114: Emperor Gaozu versus the last Emperor Yu!

Greeting all excited gazes, Li Shengyuan raised the Son of Heaven Sword high.

At this moment, he was surprised to find mysterious power from heaven and earth continuously pouring into the sword!

After a moment of surprise, Li Shengyuan suddenly understood.

Even the Cangsheng Brush, a mere second-grade magical artifact, could summon Power of Sentient Beings. As the Great Qian's nation-guarding divine sword, the Son of Heaven Sword, which had been enshrined by the Great Qian Imperial Family for a thousand years, was intimately connected with the Great Qian's national destiny. Mobilizing Power of Sentient Beings was even easier, not even requiring Li Shengyuan's help.

It could be said that the stronger the Great Qian was, the greater the power the Son of Heaven Sword could unleash!

In contrast, the Blood God Spear was somewhat isolated. Although it had completely absorbed the power of a third-grade expert, whose blood essence could make it stronger, its source of power was still too singular compared to the Son of Heaven Sword, which could utilize the Great Qian's national power.

At this moment, Mu Yunxiao, who had sacrificed him, was being treated as a backup energy source, constantly having his blood essence extracted.

With a face as pale as paper, Mu Yunxiao no longer had his previous composure. Feeling his blood essence being drawn uncontrollably, he also began to panic.

If this continued, Li Shengyuan might not be killed, but he himself would die first!

Initially, his expectation was to kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own, but if this continued, he himself would die.

Due to the blood sacrifice, he had an extremely close connection with the Blood God Spear, and he simply couldn't stop the Blood God Spear from drawing blood!

"Stop this instant!" Mu Yunxiao roared.

But upon encountering its sworn enemy, the Son of Heaven Sword, the Blood God Spear's eyes also turned red. For a thousand years, in the disputes between the Great Qian Imperial Family and the Demonic Cult, it had repeatedly lost to the Son of Heaven Sword.

This made its hostility towards the Son of Heaven Sword grow stronger and stronger. No matter the cost, it had to win once!

And ultimately, Mu Yunxiao had only asked it to act; he was not its master!

As the blood essence was absorbed, the blood light on the Blood God Spear grew fiercer.

At this time, due to the appearance of the Blood God Spear, the dense blood energy not only destroyed the three great killing formations besieging Mu Yunxiao but also broke the formation trapping Zhou Bing.

This also allowed Zhou Bing to finally break through the formation and escape.

Coming to Mu Yunxiao's side, Zhou Bing looked at him with a worried expression and said:

"Your Highness, how are you? What do you need me to do?"

"Zhou Bing..."

Mu Yunxiao's face was terrifyingly grim. He called out to him, looking at the Blood God Spear above his head, which was constantly drawing his blood essence, and his gaze flickered.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I do need your help..."

"Your Highness, please speak freely!"

"Relying solely on the Blood Puppet Venerable's blood essence, I cannot guarantee that the Blood God Spear can kill Li Shengyuan and avenge our fallen brothers, so I need more blood essence." Mu Yunxiao calmly regained his composure and slowly said.

Zhou Bing was slightly stunned, then his face changed drastically, "Your Highness, are you saying...?"

Mu Yunxiao was expressionless, his tone cold as he said: "That's right, I'll borrow your blood essence. I will definitely kill everyone here to be buried with you!"

Upon hearing Mu Yunxiao's words, Zhou Bing's face immediately turned pale with horror. He had followed Mu Yunxiao for a future, and although Mu Yunxiao had shown him great kindness, it wasn't enough to repay with his life.

"Your Highness..."

Having uttered these words, Zhou Bing froze in place, completely unable to move, a hint of terror appearing in his eyes.

"You... what did you do to me?!"

Mu Yunxiao, however, let out a long breath with a calm expression, "You were able to break through to the third-grade because of my help, so how could I not leave some control methods!"

"Just rest assured and go. I said I would have everyone here buried with you, and I will certainly keep my word!"

As soon as his voice fell, a blood light separated from the Blood God Spear and directly blasted the helpless Zhou Bing into a bloody mist, then absorbed all of it.

Stone Yifan and the Deputy Hall Master, who were not far away, instantly changed their expressions when they saw him so decisively kill his confidant.

