I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 207 The power of the holy soldiers, and more magical skills!
However, the moment Jin Xiaotang revealed Su Yuqing's identity, Guang Chanzi and Master Pudu's pupils shrank noticeably, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Emperor Jingtai had many daughters, and naturally many princesses.

But the most capable and talented one among them is the eldest princess, Su Yuqing.

He has been in charge of the Nanyang Demon Suppression Office for more than twenty years and has always been low-key and introverted.

Guang Chanzi had been playing cat and mouse games with the eldest princess in Nanyang Prefecture for more than twenty years and was quite wary of her.

He never expected that after hiding in Nanyang Prefecture for so many years, he would now meet her in a small place like Qingwu County. He immediately felt a great sense of loss.

"Master Pudu! Please cover my retreat." Guang Chanzi immediately spoke to the old monk next to him, while his heels were slightly suspended in the air and he tapped the ground with his toes, ready to run away at any time.

"Amitabha."

Master Pu Du chanted a Buddhist name, "I am here, so don't worry, Master."

Immediately, Master Pudu took back the rosary in his hand and bowed to Su Yuqing with one palm. "This matter has nothing to do with you, donor. Why do you have to forcibly interfere with other people's karma?"

Su Yuqing slowly raised the small metal ball in her palm. "Master, you are a pure Buddhist. I don't think you have mastered the Dharma, but you have perfected your eloquence."

Master Pudu appeared compassionate and calm, but he clutched his rosary tightly in his hand, his hidden secrets already revealed. "Both the donor and I are fourth-grade Grandmasters. If we were to engage in a hasty confrontation, the outcome would be uncertain, and the situation might even affect the villagers nearby. They say it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why not sit down and talk? In Buddhism, we enjoy helping others resolve conflicts."

Su Yuqing shook her head. "In this dynasty, the Buddhist sect is headed by the Great Zen Temple. You are just an evil monk and cannot be called a Buddhist sect."

After saying that, Su Yuqing stopped talking nonsense and suddenly threw the small metal ball in his palm towards Master Pudu.

Master Pu Du glanced at the ordinary metal ball, disapprovingly, and threw a prayer bead to meet the attack. However, the moment the prayer bead touched the metal ball, it was cut into countless small pieces and eventually turned into powder.

hiss!
Master Pu Du finally realized the seriousness of the problem. His eyes suddenly widened and he pushed Guang Chanzi away from behind him. "This is a sword ball. Quickly disperse..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "boom" and the small metal ball suddenly exploded like fireworks, turning into tiny sword threads that swept towards Master Pu Du and Guang Chanzi.

Just like a highly compressed ball of wool, it suddenly burst out with curved and sharp threads, sweeping and pressing down.

Wherever the sword passed, large trees were pierced and countless holes were created on the ground.

Wherever it passed, there were holes everywhere and no grass grew.

Even though Guang Chanzi and Master Pudu had dodged several of the sword threads with incredible speed, the sheer number of them was simply too great. Within moments, a sword thread pierced Guang Chanzi's chest, sending him sprawling to the ground, spitting blood.

"Master, save me!"

In a moment of desperation, Master Pu Du immediately removed his own red cassock and wrapped it around Guang Chanzi. Guang Chanzi remained trembling with fear, desperate, his hands covering his eyes, afraid to look. The next moment, however, he noticed that the countless sword threads struck the cassock with a clanging metallic sound, ultimately failing to penetrate it.

call.

Guang Chanzi finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes to look. He saw that Master Pudu was covered by a layer of golden air currents. These air currents vaguely formed a golden bell, which was upside down outside Master Pudu's body, defending against all sword attacks.

"Amitabha."

Guang Chanzi stood inside the golden bell with his hands clasped together, looking quite like a great monk.

Su Yuqing saw that the sword thread was blocked, and his eyes darkened slightly. "The Golden Bell Cover, one of the four great magic skills of the Great Zen Temple... You, the evil monk, have a very good background."

