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

Ji Xian retreated from the violent explosion and watched the raging fire and thick smoke with clenched teeth.

The thick smoke slowly dissipated, and Cheng Longjiu's figure emerged from it...

But Ji Xian only saw talismans around Cheng Longjiu, hundreds and thousands of them!

Hundreds of talismans formed in an instant, completely enveloping Cheng Longjiu like a zongzi. Ji Xian's attack with the Death Sword just now was completely cut into these talisman shields!

Ji Xian's attack has no blind spots, but Cheng Longjiu's defense also has no blind spots.

These talismans began to dissipate like fallen leaves, revealing Cheng Longjiu's ferocious and cold face: "Your attack is over, it's my turn..."

Before Cheng Longjiu could finish his words, Su Luoxue, who had been standing behind him, also moved!

Hundreds of ice-blue formations suddenly appeared in the newly formed tomb hall, covering the entire tomb hall layer by layer. Then all the formations released spiritual light, not attacking Cheng Longjiu, but flying towards Su Luoxue behind Cheng Longjiu.

All these lights gathered on the Xutian Sword!

The light seemed to be pulling and pushing. Su Luoxue held the sword tightly in her hand and rushed towards Cheng Long Jiupi with the blessing of endless array light. The sword brought endless light.

Cheng Longjiu's expression changed at this moment, and he became very surprised: "This weapon is..."

The Xutian Sword was originally Su Luohua's weapon, and Cheng Longjiu knew this.

But during the War of Renaissance, Su Luohua did not show any special effects when holding this magic weapon. It just felt like a very hard and sharp magic weapon.

But now, in Su Luoxue's hands, this weapon showed a completely different side!

Cheng Longjiu could sense vitality from this sword, endless vitality. It wasn't just some ordinary spiritual weapon, but a true source of life force that felt like a living thing!

To put it more exaggeratedly, Cheng Longjiu felt that this weapon was a living thing, a living being!

At this moment, Cheng Longjiu saw Su Luoxue attacking him. The spiritual vitality released by the endless light was as if tens of millions of people were swinging their swords together with Su Luoxue!

Cheng Longjiu had to say that he was truly eye-opening.

This kind of weapon and this kind of moves were something Cheng Longjiu had never heard of or seen before. There might have been no such weapons or moves in history.

"It's awesome."

However, Cheng Longjiu's tone was very understated.

When the sword shining with the light of life was slashed down, the sharp sword light directly cut a deep sword mark in the dilapidated tomb hall, as if if the mark was any deeper it would have reached the ground.

Cheng Longjiu was also split into two halves by this shining sword!

But Su Luoxue didn't show any joy on her face. Instead, she immediately turned around and swung her sword backwards. She heard a voice like the abyss behind her: "No matter how powerful your moves are, they are meaningless if you can't hit the target."

Cheng Longjiu in front of Su Luoxue suddenly turned into a pool of ink-like black water and disappeared.

That was his Mo Ling substitute, not his real body!

Cheng Longjiu instantly appeared behind Su Luoxue, and Su Luoxue swung the sword backwards without hesitation.

'boom! '

With a sound of metal clashing, the Xutian Sword slashed on the Bloody Night Blade, and Cheng Longjiu blocked the sword.

Immediately afterwards, black and red spiritual power burst out from Cheng Longjiu's body, transforming into a blood-fang blade, and directly forced Su Luoxue back with the power of thousands of troops.

"I come!"

Ji Xian immediately rushed forward, like a red meteor, and the Tianxue Ji and the Death Sword stabbed towards Cheng Longjiu together.

But Cheng Longjiu sneered and stood where he was, not dodging or evading, allowing Ji Xian's two swords to pierce him. He didn't even use any magic or supernatural powers, but simply strengthened his body's protective qi.

However, when Ji Xian's two swords pierced Cheng Longjiu, something shocking happened.

'Boom! '

The sound of metal exploding spread clearly in the tomb hall, and everyone was watching this scene.

Tianxueji and the Sword of Death shattered when they stabbed Cheng Longjiu.

2.42 The Emperor is furious

Skyblood Princess and the Undead Sword...are broken?

Ji Xian stared at the broken swords in her hands in amazement, and even Su Luoxue was trembling.

You know, the Heavenly Blood Princess and the Dead Soul Sword are both divine weapons of the time, and with Ji Xian's power, they should be indestructible. But now, these two divine weapons have been shattered!

Ji Xian and Su Luoxue were both very smart and suddenly thought of it in an instant.

It was Cheng Longjiu who did it!

You have to know that when Ji Xian and Cheng Longjiu just fought each other, the world-destroying scene looked like a wind dragon and a tsunami at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you would find that it was just a form of sword energy and knife energy, it just looked like that.

But Cheng Longjiu's sword energy tsunami is not simply composed of sword energy, but is evolved from sword energy into a formation, and then the formation releases more sword energy. It is unknown how many other skills are mixed in it.

Ji Xian's sword did break through the tsunami of sword energy, but Tianxue Ji was also hit by the sword energy countless times in the process.

