Shen Xiliu who appeared out of thin air had a completely different temperament from that time on Black Cloud Mountain. She didn't have any food in her hands, and even her expression was completely different from that time..

Jin Xinglan was shocked when she sensed the Dao fluctuations coming from Shen Xi Liu. She quickly attacked and turned into a long rainbow towards Zaoji, who was already frozen. Zaoji was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as the divine sword stabbed towards her..

Everyone thought Zaoji was dead except Shen Xiliu..

Shen Xi Liu stretched out her right hand and grabbed at the void in Zao Ji's direction. Zao Ji and Li Boqian disappeared into thin air, and in the next moment, they appeared in front of Shen Xi Liu..

Chao Tianque's attack missed and landed on the ground. Countless tiles shattered and pieces of bricks flew in all directions. Everyone stepped forward to block it..

As the dust dispersed, a huge pit appeared where Zaoji was originally standing. Chaotian Que had already flown back into Jin Xinglan's hands..

Jin Xinglan's face was solemn. She held her sword and looked at Shen Xiliu." I am Jin Xinglan from the Absolute Beginning Realm. May I know who you are? Why are you here today?" Shen Xiliu sneered." I, Shen Xiliu, have been entrusted by someone to help Fellow Daoist Qinghe!"" Carefree Sage Shen Xiliu? Senior is a saint of the Central Plains. Why would you help these barbarians?" Jin Xinglan said in surprise. Shen Xiliu was far from what was rumored..

Shen Xiliu stepped lightly on the ground and floated into the air. She confronted Jin Xinglan and said," There's no point in talking too much. With the support of this array, my young friend already possesses the strength of the Dao Transformation Realm. I'm here to teach you some tricks!" As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xiliu transformed her palm into a saber and slashed forward. A huge invisible blade slashed towards Jin Xinglan. Wherever the blade touched, space distorted..

Jin Xinglan did not dare to be careless in the face of the Saint's attack. He immediately activated the Heaven Gate and collided with the invisible blade..

With the support of the formation, Jin Xinglan had no difficulty in blocking this attack. However, he knew that with his own strength, he would risk death if he took a casual attack from a Saint. Although there was only one step between a quasi-Saint and a Saint, the difference was like clouds and mud..

After Jin Xinglan blocked the invisible blade, Shen Xiliu disappeared. Jin Xinglan was shocked and a strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of her heart..

Shen Xiliu appeared behind Jin Xinglan at this moment. Jin Xinglan's current Dao Transformation Realm insight was unable to capture his movements..

Shen Xiliu took advantage of Jin Xinglan's unpreparedness and struck him on the back. The power of the palm shattered space! In the eyes of the spectators on the ground, the entire area where Jin Xinglan was located collapsed..

" Mountains and rivers protect the country!" Jin Xinglan shouted loudly. A Mountain and River Diagram appeared around his body, isolating Shen Xiliu's Sky Breaking Palm from him..

After blocking this attack, Jin Xinglan turned around and slashed towards the sky. The sword light of the sky was sharp and seemed to have the power to cut through everything..

Amidst the exclamations of the spectators on the ground, Chao Tianque had actually split Shen Xi Liu's sword in half. A Saint had been killed just like that? Jin Xinglan was not happy at all when she saw this scene. Shen Xi Liu's body, which had been split in half, gradually disappeared into the air. Only Shen Xi Liu's afterimage was cut off! The next moment, Shen Xiliu appeared in front of the eight swordsmen who were forming the formation. At this moment, the eight swordsmen were motionless. Under each of their feet was a painting of mountains and rivers. Together with the painting of mountains and rivers on the ground where Jin Xinglan was previously, it formed a complete picture..

People from the Central Plains who have some eyesight will know when they see this picture that this represents Jiuzhou in the Central Plains..

The Taichu Nine Swords Formation was a formation created by the founding figures of the Taichu Dynasty who extracted the power of the Nine States. This formation could mobilize the power of the Nine States for their own use. At its peak, no one could defeat it. It was the Taichu National Defense Formation! Although the Nine Swords Formation of Absolute Beginning could allow Jin Xinglan to temporarily step into the Dao Transformation Realm, due to the decline of Absolute Beginning, only Yingzhou was still in Absolute Beginning's hands. Only Yingzhou, represented by Jin Xinglan, was still shining brightly under everyone's feet. The other eight provinces were extremely dim. The power of the formation could not be compared to when Absolute Beginning was strong..

To a certain extent, the Nine Swords Formation of Absolute Beginning was activated by the power of Absolute Beginning..

