Embers of Sword

Chapter 301 The Reincarnated
Half an hour ago, wind and rain howled and thunder flashed above the imperial city.

A streak of light swept out from the sky above the south gate of the imperial city and merged into the clouds. Thunder flashed in all directions, and bright lightning swirled around the streak of light.

Ten miles later.

The stream of light "slowly" stopped.

In front of him, the dark clouds in the sky were cut apart by the sword energy, and a huge crack stretched across the sky above the mountains. Countless sword energies swirled and gathered, blocking the way of the flowing light.

"Master Li Zhai, it's very stormy tonight, you shouldn't go out."

A cold voice sounded from the sky.

The sword energy of Fu Liuyun resounded along with the lightning.

"Li knew long ago that tonight's trip would not be too smooth."

The light faded away.

Li Chen held the whisk in his hand, his voice calm.

He stared at the sword energy hovering in the sky and chuckled, "Little girl, you dare to stop me alone without calling Qi Lie?"

"Why would Senior Brother Qi need to take action to stop you?"

A woman in black emerged from the clouds riding a flying sword.

"What a loud tone!"

Anger flashed across the eyes of the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy: "You have only been promoted to the Yin God for three to five years, yet you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me. Today, I will teach you, a junior who does not know etiquette, a lesson on behalf of the elders of the Sword Palace!"

The words fell.

Li Chen raised his sleeves.

Countless lightning bolts fell from the sky above the mountains.

Tai Shang Zhai is good at thunder magic.

For practitioners, absorbing vital energy and replenishing themselves is considered to be going against the will of heaven. However, the Taoist practice method emphasizes the law of nature and tries to achieve "harmony between man and nature" as much as possible. Therefore, the thunder method of Tai Shang Zhai is praised by the disciples in the Zhai as "the method of following the will of heaven". If there is a heavy rain, the natural force between heaven and earth will make the thunder method performed by the monks of Tai Shang Zhai more powerful!
"Boom."

The majestic sound of thunder descended from heaven and earth.

Li Chen waved his sleeves.

One after another, huge lightning pillars as thick as several people could hug fell!
Huang Su's Fu Liuyun sword formation stood at the top of the sky, cutting off any path.

Now, Li Chen's thunder method has completely covered Huang Su...

This does not mean that he is trying to break through the sword formation and leave in a hurry.

On the contrary.

This means to start the show and have a good demonstration!
"you……"

Huang Su was surrounded by the Fu Liuyun sword formation. She frowned and looked at the vast thunder pool, vaguely puzzled.

Logically speaking.

Li Chen was in a hurry to kill Xie Zhen, but was blocked by himself. His first priority should be to break through the sword formation.

But now it seems that Li Chen is not in the least bit of a hurry.

"You think I'm anxious?"

There was a hint of teasing in Li Chen's voice. He put his hands behind his back and looked down indifferently at the little girl in the sword formation.

Young, too young.

"Interesting... So the great Grand Master left the city in the middle of the night just to compete with me to see whose killing move is more powerful?"

Huang Su sneered coldly.

"That's not right. The Dao Sect and the Sword Palace have always had a good relationship. After all, you are several generations younger than me. How could I use a killing move?"

Li Chen chuckled softly.

He said leisurely: "Tonight you and I met by chance outside the imperial city. We were in a good mood and made a few gestures. It does not harm the harmony of nature and does not violate the law."

"As for Xie Zhen, he has an outspoken personality and evil methods. Even if I don't take action..."

Li Chen confidently said, "Others will take care of it."

Huang Su frowned his beautiful brows.

She always felt that what happened tonight seemed to be extending in a direction she had not expected.

……

……

The rain began to get heavier in Tailing.

Duan Zhao, sitting under the shade of an ancient tree, stared blankly at the figure of a child floating in the distance.

The figure was wearing a Taoist robe, and the aura he exuded... made Duan Zhao feel familiar, but also confused.

He moved his head again.

Looked at Miaozhen.

Looked at the little mountain master.

He looked at the child in Taoist robe again.

The auras of these three guys are as deep as the ocean and cannot be detected.

Some things in this world are just so coincidental.

Three "reincarnated persons" met on a rainy night in Tailing. There were not many greetings between the three of them, but after looking at each other, they tacitly sent out a wisp of divine consciousness and briefly established a mountaintop barrier with a radius of only a hundred feet.

All the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang have been killed, and now there are only four people on the top of Tailing Mountain.

Because of the construction of the barrier.

This is to prevent a fourth person from hearing the conversation.

"..."

Duan Zhao rubbed his eyes and ears, and suddenly he found that he could not see clearly the three figures that were so close to him.

Even the sound could not be heard.

There is only the sound of rain.

"Junshan."

The young monk holding the Mingsha Staff directly revealed the identity of the third visitor.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still the same as always..."

