Translator: 549690339
That night, he rushed to Cui Manor and asked for the reason. He was panicking because he didn’t know what had happened. Grand Secretary Cui didn’t know what had happened between the empress and the crown prince, but he couldn’t find out the details.
However, from the perspective of Zheng Fugui and Chen Youcai’s promotion, the Crown Prince’s authority had increased, and Chen Youcai had taken over as the prefect. On the premise that Ren Shangxuan had not made any mistakes, it would not be reasonable not to give him some benefits, which was why this scene had happened.
As for Zheng Fugui, he was just a martial artist with a rank of 5th Rank and was not worth mentioning.
She told him to relax and not worry. She told him to arrange the matters in Beijing and go to Jinzhou to take over. When he arrived, he had to take Jinzhou as soon as possible and make it his foundation.
Ren Shangxuan felt at ease. He expressed his stance and flattered a few times before taking his leave.
The next day.
After handing over to Chen Youcai, he went through the transfer procedures.
After learning that he had been promoted, his friends and subordinates took turns treating him to a meal. It was inevitable that they would get to know each other better, and it would only end tonight.
He thought of the young lady who had just arrived at the Education Department. She was small, exquisite, and soft-spoken. It was as if a cat had scratched her. His heart itched and he drank a little too much wine.
“Burp
He burped. Although he was drunk, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled smugly. He touched a long box with his right hand. It was a gift from his good friend, Zhao Chengjie. There was a spiritual treasure inside called the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword. According to him, it was refined from the dragon pearl of a five-clawed golden dragon with a high cultivation level, the dragon bone, and other precious materials. It was a top-notch spiritual treasure with a powerful lightning attribute.
He took the box and placed it on his lap. It was silver in color and was engraved with exquisite lightning patterns. A talisman was attached to it to prevent the aura from leaking out and limit it in the box.
Ren Shangxuan smiled and said,” Old Zhao, you did well this time. You gave me a top-notch spiritual treasure. Thank you!” When we reach Jinzhou and there is a suitable position. we will transfer him over.”
He wanted to see its power. Although he was a scholar and not a martial artist, everyone liked treasures.
He took off the Spirit Sealing Talisman and placed it on the side. He unlocked the jade box and held it tightly. His heart was in his throat. He was nervous, curious, and had a desire for the unknown. He suddenly used force to open it, revealing the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword inside. It was golden in color and engraved with the pattern of the origin of lightning. It was magnificent and exquisite. The sword contained dense lightning power. As the jade box was opened, the violent lightning power rushed out without its cover, emitting a destructive aura. It was as if a sword strike could destroy everything. It turned everything into nothingness.
His eyes were fixed on the sword and he could not move his gaze away. Because of his excitement, his outstretched hand trembled as he grabbed the sword hilt and took it out.
The electric arcs were mobilized, and silver-white lightning bolts exploded one after another, causing a huge sound.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The satisfaction on his face grew. When the atmosphere was right, he couldn’t help but wave it twice. The sword cut through the sky and left a series of silver lightning shadows in the carriage.
After a while, he stopped.
“What a good Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword!” Ren Shangxuan praised.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, and the thunder in the nine heavens continued to sound like a fairy scattering flowers. It spread in all directions. It was clearly far away in the sky, but as it moved, it seemed to be close at hand.
At this moment, Ren Shangxuan was waving the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword in the carriage. It was refined with a five-clawed golden dragon of the thunder attribute, and the thunder essence contained in it was very dense. Under its guidance, the thunder above the nine heavens suddenly struck down a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket. It surpassed the speed of light and descended from the sky, aiming at the carriage below, and struck down ruthlessly.
The sudden scene frightened Li Qizhou. His expression changed drastically as if he was facing a great enemy. His old eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not dare to hold back. He circulated his cultivation to the limit and roared,” Protect the Lord!”
With his cultivation, if he wanted to leave now, no matter how fast the lightning was, he could escape when it struck down. However, Ren Shangxuan was still in the car. If he left, Ren Shangxuan would definitely die!
