The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 51 – Mixed doubles, Zhao Yuhuan couldn’t hold on any longer

The Imperial Capital was rocked by earth-shattering events, and naturally, the news couldn't be kept under wraps. Someone compiled everything that happened today through a communication jade slip and announced it to the world.

——[Revealed! The Glorious Life of Minister Meng Qin, Stop Slandering Him, He's a Loyal Minister!]

——[Seven Young Supremes Intimidate the Imperial Capital, Meng Qin's Disciple—Qian Yuan Sword Saint Slays the Seven Supremes!]

——[Qin Fenghuo of the Big Column Kingdom Injured, Nailed in the Forbidden Land of Buried Immortals, Rebel Army Achieves a Staged Victory!]

——[Explosive News! Zhao Yuhuan, Who Hid His Strength for Years, Turns Out to Be a Half-Step Morning Glow Realm Great Being!]

——[Zhao Yuhuan Challenges the Imperial Capital, Black Star Secret Art Revealed! The Empress is Also in the Morning Glow Realm! The Empress Accepts the Challenge!]

...

One piece of news after another shook the Great Jin Dynasty and even neighboring countries.

Countless people were left dizzy and disoriented, feeling as if the world had turned upside down and everything was unreal.

In just one day, seven young supremes died one after another, the Space-Time Sword Saint displayed his divine might, Zhao Yuhuan challenged the Imperial Capital, and the Empress was wounded and bleeding...

Upon hearing the news of the Empress's injury, naturally, some were happy while others were worried. The hearts of the Great Jin citizens clenched, praying for their Majesty.

The Empress's achievements during her reign were evident to all. You could call her domineering, autocratic, and bloodthirsty, but you couldn't deny her contributions. In just three short years, she brought peace and prosperity to the Great Jin, making it flourish.

Neighboring countries, however, were worried and fearful, dreading that the victor would be the Empress. This ruthless woman had already broken through to the Morning Glow Realm, enough to crush the surrounding nations, even the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't compare to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although Zhao Yuhuan was also considered a half-step Morning Glow Realm, the Black Star Secret Art's temporary boost only made him half a step. But Zhao Yuhuan was cautious and steady, rarely making a move. Of course, when he did, it was earth-shattering.

This battle was highly anticipated.

Countless supreme beings watched the alternate space battlefield from afar.

However, the process was unexpected.

The generals and Great Jin cultivators supporting the Empress were blocked by a group of people. These were members of the Great Qian Dynasty, Blood Sea Empire, Wuyatian Sect, and other forces, who had been waiting there.

"I knew you had many loyal ministers, how could I not make arrangements?" Zhao Yuhuan laughed loudly while wielding his halberd.

"Today, seven top forces have united to besiege you. Let's see how you escape, Qin Liuli, you must die!" The Old Ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty said coldly.

Dongfang Liuli said nothing, her long jade legs swept sideways, delivering a powerful kick that sent Zhao Yuhuan flying.

But there were too many enemies, all experienced old monsters, playing a war of attrition.

They only fought a war of attrition, never engaging in a head-on clash.

One person would retreat to heal immediately upon injury, while others would take their place, resisting the Empress's fierce attacks in turns, all to wear her down.

"So strong!" The Supreme Elder of the Wuyatian Sect coughed up blood, clutching his chest as he retreated from the battlefield, taking a healing pill, and said:

"Twelve half-step Morning Glow Realm cultivators, plus Zhao Yuhuan boosted to Morning Glow Realm by the Black Star Secret Art, barely managed to hold off Qin Liuli."

The Prime Minister of the Blood Sea Empire said coldly, "The stronger she is, the more we must kill her early! Once Qin Liuli stabilizes in the Morning Glow Realm, even if we all attack together, we won't be able to withstand her."

Qin Fenghuo's avatar led a group of generals, anxiously trying to break through the defense line.

Seven forces combined, with thirty to forty Moon Shine Realm cultivators blocking the way.

"Too much bullying!" Qin Fenghuo roared, spreading his arms and charging forward.

Immediately, Qin Fenghuo's avatar, which had been nurtured for hundreds of years, exploded among the enemies!

Three early-stage Moon Shine Realm cultivators died on the spot, and more than a dozen were injured, but the defense line remained as solid as a rock.

"Big Column Kingdom!" The Great Jin cultivators' eyes were bloodshot.

Despair grew stronger, and at this rate, the Empress wouldn't hold out.

"No one can change the outcome, Qin Liuli must die!"

"Brutal and unrestrained, slaughtering the masses, the Great Jin Empress has countless crimes, for the peace of the world, she must be erased."

Moon Shine Realm cultivators from the seven forces spoke one after another, as if passing judgment.

At this moment.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, appeared like silhouettes in time. Qian Yuan Sword Saint led Meng Qingzhou forward, the tributary of the river of time flowing beneath their feet, everything around them turning black and white.

The blockers from the seven forces saw them and tried to intercept.

"Stop, no passage ahead!" Someone slashed with a blade, piercing the star core, but it didn't hit Qian Yuan Sword Saint and Meng Qingzhou. The blade light passed through them without leaving a mark.

Meng Qingzhou remained calm and serene, not surprised by the commotion.

"After breaking through to the Moon Shine Realm, I comprehended a higher level of Sword Sense of Time and Space!"

"I named this move: Time-Space Shadow." Qian Yuan Sword Saint said softly, "What you see is not the me of this time and space, I walk in the future and past of the corridor of history."

