Beneath the Emperor’s feet, just outside Luo Capital, someone dared to attack a marquis of Great Wei. Such audacity was beyond belief.
Jade Han’s expression turned icy. Who would dare challenge the authority of Great Wei?
“Do they not care about their nine generations?!”
A voice echoed from the void, “Oliver Sheng of Great Wei, I’ve been waiting for you.”
In the next moment, Tianxing, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, stepped out from the void.
He had arrived at Luo Capital of Great Wei two days ago. However, the dragon energy of Luo Capital suppressed his Yin Spirit too much, so he dared not enter lightly. He had to wait outside the city, and now, Oliver Sheng had finally come out.
Oliver frowned, looking at the Taoist in the sky. An enemy from Kunlun?
Tianxing, at the Great Perfection of the Yin Spirit realm, held a crimson longsword, with dragon shadows seemingly roaring on its blade.
“You’re from the Kunlun Daoist Sect?” Oliver asked.
“Seems you’re not entirely foolish, knowing why I’m here,” Tianxing pointed his sword at Oliver.
“Indeed, I am Tianxing of Kunlun. You killed my junior brother Tianxing. Today, by the order of our sect leader, I have come to take your head to honor my brother.”
Jade Han’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. The Kunlun Daoist Sect, the second most powerful Daoist sect in the world?
When did Oliver Sheng offend the Kunlun Daoist Sect?!
This was bad. The Kunlun Daoist Sect was known for its dominance and protectiveness. Many forces had to yield to them.
In this world, the Kunlun Daoist Sect was undoubtedly a hegemonic power.
The commotion outside the city gates quickly drew the attention of countless common people.
“What’s happening?”
“Who is that Taoist, daring to intercept our Champion Marquis outside Luo Capital of Great Wei?”
“Such audacity.”
“Let’s go, quickly, and see.”
In the palace, on the ninth floor of the Royal Armory, Ancestor Han Wu of Great Wei noticed the commotion the moment Tianxing made his move.
But he did not intervene, merely watching silently.
That Taoist was not a match for Oliver Sheng, and there was no need for him to step in.
“So that’s how it is!” Oliver nodded. After all this time, it made sense that the Kunlun Daoist Sect had tracked him down.
But they underestimated him, sending only a Great Perfection Yin Spirit to kill him.
Did they not know he had fought a Martial Saint before?
Well, it made sense. His battle with the Martial Saint was deep in the Barbarian grasslands. Only the Dark Moon Palace, some Barbarians, and a few people from Great Wei knew about it; outsiders were unaware.
Tianxing looked at Oliver’s initial Grandmaster aura, knowing it was fake. With just an initial Grandmaster cultivation, he couldn’t have killed his junior brother Tianxing.
“Come and meet your death,” Tianxing said arrogantly. Just a mere general of a dynasty, killing him was nothing.
What could Great Wei do to him?
Oliver sneered. It seemed his conflict with the Kunlun Daoist Sect was destined to be irreconcilable. He leaped from his horse into the sky.
“Nice sword. Are you here to gift it to me?” Oliver said with a smile.
“Sharp-tongued. I hope your strength matches your words,” Tianxing slashed with his sword, the crimson sword light like a dragon.
The Red Dragon Sword in Tianxing’s hand was a Yang Spirit Dao sword with terrifying power, and in his hands, its strength was astonishing.
Oliver could feel the extraordinariness of the sword, thinking he was in need of a good sword.
Jade Han and the others watched in horror as the sword energy slashed down.
That sword energy posed a deadly threat to them. If it were aimed at them, they would be doomed.
A high-level Daoist at the Great Perfection of the Yin Spirit realm, wielding a Yang Spirit Dao sword, was unstoppable below the Yang Spirit realm.
Amidst countless terrified gazes, Oliver punched out, his fiery fist intent erupting like a tsunami, instantly shattering the sword energy.
“Indeed, you have some skill. No wonder my junior brother Tianxing fell to you,” Tianxing said seriously, seeing Oliver unharmed after taking his sword strike.
This strike was not something an ordinary Great Grandmaster could easily withstand.
The Yang Spirit Dao sword was not just for show.
“Show me what you’ve got, or you won’t have another chance,” Oliver said, not taking Tianxing seriously at all.
