If it was An Zheng who was at the perfection-stage of the Lower Celestial Stage, he could use this Heavenly Thunder Shower to repel tens of thousands of troops. Within a radius of five kilometers, one would not be able to see any signs of life.
An Zheng's strength was completely unreasonable.
A golden rune floated out from the peony pavilion, forming a transparent barrier of light. The ten thousand runes flowed and the powerful Heavenly Thunder Shower was actually unable to break through that barrier of light. Sitting cross-legged in the peony pavilion, the young monk creased his brow. He looked at the floating Tian Yi with a complicated expression. He muttered to himself, "A good slaughter, a good cause and effect."
An Zheng gritted his teeth and persevered, raising his Depressing Sword to block the Divine Lightning from time to time.
An Zheng, who was originally standing on the ground, had already been smashed deep into the ground. The entire courtyard had been turned into a huge crater, the way Heaven One used his Heavenly Thunder Shower while floating in midair, it was as though a fighter jet was floating there activating its cannon, going berserk to the extreme.
The eight Holy Fish Scale all floated up to the top of An Zheng's head, forming a huge shield. The Divine Lightning struck the Holy Fish Scale one after another, causing An Zheng's body to sink into the ground. When the power of this Heavenly Thunder Shower disappeared, the enormous courtyard had already turned into a huge pit. Dust and dirt were swirling in the air, making it so that people could not clearly see what was happening in front of them.
The sky that was floating in the air swung its sleeves, a mighty hurricane swept past and swept away the dust and smoke.
Beneath the huge pit that was at least thirty meters deep, eight Holy Fish Scale were flashing with light.
An Zheng slowly stood up, and the eight Holy Fish Scale began to circle around him. He raised his head to look at the high and mighty Tianyi in the sky, and his eyes glazed over for a moment. This was clearly the same person he was when he was suppressing the evil spirits, but now he had become the evil demon.
Withdrawing the energy that he had borrowed from Chen Shaobai's father, An Zheng felt a surge of power from the lightning. Chen Shaobai and his experiences in the lightning pool, showed their results once again. His physical body had become stronger, yet he was still unharmed even under such an intense attack.
Wave after wave of electric currents appeared in An Zheng's palm and flowed into the Orthodox Pure Yang. An Zheng raised his head and looked at Tianyi, then said word by word, "This is not a method that you should exist in. If I die, Hell need not have Yama. If I live, there is no need for Buddha in this world. Even if your body only has that piece of flesh, you should not be a zombie. "
With a tap of his feet, a cloud of dust rose from the ground. His body shot forward, and the Orthodox Pure Yang in his hand emitted streaks of lightning.
"Who the hell are you?!"
All of a sudden, Tian Yi roared out, and a Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns smashed down towards the Orthodox Pure Yang.
The two people's palms almost touched each other as the Orthodox Pure Yang and the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns became a disk. Immediately after, a violent explosion blasted both of them into the sky as An Zheng's body smashed through a palace more than a hundred meters away.
But after a moment, he rushed out of the palace and back again. At the same time, Solitary Heaven, who had flipped up high in the sky, turned slightly red. He raised up a gigantic Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns and dived down at a speed so fast that even his eyes could not keep up.
"What is past is past. What is past is past. What should be destroyed is exterminated!"
The Orthodox Pure Yang in An Zheng's hand that was radiating electricity became even larger. When he and the sky collided, the Orthodox Pure Yang was already more than ten meters wide. And the Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns that Tianyi pushed out with both of his hands was equally shocking.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Under the violent ripples, a powerful force swept out in all directions. First, it was a hurricane, and then, it was followed by a sonic boom. Half of the Embroidery Palace's buildings were flattened in an instant! No matter how large the palace was or how vast the building was, at this moment, it seemed as if it was made of sand that quickly collapsed and turned into dust. The hurricane swept across the ground, causing even the tall walls of the palace, several hundred meters away, to topple down. The Embroidery Palace's guards who had not dared to approach this entire time wailed in pain as they fell, and who knew how many of them were smashed to death.
Those people who had weaker Cultivation Power could not even last a few seconds under this berserk. The dozen or so cultivators behind Zhuge Chouyun disappeared bit by bit, like sandcarvings blown away by a hurricane.
The clouds in the sky were swept away, and even the moon seemed to float away from them.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed. An Zheng supported himself on the ground with both of his hands as he panted heavily. Blood unceasingly dripped down the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was holding his head and wailing in pain. Strands of electricity appeared and drilled into his head. It was as if he was suffering from immense pain. The roar was so loud that it could almost tear the sky apart.
At the same time, Tian Er, who was crazily attacking Qu Liuxi before also seemed to be infected as she hugged her own head and squatted down.
Scenes that shouldn't have appeared in their minds were: Da Xi, Jiang Hu, Mount Cang Man. They saw the fierce battle where An Zheng was being attacked and how Zhuge Chouyun cut her flesh apart with her blade. She saw her past life, and also saw her past.
Tianyi's roars stopped and his eyes returned to their original bloodshot state, black and white. He looked at Tian Er who was slowly standing up from the ground, saying in a low voice, "I see myself, and I see home."