The blockers from the seven forces didn't believe it, taking turns bombarding Qian Yuan Sword Saint and Meng Qingzhou with various methods.

Some even mastered the laws of causality, trying to fundamentally punish Qian Yuan Sword Saint.

"Futile effort, causality can affect Sword Sense of Time and Space, but your understanding of causality is too shallow, far from enough."

Qian Yuan Sword Saint shook his head, raised his right hand, and joined his fingers into a sword.

"This sword, killing from the future, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next second, unavoidable, unpredictable, you can only withstand it."

"I only strike once per person, survive if you can."

With that, Qian Yuan Sword Saint lightly pointed continuously, dozens of Sword Sense of Time and Space disappearing into the river of time.

The blockers sneered, thinking Qian Yuan Sword Saint was bluffing.

"A mere Sea Covering Realm cultivator dares to boast..."

"Wait!"

"When did you break through! This aura is... Moon Shine Realm!"

A Blood Sea Empire cultivator exclaimed, and as soon as he finished speaking, a sword sense suddenly attacked from behind, cutting off his head and shattering his divine soul.

The blockers from the seven forces only then realized, and a strange silence fell, everyone was at a loss.

How to fight this!?

The opponent couldn't be marked, locked, or attacked.

And Qian Yuan Sword Saint casually released a sword sense, which would enter the river of time and strike unexpectedly.

Pfft!

Pfft!

...

People kept getting killed without warning, the scene was extremely eerie.

Even Moon Shine Realm cultivators who had lived for a thousand years, accustomed to great storms, were scared out of their wits.

"Demon... Demon! Run! Run quickly!"

Gradually, some fled in panic, thinking that leaving this alternate space and no longer facing Qian Yuan Sword Saint directly would keep them safe.

"You can't escape, the Sword Sense of Time and Space has merged into your future, waiting at some future moment."

"The only way to avoid it is to immediately become stronger than me, withstand the next sword, or cut your throat now, ending your life early, and you won't have to face my sword."

Qian Yuan Sword Saint shook his head, explained a few words, and then ignored them, following Meng Qingzhou step by step, continuing forward.

In the distance.

Terrifying fluctuations spread, ordinary Moon Shine Realm cultivators couldn't even get close without being injured.

At the center of the battlefield, Dongfang Liuli remained formidable, needing no weapons, her fists moving with unstoppable force, like an invincible war goddess.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for the delay in rescue." Meng Qingzhou cupped his hands and bowed from afar.

His calm and peaceful voice reached Dongfang Liuli's ears.

Dongfang Liuli's face, which could drive any being mad, was filled with hostility, her eyes devoid of emotion, cold as if ready to slaughter all beings.

But upon hearing Meng Qingzhou's voice, Dongfang Liuli shivered, her eyes clearing.

"Qingzhou..."

Dongfang Liuli murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear, somewhat incredulous, ignoring the attacks around her, and turned to look.

She saw a river of time, like a red carpet laid on the ground, stretching towards her.

Meng Qingzhou walked on the river of time, step by step approaching.

"Why are you here! Leave quickly!" Dongfang Liuli was momentarily stunned by the scene, then quickly reacted, urgently scolding.

Zhao Yuhuan followed her gaze, saw Meng Qingzhou, and frowned:

"Are you Meng Qingzhou or Meng Qin?"

Meng Qingzhou scratched his head, a bit confused, blinking and asking blankly, "What do you mean?"

Meng Qin and Meng Qingzhou are both me, what nonsense are you talking about!

"Forget it, whoever you are, you're someone I want to kill." Zhao Yuhuan grinned viciously.

At this critical moment, Zhao Yuhuan was desperate, wanting to kill Dongfang Liuli as quickly as possible.

Now someone had come to him, someone important to the Empress.

Whether it was Empress's husband Meng Qingzhou or Vice Minister Meng Qin, both had close ties with the Empress.

Since that was the case, killing him would surely disrupt the Empress's Dao heart, affecting the battle!

"Sorry, you might not get the chance." Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

The reason he risked his life, following his avatar into the battlefield, was his concern that the avatar alone couldn't withstand the dozen half-step Morning Glow Realm cultivators.

Only by coming himself, even if he didn't fight, just watching from the side, could he amplify the Sword Sense of Time and Space.

"Qian Yuan, pull them into the time-space domain, return the battlefield to the Empress and Zhao Yuhuan." Meng Qingzhou faced Zhao Yuhuan, playfully raising an eyebrow.

Little brother, you should face the wrath of the greatest villain boss, the first Empress in history, the unparalleled genius—Qin Liuli.

It's a pity I can't see Zhao Yuhuan's colorful expressions, truly a regret.

Qian Yuan Sword Saint nodded slightly, spread his arms horizontally, and then clapped heavily!

The Sword Sense of Time and Space formed a small world, enveloping the twelve half-step Morning Glow Realm cultivators.

"Enter the cycle, everyone." Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

A tributary of the river of time pierced the void, enveloping the twelve leaders of various forces.

Under the cover of time comprehension, the twelve leaders instantly entered a time loop, trapped in a historical fragment or a certain life experience.

An awkward scene unfolded.

Zhao Yuhuan, who had been leading the group of big shots to gang up on the Empress, suddenly found himself alone, facing the Empress by himself.

"Uh..." Cold sweat rolled down Zhao Yuhuan's forehead, his face stiffening.

Dongfang Liuli's cold eyes darkened, she said indifferently:

"How do you want to die?"
