Embers of Sword

Chapter 72: Killing Spree (rd update!)

"But... I can promise."

"Today, no one here can leave a complete body."

Xie Xuanyi's voice echoed in the stone wall.

The burning talismans hung high in the air to form a canopy. The monks from Southern Xinjiang took out their life objects one after another. They saw dark energy seeping out from their acupoints and turning into black smoke that rushed straight to the sky!
In just a few breaths, the area covered by the talisman became filled with smoke and foul air.

Xie Xuanyi's expression did not change.

He turned his wrist slightly, and his whole body made a crackling sound like frying beans.

"Crack, click, click..."

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the broken stone wall beside him.

The thin ghost who had been embedded in the stone wall for a long time without moving, stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed Xie Xuanyi's ankle.

"Thank you, Zhen!"

The thin ghost grinned and said, "They said you are a disciple of a big shot in the imperial city? Is that true?"

"What's true or false?"

Xie Xuanyi sneered: "They say I'm your father, do you believe it?"

Just one sentence made the smile disappear from the skinny ghost's face.

The thin ghost howled angrily and pounced towards Xie Xuanyi!

A crisp sound of "Ding"!
Xie Xuanyi punched down, hitting the skinny ghost in the cheek, and chiseled it back into the stone wall. He wanted to retreat and distance himself, but he felt a resistance. Although the skinny ghost's head was embedded in the stone wall, his palms were tightly grasping his ankles, and he did not let go even after being hit hard...

He frowned.

During the previous fight, Xie Xuanyi discovered that this skinny guy was surprisingly resistant to blows. His bones and muscles were as hard as iron and he was fine no matter how hard he was beaten!
After igniting the 108 acupoints with golden energy.

Xie Xuanyi's physique has greatly improved and is completely different from when he fought against Jia Liu.

But he knew very well that his current physical body had not yet reached the level to compete with the Buddhist monks in the "Golden Body Realm".

The so-called Golden Body Realm is actually the "Cave Heaven" in the realm of Qi Refiners.

"Xie Zhen, stop pretending, you are not a body cultivator."

The thin ghost pulled his head out of the stone pit with one hand and said with a grim smile: "The power of this punch cannot be compared with that of the meat Buddha. What on earth are you cultivating?"

After a brief fight on the Po Lu, he got to know Xie Zhen a little... This kid's attack speed was incredibly fast, and his punches and kicks were quite mysterious, and he couldn't avoid them.

But the good news is, it seems there’s no need to hide!

Although Xie Zhen's physique is pretty good, it has not yet reached the level of "Golden Body Realm"!

"Do you want to know?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his palm and placed it in front of the thin ghost's cheek.

This time.

He didn't press it.

But there is an inch distance between them.

"and many more."

The thin ghost's pupils shrank slightly. It was precisely this deliberately maintained one-inch distance that suddenly made him feel an unprecedented fear...

Xie Xuanyi's eyes turned cold.

Every sword practitioner in Dashui Sword Palace needs to cultivate their soul.

The Lotus Peak that he had entered had the most powerful secret book on spiritual practice in the world.

Now, my natal flying sword is gone.

But the powerful spiritual power still exists.

"Buzz!"

Countless vital energies suddenly gathered at the palm of the hand!

Xie Xuanyi’s palm struck down from the air!

The thin ghost looked terrified and quickly loosened his hands that were clenching his ankles, but he was still hit. He was thrown out again like a kite with a broken string, but this time he stood up quickly and looked at Xie Xuanyi as if he had seen a ghost!
"He's fine, is there any treasure with him?"

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

He noticed that the skinny ghost had an ornament hanging on his waist that did not match his temperament.

If I guessed correctly, this ornament should be the magic weapon of the soul bestowed by Chu Lin...

This object is of good quality. It took my blow and didn't seem to be damaged at all.

It's a bit tricky.

……

……

"This Xie Zhen is actually cultivating the spirit!"

Xie Xuanyi was deep in thought.

The skinny ghost's back was completely wet with cold sweat!

He examined the divine soul treasure bestowed by King You Hai with great concern.

In just one move, cracks appeared inside the treasure!
Although the treasure took the blow for him, his heart was still damaged... His physical body was very strong, but his soul was its weak point.

The pressure that Xie Zhen brought to him at this moment.

Already surpassed Chu Man!
It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like if there was no treasure and the sea of ​​god was hit by this blow.

Will the lake in my heart...explode directly?
With the thin ghost's silence, the originally tense scene suddenly became quiet.

The atmosphere at this moment even became a little weird...

Those evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang who were ready to take action looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw the stalemate between Shou Gui and Xie Zhen.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the skinny ghost was distracting Xie Zhen to launch a fierce attack.

But now it seems that the situation has changed subtly.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the thin ghost turned around and ran away, not giving anyone time to react.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

"???"

All the evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang were stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the thin ghost disappeared without a trace.

"He ran away, just like that?" Xie Xuanyi didn't expect that the skinny ghost would just run away!
He just took on my own spiritual attack!

