Embers of Sword

Chapter 221: Tianjiao, Witch, and Iron Cavalry
A beam of empty energy shot out a hundred feet away.

The long, empty street suddenly exploded into a long series of spider-web cracks. Xie Sheng was hit by the arrow, and his back hit a wall, causing countless smoke and dust to explode!

The centurion, who was as big as a mountain, pulled the reins tightly, turned his horse around, locked his aura, drew his long sword, and began to charge.

Rumble!
The small street was suddenly filled with the sound of dense horse hooves!
The momentum of this one person is greater than that of a hundred riders!
"Form a formation! Attack!"

Yuwen Zhong shouted angrily, clasped his hands together, and his whole body was burning with red flames.

Their goal was to hunt down and kill this ancient Black Evil General!

After following and observing for several days, the three found that the cavalry wandering in this dilapidated ancient city did not seem to be as powerful as the one they had encountered in the previous Black Evil...

This is actually a good opportunity to take action!

If you kill this ancient general, you can get the black box and gain a great fortune!

Now that we’ve been discovered, it’s time to start a war!
"on!"

Fang Hang no longer hesitated. He tightened his thunder magic, summoned the lightning, and chopped down at the ancient black evil general!

boom!
The sky above the main city was covered with dark clouds, and in an instant, raindrops began to fall.

A huge bolt of lightning struck the centurion commander!
The burly general riding a giant horse, covered in armor that shone brightly under the lightning, aimed his sword at the place where the thunder was coming from!

This is the Kingdom of Dayue.

It’s not the ancient battlefield of Black Evil.

The strength of the centurion was weakened due to the decline of the national defense formation.

But the composition of this body has also changed as a result.

The thousand-man commander in the ancient battlefield was formed by evil spirits. He was afraid of lightning and wanted to avoid contact with Taoism.

But now, in this national defense formation, the captain's body was condensed from vital energy, and with the support of "legitimate" power, he is no longer so afraid of thunder magic!

This knife went straight into the lightning!
Boom!
Thousands of purple rays exploded!

The horse-riding general did not slow down, and with one blow of his sword, he shattered the thunder and rushed towards where the Holy Son of Qiantian Palace was. The next moment, he and his horse appeared in front of Yuwen Zhong, with his sword raised high. The sword's force was like a mountain waterfall, collapsing suddenly!
Although the realm has dropped.

But the killing move used by the centurion still puts people under great pressure!

Veins bulged on Yuwen Zhong’s forehead!
Most of the secret techniques of Qiantian Palace that he was good at needed to be used with the Panxuan Mirror... The most fatal thing was that the Panxuan Mirror contained the power of "Dragonborn". The previous encounter on the ancient battlefield made Yuwen Zhong vaguely guess that these black riders were probably specialized in hunting down "Dragonborn"! Once he used the secret techniques related to Dragonborn, he would definitely be hit by the terrifying Dao rules!

"Eight forbidden things of Qiantian! Doutian!"

Yuwen Zhong took a deep breath, raised his hands, and the vital energy in his body surged out.

He gave up the Panxuan Mirror and used the forbidden techniques of the holy land to fight back!

As the thousand-year-old holy land of Da Chu, it is naturally impossible that Qiantian Palace only has the "Dragon Descendant" magic.

Eight Prohibitions of Qiantian.

Every Holy Son would choose one or two forbidden techniques to practice based on their qualifications and their own cave heaven!
The long street of fog rushed towards Yuwen Zhong at this moment. The Saint of Qiantian suddenly released a huge suction force.

The sword of the centurion commander of the Dayue Kingdom fell like a rainbow, and because of the suction force, it couldn't help but increase its speed!

Just as the sword was about to chop down Yuwen Zhong’s head!
"Rebuke!"

The Holy Son roared.

The fog instantly cleared away like waves, and the entire long street became clear again.

The long sword that was chopped down heavily was blocked and bounced away, and the centurion and his horse fell backwards.

This was a perfect opportunity to kill the captain of a thousand men. Tai Shang Zhai Taoist Fang Hang quickly raised the thunder magic talisman and threw out a small seal from his sleeves.

The seven Taoist sects each have their own strengths.

As the number one sect in the world, the seven main sects each have their own unique skills. Some are good at making talismans, some are good at forming formations, some can observe luck, some can refine puppets, and there are also those who are simply brave and good at fighting... The master of Tianxia Zhai is the one who sits firmly on the top seat among the seven sects, because the master of Tianxia Zhai is often the best fighter.

Tai Shang Zhai is good at thunder magic and is specialized in suppressing evil spirits.

Whenever Tai Shang Zhai goes out, no matter the talismans or treasures he carries with him, they are all related to thunder magic!

This time.

The lightning struck the captain steadily!
The cavalry general, who was enveloped by the national defense formation, had his armor bathed in lightning and roaring. He was knocked back by the lightning and let out a low roar... The ancient general reacted very quickly, calmed down and lay down again, but the horse under his crotch was the first to give up.

