Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 195 One man draws his sword, and ten thousand armies bow down.
"Senior Nan Gong, when was the last time a Grandmaster went all out?"

"A Grandmaster is using all his strength..."

"I can't remember exactly when it happened, but I do remember that it was a grandmaster from the State of Wei who made the move. He treated the 300,000 Qin soldiers as nothing on the battlefield. In that battle, he effortlessly killed the Qin general and then left gracefully. The morale of the Qin army was directly shattered, and they had no choice but to retreat."

On the stone bridge in Shouying City, Chu Nan Gong's words carried a hint of reminiscence; the incident from back then seemed to have had a great impact on him.

"After that battle, all countries listed the Grandmaster's combat power as taboo and would not provoke them unless necessary, because the most terrifying aspect of a Grandmaster is not on the battlefield, but in assassination."

At this point, Chu Nan Gong couldn't help but look towards Chang'an Street again.

Chang'an means long-term peace and stability. This was the expectation of many ministers in the court for the current state of Chu, as well as the expectation of the people of Shouying City. Therefore, the main street was named Chang'an.

Unfortunately, this street has never seemed to be quiet. Whether it was the previous turmoil, the current major battle, or the passing armies, they all walked through this street.

"Om!!"

The boy didn't stop, and the peach wood sword on his back automatically unsheathed itself three inches, its crimson sword energy rippling outwards. The arrows that had been hovering in mid-air suddenly changed direction, transforming into a sky full of shooting stars and shooting back in the horrified gazes of the Imperial Guards.

"retreat!"

A burly man with a thick beard suddenly roared, and the front-line shield formation hastily erected itself.

The sound of arrows striking iron shields was like a sudden rainstorm hitting tiles, and dozens of imperial guards were thrown over by the shockwave.

One man against a thousand.

What should have been a one-sided situation has now become a different kind of one-sided situation.

Looking at the young man before them, whose identity was unclear—whether human or immortal—the imperial guards stood rooted to the spot, too hasty to dare cross the line.

Behind the window of a street-side restaurant, the wine bottle in the hand of the well-dressed man shattered with a crash.

With a lingering trace of panic in his eyes, he plopped down on the ground.

The strange move of that boy just now covered half of Chang'an Street, with a wide range of impact. Even he, who was in the restaurant, was completely frozen in place.

The despair of being stripped of almost everything still prevents him from fully calming down. And the ability to reverse thousands of arrows with a flick of his finger—how could such a power be associated with a mortal?

"What kind of monster is this??"

The man braced himself on his knees with both hands, trying several times to stand up but failing. Perhaps at this moment, he no longer had the courage to face the boy.

"Step aside!"

The boy's words rang out again, and the peach wood sword hanging above his head hummed and trembled, a sharp intent condensing within it.

The man standing at the front of the line turned pale and then flushed upon hearing the boy's words, but he remained silent, now caught in a dilemma.

This boy is too dangerous. He is even certain that the people behind him cannot stop the other's advance. If the other chooses to break through from another direction, he will definitely turn a blind eye and let the other leave.

But the other party didn't do that; instead, they launched a direct confrontation. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice.

"Leave Nian Duan behind, and I'll let you go!"

This is their bottom line. In any case, they have no choice but to take away the person who was specifically requested to see by name in the palace.

The boy remained unmoved.

His gaze swept over them from afar, seemingly traversing the hundreds of meters and seeing into their hearts a sense of unease and fear.

The boy exhaled slowly, and two white dragons spewed from his nostrils. Then, he inhaled, and everyone felt their hearts skip a beat. A very strange feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Everything seems to have changed, yet nothing has changed.

Only a very few people guessed some of it, but they were already speechless with shock at what the boy had done.

"Is this the unity of man and nature?"

On the stone bridge, Yan Fei's eyebrows twitched twice. This kind of technique, which allows one to instantly merge with the world, requires an extremely high level of mental cultivation. One's mental cultivation must at least reach the state of oneness with heaven and earth to be able to perform it.

"It's about blending in with the world!!"

Chu Nan Gong stroked his beard and sighed. He never expected that this supreme Taoist mental technique would be used in such a way.

