Zong Tianwu glanced at the Thirteen Assassins of the Sky Mansion from the corner of his eye. His gaze did not change, but his heart sank.

These guys were all Heaven Arrival realm experts!

Thirteen Heaven Arrivals realm experts and Venerable Yan She. The situation was very troublesome!

Zong Tianwu was naturally confident in facing them, but he had King Qin by his side. It was not easy to protect King Qin under the siege of so many experts.

King Qin, Jiang Yu, had the strength of a Spiritual Sense realm expert. On the battlefield, he could be considered a fearless general. However, he would only be considered a burden to Zong Tianwu at this moment. Moreover, the enemy was clearly coming for him.

“King Qin, His Majesty is waiting for you in the city. Why don’t you return to the city first?”

Gui Liu drew his sword and said sinisterly.

King Qin, Jiang Yu, originally thought that the other party was coming for him, but he did not expect their target to be Zong Tianwu. Zong Tianwu was also surprised.

Venerable Yan She continued forward and said with a smile, “The supreme of

Great Jing’s martial arts world, don’t disappoint me!”

He suddenly rushed towards Zong Tianwu. His figure was like a ghost as he instantly arrived in front of Zong Tianwu’s horse. He struck out with his palm, and surging black gas surged out of his sleeve and wrapped around the horse’s body. Zong Tianwu leaped up and stretched out his hand in the air. With a flick of his finger, he shot out a stream of true qi. Like an arrow, it pierced through the black gas, intending to pierce through Venerable Yan She’s head, but he easily dodged it.

The horse neighed in pain. It began to go crazy and run around, but it could not dispel the black aura on its body. Before it could run into the forest, it fell to the ground and its flesh melted, revealing a skeleton. Black blood seeped into the soil, looking extremely terrifying.

The Thirteen Assassins of the Sky Mansion attacked almost at the same time. They brandished their blades and surrounded Zong Tianwu. Zong Tianwu’s skills were extraordinary, so even if he was surrounded, he could easily deal with incoming attacks.

Zong Tianwu dodged the intersecting attacks of the four long swords. His body

hung in midair as he slapped down.

Boom!

The terrifying palm force caused the four assassins to vomit blood and fly away. The ground below collapsed, forming a huge palm-shaped pit that was dozens of feet long and four feet deep. A strong wind swept in all directions, startling King Qin’s horse so much that it raised its front hooves and neighed.

Venerable Yan She pulled out a soft sword from his waist and slashed at Zong Tianwu, who was in midair. Black Sword Qi surged out violently and cut off the flowers, grass, and trees within a radius of dozens of feet. Grass flew and dust flew.

Zong Tianwu quickly landed on the ground. He took the opportunity to punch the ground, causing the ground to collapse, startling Venerable Yan She and the 13 assassins to jump in order to avoid being scattered by the true qi underground.

Streaks of black Sword Qi landed on Zong Tianwu’s body. Fortunately, they were isolated by his true qi and did not hurt him at all.

He raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes filled with killing intent. With a kick of his left leg, his figure turned into an arrow and rushed towards Venerable Yan She at an extremely fast speed.

Gui Liu and the seven other assassins brandished their swords at the same time. Sword Qi resonated and the eight swords collided, slashing at Zong Tianwu together. The sword qi turned into energy and was unstoppable.

Ping—

The sound of glass shattering sounded. The Sword Qi was shattered by Zong Tianwu, and the eight of them were sent flying. Zong Tianwu raised his right hand and formed an eagle claw that went straight for Venerable Yan She.

It was too fast!

The other assassins had no time to stop him. Venerable Yan She raised his sword and pressed his left hand against the blade. The blade became straight and powerful true qi poured into it.

Boom!

The two of them collided, and two terrifying true qi erupted like raging flames. One was black and the other was white as they wrestled with each other.

Zong Tianwu stared fixedly at Venerable Yan She, and Venerable Yan She did the same. However, Venerable Yan She revealed a strange expression.

“I didn’t expect there to be someone like you in the martial arts world of Great Jing. The Dragon Tower still underestimates the thirteen prefectures!”

Venerable Yan Snake snorted and circulated his true qi with all his might. With the two of them as the center, the ground began to collapse and extend in all directions like a spider web. A violent wind swept up broken branches, flowers, and dust.

Almost at the same time, the two of them stopped and rushed towards each other again. In close combat, their figures intertwined as they struck each other with their palms and swords. The rumbling of true qi was even more deafening, and it was already extraordinary.

The Thirteen Assassins of the Sky Mansion did not just sit there and watch the show. They quickly joined the dust and surrounded Zong Tianwu.

