Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 227，Part 1 – Beat up in front of parents

The Yu Huang Capital Map was already in a mess. The power of this royal spirit weapon was extraordinary. If one had enough magic power, they could activate the spirit weapon and restore everything in the map to its original state.

Although Su Yun had destroyed a large part of the scenery in the map, he did not damage the map itself.

However, at this moment, the imperial clan's powerful figure, Yuan Chongshan, who controlled the spirit weapon, dared not move at all because the person sitting opposite him was Qiu Shuijing.

He noticed that Su Yun was causing trouble in the Yu Huang Capital Map and disrupting the great debate between the new and old schools. With his strength, he could easily use the power of the spirit weapon to suppress Su Yun.

But with Qiu Shuijing sitting across from him, he dared not make any moves because he had already realized that any action he took could be fatal!

The two of them were sitting on the edge of the third level of the Eastern Capital, on top of a high-rise building that was perilously close to the edge. The building was more than a hundred feet high, and the top floor was like a palace.

Yuan Chongshan observed the situation on the second level of the Eastern Capital from here, holding the spirit weapon, the Yu Huang Capital Map.

Everything that happened in the Yu Huang Capital Map was vividly remembered. This great debate could have become the new school's victory in the name of Emperor Yuan Shuo, with the imperial family using the power of the new school, and with the support of foreign countries, they could have overthrown Emperor Di Ping and established a new emperor, completing a palace coup.

However, Su Yun appeared, and if he continued to act recklessly, this debate would not achieve the imperial family's goal!

But he was helpless against Su Yun because of Qiu Shuijing's presence.

"In today's Eastern Capital, Prime Minister Wen and General Xue are not here, and only Qiu is left among the three ministers."

Qiu Shuijing looked at the changes in the second level of the Eastern Capital and said, "The prince should know that today, besides the emperor, Qiu is the most powerful person in the Eastern Capital."

Yuan Chongshan smiled and said, "I know. Mr. Shuijing studied abroad and should know that the new school is far superior to Emperor Yuan Shuo's school of thought. After returning from studying abroad, Mr. Shuijing also vigorously promoted the new school. However, today, Mr. Shuijing's actions have left me somewhat puzzled. I wonder if Mr. Shuijing can explain?"

Qiu Shuijing glanced behind him, and behind the two of them were the officials under Prime Minister Wen's command, such as the censors, the chief clerks, and the recorders!

In addition to these civil and military officials, there were also several Nine Ministers, each with their own small court-like civil and military officials!

If one wanted to serve as an official in Emperor Yuan Shuo's reign, regardless of whether they were civil or military, their cultivation level had to be high. Everyone who could climb to this level could establish themselves in their respective regions!

More importantly, these officials often came from the major aristocratic families, including those from the local aristocratic families and those from the Eastern Capital, who controlled various resources and formed interest groups.

So many experts stood there, motionless and silent, giving people a feeling of a dark cloud pressing down on the city, about to destroy it.

But beside Qiu Shuijing, there was only his maid, Shao Ying. He had hundreds of officials under his command, whether it was as the Minister of Rites or the Imperial Censor, but he did not bring any of them, only his maid.

Shao Ying had been with him for many years, never leaving his side.Shao Ying glanced at the officials and then at Qiu Shuijing, feeling a mix of emotions. "Only this man can control the situation now. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to handle it!"

"All divine abilities in the world are built upon knowledge. The civilization of Yuanshuo was built upon the foundation of old learning. The old sages taught people to seek the way and govern the country based on this principle of putting people first."

Qiu Shuijing said, "Western civilization used to learn from Yuanshuo, but later established a new school because they were ashamed of their ancestors' learning from Yuanshuo. Therefore, their civilization is based on seeking the way from the divine and governing the country based on this principle of putting the divine first. There is no superiority between the old and new schools, but if this way of governing the country continues, there will be problems."

Yuan Zhongshan furrowed his brow and pondered.

Qiu Shuijing looked at him with disappointment. "You are too shallow and don't understand anything."

He turned his head and glanced at the chief historian Lu Gongshuang and others behind him, feeling even more disappointed. He sneered, "You don't understand either! These children who hold power in the court and try to overturn the world are the cause of the country's downfall. They must be demons!"

"Qiu Shuijing!"

Hundreds of high-ranking officials were furious and stepped forward.

At that moment, Su Yun's hand was on Lu Yunong's face, slamming him to the ground.

Lu Gongshuang's eyes twitched with worry.

Other officials rushed forward and stood at the edge of the palace, looking down.

"My son Yan Dan has strong cultivation and can definitely kill this beast!" Wei Cao Yan shouted from the back hall.

In the Imperial Palace in Beijing, Su Yun walked towards Wen Yanfeng and Yuan Wuji. Yan Dan, the son of Wei Cao Yan, attacked from behind and used the unique divine ability of the Yan family, the Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens!

His divine ability approached Su Yun from behind, but he was completely unaware of it. Yan Dan couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but at that moment, Su Yun stepped back and thrust his right elbow backwards!

"Bang!"

Yan Dan's Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens was magnificent, but only half a clock-shaped piece appeared, which directly crushed it.

Yan Dan's chest caved in with a cracking sound, his ribs broke one by one, and he flew out, crashing into a building hundreds of feet away!

The building suddenly sank half an acre in size, and Yan Dan was embedded in it, motionless.

Su Yun walked on the cloud bridge, with high-ranking officials' children on both sides of the corridor, and at the end were Yuan Wuji and Wen Yanfeng.

Suddenly, Tao Yun, the son of the Prime Minister's minor historian, activated his divine ability. The corridor exploded, and Tao Yun spat out blood and flew out while flailing his arms and legs.

