"However, I became even stronger six months later."
Inside the palace, Qi Tianchen groaned and took a step back. In the Imperial Observatory, the six Celestial Masters were not so lucky; they all coughed up blood and knelt on the ground.
Ji Ruofeng also took three steps back, her expression full of disbelief: "How is this possible!"
Master Wangyou on the city wall was also shocked to see this scene. This formation could trap even a ghost immortal for half a day.
But Ye Dingzhi broke the formation in an instant.
Such ability is simply astonishing!
Ye Dingzhi looked at Ji Ruofeng expressionlessly and said calmly, "Because you said it yourself, although I have entered the demonic path, I am not afraid of the so-called righteous path at all. Moreover, the most desperate thing in my life is something I recall every day, not the moment I stepped into this formation!"
At this time.
Li Xinyue raised her Heart Sword and closed her eyes.
Enter, Kenshin.
Chapter 64 The hatred of annihilation will make you all taste it!
The talismans drawn on the Wuji Staff suddenly emitted a demonic red light.
Ji Ruofeng picked up the long staff: "My staff is called Wuji. Wuji means infinite and endless..."
then.
Ji Ruofeng leaped forward and struck Ye Dingzhi with his stick.
Ye Dingzhi slightly withdrew and then pushed out a palm.
This palm strike was both real and feinted, unpredictable and ever-changing; the true energy condensed from the palm strike alone transformed into four different forms.
"Is this the long-lost, formless and formless skill?" Ji Ruofeng's strike missed, and then he felt an overwhelming surge of true energy, which finally converged into an extremely sharp wisp of blood-red true energy, heading straight for Ji Ruofeng's chest.
"Bagua!" Ji Ruofeng pushed with his left hand, and a Bagua formed from true energy appeared.
Shattered instantly.
"Gossip!"
"Gossip!"
"Gossip!"
"Gossip!"
"Gossip!"
Ji Ruofeng used the Eight Trigrams Heart Gate technique six times, and the first five gates were all shattered instantly. It wasn't until he used the sixth Eight Trigrams Heart Gate technique that the blood-red true energy was completely neutralized.
Li Xinyue kept her eyes tightly closed, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around her.
Ye Dingzhi suddenly clasped his hands together and roared, "Offer sacrifice!"
Suddenly, the city wall beside Li Xinyue collapsed. Ji Ruofeng quickly leaped over, pulled Li Xinyue back, and then wildly swung his Wuji Staff, deflecting all three palm strikes from Ye Dingzhi.
Ji Ruofeng put Li Xinyue down, pushed the Wuji Staff forward, and his eyes suddenly changed color.
"Don't! Move! King!" Ji Ruofeng said these four words through gritted teeth, followed by a fierce glare!
"I thought only our sect in the world knew this martial art," Ye Dingzhi said quietly. "Indeed, the Hundred Knowledge Hall truly knows everything in the world."
The Immovable King Technique, a top-tier demonic art, allows the user to unleash all the power within their body in an instant, enabling them to kill in adversity. It is the most ruthless and domineering martial art in the world, yet it is also the most harmful to both the user and others.
When this skill is activated, one will appear with the wrathful expression of a Vajra, which will terrify all evil spirits!
"Retreat!" Ji Ruofeng suddenly swung the Wuji Staff, its power several times greater than before. Ye Dingzhi did not dodge at all. The next moment, Ji Ruofeng moved to his side again and hit Ye Dingzhi's shoulder with the staff.
With a "dong," it sounded like striking a bronze bell.
"Indestructible Vajra Divine Power?" Ji Ruofeng was taken aback, and then struck out with his staff again.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and faint thunder rumbled among them.
Ye Dingzhi endured thirteen blows from Ji Ruofeng, yet he did not retreat an inch.
After the thirteenth blow, his long sleeves fluttered, and a hidden sword materialized, which he used to block the blow.
"Cloud Sleeve Sword?" Ji Ruofeng sheathed his staff, retreated, and let out a heavy breath. This Immovable King Technique was putting a lot of strain on his body; if he couldn't finish the fight quickly, he might suffer a backlash and die at any moment.
"I lived in Langyue Blessed Land for a long time. There are many magical martial arts recorded there. Some have methods to learn them, so I practiced them. Others are just records, but I memorized them too." Ye Dingzhi suddenly raised his head, looked at the dark cloud, and slowly said, "For example, the lightning-summoning technique from Huanglong Mountain!"
