Embers of Sword

Chapter 227 I am truly worthy of the world's trust (6K3)

Xie Sheng is dead.

But he did not die at the hands of Xie Xuanyi.

The one who actually killed him was Ao Ying, the dragon girl from the demon clan.

Xie Xuanyi had already used his divine sense to record all of this. He was not afraid of this Taoist master Tai Shangzhai "throwing dirty water" on him.

Big deal.

The images in the Daxu Dragon Array were released.

What is right and wrong will be judged by future generations.

of course……

The current situation has not reached that stage yet.

Xie Xuanyi stretched out his palm, a ray of dark sword intent lingered at his fingertips, gathered in the palm of his hand, faintly whistling like wind and thunder!

After Ao Ying took on the disaster caused by Xie Sheng, Xie Xuanyi dispersed the "Law of Destruction" that had already condensed 70%, and finally only retained about 20% of the law remnants.

Twenty percent is enough to deal with Tai Shang Zhai Daozi.

There are rules.

There are no rules.

They are two completely different concepts.

The only thing missing from the Perfect Cave Heaven and the Half-Step Yin God is... the power of the Dao!
The reason why the "Captain of Thousands" who had previously charged on the ancient battlefield possessed the strength of a half-step Yin God was because in the Black Evil Dream, the Captain of Thousands mastered the incomplete "Dragon-Slaying Law".

"You want to kill me?!"

Fang Hang's pupils contracted and his voice suddenly rose.

"Xie just wants to learn from Daozi."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "The Northern Hunting battlefield is a battle between the geniuses...it's just that Xie's attack was relatively heavy, Daozi should be careful next time!"

He flicked his sleeves lightly!
The dark sword intent containing 20% of the "Principle of Destruction" shot out instantly!

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi tried his best to cast the magic seal!
Boom!

Thunder Mountain is coming!

The mighty thunder method turned the pitch-black ruins into a silver-white color, but in just a moment, the black sword intent tore the Thunder Mountain into pieces, directly pierced through the seal, and shot through the shoulder of Tai Shang Zhai Taoist!

"???"

Blood splattered and Fang Hang looked pale, watching the scene in disbelief.

"The Dao Principle..."

He looked at Xie Zhen and felt a chill in his heart.

these years.

He practiced very hard.

Tai Shang Zhai gave him all the best resources, the best blessed land, elixirs and treasures!
even so.

Just before the Northern Hunt, he had just completed his cave cultivation!
If Fang Hang wants to comprehend the Dao... even if he works fast, it will take at least half a year!
This Xie Zhen, who looked several years younger than himself, had already mastered the power of the Dao? !
And it's judged based on the killing power.

This rule is of very high quality! It is definitely a top-level rule!

The more powerful the Tao, the harder it is to comprehend...

If Fang Hang had not come from a Taoist sect and had not known the internal affairs of the Seventh Chamber very well, he would have suspected that this Xie Zhen was actually a reincarnated immortal!

"Buzzing."

The sword whistled and filled the great ruins.

Xie Xuanyi stretched out his hand to recall the dark sword intent.

This sword.

The seal of Tai Shang Zhai Daozi was directly shattered!
The next sword.

But it won't be that simple.

The pure energy transformed by the "Principle of Destruction" lingered around Xie Xuanyi's fingertips and was about to burst out again.

Fang Hang looked pale, and suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the Dragon Array and shouted, "Junior Sister Shang, save me!"

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

He looked at the end of the formation... and felt the breath of outsiders in the area that his divine sense had previously covered.

now.

The aura of the outsider is fully revealed!
There was more than one person coming, there were more than twenty figures riding swords, flying in the air. These people were wearing Taoist robes, riding flying swords, with their faces covered with black gauze. Each of them had an immortal aura and an extremely sharp aura.

Taoism, Yuqingzhai.

Many years ago, Xie Xuanyi had dealt with Shu Ning, the master of Yuqingzhai. Among the seven Taoist temples, Yuqingzhai specializes in teaching women to practice not only Taoism but also swordsmanship.

Although there is an old saying that all swordsmen in the world come from Da Sui.

But how many sword practitioners are there in the world?
A large sect like Taoism has its own masters for each of the eighteen kinds of weapons. No matter which weapon you practice, the masters of the Seven Chambers will teach you a thing or two.

The sword is the king of all weapons, so the Taoist sect has specially opened a hall called Yuqingzhai.

It is worth mentioning that.

Yuqingzhai has a close relationship with Dasui Sword Palace.

