Embers of Sword

Chapter 251 Sword Gu

Above the zenith, billions of streams of light fell like waterfalls, blocking the entire main city.

The real dragon raised its head and roared.

The four directions were shaking.

Qingli raised his hand and pressed on the city gate. The void was filled with colorful light, and Ruyi Avenue became a prison on the spot. The residual spirit of Emperor Qi was spreading rapidly, trying to cover the entire Dayue Kingdom. In an instant, this broken ancient country would be dragged into the cave.

"Crack!"

Qingli exerted slight force in his palms.

A crack immediately appeared on Ruyi Avenue that blocked the main city.

Seeing this scene, Prince Jiu's eyes sparkled with the light of glass. He suddenly stretched out his hand, and the broken arm was temporarily filled by Ruyi Avenue, turning into a hundred-foot stream of light, smashing towards Qingli!
A sound of metal and iron burst out above Qingli's head.

The remnant of the true dragon's appearance still remained. Qingli pressed the wall with one hand and raised the other hand upwards to receive the heavy blow of the road. The ground under the girl's feet shattered into pieces, and spider webs exploded one after another.

“…Now!”

A cold voice sounded in Xie Xuanyi's heart.

He immediately understood, wrapped Ao Ying in sword energy, and flew out of the main city.

In the void, streams of light splashed.

The divine light of the avenue shot out like an arrowhead. Qingli, who was standing in the city, waved his sleeves to stop it and caught most of it, but there were still countless streams of light that fell to the ground and turned into iron cavalry.

Rumble!
Ao Ying looked back and saw that the cavalry were charging at an incredibly fast speed, holding on to the two men tightly, destroying them all the way, as if they were going to flatten the entire ancient country.

She gritted her teeth, hesitated for a while and then said, "Mr. Xie, I have a suggestion."

"explain."

Xie Xuanyi held Ao Ying up with his sword energy, and the two of them rode on a strand of sword energy, flying almost close to the ground, shuttling through the streets and alleys at an extremely fast speed. The stone walls of the buildings behind them were constantly crushed by the cavalry and turned into ruins.

Ao Ying said: "Emperor Qi's avenue of wish-fulfilling is currently blocked by the real dragon, and the number of cavalry charging outward is not large yet... but it is bound to get more and more intense in the future."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

In fact, when the witch opened her mouth, he had already guessed what she wanted to say.

"If I leave, these cavalry will be dispersed by half."

Ao Ying suggested cautiously: "With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of them. Why don't you and I separate and go our separate ways. I'll go north, and you south."

"Miss Ao."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "With your current cultivation level, it may not be easy to escape safely."

Ao Ying said: "How I get out of this is my business. It is good for both you and me to separate now."

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "Are you so afraid of me that you're in such a hurry to say goodbye that you don't even want to live anymore?"

Now it was Ao Ying's turn to be silent.

If the cavalry charges into the battle line, there is still a way to survive.

If I travel with this living devil Xie Xuanyi, what will happen to me in the end?
If we were captured and taken to the Da Chu Dynasty, life would be worse than death!

"I have no other request, I only hope that you can keep your promise and return the Red Dragon's luck to me."

Ao Ying let out a long sigh.

She turned around sincerely and looked at Xie Xuanyi, her face full of pleading.

This time Ao Ying learned his lesson.

The person in front of him was Xie Xuanyi, who possessed the soul of the pinnacle of Yin God. Naturally, his "charm" techniques would be completely ineffective. If used, they would only increase disgust.

He simply restrained his mind and stopped using his magic.

Never thought about it.

It really works wonders.

"whoosh" sound!
The sword energy suddenly accelerated, leaving those cavalry far behind.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xuanyi plucked a wisp of bright red air from the cave between his eyebrows. This wisp of air turned into a small dragon circling around his fingers, and it just "quietly" lay dormant in his palm.

Ao Ying held his breath.

She stretched out her hands, palms facing up, waiting for Xie Xuanyi's "return".

"Are you afraid that I will kill you, or are you afraid that I will take you back to the Great Chu Dynasty?"

Just when he was about to repay, Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

Ao Ying was stunned for a moment, and said frankly: "I'm afraid of everything."

"That makes sense."

Xie Xuanyi suddenly chuckled and said leisurely: "This red dragon luck is for you."

Say it.

Xie Xuanyi pinched the red dragon with two fingers, pretending to throw it into Ao Ying's cupped palm, and said lightly: "Since you took the initiative to ask to leave, the soul contract of Dayuejing has come to an end. Miss Ao, once you take over the fate of the red dragon, you and I will no longer be allies."

"and many more……"

Ao Ying pulled back his hand and did not rush to catch the red dragon. Instead, he asked nervously, "Mr. Xie, you are not going to give away your luck and turn your back on me right away, right?"

"Miss Ao, your luck is here."

Xie Xuanyi just asked calmly: "Do you want it or not?"

"want!"

Ao Ying took a deep breath.

Xie Xuanyi loosened his fingers, and the red dragon fell down and was caught by Ao Ying.

The pupil between the eyebrows cracked, and [Phoenix Eyes] subconsciously wanted to devour this luck, but Ao Ying was prepared. She grabbed the luck and stuffed it into her own mouth... Perhaps because she had swallowed enough holy blood in the Dayue Palace before, [Phoenix Eyes] was not very willing to compete for this luck.

With the blood of the ancient saint as the foundation of the throne.

The probability of [Phoenix Eyes] devouring its master has been greatly reduced.

This secret treasure is extremely greedy. Before the owner of the treasure shows his absolute strength and makes it recognize his master, whoever can fill its stomach can control it!
"Chucky!"

