I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 260 Heavenly Gate Defeats Xuanfu

Chen Zhian stood in mid-air, his Heavenly Gate Realm True Essence surging like a tide. Behind him, Lu Wu Divine Image roared to the sky. Clouds and mist rose in the house, obscuring Lu Wu Divine Image.

Behind He Guan, the pitch-black serpent coiled in his Xuanfu raised its head, and as it flicked its tongue, wisps of energy gradually flowed through it!

The surrounding air became quiet.

The giant serpent god emitted a ghostly green light, watching Chen Zhian warily.

Meanwhile, the Tiger Soul Blade at Chen Zhian's waist clanged, and the smoke and flames on the Yun Chuan Sword rolled and gradually spread throughout Longmen Street.

"Lord Chen..." He Guan seemed to want to speak.

However, in the next instant, Chen Zhian's Tiger Soul Blade was suddenly drawn from its sheath, the Azure Emperor Blade Intent surging with a chilling aura, and all things were filled with desolation.

At the same time, the faint image of Lu Wu behind Chen Zhian suddenly became clear.

The unimaginable majesty of Lu Wu once again coalesced into divine power!
The so-called divine form is the inheritance of heaven and earth!
In the Jade Palace Realm, one can merge with the true energy of the Dao, and by cultivating the Divine Form, one can obtain true Divine Form and supernatural powers.

Divine abilities have no rank, but they become increasingly powerful as the cultivator improves!
For this reason, Chen Zhian's Azure Emperor Blade Intent surged at this moment, amplified by Lu Wu's Divine Power - the unparalleled might of the Nine Guardians.

This one, after Lu Wu Shen Xiang, seemed to transform into nine tails, just like nine layers of sword energy, each sword seemingly containing the vast majesty of guarding heaven and earth.

The moment the blade strikes, it's as if divine generals are beating drums and lining up their ranks; the moment the blade falls, it's as if the heavenly law is binding and seizing sins!

At this moment, the name Lu Wu seemed to represent the will of Heaven!

"Before the sword arrives, the imperial judgment has already come!"

"Ninefold Patrol! One of Lu Wu's two divine abilities, in terms of grade, it can probably be called a second-grade divine ability!"

someone exclaimed.

How precious and rare is a second-grade divine power?
Lu Wu's divine image ranks twenty-fourth on the list of divine images... Because of such a high ranking, many disciples of the six surnames of the Great Yu Dynasty, even if they feel that the position of seal holder is just a formality, still suppress their cultivation and do not step into the Jade Palace Realm, so as to have the opportunity to obtain Lu Wu's Heavenly Image Diagram.

Today, Chen Zhian has obtained the position of seal-bearer and the title of Lu Wu Tianxiang.

Yet he was able to wield such terrifying supernatural powers with his cultivation level at the beginning of the Jade Palace, which is enough to prove the profoundness of Lu Wu's inheritance!
The Tiger Soul Blade trembled slightly, and Chen Zhian's figure flashed with the blade's light. A surging killing intent mixed with the Azure Emperor's Blade Intent instantly traversed many distances and arrived in front of He Guan.

The blade flashed!
He Guan couldn't suppress the surprise in his eyes.

But he was a member of the Xuanfu sect, so how could he sit idly by and wait for his death?

He Guan withdrew, and the giant snake behind him transformed into a ghostly light and fell into his hand.

Whether it was a giant serpent transforming into a sword, or the divine image of a giant serpent landing on his personal sword, He Guan found himself holding a golden-green sword with serpent patterns engraved on it!

The great serpent sword flashed and suddenly swung!

The Xuanfu behind He Guan was like a mountain of true essence, with endless true essence within it.

Enveloped by the sword's edge, unimaginable true essence condensed into a divine power, aiming directly at Chen Zhi'an's brow.

Orochi's sword light!

Instantly, countless sword lights crisscrossed, piercing straight ahead, and then transformed into many giant serpent god forms, whipping their tails fiercely!
【Mysterious Scales】!
Within the supernatural power lies another supernatural power. The sword light and the scales of the giant snake fly about, each scale transforming into a vortex of sharp blades, attempting to swallow Chen Zhian and his nine patrolling sword lights into the vortex.

"If I were to defeat the Heavenly Gate with my Xuanfu, wouldn't I become a laughingstock of the world?"

He Guan snorted coldly, his aura soaring like a rainbow, his true essence as imposing as a mountain!
However, to He Guan's surprise, Chen Zhian also did not retreat or evade. His blade flashed, and his sword aura suddenly became as heavy as mountains and rivers.

boom!
The two collided, and astonishing ripples spread out once again.

The small house was instantly reduced to dust.

Even several uninhabited houses in the surrounding area were affected!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, He Guan's presence was revealed, his face ashen.

"Is this the true essence strength of the Heavenly Gate Realm?"

He Guan's eyes were gloomy, and the great formation beneath his feet shone brightly. One after another, the phantoms of swords merged into the phantom of the giant serpent, piercing straight into the void.

A thunder flashed.

Chen Zhian seemed to have been forced out.

A sword light flew out from behind him and pierced the ground.