It is said that many years ago, the "founder" of Dasui Sword Palace had a very close relationship with a Jurchen Taoist.

Taoism emphasizes a clear mind and few desires, and the pursuit of the way of heaven and man.

For so many years, the Taoist master and the leader of the mountain have actually been alone.

To get close to the Tao, you need to make sacrifices.

The ancient history of a thousand years ago is no longer known, but the "founder" of the Dashui Sword Palace eventually died alone, and the Taoist sect also had a women's sword studio called Yuqingzhai, which was dedicated to teaching women to practice swordsmanship... The final fate of these two people is actually clear.

nowadays.

The small owner of Yuqingzhai is named "Shang Yi".

Xie Xuanyi had seen this woman's record in the Fangyuanfang case files. This was Shu Ning's disciple. She was young and gifted, and was the undisputed contender for this year's Tianjiao list. The chief of Fangyuanfang even personally commented that this female swordsman from Yuqingzhai had a chance to reach the top and win the title of "Sword Champion".

"Whoosh!"

The voice of Fang Hang, the Taoist master of Tai Shang Zhai, was heard.

The sound of breaking air rang in Xie Xuanyi's ears.

A silver-white flying sword pierced through the void and flew over from a hundred feet away!

As fellow Taoists, Shang Yi had no reason not to take action when faced with danger.

The sword is shot first, and the man arrives later.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly. A wisp of energy was contained in his fingertips, which directly deflected the flying sword. The next moment, a man in a white shirt came floating over. Shang Yi flew over with a sword and attacked hard, but Xie Xuanyi easily parried it with Spring Breeze and Wild Grass. If we talk about energy, how can Shang Yi compare with Xie Xuanyi who has reached the "Yuanhuo Golden Body Realm"?
If we talk about the mysteries of swordsmanship, there is no need to say more.

Back then, Shang Yi's master Shu Ning was defeated by Xie Xuanyi.

but……

It is worth mentioning that compared with Fang Hang, Shang Yi’s sword moves are much more “sophisticated”.

Xie Xuanyi used the spring breeze and wild grass to suppress the sword force of the fairy in white. After a few simple attacks, he realized that Shang Yi came here to rescue Fang Hang. She only wanted to repel him, but never thought of killing him. Yuqingzhai swordsmanship is not taught by the "compassionate" Bodhisattva. Shu Ning's moves were full of murderous intent. This little girl surnamed Shang deliberately hid her killing skills and did not use them directly!

In this way, Xie Xuanyi did not use the "Principle of Destruction".

The two men attacked each other with sword energy, but after just a few breaths, all the sword practitioners from Yuqingzhai arrived and stepped into the Daxu formation.

The dragon fire has faded.

Fang Hang, the Taoist priest of Tai Shang Zhai, immediately retreated behind the crowd, covering the blood on his shoulder, looking pale.

He shouted, "Junior Sister Shang, be careful! This devil named Xie is ruthless and cruel. Prince Jiangning just died at his hands!"

"Thank you..."

Shang Yi frowned. She caught a glimpse of the bloody corpse at the end of the ruins and said coldly, "You killed Xie Sheng?!"

"Ah."

Xie Xuanyi just chuckled and asked calmly: "Miss Shang, if I say that Xie Sheng's death has nothing to do with me, do you believe it?"

Shang Yi was stunned for a moment.

"I believe!"

at this time.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded among the crowd!
Xie Xuanyi was originally planning to use the Principle of Destruction, but when he heard this voice, he suddenly gave up the idea.

Among the team of female sword practitioners from Yuqingzhai, there were several figures wearing clothes from Baihua Valley.

The one who spoke for Xie Zhen was none other than Yuan Yi.

At this moment, dozens of eyes fell on Yuan Yi.

"Little girl, what do you know?"

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi covered his injured arm and said sullenly, "This Xie is a big devil! Didn't you hear what Xie Sheng said before he died?"

previously.

Before his death, Xie Sheng stirred up thunder sounds to send a message to the end of Daxu.

obviously.

This prince of Jiangning knew that he would not live long, and he also sensed someone coming from the outside world...

He wants to throw dirty water on Xie Zhen!
He succeeded.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the fairies in Yuqingzhai. He could feel that the eyes they looked at him were full of hostility.

obviously.

Xie Sheng's message reached the end of Daxu and reached the ears of these people.

"What do you know?"

Yuan Yi gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Mr. Xie fought bloody battles in Beihailing to save Baihua Valley and killed dozens of evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang!"

