"What!"
Everyone was shocked. Such a powerful ancient creature had been killed in a single blow!
Immediately, a young man soared into the sky, his silver hair fluttering, his figure majestic, standing in mid-air surrounded by a rain of light.
With a wave of his hand, a small tree flew straight back and landed in his hand. The towering sword energy he had just felt was emitted from this small tree.
"It's Nangong Zheng, the most powerful human being!"
"Nangong Zheng's reputation is well-deserved. No wonder he has killed three Holy Lords in succession. He is so powerful!"
"Has he broken through again? Could it be that he has entered that crucial realm?"
Many people were shocked and recognized Nangong Zheng.
However, many people didn't pay much attention, as they were all focused on battling the ancient artifact.
After all, there were too many ancient creatures. As those creatures swept across the sky, many people in the divine city, like paper, were torn to pieces and turned into a bloody mist.
Even with the intervention of a Saint Lord-level figure, it was difficult to stop such a terrifying creature.
At this moment, Nangong Zheng was very surprised, because he discovered that his sapling, which was stained with the blood of the ancient creature, was now glowing slightly. Strands of purple moonlight faded, transforming into purple divine matter that seeped into the sapling's roots and nourished it.
"Could it be that this tree can refine blood for evolution!" Nangong Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. If that were the case, it would be wonderful. Refining the essence of life could nourish the sapling, strengthening its Dao-proving artifact and allowing it to leap to a new level of life sooner.
"You have committed murder by killing my people!!"
Suddenly, a cold female voice rang out, filled with murderous intent, locking onto Nangong Zheng.
"Clang clang clang!"
Ancient music drifted in, but it was not gentle; its murderous aura was like a raging torrent, and the music was like the sound of swords, clanging and resounding.
On a white cloud, a slender woman sits cross-legged, plucking the strings of an ancient musical instrument that sounds like a zheng.
Clearly visible, beams of light shot down from the sky, and the sounds of the guzheng swept over Nangong Zheng like a tidal wave.
It was a terrifying sound of killing, like the clanging of swords and the thunder of horses, as if thousands of troops were galloping, with boundless killing intent sweeping in.
"Ah..."
Some people wailed. Although the terrifying sounds of killing were not directed at them, some people still suffered. Many people's eardrums ruptured instantly, blood flowed from their ears, and they fell to the ground wailing incessantly.
"With your abilities, you'll need to cultivate for another ten thousand years!"
Nangong Zheng snorted coldly. With a flick of his finger, green grass appeared in the sky, its runes severing heaven and earth, releasing an immortal radiance. Its sword energy soared into the sky, making the sun and moon lose their color.
"What!"
The woman playing the zither in the clouds paled, her body instantly chilled as she sensed a tremendous crisis. Not daring to confront it head-on, she transformed into a divine light and rushed towards the heavens.
However, in the blink of an eye, the World collapsed, and sword energy filled the air, engulfing the area and causing many people to change their expressions.
boom!
A peerless sword light streaked across the sky at incredible speed. The woman was horrified. She bit her tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the zither, and the zither shone brightly, blocking the woman's path.
However, the guzheng was directly cleaved in two by the sword energy, shattering into pieces and bursting into flames.
The ancient woman in the clouds was shocked and staggered backward. That was the weapon of a Dao-slaying King, and it was destroyed in a single blow.
Clang!
Nangong Zheng continued to flick his fingers, and an astonishing sword aura soared into the sky, filled with boundless vitality, slashing towards the ancient woman.
"What!"
The ancient woman screamed as her beautiful head was severed, separating her body from her head. As her head fell, her beautiful eyes still held a deep sense of disbelief.
Nangong was controlling the sapling and absorbing the woman's life essence. Sure enough, he felt that the sapling had been strengthened again, even more so than the strange creature from before.
"This person is incredibly strong!"
The ancient creatures in Purple Mountain were all horrified. This person was too terrifying. In just a moment, two of them had been killed. This made them look at Nangong Zheng with a hint of fear.
"What a fine Nangong Zheng!"
The Holy Masters of the Jiang and Ji families were both dumbfounded. That woman was terrifying; even they dared not challenge her. They never expected that Nangong Zheng would instantly kill her.
boom!
A crimson light shot into the sky, like a divine phoenix.
Then, a dazzling light shot into the sky, and overwhelming divine power surged forth.
Another overwhelming wave swept across the sky, with a dragon's roar resounding through the heavens and earth, and the supreme pressure almost split the heavens and earth apart!
The Sun God Furnace, the Void Realm, and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron! Three imperial weapons were summoned!
At this moment, all the ancient creatures changed their expressions and retreated like a tide.
Although he didn't unleash the full power of the ultimate path, the mere exertion of pressure was already terrifying!
At this moment, the ancient creatures were no longer ferocious; they calmed down, retreated to the horizon, and confronted the people in the divine city.
In the sky, ancient creatures gathered, and clouds and mist churned. There was a huge block of divine source there. Although it had not broken out of its source, it exuded a terrifying and overwhelming pressure.
Within the divine city, several holy lords soared into the sky, wielding supreme imperial weapons, and confronted them.
A powerful spiritual fluctuation, like a surging tide, swept across the sky as the divine-level powerhouses and the ancient forces engaged in conversation.
"Stop disturbing our peace!"
A huge black hole appeared in the sky. They crossed the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With the crisis in the divine city resolved, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
First, Nangong Zheng took decisive action, and then the Supreme Emperor Weapon was deployed, finally quelling the turmoil!
...
The entire divine city was in an uproar, with everyone discussing Purple Mountain and the Great Emperor Wushi.
Soon, news spread that Jiang Taixu was not dead!
Jiang Taixu, the God-King of the Jiang family, who has lived for nearly five thousand years, is still alive and was rescued during this attack on Zishan.
Many people are envious. Regardless of whether or not there is the inheritance of Wushi, the Jiang family will definitely be the biggest beneficiary this time!
Not only did a Great God-King return.
More importantly, Jiang Taixu possessed the "Fighting" secret among the Nine Secrets. This caused a stir throughout the Eastern Wilderness, with many coveting it and wanting to seize it.
The Jiang family was on high alert, protecting Jiang Taixu with ultimate weapons, fearing that he might be taken advantage of.
Jiang Taixu managed to rescue him, but he was practically dead; his physical body had withered, and his spirit had almost vanished.
The old god king was too weak to be sent back to the Jiang family, so he could only recuperate in the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Divine City.
Meanwhile, the Jiang family sought miraculous medicines in various places, offering exorbitant prices to purchase life-saving methods from people all over the World.
One day, the divine city was shaken. A top expert attacked the Dragon Transformation Pool, killing one of the Jiang family's Grand Elders. If it weren't for the power of the Hengyu Furnace, Jiang Taixu would most likely have perished.
From that day on, the Jiang family became even more vigilant, sealing off the entire divine city with the Sun God Furnace.
Furthermore, the Jiang family began recruiting experts from everywhere to protect the now-dying Jiang Taixu.
...
Nangong Zheng, who was in seclusion, was also visited by an older man from the Jiang family. He was dressed in a moon-white robe, had a kind face, and it was impossible to tell his age.
This person calls himself Jiang Yun, a top figure in the lineage of the Taixu Divine King!
The Jiang family is divided into two branches. Although there are few descendants of the Jiang God King lineage, they are all incredibly powerful and protect Jiang Taixu at the Dragon Transformation Pool.
This person personally came to invite Nangong Zheng, requesting that he protect the now-dying God King Jiang Taixu!
