Chapter 828: Chapter 372: When Death Approaches, All Taboos Are Lifted (Part 2)

This Divine Technique uses the form as an introduction, transforming the finite into the infinite, breaking through the boundaries of form and spirit, ultimately reaching the realm of "holding no sword in hand, yet having all things as swords, and all methods can become the Way".

Where the Sword Point passes, True Qi condenses into tangible Sword Gang, capable of cutting everything, each move subtly aligning with the rhythms of heaven and earth, the Sword Technique surging like a river, endlessly.

Herod widened his eyes, shielding himself with the Xuanyuan Sword, trying to block Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Point.

The moment the Sword Point met the blade, time seemed to freeze.

Crack~

First, a crack appeared on the Xuanyuan Sword, then on Herod’s body, and finally in the surrounding space. Like a mirror shattering, everything silently fractured.

"This is your... Infinite Swordsmanship..."

Herod murmured, his body transforming into numerous points of light and disappearing, swallowed by time past.

Ye Qingzhou could no longer hold on and fell from the air.

He lay on his back, looking at the blue sky, feeling his life rushing away. The Laws Destruction Golden Arrow had already fully pierced his heart, the laws of the Path of Death devouring his final vitality.

"Three days left..."

Ye Qingzhou softly muttered, calmly stating the date of his death.

Raising a hand, the Five Great Divine Weapons flew back to him automatically; holding his chest, the passing of his vitality finally slowed slightly.

"Ye... Qingzhou..."

A broken voice came intermittently to his ear, surprisingly, the communicator on his combat armor still worked.

"Old Gu?"

Ye Qingzhou recognized it as the voice of Gu Minghui.

"Where are you?"

"What you should be asking is where am I planning to go?"

"..."

Gu Minghui, well aware of Ye Qingzhou’s vengeful nature, did not try to persuade him but instead was concerned about his condition: "Are you okay?"

"I’m about to die."

"How is that possible?"

"Laws Destruction Golden Arrow."

No need for more words, just these four characters sufficed to explain everything.

To Gu Minghui, the fact that Ye Qingzhou was not yet dead was already a miracle.

"I have three days, don’t stand in my way. If gods block, I kill gods; if Buddhas block, I kill Buddhas. The Yan Family is doomed."

"..."

On the verge of death, nothing is forbidden.

A Martial Saint with the power of a Celestial King Martial God, who can stop him when he is about to die?

Unless the Yan Family could enlist the help of War Emperor Chiyou, which Gu Minghui doubted, otherwise, they would not have dared to make such a dangerous move against Ye Qingzhou’s Earth Essence Pill.

Gu Minghui reminded, "The Yan Family will surely seek aid from the Central Guard Team, among the Southern Dipper Stars. I won’t take action, but others might."

"So?"

"Could you spare them, for my sake?"

"Fine."

Ye Qingzhou was sparing with words.

......

The sunset, as red as blood, shone upon the majestic residence of the Jiangnan Yan Family,

the vermilion doors tightly closed, unable to hide the surging killing intent within.

Yan Feiping’s eyes flashed coldly, standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, fingertips caressing the blood-red longbow, the legendary Sun-Shooting Divine Bow that once shot down nine suns.

"Father, will Ye Qingzhou... really die?"

Yan Qingqing stood by his side, lips slightly pursed, her eyes full of both anticipation and a hint of unease.

"Humph, no matter how exceptional his talents are, he ultimately cannot oppose the power of the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow, let alone..."

Yan Feiping sneered, "With the Fire Thief Herod from the Celestial Sword Bureau and the Giant Beast Hagrid joining forces, he is certainly doomed!"

Once Ye Qingzhou dies, we can obtain the Earth Essence Pill, and thereby, he can bring his gravely ill father, Yan Gushu, back to life!

The Yan Family would once again rise to the pinnacle of power!

"Father!!!"

Urgent footsteps approached, and the eldest son, Yan Zhilin, staggered in, his face pale, eyes full of fear.

"Father! Ye Qingzhou... is not dead!"

"What?!"

Yan Feiping’s pupils shrunk, fists clenching tightly, knuckles turning white.

"Impossible!"

Yan Qingqing exclaimed, "Once the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow is unleashed, even a Celestial King Martial God cannot escape death. How could he possibly..."

Yan Zhilin, his voice trembling, said, "He... he used a swordsmanship never seen before, Sword Qi as deep as an abyss, and somehow delayed the destructive power of the golden arrow for several days!"

"Even the arrival of the Path of Death could be delayed?!"

Yan Feiping felt a tremendous shock in his heart, an unprecedented chill climbing up his spine.

At that moment, above the Yan Family residence, a graceful figure walked through the air, without a sword in hand, yet it seemed as if the whole world was his sword.

"Yan Feiping-"

Ye Qingzhou’s voice was calm, yet as thunderous as ten thousand bolts of lightning, causing the entire Yan Family mansion to tremble.

