Chapter 1234
"The Cui family of Qinghe, a thousand-year-old tradition?"
"Today, I, Xu Shan, personally ended his life."
Looking at the seal script on the golden plaque of the Cui family's ancestral home, Xu Shan muttered it to himself and then swung his arm, shattering it from a distance.
'boom! '
'Clatter.'
The powerful force not only shattered the golden plaque into pieces, but also destroyed the gate of the Cui family's ancestral home!
‘Gulu. ’
Upon witnessing this scene, the family heads, guests, and officials on the periphery couldn't help but swallow hard.
It's important to know that this golden plaque has a remarkable history.
Xu Shan's actions, at best, were arrogant and domineering; at worst, they were utterly rebellious!
Just as they had envisioned, Xu Shan smashed the golden plaque and the gate. Inside the ancestral home, Old Master Cui's hysterical roar echoed.
"Xu Shan, this plaque was bestowed by the late emperor."
“You dare to cut him to pieces in public, which is a great act of treason.”
"Haha."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan not only did not restrain himself, but his laughter became even more rampant.
"The late emperor?"
"Zhu Wushang?"
'boom.'
When Xu Shan bluntly stated the title of Emperor Qiming, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
It should be known that in the Ming Dynasty, directly mentioning the emperor's name was a major taboo!
But for Xu Shan...
It was he who, wielding the knife, personally killed the other man.
"you you……"
"The number of gold plaques and death-exemption tokens bestowed by Zhu Wushang is quite considerable."
"My lord, you slaughtered a group in Jiangnan and then another group in Shu County."
"Once we reach the north, how can we be an exception?"
As Xu Shan said this, he strode into the Cui family's ancestral home.
At this moment, the Cui family members present were firmly protected behind them by the elite members of the Iron Blood Hall, led by Yuan Qingshan.
In terms of numbers, the other side has a clear advantage.
"Sir!"
"Aren't you going in to help Duke Xu?"
"After all, Sword God Yuan and the elites of the Iron Blood Hall are all inside."
"Even Duke Xu can't withstand the wolf pack tactic!"
Some of the guests outside the door, upon witnessing this scene, cautiously inquired with the Imperial Guards beside them.
Upon hearing this, the accompanying Imperial Guards replied earnestly, "Help? If we go, we'll only become a burden to you, sir."
"But, but Elder Yuan, the Sword God, is a veteran ninth-rank Grandmaster."
After he finished speaking, everyone, including Ma Ruteng, turned their attention to the few Imperial Guards.
They have now 'changed allegiances'.
Deep down, I naturally hope that Xu Shan can win everything.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards looked at the crimson-clad figure with reverence and awe, saying, "Only a ninth-rank official."
“My master killed more than one person.”
"Remember it!"
"In heaven and on earth, my master is omnipotent and invincible!"
As they spoke, Yuan Qingshan, gripping his sword hilt tightly inside the ancestral home, also spoke up: "I'd like to see for myself the renowned Director of the Divine Machine Secretariat, whose name is known throughout the entire Ming Dynasty..."
"Has he truly inherited Master Yuan's mantle and is able to control everything in Qinghe with one hand?"
"The Sword Immortal kneels!"
'bass! ’
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Qingshan, who was hailed as the number one swordsman in the north, instantly unleashed his sword intent.
In that instant, not only the Cui family members present, but also the guests and officials who had stayed away felt the aftershocks of the sword energy.
"Okay, so strong!"
"The Immortal with One Sword kneels?"
"Old Master Yuan, the Sword God, this sword can slay even immortals."
"You, Xu Shan, can you stop it?"
The Cui family members, protected behind the Iron Blood Hall members, roared excitedly upon sensing all of this.
Upon hearing this, Ma Ruteng and the others, who were personally experiencing the menacing aura of the sword, were filled with apprehension for Master Xu.
They then pledged their utmost loyalty to Duke Xu.
They also hoped that in the future, after climbing up this towering tree, their family would rise to great heights.
If so, he would have died on the spot...
Wouldn't that be like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket—all for nothing?
Just as everyone was experiencing a mix of emotions, each feeling different from the last.
Facing the powerful and violent sword intent, Master Xu not only showed no intention of dodging, but even put one hand behind his back and raised only his right arm.
He wanted to block with his bare hands!
"To block Sword God Yuan's sword with one's bare body?"
"Like an egg striking a rock."
"You don't know what you can do!"
The elders of the Iron Blood Hall and the members of the Cui family who witnessed this scene were all overjoyed.
Even if you, Xu Shan, are incredibly strong...
Looking across the entire world, who would dare to so underestimate a ninth-grade Great Perfection sword intent that could cause the fall of a pseudo-saint?
While they were shouting these things, Ma Ruteng and the others on the periphery had their hearts in their throats.
"Duke Xu, you're so foolish!"
"We really shouldn't have underestimated them."
Aside from the Imperial Guards, the most relaxed and composed person at the scene was Xu Shan, the person in question.
When the sword intent was already rushing towards him...
A smile appeared on his already relaxed face.
This is a disdainful and contemptuous sneer!
"Is this all the sword intent of the Northern Sword God is?"
'Uh-huh. '
As Xu Shan said this, a scarlet eye suddenly flashed in his palm.
The next second, the sword intent that appeared extremely violent to outsiders was instantly devoured by this 'demonic eye'.
Immediately afterwards, the sword intent was decomposed and refined by the Seven-Colored True Soul.
The profound sword intent that Yuan Qingshan had comprehended over decades was gradually grasped by Master Xu.
This is the correct way to unlock the Crimson Eyes and the Seven-Colored True Soul.
One can devour everything, while the other can dissect and refine all laws!
Their complementary cooperation allowed Master Xu to gain even more insights during battle.
The sword intent storm that had just caused the world to change instantly returned to normal the moment Xu Shan raised his hand!
The Cui family members and the elders of the Iron Blood Hall still had excited expressions on their faces, which had not yet faded.
As the sword intent dissipated, he froze in place.
"How...how could this be?"
"What kind of evil magic do you practice?"
"How is this possible? It has devoured my sword intent?"
Even Yuan Qingshan himself couldn't believe his voice and screamed at that moment.
Although Ma Ruteng and the others on the periphery were unaware of what had happened inside, they could still sense it from Yuan Qingshan's outburst of screams...
Duke Xu easily deflected the sword intent!
Moreover, it seems that he was using a technique that he knew nothing about but still terrified him.
Facing Yuan Qingshan, a questioning voice broke through her defenses.
Xu Shan wore a disdainful smile.
Instead of answering his question, she looked up at the clear sky and seemed to be muttering to herself, or perhaps speaking to everyone present.
"In Qinghe, is it possible for this Duke to have no power over everything?"
'boom! ’
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura instantly enveloped everyone present.
However, in just a few breaths, the once clear blue sky was shrouded in darkness.
