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

As the saying goes, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze." Now that they are mortal enemies, Sun Yao will not let go of the opportunity to eliminate them completely.

Almost instantly after escaping the cycle of spiritual reincarnation, Sun Yao pinpointed the direction in which Mongchixing and Hulagu had fled—northwest of the capital, towards the grasslands. Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's belief that the emperor should guard the nation's borders, the Ming Dynasty, after its successful establishment, only allowed a few years of respite before moving its capital to its current location.

It was precisely because of the relocation of the capital that the present-day capital of the Ming Dynasty resembles the Eight-Armed Nezha City designed by Liu Bowen. However, this relocation of the capital was both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage was that it allowed for timely knowledge of the movements of foreign tribes and the ability to react promptly. The disadvantage was that the capital was too close to the frontier; if a major war broke out, the capital could very well fall to the enemy within days.

The Ming Dynasty in the original historical timeline had experienced a similar situation, and it was only thanks to Yu Qian, the Junior Protector, that the Ming Dynasty was saved from crisis.

However, in this current timeline, Yu Shaobao hasn't even entered officialdom yet. Or rather, in this current timeline, it's uncertain whether Yu Shaobao has even been born.

As Sun Yao pondered this, he flew on his sword, transforming into a streak of sword light as he chased after the two. This sword-flying technique, in fact, was derived from the Shu Mountain Sword Control Technique. To be honest, Sun Yao had practically exhausted all the sword manuals of Shu Mountain during his deductions. This sword control technique was originally deduced by Sun Yao from the art of object manipulation, but deduction always needs a relatively clear direction. When it comes to sword control, is there any sword control method more famous than the Shu Mountain Sword Control Technique?

Sword control is the foundation of the Shu Mountain Sword Techniques. It allows one to control the sword with their inner energy, enabling the sword to travel through the air and float freely, taking lives from a thousand miles away. Sword flight is the flying method within this technique, also known as sword escape, which is an escape technique that harnesses sword light. One can ride a beam of sword light and fly, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

Even with the help of Bashiba, how could Meng Chixing and Hulagu possibly match the speed of those flying on swords? In just a few breaths, the sword light that Sun Yao had transformed into had already caught up with the two who were speeding northwest.

"The show isn't over yet, where are you two planning to go?"

Sun Yao's voice rang in their ears, and both of them suddenly slowed down. However, Meng Chixing was clearly faster than Hulagu. Meng Chixing pushed Hulagu from behind with a palm strike, sending him flying further northwest.

"Hul-eul, live on! Return to the Great Yuan and tell the Great Khan that Mongchixing cannot return! Great Khan, Mongchixing has repaid the debt owed to the Borjigin family!"

After shouting loudly, Meng Chixing turned to look at Sun Yao in mid-air, "Master, do you really want to kill us all? If you can spare Hulagu's life today, I, Meng Chixing, will surrender and let you do as you please!"

Although Meng Chixing said this, his hands did not stop moving, and he suddenly activated the Tibetan Secret Intelligence Book. Although he could activate the Tibetan Secret Intelligence Book, his mental strength was no longer enough to support him in a prolonged battle. He was staying now, already prepared to use his own life to delay Sun Yao's advance.

“Meng Chixing, you, who call yourself a member of the Demonic Sect, should know this saying: ‘What is their hero is my enemy.’ Whether it is you, Bashiba, or Hulagu, I admire them all as opponents. However, our different positions mean that we are destined to be enemies, not friends. As the terrestrial immortal of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, how could I let such a formidable enemy escape back?”

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

"Of course, there was nothing to discuss from the very beginning."

The moment Sun Yao finished speaking, Meng Chixing soared into the sky and charged towards him. Empowered by the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom book, Meng Chixing's physical body was as indestructible as metal, and the punches and kicks he unleashed were exceptionally powerful. With every movement, Meng Chixing unleashed the Eighteen Returning Soul Claws of the Demonic Appearance Sect, one of the six paths of the demonic sects. Each claw aimed at Sun Yao's vital points; a wound to the throat or heart would be fatal to anyone.

"The Eighteen Claws of the Returning Soul of the Demonic Image Sect? It seems that the Demonic Sect of the Outer Realms was indeed formed by the combination of the Demonic Image Sect and the Extinction of Emotions. No wonder Zhao Deyan, the Demonic Commander of the Great Sui Demonic Sect, chose to go to the borderlands and serve as the National Preceptor of the Eastern Turks as a Han Chinese, joining forces with the mere Turks."

As Sun Yao spoke, he extended his hand. For an opponent he considered worthy of respect, Sun Yao chose to defeat him with equal skill. This was only possible because he possessed a diverse range of skills; otherwise, who would be so pretentious? With a slight lift of his right hand, a dragon claw formed from condensed spiritual energy converged on his right arm. He used this true dragon claw to counter Meng Chixing's Eighteen Returning Soul Claws, a claw-to-claw exchange, a gesture of respect for his opponent.

While the Demonic Image Sect's Eighteen Returning Soul Claws are indeed powerful, they are still far inferior to the True Dragon Claws. Moreover, Meng Chixing is severely injured at this moment; how could he possibly be a match for Sun Yao? Furthermore, the spiritual power cultivated by cultivators is far superior to the true qi of martial artists.

In their clash, Meng Chixing quickly found himself at a disadvantage. The power of Sun Yao's Eighteen Returning Soul Claws was shattered by the True Dragon Claws. However, thanks to the Tibetan Secret Intelligence Book, Sun Yao's True Dragon Claws couldn't immediately crush Meng Chixing's hand. But this was only a matter of time; Meng Chixing was now unable to fight back or escape, making him nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter for Sun Yao.

Just as Sun Yao continued to exert his strength, preparing to crush Meng Chixing's palm with the True Dragon Claw and shatter the power of the Hidden Secret Intelligent Book, a huge explosion suddenly came from the direction of the capital. Immediately afterwards, a fiery red figure that stretched from the sky to the ground suddenly appeared in the capital.

The figure, besides its original appearance, also possessed three heads and six arms, wielding a fire-tipped spear, a Qiankun ring, a demon-slaying sword, a demon-chopping knife, a demon-binding rope, a demon-subduing pestle, an embroidered ball, and a fire wheel. Wrapped in a Hun Tian Ling (a type of sash), standing on wind-fire wheels, and dressed in lotus leaf robes, this was none other than the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, Nezha, the Third Prince.

However, this was not summoned by Sun Yao using the Summoning God Token, but rather the Dharma form that appeared after the Eight-Armed Nezha Formation that Sun Yao had set up in the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few days ago was artificially activated.

"Something's wrong! Something's happened in the capital! Meng Chixing, how many men do you have left? And what are your plans?!"

Sun Yao turned his head to look at Meng Chixing in his hand, but Meng Chixing just smiled faintly, and it seemed that he had no intention of telling Sun Yao.

"Fine, fine, if you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. As for Kyoto, I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble right under my nose!"
