CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 417 TREASON_3

Liu Sheng Wu Jian wore a black robe and wooden clogs, a typical Yun Country attire.

What caught Gao Xuan’s attention the most was the long sword at Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s waist. Though the sword was sheathed, it exuded the aura of the Five Elements Wheel of Reincarnation.

The change in the sword’s aura resonated with the flow of Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s blood. In the flow of Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s blood, Gao Xuan sensed a pure and powerful Sword Intent.

"Martial God..."

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised, how did another Martial God appear just after he had become one? Was this person here specifically to pair up with him?

If it was indeed for pairing, it should have been a female.

Gao Xuan and Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s auras intertwined, instantly revealing each other’s true power level.

However, Liu Sheng Wu Jian wasn’t as perceptive as Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan was also at the Blood-Born God level of a Martial God. Yet he could completely control the Blood Divine Intent, revealing nothing at all.

No matter how advanced the martial arts of outsiders were, they couldn’t discern Gao Xuan’s true strength. Being an assassin, he excelled at this.

If Gao Xuan wished, he could even suppress his aura and not let the blood-like-silver-mercury aura leak out.

But since he had already demonstrated a skill at the Hidden Blade Hall, it wouldn’t be appropriate to hide anything from Sun Shangdao.

This time coming out, he deliberately showcased the realm of blood like silver mercury. A Martial Saint should suffice.

Unexpectedly, he encountered two formidable opponents at once.

Upon discovering that Gao Xuan was a Martial Saint, Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s gaze became noticeably more murderous.

Like Mengtu, he couldn’t tolerate Wu Sheng but couldn’t allow Gao Xuan to grow into a Martial God either.

Gao Xuan chuckled, if these two dared to act, he’d give them a big surprise!

Gao Xuan realized that these two relied on external objects to achieve their Dao. Compared to him, they were still lacking a bit.

Not to mention his martial arts wisdom, which wasn’t something these natives could compare to. Killing them shouldn’t be difficult...

However, their power levels were quite high, making them very dangerous.

Just as Gao Xuan was about to caution Sun Shangdao to be a bit more careful, he suddenly sensed an abnormal gathering of strong Thunderbolt Power in the air.

He immediately knew something was wrong; someone was casting Thunder Skill.

Gao Xuan looked towards the source of the Thunderbolt Power in the sky and saw Mother of Non-Birth in a black Magic Robe.

This old woman had a full moon-like face, full of wrinkles, yet bore a kind and amiable appearance.

It was Gao Xuan’s first time seeing the leader of the Path of Non-Birth, yet just by looking at her Divine Soul aura, he knew she must be the Mother of Non-Birth. Behind her stood Ye Mingxia.

Gao Xuan was a bit puzzled as to what this Mother of Non-Birth intended to do by publicly activating the Thunder Skill?

Mother of Non-Birth’s casting was extremely fast, also borrowing the power of Magical Artifacts. Almost instantaneously, she released a bolt of Thunder Light.

The conjured lightning from nothing struck fiercely at Hong Yi sitting on the throne.

Gao Xuan, being too far away, was a bit too late to stop the Thunder Skill. Moreover, Hong Yi himself was a master, with Wang Qing and Qi Donglai protecting him. Even if the Thunder Skill were ten times stronger, it wouldn’t harm Hong Yi.

More importantly, Gao Xuan sensed another powerful Martial God aura.

Dressed in a Profound Yellow Monk’s Robe, Zuo Bubei appeared senile and looked as if he could pass away at any moment. Yet inside, his Qi and blood exuded a steady, immovable, Buddha-like grand aura.

Behind Zuo Bubei, a gigantic golden Buddha appeared, several zhang tall. The giant Buddha’s golden body radiated bright light, its gaze full of compassion. Its powerful aura enveloped the entire venue.

All Martial Saints, including Sun Shangdao, were suppressed by the grand and infinite Divine Intent of the golden giant Buddha. Their inner Qi and blood surged like tides, yet they couldn’t resist the giant Buddha’s Divine Intent, being entirely suppressed.

Emperor Xuan Yuan, Hong Yi, sensed the danger and wanted to muster strength to resist, but he couldn’t withstand the overwhelmingly grand Divine Intent of the golden giant Buddha. His Qi and blood were tightly suppressed.

Chief Eunuch Wang Qing, sensing the danger, opened all his acupoints with his Qi and blood boiling like a tide.

But even without moving, the giant golden Buddha’s immovable and infinite Martial Arts Divine Intent was like an invisible mountain, suppressing Wang Qing’s Qi and blood.

At this crucial moment, the Dragon Robe on Emperor Hong Yi suddenly burst with layers of Golden Light, with nine golden dragons seemingly coming to life, about to leap out of the robe.

This Nine Dragon Robe was a powerful Divine Artifact, and although Hong Yi’s magic was mediocre, through Divine Intent perception, he could directly activate the Nine Dragon Body Protection.

Hong Yi was overjoyed, knowing that the Nine Dragons would be enough to withstand the Thunder Skill. As long as he survived this ordeal, the Path of Non-Birth would be annihilated.

As for Zuo Bubei, who might have already advanced to Martial God, he would temporarily stabilize him and agree to all his conditions... even if the latter intended to kill the emperor and revolt!

With his mind spinning, Hong Yi quickly figured out how to counter and manage the aftermath.

However, what he didn’t anticipate was that Qi Donglai, standing behind him, suddenly pointed a finger at the back of his neck. This one gesture disrupted all the changes in his Qi and blood and shattered the Divine Intent that Hong Yi had gathered.

Without Hong Yi’s Divine Intent order, the nine roaring golden dragons couldn’t leap out of the Dragon Robe.

In the blink of an eye, the descending Thunder Light struck directly, hitting Hong Yi on the head.

Hong Yi’s entire body shook, followed by a complete loss of aura.

The ferocious Thunder Skill instantly killed Emperor Hong Yi.

Wang Qing came to his senses at this moment, looking at the charred, coal-like Hong Yi, with a look of endless shock in his eyes.

Then he turned and looked fiercely at Qi Donglai. Had it not been for Qi Donglai’s betrayal at the critical moment, Hong Yi would not have been killed by the Thunder Skill.

Qi Donglai, a stern-faced middle-aged man, calmly said to Wang Qing, "Steward Wang, Zuo Bubei has become a Martial God, His Majesty had to die."

Wang Qing was initially furious, but hearing the word ’Martial God,’ his anger dissipated. He muttered, "If he’s become a Martial God, why go to such lengths?"

Qi Donglai did not explain. Whatever Zuo Bubei wanted to do, or how he intended to do it, they couldn’t control it. If they didn’t want to die, they’d have to go with the flow.
