Gaozu Offers Up the Sword

"You are not my descendant, you are a thief!"

Amidst the rising golden light of fortune in Fengxize, Emperor Gaozu finally discovered the problem.

Zhang Xuezhou talked about the nation, and his words were full of contradictions in dynastic rule. He sounded just like an emperor who was worried about the Great Han Dynasty, but Zhang Xuezhou was not an emperor of the Great Han.

Emperor Gaozu even sensed a familiar aura emanating from the other party.

If the person opposite is not a descendant of the Liu family, then it can only be a thief who practices magic.

Although he spoke eloquently and didn't care how many emperors died in the Great Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu never intended for outsiders to seize power and kill the emperor.

If it's the latter case, all his scheming and actions would have been for naught, how could he be content with that?

"Hey, stay here!"

With a loud shout, Emperor Gaozu transformed into a golden dragon.

His gaze fell upon countless stars that seemed to drift further and further away.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Countless arowanas made a noisy noise, and each arowana's reflection was mirrored on its body.

The golden dragon plunged into the Milky Way of the dragonfish, stirring up countless bubbles among the dragonfish.

The bubble shattered, and rays of golden light shone through.

"How dare you cause trouble right under my nose! You've swallowed the very essence of my Great Han Dynasty; you'll have to spit it all out!"

The golden dragon roared, Zhang Xuezhou felt a pang of regret.

On the one hand, the dragonfish's form has never driven evolution, and Zhang Xuezhou doesn't know whether it's due to insufficient luck or the dragonfish lacking the possibility of evolution.

On the other hand, Emperor Gaozu was not easily fooled; his talent for rhetoric was still lacking.

However, Zhang Xuezhou did not panic when he encountered Emperor Gaozu's magical attack, because he knew very well how to deal with Emperor Gaozu.

Emperor Gaozu appeared to be powerful and invincible, but his opponent had been dead for many years and was only being guided by a wisp of his remnant soul.

When the physical foundation is gone, the abilities one can exert will lack sustainability.

Zhang Xuezhou, in his dragonfish form, excels at prolonged battles.

He's currently hiding and on the run, but his advantage is undeniable.

"Speak up! Why are you silent? Why won't you discuss ruling the world with me?"

Amidst the shattered shadows of the dragonfish, the golden dragon, transformed from the Gaozu Emperor, swam back and forth, shattering countless dragonfish, but all was like a dream, a bubble.

He couldn't tell which dragonfish was real, so he couldn't kill his opponent.

As Zhang Xuezhou guessed, his powerful state was not continuous, but rather limited to a limited number of uses.

Emperor Gaozu clearly did not want to waste his time on useless pursuits, so he began to use reverse psychology to entice him.

"I smell your scent; I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before!"

Emperor Gaozu roared, and the enormous golden dragon continued to swim around, but did not choose to kill the dragonfish on a large scale again.

Everything disappointed Emperor Gaozu. Wandering among the endless dragonfish, he felt as if he were facing not dragonfish, but a vast ocean.

The ocean is boundless, but it also harbors unseen and dangerous adversaries.

This is an extremely sophisticated state of skill, and Emperor Gaozu could even sense the unstoppable power that would emerge once this state of skill matured.

Emperor Gaozu had assumed that the descendants were exceptionally talented, never imagining that they were actually of foreign origin.

The other party might be a lucky thief who stole the opportunity, or perhaps the white dragon he suppressed was a different species, which is why it possessed a form different from the Emperor Dragon.

"If you come out obediently right now and return the corrupted fortune to the Great Han Dynasty, I might spare your life!"

"Once I unleash my true power, all your illusory forms will turn into a stagnant pool of foam!"

"In the face of absolute power, tricks are nothing but a laughingstock!"

Emperor Gaozu roared, and the golden dragon's body roamed in all directions, hoping to find Zhang Xuezhou's true form directly.

Zhang Xuezhou gave no response, but the number of wandering dragonfish increased and became more and more dense, so dense that even Emperor Gaozu felt his scalp tingle.

The greater the energy, the stronger it will be when it matures and transforms.

The other party was clearly also using the White Dragon's fortune to achieve their own success, but this was the fortune he left for the Great Han Dynasty to continue for a long time, and it shouldn't be the other party who enjoyed the benefits.

Emperor Gaozu even began to think that the westward shift of the auspicious energy might not necessarily be a bad thing.

But he was truly helpless against such an opponent.

As long as you are in a place where fortune is rising, the opponent has an almost endless supply of dragonfish, and no matter how many you kill, it is just a repetitive and useless effort.

However, his strength and time are both limited.

As time passed, Emperor Gaozu felt a growing sense of urgency.

This was a rare moment of helplessness in his life.

"This emperor has actually revived the Red Empyrean Sword!"

Having exhausted all his own methods, he began to try other approaches.

When a familiar feeling arose in his heart, Emperor Gaozu's golden dragon body trembled with excitement.

He previously felt that the current emperors of the Great Han Dynasty were incompetent, for allowing thieves like Zhang Xuezhou to exist.

But as long as the Red Empyrean Sword can be used, this emperor will continue along the path he once walked, thus defeating all demons and monsters.

Emperor Gaozu did not trust the emperors of this generation, but he trusted the imperial sword Chixiao, which had accompanied him through his childhood.

"Sword, come!"

He shouted, and a faint phantom of a sword light appeared amidst the countless dragonfish.

"What?"

Zhang Xuezhou had been keeping silent and stalling for time, suddenly had a jolt in his eyes.

The sword held in the dragon's mouth by Emperor Gaozu had a very faint light, looking like a broken sword, but as long as it could kill, its appearance was not a standard.

Zhang Xuezhou was very familiar with this sword.

He even assisted Emperor Jing in using a sword to kill the King of Liang.

That was a sword strike that seemed to have no rhyme or reason, and Zhang Xuezhou still cannot decipher it.

If he were to be struck by a sword, Zhang Xuezhou had no doubt about the fate he would face.

"Damn it, it must be the Essence Blood of the Jinghe Dragon King that helped His Majesty unseal the Red Empyrean Sword. This is the Essence Blood I gave away!"

Zhang Xuezhou had done various things before, but he never expected the boomerang to spin so fast, or even hit him so accurately.

"You have drawn the Red Empyrean Sword against me; His Majesty will no longer be able to use the Crimson Sky Sword!"

Feeling the subtle sense of being locked in, Zhang Xuezhou could no longer hold back and had to speak up in response, hoping to get the Emperor Gaozu to back down.

But he clearly misjudged the ruthless nature of Emperor Gaozu.

The sword light continued to gather, from faint to condensed, and gradually the outline of a sword began to appear.

Damn it!

Zhang Xuezhou's body kept wandering.

The Dragonfish form can create countless afterimages to confuse opponents and waste their power in vain, but it is also the most vulnerable form.

No different from those illusory dragonfish, Zhang Xuezhou's true form would die with just one strike.

Even in his golden dragon form, the High Ancestor Emperor was helpless against him. He either exhausted his magical power and became weak, or he had to wait for time to pass before the opponent would have to return to the cycle of reincarnation. However, the High Ancestor Emperor, wielding the Red Empyrean Sword, was more than capable of killing him.

Things didn't go according to Zhang Xuezhou's plan, forcing him to take emergency evasive action.

The dragon fish leaped upwards with great force, and Zhang Xuezhou then saw the three forms he could transform into.
