“Hmph!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon sneered down from the sky . He closed his fingers, and the twelve waves of energy shattered like mirrors, countless cracks appearing on them before they exploded into nothingness .

Bang!

The moment True Lord Yellow Dragon easily extinguished the twelve saber energies, one of the True Dragon Sentinels on the jade steps suddenly vanished . In the blink of an eye, he appeared above True Lord Yellow Dragon .

Clang! His saber roared as it left its sheath, slashing at True Lord Yellow Dragon with mountain-sundering power .

This was the first time a True Dragon Sentinel had chosen to leave the front of the palace to attack .

Bang!

No one even saw what True Lord Yellow Dragon did, only that when the True Dragon Sentinel appeared above him, the armor on his right chest suddenly crumpled like paper . With a single palm, True Lord Yellow Dragon sent the True Dragon Sentinel flying through the air and slamming into the metal walls of Taiji Palace .

Plush! Blood gushed out of the True Dragon Sentinel’s armor . Those walls made of Deep Sea Xuan Metal and reinforced with numerous inscriptions and formations caved in from the impact, leaving a human-shaped depression .

Everyone could sense the life rapidly draining out of the True Dragon Sentinel’s body, and by the time his body thudded to the ground, he was dead .

It was impossible to not be shocked by this . Everyone knew that True Lord Yellow Dragon was powerful, but no one had expected that he could kill a True Dragon Sentinel with a single palm .

“Go!”

The eyes of the remaining eleven True Dragon Sentinels turned red, and a moment later, the earth shook as they shot up from the ground toward True Lord Yellow Dragon .

The air resounded with the cries of dragons as the True Dragon Sentinels gripped their sabers and attacked in unison .

“A clown’s tricks!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon’s cold jeer rang out through the world .

A moment later, there was an explosion of golden light . Before the eleven True Dragon Sentinels could even get close, their heavy black armor began to shatter . All eleven of them were frozen in the air and then blasted backward by a tremendous force .

Boom!

The earth shuddered as those eleven True Dragon Sentinels were slammed into the jade steps, Taiji Palace, and the area around it .

Crack! The sturdy jade steps reinforced by underground formations exploded into piles of debris .

The weapons held by the True Dragon Sentinels flew out of their hands .

“True Lord!”

“True Lord!”

The loud cheers of the men in black were infectious for the Imperial Army elites, and they joined in with their own cheers .

Thud! A True Dragon Sentinel tried to stand up, his hands pressing against the white jade steps as Stellar Energy flowed through his body .

But in a flash of light, True Lord Yellow Dragon vanished from the air, and when he reappeared, his foot slammed down onto the True Dragon Sentinel, burying his body into the steps .

The True Dragon Sentinel’s body trembled as he vomited blood . His life rapidly faded, and he was soon a corpse .

“Dragon Four!”

Four other True Dragon Sentinels bellowed and lunged at the yellow-robed man, their Stellar Energies howling around them and surging forward like tsunamis .

“Not knowing your own strength!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon continued to step forward . As he did, he flicked his finger . A small ball of golden light left his hand, churning with destructive energy, and rapidly grew to the size of a large bowl .

Bang!

As the ball of light flew forward, it shattered the waves of Stellar Energy, and with its remaining strength, it struck the True Dragon Sentinels .

The entire world quaked . Everyone could only watch in shock as those four True Dragon Sentinels were simply obliterated, pulverized into dust that scattered in the air .

After killing the four True Dragon Sentinels, True Lord Yellow Dragon indifferently continued forward, his face unperturbed as if this feat had been a mere trifle .

“Truly fools! Since you’re not willing to let it go, this god will simply end things!”

True Lord Yellow Dragon turned his gaze to the open doors of Taiji Palace, but the fingers of his left hand opened and aimed at the six remaining True Dragon Sentinels .

Buzz!

However, just when it seemed like the last six True Dragon Sentinels were going to die, True Lord Yellow Dragon raised an eyebrow and stopped .

Boom!

A split-second later, a blazing Sword Qi lit up the heavens, charging out of the darkness and shooting toward True Lord Yellow Dragon .

This attack had started from several thousand feet away, but by the time True Lord Yellow Dragon turned his head, it was on the verge of impact .

A massive explosion instantly engulfed True Lord Yellow Dragon .

At the same time, bzzzz! Space fractured, leaving a scar several thousand feet in length across the sky, tracing the Sword Qi’s path through the air .

