Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Lu Wu's eyes were sinister, and he coldly shouted: "Even if he is a master of the upper five realms, no matter how strong his physique is, he still needs to breathe and expend energy!"

One hundred men in a group, taking turns charging relentlessly, forcing him to give no chance to catch his breath. The moment his aura dissipates and his armor breaks, they'll chop him to pieces on the spot!

"First team, one hundred men, charge!"

"Understood!" A hundred Imperial Guards charged toward the altar with their spears drawn.

"Swimming, Dragon, Emerging, from, the Sea—" A circle of invisible sword energy suddenly exploded around Xie Xiaoyi.

Bang!

The shockwave swept out, sending a hundred armored soldiers flying through the air, crashing to their sides, their spears breaking into several pieces.

"Second team, move up!"

Another hundred people rushed out, and the result was exactly the same: the sword energy erupted again, and another group was blown away.

"The third team..."

"The fourth team..."

"The fifth team..."

Wave after wave, a hundred after a hundred, they attacked in turn.

No matter how many people went up, as soon as they got within three zhang of the altar, they were forcefully pushed back by Xie Xiaoyi's violent sword energy.

In a short while, the injured and disabled people on the ground had formed a wall of flesh around Xie Xiaoyi.

Lu Wushuang was deeply shocked—

With such relentless attacks and constant counterattacks, there wasn't even a moment for this person to catch his breath. How did he manage to gather his energy?

What kind of monster is this person?!

Little did he know that Xie Xiaoyi had mastered the Myriad Streams Returning to the Source Heart Method, allowing all the major acupoints and pores on his body to absorb Qi, so he didn't need to breathe like an ordinary person.

Not to mention that the dragon essence, phoenix blood, qilin marrow, tortoise spirit and ancestral dragon energy in his body have long been integrated into one, and his true energy is inexhaustible.

He didn't even have to use his full strength to deal with the group of people in front of him; he only needed to use the power of the tortoise spirit to repel them all.

There's nothing we can do!

Lu Wushuang gritted her teeth and ordered in a harsh voice, "Drag all the wounded away! Clear the area and continue!"

Xie Xiaoyi acted as if he hadn't heard anything about it.

He focused all his attention on suppressing the two raging forces within his body.

The Ancestral Dragon's True Qi surged wildly like a tidal wave, while the Heaven-Opening Sword Qi was as sharp as a blade; the two forces clashed within his meridians.

He had no time to retaliate; he was simply using his physical strength and armor to fight against the Imperial Guards.

"Behave yourself!" Xie Xiaoyi roared inwardly, and a vision of illusion appeared in his mind once again.

Deep within his consciousness, the restless Heaven-Opening Sword slowly coalesced into a gigantic figure the size of a small mountain.

Like a phantom, ethereal sword spirit.

The sword spirit was formed entirely from fierce sword energy, arrogant and unruly, as if it were the only one who mattered in the world.

Xie Xiaoyi laughed in fury: "Of the thirty thousand divine swords in the world, none can withstand my might."

"Break it for me—"

The next instant, he unleashed his full power—

Dragon essence, phoenix blood, unicorn marrow, tortoise spirit, and ancestral dragon true energy—five forces erupted simultaneously, sweeping across the entire consciousness space!

The Qilin appeared, and with a single stomp of its giant hoof, it firmly suppressed the sword soul's lower body, making it unable to move an inch.

A true dragon soared into the sky, its scales and claws flying, its massive body coiling around and binding the sword spirit's arms.

The Xuan Turtle, with its shell as thick as a mountain, suppressed the sword energy surrounding the sword spirit, preventing it from leaking out.

Phoenix blood burned the sky, transforming into raging flames that scorched the sword spirit's body.

Meanwhile, the supreme ancestral dragon energy manifested as the image of a true dragon in the void, its eyes opening to the sun and moon, its mouth swallowing the universe.

With a roar to the sky, it suddenly swooped down, its massive jaws snapping shut on the sword spirit's throat!

boom--!