Cracks appeared in the earth, and the array and supernatural powers that He Guan had constructed began to dim.

"Hmm? Chen Zhian's divine power is actually able to detect the core of He Guan's divine array?" Prince Duanque exclaimed softly.

Before he could even be surprised, He Guan had already vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had transformed into nine clones.

【Shadow Splitting Light Divine Power】!
A third-grade divine power was activated.

Chen Zhian was enveloped in Ling Ye's divine power, with bursts of thunder.

But he clearly sensed that nine sharp sword energies were coming towards him.

Lightning erupted beneath Chen Zhian's feet once more, his speed reaching its peak.

When the Mountain and River Solo Technique is unleashed, it's as if the mountains and rivers are giving birth to sword light, and endless sword light comes rampant, as if it wants to sweep away everything.

He firmly controlled the Cloud River Sword in the sky.

A beacon tower appears in this house.

The billowing flames and sword energy transformed into a tornado, becoming a sword domain that had already enveloped He Guan without anyone knowing when!

He Guan felt that the sword energy was extremely sharp and the sword light was incredibly mysterious. It was even more powerful and mysterious than his swordsmanship, which combined the Great Serpent's Divine Power, the Shadowy Landscape, and the Great Serpent's Sword Intent.

"Is this the combat power that someone at the Heavenly Gate Realm can possess?"

He Guan considers himself a genius.

But today he met a true genius.

Unfortunately, this true genius was his rival, his enemy!

"With the cultivation of the Profound Mansion realm, how could we be defeated by the Heavenly Gate!"

Suddenly, He Guan's body burst into flames.

His robes began to burn intensely, and a blood-red, serpentine sword light appeared.

The serpent god behind him became increasingly solid and lifelike.

Chen Zhian could keenly sense that He Guan seemed to be merging with his divine form through the help of Dao Zhen, and his aura was becoming increasingly powerful!
敕！
A sound rang out!
Chen Zhian could clearly see He Guan in the distance, yet the divine energy permeating the void stirred strangely.

Chen Zhian subconsciously turned around, and the Baxia dragon body, which had been elevated by the dragon vein, suddenly began to operate.

Golden light outlined the scales on his body, and a large tendon suddenly sprang open. He turned around in such a bizarre way that his left elbow swept out like a dragon horn!

Within the thirty-six hidden orifices, blood and qi surged like a mighty river. In the Heavenly Gate, which replaced the Yuan Guan and the Innate Fetal Palace, purple true essence spread throughout Chen Zhi'an's entire body almost in the blink of an eye.

Click!
A crisp sound rang out.

Chen Zhian's left arm seemed to have struck a figure hidden in the void, but due to the collision with the supernatural power, it splattered out drops of blood!
However, He Guan's figure, burning with green flames, was forcefully knocked out by Chen Zhian's elbow strike from the void. His tall crown rolled off, his black hair was disheveled, and he looked disheveled!

Chen Zhian was still struggling to catch his breath, because the illusory figure left behind where He Guan had been earlier had also appeared with a sword, aiming straight for Chen Zhian's head!

"Shedding its body like a snake!" He Guan felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a smile was just about to appear on his face...

At this moment, the distant beacon fires and smoke signals seemed to transform into numerous swords and armor, like an army lined up, charging forward to block the supernatural serpent's molted body!

The snake's molted body shattered.

He Guan's pupils narrowed slightly, and in the next instant, he heard the Tiger Soul Blade seem to be ringing again.

Chen Zhian's sword intent was once again concentrated on the hundreds of variations of the Nine Guardians, and the sword momentum suddenly surged, with a terrifying shockwave that seemed to overturn the entire Dragon Gate Street!

"Nine Guardian Divisions - Mountain and River Patrol!"

Lu Wu's nine tails reappeared, converging from all directions into the tip of Chen Zhian's Tiger Soul Blade!
Chen Zhian's gaze was calm as he pressed down on the hilt of his knife.

The young tiger's supernatural power [Lingye] transforms into thunder.

Half of the lightning bolts fell into his Tiger Soul Blade, while the other half transformed into a bridge of lightning.

Chen Zhian stepped across the bridge and arrived in front of He Guan in an instant!

The long sword cleaved down, shaking heaven and earth!
He Guan hurriedly summoned two mysterious treasures, and the Great Serpent God opened its blood-red maw, while sword light rushed in, attempting to block Chen Zhian's strike...

But Chen Zhian's strike was too powerful.

Chen Zhian used his mysterious supernatural powers to the fullest extent.

It seems that Chen Zhian has fully comprehended the nine sections of the Lu Wu Divine Physician's Guardian Inheritance.

Chen Zhian's Heavenly Gate True Essence seemed to be incomparably powerful and inexhaustible.

Furthermore, the young tiger's divine power [Ling Ye] has become even more formidable as Chen Zhi'an has entered the Jade Palace realm!
Everything adds up...

Chen Zhian's strike seemed capable of truly suppressing mountains and rivers!
Rumble!
He Guan's two mysterious treasures were immediately repelled, the giant serpent statue shattered inch by inch, and the wondrous sword light was completely swallowed by Chen Zhi'an's nine patrol blades.

