Embers of Sword

Chapter 84 A friend comes from afar
The wind is howling and the formation talismans are fluttering!
Deng Baiyi held the talisman of the main formation in both hands, and a ray of bright red color emerged between heaven and earth, reflecting in her eyes like a raging fire!
A hot wind blew out from the clothes.

Deng Baiyi's feet left the ground, and he floated up on the blazing waves, standing in front of the Qingcan formation.

The Changchun formation is in full view.

Countless trees trembled under the impact of the raging waves.

The second wave is coming!

"Array, get up!"

There was a flash of determination and ruthlessness in Deng Baiyi's eyes.

She raised her hands, her ten fingers cracked, and blood spurted out.

Boom!
Along the Lichao River, thousands of scorching hot red shadows suddenly appeared in the cold and humid air. As Deng Baiyi put his hands together, these thousands of red shadows collided with each other and formed a fiery red barrier!
"What formation is this?"

The Taoist disciples all looked up, looking at the strange woman floating in the air in confusion.

This formation is unheard of!

The second wave crashed fiercely into the iron wall of Changchun Formation.

Countless plants and trees roared and wailed!
Under the gazes of dozens of people.

The wall of grass and trees that rose from the ground was washed away into an extremely exaggerated curve!

The huge tide was bounced back by the grass and trees, and immediately joined the next wave of attack with even more ferocious force. Under the blessing of the magic of the Eclipse Marsh, the huge tide burst out with a breathtaking tidal sound, as if it would swallow up everyone's souls!
Just as Deng Baiyi had predicted before! The strength of the Changchun formation was limited, and relying solely on these formations, it could not withstand the real tide!

The second wave alone almost destroyed the Changchun Formation!
The spirits of plants and trees have reached their limits.

now.

A ray of fire shot up into the sky, reaching up to the ninth heaven!
The third tide arrived almost at the same time as the second tide!
Deng Baiyi completed the summoning of the formation at this moment.

The overwhelming waves were held back by a scorching blood-red barrier!

Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times!
Using the Changchun Formation to fight against the Tide Festival may be able to stop the tide temporarily, but the tide that retreats briefly will turn into a stronger wave!
In this kind of thing...it's better to burn than to block!

"Chucky!"

Countless blood-red fire shadows appeared in front of the tide. For a moment, the raging waves that fell like a giant clapping their hands were burned by the high temperature and exploded in the air.

Countless scalding hot air swept and spread!
"You managed to handle it?"

The Taoist disciples looked stunned.

The formation masters in the City Lord's Mansion were also stunned.

This third wave was completely taken over by the formation commanded by Deng Baiyi... to be more precise, it was perfectly resolved!
The Phoenix Fire, which is powerful enough to burn everything, is the best "weapon" to resolve this tide!
But at this moment, the great formation that stretched along the Lichao River was actually no longer considered the "Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Formation"—

The formation that Xie Xuanyi taught Deng Baiyi could only be set up in a small area.

Now, the formation laid out by Deng Baiyi covers the entire river bank. Has its scope expanded by more than ten times?
She modified the formation pattern.

The focus of the formation was also modified.

The Taoist scriptures left by the Dasui Sword Palace were naturally perfect... The complete Nine-Bright Phoenix Fire Formation was actually larger than the one Deng Baiyi had laid out now, but Xie Xuanyi had deliberately made changes in order to ambush Jia Liu.

If you can change it once, you can change it a second time.

So Deng Baiyi "thought she was smart" and made a second modification... Although she was a genius in formation, she had practiced for too short a time, and her knowledge and experience were too shallow. Modifications of this degree would naturally reduce the power of the formation.

But it has to be said.

This revised formation that suddenly appeared on the surface of the Lichao River has strange carvings, but it is surprisingly easy to use!
Another blessing in disguise.

Deng Baiyi's "modification" changed the aura of the entire formation. None of the formation masters from the Taoist sect, the Jiang family, or the City Lord's Mansion could tell the origin of this formation!
Before, everyone doubted her origins.

