Embers of Sword

Chapter 260 Pure White Saint
"As for them, what does it matter if they die?"

Lu Yuzhen's voice rang out in Xie Xuanyi's heart, and countless talismans flew around, covering everyone on the ground.

The so-called ant saying is, of course, just a metaphor.

But...reality is often more cruel than this metaphor.

The look Lu Yuzhen gave these people was even colder than the look he gave to ants. In his opinion, it would not have any impact if all these people died.

He doesn't care.

"You want them dead."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "So I hope they live."

"?"

Lu Yuzhen was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed, his eyes turning into crescents, but there was no annoyance in his tone: "Interesting... You want them to live, but just this thought can make Xie Xuanyi willing to use himself as bait? Have you ever thought about what if you guessed wrong? This Five-Colored Avenue is extremely poisonous and can easily consume your flesh and blood. If you are hit by this avenue, even if the Golden Immortal from heaven descends to earth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save your life."

"I died once, why would I care about dying a second time?"

Xie Xuanyi also laughed out loud.

Having said that.

But he didn't think so.

Because he died once, in this life... he lives more cautiously than in the previous life!
The reason why I dare to take such a risky move.

There is only one reason.

He was very sure that Lu Yuzhen was nearby and could take action at any time to cut off the Five-Colored Avenue.

and.

Lu Yu really knows how to take action for himself.

Now let’s look at the results.

Xie Xuanyi’s “bet” was right, everything was right.

"How did you find me?"

Lu Yuzhen smiled and asked, "Was it started by the fire on the cloud ship?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi still didn't answer, but just changed the subject lightly: "If I say it's just a blind guess, do you believe it?"

"Others may be able to do so. But Xie Xuanyi cannot."

Lu Yuzhen sighed and said, "If you don't want to tell me, it's fine. It's not a shocking secret. I was planning to meet you anyway, but it's just a little later or a little earlier."

Having said that.

He still felt quite resentful about the incident: "You shouldn't have revealed it. At least it would have left some suspense and given you a few more surprises."

"Ha ha……"

Xie Xuanyi smiled wistfully as he looked at the "paper man" in front of him who was looking very happy.

The colorful avenue runs through Lu Yuzhen’s chest.

He felt no pain.

It was because this body was not made of flesh and blood at all. The two of them communicated with each other in their minds, which took a while. Then, the sharp rules of the Five-Colored Avenue exploded directly under the pointing of the Great Peacock. Taoist Master Lu's chest was broken, but he did not "die" there. Instead, he turned into countless snow-white talisman papers, and then re-condensed in the original place, still with that smiling look on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Kongque, stop the war, stop the war, don't hurt the harmony..."

Lu Yuzhen chuckled and spoke.

The entire barren mountain was covered with white paper. For a moment, the colorful colors were drowned out by the pale color.

The sky and the earth were covered with snow, as if there was a heavy snowfall.

He greeted them with his true form, but this scene was hidden from the young monks at the foot of the mountain. The heavy snow covered the sky, and everyone could only see a vast expanse of white when they looked up.

Wu Yue looked bewildered.

He had never heard of any Yang God in the territory of Da Chu who would create such a scene when using his magical powers to release the cave heaven.

White paper like snow, sweeping across the barren mountains.

Shang Yi, Yuwen Zhong and others looked at each other, confused.

"It's not Qiantian Palace..."

"It's not a Taoist sect..."

Who on earth is this person and why would he take action at this time?
Everyone's heartstrings were still tense.

They couldn’t see the reinforcements clearly, let alone their background... Now standing opposite them was the giant of the Demon Country, the Great Peacock!

Can this mysterious "Yang God" be stopped?
next moment.

The white paper shattered, and colorful colors surged down again.

That voice of stopping the war had no effect at all.

The Great Peacock stretched out his hand and grabbed again, but this time the target he grabbed was no longer Xie Xuanyi, nor those ant-like cultivators at the foot of the mountain, but Master Lu Yuzhen, who was standing in front of everyone to fight against the Five-Colored Avenue.

Lu Yuzhen sighed softly.

He flicked his sleeves lightly, without any visible movement, just flicking them -

The Peacock Lord, who was so powerful that he wanted to grab Lu Yuzhen in his palm, was suddenly blocked!
The face of this great lord of the Demon Country changed slightly, and then he turned around and displayed his Dharma image, continuing to stretch out his palm towards Lu Yuzhen!
The colorful avenue is falling!

A towering Dharma image that was a thousand feet tall hung down from the sky, taller than the mountain in front of them. The colorful palm that was stretched out seemed to block everyone's sight. An indescribable feeling of despair surged into their hearts. The next moment, Lu Yuzhen also displayed his Dharma image, and countless white papers flew out and turned into a pure white saint.

The face of this statue cannot be seen clearly, but it is extremely holy. It seems to be wearing a Taoist robe, but holding a Zen staff in its hand. What is even more shocking is that there are twelve rotating flying swords hanging behind its head.

The world today is divided into two parts.

The three most powerful sects are Taoism, Buddhism, and the Sword Palace.

During these thousand years, Dasui Sword Palace has not only trained sword practitioners, but also "scholars". Sword is the most powerful weapon and is good at nurturing the spirit of righteousness. During these thousand years, many important officials of Da Chu would come to Dasui Sword Palace, wearing sword tassels to uphold the name of righteousness.

