From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"Li Gaoyang? I heard that he just broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm some time ago. How come he is here?"

Everyone was talking in low voices.

He was a disciple of the Holy King, yet he was rejected repeatedly in public by an unknown female cultivator. A real man cannot tolerate humiliation again!

Li Gaoyang's face turned pale: "You are not accepting my toast and you will be punished by drinking a penalty drink!"

As he spoke, a huge momentum rose and pressed towards Xiao Minghuang.

"Humph!"

Xiao Minghuang snorted coldly, and sharp sword energy suddenly surged around him.

hum!

Two energies gathered in the air and were about to collide.

A flash of golden light suddenly appeared, and a powerful pressure came like a tide, dissolving the two people's energy out of thin air.

A majestic voice suddenly sounded.

"According to Article 31 of the Holy Court Law, if someone makes noise in the auction hall or disrupts the normal order of bidding, he will be warned once, expelled twice, and handed over to the Criminal Justice Office for the third time!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the auctioneer who had been at the booth suddenly appear. The smile on his face had long since disappeared, and he looked dignified. Just standing there, he exuded an extremely powerful aura.

Only then did the monks react.

The auctioneer at an auction is actually a powerful king.

"If you two have any grudges, please go to the Penalty Department to resolve them. Do not disrupt the order of the auction!"

"Humph!"

Li Gaoyang looked at Xiao Minghuang hatefully, then walked away without looking back.

"Thank you, senior!"

Xiao Minghuang bowed.

"It is our duty to maintain order at the auction."

The auctioneer said calmly and then disappeared.

As the auctioneer of Baiwen Pavilion, he certainly knew that Xu Xiuer was the disciple of the Pavilion Master and Li Gaoyang was the disciple of Xuanji Saint King.

These two are people who cannot be offended.

So, his best option is to stay out of it.

A few people walked out of the auction and found a teahouse to rest.

"Princess, will Li Gaoyang take revenge on us?"

Xu Xiuer asked with a worried look on her face.

Xiao Minghuang asked: "Wanqiu, what do you think about this?"

Lin Wanqiu thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know him well, I think Li Gaoyang will not let this go and will definitely seek revenge in the future. Your Highness should be careful, as he seems to be holding a grudge against him."

Xiao Minghuang's eyes turned and he said thoughtfully: "Maybe we don't have to wait until later..."

Xu Xiuer's face was full of self-blame: "Princess, this is all my fault. If I hadn't brought Li Gaoyang here, I wouldn't have had a grudge against you."

Xiao Minghuang shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

Lin Wanqiu looked at Xiao Minghuang: "Your Highness, do you have any plans?"

"Um..."

Xiao Minghuang thought for a moment and said, "You guys just stay in the market and don't go out. There are too many people here and he won't dare to make a move. I will go out alone and meet him."

As he spoke, Xiao Minghuang took out a talisman and handed it to Lin Wanqiu.

"Let's keep in touch. If the situation changes, go and call the people from the Inspection Department over."

Lin Wanqiu nodded: "Okay!"

Lin Wanqiu had no doubt about Xiao Minghuang's strength, so there was no need to worry even if the opponent was in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After Xiao Minghuang gave the instructions, he walked out directly.

"Are you sure, Princess?"

Xu Xiuer frowned, looking worried.

She didn't want the princess to get hurt. After all, Li Gaoyang was already in the Spirit Transformation Realm, while the princess was only in the Yuantai Realm.

"Don't worry!" Lin Wanqiu was full of confidence, "Let's just wait for His Highness to return with a full load!"

273. Demonstrating Power in the Field of Kendo

Night fell and the sky became dark.

Xiao Minghuang quietly withdrew from the market town and flew into the endless mountains.

The Holy Academy is vast, stretching for tens of millions of miles.

If there is a vast area and no one can monitor it in real time, there will be some unknown secret places and blind spots.

These dark places often become occasions for disciples to settle grudges.

Xiao Minghuang traveled quickly through the forest.

Since she came out of retreat, she has faced off against a few people from the Ziwei Sect, but it was just a trial run and no blood was shed yet.

Now, it was a good opportunity for Li Gaoyang to test the extent of her sword power.

Moreover, she could not forget that rusty sword. If Li Gaoyang could not return it to her with both hands, she would probably find it difficult to let it go.

After a while, Xiao Minghuang came to a swamp.

The surroundings were filled with mist and poisonous miasma, and the sounds of insects and beasts could be faintly heard. It seemed very lonely and terrifying.

Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps came from a distance.

Li Gaoyang, dressed in a purple robe and looking extraordinary and noble, walked slowly towards them. He had an icy smile on his face and his eyes were full of pride.

"What an interesting woman." Li Gaoyang stared at Xiao Minghuang, smiling and saying, "You ran out by yourself, are you sure you can defeat me, or do you want to throw yourself into my arms?"

