One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

"Everyone says that the Furious Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian only has three moves, and it seems that this is your first move. You only have three sword techniques, and you used your first move to block my flying sword. Let's see how you block the rest."

Emperor Ku's festival is the 24th day of the first lunar month, the day of the Awakening of Insects

Sun Yao used the sword technique he had comprehended from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, specifically the one from Emperor Ku. This sword technique is called "Twenty-Four Solar Terms," ​​derived from the twenty-four solar terms established by Emperor Ku. This sword technique has twenty-four variations, each of which is derived from one of the twenty-four solar terms.

For example, the "Awakening of Insects" sword strike that Sun Yao is using now is derived from the "Awakening of Insects" solar term in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. This sword strike is flashing with lightning and even draws upon the thunderous power hidden between heaven and earth that is imperceptible to mortals.

The sword strike was incredibly fast and powerful. Before Yan Zhantian could even react, Sun Yao's "Awakening of Insects" had already pierced through his body. Yan Zhantian was raising his sword to block Sun Yao's attack when he unexpectedly found a bloody hole in his chest, pierced by the flying sword.

Although Sun Yao's sword strike didn't kill him outright, it pierced his lung. Combined with the thunderous power contained in Jingzhe's sword strike, his life would be over in an instant.

As Yan Zhantian's Po Jun sword fell, he instantly knelt on one knee, barely able to support himself with the sword. But the next second, Yan Zhantian made an incomprehensible move: he gathered his inner strength in his right hand and pressed it against his chest.

Everyone else couldn't understand it, but only Sun Yao, who delivered the fatal blow, understood his plan.

"Impressive tactics, Angry Sword Immortal. You just want to fight me to the death? My sword just now could have pierced your chest and shattered your heart. I was just giving you some time to die so you could say your last words. Don't push your luck, or I could just crush you to death."

It is clear that Yan Zhantian pressed his internal energy to his chest to prevent the thunderous power from the Jingzhe sword strike from causing a fatal attack on his heart.

Doing so wouldn't have much effect; it could only delay death for a moment, allowing him to unleash his last bit of power and unleash a fleeting moment of sword immortal splendor.

"Hahahaha, what last words do I have to say? As long as my ultimate sword immortal strike can reach Master Sun, I can die with a smile on my face! With a rage, I will slay him!"

In his words, he had reached the pinnacle of his abilities, pouring all his life's skills into this single, furious sword strike.

He was a sword immortal, yet he was always ridiculed for only having three signature moves. But it was with these three moves that he defeated countless swordsmen, thus earning him the title of the Furious Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian.

Now he also wanted to test whether the sword strike he had unleashed with his entire life could actually harm the immortal before him.

"I was wrong. You are, after all, a sword immortal. Even if we are enemies, I should give you the final respect given to someone like a sword immortal."

As Sun Yao spoke, the Candle Dragon Sword returned to his right hand.

"Since that's the case, I will give you the utmost respect. Letting you die at the hands of a land-based sword immortal will at least preserve your dignity as a sword immortal."

The Tang Yao Calendar's Four Seasons: Winter!

Emperor Yao's calendar system clearly defined the four seasons, and this sword has four variations, each corresponding to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It is derived from Emperor Yao's achievement of establishing the four seasons and calendar system, which is similar to Emperor Ku's establishment of the twenty-four solar terms, but the power and effects are different.

Take the Winter Sword as an example. When the Winter Sword struck, it stirred up the frosty sky, making it bitterly cold. Endless cold air surged forth, transforming into icy sword energy that slashed directly at Yan Zhantian.

The rage sword energy unleashed by Yan Zhantian's furious sword strike was frozen by the endless icy aura, falling directly into scattered ice fragments in mid-air.

Dong's frost-cold sword energy continued its trajectory, directly slicing through Yan Zhantian. Interestingly, after this strike, Yan Zhantian showed no signs of injury, but he was instantly frozen solid before everyone's eyes.

“A sword immortal should die a sword immortal’s death. Using a sword immortal as a sacrifice was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I have given you dignity. So go in peace.”

Sun Yao slowly walked to Yan Zhantian's side, who was frozen in place, and gently pushed him with his finger. Yan Zhantian, who had turned into an ice sculpture, fell backward.

With a snap, Yan Zhantian, frozen into an ice sculpture, turned into fragments. This enormous sword immortal was reduced to countless pieces on the ground in the blink of an eye.

To be fair, the Sword Immortal's Flag Offering move did indeed achieve the effect Sun Yao wanted. The crowd's gazes towards Sun Yao sharpened once more. They had thought they already knew how terrifying this Master Sun was, but they hadn't expected that what he had shown was probably only a fraction of what he was capable of.

After all, even the people of Dark River thought that his strength was just like that "the sword arrives before the man, and the sword energy fills the hillside" just now. But they did not expect that the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique would appear later, and there was also the matter of Yan Zhantian.

Even Su Changhe, the patriarch of the Dark River Clan, dares not speculate on Sun Yao's true strength. After all, the sword energy that filled the hillside just now was less than one-tenth of Tang Yao's sword strike.

But who can say for sure that Tang Yao's sword strike was Sun Yao's full strength?

Sun Yao is like an unsolvable mystery. You think you've peeled back the layers of fog, but in reality, there are even deeper layers of fog within the fog.

Su Changhe had stopped thinking about whether Dark River could break free from Sun Yao's control, and was now thinking about how to give Dark River more autonomy under Sun Yao's command.

Sun Yao is a powerful and unpredictable person. Just now, right in front of him, Sun Yao smiled and said, "When the mood strikes, I'll kill a sword immortal to consecrate the flag."

Given this kind of person, Su Changhe no longer hoped to escape from his clutches. Furthermore, the fact that he had given Anhe the opportunity to live openly and honestly was exactly what Su Changhe had sought all his life.

Regardless of how Su Changhe viewed Sun Yao, after Sun Yao pushed down Yan Zhantian, who had turned into an ice sculpture, he returned to the archway of Lei Family Fortress.

"I said I would slay a sword immortal to appease the flag, and now that the sword immortal has been slain, it's time to appease the flag. They have all made their choices. General Ye, what about yours?"

As Sun Yao spoke, he looked at Ye Xiaoying. Of all the people present today, Ye Xiaoying was the most indispensable part of Sun Yao's plan.

"Can this real person truly guarantee that the case against the Prince of Langya can be overturned? Can he guarantee the young prince a life of wealth, honor, and freedom?"

“I can certainly guarantee that, and the emperor I have chosen is Xiao Chuhe. Don’t you believe him? He gave up his position as a prince and sacrificed his cultivation at the Xiaoyao Heaven Realm in order to exonerate his uncle, the Prince of Langya. But look at him, he still has no regrets.”

After Sun Yao finished speaking, Ye Xiaoying also looked at Xiao Chuhe. Xiao Chuhe looked at Ye Xiaoying's murderous gaze without flinching, his conscience clear and his heart at peace.

"Alright, you don't need to test my new disciple anymore. The Prince of Langya is of great significance to you, and the same is true for him. You should know that he has been learning from his Uncle Prince of Langya since he was a few years old, and his feelings for the Prince of Langya are even greater than his feelings for his father."

"Rest assured, Master. From now on, the entire Ye family army will respect Prince Yong'an and will definitely help him ascend to the throne!"