Xie Xuanyi's heartstrings were slightly touched.

that day.

He just did what he wanted.

But in Yuan Yi's view, when the sky was falling, Xie Zhen appeared as the "savior".

No matter what, Xie Xuanyi killed all those evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang, and also tried his best to save the surviving disciples of Baihua Valley.

"you……"

Tai Shang Zhai Daozi was choked by this, and he refuted again: "Xie Zhen is a killer. His master is Xie Xuanyi, how can he be a good person?"

"Xie Zhen is not such a person!" Yuan Yi said angrily: "If Xie Sheng was really killed by him, it can only prove that Xie Sheng is a demon and a bad guy!"

"Yuan Yi, that's enough!"

Lu Yuan, who was standing in the team, finally spoke at this moment.

She stretched out her hand and used a talisman to seal Yuan Yi's mouth. She just raised her hand slightly, and the talisman transformed into a green vine that bound Yuan Yi.

The newly promoted senior sister of Baihua Valley looked at Xie Xuanyi with a complicated expression and gave him an apologetic look.

Her white dress was stained with a lot of blood.

I can tell.

Before entering the secret realm, Baihua Valley had experienced a battle... and the battle was very fierce.

obviously.

It was the fairy Yuqingzhai who saved them.

If you receive a favor from someone, you must behave in a way that honors the favor.

Moreover, compared with the Taoist sect... the strength of Baihua Valley in participating in the Northern Hunt this time is really insignificant.

Now that Tai Shang Zhai Daozi has testified that Xie Zhen killed Prince Jiangning, they have no chance to refute the truth of right and wrong. It would be meaningless to let Yuan Yi continue speaking, as it would only bring trouble to Baihua Valley.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at Lu Yuan silently. His heart was calm and he did not feel anger, sadness, or other similar emotions.

From the beginning.

He doesn't care about these "little things".

If it weren't for Master Chongkan's regret, such a difficult disaster would have happened.

He had already taken action personally to end Xie Sheng's life.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if Xie Sheng really killed him, so what?

and so.

Xie Xuanyi didn't care about Baihua Valley's attitude.

but……

The moment Yuan Yi spoke up for himself, Xie Xuanyi felt an unprecedented "heart tremor".

This feeling is very strange.

When he was wanted by the royal family of Da Chu and fled in all directions, he had never heard such a voice.

The Sword Palace was silent, and the surroundings were filled with the sound of killing. So, this is what it feels like to be trusted.

After a short silence.

Xie Xuanyi did not go to see Yuan Yi.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I dare not.

He turned his head away silently.

"Thank you, Zhen. Thank you, Master Xiaoshan."

Shang Yi used his flying sword to block the spring breeze and the weeds, and said coldly: "Xie Sheng's body is in front of you, and Daozi's testimony is beside you, how are you going to explain it?"

This sentence "Thank you, little master of the mountain" can be considered a respectful title.

But now it sounds vaguely sarcastic!

"Michiko's testimony, is it something very valuable?"

Xie Xuanyi tilted his head slightly and asked seriously, word by word, "Is Daozi's testimony necessarily true?"

Shang Yi was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect Xie Zhen to say such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, Shang Yi also spoke seriously: "The Dao sect has a thousand-year-old reputation... How could a dignified Daoist slander you with lies for no reason?"

"fart."

Xie Xuanyi laughed when he heard this, uttered two extremely vulgar words, and then sneered: "Where did the Taoist sect get its thousand-year reputation? In the Battle of Drinking Poison, the most defectors were Taoist masters!"

These words deeply touched the hearts of the Taoist disciples.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

In an instant.

Countless flying swords gathered above the heads of the female sword practitioners in Yuqingzhai.

Fairy Shang Yi's cheeks under the veil suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Xie Zhen, you are ashamed of Dasui Sword Palace!"

Shang Yi thrust out a sword.

This sword transformed into ten swords, and ten swords transformed into a hundred swords.

The two were only three feet apart.

In a split second.

There were already hundreds of flying swords in front of Xie Xuanyi.

This move is called "Jade Purity Opens Its Screen".

Many years ago, Xie Xuanyi had learned from Master Shu Ningzhai.

He sneered and flicked his sleeve. The weeds hovered in front of him and he pushed them lightly, just like Tai Chi. In an instant, "one weed" turned into ten, and ten turned into a hundred. He used the same sword move as "Jade Purity Opens the Screen". The two waves of sword intent collided and burst out within a very short distance. The sword energy rushed and made the clothes of the two men fly up.

