Everything at Fengxi Marsh Came to an End

Zhang Xuezhou has practiced martial arts for many years and has defeated several opponents.

Aside from his crushing victories over Ba'erde and Han Yan, he suffered greatly against other opponents.

He cultivated for many years and had many extraordinary encounters, but which of the likes of Huang Daoxian, Ying Fusu, Emperor Qin, and Emperor Gaozu did not also cultivate for a long time and have many extraordinary encounters?

Zhang Xuezhou is exceptionally talented, but the opponents he faces are equally outstanding.

His advantages were no longer obvious, and in comparison, his weaknesses even became apparent.

"Ying Fusu, why are you running away!"

In the midst of the battle, Zhang Xuezhou was constantly on the run, using every means to evade the Emperor Gaozu's attacks.

Emperor Gaozu was attacked by Emperor Qin, resulting in his head being crooked and half of his body being cut off, and his limbs being severed. However, even when faced with such a body, Ying Fusu, controlled by Zhang Xuezhou, found it difficult to defeat his opponent.

Without the Emperor Sword Tai'a, Ying Fusu's weaknesses are too obvious; he can't even break through defenses.

"Catch me if you dare!"

Zhang Xuezhou was soft all over, but his mouth was tough, and he would occasionally let out a sarcastic remark.

"Your body is soaking in the waters of the underworld. The longer you delay, the more your body will rot and turn into a yellow broth. Your only way out is to defeat me in the shortest amount of time!"

Faced with Zhang Xuezhou's provocation, Emperor Gaozu's voice was calm and composed, and he even used words to attack people's hearts.

"I'd rather lie in the Yellow Springs," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you're so capable, come and chase after me!"

"We can't catch up!"

Zhang Xuezhou's nonchalant attitude left Emperor Gaozu helpless.

The enemy maintained a sufficiently large distance within the limited operational space, keeping him in suspense and in pursuit, yet Emperor Gaozu could not catch up.

Having had half his head chopped off and four limbs severed by Emperor Qin, his body was unlikely to recover quickly, nor did he have enough time to do so, thus losing his high mobility.

As if he knew everything about himself, Zhang Xuezhou kept stalling for time.

This strategy is rudimentary, but it is indeed very effective. Emperor Gaozu was repeatedly reincarnated within the Reincarnation Stone without dying, but he was also controlled by the Reincarnation Stone and could not completely control his own freedom.

Once the time is up, he will be drawn away and crushed by the Reincarnation Stone, thus suffering defeat in the battle.

This situation is similar to the case where Yun Zhan's main body is killed.

Now, Emperor Gaozu can only gamble that Zhang Xuezhou's body cannot withstand the erosion of the Yellow Springs water, and that he will rot and die faster than him.

"Since we've chosen to gamble with our lives, I'll bet that your physical body will crumble faster than mine," Emperor Gaozu said after a pause.

"I'm sorry, I won't give you time to adjust the summoning of the Red Empyrean Sword!"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't break through the defenses of the golden dragon body of Emperor Gaozu, but he could poke at the wounds.

As long as the wounds inflicted by Emperor Qin are targeted, his tactic of merely scratching the surface will still have some effect.

From within the wide sleeves of his dark imperial robes, Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Emperor Gaozu, and a sword light slashed down, striking the wound on Emperor Gaozu's head with remarkable accuracy, causing the emperor to writhe in agony and shake his head repeatedly.

But that was all he was good at; besides rubbing salt into Emperor Gaozu's wounds, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't do anything else.

As Zhang Xuezhou gained more control over Ying Fusu's body, he also discovered some wonderful aspects.

Through continuous refinement by the Qi of destiny, or through constant application, his control over Ying Fusu's Qi body is improving, allowing him to utilize some of the body's abilities.

For example, the sword light he just swung with his finger instead of a sword was an ability he couldn't use before, but now he can use it easily.

Although this swordsmanship is not good for killing, it is perfectly adequate for harassment.

