Embers of Sword

Chapter 211 Ancient Battlefield

The phoenix fire directly hits the soul.

Under severe pain.

In the empty heart of Qing Falcon, fragmented scenes were reflected...

So hot, so burning, so familiar.

The memories in his mind were cleared.

But this pain... is remembered firmly by the body.

"This is, Phoenix Fire?"

Qing Falcon stared at the young man in front of him.

He recalled the scene of the fight in the courtyard of Lotus Peak, and it seemed that he was attacked by the Phoenix Fire.

But why.

Can Xie Zhen use Phoenix Fire?

"..."

Of course, Xie Xuanyi would not answer any of Qing Xun's questions.

This heavy sword pierced through Qing Falcon's head, sending out countless sparks.

Phoenix fire invades the lungs!

Xie Xuanyi knew how difficult it was to kill the Yin God with the Cave Heaven Realm.

but……

Qing Falcon is an exception. Because of the "Fire Devouring", he is now on his last breath.

After the Phoenix Fire entered the body.

The "Fire Devouring" of this innate Fire Saint Body reached its peak at this moment——

The sword was packed with tremendous force, forcing Qing Falcon to kneel down, with his hands pressed to the ground, and he howled in pain.

"Ugh..."

Xie Xuanyi's face was solemn and he clasped his hands together again.

Roaring flames!

At this moment, the killing power of the Little Phoenix Fire Formation converged and merged into one! Thousands of sword energies were injected into the heavy armor!
The entire snow mountain was shattered by the heavy sword and slowly collapsed, with an endless torrent of snow rushing in all directions.

Red light radiated from their bodies, transforming into a large sphere with a radius of one hundred feet.

The torrent of snow caused by the collapse of the snow mountain crashed into the red sphere and was ignited in an instant, turning into hot steam, like a series of divine clouds.

"Boom!"

Qing Falcon knelt on the ground with a ferocious look on his face, enduring the pain of the heavy sword piercing his sea of ​​mind.

The flowing flames outlined the winding and cracked glaze patterns on his heavy armor, like a piece of fragile porcelain.

It's more like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

The Fire Scale Armor could have suppressed the "Fire Devouring" of the Fire Saint Body, but the external Phoenix Fire destroyed this balance... He no longer had the energy to think at this moment, and could only raise his head with all his strength, staring at the black-clothed boy in front of him with a pair of scarlet eyes.

In Qing Falcon's world, there is only this one figure.

Xie Xuanyi and Qing Falcon looked at each other.

His expression was calm as he continued to release his sword intent.

This battle.

It seems like a "crush".

But actually...it’s not the case.

What is the biggest difference between Dongtian and Yinshen?
Road!
To be promoted to Yin God, one needs to complete the cave and then condense the Dao...

But the condensation of Tao is actually a "slow" process.

There are some cultivators, although their cave heaven is perfect, but they are extremely slow in "comprehending the great Dao". After a year or two, they can only comprehend a small part of the Dao and cannot form a complete great Dao... In this way, they can be regarded as the so-called "half-step Yin God", half a foot has stepped into the threshold of Yin God, and half a foot has transcended the cave heaven!
Don't underestimate this ray of Tao.

Even an incomplete road possesses extremely powerful force.

The truth that Xie Xuanyi comprehended back then was just one word.

destroy.

The way of destruction.

He had walked this path before. Theoretically speaking, it would only take a very short time to comprehend and condense the Dao...

But he did not choose to do so, because in this life, he wanted to practice two sword arts at the same time.

The first master had reminded himself before in Xuanshui Cave Heaven.

The way of this world has both yin and yang, and only when the two coexist can it be complete.

same.

Where there is death, there is birth.

If possible...Xie Xuanyi wants to comprehend the "Way of Life".

If one can attain enlightenment through both birth and death and achieve the status of a Yin God, then he will definitely be an extremely powerful Yin God!

The "Way of Destruction" that he had comprehended that year, now became Xie Xuanyi's biggest trump card to ambush and kill Qing Falcon. There were already rays of divine mist gushing out from under the Fire Scale Armor, ready to explode at any time, but Xie Xuanyi contained the incomplete "Way of Destruction" in the sword intent he slashed out.

After being promoted to the Cave Heaven.

He has been trying to figure out how to condense the "Principle of Destruction" and make it as refined as possible without becoming a Yin God.

