Chapter 35

Only the sound of a "bang" as the air exploded could be heard, and the Evil King and "Yue Shan" separated from each other.

"Yue Shan" took several deep breaths and coldly sneered, "I thought the Indestructible Seal Technique was some incredible skill, but it turns out to be nothing much. If Shi Xiaor's techniques are only this much, he won't leave the Leaping Horse Bridge alive tonight."

The Evil King, however, displayed a ruthlessly cold smile and said calmly, "The ins and outs of your Yue Overlord Saber have all been grasped by me. Unless you and Xiaoyan join forces, you want to kill me? It's just a dream. Heh heh, Xiaoyan, what do you think?"

As he spoke, the sound of splashing water could be heard from under the bridge, and a graceful and elegant figure emerged from the waves, none other than the Yin Empress.

She lightly stepped onto the Leaping Horse Bridge, forming a triangle with "Yue Shan" and the Evil King. She giggled, "Zhi Xuan, Zhi Xuan! Although you look down on everyone, you now have to admit that you've met a stubborn opponent. Now, tell me, do you still think that we two can't kill you, and it's just a dream?"

"You dream, I dream, everyone in the world has dreams. The vast universe is nothing but a great dream. If a person doesn't have dreams, how are they any different from salted fish?"

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly drifted over with the wind. In an instant, the three on the Leaping Horse Bridge were all startled and called out in unison, "Who's there?" They instinctively turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Under the moonlight, a young man in white, his sleeves fluttering, walked gracefully on the water. His steps were as graceful as a startled swan, as elegant as a dragon; his body moved swiftly like a flying duck, appearing and disappearing like a god, moving without a fixed pattern, sometimes precarious, sometimes safe.

Such a high level of lightness skill made the three present feel ashamed of their own abilities. Moreover, in the eyes of the Evil King, the Yin Empress, and "Yue Shan," this young man's demeanor was like flowing clouds and water, embodying the true essence of nature, without a trace of worldly烟火气. It was as if he himself was a part of the "Great Dao," and every movement and gesture perfectly matched the subtleties of the Heavenly Dao. Watching him made one feel refined and forget to return.

Such a person was truly unprecedented. In an instant, the Evil King and the Yin Empress each compared this young man in white to all the top figures they knew. But they were shocked to find that no one could compare to this young man.

If they had to say, perhaps only the foremost of the three great masters, Ning Sanren, could match this young man in white. But Ning Sanren had a bit more of a rustic air, far less elegant and noble than this young man in white, who seemed like a celestial being descended from heaven.

This young man in white, of course, was Xiao Sheng. His appearance and demeanor were originally very masculine. But this time, when he entered the parallel world, the Kala Temple somehow adjusted his appearance to be much more delicate and handsome.

Moreover, Xiao Sheng was at the peak of the Disturbing God Realm, at least two levels higher than the Evil King and the Yin Empress. In martial arts cultivation, a small difference often meant a vast distance. Being one level higher meant being incomparably higher. The combination of these two factors made Xiao Sheng appear like a celestial being to the three on the Leaping Horse Bridge. This effect was even unexpected by the Fourteenth Prince himself.

In a moment, Xiao Sheng stepped onto the bridge and nodded and smiled slightly at everyone present. The Evil King's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking. "Yue Shan" remained calm, waiting for the right moment to act. Only the Yin Empress instinctively smiled back and asked in a sweet, seductive voice, "Young brother, who are you?"

Just by the sound of her voice, she seemed like a young girl of sixteen, both charming and alluring, filled with endless temptation. Unconsciously, she had already used the demonic technique, "Secret of the Heavenly Demon." Those with slightly lower cultivation would immediately have their minds controlled and be at her mercy.

But how could the Yin Empress succeed in trying to bewitch Xiao Sheng, who was at least two levels higher than her? In an instant, Xiao Sheng glanced at her and said indifferently, "We are both wanderers in this world, why must we have met before to recognize each other?"

Although his tone was indifferent, these words were like a thunderclap to the Yin Empress, making her ears ring and her head ache. Her face turned pale, and her body swayed, forcing her to retreat several steps until her back hit the stone railing. It took great effort for her to stand steady again.

The "Secret of the Heavenly Demon" had always been invincible. The Yin Empress had never even dreamed that someone in the world could break her demonic technique with just a few words and a glance. Her shock was indescribable.

Seeing the Yin Empress suffer, the Evil King's eyes revealed a hint of mockery. He waved his sleeves, and the originally chilling and deadly aura that made people shiver disappeared without a trace. Instead, he appeared as a graceful and elegant scholar.

He laughed and recited, "Life between heaven and earth is like a distant traveler; a cup of wine for entertainment, better to be generous than stingy..." Without looking at the others, he turned to leave.

