326: One sword cuts down the corrupt and turbid eunuch.

Zen Master Dajue's head exploded instantly; he was as dead as could be.

Seeing that Duan Zhengchun had killed Dajue despite everything, the newcomer was instantly filled with boundless rage.

Another sword strike was unleashed, and the first Sword Qi struck Duan Zhengchun's body directly.

Seeing his strike hit home, the newcomer was overjoyed.

Even an Earth Immortal Realm Master couldn't possibly withstand this blow of his.

"Clang..."

However, an unexpected result occurred in the next second.

The imagined outcome of being sliced in half didn't happen; instead, a massive sound rang out.

Duan Zhengchun stood there perfectly fine, without a single injury.

Moreover, the newcomer saw that Duan Zhengchun's entire skin had turned golden at this moment.

With the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and Duan Zhengchun's current Realm, even a full-power strike from the Earth Immortal Realm might not necessarily hurt him, let alone an opponent who was only in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Duan Zhengchun turned to look at the newcomer, an old man wearing eunuch's attire.

His heart stirred as he vaguely guessed the other's identity.

The Imperial Grand Eunuch Turbid Clarity, a man who had always been very confident and had challenged Eternal Life Li many times, only to be utterly humiliated every single time.

He hadn't expected him to come here; it seemed he was a helper invited by Dajue.

Unfortunately, never mind the Heavenly Human Realm, even if an Earth Immortal arrived, it would be useless; they still wouldn't be able to save him.

"Heh, are you the helper Dajue invited?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Turbid Clarity with a playful expression.

"You are the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun?" Turbid Clarity looked at Duan Zhengchun with a gloomy Face.

He had already told Duan Zhengchun to stop just now, but Duan Zhengchun still killed Dajue, making him feel like he had lost a lot of Face.

"That's right, it is indeed this Prince."

"Now, let's talk about the matter between us. You swung your sword at me just now; now, as a matter of courtesy, this Prince will also give you a sword strike."

"As for whether you can withstand it, that depends on your luck." After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he didn't give Turbid Clarity a chance to explain and struck directly.

He reached out towards the sky with one hand, and instantly, the clouds in the entire sky shifted.

"One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate."

As his voice fell, a giant sword pierced through the clouds and descended toward Turbid Clarity.

The moment this giant sword appeared, Turbid Clarity felt a life-and-death crisis. He wanted to dodge, but to his horror, he found he couldn't.

When this sword appeared, it had already locked onto the space around him; no matter where he tried to hide, he couldn't escape this strike.

Feeling the aura of death brought by this sword, Turbid Clarity's hair stood on end, and a chill rushed from his tailbone straight to the back of his head.

His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

He couldn't block it; he couldn't block this strike.

If he couldn't block it, he would die.

At this moment, Turbid Clarity felt the aura of death.

"No, I surrender, I surrender..." Turbid Clarity couldn't help but scream.

He didn't want to die yet; he could feel that he would die when this sword came down.

At this time, he was already cursing eighteen generations of Dajue's ancestors in his heart.

He shouldn't have come; now look, he didn't save the person and even got himself dragged into it.

"Heh, from the moment you struck at this Prince, your fate was already sealed."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck and overconfidence, always thinking you were invincible because of your status and strength."

"In this Prince's eyes, there is no one in this Nine Provinces Continent who cannot be killed. Never mind that you're just a Seal-holding Grand Eunuch, even if it were the Emperor, if he dared to strike at this Prince, this Prince would kill him all the same." Duan Zhengchun's tone was cold and domineering, leaving no room for negotiation.

"You, you can't kill me! I am Northern Li's Seal-holding Grand Eunuch. If you kill me, it will be like slapping the Northern Li Royal Family in the Face, and it will mean going to war with Northern Li. You must think carefully!" Turbid Clarity roared anxiously.

"Heh, are you finished? If you're finished, you can be on your way."

Duan Zhengchun waved his hand, and instantly, the giant sword fell directly.

Turbid Clarity didn't expect that even after he had revealed his identity and explained the stakes, Duan Zhengchun would still dare to kill him.

He didn't have time to think and immediately circulated all his Internal Energy, desperately using his strongest attack, hoping to block this sword.

However, never mind that he was only a Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artist, even an Earth Immortal Realm Master wouldn't dare to take this Perfection-level One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate head-on.

It was clear what the result would be for Turbid Clarity's strength in the Face of this sword.

"Pfft..."

As the sword fell, Turbid Clarity's entire body stiffened. A bloody line appeared at his brow, and his eyes looked at Duan Zhengchun with disbelief.

Then, the blood line suddenly split open, and blood sprayed out wildly.

Turbid Clarity's body was split directly into two halves. Just like that, grand eunuch Turbid Clarity, one of the Five Grand Eunuchs beside the Emperor of Bei Li, was sliced in half by a single sword.

"Heh, I really don't know where you got your confidence from. A mere Heavenly Human Realm, yet you dare to provoke the Earth Immortal Realm." Duan Zhengchun looked at Turbid Clarity, who had been cut in two.

By now, the monks of Nine Dragons Temple had been so frightened by Duan Zhengchun's methods that they collapsed to the ground.

"This is the consequence of daring to provoke me, Duan Zhengchun."

"I, Duan Zhengchun, am not an unreasonable person. You'd better honestly be monks. If you dare to interfere in secular affairs again, I will send you all to see your Buddha."

"Since you've become monks, then honestly be monks and don't come out to disgust people." After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he casually swung his sword.

Instantly, the entire Nine Dragons Temple was split in half by the sword, leaving a massive chasm in the middle.

After doing all this, Duan Zhengchun left directly.

The news of Zen Master Dajue of Nine Dragons Temple being killed, as well as grand eunuch Turbid Clarity of Northern Li's Five Grand Eunuchs being killed at Nine Dragons Temple, soon spread throughout Northern Li.

Duan Zhengchun used Teleportation to begin his return journey. At this time, it was estimated that the Jin Kingdom's army was almost at the border of the Kingdom.

He was rushing back now, and with the speed of Teleportation, it shouldn't take much time.

Duan Zhengchun was gone, but Northern Li was in an uproar.

In the Northern Li Imperial Palace, Emperor Taian's Face instantly turned furious as he listened to the guard's report.

"Presumptuous..."

Emperor Taian roared and shattered the desk beside him with a palm strike.

"A mere Prince of Zhennan of Dali dares to kill the Seal-holding Grand Eunuch by My side?"

"This is clearly not putting Me in his eyes. Someone, notify the leader of the Dark River. Hunt down and kill Duan Zhengchun with full force. Whoever dares to stop you, kill them without mercy!" Emperor Taian said angrily.

"Yes..."

For a time, the entire Jianghu became filled with undercurrents.

Duan Zhengchun didn't know about any of this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Just the Dark River... he didn't even take them seriously... At the border of the Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered, and the leader was none other than the Great General Zhenyuan of the Jin Kingdom.

On the Kingdom side, it was Duan Zhengchun's Four Great Guards: Zhu Danchen, Chu Wanli, Fu Sigui, and Gu Ducheng. Beside them was the Western Xia army led by Iron Tree Helian of the Western Xia's First Class Hall.

They had come to support the Kingdom side upon receiving Li Qiushui's orders.

The Kingdom and Western Xia together had an army of two hundred thousand, while the Jin Kingdom, although claiming to have a million-strong army this time, did not actually have that many.

However, there were still four hundred thousand troops.

Looking at the Jin Kingdom's army, which was two hundred thousand more than their own, Iron Tree Helian's expression became solemn, and Zhu Danchen's Face was also filled with gravity.