"Thunder, fall!" Ji Ruofeng raised the Wuji Staff and shouted.
A thunderclap suddenly appeared and crashed down, landing on Ji Ruofeng's Wuji Staff. Within the staff, the blood-red talismans shone brightly. He suddenly raised the staff, and the thunderbolt was flung towards Ye Dingzhi.
No matter how strong or powerful one's martial arts skills are, one is still a mortal. How can a mortal body block lightning from falling from the sky? Unless, of course, that person has entered the legendary realm of divine travel and is close to becoming an immortal.
With a deafening roar, the lightning struck Ye Dingzhi squarely, shattering that section of the city wall into pieces.
The fiery red in Ji Ruofeng's eyes gradually faded, the Wuji Staff in his hand fell to the ground, and he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted: "Master, Master, if you still can't beat this, then don't blame me."
As the dust settled, Ye Dingzhi remained standing there, motionless. He was just like Ji Ruofeng from before, his whole body fiery red, his eyes blazing with fury.
He also used the Fudo Myo-o technique.
Ji Ruofeng smiled bitterly: "The Immovable King Technique, combined with the Illusory Thought Technique, shows that you really want to kill the emperor and are truly not afraid of death. If these two top-level demonic techniques are used at the same time, and the demonic techniques backfire, you will lose your mind and your bloodline will be cut off in an instant."
Ye Dingzhi walked towards Ji Ruofeng step by step.
Li Xinyue finally opened her eyes at this moment.
After a long while, he entered a meditative state and gained a moment of sword intent.
Draw your sword! Kill!
A flash of silver light, and Ye Dingzhi suddenly looked up. The sword energy in that instant was even more threatening than when Ji Ruofeng forcefully activated the Immovable King.
Ye Dingzhi stretched out his hand, and the Wuji Staff that had fallen to the ground suddenly flew into his hand. He raised it sharply and swung it.
The Wuji Staff Technique is exactly the same as Ji Ruofeng's.
One strike, boundless, without beginning or end, without ceasing.
With a loud bang.
Swords and clubs clashed.
Li Xinyue finally opened her eyes and looked at Ye Dingzhi, who in turn looked at Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue saw no killing intent in Ye Dingzhi's eyes. Although Ye Dingzhi was now the leader of the Demonic Sect, leading a large army to conquer Beili, and was considered a great demon by the people of Beili, at this moment, Ye Dingzhi's eyes were still clean and pure in Li Xinyue's eyes.
But it also harbors an obsession as deep as a thousand-foot abyss.
"No one can stop me," Ye Dingzhi said calmly.
“Everyone has their own mission.” Li Xinyue’s sword energy surged again, but in that instant, her sword spirit was finally exhausted.
Ye Dingzhi flung Li Xinyue and her sword away with a sudden flick of his wrist, then casually picked up the Wuji Staff and swept past Ji Ruofeng.
Ji Ruofeng struggled to support himself on the ground, but he had no strength left. Li Xinyue used her sword to cut a mark more than twenty feet long on the city wall before stopping. She also tried to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Is this the Ghost Immortal Realm?"
.....
Within the palace.
On the Qingyun Terrace.
Qi Tianchen flicked his whisk: "They couldn't stop him."
"It's alright, it was just a test anyway. Ye Dingzhi has indeed entered the Ghost Immortal realm." Zhuo Qing said calmly, "That lightning strike just now, was it your Taoist ultimate technique of summoning lightning?"
Qi Tianchen nodded: "The supreme Daoist techniques of Huanglong Mountain have long been lost, and even I don't know them. Ji Ruofeng is holding my Daoist treasure, the Wuji Staff, and is using my Daoist secret technique, the Lightning Summoning Technique. If it weren't for this life-or-death situation today, I would really like to ask him who his master is."
"Your Majesty, all the experts in Tianqi City are already below Qingyun Terrace," Zhuo Qing said in a deep voice.
Emperor Tai'an looked down at the palace. Many familiar faces were gone. Only one of the five Grand Eunuchs remained, and many of the royal family's experts had also disappeared. Instead, there were many martial arts figures, almost all of whom possessed the strength of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. There were more than twenty Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm experts, along with two Imperial Preceptors and Grand Eunuchs who were half-step Divine Travel Realm experts. In the martial arts world, this was already the strongest sect. In addition, there were thousands of Imperial Guards and Tiger Warriors below.
