Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1075 - 639: No More Than Three

The people of the Yuwen Clan were overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Master Shong Wannian, please kill this woman immediately!"

"Kill him!"

The battle on the seventh floor was visible to the people atop the many rooftops on the street.

Even Xie Hui had leapt onto a rooftop to watch the fight.

Defeated? That was to be expected.

Because that was Shong Wannian.

"Shong Wannian, the leader of the Four Great Generals of the Ryukyu Dongming Sect, even he was invited by Yuwen Huaji... truly unexpected."

First, there were the Turks, and now Ryukyu masters are involved; surely this is the meddling of various national forces.

In other words, this is a sign of chaotic times.

Xie Hui’s expression was quite grave, watching the immensely powerful Shong Wannian on the seventh floor, and then looking at that woman in the green robe.

This is likely a hopeless battle.

One Yuwen Shi and one Shong Wannian, both first-rate masters among the Minor Grandmasters, not to mention the hostage in the enemy’s hands.

How could this man and woman possibly break the deadlock?

A Hongmen Banquet is a Hongmen Banquet!

Facing the crisis of Shong Wannian, the people of the Yuwen Clan could almost see her being slaughtered by Shong Wannian.

And at that moment...

On the sixth-floor balcony, as Yuwen Huaji shivered, Yuwen Shi had already sensed the sudden burst of Sui Yi’s aura.

He was also taken aback.

You must know he just claimed he could easily take down this Swordsman, and yet suddenly the Swordsman...

But perhaps it was an illusion.

The feeling lasted only an instant, and Yuwen Shi had already firmed his resolve to kill Sui Yi.

You see, the stronger a master’s conviction, the firmer it is, no matter whether that abrupt change in Sui Yi’s aura was an illusion or not, Yuwen Shi would not change his killing intent.

Therefore...

Buzz!

As the blade was drawn, it roared like mountains and oceans.

A first-rate Minor Grandmaster must naturally have a first-rate aura, with each strike like a mountain, each slash like a wave.

If it were slash after slash, it would be mountain and sea unleashed.

Yuwen Shi’s Inner Strength was something even three Yuwen Huaji combined could not match, so the momentum of this slash was perceived by those on both the sixth and fifth floors.

The notable figures who had been fiercely debating were momentarily silenced, instinctively looking out the window, unable to see the situation upstairs, but hearing the fierce breathing of the Inner Strength.

It seemed as though even the air was vibrating.

The windows were calling out.

Shong Xiufang, who had been quietly listening to the debates with little to say, turned her head, eyes rippling. She was no stranger to battles between masters, having even witnessed true Grandmaster-level individuals several times; having been fortunate to observe Grandmasters in battle. Moreover, these Grandmasters had exceptional temperament and were courteous to her, so she felt none of the discomfort an ordinary person might when facing masters.

Only, today her heart was somewhat unsettled.

Perhaps it was because the one upstairs, killing with abandon, was the same person who once, riding a great eagle, was merely inches away from her.

Every time she thought of that person’s sword, she recalled that otherworldly presence, so close she could almost touch it.

That person was truly different from all the men present.

"In battles between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in nine moves or less. I still recall Master Song of the Clan once saying this." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Could it be that those up there have only reached the first move?"

The speaker was Liew Baiyi, previously very reticent, now suddenly saying this, and smiling as gently as a spring breeze, but the insightful Shong Xiufang and Li Xiuning both sensed the deep undertones in his eyes, seemingly harboring inscrutable thoughts.

"Well, how many moves can they withstand, just like the current situation? The Four Great Clans—Yuwen, Dugu, Li Family, Song Clan—plus the Righteous Army and other forces, with outside enemies like the Turks, Goryeo, and Ryukyu, how many moves can they endure?"

Great Scholar Wang Tong proactively opened up a seemingly unrelated, yet actually strikingly sharp topic.

The people fell silent.

Yuwen Shi and that Swordsman?

The Four Great Clans and various forces, plus external powerful enemies?

Can this be compared?

Or is it, that Great Scholar Wang Tong is trying to deduce the Yuwen Clan’s future development from what the Yuwen Clan is investing their machinations and intentions in this battle, thereby linking to national trends?

The key point remains: why does the Yuwen Clan harbor such enmity toward this Swordsman, as if they are willing to exhaust their purpose to kill him.

Li Xiuning was deep in thought; she always felt there was a piece she hadn’t discovered, and it was this piece that the Yuwen Clan valued in Sui Yi.

It has nothing to do with the Longevity Formula or that Extraterrestrial Treasure.

The crucial point lies...

"But three."

When Liew Baiyi said this again, everyone was taken aback.