Generally speaking, "harmonizing with the world" refers to an individual aligning with the rhythm of heaven and earth, then integrating into the universe through the unity of heaven and man, and comprehending the great principles of heaven and earth.

However, the method used by the young man in front of him was completely different from the "harmony with the world" recorded by the Taoist Tianzong. The other party forcibly changed the pulse of heaven and earth by using the rhythm of his breathing, making heaven and earth resonate with him and make heaven and earth work for him. In his opinion, this state of unity with heaven and man could no longer be considered unity with heaven and man. It was more like heaven and earth obeying his command.

The Taoist school has countless methods, encompassing the changes of the heavens, transforming me into a king.

Within my domain, I am everything, I am the king.

Such a domineering method is generally extremely difficult to learn and practice, but this young man used it so smoothly. This amazing scene silenced both those who knew and those who didn't.

"I understand now, so that's how it is!!"

Suddenly, Chu Nan Gong seemed to remember something, his hand paused, and then his gaze returned to Chang'an Street.

"What do you mean by that, Master Nan?"

Yan Fei's aura fluctuated, with a dragon-like energy swirling around her. Faced with this, this Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School was even prepared to make a move.

Of course, whether her actions were intended to kill or save someone is something only she herself knows.

"You should have felt the commotion they just made. With each breath, they forced the pulse of heaven and earth to resonate with their own, thus achieving a wondrous state of oneness with the universe!"

"Is this kind of harmony between man and nature the same harmony between man and nature that we pursue? Even the ultimate harmony between man and nature that your Yin-Yang School pursues is absolutely not this domineering!"

"It's more like it's the only one that reigns supreme in the heavens and the earth; when I speak, the whole world must obey my commands!"

Yan Fei remained silent. She naturally shared this feeling, but she found it too terrifying. The idea of ​​human strength shaking the heavens seemed impossible to her.

Now that Chu Nan Gong had laid bare her situation, she could only remain silent, unsure of what to say.

"There is only one such technique that I can think of."

Chu Nan Gong stroked his beard, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his murky eyes.

"This is what caused the world to lose its color in the Heavenly Sect."

"An absolute domain controlled by an individual's internal energy, within which one can control everything, including sound, movement, and even light."

"If I am not mistaken, Qingxu's move should have borrowed the essence of the colorless world and then used the technique of blending with the world to force himself into the wonderful state of unity between man and nature."

He's about to make his move.

As soon as he finished speaking, the peach wood sword hovering above Xiu Yuan's head seemed to be guided by something, turning in mid-air before flying back into its sheath. The young man reached out and pulled the sheath off his back, holding it in his hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the imperial guards blocking his path.

His voice sounded somewhat ethereal, and then he spoke again: "No one will be left behind!"

The burly man's forehead veins bulged, as if he were under immense pressure. Hearing the boy's words, he angrily retorted, "The State of Chu has its own rules. You cannot take her away!!"

Behind the boy were two women, an older woman and a younger girl.

Hearing the man's words, the woman's eyes showed a hint of pity. She was about to speak when the young man said, "No matter how great the rules of Chu are, they are not greater than the sword in my hand!"

As the boy's voice fell to the ground, the peach wood sword in his hand silently flicked out half an inch, and an indescribable terrifying pressure descended from the sky. The horses blocking his way seemed to sense some terror and knelt down in unison.

Next came the soldiers, who, even with their teeth clenched to the bone, could not stop themselves from kneeling down. This was the case without exception; even the commanders who had reached the Innate Realm were unwilling to lower their heads.

One man draws his sword, and ten thousand soldiers bow down.

Standing behind the young man, Duanmu Rong's eyes were filled with excitement. There were many legends in the martial arts world, but she had never heard of this scene before.

A surge of energy erupted, the sun shone brightly, and an incomparably chilling killing intent swept across the land like a ravenous wolf descending upon the world.

The first sage of Chu, who had always remained unmoved by the eight winds, suddenly raised his head, and in the next moment, his figure flashed and he appeared directly on Chang'an Street.

"Young friend Qingxu, please show mercy."