A neigh.

The horse's body could not withstand the Tai Shang Zhai thunder method, so it exploded and threw the centurion away.

next moment.

The Tai Shang Zhai Dao Seal grew larger in the air and turned into a small mountain!
"town!"

Fang Hang's eyes were red, and he made hand gestures and cast seals.

This seal that was flashing with lightning swelled up in the wind and really turned into an upside-down mountain, smashing down towards the ancient general!

The centurion who was thrown out reacted very quickly. He pressed the ground with one hand to steady his body and was about to stand up. Suddenly, his vision went dark. The next moment, the magic seal fell like a mountain, carrying thousands of lightning bolts. Endless streams of light crackled and shook in all directions like a tide!
"Tsk..."

Even Xie Xuanyi, who was standing in the ruins, couldn't help but sigh.

Taoism indeed has a profound foundation.

The action taken by this Taoist Tai Shang Zhai was powerful and should not be underestimated.

The little girl Qingli who was standing next to Xie Xuanyi was even more stunned and dazed. The rolling lightning almost covered the entire street. The terrifying momentum was much more terrifying than the boxing and attacking sounds of those evil spirits in Tiesuo Lane on a daily basis.

"..."

The girl grunted and swallowed.

Xie Xuanyi noticed the pale face of the little guy, and couldn't help squatting down, smiling and comforting: "Don't worry, this guy is nothing."

Qingli blinked and looked at Xie Xuanyi, wondering what he was thinking.

This seal fell.

The battle on the long street had already decided the outcome...

In fact.

With the three holy land geniuses taking action, there is no suspense in this battle!
Even if the captain of a thousand men is a "half-step Yin God", he cannot escape the hunting of the three saints who have revealed all their trump cards!

Fang Hang used a magic seal to subdue this ancient black evil general!
The thunder was like a mountain, almost only a line away from the ground...

The burly ancient general knelt on one knee and raised his hands to carry the mountain of thunder on his shoulders. A faint red light seeped out from his dark mask. The pits on the soles of his feet kept exploding with layers of dense spider webs. His head was almost pressed below the ground. The hard black armor kept making crackling sounds under the pressure of the thunder magic. It seemed that it had reached its limit.

Just at this moment, a red sword light flashed from the end of the long street!
The sword light was almost flying close to the ground!

Extremely fast!

In just a moment, it pierced the throat of the ancient Black Evil General!
The sword flashed by!

The Thunder Mountain that was being held tightly and unable to fall suddenly fell down easily...

Bang!
The long street returned to silence.

Xie Sheng, who was hit by an arrow first, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with one hand, recalled his flying sword with the other, and staggered out of the smoke with a gloomy face.

"call……"

Prince Jiangning calmed the blood in his chest and came to the seal.

The huge seal slowly lifted up, revealing a tragic pit where blood was spurting out.

The centurion died in battle.

Blood splattered, staining the surroundings.

But the long box engraved with the black dragon pattern was safe and sound, which showed that it was of solid texture and was a treasure of excellent quality!
"This guy is really tough."

Yuwen Zhongxu narrowed his eyes, feeling relieved.

This strategy was difficult, mainly because Xie Sheng and Yuwen Zhong's secret techniques were all related to "Dragon Descendants" and were difficult to implement.

Fortunately, Tai Shang Zhai Daozi's thunder method was strong enough to suppress and kill it!

In any case, it was successfully won.

"whoosh" sound!
The black box with dragon pattern flew out from the pit and fell into the hands of Fang Hang, a Taoist from Tai Shang Zhai.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are here, why are you being so sneaky?"

Fang Hang released his spiritual thoughts, his face expressionless.

His voice echoed throughout the long street and in every corner.

The reason why the ancient Black Demon General suddenly became furious was because... a stone suddenly rushed out. The three saints all saw the attack of the stone.

But the weird thing is.

No one saw where the stone came from.

The majestic Dharma seal returned to the shoulder of Tai Shang Zhai Daozi and transformed into a palm-sized lightning bolt, which looked extremely creepy.

Qingli nervously grasped Xie Xuanyi's clothes and shook his head.

The meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

These three people are so powerful, why don’t they not go out?
"I'll be back as soon as I go."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and stretched out his hand, patting the little guy on the head. Just as he was about to step out, he suddenly sensed the figure of a "familiar person" at the boundary covered by his spiritual thoughts.

"what?"

The appearance of this figure made Xie Xuanyi take a step back from where he had already taken half a step.

Qingli didn't understand.

She still tightly grasped Xie Xuanyi's sleeve, her heart filled with uneasiness.

"Why is she here?"

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, and his mind fell on the red figure running fast in the fog on the long street!

The figure was incredibly fast and its aura was extremely stealthy.

If Xie Xuanyi’s spiritual realm had not been high enough.

It is impossible to perceive... there is a figure approaching!

