Eternal Sword

Chapter 699 The Power of a Sword
Shadow City, located in the heart of Hermit Continent, is surrounded by heavy fog and rugged terrain.

The entrance is hidden in a dense forest, with only a narrow path leading into the city.

The trail is lined with thorns and vines, and you'll fall into a trap if you're not careful.

There is also a huge stone door at the entrance, which can only be opened through a specific mechanism.

Behind the stone gate is a winding tunnel filled with various mechanisms and traps, such as hidden arrows, rolling stones and flaps. Anyone who attempts to break in by force will face deadly danger.

In the past few days, the number of hermits in Shadow City has increased significantly.

"It is said that the former ghost has returned, killed many people along the way, and has entered the city."

"Yes, Guiyin does have some tricks up her sleeve. None of the Shangyin who surrounded her were spared."

"I heard that even Tianyin died."

"Now, the elder who passed on his skills has passed away, leaving a vacant position for the elder. I heard that all twelve building owners have come. Whoever can catch Guiyin will be a strong contender for the fifth elder."

In the Shadow Building, there were many hermits sitting in groups of three or four, and the lobby was already full.

The hermits relaxed for a rare moment and talked in low voices.

After all, assassinations are prohibited in the Shadow Building.

"What kind of cultivation is this Guiyin? How can he be so powerful?"

A man next to him asked in a hoarse voice, somewhat curiously.

"I heard it's only a third-grade Tongmai."

A hermit said: "But, she is Guiyin, the king among hermits! Moreover, she knows all the methods of hermits. Hermits of the same level have no chance of winning against her."

"What happened to the death of the elder who passed on the skills?"

The man asked again.

"Don't you know yet?"

The hermit said, "The original elder who taught the skills of our clan died a long time ago, and was replaced by a master called Mingyue Sanren from Tianhuzhou. That Guiyin is his disciple."

"It is said that this person was once an Immortal Slayer under Emperor Wu, and is also a member of the Dongyi tribe. Hehe, and this person also had an affair with the previous proprietress of the Shadow Building in Qianzhu City."

The man asked, "How did this person get exposed?"

"Two years ago, Chen Tang and Fairy Yudi caused a great disturbance in Qianzhu City. Countless hermits were killed or injured. They fled to Tianhu Continent and finally escaped back to Nanxia. This incident has already attracted the attention of the clan leader."

The hermit said: "Shangguan Caiyun is in charge of Qianzhu City. She cannot be separated from this big incident. The clan leader interrogated her and found the flaws!"

At this moment, the owner of Shadow Building, Youying Building Master, suddenly raised his head, stared at the man who had just asked the question, smiled meaningfully, and said, "You are different from other people in the city. You don't seem to be very interested in Guiyin, but more interested in Mingyue Sanren."

The man was slightly startled and said, "I'm just asking a few questions."

"hehe."

The owner of the Ghost Shadow Tower chuckled and said, "In the Hermit Continent today, there is only one person who is not interested in ghost hiding."

The man had a blank expression on his face and asked, "Who?"

"Ghost hides himself."

The owner of the Shadow Tower said dimly.

Upon hearing this, the man moved, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, and rushed towards the entrance of Shadow Building!
The moment he was about to reach the door, his eyes blurred and he saw another person in front of him.

"Little girl, why are you so anxious?"

The man smiled slightly and shook his wrist, and a cold light appeared between the two of them!

The sword energy gushed out.

And it is the innate true qi!
The man's pupils shrank slightly, and he stopped immediately, rolling over to dodge.

Stab it!

His shirt was torn on his chest, revealing a huge hole.

Although he dodged the blade, he was still nearly cut by the knife.

The person blocking the door was actually the hermit who had just answered him!
Second grade innate!

This person has been eyeing him for a long time!

The innate master at the door reached out and wiped his face, took off the mask, revealing a thin face with gloomy eyes. He was one of the twelve building masters, the Xuanying building master.

"Guiyin, show your true face, you can't get away."

In the lobby, two more people stood up, blocked the man's escape route, and took off their masks at the same time.

The owner of Fanmeng Tower, the owner of Nianyun Tower.

Including the owner of the Shadow Tower, there are already four owners of the Shadow Tower sitting in the lobby of this Shadow Tower!
The four Tianyins each occupied a position of terrain, surrounded the man, and blocked all his escape routes.

The other hermits in the hall retreated one after another and gave up the battlefield.

The man shook his head slightly, and the mask on his face disappeared mysteriously, revealing a delicate face, but his eyes were gray, cold and lifeless, without any emotional fluctuations. It was the Guiyin Ali who had returned from Nanxia.

