From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

"Really? You guys who are good at calculating are such a nuisance." Chen Hui slowly shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, why didn't Moon God see that just now?"

"Because Your Excellency is wearing a mask." Slowly wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the Moon Goddess, regaining her dignified demeanor, replied calmly, "My skills are not yet fully developed, and I must observe a person's face before I can deduce their appearance. I cannot compare to Your Excellency Donghuang's mastery, who can deduce directly from their aura."

"I see. This is eye-opening." Chen Hui nodded and said, "It seems that I can't take Gao Yue with me today. If you don't mind, can I leave now?"

As he spoke, Chen Hui inserted his 'Long Claw' onto the deck, raised his hand and released a dragon flame, which reflected his face. He said in a deep voice, "Of course you can say no, but don't blame me for setting the ship on fire."

"If Ying Zheng knew that even the entire Yin-Yang clan couldn't protect his hope of immortality, he would probably be very unhappy."

"In Sister Moon's words, it's called 'Thunder's Fury', right?"

Having said that, Chen Hui looked down at Xiao Yu in his arms, shook his head with regret and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, it seems that your Shushan Sect's Fusang sacred tree will not be preserved this time."

"Forget it, if I can't save it, then forget it!" Knowing the situation was now extremely critical, after a fierce ideological struggle, Xiao Yu simply gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Rather than letting that tyrant Ying Zheng get it, it would be much easier to destroy it directly! Go ahead, Master Ghost-Faced Giant!"

Chapter 55: Two Heroes Gamble on Shao Siming

Hearing that Chen Hui actually planned to burn down the Mirage, and recalling that he had once burned down more than a dozen granaries in Guanzhong in one go, everyone present couldn't help but change their expression. Only Dongjun Yanfei, with her calm face, showed a hint of joy.

As for Donghuang Taiyi, he is wearing a mask, so who knows what expression he has now.

Looking at the golden flames burning on Chen Hui's palms, Donghuang Taiyi slowly nodded and said, "I see. No wonder Your Excellency the Great Master was able to burn down the granary without any kindling. It turns out you've mastered a unique skill that allows you to generate your own flames."

Meanwhile, Xinghun and the other three from the Toad Palace had already arrived on the deck. They handed the Vareisteel dagger they had snatched from Xiao Yu to Donghuang Taiyi, saying, "Your Excellency Donghuang, this was snatched from that Yu Yuan guard. It's a very interesting gadget, and it seems to be able to counteract the secret techniques of our Yin-Yang family."

Donghuang Taiyi took the Vareisteel dagger and examined it, then glanced at the ripple pattern resembling a 'long claw'. He then slowly asked, "Where did you, Master, obtain these extraordinary weapons that can actually counter my sect's secret techniques?"

"Why should I answer you?" Chen Hui withdrew the flame in his palm and said with a slight smile.

"When you raised the question earlier, we didn't hide anything." Donghuang Taiyi said in a deep voice, "Don't you think you should return the favor?"

"Damn!" Chen Hui cursed inwardly, "How cunning!" He then began to answer half-truthfully, "These weapons were obtained from the Valyrian Freehold Empire. This country has worshipped a dragon since ancient times. The flames it spews have the power to break all spells. The Valyrians spent thousands of years researching and finally developed the technology to integrate the energy of dragon flame into steel, forging a metal called 'Valyrian Steel'. It is not only far tougher and sharper than ordinary steel, but also, like dragon flame, can render any spell into nothingness."

"The dagger in your hand and my 'Longclaw' are both Valyrian steel weapons. Their value is probably more than a hundred times their weight in gold."

Upon hearing that this weapon actually possessed such amazing power and value, not only did the Yin-Yang family members show strange expressions, even Xiao Yu became a little uneasy. This was a magical weapon that was worth a hundred times more than gold. Such a precious thing was lost in her hands. How could she compensate Chen Hui? You know, the Shushan School is now penniless.

Fortunately, Chen Hui didn't know Xiao Yu's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely say that he would use herself as compensation.

"Such a marvelous thing exists in the world." Donghuang Taiyi glanced at the beautiful ripple pattern on the dagger and nodded with a sigh, "As expected, the world is so vast that nothing is impossible. I wonder how the Valyrian Empire is doing now?"

"That's the second question. Remember, you owe me one." Chen Hui replied calmly, "Ever since the Valyrian Empire developed this miraculous weapon, it has relied on its power to sweep across the entire continent, establishing a vast empire that surpasses all others in history, approximately ten times the size of the current Qin Dynasty."

