Embers of Sword

Chapter 510 True and False

boom!
The sword energies clashed, and in an instant, the victor was determined.

Xie Xuanyi pressed down on the black-clad man's cheek, slamming him heavily into the mountain rock. Then, he continued to exert force, countless sword streams of light colliding and merging into one. The battle erupted extremely suddenly and fiercely. Xie Xuanyi, holding the latter down, pushed through the mountain like an unstoppable torrent!

The black-clad swordsman's swordsmanship and Dao realm were almost identical to his own back then... but a "fake" is still a "fake".

Ten years have passed.

Xie Xuanyi today is vastly different from how he was back then.

His swordsmanship originated from the Ōsui Sword Palace.

After two lifetimes of cultivation, his swordsmanship blossomed and reached a new level.

I have gained new insights and understanding.

Dao Realm...

It is no longer just about "extinction".

"Well."

The man in black, pressed into the stone wall, let out a low growl.

Just moments before, he had mocked the person in question, saying that ten years had passed and the sword had slowed down.

but……

In this fight, however, he is at a disadvantage!
The paper figure thanked Xuan Yi for the lotus sword energy containing the "Destruction Dao Realm," but within the range of the divine embryo, it was shaken away by an even more powerful Dao Realm!

The two realms merged into one.

Naturally, it is much more powerful than a single Dao Realm!

They pushed it forward for hundreds of feet.

The paper figure thanked Xuan Yi with difficulty, holding his breath. His mind trembled violently. Under immense pressure, he finally found a sliver of an opportunity to draw his sword.

This sword was aimed fiercely at Xie Xuanyi's face and brow!

"His!"

This sword energy is no longer merely imbued with the Dao of Annihilation.

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, a sense of danger flashing through his mind. Then he saw a streak of snow-white light flash by—

This is Lu Yuzhen's "blank slate"!
Xie Xuanyi suddenly stopped. His divine embryo stretched out its palm and grasped the sword light. The next moment, it was pierced by the snow-white sword energy. Countless snowflakes surged out from the wound and filled the entire mountain corridor. The snowflakes swirled and poured out like a torrent. Xie Xuanyi was forced to stop his attack and retreat several steps.

The two entangled individuals retreated and separated.

One is the real deal, the other is a fake.

They were all dressed in black.

They are almost indistinguishable from one another.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call the paper figure "Xie Jia" and thank Xuan Yi at this moment... Xie Jia's breathing was a little disordered at the moment. After struggling to adjust his breathing, he finally stood up, his long sword planted on the ground, the blade of the sword trembling continuously.

His expression was very unpleasant.

That face, which had remained calm and still for millennia, appeared somewhat pale.

"You want to kill me?"

Xie Jia's voice was hoarse as he recalled the killing intent he had felt during their recent exchange.

If it weren't for having a backup plan...

Then... he/she has most likely already suffered a serious injury!
"What do you say?"

Xie Xuanyi made a sarcastic remark without any expression.

The voice just fell.

He then stepped forward again.

The slow, deliberate cuts, one sword at a time, were meant to instill despair in the Prince of Jiangning...

Now he no longer has that leisure or inclination.

This guy can't be allowed to live!
Step out.

Xie Xuanyi stepped through the swirling white snowflakes and arrived directly in front of Xie Jia—or rather… on top of Xie Jia's head. A sword energy duel was meaningless; both were at the "Destruction Dao Realm," and even if their sword energy clashed to the point of collapsing their own Dao, there would be no true winner. Since this guy was Lu Yuzhen's replica of herself from ten years ago, his greatest weakness was close-quarters combat! Boom!
The majestic Martial Arts Divine Embryo appeared and stomped down heavily!
Xie Jia hurriedly made a move, but his Extinction Sword Qi was countered by Xie Xuanyi's Extinction Sword Qi. He could only unleash the sword qi containing the "White Paper Dao" once again!

Countless paper snowflakes surged forth, transforming into a magnificent canopy.

The Martial Arts Divine Embryo stomped down!
The flowing cloud canopy collapsed in an instant—

Xie Jia stumbled backward, sword in hand, his voice shrill: "Are you insane?!"

Xie Xuanyi remained silent, only continuing to throw punches.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions rang out as hundreds or even thousands of "Sword Qi of Annihilation" clashed above their heads. The Dao of Annihilation, a powerful weapon capable of dominating the Yin God Realm, was "completely useless" in this battle. Aside from the sword qi clash, it was Xie Xuanyi's one-sided crushing victory! His Martial Dao Divine Embryo was clearly superior to the flying sword containing the "Dao Intent of White Paper"!

"Now that you've seen me, don't you have anything else to say?"

Xie Jia's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He was never one to talk much, but the other person was a complete madman!
If this fight continues, I might be beaten to death right here.

the most important is.

He never expected that he would be completely outmatched by Xie Xuanyi!
Before stepping into the Abyss, the Dao Lord had instructed him that if he encountered the main body, he should not engage in conflict, but simply escape and hide... He naturally took this instruction to heart, but who could have imagined that things would turn out this way after just one encounter!

"..."

The scene froze for a moment.

"Have."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "But I've decided to kill you... and then slowly 'search your soul'."

There are so many things he wants to know.

How exactly was Xie's leave fabricated?

What happened ten years ago?
What happened tonight?
Is the memory I lost in Xie Jia Shenhai?
Xie Xuanyi knew very well that Xie Jia would never provide the answers he sought… and even if he did speak, he wouldn't be trusted. This was a pawn personally cultivated by Lu Yuzhen; its purpose was to guide the course of this underground chess game… perhaps this very meeting was also part of Lu Yuzhen's plan? The Bai Ze Secret Tomb would constantly change location, and since the two had entered the underground together, they were bound to meet sooner or later.

Think about this.

Xie Xuanyi continued to throw punches!
boom!
Countless paper snowflakes were shattered by the divine embryo's punch.

This punch landed on Xie Jia's chest, sending him flying!
Xie Jia groaned and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood, falling heavily to the ground. He leaned on his longsword and swayed as he stood up.

Looking at the majestic and solemn golden divine embryo in front of me.

Xie Jia grinned, his voice hoarse, and said, "It seems you're determined to kill me..."

Xie Xuanyi remained expressionless.

He silently clenched his fist, preparing to strike again.

"You can kill me."

Xie Jia said self-deprecatingly, "But you should know... even if the avatar of the blank sheet dies, the real body will not be affected."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

"You were lucky to win this battle today. This blank avatar couldn't unleash my true power..."

Xie Jia stretched out his palm and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand.

He said coldly, "If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. I have nothing to say."

"only……"

After a brief pause, Xie Jia asked quietly, "If you kill me here... who will believe you are innocent?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi squinted at the man in black before him, lost in thought.

At this moment.

A sudden rumbling sound came from above.

As a roaring sound arose, the secret palace located at the beginning of the mountain path began to tremble, and the surrounding void began to tremble as well.

The void array of Bai Ze's secret tomb has been activated once again!
