It was for this reason,
that Chen Sansi dared to fight his way up here alone.
The overall strength of his opponent was just a notch above his own, making it the perfect trial.
Lately, he had been relying too much on spells.
But today’s great battle proved
that Martial Arts were not inferior.
Especially the Martial Saints.

Each of them could clash head-on with a practitioner of spells and not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, before officially stepping onto the "Immortal Path," it was better not to abandon the fundamentals for the sake of the superficial.
Fortunately,
he hadn’t lost his edge.
After three or five rounds, he gradually mastered the peculiarities of the opponent’s Swordsmanship, but with the dual boost of his qi realm’s suppression and the Incense Fire Divine Power, it was incredibly arduous.
In the eyes of onlookers, it was an act of desperation, fighting to the death to protect the monarch.
"Hmm?"
Emperor Longqing watched this scene, his pupils flickering, feeling somewhat moved, he thought, "Sun Xiangzong back in the day was just like this. He’s grown old, but it seems he’s taken a good disciple."
"Your Majesty, get out of here!"
Chen Sansi held out until the thirtieth round.
Under the effect of the "Qilin’s Heart," he had not only familiarized himself with the opponent’s tactics but also effortlessly found a flaw.
Turning to look at Miao Sect Master, his body’s purple Mystical Energy was drained to exhaustion, and he began to rely purely on Martial Arts to combat his enemy. It wasn’t long before even his Gang Qi could barely maintain its peak state. Shifting from offense to defense, he felt as if blades were coming at him from every direction—all lethal threats.
Meridian Passage!
This man was merely in the Meridian Passage stage!
Yet he, a member of the Mysterious Phenomenon, was struggling to parry the blows.
"A flaw!"
In the midst of the grueling battle, with pressure mounting in Miao Sect Master’s heart, he finally found a loophole in Chen Sansi’s spear technique and thrust his sword without hesitation. The Gang Qi tore through the shoulder armour and penetrated the Vajra Body’s Copper Skin Iron Bone, leaving a gaping wound.
In contrast, he merely suffered a minor scratch on his arm, a trivial cut that he would not have paid much attention to, but the next moment...
A terrifying force surged through the tiny wound into his body and began to rampage wildly, shredding muscle before attacking bone, and continued to penetrate deeper towards vital death points.
The True Dragon rampaged!
True Dragon Strength!
"Damn it!"
The Miao Sect Master hurriedly used his other hand to seal the vital points to quench the True Dragon Strength inside of him, but at the same time, the long spear directly pierced through his heart. As it slowly began to twist, his heart was minced by the blade’s edge, allowing more True Dragon Strength to flood in.
He could no longer hold onto his Weapon, letting the Soft Sword slip from his grasp. Even using the last of his strength to grab the spear shaft, he couldn’t stop it at all, and soon he used up his last bit of energy and died, his head hanging low.
"Zila——"
Behind him,
several members of the Incense God Sect crazily chopped their blades into Chen Sansi’s back as if possessed, tearing open the Vajra Body and leaving deep gashes.
"What a formidable, loyal minister!"
The gravely injured Chief Eunuch Huang Hong watched this with a shock to the heart.
"Your Majesty!"
With a fierce shout, Chen Sansi drew the Zhenyue Sword from his waist, reaping the lives of the assassins and then chased after those who sought to assassinate the Emperor, fighting valiantly in a bloodbath.
"Kill him for me!"
On the flanks,
several Imperial Guard Generals who had joined the Crown Prince Faction came to attack.
"Father, Mr. Chen!"
At this moment, Stay updated through Freewebnovel
the Twelfth Prince Cao Zhi arrived with a group of Jinyi Guards, who blocked off the Imperial Guard; "Mr. Chen, take my father and flee!"
"Your Majesty, quickly, escape!"
The bloodied Chen Sansi approached Emperor Longqing, helping him to his feet: "The Black Armor Army will break through any moment, the situation is under control, the rebellion will soon be quelled, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"
"Take the sword."
Emperor Longqing did not refuse.
"Yes!"
"Clang!"
Chen Sansi picked up the Dragon Abyss Sword, and with a swing of the sword, he cleaved an Imperial Guard, along with his armour, in half, easily cutting through metal, far better than the Zhenyue Sword.
And even though the sword was in his hand, he had not truly mastered it.
Its owner was still the Emperor.
But the connective Mystical Energy between the Emperor and the Dragon Abyss Sword was somewhat restless.
It seemed that the Emperor had not yet fully mastered the sword either.
But there was still a vast amount of Spiritual Power in his body.
In today’s battle, it was clear he had not yet gone all out.
In fact,
when the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared, Chen Sansi knew the outcome was decided, and the scene of mutual destruction he wanted to see wasn’t going to happen, so he hurriedly called his men to guard their ruler.
The Emperor had always been able to establish a connection with the Dragon Abyss Sword!
It was evident in the underground cavern!
But why didn’t he retrieve the treasure from the cavern?
He speculated that either he couldn’t sense its exact location until it was completely refined and he became the owner of the Dragon Abyss Sword, or it was... deliberate!
With the appearance of the Dragon Abyss,
such a massive disturbance was bound to be known throughout the land.
In that case, these "traitors" would not jump out.
Those involved in the coup tonight, from all over the court, both inside and out, the Emperor, despite his immense abilities, could not possibly weed them out one by one, unless...
They revealed themselves!
Before coming to Ziwei Mountain, the Emperor sensed that the Crown Prince Faction could no longer restrain their desire to revolt!
All of this, if not predicted beforehand, was at least thoroughly prepared for!
After tonight,
the power that the Crown Prince Faction had painstakingly built up over forty years as Supervisor would be wiped out, and the court would face a new era where no one could influence the Emperor’s decisions for some time.
He won.
Chen Sansi protected the Emperor, making their way from the sleeping palace toward the Yangxin Palace.
This coup was nearing its end.
...
"..."
Meng Quji arrived at the palace and began to attack indiscriminately. It didn’t matter whether they were the Crown Prince’s men or the Emperor’s; anyone in the way was impaled and killed on the spot, charging straight for the sleeping chamber.
