Embers of Sword

Chapter 365 Battle!

Miyun didn't understand. He had never even drawn a formation talisman before. How could his benefactor let him do such a big thing?
"Xie Zhen...are you serious?"

On the other hand, Deng Baiyi also couldn't understand this decision.

She lowered her voice and asked through telepathy.

"Do you remember the scene you saw at Baopingkou earlier?"

Xie Xuanyi said calmly.

"Remember...remember."

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the intention of Xie Zhen's arrangement. When the delegation reached Baopingkou, Miyun was the first to detect the "enemy situation" without the three masters realizing it. The law of cause and effect broke through Nalan Xuance's fog and directly revealed the ambushed Cangzi Camp!

And this behavior was not intentional on Miyun's part.

In other words.

Although Miyun cannot control the law of cause and effect, from the moment he merged with Tanluan's Buddha bones... he has become the master of the "law of cause and effect".

The law of cause and effect flows in his blood.

The sword energy will protect the master.

This strand of Tao will naturally come true.

Since the ambush at Baopingkou can be revealed by the "law of cause and effect".

Then the end of the talisman array leading to the "safe place" should also be able to be carved using the law of cause and effect...

This idea is really crazy.

But vaguely, Deng Baiyi saw a glimmer of hope!
"The number of ambushes that Nalan Xuance has laid near Mount Qixia is innumerable."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "It is precisely because of his 'absolute confidence' that Chen Chong was so arrogant to give me an hour to escape. Anyone who wants to escape by riding a sword will inevitably fail in the end. At this point, we only have one way, 'carving the formation'."

"Half an incense stick?"

Deng Baiyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She didn’t dare to delay and quickly set up the formation pattern in the small barren mountain.

Xie Xuanyi was not idle either.

What he had to do was to delay the time for Chen Chong's cavalry to find him as much as possible.

One after another, "Energy-hiding Talismans" flew out with the wind.

A barrier was formed above this small barren mountain.

The night was dark.

The top of the mountain was plunged into complete darkness.

"Chichichi..."

Deng Baiyi grabbed a handful of blank talisman paper and began to draw array talismans, preparing for this crazy makeshift array. Her expression became extremely focused. The basic construction of the teleportation array required nearly a hundred array talismans to resonate, which was a considerable workload.

the other side.

Miyun was sitting on the ground, leaning against a big rock, with a bitter expression on his face.

He held a piece of talisman paper covered with gold paint, at a loss...

This piece of talisman paper symbolizes the end point of the "Teleportation Array Talisman".

This is the most important talisman paper.

Deng Baiyi didn't know how to fill it out, so he had to fill it out.

"Dead Hand, move quickly..."

Miyun gritted his teeth and tried to force himself to write something down, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

Now it is a matter of life and death.

But the Dao principle between his eyebrows did not move at all...

He could only watch Deng Baiyi and Xie Zhen setting up the formation on the top of the mountain.

Half an incense stick passed in a flash.

The mountains and forests not far away were shaking, and the sound of cavalry's footsteps could be heard!

Xie Xuanyi had a gloomy expression. As expected, an hour later, the nearest cavalry from Yuanzhou came running towards where he was... No matter how he concealed his aura or set up the formation, as long as he was in Nalan Xuance's "formation realm", he would have no way to escape and could only show up.

"...How are the formation talismans prepared?"

Xie Xuanyi drew out his umbrella sword and looked back.

"It will take another quarter of an hour."

Deng Baiyi put all his concentration into carving the talisman. Seventy percent of the teleportation talisman formation has been completed. A door made of talisman paper can be vaguely seen on the top of a small barren mountain. The talisman papers sway in the wind, making a rustling sound. Behind the talisman door is pitch black, and no one knows where it leads to.

It will take another quarter of an hour to complete the construction of the talisman gate.

And the worst part is...

The final talisman has not yet been formulated.

Xie Xuanyi continued to move his head and saw Miyun's depressed and gloomy expression.

This half incense stick.

Miyun tried to activate the law of cause and effect more than once, but each time ended in failure.

"……Not urgent."

Xie Xuanyi sent him a voice message: "Good news, the talisman formation will be completed in a quarter of an hour."

"The bad news is that the Iron Cavalry is already chasing us."

Miyun said in a hoarse voice: "My benefactor, I have heard the sound."

“That’s not bad news.”

Xie Xuanyi glanced down the mountain and said calmly: "The person coming is not Chen Chong... but Meng Kejian."

The cavalry was divided into two groups. One group was the Yuanzhou cavalry that patrolled the periphery.

The other group was the elite troops of the Yu Camp who came from the direction of Qixia Mountain.

