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

At this moment, the entire capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shaken!

All eyes turned toward the direction of Cibei Temple.

Even the experts in the capital city at the Celestial Immortal Realm and even the True Immortal Realm showed expressions of shock on their faces.

This is the power of a Xuanxian Realm cultivator, a power that only a sword cultivator at the Xuanxian Realm level can possess!

If this sword were aimed at them, they would have absolutely no chance of resisting it!

"Can you finally bear it?"

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. With a thought, he used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared underground.

He had long guessed that Wang Hao or Qi King Murong Yu would not give up easily.

If they didn't kill him before, they'll definitely try again.

After all, his cultivation progressed too quickly. If he were Wang Hao or Murong Yu, he would have done the same.

Chu Xiu had guessed it, but he didn't tell Qi Tianchen about it.

This is Chu Xiu's confidence in the Five Elements Escape Technique!

"Gone?"

"Is this Chu Xiu's Five Elements Escape Technique?"

The man in black, wielding a long sword, appeared where Chu Xiu had been standing, his pupils contracting.

He thought that with his Xuanxian realm strength, even if Chu Xiu had reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Immortal realm, killing Chu Xiu would be an easy task.

result……

Chu Xiu disappeared right before his eyes using the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Even more terrifying was that the man in black couldn't even sense Chu Xiu's presence, as if he had completely vanished from this world.

"Trying to kill the Marquis in the capital is simply courting death!"

Qi Tianchen's voice came from afar, and a sword light rushed towards the man in black.

Clearly, Qi Tianchen had sensed the man in black's attack, and naturally, he immediately returned after already leaving.

At this moment.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Murong Si, who was engrossed in reviewing memorials, changed her expression slightly and said coldly, "Is the Palace Master of the Southern Palace here?"

Swish!

A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, appeared in the main hall of the Taiji Palace.

It was none other than Nangong Yijian, the head of the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Upon seeing Nangong Yijian appear, even Jiang Wan'er and Pei Guanyin looked at him with immense awe.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Nangong Yijian cupped his hands in greeting to Murong Si and spoke calmly.

"Palace Master Nangong, it seems someone wants to get rid of Minister Chu, so they have dispatched experts at the Xuanxian realm in the capital."

"I hope that the Prince of Nangong will take action!"

Murong Si looked at Nangong Yijian with a serious expression and said.

Although she couldn't see the battle at the Compassion Temple, she could only sense the appearance of a terrifying sword strike.

However, she had already guessed that it was very likely related to Chu Xiu.

After all, the shadow guard had already informed her that someone wanted to make a move against Chu Xiu.

It's clear that after the mission failed, they were unwilling to accept defeat, which is why they sent a Xuanxian-level expert to take action personally.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that no one in the capital can kill the Marquis."

Nangong Yijian said something and then disappeared from the main hall of Taiji Palace.

Seeing Nangong Yijian leave, Murong Si couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, revealing a look of relief.

"Qi Tianchen, you can't stop me!"

The man in black said in a muffled voice, "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he slashed at Qi Tianchen with his sword.

The power of this sword strike reached an incredibly terrifying level.

As a master at the Xuanxian realm, he naturally knew that extremely formidable masters were hidden in the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even in the Immortal Martial Pavilion.

If he is stopped by Qi Tianchen, the Palace Master of the Royal Offering Hall, Nangong Yijian, or the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Martial Pavilion, Liu Feibai, may arrive.

He had no confidence in resisting whichever came.

"Is this all you have?"

Qi Tianchen smiled calmly and unleashed the Heavenly Sword. An incomparably terrifying sword aura appeared between heaven and earth, as if he were heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were him.

Rumble!

Two incredibly powerful sword energies collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

The man in black stood still, while Qi Tianchen was blasted back hundreds of meters by his sword strike.

but!

The man in black's sword strike clearly did not harm Qi Tianchen.

Qi Tianchen once again attacked the man in black with his sword.

"Qi Tianchen, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"Taibai Slaying Immortals, kill!"

A hint of shock and anger flashed in the man's eyes, and he spoke furiously.

After saying that, the man in black unleashed the fifth move of the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Sword, one of the two great martial arts of the Hongnong Yang Clan: Taibai Slaying Immortals.

Yang Yan also used this sword technique.

only……

Yang Yan's Taibai Immortal Slaughter was less than one percent, or even one-thousandth, of this sword strike!

This sword strike seemed capable of truly slaughtering immortals and gods!

"People from the Yang family of Hongnong?"

Upon seeing the black-clad man's sword strike, a glint of light flashed in Qi Tianchen's eyes. His expression turned serious, and he tightened his grip on the longsword.

This is the true strength of the man in black.

The swordsmanship that the man in black had used earlier was nothing more than ordinary swordsmanship.

Clearly, the man in black didn't want to reveal his identity at first.

I only used the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Sword because I had no other choice.

"Tian Chen, step back!"

A voice came from a distance.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this voice, Qi Tianchen responded and moved, retreating several hundred meters away.

He recognized the voice as that of Nangong Yijian, the master of the Imperial Palace.

Although Nangong Yijian was not his master, he was in fact his disciple.

More importantly, he is currently no match for the man in black's sword strike.

"Nangong Yijian..."

The man in black looked horrified. He stopped his sword from striking Qi Tianchen and instead transformed it into a beam of light as he tried to escape.

"You still want to escape now?"

"late!"

Nangong Yijian appeared out of thin air high in the sky, pointing his right hand at the man in black.

A long sword appeared between heaven and earth, striking towards the man in black.

This sword strike was just like a true immortal sword!

The title of Sword Immortal is truly well-deserved!

This is the true art of sword control!

The sword-controlling technique of the ancient sword immortal!

"Palace Master Nangong, please spare this man's life!"

Chu Xiu emerged from underground, stood beside Qi Tianchen, and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, he won't die."

Nangong Yijian said calmly.

call out!

The sword pierced right through the man in black!

The man in black fell from the sky and landed on the ground, staggering. The long sword in his hand clattered to the ground, and his eyes dimmed.

He didn't even have the strength to clench his fist!

Clearly, Nangong Yijian did not kill the man in black with a single strike, but he severely injured him.

After passing through the man in black, the sword flew back towards Nangong Yijian and disappeared from his body.

Nangong Yijian moved swiftly and appeared beside Chu Xiu and Qi Tianchen, saying with a smile, "My lord, you can send someone to capture the assassin now; he has no power to resist!"

"Thank you, Lord Nangong."

Chu Xiu bowed to Nangong Yijian in thanks.

He wasn't worried that the man in black could escape now, nor was he worried that someone could silence him in front of Nangong Yijian.

Such a person is probably one in a million throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!
