Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Western Region

"I do have some seniority, don't I?"

"Can you be quiet now?"

When Mao Du saw the tribal chieftains, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Upon seeing the tribal chief, a sense of closeness arises spontaneously.

Although the Tantric practitioners were very strong, they were ultimately not one of our own.

Now that he sees his own people, he will naturally feel close to them.

"Yes! Yes!"

"That treacherous Chanyu, those bastards from the Imperial Dynasty, they've gone too far!"

The five Martial Venerables knelt down immediately, not feeling ashamed at all. In fact, the Deer King knelt down next to Mao Du, hugged his thighs with both hands, and began to wail.

A dignified Martial Venerable, at this moment, resembled a child.

The prestige of the Son of Heaven and Chanyu was probably equivalent to that of a phoenix in the Western Regions.

Even a thousand years later, there is a group of foreign bastards who shamelessly call themselves descendants of the fierce slaves and worship poisonous beasts.

Little did they know that if the poison were to come back to life, they would be the first to be killed.

"Chanyu, you must stand up for us!"

The other martial masters were also in tears.

The tribal elites behind them dismounted and knelt on one knee to show their respect for the Chanyu.

"Alright, I didn't bring you out here to cry."

"The current dynasty is a hundred times more troublesome than the one you had back then."

Mao Du looked at the five kings in front of him, and shook his head with a smile.

"what?"

The Deer King immediately stopped crying.

However, there was no fear in the Deer King's eyes; on the contrary, his expression was solemn and filled with murderous intent.

Crying is one thing, but when faced with serious matters like this, one should abandon weak emotions.

Children of the grasslands can cry and laugh, but they must not be afraid.

This is an instinct that inevitably arises in a world where the strong prey on the weak.

If they were afraid, their fate would be to be devoured by other tribes on the grasslands.

This is the ironclad rule of the grasslands.

The greatest enemies of the tribes in the Western Regions were sometimes not the imperial dynasty, but natural disasters and the covetousness of other tribes.

What is the current state of the dynasty?

The other martial masters quickly stood up and looked at the poison.

"In the present dynasty, humans, soldiers, and gods are all present, martial arts masters are everywhere, and ancient monsters rule the world."

"It's much more complicated than it was back then."

He chuckled lightly as he spoke, as if discussing the pleasant weather.

But the other martial masters gasped in shock upon hearing this.

They didn't quite understand some of the other things.

But Xuan Qin, they understood it all too well.

They were beaten so badly that they dared not go south to graze their horses.

Even if you've never met a human butcher, you've heard of them.

Whether attacking or defending a city, whether facing it from the front or the side, it is an invincible force.

The siege resulted in the drowning of the Chu army, and they even set fire to the ancestral tombs of the Chu people.

The 120,000 soldiers guarding Hangu Pass turned the tables and annihilated the 240,000-strong army.

That's not human.

Now tell them they're going to fight a butcher?

The Empire's two pillars, one offensive and one defensive, are combined into the Butcher's offense and defense.

How to fight this?

"Human slaughter is not even considered serious."

He shook his head and chuckled, seemingly disgusted.

"Not...not serious?"

Upon hearing this, the five kings' eyes cleared.

Should the Chanyu listen to what he has to say?

"Let's go to the main hall of the Tantric sect."

"Let me explain to you in detail what the world is like today."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Upon hearing this, the five kings quickly followed.

Esoteric Buddhism, main hall.

As soon as the martial masters arrived, they saw the martial masters of the Tantric sect listening to Gray Flower's words.

They all looked up at the dark sky.

Only then did the five kings notice the existence of the Great Dark Heaven.

An unparalleled pressure made them all catch their breath.

"Chanyu, with such a divine artifact guarding us, how could we possibly lose?"

The Eagle King stared at the dark sky, his eyes blazing with fire.

The other four leaders also had burning eyes.

"Not enough for Prince An to cut with one stroke."