Guang Chanzi clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, your sword-ball skills are truly remarkable. You and I are evenly matched. If we continue fighting, neither of us will gain any advantage. Why don't you sit down and talk?"

The two sides reached a stalemate.

Endless sword threads continued to madly rush towards the golden bell, but they could not break it. Deafening and sharp crashes were heard, and the storm that was set off swept in all directions, with sand and rocks flying everywhere and the earth cracking.

Even Xie An, who was watching the battle dozens of meters away, could feel the storm rushing towards him, causing pain on his face.

This was the first time that Xie An had witnessed a master-level confrontation, and he was truly deeply shocked by this miraculous scene.

Is this the power of a fourth-grade Grandmaster?
It is really hard to imagine the powerful person who opened the seven secret treasures.

Xie An estimated that if he rushed in, he would be killed in minutes.

It's too magical.

What shocked Xie An even more was that Daqian respected Taoism as the state religion, and he didn't expect that there was also a large Zen temple.

It is so amazing that an evil monk escaped from the Dachan Temple, which shows that this Dachan Temple is also a great and amazing sect.

"Master Huang, does the princess have a chance of winning?" Xie An couldn't tell who was stronger between the two sides, so he asked Master Huang worriedly.

Master Huang said, "Ling Zheng is skilled with the sword, having perfected it to the point where it can slice through iron like mud and twist around one's finger, making him a master of the sword art. However, this Golden Bell Cover is also quite impressive, providing excellent defense. If Ling Zheng's swordsmanship doesn't improve, I'm afraid he won't be able to break through it. A prolonged battle would be disastrous."

"What's the trouble?" Xie An found his heartbeat quickening. He and Su Yuqing usually interacted and communicated frequently. He had never felt that he cared much about this woman's safety, but now, seeing this scene, he was inexplicably worried.

Master Huang said, "Buddhist martial arts are mostly about seeking within, clarifying the mind and nature, and tempering the body. This is especially true of the Great Zen Temple's martial arts. Taoist martial arts are mostly about seeking outward. In terms of a protracted battle, Buddhism has the advantage. Ling Zheng is afraid he won't be able to hold on."

After saying that, Master Huang glanced at Xie An and added, "But don't worry, General Xie. Although my strength has not yet recovered to the peak of the third rank, it is still easy to kill this bald donkey if I take action."

Only then did Xie An breathe a sigh of relief.

In a battle between masters, the slightest difference can determine life or death.

Even though Xie An knew that Su Yuqing was holding the Canglong Holy Weapon, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The white fox then expressed his opinion, "In my opinion, the beautiful sister hasn't exerted her strength yet, big brother, don't panic."

Xie An: “…”

I wasn't panicking, I was just a little worried about accidents.

At that moment, something strange happened on the field.

Su Yuqing waved her right hand, and the myriad sword threads automatically flowed back, quickly condensing into a three-foot silver sword. Holding the sword, Su Yuqing transformed into a stream of light, appearing outside the Golden Bell with the force of thunder, and slashed it with a single blow.

"when!"

The bell hummed, the earth cracked, and the air surged.

The Golden Bell began to shake for the first time.

Then, Su Yuqing's body was as fast as an afterimage, and he slashed the golden bell with his sword again and again, causing the golden bell to make loud noises and shake continuously.

But the golden bell was as solid as a rock, with no cracks at all and no sign of breaking.

"Amitabha, why force yourself, donor?"

Master Pu Du put his hands together, showing the demeanor of a master, and it was obvious that he was very confident in his Golden Bell Cover skills.

Guang Chanzi, wrapped in a cassock, breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to lobby, "Princess, why do you have to fight to the death? I, Guang Chanzi, just want to find a way to survive in the border areas. But you insist on killing us all. How cruel."

Su Yuqing did not refute Guang Chanzi, but stopped after her sword attack failed and she was pushed back several meters.

The night breeze blew her long hair, and the bright moonlight illuminated her cold and beautiful face.