First, the Blood Puppet Venerable was killed, then his confidant Zhou Bing. Would they be next?

The two wanted to flee the place, knowing full well that they would never survive in front of the Blood God Spear. These demonic cultivators were all terrifying, killing without batting an eyelid!

However, as soon as the two turned around, Ye Hangzhou and Yue Xiyan blocked their path...

Mu Yunxiao actually wanted to refine the two of them as well, but Li Shengyuan didn't give him the chance!

Or rather, the Son of Heaven Sword didn't give him the chance.

Before Li Shengyuan could swing his sword, the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand flew out on its own, pointing directly at the Blood God Spear.

"Go, Son of Heaven Sword, kill Mu Yunxiao, this Great Qian traitor!" Li Shengyuan roared.

Divine swords have spirits, even no less than an adult, otherwise, it wouldn't have been angered by Princess Pingyang's words.

Perhaps it confidently believed it could defeat the Blood God Spear and simultaneously kill Mu Yunxiao.

After all, it had battled the Blood God Spear many times over a thousand years and knew its capabilities.

The Blood God Spear also felt the Son of Heaven Sword's disdain. Having repeatedly lost to the Son of Heaven Sword for a thousand years, it was already unwilling, and now being underestimated further infuriated it.

After sucking Mu Yunxiao until he had only one breath left, it burst forth with a great blood light and met the Son of Heaven Sword!

At this instant, a tall and majestic figure appeared behind both quasi-divine artifacts.

One held a divine sword, and the other wielded a long spear, glaring at each other!

This scene stunned everyone!

Li Shengyuan stared blankly at the phantom holding the divine sword, and soon recalled who this person was, his eyes widening.

"This is... the High Ancestor Emperor of Great Qian?!"

A thousand years ago, the Da Qian Founding Emperor led his army to break through the capital of the former Great Yu Dynasty, wielding the Son of Heaven Sword and battling the last Yu Emperor in the capital!

He ultimately slew the last Yu Emperor, while the last Yu Emperor's magical artifact went missing...

This was a grand feat of the High Ancestor Emperor of Great Qian that his senior sister, the Empress, had told Li Shengyuan.

Now, the phantom holding the long spear was also clearly visible!

The last Yu Emperor!

Li Shengyuan wondered why these two phantoms appeared during the battle between the two quasi-divine artifacts, and whether this scene had also occurred during previous clashes between the two quasi-divine artifacts.

The phantom holding the divine sword turned its majestic gaze, sweeping across the world, finally looking at Mu Yunxiao and the last Yu Emperor's phantom.

Then, a voice filled with righteous aura spread into everyone's ears.

"The remnants of the tyrannical Yu Dynasty are once again causing chaos in the world; they must be slain!"

"Imperial bloodline colluding with remnants; they must be executed!"

As soon as the voice fell, the High Ancestor's phantom gripped the Son of Heaven Sword and slashed down towards the Blood God Spear!

The last Yu Emperor was not to be outdone, roaring furiously as he threw the long spear in his hand. A crimson streak of light tore through the sky, heading straight for the Son of Heaven Sword!

At this instant, it was like a cross-temporal duel between two peerless experts!

The moment the two collided, terrifying aftershocks instantly spread for several miles, annihilating the already dilapidated Giant Spirit Hall ruins into flat ground!

The High Ancestor's voice had already made everyone's faces pale and their eyes blurry. When the aftershocks swept through, even with the protection of the formation, many people still fainted on the spot. In an instant, very few people remained standing...

Stone Yifan and the Deputy Hall Master, who were confronting Ye Hangzhou and Yue Xiyan, even vomited blood, their faces filled with horror.

The already weak Mu Yunxiao stared blankly at the High Ancestor Emperor of Great Qian's phantom. He had seen too many portraits and sculptures of this person in the ancestral temple and ancestral hall. Was his ancestor here to judge him now?

The High Ancestor's voice of judgment made Mu Yunxiao become dazed...

Was he really wrong?

But... he was truly unwilling!

The next moment, Mu Yunxiao's consciousness completely dissipated; he had been completely absorbed by the losing Blood God Spear.

Thus, Prince Yan, Muyun Xiao, the generation's Northern Border War God, fell!