Fragments of the Tao.

It can only be condensed to 90% at most.

More, this road will be considered complete.

What Xie Xuanyi was using at this moment was the condensed "ninety percent" of the Dao of Destruction. To use this level of Dao was extremely burdensome for his current body, and it required a lot of control over the strength.

It is precisely because these nearly perfect, yet incomplete, principles are contained in the sword energy.

Only Xie Xuanyi could completely suppress Qing Falcon——

This is actually a "battle of surrender". If there is a problem in any link of this killing game that he has set up, Qing Falcon will "go berserk".

and.

It is easy to subdue a green falcon, but difficult to kill it.

Xie Xuanyi knew very well that even with the suppression of the Dao, the injuries Qing Falcon had suffered so far, although serious, might not be "fatal".

The two fell to the ground from the top of the snowy mountain.

Because the sword intent of the Phoenix Fire Formation was too sharp, after the long sword pierced through Qing Falcon, the Way of Destruction cut the entire earth in half, tearing a long and narrow crack.

After the ground cracked, a chasm like an abyss appeared.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart...but this bad premonition did not come from Qing Falcon.

It is said that the Ghost Ridge was once a mass grave.

Countless wronged souls are buried beneath the heavy snow.

After the snow mountain was shattered, a strong evil spirit surged out and turned into bursts of black smoke that was visible to the naked eye!
"Heh...hehehe..."

A deep laugh burst out from Qing Falcon's mouth.

obviously.

He also noticed the strangeness of the abyss below.

The rumors about the Ghost Ridge have never been confirmed. If this is really an ancient battlefield... it is filled with evil spirits, and ordinary cultivators who step in will only die.

Even the Yin God may not be able to leave "alive"!

Qing Falcon, who was unable to stand up due to the pressure of the sword, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Xie Zhen coldly.

The meaning of this glance is very clear.

If this sword is swung down again, both of them will fall into the abyss together!

"..."

Xie Xuanyi hesitated for just a moment before making a decision.

He looked at Qing Falcon and said seriously, word by word: "Today, I will kill you!"

The Phoenix Fire Sword once again burst into brilliant flames.

Like a spear, it carried the green falcon and crashed into the dark chasm.

Xie Xuanyi, the caster of the spell, also fell down with Qing Falcon. The huge red spherical area with a radius of one hundred feet was hit by countless evil spirits and shrunk rapidly from one hundred feet to fifty feet, and then to thirty feet... In just a few breaths, it shrank to a ten-foot range that could only cover the two of them.

Xie Xuanyi stepped on Qing Falcon's broken heavy armor chest. He used his divine consciousness to control the Phoenix Fire and pierced Qing Falcon's divine sea.

At the same time, he pulled out Spring Breeze and Wild Grass with both hands again and stabbed them into Qing Falcon's chest.

Then there was a loud "bang"!
Two figures fell to the ground, splashing countless smoke and dust!

The impact of falling to the ground was enormous.

Even though he was falling on the Green Falcon, the heavy impact still made Xie Xuanyi groan.

The Phoenix Fire finally burned out and slowly dissipated.

Xie Xuanyi exhaled a deep breath. The umbrella sheath and long sword he held tightly in his hands had already pierced deeply into Qing Falcon's body, leaving only the hilt outside.

It can be seen how deep this sword is.

But even so.

Qing Falcon is still not "dead".

The broken heavy armor fell off like petals, and a body that was burnt to charcoal was still struggling and squirming.

The three swords pierced through his soul and body respectively.

But at this moment, in the silent abyss, a slight vibration can still be heard.

This is the sound of a beating heart.

"It's so hard to kill..."

Even Xie Xuanyi, who had killed countless people, sighed from the bottom of his heart.

This is the end.

It’s no longer difficult to kill the Yin Spirit.

Qing Falcon is definitely a special case.

The only thing that has kept him alive until now is "will".

What on earth had this guy been through? Why was his will to survive so strong?

Just...want to live?

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of breaking gradually overwhelmed the sound of the heartbeat.

The charred skin was really shattered like porcelain. The Phoenix Fire completely ignited the body. This Yin Shen Realm Lihuo Saint Body was no longer able to suppress the fire and could only let the fire in his internal organs burn on his body surface... Xie Xuanyi's sword energy became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Qing Falcon raised his head and wanted to say something.