Seeing the shocked expressions of the Yin-Yang family's high-ranking officials, Chen Hui sneered, "Unfortunately, after the territorial expansion reached its peak, without any external enemies, the empire began to rapidly degenerate and fall into corruption. It took less than a hundred years for it to fall."

"The empire's last emperor, Emperor Yang, was arrogant, extravagant, lustful, cruel, and merciless. He built the 3,000-mile Grand Canal solely for pleasure boats, and the ten-thousand-foot Tower of Babel solely to reach the stars. And every winter, when the grass and trees withered, he would wrap all the trees in the capital with silk and embellish them with gold, silver, and jade in the shape of flowers and fruits, so that even in winter he would be surrounded by blooming flowers. He completely ignored the fact that the wealthy feasted and smelt while the poor froze to death on the streets."

"Emperor Yang's evil deeds were too numerous to list, and they finally provoked a nationwide rebellion, swearing to perish with him. Facing the sparks of fervor that raged across the mountains and plains, and facing the millions of people who had already put their lives at risk, the Valyrian Empire, even with its mighty weapons, was unable to withstand it. Finally, its capital was breached by a million-strong righteous army, and it met its final end.

At this point, Chen Hui's voice suddenly became incredibly distant, as if he could peer through history and witness the end of countless Chinese dynasties. He pondered each word, "That day, the streets were trampled bare by the bones of nobles, and the inner treasury burned to ashes. Countless once-high-ranking princes, nobles, and dignitaries were dragged from their magnificent mansions by angry commoners, dragged into the streets, and hacked into pieces, chopped into pulp. The stench of blood flowed throughout the capital, transforming this once heart of the empire into a hellish hell."

At this point, looking at the solemn faces of the Yin-Yang family leaders, Chen Hui suddenly smiled and said, "Especially the imperial prince. Because his name contains the word 'Fu', he is very fat and likes to raise nine-colored precious deer. So the leader of the rebel army put him in the pot with the venison and cooked it for everyone to eat. I think it was called... Oh, right, the Fu Lu Banquet!"

"How about it, isn't it very creative?"

"..." After taking a long, deep breath, Donghuang Taiyi asked in a deep voice, "What was the fate of the last Emperor Yang?"

"He was lucky. At least his death wasn't very painful." Chen Hui sneered. "With nowhere else to turn, the completely desperate Emperor Yang broke into the empire's most important forbidden area and personally broke the seal that imprisoned the dragon, hoping to use the dragon's power to save his empire."

"But this idiot had no idea that the entire capital of the Valyrian Empire was actually built on a massive volcanic crater, and the dragon's purpose was to suppress the volcano. As soon as he released the dragon, the volcano, which had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, began to erupt. In a very short time, the entire capital, along with the surrounding area within a thousand miles, was transformed into a sea of ​​purgatory. Except for a few lucky few who escaped, everything else was burned to ashes."

"The dragon made them both successful and unsuccessful. The Valyrian Empire relied on the dragon's power to conquer the entire continent, but was completely destroyed by the dragon's departure, becoming a mere historical term."

Having said this, sensing the solemn atmosphere, Chen Hui picked up Longclaw and shook it, saying, "When the empire was destroyed and the dragons disappeared, Valyrian steel weapons became extinct. These we have now were all picked up by chance from the ruins that had long been buried by wildfire and magma. If Your Excellency Donghuang is interested in these things, you can try your luck and maybe pick up a few."

"The distance isn't too far. If you go east from Sanghai to the other side of the ocean, it's about 30,000 to 40,000 miles."

Yes, we are almost to the American continent.

"..." Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment after hearing this. He naturally put away the Valyrian steel dagger and nodded slowly. "It seems that Yan Shisan and Xie Xiaofeng, whom Your Excellency mentioned earlier, are also heroes of the Valyrian Empire. No wonder I have never heard of their names before."

"Until today, I finally realized how vast the world is, far beyond my imagination. Thank you, Master, for clearing up my confusion."

"Before you thank me, could you please return the dagger first? Speaking of which, how come you're so skilled at embezzling and eavesdropping?" Chen Hui asked unhappily, "Now it's my turn to ask, what exactly is Gao Yue's so-called noble bloodline? Don't be so mysterious, just tell me the name of her ancestor."

"Nuba." Donghuang Taiyi replied indifferently.

