Embers of Sword

Chapter 359: Qixia Situation
The flying sword containing the "Principle of Destruction" is coming in an instant!

A hint of danger emerged in Xie Xuanyi's heart. He turned around quickly and attacked with the sword energy in his palm.

"珰!"

Two strands of the way of destruction attack each other!

The blood-filled little sword that Nalan Qiutong had sacrificed was smashed to pieces, but Xie Xuanyi was not at ease. He groaned, a sweetness surged in his throat, and he forced himself to swallow a mouthful of blood, then used the force to escape into the distance.

"He still escaped..."

Nalan Qiutong sat dejectedly on the ground, staring unwillingly at the black-shirted figure going away.

Blood slowly flowed from the corner of her lips.

When their principles collided just now, Xie Zhen suffered the recoil damage, and so did she.

The turmoil in the sea of fire has not subsided.

The cavalry charged.

The Immortal Cage Formation was broken, and the monks from the Fanyin Temple delegation fled in all directions.

The Cang Camp began to clean up this unexpected mess. In addition, the Yu Camp's cavalry also rushed in from the direction of the Broken Heart Cliff and joined the battlefield.

A thin figure riding on a black horse slowly stepped into the sea of fire and came to Nalan Qiutong's side.

"Is this the proud disciple of the Imperial Master?"

Meng Kejian chuckled and said, "It's really unexpected that even a desperate situation like the one at Qixia Mountain could be broken and a ray of hope could be found."

"You are half responsible for the destruction of the Immortal Cage Formation."

Nalan Qiutong wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and slowly stood up.

She said expressionlessly, "You watched Master Junshan use his sword to break the formation without any reaction... You let them go on purpose."

"Miss Nalan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

Meng Kejian said quietly, "My cavalry is on standby at Broken Heart Cliff. The overall situation is in your hands. I dare not show up easily and steal your limelight."

"I know you have something against me, and you're eager to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury..."

Nalan Qiutong took a deep breath and said, "But now it's urgent. The reincarnated Buddha has been taken away by Junshan, and Xie Zhen has also escaped. If you don't chase him now, do you really think that if you delay this matter and the higher-ups blame you, you won't be held accountable as well?"

"No rush, no rush."

Meng Kejian remained calm and composed.

"Yuzi Camp - pass on my military order to seal off this mountain!"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the raging sea of fire in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Monks from the Fanyin Temple delegation, kill one if you see one! Don't leave any alive. I don't want any Buddhist disciple to escape from this Qixia Mountain alive!"

……

……

"Where's Xie Zhen?"

"Xie Zhen!"

The Zixiao flying sword darted through the air and passed over the Qixia Mountain like a meteor.

Deng Baiyi, who was held in the palm of Junshan Zhenren's hand, could not help but speak. She kept looking back and looking at the rear. The smoke from the sea of fire gradually died down, the battlefield where the cavalry were charging was getting farther and farther away, and the shouts of fighting were getting quieter and quieter... In today's tragic battle, no one knew how many members of the Fanyin Temple delegation would be able to escape, but there was only one person she cared about the most.

Thank you, Zhen.

Xie Zhen said that he would come immediately after the formation was broken!
"Girl, it's already this hour, how can we still care about others..."

Master Junshan gritted his teeth, he didn't dare to slow down even a little bit.

Meng Kejian was watching the battle at the Cliff of Broken Hearts!

At this moment, there is silence behind me, which is a good thing...

What I’m afraid of is that when I turn around again, I will see Meng Kejian!

Deng Baiyi clutched her sleeves tightly.

next moment.

A familiar sword sound was heard in the distance.

He was dressed in black and riding a flying sword, rushing towards him at high speed.

"call……"

Seeing this figure, Deng Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She knew that Xie Zhen would keep his word and would definitely be able to catch up with him!

"Mr. Xie, are you okay?"

Master Junshan slowed down a little to allow Xie Zhen to catch up.

His divine consciousness fell on Xie Zhen.

Go around in a circle.

This kid is really strong. He resisted the charge of the cavalry in the Cage Immortal Formation and held on for so long without any external injuries?

Are the laws of life really so overbearing?

"No problem."

Xie Xuanyi wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his palm. It was impossible to say that he had no injuries at all. In fact, every time he faced the string technique, his internal organs would be shaken. However, the combination of "Immortal Fountain" and "Law of Life" exerted a huge healing effect. Minor injuries healed almost instantly, which made him invincible.

The "human wave tactics" that made all practitioners shudder had almost no effect on him.

The most serious injury he suffered in this battle was the final sword attack with Nalan Qiutong.

The way of destruction is against the way of destruction.

Nalan Qiutong's level of comprehension of the Tao is not high.

But the Dao of Destruction is, after all, the most powerful Dao of killing power...

Xie Xuanyi's heart was still trembling at this moment, and it took a long time to calm down.

If I'm not mistaken, the "Way of Destruction" that Nalan Qiutong comprehended is somewhat similar to that of Venerable Lian, and it belongs to the great way of killing souls!
"The entire Qixia Mountain should have been blocked by Nalan Xuance."

Junshan Zhenren took a deep breath, and his spiritual consciousness expanded, covering the entire Qixia Mountain, trying to find a way to survive.

But the weird thing is.

This entire mountain range is full of fog!
Along the way.

