Embers of Sword

Chapter 319 One Sword

"interesting……"

Perhaps because Xie Zhen's words were too absurd, Miao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Thank you, donor, are you thinking too much?"

The reason why he released the three moves.

It is because this golden body has cultivated to the state of absolute perfection.

Before crossing to the west, Miaozhen looked around and found that the only cultivator in the world who could break his golden body in the cave realm was Junshan.

After this statement was made, the entire Dachu Imperial City was discussing, denouncing, and angrily accusing the Buddhist disciples of Fanyin Temple of being too arrogant.

Now, Xie Zhen is even crazier than me!

Xie Xuanyi just smiled indifferently.

He didn't put down the finger he raised.

He was waiting for Miaozhen's response.

The smile on Miao Zhen's face gradually faded: "If you win, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "This matter does not violate the law, nor does it harm the harmony of nature. Rather than doing anything else, what I care more about... is that the Buddhist disciples of Fanyin Temple were defeated by me. I owe them a debt in front of the whole world."

"Okay, I agree."

When the strong wind blows, the Sanskrit mantra on the top of the golden pagoda emits the sound of magnificent bells and drums.

Miao Zhen raised her head and said slowly: "If you can break this golden body with one sword, I will not only apologize, but also owe you a favor. You can use me at your command once. But if you can't break this golden body with one sword, let Jun Shan do it... It's still early today, and everything is not over yet. I look forward to the duel with the person who is truly destined to be with me."

……

……

Miaozhen's words spread from the top of the Golden Body Pagoda.

Onlookers at Qianyuan Lake, the top of Hongshan Mountain, and even in front of the gate of Dapudu Temple witnessed this scene that took everyone by surprise.

"Xie Zhen...seems even crazier than Miao Zhen!"

"One sword, one sword to break the flawless golden body of the Brahma Sound Temple?"

"Can this really be done?!"

"Don't forget, he is Xie Xuanyi's disciple!!"

In the past few days, the morale of the Dachu Imperial City was very low, almost falling below freezing. This time, the Western Crossing Mission came to the Dapudu Temple to give lectures. On the surface, it was a friendly exchange, but in fact it was also a silent provocation. The young monks who followed the mission to the West were all the most talented practitioners of the younger generation of the Fanyin Temple. Whether it was debating, discussing the Dao, or fighting, Dachu was unable to gain an advantage. With the "defeat" of Wuzong, the Qin family, and a group of aristocratic families, the people of the Dachu Imperial City, who had been in high spirits, gradually became silent.

The neighboring states of Chu and Li had been fighting each other for hundreds of years.

The most direct manifestation of the competition in national power between the two countries is not just the number of cavalry and the income of the people.

The mission was the best opportunity for the two countries to compare the strength of their young people... This Buddhist disciple from the Fanyin Temple alone was enough to overwhelm Da Chu. Everyone was looking forward to the emergence of a "genius" who could compete with them. In the past few days, many people went to visit Junshan, hoping to invite this reincarnated real person to the Da Pudu Temple to take away Miao Zhen's limelight!
This is the reason why Junshan did not show up.

Thanks to the Taoist hype, he has become the life-saving straw in the hearts of countless people in Da Chu.

If he loses.

There is no turning back in this dispute of pride.

……

……

"No wonder Miao Zhen dares to speak so arrogantly. Bathed in the Buddha's light and blessed with good fortune, it can be said that the great trend has arrived."

"This golden statue... I'm afraid even if we join forces, we won't be able to break it."

"With just one strike of the sword, can Young Master Xie really break the golden body?"

On the top of Hongshan Mountain, there were several guest officials watching the battle, all with worried expressions on their faces, whispering to each other.

The seventy Sanskrit mantras that lit up the Mingsha Staff gave people a great sense of oppression when viewed through the golden tablet.

With the body of Dongtian, he killed the Yin spirit with a stick.

Miaozhen's realm at this moment can be said to have reached the true pinnacle of the Cave Heaven Realm!
"Nonsense! Of course!"

Duan Zhao was furious when he heard this: "Who is my little mountain master? Once he says something, it's like spilling water on it... If he says a sword, then it's a sword!"

These words left the guest officials watching the game speechless.

Although it is righteous words.

But Duan Zhao actually had no idea.

He whispered, "Miss Bai Yi, given our relationship, there is nothing to hide now. Tell me, what is the young master planning while listening to music in the teahouse these days?"

"..."

Deng Baiyi smiled bitterly.

The little guy was very courageous at first, because he was sure that Xie Zhen had a backup plan.

"I don't know if Xie Zhen has a backup plan."

Deng Baiyi sighed and transmitted his voice, "All I know is that he was really listening to music in the teahouse these past few days... Whenever he went to the teahouse, he would immerse himself in the music, lost in thought, and didn't mention today's duel to me."

"???"

Duan Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and was a little dumbfounded: "Master's Wife, are you serious? He didn't say how to deal with Miao Zhen? Was the so-called words of a sword just a spur-of-the-moment idea?"

