Chapter 298 297. Defeat the commander, break the palace gate, four groups of people (Please subscribe!)
The pitch-black palm pushed across the palace path.

A deep and dangerous aura filled the entire palace path, making people shudder as if they were surrounded by ferocious beasts.

Even the eunuch in charge of the seal and the Southern Dipper Star God who were fighting each other sensed this aura and cast their eyes over here.

Pang Yufei, who faced this palm strike head-on, had a solemn expression on his face, his fist was filled with surging power, and his spirit was high and mighty.

Since his appearance, he now truly regards the inspector of the Arctic Exorcism House as an opponent of the same level.

In the past, if someone said that a third-level Taoist practitioner could rival a third-grade warrior, he would definitely sneer at it.

But now, he finally understood what a true genius was, a true peerless prodigy!
In front of a truly extraordinary genius, the gap between two realms is not as insurmountable as a chasm.

Pang Yufei took up a boxing stance and began to stimulate the qi and blood in his body almost violently. The blood surged along his meridians, and qi and blood gushed out from the pores all over his body, turning into smoke rising into the sky.

next moment.

He took a deep breath.

The vast flowing qi and blood converge into a line.

The sound of the sword rang out.

Pang Yufei took a big step forward, gathered all his energy, and threw an ordinary straight punch forward.

This punch looks ordinary.

However, the moment this punch was thrown.

A silent void occupied the minds of everyone present; the thunder in the sky and the explosion sounds from the dark palms were all suppressed by the surging fist intent.

The demon-hunting envoys and the armored soldiers of the imperial guards are elite troops who have emerged from brutal battles.

But under this punch,

They felt as if they were back to the time when they had just started their spiritual practice. They had no strength at all, and facing the punches from their master, it was as if the sky was falling.

This fist,

As heavy as a mountain!

Unstoppable!

Beyond the silence of the mind,
The terrifying force of the fist rolled and crushed, and the floor tiles of the entire palace corridor finally cracked after several fights between Pang and Xu, and the crackling sound spread all the way.

Xu Qing's eyes remained unmoved as he focused on pushing his palm forward.

The moment the fists and palms touched, there was no expected grand scene and aftermath. The fist and palm seemed to be stuck together, without any ripples of energy.

Then, a shrill cry was heard.

Xu Qing and Pang Yufei's expressions changed.

In the middle of the fist, the great formation that usually covered the imperial palace from damage was collapsing bit by bit, and the chaotic space flowed in all directions, swallowing up everything.

But this is not the real reason why the two of them changed their color.

Xu Qing was shocked by the enormous power contained in Pang Yufei's punch, as well as the fist intent that seemed to suppress everything.

Pang Yufei was unable to withstand the destructive power of the dark aura, and even his condensed fist intention was unable to withstand this force that seemed to destroy everything.

Xu Qing and Pang Yufei looked at each other.

Can't retreat!

If you retreat, you will lose!

Neither of them was willing to back down.

Xu Qing's eyes darkened. If you don't want to retreat, I will beat you until you retreat!

The evil spirits of war are condensed from the evil spirits of ten ferocious beasts that symbolize war disasters. Every wisp of the evil spirits of ten ferocious beasts is enough to allow a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm to enter the Yuan Qi.

What’s more, it’s where the ten evil spirits gather!
A dragon roar suddenly came from Xu Qing's body, and the dark palm that was originally in a stalemate with Pang Yufei began to boil.

The black clouds interweave with each other, outlining the illusion of ten ferocious beasts: Chilang, Cangbi, Yiji, Buhuagu, Renmianshu, and Feitian Yaksha.
Ten ferocious beasts of various shapes bared their teeth and roared fiercely at Pang Yufei.

boom--!
Pang Yufei's face changed drastically.

He actually felt that his fist was crushed with ease, and the clothes on his swung arm were torn into pieces.

Bloodstains appeared.

Like cracked ceramic.

Pang Yufei was shocked.

How can it be?

After a brief moment of disbelief and shame, a surge of anger exploded in my chest like a volcano.

He is one of the twelve commanders of the Royal Guard.

If a cultivator with great supernatural powers does not come out, he will be the strongest cultivator walking the world!
How is it possible to lose to a Taoist cultivator of the third realm like this?

Pang Yufei's face turned red, and his muscles twisted and twitched like a python.

The blood in the body seemed to be boiling and evaporating at this moment. The sharp aura in the body had clearly reached its peak just now, and now it was showing a tendency to go even further!

No matter who you are, no one can stand before my fist!

