Embers of Sword

Chapter 296 Ghost
"Ten?"

Duan Zhao's voice echoed in the rainy night at Tailing.

Wu Yin couldn't help laughing out loud. He looked at the young man carrying the heavy sword, his eyes full of mockery. Did this kid think he was Xie Xuanyi?

Even Xie Xuanyi, who is at the initial stage of Cave Heaven, cannot do such a thing!
"If you can kill two, you'll pass."

Xie Xuanyi patted the boy on the shoulder and said softly, "I'll remember your achievement when we get back."

"Kill two?"

Duan Zhao took a deep breath, raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the heavy sword, his eyes swept across the dozens of black-robed shadows on the top of the mountain, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

boom!
The rocks were broken.

The young man in green clothes carrying a heavy sword actually took the initiative to kill, stepping on the cliffs of the moss ridge like a swift cheetah! !

"Where did this idiot come from? He has no idea how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is."

Huai Ting, standing on the top of the mountain, looked down at the young man from the cave who was attacking him actively, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

A dark light surged in the palm of his hand, and the invisible Tao surged out from the void.

next moment.

The dark clouds above Tailing shattered, and a strong sword energy fell like thunder, striking directly at the position where Huai Ting was standing!
"?"

Huai Ting frowned and floated back.

Whoosh whoosh!
The cloud curtain at the sky spread out, and streaks of sword energy fell madly, turning the ground into a sword pool. The sword intent scattered in all directions, forcing Huai Ting and Cang Youshi to dodge and move, retreating continuously, and separating from the ten evil cultivators of the cave sky behind them.

The huge moss ridge was divided into two battlefields.

Duan Zhao successfully fought his way into the encirclement of ten evil cave-heaven cultivators, like a wolf among a flock of sheep, and swung his heavy sword with great righteousness. Several evil cultivators were ready to fight back, but the young man's sword was covered with Taoist thunder talismans, and every time he swung his sword, there was a resonant burst of brilliant lightning!
Tonight's battle at Tailing is just a small scene for Xie Xuanyi.

But Duan Zhao was just a "child" after all. In order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, Xie Xuanyi had prepared a backup plan early on. For this battle, he drew hundreds of thunder talismans and asked Duan Zhao to stick them on the sword and carry them on his body.

This was also the reason why Xie Xuanyi trusted him to stop the ten evil cave heaven cultivators.

The southern part of Xinjiang is sneaky and most afraid of thunder.

Duan Zhao's Vajra physique has amazing defense, and combined with the thunder magic talismans, it is like double insurance.

This is not over yet.

At this moment, the top of Tailing Mountain has been covered by Xie Xuanyi's divine consciousness, and the area within a hundred feet has turned into a pool of sword energy.

This battle.

This was the "battle of life and death" carefully created by Xie Xuanyi.

Duan Zhao just tried his best.

As for the rest, someone will cover it for him.

……

……

Halfway up Tailing Mountain.

The rolling dark clouds were shattered by the sword energy, heavy rain fell, and thunder flashed.

Three evil cultivators at the Quasi-Yin God Realm were suspended in the air, their robes fluttering.

They noticed the pool of sword energy on the top of the mountain, but no one took action to break the balance.

The competition within the Southern Xinjiang Evil Sect is fierce.

Life-and-death battles take place every day.

Going north to the Imperial City for negotiations was an extremely dangerous mission. If the cave-heaven cultivator who came here with the three envoys died, it would mean that his ability was average and his fate was like this… If ten people fighting against one cannot take him down, it would be better for them all to die in this wilderness!

What's more, the three of them could see that the pool of sword energy covering the top of the mountain was controlled by Xie Zhen's divine consciousness.

Facing one against three, he still dared to be arrogant and released his divine power to control the battlefield in the cave.

The three quasi-Yin Gods all wanted to see to what extent Xie Zhen's divine consciousness had been cultivated, and how long he could last after being consumed by the sword pool.

"My two fellow Taoists, there is no need to take action for now."

Wu Yin stretched out an arm and said calmly: "Let me find out the truth about Xie Zhen."

"Left Wu Shi...be careful."

Huai Ting narrowed his eyes, warned in a deep voice, and then quietly retreated several feet. He had no intention of attacking in the first place, and Wu Yin's words were what he wanted even more.

This is a life-and-death struggle.

If Xie Zhen dares to come, it means he really has the means.

Whoever takes the lead at this moment will be in danger of extinction.

"..."

Cangyin remained silent, but she chose to watch at this moment. However, she pulled out the guqin covered in her robe. The guqin was suspended upright, and in the heavy rain, it made several broken and incomplete sounds.

Wu Yin sat cross-legged and put his hands together again.

The Tiangui Sect is best at the art of refining corpses.

Wu Yin's master is the infamous "Mo Dao Ren". It is said that this Mo Dao Ren has refined as many as five Yin Shen Realm Heavenly Corpses!
If fighting in close combat between people of the same realm, the cultivators of the Tiangui Sect will definitely be at a disadvantage.

