From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 60 The Long Night is Over, Human Immortals Have No Leaks (7600)

When he said the first word, Xu Xing was still hundreds of steps away, and when he said the last word, he had already stepped into the gate of Yuxi Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xing felt the darkness surging like a tide, rushing towards him endlessly.

Even without using his eyes to see, he could feel an aura as huge and heavy as a black hole, permeating the entire palace and engulfing everything around it.

Xu Xing raised his eyebrows, a look of approval appearing on his face.

"You use your body as a furnace, housing thousands of souls. Do you want to use these people as firewood to survive the burning of your body?"

Every word Xu Xing uttered brought a little light to this gloomy and cold dark palace.

With his foothold as the center of the circle, a blazing light like a flame lights up, like a bright lamp, dispelling the darkness and supporting a bright world full of vigor and vitality.

At the end of the palace, many figures seemed to appear suddenly.

They did not appear suddenly, but were already there. They were just swallowed up by the black hole-like aura. They lost their momentum and souls. They were like zombies, with dull faces and almost no sense of existence.

These people were all great boxers who had just been suppressed by Yan Shifan’s fist and even had their souls completely devoured.

However, when illuminated by the vitality emanating from Xu Xing, their originally dull faces actually showed signs of struggle, as if they were trying to break free from the darkness.

The one who reacted most violently was Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a calm expression. He frowned, and several veins suddenly bulged out on his face, which looked intimidating without even being angry.

"What a wake-up call, a method that goes straight to the heart..."

Yan Shifan's voice suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire palace. It seemed as if countless demon shadows in the void echoed it, forming a symphony of overlapping and majestic resonance.

"But their three souls and seven spirits are already in my hands. Even if you can awaken their vitality, what's the use? Xu Dasheng, you are too late..."

Although they had never met before, their boxing skills had reached such a level that it would be difficult to find a third person in the world.

Therefore, Yan Shifan only took a quick look at Xu Xing's aura to understand the identity of the visitor, and also realized that the boxing skills of this Great Sage Hun Tian were much higher than his reputation!
The admiration on Xu Xing's face quickly disappeared.

He shook his head, somewhat regretfully:

"You plan to challenge me with a barely intact physique and a patchwork spiritual state?"

After hearing Xu Xing's blunt mockery, Yan Shifan was not angry but burst into laughter.

"Great Sage Xu, your boxing skills are indeed high and your spirit is indeed strong, but you are too arrogant and proud.

People like you will never find your belonging in this world. Unable to align your own spirit with the destiny of the country, you will never be able to reach the highest realm.

Zhu Tiandu wants to cut off the fate of the country and rebuild the world, and he pursues this as his lifelong martial arts pursuit. He is already a madman, but you are even better than him. You actually want to be self-sufficient without any help from others? ! "

Yan Shifan's voice suddenly became extremely high-pitched, and the faint echo in the void also became louder.

"Now the emperor is under my control, the officials in the court are controlled by me, and my disciples and former officials of the Yan Party are spread all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces. The situation of the world is in my hands!
And you...are just a tiny person, how can you compete with me!"

As he spoke, a majestic aura that was enough to dim the sun and moon and shake the mountains and rivers erupted from the hall, as if it had opened up the barrier between the yin and yang worlds, causing all the ghosts and spirits in the Nine Netherworlds to rush out, covering the whole sky and earth, and unstoppable.

At this moment, Yan Shifan seemed to have truly become one with the destiny of the country, exuding a majestic, ancient, vast and heavy aura.

This is the reason why he and Jiajing were able to reach such a state while focusing on state affairs and practicing martial arts.

Jiajing was an emperor who ascended the throne at a young age and enjoyed offerings from all over the world at all times. He was born at the pinnacle of power and naturally could deeply understand the great trend and spirit.

The relationship between heaven and man is an issue that a boxer must study throughout his life, but the relationship between people and the relationship between people and countries is also an equally complex and grand issue that is in no way inferior to the relationship between heaven and man.

Yan Shifan personally promoted policies and participated in state affairs to understand this trend. Moreover, this young cabinet minister often left the capital secretly to explore local customs and officials in various places.

