Chapter 235: Chapter 213: The Sword of Justice, Three Feet Long, Banishes Evil from the Emperor’s Capital

Night fell, and all was silent.

The Imperial Palace seemed devoid of life on this night.

Soon, Luu Hermit and his group stepped into the grand hall.

They saw the Emperor seated on the Dragon Chair, his gaze burning as he looked at them.

Luu Hermit felt a jolt in his heart; the Emperor’s gaze was terrifying, giving rise to an almost irresistible urge to kneel and bow in reverence.

The thought had barely arisen before Luu Hermit crushed it.

Emperor or not, he was just a mortal.

He could destroy him with a flick of his fingers—it wouldn’t require the slightest effort.

Turning to Song Lin, Luu Hermit’s gaze was full of mockery, and he said, "What are you waiting for, Your Majesty?"

"Could it be that you knew of our arrival?"

"Indeed, you have finally arrived," Song Lin replied with a smile.

"Hmph, playing tricks, perhaps you were so scared you couldn’t run?"

The ghosts and gods roared with laughter.

A mighty ruler? Yet in the face of death, he was nothing more than an ordinary man, a plaything for their amusement.

Whoosh!

The Yin Wind blew gently, and the doors creaked shut.

The candles hanging from the columns suddenly ignited, casting an eerie green light.

The green light illuminated the semi-transparent faces of the ghosts and gods, making them appear eerily evil and demonic.

"Subject Luu Hermit pays respects to the Emperor and respectfully sends off the Emperor Ascending Immortal!"

Luu Hermit unsheathed a long sword and slowly advanced toward the hall.

"Come a little closer," Song Lin said, watching the scene unfold with great interest.

"Hmm?"

Luu Hermit grew increasingly uneasy. This Emperor seemed far too calm—was he bluffing, or did he have some kind of hidden power?

Not only Luu Hermit, but Li Chunfeng also sensed that something was amiss.

Li Chen’s fate foretold potential greatness realized late in life, along with misfortune in his later years. For an ordinary man, this fate was exceptional, but in Li Chunfeng’s eyes, it was merely an unremarkable imperial destiny.

Cultivators transcend the Three Realms and are beyond the Five Elements. Killing an Emperor posed no real difficulty.

So why did this ominous feeling persist?

Li Chunfeng knew he would not experience such a feeling without reason, so he extended a finger and pointed lightly toward the Heavenly Machine.

The Heavenly Machine began to spin faster and faster. The two arms of Chang’an and Wannian Counties stretched out, Vermilion Bird Street serving as the arrow shaft.

From all directions, the energies of the Military Governors, serpentine qi, and jiao-dragon qi rushed in.

If one were capable of Qi Observation Technique, they would see countless colorful meteors converging toward Chang’an.

Of course, those without sufficient mastery wouldn’t have seen the meticulous arrangement laid by Master Yuann Tiangang and his disciple.

The Dragon Slayer Arrow was poised to strike at the Emperor below.

This time, Li Chunfeng decided to take action personally to eliminate any unpredictable variables.

Boom!

At that moment, the Heart Nurturing Hall underwent a sudden shift.

Luu Hermit advanced step by step, his eyes alight with excitement and cruel intent that could no longer be concealed.

Kill the Emperor!

A hundred years ago, he had been nothing more than a small hunter. Now, capable of shifting the fate of the realm, the man hailed by the world as the "Little Taizong," Li Zhen, was nothing more than an ant before him.

Yes, an ant!

Luu Hermit brimmed with a hero’s confidence, his spirit unrestrained.

Song Lin rose to his feet, golden light radiating from the top of his head.

The golden light coalesced into a golden three-foot Spirit Sword.

"Impossible! How could you have learned Luo Gongyuan’s Nine Immortals Scripture?"

At the sight of this sword, Luu Hermit’s face paled, and terror surged within him.

Though he hadn’t studied the Swordman Skills, the cultivation realms of the Great Tang were almost universally categorized by the systems of Luo Gongyuan and Ye Fashan, spanning the First to the Seven Realms.

This sword, appearing both real and illusory, flexible and without form, was unmistakably a Spirit Sword.

The Spirit Sword could travel a thousand miles in an instant, signifying mastery of the Fifth Realm.

"Run!!"

Luu Hermit’s body began to fade, becoming translucent before disappearing entirely. He had vanished without a trace.

It was the Invisibility Technique.

If anything distinguished the Great Tang’s most renowned spells, it was undoubtedly this Invisibility Technique.

Many assassins in the world cultivated this technique, causing trouble even for Emperor Taizong and Xuanzong, leading them to value magicians highly. This was why so many extraordinary individuals emerged during the Golden Age of Tang.

"Hmm?" Song Lin raised an eyebrow, a slight surprise evident.

This Invisibility Technique wasn’t like ordinary concealment spells; it truly rendered one’s form invisible, untouchable even if standing directly in place.

"Do you really think you can escape just like that?"

Song Lin chuckled.

Swish!

In the pitch-black night, the Spirit Sword transformed into a brilliant golden streak, circling the air before scattering the ghosts and gods into ashes and finally embedding itself in the southeastern wall.

"Argh!!"

The air rippled, and Luu Hermit’s form reappeared, the Spirit Sword piercing through his dantian.

"How could you have discovered..." Luu Hermit was in utter disbelief.