She held the sword in her right hand, bit her finger on her left hand, and lightly wiped the sword. "The Golden Bell Cover is indeed one of the four great skills of the Great Zen Temple, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is invincible."

After absorbing the blood, the long sword, as bright as autumn water, seemed to be greatly stimulated, sensing the will of its master, and emitting bursts of piercing sword sounds. As the long sword vibrated, it suddenly split into countless sword threads.

When compared to sword balls, the number of sword threads is several times more.

Thousands of sword threads transformed into a long river of sword energy, rushing towards the Golden Bell Cover.

Boom!

The Golden Bell suddenly shook violently. As countless sword threads continued to strike, the Golden Bell emitted a sharp sound and shook more and more violently, with faint cracks appearing. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like the Golden Bell was about to collapse.

"hateful!"

Master Pudu no longer had the demeanor of a master as before and became furious. "How could a woman like you cultivate swordsmanship to such a level? You actually have some of Ye Nantian's original style."

Imperial Master, you go first, I will cover your rear."

"Thank you, Master." Guang Chanzi also realized that something was wrong, so he ran away. He turned into a shadow and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

next moment--

Click, click, click!

The cracks on Jin Zhong's body grew bigger and bigger, breaking into pieces.

Master Pu Du immediately withdrew from the Golden Bell and retreated. "Donor, your swordsmanship is unparalleled. I am ashamed of myself. But I can still stop you and buy time for the Imperial Master to escape."

Su Yuqing also knew that the situation was critical, so she grabbed the wooden box on her back and opened it.

Boom!

The ground within a radius of several meters suddenly sank and cracked, and a silver light suddenly shot up from the wooden box into the sky, cutting through the night sky and illuminating the mountains.

As Master Pudu retreated, he suddenly felt a tremendous weight upon him, rendering him unable to move. He was forced to mobilize all his hidden power to resist. Even so, he could not move a single step, and was finally pinned to the ground by the overwhelming pressure.

Pfft!
Master Pu Du was forced to his knees, and the ground within three meters around him sank more than two feet. During this time, Master Pu Du tried to mobilize the Golden Bell to resist, but found that the Golden Bell was shattered the moment it was opened.

How can it be?

Master Pu Du suddenly looked up at the wooden box, "What is this..."

Buzz!

A dazzling silver light continued to emanate from the box, its power surging like the vast ocean. Then, a three-foot-long silver sword slowly floated out of the sword box.

"The Holy Weapon of the Azure Dragon! This is the Holy Weapon of the Azure Dragon! You actually brought the weapon of the Martial Saint of the Azure Dragon..." Master Pudu spat out a mouthful of blood. He no longer had any will to fight and his whole body was wilted.

He knew it was over!
All is lost.

The entire Tiananmen State may collapse from this moment on.

Even if it was just a Martial Saint's sacred weapon, it would be enough to kill all the Grandmasters. Only a first-grade Grandmaster had the power to resist the Azure Dragon's sacred weapon.

"go with!"

Su Yuqing said a word to the long sword in the wooden box, and the long sword suddenly flew out as if it had a spirit, chasing in the direction of Guang Chanzi's escape, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Su Yuqing seemed to have become extremely weak due to driving the Canglong Holy Soldier. Not only was his face pale, but a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He could hardly stand steadily and was almost shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.

Master Pu Du suddenly felt the oppression disappear. Seeing Su Yuqing so weak, he excitedly stood up and regained his master's demeanor. "Amitabha, benefactor, why bother? Even if the Azure Dragon Holy Soldier can kill the Imperial Master, you won't survive."

I will take your life."

Pu Du rushed in front of Su Yuqing and was about to strike her with his palm when he suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger coming from behind him. He turned around and clashed with the person behind him. Suddenly, with a loud bang, Pu Du was sent flying more than ten meters away and rolled on the ground several times before he regained his footing.

"What kind of thief dares to plot against me... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, a foot stomped on his head and rubbed it against the ground, leaving him speechless. He twisted his head half an inch with great effort and saw an old man appear in front of him.