"So that's how it is. The daughter of Emperor Huang, Ji Xuanyuan, is the body of Hanba. No wonder later generations call her Yanfei." Chen Hui glanced at Dongjun Yanfei, who had a complicated expression, shook his head and said, "I'm fine now. What are you going to do now, Your Excellency Donghuang? Do you want to have a big fight or pretend you didn't see me? Just give me the answer."

"Lord Yunzhong is probably dead. I must give His Majesty an explanation for this matter," Donghuang Taiyi said calmly. "Furthermore, if I turn a blind eye to this encounter with His Excellency the Great Master, it will be difficult for His Majesty to accept my request. Therefore, a fight is inevitable."

"but"

Seeing Chen Hui's alertness, Donghuang Taiyi changed the subject and said, "However, the safety of Mirage is indeed important, so I would like to make a bet with His Excellency the Great Master."

"I'd like to hear the details." Chen Hui said in a calm and deep voice.

"The Yin-Yang family and the entire Qin army will not take action. I will fight you alone." Donghuang Taiyi said in a deep voice: "If I am victorious, please remove your mask and let me see your true face."

"If you win, how about I allow you to take Ji Ru Qianlong away?"

"." Glancing at Dongjun Yanfei's instantly tense expression after hearing that, Chen Hui smiled calmly and said, "Let's change the bet. Since we're both used to wearing masks, let's use our respective masks to place the bet."

"If Lord Donghuang knocks off my mask first, I promise not to attack Mirage again. It doesn't matter if you all attack together. If you can't escape, it's my fault."

"But if I were to knock off His Excellency Donghuang's mask first, then I would not only have to take Gao Yue away, but also take another person with me, and that person is her."

As he spoke, Chen Hui raised his sword and pointed it at one of the Yin-Yang family's senior leaders—Shao ​​Siming.

"Your Excellency the Great Master wants Shao Siming?" Donghuang Taiyi asked with some confusion, "Why not Yan Fei?"

"I'm not Cao Cao. I have no interest in other people's wives." Ignoring Dongjun Yanfei's sudden frown, Chen Hui smiled calmly and said, "As for why it's Shao Siming, do I need to explain the relationship between Mohism and Taoism?"

"Especially Shao Siming is my favorite one in the entire Yin-Yang family." This is what Chen Hui thought in his heart.

"I see." Although he didn't know who Cao Cao was, Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said, "I agree. If you win, you can take Ji Ru Qianlong and Shao Siming away."

No one asked Shao Siming's opinion. The fate of this girl was decided by just a few words from the two leaders. She seemed to have gotten used to it and remained calm and expressionless as before.

Taking a look at Shao Siming's absolutely beautiful face which could not be completely concealed even with a veil, Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He just asked a question casually, but he didn't expect that this elder of the Yin-Yang family who had never said a word in the entire animation was actually that 'Xiao Yi'.

Thinking of his brother Xiao Ling, who had been killed by his sister, Chen Hui cursed the Yin-Yang family for being truly perverted. He then pointed to the shore and said, "Since that's the case, then let the Mirage dock, Your Excellency Donghuang."

Chapter 56: Nonsense Dugu Qiubai does not exist No sword is better than a sword

Two hours later, when the dawn light was rising in the sky, Chen Hui and Donghuang Taiyi came to the port of Sanghai together and confronted each other from a distance of ten feet.

The reason why it took so long was simply because the two men requested that all civilians within a few miles around be evacuated in advance to avoid being affected by the confrontation between the two.

At this moment, a hundred meters behind the two, Xiao Yu and the people from the Yin-Yang family stood on both sides, watching the battle intently; and Gao Yue, one of the bets, had now been brought out of the Mirage and was being protected and guarded by the Moon God. As for Gao Yue's mother, Dongjun Yanfei, she was surrounded by Xinghun and the other four elders to prevent her from suddenly making any moves.

Well, the four elders, including Xiang Jun and Madam Xiang, although they were seriously injured before, fortunately there is no shortage of elixirs on the Mirage, so they have now recovered a lot of their combat power.

Seeing the stage set for the decisive battle, with all distractions gone, Chen Hui waved his Long Claw sword and said with a faint smile, "Except for Lord Xu Fu of the Clouds, none of the higher-ups in the Yin-Yang family wear swords. I wonder if they're not proficient in swordsmanship, or if they're deliberately imitating His Excellency Dong Huang."

