Chapter 285.

Of all the people present, the eyes of this Demon Blade Guest was the only one that was out of place.

That kind of cold and a little provocative, and even a little mocking look, made Zhou An frown straight away.

He carefully thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that he had not had any encounters with the Demon Blade Guest, and it could even be said that this was the first time the two had met.

This, Zhou An was certain of.

However, this first meeting, the Demon Blade Guest’s behavior made Zhou An very unhappy.

Zhou An stopped his footsteps and looked indifferently at the Devil Blade Guest, faintly saying, “I killed your mom?”

The Devil Blade Guest froze slightly, and even the grim sight stopped.

Zhou An shook his head, “It doesn’t seem so, then I killed your aunt?”

The arm of the Demon Blade Guest holding the sword, trembled slightly, as if he could not stand it any longer.

This kind of opening was simply explosive.

He really couldn’t figure out why Zhou An, with his status, would ask such words.

It was too rude!

Zhou An paced back and forth, “Then I should have killed one of your relatives.”

He said this with great conviction, as if the reason was so.

The Devil Swordsman finally reacted, his trembling hands regaining their composure, “Zhou An, victory or defeat is not yet known, you can fell up against the odds, I can likewise do the same, don’t let the wind blow your tongue and turn over the boat in the gutter.”

Zhou An let out an oh, brushing his hand over the blade of his long sword, “Everyone is busy, so let’s not waste any time, catch some progress, which one of you will come first, or come together.”

After the competition, Zhou An had to go back to his liver proficiency, he didn’t have time to hang around here.

The progress of the Butcher’s Knife was already getting higher and higher, and he didn’t want to waste time.

“I’ll go first!”

Ouyang Ming stood out first, still wearing metal gloves on his hands, and arched his hand at Zhou An, “Ouyang Ming of the Great Yue Country, a martial artist, specializing in boxing, please instruct me.”

This set of style was similar to the challenges in the jianghu, and did not hide the meaning, but instead was very open.

When Ouyang Ming stepped forward, those All Saints Realm experts, retreated to the bottom of the ring, watching the situation from afar.

Other than the All Saint Realm on the side of the Great Chu Kingdom, the All Saint Realms of the other two countries did not know much about Zhou An.

At most, they had only heard a legend.

But with something like a legend, sometimes when it was passed down, it was passed down in a distorted manner.

Now that they were able to see it in person, they were of course happy to do so, and were even a little excited.

The excitement was in being able to see just how similar Zhou An was to the legend.

“Zhou An of the Great Chu Kingdom, specializing in sword techniques.” Zhou An said.

If others followed the rules, Zhou An would follow the rules as well, he had never been a person that you respected me a foot and I respected you a battle.

He had a good impression of Ouyang Ming, at least open enough.

Ouyang Ming nodded, then without any nonsense, he raised his fist and swung it towards Zhou An.

This punch was swung out with great force.

Between Ouyang Ming and Zhou An, there was a distance of at least ten feet, but when Ouyang Ming swung this fist, the wind arrived in an instant.

Within the wind, there was a dense amount of air, which was terrifying.

If an ordinary All Saints realm received this punch, it was estimated that they would be drenched in sweat.

The terrifying fist wind formed a millstone-sized fist made up of air, and hammered down hard on the top of Zhou An’s head.

Zhou An narrowed his eyes, then revolved the air in his body and struck the long black blade from bottom to top at Ouyang Ming.

He did not dodge as a layer of golden light surfaced on his body.

The light of casting himself covered Zhou An’s body, making Zhou An look as if he was a Buddha who taught people to convert.

The millstone-sized fist print quickly landed on Zhou An’s body.

But in the next moment, the golden light on Zhou An’s body didn’t even shake a bit before the fist disappeared.

And at that moment, the ebony green colored blade light, had already arrived in front of Ouyang Ming.

Ouyang Ming’s eyes were wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

That punch, which looked like it was only the size of a millstone, was already his full strength.

Small, didn’t mean weak, instead it meant concentrated to the extreme, the power that was realistically enhanced.

If this place wasn’t a specially crafted martial arts arena, I’m afraid that it would have been completely destroyed in a matter of moments.

