Embers of Sword

Chapter 389: Killing the Python
The heroes of the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river.

Refining Qi, building foundation, controlling Qi, cave heaven, Yin God, Yang God.

Every step brings a new path forward.

Those who can advance to the Yin God Realm are all outstanding. No matter if they are from an ancient family or a large sect, when they meet them, they have to respectfully call them "Venerable".

Even if one relies on elixirs to advance to the status of a Yin God, there is no hope of condensing a "Dharma Image" in one's lifetime.

You can still become a "worshiper" in the holy places and enjoy many preferential treatments.

This realm is the separation between immortals and mortals.

Xie Xuanyi walked very slowly in his second life, because he knew that this step that trapped millions of people would not trap him.

Whether it is the Yin Shen Realm or the Yang Shen Realm, they are just the scenery on the road.

So he wanted to complete the promotion in the most perfect manner.

Now, he did it.

The dual paths of life and death condense into a state, and the divine fetus of martial arts reshapes the body.

Once promoted, he will possess the perfect combat power of the Tenth Realm of Yin God...

"Buzz!"

In Xie Xuanyi's heart, the long-silent flying sword suddenly began to tremble loudly!

【Chronic illness】has long since recovered.

Feeling the fierce murderous intent outside, it couldn't wait to go into battle, shaking the sword and exerting a strong sword intent.

Xie Xuanyi smiled calmly and whispered in his heart: "Why do we need to use swords in this battle?"

Boom.

Green lightning from the sky descended and turned into a cage, covering the area within a radius of ten miles within the thunder pool.

"kill!"

Du Yunzhong and Meng Kejian looked at each other. They had fought side by side for many years, so they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

This battle seemed to be two against one.

But actually...

They still have a real trump card!

The general is not far away!

They were well aware of Chen Chong's magical powers. This place was only a dozen miles away from Taoyuan. No matter what happened, the general would be able to see it all.

In that case, they just let go!

The two men tried their best to activate the Thunder Dao Intent, and at the same time displayed their own Dharma images. A giant python and a huge bear, with the momentum of mating, pounced towards Xie Zhen in black!

Du Yunzhong arrived first——

The giant bear’s image was ten feet long, and it roared angrily while smashing out with its black palm!
Xie Xuanyi looked calm.

Both of them offered up their Dharma bodies, but he did not. Instead of offering up his Dharma bodies, he retracted the golden light of his martial arts fetus and focused all his strength on his fists.

He looked at the big bear that was rushing towards him, and instead of stepping back, he took a step forward!
Punch!

boom!
This punch emitted a majestic sound of wind and thunder!
"Wow--"

Du Yunzhong's face was distorted hideously and he roared uncontrollably. The majestic Dharma image covering his body was instantly impacted and stirred. The Dharma image of the Tenth Realm of the Yin God, the Giant Bear, blessed by the Thundering Dao, collided with the martial arts fetus that had cultivated the "Dao of Destruction". It was almost peeled off from the host's real body in an instant. Under the suppression of the powerful will of this brave general, it was barely able to hold on to this useless skin.

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyes.

He is indeed a fierce general. Even in the suppression of Beihai back then, he was considered the number one figure.

Talk about speed.

Du Yunzhong's "bear appearance" is definitely not as good as Meng Kejian's "snake appearance".

But when the two of them attacked together, the bear came first after the latter, there must be a reason -

The big bear statue took the punch from the martial arts god, then spread its arms and held Xie Xuanyi in its arms.

obviously.

Du Yunzhong "brazenly" lunged forward in order to provide the "snake" behind him with an opportunity to attack!
Chen Chong's cavalry once conquered the Northern Territory, crushing their way all the way, during which they had several clashes with the demon forces. When the Yu Camp and Cang Camp cavalry faced the enemy alone, their record was brilliant. Du Yunzhong and Meng Kejian once teamed up to kill a demon elder of the tenth level of Yin Shen, and they relied on this trick.

When the two statues have one mind, the power of their combined attack will increase significantly!
A sense of foreboding flashed across Xie Xuanyi's heart.

He narrowed his eyes, followed the induction of his heart and raised his head.

All I saw was the sky filled with rumbling blue thunder.

A large dark cloud suddenly appeared right above my head!

Countless fragments of the "Que Wu Sword" were picked up by Meng Kejian with the thundering Dao intention, sweeping and disappearing in the storm clouds... Meng Kejian actually combined his own "Dao Realm" with the "Thunder Realm" gifted by Chen Chong! Xie Xuanyi had actually felt this kind of killing move before, and it was indeed fierce.

But now it’s different.

There is no longer just one person who can summon the "Thundering Dao Intent".

Du Yunzhong also ignited Chen Chong's gift without hesitation.

The double thunderous Dao intentions were superimposed at this moment—

This power far exceeds the previous murderous intent, and it is condensing and forming above Xie Xuanyi's head at a rapid speed!
"Kakaka!"

At the same time, layers of solid ice swirled around Xie Xuanyi.

Meng Kejian's [Blood-Cold Dao Realm] is taking effect.

The chill is spreading!