With just a glance, Shen Xiliu could tell how extraordinary the Taichu Nine Swords Formation was. A trace of admiration flashed across his eyes as he said," The Taichu sages are indeed brilliant. As expected of the Taichu Dynasty that once unified the Central Plains!" Jin Xinglan saw Shen Xiliu change her position thoughtfully again and said,""It seems that Senior Shen isn't fast, but moves directly across space. In addition, every time Senior attacks, there are spatial fluctuations. If I'm not wrong, Senior should have mastered the Dao of Space..

Shen Xiliu looked up at Jin Xinglan and smiled." You have good eyesight. My Dao is the Dao of Space. Let me see if my Dao of Space can defeat this Absolute Beginning Nine Swords Formation!" Shen Xiliu's hands began to move as he spoke. The spatial power in his palms was strong, and the surrounding space began to distort. He kept striking out his palms at the eight swordsmen supporting the formation..

Jin Xinglan did not panic when she saw this. A painting of mountains and rivers that was more solid than Jin Xinglan's previous protection appeared on the array formation. Shen Xiliu's spatial palm power caused ripples on it and dissipated without causing any damage to the people in the middle..

Just as Shen Xiliu was stunned, Jin Xinglan reached out with her sword. Shen Xiliu retracted his palms and used his palms to transform into a saber to collide with Jin Xinglan's Sky Palace..

Seeing this, the surrounding Qinghe experts retreated one after another. The unconscious Donglin He was also carried away by Nanzhe Mu. They were afraid that they would be affected by the aftershocks of the Saint battle..

As the two continued to fight, Jin Xinglan's aura gradually weakened. Even the Mountain River Diagram of Yingzhou in the array formation dimmed..

Shen Xiliu smiled and said," The Absolute Beginning Nine Swords Formation is indeed powerful, but Absolute Beginning only owns one province now. The power of the mountains and rivers it can mobilize is limited. Plus, you are not a true Dao Transformation Stage cultivator. You cannot defeat me with just the formation alone!" Jin Xinglan naturally knew about this, but since things had come to this, he could only give it his all..

His eyes revealed determination as he flew up into the air once again. Shen Xi Liu did not chase after him, but stood proudly where she was, as if she wanted to see what kind of tricks he had up his sleeve..

Jin Xinglan was not affected by Shen Xiliu's attitude. He floated in the air with a solemn expression. After adjusting his breathing, he quietly closed his eyes..

When he closed his eyes, a gust of wind blew past his wrinkled but still handsome face. Then a strong wind blew, and the clouds changed color. The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and there was a faint flash of lightning in the sky..

Jin Xinglan opened her eyes. At this moment, there was a blood-red light in his eyes. He seemed to have become the protagonist of the world, turning into the brightest star in the dark night..

Chaotianque floated quietly in front of him. Jin Xinglan muttered sadly," Chaotianque, you have been with me for 25 years. After today, there will be no Jin Xinglan in the world. I hope your next master will not let you dust!" Chaotianque seemed to have some intelligence. Jin Xinglan smiled gratefully and said," You don't seem to want to part with me. It seems that I have done a good job as a master. It is my honor to fight alongside you in this life..

Jin Xinglan looked down at the ruined Taichu Palace. This was the place he had guarded for half his life. Was it worth it for that stupid emperor? Obviously, it was not worth it..

However, Jin Xinglan had never guarded the Taichu Emperor, but the once unparalleled Taichu Dynasty..

For some reason, a scene from his childhood appeared before Jin Xinglan's eyes..

"What's your name?" asked the leader of a group of boys surrounding another boy who looked thin and quiet.

" My name is Jin Xinglan. Can I play with you guys?" Wen Jing asked shyly..

The little boy in the lead laughed and said," Your name is Xinglan? It sounds like a girl's name. Isn't it embarrassing to take a girl's name?" Little Xinglan's face flushed red, but he, who was reserved, could not say anything at this moment..

" Jin Xinglan is a girl!"" We men don't play with girls!"" What girl? I think he's just a guy who isn't a boy!" The group of boys ignored Little Xinglan and shouted all kinds of embarrassing words to Jin Xinglan before running away, leaving Little Xinglan crying on her own..

Little Star Orchid cried more and more fiercely, until a long time later stopped crying, he did not return home, sensible little star orchid do not want to let parents worry.

However, after crying for so long, her eyes were swollen. Xing Lan Niang quickly asked Little Xing Lan what had happened. Little Xing Lan didn't want to say it, but in the end, she couldn't convince his mother. She told her mother what had happened today. As she said it, tears flowed down her face..