And now...

Everyone thought that this strange girl must be a proud disciple of a certain formation master who was accepted in a low-key manner.

……

……

The entire world was filled with fiery red.

Muffled thunder sounds rang out.

Xie Xuanyi sat in front of the Taoist furnace hall, with a slender reed sword that fluttered like a grass leaf in front of him.

He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact his spiritual thoughts had already enveloped the entire hall!
Daojiu opened nearly a hundred doors.

Under the fire, these portals are looming in the firelight——

The sound of muffled thunder means that the structure of the entire secret realm is being disrupted by the formation patterns and is being reorganized again!

Opening the door at this time is most likely to attract "guests"!
"coming!"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly opened his eyes.

Dao Jiu also narrowed his eyes.

There were footsteps coming from the door in front of him.

An old woman with thin cheeks and wearing loose clothes carefully poked her head out.

Xie Xuanyi raised his arm directly.

A "buzz" sound of a sword!
The reeds rose from the ground, turned into a stream of light, and shot directly towards the old woman!

The latter's pupils contracted, and he quickly raised his hands to block, while a sharp explosion sounded from his throat.

"Xie Zhen! It's you again!"

The light of the reed sword shot out, and when it approached the old woman's cheek, it was suddenly entangled by thousands of silver threads!

This three-foot space was filled with invisible silver threads at some point!

A huge figure suddenly appeared behind the old woman. The figure radiated golden light and roared as it stepped on the ground. It was like a wild bull, tearing the silver thread apart and crashing into the flying sword. It ignored the sharpness of the flying sword and grabbed it in its palm!
"Back!"

Xie Xuanyi had a blank expression on his face and waved his two fingers lightly.

The flying sword did not hesitate to fight, it returned and went back into the sheath in an instant.

The next moment, three familiar figures slowly walked out of the portal.

Chu Man, the old woman, and Meat Buddha all had some injuries on their bodies... It was obvious that they had suffered some hardships on the outskirts of Bai Ze Secret Realm. When they stepped out of the gate and saw the majestic and magnificent Dao Furnace Hall, they were all stunned.

They were shocked by the vision of the [Tao Furnace]!

"Xie Zhen, this is your friend?"

Daojiu spoke with interest.

It was worth it that he opened all the doors and pointed the outer entrances towards himself.

Xie Zhen’s three friends are at a good level, and their aura is very similar to those cultivators who set foot here in the past!
Daojiu likes such "monks".

Daojiu's voice floated in the hall.

The three people's faces changed color again. If they were not mistaken... this figure hanging in the air was the spirit of this furnace? !

To be able to cultivate into a human form and speak, what kind of realm is this!
Chu Man had a gloomy expression, grabbing the guqin's cloth, ready to run away again... The spirit in front of her was likely to have the combat power of the Yin Shen realm. If this creature had been subdued by Xie Zhen, then they would only have death if they set foot in this place!
"Yes, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar." Xie Xuanyi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Everyone, now that you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave!"

Dao Jiu smiled slightly and waved his hand to close all the doors!
"???"

Chu Man subconsciously took a step back, but found that she was stepping on empty air!
The door is closed!

"Don't worry, you three."

Daojiu saw what these three people feared the most.

He said in a gentle voice: "Xie Zhen just arrived one step earlier than you... He is not the master of this [Dao Furnace] yet."

Then, he used his soul to transmit the sound and told Chu Man and the other two the rules of seizing the [Dao Furnace]!
"If we kill all the others, we can get the Dao Furnace?"

The three were stunned again.

The next moment, Chu Man was the first to retreat... the portal had disappeared, and she had no time to observe the hall.

Qin Bu was torn away in mid-air, and she retreated dozens of feet, putting some distance between herself and Xie Xuanyi, the old woman, and the Meat Buddha.

After Daojiu announced the rules.

Chu Man was very clear that her two evil fellow practitioners could not be trusted at all!
Once there is enough interest!

They will stab themselves without hesitation!

An interesting scene appeared...

