Li Zhiyi never expected that the Great Celestial would stab him in the back at this time.

He had never seen such shamelessness!

Did he really think that others would let him go just because he betrayed them at the last minute?

If they lost this battle, it would not only be a question of whether the Great Celestial or the Demon-Hunting Bureau would still exist in the future.

Li Zhiyi really wanted to open up the Great Celestial's head and see what kind of flour and water mixture was inside, which could produce such a mess.

Why are the people of the dynasty so stupid!

Li Zhiyi still didn't know that the Great Celestial had already transferred all the evidence of colluding with sects and committing corruption and lawlessness to him, including the incident on Qihuang Terrace where they targeted Luo Qingshu. It was all the idea of "Li Zhiyi, the Young Master of the Sword Sect".

Normally, these pieces of evidence would be difficult to use against Li Zhiyi, as it was not easy to catch someone in the Saint realm. But if the rebellion failed, these pieces of evidence would play a crucial role in completely discrediting the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

What could a little girl emperor find out?

It was a simple multiple-choice question.

The eight major sects were now standing on the side of the "Emperor". Even if they openly rebelled, they would only achieve a Pyrrhic victory. With the Demon-Hunting Bureau severely weakened, what could they use to fight for power?

It would have been better to directly gather forces and conquer the capital city.

On the other hand, helping the "Emperor" suppress the rebellion would secure Luo Qingshu's position as the Empress in the future. It was consistent with the Demon-Hunting Bureau's previous plans to divide power.

The choice was clear.

If Gu Changge had appeared today, the Great Celestial would have joined forces with Li Zhiyi to besiege Qihuang Mountain and capture Luo Qingshu. But now that Gu Chi had become the Emperor, their cover as the Emperor was exposed too soon, changing the nature of this battle.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Great Celestial didn't need to test the Emperor's bottom line if they could openly rebel. Why wait until now?

Gu Chi also didn't expect that the first one to make a move in this battle would not be him or Li Zhiyi, but the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

Under the command of the Great Celestial, the Silver Armored Blade Guards, led by the sub-authorities, rushed into the crowd without hesitation.

These sect cultivators were originally called by the Demon-Hunting Bureau to make up the numbers, but now they had become the abandoned pawns for the Demon-Hunting Bureau to clear their name.

This move by the Great Celestial was both framing and silencing.

And so, the great battle began.

Gu Chi didn't have time to deal with these matters for now because Li Zhiyi was already coming towards him.

Ling Zixiao was intercepted by the Divine Maiden and they fought fiercely in the sky.

Su Bu Zhe and the others were all focused on the Great Celestial. If the Great Celestial didn't move, they wouldn't move either.

Li Zhiyi's current plan was simple: kill Gu Chi, then kill Luo Qingshu, and then escape.

He could even delay killing Luo Qingshu, but he must kill Gu Chi.

As players, it was inevitable for them to fight each other, and their strength had already reached the limit of this instance. Whether they could defeat each other or not, they had to at least give it a try.

Li Zhiyi didn't think he would lose.

As he rushed forward, the demonic energy in his body erupted, transforming into a bewitching long sword and shooting towards Gu Chi.

The sword was faster than the person.

Li Zhiyi had already planned his next move.

When Gu Chi made a move to deflect the sword, he would catch it and launch the next attack, relentlessly pursuing and attacking Gu Chi.

But Gu Chi didn't make a move, he just said one sentence—

"Your sword is my sword."

[Dao Yun - 99]

In an instant, the connection between Li Zhiyi and the sword formed by demonic energy was severed.

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Li Zhiyi: "???"

What the hell?!

The demonic sword that was about to stab his face suddenly stopped.

Gu Chi coldly snorted and raised his sleeve, his aura soaring as his fingers quickly tapped in the air.

Li Zhiyi thought Gu Chi was using a powerful move, so he quickly stopped his movement and pushed both palms forward. His spirit power surged out, forming a thick spirit power barrier that seemed capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Saint realm cultivator.

But in fact, Gu Chi was just bluffing him.

He was just taking the opportunity to replenish his Dao Yun...

The Speech Spirit Technique was not good in this aspect.

Not only did it require eloquence, but also fast hand speed.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement, Li Zhiyi suddenly realized that he had been played by Gu Chi. But before he could get angry, Gu Chi had already turned the sword's edge and shot it towards him.

Li Zhiyi was about to dodge.

Gu Chi: "Freeze."

Li Zhiyi's figure immediately stiffened.

He reacted quickly and managed to break free from the restraint with the power of a Saint realm cultivator, but in a high-level battle, any delay was fatal. He was still cut on his arm by the demonic sword.

Gu Chi flicked his fingers and the demonic sword flew back.

He spoke again: "Freeze."

This time, Li Zhiyi managed to dodge in time, but Gu Chi said "Go" and the Skyfall Sword shot towards him again.

"Chi." His left leg was also cut, blood flowing.