This is not only to better grasp power, but also to broaden one's mind and develop a stronger and more powerful fist.

Therefore, Yan Shifan had the confidence to scold Jiajing and declared that "the two capitals and thirteen provinces are all on my shoulders."

As he often came into contact with practical affairs, he could indeed understand the hardships of state affairs better than Jiajing, who was always high and mighty and controlled the government by manipulating civil and military officials.

However, Yan Shifan's fist force is not to carry mountains and rivers on his shoulders, but to sacrifice mountains and rivers as fuel in order to meet the immortals!

In fact, Jiajing, Yan Shifan, and Zhu Tiandu are all the same kind of people. They all have firm and outstanding wills, as well as strong and progressive ambitions.

Even the supreme throne in the world could not stop their ambitions and desires. The eyes of these three dragons among men, extraordinary geniuses, were always fixed on the immortal gate that seemed to hang high in the sky and beyond the reach of anyone.

In order to realize their ambitions and carry out their will, even if it is just an unknown goal, they are still able to burn the whole world to it!
Hearing Yan Shifan's words, Xu Xing pursed his lips and smiled softly. He put his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering, and said contemptuously:
"Are you qualified to talk to me about the fate of a country and the general trend? Do you know what a country is? Do you understand what a trend is?"

Hearing this rebuttal that was without any reason or logic, Yan Shifan wanted to laugh out loud, but an extremely strong and strange feeling surged in his chest, forcing him to stop laughing.

Because Yan Shifan could fully feel the seriousness and disdain in Xu Xing's words.

This person was not defeated in the debate, but he truly thought that what he said was all bullshit, so he just ignored him and was too lazy to argue.

If you want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, the most important thing is to be absolutely honest with yourself, otherwise there is no possibility of achieving the highest level of sincerity.

——But how can this person be so determined?
Yan Shifan has lived to this age and sat in this position. He has seen countless people in his life, including loyal ministers and generals, rebels and rebels, heroes and tyrants...

No matter what type of person he is, he can understand him well at first sight.

But Yan Shifan had never seen someone so self-centered and arrogant as Xu Xing. It seemed that even if all the thoughts of the people in the world were gathered together, there was no way to shake his will.

——How is this possible!

Catching Yan Shifan's moment of distraction, Xu Xing stamped his feet suddenly and shouted:
"How dare you, a coward, talk nonsense about the general situation! How ridiculous!"

This was basically the first time that Xu Xing had used all his strength since he had achieved perfection in both Yin and Yang and endured the fire that burned his body. The power and ferocity of his shaking feet this time were beyond the imagination of all the masters in the world!

Yuxi Palace was originally the place where Emperor Jiajing practiced his boxing and studied alchemy. Everything in it is gorgeous and exquisite. Even the floor tiles are specially fired and very sturdy. If it were taken out of the palace, even if there was only one tile, it would be enough to sell for a sky-high price.

It can be said that such a temple alone is enough to support countless households and save countless lives.

However, after Xu Xing stomped his feet, these things seemed so fragile and vulnerable!
Boom boom boom boom! ! ! !

The sounds of the floor exploding merged into a stream, shaking almost the entire abode and even the palace. With Xu Xing as the center, an incredibly powerful force spread out.

The floor tiles of the entire temple suddenly arched up, like waves, surging and sweeping, swinging endlessly in all directions, smashing into pieces on the surrounding walls, as if the dome was shaking.

Under such powerful force, a figure clad in darkness was forced out from the crowd by Xu Xing. It was Yan Shifan, whose true appearance had never been revealed.

The young cabinet minister's face was filled with horror. He had never expected that Xu Xing's explosive power could be so strong. Even though he was just stomping his feet to exert his strength, before he actually launched an attack, he was already shocked by it.

In fact, the battle between the two peerless powerful men had already begun the moment Xu Xing stepped over the threshold.

This palace was where Emperor Jiajing convened the cabinet to discuss matters on weekdays. The feng shui formation and aura pattern are closely related to the country's destiny. Naturally, it has an aura of family, country, and the world, and of supreme supremacy.

