Embers of Sword

Chapter 366: Life or Death

In the air, golden blood was spilled!

Xie Xuanyi twisted his waist and moved sideways to avoid the horizontal cut of the knife, but his golden body was actually cut in half -

"Well."

With a muffled groan, Xie Xuanyi violently retreated back into the darkness of the forest.

This kid is so fast?

Meng Kejian sheathed his sword and stood in the cavalry formation with a gloomy expression. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. In just one encounter, more than 20 Yuanzhou cavalrymen who he had mobilized on the spot were all killed, leaving only 11 cavalrymen from the Yu Camp who were his personal guards.

Xie Zhen's swordsmanship was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Is this really the realm of swordsmanship that a young man in the Cave Heaven Realm can comprehend?
He drew his sword and killed people without any delay.

Indeed, he has entered the Yin Shen realm.

But killing people and saving people are two completely unrelated things...

When it comes to killing people, Meng Kejian is very good at it.

When it comes to saving people, he really has no experience.

If Xie Zhen stabbed him directly with his flying sword, then this battle would be no problem at all. In a one-on-one fight, no matter how powerful Meng Kejian was in the Cave Heaven Realm, he would not be at a disadvantage.

But this kid was obviously determined to fight a protracted war with me.

He wanted to exchange his injury for his life and kill all the cavalrymen in the Yu Camp!

This idea sounds ridiculous, but what is even more ridiculous is that... Meng Kejian has no good way to deal with it!
He wanted to kill Xie Xuanyi, but Xie Xuanyi resisted!
Xie Xuanyi killed people and he couldn't stop him!

"Xie Zhen, I know you have comprehended the 'Principle of Life'..."

Meng Kejian narrowed his eyes, slowly looked around, and tried to coax him with sweet words: "But my 'Que Wu Dao' is tempered with the Bone-Dissolving Powder. The general cherishes your talent and did not issue a killing order against you. He only ordered me to lead the cavalry to bring you back to the barracks. If you are willing to show up, I can give you the antidote!"

"..."

There was dead silence in the forest, and there was no response.

Of course Xie Xuanyi would not believe what Meng Kejian said. This guy stood by and watched at the Cliff of Broken Hearts, not because he was kind-hearted... He silently lowered his head and checked the wound on his back. The knife had gone very deep, and Meng Kejian must have intended to kill him.

If I show up now, I'm afraid the only outcome will be death.

The Dao in Xie Xuanyi's brows flickered.

He activated the Dao Principle to cover the wound.

The bone-dissolving powder of Que Wu Dao was corroding the flesh and blood, and the Way of Life covered it, causing a violent reaction.

"Chucky!"

The pain pierced his bones, but Xie Xuanyi endured it without saying a word.

In Dantian, the Immortal Spring began to flow, evaporating streams of water vapor, but it could not alleviate the pain much.

This poisoned sword from the Yin Shen realm is really powerful!
The sharp pain pierced into my heart.

Xie Xuanyi became calmer and more focused...

After the previous fight, Xie Xuanyi understood Meng Kejian's abilities, and the plan in his mind became clearer. After a few breaths, Xie Xuanyi quickly moved and found an excellent position. He no longer hesitated and stabbed out the second sword!
"Buzz!"

The Yu Camp, which was on high alert, fell into chaos again.

I saw a flying sword appear in the air again without any warning!
It was still a piece of green bamboo that had been casually broken and sharpened.

"Boom!"

This time, Meng Kejian locked onto the direction of the sword energy in an instant, but he was no longer in a hurry to move. Instead, he stood sideways in front of the nearest guard and blocked the sword alone. He flicked his sleeves heavily and shattered the green bamboo with his strong energy.

Meng Kejian sneered, "Don't want to come out? It seems like you're not going to accept my toast and you'll have to drink the wine for punishment!"

The voice just fell.

The sound of the third flying sword breaking through the air immediately rang out!

This time, it’s not as simple as one sword!
"Whoosh whoosh!"

Xie Xuanyi began to run. He kept shuttling through the deep forest at an incredibly fast speed. Every time he passed a place, he would break dead branches and kick them to make them explode. Then, from all directions, simple flying swords containing the "Principle of Destruction" were sprinkled at the Yuziying cavalry like ink... Meng Kejian looked extremely ugly. Although Xie Zhen was fast, he could not escape the coverage of his Yinshen realm's divine consciousness. If he wanted to, he could catch up with him in an instant and kill him suddenly.

However, the previous "lesson" was somewhat tragic, which made Meng Kejian hesitate for a moment.

Last time, they were tricked by Xie Zhen. In just a moment, all the Yuanzhou cavalry were killed.

What's left at this moment.

