Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 55

Chapter 55: 52. Divine Martial (1) Translator: 549690339 “Ten … Nine … Eight . In the middle of the night, there was a dim light on the street, and snow was falling. The young prince carried the halberd and walked on the empty path. A lonely shadow was illuminated by the lantern and cast on the snow that was getting deeper and shallower. He counted down in boredom and quickly walked towards the city gate. At this moment, in a large mansion. Grand Secretary He Wenfeng’s eyes were rolling. Every time there was a big battle, his body would not move, but his eyes would roll around. “Diverting the east and attacking the west, and working together with the South City Guard, then using the twenty-ninth on the Heaven Ranking, Huang Jing, as a sharp knife to knock on the door, we should be able to succeed, right?” ” That’s right. With Hero Huang’s movement technique and strength, no one in this city can stop him except for the Seventh Prince. ” “I hope so.” The officials and nobles were all nervous. Tonight was a crucial battle. Once the city gates were opened, the 50,000 strong army would be able to enter the city. If they couldn’t, they might be discovered. They had specially arranged for the rioters and even some trusted men of sacrifice to charge at the east gate in order to attract the other party’s attention and let Huang Jing finish his work in one go. Then … Had Huang Jing succeeded? The dignitaries clenched their fists, paced back and forth, panted heavily, or looked out of the door from time to time. Outside the door, the cold wind and snow hit the door. It was almost the new year, and after the new year was spring. Before the spring flowers bloomed, this was destined to be the coldest moment. Huang Jing was ranked 29th on the Heaven Roll. He was an abandoned disciple of a certain Daoist Sect and had sold his body to a powerful family. In such cold weather, his strength was actually the most suitable to display because the cultivation technique he cultivated was the famous Nine Yin Heart Sutra. Nine Yin cultivated the eight meridians of the human body and one aperture of the heavenly spirit. It was said that when one cultivated to the highest level, it would be arranged according to the Nine Palaces, transforming Nine Yin into Origin, taking the way of heaven and earth, and achieving infinite things with limited things. Therefore, those who cultivated Nine Yin Heart Sutra had two characteristics: First, the true qi was cold and could be released from the body. Secondly, his zhenqi recovery speed was faster than other mental cultivation methods. Of course, Huang Jing hadn’t reached the stage of ” Nine Yin Returning to Origin “. Otherwise, he would have a Dharma Form and stepped out of the Heaven Roll to prove his legendary name. Even so, he had already cultivated to the eighth level. The eighth level of zhenqi and martial arts techniques had allowed him to achieve the 29th place on the Heaven List. Now, the 29th on the Heaven Ranking walked down from the city wall in black. He glanced sideways at the four headless soldiers and then at the four palace maids who welcomed him. Finally, his gaze landed on the city gate. In front of the door, the princess rested her chin on her hands and crossed her legs, looking at him in the darkness. Huang Jing also looked at the princess, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up. I didn’t expect the Ninth Princess, who lives in the palace, to have such insight and courage. I’m really surprised. ‘ Xia Xiaosu could sense how powerful the person was and said, “I’ll give you a chance to surrender.” Huang Jing burst into laughter. He suddenly stopped and stood with his hands behind his back. His figure flickered in the darkness. His body kept “flashing” in the faint light, flashing overlapping afterimages. Each of these afterimages could be real or fake, and he could split into seven in an instant. This was the martial technique of the Nine Spiraling Shadows. Therefore, although he was standing still, he was already in a state of extreme movement. The Nine Yin and Nine Yang Heavenly Scroll was all true qi, and the Earth Scroll was a supporting technique. Not only did he practice true qi, but he also learned several strange moves of the Earth Scroll. The Sky Piercing Claw from before and the Nine Spiraling Shadows were both among them. “If your brother was here, I would have turned around and run. But with you here and the few little monsters around you, do you really think I can be persuaded with just a few words?” “Oh? Then what do you want?” “The general trend has already been set. If this Huang wants it, I will be blocking the general trend and will definitely be crushed into pieces. Therefore…Princess, please move aside.” “Everything depends on one��s actions. What is the general trend? Since when is it a person from the martial arts world to give me pointers?” Xia Xiaosu’s eyes narrowed slightly. This situation made her very uncomfortable. She and her brother just wanted to live well, so what? If one day she controlled a great power, she would definitely brag about her brother every day. She looked at Quan Dao. He only knew how to create momentum, but he didn’t know the general trend. However, Huang Jing did not say anything. His afterimage had already erupted with extreme movement. In an instant, he turned into seven afterimages that could not be identified and pounced towards the four palace maids. Before the afterimage arrived, the wind and snow had already turned one-sided. The airflow danced wildly, turning into a cold wind that swept across the area. As the black-robed man attacked, it slapped towards the opposite side. The