Chapter 572 One Sword Kills a Cat, My Name Should Be Held in the Way of the Sword

Han Shengxuan, the head of the 100,000 eunuchs in the Liyang Imperial Palace, and one of the three great villains of the Spring and Autumn Period.

He himself was a first-grade Finger Profound Realm expert, and his Finger Profound Realm attainments were second only to Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a.

The profound secret he comprehended is called "Finger-Pinching to Sever Longevity," which can isolate the use of the power of heaven and earth by experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Therefore, Han Shengxuan was able to kill Celestial Realm experts who were above his level, and was known as the "Celestial Realm Harvester". He also had the title of "Han is invincible below the Earth Immortal".

In his early years, Han Shengxuan was extremely loyal to Emperor Liyang, catching countless "rats" for him.

The so-called "rat" does not refer to rats, but rather to martial arts masters who break the law.

Han Shengxuan's methods towards these people were extremely cruel, like a cat torturing a mouse.

Not only will they not escape death, but they will also be mocked and toyed with before they die.

That's why Han Shengxuan got the nickname "human cat".

If Xu Xiao and Huang Sanjia joined forces to disrupt the Nine Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn, then Han Shengxuan and Xu Xiao joined forces to crush the Jianghu of Liyang.

During the twenty-three years before and after Li Yang unified the Central Plains, Han Shengxuan killed countless martial arts masters and rising stars, causing great damage to the martial arts world.

The most famous was Ye Hongting, the talisman general with red armor, one of the four grandmasters. Han Shengxuan not only stripped him of his talisman armor and tore his body apart, but also cut off his head and hung it on the flagpole.

Although Han Shengxuan refers to the Profound Realm, it is not that he is unable to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Rather, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm requires resonance with heaven and earth and borrowing the laws of heaven and earth. Killing and saving people will be tainted by the fortune. Even if a martial artist is not like a member of the Three Teachings, he will still be severely restricted. However, Han Shengxuan has killed too many people in his life, which is against the harmony of heaven and earth. If he breaks through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he will inevitably suffer from it.

Therefore, he never dared to advance to the Celestial Realm, which resonates with heaven and earth.

However, Han Wudi, who is below the level of a terrestrial immortal, is enough to show how terrifying his strength is.

Zhou Chengan slowly walked forward, and when he was about ten feet away from Han Shengxuan, he stopped and said calmly, "You fled without a fight before, but now you're threatening to kill me. I'd like to know what gives you the confidence to say such a thing."

Han Shengxuan remained silent, and countless red threads appeared between his hands, a sight that instilled fear in those who looked at them.

Zhou Chengan looked at him calmly, then threw a punch.

When the fist was three feet in, Han Shengxuan remained unmoved.

When he saw Sanchi again, his face was full of mockery.

But once it reached the last foot, the fist's intent was scorching, and its power was terrifying!
Han Shengxuan's expression suddenly hardened, and he moved with lightning speed, grabbing Zhou Chengan's arm. The red threads of energy on his hand were broken by Zhou Chengan's punch, but they regenerated in the blink of an eye.

"Got you!" Han Shengxuan laughed.

Zhou Chengan smiled as well, grabbed Han Shengxuan's wrist with his other hand, and kicked him.

The leg strike was like a knife, sweeping across.

Although Han Shengxuan reacted quickly and dodged the kick aimed at his head, it still left a bloody mark on his old face.

While dodging the kick, he intended to tear off Zhou Cheng'an's arm, but found that Zhou Cheng'an was radiating a golden light, and his Finger Secret Manual Three Thousand Red Silk could not budge him in the slightest.

"You're at the Great Vajra Realm?!"

Han Shengxuan's tone betrayed his shock. He could break through the Vajra Realm because the Finger Profound Realm was inherently higher than the Vajra Realm, but this Vajra Realm did not include the Great Vajra Realm.

Zhou Chengan remained silent, pulled him to his side with his backhand, and simultaneously leaned forward, delivering a powerful elbow strike.

Han Shengxuan flipped his hand and caught the elbow strike.

boom!
The ground beneath their feet instantly cracked, spreading out like a spider web.

The reeds on both sides of the official road were pulverized by the combined energy of the two men.

He channeled his energy into his left hand, then exerted force twice with his elbow, creating a massive, overwhelming impact that sent Han Shengxuan flying backward.

He was like a stone skipping across water, bouncing several times on the ground before dissipating the force and managing to stabilize himself ten feet away.

"As expected of the Great Vajra Realm, I really underestimated you."

Han Shengxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the thought of retreating had already taken root in his mind.

