Embers of Sword

Chapter 727 Master and Servant
The Chaos Dao Domain unfolded and collided with the Withered Dao Domain in an instant!
"Boom!"

Countless withered branches shattered, and the dark clouds in the sky parted.

Ya Zi has just broken through to the next realm, so in terms of strength... he is naturally no match for the Dead Phoenix, and in terms of understanding the Great Dao, he is far inferior!

But at this moment, when the two were fighting, Ya Zi had the upper hand in terms of both momentum and moves!

the reason is simple.

He is not fighting alone!
In the sky, Yuwen Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his divine sense already locked onto the dead phoenix, ready to strike at any moment.

In the clouds, Xie Xuanyi hovered on his sword, sword energy densely covering all directions, preparing for a counterattack.

This is the risk one must take when "venturing deep into enemy territory alone".

Even if the Dead Phoenix had a backup plan, she wouldn't use it on "Yazi." She fought and retreated simultaneously...

Xie Xuanyi was about to draw his sword when he was suppressed by a divine thought.

"No need to do anything."

Yuwen Bo stood atop the sky, observing indifferently, and calmly said, "Give it to Ya Zi... Don't draw your sword again. The Demon Kingdom is eager to obtain your information, and the Dead Phoenix may still have some supernatural powers left behind."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanyi abandoned the idea of ​​attacking with his sword.

Sure enough, a few breaths later, a clear and sharp cry rang out between heaven and earth!
The dead phoenix abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to attack Jiayong Pass, and directly used its innate demonic form to smash through the void, escaping before Yuwen Bo could make a move!
"Palace Master Yuwen, are you just going to let her escape like that?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke with some regret.

He originally thought that Yuwen Bo was watching the battle from the top of the sky in order to make a move at the crucial moment and cut off the retreat of the dead phoenix!
The Palace Master of Qiantian Palace is above the Death Phoenix in terms of cultivation level. Even without Yazi, he would definitely have the upper hand in a fight.

Unfortunately.

Throughout the entire process, Yuwen Bo did not make a move.

"No rush... there will be other opportunities in the future..."

Yuwen Bo watched the dead phoenix escape, and gently exhaled a long breath. At this moment, his voice was obviously hoarse and revealed a hint of fatigue.

"Ok?"

Xie Xuanyi realized something was wrong and quickly rode his sword to the very top of the sky.

At this moment, he finally understood why Yuwen Bo had only ordered Ya Zi to take action, without participating in the battle himself.

now.

The man standing at the highest point of the sky, his body taut and upright, appears majestic, but in reality, he is not.

The seemingly intact bright yellow garment was torn to shreds on the back, revealing a deep red wound stained with blood.

Yuwen Bo... has just experienced a great battle against the Yang Gods and was seriously injured!

"senior!"

Xie Xuanyi quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Only after confirming that the dead phoenix had retreated did Yuwen Bo dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

He smiled wearily and said, "A formidable demon has arrived from Shifang City... I was injured, but he didn't gain any advantage..."

The Qian Tian Palace possesses the art of dragon divination!

Yuwen Bo cultivated a martial arts saintly body, yet he was beaten like this... Who is this person?

"Senior, what kind of powerful demon could have injured you like this?"

Xie Xuanyi quickly sent him to the Dao Realm of Life.

"The master of the desolate peak of Mount Great Ape".

Yuwen Bo chuckled lightly: "An old rival... This guy broke my 'Dragon Form,' but his natal demon body was also damaged by the Coiled Dragon Seal. I imagine his days won't be any easier than mine..."

He paused halfway through his sentence.

Feeling the snow-white Dao Realm power Xie Xuanyi infused into his arm, Yuwen Bo waved his hand, instinctively refusing: "Boy, you should keep this bit of Life Dao Realm to yourself. The injury to the Yang Spirit cannot be healed by Dao Realm alone..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Yuwen Bo's expression turned strange.

what the hell!

Xie Xuanyi's Dao realm... how come it's different from what I expected?
The "Dragon Appearance" divine power of Qiantian Palace connects the major acupoints, bloodline, and primordial fire. After fighting the old monkey of Great Ape Mountain, half of Yuwen Bo's primordial fire was extinguished. However, under the infusion of the Dao of Life realm, this primordial fire is recovering at an extremely rapid speed. What a terrifying recovery speed! "Senior, how do you feel?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and spoke with concern.

Within this realm of the Dao of Life, he mixed in an extremely small amount of the Immortal Spring's vapor, which was almost imperceptible.

However, even this tiny amount of immortal spring water vapor is enough to have a miraculous effect on physical injuries!

"You've got some skills, kid."

Yuwen Bo's expression was complicated. He lowered his voice and asked, "This shouldn't be a healing process that the 'Way of Life' realm can accomplish, right?"

"Senior... what do you mean by that?"

Xie Xuanyi blinked.

"you……"

Yuwen Bo was at a loss for words.

He has always been an open and honest person.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to release water despite the heavy pressure from Renshou Palace back then.

"If I remember correctly, you've been in seclusion at the Great Jade Sword Palace for almost half a year, haven't you?"

After thinking for a long time, Yuwen Bo said meaningfully, "A lot has happened outside in the past six months... I think you should have a good talk with Chen Jingxuan. There are some things I can't say."

The two were talking.

A figure shot up to the top of the sky.

The iron chains rattled.

"Master, the dead phoenix escaped, and I did not pursue it further."

It was Yazi.

Ya Zi had just finished the battle and was gradually returning to human form from his jackal-bodied, dragon-headed state. He stepped forward, took over Xie Xuanyi's actions, and helped Yuwen Bo up, but his gaze lingered on Xie Xuanyi, and he hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something.

Xie Xuanyi noticed.

This time, Ya Zi was different from the last time we met.

It's not just about realm.

In their last encounter, Ya Zi was actually chained up.

After all, he was the powerful demon guarding the Qiantian Palace, and he needed some means of restraint. This iron chain artifact was engraved with the secret patterns of the Qiantian Palace, which was Yuwen Bo's last means of suppressing Ya Zi.

But now, these chains seem to have been severed.

Although they still collide with each other, they no longer have a "restraining" effect.

"The secret runes of the Qiantian Palace cannot suppress the Yang God... After his advancement, it doesn't matter whether the chain is locked or not."

Yuwen Bo saw through Xie Xuanyi's thoughts, chuckled, and said helplessly, "Actually, I've wanted to untie him for a long time."

The relationship between Yuwen Bo and Ya Zi was that of master and servant, but also that of friends.

Between the two...

Somewhat similar to the Venerable Lotus and the Mirror of Repentance from back then.

In order to seek the inheritance of the divine treasure, Ya Zi came to Qian Tian Palace and grew up with Yuwen Bo until today.

To ensure that the great demon could suppress the mountain.

The predecessors and sages of Qiantian Palace bestowed this iron chain upon us.

But as their friendship deepened, the iron chain... gradually became less important.

Now, Yuwen Bo personally unchained him, but Ya Zi still wears the chains at all times.

For him, losing the chains would feel rather strange.

"Xiao Xie Mountain Master..."

Ya Zi coughed lightly, appearing somewhat uneasy.

He stretched out his palm, scratched his head, and asked very respectfully and cautiously, "How is that person doing these days?"