With this idea in mind, Pang Yufei, driven by shame and anger, burst out with far greater strength than before.

Under tremendous pressure, Xu Qing looked solemn.

He was not willing to be outdone, and the chaotic hole in his body evolved from the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman" trembled violently, and Yuanqi was continuously spit out and then merged into the dark palm.

The two men wrestled like bulls butting their horns.

Never give in, never retreat.

The opposing momentum even annihilated the flow of space that was spreading out.

Almost when Xu Qing and Pang Yufei were about to fight it out regardless of the consequences, an invisible aura followed some mysterious trajectory and penetrated into Pang Yufei's brows.

"Soul attack?"

Pang Yufei's eyebrows were twitching violently.

The warrior's body is indestructible, and his soul is equally unbreakable, but the strange thing just now made him realize that there is someone lurking in the dark who is good at attacking the soul.

He was prepared for this.

But at this moment, when the guy in the dark really made a move, he found that he had overestimated himself!

Pang Yufei's eyes were dazed for a moment.

When the two sides are in a stalemate, this moment of trance is enough to decide the outcome of a battle, and the life and death of both sides!

The moment Pang Yufei showed signs of being abnormal, Xu Qing immediately sensed it.

The mighty fist force and fist intention suddenly became as empty as a tree without roots!

Xu Qing did not delve into the reasons for Pang Yufei's misfortune, but seized the opportunity to push his Heaven-Controlling Palm and Earth-Controlling Hand forward.

"boom!"

Pang Yufei came back to his senses in severe pain.

He tried to save.

But it was too late.

Pang Yufei could feel his indestructible body disintegrating bit by bit, blood spurting out, and his body becoming emaciated!

With a bang, the palm carried Pang Yufei and hit the third palace gate. Accompanied by the splash of earth, rocks and wood chips, the deep and profound palace city behind the gate suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

Xu Qing felt Pang Yufei's energy gradually weakening and he breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze then turned to the surrounding imperial guards and demon hunters who were affected by the aftermath of the battle.

"Your leader has been defeated." As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the armored soldier of the Imperial Guard under the dark beast-shaped helmet instantly fell silent.

An idea suddenly crossed their minds:

Even the commander has been defeated, is there any need for them to fight to the end?

This thought flashed through the minds of these guards for only a moment, and then was quickly dispelled by them.

They are the imperial guards who guard the imperial city and are the emperor's personal soldiers. How could they surrender just because their leader was defeated? !

"kill!"

Those guards who were still able to move shouted and charged towards Xu Qing with their swords raised.

Li Ping'an, Bai Lele and other demon hunters saw this and rushed to stop it.

A brutal fight broke out between the two sides again!

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The battle just now had almost drained him dry.

Facing the siege of the Imperial Guards again, the problem can be solved, but it will probably take a lot of effort.

Even if it is finally solved, it will be difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, Li Pingan, Bai Lele and others blocked these guards for him, giving him time to recover.

Xu Qing stood still.

The evil spirit transformed into ten ferocious beasts to guard him.

"Junior brother, well done!" The familiar voice sounded again.

Xu Qing was doing two things at once.

Half of his mind was immersed in the practice of "breathing technique" in order to recover his cultivation as quickly as possible.

The "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hun Dun Chilu" itself has the corresponding blessing in terms of the recovery of Yuan Qi, and the recovery speed is extremely amazing.

This ability seems to have no effect or be weak at ordinary times, but he can cross the border to fight the enemy, and the rapid recovery speed of Qi undoubtedly plays a big role.

The other half of his mind was communicating with his senior sister, who was hiding somewhere unknown and who was communicating with him through some method.

"Did it be Senior Sister who took action at the last moment against the leader named Pang?" Xu Qing asked.

"Yes. I used some tricks to disturb him. Do you think that the victory was unfair?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "How can it be an unfair victory? This is not a competition, so naturally you have to use whatever moves you have."

"Besides, if we really want to say that the victory was unfair, it was that commander Pang who bullied the weak with his power."

"Yes, yes, my junior brother is not that pedantic person." Jingqing's voice came with a smile.

"Junior brother, I am naturally not a pedantic person, but Senior sister, I have a question that I want to ask since a while ago."

"Do you think you can really break in alone, or do you think that even if you break in, you can really prevent the subsequent changes?" Jing Qing roughly guessed Xu Qing's thoughts.

"almost."

"Do you know why the guard had no leader when you broke through the first palace gate?"

Xu Qing seemed to be thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Did anyone else take action?"

"That's right!" Jingqing's voice came, "At the western palace gate, the abbot of the White Dragon Temple is leading a group of monks to attack."