Not only Xie Xuanyi, but even Du Yunzhong's big bear form could not avoid it. The thick skin was covered with a layer of ice chips in an instant!
"..."

Xie Xuanyi was not given time to respond.

The big bear Dharma image suddenly let go, and thunder suddenly fell!
The sky and earth were instantly rendered silver-white!
Du Yunzhong and Meng Kejian had a very good understanding of each other, and this slash, which contained a majestic killing intent from the Taoist realm, landed in just an instant!
The "suppression" of the big bear Dharma image was also lifted in the previous moment!

It was a perfect shot.

It is also a blow that cannot be avoided or evaded.

Xie Xuanyi had a cold expression as he looked up at the silver-white lightning that was "swallowing" him.

He suppressed the sword intent that was about to burst out from between his eyebrows.

This strike was indeed perfect.

But it's still a bit slow.

If Du Yunzhong had maintained his suppression, he might not have had time to take countermeasures... But unfortunately, Du Yunzhong "valued his life" and chose to evacuate a moment in advance.

This moment was enough for Xie Xuanyi to summon the sword intent from between his eyebrows!
only……

The scene of the killing of Meng Kejian and Du Yunzhong now reminded Xie Xuanyi of Beihai ten years ago.

That battle was much more brutal and cruel than this one.

At that time, he had no other means and could only rely on sword techniques to attack and kill continuously. In the end, he was exhausted.

Live every day and night of your second life.

Xie Xuanyi was thinking about it.

If the North Sea killing situation happens again, how should I respond?

This was the reason why he tried so hard to take the second path, wanting to cultivate the "Path of Life" to perfection and then ascend to the Yin God.

now.

It's the moment to confirm your thoughts.

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath, chose to suppress the sword thought, and directly met the attack with his physical body.

"This guy is crazy!"

At this moment, Du Yunzhong, who was retreating violently, had only this one thought in his mind.

The martial arts fetus is indeed powerful.

However powerful it is, it is nothing more than a "natal cave" in the name of Yin Shen Wu Fu!
Xie Zhen is indeed a monster, and the intensity of this promotion is indeed unprecedented.

However powerful it is, it can never be stronger than the combined power of the double "Thunderous Dao Intent".

Chen Chong is a top-level warrior standing at the pinnacle of Yin God. He is only one step away from entering the Yang God realm. It can even be said that... he is already a top-level cultivator.

How could a newly-entered Yin God be able to withstand a blow from a great cultivator on the top of the mountain?

Even if this "Thunder Dao Intention" was just a casual gift from Chen Chong...

But those who stand on the top of the mountain can turn the ants below the mountain into ashes with a casual wave of their sleeves.

"Buzz!"

Silver-white lightning exploded, submerging the black clothes.

The extremely powerful impact force was like mercury pouring out on the ground and spreading out like a waterfall.

Du Yunzhong raised his hands to block his cheeks, and the giant bear statue was washed away and almost collapsed.

On the other side, Meng Kejian, who launched the "general attack", was concentrating and staring at the center of the lightning. His pupils shrank to the extreme, turning into an extremely thin and thin scarlet line. Meng Kejian saw clearly that the black-shirted figure that was hit head-on by the silver-white lightning was "melted" in an instant.

Just the next moment.

The "melting" signs are reversing.

The shattered black shirt forced itself to stand up, its burned flesh and blood burning like ashes.

……

…“Boom boom.”

The sound of thunder echoed in Xie Xuanyi's ears, and he silently endured the excruciating pain that penetrated his bones and flesh.

Do not attack with sword energy.

And resist with the flesh.

This was a "stupid" choice, but it was a decision he made after careful consideration!

He wanted to see whether this martial arts god fetus of his, which had been forged through thousands of trials and tribulations, could withstand a casual attack from a “mountain top” figure.

The thundering Dao intention tore the flesh and skin, and the Dao realm of life repaired and compensated for it.

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi seemed to have returned to the North Sea.

just.

Today is different from the past.

There was an immortal spring in his dantian, which was spinning crazily when he was suffering. Countless water vapors evaporated and spread, swirling and surging. After suffering a severe blow, the Yuan Fire of his great orifice did not go out, but burned even more vigorously!
"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of thunder echoing in Xie Xuanyi's ears gradually turned into a roar of qi and blood.

"Is that human being?"

Du Yunzhong, who retreated dozens of feet to watch the battle, was terrified by the scene.

He couldn't believe it.

Meng Kejian absorbed and condensed all the green lightning within a ten-mile radius and released it at Xie Zhen.

The man in black shirt did not dodge or evade, but just resisted with his martial arts spirit.

I guessed right.

Xie Zhen's "Martial Arts Divine Embryo" was indeed unable to compete with the general's realm of Taoism.

only……

Xie Zhen's body was shattered and recovered immediately!
After the destruction of flesh and blood, reorganization comes in an instant!

This was beyond Du Yunzhong's "cognitive scope". He could only attribute this miracle to the state of life... No wonder the Zen master was able to lead the Buddhist sect and sit firmly on the top position in the hundreds of years of struggle between Da Chu and Da Li. The power of the state of life was so strong and too against the will of heaven.