This is the same reason why flying sword monks cannot engage in hand-to-hand combat.

but……

If we keep our distance, it will be a different matter.

Once the cave of the evil cultivator of the Tiangui Sect is opened, an endless stream of zombies will fly out!

"Xie Zhen, have you ever experienced the Ghost Cave Heaven of the Tiangui Sect?"

A scarlet light burned in Wu Yin's pupils.

As the words rang out, fire ignited in his lower abdomen, and raindrops from all directions gathered towards him. This ball of scarlet fire was like a bottomless abyss. After it was lit, it seemed to dye the area within a radius of several miles red!
"Ghost Cave Heaven..."

Huai Ting looked solemn.

The "Tao" of Taoist Mo is called Ghost, and it can refine the five Yin God corpses, which is enough to prove the power of this cave.

The Dasui Sword Palace controls weapons, and the Taoist sect controls energy.

The Tiangui Sect has taken a different approach, directly controlling people, refining the dead into corpses, combining mechanical techniques, and bringing them into the cave... After practicing, the master of the cave will improve his realm, and the living corpses that have been cultivated in the cave will also improve their realm! It is said that the "sky corpse" in the Mo Taoist's cave can leave the cave and act independently without being restricted by distance. Just listening to the description, it can be compared with the Taoist supreme magic "body incarnation".

What is this concept?
The incarnation outside the body is almost a legendary magic. It is said that to perform this technique, one needs to at least reach the state of perfection of Yang Shen!
of course.

The way of ghosts is, after all, an evil way, and there are definitely many limitations when using it.

Facing the great Taoist master who had achieved the perfection of Yang Shen, Taoist Mo was nothing but an ant.

But at this moment, as the scarlet flames burned into a door, a total of three blood-red shadows emerged from behind Wu Yin.

When these three figures appeared, Huai Ting's expression became extremely gloomy and ugly.

At this moment he understood why Wu Yin had volunteered.

"The three caves are perfect..."

These three ghosts have surprisingly already condensed their own caves and heavens, and they are only one step away from finalizing the caves and heavens!
This means that Wu Yin’s “Way of Ghosts” is almost solidified.

As long as he is promoted to Yin God.

Then it won’t be long before these three ghosts will follow their master and advance into the realm of Yin God!
Besides.

The ghost cave opened wide, and behind the three ghosts that had completed the cave were dozens or even hundreds of dark puppet shadows.

These are all the “zombies” refined by Wu Yin!
The sky above Moss Ridge was densely packed with red shadows.

This scene is extremely shocking.

Xie Xuanyi had to admit that the Tiangui Sect's magic was tainted with evil. If Wu Yin could cultivate to the level of Yin Shen, he would probably have the ability to destroy mountains and destroy sects.

compare to.

Wu Qiong on the Jia Geng seemed a little immature.

"Kill him for me." Wu Yin opened the cave and gave orders to the puppet behind him.

Rumble.

The clouds in the sky above Tailing were surging, and countless puppet shadows swarmed down like locusts, flying towards Xie Xuanyi.

"Buzz!"

The sword rang, and the umbrella sword that Xie Xuanyi had thrown out earlier whistled back at this moment, flew back in front of Xie Xuanyi, and inserted into the lawn.

Xie Xuanyi did not stretch out his hand to pull it up, but casually flicked his sleeves, causing the scabbard and sword body to vibrate out, and used his spiritual power to transform it into a "flying sword", like wild grass in the spring breeze, separating and combining, combining and separating. Facing the attack of countless puppets at this moment, the best way was to control the sword with Qi. Xie Xuanyi stood in place without moving a step.

But the tip of the scabbard seemed to be held by someone, drawing an exquisite curve in the air.

It's different from the usual flying sword killing technique.

In Wu Yin's eyes, although Xie Zhen did not move, the flying umbrella and sword seemed to be held by the sword cultivator himself. It was as if two identical "Xie Zhen" suddenly appeared on the Tailing lawn, one holding an umbrella and the other holding a sword, and they just rushed into the tide of puppet shadows.

How high a level of swordsmanship does this require?

How strong a spiritual foundation does it require?
"Follow my command and set up the Soul-Destroying Formation!"

An ominous gloom passed through Wu Yin's heart. He raised his sleeves, and the three cave heavens' perfect ghosts instantly dispersed. Together with Wu Yin, they settled in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, and formed a huge formation with a radius of one hundred feet above Xie Zhen's head. The ghost path spread in the void like a tide.

"Soul-destroying formation?"

Xie Xuanyi looked up with interest.

He heard a familiar word, "destruction".

Countless ancient texts appeared on the ceiling, and within a few breaths, the Ghost Dao condensed into a formation above Xie Xuanyi's head.

This large formation was completed at an incredibly fast speed.

And there was no strange phenomenon, it looked ordinary.

But when Xie Xuanyi's mind passed by, he felt the frightening "killing power". It was said that the reason why the Nanjiang Tiankui Sect was established was because the founder of the sect accidentally obtained a stone tablet from an ancient battlefield. After deciphering the ancient text, he comprehended the ancient Taoist tradition that had been lost for thousands of years. Now that he has seen the ancient text of the Soul-Destroying Formation condensed by Wu Yin, it is enough to prove that the rumor is true.