Even though he was besieged by 13 Heaven Arrival realm experts and an expert who surpassed the Heaven Arrival realm, Zong Tianwu still displayed a powerful aura. He was worthy of his reputation as a supreme expert in the martial arts world.

King Qin, Jiang Yu, kept retreating. He covered his face with his right arm and gritted his teeth.

He could not interfere in a battle of this level.

It was the same on the battlefield previously. When Zong Tianwu fought the three grandmasters, an empty space was cleared on the battlefield for them to fight. Only when their true qi was exhausted did the soldiers dare to pounce on him.

“Fourth Brother, aren’t you going to help him?”

A teasing laugh came from behind. King Qin turned around and saw Emperor Jiang Yu rushing out of the forest with his hands behind his waist. The latter’s true qi transformed into a dragon, and his dragon robe fluttered, displaying the domineering aura of an emperor.

King Qin drew his saber and glared at Emperor Jiang Yu. “Jiang Yu, why do you have to implicate others in our fight?”

Emperor Jiang Yu landed on the ground and his true qi dissipated. He rolled up his sleeves and shook his head. “Fight? I’ve already ascended the throne. What right do you have to fight with me?”

King Qin said coldly, “Then do you want to kill me here?”

Emperor Jiang Yu replied disdainfully, “After all, you still my brother. How can I let you die in the wilderness? When Zong Tianwu dies, I will bring you back to the capital and charge you with treason. What do you think?”

King Qin frowned.

He suddenly raised his saber and charged at Emperor Jiang Yu. He used the Nine-seeking Heavenly Dragon Steps and circled to Emperor Jiang Yu’s right. He swung his saber, wanting to cut off his head.

However, Emperor Jiang Yu looked straight ahead and hit his abdomen with his right palm at an even faster speed.

Bang!

“Pfft

King Qin was sent flying. Blood spurted out of his mouth and sprayed into the sky. He flew for a full 100 feet before colliding with an old tree that was wide enough for five people to wrap their arms around it, causing the tree to tremble.

He landed on the ground and planted the tip of the knife on the grass to support his body.

He only felt that his internal organs had shifted, and it was extremely uncomfortable. He looked up and saw Emperor Jiang Yu walking towards Zong Tianwu. The strong wind caused by his true qi swayed his dragon robe. This emperor actually displayed an aura that surpassed the Heaven Arrival realm.

This was a Grandmaster?

King Qin widened his eyes in disbelief.

He had seen the Grandmasters of the Ancient Han on the battlefield before. Their auras were enough to instill fear in others, and it was the same for Emperor Jiang Yu now.

He knew that Emperor Jiang Yu was a martial arts genius, but he had been staying in the capital all these years. How could his cultivation be so high?

King Qin endured the pain and stood up. He raised his saber shakily and walked towards Emperor Jiang Yu. Emperor Jiang Yu had already activated the True Dragon Qi, and three dragon-shaped true qi wrapped around his body, preventing the sand from approaching him.

Bang! Bang!

Two figures were sent flying by Zong Tianwu and flew towards Emperor Jiang

Yu.

Emperor Jiang Yu did not blankly receive that attack. With a sway of his body, he turned into dozens of afterimages and directly charged in front of Zong

Tianwu.

Roar—

A dragon roar exploded as Emperor Jiang Yu’s palm collided with Zong

Tianwu’s right palm. The three dragon-shaped true qi wanted to bite Zong Tianwu, but they were isolated by the latter’s true qi barrier and could not be shattered.

In an instant, Venerable Yan She stabbed forward. Zong Tianwu raised his left palm and true qi burst out from his palm, blocking Venerable Yan She.

Zong Tianwu fought against two alone, and his aura rose steadily. His face was filled with arrogance as he said, “You want to take me down with just two Grandmasters? Emperor, you only stepped into the door of martial arts when I became the supreme of the martial arts world!”

Boom!

His true qi rose from the ground like a tornado, sending sand and rocks flying. The ground trembled, shocking Emperor Jiang Yu and Venerable Yan She.

“There are more than two Grandmasters!”

Gui Lius cold voice sounded. He jumped behind Zong Tianwu and wanted to swing his sword to behead him.

Zong Tianwu suddenly squatted down, and a powerful force dragged Venerable Yan She and Emperor Jiang Yu to lose their balance. Zong Tianwu turned around at a speed incomprehensible by a Heaven Arrival realm expert and kicked Gui Liu in the chest. The sound of bones breaking was crisp and ear-piercing, and Gui Liu was sent flying.

He flew into the forest like an arrow and knocked down trees. In the end, he was pierced through the chest by a sharp broken branch and hung on a tree trunk. His eyes were wide open and he died with grievances. Blood flowed down the tree trunk.

