Embers of Sword

Chapter 225 "The one who killed me, Xie Zhen!"

Chongkan Zhenren is the top yang god in Taoism.

Even if only a trace of regret is left, the aura it exudes can still suppress the entire Dragon Script Formation!

Ao Ying looked at the suspended black-robed figure, cold sweat oozing from her body, her heart filled with fear. Without her knowledge, a crack slowly appeared between her eyebrows, and her [Phoenix Eyes] had awakened on its own, ready to overdraw the host's energy and blood for the final "migration" at any time.

On the other side, Xie Xuanyi looked relatively calm.

The practice of Master Chongkan is called "Meng Qianqiu", and only the masters of Changshengzhai in all generations can obtain the complete true teachings.

now.

This black-robed figure hovering above Xie Sheng's head.

Although the aura was terrifying, it did not emit any murderous intent.

It is said that the "Meng Qianqiu" technique can help one attain enlightenment in sleep. Normal practitioners do not need to sleep for too long after building a foundation, but the opposite is true for practitioners who practice "Meng Qianqiu". The deeper they sleep, the higher their realm of Taoism will be... Of course, this does not mean that they will have no resistance after falling asleep.

Practice this technique to perfection.

Falling asleep is also a kind of wakefulness.

Dreams and reality reflect each other.

After falling asleep, you can still see the reality in the lake of your heart, deal with worldly trivialities, and your mind will be more focused!

But obviously...

At this moment, the remaining thoughts of Chongkan have not reached this level.

"It turns out that the Great Immortal also has private thoughts."

Xie Xuanyi looked at Xie Sheng who was sitting on the ground. The look in his eyes when he looked at this prince was not only sarcastic but also a bit pity.

A great Taoist master and leader of the seven quarters.

The purpose of leaving a wisp of "divine thought" in the heart of such a young man is self-evident.

Xie Sheng stared at the black robe in a daze.

He just felt that something deep inside him suddenly shattered.

When he was young, his father held him in the palm of his hand. Countless people in Jiangning praised him and said that he could surpass Xie Xuanyi in the future...

He accepted it calmly.

Except for his father, no one knew that he had been cared for by immortals since he was a child.

In the dream, an immortal preached to him.

This red dragon luck was also a gift from the immortals.

What is destiny?

This is destiny!

At that time, Xie Sheng did not think that "surpassing Xie Xuanyi" was a difficult task.

later.

The Jiangning Palace is getting bigger and bigger.

Xie's reputation became more and more famous.

The burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier... heavier than Xie Xuanyi and has become Xie Sheng's "inner demon".

I've heard this sentence too many times.

Always take it seriously.

To achieve this goal, Xie Sheng practiced with all his might. He knew that he was carrying the unique luck of the Red Dragon. He wanted to prove more than anyone else that he could really surpass Xie Xuanyi!
Good fortune is bestowed on you, and the palace protects you.

His first half of life was smooth sailing.

Until I met Xie Zhen.

Everything, a seemingly perfect life, was shattered so abruptly.

"Chongkan..."

Xie Sheng stared blankly at the figure sitting on the ground, feeling that everything was so ironic.

So the dream given by immortals is false.

The fate of the Red Dragon is also arranged.

He is the little prince who is held in the palm of the hand by the Jiangning Palace.

But it is also a chess piece.

After the Red Dragon's luck grows stronger, what will be his fate?

Xie Sheng is not stupid.

He knew very well why this trace of regret was hidden so deeply...

If a Yin God wants to be promoted to a Yang God, he needs a lot of luck.

Every step after Yang Shen is very bumpy. This red dragon luck, if nurtured to the end, will only become a wedding dress for Chongkan Zhenren's promotion.

and so.

There is another meaning to my father's previous warning.

Kill yourself.

It’s not as simple as the Jiangning Palace chasing you thousands of miles away.

In such a short period of time, the Xie family of Jiangning rose to become the second largest family in Da Chu after the Qin family...on the surface, it was thanks to the exiled immortal Wu Zexian.

But in fact.

Xie has another "backer" who is even more hidden.

It is Chongkan Zhenren.

No one could have imagined that Master Chongkan would reach such a cooperation with King Jiangning... Using the soul and heart of Prince Jiangning to cultivate the luck of the Red Dragon, this layout lasted for decades. If nothing unexpected happened, after a few years, Xie Sheng would join the Taoist sect and become a disciple of Master Chongkan, which would not attract anyone's attention.

When the fruit is ripe, the cause and effect will be fulfilled.

When Xie Sheng reaches the end of his practice, the Red Dragon's luck is full, and the regret of Master Chongkan will also awaken.

"It is said that the demon race is cunning..."

"In my opinion, the cruelty of the human race is not inferior to that of the demon race."

Although Ao Ying was a bystander, she also learned a lot about Da Chu through the soul-devouring technique.

The moment I saw the Taoist Chongkan’s divine thoughts.

This clever witch has already guessed most of it.

Ao Ying still followed Xie Xuanyi's warning and did not act rashly. She gritted her teeth, stared at the black-shirted immortal who was floating like a giant Buddha, and said in a voice transmission: "Mr. Xie, what are you going to do? You should know... It's not advisable to stay here for long, right?"

