Chapter 1 Situation

Old Zhang noticed something was amiss when Ji Xiang smashed the Water and Fire Stall in the East City. Immediately, the avatar of his Yang God spread throughout every corner of Shuntian City, while another avatar chased after the team led by Shuerhazi, which was leaving the capital.

Central Avenue. The crowd parted, Yongding Gate not far ahead, this place already being the outer city.

Want to enter Yongding Gate, and go to the inner city?

Ji Xiang chuckled inwardly.

Nurhaci's reverse thinking was indeed extraordinary, very much in line with his character in the history books. Let the enemy come from many routes, I will only take one... others all run outwards, only he runs inwards.

Looking at this behavior, either he's preparing to circle from the inner city back to the East District, then leave by boat, or he's heading straight for the West City, passing through the ruins area, taking the small waterway door of Yuquan Mountain which is used for water transportation, secretly getting outside the city.

.......

Nurhaci was not one to sit and wait for death.

Having revealed his true form, there was no way to hide anymore!

"You speak of heavenly laws? I am neither a god general conferred by Heaven, nor a proper Taoist priest. I am the Commander of the Jianzhou Three Guards, a Dragon-Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty, a noble of the second rank. How dare you attack me?"

Nurhaci drew the Dragon-Tiger General Sword from his waist with a clang. As the sword was drawn, the power of his country underwent a qualitative change!

The phantoms of two giant dragons and a fierce tiger manifested in public!

Protected by divine beasts, and compared to when he first arrived in Shuntian, Nurhaci had now obtained a sufficient amount of pure national power from the shadows, and had also devoured a considerable amount of the second-rank national power from the Minister of Rites. At this time, the two giant dragons were snow-white, and the fierce tiger was dark-black. The sword pointed out a piece of white mountains and black waters, looking extremely mystical.

"Taoist priest, I think, some words, when spoken, are actually wrong."

"You say I stole the nation's power, but I am originally a Dragon-Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it natural that this national power is pure and powerful? My national power represents the face of the Ming Dynasty! I see that you are young, and probably don't know the status of my title."

"The one who can punish me is not some heavenly law, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! What are you?"

Ji Xiang chuckled: "I don't care whether you are a Dragon-Tiger General, or someone else's general, I ask you, the team has already left, yet you are using transformation techniques in Shuntian, changing your appearance into a woman, turning into hundreds of people, wandering around the Dongyue Temple, bewitching living people, and performing evil arts. What are you trying to do?"

"Don't tell me, you are preparing to do good deeds without leaving a name. Kongchang Spell, using it so smoothly?"

The smile on Nurhaci's face disappeared.

How did this young Taoist priest know the Kongchang Spell?

Was he also a dog of Lishanhe?

Could he be an internal agent lurking within the Ming Dynasty?

Nurhaci thought a lot in his mind, even thinking that Ji Xiang might be a pawn that Lishanhe had deliberately placed by the side of the Ming Emperor, but now, he could also feel Ji Xiang's killing intent, making him even more confused.

Was this Taoist priest his own, or a true enemy?

No!

He remembered that the people of Lishanhe had said that within Lishanhe, the forces were even more intricate and complex, and not everyone agreed, but it was actually more chaotic inside. Therefore, the dogs sought by Biaoshanhe often killed each other!

"Ah... actually I was preparing..."

"You don't seem to have divine beast insignia on you."

In Nurhaci's body, he was running his magical power, but the strange sounds of the scriptures were greatly hindering his magical power. This strange symptom still existed even though he could no longer hear those sounds now.

Since this was the case, he could only use the power of the country... and attack the other party!

The sword flashed out, and the two dragons and one tiger immediately roared and moved!

The divine beasts derived from the power of the country, in theory, would not attack each other, but although Ji Xiang was conferred as a Taoist master, he was not granted divine beasts, and the national power of the Ming Dynasty on Ji Xiang's body was of the same level as these two dragons and one tiger.

The aura of dragon and tiger rushed towards him, but Ji Xiang just shook his palm forward!

The Great Dao begins, and the void shatters.

The bloody mouth opened by that giant dragon stopped.

The power of the Great Dao penetrated from the dragon's head to the dragon's tail. This national guardian beast was shattered on the spot by the power of the Ascension Realm, reduced to ashes!