"This should not be the world where we exist. We do not belong here, we do not belong to the past, and we do not belong to the future."
The two of them looked at An Zheng and asked at the same time, "How is your life?"
An Zheng lifted his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Tian Yi and Tian Er nodded. Tian Yi looked at the direction of the underground palace behind them, "We should destroy them, but we must also take away the things that have been changed. "If we get out of this, it will be a calamity."
Tian Er slowly floated up, floating side by side with the sky. Then the two of them raised their hands at the same time, and the two huge purple blobs of light finally merged into one. That scene was like two people lifting a purple sun, shining with boundless light.
"Heavenly Thunder Shower."
The low and deep voice once again appeared. It was so profound that it caused one's heart to tremble.
Holding the huge divine lightning, the two of them dove down and charged into the underground palace.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The remaining half of the Embroidery Palace had collapsed.
Chapter 281 - Lifelong
A huge bump appeared on the ground of the entire Embroidery Palace, and even the crater that was created by Tianyi's Heavenly Thunder Shower expanded once again, then crumbled down abruptly. The Embroidery Palace s that took up several hundred acres were instantly destroyed. The entire ground had sunk in, and the ground was shaking like waves. The Empress Dowager Su had been managing the underground palace for many years. Including the hundreds of cultivators inside, there were already tens of thousands of Poison Warriors.
This was the terror of the An Zheng of the past.
Tian Yi and Tian Er's bodies were only a small portion of An Zheng's flesh from back then. The underground palace had been completely destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder Shower and then crumbled, what was buried below wasn't only Zhuge Chouyun's years of hard work, but also the ambition of t
he Empress Dowager Su.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Empress Dowager Su Qingnuan, who was rescued by two black-robed guards, saw the collapsing Embroidery Palace and wailed, her face deathly pale. Then she clutched her stomach and crouched down, a trickle of blood slowly flowing down her leg.
Zhuge Chouyun looked at An Zheng with a gloomy face, despair appearing in her eyes.
No matter what, he would never have thought that the two men he had high hopes for would turn the tables on him. He did not understand why such a thing would happen, why those two would rush back and kill all their kind. Even he was unable to withstand the might of the Heavenly Thunder Shower. He had wanted to test the might of the two 'Heaven' numbers, but he had let all his efforts go to waste.
The moment he saw the empress dowager Su Qingnuan squat down while holding her stomach, and saw the blood flow down, his eyes immediately widened.
"No!"
Zhuge Chouyun roared, all her hair had exploded, as though she had gone mad.
"I will kill you!"
He suddenly dove down from the sky, a black mist gushing out from his sleeves. The black mist spiraled in the air and formed a roaring black dragon.
An Zheng panted heavily as he watched the Black Dragon, which was descending from the sky, once again stand up straight.
As long as the enemy didn't die, then the battle wouldn't stop.
He raised his head, and looked at the black dragon diving down. The Depressing Sword was held in his left hand, and the Orthodox Pure Yang in his right hand appeared once again.
"Take a rest."
Qu Liuxi suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of An Zheng: "It's my turn to protect you."
An Zheng laughed: "No, as long as I am alive, it will always be me protecting you."
Qu Liuxi's face couldn't help but turn red, but she didn't retreat in the slightest: "Believe me, in regards to medicine, I know more than you how to deal with it. Even though he's older than me, even though she has more experience than me, and even though his cultivation is deeper than mine, as long as it's about medicine, I'm not afraid of him. Even though his poison is powerful, it's not an honorable technique. "
She pointed forward, and that little golden silkworm rushed towards the Black Dragon. The size of the black dragon was astonishing, and the golden silkworm was only the size of a pinky finger. In contrast, if one did not pay close attention to the Black Dragon, they would not notice the existence of the little golden silkworm. However, the golden silkworm was different from the two experts facing the black dragon. It didn't even show the slightest bit of fear.
He wiggled his little butt and flew up with all his might, looking especially energetic.
The Black Dragon seemed to have felt that its majesty had been provoked. Furthermore, it seemed to have felt the provocation coming from such an insignificant little thing. That was why it was especially furious. The black dragon formed by the poisonous mist and objects let out a furious roar in midair, spitting out something that looked like a dragon's breath from its mouth. However, that was not true dragon breath, but poison.
The little golden silkworm still remained unmoved as it wheezed and surged forward … The flight was so unsightly, yet it was still flying, and it seemed very encouraging.
Seeing the dragon breath fly towards them, the little golden silkworm unexpectedly didn't dodge at all, instead, it directly dove into the dragon breath. He only saw a small ball of golden light continue to move forward, piercing through the dragon breath. The poison could kill thousands of people, but it didn't seem to mean anything to the little golden silkworm.
Qu Liuxi smirked: "Even though it's only an Aurous Core that was refined in a rush, other than absorbing the poison as nourishment, it doesn't have anything else. People said that there was an expert in the art of alchemy. This Jindan had no other uses, it could absorb all poisons. Furthermore, it will evolve as it absorbs more and more poisonous gases. It might even become a Purple-Rank Divine Pellet someday. "
The little golden silkworm puffed up its cheeks in midair and struggled to inhale, sucking in all of the dragon breath that was rolling in its mouth. Swallowing a large amount of dragon breath, the little golden silkworm's body seemed to have grown slightly larger.
