Embers of Sword

Chapter 298 Visitors
Rain fell from the sky and sword energy burst out.

The moment the umbrella sword was sheathed, Xie Xuanyi took a step forward. With his body as the center of the circle, the raindrops broke in all directions, and a circle of sword ripples spread out quickly! !

"Om-"

The sound of sword and piano rang out together!
Chu Man slowly pressed her hands on the strings, and an invisible wave spread out, colliding with the ripples of sword intent.

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly.

He felt an extremely familiar aura of Tao from Chu Man.

The rain was drifting, and when it fell on the woman's body, it was bounced away by the sound waves. Only an ethereal statue of a god was seen hovering above Chu Man's head.

The great way has not yet solidified, but the Dharma has already appeared!
This is the same vision as Xie Sheng using the power of incense and fire to condense the "Red Dragon Dharma Image".

If Chu Man's Dao is stable and he is promoted to Yin God, this Dharma image will solidify in this form.

Although this Dharma image currently only has a vague outline, its general expression and aura are very similar to Lu Yuzhen's "Pure White Saint".

Only the color is different.

Lu Yuzhen’s pure white saint is a holy and solemn snow-white color.

Chu Man's unsolidified Dharma image was bright red in color, emitting a fiery and burning Taoist spirit.

"Thank you, Mr. Ke. Sooner or later, we will be fellow travelers."

Chu Man said in a gentle voice: "Why should we fight to the death between you and me?"

"Who is the guest of Paper Man Dao? Who is your fellow Daoist?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke coldly, with even more murderous intent in his eyes.

Swish!
He took another step forward, sword energy burst out, and the way of destruction was directly condensed to 90%!
The pitch-black little sword that killed Wu Yin flashed and descended in front of Chu Man in an instant.

The sound of the guqin turns into flowing water, flowing down layer by layer and turning into a cover of flowing water.

However, this layer of piano sound shield is simply unable to stop the Way of Destruction from advancing!
The small black sword pierced directly through the mask.

Thousands of layers of flowing water shattered in an instant!

Xie Xuanyi's principle of destruction, fighting against the enemy, highlights the unreasonableness.

Fighting in the same situation.

If you want to fight against the law of destruction, you need to use the power of the law of the same level!

Seeing this scene, Chu Man did not look surprised. She just sighed lightly and stepped back calmly, while raising her hand and placing it on her forehead.

The strange and bright-colored image of the "Blood-Red Saint" behind him burned completely at this moment!
"珰!"

A clear and resounding sound echoed over the moss ridge.

The black sword condensed by the Way of Destruction did not successfully pierce Chu Man's chest, but hit the surface of a large cauldron that was shining brightly.

The image of the “Blood Red Saint” solidified for a short moment.

Chu Man's brows shone brightly, and her calm and indifferent eyes were now covered with a layer of red.

A huge tripod hangs high on the ceiling.

Above the big cauldron, sat a familiar figure to Xie Xuanyi.

"Thank you, brother. Nice to meet you again."

Dao Jiu sat on the cauldron, his expression calm and his tone kind: "After just a few months of not seeing you, your sword intent has improved amazingly... This kind of Dao principle containing the meaning of 'destruction' was an extremely rare power even a thousand years ago."

The sword energy strikes the bell, materializing at this moment.

Ninety percent of the "Law of Destruction" was condensed and crashed into the surface of the Beihai Lingdao furnace.

Dao Jiu, who was the spirit of the cauldron, released his divine thoughts and summoned out the ancient texts on the surface of the Dao furnace, transforming them into Dao seals containing true meanings that revolved around the cauldron. The Dao Principle of Destruction, which had not yet solidified, attacked the cauldron again and again, but was blocked by the Dao seals again and again. This was the first time that Xie Xuanyi felt the obstruction of the "Dao Principle of Destruction" in the Cave Heaven Realm.

"...Daojiu, is this the choice you made?"

Xie Xuanyi calmly looked at the handsome spirit with fluttering sleeves.

After leaving Beihailing.

Daojiu's temperament changed slightly.

He changed into a red shirt, and he still looked as misty as ever, but there was a carefree smile between his brows.

"good."

Dao Jiu chuckled and said, "This is the choice I made."

Follow Lu Yuzhen.

It was the most correct decision he had ever made.

Lu Yuzhen gave him an unprecedented and wonderful "new life".

No magic was used to cleanse the soul.

The soul that Dao Jiu condensed with great difficulty was preserved intact, and the [Dao Furnace] was also watered with a large amount of blood, and its quality was further improved. Now that the [Dao Furnace] has a new master, Chu Man and Dao Jiu's mind are connected. He has both a master and freedom, and he does not have to worry about the risk of the soul being destroyed.

Xie Xuanyi slowly moved his head and looked at Chu Man.

Chu Man refined the [Dao Furnace] into his own magical weapon, and thus condensed this "Blood Red Saint" in advance.

No wonder……

No wonder she dared to show up in front of me.

"Xie Zhen, you didn't have to take action tonight."

Chu Man smiled and said, "After the meeting with the Imperial City Division is over, I will kill all these evil cultivators... They will have no chance of returning to Southern Xinjiang alive."

The moment I saw Chu Man.

Xie Xuanyi then understood Lu Yuzhen’s plan.

For the three major sects, it is better to eliminate the demons in the southern border sooner rather than later.

But Lu Yuzhen still needs some time to prepare.

What Lu Yuzhen was going to do was actually the same as what he was doing——

Postpone the exorcism!

Therefore, the three major sects' delegations heading north were doomed to be overthrown.

"When it comes to killing people, I'm more used to doing it myself."

Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly, and he recalled the Dao of Destruction, seemingly restraining his killing intent. But in the deepest part of the Sword Qi Cave Heaven, [Chronic Illness] began to tremble slightly.

"Tell me earlier."

Chu Man smiled and said, "The Taoist master said that you hate the Yinshan monks very much... If I had known Huai Ting earlier, I would have let you kill him."

There was a slight pause.

"correct."

Chu Man said sincerely: "The Taoist master also said that Xie Keqing has a great secret. If we meet, we must be careful of flying swords... I guess the flying sword that the Taoist master is talking about must not be the 'Dao of Destruction' just now, right?"

Fight twice.

Whether it is Beihailing or Tailing.

Chu Man has never seen Xie Zhen’s natal flying sword!

"..."

The sword energy between Xie Xuanyi's brows stagnated for a moment.

"To be valued so highly by the Taoist master, one must have extraordinary abilities."

Chu Man sighed and said softly, "Perhaps even if Dao Jiu and I join forces, we can't escape Xie Keqing's killing move... But tonight in Tailing is not a good opportunity to take action."

"Do you think I'm afraid of the Imperial City's special envoy?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

He knew that tonight Tailing would be the venue for a meeting between the Imperial City's special envoy and the three sects' envoys.

This kind of thing is hard to bring to the table.

Even if the evil cultivator from Southern Xinjiang is killed in front of the Imperial City Administration, the laws of Da Chu will not impose punishment!

"Of course not a special envoy."

Chu Man smiled and said, "If the special envoy arrives now, thank you for your permission, I will kill one more damned person for you."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to activate his natal flying sword and try to kill Chu Man who was protected by the [Dao Furnace], but as soon as this thought came to his mind, an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

His heart's perception is extremely accurate!
The presence of this premonition meant that Chu Man was not exaggerating.

Not a special envoy...

Another figure appeared in Xie Xuanyi's heart.

He knew that the person who hated him the most in the imperial city right now was Li Chen, the master of the Taoist Tai Shang Zhai.

The Northern Hunt was over, and all the members of Yuqingzhai had returned to the Taoist sect.

Li Chen, however, brought the disciples of Tai Shang Zhai to stay in the imperial city, and they found an inn to stay in.

obviously.

This is waiting for me to leave the city.

However, the intention of the Supreme Master Li Chen was too obvious, so Xie Xuanyi had a backup plan before leaving the Chen Mansion... Huang Su was outside the imperial city, responsible for intercepting the Supreme Master. If Li Chen could really overcome the obstruction of the "Fu Liuyun" sword formation, Huang Su would inform him as soon as possible.

and so……

It wasn't Li Chen who made his heart feel dangerous.

"The work of exorcising demons is not only done by the Great Chu Dynasty."

Chu Man smiled and told a little about Lu Yuzhen's plan: "Xie Keqing should know that there is a group of people in the Dali Dynasty who also kill demons and behead evil spirits when they meet them... The reason why we chose to meet in Tailing tonight is actually to find a logical excuse to make all these southern border demons die in Dachu."

"…Buddhism."

Xie Xuanyi's eyes lit up slightly.

He vaguely understood Lu Yuzhen's plan this time.

After all, this peace talk was instigated by the Da Chu royal family. The news of the demon-slaying campaign has been released. No holy land family would send experts to kill the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang and deliberately prevent the demon-slaying campaign...

But if it was done by people from the Dali Dynasty, it would be very reasonable.

[“News came from Fangyuanfang. It is said that the Buddhist disciples of this generation, following the order of the Zen master, have already set out from Liguo... Soon, they will arrive in Dachu, teach Buddhism at the Dapudu Temple, and bring back the Buddha bones and corpses of the monks who passed away that year.”]

Xie Xuanyi suddenly remembered the news that Chen Jingxuan said.

Recently, a delegation from the Zen master of the Dali Dynasty is crossing the west, preparing to go to the Dachu Imperial City to receive the Buddha's bones from the Dapudu Temple.

The leader of this delegation heading west is none other than the "appointed" Buddhist disciple of today's Buddhism.

"Thank you, Mr. Ke. The leader of the Buddhist delegation to the west is named Miao Zhen."

Chu Man lowered her voice and said slowly: "This guy is not comparable to Wu Yin Huai Ting... He will be here soon. If you use such a treasure, I am afraid that you will not be able to kill me, but will cause other troubles."

This is the end.

Xie Xuanyi understood the source of his uneasiness.

If [Chronic Illness] is used, even if Chu Man has [Dao Furnace] to protect him, Xie Xuanyi is still confident that he can kill her.

But how long it will take is unknown...

Xie Xuanyi didn't know to what extent Lu Yuzhen had tempered the [Dao Furnace].

"Oh, there's one more thing I need to make clear to you."

Chu Man said in a deep voice: "This monk Miao Zhen is not an easy person to get along with. According to the intelligence from Fangyuanfang of the Dali Dynasty, Miao Zhen has a heart of a bodhisattva and thunderous means. Just before crossing the river to the west, he went to the southern border alone and killed more than a hundred Yinshan monks with a stick. He even killed a Yinshan venerable who had just been promoted to Yin God with his body of a cave heaven!"

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

Use the body of Dongtian to fight against the Lord Yinshen?
"The Taoist master said that this guy is most likely the reincarnation of a certain bodhisattva. I don't know about the six magical powers of Buddhism, but this reincarnation has retained several of them."

Chu Man took a step back, and the Blood-Red Saint and the Dao Furnace behind him trembled together, drawing a brightly colored portal.

She did not leave immediately, but said meaningfully: "Da Li's martial fortune has declined, and now Bei Hai Ling's fortune has reversed, and the great era has arrived... Miao Zhen is crossing the west this time to seize the top spot on the Tianjiao list."
