Embers of Sword

Chapter 357: Sea of Fire and Sea of Blood

"This……"

Arrows rained down from the sky, and the spectators from the Fanyin Temple delegation all had their hearts in their throats.

Tietong looked nervous.

The monks didn't even dare to look.

But unexpectedly, the rain of arrows fell with only crisp chiseling sounds. The arrows with talisman papers attached to them crackled and exploded like raindrops, landing all over the ground. The young man in black calmly held down the umbrella sword and stood in the center of the battlefield. After his clothes were torn, his exposed Vajra body was burning with Yuan Fire.

The flames emitted by Xie Zhen alone...overwhelmed the entire sea of fire.

"Golden Body Realm Completed?"

This scene made Nalan Qiutong's pupils shrink uncontrollably.

she knows.

This Xie Zhen has a great physique and is good at close combat...

But she didn't expect that this guy had cultivated his physical body to the extreme. Putting aside his swordsmanship, his attainment in the golden body alone was enough to top the list of geniuses!
This battle has just begun.

Nalan Qiutong took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and countless silver threads floated, rising again in the Cage Immortal Formation and pressing down on Xie Xuanyi's head!
When the rain of arrows stopped, roars, howls, and wails were heard from all directions... The war horses and cavalry controlled by string magic came like a tide!

"call……"

Xie Xuanyi looked at this scene and let out a breath.

This time.

He no longer prepared to draw his sword.

The Cage Immortal Formation was formed, and every bit of vital energy consumed in the formation could not be replenished. Nalan Qiutong's formation was perfect, and the combination of string techniques and the infinite charge of the iron cavalry was enough to kill most of the practitioners who entered the formation.

Except for the warriors.

Xie Xuanyi took a step forward and threw a punch at the warhorse charging towards him!
"boom!"

This punch was delivered.

The warhorse's head exploded into pieces, shattering like a watermelon!
The crimson blood mist was scattered!
"Bang bang bang!"

Xie Xuanyi continued to swing his fists, and several more figures exploded. This time it was not just war horses, but also the cavalry of the Cang Camp who came forward to fight.

Since these cavalrymen are fearless of death, Xie Xuanyi will just send them to their death.

Of course Nalan Qiutong wouldn't mind.

She knew that Meng Kejian was watching the battle. It was understandable that she used string magic to kill all the broken-legged horses of the Cang Camp. However, if she killed Du Yunzhong's elite soldiers for no reason, she would be held accountable after the war. Now that Xie Zhen took action for her, it would just add fuel to the fire. These cavalrymen who died here could be mended with string magic and continue to join the battle!

"Kill! Kill as much as you can!"

Nalan Qiutong was in high spirits and shouted in a low voice: "I want to see how capable and powerful you, Xie Zhen, are!"

Manpower is sometimes exhausted.

With the blessing of the Cage Immortal Formation and the human wave tactics controlled by the string technique, the possibilities are almost endless!

Now Xie Zhen did not use the flying sword technique, but chose to enter the game with his physical body. It seemed wise, but it would at least take a bit of effort to beat a person to death.

Just a dozen breaths.

Dozens of cavalrymen then came forward one after another and surrounded them.

There was a continuous sound of blood mist exploding with bangs, and every punch Xie Xuanyi threw would shatter a figure into pieces of flesh and blood.

At this moment, all the sounds from the outside world seemed to have disappeared.

Xie Xuanyi reached an unprecedented mysterious realm.

In the previous life, he practiced swordsmanship.

Because he was not strong enough, he could not practice the second sword method.

This life.

Thanks to the good fortune of the "Immortal Fountain", he finally cultivated the golden body divine fetus that he missed in his previous life... After the battle with Dayue Kingdom, Xie Xuanyi wanted to use the law of life to shape the divine fetus, and cooperate with the law of destruction of the Sword Qi Cave Heaven, with the dual identities of "warrior" and "sword fairy", and stepped into the realm of Yin Shen which was only a hair's breadth away!
Unfortunately, the practice of the way of life has been slow to progress.

Junshan said.

If you want to practice the way of life, you need to save the world.

This makes sense.

How can one make progress in the Taoism of the world if one does not practice it?

In my previous life, I used the "Principle of Destruction" to kill countless evil spirits and monsters...

Therefore, the Tao is accomplished without any effort at all.

But in this life, the practice of the way of life lacks such a condition.

This battle is exactly the opportunity that Xie Xuanyi has been waiting for for a long time.

He deliberately ignored the long cry of [Serious Illness], completely forgot about the existence of swordsmanship, and chose to use his own physical strength to confront the sea of string magicians in the Cage Immortal Formation...

Every time a punch is thrown, the Yuan Fire in the acupoints will vibrate!

Xie Xuanyi has never really learned boxing.

Most of his knowledge of boxing came from the Taoist Canon of Lotus Peak. When Zhao Chunyang forced him to practice sword, he also looked at some unorthodox methods. In Xie Xuanyi's eyes at the time, "body refining" was just such an unorthodox method. Xie Xuanyi had a photographic memory of all the fighting tactics in the martial arts world. With his golden body, it was very easy for him to perform them.

Another thing is the secret book of Forget-Sorrow Island that he glanced through when he was teaching Duan Zhao not long ago... In order to trick his son into practicing boxing, the owner of Forget-Sorrow Island integrated boxing into his swordsmanship. This secret book may seem useless, but it actually contains the body training experience of a martial artist in the Great Accomplishment Yang God Realm.

Although he was unable to comprehend the true body-building technique of Forget-Sorrow Island, Xie Xuanyi could still sense its mysterious essence.

now.