This old man's aura is actually even stronger than Su Yuqing's.

Does Su Yuqing have a backup plan?
Master Pu Du was deeply saddened.

Master Huang stepped on Master Huang's head and turned to look at Su Yuqing, "Sister-in-law, kill him?"

Su Yuqing sat cross-legged on the ground, struggling to activate the Azure Dragon Sacred Weapon. Even distracted speech was extremely difficult. He didn't mind Master Huang's ridiculous name for him. "Crush his cultivation, capture him and interrogate him. We can also get a certificate."

"it is good."

Ah!
As Master Pudu's screams continued to emanate, his cultivation was wasted. He lay like a dead fish in a pool of blood, writhing and screaming.

Then, Master Huang defeated Jin Xiaotang again.

Su Yuqing glanced around: "Where is Xie An?"

Master Huang said, "General Xie is very concerned about the safety of my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, so he asked me to help. He went to chase Guang Chanzi himself."

Su Yuqing looked in the direction where Guang Chanzi disappeared with her beautiful eyes, and she felt an inexplicable sense of worry and emotion in her heart.

……

But Guang Chanzi, wearing his cassock, rushed out quickly for several miles, not daring to stop for a moment, and ran for his life.

"Damn Su Yuqing, he actually played the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waited behind. He tricked me. And his plan was exposed. Damn it!"

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we escape, we can immediately let the King of Huainan start the rebellion in advance. It's no problem. It's just a pity for Master Pudu. I'm afraid he will perish."

Guang Chanzi thought he was out of danger, but suddenly a piercing whistle erupted from behind him. The force, so powerful it shook the mountains, terrified him. He turned back as he ran, only to see a silver sword rumbling toward him.

Wherever it passed, trees were broken into pieces and rocks were turned into powder.

A silver sword, invincible, slashing through the mountains and rivers of the world.

"Canglong Holy Soldier!"

Guang Chanzi could no longer remain calm and ran madly, "This crazy woman even brought the Canglong Holy Soldiers!!"

Guang Chanzi was instantly terrified and ran like crazy, but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't shake off the silver sword. In a moment, the sword caught up with him, piercing through his robes and piercing his abdomen.

puff!
Guang Chanzi vomited blood and fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to stop. He got up and continued to run wildly.

"too frightening!"

"The Azure Dragon Holy Soldiers are too terrifying!"

Guang Chanzi had never been so frightened. Every two steps he took, a hole was punched into his body. Finally, the silver sword pinned him to a huge rock, unable to move.

The absolute crushing power made Guang Chanzi feel extremely desperate.

I had already run five or six miles, and the long sword seemed to have eyes.

How can one not feel despair?

Just then——

Da da da.

There was a sound of footsteps in the woods.

Xie An came out with the white fox.

Xie An was also filled with emotion. He had just witnessed the terrifying power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Soldier.

Unbelievable!
Horrible beyond cognition.

If a weapon can be like this, what would happen if the Martial Saint himself showed up?

Can't even think about it.

When Xie An was twenty meters away, he pushed the Mingyu Gong to its limit, then stopped and did not move any closer.

Although Guang Chanzi was nailed to the stone by the Canglong Holy Soldier, he might still be able to struggle before death. It would be a waste if he got close to it and hurt himself.

Xie An came this time to see the power of the Blue Dragon Saint Soldiers, and also to keep an eye on Guang Chanzi and prevent him from leaving. If the Blue Dragon Saint Soldiers couldn't inflict heavy damage on Guang Chanzi, Xie An could secretly follow him, find out where he was, and then send someone to deal with him...

Unexpectedly, this Canglong Holy Soldier is too powerful!

Guang Chanzi stared at Xie An intently, "Who are you?"

Xie An did not hide it, "Xie An."

"So it was you!" Guang Chanzi said viciously, "Jin Xiaotang approached you, and then you turned around and plotted against me! How despicable!"