Prince An, who was contemplating his battle with Ya Yu, chuckled softly.

"?"

The five martial masters were completely dumbfounded.

What does it mean to be "not even worth a single blow"?

"Afterwards, if the patriarch of the secret teachings were to appear in the world, there might be a chance to fight him."

The Tantric master slowly turned his head and looked at the poisoner.

"I understand."

Mao Du nodded slightly.

"The patriarchs knew where the secret treasure cave was located."

“It can be used to make offerings to the sacred pool.”

The Tantric master then spoke.

After listening to Grayflower's account of the current state of affairs, they understood that this was truly a battle for survival.

The five kings were all astonished. How could this group of Tantric Buddhists be so generous?

Then, coming to their senses, their expressions became extremely solemn.

The fact that these stingy people in the Tantric sect could act like this means that things have really gotten serious.

“Grey and white flowers, tell them about the current state of the world.”

"Yes."

"Gentlemen, Chanyu..."

......

Prince An's Mansion, Tianxing Martial Arts Arena

"The underworld is approaching."

Li Junsu slightly raised his hand, and in the next instant, the world changed color.

Fengdu City rose from the ground, and the scene of the underworld reappeared.

This time, the underworld exploded again, revealing a complex scene of blood moon, dark sea, and netherworld.

With just a wave of his hand, Li Junsu created a tapestry of dozens of artistic conceptions.

"good."

"How does it feel?"

Houtu watched this scene with satisfaction and then asked a question.

"It feels...very good."

Li Junsu savored the feeling of unleashing his killing move and carefully considered his words.

This time, he relied entirely on his divine sense to gather his origin and directly resonate with heaven and earth.

With that one move, it seemed as if the underworld had truly appeared in the world.

Of course, this is just a phantom.

If the underworld were to truly explode, it would undoubtedly be another catastrophe for the entire world.

"Five Sacred Mountains Abyss".

Li Junsu raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

The shadows of the Five Sacred Mountains appeared instantly, rushing out with overwhelming pressure.

The mountain crashed into the void and then exploded with a deafening roar.

In the void, fragments of time flew everywhere.

"This move can also accommodate Wang Wei. Afterwards, the spirits of the sun and moon can be added, along with the spirits of immortal charm. With one palm strike, it might be able to evolve into an immortal mountain."

"The Five Sacred Mountains transformed into an immortal mountain, shattered with a single palm strike..."

Li Junsu had made up his mind.

He discovered that Taoist arts were very lethal and more adaptable.

It is even more elusive than a martial arts killing move.

The only drawback might be that if one focuses solely on Taoist arts and their physical strength doesn't keep up, they could be in serious trouble if a physically strong person gets close to them.

Most martial artists don't have the talent to have both.

Many people have no choice but to specialize in building only one type of road.

For them, specializing in Taoist arts naturally has its drawbacks.

For those who prioritize physical strength, as they cultivate to a point where their blood and energy become so abundant that they can no longer perceive the myriad spirits.

All spirits prefer places rich in spiritual energy, and those with strong physiques absorb spiritual energy to nourish their bones, muscles, and blood.

It's hard for all spirits to be attracted.

Of course, such restrictions do not apply to Prince An.

His vital energy directly transformed into death energy, which was itself one of the innate origins.

Although he doesn't attract all spirits, his Dao Sea makes up for this deficiency.

Dao Hai can now transform death energy into spiritual seawater.

This was incredibly appealing to all spirits.

"Perhaps... I can use the innate spirits of the five elements to attract other innate spirits, and then slowly spread them until I can absorb all spirits."

Li Junsu felt the activity of the innate spirit and murmured to himself.

At the same time, he looked at the ring on his little finger.

Perhaps... even the most subtle expressions of affection can play a role here.

“It seems possible to nurture them with the innate spirit of the five elements and turn them into heavenly soldiers who can enhance Taoist magic.”

Li Junsu murmured to himself.