There was another cracking sound on the corridor, and the face of the East Auditor Yuan behind Qiu Shuijing turned iron blue. His eldest daughter Wei Xiuqing was kicked out by Su Yun and a half-clock-shaped wall appeared on her foot, directly smashing her onto the long bridge hundreds of feet away!

Su Yun moved forward like a hungry tiger. In just a short moment, Huang Qingke, the son of the Jingzhao Prefect Huang Lufang, was beaten and fell from the sky, landing on the street.

Yan Ji, the son of the Duwei Yan Gong, hid behind a pillar, preparing to launch a sneak attack, but was punched through the pillar by Su Yun. His head tilted to one side and he flew out, spinning.

Qiu Yun Gu, the daughter of the Long Chief Autumn Siyi, ran away and floated in the air with a ribbon. She flew along the long bridge at a very fast speed, but the next moment, her clothes were in disarray, and she screamed as she crashed into a building.

The woman fell into the building, and the sound of impact kept coming, but she never walked out again.Behind Qiu Shuijing, many high-ranking officials in the Eastern Capital had grim faces, clenching their fists and grinding their teeth.

At this moment, Su Yun had already walked up to Wen Yanfeng, the son of Prime Minister Wen Guanshan.

"Why doesn't Young Master Yanfeng run away or surrender? What do you intend to do?" Su Yun asked.

Wen Yanfeng smiled and said, "My father is a great sage of the miscellaneous school..."

Su Yun punched out, and a loud clang was heard as a yellow bell appeared around his fist, with layers of scales growing crazily!

Wen Yanfeng leaped backwards and laughed loudly, "The Wen family's supreme art is taught by Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and the three schools, and I have also studied new knowledge. It is far beyond the reach of other noble families! I have also been studying in Daqin since I was young, and I have seen the sword arts of great sages. Watch my divine power and sword art!"

His sword light was dazzling, forming a majestic and magnificent scene with countless flying swords intersecting each other!

Su Yun punched out, causing the yellow bell to vibrate and collide with the sword light, shattering countless flying swords.

Wen Yanfeng took another step back, his blood and energy surging, causing his hair ribbon to burst with a snap, and he laughed loudly, "Su Shi, who can fight the emperor to a draw, is indeed extraordinary, almost on par with me!"

Su Yun ignored him and punched again.

Wen Yanfeng blocked the punch again, but took another step back. Su Yun punched again, using the same move.

Wen Yanfeng changed his move and blocked again, his blood and energy in turmoil, his face turning red, and he could no longer laugh.

Su Yun punched forward again and again, with no second move, while Wen Yanfeng changed his moves constantly, but was always suppressed, until he suddenly felt a tightness in his back and leaned against a building wall.

Clang!

The bell rang, and Wen Yanfeng hit the wall of the building, causing it to sink, while a large piece on the back of the building suddenly bulged!

Su Yun punched out again and again, causing the bell to ring and the bricks and stones behind the building to tremble and fall continuously.

Wen Yanfeng spat out blood, his eyes becoming increasingly unfocused.

"Is Lord Su trying to kill him, and will not stop until Prime Minister Wen is dead?" Yuan Wujie's voice came from behind Su Yun.

Su Yun stopped, and Wen Yanfeng fell to his knees with a thump, panting heavily, then fell forward and lay on the ground, his legs twitching before falling again.

Blood dripped from Su Yun's fist, and he turned to Yuan Wujie, asking, "Why doesn't Your Highness run away or surrender? What do you intend to do?"

"You have fought my uncle before, so you should know that my Yuan family has immortal techniques," Yuan Wujie said, his hands hanging down steadily, his eyes lowered. "Our immortal techniques require extremely strong physical bodies. If the body is not strong enough, using them without permission may result in death, which is why I went abroad to study. A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade. I studied the knowledge of overseas saints at the Sword Tower, so I can use immortal techniques."

Su Yun looked up, his back to Yuan Wujie, and said, "In our last battle, you did not use immortal techniques. Do you want to try now?"

Yuan Wujie's breath rose sharply, becoming extremely terrifying, and he said in a deep voice, "I want to try!"

Su Yun's blood and energy suddenly surged, and in an instant, his blood and energy flowed into his right arm at a speed a hundred times faster than usual!At the same time, Su Yun could feel the burst of Yuan Wuji's blood and the activation of the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Technique, like the strongest attack ever launched by the five emperors in history!

The collision of their divine abilities caused the Xianjian Zhan Yaolong and the Five Elements to merge and collide, causing the surrounding long bridge to collapse and the buildings to be destroyed!

Su Yun and Yuan Wuji involuntarily retreated backwards, stepping on air, with various wing-shaped patterns appearing under their feet to keep their bodies light.

Su Yun learned the runic symbols from Ying Ying, which were used to transform into wings, while Yuan Wuji should have learned the application of runic symbols from the overseas sword pavilion.

Suddenly, the sword light rose again, and Su Yun came through the air, once again using the Xianjian Zhan Yaolong!

The two collided again!

As soon as they separated, Su Yun came back again, still using the Xianjian Zhan Yaolong!

Yuan Wuji used the Five Elements Immortal Technique five times, and his right arm suddenly burst, with flesh and blood scattered all over, and his violent blood rushed him into a state of confusion. After barely resisting Su Yun's sixth move, Xianjian Zhan Yaolong, he finally spewed blood from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, fell backwards, and lost consciousness.

Su Yun dissipated his aura and walked past him, kicking Yuan Wuji and shaking his head, saying, "Much stronger than Di Ping back then, but still a little brother."

He walked on the void and headed towards Qiuyun Gao and others who were watching from a high place.

Qiuyun Gao's face changed slightly, and he turned around and left, saying quickly, "Mu Zijun, Yu Qingluo, let's avoid the sharp edge for now!"
