The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 245 Sunflower Ancestor
"This old slave asks the prince to die!"

The moment the words fell, a powerful aura burst out, the energy spread out, the candles in the hall flickered and most of them went out, and the curtains rolled endlessly, like a strong wind passing through.

Guo Jing's eyes narrowed, "If you want to kill me, then come on!" This man is very skilled in martial arts, and it goes without saying what happened to the soldiers outside the hall. Now he can only rely on himself, and he has never been afraid of the enemy.

The old eunuch had a grim expression and sneered, "Such a talent is enough to be buried with the Song Dynasty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue and black shadow accompanied by a sharp cold light instantly shot to Guo Jing's chest.

Guo Jing had already been concentrating and on guard. The moment the old eunuch made his move, Guo Jing's originally majestic aura also became sharper and stronger. His whole body was surging with energy, and his crimson purple robe fluttered.

The old eunuch's speed was so unpredictable that it frightened him greatly, but not so fast that he couldn't resist.

At the moment when the old eunuch approached, he inhaled his true energy, raised his left palm high, and slapped the old eunuch in the face. This palm was full of power, and condensed into a dragon-like energy in the air with a huge momentum.

However, Guo Jing did not relax, but frowned, a long-lost sense of crisis looming in his heart, and this move failed.

The old eunuch disappeared from his sight. He subconsciously slapped his right palm to the side, and the old eunuch turned into a residual shadow. He wanted to hit Guo Jing's waist and abdomen directly, but Guo Jing slammed his palm with great force and instantly forced him back.

The old eunuch retreated several feet away, like a ghost. He stared at Guo Jing, his expression changed, with a hint of admiration and surprise in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be such a master."

Guo Jing gathered his energy and concentrated his mind. "A master like you is definitely not an ordinary person. Your martial arts have never appeared in the martial arts world. Who are you?"

"Ha, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You're going to die anyway. My martial arts come from the Nine Yin Manual. Huang Shang learned the Nine Yin Manual from the Wanshou Daozang back then, and a copy was left in the palace. During the Jingkang Incident, the manual was destroyed, leaving only the incomplete internal skills and general outline."

"I learned a set of martial arts from it, called the Sunflower Manual, and people in the palace also call me the Sunflower Ancestor." After saying this, he smiled coldly, revealing his sharp white teeth.

"Come, let me see how much of my strength you can force out!"

Guo Jing was surprised. He didn't expect that the old eunuch's martial arts came from the Nine Yin Scriptures. Even his teacher didn't get the upper volume, and only had the lower volume. Yet, this old eunuch actually had it.

In the blink of an eye, the old eunuch disappeared again, and a pair of hands suddenly appeared behind Guo Jing.

Sensing the fluctuation of breath, Guo Jing made a swift move and struck back with a backhand palm.

"Oh!"

The masculine and feminine qi collided with each other, and the qi burst out. Guo Jing retreated a few steps, but the old eunuch was knocked away on the spot and fell several feet away. He stopped and stared at Guo Jing, "Such a masculine and powerful palm power, I'm afraid there is only the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the world. What is your relationship with the old beggar who sneaked into the palace that year?"

"It's my master." The old eunuch was agile and Guo Jing did not chase him blindly. Instead, he was on high alert and defended with all his might.

“He ran fast back then, otherwise…” The old eunuch had a grim expression and turned into a residual shadow to attack. His pair of flesh palms seemed to be erratic and soft, but in fact they were filled with internal strength, which he kept within.

Guo Jing's boxing skills were sophisticated, and as he was in his prime, his energy and power had reached their peak. His powerful palm force flew out, and the surrounding floor tiles and wall pillars were covered with palm prints and cracks.

The old eunuch also knew that Guo Jing's palm power was powerful, so he did not confront him head-on.

However, at a certain moment, Guo Jing's expression changed suddenly. He saw that the old eunuch's movements became more and more swift and strange. He turned around and changed his moves. A steel needle appeared in his hand, with its sharp edge, leaving behind many phantoms, and the cold light pierced Guo Jing's back.

Fortunately, he had been wearing soft armor, and Su Ming had taught him the Dragon Elephant Prajna, so the needle only penetrated half an inch into his body, and was blown away by his energy. At this moment, the energy around him became more masculine and majestic, and the Quanzhen Sect's internal energy was running to the extreme. Even his eyes were like a substance, tightly locking onto the old eunuch's figure.

On the contrary, the old eunuch became more and more indifferent, as if he could disappear in the wind at any time.

