Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

In the territory of the Great Zhou, this girl not only did not run away, but instead fought with me here!

If the Taibai map was in her possession, and this girl wanted to snatch it, Ji Xian could understand. But the problem was... the Taibai map was in her possession now.

Such a horrific battle broke out in the city. The Jiangdu garrison and the Tianhu Guards will arrive soon, and may even alarm the garrisons in other towns near Jiangdu.

This expressionless girl must be really stupid to dare to fight with me like this on the territory of the Great Zhou.

But Ji Xian felt that it was not that simple. From the girl's series of actions against the Jin family to her willingness to hurt herself to disguise herself, she was not a short-sighted person.

She must have some ulterior motive for doing this.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of alerting the local garrison and secret guards by fighting me like this?"

Ji Xian simply asked, since this girl would answer any question anyway.

But what Ji Xian didn't expect was that this time Cheng Ying actually said, "Don't be afraid."

"Uh, why aren't you afraid?"

"Because I'm going to kill you."

"......" Ji Xian was speechless for a while, then asked again: "Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because you are the Emperor of the Great Zhou."

"......"

Well, I've become an idiot!

Why do you want to kill yourself? Is there any need to ask?

He is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and she is the Butterfly Shadow Killer. This reason is sufficient enough!

I thought this girl would answer any question I asked her, and if I asked her about her current situation, she might give me a reason. But I didn't expect her answer to be that she wasn't afraid. If I continued asking, Ji Xian would look like an idiot.

Ji Xian felt humiliated.

Ji Xian, furious, raised her two swords, as if she was going to cut Cheng Ying into pieces.

But Cheng Ying said something that he couldn't understand: "Here it comes."

Ji Xian: “???”

Coming, what is coming?

Just when Ji Xian was wondering about this, his excellent perception immediately sensed another powerful spiritual power fluctuation in his lower left corner, as violent and powerful as thunder and fire!

Ji Xian was frightened and looked over quickly, and then saw a knife energy as red as a moon flying towards her.

Ji Xian tried to dodge quickly, but Cheng Ying seized the opportunity and rushed forward, raising the Feiying sword bow like a giant axe that split the world apart, and chopped it fiercely towards Ji Xian's face.

Ji Xian used her two swords to block, but the huge force knocked her to the ground like a meteorite falling from outer space.

There was a loud bang on the ground, and Ji Xian fell to the street, raising a lot of smoke and dust.

Cheng Ying swooped down from the air to launch an attack, and the other black-robed man who had just attacked also took action immediately. The two masters attacked from both sides and launched attacks from different angles.

But suddenly, amidst the smoke and dust of the street, a massive burst of sword energy pierced through the fumes, rapidly scattering in all directions. The powerful and numerous sword energies stirred up a storm of blades, directly forcing the two masters back.

In the dissipating smoke, Ji Xian tightly grasped the Sky Blood Princess and the Undead Sword and looked to her left and right.

On the rooftop of the street to his left, Cheng Ying landed lightly on a corner of the ruined roof. At the intersection to his right, a man wearing the same black robe as Cheng Ying stood in the middle of the road. Judging from his figure, he was a man, holding a handleless long sword as bright as a crimson moon.

When Ji Xian saw the black-robed man holding the red knife, he instantly recognized him as the Yang God who had fought with him on the boat!

At that time, Ji Xian had asked him if he was Cheng Longjiu, but this guy was like a mute, not saying a word from beginning to end. However, Ji Xian had more or less guessed his identity now, so there was no need to ask anymore.

He should not be Cheng Longjiu, but Cheng Longjiu's substitute, that is, the second leader of Dieying.

Eighteen years ago, before Cheng Longjiu broke through to the peerless realm, he had been in seclusion for cultivation. At that time, Cheng Longjiu, who had been active in the martial arts world, was his substitute.

Later, the substitute died at the hands of Ji Xian's father, Emperor Xingzong.

But what no one expected was that the dead substitute was actually refined into a puppet, a Yang God-level substitute puppet, so that Dieying still had the combat power of three Yang Gods in charge.

Ji Xian also heard from his father that it was Cheng Ying who turned the substitute into a puppet! Because this kind of thing and method was unimaginable and unheard of, Ji Xian felt it was fresh at the time and just happened to remember these things.

For a moment, Ji Xian was attacked from both sides by Cheng Ying and the Red Moon Puppet.

Ji Xian looked at Cheng Ying at this time and couldn't help asking her, "Is this your Dieying's substitute puppet?"

"Yes."

"Where on earth is this puppet hiding? Why didn't I sense its presence before?"