From several miles away, Xie Xuanyi had already sensed the breath of "Meng Kejian". This was the only good news among all the bad news. If Chen Chong, who had achieved great success in the Yin Shen realm, came in person, then it would be impossible to piece together the last quarter of an hour needed to carve the talisman array.

The person who came was Meng Kejian.

This news is not good news for Miyun.

Perhaps the benefactor can fight the Yin God with his body in the cave, but this is a Yin God who has been famous for a long time. Everyone in the country knows him and everyone knows him...

"Blame me……"

Miyun's voice choked with sobs.

An ambush at Mount Qixia caused the complete collapse of the Fanyin Temple delegation, and all of his fellow Buddhist brothers died tragically... This blow was too great for him to accept.

It comes down to it.

Miyun is too young.

The little guy was reading scriptures in the Fanyin Temple. It was his first time entering the world and he encountered such a brutal war... If he thought about it carefully, the miserable situation of the delegation and the desperate situation his benefactor was in now were all caused by him.

As soon as this thought came out.

Miyun couldn't hold back her tears. She clutched the talisman paper, trembling all over, and hated herself for being useless.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head.

Of course he wouldn't blame Miyun.

But he didn't say any words of comfort, because he didn't have the time to take care of Miyun's feelings now.

The next quarter of an hour would probably feel like an eternity.

Xie Xuanyi took the initiative to leave Xiaohuangshan and came to the outside of the talisman formation.

He looked back and saw that the place where Deng Baiyi and Miyun were was covered by the talisman formation he had set up, and the aura had not yet leaked out. If he hid in the formation, perhaps he could have a few moments of peace.

But Meng Kejian is no ordinary man, the talisman formation will not last long...

He chose to take the initiative in exchange for Deng Baiyi's peace.

……

……

"Master Meng, the direction pointed by the string disk is the direction of this place!"

The cavalry shuttled through the mountains and fields.

Next to Meng Kejian, a captain was holding a silver compass. The compass needle swayed in the mist, pointing in the direction of the Small Desolate Mountain.

"you sure?"

Meng Kejian narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled. The general had given Xie Zhen an hour to escape.

How did Xie Zhen escape here?

The "Anyang County" where Mount Qixia is located has five levels of cavalry patrols inside and outside, but this place only reaches the second innermost level... Could it be that Xie Zhen has given up on escaping?

Or in other words, after drinking six bowls of Drunken Immortal Wine, Xie Zhen got drunk?

"This is a special 'string plate' used by hook and pliers masters. It rarely makes mistakes. Xie Zhen drank the 'heart-breaking powder'. Only an hour has passed. The string plate will definitely point to the wrong direction."

The captain on horseback spoke with a firm voice, but he let out a slight "eh" the next moment.

The needle on the string began to shake again.

Buzz!
The pointer began to spin rapidly.

This means that the target is moving at an extremely fast speed...

and many more.

This means the target is close!

"Stab!"

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in the forest, and a flying sword came out from the void and slashed down at the captain holding the string disk!

This sword was incredibly fast, beyond everyone's expectations!

Even Meng Kejian didn't react.

In just a moment, the captain's head was cut off, but the flying sword continued to move forward, piercing into the iron cavalry, slashing and chopping, splitting the bodies of several people!
In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the formation was in chaos!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

Meng Kejian, who was always gentle, was furious at this moment, with veins bulging on his forehead. He took the initiative to leave the horse and flew to chase the flying sword. He freed his hand in mid-air, grabbed the flying sword and crushed it to pieces... After doing this, Meng Kejian looked even uglier! This was not a flying sword at all, but a piece of green bamboo sharpened by sword energy!
It’s hard to imagine that something so sharp and powerful is not even a treasure!
The swordsmanship of the man who drew the sword... has reached a terrifying level.

The Yu Camp was reorganized very quickly.

After three breaths, the cavalry held their shields and rearranged their formation.

On the other hand, the reorganization speed of the Yuanzhou cavalry was much slower.

"Xie Zhen, this is really unexpected..."

Meng Kejian grasped the green bamboo, slowly exerted force, and crushed it into powder.

He laughed jokingly, "The general said you had nowhere to escape, and you actually offered yourself up here?"

There was no one in sight among the mountains and forests, but a cold voice rang out, echoing in all directions: "Since there is nowhere to escape, why not fight with all your might?"

"Like father, like son."

Meng Kejian still had a sarcastic smile on his face: "You, the disciple, are exactly the same as the master ten years ago...Are you going to imitate the Battle of Beihai and fight to the death?"

"You... think too much."

The indifferent voice in the forest sounded again.

"This is not the North Sea."

"You're not a white ghost either."

Xie Xuanyi stood on an ancient tree, looking down at the iron cavalrymen who were defending in formation not far away. He said expressionlessly, "Meng Kejian, do you believe that you could not survive a single sword attack during the Beihai siege ten years ago?"