Since he was granted the title of marquis, he seldom fought with others, and the killing instinct he developed in fighting on the battlefield also disappeared.

At this moment, at this critical moment of life and death, his five senses and six consciousnesses became increasingly sharp. Even though he could not capture the old eunuch's body shape and moves, he was always able to protect his body at the critical moment.

At the same time, Su Ming, who was flipping through a book in the palace, was stunned. The Minghai Guiyuan Energy was activated, and the energy of heaven and earth in the entire palace city continuously poured into his body. At the same time, his eyes became brighter, as if light was about to emit, brilliant and dazzling.

Just now, he sensed that the energy of heaven and earth was different. He practiced his skills and absorbed the energy. He caught Guo Jing's true energy and another sinister true energy from it. "Guo Jing is fighting with someone. Who is it?"

The next moment, the book fell from the air, but the person was no longer there.

The hall was in ruins, with palm prints and broken stones everywhere. Guo Jing's hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and his clothes were covered in bloodstains.

He continued to attack with his palms, protecting the vital parts of his body, while a ghostly shadow was moving around him, entangled him tightly, "Let's see how long you can hold on!" A hoarse and low voice echoed in the hall.

"Why aren't you coming?"

The more they fought, the more powerless Guo Jing felt. The old eunuch's movements were too fast. He had adapted to the movement, but could not keep up with the speed. He could only protect his vital parts to avoid being seriously injured.

Logically speaking, the noise here should have alarmed the guards in the palace.

However, what he didn't know was that not long after the old eunuch came in, a group of eunuchs set fires everywhere in the palace. They were swift and assassinated the leader of the guards in the first possible moment. These people were extremely familiar with the palace, and they used poisoning, traps, and all kinds of other methods. In addition, it was late at night, and the guards were unable to arrive in time.

After Guo Jing entered Nanchang, he launched a massive purge of the old forces of the previous dynasty. The scholar-officials, wealthy families, and official families suffered, but he was very tolerant of the low-level eunuchs and palace maids in the palace and did not implicate them.

However, this momentary weakness brought him great trouble.

Just as he was struggling to hold on, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Back off!"

Guo Jing trusted Su Ming's words very much and took a few steps back without thinking.

What followed was a sharp sword energy. The old eunuch's pupils shrank. The sword energy came too fast, so he could only stop his movement and move his body two inches to the side. A blood mist exploded, and a blood hole appeared on his chest.

He flashed and stared at the person who came. "Who are you?"

"Old eunuch, you are so brave!" As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly came close from outside the hall as if teleporting. "He can kill the emperor, why can't I kill him?" The old eunuch stared at Su Ming, his eyes full of vigilance. Since he had mastered his magical power, no one had ever put him under such pressure.

"You can kill him, but I don't agree with bullying the weak!" Su Ming put one hand behind his back, his green robe exuding a profound and majestic aura.

When Su Ming arrived, Guo Jing felt relieved at once, he was finally saved.

The old eunuch secretly gathered his true energy, his eyes became colder and fiercer, "No one can save the person I want to kill!"

"Then give it a try!"

The person in front of him was a rare opponent. In his perception, he was a level above Huang Yaoshi and the others. It just so happened that he had read through many martial arts manuals and had a feeling that he needed an opponent to practice sword skills with.

However, the most important thing now is to send Guo Jing away. Thinking of this, he shouted in a deep voice.

"The underworld returns to its origin, and heaven and earth are both destroyed!"

Su Ming used all his strength to activate the Nether Sea Return to Origin Energy, and the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth transformed into majestic true energy and poured into his body. The milky white true energy traveled through the eight extraordinary meridians and almost liquefied it. Practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power made his tendons and veins strong, and he could withstand the impact of the majestic true energy.

The vast true energy exploded with him as the center, the air vibrated like ripples, and the entire hall collapsed and shattered in an instant, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Run!

After seeing this scene, this was the only thought left in Guo Jing's mind.

However, before he could escape, he was instantly knocked away by a strong force, and the falling building debris around him did not fall on him at all. He retreated dozens of feet before the force dissipated. He stood still and looked at the scene in front of him with his eyes almost popping out.

All the buildings within a radius of fifty feet from where he had just stood were completely destroyed. The ground was covered with bricks and rubble and filled with dust and smoke.

Is this something a human can do?

However, he did not have time to sigh anymore. He just took a few glances and left. With his teacher's martial arts skills, the old eunuch was no match for him. And his intention of doing so was naturally to send himself away.