"It's really you!"

The owner of Xuanying Tower snorted.

The owner of the Ghost Shadow Tower smiled faintly and said, "We have noticed you for a long time, but we heard that Guiyin is a mute girl, and you can speak. We were never sure, so Xuanying spoke to test it out."

"Let's capture him without mercy."

The owner of Xuanying Tower said: "If you save your life, you may have a chance to meet your master. Otherwise, you will die here and gain nothing."

Ali said nothing, but moved his hands, and the two shadow daggers were already in his palms, without any fear.

Although she knew that she had no chance of winning against the combined forces of the four Tianyin.

But she is a ghost and will never surrender without a fight!

"Stubborn!"

The owner of Xuanying Tower shouted softly and was about to step forward to take action when suddenly a loud noise came from behind him!
Boom!

The door of Shadow Building was smashed by a huge force, and a tall and burly figure rushed in and directly hit the owner of Xuanying Building, knocking him flying and falling heavily on the opposite wall!
Blood kept flowing out of the mouth of the owner of Xuanying Tower, his eyes were wide open, and his whole body was almost shattered by this huge force. Like a piece of paper, he slid down the wall softly.

A trail of bright red blood was left behind, and he was dead!

Everyone present's face changed!
Tianyin, who was at the second level of the innate realm, was actually hit to death by someone?
Who is coming and what is his cultivation level?
Ali looked at the figure at the door that she was very familiar with. The emptiness and indifference in her eyes gradually dissipated, and a wisp of mist gradually rose.

"I heard someone bullied you."

Chen Tang grinned and said, "I'm here to support you."

"It's him, Chen Tang!"

Among the crowd, a hermit recognized Chen Tang and exclaimed.

After all, Chen Tang had caused a month-long bloody storm in Qianzhu City, killing people to the point where no one dared to assassinate him.

"It's you?"

The Shadow Tower Master narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "You dare to come back?"

As the Lord of Shadow Tower spoke, he gestured, asking his subordinates to pass the news from this place to Shadow Castle as soon as possible.

That is the place where the Hidden Sect practices.

As soon as he made the gesture, he caught a glimpse of a knife flash before his eyes.

too fast!
In all his years of practice, he had never seen such a fast knife.

puff!

Blood mist gushed out.

The head of the Shadow Tower Master flew high into the air.

The remaining two building owners were horrified and quickly used the Five Elements Escape Technique, making use of the surrounding terrain and light to instantly conceal their tracks and disappear.

"Little tricks."

Chen Tang chuckled and waved his hand.

The sword flashes again!
puff puff!

Two streams of blood suddenly gushed out.

The next moment, two bloody heads rolled out from the empty place. They were the corpses of the owners of Fanmeng and Nianyun! If Chen Tang's soul had not recovered, these five elements escape techniques might be able to confuse his vision.

But now, his soul is so powerful that it can be compared with the great masters in the state of transformation.

The concealment skills of several Tianyins could not be hidden from him at all!

"Let's go."

Chen Tang stepped forward, took Ali's wrist, and left the Shadow Building.

Ali followed Chen Tang very obediently.

At this moment, she actually felt an unprecedented peace of mind.

It seemed that as long as she stayed with Chen Tang, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

The commotion here alarmed countless hermits in the Shadow City.

For a moment, the sound of clothes tearing through the air could be heard from all directions.

Figures shuttled between the eaves and alleys, swarming towards this place.

When Chen Tang and the other person walked out of the Shadow Building, many hermits had already gathered around them.

They stared at Chen Tang with cold eyes, waiting for an opportunity and eager to try.

Ali suddenly felt a chill and shuddered. He came to his senses and reminded, "Be careful. There are alleys everywhere in the city. They are intricate and have many hidden corners. Each one is a favorable terrain for assassination."

"Although I have been to Shadow City several times, I have to be extremely careful every time I walk in the city."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Tang smiled slightly, looked around, and saw more and more hermits, and said: "Won't you guys make way?"

Whoosh whoosh!
From the crowd, hidden weapons shot out, of various kinds, in all shapes and sizes, densely packed, coming from all directions, overwhelming the sky!

Chen Tang snorted coldly, and suddenly purple-gold divine light burst out from his body!
This ball of divine light enveloped Ali as well.

Thousands of hidden weapons were thrown at them, but they only touched the purple-gold divine light slightly and then fell quickly, without being able to hurt Chen Tang and A Li at all.

Not to mention the hidden weapons released by these hermits, even the flying sword of Yuanying Zhenjun would find it difficult to pierce Chen Tang's body!
Seeing the scene around him, Ali still felt a little uneasy.