Just a Great Perfection Yin Spirit, even with a Yang Spirit Dao sword, was like a child wielding a weapon.
“Arrogant!”
Tianxing was furious, daring to steal his lines.
He slashed through the air, the sword energy like a vast river, cutting towards Oliver.
At the same time, he formed a hand seal, sending out a spell, attacking from both sides.
Flames rose from Oliver’s body, a protective True Qi formed from True Essence.
He struck with a palm, his True Essence roaring like waves, crashing towards Tianxing.
Boom!!
A terrifying explosion erupted in the sky, the oppressive power making everyone on the ground tremble.
“So strong!”
People couldn’t help but exclaim, watching the two figures battling in the sky. Even Grandmasters seemed dim in comparison, not daring to step forward.
Grandmasters from the Black Robe Guards and the Demon Slayer Division sensed the battle outside the city and rushed over, but only dared to watch from the city walls.
Jasper Zuo, the commander of the Black Robe Guards, and Feng Yinlie, the chief of the Demon Slayer Division, watched the battle in the sky with grim expressions.
As Great Grandmasters themselves, they dared not join the battle to help Champion Marquis Oliver Sheng.
Not because the opponent was from the Kunlun Daoist Sect.
But because if they went to help, they might be accidentally killed.
The power of Oliver Sheng and Tianxing’s battle had surpassed the Great Grandmaster level, reaching a realm they couldn’t touch.
Chen Junxiao, Xue Hu, and other Grandmasters from the Demon Slayer Division and Black Robe Guards couldn’t keep up with the high-altitude battle.
Their minds couldn’t keep up with their eyes.
In just a few breaths, Oliver Sheng and Tianxing had exchanged dozens of moves.
The battle outside the city caught the attention of Empress Hazel Han, who was in court. She frowned slightly.
Who dared to battle outside Luo Capital?
Several Great Grandmasters in Luo Capital also rushed over to watch.
“Who is that Taoist, daring to battle Champion Marquis?” a Great Grandmaster asked.
“Someone from the Kunlun Daoist Sect!”
“Kunlun Daoist Sect?”
“When did Champion Marquis offend someone from the Kunlun Daoist Sect?”
Several Great Grandmasters’ expressions changed upon hearing it was someone from the Kunlun Daoist Sect.
They had initially thought of helping Champion Marquis Oliver Sheng to form a good relationship.
But upon hearing it was someone from the Kunlun Daoist Sect, they abandoned the idea.
The Kunlun Daoist Sect was not someone they could afford to offend.
Countless people looked up at the sky, where Oliver Sheng fought Tianxing blow for blow.
Tianxing unleashed his spells, sword techniques, and divine abilities, but the more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong. Why couldn’t he seem to harm his opponent?
“Fire Dragon, release!” Tianxing cast a spell.
Then he threw out several talismans.
“Explode!!”
The talismans exploded, their powerful energy spreading, but unable to tear through Oliver’s protective True Qi.
Oliver shattered the fire dragon with a palm, then punched, sending Tianxing flying hundreds of meters.
Tianxing’s heart sank. He seemed to have underestimated this man’s strength.
“Soul-Extinguishing Needle, go!”
Tianxing unleashed the Soul-Extinguishing Needle, aiming directly at Oliver’s Divine Soul.
The Soul-Extinguishing Needle was specifically for targeting the Divine Soul, to kill the enemy’s soul invisibly.
But he didn’t know that Oliver’s Divine Soul was stronger than his. To Oliver, the Soul-Extinguishing Needle posed no threat.
Boom!!
With a punch, Oliver shattered the Soul-Extinguishing Needle.
“Old Taoist, is that all you’ve got?” Oliver mocked.
If he hadn’t wanted to see the various techniques and divine abilities of the Kunlun Daoist Sect, he would have killed him long ago.
Seeing the Soul-Extinguishing Needle fail to harm Oliver, and facing Oliver’s taunts, Tianxing couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. He couldn’t believe that as a high-level cultivator of the Kunlun Daoist Sect, wielding a Yang Spirit Dao sword, he couldn’t kill a mere martial artist.
“Falling Star Sword, descend!” Tianxing raised his sword, unleashing a sword technique.
Crimson sword lights descended from the sky like falling stars.
