Chapter 373 - Great Emperor Heartless vs Spirit Sovereign Yan (1/2)

Before he could receive power from Heaven, Heavenly General Zhenwu’s head was slashed off, ending his life.

His body was incredibly powerful, but it was a pity that it still could not defend against the sharpness of a Celestial Shaking grade legendary sword.

His Astral Spirit was unable to even escape.

In order to prevent anything unexpected from happening, Zhou Xuanji used the Six-path Sword Shadow and once again unleashed Soul-eater Slash, turning Heavenly General Zhenwu’s corpse into ash.

This process was incredibly quick and Zhou Xiaoxuan only saw a blur. Before she had made sense of what was happening, Heavenly General Zhenwu was no longer there.

Zhou Xuanji noticed her expression and looked down as he said with a laugh, “Don’t worry; with your father here, no one can harm you.”

After saying this, he walked slowly towards the other Heavenly Guards.

At this point in the battle, there were 17 Heavenly Guards left. They were so scared that their bodies trembled and quickly retreated.

Zhou Xuanji gave a clear laugh and said, “Tell Spirit Sovereign Yan that if anyone dares to come to Skyfall again, the one to die will be him!”

The Heavenly Guards did not dare to say anything in return and quickly left.

Following this, the great battle concluded.

Zhou Xuanji was not injured at all, and he had revealed his great might, showing everyone how powerful he was.

He put away all of his legendary swords and brought Zhou Xiaoxuan down.

All of the disciples all shouted the Sword Emperor’s name.

So powerful!

They had never seen such a powerful person before.

This was especially so for the new disciples—they were all incredibly excited, and they wanted to rush over to Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji looked around and found that the number of disciples had greatly increased. It seemed that Emperor Sword Court had not stopped developing while he was away, and he felt quite pleased seeing this.

“After this battle, I want to encourage you all to work hard and cultivate. The Way of the Sword can slay immortals and slaughter gods. I hope one day you all will be able to protect me.” Zhou Xuanji’s voice sounded throughout Skyfall, and hearing this, all of the disciples’ blood boiled.

I hope one day you all will be able to protect me!

That sentence was filed with charisma, and even the Odd Job Disciples felt a desire to even die for Zhou Xuanji.

If anyone else had said this, they would not care at all. However, Zhou Xuanji had shown just how powerful he was!

How could those who protected him be weak?

Zhou Xuanji brought Zhou Xiaoxuan over to Jiang Xue, and he gave a gentle smile as he said, “I’m sorry for making you wait for 13 years. Let’s talk after going up.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right arm and brought Jiang Xue into his embrace.

Zhou Xuanji turned into a ray of sword light with his wife and daughter in his arms, rushing up through the clouds. Xiao Jinghong, Lin Changge, and the others followed behind him.

Above the clouds, everyone gathered in a stone pavilion. Before anyone could ask about it, Zhou Xuanji started to talk about his experiences over the past few years.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise.

“So the Netherworld really does exist.”

“Master is so amazing; he even became friends with Magistrate Cui. In the future if we go down to the Netherworld, won’t we have an ally?”

“Hahaha, does that mean we don’t need to fear death?”

“You’re thinking too much, at most you’ll just get a good reincarnation.”

“Master really is the number one in the world now. You’re only 73 years old, not even 100.”

After bringing up Zhou Xuanji’s age, everyone could not help but shake their heads and sigh in amazement.

What a big blow to their egos!

Zhou Xiaoxuan stood behind Zhou Xuanji, feeling incredibly proud.

She also wanted to break through to Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal before she turned 100!

“In the next period of time, have the disciples stay within Skyfall as much as possible. However, don’t ban them completely—after all, heroes emerge in times of chaos, and everyone needs to take responsibility for themselves,” Zhou Xuanji said. Xiao Jinghong nodded—as Zhou Xuanji’s only disciple, he led all of the disciples. The others were in charge of other departments, such as the Xuanji Sword Library and Ten-thousand Swords House.