He and Miao Zhen both used their spiritual thoughts to explore the way... This was originally an extremely safe way of traveling, but after encountering the accident at Baopingkou, Junshan Zhenren now did not dare to make a decision easily. His spiritual thoughts could not see through the "formation" set up by Nalan Xuance. If he took a wrong step and fell into the killing situation again, the situation would be bad.

"What should we do now? Which direction should we escape?"

Junshan Zhenren subconsciously looked at Xie Zhen. Logically speaking.

He is older than Xie Zhen and has practiced for longer than Xie Zhen. When faced with such a murderous situation, he should be the one to make the decision.

But now...

Junshan was unsure.

"Go south!"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and chose a direction without hesitation.

This was the direction the delegation came from.

The most urgent task is to get rid of Meng Kejian's pursuit.

When the Cage Immortal Formation was broken and Xie Xuanyi was escaping, he caught a glimpse of the Yu Camp cavalry rushing towards him from the direction of the Broken Heart Cliff... It was obvious that Meng Kejian had also joined the battle, and this Yin God would soon catch up with him and his group. There was no time to think now and he could only rely on his intuition.

His spiritual thoughts, like Junshan, were hanging in all directions of Qixia Mountain.

The fog was thick.

Xie Xuanyi couldn't see through the fog.

But he could feel that today's killing game was not over.

After sunset at Qixia Mountain, it seemed that all exits were filled with murderous intent.

"Okay, go south!"

Junshan Zhenren no longer hesitated. He threw Deng Baiyi from his arms into Xie Xuanyi's arms to share the weight.

The two of them rode their swords at the fastest speed, lowering their altitude at the same time, and quickly crashed into the deep forest, rushing back in the direction they came from.

……

……

"Master Meng, Xie Zhen escaped, but you don't seem to be in a hurry?"

After sunset at Qixia Mountain, night falls.

A ball of light and fire was suspended three feet above the ground, illuminating the darkness all around and revealing a bright three-foot circular area.

Under the light and fire.

Meng Kejian, wearing light black iron armor and a dark blue robe on his shoulders, sat leisurely on the horse's back, holding the reins with one hand and moving "slowly".

It's called "slow".

But it's just the pace that's slow, not the walking speed.

The black-maned horse under Meng Kejian seemed to be pushed by the wind with every step it took. It was extremely light and any step could carry it several feet away.

The breeze blows on my face and the leaves rustle in the forest.

What’s strange is that next to Meng Kejian, there was another rider also walking “slowly”.

King Jiangning Xie Zhisui, sitting on horseback, also looked calm.

Beside him, Venerable Bai Yu, dressed in a white robe, personally led the horse and exerted the power of the Tao to maintain a speed that was barely on par with Meng Kejian.

"No, why should we be so anxious about this? Lord Xie is catching mosquitoes and flies in the mansion. Would he be anxious because he lost contact for a while?"

Meng Kejian spoke calmly, and deliberately stopped in the middle of his speech: "There is an old saying in Li State that the emperor is not anxious... In short, the one who should be anxious now is Xie Zhen, not you and me."

Xie Zhisui frowned slightly.

If the person who spoke was the outspoken and illiterate Du Yunzhong, it would be fine.

He won't bother with it.

But Meng Kejian and Du Yunzhong are different.

This guy is very clear about the meaning of every word he says.

"presumptuous!"

Venerable Bai Yu couldn't help but speak, but because Meng Kejian concealed the second half of the sentence, he couldn't get angry either, so he could only warn coldly: "Meng Kejian, you should know that Xie Zhen is backed by the Dasui Sword Palace. If he escapes today, it will be no small matter... You and Nalan Qiutong have a grudge, and you should settle it later. How can you miss the big thing? The caged immortal formation was broken just now, and you shouldn't just sit back and watch the show!"

"what are you?"

Meng Kejian sat on the horse, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Venerable Bai Yu indifferently: "A slave who leads the horse is qualified to teach me a lesson? Just shut up, I'm talking to your master!"

"???"

Venerable Bai Yu widened his eyes and was about to explode.

King Jiangning patted his shoulder gently.

This place... is the country of Li.

Meng Kejian is Chen Chong's man. He is insidious, vicious, and capricious. It is best not to make an enemy of him.

Thinking of this, he could only take a deep breath and choose to endure.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please forgive my rudeness..."

Meng Kejian said leisurely, "You are Nalan Xuance's guest. The general has ordered that you should be treated with courtesy. Unfortunately, the Yu Camp and the Cang Camp are all people who have fought on the battlefield and have never had any etiquette. You came to Qixia Mountain to watch the battle today. I can only give you one word of advice."

"……Um?"

Xie Zhisui suppressed his anger and listened quietly.

"Xie Zhen is not only your enemy, but also the enemy of Dali."

Meng Kejian smiled and said, "In this battle at Qixia Mountain, I have only one mission... and that is to kill Xie Zhen."

"If that's the case, why didn't Lord Meng just take action earlier? Why did he have to go to this point and cause trouble?"

Xie Zhisui sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

Meng Kejian didn't need to answer, he already knew the reason.

As a disciple of Nalan Xuance, Nalan Qiutong behaved in a rude and overbearing manner, and his string skills were too overbearing, which aroused Meng Kejian's dissatisfaction...

The battle just now.

Meng Kejian deliberately let Xie Zhen go to teach Nalan Qiutong a lesson.

"Don't worry, he can't escape from Qixia Mountain."

Meng Kejian gently stretched out a palm and turned it over: "No matter where he escapes, he will not be able to escape the palm of the general in the end."
