Embers of Sword

Chapter 75: Unwelcome Request (Second Update!)
The cold wind blew in front of the hall, lifting the white clothes of the little girl Yuan Yi.

The sound of the sword is still echoing.

There was extreme silence in front of the hall.

The tragic smell of blood wafted in the wind, and the entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chu Man looked pale as she looked at the head that was falling not far from her...

The child cannot die any more.

The role of the formation master is crucial. If a large formation can be formed successfully, he can single-handedly resist the attacks of several powerful people of the same realm.

This is actually the reason why he died.

Because it’s so important.

So it must be done as a priority.

"Chi chi chi——"

This strong bloody wind finally blew to Xie Xuanyi, blowing his bamboo hat and black robe.

Xie Xuanyi was standing next to Yuan Yi, three feet away.

Three feet is the distance of the sword.

It is also within arm’s reach.

With just a stretch of his hand, he could pull the "reed" out of Yuan Yi's arms.

No one expected that in just a few breaths, the Chu family, which was originally so powerful that it almost overwhelmed Baihua Valley, was reduced to only three cave heavens, and all the evil cultivators in southern Xinjiang were completely killed.

Xie Xuanyi's sword was so fast that killing these people was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

At this moment, the three cave gods were all tense, as if facing a powerful enemy, and no one acted rashly.

It only took Xie Zhen a blink of an eye to kill the Cave Heaven Realm Formation Master...so how long would it take to kill the second Cave Heaven Realm Formation Master?
Or maybe a blink of an eye.

The situation fell into a stalemate.

Chu Man narrowed her eyes and stared at Xie Zhen, who was dressed in black. She found that the latter seemed calm, but his breathing was actually a little disordered.

She raised her eyebrows and pointed out Xie Xuanyi's situation: "He has no vitality!"

Yuan Yi, who was holding the sword, was startled by these words and broke out in a cold sweat. She subconsciously looked at the black-clothed boy beside her. Although his face under the bamboo hat was still calm, beads of sweat were already sliding down the edge of his cheeks.

Xie Xuanyi was indeed out of energy.

Although he is a world-famous genius swordsman.

But after all, he is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage now.

In fact, using Tongtian Sword Skill to kill a Dongtian Realm cultivator... is already an unreasonable thing to do!

Chu Man's previous intuition was very accurate. In a sense, there was not much difference between Xie Xuanyi and the reincarnated Taoist masters. Moreover, when it came to "killing people", Xie Xuanyi was even more pure, because the secrets in his sea of ​​soul were almost all related to the way of the sword.

As long as he holds the sword and his energy allows, he can kill enemies far beyond his current realm.

The child died unjustly, he died under the sword of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But it is very reasonable, because the name of the person who built the foundation is "Xie Xuanyi".

"No vitality?"

The Meat Buddha spoke in a deep voice, his tone somewhat doubtful.

He stretched out his hands, supported himself against the broken stone wall and slowly stood up. The two sword beams just now had made his whole body numb.

The golden Buddha did not take any action but looked at the old woman.

The old woman who was a mechanical engineer also did not take any action.

Both of them were skeptical about Chu Man's words, so no one stepped forward.

At this moment, the remaining sword sounds surrounding everyone were like the flapping of birds' wings, gradually rising and constantly circling... Although the sound was small, it was still frightening.

"Miss Chu has a good eye. I really have very little energy left."

Xie Xuanyi smiled faintly and whispered softly: "Maybe... there is another sword?"

One sword?!

The Meat Buddha and the old woman looked at each other with horror in their eyes. It was like the sword just now, which would shatter anything it touched. Whoever got on it would die!
"Miss Chu, it's not that we don't cooperate with you."

The Flesh Buddha gritted his teeth and took the lead in transmitting his voice: "This Xie Zhen's sword energy is too terrifying. Is it really necessary to fight him to the death?"

Chu Man was slightly startled. She noticed that the Flesh Buddha was removing his golden body while speaking.

The intention is already very clear.

He didn't want to fight with Xie Zhen here!
"Master Chu, we are here to search for treasures in the secret realm."

The old woman also spoke up at this moment: "All the people in the Hundred Flower Valley Cave Heaven died in the battle. There is no one left to interfere with us. Why do we have to kill them all?"

Why kill them all? It is really ironic that this sentence comes from the mouth of the evil cultivator in southern Xinjiang.

But Chu Man already understood the thoughts of these two cave masters.

They were frightened by Xie Zhen's sword and wanted to retreat!
Regardless of whether what Xie Zhen said was true or not, they were unwilling to step forward and try.

If I really want to fight Xie Zhen to death...

Then she would need to take action to break the sword.

Can I break this sword with just my own strength?

Chu Man was really unsure and she fell into deep thought.

She was 90% sure and suspected that Xie Zhen was bluffing!
But what if it’s not?
"Buzz!"

After a brief silence, Xie Xuanyi stretched out his hand again and grasped the sword in Yuan Yi's arms. The sound of the sword suddenly became louder, and the old women of the Flesh Buddha all changed color. The roaring sound echoed in front of the hall, interrupting Chu Man's thoughts.

"go!"

Chu Man let out a low roar, grabbed the guqin, and retreated violently.

The old woman was relieved, and the three of them quickly retreated to the end of the darkness.

Xie Xuanyi did not chase after him.

He held the hilt of the Reed Sword like this for ten breaths, and there was still no movement in the darkness.

Xie Xuanyi then released the hand holding the sword.

The Taoist pattern in the hall slowly opened a gap, and a pretty face with a pale complexion peeked out from inside.

The surviving disciples of Baihua Valley had been hiding in the main hall from beginning to end, watching the battle nervously. They dared not make a sound, nor show their faces, and only at this moment did they dare to untie the Dao patterns.

