Embers of Sword

Chapter 250 The power of life and death
The majestic image of the true dragon is situated between heaven and earth.

Thousands of Ruyi Dao rules fell like waterfalls, imprisoning and sealing the body of the real dragon.

Smoke and dust were billowing all around the imperial city.

Millions of cavalrymen rushed out from this Ruyi Cave Heaven...

Emperor Qi was right.

If the laws of nature collapse in this world, he will be responsible for rescuing them!
Thousands of years have passed, and Ruyi Avenue has continued to evolve. Now it has become the supreme "Heavenly Way" of this cave!
Emperor Qi was suspended in the sky, his robe fluttering. The glow covering his face gradually dissipated, and the thousands and tens of thousands of faces of all living beings flew away along with the light, finally revealing a resolute and indifferent face of a man. Ruyi Avenue was repairing his broken body and his soul.

He put on the imperial robe and his white hair turned gray.

His face became younger little by little. After a few breaths, he recovered to his peak appearance of over 20 years old, and his energy and blood were like the vast ocean.

There is imperial majesty between his eyebrows and eyes!
Qingli was still wearing ragged clothes, but with his hair flying, the "worldly" aura on his body was fading away little by little.

The spiritual charm of heaven and earth, the brilliance of the avenue, moved closer to her.

She calmly gazed at the emperor in the distance who was absorbing the power of heaven and earth and the incense of all living beings.

The true dragon's back was as broad as a mountain, and was slightly bumpy at the moment.

A voice transmission fell into Xie Xuanyi's heart.

"The next battle will be very dangerous."

Qingli did not look back. She put most of her energy on Emperor Qi... This unfinished battle is about to come to an end today, a thousand years later.

Once a being in the realm of heaven and man takes action, the sky will collapse and the earth will split.

Xie Xuanyi looked solemn.

He knew that this place could not withstand a battle of this level.

Once the fight starts.

This main city will be destroyed first, and then the entire Dayue Kingdom will be bombed into ruins...

"If all goes well... I will kill him, take off the Ruyi Dao Rule, and give it to you."

There was a gentle smile in Qingli's voice.

she knows.

Xie Xuanyi came to Dayue Country this time for the divine fruit.

There is no divine fruit in the world.

But there is a "Ruyi Road" that can make people's wishes come true.

"The God Fruit... is no longer that important to me."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said seriously: "Even without this good fortune, I can still make my own way."

His biggest obsession in his previous life was that he missed the opportunity in the snow mountain, so he did not cultivate a second sword path.

But now.

Xie Xuanyi has already seen the "truth".

The divine fruit is nothing but an illusion created by Ruyi Avenue.

How can everything in this world go as one wishes?
Being able to start over in a second life is already an extremely lucky thing.

He successfully ignited the acupoints with the golden Yuan Fire.

Even without the divine fruit, we can still open up new paths!
"I don't know if I will win this battle."

Qingli said softly: "But I am sure of one thing, even if I lose, he will not be the winner."

"This Great Moon Country has become a sacrifice for 'ascension to the immortal world', and the realm cannot be restored after breaking through."

"Emperor Qi wants to complete the Ruyi Dao principle, transform himself into the Heavenly Dao, replace the heaven and earth with himself, and make Ruyi Cave Heaven a complete world."

"Therefore, the dead can be resurrected. The country of Nirvana can be reborn."

She chuckled, "It's a pity that some things are doomed to fail. The reason why there is such a battle... is just that someone is deeply trapped in delusion and can't extricate themselves."

Ruyi Avenue weaves dreams for everyone.

As the master who controls the avenue.

Emperor Qi is the one who is most deeply trapped in the dream.

……

……

"Anyway, before the battle officially begins, I'll send you away first."

Qingli took a deep breath and said gently, "I need to fight against the Ruyi Dao Rule. I don't have much power to use right now, but... it's enough to help you get rid of the trouble."

The word trouble comes out.

Xie Xuanyi was slightly stunned.

next moment.

Qingli, who was standing at the position of the dragon head, gently pressed down with both hands, and a wisp of residual soul broke out of his body and slowly came to Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying. The invisible aura spread, and the divine consciousness emitted by this wisp of residual soul enveloped the two of them. Emperor Qi's Ruyi Dao sealed off this world, and the rolling murderous intent burst out from the top of the sky, making people feel cold both physically and mentally.

At this moment, the little girl stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the shoulders of the two men. The murderous intent disappeared and the coldness receded.

The battle to slay the dragon turned into a stalemate between the two sides.

Emperor Qi is still absorbing the Ruyi Dao principle to restore his previous strength.

Qingli was able to devote his energy to protecting the two of them.

next moment.

Qingli brought Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying to the ancient city, in an alley dozens of miles away.

There is a black shirt fluttering in the wind, which is fixed in place by the vast magic power and cannot move. The person in black shirt is the remnant of the great immortal Chongkan who was chasing Ao Ying!

It's a pity though.

But the original body also has a lot of consciousness.