The next attack from the Death Sword was aimed at Cheng Longjiu's protective shield, which was made up of hundreds of talismans. The shield was extremely strong, and Ji Xian's attack was ultimately unable to break through its defenses and injure Cheng Longjiu, while his Death Sword continued to strike at the talismans.

Those talismans seemed to be producing micro-explosions at the time, and countless spiritual power explosions continued to severely damage the Undead Sword.

In the end, these two peerless divine weapons forged from the bones of the Yang God were shattered by Cheng Longjiu's attack...

Instead of attacking the opponent's main weapon, you can also severely damage the magic weapon while defending.

I can only say that it is worthy of being called Wanxiang Jue!

Cheng Longjiu looked at the stunned Ji Xian, his tone filled with smugness and murderous intent: "A sword cultivator has lost his sword. I wonder what the emperor has left with him now? What can he use to fight me!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Longjiu raised his knife and slashed towards Ji Xian fiercely.

Ji Xian came to his senses instantly, and without thinking twice, he immediately raised his two broken swords to block Cheng Longjiu's attack. But Cheng Longjiu shouted loudly, and chopped down with his other sword, which hit Ji Xian's two swords again. The spiritual power that burst out directly forced him back.

Su Luoxue immediately stepped forward and stabbed Cheng Longjiu from behind. Cheng Longjiu turned around to respond while saying, "Prime Minister Su, your weapon is better than the emperor's. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been forged by Military Advisor Pang."

Su Luoxue ignored Cheng Longjiu and stabbed again with the sword, activating talismans and formations, but was resolved by Cheng Longjiu.

Ji Xian also rushed forward again, with undisguised anger on her face. Her eyes seemed to be almost ignited by anger. She waved two broken swords and attacked Cheng Longjiu from the front and back with Su Luoxue.

Cheng Longjiu dealt with attacks from both sides at the same time, and the two Blood Night Blades kept waving like butterflies spreading their wings.

Seeing Ji Xian so angry, Cheng Longjiu smiled happily: "Is the emperor very angry?"

"What do you think!?" Ji Xian gnashed her teeth in anger: "How dare you!"

"Why are you so angry? Aren't they just two swords? Your father's Galaxy Sword is better than this." When Cheng Longjiu said this, he seemed to suddenly remember: "Oh, I forgot, the Undead Sword was left to your father by that freak, and the Sky Blood Princess was also forged from your grandmother's corpse..."

"Shut up!"

Ji Xian attacked Cheng Longjiu with the sword light of two broken swords, but was chopped into pieces by Cheng Longjiu on the spot.

Although Su Luoxue's expression was not as emotional as Ji Xian's, it could be seen from her eyes that she was really angry.

For Ji Xian, the destruction of the Sky Blood Princess and the Dead Sword was just the destruction of her beloved weapons. But for Su Luoxue, she knew better than anyone how important these two weapons were.

Tianxueji, that is a weapon forged from the immortal bones of Ji Xian's grandmother after her death. Although Ji Xian has never seen this famous killer Tianxueji, to Ji Xian, it is just a legend.

However, for the Tianyuan tribe in the Northern Desert, many of whom have lived for hundreds or thousands of years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for Emperor Xingzong, they are irreplaceable and important.

Emperor Xingzong launched the War of Restoration to recover the Great Zhou because of Princess Tianxue. One can imagine how much Emperor Xingzong valued his mother.

As for the Sword of the Dead, the history of this sword can be traced back to the Ying Dynasty 1,500 years ago. It seems to have little to do with the Great Zhou, but in fact it does have some relationship.

During the Restoration War, Emperor Xingzong faced a foe, both ally and foe, whose appearance and spiritual power resembled a monstrous creature, calling himself the Undead, after his sword. With his life approaching, this creature engaged in a final battle with Emperor Xingzong, who personally saw him off. Before his death, he passed on his weapons and the Seven Killings Sword Technique, the Soldier Demon.

In other words, both the Skyblood Princess and the Undead Sword carry the thoughts of countless people.

Su Luoxue has been taught by many elders since she was a child, and Pang Yuanchu likes to nag and reminisce about the past. Therefore, Su Luoxue knows a lot about the past, much more than Ji Xian.

Although Emperor Xingzong did not pass the Galaxy Sword to Ji Xian, he gave him these two swords of extraordinary significance and taught him the two great magical skills together.

But now, Tianxue Ji and the Undead Sword are both broken!

Su Luoxue is very calm and will not lose her mind no matter what happens, but that doesn't mean she won't be angry!

But even if she was angry, Su Luoxue's rationality made her shout to Ji Xian at this moment: "Ji Xian, retreat!"

Yes, Su Luoxue did not forget their original purpose. They withdrew from the Sword Tomb and went to the ground to join the army.

Although Ji Xian was more emotional than Su Luoxue, he was also a very calm person. He came to his senses after hearing Su Luoxue's voice.

He swung two broken swords, slashed out several sword auras to force Cheng Longjiu back, and then retreated with Su Luoxue.

