Embers of Sword

Chapter 665 Red Carp
Wu Jiu's premonition was correct.

The sky above Jinli Mountain did indeed change color, with countless streams of blood gushing out and staining the sky red.

This blood is all demon blood.

Under the siege of flying swords, golden threads, and Taoist magic—

The Crimson Emperor forcibly unleashed his innate demonic form, and his shout, filled with endless humiliation, echoed above the sky for a radius of ten miles.

"Kakaka!"

A massive figure appeared out of thin air, causing the golden wire cage to shatter.

It was a large fish, its body covered with iron scales that looked like red jade.

Its spine is like a mountain, with thousands of sharp bony spikes growing horizontally, and its tail is forked like a dragon!

The Crimson Carp Dragon Lord unfurled its demonic form, attempting to forcefully open the "Golden Thread Cage." The scholar in green robes standing deep within the clouds let out a muffled groan. Chen Jingxuan clasped his hands together, and the golden threads in his sleeves creaked under the strain. This demonic body was truly too magnificent; the Golden Thread Cage was instantly expanded to twice its original size... The Heavenly Fate Golden Threads were extremely resilient and did not break at first. They were tightly bound to the giant fish like silken strings, leaving white marks on its iron scales.

But the "demon body" of the Red Carp Dragon Lord is a full two hundred feet long!
He unleashed his demonic form.

That's when the thought of fighting to the death came to mind.

Xie Xuanyi's expression was solemn, and he was secretly alarmed... After the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord unfolded his demonic form, his control over the "Dao Domain" decreased, allowing his chronic illness to successfully cross the sea of ​​fire and strike the giant fish hard.

But this sword strike only produced a bright ring of sparks!
The scales of this [Red Carp]'s true form are too hard; even my chronic illness can't cut them!

the other side.

The Great Dao Treasure Techniques also encountered the same predicament.

Tang Fengshu's expression was grim. The many magical techniques she unleashed only produced bursts of light and fire when they struck the giant fish.

[Red Carp] twisted its demonic body, snapping the golden thread—

Then, with a whiplash, it slammed heavily into Chen Jingxuan, who was standing at the very back of the three!
The Red Carp Dragon Lord had already seen through it.

Among the "trio" that surrounded and killed him, the easiest target was not Xie Xuanyi, who was at the Yin God Realm.

Instead, it was this frail-looking scholar in a blue robe.

While the Taoist magic and flying sword attacks are certainly troublesome... it is this "golden cage" that has trapped me, making me unable to move. If I want to escape, the best course of action is to deal with this scholar in green first!
"retreat!"

Xie Xuanyi let out a low shout and charged out on his sword.

Chen Jingxuan must not be harmed under any circumstances.

He sent out a divine message, signaling Chen Jingxuan to abandon the golden thread cage.

"……pity."

The young national advisor was not a greedy person. After Chi Yu unleashed his demonic form, he knew that this battle could only go so far. Without the slightest hesitation, he retreated into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

boom! ! !
The red carp's tail swing is extremely powerful—

The hundred-foot-high clouds shattered in an instant, and the iron tail finally grazed past Chen Jingxuan's cheek. The scholar in the blue robe was already retreating very quickly, but he was still almost caught up.

Just as Chen Jingxuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, unease welled up in his heart once again.

Countless fireballs shot out from the void.

The Dao Domain of the Abyss suddenly coalesced before him.

Normally, when a great demon unleashes its innate demonic form, its physical strength increases dramatically. However, it inevitably loses control over the Dao Domain. This is a racial characteristic, and only a very few demon cultivators can overcome this innate deficiency through diligent cultivation.

In the battle at the Lotus Forbidden Land, Yuan Huang, even in her demon form, still perfectly controlled the [Path of All Beings].

The Crimson Carp Dragon Lord did not immediately use his Dao Domain to break free of the cage after unleashing his demonic form... in order to lull Chen Jingxuan into a false sense of security. After wagging his tail, he unleashed the [Abyss Sea] Dao Domain, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

"..."

