Embers of Sword

Chapter 222 No One Helps
"Yu Wenzhong, you beast!"

Xie Sheng looked angry, but he didn't have time to curse.

The cavalry came like a tide. In an instant, the long street shook and murderous intent boiled over!
As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone runs away.

nowadays.

The Holy Son of Qiantian Palace is in trouble and wants to drag himself into it!
"Escape first!"

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi spoke in a deep voice.

Yuwen Zhong rushed in the opposite direction without saying a word. He only passed the demonic energy to Xie Sheng. The reason was very simple... Qiantian Palace had been with Xie for many years, and he knew the personality of this Prince of Jiangning too well!

If you don't get rid of this evil spirit.

How could he tie Xie Sheng to his boat?
The most urgent task is to work together to kill the evildoers and escape from the pursuit of the cavalry!

Three figures rushed towards Ao Ying together.

the other side.

Xie Xuanyi, who had watched a good show in the ruins, grabbed Qingli by the collar.

The little guy blinked.

to go?

"We still need two black boxes."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "We should be able to get them all at once."

Although the direction Ao Ying fled was far away from the main city.

But this witch is a dragon!

The Great Moon Nation and the Dragonborn have a deep blood feud... The fact that this witch was hunted down by so many cavalrymen shows how deep the hatred between the two tribes is. It won't be long before a second "Captain of Thousands" comes out to hunt her down, and perhaps she will encounter a stronger existence.

However, Xie Xuanyi was not in a hurry. In this hunt, he was the "hunter" hiding at the end.

The cavalry swept through the ancient city like a tide, advancing layer by layer.

He led the little girl forward slowly and steadily, his mind silently locking onto Ao Ying and the three people who were pursuing them.

……

……

"What kind of skill did this demon girl practice that made her so fast?"

Fang Hang frowned and looked at the red blood line in the distance.

The three of us will do our best.

Unexpectedly, for a moment, I was unable to catch up with the witch!

"How about changing direction?" Yuwen Zhong was worried and glanced at the pursuers behind him.

"How about you change direction alone?"

Xie Sheng sneered: "If you leave, these cavalrymen may be reduced by half!"

The reason why these cavalry are so crazy!
It’s because of the dragon spirit!

It was obvious... this evil woman applied the dragon energy because she hoped that the three of them would help her attract the pursuers and disperse their firepower!

Xie Sheng was unwilling to be the scapegoat no matter what.

Yuwen Zhong had no choice but to give up.

"Wait, this witch, why did she stop?"

suddenly.

The scarlet blood line in front suddenly stopped.

The three saints all felt a pang in their hearts, sensing that something was not right. Although they were young, they had experienced a lot of ups and downs over the years… Most importantly, the Battle of Drinking Poison decades ago had caused great devastation to all the major sects and families, and the cunning and vicious image of the demon race had become deeply rooted in people’s minds.

In this situation, nothing good will happen if you stop for no reason!

"It's an array pattern, an array formation!"

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi was the first to discover that something was wrong.

In the void, he felt the flickering and rustling of the Tao!
This collapsed ruin looks dilapidated, but it hides mysteries and countless laws are flowing...

Someone has already set up a formation here!
This evil woman deliberately fled here... If I were to chase her, I would take these cavalrymen with me and step into the formation together!
"Buzz!"

The entire world began to tremble, and countless red words appeared and flowed in the void.

"It's ancient language! Or it's ancient Dragonborn language!"

Yuwen Zhong, who practiced the skills of the dragon ancestors of Qiantian Palace, recognized the origin of these array patterns!

"What do you mean? Are you saying... this formation pattern land is from a thousand years ago?"

Xie Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"This formation is filled with murderous aura. Xie Sheng, quickly open up the Red Dragon Cave Heaven!"

Yuwen Zhong said solemnly: "I will use the Panxuan Mirror to protect my body, and you and I will protect Brother Fang together!"

Fang Hang quickly stepped back and stood between the two of them.

This collapsed wasteland that had long been razed to the ground suddenly ignited with thousands of scorching dragon characters. These dragon characters were a barrier that reached the sky, and were ignited in a corner of the edge of this thousand-year-old city. Hundreds of cavalrymen who followed closely behind saw the scarlet characters, but did not retreat. Instead, they increased their speed, and with an extremely tragic posture, they brazenly crashed into the hot dragon characters, and then turned into a bunch of burning embers!