Xing Lan Niang wiped away his tears and hugged him gently." Xing Lan, a gentleman among orchid flowers is not a name unique to girls. Don't care what others say in the future. As long as you are yourself and be useful to our Taichu Dynasty, no one will dare to laugh at your name!" Little Xing Lan nodded firmly and stopped crying..

From then on, Jin Xinglan practiced sword hard and had many fortuitous encounters. After he became famous, no one laughed at his name anymore..

Jin Xinglan retracted her thoughts. He tightly held onto the Chaotianque that was floating in front of him and pointed his sword at Saint Shen Xiliu. His gaze was firm as he said," Senior Shen, so what if you are a saint? Today, I will let you, a saint, experience the way of a gentleman that belongs to Lan!".

After Jin Xinglan finished speaking, his aura also rose to the extreme. However, he did not know whether the orchid he was talking about was the flower or himself, or both..

Shen Xiliu's expression was grave at this moment. Clearly, Jin Xinglan's aura had also put pressure on him. He grabbed at the void and reached his right hand into the void. A saber was pulled out from the void by him..

The space around this saber is extremely chaotic. I don't know if it's Shen Xi Liu's method or this saber has something special..

Shen Xiliu stood with her saber. She looked up at Jin Xinglan and said," This saber is called Piercing Space. I want to test your skills..

" Taichu Sword Guard, lend me your sword!" Jin Xinglan shouted. The eight swordsmen supporting the formation threw their swords into the air at the same time. Eight swords of different shapes rose into the sky and floated behind Jin Xinglan..

" Ladies and gentlemen, today's Saint is here. We can only fight with our lives. Do you dare to die with me?" Jin Xinglan loosened her grip on Chaotian Que and used her other hand to control the eight swords on his back. He crossed his hands and made a sword gesture. The eight swords circled around Chaotian Que very meekly and slowly rotated..

" Why not?!" The eight grandmaster swordsmen shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky..

" One sword will settle the kingdom!" Jin Xinglan transformed her fingers into swords. The nine swords moved with her fingers, drawing a dazzling arc in the air. Then, he pointed at Shen Xiliu. The nine swords cut through the void and headed straight for Shen Xiliu..

Shen Xi Liu laughed coldly. He was about to use the Dao of Space to change his position when his laughter stopped in the next moment..

Shen Xiliu realized that Jin Xinglan's sword moves had completely locked onto him. As a Saint, he would not be restricted from moving, but he could not use the Dao of Space to dodge. He could only take the sword moves head-on..

Shen Xi Liu snorted coldly. Holding the Sky Piercing Saber tightly in one hand, she slashed out to meet the nine swords flying towards her..

Space power collided violently with the might of mountains and rivers, and the rumbling continued..

In the end, Shen Xiliu's skills were better. The nine swords were knocked away by the saber light carrying the power of space. Jin Xinglan waved her hand and the nine swords floated beside him again..

Jin Xinglan's attack did not succeed, nor was she discouraged. He pointed at the sky and nine swords rose into the sky. He formed a seal with both hands and shouted sternly," One sword shakes the universe!" The nine swords fell from the sky and arranged themselves in a strange formation. Each sword hummed and attacked Shen Xi Liu again. A shaking force spread out, and the world shook along with it..

Shen Xi Liu's expression became even more serious. Although the sword move just now did not pose a threat to him, the space was locked down, preventing him from using the spatial displacement technique. This time, he held the saber with both hands, and the spatial power was strong. He kept swinging the saber and fighting the nine swords..

This time, even if the nine swords were deflected, they would join the attack again. After a long confrontation, Shen Xiliu once again gained the upper hand in the confrontation. The nine swords were once again withdrawn by Jin Xinglan..

Even Shen Xi Liu, who was a Saint, felt tired and her aura was a little chaotic after such a nonstop attack..

Jin Xinglan's face was pale as if she had lost all her strength..

" Senior Shen, I still have one more sword. Let's end it with this sword!" Jin Xinglan laughed loudly. However, his eyes were filled with sadness. Even if he risked his life and injured a saint, the Taichu Palace would still be disappointed..

Jin Xinglan reached out and grabbed the Skyward Gate. Her aura soared once again. The eight swordsmen supporting the sword formation seemed to have been drained of their strength. They could not even stand up and fell to the ground one after another..

Behind Jin Xinglan, the phantom images of the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains appeared, of which Yingzhou was the clearest..

" One sword strike to break the mountains and rivers!" As Jin Xinglan spoke, the phantom of the mountains and rivers suddenly shattered and turned into a stream of light that poured into the Heavenly Palace. Jin Xinglan descended from the sky, and eight swords surrounded the Heavenly Palace and stabbed Shen Xiliu. At this moment, Jin Xinglan was like a sword god descending into the world..