If a master with keen perception were to be here, he would be able to feel the oppression everywhere. Even ordinary people who are not familiar with martial arts would feel solemn and dignified when they come here, and would be cautious and hold their breath.

After Yan Shifan controlled Emperor Jiajing with his fist that could devour everything, he had completely occupied this place that symbolized the pinnacle of power in this world and took full advantage of the feng shui formation of this palace.

According to mythology, Yan Shifan treated this place as his own Taoist temple, which was a great location.

The reason why he didn't show up just now and only used words to attack Xu Xing was that he wanted to take advantage of this geographical advantage to weaken Xu Xing's momentum and thus create an opportunity for a fatal blow.

When it comes to Yan Shifan and Xu Xing's level, martial arts battles have gone beyond simple physical combat and have reached another mysterious realm.

It is not only about comparing the changes in moves and physical strength, but also about comparing the opponent's spiritual realm, and the latter is even more important.

Therefore, Yan Shifan, who had the advantage of geographical location and was in line with the country's destiny, was so confident and arrogant.

Because at his level, he couldn't imagine how anyone in this world could resist such a force? !
But Xu Xing used this shocking kick to tell Yan Shifan a truth - he was capable!
Yan Shifan only felt that when Xu Xing stepped on this time, he was not stepping on the floor, but on the fate and destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty. He could even hear a faint wailing sound coming from the void.

In his eyes, Xu Xing seemed to have turned into a giant ape, with his feet on the dragon veins of mountains and rivers, exuding a fiery and violent aura, reaching out to pick stars and flipping his palm to grab the moon.

The so-called general trend of the people and the destiny of the country are so insignificant in front of him.

Another wailing sound was heard. In Yan Shifan's eyes, the invisible dragon vein's energy was surging more and more violently, but it was just a dying struggle, all in vain, and could not shake Xu Xing at all.

"How can it be?!"

For a moment, Yan Shifan even felt strong doubts in his heart.

He originally thought that his path was the grand road leading to the immortal gate, but in front of the pure strength and spiritual will displayed by Xu Xing, the achievements that Yan Shifan was proud of seemed so small and insignificant.

"Is his boxing skill really that high?!"

While he was doubtful, Yan Shifan had already sensed the energy and burst out with all his momentum and strength. A strong wind suddenly blew up on the spot and blew through the entire palace.

The wind was blowing fiercely, the curtains were rustling, the extinguished candles fell off the shelves and shattered into pieces, the air flow was violently blowing, and it soared far into the distance, completely blowing open the two doors behind.

Before the strong wind subsided, Yan Shifan crossed the long distance of nearly a hundred steps in one step and came in front of Xu Xing.

After all, Yan Shifan was one of the few powerful human-immortal level warriors throughout history. Even though he was surprised, he still put aside all distractions as soon as he made a move and poured all his attention into the battle.

His eyes were deep and dark, as if leading to an unfathomable abyss; his fists, palms, fingers, legs, knees, shoulders, elbows and hips moved in unison, and every part of his body was the most powerful and sharp weapon in the world; every move and every style was a deadly killing move.

In the darkness, there emerged dense claw shadows, fists, palm prints... countless moves were like a huge net, covering Xu Xing from all directions.

With the blessing of this mysterious force, although Yan Shifan did not truly reach the realm of human immortal where both yin and yang are perfect, soul and flesh are united, and the whole is one, he was still able to use the body of a human immortal to perform human immortal boxing.

Even a master or grandmaster of boxing is no different from an ordinary person in the face of such a fierce and powerful attack. If hit by one blow, their bodies will be torn into pieces and they will die on the spot.

This is the meaning of the word "Xian":

Below the level of immortals, all mortals are ants!
At their level, the only ones who can check and balance each other are human immortals of the same level.

Apart from this, even if more masters join forces, it will not be of much significance.

These forces were combined extremely closely with Yan Shifan's fist and aura. They not only forced toward Xu Xing's body, but also transformed into all sorts of evil thoughts, carrying a torrent of desire, and washed towards his soul.