Miaozhen spoke slowly and paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to describe it.

thought long time.

Miaozhen very seriously uttered a word that should not be uttered by a Buddhist.

"...shameless."

Xie Xuanyi fell silent after hearing this.

Shameless?
Although he could hear that Miaozhen did not mean any disparagement in what she said.

But it is indeed a very accurate description.

The angle, timing, and power of the sword just now were all extremely tricky. If he had not handled it carefully, his body would have been torn into pieces... and the only unlucky person after that was Miao Zhen, who led the Fanyin Temple delegation to the west to the Da Chu Imperial City.

but.

Such a tricky and sharp sword.

However, Xie Xuanyi did not feel the "killing intent" from the sword energy.

It seemed that this Junshan Zhenren drew his sword not really to kill himself.

otherwise……

This sword will be transformed into his natal flying sword, which will become faster and three feet longer in an instant!

Even if there is a way of destruction.

It is also very difficult to cope with.

"Tsk..."

Junshan Zhenren put his hands behind his back. After hearing this comment, he was not angry. Instead, he turned around and looked at Xie Zhen with a smile and asked, "Tell me, does this count as a violation of the precept of anger?"

It seems that these two were old acquaintances in their lifetime.

Xie Xuanyi asked cautiously: "Qi Yu is your disciple?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Junshan Zhenren gave an ambiguous and unpredictable response.

He is really a very strange guy. He has lived two lives.

However, Xie Xuanyi did not feel the aura of "time accumulation" from him. The tone of voice and behavior of this guy really sounded like a child who had not grown up.

"Who is Qi Yu?"

Monk Miaozhen frowned and spoke.

He traveled thousands of miles from Dali and didn't know many things.

"Since the recovery of the Sea of Gods, I have been resting in the Supreme Residence." Junshan Zhenren's eyes revealed regret, and he said with an air of seniority: "Qi Yu, this little guy, has served me for many years, serving me tea, washing clothes and cooking. He has worked hard for me even though he has no merits... In the past few years, I have taught him both swordsmanship and thunder magic, but it's a pity that he hasn't learned either."

Xie Xuanyi understood.

He drew out his umbrella sword and said coldly: "So that sword just now... are you here to avenge him?"

"No. It's not."

This time.

Junshan Zhenren’s answer was very direct and clear.

He said proudly: "If I wanted to kill you, the sword just now... would not be so easily resolved by you."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi fell silent again.

At this moment, he finally understood Lu Yuzhen's instructions in Dayue Kingdom.

The great era is coming and fortune is revived.

The strongest cultivators of the same realm in the Da Chu and Da Li dynasties are no longer just the prodigies of the holy land, but the reincarnated ones who have accumulated a lifetime of foundation. Whether it is Miao Zhen or Jun Shan, these two reincarnated real people have cultivated to the "Yang Shen realm" in their previous lives. In terms of cultivation qualifications, Xie Xuanyi is confident that he can surpass them, but in terms of the depth of his previous life's foundation, if he asks himself, he is slightly worse.

Most of the Yang God's methods cannot be used in the Cave Heaven Realm.

But the secret treasures of the soul brought by "reincarnation" are enough to make a difference!

If Junshan Zhenren tried his best to kill me, could I really deflect this sword?

"If you are not here to kill me to avenge Qi Yu, then why are you here tonight?"

Xie Xuanyi was a little confused.

"Does revenge for Qi Yu and killing you have to be the same thing?"

Junshan Zhenren muttered to himself, stretched out a finger, and said slowly: "The so-called cause and effect, fate, is nothing more than a beginning and an end. He served me, I taught him swordsmanship and thunder magic, and this cause and effect has been resolved. He was stabbed to death by you in the North Suburb Villa. I returned a sword energy tonight, and the remaining cause and effect has been paid off."

Xie Xuanyi rubbed his eyebrows.

This statement is a bit obscure, but not difficult to understand.

Junshan Zhenren's attitude towards Qi Yu is completely different from Li Chen's attitude towards Fang Hang.

Li Chen regards Fang Hang as his treasure.

So Fang Hang died in his hands, and Li Chen wished he could cut himself into pieces.

But Qi Yu died.

The only thought of Junshan Zhenren was to settle the cause and effect... This cause and effect had been settled with that sword just now.

"Jiligulu, what on earth are you talking about?!"

At this moment, Monk Miaozhen could no longer bear it.

He drew out his Zen staff, pointed it at Junshan, and shouted angrily, "We have all died once. After so many years, can't you change your bad habit of beating around the bush?"

Without waiting for Junshan Zhenren to speak.

He threw the Mingsha Staff directly out.

Boom!
The wind and thunder roared, and thirty-one mantras burst out in an instant, transforming into dazzling golden characters, blocking and submerging half of the sky!

"???"

This horrifying scene made Duan Zhao, who was far away outside the barrier, stunned.