Xiao Minghuang had no expression on his face and said coldly: "You talk too much nonsense!"

Li Gaoyang's face darkened completely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I will cut off your hands and feet first, and make you kneel before me and beg for mercy. Then you will definitely serve me obediently."

There was murderous intent in his eyes, his clothes were puffed up, and his body was taller.

A powerful spiritual power gushed out and turned into a huge fist shadow, slamming towards Xiao Minghuang.

Xiao Minghuang was not in a hurry. He pointed his finger as a sword and rushed forward.

Boom!

The fist shadow dissipated and disappeared.

"You are only at the Yuantai realm, but you can actually block my attack. Not bad."

Li Gaoyang narrowed his eyes, greed in his eyes: "But you are destined to fall into my hands, hahahaha!"

In the outside world, he is still restrained, dressed like a gentleman. But here, there is no one else, Li Gaoyang no longer hides his true nature.

Swish!

Li Gaoyang's body swayed and he rushed towards Xiao Minghuang at an extremely fast speed. He got close to her in an instant and chopped her down with his palm.

Boom boom boom——

The two soon started fighting fiercely.

Li Gaoyang's cultivation was even better than Xiao Minghuang's. His attack was fierce and violent, like a human-shaped ferocious tiger. Every move he made was full of ruthlessness.

However, Xiao Minghuang was not afraid at all. Every time he thrust out his sword, it was carried with it a mysterious sword intent, as if ripples were spreading out, making the void tremble. The sword energy was running rampant, competing with Li Gaoyang's fist wind.

boom! boom! boom!

Amid a series of violent explosions, the two figures crossed each other and quickly distanced themselves from each other.

Whoosh!

Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes solemn.

The opponent in front of him is stronger than Qi Chang and others he met last time.

But it's just some.

After this test, she roughly figured out the other party's strength.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Minghuang's eyes.

There was a fiery look in Li Gaoyang's eyes, as if he wanted to devour Xiao Minghuang.

After a moment, Xiao Minghuang suddenly smiled. She stretched out her index finger to hook the black hair beside her ear, tucked it behind her ear, and said with a faint smile: "Li Gaoyang, if your strength is limited to this, I'm afraid you will be disappointed tonight."

As the words fell, wisps of sword energy emerged from her body, and the sharp and unparalleled aura rushed into the sky, covering the entire sky, as if to split the sky in half.

Xiao Minghuang's long hair was flying and her figure was elegant and graceful, just like an immortal banished to the mortal world, detached from the mundane world.

Li Gaoyang's pupils shrank slightly and his heart skipped a beat.

"Just pretend to be a ghost and suffer death!"

Li Gaoyang shouted angrily, and the spiritual power in his body surged like a surging river, continuously flowing into his right arm.

boom!

He swung his fist down like a falling meteorite, striking towards Xiao Minghuang with power that could shatter the mountains and the earth.

In an instant, the color of heaven and earth changed.

Xiao Minghuang did not dodge or evade, his eyes lit up, it was time to use the sword field!

In an instant, a majestic and vast aura rose up, and an invisible sword domain suddenly appeared around her.

In an instant, the air was filled with sword energy between heaven and earth. The entire sky was dyed with shining silver light, and sword energy was everywhere.

Xiao Minghuang stood in the sword domain, like a sword immortal descending to the earth, breathtakingly beautiful.

The star-falling fist shadow was distorted by this terrifying aura, like a dream bubble, and was vulnerable to a single blow.

Li Gaoyang suddenly felt dazed and the scenes before him were psychedelic and overlapping.

The next moment, he reacted suddenly.

"Domain! You have comprehended the domain of swordsmanship!"

Xiao Minghuang opened her red lips and said, "You guessed it right, but there is no reward."

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her sword diagonally.

scoff!

The sword energy was like rippling water. Wherever it passed, the mountains, rivers and grass collapsed. Li Gaoyang's protective magic weapon was shattered in an instant.

Then, his right shoulder was pierced by a sword.

"Pfft!"

Li Gaoyang fell to the ground.

His right shoulder was covered in blood, his bones were shattered, and he was on the verge of death.

Xiao Minghuang looked slightly gloomy. She didn't know whether Li Gaoyang was too weak or his sword skills were too strong. She felt that the attack just now was far from her limit.

Even with only 10% or 20% of his full strength, he was already able to completely defeat his opponent.

Li Gaoyang's eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were about to burst.

"How can it be?!"

"You are only at the Yuantai realm! You have already comprehended the realm of swordsmanship. How did you do it?!"

He doesn't believe it.

His master once said that even the most powerful swordsman who was crowned the King of Swords could only comprehend the realm of Swords when he reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.

But Xiao Minghuang in front of him is only at the Yuantai realm. How can she possess the realm of swordsmanship?

Xiao Minghuang did not answer, but continued forward with his sword in hand.
