Embers of Sword

Chapter 390 Cicada (I)

The sword returned to its sheath and the thunder pool was destroyed.

Du Yunzhong stared blankly at the huge python head that fell to the ground with a bang, his mind went blank.

Meng Kejian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ceiling suppressing the thunder pool, looked dazed. He stretched out his hand, touched his neck, and felt a hand full of blood...

Then the whole world began to spin.

The python's head fell to the ground.

Heads fell to the ground like a drop.

The barren mountain range that had been shrouded in green thunder for half an hour finally returned to calm. The dark clouds on the sky were split apart by a sword, and the flowing clouds in the sky were scattered in all directions. The thunder realm on this side was completely shattered. Xie Xuanyi calmly watched the head falling at his feet. The battle with Meng Kejian in Qixia Mountain was one of the rare "hard battles" since he was reborn in his second life.

Without Meng Kejian, it would probably take some time for me to break through the Yin Shen realm.

If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you lose a bet, you must accept the consequences.

If I had made a wrong move in the battle at Qixia Mountain not long ago, I would be the one with my head falling to the ground.

Now it’s Meng Kejian’s turn…

That's fair enough.

The golden figure condensed by the martial arts divine fetus gradually dissipated.

Xie Xuanyi looked at Du Yunzhong not far away.

The latter, who was in shock, was stared at and came to his senses in an instant. Du Yunzhong's armor was soaked with cold sweat at this moment. He had never thought that this vigorous encirclement and suppression would end in such a tragic ending... In his opinion, with the general's backup, even if he and Meng Kejian were defeated, at least they could escape.

Who could have thought that despite having the blessing of two levels of thunder realm, Meng Kejian had his head chopped off in an instant!

The general didn't move.

Why didn't the general make any move?!

Du Yunzhong looked in the direction he came from. Suddenly, a huge golden barrier rose up from the dark sky. In the distance, a deafening sound of loud bells rang out. Ten miles away, he saw a majestic and majestic Buddhist kingdom... Du Yunzhong's heart was completely cold. He vaguely guessed the reason why Chen Chong did not show up here.

There are not many people in this world who can stop the general.

It seems that there is only one person who can display such a "Buddha Kingdom" vision.

As the right-hand man.

Du Yunzhong knew that the general's ultimate goal in destroying Buddhism in Yuanzhou was to meet the "Zen Master".

and so……

The Zen Master showed up.

This also means that the biggest backer on this battlefield will not appear.

Meng Kejian is dead, and the next person to face Xie Zhen is...

Am I the only one left?
"escape!"

Du Yunzhong felt an unprecedented fear from the man in black.

He made a decision that was the most correct at the moment, but also one that he would regret for the rest of his life.

This brave and fearless general, after witnessing the sudden death of his best friend and seeing the situation on the field clearly, turned around with a pale expression, transformed into a long rainbow at an extremely fast speed, and rose from the ground.

"..."

This choice was beyond Xie Xuanyi's expectations.

He had read Du Yunzhong's case file. This guy fought bravely for Chen Chong and risked his life. He was definitely not a coward. Xie Xuanyi thought that after killing Meng Kejian, Du Yunzhong would attack in a rage, but he didn't expect that this guy calmly chose to flee. This was indeed the most "wise" choice.

The thunder realm dissipated, and there was no blessing from the Tao.

Du Yunzhong had no chance of winning. If he continued to seek war, he would only be buried with Meng Kejian.

Looking at the figure rising into the sky.

Xie Xuanyi did not chase after him.

For him, killing Du Yunzhong was meaningless as there were more important things to do right now.

Xie Xuanyi let out a breath of foul air.

He turned around and looked towards Taoyuan.

The stars are dim tonight.

A Buddhist kingdom appears at the top of the sky, and golden light shines on the world.

……

……

The once peaceful Taoyuan village has now been completely destroyed.

Before the cavalry could reach them.

The battle between the two top monks destroyed all the houses and trees within a radius of several miles... Fortunately, the refugees in this small village had been frightened by the previous turmoil and fled in advance, so what was destroyed were only dead objects.

The golden Buddhist kingdom covers an area of several miles.

The sound of the bells kept ringing. The ground sank.

The surrounding hills were almost leveled.

Layer upon layer of golden light enveloped it, forming a barrier.

This golden Buddhist kingdom is like a heaven. It looks magnificent, but it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to even take a step inside. The golden barriers are not for decoration. The rolling energy vibrates, and even well-trained elite cavalry will have to spend a lot of effort to rush in.

As for the central area of this battle, it was completely covered by the "Buddha Kingdom" domain...

Deng Baiyi asked Chu Guo to hold Miyun and wait at the outermost edge of the Buddha's Kingdom. She herself sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by talismans, trying to replicate the "transmission talisman formation" used to escape from Qixia Mountain. Time was urgent, and while she was drawing the talisman, she was always watching the golden handprint that was sinking into the ground.

There were wisps of drizzle falling between heaven and earth. The previous rain of vitality seemed to have come to an end. The raindrops falling on the body no longer felt warm, but a little cold.

Deng Baiyi knew that the situation was now serious.

In addition to Chen Chong, there are two other Yinshen Venerables here, and there are probably a large number of Yuanzhou cavalry on standby outside.

If I randomly choose a direction to escape, it will only backfire and bring unnecessary trouble to Xie Zhen.

Therefore, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The best way Deng Baiyi could think of to leave was to open another "teleportation portal". She knew that Chen Chong could cross the void with his physical body, and even if he cast a teleportation talisman array, he might not be able to escape from the hands of a person of this level... But at this moment, she had to take a gamble.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

However, things went better than she expected.

When the talisman array was halfway carved, a familiar voice sounded.

Then there was a bang.

There was a very gentle sound of an umbrella opening.

Deng Baiyi raised her head and saw the wide, dark umbrella brim and the black shirt fluttering in the wind.

Xie Xuanyi held up the spring breeze and stood beside Deng Baiyi. The latter was a little dazed. She felt that this scene was familiar, as if she had held an umbrella like this before in Hongshan?
But now it's reversed.

"No."

Deng Baiyi shook her head and asked nervously, "Did you win?"

"Win and kill."

Xie Xuanyi nodded and spoke lightly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

He looked at Chu Guo who was holding Miyun not far away.

The young man looked a little pale, obviously what happened today was beyond his understanding.

"come here."

Xie Xuanyi spoke to Chu Guo.

"..."

Chu Guo hesitated a little, but still walked over slowly.

Xie Xuanyi motioned to Chu Guo to stretch out his hand and take the umbrella.

The young man did as he was told.

After getting it, it feels a bit heavy.

“Is this umbrella so heavy?”

Chu Guo was stunned, sensing a different mystery. The umbrella looked light, but was actually very heavy in the hand, and the ribs seemed to be able to spin out. It was obvious that someone had put in a lot of effort and carefully arranged the mechanism.

"This is a sword."

Xie Xuanyi said slowly: "But now... this is just an umbrella. The world is starting to get colder. Hold the umbrella tightly and don't let the rain get to you."

After handing over the umbrella sword.

Xie Xuanyi walked forward.

He was ready to step into this vast and magnificent Buddhist realm.

"and many more--"

Chu Guo's voice called him.

The young man's voice was hoarse as he anxiously reminded, "You want to go in? That's Chen Chong in there!"

"I know."

Xie Xuanyi paused for a moment, but did not look back.

He stretched out his palm and pressed it on the dazzling golden barrier of Buddha light, and spoke in a calm voice.

"The person I want to see is Chen Chong."