"Boom boom boom!"

This picture is extremely shocking.

These iron cavalrymen who were resurrected by the national defense formation had no wisdom, no soul, and only the will to charge and kill!
Not to mention their cultivation realm, which is probably only at the level of a Qi Refiner... They are simply unable to open up the cave to fight against the ten-thousand-degree high temperature Dragon Script Array!

even so.

No one retreated.

Thousands of cavalrymen crashed into the formation like a tide.

It seems tragic, but it is actually terrible.

Due to the successive attacks, dozens of cavalrymen rushed out of the fire array, holding their swords and spears high, and rushed to the front of the three holy sons.

The summoning of the Red Dragon Cave Heaven and the Panxuan Mirror prevented the dragon-patterned fire of this formation from falling directly.

Xie Sheng, Yuwen Zhong and Fang Hang all looked pale as they looked at the scene in front of them.

The cavalry that rushed out of the fire array were all black, with tiny spots of flames burning on them. Even though they were burning here, they still moved forward with a strong determination to die and stabbed with their spears. It was a pity that their flesh and blood bodies could not withstand such a powerful force. After rushing out several feet away, their bodies were shattered. In the end, they just collided lightly with the light emitted by the cave and shattered into millions of pieces.

"This position was left by the Dragonborn thousands of years ago."

Yuwen Zhong looked at this scene with a sigh, "It seems that this ancient country encountered a great war... The Dragonborn and the Iron Cavalry fought, and both suffered heavy losses in the end."

Enter the Great Moon Country.

Even though the three of them did not know ancient Chinese and had not seen the murals, they already had a general idea in their minds.

"This war has already ended, but I'm afraid there is no so-called winner..."

"That's why this position was controlled by the Dragonborn."

Yuwen Zhong sighed softly and slowly turned to the center of the burning dragon pattern.

The red dress floats in the wind.

The dragon girl had no expression on her face, as if she had expected all this.

The core area of the array.

A long black box was placed next to Ao Ying.

She had been in Dayue Country for quite some time, and was much luckier than the three human saints... She discovered this land of dragon array patterns as soon as she arrived. Although she was hunted by the Iron Cavalry and expelled by the will of Dayue Country, she was at least able to rely on this array to mediate, and even used it to kill a captain of a thousand men!

It’s a pity that there is too little vitality here and her strength can’t be restored!
but……

Now the great opportunity has arrived!
If she kills the three young saints of the human race in front of her, her injuries will improve, and she can even get better!
The dark clouds in the sky were burned away by the raging fire.

Countless dragon flames were floating in the ruins. The Red Dragon Cave and the Panxuan Mirror opened up a sky curtain to block the dragon flames outside.

After crushing the iron cavalry, this great formation gradually subsided.

"What does this witch mean?"

Fang Hang narrowed his eyes, somewhat confused.

He could feel the fierce murderous intent emanating from the woman in red.

It was obvious that the other party had no intention of letting him go today!
But the murderous aura of this formation didn't seem to be directed at the three of them... Was it preparing for a war of attrition? Or was there another plan?

The ruins were shattered and pitch black.

The scarlet dragon fire and the ancient text complement each other, breaking through the darkness and forming an extremely sharp contrast.

Ao Ying put his hands together and pressed them on the thousand-man quiver that contained the Dragon-Slaying Dao. His red clothes rustled in the wind. He had a cold expression on his face, and stared into the darkness at the far end of the ruins.

these days.

She acted extremely cautiously when she entered the ancient country, and even though she had discovered these three human saints early on, she did not "alert the enemy."

The battle with Xie Zhen really left her with psychological trauma.

But after observing for a while, Ao Ying found something wrong.

Although these three saints of the human race have reached the perfection of the cave heaven and have considerable strength, they seem to be far inferior to Xie Zhen!
After carefully observing for a period of time.

Ao Ying was completely convinced.

These three people are not as powerful as Xie Zhen.

now.

Being in the Dragon Script Formation did not make Ao Ying feel safe. Instead, she felt an unprecedented danger...

This kind of danger is very familiar.

