“Disperse!”

He saw the blood mist pouring down like a broken river dam, the water raging and rushing towards him.

Pei Xuanjing, seeing this, kept his calm, uttered a light command, and then the Innate Thunder Gang Qi around his body surged freely. Countless purple-green bolts of lightning fell, smashing the mist apart.

Next, he gathered his five fingers into a palm, collecting the purple-green electric arcs, striking towards the opponent.

Thunder was supremely rigid and unyielding, it broke evil and subdued the demons.

His Shenxiao Thunder Palm technique was already powerful enough. Now, against this Demonic Cult’s Blood Demon Qi, it was even more potent than before.

Booming sounds echoed.

Despite it being a clear day, as Pei Xuanjing made his move, the celestial pattern over his head started to change, almost as if wind and thunder were gathering, as thundering booms resounded in the sky, giving the impression of impending thunderbolts.

Rip! Bang!

Yang Tinghe’s official robe was instantly torn into countless pieces and fluttered in the sky, revealing a blood-colored robe underneath.

Facing this towering palm strike from Pei Xuanjing, Yang showed no fear. He flicked his fingers lightly, performing a series of hand seals, and in a blink of an eye, a blood-colored seal condensed on his chest.

The Blood Seal of the Blood Demon Sect was not only powerful, but also extremely vicious.

Those affixed with such blood seals would have their blood Qi boiling rapidly, burning uncontrollably, until, in the end, the victim’s blood Qi is exhausted, resulting in death.

Boom!

An intense explosion, like a startling thunderclap, echoed throughout the square.

A myriad of low-level civil and military officials scattered in a hurry, fearing that they’d be caught in the fierce exchange and lose their precious lives.

Even though this was merely the initial probing exchange between the two, the power they displayed immensely shook the hearts of countless spectators.

Their figures swiveled and clashed instantaneously. Fists and palms, legs and fingers, all sorts of hand -to-hand techniques were deployed, causing strong gusts of wind and continuous energy explosions.

Due to their fierce exchange, apart from them, there was no one left on the square. The marble floor paved with white jade stones was also damaged from the aftershocks. The floor collapsed and stones flew about.

Each of their movements demonstrated immense destructive power and explosive force, shocking everyone.

Over so many years, Pei Xuanjing’s fame was earned through his own effort, punch by punch, sword strike by sword strike. Thus, no one could question his strength.

But to their surprise, Yang Tinghe – or the Blood Demon, who had not set foot in the martial arts world for decades and hadn’t made a move from within the court for a long time – also possessed such a terrifying strength.

One must realize, during these decades, Yang did not, like other martial artists, seclude himself for closed-door training. Instead, most of the time he focused on politics, which was why he was highly regarded by the emperor.

Despite this, the strength displayed by the Blood Demon today was still so terrifying that it left everyone astounded.

Could it be possible that the Blood Demon had such terrifying strength decades ago?

Or was he extraordinarily gifted, allowing his martial arts to progress rather than regress during the past few decades while he was also handling political affairs?

Regardless, the Blood Demon today left many people astonished.

“For him to spend decades concealing himself within the court, he must be plotting something earth-shattering,” someone guessed, his eyes sparkling.

After all, if the Blood Demon’s martial strength had diminished, his concealment within the court could be explained as avoiding retaliation from his enemies.

However, the Blood Demon, who now displayed shocking strength and whose martial arts skills were rare in the world, did not seem to be hiding from any enemies.

The ability to make such a powerful Blood Demon spend decades doing something undoubtedly made everyone extremely curious. What Secrets are hidden within?

They speculated whether Pei Xuanjing appeared here today to trouble Blood Demon Yang Tinghe because of this secret.

Otherwise, according to their information, Pei Xuanjing and the Blood Demon had no grudges, so why would he suddenly trouble him?

They were eager to know the true purpose of the Blood Demon and whether they could obtain anything from it.

Thinking of this, some friendly forces began to secretly plot, scheming whether they could grab a share of the spoils from this situation.

Meanwhile, outside the Imperial City, a Thousand-Li Fire exploded in the sky, seemingly responding to the signal just released by Yang Tinghe and others.

Many people’s faces changed, understanding that the others outside the Imperial City had just made their move.

Lin Qingyi immediately took a step forward, preparing to order the Brocade Guards to suppress the rebellion with him.

He knew that although the present imperial city seemed dangerous, it was actually the safest place.

Not to mention Pei Xuanjing, a peerless powerhouse handling Yang Tinghe, there were also those from major forces who were eager to take action at any moment on the side.

In addition, Master Qingxu, the head of the True Martial Sect, was seated. With such a person who was ranked at the top of the martial arts council, no major problems would arise in the Imperial City.

In contrast, most of the officials were currently inside the Imperial City. While there were many forbidden army soldiers guarding outside, no one could command them.

He said to Commanding Officer Jiang Bin, “Sir, with people from the Two Factories protecting the Empress Dowager, I’d like to ask for permission to lead a team to suppress the rebellion.”

He had initially thought that Jiang Bin would agree with his action. However, surprisingly, after hearing his request, a hint of impatience emerged in Jiang Bin’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “Let’s wait and see.”

“Sir ,” Lin Qingyi was puzzled and wanted to ask for permission again. “Shut up,” Jiang Bin scolded, his eyes filled with anger. He said, “Are you going to disobey my orders?” A chill filled Lin Qingyi’s heart. He respectfully said, “I wouldn’t dare.”

Although he was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to step back obediently and order his men to guard the surroundings.

Jiang Bin was looking at the two people fighting in the square, with deep eyes and a calm demeanor. No one knew what he was thinking.

Lin Qingyi stood at a distance, looked around, and noticed something strange. Xu Tai and Li Cong, who were fellow commanding officers, had disappeared at some point. At present, of the three commanding officers of the Brocade Guards, only he was commanding the troops within the Imperial

City.

This made Lin Qingyi feel somewhat suspicious.

Meanwhile, outside the Imperial City, Bai Xiaosheng and Pei Xuanjing quickly gathered their forces’ experts and headed towards East City after they had separated.

Originally, according to the rules, King Xing, as a member of the royal family, could also attend this Great Morning Meeting.

However, because he was a potential successor to the throne, King Xing was temporarily placed here and did not enter the Imperial City before the final result was out.

The reason was simple. The court debates were decided by officials, and none wished to openly oppose a potential new monarch.

Therefore, neither King Xing nor the grandson of the Anshan King entered the Imperial City.

When Bai Xiaosheng, leading his men, was less than two li away from the temporary residence of King Xing, violent waves of battle Qi emerged, changing his facial expression slightly..