"I am truly grateful to everyone in the world!"

Xie Xuanyi held the Spring Breeze sword sheath in his hand and stabbed out from the gap between hundreds of sword energies!
Poof!
This sheath did not use its full strength, nor did it contain the principle of destruction. It just "stopped at the right point" and gently poked the shoulder of Yuqingzhai Fairy Shang Yi.

This is exactly the same position as the sword move that was used on Tai Shang Zhai Daozi before.

Only the difference is.

Because there was no Dao principle contained in it, Shang Yi's flesh and blood were not pierced.

The sword intent in the sky was shattered!

The fairy in white from Yuqingzhai groaned and stepped back, pressing her hand tightly on her shoulder, but she couldn't suppress the surging blood and energy in her body.

"Senior sister!"

"Senior sister!"

Those Yuqingzhai disciples stepped forward one after another. They wanted to use their flying swords to help Shang Yi to clear the formation and suppress Xie Zhen, but Shang Yi raised his hand to stop them.

"I am… fine."

Shang Yi took a deep breath, barely suppressing the blood that was about to be coughed out of her throat... She looked at the black-clothed young man in front of her with a complicated expression. As they were both sword cultivators, how could she not understand the strength of each other after this fight?
If the scabbard of Xie Zhen just now contained vital energy.

My shoulder had already been pierced!

If you really want to get serious.

How could I be a match for Xie Zhen?

It was also because of this that she had some doubts about Fang Hang's words. Xie Zhen was extremely powerful and his swordsmanship was far superior to hers. If he was really a devil who did all kinds of evil, why would he hold back on her?
"Everyone."

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly: "You can put Xie Sheng's account on my head. But the premise is... you can return to Da Chu alive."

Is this going to kill everyone to silence them?

These words came true.

Everyone present had a stern look on their faces.

Especially those disciples of Yuqingzhai who surrounded Shang Yi, they were ready to fight to the death with this devil Xie!

But the next moment.

Xie Zhen turned around and left without any hesitation, taking with him two black ancient boxes engraved with dragon patterns, and turned into a long rainbow and left.

What does it mean?
Shang Yi looked a little confused.

The others were equally confused.

At this moment, a rumbling sound was heard outside the Daxu formation. The sound of the earth rumbling immediately attracted everyone's attention. They saw a dark arrow shooting from the horizon. The arrow came too fast and no one could dodge it.

"His!"

The arrow was aimed at the core of the Dragon Array, spanning dozens of miles, tearing apart the space and destroying everything in its way.

Shang Yi's pupils contracted, and the moment Xinhu felt danger, he grabbed a disciple and dodged to the side.

My cheeks felt hot.

The flying silk gauze was torn into pieces by the arrow, and the hair floated in the air and turned into ashes.

An arrow containing the complete "Dragon-killing Principle" shot the entire ruins into pieces, and the dragon fire floating in the air dimmed.

At the end of the rumbling, countless black iron cavalry and an extremely tall and majestic ancient general appeared.

The tall ancient general was dressed in black armor, carved with the same "dragon pattern" as the one on the box that Xie Zhen had taken away before. He looked like he was burning with scorching flames. He sat on a chariot pulled by four huge black horses. Due to his majestic stature, he was extremely eye-catching. Among the cavalry, one could spot this important character "sitting on the general's throne" at a glance.

At this moment, he still maintained the action of drawing the bow and stringing it.

"The Yin God who has mastered the complete principles of the Tao..."

Shang Yi was filled with grief. She saw clearly that two disciples of Yuqingzhai were unfortunately hit by the arrow and were completely burned to ashes.

The fairy from Yuqingzhai then understood what Xie Zhen’s previous message meant.

They came all the way from the entrance to the secret realm to this dilapidated ancient country.

Naturally, they encountered the cavalry.

But when Yuqingzhai first entered the secret realm, he had no idea that the ruins of the Dayue Kingdom also contained the Yinshen Realm and the "remnants of the strong" of a higher realm!
Xie Zhen gave up arguing with his group.

Just to escape!

"escape!"

Shang Yi took a deep breath and sent the message immediately.

No need for her to say.

The moment the "Ten Thousand Men" appeared, the Taoist of Tai Shang Zhai chose to flee... Fang Hang was very smart and did not choose to advance or retreat with the disciples of Yu Qing Zhai. In the past few days, he had traveled with Yu Wenzhong and Xie Sheng, and had already figured out the rules of this ancient country.

The iron cavalry of this ancient country would patrol the four borders of the city.

