Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 563 The First Thing

After hearing Shaoyang Jun's explanation, Liuhuo Canglong fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "The people in the hard-pressed areas have finally enjoyed a stable and peaceful life. How can they survive the catastrophe? After experiencing the government affairs during this period of time, I understand how heavy the burden is on Su Huanzhen and others. I also understand how precious this hard-won peace is."

"Father, why should you be so modest? Su Huanzhen and Yi Ye Shu have made great contributions to the world. But they have never thought of changing the status quo. All places live under the autonomy of those sects. If it weren't for the establishment of the Celestial Empire, the issuance of a decree to stop fighting, the unification of tax laws and laws, the equalization of land, the construction of roads, and the establishment of government to deal with lawlessness, how could we live and work in peace and contentment today?"

"To me, the Celestial Empire is a responsibility, not a power. If you take over, will you be willing to assume this responsibility?" Liu Huo Canglong looked at Shaoyang Jun, waiting for the answer from his own prince.

Shaoyang Jun showed unprecedented perseverance, "I have realized it long ago."

"Okay, in that case, I will announce in the Imperial Palace tomorrow that I will be practicing in seclusion, and all government affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom will be left to you. But before that, Qian'er, you must promise me one thing?" As he spoke, Liu Huo Canglong showed unprecedented seriousness.

Shao Yang Jun asked curiously, "Father, what makes you so solemn?"

"Your lifelong affairs must be resolved before I go into seclusion."

"Um?!"
-
Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
On top of the Thirteenth Peak of Aofeng, snow was drifting in the wind, and the Sword in the Flute (The Remnant Sound in the Empty Valley) stood there with a cold expression.

The past events come to my mind vividly, and I can’t tell whether they are real or illusion.

His consciousness returned to Leng Yan's tomb, and the sword in the flute pointed at Leng Shuangcheng.

"I've been kind to you in every way. If you come any closer, I'll break my promise in front of her grave."

Leng Shuangcheng thought he was very strong and didn't take the threat of Xiao Zhongjian seriously at all. "Hahaha, you are just a loser who relies on women at best."

Leng Yan's words echoed in Xiao Zhongjian's ears again, "I hope you can understand the true meaning of killing with a sword and saving lives with a sword. Therefore, not killing the Leng family is a test I give you."

“There’s always a fine line between truth and falsehood.” Xiao Zhongjian is wavering between being sober and being crazy.

Suddenly, a hint of red appeared in the vast white scene where it shouldn't be.

The freezing cold air and biting wind were insignificant in front of the newcomer.

The man in white came in the wind and snow, holding a red umbrella in his left hand and his right hand behind his back.

The extremely cold air and rugged mountains seemed like flat land to the visitors.

Seeing the confused Xiao Zhongjian, his cold expression changed, revealing a trace of compassion, "Swordsman of Heaven, your sword heart has been covered in dust."

"Lengshuang City." The sword ghost in the flute appeared again, and the extremely cold sword energy pointed directly at the enemy in memory.

The sword energy came to one foot in front of the man in white, and disappeared into nothingness like the scorching sun melting snow.

"The lost sword heart has made your sword moves lose their usual power." The man in white used his finger as a sword and waved it lightly. The extreme cold of Aofeng Mountain was fully utilized by him and transformed into countless sword qi.

Although he was possessed by a demon, his intuition as a warrior made Xiao Zhongjian show unprecedented caution.

"Heaven's Forgiveness"

The sword energy created an ice vortex, and wherever it passed, there was death, without any reservation.

The sword energy clashed, shaking the nine heavens and ten earths.

The sword in the flute fell into a slump, and the sword style of heaven advanced again, "the will of heaven is unpredictable."

The freezing air adds another point to the sword style, increasing its power by three points.

The man in white pointed his sword and Ao Feng's frost energy was mobilized again. The sword energy seemed infinite and could fully break the sword style of the sky.

Xiao Zhongjian's body changed instantly and a fight at high speed began.

The man in white holds a red umbrella in his left hand, standing like a pavilion, and points his sword with his right hand to face the enemy.

The sword points to the firefly and fights it. In a few breaths, the two sides have fought for more than a hundred rounds.

The divine weapon of heaven was restrained by the sword of the man in white and it was difficult to gain the upper hand.

