The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 559 Joy of Life 115

The sword of Si Gu Jian emphasizes unwavering advance and using offense as defense.

Li Chengze narrowed his eyes, stood on the water wall, and looked down at Si Gu Jian who was rushing towards him. Just as the sword energy was about to hit him, he suddenly took two steps back and hid behind the water wall.

Si Gu Jian cleaved the water wall with a single sword strike, and the remaining sword energy vanished just before it touched Li Chengze.

Seeing this, Si Gu Jian's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, but despite the wound that had started to bleed again, he raised his hand and struck again with his sword.

In an instant, sharp sword energy surged through the wall of water.

"Seeing this sword strike is enough!"

Li Chengze tilted his head slightly, opened his hands again, and flicked his sword fingers upwards—

The surging wall of water instantly transformed into thousands of longswords, each radiating a chilling aura, silently hovering around him.

Li Chengze shouted, "Go!"

The longsword, suspended in mid-air, went without hesitation towards the Four-Look Sword rushing down.

Swish-

The sound of longswords slicing through the air was incessant, converging into a single sound that created an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Si Gu Jian's eyes were fixed on the translucent longsword that flashed past him. The blade was slightly blue, and there seemed to be water flowing inside.

It really is water!

Si Gu Jian practiced swordsmanship for decades and became the foremost swordsman of his time.

But today is the first time I've seen someone actually able to manipulate the boundless sea, transforming seawater into sharp swords with just a wave of their hand.

Si Gu Jian found it all rather unbelievable, muttering to himself, "How is this possible? How can water be used as a sword? And how can one person control so many flying swords? What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

As he muttered to himself, Si Gu Jian's pupils lost sight of Li Chengze, leaving only a series of flying swords.

Even if he dodges the first flying sword, the second flying sword, the third flying sword... there are still millions more waiting for him.

"This swordsmanship...this swordsmanship...uh..."

Si Gu Jian strained his eyes, trying to see the principles behind the formation of these longswords and to understand what kind of swordsmanship the person in front of him was using.

If he were at his peak at this time, he could naturally have a good fight with Li Chengze.

pity--

At this moment, having been ambushed by Emperor Qing, he was at his last gasp, not much stronger than Ku He had been earlier.

Under the overwhelming barrage of water swords, he ultimately could not withstand it.

"...What beautiful swordsmanship!"

Si Gu Jian gazed at the long sword swirling and dancing in the air, a hint of fascination in his eyes. After leaving behind these words, his body slowly sank into the vast sea.

The thousands of flying swords seemed to lose control, transforming back into water droplets and falling down with him.

Just before Si Gu Jian fell into the sea, Li Chengze caught his sword.

The tattered longsword was covered in blood, and the strong smell of blood kept wafting into people's noses.

Li Chengze frowned, suppressing his discomfort, and headed straight for the mountaintop with his sword.

The mountaintop was now a scene of utter devastation, with the corpses of all the Imperial Guards, Tiger Guards, and accompanying officials lying haphazardly in front of the temple.

After Emperor Qing looked around and confirmed that there were no survivors except for himself and Ye Liuyun, he was about to leave Mount Dadong as originally planned, and then fake his death to incite unrest in the capital.

Emperor Qing felt a pang of regret that Si Gu Jian and Ku He had managed to leave Da Dong Shan alive.

If the two die here, Dongyi City and Northern Qi will surely be thrown into chaos. Then he can take advantage of the situation to send troops to attack both places, which will surely be twice as effective.

such a pity!

Fortunately, both of them were barely clinging to life; even if they went back, they wouldn't live much longer.

Emperor Qing let out a soft breath, and when he turned his gaze to Ye Liuyun, a barely perceptible hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

However, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes darkened, his expression softened, and he said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Uncle. Without your strong support, I would never have been able to get rid of Si Gu Jian and Ku He so easily."

Those who can become grandmasters must possess first-rate intellect, temperament, and wisdom.

Ye Liuyun obeyed Emperor Qing's orders only because he cared about the Ye family.

He didn't miss the fleeting murderous intent in Emperor Qing's eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

In Emperor Qing's eyes, all Grandmasters are monsters who should not exist in this world.

Emperor Qing painstakingly planned and even drove his own sister mad to set up such a huge trap, naturally intending to capture all the Grandmasters except for himself, including Ye Liuyun.

He himself is now seriously injured, while Emperor Qing still has the strength to fight.

The reason they haven't made a move is probably because they still want to use him to work together to eliminate the Grandmaster who just broke through.

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat disheartened, and decided to leave.

"In today's battle, Your Majesty has successfully eliminated Si Gu Jian and Ku He. From now on, Dongyi City and Northern Qi will no longer be a match for Qing Kingdom. It seems that the day Your Majesty unifies the world is not far off! It is a pity that I am seriously injured and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's eyes darkened, but a smile appeared on his lips: "Uncle, everything you have done is for the sake of Qing Kingdom, and I am naturally extremely grateful. Now that you are injured, why don't you come back to the capital with me to recuperate? I have already betrothed Ling'er to my second son, so you can enjoy a cup of wedding wine on your way."

Ye Liuyun understood the deeper meaning in Emperor Qing's words, realizing that the other party did not want him to leave easily, and even brought up the Ye family to put pressure on him.

Ye Liuyun smiled bitterly, feeling the pain in his wounds intensify.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, he felt a tremendous force coming from the sea, and his expression immediately changed.

Ye Liuyun subconsciously turned to look at Emperor Qing, only to see that the other party also looked surprised.

"Such powerful sword energy, could it be the Four Directions Sword?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Qing did not respond immediately, but focused on sensing the sharp sword intent, his eyes growing increasingly gloomy.

"Si Gu Jian has had half of his body cut off, and now he is only on his last breath. Such powerful sword energy is definitely not something he can do now."

As he spoke, Emperor Qing gave a cold laugh and secretly adjusted his breathing, trying to recover his true energy as much as possible.

His true energy had been completely exhausted in the battle just now; otherwise, he would not have stood by and watched Si Gu Jian and Ku He, who were barely clinging to life, escape.

"Who exactly is this person? Could he be a newly promoted Grandmaster?" Emperor Qing wondered to himself, while Ye Liuyun remained much calmer.
