Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

The visitor was none other than Xiao Zheng, the leader of the Shengwu Immortal Sect and the Great Emperor of the Tianwu Empire. His expression was solemn, his gaze piercing as he rapidly analyzed the situation. While the Shengwu Immortal Sect possessed a large membership, its lack of high-end combat power was an unavoidable shortcoming. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, speculating that the enemy might be unable to withstand his full-strength attack. Furthermore, with the two peerless immortal swords, the allure was simply too great.

The Emperor gritted his teeth, determined to go all in. With a wave of his hand, he led the remaining Shadow Guards, the Golden Guards, and all the high-level combatants, save for the ancestor who was in seclusion, through a portal and instantly arrived at the battlefield. He looked at Su Nan, his eyes filled with desire for the immortal sword, his determination to obtain it clear, even if it meant using the Holy Martial Immortal Sect's secret technique—the Star Sword Formation.

The Star Sword Formation, a unique skill passed down from an ancestor, requires thirty-six individuals of equal skill to form it. While incredibly powerful, if executed by someone of a lower level, the person setting it up would suffer significant damage, potentially preventing their advancement. However, Xiao Zheng couldn't afford to sacrifice anything more than this. He specifically prepared the Golden Guards, specifically trained to perform the Star Sword Formation. These Golden Guards were meticulously trained elites, and they shouldn't be easily defeated. But in Xiao Zheng's eyes, the pursuit of the Immortal Sword was worth every price.

In addition, there's the Shadow Guards' combined attack—Star Strike. Eighteen Shadow Guards gather their strength, one after another striking the same spot with their daggers. This combined attack is designed specifically for dealing with bound enemies with exceptionally high defense, and its power should not be underestimated. However, it also has a fatal flaw: no Shadow Guard can survive this attack. This is because, upon launching the daggers, their bodies simultaneously explode, not only at the point of impact. This means that if the enemy's defenses are strong enough, they'll be hit by thirty-six of the Shadow Guards' desperate attacks.

Xiao Zheng's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at Su Nan coldly. He secretly swore in his heart that he would get the magic sword today, no matter how great the price.

Xiao Zheng took a step forward, staring intently at Su Nan, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, as long as you hand over the sword, I can agree to some conditions and forgive the past."

Su Nan crossed his arms and sneered, "Humph, you're quite calculating. I have plenty of immortal swords, and it wouldn't be a problem for me to give you one, but you've repeatedly tried to take it by force. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Xiao Zheng's face darkened and he said, "Who on earth are you? How dare you be so arrogant!"

Su Nan straightened his back, his eyes sharp, and said loudly: "You can call me the Immortal Lord Zihuan!"

When Xiao Zheng heard this, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. He said thoughtfully, "Immortal Lord Zihuan? I seem to have heard this title somewhere before, but I can't remember it for the moment."

Su Nan sneered, "Hmph, can't remember? That's because you're ignorant! If you know what's good for you today and retreat quickly, I'll spare your life! Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"

Xiao Zheng's face was gloomy, and he kept pondering the memory of the "Purple Huan Immortal Lord", but he still had no clue. However, his pride as an emperor made him unwilling to show weakness easily. He still said firmly: "No matter what kind of immortal lord you are, this immortal sword is what I am determined to obtain today!"

Xiao Zheng waved his hand, signaling, "Deploy the formation!" The Golden Guards and Shadow Guards quickly took their positions, and the two battle formations were quickly deployed. But Xiao Zheng didn't rush them into action. He figured that as a powerful cultivator at the early stages of the Guiyi stage, he should be more than capable of dealing with the Purple Huan Immortal Lord, who was only at the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation stage.

Xiao Zheng's eyes revealed confidence and majesty. He took a step forward, ready to take action himself. He said coldly, "Immortal Master Zihuan, today I will let you witness my strength!"

Su Nan just smiled slightly, without any fear in his expression.

Xiao Zheng gathered spiritual energy in his hands, a gleam of light flashing, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions. The Golden Guards and Shadow Guards stood in full formation, waiting for the Emperor's command to launch a full-scale attack.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was extremely tense, as if even the air was about to freeze.

Xiao Zheng launched the attack first. He swung his hands violently, and a beam of powerful spiritual energy, as bright as the scorching sun, instantly whistled out from his palms, carrying a devastating aura towards Su Nan. Wherever the beam passed, tiny cracks were torn into space, making a crackling sound.

Su Nan's figure was as nimble as a ghost. With a slight twist of her waist, like a willow branch in the wind, she easily avoided the fierce attack by a hair's breadth. Then, she quickly formed seals with her hands, her finger movements changing like flying flowers. A vast spiritual power like the vast ocean surged out from her palms, transforming into a roaring dragon, rushing towards Xiao Zheng with bared fangs and claws.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng remained calm, a solemn expression flashing across his eyes. He raised his hands, muttering something, and instantly erected a spiritual shield as solid as steel. Runes shimmered and shone on the shield. Su Nan's spiritual dragon collided with the shield, emitting a deafening roar. The powerful impact caused ripples in the surrounding air.

After several rounds, the two sides were evenly matched, neither gaining a clear advantage. Xiao Zheng was secretly surprised. He had originally thought that although Su Nan was strong, she would be unable to withstand his strength at the initial stage of Guiyi. However, he had not expected her to be able to handle his attacks so calmly. Su Nan was also wary. This emperor was indeed a powerful person at the initial stage of Guiyi. Every move and every style contained terrifying power and exquisite technique.

Xiao Zheng roared, his voice resounding like thunder from the heavens. His spiritual energy surged like a blazing flame, its light too dazzling to be looked at. He unleashed an even more powerful and complex attack. With the movement of his hands, his spiritual energy transformed into countless razor-sharp blades, piercing Su Nan with a dense mass.

Su Nan showed no fear. A determined light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She danced her hands rapidly, and her spiritual power formed a huge vortex in front of her, trying to draw the swords into it. The spiritual power of both sides collided fiercely again, erupting in a dazzling light, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

Their battle destabilized the surrounding space. A howling wind blew like the roars of countless ferocious beasts. Sand and rocks flew, dust filled the air, and the earth trembled slightly. The Golden Guards and Shadow Guards watched from afar, their expressions utterly tense, sweat dripping down their foreheads. They gripped their weapons tightly, ready to intervene at Xiao Zheng's command.
