We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"Queen!"

The Empress died, right before everyone's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, her body was torn to pieces, causing an uproar throughout the land.
Wei Zhong shouted and rushed towards Su Chen, but was stopped by Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao.

The two were briefly surprised to see the Empress killed, but quickly recovered.

"Go away!"

Wei Zhong was furious. In his rage, his aura surged to the heavens, and his boundless power of laws was unstoppable.

The killing intent mixed within it soared straight to the sky, materialized, and crushed down.

Even with Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao joining forces to resist, they couldn't hold out for long.

In less than three breaths, Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao were forced to retreat under Wei Zhong's fierce attack.

Fortunately, Wei Zhong was fully focused on Su Chen at the moment, and neither of them was seriously injured.

After being repelled by Wei Zhong, Zhu Yan hurriedly shouted a warning to Su Chen: "My benefactor, be careful!"

Enraged, Wei Zhong's combat power surged, and he exuded murderous intent, showing no sign of stopping until he had killed Su Chen.

He was worried that Su Chen was no match for Wei Zhong, so he could only shout a reminder.

Su Chen naturally noticed Wei Zhong's arrival. He had killed the Empress and then refined her, obtaining her memories of Cai Xiaoyue and her son. So, while dodging away, he told Zhu Yan Cai Xiaoyue's location.

"Zhu Yan, you and Senior Gu go to the Imperial Prison now. Xiao Yue and the others are imprisoned there. I'll handle things here!"

“But, my benefactor, you…” Zhu Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this, but then asked with concern.

His original intention was to have Gu Xiaoyao stay behind so he could go and rescue Cai Xiaoyue first, and then come back to help Su Chen.

However, Su Chen instructed him to stay with Gu Xiaoyao and prepare to face Wei Zhong alone.

Although he believed in Su Chen's strength, he still had reservations, after all, Wei Zhong's strength was simply too great.

Even when the two of them joined forces, they couldn't last three breaths against Wei Zhong. If he wanted to kill them, it was only a matter of time.

Su Chen has already helped him so much; if anything were to go wrong, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Hurry up and make the most of the time!" Su Chen replied sharply.

Wei Zhong's offensive has already begun, and he cannot afford to be too distracted, otherwise, if Wei Zhong seizes an opportunity, he will be in grave danger.

"Alright! My benefactor, then be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan left a message and then led Gu Xiaoyao into the palace.

Now everyone in the palace is focused on Su Chen, and few people are paying attention to them.

Even if you notice it, you can't stop it.

Even in the imperial palace, martial arts immortals are not commonplace.

"You dare to get distracted while fighting me? You're practically asking for death!"

Wei Zhong noticed it, but not because he saw Zhu Yan and the others leave, but because he noticed the fluctuations caused by Su Chen and Zhu Yan's conversation.

Seeing Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao leave, he instinctively wanted to stop them, but quickly gave up.

The most urgent task is not to capture Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao, but to deal with Su Chen.

With this in mind, he became increasingly reckless in his attacks, each move deadly and imbued with the power of laws.

"The power of laws? Sorry, I have that too!"

Faced with the overwhelming force of the laws surrounding him, Su Chen curled his lips into a cold laugh.

Immediately, a power of law even more immense than Wei Zhong's surged forth from his body, pouring out like a vast ocean.

"How...how can you use the power of laws?"

The power of laws can only be comprehended by martial artists at the second level of Martial Immortal. With Su Chen's current level, it is impossible for him to comprehend it.

But now, he actually saw the power of law that Su Chen was using, how could he not be shocked?

When the two forces of law collided, the entire world fell silent.

There was no earth-shattering commotion, but instead, a deathly silence descended.

This situation did not last long. In the next instant, a sudden change occurred. The power of law that Su Chen was using suddenly trembled, as if a gluttonous mouth had opened wide and devoured his power of law in the blink of an eye.

After all the power of the laws was devoured, he clearly felt that his control over the power of the laws had weakened considerably, and the power itself had also decreased. What shocked him even more was that the power of the laws was weakening.

"You are refining the power of the laws!"

Wei Zhong suddenly realized what Su Chen had done and was shocked.

Su Chen frowned but did not answer. He did indeed want to try to devour the power of the laws, as Wei Zhong had suggested, but unfortunately he failed.

The power of laws arises between heaven and earth, containing the great principles of heaven and earth. It is extremely powerful, and an individual can only use it, but cannot completely master it.