If I were the one who was standing in the center of the thunder pool at this moment, I’m afraid even ten lives wouldn’t be enough!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this moment, Meng Kejian, who was sitting at the top of the thunder pool, had bloodshot eyes.

He was completely bloodthirsty.

The snake-man Dharma lost control and no longer appeared in a "human form". It shed its limbs and completely transformed into a giant python.

This giant python coiled around Xie Zhen.

At the edge of the thunder pool is the python's retracted body!

As the blue lightning burst out, the python's Dharma image gradually shrank.

Look at this posture.

Meng Kejian is no longer prepared to leave himself any way out.

No matter what, he must kill Xie Zhen in this pool of thunder today!
In fact, half a quarter of an hour ago, Meng Kejian didn’t have this idea.

At that time, he was full of thoughts of retreat.

After a head-on clash with the martial arts god, he faced the reality. The battle at the Qixia Mountain teleportation talisman formation was his best chance.

That battle was a failure and Xie Zhen could not be kept.

I lost my last chance.

This genius of the Chu State has now completed the promotion to Yin God, which is considered a step towards success.

No matter how I practice in the future, the gap will only get bigger.

So half a quarter of an hour ago, Meng Kejian's only thought was how to escape. He warned himself that once Du Yunzhong came to support him, he should not be greedy for victory, but seize the opportunity and call it a day. Once Du Yunzhong came, it meant that the general was more than ten miles away, and he could try his last killing move. If the killing move failed, he would immediately join forces to retreat.

Everything...seems to be going according to plan.

But at this moment, Meng Kejian changed his mind.

He stared at the black-clothed young man in the python's body, and looked at the martial arts divine fetus entangled in the dual ways of life and death, and an indescribable complex emotion rose in his heart.

In the thunder pool, flesh and blood were shattered.

That black shirt looked extremely "fragile".

As long as I add more fuel to the fire, it will be completely burned to ashes.

"Ajian! Retreat!"

Du Yunzhong already sensed something was wrong. Although the thundering power could suppress Xie Zhen, it was now dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

Go on like this.

The destruction of the thunder pool is inevitable!
It is a wise move to escape immediately while the will of Tao is still there. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
Although very reluctant.

But they had to admit that Xie Zhen was no longer someone they could do anything to.

"..."

This deep shout received no response.

Du Yunzhong's heart skipped a beat.

On the other side, Meng Kejian, who was in charge of the double thunder Dao, was immersed in the dream of attack and killing and had gone crazy.

The python's body, which had shrunk to the extreme, compressed the young man in black into an extremely narrow three-foot area.

"Shh-"

At this moment.

Xie Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his head, feeling the impact brought by the thunder, wind and snow. The pain in his body gradually faded.

The thundering Dao intention is fading.

I managed to get through this disaster.

"The Immortal Fountain and the Martial Arts Divine Embryo... they are so compatible..."

"My choice was right."

"With the dual realms of life and death, combined with this divine fetus, if I cultivate to the peak of Yin God, and encounter the killing situation in the North Sea ten years ago again, even if the entire Yin Mountain is mobilized, it will not be possible to crush me to death like in my previous life."

Xie Xuanyi let out a deep breath.

He has already mastered this divine fetus and the immortal spring in his dantian.

This battle should be over.

Amid the thunder, he stood up and looked up at the sky, where Meng Kejian was trying to lock him to death with the "Giant Python" method.

"That time at Qixia Mountain, you killed me."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "This time, it's my turn to kill you. That should be fair, right?"

The sound of thunder gradually became smaller, while the sound of wind and snow became louder.

That was Meng Kejian trying his best to activate his Dao Realm...

pity.

The gap in the Yin Shen realm is like a chasm.

No matter how hard Meng Kejian tried, his Dao realm power could not compare to the Thunder realm power that Chen Chong casually gave him.

Lei Ming couldn't suppress Xie Xuanyi.

The wind and snow are even more of a joke.

"boom!"

Xie Xuanyi shook his sleeves, shattering the snow in the sky.

The martial arts god fetus that had been hidden for a long time finally appeared. This god fetus was not very big, but its clothes were pure gold, its figure was blurry, and it was shrouded in chaos. People could not take their eyes off it after taking a look at it.

Perhaps it was because Xie Xuanyi was wearing [Appearance of All Living Beings].

The face of the golden divine fetus was blurry, but its long hair and fluttering clothes were exactly the same as Xie Xuanyi in his previous life.

I saw the surging vital energy condense into a long sword and fall into the palm of the martial arts fetus.

Xie Xuanyi raised his arms.

The martial arts gods raised their arms at the same time.

The tip of the magic sword was pointed at the giant python that was coiled around him.

"...?"

Meng Kejian opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

Compared to the previous bombardment of wind and thunder, the movement of this sword was almost extremely small, so subtle that it was inaudible.

In an instant, the energy burst out.

Sword energy appeared in the sky and earth.

The huge python's head fell off in an instant and hit the ground with a loud bang.