After all, this is the Hermit Island’s lair.

It is no exaggeration to say that the most powerful hermits of the Dongyi tribe are all in the city.

There are more and more hermits around, it seems like thousands!
The four elders of Fenghuoshanlin might even be hiding in the crowd!
Just as Ali was daydreaming, Chen Tang made another move.

He placed the "Wan Gu" across his waist, spun it in a circle, and used the "Sweeping the World" sword technique.

Stab it!

A twenty-zhang long purple-gold blade light shot out from the blade of the 'Wan Gu' sword, pierced into the crowd, and instantly tore the crowd apart!

The next moment, this terrifying blade light swirled and swept around Chen Tang.

Blood mist filled the air.

In an instant, all the hermits within a radius of twenty feet were cut in half by Chen Tang's sword!

Rumble!
The buildings within twenty feet were also cut off by Chen Tang's sword. They could not hold up and collapsed with a loud bang.

With just one strike, the area within twenty feet was reduced to ruins!
This is the power that sweeps across the world!

Standing far away, the hermits who had luckily escaped the disaster saw this scene and were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their souls left their bodies.

The power of a sword is so terrifying!
Normally, after entering the first level, the Grandmaster can release martial arts such as sword light and knife light.

However, even for a peak Grandmaster, the sword and knife aura he released could only reach a maximum of ten feet.

Chen Tang was also cultivating his body and Qi at the same time, and when he was in the Innate Realm, he had already cultivated the Qi Radiance.

After his soul recovered and he entered the Grandmaster stage, his innate true Qi became even stronger.

Even if it does not merge with the qi and blood, it can still stimulate the sword light.

If it were to merge with the blood, qi and flesh, the released purple-gold blade light would reach a terrifying range of twenty feet!
With this one strike, it almost wiped out all the enemies!

With Ali's personality, he was a little stunned.

She had only practiced assassination and concealment techniques, and had never seen this kind of martial arts.

Even though Mingyue Sanren is a master, he has not cultivated to this level.

No matter the complex terrain, dark corners, or narrow alleys, with one cut, they are all razed to the ground!
In addition to these hermits exposed outside, there are countless hermits hiding in the dark and corners who died on the spot without knowing what happened!

"Let's go."

Chen Tang took Ali's hand and walked towards Shadow Castle.

Wow!
Accompanied by a flurry of messy footsteps, the originally densely packed hermits suddenly opened up a path and moved out of the way, hiding at least twenty feet away.
-
Shadow Castle.

In the meeting hall.

The four great elders of Fenghuoshanlin sat on both sides of the hall. Mingyue Sanren was pale, kneeling in the middle of the hall, looking up at the front.

The location directly above the center was in shadow and looked empty.

But Mingyue Sanren was always looking there.

Mingyue Sanren said in a deep voice: "Let them and their son go, I will give my life to you."

"hehe."

A strange chuckle came from the empty seat above, "What use do I have for your life?"

"I locked you up together, made you lose your minds, and made Shangguan give birth to this baby. I want to train this child of yours to become the most powerful hermit of the Dongyi tribe!"

"I will instill hatred in this child from a young age. One day, I will let your child kill you with his own hands. This will be my punishment for you!"

The voice from the empty seat was erratic, but every word was extremely vicious.

Mingyue Sanren's face looked grim and his body was shaking slightly.

He couldn't imagine what kind of torture this child would endure if he fell into the hands of the Hidden Sect.

"Report——"

A hurried voice came from outside.

Yin Zong frowned.

He was putting pressure on Mingyue Sanren and was about to defeat him psychologically, but he was interrupted. He couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"What's the matter?"

Yin Zong asked slowly.

Whatever the visitor said was not enough to make him come forward, so this guard was a dead man!
"Chen Tang is here!"

The guard panted and said, "Originally, the four building owners had blocked Guiyin in Yingzi Building and were ready to capture him. But Chen Tang suddenly appeared and killed the four building owners with just a few swords!"

"Before the Shadow Tower Master died, he asked me to come and report. I dare not delay."

"Such a small matter..."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Yin Zong's voice.

The next moment, the guard's body suddenly split in the middle, blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground, and he died on the spot!

No one saw how the Hidden Sect made its move.

Even the four elders Fenghuoshanlin in the main hall did not notice it.

"Report——"

At this moment, another voice came from outside, more anxious than before.

"Again?"

Yin Zong was a little impatient.

In the hall, the murderous aura was rising!
"what happened?"

Elder Feng frowned slightly, stood up and asked.

　Two in one, go to bed early