Even not far ahead, there were Xie Zhize, the sword guardian, and Master Wangyou, the abbot of Hanshan Temple, two peerless experts who had traveled to the Mystic Realm.
Such an incomparably powerful force could even sweep across the entire world.
But at this moment, facing that blood-red figure, Emperor Tai'an felt no sense of security whatsoever.
A gust of wind swept by.
The thousands of Imperial Guards and Tiger Warriors were all thrown into chaos. In the Northern Li Army, they were all the most elite soldiers, but when faced with a master like Ye Dingzhi, they didn't even have time to draw their long swords.
The twenty experts from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm reacted in a moment and all made a move.
But he only made one move.
Swords, spears, halberds, fists, feet, palms, and fingers—countless deadly moves attacked Ye Dingzhi.
Ye Dingzhi simply shouted, "Rise!"
Wind blows.
Clouds are coming!
Ye Dingzhi raised his hands, and everyone was lifted half a step off the ground. Then he pressed his hands down, and everyone knelt down.
No matter how many experts are there.
I pointed.
Kneel down!
"What kind of martial art is this!" Zhuo Qing exclaimed in surprise.
“At this level, it’s no longer about martial arts.” Qi Tianchen suddenly waved his whisk, and the white dust on it seemed to transform into thousands of wings in that instant, suddenly unfolding into a huge shield that blocked the three of them.
At this moment, Ye Dingzhi had already taken advantage of the vast true energy to leap onto the highest Qingyun Platform in the palace, and threw a punch that struck the shield that the whisk had transformed into.
He punched the shield so hard it dented.
Zhuo Qing pulled Emperor Tai'an backward abruptly.
Qi Tianchen stood still, without moving an inch.
Ye Dingzhi withdrew his fist, his blood-red pupils slowly dimming, and he said in a deep voice, "Imperial Advisor."
Qi Tianchen pulled back sharply, and Bai Yufu returned to her original form. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Sect Leader Ye."
Ye Dingzhi looked at Qi Tianchen and said slowly, "When I was young, my father told me that among the people in the court, you are the one he respects the most. Although the Grand Preceptor is in the court, he is still a Celestial Master. That's why I didn't kill you last time."
Qi Tianchen sighed softly, "General Ye is too kind. I am truly ashamed that I was unable to save you back then."
“Father believed his brothers wouldn’t kill him, only realizing his true identity at the last moment, but it was too late.” Ye Dingzhi glanced at Emperor Tai’an in the distance: “But I will not make that mistake again.”
“But I think Master Ye is making an even bigger mistake.” Qi Tianchen looked at Ye Dingzhi.
Ye Dingzhi smiled and said, "Perhaps, but what does it matter? The Imperial Preceptor has his duties to fulfill and will surely try to stop me. So please make your move. This time, I will not hold back."
"Even thousands of soldiers and twenty experts at the Heavenly Realm couldn't stop you. I, Qi, am not capable of doing so," Qi Tianchen shook his head.
Ye Dingzhi replied, "Then what does the Imperial Preceptor intend to do?"
"We Taoists emphasize the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each with its own escape method. I, Qi, am not talented. Under the tutelage of Daoist Qingfeng, I am not proficient in any of the Five Elements escape methods, but I am skilled only in the art of verbal persuasion. I am eloquent and love to boast, which is why I was sent to Tianqi City as the National Preceptor. That's why I can't win in a fight. I would like to say a few words to Sect Leader Ye," Qi Tianchen said slowly.
Ye Dingzhi looked at Qi Tianchen indifferently.
"Could you please listen to me for a moment? I want to give you some advice," Qi Tianchen said directly.
"No," Ye Dingzhi replied directly.
Qi Tianchen still said, "General Ye loved the people so much during his lifetime. He had the ability to launch a coup back then, but in the end he did not want to see Tianqi City fall into the flames of war, so he did not resist."
“But I am different from my father,” Ye Dingzhi replied.
“But your father certainly wouldn’t want you to seek revenge in this way,” Qi Tianchen sighed softly.
Ye Dingzhi said in a deep voice, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; blood debts can only be repaid in blood. This has been the way of the world since ancient times."
"Sir, please stop." An old voice suddenly rang out.
Master Wangyou arrived in the sky and landed slowly beside Emperor Tai'an, saying, "When will this cycle of revenge end? Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
Ye Dingzhi scoffed: "When Emperor Tai'an wiped out my entire Ye family, why didn't you all try to persuade him like this?"
"Is this how my Ye family is supposed to be?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present fell silent.