Ji Xian found it incredible that with her own perception, she was completely unable to detect the existence of this substitute puppet. Even if it had concealed its spiritual power, aura, and sound, the Jin Mansion was so small. The battle between her and Cheng Ying had already razed the Jin Mansion to the ground. There was no way this puppet could have hidden until now without being discovered.

Cheng Ying didn't keep the secret: "When I was pretending to be a member of the Jin family, I had the puppet test your strength and methods. I knew that your perception was very sharp. Therefore, I kept the puppet thirty kilometers away from you."

After hearing Cheng Ying say this, Ji Xian understood.

It turns out that this puppet was not hiding nearby, but came from thirty kilometers away. No wonder I couldn't sense it.

Wait, someone rushed here from thirty kilometers away...

Ji Xian was stunned because he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"You...you talked to me so much, it can't be for this."

"Yes, it will take time for the puppet to arrive."

"..."

Ji Xian wants to cry now, she really wants to cry.

No wonder, no wonder this expressionless, three-no girl answered every question, no wonder she talked so much. It turned out that she was actually stalling for time, waiting for this top-level Yangshen puppet to arrive.

At the same time, Ji Xian finally understood why this expressionless girl dared to openly challenge him in Jiangdu, on the territory of the Great Zhou. It turned out that she had backup. As long as the Red Moon Puppet arrived, it would be a two-on-one situation.

Ji Xian and Cheng Ying fought one-on-one, and the outcome was unclear.

And if Cheng Ying joins forces with the puppet, the one who will die will definitely be Ji Xian!

Originally, I thought this expressionless girl was a fool who would answer every question, but now Ji Xian finally understood that she was not stupid, and I was the biggest fool!!!

Facial paralysis girl, you plotted against me! ! ! !

2.23 The Emperor's aunt comes to the rescue

Ji Xian, a prince from birth, was taught by his elders from a young age. These elders were all top-tier Yang Gods or even supremely powerful beings in the world, and their starting points were beyond the reach of all other practitioners in the world.

He was gifted, learning everything quickly and advancing in cultivation far beyond his peers. He had already reached the Yang Shen realm, a realm countless people would spend their entire lives trying to reach, at the age of fifteen.

It is normal for someone with such talent and genius to feel a little proud, and Ji Xian is indeed quite narcissistic at times.

But now, he just feels like a fool, a big fool!!!

The expressionless woman before him was countless times smarter than him. Her plan was one thing after another, and Ji Xian had completely fallen into her trap. As a result, he, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, was surrounded in Jiangdu, on his own territory!

What to do, what to do now!

Ji Xian looked left and right, and saw that Cheng Ying and the Red Moon Puppet didn't waste any time and directly launched a siege on him, attacking him with weapons at the same time!

Ji Xian had no choice but to fight first.

But once they clashed, Ji Xian was at a disadvantage, because neither Cheng Ying nor Hong Yue's stand-in was inferior to him in strength. Now that the two of them had joined forces to outnumber the weak, Ji Xian was of course no match.

"You are bullying the minority with your numbers, showing no respect for martial ethics!"

Ji Xian took the time to shout while dodging.

Cheng Ying didn't waste any more words with Ji Xian. He just used the Feiying sword bow to start shooting continuously. Each arrow flew towards Ji Xian with the force of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting.

Ji Xian, holding the Sky Blood Sword and the Dead Soul Sword, burst out with spiritual power and chopped directly, breaking Cheng Ying's flying arrow, but it also triggered a series of spiritual power explosions, which blew Ji Xian back.

Ji Xian stepped back with his feet close to the ground, leaving deep marks on the ground. Before he could stop, the Red Moon Puppet rushed in front of him with a knife. The ominous moonlight turned into a knife aura and slashed at Ji Xian fiercely.

'Bang bang bang bang! '

Ji Xian swung the Undead Sword, which kept colliding with the Red Moon Sword.

Cheng Ying flew into the sky, drew his bow, and prepared to shoot another arrow.

Ji Xian could sense the terrifying spiritual power accumulating, but it was difficult to find an opening to interrupt her. The Red Moon Puppet in front of him was now attacking him relentlessly, swinging the ominous Red Moon Blade, and the attack surged towards Ji Xian like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms, leaving almost no blind spots for attack.

We can’t do this, we must use violence to break the deadlock!

Ji Xian waved the Sky Blood Princess and unleashed the blood-colored Thirty-Six Swords. The sword light was soaring into the sky, and with just one sword, she broke through the Red Moon Puppet's thousands of swords that were like a rain of pear blossoms.

"break!"

Ji Xiantian, the Blood Princess, thrust forward, and the red sword energy shone like the sunlight at dawn, instantly repelling the puppet.