They are all personal guards that I have cultivated for many years!
Is it to save people or to kill people?
In a flash, Meng Kejian made a choice. He also started running, his figure flying around, forming a circle around the iron cavalry. He raised his hands, as fast as a butterfly flying through flowers. Only shadows could be seen passing by. These green bamboo flying swords came quickly and left even faster. Meng Kejian waved his sleeves and shattered all of the dozens of flying swords.

"Bang bang bang!"

Meng Kejian shattered all the flying swords by himself.

But doing so would lead to a meaningless struggle.

The tense string in Xie Xuanyi's heart relaxed a little. This was the best possible situation he had expected, nothing else.

He chose to attack actively just to buy enough time for the teleportation array talisman in Xiaohuangshan!

If Meng Kejian is willing to accompany him for the sake of these guards.

Then this battle can be fought peacefully!

Once the formation talisman is completed, Xie Xuanyi will leave immediately!
All of a sudden.

Tieqi, Meng Kejian, and Xie Xuanyi formed a line.

The rain of ink arrows was all blocked.

Xie Xuanyi ran tirelessly.

Meng Kejian was "running around", constantly dodging and cleaning up the mess.

"…This boy is so cunning!"

After a moment, Meng Kejian lost his patience.

Over the years, he had always been the one setting up murder schemes, and this was the first time he was trapped in the scheme!
Previously, he was watching the show at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. The more Nalan Qiutong suffered a setback, the happier he was. Now that he was facing Xie Zhen in person, he finally understood what a troublesome guy this guy was!
How could I, a mere Yin spirit, be restrained by this kid's "Iron Cavalry"?
Xie Zhen made such a move, and he didn't take the bone-dissolving powder of "Que Wu Dao" seriously at all.

The principles of life, could it be possible to resist even the poison of the Yin God?
This scene was truly beyond Meng Kejian's expectations!

If a heartless and cold-blooded person were here, all these cavalrymen would have died, and there would be nothing to worry about!
But Meng Kejian really didn't want to treat these personal guards as abandoned pawns!
"rush!"

Flying swords like rain.

The cavalry of the Yu Camp felt the frustration of this battle.

Meng Kejian, a dignified Yin God, was unable to escape from the formation...

Obviously, they have become a burden!

The cavalry looked at each other, and suddenly one of the brave cavalrymen shouted, ignored the formation, stepped forward, and rushed into the mountains and forests.

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned, and without hesitation, he swung out his sword and cut off the cavalry's head...

This scene completely stimulated the bloodiness of the entire Yu Camp, and a "vigorous" charge broke out!

The balance that was maintained with great difficulty was broken at this moment!

These iron cavalrymen rushed into the deep forest, offering talismans and treasures, and the sky was filled with splashing lights.

Without Meng Kejian taking the lead.

The flying sword cuts the head like chopping melons and vegetables——

Xie Xuanyi retreated while drawing his sword, chopping off heads and killing the cavalry with extreme calmness.

But his heart slowly sank.

The situation he least expected to see was what was happening now...

In today's battle, he just wanted to delay time. On the surface, Xie Xuanyi wanted to kill all the cavalry present, but in fact, he only wanted to delay one person.

If all the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry were killed and the Yu Camp was wiped out, the next opponent would be the one left, and he would have lost his weak spot and would be completely helpless...

"..."

Meng Kejian stood in the center of the battlefield with a cold expression.

He was unwilling to make a choice, but at the moment when the remaining cavalry of the Yu Camp charged, someone made the choice for him.

The thin man lowered his hands silently, a cold current flowed out from his cuffs, he stared at the black figure in the deep forest, a dark Dharma image slowly appeared... After the sixth level of Yin Shen, the cultivator can try to condense his own "Dharma image".

This is a symbol of the initial formation of the Great Way.

It is also the "Yin Shen magical power" that can be displayed only when the cave heaven is settled!
Those venerables who took the elixir to complete their promotion will never be able to condense their own Dharma image in their lifetime...

The Dharma image behind Meng Kejian was swaying and seemed unstable. It was obvious that he had just mastered this magical power not long ago... The reason why he didn't use this "Dharma image" at the beginning was because this Yin Shen magic required a lot of energy, and for those who just mastered it, the Dharma image would not last too long.

Meng Kejian watched a battle of the Cage Immortal Formation at Mount Qixia and had a general idea of what was going on.

Even if you don’t use the “Dharma-image”.

He can still have the upper hand in a one-on-one duel with Xie Zhen.

But things are different now.

All of Yuanzhou's cavalry were wiped out, and almost no one from the Yu Camp's personal guards survived!

The nature of this battle has changed!

When the general left, he said, "If you see Xie Zhen, don't hold back..."

At the beginning, Meng Kejian still had the idea of "capturing this man alive".

this moment.

He gave up the idea, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes!
"Rumble, rumble..."