He can kill celestial phenomena with his fingertips, but he cannot kill the Great Vajra.

They can't even break through the defenses of a Great Vajra Realm expert, let alone kill them; they might even be worn down to death by the Great Vajra Realm expert.

Zhou Cheng'an seemed to see right through him and said with a faint smile, "Since you're here, don't even think about escaping. If you manage to get away, what's the point of me going to Longhu Mountain?"

After saying this, he raised his hands to form a circle, and a Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol appeared behind him.

This scene startled Li Chungang, who couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Good heavens, this kid actually cultivates the Heavenly Dao?!"

Facing Zhou Cheng'an directly, Han Shengxuan was even more terrified. He wanted to escape, but found that he was completely locked onto by Zhou Cheng'an's aura.

He had a strong feeling that if he turned and ran, Zhou Chengan's next punch could kill him.

Can't escape!
Then we'll have no choice but to fight with all our might!
Han Shengxuan unleashed his deadly moves with both hands adorned with red silk threads.

Zhou Cheng'an simply responded with Tai Chi, striking back to counter the attack and using softness to overcome hardness.

As time went on, Han Shengxuan became increasingly anxious.

He found that his range of activities was constantly shrinking, as if he were being confined to a small world.

More importantly, the strange force of the punch made him feel as if he were stuck in a quagmire, his internal energy circulation was not smooth, and his movements became slow.

Even my thoughts seemed to have become sluggish.

Furthermore, the rate at which true qi is lost is at least several times faster than under normal circumstances.

In contrast, Zhou Cheng'an remained composed and at ease throughout the entire process.

The Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram behind him kept spinning, constantly eroding his opponent's true energy.

Han Shengxuan knew very well that he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Otherwise, you will definitely die!
"Hmm? Han Shengxuan is going to fight with all his might."

As Li Chungang, who was watching the battle, spoke slowly, Han Shengxuan's true energy surged, his wide sleeves fluttered, and his white hair danced wildly without wind, making him look like a demon god.

He leaped high into the air, his body spinning and rising, as countless red threads shot out, each one like a man-eating python, tearing at Zhou Cheng'an.

Zhou Cheng'an gathered his energy into his body, and his whole body shone with golden light, as if a god had descended to earth.

The red thread that shot towards him struck him, producing a dull, resonant sound.

Just then, Xu Fengnian made a move.

"Mother, today Fengnian will avenge you!"

As these words were spoken, the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow was drawn from its sheath.

From Sword One: Dragon and Snake to Sword Nine: Six Thousand Miles, Xu Fengnian delivered a total of nine swords.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng'an used his physical strength to withstand all the red threads, and his whole body shot into the sky like a cannonball, heading straight for Han Shengxuan in mid-air.

Han Shengxuan tried to dodge, but he was too late.

Zhou Chengan's blocking punch landed squarely on his chest.

Then, the nine sword energies arrived as promised.

Han Shengxuan, who was sent flying backward, spat out a mouthful of blood. His hands were covered in red silk threads as he actually managed to withstand nine sword energies.

Ultimately, his cultivation level was too low. If Xu Fengnian had the Vajra Realm cultivation, those nine sword energies alone would have been enough to take Han Shengxuan's life.

Fortunately, Xu Fengnian still had a backup plan.

After nine sword strikes, he flew over wielding the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow sword.

puff!
Han Shengxuan was pierced through the chest by a sword, but he retaliated by striking Xu Fengnian with a palm, sending him flying.

"You're far from capable of killing me!"

"is it?"

A soft laugh rang out, and Zhou Cheng'an's hand was already gripping the hilt of the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow Sword.

If Zhou Chengan hadn't used his self-contained "Boundless Realm" and Tai Chi force to bind Han Shengxuan, Xu Fengnian's sword wouldn't have hit him at all.

At this moment, Zhou Chengan had already gripped the sword.

Then the Realm of No Heaven and the Tai Chi Force would be unnecessary.

The rotating Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram disappeared, and Han Shengxuan immediately realized that he was no longer restrained. He then flew back dozens of feet.

Zhou Chengan looked at him calmly.

He seemed like an enlightened monk, neither happy nor sad, his eyes filled only with endless pity.

Han Shengxuan didn't like that look in his eyes.

Those eyes, which seemed to hold the compassion of gods for all living beings, made him feel like an ant.

Wrong!

Unfortunately, he had absolutely no way to deal with Zhou Cheng'an.

More importantly, Zhou Cheng'an, who was holding the sword at this moment, even made him feel a strong sense of fear.