Ji Xian successfully created a gap and immediately attacked Cheng Ying in the air with the Undead Sword. The sword energy flew out and even attracted a large number of wind blades, like a storm.

But Cheng Ying continued to draw the bow and accumulate power, without even trying to dodge.

When Ji Xian's sword energy was about to hit, several talismans suddenly flew out from Cheng Ying's black windbreaker and turned into a barrier in front of him. Its power was as magnificent as the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, blocking Ji Xian's attack!

Cheng Ying, in the night sky, finally succeeded in shooting the arrow. The spiritual arrow was brighter than the moonlight, yet more dazzling than the sun, directly illuminating the entire Jiangdu.

On the ground, the puppet, after being forced back by Ji Xian, tightly grasped the Red Moon Blade, hastily gathering strength and slashing out. Although the blade's energy could not compare to Cheng Ying's spiritual arrows, its power should not be underestimated.

In the sky and on the ground, the two top Yang Gods launched a joint siege.

Ji Xian couldn't hide either, because if he dodged, the large towns and people behind him would die under the joint attack of the two Yang Gods.

"Fight!"

Just when Ji Xian had concentrated all her spiritual power on the Sky Blood Princess and the Death Sword, ready to fight to the death...

Suddenly, a large number of formations and talismans appeared in the sky, emitting an icy blue light. When Cheng Ying's spiritual arrow flew into the talisman formation, all the formations and talismans suddenly exploded, releasing a freezing cold air. The remaining power alone instantly froze all the towns and houses on the ground into ice.

The moonlight arrow, which was brighter than the sun, was frozen into ice in mid-air.

A look of surprise appeared on Cheng Ying's calm face. She immediately looked towards the source of the spiritual power fluctuation, and then saw a blue sword energy wrapped in thunder flying towards her. She immediately used the talisman barrier to resist it.

As for the Red Moon Puppet's sword energy, Ji Xian cut it head-on.

After breaking the puppet's sword energy, Ji Xian immediately looked towards a new spiritual power fluctuation that appeared in the distance. He was extremely familiar with that fluctuation and knew who it came from without even looking.

In the sight of Ji Xian and Cheng Ying, there was a graceful figure in white clothes in the distance, standing on a still intact high-rise building with her back to the bright moon, holding a pitch-black sword in her hand, emitting a blue light.

She is extremely beautiful, with long hair fluttering in the wind.

"Falling snow!" Ji Xian shouted.

"Xutian Sword." Cheng Ying had never met Su Luoxue, but he had met her sister Su Luohua during the Renaissance War. The Xutian Sword was actually Su Luohua's weapon, so Cheng Ying guessed Su Luoxue's identity through the sword: "You are Su Luoxue, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Su Luoxue ignored Cheng Ying and looked at Ji Xian instead. Her eyes were filled with anger, as if they were about to burst into flames.

Ji Xian had excellent perception. He could see Su Luoxue's angry eyes and fierce murderous intent from a long distance away. For a moment, he was so scared that he started shaking.

Su Luoxue jumped at this moment and landed next to Ji Xian with her lightness skills.

"Falling, falling snow, hahaha."

Ji Xian smiled awkwardly.

Su Luoxue stared at him for a long time. She was originally very angry, and her eyes were sharp and angry. But in the end, she sighed and said to Ji Xian softly, "How are you? Are you okay?"

No matter what happens or what situation she is in, Su Luoxue's first consideration is Ji Xian's safety.

"No, it's okay. That's how you got here."

"We traced your situation on the passenger ship along the waterway, and then found Jiangdu." Su Luoxue briefly explained, then looked at Cheng Ying and the puppet: "We'll talk about the rest later, let's deal with them first."

"Yeah, that's right." Ji Xian nodded, then looked at Cheng Ying and the puppet, raised her sword and pointed it at them with a smile: "It's two against two now, come on if you want to continue fighting!"

In terms of strength, the four Yang Gods present were all on par with each other, and no one could say who was stronger than the other. However, this was Jiangdu, the home turf of the Great Zhou. If a fight really broke out, Cheng Ying would not be able to gain any advantage.

Previously, Cheng Ying relied on puppets to help him, and he had the upper hand in the home court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But now that Su Luoxue had arrived, the situation became two against two, and this advantage was gone.

On the other hand, Ji Xian and Su Luoxue now have the support of the local garrison in Jiangdu and have no worries at all.

Both Ji Xian and Su Luoxue actually thought that Cheng Ying would find a way to retreat.

But this is not the case.

Cheng Ying said nothing, and even though he had lost his advantage, he still had that expressionless face.

She slowly raised the Feiying Sword Bow, and then attacked the two of them together with the puppet!

"Well done!"

Ji Xian shouted, then rushed forward with Su Luoxue.