The mist is like flowing wind.

Red clothes are like flying flowers.

The face of the man running fast was very pale, but also very stunning. It was a pity that there was murderous intent and coldness in his eyes.

The two had met once before at Ghost Ridge.

That’s right, Ao Ying!
In the battle at Ghost Ridge, Ao Ying used the secret treasure of Chiling City to escape from his hands.

Xie Xuanyi guessed.

This evil woman must have escaped to the Beishou Snow Mountain.

Now it seems that he may have followed Xie Sheng and the others into this place...

Thinking of this, Xie Xuanyi couldn't help but frown.

From this point of view, the snow-capped mountain where he left the mark of sword energy should have been completely exposed.

Before there was the Prince of Jiangning.

Later there was a dragon girl from the demon tribe.

It seems that more people will come here and come to Dayue Junior High School.

He vaguely sensed the danger.

It’s nothing for the young geniuses of Da Chu to step into Dayue Kingdom. Xie Xuanyi doesn’t care about his opponents in the Cave Heaven Realm... If Ao Ying escapes here, will Prince Jiu of Chiling City also step into this place?

Can the three human examiners at the Yin Shen realm stop this demon master who is close to perfection?

If it cannot be stopped, the situation will escalate.

Wouldn't that alarm higher-level combat power? !

"..."

Xie Xuanyi withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it, because the speeding figure was already close to the three human saints.

The fight with him caused Ao Ying's cultivation level to plummet.

Even now, the aura of this demon woman is still bleak...

It seems that he has only recovered the combat power of the fifth or sixth level of the Cave Heaven.

With this level of strength, how dare someone get close to the three cave heaven masters?

Soon, Xie Xuanyi understood the reason.

"Someone is approaching!"

"It's so fast!"

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi was the first to realize that something was wrong!
Xie Sheng's expression also turned ugly: "Wait...it seems there is more than one person!"

A roar came from the long street in the distance!

Everyone is very familiar with this roaring sound!

Outside the ancient city, there are dense evil spirits and the cavalry are charging!

How come there is the sound of cavalry roaring in this dilapidated ancient city?
"These cavalrymen are chasing Ao Ying!"

Xie Xuanyi's pupils contracted.

He immediately understood the reason why Ao Ying rushed towards the three human saints... This guy was a genuine dragon descendant, the most hated existence by the Dayue Nation's Iron Cavalry. Anyone who set foot in this place was destined to suffer endless pursuit. He was afraid that the pursuit would never stop from the moment he stepped into the secret realm!

A red shadow rushed towards the three holy sons at an extremely fast speed.

"What the hell."

Yuwen Zhong threw a punch at the ghostly red shadow, showing no mercy at all.

Even if she had not been injured and her realm had not dropped, Ao Ying would not have chosen to fight head-on... She moved very quickly, slightly sideways, and passed by Yuwen Zhong, while at the same time delivering a palm strike!
"boom!"

The Saint of Qiantian Palace swept his arm across, thinking it would be a powerful counterattack, but the woman did not exert any strength at all, but used this attack to swing away! It was just a flash of contact, and the palm of her hand lightly touched Yuwen Zhong's arm, with a gentle force, just like a "caress"!
"Buzz!"

The Panxuan Mirror between Yuwen Zhong’s eyebrows vibrated violently!

"This witch is of dragon descent!"

The pupils of the Holy Son of Qiantian Palace contracted.

"Dragonborn witch?"

Xie Sheng and Fang Hang were both stunned.

So, the cavalry at the end of the long street are all chasing after the dragon girl?

"and many more……"

Yuwen Zhong suddenly realized something was wrong.

If this witch is a dragonborn.

What about the contact just now?

He lowered his head and looked at his numb arm.

After coming into contact with Ao Ying, the Panxuan Mirror between her eyebrows could not stop shaking. The slight "touch" just now gave this witch an opportunity.

She seemed to have done something to herself, leaving behind a trace of Dragonborn aura—

Yuwen Zhong spent a lot of effort to suppress the instinct of Panxuan Mirror to leave his body.

But it's too late!
The Holy Son of Qiantian Palace could clearly feel that a part of the murderous intent of the cavalry in the distance fell on his head!

"Thank you, brother!"

At this juncture, Yuwen Zhong did not choose to "sacrifice himself", but grabbed Prince Jiangning, and very loyally separated a part of the dragon breath he had been infected with and sent it to Xie Sheng.

"???"

Prince Jiangning's expression suddenly changed.

The moment Yuwen Zhong grabbed his sleeve, he felt a wisp of dragon-born demonic energy coming over, and at the same time, he also felt the overwhelming murderous intent in the distance!
The two looked at each other.

Xie Sheng's expression was angry and distorted, but he had nothing to say.

"Thank you, brother, you once told me that during this Northern Expedition, you and I will share the good and the bad together."

Yuwen Zhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now... let's escape together!"