Xu Xing even saw completely different shadows in him, one after another. There was a man as powerful as a storm, swallowing up the world, a red-robed lama with a heart as strong as a diamond, and an unstoppable heart. There was a golden statue of Buddha sitting in the mandala, holding a mandala in his hand...

These people were all boxing masters who had swallowed up their boxing artistic conception and even their three souls and seven spirits after being defeated by Yan Shifan. For a moment, Yan Shifan actually used only his hands and feet to beat the effect of several masters besieging him! This was very similar to the Heavenly Demon Realm that Xu Xing had experienced in Southern Shaolin.

The difference is that under Yan Shifan's manipulation, these alternating and evolving boxing moves are much more powerful and bizarre than the remaining spiritual will of the Southern Shaolin masters of all generations, and are more than ten times more dangerous.

Xu Xing immediately realized that the Chakravartin's devilish boxing style must have been learned from Yan Shifan.

However, compared with this peerless demon who truly wants to corrupt all living beings and turn the entire world into a filthy land of demons, the devil-like monk status of the Chakravartin is simply laughable!

This is exactly Yan Shifan’s fist style—the devil swallows the world!
At this moment, the darkness was so deep that it seemed to swallow up everything in the world.

The way of man is to reduce what is deficient and increase what is in excess.

Swallow everything and achieve my own path!

Faced with what could be described as the most terrifying and evil punches and moves in the world, Xu Xing's expression did not waver at all, and the means he used to fight the enemy were extremely simple.

He waved his hands, stirring up a surging airflow and taking in all the force that was breaking through the air. He stepped with his right foot again, and the potential force was unparalleled, deep and vast, going straight into the ground.

All I could hear was a rumbling sound, faintly coming from deep within the earth.

This time, the floor tiles did not show any abnormality. Instead, the sturdy pillars around the hall shook violently, and this "vibration" spread far and wide.

Yan Shifan heard another extremely miserable wail.

Behind him, Jiajing, who looked like a clay or wooden sculpture, suddenly felt his eyes tremble, and a series of explosions came from his whole body. His head tilted, and he fell to the ground without any sound.

--What? !

Although Yan Shifan had long expected that Xu Xing was a lawless madman, he had not imagined that he would kill Jiajing, the supreme emperor who had controlled the government for decades, as casually as kicking a stray dog ​​to death.

Although Yan Shifan was one step ahead of Jiajing, he still admired the emperor deeply, otherwise he would not have used his fists to manipulate him like a puppet.

This is because, in Yan Shifan's view, Jiajing is still the representative of righteousness and orthodoxy in the Central Plains, and only by saving his life can he continue to act.

But what Yan Shifan valued as his life was actually so worthless in Xu Xing's eyes.

——How can you be so carefree when dealing with major issues in the world?
Yan Shifan couldn't understand it, and even felt so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood.

At this moment, it seemed as if the backbone of the dying old dragon of the Ming Dynasty, along with its fading life, were completely crushed by Xu Xing.

In an instant, the layout of the entire palace changed, and then the entire Yuxi Palace, the entire Forbidden City, and even the entire world seemed to be completely new, with a kind of vigorous vitality that all things were competing to thrive.

Yan Shifan was also a man of great learning and talent. When he saw this scene, a hexagram immediately appeared in his mind:
Use nine to see a group of dragons without a leader, which is auspicious.

The Way of Heaven is an endless cycle. Things reach their extreme and then reverse. Yang turns to Yin, hardness goes and softness comes. Then one can use softness to assist hardness. One can use nine without being used by nine. One does not regard oneself as the head of all things. This is the beauty of the Way of Heaven.

Yan Shifan finally understood why Xu Xing had been so disdainful of refuting just now. It turned out that to this man, the so-called situation of the country and the nation was so vulnerable!
It's not just as simple as being vulnerable.

Even in this moment of destruction, Xu Xing used his unpredictable and indescribable boxing spirit to rebuild the broken national destiny and injected new vitality into it!

——What level of martial arts has he reached? !

Yan Shifan couldn't believe that there existed such a boxing and such a person in the world, but the fact was right before his eyes and he had no choice but to believe it!

