Embers of Sword

Chapter 697 Massacre of the City
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and an atmosphere of death permeated the air.

The entire city of Yusang was shrouded in an aura of malevolence!
Xie Xuanyi stood up from the billowing dust, his expression extremely grim.

The Three Saints of Yinshan appeared together, only to kill him alone?
This is quite a show of force... I am merely a Yin God, while these three are all beings who have one foot in the Yang God realm. Moreover, these three usually cherish their lives like gold, yet they dare to enter the Great Chu Dynasty in their true forms. Aren't they afraid of attracting the attention of the Yang Gods and suffering eternal damnation?

"How could this be?"

Jiang Miaoyin's expression also turned ugly when she saw the situation clearly.

In the past, although her intervention in cause and effect ultimately ended in failure, it never led to the appearance of the Three Saints together in Yusang City.

If the person who comes is of the level of the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.

At least there's still a chance to fight.

If you really can't beat them, you can still run away.

Rumble!
The giant snake raised its upper body, as large as a mountain, its narrow pupils fixed on the young man and woman not far away.

"Xie Xuanyi, as you face death, do you have any last words?"

The boy in white robes spoke, his voice booming like thunder.

Three soul banners hung high in the sky, like three black suns.

Countless ghosts emerged from the banners and wreaked havoc in the city.

The entire city of Yusang has been transformed into a living hell.

Jiang Qihu, who was originally keeping watch in front of the teahouse, was buried under layers of rubble and fell into a coma.

"If I die, this dream will reset, right?"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

He shielded Jiang Miaoyin behind him and asked with a smile, "If you die... won't this dream collapse and be destroyed?"

This question stunned Jiang Miaoyin.

"I have no idea……"

Jiang Miaoyin gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, "Logically speaking, all these illusions are formed from my 'heart tribulation.' If I can overcome the heart tribulation, all these falsehoods will naturally dissipate. If I die, perhaps... then this heart tribulation will have won..."

Over the years, there have been many cultivators who died during the Tribulation of Questioning the Heart.

When one's Daoist heart is shattered, one's spirit and soul perish.

These two events are very likely to happen one after the other.

"Then I understand."

Xie Xuanyi stretched out a hand and said seriously, "Next, I'll fight, you run away."

"...?"

Jiang Miaoyin was stunned.

next moment.

Xie Xuanyi unleashed a gentle force from his palm, which propelled Jiang Miaoyin hundreds of feet away.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, suddenly separated.

Xie Xuanyi took the initiative, stepping on sword energy to kill the Three Saints of Yinshan!
Their only goal is themselves.

While the three White Ghosts were indeed bloodthirsty, they were currently in the territory of Da Chu... They dared not easily provoke a powerful force like the Jiang family. As long as they left, Jiang Miaoyin should be safe!
"call……"

In a short moment, Xie Xuanyi let out a long sigh of relief and thought about many things.

Since this is all just a dream, why should I care so much?
The path of life has no chance of reaching the condensation realm.

Let's go all out and have a big battle!
With this thought arising, Xie Xuanyi no longer suppressed the growth of the "Destruction Dao Realm," instantly allowing it to condense into a perfect embryonic Great Dao!

"I underestimated you before... You've got guts!"

See this scene.

Chi Xian couldn't help but sneer. He grabbed the Soul-Striking Banner and immediately swooped down, colliding with Xie Xuanyi.

The Three Saints are at a level that has already surpassed the Yin Gods!

Even those who have reached the "Great Perfection of Yin Spirit Realm" in the secular sense are no match for them!

With the help of the broken Dao stele in the southern border, Chi Xian has already condensed the "embryo of the Great Dao", and is only one step away from proving the Dao and ascending to the mountain peak!
"kill!"

A sharp shout.

The soul-striking banner unleashed a torrent of murderous intent.

Chi Xian used the banner as a spear and thrust it out heavily. In his opinion, no matter how powerful or talented Xie Xuanyi was, he was just a Yin God... He only needed one strike to seriously injure the latter!
"珰!!!"

The sound of metal clashing could be clearly heard for miles around.

This strike... The flying sword clashed with the soul banner, unleashing billions of golden rays of light. The dark clouds overhead were shattered, and countless streams of dark, malevolent energy were pulverized by the shockwave!

"So strong?!"

Chi Xian stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The man surnamed Xie actually took a bullet from me and didn't lose a single point!

He stepped into the void and involuntarily retreated dozens of steps, with each step causing the void to tremble.

The soul-slaying banner hummed loudly.

Chi Xian lowered his head and looked at the area between his thumb and forefinger. With just one strike, his thumb and forefinger were numb and sore, and somewhat out of control...

Dozens of thin, snake-like strands of pitch-black Dao Realm power followed the wound, eroding his flesh and blood.

"This is... a nascent form of the Path of Annihilation?"

I only glanced at it.

A sense of fear welled up in Chi Xian's heart.

"Damn it! This kid has actually condensed a 'nascent Great Dao'!"

He turned his head, about to speak.

The second wisp of deadly sword energy had already arrived.

Xie Xuanyi didn't give Chi Xian a chance to communicate telepathically; after one sword strike, he struck again!
Chi Xian had no choice but to grit his teeth and unleash the Soul-Striking Banner with all his might to withstand the attack.

Before the Dao of Annihilation condensed into a nascent embryo, Xie Xuanyi's strength was only at the "Great Perfection of Yin God". Facing the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers who had unleashed Ye Zu's trump card, he was still somewhat troubled.

now.

Xie Xuanyi's strength has already surpassed that of the Yin God.

Like Bai Gui, Chi Xian, and Qing Xiao, he stood at the half-step Yang Shen realm, and with just one step, he could reach the summit!

"puff!"

This time, Chi Xian was struck by the sword light, and the Soul-Striking Banner was powerless to resist. He was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood.

They retreated a full hundred feet.

Chi Xian struggled to steady himself, his face as pale as a dead man, his shoulder pierced by the sword light, and blood gushing out.

These two sword strikes occurred in the blink of an eye.

"Something's not right... Let's attack together!"

The white ghost sensed something was wrong and immediately began to use evil magic.

Of the three black suns, one had already been severely damaged and was on the verge of collapse.

The three saints joined forces to unleash the Myriad Souls Formation.

boom! boom! boom!
The entire city of Yusang was shrouded in dark, malevolent energy, and a towering barrier, hundreds of feet high, rose from the ground.

The citizens of Yusang City, trapped within the Black Fiend Barrier, looked up, their eyes filled with despair... The sky was shrouded in fiendish energy, the sun and moon were dimmed, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

This is to refine the entire city of Yusang!

Although Yusang City is small, it contains thousands of living beings... The severity of this act is comparable to the "Carp Tide City Tide Festival"!
"This is Da Chu..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at this scene and said coldly, "Are you all crazy?"

"What kind of talk is that? We're crazy."

Qingxiao chuckled and said quietly, "Of course... there's a reason why we dare to do this."

Xie Xuanyi knew.

The Renshou Palace was the one that supported the three emperors.

Under heaven, all land belongs to the king.

This city of Yusang... in the end, is nothing more than a grain of sand in the Empress's palm.

"Just to kill me?"

Xie Xuanyi looked down at himself and couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

The Great Array of Ten Thousand Souls has been set in motion, and the lives of the people of Yusang City are in turmoil, all depending on the three saints' decisions.

"Just to kill you."

Bai Gui raised his palm and said expressionlessly, "Xie Xuanyi, you must remember... all the living beings in this city died because of you."