A Heaven Arrival realm expert was dead!

Immediately after, Zong Tianwu kicked Venerable Yan She away and attacked Emperor Jiang Yu with his left palm.

Emperor Jiang Yu used his arms to block in front of him and protected himself with the True Dragon Qi, but he was still sent flying. After landing on the ground, he took eight steps back.

He felt his arms go numb, and he looked up at Zong Tianwu in disbelief.

How could this person be so powerful?

Zong Tianwu stood proudly in the strong wind. He snorted and said, “Although we are both in the same realm, I have practiced martial arts for 60 years. How can you defeat me when I have 60 more years of cultivation?”

Venerable Yan She straightened his back and said with a faint smile, “Although the Great Jing is weak, the martial arts supreme that appeared is indeed powerful. However… Zong Tianwu, do you really think you’re invincible?”

Zong Tianwu frowned and his expression suddenly changed. He raised his left palm and realized that it was black. He hurriedly used his right hand to tap the acupuncture points on his left arm, wanting to stop the poison from seeping in, but the speed of the poison was extremely fast.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed his left shoulder with his right hand. He actually tore off his left arm and blood splattered on the ground.

Everyone’s eyelids twitched when they saw this scene. Even Venerable Yan She was shocked.

The unimaginable pain did not affect Zong Tianwu. His expression turned abnormally cold as he turned to look at Emperor Jiang Yu and said, “Today, I will use my martial arts to kill an emperor and suppress the world!”

He suddenly threw out his broken arm. The broken arm was extremely fast as it went straight for Emperor Jiang Yu. Emperor Jiang Yu pushed out his palms at the same time, and the True Dragon Qi collided with the broken arm with an overwhelming force. However, he could not repel the broken arm. The palm of the broken arm suddenly straightened and pierced through the True Dragon Qi like a knife as he went for Emperor Jiang Yu.

Emperor Jiang Yu’s expression changed drastically and he thought to himself, ‘Oh no!’

Boom!

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and stepped on Zong Tianwu’s broken arm. The ground collapsed and dust flew. When the dust dissipated, the figure of the person appeared.

It was an old man in white. There was a scar across half of his face, making him look extremely ferocious.

Zong Tianwu’s left shoulder was still dripping blood. He frowned and stared at the white-robed old man. He said coldly, “I didn’t expect the leader of the five Grandmasters, Daoist Tian Gang, to also become the Emperor’s lackey.” “In order to capture me, Emperor, you really did your best.”

Zong Tianwu mocked. The remaining twelve assassins of the Thirteen Assassins of the Sky Mansion landed on the ground and approached him from different directions. Venerable Yan Snake spread his arms and poisonous gas surrounded his body as he pressed forward step by step.

Emperor Jiang Yu smiled disdainfully and said, “Zong Tianwu, aren’t you overestimating yourself if you want to suppress the world with just your martial arts?”

Daoist Tian Gang was expressionless as he said, “Zong Tianwu, restoring Chu is the will of the heavens. It has to be done. The Emperor can’t die. Let’s end it here, and I will leave your corpse intact.”

Zong Tianwu said calmly, “Let King Qin go. I’m willing to die.”

Emperor Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled. “Do you think you still have the right to negotiate to me? Today, you have to die, and so does King Qin.”

Behind him, King Qin walked over shakily. He held a saber in his right hand and his face was covered in blood, but his eyes were filled with madness. He shouted, “Zong Tianwu, I’ll give you one last order. That is to kill. Before you die, do your best to drag a few people to hell with you!”

In a situation of certain death, King Qin had already put down his extravagant hopes.

It was good to die in battle!

“Big Brother, Father, Mother… I’m coming…”

King Qin’s eyes became extremely firm.

When Zong Tianwu heard that, he smiled and laughed wantonly. “Zong Tianwu accepts the order. Your Highness, it’s not a humiliation for martial arts practitioners to die in battle. Zong Tianwu will go first!”

With that, he walked towards Daoist Tian Gang without hesitation.

Daoist Tian Gang sighed and raised his right palm to his chest. True qi flowed out of his palm, and a golden light appeared along his palm. His eyes turned golden at the same time, and his aura changed. In an instant, a violent wind suddenly rose, and thunderclouds appeared out of thin air in the sky.

The world changed color!

At this moment, a sword light pierced through the thunderclouds and landed in front of Daoist Tian Gang. The blade pierced into the soil, and the thunderclouds in the sky dissipated.

Daoist Tian Gang frowned and looked over.. He muttered, “This is… the Taihang Sword?”