He was still racking his brains over how to deal with that spiritual treasure... Now it seemed that this matter was not as difficult as he had expected. The treasure might have been damaged inside, and the thin ghost's behavior clearly showed that he was afraid of spiritual attacks!
Yuan Yi was also stunned.

She never expected that during the fierce battle before, the skinny evil cultivator who had suppressed Senior Sister Chun Ling so much that she couldn't even raise her head was not even a match for Xie Zhen!
Now that the skinny ghost has escaped, then the remaining evil cultivators are...

"Everyone."

Xie Xuanyi sighed and turned around.

The development of things is really ironic.

He spoke softly, "You seem to have followed the wrong person... But there is good news. That guy can't escape, and you will meet him soon."

The words fell.

Xie Xuanyi raised his palm and waved it lightly.

Not far away, Yuan Yi felt a chill in his heart.

A "buzz" sound!
The scabbard in her arms trembled uncontrollably, and the long sword suddenly burst out with a high-pitched sword sound. Yuan Yi had no time to hold down the hilt, and the sword flew out of the scabbard and flew in the direction where Xie Xuanyi waved his hand.

A white rainbow pierces through the darkness.

The sword light pierced through the crowd, bringing out a puff of blood.

Xie Xuanyi held the long sword, smoothed the trembling blade with two fingers, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I will see you off!"

Next.

One man and one sword, they crashed into the evil cultivators, their treasures glowed, their vital energy burst out, and the fire talisman hanging in the sky was shaking continuously—

Yuan Yi widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

A wolf among the sheep.

There was no suspense in this battle, it was a complete one-sided crushing.

Yuan Yi simply couldn't believe that these evil cultivators from Southern Xinjiang were able to slaughter so many people in the previous duel with Baihua Valley.

Compared with Xie Zhen.

They are simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Twenty breaths, or perhaps even shorter, Yuan Yi's mind was blank. He only saw the figures surrounding Xie Zhen flying backwards one after another. Some exploded into blood mist, and some broke into sixteen or seventeen pieces, sliding in all directions... Finally, a young man in black clothes and wearing a bamboo hat walked in front of him, holding the hilt upside down, and slowly inserted his sword "Reed", which had never been stained with blood, into the sheath.

"The sword is good."

Xie Xuanyi praised softly.

Since he came to Yuzhu Town, he has never used a sword-like treasure in the strict sense.

Either an oil-paper umbrella or an ordinary sword forged by an ordinary blacksmith.

This sword is the first one.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Yuan Yi was still in shock and in a state of panic.

She didn't even dare to look up at Xie Zhen. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and saw the ground was littered with the corpses of the evil cultivators from southern Xinjiang.

She knew that this young Tanyiwei envoy was very powerful.

But I didn't expect it to be this strong.

"The Imperial City Bureau has the 'Ruyi Order', and the Hundred Flowers Valley should also have a similar magical instrument."

Xie Xuanyi spoke.

Yuan Yi recovered and whispered, "Yes. But I tried and failed to communicate several times. The soul treasures...cannot be used."

Xie Xuanyi looked around.

Does the formation of the Bai Ze Secret Realm actually isolate the internal space as well?
"If we can't communicate, can we sense the location of our fellow disciples?"

This question stunned Yuan Yi.

Xie Zhen's words inspired her. She quickly took out a token as small as a willow leaf. After injecting her soul into it, a faint glow appeared on the tip of the willow leaf, and it slowly turned in a direction.

"Every disciple of Baihua Valley has his own 'willow leaf'. As long as the holder injects his soul into it, they can have a vague sense of direction between each other -"

Yuan Yi was pleasantly surprised and said: "Mr. Xie, you are simply a genius!"

Willow leaves have many functions.

On weekdays, everyone uses it to convey messages.

Very few people use it to sense directions... But it is different now. In the Bai Ze Secret Realm, communication through the soul is impossible, but if you can sense the direction, you can find reinforcements!
"very good."

Xie Xuanyi nodded.

There was a reason why he asked this.

The Chu family recruited such a group of evil cultivators to start a massacre in the Baihua Valley in the Bai Ze Secret Realm. This was clearly a plan that had been made long ago.

It is clear.

The Chu family has made "complete preparations" in advance!
Even the possibility of a teleportation array in the secret realm was within their consideration!

And the thin ghost's decision to run away just now... in Xie Xuanyi's opinion, meant that this guy must know the location of his other companions.

From this, it is not difficult to infer that the cultivators of the Chu family also have objects similar to "willow leaves" in their hands.

"In that case, then lead the way."

Xie Xuanyi turned around, pressed down his hat, and walked forward.

There are many formations in the Bai Ze Secret Realm, and the roads are complicated.

Instead of searching for the skinny ghost like a headless fly, it is better to use the willow leaves to directly find the "survivors" in Baihua Valley.

"lead the way……"

Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

But when he lowered his head, he saw his senior sister's head...

At this moment, the fear gradually receded.

The anger of being hunted and deceived surged in my heart.

The little girl took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, hugged the "reed" tightly, and quickly caught up with Xie Xuanyi.