But Cheng Longjiu just took two steps back and looked at the two of them with a cold smile: "Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Longjiu turned into a shadow and chased Ji Xian and Su Luoxue at a ghostly speed. He soon caught up with the two and launched another attack!

Ji Xian was so angry that she yelled, "Do you really think we are afraid of you?"

Ji Xian and Su Luoxue could have continued the fight against Cheng Longjiu together, but they had to worry about Cheng Ying and the puppets in the underground palace who could rush over at any time, so they had to retreat.

If Cheng Longjiu was the only opponent, Ji Xian would definitely fight him with all her might.

Cheng Longjiu's spiritual power transformed into a large number of spikes, attacking the two like thorns. Ji Xian and Su Luoxue had no choice but to stop and turn around to prepare for defense.

But at this time, Ji Xian turned around and looked behind her, which was the passage leading to the ground.

In less than half a breath, Su Luoxue also turned her head to look.

Ji Xian's perception was stronger, so she sensed it first, and Su Luoxue also sensed it at the same time. The two of them sensed a spiritual power from behind, an extremely powerful spiritual power.

Then, several burning fire feathers flew out from the dark passage at the back and crashed into Cheng Longjiu's black thorns like psychic magic weapons, burning and chopping all the black spiritual spikes into pieces.

Cheng Longjiu was startled and immediately stepped back to avoid it, but a large number of fire feathers chased after him.

Cheng Longjiu swung his two swords, and the sword energy like ghost fire was released to dissolve Huoyu's attack, and Huoyu retreated.

Then, Cheng Longjiu stared at the ancient tomb passage behind Ji Xian and Su Luoxue. His originally relaxed and confident smile faded and became extremely serious.

He sneered with this expression: "Humph, I thought alarming the emperor and the Prime Minister was outrageous enough, but I didn't expect that even you would be alarmed."

In the sight of the three people, a person slowly walked out of the dark tomb passage.

2.43 His Majesty the Emperor: My reinforcements have arrived

Although they had not seen the man's face clearly, Ji Xian, Su Luoxue, and Cheng Longjiu all knew who the visitor was.

Controlling objects and devices is a common method used by equipment repairers.

But the magic weapon he controlled was as blazing as the feathers of a bird or beast, indestructible and controllable like a living thing. Driving the magic weapon was just like a flaming feather meteor. There was only one person in the world who had such a magic weapon and means!

And sure enough, the man emerging from the dark tomb passage was dressed in a blue robe, waving a red and white feather fan. He looked only about twenty years old, handsome, and with the refined demeanor of a scholar. Yet, the spiritual pressure emanating from him was like vast mountains and rivers, seemingly stretching for thousands of miles.

The Grand Tutor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one of the Seven Generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Sky Fox General Kong Mingliang!

"It's you!?"

Ji Xian suspected that she had seen it wrong. After rubbing her eyes in disbelief, she still saw Kong Mingliang: "Sir, weren't you in Western Xinjiang? Why are you here?"

Even Su Luoxue was surprised: "Master Uncle, why are you here?"

Kong Mingliang looked at the two people in disbelief, smiled, and walked over to them and said, "Haha, a few days ago I returned to Chang'an to report on my work, and I happened to receive a message from you, Xue'er. So I followed your whereabouts and found Yangzhou. After making inquiries along the way, I came here."

There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the world today, and the seven generals of the Great Zhou each have their own tasks. But no matter how busy you are, you will eventually finish your work. You can't be busy forever, so there will always be time to relax.

Kong Mingliang was the first one to finish his work. After returning to Chang'an to report on his work, he heard about Ji Xian's situation in his free time and rushed to Yangzhou.

"Sir, why didn't you tell us you were coming earlier so we could be mentally prepared."

Ji Xian complained, but Kong Mingliang smiled and shook his head at him: "With Dieying's methods, it's better not to make it public."

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Dieying, besides being an assassination organization, also trades in intelligence. Their influence is spread throughout the major sects and vassal states of the Jianghu, and they certainly have members even within the Great Zhou. Rushing to publicize the situation would indeed risk alerting the enemy. Furthermore, Kong Mingliang couldn't guarantee that the Phoenix Bird he sent out wouldn't be intercepted by Dieying.

At this time, Kong Mingliang's eyes looked at the two swords in Ji Xian's hands, the broken Tianxueji Sword and the Death Sword.

"..."

Kong Mingliang, who had lived for at least fifteen hundred years and had seen all sorts of things, was silent for a long time. But after a moment, he sighed and asked, "Ah, Your Majesty, Xue'er, are you two okay?"

Like Su Luoxue, Kong Mingliang’s first concern was their safety.

"fine."

Although Ji Xian and Su Luoxue were at a disadvantage and could not defeat Cheng Longjiu, they did not suffer any injuries due to their strength and tacit understanding.

Kong Mingliang did not deliberately avoid Cheng Longjiu when speaking, so Cheng Longjiu heard everything clearly.

"Humph, I'm so unlucky that I happened to run into Marshal Tianhu returning to the court."