“Maybe… that’s it.”

Deng Baiyi's cheeks turned red when she heard the familiar title, but this time she didn't correct it.

Thoughts are flying.

Deng Baiyi held up a paper umbrella, thought for a moment, and murmured, "The battle of sword energy is originally a battle of wills. It's normal for it to happen on impulse."

Everyone on the top of Red Mountain looked up and stared at the golden tablet spread out.

The Golden Body Tower appeared after the conversation between the two ended.

Then there was a brief silence.

Seventy Mingsha mantras, blown by the wind, turned into golden talismans, firmly suppressing the top of the golden body tower.

Miaozhen stood on the top of the tower holding a magic staff.

A strong wind blew, and the monk's robes fluttered like towering mountains.

the other side.

The sword energy cave between the boy's eyebrows slowly opened, and thousands of strands of sword energy swept out from the cave. Each strand of sword energy turned into a swimming fish. After just a few dozen breaths, millions of dark fish were swimming around Xie Xuanyi... The world on the top of the tower that was imprisoned by the mantra of the Mingsha treasure staff seemed to have become a golden fish tank of the Buddhist kingdom.

The picture is beautiful, with gold and black intertwined.

Miao Zhen stood there, silently admiring this rare beauty... He had to admit that this young man's sword realm was truly extraordinary. Even if he looked down from the height of his previous life's Yang God, he could still perceive many remarkable points. An invisible sword intent had already been brewing at the top of the Golden Body Tower. It wouldn't be long before these sword intents would erupt and form a storm. And he was standing at the center of the storm at this moment. Every sword energy fish made him feel "oppressed" and "uneasy."

Being able to do this means that Xie Zhen's sword energy can already threaten his golden body.

A hundred breaths passed.

The sword intent is still increasing and the storm is still brewing.

The uneasiness and oppression deep in his heart grew more and more intense, but Miaozhen did not urge him. He led the delegation westward and had been preaching here for seven days.

It took seven days of accumulated luck and momentum.

Now Xie Zhen only has the chance to stab with his sword... It's fair that this young man needs time to accumulate sword power.

Another hundred breaths passed.

The dark clouds covering the Golden Body Pagoda began to rumble with dull thunder.

The entire golden body tower was almost filled with pitch-black sword intent. Sword energy fish containing the aura of the "destruction" principle densely surrounded Miao Zhen. The three-inch space where the young Buddhist disciple stood became the last and only clear place in this world.

The rise of sword intent has reached its peak.

The principle of destruction has been condensed to ninety-nine percent.

Just a little bit more and it will be completely solidified, allowing the sword energy to settle in the cave.

Xie Xuanyi accurately controlled the progress, allowing the Way of Destruction to hover just before the threshold of "great success".

"Your sword intention is very strong."

"But if it's just this extent... I'll be very disappointed."

Just at this moment, Miao Zhen's low voice sounded.

The two looked at each other through the Buddha's light, Sanskrit, sword energy and swimming fish.

Through layers of darkness and gold.

Xie Xuanyi saw a pair of eyes filled with burning passion.

"This is the battle I'm most looking forward to since I reincarnated and started over, no doubt about it."

"Even the Southern Frontier Venerable who was beaten to death with a stick earlier didn't give me this feeling."

Miaozhen conveyed her thoughts to Xie Xuanyi through telepathy.

The young Buddhist's eyes penetrated the sword energy and the cave, as if he saw deeper into Xie Xuanyi's heart. He spoke slowly, his voice sincere and powerful.

"Some competitions only come once in a lifetime."

"In this battle at the Golden Body Tower, you only used one sword."

"In that case, why not give it your all?"

……

……

"Crack!"

A cracking sound emanated from the top of Red Mountain, and the flat golden tablet that was being watched by many eyes suddenly broke apart.

The same is true for Qianyuan Sea.

The same is true for the gate of Dapudu Temple.

The Buddha's light collided with the sword energy, the darkness and the gold hit each other, the sound of cracking was loud, and the scenes in front of all the "spectators" were shattered.

Everyone looked at each other.

No one knows what the situation is like on the top of the Golden Body Pagoda at this moment.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi frowned and looked at the scene in front of him.

Miaozhen pulled the huge Mingsha staff out of the ground. The young Buddhist disciple held the staff and casually struck it out of the tower.

A loud bang!
this moment.

Xie Xuanyi could feel that the connection between the top of the golden tower and the outside world was cut off.

Golden Light Array, Sanskrit Sound Forest, Bronze Man Wall, Qianyuan Sea.

In a sense.

This is just part of the "Buddha Kingdom".

And now, Miaozhen has taken back the entire virtual Buddhist kingdom that enveloped the Great Pudu Temple, and condensed and suppressed it at the highest point of the Golden Body Pagoda.

The area is several feet in radius, and the light is flowing thousands of feet.

The haze and shadows between the two were all swept away by the Buddha's light. Even the dark principles of extinction were illuminated by the brilliant Buddha's light.

