Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

But this time, the tip of the arrow stopped three inches in front of his skin and could not move any further!
Ye Qingzhou's body gradually became ethereal. It was neither a physical entity nor a soul, but a superposition state between existence and non-existence.

Since he is not alive, death cannot befall him!
Since he is not dead, his soul still has vitality!
The death pattern on the golden arrow of destruction flashed wildly, but it was unable to lock onto the target. Finally, with a "click", a thin crack appeared on the arrow.

Ye Qingzhou stretched out his hand to hold the golden arrow, and said softly: "Thank you for this 'certain death' situation... Otherwise, I would not have found this 'life towards death' path."

It was so chaotic that Ye Qingzhou had no idea how much time had passed. After he realized the true meaning of death, he realized that five years had passed.

"It's time to go back."

"I wonder if everyone is doing well?"

…………

At the same time, in the deepest part of the spiritual world, the black battle robe of the Emperor of Destruction moved without wind.

He was originally sitting on a throne made of thousands of emperors' skeletons, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes, with death runes flashing wildly in his eyes.

"Someone... is rewriting the laws of death?"

His voice was hoarse like the friction of eternal dust, and the skeletal throne beneath him began to crack - after the soul of the Hades was imprisoned and suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, He took the opportunity to take control of the Avenue of Death, but He never thought that his foundation would be shaken so quickly.

Emperor Mie raised his hand, and a wisp of gray gas appeared in his palm, which was the manifestation of the origin of the Avenue of Death.

But at this moment, the gray gas was slowly splitting up. One part was still under his control, while the other part seemed to be drawn by some higher-level will and flowed towards the underworld...

"Ye Qingzhou..."

The Emperor of Mie slowly clenched his fist, and the skeletal throne collapsed completely.

"You actually want to usurp death? How interesting..."

…………

In the netherworld, there is no sun or moon.

But at this moment, an extremely bright light appeared above the sky. It was neither as scorching as the Golden Crow nor as cold as the moonlight, but a kind of chaotic light that transcended yin and yang.

The Feather Emperor Haoyang stood on the top of the Imperial Palace, the Wuji Sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the chaotic energy on the sword's spine flowed spontaneously, resonating with the light from the sky.

"really……"

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the ten sun patterns on the imperial crown lit up at the same time.

“Sure enough, you did it.”

Behind him, the nine great Xuan Lords knelt on the ground together.

Xuanjun Sihui held the "Solar Eclipse Classic" in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what is so magical about this light?"

The Feather Emperor did not answer, but gently stroked the sword and whispered:

"This is the Yin-Yang Mysterious Light, which can make people enter a state of neither life nor death. Even the most powerful weapons can hardly hurt them."

…………

Taixu Divine Dynasty, breaking boundary battlefield.

The Fierce Emperor was riding on the red flame chariot, leading the army of the Divine Dynasty to tear open the cracks in the Sky.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart, as if some vital authority was being taken away from him!

"This fluctuation... is it the vibration of the Avenue of Death?!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the underworld, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Just a moment ago - the "Mark of the Underworld Emperor" left by the Queen of the Cuckoo... completely dissipated!

"The Dark Emperor is dead, who can trigger the law of death?!"

The Fierce Emperor was furious. He swept the Heaven Burning Halberd across, splitting a star beside him in half. "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!"

The generals under his command knelt down and trembled: "Lord Liedi, could it be that...Miedi took action?"

"possible!"

Emperor Lie said in hatred: "Emperor Mie has long had rebellious intentions, and now he even dares to get involved in the 'power of death' of my Taixu lineage. His crime is unforgivable and he should be punished by God!"

…………

The rain is as fine as silk and the mountains are hazy.

On the bluestone path of Jiuyi Mountain, Xu Yuebing walked slowly holding a plain white oil-paper umbrella.

Today, she was wearing a dark-colored long dress with faint silver patterns embroidered on the hem, like a galaxy flowing in the night.

Five years have passed, and her eyebrows are still as cold as frost, but her eyes have a little more depth.

On the mountainside, a solitary grave stood quietly, with a few simple words engraved on the tombstone - "Ye Qingzhou's Tomb".

There were no flowers in front of the grave, only a pot of wine and five swords.

Having lost their masters, the five great divine weapons, Longyuan, Xuanyuan, Yandi, Tianxing and Feishuang, disappeared and turned into five inconspicuous rotten iron swords.

Xu Yuebing gently put down the white chrysanthemum in her hand, her eyes fell on the small curled up figure on the grave - dark, her original form was the tyrant Black Snake who had reached the sixth level of master cultivation, but now she has transformed into a little girl of seven or eight years old, sleeping soundly beside the tombstone.

Her long black hair spread on the bluestone, and in her arms was a delicate and small black dagger, which was a gift from Ye Qingzhou when she passed the high school entrance examination.

Xu Yuebing squatted down and patted her shoulder gently.