"I didn’t discover you; the Spirit Sword did," Song Lin said with a smile.

The Spirit Sword, as its name implied, was a sword of extraordinary perception.

With a twist of the sword, Luu Hermit’s head flew from his shoulders.

"How dare you!"

A furious shout echoed through the void.

Li Chunfeng was both shocked and enraged—this demon had impersonated the Emperor and evaded his perception.

Boom!

The roof of the Heart Nurturing Hall was blown off by a formless force, and above Chang’an Imperial City, a thousand-zhang golden arrow appeared suspended in the sky.

The arrow gleamed with divine light, so resplendent that everyone in Chang’an City saw the scene before them.

Beneath the arrow cowered a trembling little dragon.

The yellow dragon huddled among the broken remains of the palace, shivering pitifully.

Song Lin looked up into the heavens, where a face formed from clouds stretched across the horizon.

"Finally, you’ve shown yourself!"

Song Lin had been awaiting this moment.

If he lost this battle, how would the world write his story?

Swish!

The Dragon Slayer Arrow descended.

This time, Li Chunfeng showed no hesitation, striking personally!

The divine arrow closing in on the palace, accompanied by that thunderous shout, caused a ripple of speculation throughout Chang’an City.

"The Emperor defied the heavens!"

"The Emperor is receiving divine punishment!"

Palace staff fled like startled birds and beasts, and the Imperial Army abandoned their armor in fear.

The divine arrow approached ever closer, its oppressive aura causing buildings and halls to crumble.

And yet, Song Lin stood motionless, even closing his eyes, unperturbed by the storm.

In the heavens, Li Chunfeng, puzzled yet unrelenting, pressed forward.

At that moment, golden lights erupted from all directions across Chang’an City.

Nine golden beams converged upon the Heart Nurturing Hall. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Roar!"

The dragon qi crouched among the ruins roared, its form expanding against the wind.

Ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang!

Beside it stood Kui Dragons and Coiled Dragons as guardians.

"What is this? Great Tang Dragon Qi?" The face formed from clouds was visibly stunned.

How could the Great Tang still possess so much dragon qi?

Such a concentration of dragon qi was enough to shake the foundation of the Dragon Slaying Array!

Crack! Crack!

The divine arrow began to fracture, on the verge of exploding.

The confrontation of divine arrow and Divine Dragon.

The people of Chang’an witnessed an unprecedented spectacle this day.

"Break the Array? Hmph, you may break the Array, but can you destroy my spell?"

Within the World in the Pot, Li Chunfeng sneered.

The Heavenly Machine spun relentlessly, while Taibai shone brilliantly.

A white beam descended from the Nine Heavens.

The white beam stretched five hundred zhang in length and one hundred zhang in width, resembling the Milky Way falling from the heavens.

This was the Taibai Golden Light, the deadliest force in all the world!

The Taibai Golden Light and the divine arrow fell together, their strength unstoppable.

Song Lin remained unmoved, even releasing Li Zhan, Li Ang, and Xing Hepu from the Upper Pure Pearl.

Xing Hepu’s beard quivered in fear at the sight.

"This... Li Chunfeng? What should we do!"

"Arrays and Feng Shui Bureau formations can be broken, but how do we counter magical spells?"

At this thought, Xing Hepu advised with urgency, "We should make our escape..."

"Old Xing, watch closely, and afterward deduce this man’s origins!"

Song Lin interrupted.

He opened his palm, where the Spirit Sword spun rapidly, sensing the killing intent in all directions. The sword seemed to cheer with anticipation.

Ten years honing a blade, and its frost had yet to taste blood. It was time for battle!

The Spirit Sword seemed to announce.

"Very well!"

Song Lin poured all his mana into the Spirit Sword.

Mana surged, creating solar and lunar phenomena!

The Spirit Sword expanded rapidly!

Ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang!

The Great Tang Dragon Qi coiled around the golden sword, forming the True Dragon Sword.

A massive vortex of black clouds swirled for hundreds of miles around the Spirit Sword.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven, to vanquish demons and slay evil! Strike!"

Song Lin’s eyes transformed into the sun and moon, his voice clear and resounding across the land!

Boom!

The Spirit Sword ascended to the Nine Heavens before plummeting straight downward.

It shattered the human face, the golden light, and the divine arrow in one fell swoop!

The Dragon Slaying Array and its Feng Shui layout were annihilated, as the divine sword embedded itself deeply atop the palace.

Song Lin stood before the divine sword, its light reflecting off him. He exuded an air of unstoppable power, as if a Sword Immortal had descended to the mortal realm!

"Fiend!"

Li Chunfeng’s spell was broken. He roared in unwilling fury, before disappearing entirely. Back in the World in the Pot, his true body spewed fresh blood.

This was the Sixth Realm Immortal Hero Chapter of the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique! Song Lin had borrowed the dragon qi to unleash it beyond his realm.

The technique was known as: The Justice Three-foot Sword, dispelling evil within the Imperial Capital; imprisoned at Lingxiao Palace, bringing light to all directions.

At that moment, the people of the Central Pass of the Great Tang, all the ghosts, demons, and hidden cultivators across the realm, gazed upon a single majestic divine sword.

"The world is changing!"

"Ha, a True Immortal has appeared—now it’s our time to rise and slay demons!"