"Since you dare to scheme against me, you shall prepare for the inevitable death." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He gently raised his hand, lightly drawing with his fingertips.

"Destroy."

Boom~

The entire Yan Family mansion, under endless sword qi, vanished into dust.

Ye Qingzhou buried the Yan Family with one sword, the sword qi hadn’t dissipated, and the fierce sword intent still reverberated between heaven and earth.

Suddenly...

Boom~ Boom~

Two dazzling beams of starlight fell from the sky, like a reversed heavenly river, forcibly tearing open a fissure upon the ruins!

From the smoke and dust stepped out two towering figures.

"Southern Dipper Caring Star, ordered to protect the path."

"Southern Dipper Celestial Pillar, asking you to cease your stroke."

Amidst the starlight appeared two figures.

One donned a white robe and star crown, holding a jade scroll.

The other wore profound armor and heavy armor, carrying a celestial measuring ruler on his shoulder.

These two were the Celestial Generals of the Southern Dipper, the Caring Star and Celestial Pillar.

Ye Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, "Southern Dipper Nourishing Life, is today also to be a master of killing?"

The Caring Star turned the jade scroll, "Yan Gushu is the leader of the Coexistence Faction, his life and death affect the nation’s fortune. Sword Saint Ye, please leave."

Celestial Tier Martial Technique, Measuring Mountains and Rivers.

The Celestial Pillar was the first to strike, the celestial measuring ruler drawing across the sky.

The earth unfolded like a scroll, mountains and rivers overturned, spatial laws distorted, trapping Ye Qingzhou within the world of the ruler, three thousand strands of Earth Vein Dragon Qi transformed into chains, binding the swordsman.

"Quite the ’Measuring Mountains and Rivers’, worthy of this move."

Ye Qingzhou formed a sword with his fingers, softly chanting, "Infinite Swordsmanship, Second Style..."

The sword qi surged, yet upon touching the celestial measuring ruler, it was like a mud ox entering the sea.

The Celestial Pillar sneered, "This ruler measures the fate of Dongji Kingdom, how could a mere sword break it?"

Simultaneously, the Caring Star unfolded the jade scroll, his vermilion brush sweeping, ink transforming into the word "death" pressing down.

Ye Qingzhou’s temples suddenly grew white hair, the sword qi around him depleting along with his lifespan.

"Southern Dipper Nourishing Life, can also diminish lifespan."

The Caring Star sighed, "Lord Celestial Sword, why must you..."

Before his words finished, suddenly Ye Qingzhou’s lips bled, yet he was smiling, slowly uttering two words, "Eternal."

A soft whisper, the celestial measuring ruler suddenly trembled violently.

The Celestial Pillar was horrified to find cracks appearing in the world inside the ruler, each crack a sword mark, within the sword marks grew a new world.

"Using the ruler as a boundary?" Ye Qingzhou wiped away the blood, "I shall use my sword to cleave the heavens and earth!"

Zheng~

Infinite Swordsmanship, Second Style, Eternal!

The Extreme Sword is the epitome of sword techniques, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.

Eternal is to enter the finite from the infinite, with a swing of the sword breaking through spatial constraints, the sword intent permeating every space.

Once this sword is unleashed, Ye Qingzhou’s slash can traverse spatial distances, reflecting thousands of sword lights in the ripples of space fluctuations, each swing of the sword seems to have a thousand virtual shadows simultaneously initiating a space refraction, every strike directly hits the target, leaving the enemy defenseless.

The celestial measuring ruler exploded, the Celestial Pillar retreated with sword qi piercing his chest.

Meanwhile, the "death" word on the Caring Star’s jade scroll was forcibly changed to "life" by newborn sword qi, countering back.

The Caring Star staggered to his knees, looking at the shattered jade scroll with a bitter smile, "What an Infinite Sword Saint, no wonder before coming, the Celestial Secret said we couldn’t beat you."

Ye Qingzhou stepped through the remnants of the starlight, suddenly hearing the Celestial Pillar roar behind him, "Do you know if Yan Gushu dies, the world will..."

Sword light flashed, the echo was cut off.

Only a faint response drifted in the night wind, "My sword only asks of my heart, not the world."

Ye Qingzhou took a step, the sword qi around him erupted like a torrent, piercing through the entire Star Map Grand Array with one sword!

The Caring Star groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, while the Celestial Pillar roared, swinging the celestial measuring ruler at Ye Qingzhou’s back, yet was fended off by Ye Qingzhou with a flick of his finger, causing his tiger’s mouth to crack, blood flowing.

Of the Southern Dipper Six Stars, Celestial Secret is the foremost.

Today Gu Minghui did not show up, relying solely on the Caring Star and Celestial Pillar couldn’t even stop Ye Qingzhou’s advance, after only a brief encounter, they were defeated.

"For the sake of Gu Minghui, I won’t kill you."

Ye Qingzhou didn’t even look at the two, turning to enter the ruins of the Yan Family, as he could sense that Yan Feiping and others were not dead, but had hidden in a bunker.