But it was this kind of intensity of horrifying attack that landed on top of Zhou An’s cast body, but it couldn’t set off the slightest wind or wave.

Instead, it was the auburn-colored blade light that caused Ouyang Ming’s heart to shake.

As an expert of the All Saints realm, he could feel that this ebony-blue blade light was extremely pure.

Pure to the point that it was the ultimate destruction, shocking to the eye.

Ouyang Ming realized that his entire body’s qi was actually blocked by this ebony-blue blade light, in its entirety.

As long as he took a step back, he would be greeted by Zhou An’s mountainous attack.

Without the slightest hesitation, he brought his fists together, and his gloves were covered with densely-packed Qi.

“Boom!”

The ebony-blue colored blade light was like a meteorite flying and falling, ruthlessly landing on top of Ouyang Ming’s gloves.

Smoke and dust rose in all directions, deafening.

The metal gloves on Ouyang Ming’s arm immediately shattered into countless fragments and flew down in all directions after the attack of the ebony-blue colored blade light.

A drop of cold sweat slid down from Ouyang Ming’s forehead.

Less than three inches in front of his brow, rested the ebony-blue blade light, like a poisonous snake spitting out its mail, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

“I’ve lost.”

Ouyang Ming smiled bitterly and looked at his empty hands, which hung down powerlessly.

This strike, the defeat was tragic and direct.

He knew very well in his heart that if Zhou An hadn’t stayed his hand, he would have only moved his head.

At this moment, Ouyang Ming suddenly had a realization.

“The legend of the Great Chu Kingdom is not false, between Zhou An and I, there is an insurmountable rift.”

Ouyang Ming looked somewhat disheveled.

A long-famous All Saints Realm expert had lost in the hands of a youngster, even a youngster of the Tongling Realm, anyone else would feel disheveled.

“I came on this trip to look for a gap, and in this way, I have found it.”

Soon, Ouyang Ming regained his composure.

As a martial artist, or even a martial artist of the All Saint realm, he had experienced too much in his life.

Although he had been dealt a blow, it was not to the extent that he had no desire to progress ever again.

“I am convinced by the profound strength of Lord Zhou.” Ouyang Ming arched his hand and said.

Zhou An leaned his long black sword on the ground, “I am obliged.”

Ouyang Ming nodded, then walked down the ring of the martial arts arena.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent.

As Zhou An looked around the past, everyone seemed to be motionless as if they were still statues.

In the hearts of the All Saint realm experts, bitterness could not help but rise up in all of them.

“If I were to receive that slash, I would have only turned into flying dust on the spot.”

“Zhou An’s name, the legends in the Jianghu, are only few and far between.”

“It is enough to see this knife in this life.”

Although bitter, they were convinced.

There was only one person who had other thoughts in his mind.

The Demon Blade Guest clenched his fists, his face was extremely ugly, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.

That blade, as he watched, was already sweating.

As an expert with a sword, the Devil Blade Guest knew that he would never be able to receive it in his ordinary state.

“It seems that this medicine, needs to be used.”

The Devil Blade Guest took out the wooden box, removed the elixir inside, and placed it under his tongue.

The elixir had not melted, and it required the Magic Blade Guest to transition onto the elixir with his air before the medicinal properties could be utilized.

Seeing the Demon Blade Guest’s actions, Zhou An sneered, “Taking medicine, it seems like you’re not very good at it.”

Hearing Zhou An’s mockery, the Devil Blade Guest carried his long sword and walked to the ring in the martial arts arena, “Da Qi Kingdom, Devil Blade Guest, make the sword.”

He didn’t want to bullshit right now.

Especially when he thought about, what Emperor Feng Teng of the Great Qi Kingdom had said to him.

The current him had only one thought, and that was to kill Zhou An.

After introducing himself, the Demon Blade Guest quickly worked the Qi in his body, preparing to galvanize his Blade Intent.

His Blade Intent was to briefly dim all his consciousness, giving himself the ability to fell up against the odds.

Coupled with the elixir in his mouth, the Devil Blade Guest was certain that he would be able to decimate Zhou An.

“Later, let’s see how you die.” The Devil Blade Guest thought with a cold smile.

But at that moment, before completely dimming his consciousness, the Devil Blade Guest heard a voice.

“Your smile, it’s ugly.”

