Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

It was as if the entire world consisted of only this one knife.

The eighty-one moves of the sword technique were ultimately reduced to a single move, the blade's light illuminating the entire world.

The black dragon head was indeed powerful, but it was still no match for this long sword.

The two were locked in a stalemate for a moment, and then the black dragon head quickly dissipated.

Seeing this, Li Changqing had no choice but to turn the boat upside down.

The instant he was airborne, the speedboat beneath his feet was split in two.

Immediately following was the roar of an explosion.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

"How could this be?"

"He is the Great Sword Immortal of the Great Freedom Realm, Situ Jue."

"A sword immortal at the Great Free and Unfettered Realm actually dares to bully a Grandmaster. These people from Qi have no shame whatsoever."

"They're nothing but a bunch of shameless beasts!"

The soldiers of the Great Zhou were indignant on the surface, but they were also extremely worried in their hearts.

They simply couldn't imagine how to resolve the current situation.

Normally, beings at the Great Freedom Realm shouldn't participate in major battles unless they are specially dispatched.

On the one hand, their destructive power is too great, and when they attack the enemy, they may also implicate their own people.

On the other hand, both sides have powerful experts at the Great Freedom Realm. Apart from their own battles, it's generally assumed that they don't participate in ordinary battles.

The incident in Beimo City was an extremely special case.

That was a war that nearly destroyed the country.

Even experts at the Supreme Realm have participated.

A near-supreme ruler, personally in command.

Those who reach the Great Freedom Realm naturally don't attract as much attention.

The war between the Great Zhou and the State of Qi had already begun when the supreme rulers of both sides clashed, thus establishing a tacit understanding.

The fact that the State of Qi sent Da Xiaoyao to participate in the war was truly unruly.

Of course, their actions weren't entirely unreasonable. After all, the Great Zhou also had a Grandmaster wielding an unparalleled divine weapon, making him virtually invincible on the battlefield.

Even powerful experts in the Free and Unfettered Realm could only be slaughtered when facing him.

If the State of Qi does not want to surrender easily, it will inevitably have to take corresponding countermeasures. The Sword Immortal Situ Jue is undoubtedly the target of these countermeasures.

The small boat was blown away, and the fear in Situ Jue's heart seemed to disappear with it.

"Was it just my imagination? Perhaps it's because the stronger one is, the more information about heaven and earth one senses, making it inevitable to misjudge."

Once he made up his mind, Situ Jue's thoughts changed.

"These warships have dominated the Huanglong River for a century, and you dare to destroy them? You deserve to die!"

Their crown prince of Qi has been captured by the enemy.

Although few people know about this, it doesn't mean that no one knows.

Especially Situ Jue.

The reason he was here was because he was secretly dispatched by the royal family.

The patriarch of the Qi royal family was unable to make a public appearance.

It goes without saying that the power displayed by that supreme regent had already made the patriarch of the Qi Kingdom feel threatened.

That's why it's inconvenient for him to come forward.

However, his subordinates were capable; although Situ Jue was not the most outstanding among those below the Supreme Being.

But if you remove the few near-supreme beings, just considering Da Xiaoyao of Qi, he should be ranked in the top two.

In other words, he might even rank among the top ten in the entire Qi state.

He personally took action against a Grandmaster wielding an unparalleled divine weapon; it was almost as if he could easily defeat him.

In the words of the Qi royal family patriarch, other hostages might not be able to bring their crown prince back.

Most of the few that could be exchanged were in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Let alone Situ Jue, even if the patriarch of the Qi royal family came in person, he probably wouldn't get the slightest benefit.

Only Nangong Qiushui is the most suitable.

He had just made a great contribution and was being heavily publicized by the newspapers of Da Zhou.

Although his status was not high, especially compared to someone like the Crown Prince, he was far inferior.

But he's famous enough!

He was once again a great hero and meritorious official who had just recovered lost territory.

"Even for the sake of face, the Great Zhou will definitely replace him."

The eyes of the Qi royal ancestor shone with wisdom.

Just like Situ Jue at this point, he had clearly already taken Li Changqing hostage.

Seeing Li Changqing flying in mid-air, he flew forward and delivered another slash.

This strike looked ordinary, but no matter how Li Changqing tried to dodge it, he couldn't use his Grandmaster level to avoid it.

"Damn it!"

The difference between the Grandmaster and the Great Free Spirit realm is too great.

Li Changqing is as formidable as a ninth-dan Go master.

Even if he gives up three or four stones, he can still dominate professional players of average skill.

But if you want to give up eighteen sons, that won't work.

You've given them too many pieces; they've already filled the entire board.

No matter how Li Changqing plays, he can't possibly win.

Just like now, facing that dazzling blade of light, Li Changqing could only hold onto the Peerless Overlord Spear and tough it out.

"boom!"

The black light crumbled upon contact, and Li Changqing was sent flying backward.

His body sank into the Huanglong River, creating a huge splash.

"General Nangong!"

"We can't let that scoundrel Situ continue to run rampant."

"Prepare to fire the siege crossbows, prepare to fire the catapults."

"Support General Nangong!!!"

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had bloodshot eyes at this moment.

They quickly made arrangements to prepare for the battle against the formidable enemy.

However, before they could act, another huge splash of water rose up in the water.

A figure emerged from the splash.

"It's General Nangong!"

"He's alright."

The soldiers of the Great Zhou were both surprised and delighted.

The soldiers of Qi, on the other hand, instinctively widened their eyes, their eyes filled with resentment.

Why isn't that damned scoundrel, that scoundrel who destroyed the ship, dead yet?

He should have died long ago.

Just as they were about to curse, Nangong Jue finally understood why he was worried.

He thought it was his imagination, but he never expected that this scene would actually happen before his eyes.

The figure that emerged from the water had undergone a dramatic change in its aura.

He took a crucial step and began to complete his martial arts transformation.

"The Realm of Freedom! You actually broke through to the next level during battle?"

Seeing the other party's extremely surprised expression, Li Changqing sneered. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

There is an insurmountable gap between a Grandmaster and a Free Spirit, which cannot be bridged even with the addition of a peerless divine weapon.

But the Free and Unfettered Realm is different.

Although he couldn't materialize his true energy like Da Xiaoyao, his true energy had essentially merged with heaven and earth.

He himself became a part of heaven and earth.

True essence is inexhaustible, and thoughts are clear and unobstructed.

Li Changqing had previously fought against Lu Chuan, the Great Free and Unfettered Golden Light Sword Immortal, using his cultivation level at the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Now he has not only raised his strength to the Free and Unfettered Realm, but also wields an unparalleled divine weapon.

To put it bluntly, the situation between the two sides has changed.