The reason why Great Master Chongkan placed this wisp of spiritual energy in Xie Sheng's heart lake was to wait for the Red Dragon's luck to mature and to obtain the final cause and effect in one fell swoop... In order to hide from the eyes and ears of others, it would be best if the host Xie Sheng was completely unaware of it. This wisp of spiritual consciousness was naturally extremely weak, and it grew little by little by absorbing the Red Dragon's luck.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is what Chongkan Cannian is best at.

Therefore, when he came to Dayuejing in pursuit of Ao Ying, he realized something was wrong——

This is also the reason why Prince Jiu did not notice the remnant of Chongkan... This remnant grew according to the principle of absorbing the Red Dragon's luck. When the son of the Red Dragon's luck was killed, he naturally wanted to take the luck back. But after realizing that Dayuejing was a place of no return, the remnant of Chongkan gave up trying to take back the luck. He made the most correct choice, which was to leave the main city and rush to the outside of the secret realm.

With the strength of this remnant Yin God realm, once he leaves Dayue Kingdom, he really has a chance to return to Taoism!
By then.

Great Master Chongkan will know clearly everything that happened in the Longwen Formation.

Unfortunately.

Chongkan's remaining thoughts were destined to have no chance of escaping from this secret place.

"Actually, I don't quite understand what happened between you... But if I'm not mistaken, this should be considered a big trouble, right?"

Qingli looked at Xie Xuanyi with regret and smiled softly.

At that time, the Longwen formation was engaged in a battle.

Xie Xuanyi placed her in the ruins nearby, so the little girl was unable to witness the battle in the big formation... But she deduced the general situation from the conversation between Ao Ying and Xie Xuanyi.

"Yes, this is indeed a problem."

Xie Xuanyi looked serious.

He didn't expect that Chongkan Cannian's choice would be so decisive...

Great Master Chongkan is one of the most powerful Yangshen masters in Da Chu, and his style of doing things is notoriously tough!
Chongkan was extremely secretive about the matter of the Red Dragon's luck.

In fact, Xie Sheng's death was nothing. He could just swallow the loss of his good fortune.

However, once such behavior is exposed, it will have a serious impact. The image of Taoism and the Jiangning Palace will definitely plummet, which is something Chongkan cannot accept... It can be imagined that if this remnant of thought returns smoothly, this great immortal will definitely take some "special measures" to eliminate subsequent hidden dangers.

"kill?"

Qingli looked at Xie Xuanyi with a calm expression, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

She handed over the power of life and death to Xie Xuanyi.

"Kill Chongkan..."

Hearing this, Ao Ying's voice was filled with emotion and he couldn't help but sigh.

The regret of Chongkan once made her miserable.

From the beginning to the end, she was only thinking about how to escape from the pursuit of this remnant. As a demon, she was worried that after escaping from the Dayue Kingdom, she would be liquidated by Chongkan himself.

As for counterattack?

Can't even think about it.

"kill!"

Xie Xuanyi's expression was fierce, without the slightest hesitation.

The moment he finished speaking, Qingli raised his palm, put two fingers together to form a sword, and gently chopped down.

Hiss! The void was shattered, and the remnant of Chongkan that was fixed by the True Dragon Dao was directly torn in half. The black robe and black shirt shattered in the air. Qingli killed this remnant as easily as drinking water... But it was worthy of being the remnant of the Yang God. Chongkan stared at Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying "before he died".

"Don't worry. He won't have the slightest consciousness that can spread out of this world."

Qingli spoke softly and she slowly clenched her fist.

Countless laws condense!

This remnant soul was directly crushed to pieces!
After doing all this, the body of Qingli, which had been separated from its original body, became dimmer, visibly so.

There was thunder in the sky.

The real dragon was trapped in Ruyi Cave.

The original body of Qingli was fighting with Emperor Qi for the "Great Way". The incarnation that was separated out at this moment was able to kill the remnant of Chongkan so easily, which was already quite powerful.

Xie Xuanyi felt a little distressed: "Actually, you don't have to be like this."

Killing the remnant of Chongkan will inevitably consume Qingli's divine power.

The battle to slay the dragon is not over yet.

In a battle of this level, both sides will give their all.

A slight difference may determine victory or defeat.

He could see that Qingli's divinity was recovering bit by bit, and the childishness of the "dumb girl" in her eyes and eyebrows was gradually fading away.

"A piece of cake."

Qingli shook his head and said softly: "There is another person, I also want to kill him."

next moment.

She took the two of them back to the vicinity of Dayuejing.

Prince Jiu fell to the ground, looking pale, looking at the three people who "left and came back". He thought Qingli had taken Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying away from Dayue Kingdom... He was secretly relieved in his heart, but he could never have imagined that these three people only left for a few breaths and then returned to their hometown!

Kill Chongkan first, the reason is very simple.

This remnant of soul has already fled on its own initiative. Given the speed at which the remnant of Chongkan moves, if left alone, it will soon leave the ancient country and escape from the secret realm.

"you……"

Qingli looked at the demon man in front of him who had lost one arm, frowned slightly, and showed pain in his eyes.