Very similar to Ghost Ridge.

All the pores on her body exploded, cold sweat oozed from the skin between her eyebrows, and there were faint signs of cracking. The third vertical pupil stolen from Chiling City might emerge at any time!

After taking a deep breath.

Ao Ying gritted his teeth and said coldly: "How long are you going to hide?"

This statement came out.

Xie Sheng, Yuwen Zhong, and Fang Hang were all stunned.

What do you mean?
Is there a third party here?

The Iron Cavalry has been completely wiped out... wait, the "existence" who initially took action on the long street has not been found out yet!
"..."

There was silence in Daxu.

The dragon fire fluttered, illuminating almost every dark spot.

But no figure appeared.

There was no response either.

"If you don't come out, I won't urge the formation."

Ao Ying sneered and said, "Do you want to sit back and watch the fight, waiting for it to end, so you can save energy? I would rather let these three go than give you this opportunity. If you don't show up, I will withdraw the formation and let these three leave!"

"This witch, what does she think of us?" Upon hearing this, Yu Wenzhong's heart was filled with rage, and he couldn't help but rush out to fight with this witch.

This is treating the three of them as prey!

He also threatened to let him go at any time!

If the battle really goes on, it is still unknown who will win!

The grudge of "frame-up" has not been settled yet, so it's a good time to settle it now!
"No."

A hand tightly grasped his shoulder.

Fang Hang, the Taoist priest of Tai Shang Zhai, looked solemn and shook his head.

Yu Wenzhong took a deep breath and could only wait.

Over the great ruins.

There was still silence.

"Three, two, one..."

Just as Ao Ying counted to one and opened a crack in the Dragon Array, and Fang Hang and the other two were preparing to evacuate, a sigh sounded from the darkness in Daxu.

The bright dragon fire shines and burns away the darkness.

But when the man in black slowly walked out, fog came from all directions, blocking the light and fire outside.

The black dress was very thin. It was fluttering in the hot wind, stained with a light red color, and looked a little solemn and cold.

A slightly pale face.

Appear in everyone's sight.

The man frowned and waved his sleeves to disperse the ball of red fire with dragon pattern that was floating in front of him.

"Xie Zhen?!"

Xie Sheng was completely stunned at this moment.

He never expected that he would meet the guy he hated the most at this time and in this place.

Fang Hang and Yuwen Zhong were also stunned.

This happened too suddenly.

But this seems like a good thing?
The situation is now clear. It is the human race and the demon race that are fighting each other. This demon woman is relying on the dragon pattern formation and is so arrogant. Now that Xie Zhen has appeared, he should stand on her side!

"It's really you..."

See the figure in black.

Ao Ying's expression suddenly turned quite pale.

The battle at the Snow Mountain of Ghost Ridge really left a shadow on her...

She once thought that all the geniuses of the human race who participated in the Northern Hunt had reached Xie Zhen's level!

"Xie Zhen, Brother, I am the Taoist Taishangzhai Daozi..."

Fang Hang shouted loudly, "It's such a coincidence that we meet here! Come and kill this monster together with us!"

The voice of Tai Shang Zhai Daozi echoed in the empty ruins.

Fang Hang was stunned.

He didn't expect that Xie Zhen ignored him at all.

The young man in black walked out from the shadows and stood in front of the dragon pattern formation. He silently looked at the dragon flames wandering in the sky, and his eyes swept over the three people and the witch one by one.

Xie Sheng looked unhappy. He felt that when Xie Zhen was "looking" at him, his gaze lingered longer than on others.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.

Xie Zhen didn't say anything after he appeared.

This is the best opening.

"Little Master Xie, what do you mean by this?"

Fang Hang's eyes darkened, and his tone was no longer polite: "Are you planning to cooperate with the witch and kill the loyal people of the human race?"

"Ah……"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the young Taoist in front of him with compassion.

He stood in front of the formation and whispered, "I will attack together with the three of you to kill the demon girl. How should the spoils be divided?"

Fang Hang subconsciously said: "Of course, the four of us will share it together..."

Speaking of which.

He then realized the problem.

"Miss Ao."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the demon girl with a smile, gave her a relatively respectful title, and asked, "If I join forces with you to kill these three people, how will we divide the spoils?"