Not to mention refining it, there is an invisible force preventing it from happening.

Unless Su Chen's strength is great enough to ignore this power, he will not be able to succeed.

"Since we can't refine it, then let's break it apart!"

Su Chen frowned, drew his Heaven-Slaying Blade, and simultaneously withdrew his power of law.

His power of law is different from Wei Zhong's power of law; it is purely gained through his own comprehension and can be restored.

He must use it sparingly, otherwise each use will reduce the number of times he can use it.

"Haha, what a pretentious fellow!"

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong, who had been surprised, relaxed and burst into laughter.

After losing Su Chen's restriction, his control over the power of laws reached its peak, and his thoughts stirred slightly.

The power of the law transformed into a long, transparent dragon, pressing down on Su Chen.

Su Chen retreated as if he had expected this, then leaped and flashed to another spot, widening the distance between them.

"Heaven-Severing Blade!"

Su Chen let out a soft murmur, and the Heaven-Severing Blade trembled violently at the sound. He had been itching to make his move for a long time.

"Kill!" Broken Sky Blade responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, his aura reaching its peak, resonating with Su Chen's power.

The connection in their blood made their powers perfectly aligned at this moment, requiring no further explanation.

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and he gripped the Heaven-Slaying Blade, unleashing his strongest move, the Heaven-Slaying Blade Drawing Technique.

This move, which pierced the heavens, was his most powerful technique.

He also wanted to see what kind of effect his strongest move would have.

'Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!'

When Su Chen, whose strength had reached the level of a Martial Immortal, used the Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword Technique, he truly possessed the power to slay the heavens.

At the peak of its power, a fierce wind arose, and flying sand and stones seemed to obscure the sky and earth.

As the blade fell, it cleaved through any force that stood in its way, creating a shocking rift from the sky to the earth.

Everyone in the palace was forced to their knees by this force, unable to raise their heads.

Even Wei Zhong trembled when faced with the Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword Technique.

This wasn't real fear, but rather a fear generated by his brain that caused his body to tremble instinctively.

"What a terrifying power!"

Wei Zhong had to admit that Su Chen was formidable, and he admitted that he had underestimated Su Chen.

With this move alone, even if Su Chen's cultivation level is weaker than his, he still has the power to fight him.

For the first time ever, a serious expression appeared on his face. The blade's speed was incredibly fast, faster than a thought could keep up, but Wei Zhong's reaction was equally swift. In less than a fraction of a second, Wei Zhong mobilized all his strength to meet the challenge head-on, and roared, "Sunflower Chaos!"

In an instant, sunflowers bloomed across the heavens and earth, each containing a rich power of law, or rather, all the sunflowers were formed from the power of law. When they bloomed like real flowers, they became a world of their own.

This world is a world of sunflowers, while the other world is a world of blades.

Two worlds collided violently amidst the raging hurricane.

Boom boom boom!
Every step forward brought a terrifying shock. The immense power, upon colliding with the two, surged in all directions like a tidal wave, leaving nothing in its path unstoppable, all reduced to ashes.

The nearest city wall was reduced to dust by the aftershocks of their combined power.

The people in the palace had already been swept away and were drifting uncontrollably in the wind.

As the forces of both sides spread, the surrounding world rapidly collapsed, creating endless dust in the depressions.

Su Chen and Wei Zhong were completely unaffected.

This is a clash of strength and a test of endurance. At this point, whoever gives up first will lose.

"Kid, you've got a lot to be proud of, being able to fight me for this long!"

Wei Zhong's icy voice came and reached Su Chen's ears.

"Old man, you should be even more proud of yourself for being able to withstand a combined attack from us!"

Duan Tian Dao wasn't going to tolerate Wei Zhong, and responded with a sarcastic remark.

In response, it launched an attack, slashing several times, but unfortunately, these moves were annihilated before it even reached a hundred meters.

The clash between the two forces was something the Heaven-Severing Blade simply couldn't withstand.

"Hmph, you broken blade! After I kill your master, I will skin you alive, tear out your tendons, and strip you of your intelligence!"

Wei Zhong paid no heed to the mockery of the Heaven-Slaying Blade, leaving behind a vicious remark.

After Su Chen died, the broken sword became his property, but at his level, he no longer cared about divine weapons.

The divine weapon could no longer satisfy him.

Unless the Heaven-Severing Blade can also transform from mortal to immortal and become a celestial weapon, it will have little effect on him.