Yan Shifan originally thought that the national destiny and dragon fate were the strongest forces in the world, and the best representation of this power was naturally the throne of the emperor.

This perception was not unique to Yan Shifan, but was a consensus shared by him, Jiajing, and Zhu Tiandu, the number one traitor.

To these three people, although the world is big, they can only see each other. They are like the only three players on the chessboard.

This situation created a situation where three powerful nations coexisted in the world, and also gave Yan Shifan and others the pressure and motivation to make progress bravely.

However, the appearance of Xu Xing completely shattered this concept. It turned out that the emperor was not a supreme being, and the path to becoming an immortal through martial arts was not the only way to do so.

What is the significance of the so-called orthodoxy of the Central Plains and the majesty of the royal family?
What’s the point of me struggling for this all my life?
Yan Shifan's "using the country as fuel to build my own evil boxing style" was originally based on the fortune of the country and the dynasty. Now it was broken so easily and cleanly by Xu Xing. The boxing technique and the divine will could not be combined, and naturally a huge flaw appeared.

However, considering his talent and ability, this is not a big problem.

After all, what does it matter if the picture in your mind is an illusion?

How many people in this world have nothing but arrogant and empty thoughts in their thoughts, without any hope of achieving anything. Yet, they are still firm in their faith and consistent, and eventually they can achieve great success.

In fact, isn’t the road to becoming an immortal the same for the person in front of him? But does he have even the slightest hesitation?

This series of thoughts flashed through Yan Shifan's mind like lightning. It only took him a very short time to gather his thoughts, pull himself together and regroup.

——But Xu Xing will not give him this time!

When practicing boxing to the level of Xu Xing, any change in fighting style can be done effortlessly and spontaneously without the need for thinking or hesitation. This is the true meaning of being the best in the world and invincible.

Therefore, the moment Xu Xing noticed the flaw in Yan Shifan's state of mind, he immediately ignored the fact that his body was burning, and even made use of the fire, unleashing the most powerful killing move in his life!
Xu Xing took a deep breath and no longer tried to suppress the raging fire, but let it go completely.

A ball of fire emerged from his flesh inch by inch, and as soon as it appeared, it ignited his clothes, with the power to burn everything and destroy everything.

The fire came out silently, but it seemed to be ignited in Yan Shifan's heart and burned fiercely.

His eyes shook violently, his body fell to the ground, and he retreated several steps, almost completely defeated.

Xu Xing's figure flashed and he had already chased in front of Yan Shifan like a shadow. His left hand was like a roc flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, and he slapped and hit upwards. His right hand was like a dragon leaping out of the sea, making clouds and rain, pushing and hitting horizontally, and at the same time, he stomped on the ground like a violent ape splitting the earth and crushing the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.

The gathering of the roc, the dragon, and the ape seemed to overturn the sky, the ocean, and the earth. The sky was collapsing, the earth was sinking, the sea was drying up, and the rocks were crumbling. It seemed as if the whole world was heading for the end of doomsday.

This was exactly the killer move that Xu Xing learned from Zhu Tiandu's void-breaking sea-covering fist after he killed him.

In the face of such a punch and such a person, what else in the world can resist?
Yan Shifan didn't know the answer, but he still roared wildly and used both hands to resist. He raised his left hand upside down and blocked Xu Xing's attack with the momentum of holding up the sky. He clenched his right fist and punched out, but the fist hole was empty, making a whistling sound.

For the first time, the two men exchanged left hands.

collapse!collapse!collapse!
Amid the three crisp sounds of breaking strings, horrifying purple-blue marks appeared on Yan Shifan's flawless skin, which was as white as jade and as smooth as porcelain. Those were the tendons that were torn apart by Xu Xing.

The second time, Yan Shifan's right hand was a step slower and failed to block Xu Xing's right hand, and was hit hard on the chest by this powerful palm.

After a muffled sound, Yan Shifan's back suddenly arched up, as if a big iron ball was stuffed in it. Then there was another bang, and a huge hole of rotten flesh appeared on his entire back. His spine was broken, and his internal organs and bone fragments were splashed out all at once, forming a large pool of blood behind him.