"Junior Sister Yuan Yi!"

The female disciple who stuck her face out shouted hurriedly.

Yuan Yi let out a long sigh. She subconsciously took two steps forward, then remembered something and quickly turned around. She slightly bent her knees, took Xie Xuanyi's hand, and placed it on her shoulder.

Xie Xuanyi looked at her in surprise.

He did not refuse. Xie Xuanyi was supported by Yuan Yi and walked into the hall.

The Dao pattern is closed.

He saw clearly the scene inside the hall. The Chu family's sneak attack caused heavy losses to Baihua Valley, and all four cave masters were killed in the battle.

But including Yuan Yi, there are still seven survivors.

These seven were all female disciples. All of them were injured. The most seriously injured had an arm broken. At this moment, they were leaning against a pillar in the hall and were still in a coma.

"Senior Sister Lu."

Yuan Yi looked at the tragic scene in the hall with a sad look in his eyes: "Are these the only people left in Baihua Valley?"

The senior sister named Lu Yuan who took the initiative to open the Dao pattern was also seriously injured. Half of her white shirt was soaked with blood. At this moment, her voice was gloomy: "Yes. This is all thanks to Senior Sister Hong Jing's protection... We encountered a sneak attack when we first entered the secret realm."

The four cave heavens, except Hong Jing... were almost all wiped out.

Hong Jing was besieged by the Meat Buddha and the old woman!

Although he was the eldest disciple of Baihua Valley and his realm was not bad, he was unable to defeat two opponents alone and could only retreat with his junior sisters. Fortunately, the formation pattern in the secret realm changed in time, and Hong Jing successfully escaped with six junior sisters and came here.

"In this hall, in addition to the Dao patterns, there are also several mechanical formations."

Lu Yuan said in a hoarse voice: "Senior Sister Hong Jing said that as long as we hold on for a while, the changes in the secret realm will definitely be discovered... This hall contains mysteries, and it is an excellent place to garrison."

Hong Jing has a good idea.

But unfortunately.

Among those evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang, there is also one named Chu Man who is good at killing people with music!

If it weren't for Chu Man, perhaps they could really use the formation patterns in the hall to mediate with the evil cultivators.

"Senior Sister Hong..."

Yuan Yi's voice was choked with sobs.

She didn't dare look back to see the pool of blood outside.

The little girl's fingers dug deeply into her palms.

If I had come earlier, would Senior Sister Hong have not died?
She had been walking very fast along the way.

Although the willow leaves could provide a vague sense of direction, the formation patterns in the Bai Ze Secret Realm often changed, causing the two to take many detours. In addition, they encountered a thin ghost on the road, which wasted some time...

"It's my fault."

Yuan Yi clenched his teeth, his heart filled with guilt.

When Lu Yuan saw this scene, he just shook his head silently.

She didn't say anything, but turned her gaze to Xie Zhen.

"Thank you, sir."

Lu Yuan asked softly, "You seem to have lost a lot of vitality. Are you injured?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi did not say anything, but just silently looked at the disciples of Baihua Valley in front of him.

Traveled around the world for many years.

Xie Xuanyi knows a truth——

No matter when, don't reveal your cards. The more desperate you are, the more you cannot show weakness.

Chu Man guessed correctly.

He really didn't have much energy left.

But if Chu Man had decided to drag those two evil cultivators into battle just now, then he would definitely be able to draw his sword.

And more than one sword!
If Chu Man wants to expose her "lie", she will have to pay the price with blood... And now facing this group of seemingly innocent disciples of Baihua Valley, Xie Xuanyi also kept his hand on Yuan Yi's shoulder, seemingly because he was weak.

But it's not.

Xie Xuanyi can pull out the reeds again at any time.

If Lu Yuan and others harbor evil intentions, the moment their true intentions are revealed will be the time for the sword to be unsheathed again!

If you want to live well in the world of cultivation, you must learn to always assume the worst of others.

"This contains Qing Yuan Dan."

Lu Yuan took out a waist bag from his arms.

She could see that Xie Zhen was still on guard against her, so she handed the waist bag directly to Junior Sister Yuan Yi.

She said softly, "If Master Xie is interested, these pills may be able to make up for some of the loss of vitality."

Yuan Yi blinked.

Although she was simple, she was not stupid and knew why her senior sister handed the waist bag to her.

"Mr. Xie?"

She carefully opened her waist bag, revealing the Qingyuan Pill inside, and asked tentatively.

It is the genuine Qingyuan Pill.

After Xie Xuanyi saw it clearly, he picked up a pill and crushed it without any hesitation.

There was a "boom"!
The rolling vitality spread in the palm of the hand——

The next moment, it was like a drop in the ocean, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed into the palm of Xie Xuanyi's hand!
The empty vital energy in Dantian was immediately replenished.

Xie Xuanyi's complexion improved a lot.

His expression softened a lot as he looked at Lu Yuan.

"Today, Mr. Xie saved my life. Lu Yuan will never forget it. I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life!"

At this moment.

Lu Yuan slowly stepped back a few steps, then knelt down with a plop!

She cast a glance at the person behind her.

The injured disciples of Baihua Valley also knelt down with her.

Xie Xuanyi frowned as he looked at the kneeling young female disciples.

"I have an unwelcome request..."

Lu Yuan knelt on the ground, his body trembling, his voice trembling as well: "We are not afraid of death, but we are not willing to wait for death here... If Mr. Xie can leave the secret realm, please tell Young Valley Master Ye Qinglian everything that happened today. Baihua Valley has never suffered such a betrayal. King Youhai colluded with the evil cultivators in southern Xinjiang, and the Chu family must pay the price for this!"
