The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1133 - 158: Chi You’s Banner

The crimson starlight is actually just a speck of light, and if Mr. Baili didn't point it out, it would be hard for ordinary people to see it.

Yet even as just a speck, it carries a kind of martial killing aura. The movement of this star directly points to the Three Stars constellation, skims past Ziwei, and over Taiyi, fully manifesting the sign of an imperial calamity.

"Your Majesty, the ancient texts say: 'Chi You's Banner resembles a comet, only to curve afterward, symbolizing a flag. Its appearance signifies the ruler waging war across the lands.'

This star should be the legendary Chi You's Banner, which governs matters of war. However, this time, Chi You's Banner directly skims past the Three Stars, alarming the Emperor Star, a sign of imperial calamity, chaos, indicating that it is not the ruler waging war across the lands, but a sign of the world losing its head, with dragons usurping the world."

While Mr. Baili explained what he knew in detail, he was instinctively observing Emperor Zhou's expression.

The person before him was indeed an emperor, and the imperial calamity sign could be connected to him.

"Your words seem a bit vague," Emperor Zhou's expression showed no anger; instead, he chuckled lightly, "Besides me, there is Emperor Qian, and now the resurging Human Emperor. The so-called sign of imperial calamity makes it hard to determine which emperor it pertains to."

"Moreover, I observe that Chi You's Banner also holds an innate aura of demonic energy, which signifies much more than just war."

"Does Your Majesty also understand celestial phenomena?" Mr. Baili felt a bit strange. Could Emperor Zhou, who had never studied astrology, really understand celestial phenomena?

"Just a little," Emperor Zhou closed his eyes slightly and said, "I am already aware of this matter, Mr. Baili, you may leave now."

"This..."

Mr. Baili hesitated, glancing at Emperor Zhou's expression, feeling inexplicably nervous, "I obey, Your Majesty's command."

He initially wanted to take this opportunity to elaborate on his viewpoints, allowing Emperor Zhou to increase his support for the Fate Altar and stand out against the Qintian Observatory. However, seeing Emperor Zhou's calm expression, Mr. Baili felt a bit fearful to speak.

Thus, after a moment of hesitation, he still withdrew.

The urgent report that came quickly also retreated swiftly; Mr. Baili hadn't anticipated that Emperor Zhou, upon witnessing the celestial phenomenon, showed no interest, merely asked a few questions, and had him leave.

He didn't see that after his departure, Emperor Zhou reopened his eyes, revealing a flash of sharp insight.

"Chi You's Banner is also said to hold the essence of Ying Huo. This star sign aligns with the previous sign of Mars Guarding the Heart, which means..."

Emperor Zhou once again looked up to the sky, fixating on the crimson starlight, "When Chi You's Banner streaks across the heavenly vault, it will mark the emergence of the Sixth Heavenly Demon."

War, war, and more war—the successive great battles in recent years, along with several Supreme warrior combats, have made the Tribulation Qi increasingly volatile. Even Supreme warriors have fallen a few in these years.

It's important to note that in past times, more Supreme warriors died of old age; those falling to unexpected deaths were rare.

Yet in recent years, even Supreme warriors cannot roam the world unchecked; a single misstep could result in demise.

Judging by Chi You's Banner trajectory, it will streak across the sky within this year. At that time, it will be the moment I battle with others aspiring for the Sixth Heavenly Demon." Emperor Zhou murmured to himself.

Saying a few, but in reality, after the Demon Lord's death, only two truly qualify to contend with Qing Yu; the other one is hardly worthy.

The reincarnated Suzan Ming Venerate, inheritor of the Great Freedom Sky Demon, surely possesses formidable strength, but compared to Qing Yu and the Sword God, he is still too weak.

The real adversary remains the Sword God.

Recently, I sensed the disconnection of the Juntian Jade Pendant. The spies keeping watch on the Jun Mountain also reported the surrounding area being enveloped in Slaughter Sword Energy, leaving all within perished. This indicates the Sword God likely battled the Sword God, and it is highly likely the Sword God lost."

The outcome of defeat is death, with almost no chance of survival.

"After the contest of sword and blade, the victor is sure to have greatly enhanced strength. The Sword God will be a formidable enemy. Additionally..."

"We must also prevent unforeseen events."

Though the Heavenly Demon requires immense power to achieve, the world holds many who can bear the most fierce Heavenly Demon Energy.

Moreover, power is actually only a foundation. Heavenly Demon Energy can also be influenced by individuals it resonates with and may spontaneously find a host.

Just like the previous Fourth Heavenly Silent Annihilation Demon, he became a Heavenly Demon not because of power, but due to his contrarian Buddha mind attracting the Heavenly Demon Energy.

Thus, by that time, precautions must be taken against certain people manipulating affairs.

While few aspire to become the Sixth Heavenly Demon, many are determined to prevent Qing Yu from achieving it.

Whether it's the Supreme Taoist, Xinyuan, or Daqian's Human Emperor and Mu Cangsheng and others, they will not allow Qing Yu to enhance his capabilities further and will all become obstructive stones.

"Let's see then, who claims victory!"

Emperor Zhou waved his wide sleeve and turned back into the Yangxin Hall.

·····················

East Province.

Under the starry night, thousands of dark shadows raced past.

Japan had fully launched an invasion war against East Province, and the ninja army, long absent, was also dispatched to the battlefield by Suzan Ming Venerate.

These assassins in the shadows may be less competent in direct combat compared to a regimented army, but in covert operations, every single one is the top choice.

Ninja God Hattori Hanzo personally led the team, marching Iga Ninjas overnight to launch a side assault 500 miles from the front battlefield, capturing three cities within several hours and completely exterminating the Chunyu Family branch of the Jiang Family.

And at present, these ninja troops are returning to base.

Seizing three cities and exterminating the Chunyu Family is enough to divert the Jiang Family's forces to the side. If they don't leave now, there might not be enough time to escape.

"You think you can flee? Is there still time?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

A cold sarcastic remark suddenly rang out, followed by a heaven-shaking halberd shadow enveloped in ghost fire crashing down.

"Boom——"

Misty ghostly fire spread around, forming an azure-black aura field as the Equal King Luo Feng, clad in the Ten Thousand Soul Battle Armor like a ghost general from hell, stepped on ghost fire, slashing his halberd, claiming the lives of dozens of ninjas.

"Equal King Luo Feng!" Hattori Hanzo immediately commanded, "Disperse!"

Ninjas are essentially creatures of darkness; confronting Daqian Military's War God Luo Feng head-on is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. Hattori Hanzo instantly ordered the ninja army to break into small groups and scatter.

Hattori Hanzo's silhouette quickly transformed into a shadow, merging into the night, and he was the first to vanish without a trace.

However······

"Night Parade of Hundred Demons."

Misty soul shadows swept across as King Biancheng's figure transformed, traversing through the soul shadows, his tiny pale hand strangely bearing countless shadows, pressing a handprint into the void.

"Clang——"

The hand struck the emptiness, yet emitted a sound like metal clashing, as Hattori Hanzo, holding a dark gray small katana, emerged, the blade crossing with King Biancheng's palm, producing a crisp sound.