"Destroy!"
Zhuge Chouyun, who was floating in mid air, was extremely furious. She turned into a big hand and grabbed at the little golden silkworm.
The Orthodox Pure Yang in An Zheng's hand went over to receive it, and the large black hand grabbed onto the sun-like Orthodox Pure Yang in midair, cried out Ah before fiercely releasing it. The hand was still smoking as if it had been burned. The Orthodox Pure Yang protected the little golden silkworm while the little golden silkworm engulfed the black dragon like a snake swallowing an elephant. The scene looked even more shocking than when a snake swallowed an elephant.
The black dragon was at least a hundred meters long, while the little golden silkworm was only the size of a finger. Everyone was flabbergasted when they saw this.
At this time, in the entire Embroidery Palace, the only place that was not destroyed was the peony pavilion. At this time, the entire Embroidery Palace had caved in, the places that were less were at least 10 metres, and the places that were more were tens of metres deep. There was no place under the pavilion that had been destroyed. It was like a pillar holding up the pavilion. The white-clothed young monk in the peony pavilion continued to sit cross-legged. He couldn't help but slightly shake his head as he looked at the little golden silkworm that had climbed up from the sky.
"In the end, the martial arts world belongs to young people."
He clearly didn't look that old, but when he spoke his tone was a bit old and haughty.
However, the more powerful a cultivator's cultivation, the harder it was for them to determine their true age.
It was obvious that An Zheng's previous Orthodox Pure Yang and Qu Liuxi's little golden silkworm had shocked him greatly. This person from the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions had seen the talent of this youth from the Central Plains for the first time.
Zhuge Chouyun's crazy attacks had nearly exhausted her Cultivation Power, so that round of Orthodox Pure Yang was gradually weakening.
An Zheng's mouth was still spitting blood, Qu Liuxi supported him up just as she was about to summon the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace.
At that moment, a loud voice bellowed from the distance.
"Demon!"
A Old Taoist wearing a blue daoist robe stepped on a flying sword. The originally seemingly impenetrable justice and impenetrable quality seemed so hypocritical at this moment.
The Old Taoist hovered in the air, and said to Zhuge Chouyun righteously and solemnly: "I knew that there was a demon coming for me, no matter how hard I thought, I never expected that it would actually be you. You bewitched the empress dowager, tried to usurp the position of emperor, how a good great swallow had been plagued by you. Today, I will represent the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, and represent the cultivators of the State of Yan. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will kill you! "
"Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao Zhou Jiuji, vows to kill traitors!"
He waved his hand, and the flying sword beneath his feet immediately grew in size, transforming into a golden great sword that was at least a few dozen metres long, chopping down towards Zhuge Chouyun.
"Fellow cultivator of the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, you are not fighting alone. Our Xiao Family has been a subject of the great swallow for generations. Throughout all these years, the Xiao family had never forgotten their ancestors' teachings. Life is a State of Yan, death is a State of Yan ghost. Today, everyone in the Xiao family will stand up to those traitors and fight to the death. Even if our family becomes extinct, we will not be in cahoots with those traitors! "
An old man dressed in silk clothes flew over from afar, and chased after Zhuge Chouyun together with th
e Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao's Zhou Jiuji.
"My Zhao Clan also followed the Ancestor in his campaign of war. As long as anyone from the Zhao Clan still has a breath of life left, they will be completely irreconcilable with a traitor!"
"Sly!"
"Kill the monster!"
"I represent the people of great swallow, I want to tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
"I knew that you, Zhuge Chouyun, were nothing good since a long time ago. It's just that I didn't expect you to be so ambitious! I can only blame myself for not investigating. If I had known earlier that you were such a traitor, I would have killed you with my life on the line! "
One cultivator after another began to gather from every single direction. This scene was quite a sight to behold.
An Zheng powerlessly sat on the ground. The first thing he did was to put the Nine Hell Magic Bell away. Qu Liuxi supported him and casually found a slope to lean on. He raised his head to look at the many cultivators fighting in the sky and couldn't help but laugh: "If I knew earlier, there would be so many loyal soldiers and volunteers in State of Yan. Why do you think we came out for?"
Qu Liuxi was also a little tired, and didn't feel the dirt on the ground either. She sat down next to An Zheng and rested her head on An Zheng's shoulder: "These loyal subjects must have drank too much when discussing the great matter of hoeing the adulterers last night. After this is over, we still need to complain to each other. It's all your family's fault for letting me drink too much. "
An Zheng scoffed, "When did you become so good at talking?"
Qu Liuxi laughed and said: "Nearer is fat."
An Zheng raised his hand and caressed her hair: "Take a break, then go check out Fatty's situation. There is nothing left for us to do now, those big figures who represent justice and justice will crush Zhuge Chouyun to death. "
Qu Liuxi helped him up: "Let's go and find another place to rest. Otherwise, everyone would be worried."
The little golden silkworm wobbled down from the air and landed on Qu Liuxi's shoulder.