"There's no sword in my hand, but there is a sword in my heart." Donghuang Taiyi replied calmly, "Yin Yang and the Five Elements encompass everything. As long as there is a sword in my heart, everything in the world can become a sword."

"...How come your theory is so similar to that of a peerless swordsman named Dugu Qiubai?" Chen Hui shook his head speechlessly. "This man was known as the 'Sword Demon'. He roamed the world for thirty years, slaying all enemies and defeating all heroes. Alas, he could not find a rival, so he called himself 'Seeking Defeat'. He retired from the martial arts world and lived in seclusion in a deep valley, befriending a divine eagle. He never set foot in the world again until his death."

"This man's swordsmanship is divided into four levels: before the age of twenty, he was fierce and powerful, indestructible, and feared by the people within a radius of hundreds;"

"Before the age of thirty, he combined strength and flexibility, changing into a thousand forms, and commanded a mighty power over a region thousands of miles in radius."

"Before he was forty, his heavy sword had no edge, his great skill was unskillful, all the heroes in the world were at their wit's end, and no one could stop a casual blow from him."

"Finally, on his fortieth birthday, this peerless swordsman became completely disheartened and retired to the mountains."

Seeing that both Donghuang Taiyi and the other Yin-Yang family leaders were listening attentively, Chen Hui continued, "After retiring, Dugu Qiubai continued to delve into the Dao of the Sword alone, gradually discovering that even plants, trees, bamboo, and stone could be transformed into swords."

"Finally, at the age of fifty, he reached the fourth level of his swordsmanship, which is the so-called state of 'not being attached to things, and defeating the sword with no sword'. This is quite similar to Lord Donghuang's 'no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart'."

"It's a pity that Senior Dugu was born hundreds of years earlier. If he could have lived to this day, he probably wouldn't have died of depression and could have had a good discussion with His Excellency Donghuang about the way of the 'Swordless'."

"The Sword Demon's demeanor is truly captivating," Donghuang Taiyi exclaimed in heartfelt admiration. "Everyone in the world pursues 'victory' as their ultimate goal, yet this Dugu Swordsman calls himself 'Seeking Defeat'. This speaks volumes about his unparalleled grace and elegance. Even if the entire world were to be filled with all its might, no one could even come close to matching his abilities."

"It is a great regret in my life that I cannot compete with such a peerless divine sword."

"Then, Your Excellency Donghuang, do you know my attitude towards this Dugu Qiubai's fourth-level swordsmanship?" Chen Hui said with a playful smile without waiting for Donghuang Taiyi's reply: "Two words - nonsense!"

Seeing the suddenly petrified expressions of the Yin-Yang Family's top brass, Chen Hui spread his hands and said, "Who does Dugu Qiubai think he is? Even if he's a master of swordsmanship, he's still just an ordinary person. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all within his grasp. Yet he dares to claim that 'no sword is better than a sword'? It's simply laughable."

"No matter how powerful Dugu Qiubai is, can he be stronger than Pangu, who created the world and transformed himself into all things?"

"Even Pangu needed a divine axe to create the universe. How can Dugu Qiubai claim that he's stronger without a sword?"

"Let's not even mention Pangu, a great creator god. Let's just talk about Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou. They were both mythical beings. They both needed divine weapons to support them. Otherwise, what would the Xuanyuan Sword and Chiyou Sword be?"

"Please go down to Donghuang Pavilion and tell them, 'There's no sword in my hand, but there's a sword in my heart.' How about that? Let's see if these two will just pick up their weapons and chop you in two!"

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools; this is the eternal truth. Claims like 'no sword is better than a sword' or 'no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart' are nothing but the arrogance and hubris of a frog in a well."

"Your Excellency Donghuang, today I will teach you another truth: weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is!!!!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Hui's body suddenly surged with energy and murderous aura emerged again.

However, unlike the overwhelming murderous intent before, this time all the murderous intent was highly condensed, gathering into a black sword light that shot up into the sky, like a silk thread spanning ten feet, and chopped straight towards Donghuang Taiyi's head.

"Invisible Sword Qi That Breaks the Body"—the long-range attack form of "Deadly Sword Technique" abandons the pervasive erosion of murderous aura and instead condenses it into a highly condensed murderous sword beam that is indestructible and can break anything.

Seeing the pitch-black sword light coming down like a giant axe splitting a mountain, Donghuang Taiyi's hands suddenly turned, drawing countless streams of water to rise up, which gathered into layers to form a shield, blocking the pitch-black sword light that was slashing down from the air head-on.