"Darkness, wake up."

The little girl opened her eyes drowsily, her golden vertical pupils gleaming slightly in the rain and mist.

After seeing who was coming, she rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Sister Xu, you are here again..."

Xu Yuebing smiled slightly, took out a bag of candied fruit from her sleeve and handed it to her: "Today is his death anniversary, I came to talk to him."

You'an took the candied fruit, obediently made way for it, sat cross-legged and started to eat it.

Five years have passed and everything has changed.

Xu Yuebing gently stroked the tombstone with her fingertips, and the cold touch made her dazed for a moment.

"Qingzhou, it's been five years..."

Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the rain and fog in the mountains.

"The Excalibur Group has completed its reorganization, and its market value now exceeds 10 trillion. The 'Tiangang Engine' of the Military Research and Development Department has just passed the test, and is at least ten years ahead of similar products in the Western Pole Country."

"Qi Mo is in charge of the biopharmaceutical industry. Both the 'Shengsheng Zaohua Pill' and the 'Jiuzhuan Huanhun Pill' have entered Phase III clinical trials and can repair damaged warrior meridians. The Tianji Research Institute has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with us."

"besides……"

She paused, a very faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

"I have already reached the peak of Grandmaster. If I take one more step, I will become a Martial Saint."

The wind blew, and raindrops swept across her temples diagonally, as if someone's fingertips were gently brushing them.

You'an tilted his head and looked at her: "Sister Xu, you said so much, can the master hear you?"

Xu Yuebing lowered her eyes and stroked the marks on the tombstone with her fingertips: "Whether you can hear it or not... it doesn't matter."

She just got used to coming here and talking to him every year on this day.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the mountain path, and two young men came side by side.

There was a tall man carrying a huge bronze axe on his back. The axe was wrapped in dark red evil spirit. He was Tie Zhan, the grandson of Tie Hengjiang, one of the Five Elders of Shengang Dao and the founding father of Bingsha.

The other man was dressed in a green shirt, with a seven-colored medicine gourd hanging from his waist. He had a handsome face, but his eyes were a bit sinister. He was Yao Jinkui, the grandson of Yao Puti, one of the Five Elders of Shengang Dao and the Principal Master of Xuandan. "Mr. Xu, I've heard a lot about you."

Tie Zhan clasped his fists and smiled, his voice resonant, "I came here today to pay tribute to Sword Saint Ye. I didn't expect to meet you."

Yao Jinkui bowed politely and said, "Miss Xu, I haven't seen you for five years. You are more charming than ever."

Xu Yuebing looked indifferent, and just nodded slightly: "You two are thoughtful."

He narrowed his eyes in darkness, and a dangerous light flashed in his golden pupils.

Tie Zhan looked at the tombstone with pretended emotion: "It's a pity that Ye Jiansheng died young. If he were still alive, the Excalibur Group would have already become the world's leader."

Yao Jinkui continued, "But Miss Xu has been able to manage her business to this point. I'm sure Ye Jiansheng's spirit in heaven will be pleased."

Xu Yuebing did not respond, but just looked at the tombstone quietly.

Seeing this, Tie Zhan took a step forward and said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, my grandfather has always admired you. If you are willing, the Tie family is willing to cooperate deeply with the Excalibur Group..."

Yao Jinkui also smiled and said, "The Yao family also has several newly developed elixirs, which may help Miss Xu break through to the Martial Saint level."

You'an suddenly burst into laughter.

The two were stunned and looked at the little girl who had been silent.

"You guys..."

You'an licked the candied fruit residue at the corner of his mouth and tilted his head innocently, "Do you think Sister Xu is easy to deceive?"

Tie Zhan's face froze: "Little girl, what do you mean by this?"

You'an jumped up, brushed off the dust on her skirt, and said with a grin, "What I mean is..."

Her golden vertical pupils suddenly shrank, and a terrifying murderous aura burst out from her petite body!
"Get away and don't disturb his sleep!"

The dark body contains the blood of Yinglong, forming the unique life pressure aura of the tyrant Black Snake. At this moment, it is actively released, and a powerful mental shock bursts out in an instant.

Tie Zhan and Yao Jinkui felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, with their hair standing on end!

Only then did they realize that the seemingly harmless little girl in front of them was actually an ancient ferocious beast!
Xu Yuebing gently pressed You'an's shoulder and shook her head: "Don't do it here."

You'an snorted, restrained his breath, and became obedient again, but his eyes were still cold.

Xu Yuebing looked at the two of them and said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness. But please don't worry about the affairs of the Excalibur Group."

Tie Zhan looked unhappy and wanted to say something else, but Yao Jinkui pulled him back and said with a forced smile, "Since Miss Xu is busy, we will visit her another day."

After saying that, he hurried away dragging Tiezhan.

On the mountain road, Tie Zhan gritted his teeth and growled, "Who is that girl? Her aura is so terrifying!"