But just as the Evil King took a step, his eyes blurred, and he saw the young man in white standing in front of him, blocking his way. The Evil King was inwardly alarmed but pretended not to see, naturally turning to the right to avoid the young man in white.

However, after just two steps, the Evil King's eyes blurred again. When he focused, the young man in white was already blocking his path again, not only blocking the way but also winking at him with a smile.

The Evil King's face darkened, and he sternly asked, "What do you mean by this, sir?"

"Nothing much. I just want to do a good deed." Xiao Sheng pointed at the Evil King, drew a half-circle with his finger, and pointed at the Yin Empress, smiling, "You two have been lovers for decades. Why must you fight to the death, like fire and water? How about this: enemies are better reconciled than made. I'll be your matchmaker and find a good day for you to get married. Old lovers finally becoming a couple, wouldn't that be a happy ending?"

Xiao Sheng's words were truly shocking. In an instant, the Evil King and the Yin Empress were speechless, unable to utter a single word. After a long while, the Yin Empress finally broke free from her shock. She screamed, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! I'd rather marry a pig or a dog than this ungrateful beast!"

The Evil King burst into laughter and said to Xiao Sheng, "Sir, you are truly imaginative. Everyone says I'm crazy, but it turns out you are even crazier than I am, hahaha~"

"Ah, the world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at the world for not seeing through it. The graves of the heroes of the Five Tombs are now fields without flowers or wine."

Xiao Sheng sighed, "So, the most important thing in life is to be happy. Whether you are happy or not, it's a lifetime. Why not be happy for a lifetime? We are all adults, why keep纠缠over a little misunderstanding? Don't be so childish, okay? All this fighting and quarreling, do you know how worried your families are? Oh, you've been staring at each other for so long, it must be tiring. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make noodles for you?"

The Evil King's face darkened, and he shouted, "Madman, truly a madman! Yue Badao, Xiaoyan is your woman. Now this madman is talking nonsense, are you going to let him get away with it?"

Indeed, Yue Badao had once been married to the Yin Empress, and they even had a daughter. If this was really Yue Badao, even if they had long separated, hearing someone suggest he give his wife to another man would make him furious.

But the "Yue Shan" in front of them was not really Yue Shan. He had been playing the role of a bystander all along, saying nothing. Suddenly, the Evil King directed his anger at him, and this "Yue Shan" broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Sheng laughed and said, "Evil King, don't be hard on him. This has nothing to do with him. How can he answer you? Hey, Xu Ziling, what do you think?"

"What? What did you call him?" The Evil King and the Yin Empress exclaimed in unison. Four pairs of eyes stared at "Yue Shan," as if trying to see through his face.

Some things are just a thin layer of paper away. If you don't pierce it, you can't see through it. But once you do, everything becomes clear. This "Yue Shan" had many differences from the "Overlord Saber" in people's memories. Everyone thought it was because he had practiced the Indian technique, "Sun Replacement Great Technique," but now, with Xiao Sheng's revelation, the Evil King and the Yin Empress began to see something amiss.

Especially the Yin Empress, whose face changed rapidly. She sneered, "So, you are Xu Ziling, that little brat. You really deceived us. This mask, was it made by Lu Miaozǐ? Only he could make a mask that looks exactly like a real person."

"Indeed, it's a human skin mask. No wonder, no wonder." The Evil King also sneered, "In our earlier fight, you took several heavy blows from me. Even the three great masters would have winced and changed their expressions. You remained calm, heh heh, a great deception."

"Yue Shan" sighed and said, "Young brother, I have no grudge against you, why must you expose me?" As he spoke, he grabbed his face and pulled it off, revealing his true face. The Evil King and the Yin Empress saw clearly that it was indeed one of the Twin Dragons, Xu Ziling.

Just as Xu Ziling revealed his true identity, the Evil King and the Yin Empress suddenly roared and launched a full-power attack on Xiao Sheng.

The Yin Empress's Heavenly Demon Aura surged wildly, covering a three-zhang radius. Everything around them seemed to be distorted and compressed, trying to crush Xiao Sheng into a pulp.

The Evil King, with his ghostly and mysterious movements, moved within the Heavenly Demon Aura, gathering the life and death energies in his right palm, forming a highly explosive true qi drill, and struck Xiao Sheng's chest with a powerful blow. The Indestructible Seal Technique — "Life and Death Parting, Heartrending!"

The Evil King and the Yin Empress, entangled in mutual grudges for half a lifetime, now cooperated seamlessly, increasing their power by more than three times. Even the foremost of the three great masters, Ning Sanren, would likely suffer a fatal blow if he faced this attack.

Xu Ziling's face changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Be careful!" Without hesitation, he tried to help, but the power gap was too great, and he couldn't even break through the Heavenly Demon Aura, let alone offer any assistance.

In that moment, Xu Ziling, filled with despair and reluctance, tightly closed his eyes.