"If you want it, take it all!"

Ao Ying stood at the center of the formation and could ignite the dragon flame at any time. But even so, facing the young man in black, he still couldn't help feeling nervous and didn't dare to let down his guard at all.

She said in a deep voice: "I don't want any of the treasures and Taoist treasures on these people! They are all yours!"

This statement came out.

The expressions of Xie Sheng, Fang Hang and Yuwen Zhong suddenly changed.

"Thank you, Zhen!"

Fang Hang's eyes widened with anger: "You are cooperating with the witch here, which is treason!"

"Treason..."

Xie Xuanyi heard familiar words.

He looked at Daozi in front of him seriously and said, "You overestimate your own weight."

"Thank you, brother!"

crucial moment.

Xie Sheng managed to keep his composure. He held down Tai Shang Zhai Daozi and stood up.

This was somewhat beyond Xie Xuanyi's expectations.

Xie Sheng looked sincere: "I was responsible for the offense at Dasui Sword Palace before, and Xie has already apologized. Our grudges have been written off. I hope you will do me a favor today... and don't make things difficult for Taishangzhai. The demon is ahead, and we will join forces to slay the evil spirits together. Everything we gain from slaying the demon will be yours!"

"???"

Yuwen Zhong slowly moved his head and looked at Xie Sheng with an incredible look.

The latter looked calm and sincere.

Only fought with Xie Zhen.

Only then will you know the level of attainment in swordsmanship of this descendant of Xie Xuanyi.

Previously, the Holy Son of Qiantian Palace asked Xie Zhen about his true strength on the cloud boat.

Xie Sheng said that he was not that powerful.

But in fact, he was cautious.

I really want to fight again.

He is extremely unhappy!
The corners of Xie Xuanyi's lips curled up slightly as he admired the performance of the Prince of Jiangning.

"Xie Zhen, join forces with me!"

Ao Ying was a little anxious. She said in a deep voice: "Don't you want the secret treasures on these people? Killing me will only cost one person, but killing them will cost three people!"

Seeing this, Yuwen Zhong also became anxious.

"Thank you, brother Zhen!"

The Saint of Qiantian Palace gritted his teeth and said, "I have no grudge against you. I have admired you for a long time. If we kill the monster together today, I will take you to the secret realm of Qiantian Palace in the future to comprehend the Eight Forbidden Places of Qiantian!"

"Oh?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at Ao Ying again.

This is a gift from a holy land. How could a witch provide such conditions?

Ao Ying put his hands on his hips, helpless, and said unhappily: "Mr. Xie, this is all I can do. What else do you want me to do? I said I would take you to the forbidden land of the demon race to comprehend the secret arts of the ancient saints. Do you believe it? Do you dare?"

"Everyone, I have made up my mind."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the two groups of people with a smile.

He took a step back slightly.

hum!
Deep in the ruins, the sound of swords rang out.

Xie Xuanyi placed one hand on the center of his eyebrows, used his spiritual power to draw in the vital energy, and opened the sword energy cave.

He did not release the deep-seated illness.

Countless sword energies rose up from the periphery of the formation.

In an instant.

Hundreds, thousands of flying swords covered the entire formation.

The tip of the sword turned.

The targets...are not just Fang Hang and the other two.

And the main formation leader Ao Ying.

A long time ago, Xie Xuanyi and his junior sister Jiang Miaoyin secretly went down the mountain and traveled around the city, where they heard a very interesting question.

That's the problem.

If there are two enemies, they fall into the river together.

And there was only one brick on the shore.

Brick pickers, what to do?
The current situation is somewhat similar to the problems I heard at that time.

"You are all arguing so fiercely, why not have a fight to see who wins and who loses, who is stronger and who is weaker..."

"Today I will stay outside the formation and won't help anyone."

Xie Xuanyi covered the entire world with flying swords, smiled and said: "Whoever wins will leave. If anyone escapes without permission and leaves the formation, these flying swords will fall."

The answer to this question is simple.

If you only have one brick, hit the one who wants to go ashore.

Xie Xuanyi put his hands behind his back and looked at Xie Sheng, Fang Hang, Yuwen Zhong, and Ao Ying.

Pause.

He said seriously: "Of course, you can also attack me, attack together."
