The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 58 Unfortunately, it’s still a long way to go! (It’s Tuesday again, please read on!)

Song Que stuck the long knife in his hand into the ground before he stopped retreating.

After a while, he stood up silently, his eyes shining brightly, staring at the Narcissus Knife placed on his chest, like an old monk in meditation.

In the blink of an eye, a roaring sound of tearing the air was heard in the square, and Song Que turned into a long rainbow like lightning and came with a knife.

Xi Mingzhang remained calm and composed. He turned his two fingers into a palm and pressed down, immediately raising a towering air wall over ten feet high around him.

"boom!"

Song Que slashed the air wall with his sword, like a leaf falling on a calm lake, creating fleeting ripples.

Seeing this, his eyes became focused, and every part of the Narcissus Sword became a tool to defeat the enemy. He used the handle, blade, and handles, and even any other ways that no one had ever thought of, to continuously chop at various parts of the air wall.

The attacks were as dense as a rainstorm, penetrating every gap and as powerful as mercury pouring out of the ground, but still could not find the weak point in the air wall. Just when Song Que's strength was greatly reduced.

Xi Mingzhang turned his palm over, palm facing up, and gently pushed it forward.

The towering wall of air suddenly turned into dense needles, and poured towards Song Que with a mighty force.

"boom!"

The huge square seemed to have been bombed by a catapult, and everything looked tattered. However, Song Que instinctively used a knife to break the river waves transformed by the needle spikes.

Immediately, his breathing sounded like sand in an hourglass, subtle and rapid, revealing an exhaustion that could not be concealed.

Not far away, Xi Mingzhang listened to Song Que's rapid and heavy breathing and said indifferently:
"Master Song, I will give you one more chance to strike with the sword. If you still can't do it, there is no need to continue."

When Song Que heard this, the red glow on his handsome face flashed and then disappeared. He immediately returned the sword into the scabbard, and his face and hands dropped. All of a sudden, he gave people a feeling that heaven and earth were one.

The earth is where the laws are, and the heaven and earth are where the laws are not. The laws contain the laws, and the laws are contained in the laws, which is a mysterious energy.

Naturally, a huge and unparalleled momentum that mixed heaven and earth arose and pressed towards Xi Mingzhang with the force of a flood.

"Keng!"

Song Que struck out with his sword once again. This time, the sword combined speed with slowness, great skill yet appearing clumsy. Although no change could be seen, all kinds of changes were contained in it, just like the infinity of heaven and earth and the endless universe.

When Xi Mingzhang saw this, a look of delight appeared on his face, but he just stood there and watched the knife cut his neck.

Song Que frowned slightly and discovered something strange. He saw Xi Mingzhang's figure disintegrate like clouds and smoke and reappear behind Song Que.

Song Que, who was already connected with the heaven and earth, seemed to have reached the ultimate level of swordsmanship where he had rules but no rules, and had rules but no rules. Between each strike of the sword, he could recover his breath and keep his strength from being exhausted. He chopped towards Xi Mingzhang again swiftly and fiercely.

However, Xi Mingzhang was like a phantom, causing Song Que's sword to miss.

In an instant, hundreds of figures that seemed real and illusory appeared in the square, all looking at Song Que with a half-smile.

Song Que's face was free of thoughts, he was immersed in the deepest state of concentration, his whole body exuding an aura of oblivion of both himself and the world.

He immediately chopped down at all the figures with lightning speed. As the numerous figures appeared and disappeared, Song Que's aura also changed accordingly. He had a state of mind that was neither praised nor criticized, and was not stuck on things. Every strike of his sword was like a dragon flying into the sky, and like a snake lurking deep into the ground. It could be said that the changes were endless.

"Although the sky is infinite, humans are limited. Master Song, I have learned all your sword skills." Xi Mingzhang's voice rang out from all directions:

"After getting the sword, forget about it. After thinking hard, forget about the thoughts. This sword technique is really wonderful!" He paused and said quietly:
"Unfortunately, we are still far from it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a needle-like streak like an arrow appeared on the eaves of the main hall outside the square. In a breath, it pierced into Song Que's heart.

"puff!"

Song Que spat out a large mouthful of blood. The needle blade was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it immediately made him kneel on the ground. If it weren't for the support of the long sword in his hand, he would have collapsed to the ground.

He gasped heavily and looked up at the eaves of the main hall. His expression froze, and then he looked around, his expression becoming more complicated.

However, he saw Xi Mingzhang sitting on the eaves leisurely just as he had seen him at the beginning, and the square, which should have been in tatters, was now covered with criss-crossing knife marks and the bright and glaring blood that he had spit out.

"In this life, I entered the Dao through sound, and not only did I practice a set of strange and bizarre magic, but I also cultivated an unparalleled spiritual power. Later, I obtained the "Dao Heart Planting Demons Great Method", which greatly enhanced my spiritual power and enabled me to fully exert it."

"As the spirit grows stronger, the qi and essence gradually rise to the peak. The combination of the three makes the spiritual power even more terrifying."

"Master Song, in the past ten years, you know that every blade of grass and every tree on the huge Emperor's Peak, even a grain of sand, has been infected by this poor monk."

"The moment you stepped into the Emperor's Peak, your five senses and mind were already controlled by this poor monk."

"What you see is what I want you to see, so how can you defeat me?"

Song Que spoke with difficulty:
"Wuchang, your martial arts skills are probably above the realm of heaven and man. Why don't you take the last step that all martial artists in the world yearn for?"

"Emperor Peak is a small world that I created for myself. How can the Song clan leader know that the world we live in today was not created by someone else?" Xi Mingzhang said calmly:

"You have slashed me with hundreds of swords without regard for the consequences. You have severed my heart meridians. I will die of exhaustion."

"But the true energy that I left in your body can allow you to live another year or two. This can be regarded as my recognition of the Song clan leader's extreme swordsmanship."

After saying this, the figure on the roof faded away.

Three months later.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

A man in his thirties, full of courage and determination, and naturally domineering, looked at Song Que, who was still handsome and flawless, but no longer as majestic as before, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Master, is that demon Buddha really so terrifying that even you can't fight him for a few moves?"

"I'm afraid he has transcended human concepts and reached an unfathomable realm, like a bottomless abyss or an infinite sky, making it difficult for people to defeat him." Song Que warned solemnly:
"The reason I came to you is to remind you that you must not go to Emperor Peak now. You are no longer a small thug in Yangzhou, but the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You shoulder the safety of the people of the world. You can't just act rashly."

"Xiao Ling and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, and we are as close as brothers. The reason why I am here today is to find the murderer who killed him." The indignation in Kou Zhong's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he said:

"Master, I will avenge Xiao Ling. Likewise, I will not ignore the world. When the time is right, I don't believe that the power of the Demon Buddha alone can stop the army of my Great Zhou."

He said fiercely:
"At worst, we can just flatten the Emperor's Peak."

"Whether you want to seek revenge or not, you must remember not to let the world fall into chaos again. Now that the Han people have become the emperor who unifies the world, it is really hard-won. Thousands of ordinary people have long been looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous era."

After Song Que gave these words of warning, he walked out of the room, leaving Kou Zhong alone in the room in silence.