The air surged, and smoke and dust swirled! When Nurhaci saw his divine beast shattered by Ji Xiang with a palm, he was greatly shocked!

The power of the second-rank Dragon-Tiger General's national power actually... collapsed in front of a small Taoist official!

Only the Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty were qualified to make this dragon-tiger transformation disappear, but the person in front of him was not making it disappear, but smashing it until it disappeared!

Nurhaci was stunned on the street, but only for a moment, he saw Ji Xiang rushing towards him!

The remaining one dragon and one tiger attacked Ji Xiang from the left and right respectively, but what followed were two magical powers in response. The dragons and tigers collapsed on the spot, disappearing without a trace, the void continuously shaking, and clouds of aura rising into the sky!

Ji Xiang reached out his hand, each step leaving an extremely deep footprint on the ground!

After being strengthened by the alchemical powder of the Jiajing Emperor, although the level of his physical body was still the fifth realm, and Ronghua had disappeared, the strength of his physical body was completely different from the past. The explosiveness and durability were incomparable!

With his five fingers spread, his large hand directly slapped towards Nurhaci's face!

"I am a Dragon-Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty, how dare you attack me!"

In desperation, Nurhaci raised his sword to resist, shouting loudly!

"Even if you are the King of Heaven, I will still beat you!"

Ji Xiang slammed down with his palm, that fist being as strong as copper skin and iron bones, and its power comparable to a master of Five Qi Unification!

Nurhaci quickly waved his sword!

With a clang, this palm struck the sword's edge. Ji Xiang felt something was wrong. Although the great force was transmitted out, and Nurhaci somersaulted several times in a row, falling to the ground, and obviously could not resist his strength, Ji Xiang's strength was still diverted, and....

Ji Xiang looked at his palm. His strong body, which even the Five Thunder Talisman could not break, was actually cut open by this sword?

Yellow incense fire qi spread outwards. Ji Xiang circulated the magical power in his body, and the injury to his body gradually recovered. That cut also gradually closed.

But immediately afterwards, Nurhaci seemed to have discovered the benefits of the Dragon-Tiger General Sword. After all, he had not really used this precious sword in Shuntian. This was a symbol of the Dragon-Tiger General's identity, and could also mobilize a large amount of the Ming Dynasty's national power. After all, there were only nine of these swords in the world!

With this wave of the sword, it seemed that the entire national power in Shuntian City was being mobilized! The Dragon-Tiger General Sword, which was incomparably sharp and contained the divine power of the Ming Dynasty, struck Ji Xiang's body!

This sword cut open Ji Xiang's body, but produced bright sparks!

Nurhaci was taken aback, and clicked his tongue in amazement!

What an iron man! Was this still a human body? How could there be the sparks of a firearm being fired!

"Mobilizing the national power?"

Ji Xiang snorted, put away the horsetail whisk, and took out the golden hammer from his waist.

Ten percent of his Yuan Qi was burning, and Taoist magic roared!

At this time, Nurhaci swung his sword to kill!

The Inner Vision Divine Tablet also gave a description of this sword:

[Jianzhou Dragon-Tiger General Sword (Granted Title, Not Enhanced, Not Tempered): Precious Artifact!]

[The highest rank of martial officials, the second-rank Dragon-Tiger General, is granted this sword, which represents identity!]

[When this sword is drawn, sword qi is born, surrounding the sword by three inches. When swung, it can cut through copper and iron, slay ghosts and gods above, and slay demons below, without harming those who are unharmed! In Shuntian City, it can use national power to kill enemies!]

The Dragon-Tiger General Sword and the small golden hammer intersected each other. There was only a crisp sound, the sword's edge was broken, and a huge dent appeared on Nurhaci's forehead!

Dong!

Ji Xiang smashed Nurhaci to the ground with a hammer, the sound of the roar on the ground knocking down pedestrians in all directions!

The latter had a hole in his forehead, but he was still not dead. This was the effect of the Sky Marrow's Rebirth, which greatly enhanced his vitality.

Nurhaci's eyes were dark, and he could only hear the mocking voice in his ears:

"Ants overestimate their strength, and mayflies try to shake a tree!"

"This sword is not qualified to make you a king with land, but it is more than enough to make you die by the sword!"

Ji Xiang stepped forward and broke Nurhaci's spine with another hammer, then grabbed his neck and walked towards Yongding Gate!
