Travel through the heavens

Xu Fengnian couldn't understand why the woman in blue could see through Jiang Ni's identity at a glance. Was it because of the mysterious and obscure fate that leaked the secret, or was it because the little clay figurine looked too much like his parents, the Emperor and Empress of Western Chu?

Of course, none of this matters nowadays.

Xu Fengnian moved his position, approached Fang Muye and asked, "Is Cao Changqing's martial arts really as amazing as the world boasts?"

Fang Muye nodded and chuckled, "Incredibly powerful, incredibly strong."

The world of martial arts is always changing, and even if one is gifted, he can usually only be at the top for ten to twenty years, and thirty years is the limit.

There have been some strange things in the past hundred years. A Huang Longshi appeared in the chess world, and Wang Xianzhi was stationed in the East China Sea Wu Emperor City in the martial arts world. These are truly once-in-a-century events, and cannot be compared with the so-called once-in-a-century disasters that are rampant in the world.

Apart from these two guys who are both immortal and demon, the general trend is that the latecomers are ahead.

After the old sword god Li Chungang retired from the world, the sword art only experienced a brief period of darkness, and soon the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a emerged and took the lead in the sword art.

Among the Confucian scholars, the man in blue is the leader of the time and unrivaled in the world. Even the old sword god would be at a disadvantage if he met Cao Guanzi, who is at the peak of his cultivation.

How can the praise people give him be flattery? It is just well-deserved.

Xu Fengnian lowered his voice and asked again: "Can you beat him?"

Fang Muye laughed again: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still in the Celestial Realm."

Although realm does not represent everything, there are always people in the martial arts world who can cross the realm to kill the enemy. For example, the human cat Han Diaosi, although he is in the Zhixuan realm, he has realized the Zhixuan secret technique that can cut off the connection between heaven and man in the Tianxiang realm, so he is extremely good at killing Tianxiang.

But Fang Muye himself has the ability to cross the border to fight the enemy, and I think there is no one in the snowy world who can cross the border and defeat him.

When Xu Fengnian heard this, he immediately felt relieved. He had a feeling that Cao Changqing might have come with bad intentions.

On the other side, after hearing what Cao Changqing said, Jiang Ni felt a little distraught and at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Yu Youwei beside her.

Feeling and noticing Jiang Ni's confusion, Cao Changqing was not disappointed, but only felt inexplicable grief and self-blame. He did not stand up and remained kneeling on the ground.

Fang Muye saw that his temples were already gray, but this did not diminish the unparalleled elegance and grace of the talented and romantic Cao Guanzi. Thinking of his rough life, this loyal minister of Western Chu seemed to have the demeanor of a first-class celebrity.

But Cao Changqing said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is a daughter of gold, but Xu Fengnian treats her as a maid. This humiliation is felt by me, and my heart is burning. Your Highness has been in the hands of the enemy until now, and I have never heard of it. This is a serious crime. Fortunately, we meet again today, and I will use Xu Fengnian's head to relieve your Highness's hatred."

When Xu Fengnian heard this, his scalp went numb and his eyes widened. He immediately hid behind Fang Muye.

Jiang Ni said hurriedly: "You recognized the wrong person."

Cao Changqing slowly stood up and looked at the princess who was just a lively little girl in his memory. He said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness may have forgotten that I met Your Highness when I was doing the chess edict in the palace. Although it has been a long time, I can never mistake anyone in the world, but I can never mistake Your Highness the Princess."

Jiang Ni fell into deep thought. The childhood memories that had been sealed for a long time slowly flowed out like water breaking through ice. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at Cao Changqing and said softly, "Uncle Qi Zhao."

Cao Changqing was filled with mixed feelings, but he finally smiled with relief: "Your Highness, wait a moment. I will kill this man first."

He turned around and looked at Xu Fengnian who was standing behind Fang Muye with a sharp gaze.

Jiang Ni was startled and shouted, "Uncle Qi Zhao, he treats me well."

Cao Changqing's cold voice rang out: "Your Highness has been deceived."

He opened his right hand slightly, dust rose up, and a tornado appeared with a bang.

Circles of fierce energy swirled away with Cao Changqing's blue robe as the center. The long sleeves of the people around him fluttered suddenly, and those who were close could not withstand the pressure and were forced back several steps by the invisible energy that was rushing towards them.

However, when this strong energy reached three feet in front of Fang Muye, it encountered an invisible barrier and was completely blocked, unable to advance even a bit.

It was as if there was an invisible circle that divided the Baoguo Temple into two worlds. Outside the circle was a world of murderous intent, while inside the circle was quiet and peaceful.

"Are you Wen Hua who shot and killed Wang Mingyin?" Cao Changqing's cold voice sounded again.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "It's me."

Cao Changqing said calmly: "I don't want to kill you, please leave."

He seemed to value talent, so he didn't want to fight with Fang Muye, but these words did seem to underestimate Fang Muye.

Fang Muye didn't care at all and still maintained a faint smile: "Can't retreat."

Cao Changqing didn't say anything else. He clenched his fists suddenly, and the fierce energy that was swirling around became stronger, and the number of tornadoes increased from one to two.

He walked straight towards Fang Muye, and dozens of crisscrossing gullies instantly appeared on the ground between them. The gullies were cracked and shocking, but when they spread to three feet in front of Fang Muye, they stopped abruptly as if the strong energy was blocked.

Cao Changqing said calmly: "Wang Mingyin's defeat was not unfair. You are one of the top five in the martial arts evaluation."

He spoke but his feet did not stop.

The further the blue-robed scholar walked, the thicker the lines on the ground became.

Fang Muye had a relaxed and carefree look on his face, allowing Cao Changqing to come in again and again, and just smiled proudly and said, "More than the top five."

Cao Changqing smiled softly: "Young people are to be feared."

Masters compete with each other, fighting wits, courage, strength, and even more heart.

Cao Changqing had a life of ups and downs. Confucianists are good at cultivating righteousness. After his country was destroyed, he fought against the emperor's wrath as an ordinary man. He did not use any weapons, did not wear any armor, and went in and out of the palace three times in a green robe. His mind and heart were undoubtedly much tougher and broader than those of ordinary warriors. There is no doubt that he was invincible.

After Wang Xianzhi became invincible in the world, he built a city in the East China Sea and a Jiebing Tower. There were six floors below the top floor, and six martial slaves were stationed there to deal with challengers from all over the world.

Generally, a top master would rest for a while after defeating another person, and fight again when his energy and spirit were fully restored. Even someone as domineering as Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a, who could defeat the enemy in a snap of his fingers, still withdrew from the Jiebing Tower after winning, and fought for half a day. After three days, he defeated six people before reaching the top of the tower. Only Cao Changqing fought for two consecutive days and reached the top in one fell swoop. It is said that he was still calm and composed when facing Wang Xianzhi, and was praised as having a powerful aura second only to Qi Xuanzhen who ascended to heaven.

But Cao Changqing's aura continued to rise, becoming more and more majestic and powerful, reaching its peak.

When they were only ten steps away from Fang Muye, Jiang Ni said timidly, "Uncle Qizhao, can you please stop fighting?"

As the words fell, the dust and fallen leaves were blown away like ripples. Cao Qingyi, who was in the middle, turned to Jiang Ni and said in a gentle voice, "Cao Changqing will follow your orders."
