"This person's strength is truly unfathomable!"
Ba Shiba looked solemn and sighed softly.
He had fought against Ximen Yu.
Knowing full well that his strength was extraordinary,
Yet Dugu Qiubai was able to withstand one of his attacks without sustaining any damage.
This truly alarmed him.
Anyone who can withstand one of Ximen Yu's moves,
"I'm more interested in that second-in-command."
"Judging from this, he may have already entered the Supreme Mythical Realm!"
"Even in our Great Yuan Dynasty, I fear only those two can slightly surpass us."
Si Hanfei was shaken.
He accidentally tore off several hairs from his beard without even realizing it.
Temujin nodded slightly.
He gazed at the vast territory of the Qin Dynasty and sighed softly.
"I hope the Emperor Qin can weigh the options carefully and not disappoint me."
.........
The Great Tang Dynasty, Fengxuan Pavilion.
"Peak of the Celestial Realm?"
"It seems the Azure Dragon Society is nothing special after all."
Wu Zetian gave a disdainful snort.
Despite being deeply shocked,
But he still refused to show weakness in his words.
No one present dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
Even Shangguan Wan'er, who had always been deeply favored,
At this moment, he also lowered his head and dared not say anything more.
Only Yuan Tiangang,
Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said:
"As long as that person exists, the Azure Dragon Society will forever be awe-inspiring!"
Even the strongest person has their limits.
Even Dugu Qiubai, who was just announced on the Heavenly Dao Golden List,
He remained convinced that
The various dynasties had deep foundations, so dealing with them was not difficult.
Only Ximen Yu,
His cultivation level was unfathomable, like a bottomless abyss!
Whenever the world thought he had reached his limit,
The next list, once again, will defy expectations.
No one knows the true extent of his strength!
Wu Zetian gave a light snort, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
..........
"National Master, what do you think?"
A flicker of horror crossed Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
His expression remained calm as he turned his head to look to the side.
"Powerful! Extremely powerful! Terrifyingly powerful!"
Liu Bowen answered without hesitation in a deep voice.
His expression was extremely solemn.
Although he was also at the peak of the Celestial Realm...
Their own combat strength is only average.
Top swordsmen are often able to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Especially someone like Dugu Qiubai,
It is no exaggeration to say that someone at the peak of the Celestial Realm could defy an unparalleled myth!
How could this not make him tense?
"And these are only the three leaders of the Azure Dragon Society."
"The number one person in the Nine Provinces, Ximen Yu, has not yet been mentioned, nor has the Second Dragon Head, who has not yet appeared."
"Even the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh dragon leaders who follow him are no ordinary people!"
"More importantly,"
"Since the upheavals at Shaolin and the Tang Dynasty, the Azure Dragon Society has revealed an increasingly unfathomable depth of power."
"How many powerful individuals they still possess remains unknown."
Zhu Houzhao gave a bitter smile and sighed.
The conversation suddenly shifted.
"Have you ever imagined such a behemoth?"
"If it is detrimental to our Great Ming, can the Great Ming have any chance of victory?"
The hall fell silent instantly.
Liu Bowen's eyes sharpened, and his expression became solemn.
Although he had only recently met the new emperor, he knew very well that His Majesty was not one to speak recklessly!
After a moment's hesitation, Liu Bowen solemnly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:
As the founding emperor once said—
"Life and death, survival or death, can only be determined by the blade!"
"If that day truly comes, this old minister will surely devote all his loyalty and wisdom!"
His voice was firm and resolute.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, revealing a determination to live and die with the nation.
"How could I not know of the Imperial Preceptor's loyalty?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily, quite satisfied with his answer.
Only such sincere people can devote themselves to serving their country!
As for whether the words were true or false, he did not investigate further.
As the laughter subsided, Zhu Houzhao's expression turned serious, and he asked again:
"The Grand Preceptor has a clear understanding of the Azure Dragon Society's power."
"Are we confident we can seize the Fountain of Youth and the scriptures on this mission?"
Liu Bowen remained silent.
After a moment, he solemnly replied:
"Your subject dares not presume to say that victory is certain."
"We must give it our all; success or failure... we'll leave it to fate."
He knew perfectly well that he was about to face powerful enemies all around him.
Eight dynasties vied for power, heroes fought fiercely, and a reclusive old monster was also eyeing the throne with covetous intent.
Therefore, I would never dare to make a promise lightly.
"Just do your best."
"If things cannot be accomplished, the Imperial Advisor should prioritize safety!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement, but still gave some instructions out of concern.
I fear he might put himself in danger.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now!"
Liu Bowen felt a warmth in his heart.
Even though he was as insightful as a mirror and had long understood the art of rulership,
I am still moved at this moment.
He then bowed respectfully, turned and left.
He turned and left without looking back.
095-Lu Bu: Does the Great Dragon Head have any offspring? (Custom version)
While the entire land of Kyushu was still buzzing with discussions about Dugu Qiubai, a piece of news quietly spread – the Sword God and the Sword Saint would have their duel at the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty on the fifteenth of this month.
This news spread like wildfire, instantly sweeping across the land.
Although Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue have not reached the level of terrestrial immortals, among the younger generation of swordsmen, they can be considered the top three in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Looking across the entire country, the two are also outstanding figures of the younger generation.
Some even asserted that if these two had not died young, becoming terrestrial immortals would have been merely the beginning of their martial arts journey.
It's easy to imagine how much attention this battle will attract.
Even though many martial artists have already gone to Dali, countless others are still very interested in this battle.
Soon, countless wandering martial artists, independent cultivators, and swordsmen set off, heading straight for the Ming Dynasty.
During this time, some senior experts also came after hearing the news.
In short, the decisive battle has not yet begun, but the winds of change are already blowing.
On the fifteenth, the Forbidden City will be even more spectacular!
Chapter 51 Action
After hearing Wei Jinzhong's report, Zhu Houzhao's face darkened, and anger surged in his eyes.
He never expected that two mere swordsmen who had not yet reached the level of terrestrial immortals would dare to so blatantly defy imperial authority!
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty has no one capable of handling this?
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, his killing intent barely concealed.
"There is no need to stop those who want to watch the battle."
"I want to see if they really have the guts to trample on imperial power!"
"If they dare to be presumptuous, then these Sword Gods and Sword Saints need not exist in this world!"
His voice was cold, and the temperature inside the hall plummeted.
Wei Jinzhong bowed, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.
The residence of the Prince of the South.
Upon receiving the message, the Crown Prince of the South's eyes blazed with intense light.
"The Great Dragon Head is finally making his move?" He laughed loudly. "I've waited far too long for this day!"