After the dragon script was activated, this Daxu formation attracted the attention of the Dayue National Defense Formation.

Xie Xuanyi had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart.

It won't be long before the "strong men" of the ancient country of Dayue will rush here.

The peak strength of a thousand-man commander is a half-step Yin God. If the next person to arrive here is a ten-thousand-man commander from the Dayue Kingdom, even if it has been decayed by time, it should have retained its complete principles and possessed the strength of a Yin God!
"Do you know 'Chongkan'?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at Ao Ying and said calmly, "Don't worry, this remnant does not have the strength of a Yang God."

"Ha ha……"

Ao Ying smiled.

The demon girl said coldly: "In the battle of drinking poison, Master Chongkan fought against several great masters... I can't touch an existence of this level. If you are not afraid, why don't you kill him with your sword!"

Xie Xuanyi fell silent.

After his sword intent tore through the robes of Prince Jiangning, it was eliminated by an invisible force. At this moment, the incomplete "Principle of Destruction" was hovering on the surface of the black-robed Great Immortal's body.

He did not take any more drastic action.

the reason is simple.

Although this great man in front of us has his "eyes open", he is actually "dreaming".

The regret of the great Taoist Chongkan has not awakened at all!

If it were in the previous life, Xie Xuanyi would have drawn his sword without saying a word, and the Way of Great Perfection and Destruction would have torn the remnant of Chongkan apart in an instant...

But now.

Xie Xuanyi had no idea how far this remnant of Chongkan had grown after absorbing the Red Dragon's luck for twenty years.

"Thank you..."

In the ruins, Xie Sheng sat on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling: "Save me! Please, save me!"

After the residual soul of Master Chongkan appeared, it showed no intention of leaving.

The thought that Prince Jiangning left in the prince's heart will only appear at the critical moment of life and death.

And it will only appear once.

If the other party is willing to stop, then the divine consciousness of Chongkan Zhenren will not appear... On the contrary, the appearance of Chongkan Zhenren means "there is no solution to the deadlock."

The black robe of this great master covered Xie Sheng, but it was not a protection.

Xie Sheng felt unprecedented despair...

Compared with Xie Zhen, compared with Ao Ying, compared with the iron cavalry of the Dayue Kingdom.

Real horror.

Coming from the black robe above the head.

Is there anything that could make one feel more desperate than being "targeted" by a great Taoist master and one's own father?

This way.

The cooperation between the Prince of Jiangning's Palace and the Taoist sect can be understood without words.

Xie Sheng can die.

But the Red Dragon’s luck cannot be lost.

"save you?"

Xie Xuanyi was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I don't have the ability to save you from Master Chongkan. But I can give you a ride and free you."

Xie Sheng was stunned.

He looked at the young man in front of him, trembling all over, looking at the umbrella sword the young man was holding, looking at the sword energy suspended in the sky, the floating dragon fire, and finally turned his gaze back and met the cold eyes of the young man in black... Xie Sheng himself didn't know why he asked Xie Zhen for help.

Doesn't he know that this guy has a heart of stone?
Didn't he know that Chongkan was targeting him and that it was his father who wanted him to die?

Even if this guy agrees, what ability and qualifications does he have... to save me?
Xie Sheng's breathing gradually calmed down.

The red dragon mark between his eyebrows emitted an unprecedented red light. In the past, every time the mark revived, it was accompanied by severe pain and madness.

But only this time.

He was so calm that even his body stopped shaking.

The aura of the black-robed Great Immortal above his head was also awakening bit by bit...

Chongkan’s regret is about to “wake up”.

Xie Sheng suddenly laughed softly. The flames floating in all directions were like lanterns, illuminating the surroundings very brightly. In the flames, he saw countless "selves" and countless "Xie Zhen" holding swords.

He was born into a wealthy family and enjoyed great fame at a young age.

These twenty years or so are more exciting than the entire lives of countless people.

But at this moment, the dream is shattered and everything is dark.

Suddenly there was no road ahead of him.

He seemed to have no choice.

Or.

It seemed as if he had only one choice.

"I don't know why, Xie Zhen..."

Xie Sheng raised his head and looked at the black-clothed boy who was younger than him. His eyes were full of calmness without any resentment: "I hated you from the first moment I saw you."

Xie Xuanyi was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

Was it a meeting at the gate of Dasui Sword Palace? Or was it a Sword Palace competition?
He couldn't remember clearly.

In his life, Xie Sheng has always been an unimportant passer-by, and he has never been willing to waste his time on unimportant people.

"Maybe it's because of you and Xie Xuanyi..."

"I really, really, really want you to die."

Xie Sheng grinned.

He looked at the black-clad boy in front of him, slowly stopped smiling, and uttered the most vicious curse in the calmest tone: "I can die today... but you, don't even think about having an easy life."

The prince raised his head and took a deep breath.

"The one who killed me, Xie Zhen!"

Xie Sheng let out a long roar and sent the sound towards the far end of Daxu with his spiritual thoughts.

next moment.

Xie Sheng stretched out his palm and slapped his forehead heavily.

This palm strike was done with all his strength, without any intention of holding back. The powerful energy burst out, directly shaking away the smoke and dust in all directions.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

Is this suicide?
