Embers of Sword

Chapter 682 Gathering
Barren ridge, mountaintop.

The eroded waterfall slowly dissipated.

The combined attack of the eighteen dark figures condensed into a terrifying vortex in the air—

This power was truly too strong, and it exuded a demonic aura.

This is why Cui Zhen cut off his arm and ran away. This attack will immediately attract the attention of the Great Sui Sword Palace.

really.

In less than ten breaths.

Then the sound of sword energy whistling echoed above the desolate ridge, and it was not just one person who crossed the void to come.

The Master of Laws and the Mirror of Words set off together and arrived together.

When the two arrived at the desolate ridge, the "vortex" formed by the eighteen dark shadows had already dissipated... The attack was over, and under the sweeping force of the powerful demonic energy, all the trees within a hundred feet were destroyed. This terrifying attack almost erased and covered up the traces of the battle between Xie Xuanyi and Luo Hai.

"It's a demon."

Ci Jing's expression was gloomy as he stared intently at the center of the desolate ridge shrouded in a dark aura.

"That blow...was very heavy."

"Did Luo Hai make it?"

Zhao Tongtian frowned, subconsciously thinking of Luo Hai.

Previously, Luo Hai appeared as the young master of the One Blade Sect, inviting Xie Xuanyi to leave the mountain gate for another battle... Zhao Tongtian did not take it to heart. In his opinion, Xie Xuanyi's strength was already above Luo Hai's, and there was no need to think too much about the two fighting.

After all, the young master of the One Blade Sect had already admitted defeat at the Lotus Dojo, so there was absolutely no need for him to resort to underhanded tactics and attempt an assassination near the Sword Palace. Not only would the success rate be low, but it would also severely damage his reputation.

The idea had barely surfaced when he immediately rejected it himself.

If the One Blade Sect truly wanted to assassinate Xie Xuanyi, they would never have used such methods; it would have been too dangerous and foolish.

"This attack... seems to be aimed at the 'Divine Sea'?"

Ci Jing stared at the Yin energy for a moment, then stroked his chin and spoke.

The destruction of trees on the barren hills is nothing compared to the damage done to the forests.

Xie Xuanyi is different from ordinary sword cultivators. His physical body is extremely strong. This level of attack should not be able to damage his body. Most importantly, this guy has the Fountain of Immortality, which can even withstand Chongkan's killing move.

"Shenhai?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tongtian's heart skipped a beat.

In his view, Xie Xuanyi's weakest point should be his Divine Sea.

Although all disciples of the Sword Palace must cultivate their divine soul...

But those extremely tricky attacks from the Divine Sea are even harder to resist than physical attacks!

As the two were talking, suddenly a loud boom was heard, and a powerful force surged up and exploded in all directions. The wisps of ink in the sky above the desolate ridge were wiped away by the golden sword energy.

Dressed in black, he stood in the eye of the storm.

The smoke cleared.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and spoke through telepathy, taking the initiative to greet them: "Master of Laws, Mirror Reaper... you've arrived?"

"This kid... doesn't seem to be injured?"

Ci Jing frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Such a massive attack from the Divine Sea.

Xie Xuanyi... seemed to have suffered no injuries whatsoever.

what's the situation?
Whoosh!
Zhang Lu quickly fell down, reaching out his palm to touch Xie Xuanyi's forehead.

"Master of Laws, I..."

Xie Xuanyi was somewhat helpless, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the palm strike.

Zhao Tongtian unleashed his divine sense, scanning Xie Xuanyi's body back and forth.

"Are you okay?"

Zhao Tongtian's expression turned strange.

"Do... I need something done?"

Xie Xuanyi was both amused and exasperated.

The attack Cui Zhen unleashed before his departure was truly extraordinary.

Each of the eighteen feathers originated from a top-tier demon... Before their deaths, the sages and venerables of the human race could inscribe their spiritual will into a stone tablet to complete their legacy. The same was true on the demon kingdom's side; the demonic runes tracing the feather fan should be the talisman array linking the spirits and souls of the eighteen great demons.

The power unleashed by this feather fan is enough to launch a sneak attack on an unsuspecting Yang God Realm expert.

Once trapped by the feather fan.

He would then have to endure the infusion of demonic thoughts from the eighteen ancient sages of the demon kingdom...

Xie Xuanyi could rival and fight against Yang Gods, but ultimately he was only at the Yin God realm.

