heavenly Emperor’s green silk automatically regenerated.
She remained composed. She calmly stood in the void and spread her hands. The energy in her body surged and rushed out from the top of her head. Then, a door appeared in the sky.
“Gate of Xuanpin!”
The Heavenly Emperor had used all of her power to summon this door. It was extremely terrifying.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The phantom of the Gate of Xuanpin was summoned, and it immediately emitted an extremely terrifying might that suppressed the entire battlefield. Cui Dahe wanted to block it, but his knees went soft from the pressure and he knelt on the ground. He looked up in horror and saw the Heavenly Emperor who had spread her arms and stood alone, as well as the extremely terrifying and mysterious door behind her.
“This… This is a celestial artifact, and it’s even a phantom. A mere phantom has me unable to stand. If it were the true magic treasure, how formidable would it be?” Cui Dahe exclaimed in shock.
The crowd shared Cui Dahe’s astonishment.
At this moment, within Cui Dahe’s body, numerous acupoints emitted
formidable energy fluctuations. These were the divine spirits he nurtured,
providing him with energy.
What kind of formidable celestial artifact was this?
Even a mere phantom suppressed Cui Dahe to the point of immobility. Keep in mind that Cui Dahe also possessed a celestial artifact.
“Celestial Artifact Hidden Edge Sword!” Cui Dahe promptly summoned his immortal sword, aiming to confront the phantom.
However, it only produced a cracking sound.
The Heavenly Emperor descended slowly, accompanied by the phantom door.
Cui Dahe’s Immortal Sword shattered, and the overwhelming pressure caused him to cough up blood and collapse to the ground.
“I’m surrendering!!!”
Cui Dahe was so frightened that he roared. He tried his best to raise a hand and waved a white flag.
“Surrendering results in a half-loss. Please spare my life,” Cui Dahe hastily pleaded.
The Heavenly Emperor maintained an indifferent expression, paying no attention. With the phantom of the Gate of Xuanpin, she directly pressed it down.
Boom!
Cui Dahe was instantly crushed into a spray of blood, mirroring his son’s fate, leaving no intact remains.
The Heavenly Emperor then dispelled the Gate of Xuanpin, coldly stating, “If you’re so afraid that your son won’t have anyone to accompany him on his journey to the netherworld, then you should accompany him.”
In a match where everyone perceived a significant power disparity, the outcome was undoubtedly one-sided.
And the final result proved just that, it was a complete one-sided victory.
However, the process left everyone astounded. The Heavenly Emperor effortlessly overwhelmed Cui Dahe.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the formidable phantom of a celestial artifact was summoned, turning the tide of the battle.
Immediately, someone wanted to inquire about the celestial artifact used by the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor didn’t give them the chance. With just a glance at Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji, the Heavenly Emperor turned and soared into the clouds, disappearing.
By killing Cui Dahe, she had revealed her trump card. Staying in Chang’an City would bring trouble, so leaving was a wiser choice.
Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji understood this. After the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, they didn’t linger and turned to depart.
On their way back, Li Qingshan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Though they were acquainted, they had only met once through the sky’s large screen.
“I saw Immortal Northstar,” Li Qingshan called out, stopping Xia Wuji. “Immortal Northstar is also in Chang’an?” Xia Wuji looked around in surprise.
Li Qingshan swiftly caught up. As they walked, they arrived at the area where the official personnel resided.
Li Qingshan didn’t venture inside recklessly. His experience in Wei City had taught him to avoid the regions where official personnel dwelled.
“Where is Immortal Northstar?” Xia Wuji followed and asked Li Qingshan, scanning the surroundings but finding no trace of Immortal Northstar.
Li Qingshan shook his head. “We lost him. It seems like he knows we’re looking for him and is deliberately avoiding us.”
“I didn’t intentionally avoid you.” As soon as Li Qingshan finished speaking, a voice responded promptly.
Surprised, Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji turned around to see Immortal Northstar.
With grace and humility, Immortal Northstar smiled when he saw Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji. “I was wondering who was chasing me. I didn’t expect it to be a friend from the Human World.’
“I didn’t expect you to appear in Chang’an City,” Li Qingshan responded.
“I came to Chang’an to kill someone,” Immortal Northstar declared.
“Kill whom?” Xia Wuji asked curiously. “What kind of deep-seated grudge is
Li Qingshan was equally curious.
Immortal Northstar uttered two names, “Bei Rong and Emperor Xia..”