"The Highest Good is Like Water" is the unique skill of Elder Madam Xiang. When it is performed by Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, its power is more than ten times stronger.

The sword and the water shield collided head-on. The water shield, which seemed like a solid wall of steel, was pierced through by the pitch-black sword light in just two breaths and continued to fall towards Donghuang Taiyi's head.

“What a powerful force!”

Layers of water shields shattered and scattered, but Donghuang Taiyi was not panicked at all. Instead, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a towering yellow energy suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the murderous sword light that had been weakened by the water shield. His defense was so strong that it was almost as solid as a rock.

"Emperor of Heaven and Earth", the best defense among the five elements, the unique skill of Elder Xiangjun.

"Do you think there is only one sword beam?" Chen Hui snorted coldly when he saw this. Another dark sword beam suddenly appeared out of thin air, broke through the air from behind Donghuang Taiyi, and went straight to the back of his head.

Because he sincerely disliked the bullshit theory of "no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart", Chen Hui deliberately ignored the "Innate Formless Finger Sword" which used fingers instead of swords when he was creating his skills, and instead directly studied the top-level magic skill of the Wen family martial arts - "Breaking the Body with Invisible Sword Qi".

The "Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi" is not only as fast as lightning and as agile as the wind, but also contains an insane killing force that can destroy everything in its path. It can be said to be an extremely terrifying supreme killing weapon.

The word "broken body" does not mean breaking the body, but the "celestial body" and "space";

As long as you are in the area covered by the murderous intent, the murderous sword light can be generated as you think and break through the air without any process at all!

The range that Chen Hui's murderous aura can now cover is a vast space with a radius of about one hundred meters centered on his body.

As long as it is within this range, there is no possibility of escape.

No one can do it, not even Donghuang Taiyi.

Chapter 57: Invisible Sword Energy VS Five Elements Yin-Yang Magic

Not only that, due to the powerful characteristics of "Postnatal Internal Alchemy", various forms of energy categories can be converted at will.

Therefore, before Chen Hui used the "Invisible Sword Qi that Breaks the Body", he did not need to kill a lot of people to accumulate death energy like Guan Qi did.

As long as the inner elixir's miraculous power is not exhausted, the murderous aura will be endless, and as many sword beams as desired can be condensed.

Next, facing the two sword beams attacking from the front and back, Donghuang Taizhou suddenly gushed out countless steaming smoke from his body, surging in all directions, and in a flash, the two sword beams hit the air and completely lost sight of their targets.

In "Yunlai Fantasy", the unique skills that Yunzhongjun Xu Fu needs the help of elixirs and props can be performed, but Donghuang Taiyi can perform them with just a raise of his hand without any pressure.

The next moment, the giant figure reappeared, and the figure of Donghuang, which was several times larger than Xu Fu's previous "giant spirit illusion", suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

The sky was above his head, the earth was beneath his feet, the sun, moon, and stars were spinning around him. Suddenly, he opened his huge hand like a black hole and grabbed towards Chen Hui.

"Tsk!" Chen Hui sneered at the sight, and the 'long claws' in his palms became red and hot again, gathering countless murderous sword auras and wrapping around them, transforming into a shocking sword light that was more than several feet long, black and red, and slashed down towards the giant palm in front of him that was getting bigger and bigger.

"boom!!!!!"

The deafening roar was so deafening that the giant spirit illusion disappeared without a trace. Chen Hui was also shocked by the overwhelming and unstoppable force and took several steps back.

Before Chen Hui could stand firmly on the stake, countless green leaves had already broken through the air and attacked his vital parts like a rain of locust arrows, with a power so strong that it could penetrate gold and stone.

"Ten Thousand Leaves and Flying Flowers", falling leaves and flying flowers can all kill enemies, this is Shao Siming's signature skill.

"roll!"

The murderous sword light rose from the ground, rushing straight into the sky as if to break through the sky, constantly defeating thousands of green leaves in an instant, and with the unparalleled momentum of pushing down golden mountains and overturning jade pillars, it pressed down towards Donghuang Taiyi in the air.

Donghuang Taiyi clasped his palms together and drew out a blood-red Tai Chi totem, which he used to block the mountain-like sword light. The force-releasing technique, which was almost as good as the Tai Chi Sword Technique, made the heavy sword light tremble and slide to the side like rotten leather.

"Yin Yang Qi Hand Seal", the unique skill of Dasi Ming, is miraculous in both attack and defense.

"interesting."
