Embers of Sword

Chapter 694 A perfect match
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless sword energies shot up from the ground!

"Damn it...it's really a burning flower!"

Jiang Qihu stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief. This bastard surnamed Xie had actually gotten hold of Hundred Flowers Valley's trump card sword technique!
Leaves shattered!

Sword energy rippled outwards!

The disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley were all horrified when this sword was unleashed.

Burning Flowers... This is the strongest sword move of Hundred Flowers Valley, Burning Flowers!

With just one sword strike, the combined sword formation was shattered. It is said that Xie Xuanyi was invincible on his way north, defeating many opponents, all thanks to this sword move!
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers snorted coldly. He was swept away by the immense force and flew backward uncontrollably. But the next moment, he slammed his toes into the ground, readjusted his posture, and attacked Xie Xuanyi with his sword!

If there was still a slight possibility that the contents of the previous golden slip were forged, now that Xie Xuanyi has witnessed the Burning Flower technique, the fact that he stole it is an undeniable fact.

"kill!"

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers struck again with his sword.

She unleashed her sword energy and slashed horizontally.

Xie Xuanyi raised two fingers and used his divine sense to control the sword energy. Countless blades of grass shot out from the ground and instantly transformed into a cage, trapping the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers inside.

Xie Xuanyi did not use excessive force.

Putting aside the past relationship between Ye Qinglian and himself, Hundred Flowers Valley and Sword Palace have always had a good relationship.

Of course... there's another reason.

Xie Xuanyi's divine sense had already swept over the Hundred Flowers Valley sword formation. Looking at the figures of those young disciples, his heart trembled, and he inexplicably thought of "Yuan Yi"... In this life, Yuan Yi should still be a little girl who is just learning to speak, and has not yet had the chance to become a disciple of the valley.

"Valley Master, must we fight?"

Xie Xuanyi pulled Jiang Qihu back and said in a low voice, "The matter of Burning Flower... cannot be explained in a few words. This sword move was personally taught by Ancestor Ye."

He felt somewhat helpless and chose to tell the truth.

"absurd!"

Upon hearing this, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers couldn't help but sneer: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Even she, Ye Zu, had not taught her this sword technique.

Xie Xuanyi, a disciple of the Sword Palace, was given the opportunity to cultivate.

Absolutely absurd!

"..."

Xie Xuanyi had no choice but to remain silent.

That's truly absurd.

Sometimes, the person who tells the truth is not believed.

Wow!
As the Burning Flower Sword Intent spread, countless withered leaves and grass clippings condensed in mid-air, transforming into a cage that trapped the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers within!
The latter unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, shattering the cage which immediately reformed.

"retreat."

Seeing this, Xie Xuanyi grabbed Jiang Qihu's shoulder, preparing to leave this place of trouble.

next moment.

A sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers stopped smashing her sword and stood still in mid-air. She flipped her wrist, and a red leaf slowly floated out from her sleeve.

These red leaves...

It looks very familiar.

"Oops."

Xie Xuanyi's heart sank.

This red leaf was clearly made by Ye Zu!

At this moment, Ye Zu should be "younger" than Ye Zu during the Southern Frontier Demon-Slaying period, and his strength should be more fully preserved!

Do you think you're the only one in the world who can use 'Burning Flowers'?

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers calmly said, "Xie Xuanyi...you cannot escape today!"

The voice fell.

She threw that red leaf.

This was actually just an ordinary fallen leaf, but because it contained the will of the Yang God, after it flew out, it began to unfold the Great Dao and evolve its artistic conception. The withered leaves that were drawn by Xie Xuanyi's sword energy seemed to sense the call of their new master at this moment, and they reformed their form in the air—

The "Burning Flower Cage" that imprisoned the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers shattered amidst violent shaking. Then...

An almost identical cage rose from the ground, trapping Xie Xuanyi inside.

"This is... Ye Zu's 'Burning Flower'!"

Jiang Qihu recognized the red leaf, and his expression turned pale.

Although this sword strike had no killing intent, the pressure was immense, and the entire deep forest was suppressed by the powerful sword energy.

Xie Xuanyi acted decisively, drawing out his lingering illness, and slashed fiercely at the cage of withered leaves—

珰!
A crisp sound!
Metal clashed, sparks flew!
This sword strike was extremely powerful and contained the Dao of Annihilation, but when it struck the "Red Leaf Sword Qi Cage" gifted by Ancestor Ye, it only caused minor damage and did not affect the foundation.

"Form ranks again!"

Upon seeing this, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers gave a low, stern shout, and all the disciples quickly returned to their positions.

The withered leaves tumbled and the wind howled!
Streaks of green light shone through the forest.

A magnificent and vast sword formation was rapidly formed within a few breaths!
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers raised his hands, and a sharp longsword formed from withered leaves and primordial energy slowly emerged from the void, its tip aimed at Xie Xuanyi, who was trapped in the red leaf cage...

Xie Xuanyi's expression turned serious.

Ye Zu's "burning flowers" trapped him.

The next sword strike was extremely powerful and impossible to dodge.

He no longer possesses the "Martial Arts Divine Embryo" or the "Fountain of Immortality," so if he were to try to withstand the attack head-on, he would likely suffer serious injuries.

珰!
With a heavy, forceful strike aimed at the red leaves cage, he delivered a second blow.

It was still bursting with golden light.

However, this time, part of the cage was clearly destroyed!

The Dao of Annihilation is indeed powerful enough... If I could strike a few more times, I should be able to break this cage.

It is a pity.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers didn't give Xie Xuanyi that chance at all.

"go with!"

Accompanied by a low drink.

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers pressed down with both hands, and the long sword formed by the sword formation shot out instantly, turning into a long rainbow that crashed into the red leaf cage.

Rumble!
Jiang Qihu looked conflicted and closed his eyes in pain.

Xie Xuanyi gripped the heavy, ailment tightly.

Just as he was preparing to unleash his third strike with all his might, attempting a desperate last stand, the flying sword suddenly twitched slightly, as if sensing something.

Xie Xuanyi turned his head sharply, staring intently at the source of the scorching sword light.

"Wow!"

The void suddenly shattered, and a snow-white figure appeared without warning.

Leaves fluttered and danced in the air.

The snow-white figure was so beautiful, like a celestial being descending to earth, that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

The silk gauze fluttered, radiating the glow of the bright moon.

The figure moved with the grace of a startled swan, lightly touching the ground with its toes, and stood before the crimson leaves. A snow-white flying sword, wrapped in long sleeves, merged with the ailment at that moment.

"elder sister!"

Jiang Qihu smelled a familiar scent, and at the critical moment opened his eyes, speaking in disbelief with a voice full of excitement.

The visitor was none other than Jiang Miaoyin.

That snow-white flying sword, naturally, was the chronic problem...

Chronic illness, deep-seated disease.

The two flying swords were originally a pair.

When combined perfectly, their power more than doubles.
"Boom!"

Xie Xuanyi no longer hesitated. He directly controlled the sword light and forcefully hammered down on the red leaf cage. His movements were savage, brutal, simple, and powerful, just like a blacksmith hammering a sword blank!
The sound of sword energy striking metal echoed throughout the entire forest!
The sword fell!
The seemingly indestructible cage of red leaves exploded instantly!