When they first started fighting, Han Shengxuan noticed that Zhou Chengan was faster than him.

In other words, running away is definitely not an option.

There's only one way to survive: take hostages!
Instead of retreating, Han Shengxuan advanced, and at the same time, three thousand red threads shot out.

However, this time they weren't after Zhou Chengan, but after Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian struggled to get up, but he found it difficult to move even a little.

Li Chungang was about to draw his sword, but someone was faster than him. The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow slashed down with tremendous force!

The sword energy swept across the sky, severing all the flying red threads.

As he drew his sword, his other hand was not idle either. With a backhand slap, he sent Xu Fengnian flying back to the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present heard a burst of cheers.

It was emitted by the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow.

Inside the sword case of the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow, there are two lines of text.

This sword will quell all injustices in the world; this sword is worthy of the world and all those who have wronged it!
Looking across the entire martial arts world, very few people dare to say they can achieve these eighteen words.

Li Chungang dared not, and neither did Wang Xianzhi.

But Zhou Chengan dared.

If someone were to ask him whether he dared to say that no innocent souls had been killed by his sword, Zhou Cheng'an would answer without even thinking.

No innocent souls have been wronged by my sword, Zhou Cheng'an.

I, Zhou Chengan, have acted with a clear conscience.

Therefore, he, who is used to meddling in other people's business and acts without any guilt, is actually the most suitable master for the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow.

If... he meant if Wu Su had been born in the same era as Wu Su in the Wu family's sword tomb, then Wu Su would have had no chance with the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow.

"What a fine sword!"

Zhou Chengan flicked the sword lightly, causing it to tremble slightly and immediately emit a cry, like a dragon or a phoenix.

A surge of powerful sword intent soared into the sky.

Charge into the bullfight!

Shocking the Jade Emperor!

Zhou Cheng'an suddenly exuded a sharp aura that only a peerless sword immortal could possess, causing the eyes of onlookers to sting.

"Before there was the old sword god Li Chungang, and after there was the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a. After this sword, the name of Zhou Cheng'an should also be on the path of swordsmanship."

Li Chungang laughed heartily.

Han Shengxuan took off running.

Swish!
The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow thrust out its sword.

The sword light was incredibly dazzling, as if it made the sun and moon appear dim, and it swept out with a powerful sword aura.

In the blink of an eye, it had spread for dozens of feet. Wherever the sword light passed, the ground shattered one after another, as if a raging dragon had swept through, and the sound of wind and thunder still rolled in the air.

In mid-air, a long spatial ripple even appeared, as if this sword had cut the world apart.

The surging, violent sword energy instantly engulfed Han Shengxuan, who was fleeing.

When the sword light completely dissipated, a deep and terrifying sword mark was left on the ground. Han Shengxuan lay in the sword mark, most of his body had been pulverized by the sword energy, and he was beyond dead.

Zhou Cheng'an darted back to the carriage and asked Li Chungang, "How was my sword strike?"

"Great!"

Almost simultaneously, Xu Fengnian, who was using the Great Yellow Court to repair his injuries, also managed to speak, spitting out two words.

"Brilliant!"

Zhou Chengan placed the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow next to him and laughed, "Han Shengxuan's physique was too weak, and I couldn't leave you with a breath left, but I left you half a corpse."

Xu Fengnian nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and continued to circulate the Great Yellow Court to repair his injuries.

It took him quite a while to get up and look around.

The official road was already riddled with ravines and in a state of disrepair.

The reed marshes were also blasted into ruins by the lightning.

In the fierce battle, Ning Emei was seriously injured, and the Phoenix Battalion's light cavalry suffered seven deaths and twenty-eight injuries.

The three attendants, Lü Qiantang, Yang Qingfeng, and Shu Xiu, were all in a sorry state.

The maid Qingniao had already woken up and was busy applying medicine to treat the injured person's wounds.

The lightning and thunder overhead had long since passed, but the dark clouds had not yet dispersed.

A torrential downpour descended from the sky.

Xu Fengnian, carrying the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow, walked up to Han Shengxuan, who was now only a head and half a body, and chopped off the latter's head with a single sword stroke.

"Mother, I will not spare a single one of the remaining people!"

……

Beside the scattered village houses in the reed marshes, Huang Sanjia watched the raindrops falling from the sky, got up and left, grabbing a handful of common grass in his hand to use as divination blocks.

This is an ancient divination method. Yarrow stalks are readily available and can be picked anywhere, but not everyone can use them to glean the secrets of heaven. Therefore, of the eight ancient divination methods, including tortoise shell divination, yarrow stalk divination is the easiest to learn but the most difficult to master.