Xu Xing turned around again, pulled back his right arm, swung his left arm, and put his five fingers together to form a knife. The knife flashed and swept across Yan Shifan's neck. The air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood and iron.

With a swish sound, a huge head flew up into the sky.

Although his entire body was completely blown up, Yan Shifan's mouth was still opening and closing, making sounds while he was flying in the air.

"Lawless and without any taboos, what a great sage among demons!"

The head fell to the ground. This peerless strong man, who was only one step away from usurping the throne and changing the dynasty, died in battle.

After all, apart from those anecdotes whose authenticity is unknown, Xu Xing is already the figure standing at the top of the world's martial arts history for thousands of years. He is truly the number one person from ancient times to the present.

Yan Shifan wanted to rely on the physique and spirit that he had pieced together to fight against himself, who was only half a step away from opening the door to immortality and was a truly flawless resident immortal. That was completely like looking at the world from a well and being too arrogant.

Therefore, he died extremely quickly.

However, in Xu Xing's view, Yan Shifan's death was just the beginning of the battle.

His real opponent is not someone else, but himself!

boom!
The fire burning his body started from Xu Xing's dantian and soon spread to his lower abdomen. Wherever the flame passed, it burned his muscles, incinerated his internal organs, and burned his bone marrow, and it was almost out of control.

But at this moment Xu Xing had entered into a mysterious state, unconscious and almost oblivious to himself and the world.

At this moment, Xu Xing suddenly raised his hands, and once again exerted his last bit of strength to launch the same combined attack that had just killed Yan Shifan.

Since the deaths of Yan Shifan and Jiajing, Xu Xing's spiritual realm has leaped to an elusive level. The power of this combined attack is more than one level stronger than before.

But the power of this move came from no one else but Xu Xing's body!

After this punch, Xu Xing's body, which was already barely holding up, was shattered on the spot and almost torn into pieces.

Hot blood spurted out from forty-eight thousand pores and evaporated into balls of light red mist before it hit the ground.

But in a world that cannot be seen by the naked eye, what splashed out was not only blood, but also a human figure condensed like green smoke. The appearance of this person was exactly the same as Xu Xing!
After the human figure was peeled off, the originally raging and uncontrollable flames seemed to become docile all of a sudden, cleansing the body from head to toe again.

Wherever the flames passed, there was a glow of glazed jade light, the whole body was clear, and the skin, flesh, bones, internal organs were all clearly visible.

Looking at his own body, Xu Xing's soul smiled slightly.

——It works!
This was exactly the inspiration he got from Da Lei Tian's physical body and Zhu Tiandu's last punch.

Since the body can generate consciousness on its own, and the soul and body are already out of balance, why not separate the soul and let the flame cleanse only the body?
Moreover, the fire that burns the body is condensed from the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. After the soul representing the "god" leaves the body, the three treasures are no longer harmonious and unobstructed, so their power will naturally decrease a lot and should not burn the physical body.

This method sounds simple, but it is full of wild imagination and its feasibility is basically extremely low. If ten thousand people imitate it, ten thousand people will definitely die.

Another extremely important factor that enabled Xu Xing to put it into practice was that he often put his consciousness into the stone mirror and dominated the body simulated by the mirror image.

During this process, although Xu Xing did not understand how Shi Jing did it, he had mastered the technique of separating the mind from the body, which is why he was able to succeed in such a thrilling experiment.

If not for this, even if his boxing skills were several times higher, he would still be dead today.

After his soul and body were briefly separated, Xu Xing had not yet had time to feel this extremely rare state before he was shaken by a flood of information that rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Haotian Mirror, a mirror that connects all worlds and travels across the universe? What the hell is this?"

Before Xu Xing had time to "read" this information carefully, his soul and body were captured by an extremely powerful gravitational force, forcibly fused together, and thrown into an unknown place.

At this moment, the long night is over.

The sun gradually emerged from the sea of ​​clouds. A ray of fresh sunlight penetrated the haze and sprinkled into the hall, illuminating the entire room.

Xu Xing's figure has disappeared without a trace.
