Chapter 1187: Ten Foot Demon
The Three Thousand Daos were naturally differentiated by strength. As the five elements were born out from Yin and Yang, they were above the five elements.
The Yin Yang and five elements came from the Beginning and ended with the End. Which is why they were all countered by the Unlimited Beginning and End Technique. There was a difference in order and pretty much couldn’t be crossed.
The Fuling God Sword of Sword Sect could flip and invert, causing Zong Shou’s Unlimited Beginning and End Technique to be beneath the Yin and Yang and five elements and be countered instead.
A more simple explanation which is originally based on the Heaven and Earth Laws, an iron sword would beat a wooden sword. However, after the Float word acted on it, wood would beat iron. This was the Float word ability, inverting and permuting.
Which is why although this ability wasn’t close to the source of the Dao but it was extremely strong! It had a similar effect to the Great Qin’s twelve Copper Men.
This was the case now. It improved the various Daos that the Common People’s Sword Formation was involved in and reduced the laws of the Ninety Heaven Ten Earth Formation to the lowest grade.
It caused the weaker Common People’s Sword Formation to end up suppressing it.
It also largely reduced the pressure that Zong Shou faced.
Common People’s Sword Formation could control the power of Heaven and Earth, the tribulation power of the Dao. At this moment, using the God Refined Sword as the main sword and with Wei Xu controlling it, the strength of the formation was much stronger than during the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle.
Being swept by the vast Common Life Sword Energy, no matter how Li Biexue weaved and fixed the blood cloud, it was slashed apart.
The Nine Heaven Ten Earth Blood Formation was incomplete. This allowed Zong Shou to step forwards more, to struggle free from the danger of losing his mind.
“After this Float God Ability should be the Heaven Extinction Earth Destruction…”
The moment such a thought flashed across his mind, thousands of different sword lights slashed down from the sky.
A set of Fuling Sword Formation, apart from the Fuling main sword, it needed six Saint Realm experts to control. 24 of them were God Realm and there were 1,000 Spirit Realm cultivators.
At this moment, a sky full of sword lights slashed down, like it could really destroy the entire area!
A sharp energy smashed into the Fenghua Palace, causing smoke and dust to rise up. It also caused the restrictions in the palace to shake and come to the brink of collapse.
Zong Shou looked towards the 99-storey tower. His World Burning Blood Eyes could pass through the heavy restrictions to see Li Biexue’s body.
Only to see that Wushang Yuan Demon frowned and was finding it tough.
Using the power of one formation to resist two top killing formations, even the third strongest person after Xiuguan and Cibei couldn’t hold on.
Zong Shou took one look before retracting his gaze. He knew that these two sword formations weren’t enough to harm Li Biexue.
He directly looked towards the reading room, his spiritual sense locking onto Yinyu.
“Yinyu if you are willing to kill yourself and admit your sins to say the truth to the people, to remove the insults you said to Buhui and return his body, then I can left off your family and your concubines. If not…”
Zong shou paused. Although his tone was flat, it was filled with killing intent.
“I will kill your entire family and wipe them out from existence! That is all I have to say, when you die don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”
Jin Buhui didn’t care about his reputation but Zong Shou had to.
How could he allow his best friend to be called a traitor, to head to reincarnation with the hatred of billions?
For this, even if he gave up the chance of wiping out the country and allowing the throne of Great Shang to be passed down, he could accept it.
Yinyu found it amusing in the reading room. Kill himself? Admit his sins? Wipe out his family?
Was Zong Shou talking to him? Or had he gone mad?
“Is there water in your brain? What ability do you have to dare force me to kill myself?”
In his heart, he was thinking that way and he also said that. He started to joke, “Jin Buhui is my minister but he colluded with you. Isn’t that the truth? To say that he had bad intentions, I wasn’t wrong.”
He continued, “Actually, I can admit my sins! You just need to kill yourself in front of me. Not to mention Jin Buhui’s name, but I can even place him in the Confucian Temple? As for his body, haven’t you heard? 1,000 people ate it, so you could see how the people hate him.”
Zong Shou was stunned. Then, he laughed instead of feeling angry. The anger in his heart was like a stopper stuck in his heart, making it tough for him to vent anything. He felt disgusted and his blood rolled.
Since that was the case, then there was nothing they could talk about, they could only fight!
His emotions raged and he was unable to keep himself calm. The Heaven Path Sword Intent on the God Refined Sword was also affected and it slowly went berserk.
More and more houses were being crushed. The ground collapsed and was dented several thousand feet down but Zong Shou didn’t care at all.