This conversation is not as simple as it seems.

Meng Kejian's words seemed to be just sarcasm... but in fact, he spoke like this deliberately in order to confirm Xie Zhen's thoughts.

The moment he was assassinated, he released his divine sense, trying to lock onto the assassin's location.

Xie Xuanyi would naturally not let Meng Kejian succeed easily.

What he wanted to do... was to irritate Meng Kejian.

On the surface, there was only one "enemy" in this campaign, but in fact, he had to deal with the Yuziying cavalry and the Yuanzhou cavalry.

"...?"

really.

Meng Kejian's soul was no longer at peace.

He was looked down upon by a junior!

This is actually nothing. What’s more important is... his spiritual sense covered the entire dense forest, but he didn’t find the other party’s position!

What kind of secret treasure does Xie Zhen have on him?
"Buzz!"

Xie Xuanyi did not give the cavalry too much time to adjust. He found the right opportunity and stabbed out the second sword!

The flying sword broke through the air and pierced through the forehead of a Yuanzhou cavalryman... The already panicked cavalry formation was broken again!

And this time.

Meng Kejian made a choice that was completely opposite to his previous one.

He no longer took the initiative to block the sword energy.

Instead, he put all his energy into tracing the source of the sword energy.

The moment the sword energy burst out.

Meng Kejian, who was on high alert, keenly captured the direction of the sword energy. He rushed out immediately, and his whole body turned into a flash of lightning. In just a moment, he flashed in front of the black-clothed young man who stabbed out the flying sword. On the branch of an old tree, the black-clothed young man who was making seals with his hands was shrouded in a huge shadow.

"boom!"

Meng Kejian punched out, smashing the head of the black-clothed young man in front of him.

Followed by.

His pupils contracted and he quickly retracted his fist.

The black-clothed young man who was smashed to pieces exploded in a cloud of smoke in the air. When Meng Kejian retracted his fist, he retrieved a "substitute" array talisman. He looked back with a gloomy expression, and saw a man in a sharp black shirt holding an umbrella and sword appearing where the iron cavalry was. He was like a wolf among a flock of sheep, with his moves being wild and open, even more brutal than the sea of fire at Qixia Mountain!

Previously, he was trapped by the Cage Immortal Formation, so Xie Xuanyi put down his sword and fought hand-to-hand!

now.

He just started killing with sword energy!

The Way of Extinction bursts out in the air, like a full moon, like ripples—

"Stab!"

In just a moment, Xie Xuanyi killed through one side of the cavalry, and the way of destruction smashed the armor and pierced the heart, leaving no one alive! The Yuanzhou cavalry was broken before they had time to reorganize their formation. The Yu Camp reacted very quickly. All the guards who followed Meng Kejian to the battle were his personal guards. Some people drew their bows and arrows, but Xie Xuanyi was faster. He finally led Meng Kejian away. This moment of time could not be wasted. The spring breeze and wild grass flew out of the sheath, opened the big umbrella, spread out the crossbow arrows, turned it upside down, and splashed all the poisoned arrowheads back.

"Clap clap clap!"

A large number of cavalrymen from the Yu Camp also fell.

All this happened only in the blink of an eye.

After all, these people are just ordinary people. Even if they practice the body-building methods used in the military, they can at most compete with the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for those rare body-refining geniuses who have formed a golden body, they are barely qualified to survive a casual blow from Xie Xuanyi!
There is no caged immortal formation.

They can only become powder under the flying swords!

"kill!"

The quality of the Yuying cavalry was completely different from that of the Yuanzhou cavalry. Seeing that this wave of attacks had reduced the number of cavalry by half, no one retreated, and instead took the initiative to charge towards Xie Zhen!
A cavalry charge is not scary.

Without the constraints of a large formation, Xie Xuanyi could come and go as he pleased, and he could kill his way in and out seven times with ease!
only……

There is also a Meng Kejian here!

"!!!"

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and his eyes drooped.

It only took a moment for him to draw his sword and kill someone, and for his figure to land. After he landed, an extremely ominous omen emerged in his heart.

really.

With a glance, he saw that Meng Kejian, who had been led away by him, was no longer there.

At the same time, Xie Xuanyi felt a chill in his heart. The Yin God's attack speed was as fast as lightning. There was no sound when the sword was drawn out of the sheath, and it arrived almost at the same time as his "heart lake induction"!
A knife thrust out.

Xie Xuanyi's black shirt was burning.

"Boom!"
The primordial fire of the great orifice is boiling!

Xie Xuanyi's perfect golden body resisted for a moment, but was broken in an instant.

The knife broke Xie Xuanyi's golden body, pierced his skin, and slashed across the air.

A cloud of golden blood splashed in the air.