Between Ao Ying’s eyebrows, the vertical pupil turned into the color of a red dragon.

She sat on top of Xie Xuanyi's sword energy, with two fingers placed in front of her [Phoenix Eyes] from beginning to end, alertly guarding against Xie Xuanyi's attack so that she could escape at any time.

But Xie Xuanyi just stood with his hands behind his back and watched calmly.

After counting the breaths.

Ao Ying swallowed all of the Red Dragon's luck. The demon girl's pale complexion became much rosier. She looked up at Xie Xuanyi with suspicion in her eyes... Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanyi did not withhold part of the Red Dragon's luck, but gave it to her intact.

She had heard that Xie Xuanyi was ruthless and had killed countless monsters with his sword!
Will such a person become a good person after reincarnation?
"Miss Ao, how do you feel?" Xie Xuanyi spoke slowly.

"…It's OK, just a little hot."

Ao Ying felt his whole body burning hot and unbearable.

This Red Dragon's luck is of the same origin as hers, and she can refine it even faster than Xie Sheng. She just swallowed it and she felt the feedback of the luck. It seems that this is a "great tonic"!
However, the joy just appeared on Ao Ying's face and then froze.

"Xie has a question."

Xie Xuanyi suddenly asked, "If you and I were to switch places in today's situation, how would you handle it? Would you return this Red Dragon's luck completely and completely?"

"Mr. Xie, you..."

Ao Ying looked up at the black-clad young man in front of him and felt terrified: "What do you mean?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi took it calmly.

Ao Ying's expression was extremely ugly.

She lowered her head and covered her chest tightly, feeling a dull pain there, as if there was a sword energy stirring!

The demon girl asked in a hoarse voice: "Xie Xuanyi, what did you do with this luck?"

"Don't worry, the Red Dragon is intact."

Xie Xuanyi replied calmly: "But Miss Ao, you have to be careful when she is refining."

Countless images flashed through Ao Ying’s mind.

The red dragon was taken away by Xie Xuanyi and imprisoned in the sword energy cave between his eyebrows.

She already had the answer in her mind.

The demon girl murmured, "You added sword power to your luck?"

"There are many evil cultivators in the southern border of Dachu."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said slowly: "These evil practitioners are all practicing against the will of heaven. Some of them cannot open up their meridians, and some cannot comprehend their vital energy... Do you know what they practice?"

This was a sudden and inexplicable question.

Ao Ying was stunned.

"Practice mechanical arts, practice witchcraft, and practice lust arts."

Xie Xuanyi said softly, "I used to look down on these people. Later, I gradually understood a truth: the world is full of wonders. All the myriad methods in this world are within the scope of the Tao... Those magic methods that I looked down on may not be useless."

Ao Ying asked anxiously: "So what did you add to this Red Dragon Luck?!"

"A kind of Gu."

Xie Xuanyi said slowly: "I know that there are many Gu refiners in the Demon Country, and these Gu refiners all regard the Eclipse Marsh as their master. But I can guarantee that even if you return to the Demon Country and search the entire swamp, even if you find the Eclipse Marsh, you will not be able to find the antidote for this Gu... This Gu is induced by 'sword energy', and only the unique mental method of the Lotus Peak of the Dasui Sword Palace can remove it."

Ao Ying no longer hid the venom in his eyes and said coldly, "Gu... You, Xie Xuanyi, can actually use Gu? It seems that the Dasui Sword Palace, which claims to be a prestigious and upright sect, is actually a filthy bunch!"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi did not refute, but just looked at the witch calmly.

From the first meeting to walking together.

He had seen too many faces of Ao Ying. This evil woman looked pitiful, but in fact she was cruel and ruthless.

One person has thousands of faces, but no one face is real.

Perhaps only the resentment at this moment is the most real.

In fact, Ao Ying's finger had already hovered at the center of his eyebrows.

When she took over the Red Dragon's destiny, she was prepared to accept the worst-case scenario.

If Xie Xuanyi drew his sword, she would be confident that she could escape.

As long as she can pay enough, she can activate [Phoenix Eyes] again!
This is also her biggest confidence in proposing to go their separate ways...

She had originally planned to take back the Red Dragon's luck, so she activated her Phoenix Eyes, overdrawn her bones and blood, and left completely!
As for the "entanglement" with Xie Xuanyi, I will slowly deal with it after I have achieved some results in my practice and enlightenment in the future!

But now.

This last bit of confidence was also completely destroyed by Xie Xuanyi.

Ao Ying had never heard of a Gu that was induced by sword energy... and he had no idea what the consequences would be if this Gu took effect.

"People of the bright side don't speak secretly."

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and asked, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why bother to put a curse on me? What do you want me to do?"

"clever."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "The first thing you need to do is very simple..."

The flying sword's energy suddenly stopped.

Stopped in front of a collapsed ruin.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the sword energy flashing towards him not far away.

He had some impression of these people.

When killing Rong Chan, some wandering cultivators were rescued.

They did not follow the instructions on the jade slip and leave Dayue Kingdom. It seemed that they were looking for treasure in the city.

Now that the Ruyi Cave Heaven has spread, countless Dao Daos have transformed into iron cavalry, destroying the ancient city... They are being hunted down by the iron cavalry.

"Thank you, Master! Help!"

"Thank you, Master. Please save us!"

These wandering cultivators were approaching him, shouting for help at the top of their lungs.

Ao Ying looked at these human cultivators and frowned slightly.

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi spoke.

"The first thing you have to do is..."

With a blank expression on his face, he stared at the fleeing cultivators and whispered, "Help me kill them all."