The sword spirit shattered on the spot, transforming back into the purest and most violent Heaven-Opening Sword Qi, which Xie Xiaoyi forcefully swallowed into his body!

The illusion shattered.

Xie Xiaoyi suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand still tightly gripping the Heaven-Opening Sword.

This time, it's not about suppression, but about control.

"rise--!"

The Heaven-Opening Sword was forcibly pulled out!

A sword aura that stretched across the heavens and earth shot straight into the sky, illuminating most of the Forbidden City.

The sword energy that opened the heavens soared ninety thousand miles into the sky!

......

Inside the Imperial Study in the Zichen Palace.

Yu Shinan was standing beside Wang Jiling when he suddenly felt a vast and powerful pressure descend upon the world, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

His face changed drastically; he was so terrified that he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty!...It's too late! Our dynasty's national treasure, the Heaven-Opening Sword, seems to have already appeared!"

Wang Jiling's body suddenly stopped—

Is it now in the present world?

Is it that easy?

Back then, even the eldest prince, Wang Shaobo, couldn't pull out an inch of that Heaven-Opening Sword!

He once said that the Heaven-Opening Sword weighed 108 jin, but the weight of that sword energy that suppressed heaven and earth was more than ten million jin.

Because he couldn't pull out the sword, his spirit was broken, so in a fit of anger he abandoned the sword and practiced with the saber, never touching a sword again.

now......

Someone actually drew out the national treasure weapon?

.......

The number one manor in the world, the Star Gazing Tower.

The Calculator Xie Daoyun was playing chess alone, holding a black piece between his fingers, hesitating to place it.

Suddenly, a vast sword aura that spanned the heavens and the earth rose into the sky from the direction of the Forbidden City, piercing straight through the Milky Way!

His finger suddenly paused, and the chess piece landed lightly on the board with a "thud," causing all the chess pieces on the board to jump.

Looking towards the capital, he clapped his hands and chuckled, "The way of the sword has led to its ultimate conclusion; Xie Mo has finally drawn that Heaven-Opening Sword!"

At that moment, there was a soft creak on the stairs, and Situ Rui slowly stepped into the building, bowing respectfully.

"Master! Although summer is approaching, the night wind on the mountaintop is cold. Please close the windows!"

Xie Daoyun gazed at the surging starry sky and clouds outside the window and slowly shook his head:

"No need! The winds of this world never stop blowing; they cannot be stopped, nor should they be."

Situ Rui was taken aback: "Master..."

Xie Daoyun tapped the chessboard lightly with his fingers and began to speak eloquently:

"There are those in the world who are born to hold the reins, who are blessed with destiny and have the opportunity to stir up the winds and clouds."

These people, however, face a difficult and thorny path in their early years, all for the sake of one day soaring to great heights and reaching for the heavens.

......

In the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Xie Xiaoyi, holding the Heaven-Opening Sword, stood panting heavily atop the altar.

The power of the five auspicious beasts surrounded him, and the aura of the ancestral dragon merged with the supreme sword intent.

He lowered his head, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the crowd below, who were already frozen in place, terrified by the soaring sword energy.

"Stop daydreaming, it's my turn now."

"Stop your arrogance, you fiend!" Lü Wushuang snapped out of his daze, brandishing his halberd. "Everyone, attack together and take the sword from his hand! Otherwise, no one can bear the consequences of His Majesty's punishment!"

The five guards responded and each led a hundred armored men, surging towards the altar like five iron tides!

Xie Xiaoyi calmed his breathing, and pointed the Heaven-Opening Hand at the crowd:

"Within the illusion of my sea of ​​consciousness, I comprehended four auspicious beast sword energies. Today, I will use you as a sacrifice for my first sword—"

The Heaven-Opening Sword crashed down with a deafening roar!

A surge of sword energy erupted from the tip of the sword, transforming into a gigantic divine phoenix in mid-air, its wings outstretched, soaring through the sky!

The divine phoenix swooped down, with just one pounce, one flap, and one howl!

boom--!!

The five guards and hundreds of armored soldiers were instantly blown away by the unparalleled sword energy, spitting out blood as they flew to the ground.
