I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3704: Chapter 1798: Emperor’s Battle (Part 3)

His existence is a miracle, a chance squeezed out forcibly from the impossible.

It was his youthful sword that tore open a corner of the cage built by the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor, allowing light to pour in, and hence the wild growth under the shade of the great tree.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But can a single tree, a patch of grass, truly stand against the world and these deities and buddhas on the Stairway to Heaven?

The thirsty sponge frantically absorbs the nutrients of the Phantom Swords Technique.

Xu Xiaoshou no longer wanted to think too much; he was in Phantom City, empathizing deeply, and frantically analyzing the core of Hua Changdeng’s sword, the Lord of Phantom City.

Along with the Three Swords of the Sword Demon—Body Ghost, Spirit Ghost, Intent Ghost—he was secretly learning.

His Body, Spirit, and Will were super-Taoized; he couldn’t create it himself, but he didn’t believe he couldn’t steal Hua Changdeng’s Three Swords of the Sword Demon.

What is stolen, of course, cannot be surpassed!

But Xu Xiaoshou wasn’t just about the Sword Demon; he was also delving into Bazhun’an’s Sword Me.

He deeply understood that only when the three Sword Demons and the two Sword Mes were incorporated under the Ming Sword Skill, even if Bazhun’an lost then, would he have the chance to surpass his master.

"Hm?"

On the Hundred Ghosts Altar, Hua Changdeng, peerless in ghost hunting, suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

He stopped his actions and made a gesture completely different from what was in Wurao’s memory—he looked towards the yellow soil!

"Xu Xiaoshou?"

With these words, Xu Xiaoshou knew he was exposed.

Bizarre Magic, Reversing Illusion to Reality, had the effect of Concealment from the sky and sea.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoshou’s Body, Spirit, and Will were all super-Taoized, pretending to be a clod of dirt was no problem at all.

But Hua Changdeng could see through it...

Expected, within reason!

This is no ordinary person; although in terms of Guidance of Intent, he might surpass him, how powerful is the perception of a Holy Emperor?

Being able to peep for so long, Bizarre Magic was highly effective, the Will Dao Disc’s indirect guidance was greatly useful, he had already profited!

By this time, Xu Xiaoshou no longer hid, sprang up, and transformed from a clod of yellow soil back to his original form:

"Haha, you found me, Sword Deity Hua, you are truly strong."

The wind roared, and in a frenzy, the clouds and wind stirred.

"There he is!"

In the distant place, came the voice of Yue Gongli.

Soon after Xu Xiaoshou appeared, two figures flew over in mid-air, indeed the white-clothed Hua Changdeng and the Hua-robed Yue Gongli.

"Xu Xiaoshou..."

Without another word, Hua Changdeng, pressing down the ghost hunter, was about to draw his sword.

Yue Gongli grabbed his arm, compared to the cold Hua Changdeng, he truly lived up to the fox name, expressing delight beyond bounds:

"Lord Shou?!"

His voice was full of surprise as if reuniting for the first time with an old friend after a long absence, eager to toast:

"Wasn’t the Stairway to Heaven cut off by You Yuan?"

"You actually managed to come up here, you’re stronger than the Elder Dao the Flamboyant!"

He glanced around, seeing no abnormalities, and seemingly no arrangements by Xu Xiaoshou.

Of course, Yue Gongli knew well that any arrangement was redundant before Hua Changdeng’s true self; after feigning decorum, he continued:

"Lord Shou, since we parted at the Divine Relics, it’s been half a year since we met. I missed you terribly."

"Coming this time to the Holy Emperor’s secret realm, yet you didn’t ascend to the Cold Palace Emperor Realm, nor came to Tingyu Pavilion to find me, depriving me of a chance to play the host..."

He seemed to have completely forgotten the process in Tingyu Pavilion of targeting the maid, targeting Yuegong Hui, and searching for Xu Xiaoshou.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Hua Changdeng, words sincere:

"Brother Hua, give me some face, let me first catch up with Lord Shou, any grievances between you can be discussed later."

"Of course, I’m not asking for your favor for free; if Lord Shou graces me with a visit to Tingyu Pavilion, I won’t take Wurao’s share of the Cold Palace Emperor Realm’s profits."

"In the future, if anything happens in Yunshan, a word is all it takes, I, Yue Gongli, am at your command!"

He didn’t seem to be joking.

Having said that, he pulled out a scroll of the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict from his sleeve, and directly tore it up in front of the two, leaving no room for backing out:

"Sealed with the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict, my words, Yue Gongli, are not empty, just to make a friend of Lord Shou, all I ask is for you, Hua Changdeng, to temporarily stand down once."

"Gentlemen, what do you think?"