As the words fell, the Devil Blade Guest suddenly felt a sound of wind coming from him.

When he raised his head, he saw an extremely shocking scene.

Above the sky, it was covered with densely packed terrifying blade lights.

Previously, when he had fought against Ouyang Ming, there was only one, but now, the blade lights were so bright that one couldn’t see them at a glance.

In this scene, not only did the Demon Blade Guest freeze, even the All Saint realm experts present froze on the spot.

“I had thought that that one blade light would be enough to shock the world, but who would have thought that this blade light, could be wielded with a casual hand.”

“This person, is he really at the Tongling realm?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could a passive spirit realm person wield such a dense and terrifying blade light?”

“What’s impossible, that’s Zhou An!”

The many experts of the All Saints Realm were all dumbstruck, and the bitterness in their hearts was on the verge of gathering into an ocean.

It was only then that Ouyang Ming realized that the true gap between him and Zhou An was like the gap between heaven and earth.

“It turns out that the slash that left me helpless, was actually swung casually.”

At this moment, the feeling of powerlessness in Ouyang Ming’s heart grew stronger.

The Devil Blade Guest stood on the ring of the martial arts arena and was the one who felt it the most profoundly.

The densely packed ebony-blue colored blade lights, occupying the entire sky, all the blade lights, all pointing at him, that shocking feeling, was like walking a tightrope on a cliff.

“A true life and death crisis!”

Without hesitation, the Devil Blade Guest stimulated his own blade intent, and at the same time, catalyzed the elixir under his tongue.

Madness, which occupied the Devil Blade Guest’s mind, and the dimming of all consciousness caused the Devil Blade Guest’s entire body to tremble violently.

Coupled with the prodding of the elixir, before the consciousness dinged out completely, the Devil Blade Guest felt that he was stable.

The last trace of consciousness, completely disappeared.

A layer of madness shrouded the Devil Blade Guest’s body.

He raised the blade in his hand, and a blade light that covered the sky blossomed from the long blade.

Everyone present all looked at this blade light, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They realized that the Demonic Bladesman of Dimming Extinction Consciousness was also extremely terrifying.

Subconsciously, the crowd turned their sights, betting on Zhou An.

“How will he, how will he respond?”

The many All Saints Realm experts wanted to see so much as a hint of surprise or nervousness in Zhou An’s expression.

But unfortunately, Zhou An’s face was calm, and he even uttered a remark about his blood pressure spiking.

“Oh? Just this?”

Just this!

These two words fully expressed disdain.

Just like when doing something indescribable, when a woman spat out these two words, it would always stir up a man’s fighting mentality.

Numerous All Saints Realm experts said that their blood pressure was a bit high, and that they had to go back to find a healer to treat them.

Zhou An didn’t care about this, he even felt that he didn’t need to fight at all.

This was because, by observing from the outside, this Demon Bladesman’s Dimming Consciousness, as well as that elixir, seemed to be temporary states.

Briefly referred to as buffs!

Since they were temporary states, it would be done if they were dispelled.

Dispelling it, the ninth level Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body stated that these were minor problems.

Zhou An waved out a white light that enveloped the Demon Blade Runner.

The dispelling of the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body began to take effect quickly.

Then, a shocking scene appeared.

The blade light that the Demonic Blade Guest had condensed was originally able to catch the sky and connect to the earth.

However, as the state was dispelled, that blade light, surprisingly, was shrinking rapidly.

In just an instant, less than one-fifth of it remained.

The Devil Blade Guest froze as he realized that he had unexpectedly regained his sobriety, while the realm had once again fallen to the All Saints realm.

“What is this!”

“He can undo my state!”

“It’s over!”

Three thoughts.

The first was doubt, the second was conviction, and the third was despair.

This was because the terrifying ebony-blue blade light had already fallen sharply.

“I recognize ……”

The Devil Blade Guest opened his mouth, and before the word “lose” could be uttered, he was engulfed by the ebony-blue colored blade light.

A puff of flying ash rose up, and with the roar of the blade light, the Demon Blade Guest was reduced to smoke.

Zhou An sighed, “Alas, it can’t be helped, he temporarily elevated to the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, I only have the Tongling Realm, so I can only go all out.”

