The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Chu Xiu, you have some nerve!"

Aren't you afraid that once you come to Xuzhou, you won't be able to go back?

Yang Xuance stared at Chu Xiu with murderous intent in his eyes and said in a chilling tone.

"afraid?"

"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come!"

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and looked at Yang Xuance.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until the great era of contention truly arrived before taking action against you, so that you could live a few more days."

"Since you insist on coming to me yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yang Xuance sneered, raised his halberd in his right hand, and shouted with overwhelming killing intent, "Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

One after another, figures rose into the air from Xuzhou city and appeared in the sky, surrounding Chu Xiu and more than 8,000 elite Jinyiwei guards in a formation.

then!

A buzzing sound echoed between heaven and earth.

One after another, enormous stars appeared in the sky.

The sky was filled with stars, dazzling and incredibly bright.

Rays of starlight descended from the sky, making tens of thousands of Star Guardians, including Yang Xuance, appear as if they were all immortals or gods.

Yang Xuance was adorned with a star-studded celestial robe, surrounded by celestial stars, and wore a crown, making him appear as if he were the reincarnation of the Ziwei Star Lord!

"Is this the Zhou Tian Star Array?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, feeling as if he were in a vast and boundless starry sky, where every star exuded an incomparably terrifying aura.

In particular, Yang Xuance, who transformed into the Ziwei Star Lord, possessed an aura that far surpassed the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

"Ghostly Halberd Technique, First Form: Netherworld Mountain Split! Kill!"

With a flick of his halberd, Yang Xuance transformed into a golden light and charged towards Chu Xiu.

This strike shattered the starry sky; a single blow could cleave the heavens!

At this moment, Yang Xuance displayed strength that was dozens of times greater than when he fought Chu Xiu before!

"Killing Blade Formation!"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, clenched his right hand, and the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade appeared in his palm. He spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

Zheng!

The words just fell!

More than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards drew their swords in perfect unison and formed a killing formation with Chu Xiu.

With a thought, Chu Xiu transformed into an enormous deity, wielding a massive sword hundreds of feet long, and slashed at Yang Xuance.

With this strike, Chu Xiu used the first strike of the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade, Breaking the Sun and Opening the Heavens!

Not bad.

Yang Xuance attacked with the first move of the Ghost God Halberd Technique, and Chu Xiu attacked with the first strike of the Taiqing Zhenyue Saber.

As the blade rose, a golden light tore through the clouds, and the blade's energy condensed into a blazing red sun. Before the blade even arrived, stars throughout the night sky shattered.

Where the blade flashed, day and night were reversed, and the laws of nature began to emerge!

Rumble!

A deafening roar reverberated throughout the entire world!

The starry sky seemed about to shatter completely.

Both Chu Xiu and Yang Xuance were sent flying backwards.

"Chu Xiu, I really underestimated you!"

"The Imperial Guards' killing blade formation is very powerful!"

Yang Xuance stared at Chu Xiu with an extremely solemn expression and said coldly, "However, your strength is not enough!"

"is it?"

"Yang Xuance, let's not test each other's strength anymore."

"Why don't we just show our true skills and decide the outcome in one move? What do you think?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and looked at Yang Xuance.

"it is good!"

"Then let's settle this with one decisive move!"

Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, Yang Xuance replied without hesitation.

"Yang Xuance, watch closely! This strike of mine is the fifth strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade, reversing Yin and Yang!"

Chu Xiu said calmly, and the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade in his right hand slashed towards Yang Xuance.

With this slash, the blade energy split into black and white, like the reversal of the Tai Chi symbol.

The living see the gates of death wide open, and the souls of the dead find their way back to life. Heaven and earth are turned upside down, the five elements are reversed, and where the blade passes, plants and trees turn to stone, and metals and stones turn to ash.

"What a blatant disruption of Yin and Yang!"

"However, the Ghost God Halberd Technique of the Yang Clan of Hongnong is not weak either!"

"This strike of mine is the fourth move of the Ghost God Halberd Technique: Ten Thousand Bones Turn to Madness!"

Yang Xuance's pupils contracted, and he spoke with a chilling murderous aura as he slashed his halberd towards Chu Xiu.

With this slash, three thousand phantom images of ghosts and gods appeared in the starry sky.

It was as if three thousand ghosts and gods had blessed his halberd, making its power several times stronger than the third move of the Ghost God Halberd Technique.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky!

Both Chu Xiu's sword energy and Yang Xuance's halberd shadow disappeared into the starry sky.

It seems that the two are evenly matched again.

but!

quickly!

The starry sky began to shatter!

One by one, the Star Guardians turned to dust!

A trickle of crimson blood seeped from the corner of Yang Xuance's mouth, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Yang Xuance, it seems that your Star Guard of the Hongnong Yang Clan is nothing special!"

A playful smile appeared on Chu Xiu's lips as he uttered a mocking remark, then took a step and vanished from the city of Xuzhou.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

"Master, how are you?"

"Master, how are your injuries?"

"Brother, are you okay?"

"..."

One after another, figures rose into the air from the governor's mansion and appeared behind Yang Xuance, looking at him with tense expressions and hurriedly asking questions.

"I am fine."

Yang Xuance raised his right hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Yang Chao, the commander of the Shadow Guard, and said in a deep voice with a hint of heartache in his eyes, "Yang Chao, please take a count of how many casualties our Star Guard has suffered in total."

All wounded brothers must be healed at all costs!

"Yes."

Yang Chao said with utmost respect.

Not only was Yang Xuance injured, but Yang Chao, the Grand Commander of the Star Guard, was also wounded.

The 100,000 Star Guardians suffered heavy casualties.

Outside Shouchun City.

Swish!

Chu Xiu appeared and dispelled the killing blade formation.

More than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards fell to the ground, and many of them appeared to be injured.

However, his injuries were clearly not serious, and he had killed a large number of Star Guards with the Killing Blade Formation.

More than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards can advance even further once their injuries are healed!

The Killing Blade Formation can plunder the cultivation of enemies it kills.

This is the power of the Killing Blade Formation.

In comparison, Yang Xuance suffered heavy losses.

Not only did they not gain any benefits, but they also lost a large number of Star Guards that the Hongnong Yang family had spent countless hours, energy and resources to cultivate.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

More than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards maintained their salute to Chu Xiu.

"No gift."

"Fang Heng, take the brothers back to recover from their injuries."

"Remember, you must use the best healing medicine to heal the brothers' injuries as quickly as possible."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and looked at Fang Heng.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng said with a respectful expression.

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, remaining silent as he stood on the banks of the Huai River, gazing in the direction of Xuzhou.

Fang Heng bowed and left with more than 8,000 elite Imperial Guards.

"Congratulations, host, for persisting in doing positive things, you have been rewarded with twenty years of Earth Immortal power and the sixth strike of the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade, Burying Star Ruins."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.