The old woman and the Meat Buddha, after looking at each other, made a similar choice.

The three of them stood in three different positions, supporting each other.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi watched this scene in silence.

In his expectation, after Daojiu closed the portal, the three of them would join forces to attack him.

Reality is more ironic than expected.

The three of them traveled together to search for treasure in the Bai Ze secret realm.

But at the critical moment of life and death, no one dared to trust the other!

"Xie Zhen, your three friends are quite interesting."

Dao Jiu sighed: "It reminds me of those 'old friends' from hundreds of years ago."

The same was true for those demon cultivators who entered this hall back then.

They were supporting each other just a moment ago.

His expression changed quickly, and in the end... not a single person was left alive.

"Is it interesting? The more interesting things are yet to come."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled.

He looked at Chu Man and said loudly, "Miss Chu, are you satisfied with the gift Xie gave you?"

Chu Man was stunned for a moment.

"Miss Chu, have you forgotten? That day when you helped me into the room, you said that you hated evil cultivators the most in your life and wanted to tear their tendons and bones apart!"

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Now the plan of the secret mausoleum is almost over, what are you waiting for? Kill these two people... This [Dao Furnace] is the gift from the Imperial City Bureau to the prince!"

The two evil cultivators were horrified.

Chu Man shouted angrily: "Xie, what nonsense are you talking about! Stop trying to sow discord!"

Having said that.

But the next moment, the guqin emitted a soul-cleansing sound, which was actually aimed at the Flesh Buddha!

"Chu Man! You crazy woman!"

The golden Buddha was well prepared. He took out the magical treasure that Chu Lin had given him and took the attack head-on.

The ground shook.

The giant Buddha rushed towards Chu Man in a desperate manner. The latter had a blank expression on his face, and he played hundreds or even thousands of syllables with his bare hands at an extremely fast speed!
Buzz buzz!

The divine jade artifact in the hand of the golden Buddha was instantly shattered.

His entire sea of soul was also shattered by the sound of the piano. During the collision, his purple palace broke apart, and finally his entire body crashed heavily into the hall!

the other side.

Seeing that something was not right, the old woman ran away. She was very clear that this [Dao Furnace] opportunity had nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end... At this moment, she turned around and ran towards the exit of the hall, but it was a pity that Xie Xuanyi did not give her this opportunity.

The old woman turned into a rainbow of light and flew out.

Xie Xuanyi started later but arrived first. He raised his foot and instantly arrived in front of the rainbow light.

He didn't even draw his sword. He just gave a simple knee strike, and the mechanical engineer was knocked into the ground and flew backwards, falling into the angry waves of Chu Mancang Haiyin's soul!

"No!"

The old woman's eyes widened, and countless bloodshot veins appeared in her pupils.

Her body was shattered by the sound waves, her clothes exploded, and then a beam of blood rushed out. The blood light was very small, and it was actually a "freak" in the shape of a baby!
From beginning to end.

The old women are just carriers of mechanical technology.

The "real body" that controls the mechanism is hidden in the old woman's abdomen...

If the old woman encounters a strong enemy that she cannot defeat and has no way to escape, she will fake her death using the "turtle breathing technique".

It’s a pity that the person she met was Xie Xuanyi.

Xie Xuanyi had already noticed the old woman's weirdness.

The blood baby screamed and rushed towards Xie Xuanyi.

Xie Xuanyi did not retreat but advanced, pushing out the reed scabbard with his thumb.

A flash of cold light passed by.

Whistle rustle!
Countless silver lights suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!
Sword energy and silver threads of mechanical technology instantly covered the entire world. In just a moment... hundreds and thousands of mechanical threads were cut and shattered by the sword energy!

Also cut apart was the blood infant that rushed towards Xie Xuanyi.

The blood infant rushed through the sword energy threads laid by Xie Xuanyi at an extremely fast speed.

And then, there was nothing.

Xie Xuanyi looked at the "mechanical masters" scattered on the ground and slowly closed the scabbard.