Gu Chi divided the Skyfall Sword and the demonic sword into ten, a total of twenty flying swords, which surrounded Li Zhiyi like a prison, relentlessly stabbing at him.

During this process, Gu Chi kept shouting "Freeze", causing Li Zhiyi's originally smooth body movement to become as laggy as watching a low-quality video. His wounds kept increasing.

Both were in the Saint realm, but Li Zhiyi was temporarily rendered completely defenseless by the relentless attacks.

The Great Celestial below saw this scene, maintaining a calm appearance, but internally he was shocked.

He didn't understand.

Why, at the same realm, was the situation so one-sided?

No one knew how frustrated Li Zhiyi was at this moment. Not only did Gu Chi take away his sword, but he also kept freezing him, making it impossible for him to fight back.

Finally, Li Zhiyi couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Myriad Swords Soaring Through the Clouds!"

This was a secret technique of the Sword Sect, using spiritual energy to transform into countless sword shadows. It was quite powerful.

The demonic aura and spirit power erupted from Li Zhiyi, rising to the sky like smoke from a fire, then transforming into countless sword shadows, vast and overwhelming, obscuring the sun.

Gu Chi had heard of this move from a storyteller and had already thought of a countermeasure.

It only required five words.

He said to Li Zhiyi, "You can't hit me."

"Buzz!"

Thousands of sword shadows fell like a torrential rain, but Gu Chi just stood there, not dodging or avoiding, like an immortal in a painting, standing alone in the world.

The sword shadows constantly brushed past him, but never touched his body.

Seeing a sword stabbing straight at him, it suddenly curved at the moment it was about to hit Gu Chi, drawing a strange arc and falling to one side.

Li Zhiyi: "???"

Is this reasonable?

Thousands of sword shadows, and not a single one could hit him?

Could it be...

"Speech follows the law?!"

Li Zhiyi, who was slow to realize, finally discovered Gu Chi's secret.

No wonder the power of the saint couldn't stop him, no wonder his sword was Gu Chi's sword.

This cunning guy actually knows Dao techniques!

Li Zhiyi knew how terrifying Dao techniques were, especially those that could arbitrarily change the rules. In some ways, they were invincible.

What to do?

Speech follows the law... If he couldn't hear, would he not be commanded?

A ruthless look flashed in Li Zhiyi's eyes, and he gathered spirit power in his palm, slapping his own ears!

His cheeks were immediately bloody and mangled!

Good grief... Gu Chi's eyelids twitched. This guy was really ruthless, damaging his own hearing.

At this moment, Gu Chi felt a pang of sympathy.

Although Li Zhiyi's action was useless.

Gu Chi had tried it before. The Speech Spirit Technique didn't depend on whether the other party could hear it, but whether he could speak it.

But he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see someone being so cruel to themselves. They were all players from the same world, why go to such lengths?

So he raised his hand, a soft green light emanating from his palm: "Miraculous Healing."

Gu Chi stepped behind Li Zhiyi, a word "Stop" fell, and his palm gently brushed past Li Zhiyi's ear, like a father's hand, large and warm, giving Li Zhiyi a sense of meticulous care.

The pain on his head disappeared in an instant, and his shattered ears grew back.

Like spring returning to the earth, everything revived.

Being healed felt comfortable, but Li Zhiyi just wanted to curse.

He turned his head and exchanged a palm strike with Gu Chi, creating a wave of energy. As his body flew backward, he slapped himself again.

Without a word, Gu Chi healed him again.

Li Zhiyi slapped himself again.

Gu Chi healed him again.

A doctor's benevolence, nothing more.

After several times, Li Zhiyi's mentality collapsed.

Without finding a way to avoid the Speech Spirit Technique, he could never defeat Gu Chi. But Gu Chi wouldn't let him avoid it, chasing him to heal him.

During this period, Gu Chi had more than one opportunity to seriously injure or even kill him, but he didn't. He insisted on torturing him.

Can't you just let me die?!

Of course not.

It's not easy to meet a real veteran player, how could he let him go easily?

It's easy for the Speech Spirit Technique to kill an opponent of the same realm, but controlling the opponent is somewhat difficult.

At least 110 points of Dao Yun is not enough to completely reverse the will of a saint.

He had to first break down the opponent's mental defenses, and it would be best to rationalize the situation, so the success rate would be higher.

So he played along, acting as a healer.

Li Zhiyi's current state was quite good.

Gu Chi timely tempted: "Are you angry? Quickly take out your trump card as a veteran player, kill me, and you'll feel better."

【Dao Yun-103】

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyi felt it made sense. If he couldn't bear it any longer, there was no need to bear it!

He immediately took out the Heavenly Demon Soul Refining Banner and roared, "Gu thief, die!"

Gu Chi replenished his Dao Yun, nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, it's mine now."

The Heavenly Demon Soul Refining Banner suddenly lost control like a demonic sword.

Seeing his treasure floating from his hand towards Gu Chi, Li Zhiyi suddenly woke up.

"No!!!"