Yao Jinkui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes gloomy: "It is rumored that Ye Qingzhou has a black viper with activated Yinglong bloodline... I didn't expect it to be true."

Only after the two walked away did Xu Yuebing sigh softly.

You An curled his lips: "Sister Xu, you are too gentle. People like this should be beaten out."

Xu Yuebing shook her head: "That's not necessary."

She looked down at the tombstone and said softly, "Qingzhou, look, now there are so many people who are thinking about the things you left behind..."

"But don't worry, I will protect you well."

The rain gradually stopped, the fog in the mountains dissipated, and the sky became slightly brighter.

Xu Yuebing stood up, took one last look at the tombstone, and turned away.

You'an followed her in a skipping manner, suddenly turned around and made a face at the tombstone.

"Bad master, if you don't come back, Sister Xu will be snatched away by someone else!"

The wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the leaves rustle, like someone's low laugh.

…………

Kowloon Bay, the headquarters of Shengang Dao.

Tie Hengjiang stood shirtless on the casting platform, with a huge bronze axe inserted at his side. The evil patterns on the axe moved like a living thing. His face was gloomy as he listened to Tie Zhan's narration of the trip to Jiuyi Mountain.

"waste!"

With an angry roar, Tie Hengjiang slammed the stone table beside him into pieces.

"If you can't even take down a little girl, how can you even think about seizing the Excalibur Group?!"

Tie Zhan lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "Grandpa, the aura of the black snake... is at least half a step to the level of a martial saint! Xu Yuebing has Chen Ze from the Excalibur Group leading the 'Four Seasons Sword Guards' to secretly protect him. We dare not act rashly..."

Tie Hengjiang snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the shadows: "Old Yao, what do you think?"

Yao Bodhi rode his Jade Medicine Lion and walked out slowly. His dwarf-like figure looked particularly eerie in the dim light. He stroked the seven-colored medicine gourd on his waist and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? The fat piece of meat of the Excalibur Group will not grow legs and run away."

Tie Hengjiang paced anxiously: "The Taoist master failed to ascend to godhood, was seriously injured and went into seclusion, Liu Wuhen died under Ye Qingzhou's sword, and that old bastard Chen Xiaozi has not been seen for decades... Now we are the only two old guys left in the sect to hold on!"

He clenched his fist fiercely, and the bronze axe vibrated and hummed:

"If this continues, Shengang Dao will be swallowed up by Xinsha Dao sooner or later!"

Yao Bodhi narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "So... we have to leave ourselves a way out."

He poured out a scarlet pill from the medicine gourd, squeezed it gently, and the pill mist transformed into a three-dimensional projection - the logo of the Golden Council!
"That group of vampires have long coveted the 'Tian Gang Engine' and 'Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Dan' of the Excalibur Group." Yao Puti laughed sinisterly, "They are willing to pay this amount..."

He gestured.

Tie Hengjiang's pupils shrank: "Three hundred billion Western Yuan?"

"And half is paid in advance."

Yao Bodhi put away the pills and said, "The condition is... we must transfer the core technology of the Excalibur Group to another owner within one month."

Tie Zhan couldn't help but interrupt: "But Xu Yuebing is not a soft persimmon. She has the relationship with Tianji Research Institute and the military behind her..."

Yao Puti sneered and looked at his grandson Yao Jinkui: "Jinkui, you speak."

Yao Jinkui bowed, a calculating light flashed in his eyes:
"The first step is to start with the 'Life Creation Pill'."

He took out a magical pill that shone brightly, which was the signature product of the Excalibur Group.

"The Yao family's secret recipe of 'Forget Dust Powder' is colorless and tasteless. When mixed into the elixir, it will temporarily stiffen the user's meridians... At that time, as long as a collective 'devilish possession' incident breaks out in the martial arts league..."

Tie Hengjiang suddenly realized: "Pressure from public opinion!"

Yao Jinkui smiled: "In the second step, the Gold Council will simultaneously short sell Excalibur stocks and buy off the media to exaggerate the 'product defect'."

"As for the third step..."

A blood-red jade slip appeared in his palm:

"Grandpa's 'Nine Revolutions Heart-Eating Pill' was able to allow Xu Yuebing, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster level... to die 'accidentally' when he was breaking through to become a Martial Saint, without anyone noticing. It's amazing."

While several people were plotting, no one noticed that a jade communication talisman on Yao Jinkui's waist was glowing faintly.

Jiuyi Mountain, in front of Ye Qingzhou’s tomb.

You'an sat cross-legged on the tombstone, playing with a specially made jade talisman in his hand, his golden vertical pupils full of teasing: "Oh my, no wonder the master always says that we should be on guard against others. These guys are really not good people?"

Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou's grave shook slightly, scaring You'an: "Oh no, the master is going to come back to life!" (End of this chapter)