His physical physique, the strength of his divine sea, and his comprehension of the Dao were all only at the "Yin God Realm".

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to withstand that terrifying blow under any circumstances.

Cui Zhen unleashed his feather fan, intending to annihilate the top genius of the human race right there... However, he had a premonition that although this attack was powerful, it might not be enough to take Xie Xuanyi's life. Therefore, before leaving, he left a message to fight again in the demon kingdom.

Unfortunately.

Cui Zhen probably never imagined that this extravagant attack would ultimately fail to harm Xie Xuanyi in the slightest. This was because of the [Yuan Tun Sacred Realm].

Xie Xuanyi is immune to all attacks on the soul...

Not to mention the feather fan that Cui Zhen used, even if the Holy Empress at her peak were to clash with him using her soul, Xie Xuanyi would not suffer the slightest damage.

His divine sea is constantly under the protection and shroud of the [Primordial Devouring Sacred Realm].

To destroy Xie Xuanyi's divine sea, we must first break through the [Yuan Tun Sacred Realm].

Destroying a grotto-heaven world with complete rules... perhaps only a true immortal could accomplish that.

……

……

After a while.

The desolate ridge was protected by the law master himself who set up an array.

A bright green gate appeared in the sky above the desolate ridge. Chen Jingxuan, who was in the imperial city, rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Xie Xuanyi slowly recounted what had just happened.

"You mean, that guy who was at the Yin God Realm and fought you to a standstill just now was named Cui Zhen..."

Chen Jingxuan listened silently, his expression solemn.

Cui Zhen and Mo Zhen differ by only one character.

Anyone who isn't an idiot can guess the connection between the two.

"Yes, this is his portrait."

Xie Xuanyi flicked his sleeve and used sword energy to recreate Cui Zhen's appearance. It was an extremely handsome face that was unforgettable.

"This person seems a bit different from the Mo Zhen I remember..."

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Lu frowned as he examined the portrait. He spoke in a deep voice, "I have met Mo Zhen. Although the two have similar features, their temperaments are quite different."

Say it.

The master of law also waved his sleeve, using his divine will to create a portrait.

During the battle of drinking poison, the Chief Law Enforcer had seen Mo Zhen from afar once...

In the portrait he painted, the features of the person in the painting were still perfect, but there was an extra three parts contempt and seven parts domineering in his eyes.

In comparison, "Cui Zhen" appears much more feminine.

"How can a reincarnated cultivator be exactly the same as their previous life?"

Ci Jing squinted at him for a long time, then said jokingly, "Isn't this guy cultivating the 'Path of Yin Erosion'? This path should have a great influence on cultivators... I think this 'Cui Zhen' probably eroded himself first, so that he could fight Xiao Xie like this in the Yin God Realm."

"..."

Whether these words were sarcastic or genuine praise, Xie Xuanyi had nothing to say.

However, Ci Jing did not mean to satirize Xie Xuanyi.

Of course he knew how dangerous the Ink Poison was.

This was once the number one cultivator in the Demon Kingdom!

However, in Suzaku's heart, Xie Xuanyi was the only one who was the strongest in the Yin God Realm.

The battle at Yunhai.

Ci Jing was truly impressed.

In his view, even if Zhao Chunyang came and cultivated again to return to the Yin God Realm, he would still find it difficult to become a match for Xiao Xie.

While several people were talking.

A hearty laugh suddenly rang out from the far end of the desolate mountain range, which was shrouded by the Grand Law Array.

"Gentlemen, what a lively scene!"

At the end of the sword energy array, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

The figure was dressed in a blue robe, with a wine gourd at his waist. His clothes were slightly damp, and his eyes held a hint of drunkenness.

The layers of sword energy laid out by Zhang Lu swept around the desolate ridge, extremely imposing, but it could not stop him. In just two or three steps, the newcomer arrived in front of everyone.

A wisp of sword energy struck his shoulder and was bounced away.

Able to deflect palm strikes with bare body...

Only martial artists at the Yang Shen realm.

There are only a handful of martial artists in this world who have reached the Yang God Realm.

The visitor's identity is obvious.

"My wife asked me to come to the Sword Palace today to see what's going on..."

The slightly tipsy Lord of Forget-Worry Island chuckled, "Duan, am I a little late?"

……

……

(There will be more tomorrow at noon.)
