Embers of Sword

Chapter 293 Killing Demons
Xie Xuanyi didn't expect that Li Chen could have endured it until now.

After Qi Yu was killed that day, the blockade of the North Suburb Villa lasted only half a day before it was lifted.

I heard that when the Supreme Master arrived at the villa, he just led his disciples away silently and did not say anything else.

Xie Xuanyi was ready to face Tai Shang Zhai's revenge.

But there was no follow-up to this matter...

In the past few days, he brought Duan Zhao to visit Wuzong and asked him about boxing and swordsmanship. Huang Su followed them silently to prevent any "assassination" from happening.

But the imperial city was at peace.

I heard that Master Tai Shang Zhai brought his disciples to find an inn in the city and stayed there, neither going out nor moving around.

Xie Xuanyi knew.

This matter is not over yet.

The case of Beijiao Villa has been put on hold for the time being due to insufficient evidence.

But Li Chen knew who killed Qi Yu.

Given his personality, he would definitely not let it go even though his two most beloved disciples had died under his sword.

Li Chen is waiting.

But Xie Xuanyi was also waiting.

In fact, he hoped that Li Chen could make his move "quicker". Now he had Huang Su and Qi Lie behind him. If this Supreme Master really made up his mind and waited for a perfect opportunity... then his own troubles would become even more difficult.

"Little Mountain Master, I still don't quite understand the third move of the Sword-Lifting Style."

In the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, Duan Zhao danced with the heavy sword with great vigor. This little fellow had amazing strength, as if he had endless energy in his body.

A sword was raised from top to bottom and stopped abruptly in the air.

Duan Zhao frowned and stared at the tip of the sword pointing obliquely toward the sky.

This heavy sword has no sharp edge and looks a bit like a ruler.

"What don't you understand?"

Under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, Xie Xuanyi sat on a rattan chair with his eyes closed. He seemed to be dozing, but he was actually silently comprehending the principles of life.

"I fought with that Wu Zong Lin Yu a few days ago, and I always lost."

"According to what you said, if he jumps to avoid the sword attack, we can use the sword-lifting style."

Duan Zhao sighed, "But my sword-lifting style is always a little slower, and he can always step on my sword and break this style... Is it because I am using this move incorrectly?"

Xie Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes.

In the huge Chen Mansion, it seems that there are only two people, but there is actually another one who is hiding in the dark and has not shown up.

Huang Su likes quietness.

The Flowing Cloud Sword Formation could just give her some peace and quiet.

Normally, when Xie Xuanyi gave instructions to Duan Zhao, Huang Su would set up a sword formation and hide his aura.

For Xie Xuanyi, this is actually a troublesome thing. When instructing Duan Zhao, he needs to "be careful in what he says and does" so as not to be discovered by his junior sister.

He knew why Duan Zhao lost.

Thanks to Wangyou Island's top-level body-refining method, Duan Zhao has a unique advantage in practicing heavy sword. However, this kid was fooled by the island owner into practicing fake boxing for several years. To practice sword all of a sudden, he not only needs to practice sword manuals, but also needs to impact the corresponding acupoints and change his punching habits.

The sword is always drawn slowly because the Tianquan, Quze, Daling and Laogong meridians have not yet been cleansed by the vital energy.

If Huang Su was not here, Xie Xuanyi would point out the truth directly.

but now……

Xie Xuanyi could feel a ray of divine consciousness flashing out from inside the Fu Liuyun Sword Formation.

Huang Su obviously heard Duan Zhao's question, and she was very curious about her answer.

After thinking for a moment.

Xie Xuanyi calmly answered: "If you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear, and practicing sword is even more so. If you are slow in swordplay, the best way is to practice a thousand times. If you are slow again, practice again."

"Why do you say things so similar to my father?"

Duan Zhao sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, there is no shortcut to sword training."

Having said that.

But he was not discouraged at all and continued to practice.

This young man has a brute force. Xie Xuanyi has seen many geniuses.

Some people are quick to understand, and are gifted... They don't even need a teacher to guide them, as long as they hold the sword, they can comprehend many principles.

Of course, all sects want to recruit these geniuses.

But they may not be able to make it to the end.

A young man with a single-minded mind like Duan Zhao is more suitable for practicing sword.

Handing out a thousand swords, ten thousand swords day after day... this kind of hard work that accumulates little by little is more important than the talent of learning by analogy.

When you unsheathe the sword, the sweat that sheds will not deceive you.

"Om."

Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to close his eyes again, the Ruyi Order on the inside of his lapel suddenly vibrated.

He perked up and took out the token.

Chen Jingxuan's voice came from the token.

"Fifty miles away from the southern suburbs of the Imperial City, Tailing."

As these words were uttered, the Hunyuan Instrument sent an extremely precise direction into Xie Xuanyi's heart.

A blurry image was reflected above the Zifu Heart Lake.

This was the image captured by the Black Scale Guards using their Soul Magic. Xie Xuanyi saw thirteen cultivators wearing black robes, of varying heights, weights and figures. The temperaments of these cultivators were completely different from the cultivators from the holy lands of the aristocratic families. It was obvious that they were the evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang.

"The intelligence we got earlier is correct. This group of people are all in the Cave Heaven Realm, and among them are three Quasi-Yin Gods who have comprehended the power of the Dao Principle."

Chen Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "It is still unknown to what extent their Dao principles have been condensed... It is worth mentioning that one of them is a true disciple of Yinshan Baigui."

"Oh?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled meaningfully.

"You are only a cave god now, and the other party has three quasi-Yin gods after all."

Chen Jingxuan said seriously: "You must be careful. In addition... the Imperial City Bureau has sent a special envoy to make the contact."

"understood."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "I will end this soon."

This is the end.

Communication ends.

Duan Zhao, who was practicing swordsmanship hard, became serious and put away his heavy sword.

Just now, the sound of the wind in the courtyard suddenly changed.

The banyan branches surged, making a sharp whistling sound!

"Little Mountain Master?"

Duan Zhao's eyes lit up.

He didn't know why, but after the Northern Hunt was over, the little mountain owner treated him very well.

In the past few days, he not only took me to Wuzong to ask questions about boxing and taught me about difficult and complicated problems in swordsmanship, but also told me that if there was a chance, they would go out of the city together to kill demons.

He heard the token vibrate just now.

He also felt the surging sword energy in the courtyard.

Is it time to go out of the city and slay the demons?

"Pack up and get ready to leave the city."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the imperial city. There were no clouds tonight, but for some reason, the ceiling was now covered with a faint shadow.

The moonlight took on a chill and the wind also grew colder.

It looks like it's going to rain.

He stood up, walked to the corner, picked up the umbrella sword that Chen Jingxuan gave him, and twisted it gently.

This umbrella sword is very useful and sharp... It is the product closest to the [Thousand Machine Umbrella] and is most suitable for hiding from the rain in the wild and killing people and dismembering them.

(PS: Maybe it's because of staying up late, or maybe it's because of the temperature drop, I caught a cold and had a stuffy nose today, and I feel groggy and can't muster up any energy. The next plot is more important, and some details have not been sorted out, so I will only update one chapter with fewer words to adjust my work and rest. Everyone take care of yourself, put on more clothes when the weather is cold, and the next update will be before tomorrow noon.)