"At the palace gate on the east side, the Taoists from Baiyun Temple also took action."

"Also, at the northern palace gate, the Confucian disciples of the Imperial College and the Yunshan Academy in the Imperial Capital are trying to persuade their emperor, of course, using force."

It turns out they were not the only ones on the trip.

Xu Qing's mind moved: "So most of the commanders went to intercept the troops from the other three groups?"

Among the four groups of people who broke into the four palace gates in the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the palace respectively, the North Pole Exorcism Institute had the weakest force.

After all, Tianpeng and Zhongdou Xingjun were not there, and the one who led the demon-hunting envoys of the Beiji Exorcism Institute was just a "three-realm" inspector.

In the eyes of outsiders, no matter how talented he is, it is unimaginable that his strength can be comparable to that of the fourth level.

Going any higher is almost impossible.

As for the other three groups, Xu Qing guessed that they must have powerful cultivators from the fifth or even sixth realm taking action.

In this way, it is clear who poses a greater threat.

Perhaps it was completely beyond their expectations that they could break through the second palace gate, so they sent a commander at the end.

"That's right. The abbot of the White Dragon Temple is at the sixth level of cultivation. Although he has only just entered the sixth level, he is still at the sixth level."

"The imperial palace's priests stopped the White Dragon Temple's abbot, but the other high monks in the White Dragon Temple can only be taken care of by the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"The situation at Baiyun Temple is similar. A supreme elder came out of retreat and led his disciples into the imperial city, trying to change the situation."

"It has to be said that when the people of the Inner Alchemy Sect get ruthless, they are truly terrifying."

Xu Qing didn't know how to respond to this.

Fortunately, Jingqing didn't want Xu Qing to agree with her ideas.

"The Imperial College and Yunshan Academy are more troublesome. Strictly speaking, I am a little undecided."

"The Imperial College and Yunshan Academy are mostly populated by students from poor families. These people have a strong sense of loyalty to the emperor, so they are hesitant to act."

"It's a pity that the current noble families are all weak-willed. None of them dare to take the opportunity to become a follower of a powerful leader and gain enormous wealth overnight."

"Everyone is watching and waiting, not daring to take sides rashly and intervene in this matter."

Xu Qing didn't know what to make of it.

The Taoists in Baiyun Temple wanted to change the world, and they felt that they were extremely ruthless and terrifying. But when it came to the aristocratic families, they were just watching and said that they were spineless.

The double standards are obvious.

But it’s true, aristocratic families have always been the driving force behind chaos.

Now that the stage has been set up, it inevitably feels weird that the most important character doesn’t appear on stage.

"Sister, why do all the civil and military officials in the court ignore Emperor Ming's behavior?"

"Da Sheng integrated the national destiny into the imperial court system. The entire imperial court was affected by the national destiny. How could they allow Emperor Ming to do such a mess?"

"Once the country's fortunes collapse, it will be a disaster for all. Why, even at this point, no civil official or military officer has come out to speak out and advise?"

Jing Qing sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "If I tell you that the Tai Chi formation that now covers the entire Imperial Capital City has a Confucian atmosphere, what do you think?"

"There is a Confucian atmosphere. Could it be that what Emperor Ming did today was coordinated by all the officials in the court?" Xu Qing was shocked.

If this is true, then it is not just Emperor Ming's willful behavior, but the will of the entire Dasheng!
It has always been only a very small number of people who influence the direction of such a huge empire.

If all the officials in the court and the emperor have a unified idea, then their idea will be the will of the entire Dasheng.

"It's not that all officials agreed, but some officials did stand on the side of Emperor Ming and held some kind of Confucian sacrifice for him."

Confucian ritual?

Confucian sacrifices are not usually held.

But once the ceremony is held, it is equivalent to the largest and highest level of fasting and offering sacrifices in Taoism and Buddhism.

"What on earth does Emperor Ming want to do?" Xu Qing muttered to himself.

At first, he guessed that Emperor Ming wanted to attack the North Pole Exorcism Institute, but if that was the case, wouldn't the current arrangements be too outrageous?
Jingqing heard Xu Qing talking to himself, but it did not resolve his doubts.

Just said:
"Let's go to the Royal Palace."

"Now the White Dragon Temple, White Cloud Temple, and Yunshan Academy are all here, plus you, the inspector representing Yuanfu Temple."

"This lineup is exactly the same as when the four families decided to set up the North Pole Exorcism Institute when the Great Sheng was founded, responsible for dealing with the evil spirits in the Great Sheng!"