But finally.

His movements stopped at this moment and froze.

The soul is shattered and the body is destroyed.

I can’t die any more…

Xie Xuanyi looked at the withered and dead man with mixed feelings. The series of battles after the Jiageng crashed were nothing.

Only this battle made him feel "tired".

The Jia Geng was full of evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang, the Tiangui Sect’s genius, the dragon girl from the demon clan, and the Chiling City’s death warriors...

Added together.

It is far less difficult than this battle.

Qing Falcon was unable to launch a single attack until his death... In order to suppress this half-crippled Yin Shen Venerable, Xie Xuanyi expended a great deal of energy.

"It's still too strenuous for Dongtian to fight against Yin Shen."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and put aside all distracting thoughts.

If I had only practiced the way of the sword... and ascended to the Yin God at the fastest speed, this battle would certainly not have been so troublesome.

Just that.

What's the point of living again?
"I want to find the God Fruit as soon as possible, forge a perfect golden body, and shape it into a divine fetus..."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head, ready to control his energy to leave this broken abyss.

But the next moment.

His movements were slightly stiff.

The place above where the fall had occurred was completely dark, without any light at all.

Xie Xuanyi's expression turned ugly. He pulled out the spring breeze grass and flew with his Qi, but after only a hundred feet, he reached the "top".

The cracked abyss was actually mended.

A layer of dark evil spirit shrouded it.

Xie Xuanyi flicked his fingers and slashed with sword energy, breaking the evil spirit, and then quickly gathered it back... This sword could cut out dozens of feet, but the black evil condensed into the sky at this moment was at least hundreds of feet, and might even be thicker!

"The evil spirit of Ghost Ridge has formed a natural formation..."

Xie Xuanyi watched the scene carefully.

The evil energy flows backwards from the outside to the inside and is not affected.

But I want to leave.

It is extremely difficult.

Xie Xuanyi frowned and waved his sleeves. The body of the Green Falcon on the ground suddenly trembled, and the broken pieces of the Fire Scale Armor were taken by him.

"go with!"

He injected a ray of sword intent into the fragments of the Fire Scale Armor, and then shot it out with a wave of his sleeve.

Boom.

This fragment shot out like a sharp arrow.

After Xie Xuanyi injected his sword intent into it, the power of this fragment suddenly increased, like opening up the sea, breaking through layers of evil spirit.

But the moment of crashing into the sea of evil.

The light of the Fire Scale Fragment dimmed at an extremely fast speed.

"Evil spirit will corrode everything."

Xie Xuanyi looked at this scene, pondered for a moment, and gave up the idea of curing his serious illness and trying to defeat the Black Evil.

He was not sure how far Chen Kuang could strike with all his strength, and whether he could completely destroy the black evil.

But he was sure of one thing.

If he attacks the Black Evil with his serious illness, and fails to succeed in one go, it is very likely that his own flying sword will be corroded by a large amount of evil energy on the way back...

Xie Xuanyi fell back again.

He looked at the darkness all around him and tried to release his divine consciousness.

The black evil is like fog, blocking the earth.

Even the divine consciousness was greatly restricted.

"The rumors about the ancient battlefield of Ghost Ridge are actually true..."

Xie Xuanyi was a little surprised.

He knew that a thousand years ago, an extremely brutal battle had broken out outside the border of the Da Chu Dynasty.

It’s just that the “ancient history” from thousands of years ago has been destroyed.

It is impossible to verify what this battle represents.

The area around Ghost Ridge was covered with heavy snow, not to mention any traces of war. Many years ago, the monk Da Chu came here to dig, but did not find even a trace of blood.

Many people say.

This ancient battlefield has been flattened by great magic power.

The past is the past.

But looking at it now... the past of this ancient battlefield has not been erased, it is only obscured by evil spirits and fog.

Xie Xuanyi decided to take a look at what this ancient battlefield from thousands of years ago looked like.

Before leaving.

He used his divine sense to examine the wreckage of the Green Falcon.

This Yinshen Venerable had almost no valuables on him. Apart from the broken fire scale armor, there was nothing left.

Even Xie Xuanyi felt that this Qing Falcon was really pitiful.

After all, he is the special envoy of the Imperial City and an important figure working for the Queen Mother.

With all the money he had, he was still too poor.