He Guan was bleeding from all seven orifices, his true energy was dissipating, and he knelt on the ground, looking extremely disheveled!

The flashes of swords surged forth, then dissipated.

Chen Zhian had arrived in front of He Guan without anyone noticing.

His blade pressed against He Guan's throat: "Young Master He, it seems you'll have to come with me to the Censorate's black jail."

……

Another storm is brewing, and the weather is getting colder.

Turbulent times continued on Longmen Street, with many mansions collapsing completely due to Chen Zhian's sudden intervention.

In fact... if it weren't for the fact that there were plenty of strong people in the houses on Longmen Street who could block the aftershocks of their true energy during their fight, the entire Longmen Street would probably have been affected.

But these are all minor matters and not worth paying attention to.

The real big deal is that... Chen Zhian has entered the Heavenly Gate Realm and mastered the Nine Guardian Divine Powers of Lu Wu. He defeated He Guan, who was at the Jiang Xuanfu Realm, in just a few dozen rounds.

What surprised and surprised everyone even more was...

In this struggle, Chen Zhian did not take out the Jade Token Sword bestowed upon him by the Sage, nor did he wear the [clothing], nor did he wear the [Fenghuai Pearl Crown], nor did he use treasures such as the [Nine-Linked Jade Rings].

The true combat power of this fifth-ranked member of the Young Tiger Monument has completely surpassed that of ordinary Xuanfu members!
At this moment, Longmen Street was extremely quiet. Countless eyes and countless divine presences were focused on that ruin.

Chen Zhian stood in an open space, while He Guan knelt in front of him, severely injured.

The once-glorious Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was now in a state of disordered breathing, his brows furrowed with rage: "Chen Zhi'an, you have just gained power, and you are already using this power bestowed by the Emperor to settle personal scores! What crime have I committed?"

"You are naturally pleased to have avenged your personal grudge, but you do not know that this power is bestowed by the court and personally granted by the emperor. It must not be desecrated... You will pay the price for what you have done today."

He Guan roared angrily.

This man from a humble background certainly had some courage; he was defeated by Chen Zhi'an, yet he still dared to rebuke Chen Zhi'an.

Just then, a light suddenly flashed in the distant sky.

As the light drew closer, it turned out to be a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage soared through the air. Wang Ling, the prefect of the capital, held up the curtain, his face grim, and looked down at Chen Zhian on Longmen Street.

Following the carriage, many more officials and clerks from the capital's prefectural government arrived in haste.

Wang Lingzhu had not yet fully arrived, but his voice had already reached them.

"Lord Chen, Longmen Street is a vital place in Xuantianjing, and the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is an important official in the court... Even if you hold the seal of the court, you must not arrest people without cause!"

"But I wonder what exactly Lord He Guan has done wrong? Has he refined human pills, seized land from the people, or used human lives to forge weapons? Does he require you to personally intervene and use your power to intimidate others?"

Wang Lingzhu's voice drifted over from afar.

He Guan was kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up.

At this moment, however, he stiffened his neck and looked up at Chen Zhian.

"Using your power to settle personal scores, Chen Zhi'an... how long do you think you can hold onto this position?" He Guan sneered.

Chen Zhian looked up at the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture and sensed the many divine presences and gazes on Longmen Street.

He smiled slightly, sheathed the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand, and squatted down.

Chen Zhian met He Guan's gaze and said, "Lord He, your ambition is great. You have indeed not cultivated the Blood Sacrifice Dao. In addition, the Censorate has been busy with the tasks assigned by the Sage for the past two years and has no time to supervise all the officials in the court. In fact, there are not many charges in the Censorate's files that can put you in prison."

Wang Lingzhu also sneered.

He Guan took a deep breath, about to speak... but then heard Chen Zhian speak again...

"But Lord He is cautious yet arrogant."

He is cautious towards adults, but quite arrogant towards ordinary people.

For example, the Lin family father and daughter who traveled a long way to seek justice for General Yun Tingyun… Lord He completely disregarded them. Therefore, after secretly ordering the yamen runners in the capital to kill Lin Yu, Lord He made no attempt to cover up the crime or conceal the evidence.”

He Guan immediately opened his eyes wide and looked up at Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian explored, took out a file, and gently patted He Guan's cheek with it.

He Guan's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed extremely surprised.

“I know what you’re surprised about.” Chen Zhian’s eyes gleamed.

He Guan's body trembled, as if he found it absurd and unbelievable.

His surprise was not because the Inspectorate had recorded He Guan's crime.

His voice trembled as he questioned Chen Zhian, "Chen Zhian! You broke into my residence, razed my house, and tried to imprison me because of a mere Guan Min... because of something as insignificant as a weed?"

He found it utterly absurd and unbelievable!

He is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, a cultivator at the Xuanfu realm, the son-in-law of the Lu family of Shangyuan, and a young and talented cultivator!
When he grows old, perhaps he can ascend to the Heavenly Palace and become a rare figure in the Great Yu Dynasty!
But today, Chen Zhian barged in like a wild bull, causing such a commotion, all just for...

The ridiculous death of Guan Min's woman?