Miao Zhen raised his magic staff, but did not clear away the sword intent that Xie Xuanyi had condensed.

Quite the opposite.

He helped these "sword energy fish" to further solidify together!
Strands of invisible breath fell on Xie Xuanyi's brows, shoulders, and hair.

"Are you... sending me good luck?"

The golden light shining from the ceiling is the good fortune accumulated from the sermons given by the Fanyin Temple delegation in the past few days.

Xie Xuanyi found it a little funny. He didn't expect Miao Zhen to take the initiative to share some of her luck and send it to him.

"I hope to have a fair fight with you."

Miao Zhen said calmly: "I can see that you seem to have some concerns. If you really don't want to sacrifice your natal flying sword, you might as well accept these fortunes. In addition, you don't have to worry about our conversation being heard by anyone. The Buddha Kingdom has cut off the connection between the Golden Body Tower and the outside world."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi took a step back and reached out to brush away the golden light that fell on his shoulders.

Miaozhen's words were more like a slightly contemptuous provocation than a well-intentioned gift.

"No need for your luck."

Xie Xuanyi extended two fingers and gently pressed them against his brows: "Even if you don't use the Buddha Kingdom to cut off these images, I will still take action."

"...I actually have no concerns about this battle."

Miaozhen smiled.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze a little.

In the hole between the eyebrows of the young man in black, in addition to the pitch-black law of destruction, there was also a touch of bright white sword energy condensing out.

The second avenue.

Raw.

This principle of life has been nurtured in the deepest part of the Sword Qi Cave Heaven, and is intertwined with [Chronic Illness]...

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi stretched out his arm.

He inserted his palm into the void made up of dark swimming fish.

Sword energy bursts out and the sword sound echoes!
The pitch-black and snow-white light were entangled and swirled, and along with the Way of Life, it was pulled out... a golden flying sword that was only three feet long!
"Two avenues, together shaping the cave."

Miao Zhen showed a genuine admiration: "You are indeed a reincarnated cultivator..."

Over the past thousand years, geniuses in the cultivation world have been as numerous as crucian carp swimming across the river.

The top-level laws of birth and death are certainly difficult to comprehend, but if we extend the timeline, there should always be a few rare and gifted people who can comprehend these laws.

just.

once in a lifetime.

Almost no one can comprehend the two Dao principles in the Cave Heaven Realm and comprehend both Dao principles to such a high level.

If there is.

Then there is no way he could be just a seventeen-year-old boy.

Seeing this scene, Miaozhen was very happy.

He finally confirmed the thought in his heart.

That night in Tailing was too hasty. He rushed from Dali to Chu State in a dusty manner. His only hope was to have a few moves with his old rival "Junshan". Meeting Xie Zhen was purely a pleasant surprise... After that night, he recalled the details of the fight, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

Does Chu Guo really have such a genius who can realize two principles in the Cave Heaven Realm and can control them in the hands of himself and Junshan at the same time?

"I heard that in the past sixty years, Da Chu has produced an extraordinary swordsman named Xie Xuanyi."

Miaozhen held one hand upright in front of her chest and slowly fiddled with the Buddhist beads.

Later he asked around about the young man who happened that night at Tailing.

The monks from Dapudu Temple told him.

This young man was called Xie Zhen. He was the disciple that Xie Xuanyi accepted before he died in the North Sea.

Miao Zhen sighed and said, "I regret that I came a little late in this life and was unable to fight with Xie Xuanyi."

"God still favors you."

Xie Xuanyi held Chen Yan's hand, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Not only did I give you another chance to live your life, I also gave you the opportunity to make up for your regrets."

After saying this, he raised his sword and pointed the tip at Miaozhen.

Release your palms.

The sword energy burst out.

The two paths of birth and death intertwined with each other, and the deep-rooted illness erupted with a low roar of anger.

A long line of dark and chaotic sword energy suddenly rushed out!

This sword pierced through the Golden Body Tower.

From the zenith to the top of the tower in an instant!
Miao Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted. This sword came too fast. The power unleashed by the fusion of two top-level principles far exceeded his expectations. Seventy Buddhist mantras gathered together in an instant and turned into a barrier, but it only blocked the long line of sword energy for a moment before being cut open.

After soaking in the Immortal Fountain, the quality of the disease began to change. At this moment, when it collided with the Mingsha Staff, the magic weapon of the Yang God, it actually gained the upper hand!
Boom!

A bolt of lightning descended from the top of the Golden Body Tower!
The strong sword energy, accompanied by dull thunder, surged out, shredding the protective shield of the Buddhist beads, tearing open the cassock and robes, and cutting the tall monk's shoulder!

Wow!

The Buddhist light barrier between the golden pagoda and the ceiling was torn open at this moment.

The rain was heavy.

Rainwater fell into the tower, splashing hot mist.

The tall monk's figure, standing like a mountain, swayed violently for a moment, but he finally stood firm.

The sound of the sword lingered and echoed in the ears of the two.

The top of the golden tower.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

……

……

(There will be another update tonight. It might be late, so don't wait.)