“I really don’t get how someone like you can be called a Saint Ruler by the people. Is the Great Confucian that the Confucian Faction talks about blind? For Buhui to serve such a dumb ruler like you, it is the sad story of his life.”
Yinyu sat behind the table and smiled. He was really calm, he only listened on like it was a joke and he didn’t bother at all.
No matter what Zong Shou said, his words couldn’t harm him so why would he care?
In his eyes, although Zong Shou wasn’t dead, there was no difference.
His fame and prestige wasn’t something for Zong Shou to evaluate and judge either!
When Great Shang unified the Cloud World and swept the various regions, he would be the mighty lord out of 27 rulers. No matter who it was had to praise him!
A cold scoff spread out from beside, “Preposterous! To insult the emperor in Fenghua Palace, do you think that our Great Shang has no talents? Jin Buhui failed the country and our Confucian Faction discussions aren’t something a ruler of a barbaric land like you can twist.”
Zong Shou looked over coldly and he recognized that it was Zuoxin.
When he left the Cloud World he had met him. Zhongxuan was there too at the time.
That time he didn’t feel good about him, but now he hated him!
Thinking about how Buhui was killed because of him, Zong Shou wanted to slash this person a thousand times.
Along with his voice spreading out, dozens of Saint Realm aura spread over. They were all about to explode and all locked onto Zong Shou.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh. A full 13, adding in the one previously, there were 14. Today, the number of Saint Realm cultivators was even one fewer than during the Qin Emperor Tomb.
His spiritual sense continued to spread and he turned his attention to the twelve Copper Men who stood behind the reading room.
The Country Protecting Seal allowed his spiritual sense to wrap around the Qin Emperor’s true spirit and directly enter the source of the twelve Copper Men.
Different from what he had predicted, Yinyu had spent a lot of effort on the main source of the Copper Men such that his spiritual sense reached deep in using the Qin Emperor’s true spirit as the medium.
He originally needed just 80 breaths to replace and clear the Qin Emperor’s spiritual sense. However, now he needed more time.
He really underestimated the Yuanchen Emperor…
Then, what he needed to do was to delay?
Zong Shou frowned, suppressing the killing intent that was about to jump out.
He continued to step in the air towards the reading room. He scoffed coldly.
“I am sorry! To me, Great Shang really doesn’t have anyone apart from Shiyue and the Shi Family! As for the Confucian Faction, I said that sooner or later I will wipe you all out and bury the cancer! Since your Confucian debate isn’t fair, then what is the point of leaving all of you?”
While speaking, the final palace wall shattered under the sword suppression of Zong Shou.
Zong Shou was unobstructed as he walked towards the room, he was just 10,000 feet away.
The twelve Copper Men who stood appeared in front of his eyes.
A cold scoff spread out through the air.
“Wipe out the Confucian Faction? Am I among the list of people you want to wipe out? You said that Great Shang has no one. Am I something like an ant in front of you?”
When those words were spoken, a white energy surged up in the east.
It caused the thousand two hundred over Heaven Extinction Earth Destroying Sword Light to scatter.
Following which more and more white energy surged into the sky.
They were all of different sizes and came from different areas, university, Hanlin Academy, Censorate…
Thousands of them, giving off a thick aura.
“The Ruler is a Master! Ministers should listen to the Rulers! What Jin Buhui did was wrong and he deserved it!”
Zhu Zi’s voice reverberated through the sky. It was grand and righteous.
Within the reading room, Zuoxin’s eyes lit up as he smiled towards Yinyu, “It is Zhu Zi! As expected from the Saint of the Confucian Faction. This righteous energy really causes juniors like us to look weak. From ancient times evil will not win, it will be the same today! With Zhu Zi here, we will be able to chase back evil and kill the Demon Lord!”
Zong Shou looked like he was having a tough time. Both formations were shook by Zhu Zi and he was directly hit as he was within the Yin Vein Formation.
The killing formation’s strength became stronger and the god light and death flame struck his heart.
Just at that moment, the dozen Saint Realm Venerables around finally acted.
They were swift as a dozen strong powers suppressed over from all areas.
Such that Zong Shou was nearly in despair. His soul was suppressed by the god light and death flames and the dozen Saint Realm spells locked all the life force he had.
Zong Shou tried to struggle but on his face was a maniacal smile.
“What words! Haven’t you heard that the righteous is one inch and the demon is 10 feet?”
The wings changed its target and the first Life and Death Cereus bloomed.
Huge Life Essence Power exploded out such that the death energy that was unable to be converted temporarily became neutral. He also chased out the Spirit Slaughtering God Light from his Soul Ocean.
Next, he was using the Styx River Death Sword as his body moved through the air like he was an apparition.