chilly wind was so cold that it seemed like it could even blow away one’s soul. Although the four fox demons were proficient in transformation techniques, possession techniques, and charm techniques, their cultivation techniques were ultimately lacking due to the limitations of their race. The power was lacking, but the speed was extremely fast. With four sounds of drawing the saber, four cold lights flashed past and slashed at the seven indistinguishable afterimages. Since there was only one true body among the many afterimages, then the rest would naturally be broken with a slash, so he could just slash directly. The air current of the blade was extremely fast. It cut through the air and made a tearing sound. Each of the seven afterimages suddenly made a move at the same time. Their hands formed claws and grabbed at the blades. Pa! Pa, pa, pa! Four consecutive sounds. Four pairs of black hands had already grabbed four knives. Crack. The saber was actually shattered. Every afterimage was real? At the same time, the other three shadows did not stay idle. They attacked the palace maids during this pause. Bang! Apart from one of the palace maids, the other three cried out in surprise and flew into the air. There was a claw mark on their chests, half a finger deep. Their flesh had been frozen by the true energy, revealing a pale rotting flesh. This was the same wound as some of the people in the Bi Daren’s house. In one exchange, the saber shattered and three of them were seriously injured. The remaining fox demon palace maid who was not injured quickly stepped back and placed her broken saber in front of Xia Xiaosu to protect her. The other two fox demons also hurriedly drew their sabers. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The seven afterimages merged into one again. This was the Nine Spiral Shadows recorded in the Nine Yin Earth Scroll. When cultivated to the extreme, one could produce nine shadows. There were many ghost shadows, and it was difficult to distinguish between real and fake. It was impossible to guard against them. Huang Jing was ranked 29th on the Heaven Roll, so it was normal for him to have such strength. At this moment, he took a step forward. His afterimage was still in place, but he was already a few meters closer to Xia Xiaosu. The faint voice seemed to be mixed with the wind and snow, filling the sky. His body was like his body, constantly “flashing”. Every step he took, there were seven shadows. The three fox demons protected Xia Xiaosu. ” You dare to hurt me?! ” the princess suddenly shouted. Huang Jing smiled. ” I don’t dare to hurt the princess, but I still dare to open the city gate after killing a few little demons. Is there anyone here who can stop me? ” As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Because he sensed someone walking toward him from the street behind him. As an expert on the Heaven List, he was extremely sensitive to experts. At this moment, he was so shocked that he didn’t dare to move. He only felt that the person behind him was extremely terrifying. The vigorous true energy was being released without restraint. He didn’t turn his head, but he felt that the frozen and snowy Midnight Imperial City welcomed a blazing sun that roamed the mortal world. The scorching sun was right behind him, and the Yin Qi around him seemed to be about to be baked to the point of dissipating. At this moment, Huang Jing already knew who the person was. He had lost the courage to move forward. No, he didn’t even have the courage to take one move. Perhaps the person who had just arrived didn’t know it himself, but in this world, the people of Jianghu had already given this new legend a name. Number: – -Prince Shenwu. Like a god, the most powerful, the royal family, Unfortunately, he was a deviant person. At this moment, Huang Jing’s back was facing the new legend. This legend should not have appeared here. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he settled on one word. Flee! Run! As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took action. Seven afterimages instantly exploded. One went east, one went west, one went south, one went north, and the remaining three went southeast, northeast, and southwest respectively. It was as if ghosts scattered in all directions, extremely fast. However, why did Xia Ji need to distinguish? So what if his true qi and figure were real? So what if the illusion was ten times or a hundred times more realistic? Dipamkara Zen, the first meeting of Longhua, all light is like a lamp, the lamp is the law, where the lamp is, it breaks all illusions, all illusions, wherever the light reaches, it burns all delusions. Therefore, he could draw the monk’s heart and destroy his Zen with just a few strokes by using tea as ink and a coffee table as cloth. Therefore, Dhyana Dipankara had already revealed the truth of the seven afterimages. Xia Ji raised his hand and threw it away. A scream came from the darkness, and all the afterimages disappeared. The black halberd, which was only 1.8 feet long, nailed a body of flesh and blood to death. It continued to fly higher. It was as if a demonic dragon had rushed into the sky and bitten its prey. Pa da. The black halberd stabbed the corpse into the ground. Huang Jing died. Xia Ji walked up to the Ninth Princess and asked gently, “”Are you alright?” Xia Xiaosu turned her head away from him. It was as if all the planning and manipulation of the people’s hearts were child’s tricks. In front of her brother, she became a child who broke her promise again. If her brother hadn’t come, the city gates would have opened and she would have failed. Xia Ji chuckled and rubbed her hair. “”Well done. Leave the rest to me..”