The skills practiced by Taoism, Buddhism, and the Sword Palace.

These are three completely different paths.

Taoist monks control their energy, sword masters control their weapons, and Buddhists refine their golden bodies.

The Dharmakāya bodies forged by these three paths are also different...

This was the first time that Xie Xuanyi saw three avenues appear simultaneously on one person's Dharma body.

“?!” This scene also shocked the Great Peacock.

The two Dharma images attacked each other from a distance of several miles!
The pure white saint behind Lu Yuzhen stretched out his palm and collided with the colorful palm.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The earth shook.

The majestic Dharma body condensed by the Great Peacock was clearly a thousand feet long and even larger, but it could not advance an inch.

Lu Yuzhen put his hands behind his back and calmly looked at the huge demon body that was shining with glazed golden light.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

But it was a cold smile.

If someone looked carefully, they would find that the look he gave to Peacock Lord at this moment... was no different from the look he gave to the monks at the foot of the mountain before.

Deng!
After a hard blow, the colorful demon body took a step back uncontrollably.

The attitude of the Peacock Lord standing on the zenith finally changed.

He no longer stretched out his hand with contempt, but wanted to grab Lu Yuzhen in his palm as if he was grabbing an ant.

Instead, he stared silently at the Taoist in white robe in front of him.

The colorful holy light enveloped the face.

No one can see clearly.

The specific expression of the Great Peacock at this moment.

But the pressure between heaven and earth has become even more severe.

The demon country is warlike and good at fighting!
Those great masters were all ruthless men who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. All of them were skilled in attacking and killing!

Xie Xuanyi could feel that the five-colored Dao principles descending from the sky were becoming more fierce...

These great principles could transform into long swords at any time, and the muffled sound of thunder could already be heard above the sky.

A fight in the Yangshen realm.

What I did just now was just a test.

If we really go to war with all our strength, I'm afraid this mountain will be reduced to nothingness in an instant.

"Fellow Daoist, please think it through carefully."

Lu Yuzhen narrowed his eyes and saw the strange phenomenon at the ceiling.

He smiled nonchalantly and gently reminded her, "If you draw your sword, today you will inevitably have to decide a life or death battle... It won't be long before a Yang God from Da Chu arrives. Can anyone else come from your side?"

this sentence.

The colorful avenue paused for a moment.

The Peacock Lord raised his sleeves and then dropped them again.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows. He could feel the murderous intent from all directions fading. The Great Lord of the Demon Country above the sky seemed to be communicating with Lu Yuzhen with his divine mind.

After a while.

Lu Yuzhen turned around and looked at Xie Xuanyi, smiling and said, "How about handing these people over to him and letting him let us go?"

"Mr. Lu...you are not a turtle spirit who has cultivated to attain enlightenment, right?"

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "You can agree to such a cowardly condition. It's not like you can't beat him, so what's wrong with fighting him?"

From the Dharmakaya confrontation just now, Xie Xuanyi could see that Lu Yu was really a very skilled fighter.

The Peacock Lord had no advantage at all.

"I'm crazy, fighting him?"

Lu Yuzhen snorted and said unhappily, "What good is there in defeating him? It's just a waste of time... Even if you kill him, what's the point? Didn't you send the Dragon Girl out of Dayue Country safely? Those cultivators at the foot of the mountain can die if they die. I see you killed quite a few before. Now let Kong Que kill them all. This way you can report to your superiors."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi knew that Lu Yuzhen was staring at him all the time.

When Ao Ying was sent away, the colorful avenue had already covered the snow-capped mountains. It seemed that Lu Yuzhen must have made some contribution to her safe departure from Dayue Kingdom.

"If they die, I'll die here too."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Hundreds of people were hunted in the north, and I am the only one who survived. How do you want me to face the Taoist sect, Qiantian Palace, Wuzong, Qin family, Jiangning, Beijun..."

"Follow me! To Southern Xinjiang!"

Lu Yuzhen's true intentions were exposed. He patted his chest and said proudly, "I won't let you suffer any injustice from these people!"

really.

This guy is exactly what he is planning.

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said solemnly: "I can't make it through with you. You just need to know one thing, they can't die, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't let Peacock know the secret of the 'Immortal Fountain'."

He doesn't have many cards to hold against Lu Yuzhen.

The Fountain of Immortality is one of them.

"……you!"

Lu Yuzhen was a little annoyed and said angrily: "How can you achieve enlightenment in the future if you care so much about the lives of these ants?"

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly: "If it doesn't go according to your wishes and goes against your Dao heart, then it doesn't matter if you don't attain the Dao."

The two looked at each other.

Lu Yuzhen was helpless. After a long while, he slowly said, "It's not impossible to save these people... but there is one condition."

"explain."

Although they were communicating with only two people, no third person could spy on them.

But Lu Yuzhen still subconsciously clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly with a little guilt.

Then he conveyed a secret message.

Lu Yuzhen made a very small request. After listening to it, Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly: "That's it? Are you sure?"

"If you agree, I will save these people."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "I will ensure that they leave Dayue Country safely and return to Dachu."