The people from Yuqingzhai are so powerful that if we follow them, we will only suffer endless pursuit!

In other words.

After Junior Sister Shang blocked Xie Zhen’s sword energy for him, her role became meaningless.

He was injured.

The best option right now is to find a quiet place to recuperate. It would be even better if you can meet a trustworthy junior brother from Tai Shang Zhai!
"Senior Brother Fang?!"

Shang Yi also saw Fang Hang's figure rushing away.

She was a little surprised and couldn't believe it.

Not long ago, she took the initiative to lead Yuqingzhai to ward off disaster for Fang Hang.

Now that disaster was imminent, Fang Hang chose to abandon himself without hesitation.

"Little Master!"

A disciple whispered, "The Holy Son Yuwen of Qiantian Palace is still here. Do you want to take him with you?"

The Longwen formation has been broken.

The complete "Dragon-Slaying Law" completely ignited the dark ruins, and light and fire spread.

on the ground.

A red-robed figure lay quietly, fingers trembling slightly, and it looked like he might wake up at any moment.

"Bring it with you!"

Shang Yi calmed down and hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "How can we stand by and watch someone die in such a great disaster? Brother Yuwen is a rare hero in this world. If we abandon him like this, what difference will we make from an evil cultivator? How will we deal with the Qiantian Palace when we meet them in the future?"

……

……

A few miles outside the big ruins, in a broken ruin.

Countless talismans were suspended in the dark space, transforming into green swimming fish. If there were any Taoist disciples present, they would recognize that these were the Taoist "Purity Talisman".

A ragged little girl sat cross-legged on the ground, looking nervous and waiting cautiously.

Whoosh.

Xie Xuanyi appeared in the Pure Formation with two black boxes under his arms.

The moment she saw the black box, a look of joy flashed across the face of the little girl Qingli, but the joy soon disappeared.

She noticed the blood on Xie Xuanyi's clothes.

The little mute girl stood up with a worried look on her face and gestured to ask, "Is everything going well? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry. I'm not hurt."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "This blood is not mine."

The little girl was still nervous.

The Pure Array couldn't stop the loud rumbling sound from the distance.

She tilted her chin towards the distance, curious about what was going on with the loud noise over there.

"...It's a long story."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly, holding the little girl under his other arm with one hand, and said, "Let's go back to Tiesuo Lane first."

A ray of sword energy rose from the ground.

The two of them rode on the sword energy and instantly left the ruins, rushing towards a direction away from the ruins.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the shocking scene of thousands of cavalry charging in the distance, and couldn't help feeling fear in his heart... The cavalry of Dayue Kingdom were not living beings, but more like puppets created by magic. As long as a price was paid, they could be continuously generated, endlessly.

Ao Ying obviously already knew the hidden dangers of igniting the "Dragon Script Array"!

This ancient country was eventually destroyed because of the war against the dragon.

Everything related to "dragon" in the ancient country will be slaughtered and destroyed!
The Dragon Array has been burning for such a long time, it will definitely attract the attention of the main city...

After the centurion died in battle.

In order to quell the Dragon Array, Dayue Nation dispatched the "Captain of Ten Thousands" who had mastered the complete Dao Principle!
The sense of danger this guy brought to himself was not much weaker than the remnant of Master Chongkan. He was definitely a strong man in the Yin Shen realm.

Once you are targeted.

Only by condensing the "law of destruction" can the danger be resolved.

"Ok?"

While flying, Xie Xuanyi's eyes suddenly focused, and he discovered another figure speeding not far away.

Fang Hang!

It was because Shang Yi stepped forward earlier and delayed himself that Fang Hang's life was saved!
I didn’t expect that the Dayue Iron Cavalry had just started the suppression... and Fang Hang abandoned Yuqingzhai so quickly!
"Xie Zhen?!"

The two are not far apart.

Fang Hang raised his head and saw a familiar sword light.

He also discovered Xie Zhen!
This discovery... made Fang Hang's eyes go dark!
This Taoist master, Tai Shang Zhai, was rejoicing at having escaped death one moment, but the next moment, a strong sense of danger arose in his heart!

"..."

He subconsciously wanted to turn his head and call for help.

But because of the cavalry's charge, he took the initiative to abandon Yuqingzhai and fled in the opposite direction... At this moment, the figures of the disciples of Yuqingzhai could no longer be seen clearly.

It's ironic and ridiculous.

He didn't expect that the "escape" direction he carefully selected would collide with Xie Zhen!