Huang Sanjia casually tore the yarrow stalks again and again, scattering them all over the ground, and walked out of the reed marsh.

He had just consulted the oracle, but he hadn't gotten anything out of it.

Just then, a girl carrying sunflowers, sitting on the back of a large black and white cat with dark circles under its eyes, jumped out of the reeds and kicked Huang Sanjia, sending him flying.

Clearly, this girl is Jia Jiajia, who had met Zhou Cheng'an once before at Qingcheng Mountain.

After being kicked face-first into the dirt, Huang Sanjia patted his butt, stood up, and said to Jia Jiajia, "Daughter, it's not that your father doesn't want you to kill that kid, it's just that there's a big variable in his life."

“Xu Fengnian was already a tough nut to crack, and now there’s another one surnamed Zhou. If you go, my daughter, I might never see you again.”

"Zhao Kai's luck was second only to that little girl from Western Chu, but a single bolt of lightning blasted him into nothingness."

"Alas, what a waste of the effort I put into catching a white snake and placing it in front of him back then."

"That Zhou guy is too ruthless. He really has no martial ethics. He is a sect leader and a person who should become an ancestor. How could he use such a heavy hand on a young boy like Xiao Bei?"

"And they turn on you so easily, they have no manners whatsoever as important figures."

"Girl, you should avoid that Zhou guy from now on."

Jia Jiajia jumped off the big cat's back and chuckled at Huang Sanjia, "There's always a chance."

Upon hearing this, Huang Sanjia said earnestly, "Daughter, it's better to be alive. Han Diaosi was killed by him with a single sword. Why don't you wait until I have passed on all the most life-saving martial arts I have learned in my life before you think about doing anything else?"

Jia Jiajia remained expressionless and chuckled.

Huang Sanjia looked helpless: "Never mind, just be careful."

"Don't cause trouble for Prince Jing'an. Zhao Heng is quite capable and lucky. Old Master Wang had no children in his life. Back then, he made an agreement with the late emperor that he would only recognize Zhao Heng as his half-adopted son."

"If things had gone as expected, the martial arts world should have been like the scholarly circles of the previous hundred years, with many talented people emerging and vying for supremacy. But now that someone surnamed Zhou has appeared, it's hard to say."

"I cast a divination, but I still couldn't figure out what Zhou's background is."

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from the heavens, and one is lost."

"That man surnamed Zhou is probably the one who escaped."

"Over the years, the pieces I've laid out have been broken by him in the blink of an eye. It's truly difficult to place a piece, but easy to overturn the chessboard."

"Let me remind you again, if you see that guy surnamed Zhou in the future, you really should take a detour."

"As for those guys in the first rank and fourth realm, those few who are expected to step into the realm of immortals, don't rush to make a move. Firstly, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill them, and secondly, I'm even more afraid that if you kill them, the martial world will become lifeless."

"Don't chuckle at me, and don't fake laughter. It gives me the creeps."

"Daughter, think about it. Wouldn't it be best to kill them after they've become legendary figures in the eyes of the world?"

"Once you've killed them back then, you should have a 30% chance of succeeding when you go to see that guy surnamed Zhou."

Jia Jiajia was taken aback and asked, "He's that strong?"

Huang Sanjia paused for a moment: "He is only at the Finger Profound Realm now, but he can already slay terrestrial immortals. His strength is no less than mine."

Jia Jiajia said "Oh," and then added, "I've already met him."

Huang Sanjia looked surprised and hurriedly asked, "When?"

"When we were at Qingcheng Mountain."

"You fought him?" Huang Sanjia pressed.

Jia Jiajia shook her head: "No, he played a tune, said a few words to me, and then left."

Huang Sanjia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. He probably didn't intend to do anything to you, otherwise your father wouldn't be able to see you again."

"He is my friend."

It was probably the first time Huang Sanjia had heard the word "friend" from Jia Jiajia's mouth. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He looked up at the dark, cloud-covered sky.

"It looks like this rain will last for quite a while."

The rain fell like soybeans, plunging the world into chaos.

Huang Sanjia suddenly laughed, as if he had just thought of something.

"The thunderbolts may kill Qi Xuanzhen, but they can't kill me. My daughter, let me tell you a secret: I am a god. No matter how ruthless that Zhou fellow is, I am not afraid of him."

Jia Jiajia chuckled, kicked Huang Sanjia to the ground, and uttered three words.

"I do not believe!"