During the sword fight, the five-pointed magic seal on Xiao Zhongjian's forehead appeared and disappeared from time to time.

At this time, Leng Zui led Yue Xuanwo to arrive. However, Wang Cannian, the eldest brother of the sworn brotherhood in the deserted city, could not enter Aofeng because his physical condition could not adapt to the environment of Aofeng.

Yue Xuanwo observed with his ghost eyes and found that the man in white had no flaws on his body. "Who is this man? He can compete with my second brother with just two fingers."

Leng Zui recognized the man in white and exclaimed in surprise: "It's him!"

Yue Xuanwo saw Leng Zui recognize the man in white and asked, "Leng Zui, do you know this person?"

"I do know him. I just didn't expect him to come here and have a fierce fight with Xiao Zhongjian." Leng Zui calmed down and introduced the origin of the man in white to Yue Xuanwo.

"I have also seen him in the list of swordsmen written by Soul Emperor. His name is "Liu Bai", the master of the Sword Pavilion of Southern Wulin, and known as the "Sword Saint". Soul Emperor commented on him as "the strongest man in the world". I originally thought that Soul Emperor was exaggerating, but after seeing him today, I finally understood why Soul Emperor ranked him first in the list."

Leng Zui's words aroused Yue Xuanwo's curiosity, "Where does the sword in the flute rank?"

"Third place, tied with Minyue Li Jianshi and Japanese swordsman Yagyu Kenkage."

"In parallel?"

"The Soul Emperor commented in the list that Xiao Zhongjian, like the other two, had not yet fully realized his own sword path, so he listed them together. If he can realize it one day, he can enter the second place."

"Don't you doubt the authenticity of the directory?"

"I did have my doubts at first, but after meeting Liu Bai today, I realized that what the Soul Emperor arranged was not wrong." In the center of Lengzui Sword Fight, Liu Bai suppressed the sword in the flute with every move and no longer had any doubts about the "List of Swordsmen" by the Soul Emperor.

"Leng Shuangcheng, pay the price for what you have done." Seeing that he could not win, under the interference of the magic poison, all the pain suppressed in his heart was released. Xiao Zhongjian used the final move of the Sword of Heaven, "Selfless, selfless, and undemanding, I will sacrifice myself to preserve the Tao, the Sword of Heaven is the proof."

Sword energy rose into the sky and merged into a sky-slashing sword.

"Alas~" When Liu Bai saw the final form of the Heavenly Sword, he sighed and moved his sword finger.

Liu Bai used all the extremely cold air from the Thirteen Peaks of Aofeng and transformed it into countless sword energy pupae that flocked to the Thirteen Peaks of Aofeng.

The infinite sword energy combined to form a surging, vast and boundless sword river.

The unchanging Thirteen Peaks of the Proud Peak were immersed in the sword river. The sword waves were endless, and the mighty sword style overwhelmed the sky.

Liu Bai folded his umbrella and put it behind his back, and the sword moved with him, accompanied by surging sword waves, a pair of heavenly sword-style final moves.

The sword waves eroded the Heavenly Sword Style, causing the Heavenly Sword to break into pieces.

Leng Zui and Yue Xuanwo originally wanted to help Xiao Zhongjian, but they didn't expect Jianhe to have self-awareness.

A tributary formed and trapped the two men in it, making them unable to move.

The sword strikes, and the world is shaken.

In the smoke and dust, a sword flashed, and the sword Guiying in the flute flew out of his hand. Before he could react, Liu Bai was already in front of him.

He pointed the sword to his forehead and poured the strongest sword energy into it, cutting off the evil spirit in Xiao Zhongjian's brain and freeing him from the evil barrier temporarily.

"You are..." The evil spirit temporarily dissipated, and the sword in the flute temporarily regained its clarity. He could see the person in front of him clearly, but before he could finish his words, he felt dizzy, his eyes went black, and he fell on his back.

The winner was decided, Liu Bai dissipated the sword energy from his fingertips, and Leng Zui and Yue Xuanwo, who were watching the fight, suddenly felt the sword pressure around them lighten.

"I have temporarily sealed his devil blood." Liu Bai held up the red umbrella and left Aofeng just like when he came.

Yue Xuanwo asked in the direction Liu Bai left: "Why do you want to help him?"

Liu Bai's voice came from a distance, "Tell Xiao Zhongjian that I hope to see his complete sword."