One could clearly see the smooth cuts made in the fabric of space .

“Ah!”

Countless people cried out in alarm and backed away to the sides .

But what alarmed the men in black even more was that someone dared to attack True Lord Yellow Dragon .

“True Lord!”

The men in black rushed toward True Lord Yellow Dragon, but some of them turned around in anger and charged in the direction the attack had come from .

Yet before they could get very far, plush! The sounds of swords penetrating through bodies rang out .

These men in black had been pierced through by wisps of Sword Qi . With large holes ripped through their chests, they trembled and dropped motionless to the ground .

Whoosh!

In a gust of wind, a figure suddenly appeared several dozen from the white jade steps .

But just by standing there, this man seemed like a sword thrust into the earth, whose blinding Sword Qi soared to the heavens .

He had snow-white hair and a slender figure, and wore a thin black robe .

“Su Zhengchen!”

The First Prince instantly paled upon seeing this familiar figure .

He had investigated Su Zhengchen, particularly after Hou Junji had recommended it, so he was extremely familiar with Su Zhengchen’s appearance . And in the capital, no one except Su Zhengchen could unleash a sword of such terrifying power .

Even now, the wound in the sky had yet to completely heal .

For Su Zhengchen to appear at a time like this did not bode well!

“Kill!”

After their initial shock, all the surrounding men in black snarled . Seething with killing intent, they rushed at Su Zhengchen .

“Withdraw!”

A thunderous roar, imbued with boundless majesty, exploded in everyone’s ears .

Winds howled and thunder pealed . The sound of that familiar voice made all the men in black shiver and withdraw .

The dust settled on the steps, revealing a massive gash that had split those white jade steps into two and scattered debris in every direction .

True Lord Yellow Dragon stood above the wreckage, his expression as cold as ice .

Despite the majesty and sharpness of Su Zhengchen’s attack, True Lord Yellow Dragon appeared completely unharmed .

“What a powerful Sword Qi! To think that after several hundred years, another mortal would appear who could cultivate the sword to this level…!”

A hint of surprise appeared in True Lord Yellow Dragon’s eyes as he stared at the nearby Su Zhengchen .

At True Lord Yellow Dragon’s level of cultivation, the peerless experts of the mortal world were merely ants . Even the twelve True Dragon Sentinels had been nothing more than slightly larger ants, posing no threat to him at all .

But this attack had been different, and True Lord Yellow Dragon had felt slightly threatened . Even if it was just a little, this was still something that True Lord Yellow Dragon had not experienced in a very long time .

“But it’s a pity . Even with your cultivation, you’re still no match for this god! Withdraw! Given how difficult it was to reach this level of cultivation, I can spare your life!” True Lord Yellow Dragon coldly said .

In his position, he rarely said such words . He clearly had a very good impression of this old subject of the Great Tang .

“I remember your energy . You failed twenty years ago, so why did you come again?” Su Zhengchen suddenly said .

His words left True Lord Yellow Dragon dumbfounded .

“Who are you? How did you know about that!?”

True Lord Yellow Dragon’s face darkened, his tone shifting . There was also a subtle shift in the mood .

The others in the crowd were also taken aback . What were these two talking about?

“Some things can happen once, but not twice . As you’ve already failed, you shouldn’t have come again!” Su Zhengchen declared . His expression was firm, and he showed no fear in front of the leader of this organization of men in black .

“I missed out on my chance twenty years ago . This time, no matter what, I won’t let you step into Taiji Palace!”

“Is that so?”

True Lord Yellow Dragon chuckled in understanding .

“But alas, you’re not strong enough to defeat me!”

“You’re truly very strong, but I have to try before I know whether I can defeat you or not . To deal with you, this old man is willing to make an exception!”

Su Zhengchen’s eyes were steeled with resolve . As he spoke, he raised his right hand far above his head, seemingly attempting to reach into the night sky .

“Sword, come to me!”

“Sword, come to me!”

“Sword, come to me!”

This thunderous roar echoed through the world, traveling far and wide .

Everything fell silent for what seemed both like one second and like countless years .

Roooar!

A heaven-shaking roar exploded in everyone’s ears—not from Su Zhengchen, but from behind Taiji Palace, deep within the Imperial Palace .

Bang!

The Imperial Palace shuddered as if a massive dragon was struggling to break out of the earth .

Boom! A dazzling ray of light soared out of the Imperial Palace, slicing a giant arc across the night sky before turning around and shooting in Su Zhengchen’s direction .