Scenes from Tiesuo Alley.

Passing through my mind.

Qingli's expression suddenly turned pale, and he said coldly, "Damn it."

The divinity in her eyes was replaced by the anger of a mute girl at this moment.

He raised his hands and waved his sleeves.

Boom!
Prince Jiu screamed, covered his broken arm and retreated. He was at the peak of Yin God and only one step away from attacking Yang God. There were few people in the entire Demon Country who dared to compete with him at the same level.

It’s a pity... the person in front of me stands higher than Yang Shen.

The true dragon path descends from the sky like thunder!

Despair appeared in Prince Jiu's eyes.

He summoned the five-colored magic lamp, awakened the Dharmakaya's divine shadow, and threw magic weapons into the sky with all his might.

In front of the power of the true dragon.

The five-colored magic lamp shattered in an instant, and its light was shattered.

The Dharma image was also directly shattered.

As for those treasures, not even one of them could hold out for even a moment...

This bolt of lightning was so powerful that it pierced through heaven and earth, and it was just a little bit away from hitting Prince Jiu’s forehead!

At the last moment, the last centimeter.

A wishful Dao rule came over and lifted up the True Dragon Dao rule!

Emperor Qi, hanging high in the air, cast a cold look at the world. He did all this... certainly not to save the monster.

In this war, he has only one enemy.

That is the "green carp".

Everything he did was to win.

The whole world was roaring, and countless cavalrymen launched an attack on the body of the real dragon... At the same time, this dreamlike Ruyi Dao rule fell on the center of Prince Jiu's eyebrows.

Prince Jiu was just one step away from death.

I saw the dreamlike scenes in "Mirror Image and Water Moon" again.

He sits on a throne on top of a mountain.

The Ruyi Dao Rule fell into the center of his eyebrows.

Unfortunately, the Dharma image that was split apart by the True Dragon Dao Principle condensed and reorganized behind Prince Jiu, transforming into a cold figure with a fluttering imperial robe.

Qingli had his own incarnations, and Qi Di also had his own incarnations.

The two men waved their sleeves together, and the True Dragon Dao and the Ruyi Dao collided with each other. In just a moment, the exposed mouth of the Dayue Well was shattered by the surging energy.

"Well……"

Although he did not die from the attack of the True Dragon Dao, Prince Jiu looked painful at this moment, and the brilliant colors of dreamy glass flashed across his pupils.

This is a symbol of the influence of Ruyi Avenue on the heart lake.

Those who are at a lower level will naturally not feel the need to resist, and will become pawns and puppets controlled by Emperor Qi's divine thoughts.

For example, those iron cavalry, those captains of thousands and captains of tens of thousands.

But Prince Jiu is different.

His spiritual realm is much higher than that of the captain of ten thousand men!
"If you want to live, give up resistance."

Emperor Qi's voice fell into the lake of his heart, and he said coldly: "Otherwise I will remove the Dao intention cover now."

Prince Jiu's expression was shaken. He closed his eyes and reluctantly accepted the fact.

He staggered to his feet.

The colorful shadows were covered with a layer of glazed glow.

The aura on his body also changed.

"..."

Qingli narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

The two auras of the Dao on Prince Jiu's body were pulling back and forth. It was obvious that the Dao that belonged to him was competing with the Ruyi Dao.

She no longer hesitated, and grabbed Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying's shoulders again, and rushed out of the city.

next moment.

Prince Jiu gave up resistance and let Ruyi Daoze take over his heart lake. In an instant he appeared in front of Qingli and delivered a punch with his only remaining arm!
boom!
Qingli had an indifferent expression and also threw out a punch. All the buildings within a mile radius were broken into pieces and rose from the ground!

She took a step forward and stopped Prince Jiu.

Above the true dragon’s Dharma image, another incarnation descended, but Emperor Qi also “transformed into thousands of bodies”. Divine clouds descended from the Ruyi Cave Heaven, blocking all of the true dragon’s divine thoughts.

This battle of energy eventually escalated again.

Qingli was helpless and could only look back at Xie Xuanyi behind him.

"There's no need to protect each other on the road ahead."

Xie Xuanyi immediately understood what he meant and sent out a telepathic message, signaling Qingli not to worry.

"……it is good!"

Qingli said nothing more, but took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will stop all of Emperor Qi's thoughts for you... Don't look back!"

Pause.

She looked at the Jiuwangye in front of her: "The Ruyi Dao can confuse people's minds. The person in front of me has been eroded by the Dao. If there is no external intervention, there is almost no possibility of recovery."

The body of Lord Jiu was enveloped in glazed light, and the Ruyi Dao fell down, covering and engulfing the colorful glow.

At this moment, he is no longer himself.

In a sense.

Having your heart occupied by the Ruyi Dao is also a kind of "death".

Qingli separated a strand of Dao, which enveloped the heads of Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying, and warned them in a deep voice: "I know that you still have many old friends in this ancient country... If you want to save people, be careful and don't be deceived by Emperor Qi's remnant."
