Embers of Sword

Chapter 355: Cage Immortal Formation

"kill--"

The sound of the cavalry charging was deafening, and the delegation was in chaos.

The cavalry of the Cang Camp crashed into the convoy and started slashing with swords. They not only ran at the people, but also smashed the wheels and wooden compartments with their swords... For a moment, wood chips and book pages flew everywhere.

At this moment, I am too busy to take care of myself.

The monks of Fanyin Temple were very courageous and did not retreat even a single step. After their way was cut off, the monks got off their vehicles and formed a battle formation to fight against the cavalry.

Unfortunately.

The impact of the Cang Camp is too strong.

Talismans kept floating above the forest and mountains. Someone was sitting behind the scenes of the war, constantly casting formation techniques, which restricted the world within a hundred feet in radius, and the vital energy was being used up at a fraction of the original amount.

"...Cage Immortal Formation."

Junshan Zhenren's expression was grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "This formation is used by the Li Kingdom's royal family to suppress and kill Yin spirits. It is as famous as the 'Dragon Locking Formation' of the Dachu royal family. Once trapped in this formation, your vitality will become increasingly depleted."

The source of power for practitioners is vital energy.

Unless he is a warrior who only cultivates the golden body.

But even if a warrior falls into this kind of formation, it is difficult to escape. The formation will constantly drain his vitality, energy, and soul...

"Meng Kejian is in charge of 'Broken Heart Cliff'."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyes and said softly, "This Immortal Cage Formation was probably set up by him. The rain of arrows just now was probably also set up by him. He is observing all this from behind the scenes. If we don't show up and take action, he probably won't take action either."

The two generals under Chen Chong have different combat styles.

Du Yunzhong, who was previously responsible for the ambush at Baopingkou, was brave by nature and good at charging and killing!

Meng Kejian was called a "poisonous general."

This person is vicious and his style of doing things is elusive and difficult to understand.

It is precisely because of the combination of these two people, one positive and one strange, that Chen Chong's Cangyu Second Battalion can be invincible in the territory of Dali. Everyone is terrified and retreats in fear.

"This guy wants to see us trapped in the death formation?"

"I want to see if this damn formation... is as powerful as the legend says!"

Master Junshan took a deep breath. The fighting was fierce at the moment. If Meng Kejian didn't show up, the delegation would not be able to hold on any longer. There was no time for delay.

A streak of purple lightning flashed between his eyebrows!
Just as the Taoist-robed child was about to dash out, a hand lightly pressed on his shoulder.

"……Um?"

Junshan was stunned for a moment.

"Thank you and Miaozhen for your hard work in Qujiang."

Xie Xuanyi said softly, "Leave it to me this time... This formation cannot be broken by force. Brother Junshan, please stay here, find the right opportunity, break through the cavalry, and take Deng Baiyi and Miyun away from here. If I'm not mistaken, these people don't care about the scriptures of the delegation, they only care about Miyun's life and death."

Junshan looked gloomy and said unhappily, "What are you doing, little brat? Do you want to be a hero by yourself?!"

"Xie cherishes his life, but he doesn't have that much ability."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, turned around, and asked calmly: "Do you still remember the formation diagram of the 'Dragon Locking Formation'?"

This question was directed at Deng Baiyi.

"……Remember."

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "'Locking Dragon Formation' is a top-level formation of the same level as 'Phoenix Fire Formation'. It is extremely complicated to perform. The formation pattern outline you gave me at the beginning recorded the detailed formation symbols of this formation..."

"good."

Xie Xuanyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Dragon Locking Formation is an evolution of the Taoist talisman formation. The 'Cage Immortal Formation' in front of Dali also locks the vitality. In fact, it is similar to the Dragon Locking Formation. No matter how strange the formation talismans of Xuanwei Island are, they cannot escape the general principles of Taoism."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on..."

Junshan Zhenren looked depressed when he heard this. According to seniority, he was the Taoist Zhenren!

How come these two guys, when they talk about Taoist magic, I can't get a word in...

However, he is not very good at talismans.

Junshan was the master of Tai Shang Zhai and Yu Qing Zhai in his previous life. He was good at thunder magic and swordsmanship, and devoted all his attention to studying these two avenues.

"Now the situation is very simple."

Xie Xuanyi looked towards Junshan and said in a deep voice, "If you want to escape, you must first break the Immortal Cage Formation. All great formations in this world have weaknesses before they are completed. I'm not sure I can find them myself, but there happens to be a formation genius who has seen the 'Locking Dragon Formation' and can deal with this 'Immortal Cage Formation' which has a similar effect. That's why I chose to show up—"

"I will show up first and hold back the cavalry to buy time for you and Bai Yi. Once I find the weakness of the formation, I will break it directly!"

Junshan couldn't help but ask, "What about you? What will you do after breaking the formation?"

Xie Xuanyi said: "Don't worry, once you succeed in breaking through, I will catch up immediately... If the guess is true, this ambush is only aimed at Miyun. After breaking through the formation, other innocent people may be able to escape with their lives."

……

……

"Master Meng, the golden light formation of the Brahma Sound Temple delegation seems to be quiet?"

On one side of the sea of fire, deep in the dense forest.

The Yuzi Camp cavalry was on full alert. A cavalry captain asked in a low voice, "Brothers, why don't you charge?"

"No hurries?"

A thin, armored man on horseback tossed talismans toward the ceiling as he casually declared, "The Immortal Cage Formation will soon be complete. Today's dilemma is settled...Are you still worried that those people in the carriage will grow wings and fly away? If they don't come out, we'll just keep waiting. I'll see how long they can hold out."