Even Xie Zhen was amazed.

From this move, it can be seen that Miao Zhen had just fought against him... but he obviously held back and did not use his full strength.

The magic staff instantly smashed in front of the child in Taoist robes.

hum!
Rumble!
This move was so fast that Junshan Zhenren had no time to use other means. He quickly put his hands together and clamped the Mingsha Staff with the thunder talisman. His originally calm and comfortable face instantly turned red due to the impact of the strong energy. Countless thunders rolled down and poured into the Mingsha Staff. The Taoist Tianzun's precepts also emerged, forming a counter-attack with the Buddhist Sanskrit!
The rumbling thunder spread.

"Bald donkey, are you sick?!"

Junshan Zhenren cursed loudly and was extremely angry.

"…You are the one who is sick."

Miao Zhen spoke seriously, pulling the Zen staff through the air with one hand to maintain the suppression of Jun Shan Zhenren, while with the other hand, he threw the Buddhist beads high up.

The top of Tailing Mountain was suddenly completely submerged by the blazing light of the sun.

Countless sword energies rushed out from between Junshan Zhenren's eyebrows, and the Buddhist beads and sword energy collided with each other in a mighty manner. This scene could be described as a "fight between gods". It was clearly two Cave Heaven Realm cultivators attacking each other, but the scene and posture were not inferior to that of Yinshen Venerable!
"My dear mother..."

Duan Zhao, who was sitting under the shade of an ancient tree, watched this wonderful show and couldn't help but touch the wind and thunder bracelet on his wrist.

His mother had specifically reminded him of this before he left Forget-Your-Sorrow Island.

The great era is coming.

In the dynasty, you may very likely encounter the so-called "reincarnated person". Remember, the existence of a reincarnated person is not something that a genius of the same realm can challenge. If you are troubled by a "reincarnated person", show your bracelet and report your identity. Don't even think about fighting.

Watching the fight between the two cave-heaven monks, Duan Zhao realized his mother's good intentions...

However, Duan Zhao suddenly had a very strange idea.

If the "reincarnated immortal" is invincible, then what about the Little Xie Mountain Master who was almost equal to Miao Zhen before?
……

……

The top of Tailing Mountain was illuminated by day.

Thousands of raindrops, before they even fell, were evaporated by the scorching sun and turned into countless hot air.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi, standing between the sword energy and the Buddha's light, had a very complicated expression and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Logically speaking, he was the "primary target" of the two reincarnated masters.

But I don’t know why…

Now the two men started fighting each other.

Instead, I became the only idle person.

Tonight's meeting was a little funny and absurd.

He sighed softly, retracted his umbrella sword, and prepared to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. All the evil cultivators in southern Xinjiang had been killed, and the "Demon-Extermination" plan was destined to be postponed. There was no point in staying any longer.

Just when Xie Xuanyi's umbrella sword was sheathed.

In his heart, the anxious voice of Junshan Zhenren rang out.

"Mr. Xie, what are you still standing there for... help me now!"

Although the thirty-one mantras of the Mingsha Staff did not directly break Junshan Zhenren's spine, they pressed him down to the ground from a distance of three feet above the ground.

Because this body was too young, Junshan could only look up at the tall Miaozhen in the distance.

This angle is very uncomfortable.

But there is no way.

He could only glare at Miao Zhen while urging her through voice transmission: "Wait, wait, you don't think I really want to attack you, do you? With your realm, you should be able to sense that the sword just now did not have the intention to kill! This matter is really hard to explain in a few words, I will explain it to you slowly in detail later. The most urgent thing is to suppress this bald donkey first! Think about it, we are both monks of the Da Chu Dynasty, but this bald donkey is from Dali, and tonight we have the opportunity to fight two against one... If we beat him up, how can the Western Envoys of the Fanyin Temple have the face to come to the Imperial City to preach next time?!"

Xie Xuanyi looked strange.

Because at the same time, the voice of Monk Miaozhen also sounded in his own heart.

"Thank you... Thank you, benefactor. I was wrong before. I misunderstood the benefactor's identity."

Miao Zhen was very polite, and his tone seemed calm at first glance, but if you looked closely, you would find that his face was flushed and there was anger in his eyes.

At the top of Tailing Mountain, the Buddha's light from the precious pearl continued to collide with the sword energy.

This battle of energy seems to be evenly matched.

But the sword energy of Junshan Zhenren is even more powerful.

After several collisions, Junshan's sword energy had knocked several cracks into Baozhu Huaguang!
It is obvious that these two reincarnated persons are now really angry.

"I heard that you had an argument with the Taoist Grand Master Li Chen."

Monk Miaozhen spoke in a deep voice, inviting him: "This 'Junshan Zhenren' is Li Chen's teacher. I believe he came here tonight to have a grudge with Tai Shangzhai Daozi. How about you and I work together to capture him?"