"Roar~"

The sound of a dragon's roar rang out, spreading out like shockwaves, and golden light continuously fell from the dragon's head of the Gaozu Emperor.

Zhang Xuezhou stepped into the air, easily dodged the attack, and then pointed with his other hand.

With enough experience, Zhang Xuezhou could easily overcome some common and universal skills. This kind of roaring and shocking skill was already something Zhang Xuezhou frequently encountered in battle.

Why did you abandon the Qin Dynasty, and why did you lie low for so long before making a comeback?

"What good will it do you to know the reason?"

I want to find the answer!

"That's such a pity!"

"How?"

"I dislike explaining things to my opponents; I prefer them to die a humiliating death!"

Emperor Gaozu may have wanted to clear up his doubts, or he may have wanted to use words to try to make Zhang Xuezhou relax, or he may have had other purposes. Zhang Xuezhou did not hold back and did whatever he could to annoy the other party.

To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou didn't know the Qin Dynasty's purpose either.

In short, he had to thank Emperor Gaozu for that sword strike, and he also thanked Emperor Qin for taking that sword for him.

As for the rest, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the game should be fought as it should be, and that the war would eventually have a winner and a loser. He hoped that Emperor Gaozu would eventually be eliminated.

They kept a close eye on Emperor Gaozu's every move, and occasionally harassed and verbally retaliated.

"Hey!"

When a sudden roar rang out and a golden light shot towards him, Zhang Xuezhou dodged without hesitation.

Before Emperor Gaozu could even unleash his dragon tail, he had already stepped out of its attack range.

"Impressive skill!"

When Emperor Gaozu first met Ying Fusu, he thought he was a useless person who relied on the Qin Dynasty.

The other party kept asking "Father Emperor to save his life" and even tricked his own father, but as the stalemate continued, Emperor Gaozu felt that things were not so simple.

Judging from Zhang Xuezhou's current behavior, the other party wouldn't have been shouting for help so early on.

The other party's behavior was so different from before that Emperor Gaozu could hardly believe it.

The opponent's tactical skills shouldn't be so one-dimensional. Their abilities in verbal sparring, escaping, dodging, and judgment are all extremely well-rounded. It's hard to believe and understand that such a tactical player only knows how to poke someone with one finger.

The Qin Dynasty was hidden deep within the abyss, and this Ying Fusu before us was also hiding much.

A fog of confusion shrouded Emperor Gaozu's mind, making it difficult for him to understand everything he had encountered.

He did feel somewhat resentful, but that resentment eventually faded away.

Zhang Xuezhou did not die from his body being soaked and rotting in the Yellow Springs water, but the Reincarnation Stone was already calling to him.

This shouldn't have been left for you!

Emperor Gaozu sighed with regret.

His dragon body was disintegrating, and the golden light of fortune enveloped the space.

He never imagined he would lose, but he did.

All his techniques and schemes will turn to ashes, thus becoming nourishment for his opponent's growth.

Emperor Gaozu's original plan was not like this. He hoped to draw his descendants into the scheme during ancestral worship, thereby causing his own downfall and benefiting his descendants.

If his descendants weren't so bad, they would definitely be able to kill him, who was gradually becoming numb within the Reincarnation Stone.

The white dragon, impaled on the dragon-locking pillar, was forcibly taken away, along with everything that belonged to him. Everything in Fengxize came to an end.

At the moment the dragon's body disintegrated, Emperor Gaozu saw that Ying Fusu's body also disintegrated and turned into golden light, then returned to the form of thousands of dragons and fish in a silver river.

A dragonfish lay prone among them, and from time to time, more dragonfish would split off and sprout from its body.

As it replenished the existing group of arowanas, the number of these arowanas multiplied, seemingly endless and densely packed.

"His... his physical development has come to an end... it turns out he wasn't an emperor or a prince... he wasn't Ying Fu..."

The moment the golden dragon's power completely collapsed, Emperor Gaozu saw the truth and finally understood the reason.