"……interesting."

Xie Xuanyi murmured softly. He could feel the same great Dao fluctuations as his own Dao of Destruction from the Soul-Destroying Formation.

The way of the world is indeed not divided into left and right.

I think that the stone tablet picked up by the founder of Tiangui Sect back then recorded part of the true meaning of the Dao of Destruction!
"Formation completed, exterminate the soul!"

Wu Yin quickly folded his hands, scarlet blood and fire surged, and he formed one ancient seal after another.

The three ghosts performed exactly the same movements.

The Soul-Destroying Formation locked onto Xie Zhen tightly, and a bloody tide began to surge, a heart-pounding wave piled up at this moment...

Huai Ting looked fearful, and continued to retreat without making a sound.

He originally thought that Wu Yin was "dissolute and unruly" and not serious in his daily life, and was not someone worthy of attention.

I didn't expect there would be such a method!

No wonder he dared to catch the attention of the Quasi-Yin God of the Hehuan Sect...

Now Huai Ting has no doubt that Wu Yin wants to practice dual cultivation with Cangyin in order to refine this cold-faced beauty into the fourth zombie in the Ghost Cave!

On the other side, Cangyin's expression also became unusually serious.

She held the guqin and also retreated.

The blood-red tide that rolled in the void, with a terrifying power that was enough to drive the soul to destruction, spread out halfway up the mountain. The huge guqin came into contact with it, and continued to vibrate loudly.

Xie Zhen, who was in the center of the Soul-Destroying Formation, kept his head raised the whole time.

After the Soul-Destroying Formation was completed.

Huai Ting and Cangyin both heard the sound of "waves" rising deep in their souls.

The sound was extremely deep and could easily make people lose their minds.

If you are not careful, you will be immersed in it.

"This Xie Zhen is too arrogant..."

Huai Ting saw Cangyin retreating and falling beside him, and couldn't help shaking his head, saying in disappointment: "Relying on your high spiritual realm, you dare to separate half of it and use it on the sword pool on the top of the mountain. How can the remaining half withstand the attack of the Soul-Destroying Formation?"

Xie Zhen is indeed very strong.

The strength displayed by this young man on the surface is only at the level of Dongtian, which is extremely deceptive.

Huai Ting couldn't see Xie Zhen's true realm. He knew that this kid's spiritual realm was far higher than he thought, but no matter how powerful he was... he was just a quasi-Yin God.

Cangyin stared at him and asked softly, "Does Huaizhengshi think Xie Zhen will die?"

"This kid's eyes are blurry. He has been bewitched by Wu Yin... From the current perspective, he is doomed to die."

Huai Ting asked curiously: "Could it be that Cang Youshi think there are still variables?"

"..."

Cangyin did not answer this question.

The sound of the souls in the Soul-Destroying Formation was like a surging tide, one wave higher than the other. This scene seemed to have brought back her memories...

A complex look flashed across Cangyin's eyes, and she said softly, "It will be revealed soon."

The words fell to the ground.

The soul-destroying array filled with tides burst out at this point. Wu Yin raised his hands and pressed down hard.

The three perfect ghosts pressed down together.

The majestic soul sound turned into a sky-high sword at this moment and slashed down at Xie Zhen's head.

The young man in black looked up at the bright red formation, and his eyes instantly regained clarity.

"The sound of soul destruction is indeed interesting."

Xie Xuanyi watched the tidal evolution of the Soul-Destroying Array and was unknowingly fascinated by it. However, this fascination was completely different from what Huai Ting had imagined.

He took the initiative to enter the Tao and tried to dismantle the soul-destroying tide.

This analysis allowed Xie Xuanyi to come to a conclusion.

The stone tablet obtained by the founder of the Tiangui Sect did record some of the true meaning of the "Principle of Destruction", but unfortunately... the Path of Ghosts can only carry part of it, and this great formation only obtained a partial true interpretation of the "Principle of Destruction".

It's enough to deal with others.

But when dealing with Xie Xuanyi who has comprehended the complete principle of destruction.

like water off a duck's back.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The sharp sound of metal colliding resounded between heaven and earth. Xie Xuanyi did not dodge at all. He let the soul sound of the Soul-Destroying Formation fall on his soul and had no intention of retreating.

A ray of dark Dao principles emerged from between Xie Xuanyi's eyebrows.

The Way of Destruction has condensed 70% -

The soul-destroying tide collapsed and disintegrated directly under the attack from the principle of destruction.

This is not the same level of Tao at all.

In addition, Xie Xuanyi's spiritual realm is much higher than Wu Yin's.

An ant trying to shake a tree, or an egg trying to hit a rock, is no more than this.

"???"

Wu Yin's pupils contracted, he couldn't understand the scene before him.

Only a ray of black light appeared.

The young man standing in the center of the blood-red tide waved his finger.

Bang bang bang!
The three perfect corpse puppets of the cave heaven exploded!