Soon, Guo Jing found the palace guards and killed several eunuchs. These eunuchs had the same martial arts as the old eunuch and had all practiced the Sunflower Manual.

"Mobilize the Eagle Guards, and send two thousand victorious soldiers into the city!"

When such a big thing happened, Guo Jing mobilized the army immediately to stabilize the order in the imperial city. As long as he showed up, it was enough to calm people's hearts.

Sure enough, after he appeared among the reinforcements, the soldiers calmed down immediately and were no longer in chaos.

……

In the distance of the palace, after the dust and smoke had cleared, the old eunuch walked out from the ruins with a smile in his eyes, "Ahem, you spent so much effort but didn't attack me, you are really an interesting person."

"Opponents like you are rare in the world. It will be a pity to kill you like this." After one move, most of the true energy in Su Ming's body was consumed, and the natural energy within a radius of ten miles was almost drained by him.

As he stood on the ground, wisps of earth energy rose from the soil, poured into his body and turned into true energy.

"Is your martial arts the Sunflower Manual?" Although it was just a quick glimpse just now, his strange body movements amazed him. Combined with the fact that this guy was a eunuch, he naturally thought of this martial art.

The old eunuch was stunned, then came to his senses, "Were you eavesdropping just now?"

Su Ming shook his head. "No, I've only heard of this martial art. It can create heaven and earth, and make all things grow. Although this martial art has its drawbacks, its concept is profound." Two hundred years later, the Sunflower Manual can still stir up trouble in the martial arts world, and by the way, it has also created a top master like Dongfang Bubai. This is truly rare.

Although the martial arts value of "Swordsman" is low, he has masters like Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai who are comparable to the level of the Five Supreme Masters. Naturally, he is curious about the Sunflower Manual.

"Haha, I didn't expect that someone would have heard of my name, Sunflower Ancestor." The old eunuch grinned, very pleased with himself. "It's a pity that I was already old when I created this martial art, otherwise if I practiced it to a high level, it might not be a stretch to say that I could return from Yang to Yin and reshape my body."

When ordinary people heard this, Su Ming would just think that he was bragging. But it was different for the Sunflower Patriarch. After Dongfang Bubai practiced the Sunflower Manual, even his state of mind changed. Coupled with the Exorcism Sword Technique derived from this skill, this martial art is already a top martial art that is not inferior to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

The only problem is that the price is too high. If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first. Which man wouldn’t feel a tightness in his crotch when seeing this?
Hearing this, Su Ming nodded seriously, "Don't worry, after you die, I will find someone to help you pass on this martial arts."

The old eunuch laughed loudly, his hoarse voice sounding somewhat carefree, "Okay, then come on!"

Then he made his move, with such uncanny speed that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch it, but Su Ming stood there with a subtle expression, because he found that he could actually "see" the old eunuch's figure, not with his naked eyes, but with his five senses and his spirit.

Until this moment, he felt that the soul-transferring technique and the experiment on Sha Gu were not in vain. With his powerful mental cultivation, the old eunuch's gloomy and majestic aura could not escape his perception.

Under the lock of various senses, no matter how fast the old eunuch's movements and moves were, he could "see" them clearly.

Similarly, he also sensed the flow of energy in the old eunuch's meridians. The strange speed of the Sunflower Manual was the result of the wonderful changes in his body after castration combined with the mysterious true energy.

Every time the old eunuch made a move, he could dodge it just right, but he did not give up, his body movements were still swift, and he maintained his speed for a long time. For a master like the old eunuch, it was just like other martial artists performing martial arts moves, and although the amount of true energy consumed was not small, it was definitely not much, just normal performance.

Similarly, the steel needles between his fingers contained an extremely strong and solid energy, which was no less powerful than his palm strength, but it was extremely restrained and never released!
Since he could see it, Su Ming did not activate the protective gas shield and attack from the opponent, hoping to gain insight into the mystery of the Sunflower Manual.

Martial arts are dead, but people are alive. Even if the secret manuals of magical skills are placed in front of them, few people can reach the level of Sunflower Patriarch and Dongfang Bubai.

The old eunuch's agility was so fast that even Su Ming could not match him. He attacked swiftly, avoiding the real and attacking the fake. When his attack missed, he escaped and then flashed to Su Ming's side in a flash. The steel needle between his fingers drew a strange arc, faintly covering his important acupoints such as Taiyang, Sizhukong, Tinghui, etc.

For a moment, there were many figures around, real and unreal, as if being besieged by several people.