After venting his anger, Guang Chanzi immediately thought of something and put on a kind smile, "So it's General Manager Xie. I know your deeds. You are a handsome man. No wonder you are favored by the princess. But I thought the princess was not good enough to you. You deserve a bigger stage."

Xie An realized that this guy wanted to alienate himself and Su Yuqing, and immediately became interested. "What do you mean?"

Guang Chanzi said, "Although Su Yuqing is incredibly talented and beautiful, it's a pity that she's a woman. This world is still dominated by men, what can a woman accomplish? If she were a man, she might be able to compete for the throne. But unfortunately... the benefits Su Yuqing can bring you are still too limited."

Xie An pretended to be very excited, "Why, can you promise me something even better?"

Seeing Xie An's excited expression, Guang Chanzi became even more excited: "Of course. I won't hide it from you. The King of Huainan and I have already reached an agreement. My Tianan Bang, the Five Old Demons, the King of Huainan, and Beiliang are enough to overthrow the foundation of Daqian. All you need is to help me out now. When the time comes, the King of Huainan will worship me as the Imperial Master. I can promise to make you the Prime Minister of the new dynasty. You will be the head of all officials, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Isn't that much better than following Su Yuqing?"

Xie An pretended his eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

Guang Chanzi grasped at this only lifeline fiercely, "Absolutely serious. I, Guang Chanzi, always keep my word. I'll write you a letter in a moment to finalize this matter."

Xie An said, "Then what should I do? This is the Canglong Holy Weapon, and I can't pull it out."

Guang Chanzi was delighted. "That's easy. You're Su Yuqing's trusted confidant. She'll definitely be very weak when she controls the Azure Dragon Sacred Weapon. When Su Yuqing comes to arrest me, I'll spit out the Bloodthirsty Powder. If she gets within three meters of me, she'll be poisoned by the Bloodthirsty Powder and won't be able to use her secret stash for a short period of time. You take this opportunity to kill her. Once she dies, the Azure Dragon Sacred Weapon will be ineffective."

Xie An cursed Guang Chanzi's ancestors in his heart, but said with great emotion: "In addition to the position of prime minister, I also want three things."

Guangchangzi knew that time was running out, so he agreed without thinking, "You say."

Xie An asked, "Do you know where the Seven Treasures Delicate Box, the most precious treasure of the Changsheng Sect, came from?"

"know."

"Then tell me everything." Although Xie An had received Jin Xiaotang's account, he still didn't dare to believe it all. What if that strange ancient city in Yunzhou was a hoax, tricking him into death? That would be more trouble than it's worth.

Guang Chanzi was also a top leader of the Changsheng Sect and must have known about these two treasures. If the information he provided matched Jin Xiaotang's, it would mean that Jin Xiaotang's information was credible.

Now Guang Chanzi regards Xie An as his only life-saving straw, and Xie An will not waste this opportunity.

Sure enough, Guang Chanzi told the story quickly.

Xie An listened carefully and found that the information matched Jin Xiaotang's.

"Second, what is the other great treasure of the Changsheng Sect?"

Guang Chanzi said, "I don't know the details about the Nine Palace Box. It was unearthed from the ancient city of Yunzhou together with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Box."

Nine Palace Box?
Xie An secretly took note of it, and then asked for some information about the ancient city of Yunzhou. After getting confirmation, Xie An asked the last question, "I need you to tell me the secrets of corpse refining and soul refining."

Whether it is the Nine Palace Box or the Seven Treasures Box, they are all extra gains of the Changsheng Sect.

However, the art of corpse refining and soul refining are the top magic arts that enabled the Changsheng Sect to become the state religion of the previous dynasty, and are the foundation of the religion.

Corpse Refining Technique can control others and monsters, achieving even better results than a Beast Tamer. And Soul Refining Technique... is perhaps even more mysterious.

Xie An was already a ninth-level martial artist, so naturally he wanted to take a peek.

It is possible that it is related to the method of longevity.