At the end of Chang'an Street, a short figure suddenly appeared, with a hunched back, white hair and beard, and a cane in his hand. He looked old and frail, but no one dared to underestimate him, for he was the first sage of Chu and a grandmaster.

"They're blocking my way."

The young man stood still, his gaze as calm as ever. Even when facing the suddenly appearing first sage of Chu, he remained unchanged.

After a while, the young man spoke softly.

"In their words, that's a capital offense!"

The peach wood sword in his hand leaped out half an inch again, and an extremely chilling killing intent surged out wildly as if a floodgate had been opened.

Chu Nan Gong's expression changed.

He seemed not to have expected that the young man before him would possess such a heavy killing intent, like a demon who had walked out of purgatory.

"They were just doing their job."

Chu Nan Gong shook his head. That's how things are in this world. Many times, there is no right or wrong in a matter. It's just that different perspectives lead to different answers.

The Imperial Guards stopped the boy from leaving because the person he was taking away was the one Wang Ling was chasing. They had no choice but to stop him, even though they might know the right and wrong of the situation.

As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.

"Master Qingxu"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Xiu Yuan. Xiu Yuan sighed inwardly. This master from a family of doctors was, after all, compassionate.

"Let's go!"

The boy said nothing more and walked towards the Imperial Guards first. Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong were taken aback, then followed closely behind.

The crowd parted automatically to make way, and the three walked past the Imperial Guards. This time, no one dared to stop them.

Chu Nan Gong stood there, watching the boy's retreating figure, and sighed softly.

"A prodigy, a Taoist master"

Today, a young man calmly escaped from the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops; today, some people learned that the Taoist Heavenly Sect has a young Grandmaster; today, someone will become famous throughout the world.

Today, two women have appeared in the eyes of the world in a different way. In a place called Jinghu Medical Manor, there is a master of medicine known as the Immortal Physician, who is compassionate.

On the city wall, Yan Lingji watched as Xiu Yuan led Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong away from Chang'an Street, her eyes filled with envy.

Although she hadn't expected this result, she felt it wasn't so bad.

"Famous throughout the martial arts world, no, famous throughout the world!"

Perhaps after today, the martial world will know the extraordinary feat of Shouying City today: a young man bravely faced an army of thousands and left unscathed.

Within the military camp, the Tenglong Legion swiftly suppressed the unrest that had arisen in other legions, especially the Silver Moon Legion.

Only then did the three legions realize why the Tenglong Legion was called the ace of Chu. When Xiang Liang received the news that Qingxu had appeared and calmly left with Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Those bastards, they're in for it this time!"

Xiang Yan sent someone to give the order mainly because he was afraid that after the Imperial Guards clashed with Xiu Yuan, they would suffer heavy losses and the other three major legions would take the opportunity to cause trouble. So he thought of taking precautions.

However, judging from the current situation, this guess cannot be said to be completely wrong, at least there are no major problems in the military camp.

At the General's Mansion, Xiang Yan appeared under the pavilion where he had first met Xiu Yuan. Looking at the lake, the General of Chu gently shook his head.

Has his skill level reached this point?

He was a master of military strategy and his combat strength was not weak. Although he was not present at the battle on Chang'an Street, he could still feel the aura emanating from his opponent.

Even when Chu Nan Gong finally appeared, he still managed to capture him.

Recalling that scene from that day, Xiang Yan pointed into the distance, and his inner force surged out, causing a sudden explosion on the lake's surface. Then, the general couldn't help but shake his head, realizing that he could never have done what that young man had done.

"Truly, there are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens!"

On the stone bridge, Yan Fei looked in the direction of the city gate, her feelings were very complicated. This young man who would eventually become famous in the martial arts world would probably become the focus of attention for various sects and factions after today.

Can fate truly be changed?

She wasn't sure what the boy meant by those words, but she always felt there was something else behind them.

Do the stars tell them the answer?
Recalling those words, Yan Fei suddenly smiled. He was an interesting young man, and perhaps the world in the future wouldn't be so boring.

"Senior brother, where are we going?"

Let's go to Mirror Lake!

"Jinghu Medical Clinic??"