As soon as the words fell. Swish!
A snow-white sword beam flashed out from the golden light array.

"……coming!"

Meng Kejian narrowed his pupils, licked his lips, and stared at the amazing sword energy!
I heard that a rare genius emerged from Dasui Sword Palace.

He is not much inferior to Xie Xuanyi back then!

Today, he wanted to see what realm this young swordsman who topped the list of geniuses had reached!
……

……

珰!
A muffled sound!
During the conversation, Xie Xuanyi suddenly stretched out his hand, passed through the curtain of the car, and grasped a long knife!

The long sword was extremely sharp, with pitch-black sword energy wrapped around and covering the blade. But at this moment, Xie Xuanyi's palm was like gold and iron. He clenched his palm and exerted force, pulling the man and the sword into the curtain. He gently wiped his eyebrows with two fingers, and an elite cavalryman from the Cang Camp was killed without a sound.

The Golden Light Formation was the last stronghold that the delegation was holding out for... but the Cang Camp had already broken through the defenses of the Buddhist monks.

Just killed one.

The carriage was suddenly stabbed through by a knife. The knife brushed past Deng Baiyi's nose. When he was about to chop horizontally, he was kicked away by Xie Xuanyi.

Deng Baiyi looked pale.

Before he could react, Xie Xuanyi grabbed the umbrella sword, stood up and left. The curtain of the car was blown up by the strong wind, and the next moment the umbrella sword was unsheathed, and blood splattered.

Spots of bright red blood fell into the golden light array and also fell on the slightly tilted cheek of the young man in black.

Xie Xuanyi silently took a last look at the carriage.

Then he looked forward.

Although the fight seemed fierce, the time left for the "decision" was only a dozen breaths. The iron stick formation temporarily built by the monks in the delegation had been compressed to an area of only about ten feet. Half of the monks had been hacked down in a pool of blood and looked unlikely to survive. The rest were desperately protecting the golden light formation.

Almost all the carriages of the Fanyin Temple delegation were destroyed.

There is only one car left, the Golden Light Array.

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath, and moving forward, he saw a black mass of cavalrymen... one hundred, two hundred?

The sea of fire was surging and the fog was thick.

He couldn't see clearly.

Under the suppression of the Cage Immortal Formation, Xie Xuanyi's spiritual consciousness was also affected.

Nalan Qiutong was among the many cavalrymen. She used the Mysterious Technique to create an avatar, hiding in the flood, and spoke again: "Xie Zhen, you finally came out. Have you thought it through? It's not too late to surrender now!"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi looked indifferently at the left side of the cavalry.

The sound came from there.

This time, he was too lazy to release the sword energy again... Based on his understanding of people like Nalan Qiutong, there was only one purpose for her to speak at this moment, which was to disturb his mind with the Xuanwei technique in the cage immortal formation and consume his vitality at the same time. If he couldn't kill her in person, then it would be meaningless to use the sword no matter how many times, it would just be a waste of sword energy.

"Qiang!"

Xie Xuanyi drew out his umbrella sword and struck the ground with the tip of the sword.

After a pause.

He rushed forward, and in an instant he passed the monks who were holding iron sticks and forming a formation, and crashed into the iron cavalry.

"Thank you, benefactor?!"

“Thank you, sir!!”

For a moment, many monks were horrified, and the special envoy Tietong looked even paler.

In the previous confrontation, they fully realized how difficult it was to deal with this cavalry!
Under the cover of the Cage Immortal Formation, one can only use six or seven points out of ten of his strength. Beyond that, his energy is rapidly consumed, and his spiritual thoughts can hardly extend beyond three feet around his body!
In this situation, the only option is to retreat.

Not to mention a head-on confrontation with the cavalry, even if they sustain a collision, they will lose half their life!

But Xie Zhen actually took the initiative to kill his way in? !

There was a loud sound of sword ringing, and the Spring Breeze and Wild Grass swords were unsheathed and fell into Xie Xuanyi's hands. He flew close to the ground, almost level with the ground, and the umbrella sword turned into two continuous cold lights, slashing all the way. Even though they were blessed by talismans, the cavalry of the Cang Camp still couldn't cope with the sword energy at such a tricky angle.

"Chi chi chi——"

In just a few breaths, Xie Xuanyi rushed into the iron cavalry formation and killed everyone in his path.

Dozens of cavalrymen were thrown from their horses, their hooves hacked off, and they fell heavily to the ground, taking them with them. Xie Xuanyi didn't stop charging forward, charging towards the right wing of the Cang Battalion's cavalry... He forcibly held the Cage Immortal Formation, unleashing his divine consciousness. A spring breeze and weeds chopped down the right wing's cavalry charge, instantly breaking it. He chopped down the horses but spared the cavalrymen's lives, not out of "mercy," of course, but because his purpose was crystal clear. With the Cang Battalion's commander, Du Yunzhong, away, the most important figure here was Nalan Qiutong.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

With the help of Xuanweishu, Nalan Qiutong seemed invincible.

But as long as you find out the other person's true identity.

This evil woman had no choice but to surrender!
"Stab!"

Xie Xuanyi rushed into the battle formation at an incredibly fast speed, slashing down war horses along the way. Wherever he passed, there was wailing. But when he delivered the last sword, the war horses fell to the ground with a bang, but the soldiers riding on their backs did not fall with them. Instead, they took a step ahead, pressed down on the saddles, and floated back to retreat.

Between the lightning and flint.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head.

He saw a pretty, pale face with an ugly look and full of disbelief.