After a few breaths, the Dharma image was completely solidified. It was a majestic and ferocious snake spirit. Although it had a human face, it stood upright on a snake body, holding a pitch-black and ethereal "Que Wu Knife" in its hand, which was a full ten feet long!
After the Dharma Image was summoned, the area within dozens of feet was shrouded in icy coldness!

"Shh!"

Meng Kejian, in his Dharma body, took a step forward.

Take this step.

The cold current spread and he crashed directly into the deep forest.

Xie Xuanyi's heart trembled. He looked up suddenly and saw the trees in front of him shattered. Without any warning, a burly figure appeared. Meng Kejian, who was shrouded by the "Snake Spirit" Dharma, seemed to have lost his mind. His eyes flashed with scarlet light, and he chopped down with a knife -

"Danger!"

Xie Xuanyi's scalp felt numb.

He barely dodged the blow by leaning sideways, and the huge blade energy of the Que Wu sword exploded, causing turbulent flow next to his clothes!
This knife cuts down!

A small hill behind Xie Xuanyi exploded directly!

The air waves rolled, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the guards of the Yu Camp who were charging desperately were even injured by the sword energy... It was obvious that Meng Kejian was unable to master this magical power. Although the "Snake Spirit" was ferocious, many guards were innocently affected by its just one sword!

"kill!"

Meng Kejian's eyes were completely bloodshot.

His heart was filled with murderous intent, and his Dharma image further changed. The huge snake spirit raised the Que Wu sword, aimed it at the black-robed young man not far away, and slashed out a second ray of sword light!
This second knife...

The force of the sword is several times more powerful than the first one!
It is hard to imagine that this is the sword energy that can be stimulated by the middle state of Yin Shen. After condensing into shape, it is nearly dozens of feet wide and there is no way to avoid it or hide in it!
Xie Xuanyi can only fight hard!
"……kill!"

The sense of crisis in my heart reached its peak.

Xie Xuanyi knew that he had no way of retreat. He held the umbrella sword in both hands, and the Law of Destruction madly entwined and clung to the wild grass in the spring breeze. In addition, Xie Xuanyi also poured all of the "Law of Life" into the scabbard. During the duel in the Golden Body Tower, Xie Xuanyi relied on the "power of two laws" to break the monk Miaozhen's flawless golden body.

Miaozhen and Junshan both have "cave heaven bodies" and the strength to fight against the Yin God.

Xie Xuanyi knew it very well.

Now I also have this ability.

The sword that combines the two paths into one... is a move that can break through the barrier of "Dongtian" and confront the Yinshen realm!
"His!"

An extremely harsh cracking sound was heard.

The sword that Meng Kejian swung out with the snake spirit form was extremely terrifying, and the void in front of Xie Xuanyi seemed to be crushed by the sword's energy!
The blade's light continued to expand, like a gear, constantly rolling and approaching...

When the sword light completely submerged him.

The spring breeze and wild grass entangled in the law of birth and death trembled extremely!

Xie Xuanyi gritted his teeth and drew his sword. The sword energy entwined with snow-white and pitch-black colors was suppressed to the extreme. At this moment, it roared out like a long dragon and crashed into the gray sword energy. The sword energy and sword energy burst out and spread at this moment. An extremely terrifying pressure shattered and exploded, the void was constantly shredded, and the two forces continued to overlap.

finally.

In the Yin Shen realm, the dark sword energy enhanced by the Dharma aspect is even better!
The snake spirit sword energy crushed the black and white sword energy.

The place where Xie Xuanyi was was completely submerged by the sword energy.

……

……

On the Small Barren Mountain, formation talismans were flying.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet.

Deng Baiyi was immersed in drawing the talisman. She knew how precious time was now, so she ignored the fighting, struggling, and the sounds of sword energy below the mountain.

the other side.

Miyun continued crying, and after that, his emotions gradually calmed down. He stared at the talisman paper in his palm.

This is a matter of life and death...

Miss Deng was still setting up the talisman formation, while her benefactor was going down the mountain to fight physically.

I am the only one still wasting time here.

There's no point in crying.

Only by allowing the teleportation array to be opened successfully.

The efforts of Miss Deng and her benefactor will not be in vain.

Now... life and death are all in your own hands.

"calm."

"I have to calm down."

Miyun kept talking to himself, trying to calm himself down.

"I can definitely carve a talisman..."

"I must carve out the talisman..."

Maybe the mumbling over and over again really had an effect.

The pain in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his entire attention was focused on the crumpled talisman paper.

"time is limited……"

"faster……"

"I need to be faster..."

"Faster!"

Miyun took a deep breath and tried to concentrate the power of the Dao between his eyebrows on his trembling fingertips.

hum!
The "Law of Cause and Effect" that had refused to move obeyed his command for the first time, and emitted an extremely slight ray of golden light, which landed on his fingertips, like the tip of a pen, touching the gold-painted talisman paper, making a rustling sound.