“Who knows that he suddenly dropped back to the All Sacred Realm, and everyone knows that in a battle of life and death, there is no way to be able to stop.”

“It can’t be helped, I also blame my own poor control.”

The many All Saints Realm experts were still in that terrifying blade light for a long time.

But after hearing Zhou An’s words, their entire being was bad.

They wanted to shout out, “You should act a little more real even if you’re acting!

How did such words that didn’t go anywhere come out of your mouth?

“So fake.”

Only Black Jade, at this point in time, spat out a sentence.

The reason why Zhou An wanted to kill the Demon Blade Guest was because at the beginning, the Demon Blade Guest had revealed his killing intent towards him.

He was not a stupid person, and he only needed to move his head to figure out the crux of the matter.

This was the Great Qi Kingdom preparing to use the Demon Blade Guest’s hand to get rid of himself.

Since this was the case, Zhou An would only begrudgingly, settle for the Demon Blade Guest.

Zhou An stroked Black Jade’s head and turned his head, “Gentlemen, the victory and defeat have been decided, so after a few days of cultivation, let’s set off.”

With the matter settled, Zhou An still had business to attend to.

Time was squeezed out, and Zhou An still had to grab some time to liver his proficiency.

There was even the secret letter that had been fished out, and Zhou An was curious as to what exactly was in it.

By the time Zhou An had left, the people present still hadn’t returned to their senses.

A gust of wind blew by.

Ouyang Ming sighed, “Know the inadequacy and then be brave, gentlemen, stick to your hearts.”

The crowd smiled bitterly at his words.

This shock is too great, the original heart is just a little bit, it’s hard to do ah ……

What happened afterward, including what these people were thinking, Zhou An did not know.

He had already taken the black jade, returned to his room, and continued to liver up the Butcher’s Knife Technique.

The selection for the Guile Hunt had already ended, and it only needed a few days of rest and recuperation before he could set off on the Guile Hunt.

And during this period of time, Zhou An did not waste it, giving full play to his Liver Emperor nature.

Every single day, he would enter within the Psychic Space to liver proficiency.

After coming out, he would continue to liver Butcher’s Sword Technique.

Going back and forth like this, he didn’t feel tired.

Time, just like this, gradually passed.

Supervision Division.

The State Master put down the letter in his hand, his face somewhat ugly.

The content on top of the letter had already been read by him all over again.

The more he looked down, the worse the State Master’s face became.

A few moments later, the State Master placed the letter in his hands into his arms, got up and exited the Inspection Division, walking towards the location of the Imperial Palace.

The journey was unobstructed.

Walking through the road paved with green stone slabs, the vermillion walls on both sides kept falling back.

Not long after, the State Master, with a gloomy face, arrived at Emperor Xingwu’s imperial study.

At this time, Emperor Xingwu was in the process of correcting his sonnets, and when he saw that the State Master had arrived, especially with a grave face, his brows furrowed.

“What has happened, why such an expression?”

Emperor Xingwu put the brush in his hand to one side and asked, “What could make even you show such an expression, is it possible that your disciple asked a question?”

Emperor Xingwu was aware of Xin Yuan’s matter.

This matter was under the full responsibility of the State Master, so Emperor Xingwu did not bother about it, after all, it was also considered a family matter of the State Master.

But now the expression on the State Master’s face made Emperor Xingwu think that it was something that happened on Xin Yuan’s side.

“Your Majesty, that letter, deciphered.”

The State Master reached into his pocket, took out the secret letter, and placed it on the table.

“Didn’t it say it would take five days, so soon?” Emperor Xingwu picked up the letter.

The State Master nodded and said, “I stepped up the speed, and with more luck during that time, the deciphering was a little faster.”

Emperor Xingwu gave a hmmm and casually opened the letter in his hand, reading it carefully.

Then, Emperor Xingwu’s expression changed.

He first looked calm, but then doubt appeared on his face.

It didn’t take long for the doubt to turn into shock.

In the end, the shock disappeared and was replaced by gloom and anger.

On Emperor Xingwu’s body, a powerful aura was flowing.

The walls around him began to tremble slightly, and the ink and paper on the table trembled at the same time.

Even his cultivation, his joy and anger as an emperor, was somewhat uncontrollable at this time.

