Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 44 The lady is bathing; do not look!

Upon reaching the exit of the altar, Gu Jiancheng realized that the black, malevolent aura shrouding the entire ancient city had reached its peak.

Even he needs to activate his Insightful Eyes to see the battlefield clearly.

At this moment, the black dragon, which had completely broken free from the restraints, unleashed its ferocious power. Even though Yun Shuiyao could fight across realms, she was no match for it.

At this moment, Mo Jiao had exceeded the combat power limit of Yun Shui Yao!

Continuing like this was obviously not an option. Gu Jiancheng retreated to the entrance of the altar, then raised the Yuanjun Sword. The power of the Dao Palace Realm instantly pumped into the sword, and boundless sword energy burst forth.

The fiery sword energy seemed to cleave the sky, rising from below and instantly striking the black dragon's neck.

How powerful is Gu Jiancheng's swordsmanship now?

Despite his Daoist palace, his dantian and qi sea were like a vast ocean, and his sword aura had reached its peak.

With a single, fiery sword strike, the black dragon's scales were instantly cleaved apart. The hundred-foot-long sword energy was unstoppable, and it directly severed the black dragon's head!

Even this ferocious beast overlord, capable of dominating a region, is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant under Gu Jiancheng's sword.

However, Yun Shuiyao, who was still being suppressed by the Mo Jiao and unable to breathe, saw the Mo Jiao's roar suddenly stop and its head even beheaded, and her pretty face instantly changed color.

She had already fought this black dragon for dozens of rounds and knew its combat strength best.

Even if he used his full power to strike, it would be difficult to break through the black dragon's defenses.

But now, this incredibly powerful beast has been slain with a single sword strike?

What a powerful sword strike!

As her gaze fell upon the altar, the heavy mist above it gradually dissipated, revealing Gu Jiancheng standing there!

This startled Yun Shuiyao. She immediately flew down, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gu Jiancheng, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "You know swordsmanship?"

"how is this possible?"

Gu Jiancheng's eyes darted around. Exposing himself now might anger the Empress.

He immediately raised his hand, causing the magic array totems around the altar to light up.

"I don't know anything about swordsmanship, but I do know about formations!"

Formation?

Yun Shuiyao was taken aback, then looked at the surrounding magic array runes, which were indeed filled with terrifying energy fluctuations.

"So, you broke the ancient city's magic array before us and got in?" Yun Shuiyao seemed to understand and asked again.

"That's right, I let you in only after I saw you arrive. Those three so-called sect prodigies have already been eliminated by my magic array!"

Gu Jiancheng shrugged and smiled.

"Oh, I see. So how did you get your points?"

Yun Shuiyao asked, which was also what had been puzzling her.

Gu Jiancheng's speed in climbing the rankings is truly bizarre.

Even though she hunted ferocious beasts day and night, she couldn't catch up with him, and the gap between her and Gu Jiancheng only widened!

"Haha, of course there's a brilliant method!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled and then took out the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus and the Langhuan Pendant.

"I discovered this item after I descended into the Beast Abyss, and this Langhuan Pendant was given to me by my master; it's a spatial treasure."

Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and led Yun Shuiyao into the Langhuan Space.

"This is... Xiaoyao Peak?"

Looking at the familiar Tingyu Lake and thatched cottage, Yunshuiyao was stunned.

How come she didn't notice it before?

“That’s right. I hid in Langhuan and used the Nine-Bend Demon Lotus to lure all the ferocious beasts here. Then, I used talismans to kill them,” Gu Jiancheng said with a smile, spreading his hands.

His words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, but his logic was flawless.

"I see. It seems you have quite a few hidden talents."

Yunshuiyao indeed believed it.

The art of talismans is indeed the best explanation for Gu Jiancheng's combat prowess.

"In that case, you should stop cultivating and focus more on talismans and alchemy. You can make a name for yourself there."

"If the Eastern Mausoleum Academy can't find a way to break the Spirit-Binding Body, I'll think of another one," Yun Shuiyao said after thinking for a moment.

"can."

Gu Jiancheng nodded, feeling quite moved.

Although he wasn't a spirit-sealing body, Yun Shuiyao truly took this matter to heart.

"By the way, there's an underground palace beneath that altar; it might be useful to you!"

Gu Jiancheng recovered his senses and then raised an eyebrow.

Before he came out, he had already absorbed the Void Sprout and half of the Spirit Milk.

The rest was what he had prepared for Yunshuiyao.

"An underground palace?"

Yun Shuiyao was taken aback, then followed Gu Jiancheng out of the Langhuan Space and headed straight for the underground palace.

Sure enough, Yun Shuiyao was stunned when she saw the fire pool and spiritual milk in the underground palace.

Although the spiritual milk was only half its previous size at this time, it was still terrifying in size.

Yunshuiyao has just advanced to the Core Formation stage and needs a lot of resources to boost her cultivation.

Therefore, this Fire Pool Spirit Milk was extremely important to her.

“There’s still time. Why don’t you absorb the energy here first, my wife? I’ll protect you,” Gu Jiancheng said.

"Okay, but you must go out and protect the Dharma."

Yun Shuiyao's pretty face suddenly flushed red.

"Huh?" Gu Jiancheng asked, puzzled.

"Fine, you can stay here!" Ke Yun Shuiyao shook her head again, then raised her hand to form a hand seal, using the energy of the fire pool to transform into runes, constructing a barrier array that enveloped her in the center of the fire pool.

Yunshuiyao, you actually have such profound knowledge of magic arrays?

This surprised Gu Jiancheng quite a bit.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not an exception.

Yunshuiyao was once an empress, so it's not surprising that she knows formations.

However, although this isolation array is of a very high level, it is useless to the Divine Eye of Insight.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng activated his Divine Eyes.

However, the moment he looked into the barrier array, blood gushed from his nose.

At this very moment, Yun Shuiyao had already taken off her clothes and was bathing in the fire pool!

This is going to kill him!

Even the invincible Burning Heaven Body, which was once unbeatable across all realms, is no longer invincible!