However, in the entire world, from ancient times to the present, not a single immortal weapon has ever appeared.

Rather than hoping that the Heaven-Slaying Blade will become a celestial weapon, I'd rather hope that I can break through to a higher level in my lifetime.

Since it cannot become a celestial weapon, it would be of no use to him after he obtained it, so it would be better to erase its intelligence and give it to someone else to use.

Upon hearing this, Duan Tian Dao roared in fury, "Old man, you're asking for death!"

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but sneer.

No matter how harshly the other party insults him, it's just empty talk; killing him isn't that easy.

He could already sense that Su Chen's power was weakening, and if the stalemate continued, Su Chen would inevitably be the one to lose in the end.

But just then, he suddenly heard Duan Tian Dao say, "Su Chen, don't waste time with him. Use your real trump card!"

What's the real trump card?
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong was startled and looked ahead in surprise.

They tried to glean clues from Su Chen's face, but Su Chen remained calm.

He immediately realized that this might be a distracting remark from the Heaven-Slaying Blade, and that Su Chen didn't actually have any real trump cards.

Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, Su Chen nodded seriously: "Okay!"

"Fools! I will not be influenced by you!"

Wei Zhong remained completely calm, assuming that Su Chen was only trying to cooperate with the Heaven-Severing Blade.

However, this idea did not last long. Soon, Su Chen showed him what his true trump card was.

The previously dormant power of the laws suddenly erupted and enveloped his entire body.

When Wei Zhong saw this power, his eyelids twitched. As Su Chen's arrogance continued to rise, his heart finally began to panic.

"No!"

Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao didn't give him time to react; they attacked instantly.

The blade fell again.

Although this strike was not as powerful as the previous one, its effect was incredibly strong.

The two were locked in a stalemate, neither able to move. At this moment, whoever could make a move would be the victor.

In particular, Su Chen and the Heaven-Severing Blade's strike contained the power of laws, enough to ignore Wei Zhong's defenses and strike his body directly.

In his panic, Wei Zhong did not forget to defend himself, but all his strength was instantly disintegrated by this one move.

"how so!"

Wei Zhong could hardly believe his eyes. This was the power of the law; even if it couldn't be resisted, it shouldn't have collapsed so quickly.

Little did they know, Su Chen was also refining the substance while attacking.

He was indeed unable to refine the power of laws, but he could easily break through the power of laws by refining them.

Moreover, this is a clash of laws; whoever has stronger laws will be able to crush the other.

Wei Zhong was currently using ninety percent of his strength to fight against him and the Broken Sky Blade, leaving him with very little power to spare. Under such circumstances, it was normal for him to be instantly killed.

"what!"

No sooner said than done, in an instant, the blade struck Wei Zhong.

He screamed in agony and could no longer hold on.

All the power dissipated instantly, and he was crushed by Su Chen's power, eventually flying backward.

Like a meteorite, it crashed into countless buildings along its path.

The Heaven-Severing Blade slipped from Su Chen's hand and then chased after him relentlessly, striking while he was still weakened to take his life!

"Remember, the one who killed you is named Xuanqi!" The voice of the Heaven-Slaying Blade echoed in Wei Zhong's mind.

But Wei Zhong was in no mood to pay attention at that moment.

Wei Zhong's heart pounded wildly until the Heaven-Slaying Blade came into view.

He sensed the killing intent emanating from the Heaven-Severing Blade, and even more so, a dense power of death.

Without wasting words, Duan Tian Dao immediately took action.

He made a simple, unremarkable slash, but its speed and power were beyond description.

This strike, traversing the sky, transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing through the air and slicing down at the waist.

If Wei Zhong were hit, he would surely die.

Wei Zhong also realized the situation and tried to dodge, but at this moment, he was weak all over and could only watch helplessly as the blade fell.

"do not want!"

Wei Zhong screamed in agony.

Duan Tiandao ignored him, a smirk playing on his lips: "Die!"

"Heaven-Slaying Blade, watch out!"

Suddenly, Su Chen's urgent voice rang out. Before Duan Tian Dao could react, he felt a terrifying power surging out from the depths of the palace.

Upon witnessing this power, he retreated without hesitation.

Fortunately, the force didn't attack him directly, but instead flew towards Wei Zhong. At the same time, a voice rang out:
"Su Chen of the Ziyang Sect, you should be forgiving when you can. You've gone a bit too far!" (End of Chapter)
