When he flew to the edge of the cliff.
Fang Yu suddenly shouted: "Thousand-Pound Fall!"
His figure swiftly plummeted.
Boom!
Like a giant boulder, his feet stomped onto the ground.
His figure stood firm. Looking forward...
After his vision cleared.
Everything ahead was clear and discernible.
The Tiandu Guards quickly formed an array in eight directions.
Every person’s palms faced forwards.
"A Combined Martial Technique of dozens of people, Eight Techniques of Profound, no wonder its power is so immense," Fang Yu inwardly clicked his tongue.
He almost suffered a loss without noticing.
If not for his quick reaction, he would have fallen off the cliff directly.
"Indeed, the Tiandu Hall is powerful. Even without the appearance of the Five Great Hall Masters, there are still Tiandu Guards... Empress Ziwei, have those subordinates and ministers of yours gone into hiding to have children?" Fang Yu laughed.
Empress Ziwei responded indifferently:
"My ministers and subordinates have other important uses... Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken!"
"What a phrase about not using a cleaver to kill a chicken... Then why did you let a bat deal with me? And you even agreed to be that stinky bat’s woman after a hundred years, don’t you find it disgusting? How will you face everyone on Tiandu Mountain after a hundred years, have you thought about that?"
Upon hearing this,
Ziwei was momentarily taken aback and said: "A bat?"
"No way... You’ve been cooperating with him for so long, knowing he is a person from the Western Regions Alien Clan, yet you didn’t know what species he is?" Fang Yu said in surprise.
"What species?"
Fang Yu chuckled.
Ziwei did not order the Tiandu Guards to continue the attack, showing clear curiosity... However, Fang Yu hadn’t expected that she really didn’t know Merlin’s true identity.
Fang Yu, with his hands behind his back, slowly said:
"The various clans of the Western Regions have coveted Huaxia for a long time... You’ve stayed on Tiandu Mountain for too long, even though you learn quickly and can adapt to modern urban life. But have you studied the modern history of Huaxia?"
Empress Ziwei remained silent.
Fang Yu continued: "In recent times, Huaxia has suffered from the invasions of Western powers, as well as the barbaric Japan from the eastern seas, leaving Huaxia full of scars. If it weren’t for the modern people’s striving efforts, Tiandu Mountain would have disappeared a long time ago."
"What does this have to do with Mr. Merlin?" Ziwei asked.
"How is it irrelevant? Survival of the fittest is an eternal truth; if you lag, you will be beaten... Currently, Huaxia is in a time of weak Spiritual Energy, although there are signs of recovery now. But once this news reaches the Alien Clans of the Western Regions, they will surely invade en masse and massacre Huaxia’s Cultivators!"
Fang Yu paused, then said, "This so-called Merlin, is actually a type of bat from the West that sustains longevity through fresh blood, fearing sunlight without the protection of Magic Artifacts, prefers appearing at night, and has extreme self-healing capabilities. This disgusting type of bat, you actually fancy him?"
Upon hearing this,
Empress Ziwei frowned.
The maid Xia’er whispered beside her: "Your Majesty, Xia’er has read about such creatures that maintain longevity through fresh blood in an ancient book; indeed, it is a type of Alien from the Western Regions, they have no Dantian, no Inner Essence, and do not need Spiritual Energy for Cultivation. This species is called in ancient texts, vampires, or the Blood Clan."
"Shut up!"
Ziwei commanded.
Scared, the maid Xia’er stepped back twice, not daring to speak further.
Wasn’t this publically slapping her own face?
Empress Ziwei looked at Fang Yu and said: "So, you killed him?"
"What’s the use of keeping such a bat?" Fang Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Unexpectedly, you are so well-informed about some Alien Clans of the Western Regions, knowing his weaknesses... But how did you know about this Hexagonal Gathering Array?" Empress Ziwei coldly voiced.
Fang Yu smiled:
"This is purely a coincidence... As you know, I’m a genius with arrays, instantly noticing the Array Eye. A cornered dog will leap over a wall, so I just triggered it to try. Unexpectedly, your family’s Mr. Merlin truly fears the Sun Energy brought by this Array. It was because of this that I confirmed he’s a vampire."
Much had been said.
Empress Ziwei couldn’t help but shake her head in pity, such talent, if only he could be employed by me, it’s truly too regrettable.
"Today, this will be the place where you are buried, and as for those attacking the Five Great Divine Palaces... I will bury them with you." She lifted her jade hand and waved.
Dozens of Tiandu Guards quickly approached, forming an octagonal array...
The intent to kill was firm.
There was almost no possibility of change.
Fang Yu said, "If you want to kill me, this skill is not enough!"
Swoosh!
The Dragon Roar Sword appeared.
The purple dragon coiled around the blade, shining brilliantly.
Maid Xia’er exclaimed in surprise, "It’s a Spiritual Artifact... Your Majesty Empress, this..."
"There’s no need to worry... Tiandu Guard can handle it. Although he is one of the Four Saints, he is not qualified to face me in person!"
...
The Tiandu Guard slowly locked their great swords together, quickly cornering Fang Yu by the cliff.
Forming a semi-circle.
"Just right, I’ll use you to practice my swordsmanship... I wonder how well your Sword Formation has been trained."
Tiandu Guard was taken aback.
This young man actually knew about the Sword Formation they practiced!
"Attack!"
Huff.
Huff huff.
The great swords bombarded in succession.
Swordlight and sword shadows.
An intense battle erupted instantly.
From time to time, Gang Qi sprayed towards the sky, the crisscrossing Gang Qi waves destroyed all the surrounding trees.
Fang Yu, holding the Dragon Roar Sword, fought fiercely among the crowd for half an hour.
No victor emerged.
Looking at Empress Ziwei.
She stood nearby with a cold face, unmoving.
Others also stood silently on the side, watching the confrontation.
...
Fang Yu was becoming increasingly alarmed as the battle went on.
All the Tiandu Guard were at Supreme Heavenly Rank, he was mentally prepared for that. But their ability to fight together was astonishingly strong, their coordination seamless.
If not for the agility and density of the Rain Cutting Sword Technique, and his Fifth Transformation of the Purple Flame Dragon Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attacks from so many Supreme Heavenly Ranks.
However...
Fang Yu’s performance completely stunned the subordinates behind the Empress.
"How can he possess such terrifying combat power when he is only at the Circulation Heaven Position?"
"This is inconceivable!"
Exclamations of astonishment erupted.
During their surprise, Fang Yu slashed down with another sword, making the earth tremble.
Seeing this scene.
Maid Xia’er said:
"Mr. Fang’s combat power does not rely on his Cultivation Realm... but on the Spiritual Artifact in his hands... The spirit coiling around the artifact is an Artifact Spirit, looking at its form, it should be a dragon! Dragons have always been the totem of Huaxia, containing endless power!"
Everyone nodded in amazement.
Xia’er continued: "Moreover, since the battle with Tiandu Guard started, I carefully counted a total of thirty-one Heavenly Rank Combat Skills he used, including Swordsmanship, movement technique, Step Technique, Fist Technique... He used no less than five Ancient Battle Techniques!"
Everyone took a sharp breath.
Only Empress Ziwei, from the beginning to the end, watched indifferently.
After a long while.
Empress Ziwei softly said, "A Spiritual Artifact... is that so?"