Chen Jingxuan's pupils contracted slightly. Just as he was about to recall the golden thread in his sleeve, a figure in black appeared in time and resolutely blocked his way.

Boom boom boom boom!
All the Dao intent above the sea of ​​clouds was blocked by the sword energy.

The speed at which the chronic illness recedes is faster than that of the gold thread...

Xie Xuanyi raised his hands, unleashing the dual Daos of Life and Death. His Martial Divine Embryo assumed the same posture, lowering his shoulders and turning to the side, perfectly parrying and forcefully receiving all of Chi Ru's Dao intent.

After this fierce confrontation...

The familiar scene appeared, Xie Xuanyi's hands turned into bare white bones, but he felt no pain at all, he just turned around and looked at the frail scholar behind him.

"Are you alright?" Chen Jingxuan's lips twitched slightly.

"What could possibly be wrong with me..."

He lowered his eyes, sighed, and said with some concern, "Are you alright?"

"The Fountain of Immortality is not afraid of death."

Xie Xuanyi smiled nonchalantly, casually flicked his sleeves, and before the dust had even settled, the skeletal hand had already regained its lustrous jade-like color...

This exchange of attacks happened in the blink of an eye.

"He wants to escape!"

From the other side of the sea of ​​clouds, Tang Fengshu's stern shout rang out.

After unleashing his demonic form and breaking through the golden cage, the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord showed no intention of continuing the fight...

On the surface, he had the upper hand.

But in fact……

Having been surrounded and attacked by three people, Chi Yu was already injured.

He knew very well that if the fighting continued, he would be the one to die.

Regardless of the possibility of "Zhao Chunyang" arriving at any moment.

The sheer killing power displayed by this trio alone sent chills down Chi Ru's spine.

Despite having a higher cultivation level, he was unable to kill any of the three.

Once the "golden thread cage" is reshaped...

He will likely be surrounded and killed by these three human prodigies!

……

……

In a moment of distraction.

As the embers fell from the mountain pass, a whistling sound descended in layers.

Wu Jiu's pupils contracted. At this moment, he saw clearly the rapidly falling shadow, which was actually the true form of the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord!
A powerful demon at the fifth level of the Yang God realm was forced to reveal its true form—

The Crimson Carp Dragon Lord broke free of the golden thread cage, launched an attack, and hurriedly rushed down the mountain. He quickly shrank his demonic body, from two hundred feet to one hundred feet, and then to several tens of feet... When he fell into the volcano, the giant fish had shrunk tenfold, but even so, he still could not escape the lock of the flying sword.

A ray of golden light chased after them from the mountain pass, relentlessly slashing and hacking.

Dangdang Dangdang!
In the brief moments of its descent, the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord was slashed hundreds of times by the sword light—

In the end, he crashed into the molten lava like a boulder, creating a massive wave!
The flying sword ceased its pursuit. After the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord plunged into the sea of ​​fire, the golden thread shot straight out and disappeared within the mountain pass area.

"Crash."

The Crimson Dragon Lord, emerging from the sea of ​​fire, regained his human form. His original crimson armor was completely shattered, and his body was covered with long, thin, broken wounds.

"These sword wounds...how could this be!"

Wu Jiu couldn't believe it.

He had witnessed the flying sword chase.

Is Xie Xuanyi really a human being?
How could a mere Yin spirit injure the Crimson Carp Dragon Lord like this?!
"..."

Sitting on the throne, Jiang Huang did not speak, but a barely perceptible hint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes as she looked at the Crimson Emperor.

"Now is not the time to explain..."

The Crimson Carp Dragon Lord was pale. He gritted his teeth, completely disregarding his composure, and pressed his hand heavily onto the demonic script covering the wall.

A buzzing sound.

Countless brilliant golden lights emerged from the inner wall of Jinli Mountain.

The Crimson Carp Dragon Lord roared in a low voice, "Activate the grand formation! Return to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace immediately!"