A figure flashed by.

Eunuch Wei and the Prime Minister, as well as the Chief Secretary who was far away from the Zhen Gui Si, successively sensed Emperor Xingwu’s situation, and coincidentally, came to the Imperial Study Room at the fastest speed.

In the Chief Secretary’s hand, he was also carrying a long spear.

“Your Majesty, calm your anger, what happened?” The Prime Minister asked with a frown.

The remaining few people looked at each other and did not say anything, but what the Prime Minister asked just now represented what they wanted to say.

At this moment, all the top executives of the Great Chu Kingdom were gathered in the Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Xingwu placed the letter on the table, gradually calming his anger at this point, and said, “Take a look for yourselves.”

The Prime Minister received it in his hands and read it carefully.

Eunuch Wei and the Chief Minister also stood aside and watched the secret letter together.

Immediately afterward, their expressions, became exactly the same as Emperor Xingwu’s.

Eunuch Wei revealed a cold smile.

The Chief Secretary’s hand holding his lance showed veins.

Even the Prime Minister, who had always been known for his scholarly cultivation, was not in good shape at this time, his long beard flying, and his whiskers and hair carrying a terrifying pressure.

“Snap!”

The secret letter was slapped on the table.

The Prime Minister said in a cold voice: “A thief of the people, deserve death!”

Eunuch Wei said grimly, “We knew that the resources of the Great Qi Kingdom would not be asked for so easily, so this is the reason.”

“Are all the scouts of the Great Qi Kingdom mobilized to collect a lot of intelligence?” The Chief Secretary asked.

Emperor Xingwu looked at the expressions of these few people and shook his head, “You guys told me to calm down, but your anger is even higher than mine.”

“Don’t act rashly, I naturally have a plan, but before that, go and call Zhou An over.”

“You guys also don’t leave, discuss together.”

With Emperor Xingwu’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Eunuch Wei called a small eunuch and told him to go call Zhou An, and waited patiently.

Inside the Imperial Study, a momentary silence fell, no one spoke, and it became as if a pin could be heard.

“What, calling me over?”

Zhou An was still in the middle of his liver proficiency when he heard the little eunuch come over to deliver the message, and could not help but be puzzled.

Inexplicably, he suddenly called himself over.

Now that the Guile Hunt had been selected, Zhou An could not think of anything else.

The little eunuch lowered his head, tucked his hands in his sleeves, and whispered, “I don’t know what the reason is, Sir Zhou hurry up and set off, or else His Majesty will be waiting impatiently.”

Zhou An stroked his chin and nodded his head, “Alright, I’ll go over right away.”

Since there was something going on, Zhou An didn’t dawdle, taking Black Jade with him, under the lead of the little eunuch, he headed to Emperor Xingwu’s Imperial Study Room.

Along the way, naturally, nothing happened, Zhou An was very smooth, and arrived in front of the Imperial Study.

The little eunuch naturally didn’t dare to go further, said goodbye and left.

Zhou An didn’t say anything, and after arriving at the door of the Imperial Study, he pushed the door in.

Just after entering the imperial study, Zhou An saw the people in the imperial study and froze on the spot.

Good fellow!

Inside here, there was a collection of the top bigwigs from various organizations in the Great Chu Kingdom, the pressure was not generally great!

In the place of an All Saints Realm expert, it was estimated that he would have to weigh his own weight, and even walk with caution.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An said that there was definitely something big going on in here, and it was still something heavenly.

Of course, he was not restrained, but very naturally took a few steps forward and walked to stand in front of Emperor Xingwu.

Zhou An looked around in a circle and arched his hand, “Greetings to Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, Chief Minister, State Master, and Prime Minister.”

Politeness, naturally, was still necessary, after all, these were all big brother level figures, and to Zhou An, that was also seniors.

Emperor Xingwu nodded, pointing to the desk, saying, “I called you here because there is a letter here, you and see what is on it.”

Zhou An sniffed and his eyes fell on the desk in front of him.

On top of the desk, an opened letter landed peacefully on the desktop.

Zhou An raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t this the letter I gave to Eunuch Wei, it seems to have been deciphered early.”

With such a thought in mind, Zhou An took out the letter and carefully read it.