He relied on his instinctive state of mind to continuously punch, and each punch he threw carried with it a momentum of "burning the enemy to pieces".

Injure one thousand enemies, and self-inflict eight hundred.

He paced around the parasword stuck into the ground.

The iron cavalry, swords, and fierce horses on all sides seemed to be just fist piles waiting to be blown up...

"boom!"

"boom!"

The golden Yuan Fire burned on Xie Xuanyi's skin.

He forgot everything.

A ray of snow-white light flashed between the eyebrows, shining with unprecedented brilliance!
The smile on Nalan Qiutong's face gradually froze. After a moment, cold sweat began to seep out of her forehead. Under her string technique, these fallen soldiers could stand up and the broken horses could be pieced together. However, their "remains" were no longer complete after colliding with Xie Zhen! Each of Xie Zhen's punches was extremely heavy, and there would be no complete corpse left!
"Crash..."

After charging for dozens of breaths, the entire sea of fire was covered with layers of light scarlet color.

The rich bloody smell, which could not be blown away by the wind, enveloped the entire Qixia Mountain Road.

String techniques can only mend, not create!
The original two war horses can now only be sewn into one!
As for the soldiers, there is no need to mention them——

What’s weird is that the young man in black standing in the middle of the sea of blood didn’t look tired at all, and he continued to punch with all his strength one after another!
"..."

After watching the battle to this point, Nalan Qiutong already felt something was wrong.

This Xie Zhen is different from the orthodox body cultivators like Wu Zong Buddhism.

Although he has an extremely strong physique, his boxing skills are not top-notch. His moves seem to be grand and open, but the details are quite lacking... This is very much like a desperado fighting in the rivers and lakes. Every punch he throws is a sacrifice of his life. Either the opponent dies, or he dies. This style of fighting is indeed brutal, but how can it last long in the face of human wave tactics?

This is why Nalan Qiutong’s back was wet with sweat at this moment.

The vast majority of things in this world must comply with the laws of nature.

When a cultivator is in the Cage Immortal Formation and faces the human wave tactics, it won’t take long before he loses all his strength.

Even a warrior will have his blood, energy and vitality drained away.

But Xie Zhen...almost killed half of the Cang Camp, but his energy and blood showed no signs of drying up!
This is so unreasonable.

If the fight goes on like this, is it possible that his "string technique" really can't defeat Xie Zhen's perfect golden body?
"Meng, why don't you take action? What are you waiting for?!"

Nalan Qiutong couldn't help but send a message.

She looked towards the side of the mountain path, in the direction of the Broken Heart Cliff. After the Cage Immortal Formation was established, there was no movement over there.

obviously.

With Meng Kejian's personality, he must be hiding deep in the mountains, silently watching this fight between trapped beasts. For this layout of Qixia Mountain, his master trusted him extremely and entrusted him with great power. This battle has already consumed half of the Cang Camp. If he cannot capture Xie Zhen... reporting this matter will definitely disappoint his master.

"Miss Nalan, I remember that before the battle, someone left a warning. Do not act rashly without orders, so as not to steal the military merits..."

From the deep forest of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, a feminine laugh with a hint of teasing was heard.

Meng Kejian folded his hands into his sleeves, looking calm and composed. He placed his mind over the formation and watched this increasingly interesting fight with great interest, with no intention of joining the battle at all.

"The most popular young talent in Dachu."

"Xie Xuanyi's disciple."

"Top of the Tianjiao list."

Meng Kejian couldn't help but sigh, and then said with a smile: "How much military merit is Xie Zhen's head worth? This bargain is really too big, it's better for Meng not to get involved. Now that there is the Cage Immortal Formation to suppress it, and the string technique to bless it, Miss Nalan has everything going for her, this battle... shouldn't be a suspense, right?"

"..."

Nalan Qiutong looked gloomy and was speechless for a moment.

This battle seemed to be without suspense, and I still had the upper hand.

But in fact, the situation had gradually gotten out of her control.

Nalan Qiutong has discovered that the cavalry controlled by his string technique are simply pawns for Xie Zhen to punch.

Every punch this guy threw seemed to hurt his own blood, but as long as the ray of white light between his eyebrows surged, the loss of blood would be immediately replenished... Nalan Qiutong had never heard of such a situation. After fighting for nearly a hundred breaths and charging for dozens of rounds, Xie Zhen's boxing skills were still rough, but a mysterious artistic conception had been born in the dark, lingering around the sea of ​​fire!

If the fight continues, I'm afraid Xie Zhen will be promoted to the higher realm!
"Miss Nalan, a friendly reminder."

At this moment, Meng Kejian's smiling voice came again: "This great Chu Xie Zhen has comprehended more than one principle. In addition to the 'principle of destruction' passed down by his master, he also comprehended the 'principle of life'..."

Nalan Qiutong's expression became even gloomier.

The way of life?

No wonder Xie Zhen dared to enter the battle in his physical body, and no wonder each of his punches was so brutal.

It turns out there is such a trump card!
"Mr. Meng, you knew Xie Zhen had comprehended the 'Principle of Life', why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Nalan Qiutong gritted his teeth and said, "You're just going to watch me use the Cage Immortal Formation and the String Technique to punch him?!"

"Nalan Qiutong, as the planner of the battle at Mount Qixia, you made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. How can you blame others?"

Meng Kejian sneered, full of disdain and contempt.

There was a brief pause.

“Let’s take a step back…even if Xie Zhenzhen gets promoted, so what?”

Meng Kejian said expressionlessly: "He may be able to beat you to death, but unfortunately, a mere newly promoted Yin God will not be able to escape from my grasp anyway."