Although it wouldn’t take long to bring him away, and it would only take a breath to do so, the lightning wouldn’t give him a chance. It would fall within a breath.
If he was unprepared, he would only die faster if he took the lightning head-on!
Ignoring the consumption of true essence, it condensed into a blue barrier, protecting the entire carriage inside. Even so, it was still not at ease. No matter how powerful human strength was, it could not withstand the power of nature.
He used a secret technique and changed hand seals. He didn’t hesitate to hurt his origin energy, making it impossible for his cultivation to advance any further. He stimulated his potential and forcefully doubled the power of the barrier.
The surrounding guards reacted quickly as well. Looking at the lightning that was as thick as a bucket and contained destructive power, they could feel it from far away. They were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
Fortunately, they were all elites and had experienced hundreds of battles. Even when faced with the power of nature, they were slightly stunned and came back to their senses. Even though they knew that they were going to die, they still stood up without hesitation. They circulated their cultivation techniques and internal strength, adding them to Li Qizhou’s true essence shield to forcefully increase its defense and resist the lightning that was coming down.
Inside the car.
Ren Shangxuan had just finished his sword dance. When he heard Li Qizhou’s words, he thought that someone was trying to assassinate him and looked disdainful! This was the capital. If they dared to touch him, the thief would probably not even know how he died.
He lifted the curtains and saw a blue barrier protecting the carriage. The two teams of guards poured their internal strength into it to increase its defense. A terrifying aura came from the sky, and the surrounding world seemed to be daytime. He subconsciously looked up and saw a terrifying lightning bolt striking down violently.
Even his soul was scared silly!
Looking at the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword in his hand, how could he not understand that he had been set up by someone? He had chosen to send it today instead of sending it off earlier or later. The rainstorm had not stopped. Was he trying to use the thunderbolt to get rid of him?
His thoughts turned quickly. As expected of an old fox in the officialdom. Who was the one who instructed Zhao Chengjie?
He didn’t have time to think too much. With the fastest speed in his life, he put the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword into the jade box. He wanted to close the box and stick the Spirit Sealing Talisman on it, but it was already too late.
No matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than lightning?
It directly struck the blue barrier, and a destructive power erupted. In an instant, the barrier was destroyed. The guards who were the first to bear the brunt of the attack exploded, and blood rained down. Before they could land on the ground, they were devoured by lightning and dissipated.
Li Qizhou had withstood the first wave of impact, but he had already reached his limit. His meridians, flesh, and blood had all reached their limits, but he was still desperately holding on. When the second breath arrived, he could no longer withstand it. He looked in despair at the lightning that was charging towards him and was directly devoured.
The shield dissipated, and the carriage was exposed in front of Thunder.
Feeling the aura of death, Ren Shangxuan was in despair! Remorse, unwillingness, anger, he wished he could tear Zhao Chengjie into pieces, but it was too late to say anything now.
He could only watch as the carriage dissipated in front of the terrifying power of the lightning.
The lightning engulfed him mercilessly and landed on the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword.
Chi!
The golden and silver light revolved, stimulating the thunder essence contained in the sword. It emitted tens of thousands of rays of light that lit up the world. It rushed into the sky at lightning speed.
At the same time.
The Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword absorbed the lightning crazily to strengthen itself. With every bit of lightning it absorbed, its aura would become stronger, as if it was undergoing a transformation.
Within a few breaths.
He rushed into the sky and bathed in the sea of lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heavens and earth exploded, and a crazy roar sounded. Terrifying lightning snakes swam and rushed in all directions.
Bathed in the sea of lightning, not only was the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword not destroyed, but it was also like a fish in water, devouring the surrounding lightning even more vigorously as if it was its home ground.
A black shadow rushed out from the darkness. The moment the Dragon Emperor Sky Thunder Sword rose into the sky, he wanted to catch it. However, he was a step too slow and allowed it to escape, resulting in the scene before him..
