Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 34 The Incarnation of Xuan Yin
Divine Eye Celestial Venerable never expected that the enemy would be so powerful, almost making it impossible for him to control the Black Fiend Sword.

He hurriedly exhaled several breaths of true energy, urging the black energy on his sword to surge again in an attempt to counterattack. In a fleeting glance, he saw the green-robed Taoist woman on the distant mountain peak and knew that she was the one who had ambushed him. He cursed angrily and summoned the black energy stone to strike her again.

Hua Yaosong had already tested his strength with his first sword strike. With a slight sway of his left-hand sword technique, he reversed the sword's momentum and flung out a nearly transparent, cold sword beam a hundred feet away, accurately slicing the black evil stone that was hitting him in two. The main body of the immortal sword continued to slash forward.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Hua Yaosong used a sword to press down on Shenmu Tianzun, and the two swords clashed dozens of times in an instant.

The black sword finally succumbed to its strain, its black aura completely dissipated, and its body broke into dozens of pieces, falling as scrap metal.

Terrified, the Celestial Venerable Shenmu desperately waved his last life-saving Xuan Yin Beast Gathering Banner and fled in panic toward Lingyu Cliff, shouting as he ran: "Master, save me! Master, save me!"

Before he could shout twice, Hua Yaosong's flying sword caught up from behind and pierced straight into the protective aura released by the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner.

Wherever it passed, the main god Muba, along with its two auxiliary souls, were all torn apart.

Although Hua Yaosong could not see what was inside the black cloud of evil energy that was about an acre in size, her divine sense was still firmly locked onto the Divine Eye Celestial Venerable. With a sword, she flew straight to behead him, her momentum unstoppable!
Fortunately, the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner could shift the five elements and distort space. Although it was not set up in a complete array, the fifth-rank divine banner could still shift the space within a small area.

The sword had already locked onto Shenmu Tianzun's neck. Just as it was about to strike, Shenmu Tianzun was suddenly teleported five feet away, narrowly escaping death. However, his right ear was slashed by the sword energy, and blood flowed freely.

Hua Yaosong was slightly taken aback when he failed to kill him with a single sword strike. He then changed his sword technique, manipulating the immortal sword to spin back and cleave it diagonally in two.

The hairs on Shenmu Tianzun's body stood on end. He barely managed to hold on with the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner before his left arm was severed at the elbow by a flying sword.

He cried out in pain, unable to fly back to Lingyu Cliff in time, and could only plummet rapidly halfway down, shouting loudly as he fell: "Master, save me! Master, save me! Master, save me!"

Using the blood flowing from his elbow, he used the Blood Light Escape Technique to quickly land on the ground. Seeing the flying sword chasing after him, it was too late to escape by staying close to the ground. In an instant, he was about to be cleaved in two.

In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open, revealing a fissure more than ten feet long and one foot wide, from which thick black smoke billowed out.

Three Xuan Yin Divine Thunderbolts shot out in quick succession from the black smoke, striking Hua Yaosong's flying sword. They crackled and exploded rapidly. The first thunderbolt shattered the spiritual light on the sword, the second thunderbolt dispersed the essence of Hua Yaosong that was attached to the sword, and the third thunderbolt sent the sword flying into the sky!

"The demon corpse has emerged!"

Hua Yaosong felt a chill run down her spine. She exhaled a breath of vital energy, causing the immortal sword, which had already soared into the clouds, to shine brightly again and, under her control, pierce the cave once more.

At this moment, the Celestial Venerable of Divine Eyes had already entered the cave. Several sword lights flew out from the black smoke, followed by Ku Tie, Lin Rui, and Cui Haike flying out at the same time, using flying swords and hooks to block her sword.

The black smoke gushing from the cave quickly condensed into a giant over ten zhang tall, with a head full of long black hair of varying thickness, which automatically raised its head and swayed like a venomous snake.

This giant looked exactly like Guan Minghui, wearing a robe made of black mist. The wide hem of the robe fluttered in the wind, revealing shapes of mountain demons, wood demons, tigers, bears, and other creatures, all roaring at Hua Yaosong.

"What a monster!"

Hua Yaosong was shocked. Although the divination showed signs that the demon corpse had been resurrected and was cultivating day and night, gathering followers and growing in power.

But she never expected that she had cultivated to such a level. Not to mention her, even Cui Haike, Yang Li, Ku Tie, Lin Rui and others who had been with Guan Minghui day and night in the cave were dumbfounded.

After the black giant took shape, it did not pause for a moment, and launched an attack on Hua Yaosong with its hands forming hand seals.

First, a stream of dark, cold flame shot out, shooting straight towards the mountain peak dozens of miles away, where Hua Yaosong was located.

Then, with a series of swift movements, one right hand was severed at the wrist, transforming into a giant hand about an acre in size, which flew through the air and grabbed down towards Hua Yaosong's head.

At the same time, his left hand unleashed a series of Xuan Yin Divine Thunders.

Hua Yaosong hurriedly recalled her flying sword. At the same time, a green cloud rose from beneath her feet, and she soared into the air. The cold flames struck her feet and scattered on a mountaintop, burning at least a dozen acres of vegetation, turning them into cold white ashes in an instant.

As she ascended into the air, she faced the massive black hand reaching down from above and swung the iron staff in her hand.

The top of the cane was a dragon head. At this moment, the dragon opened its mouth and sprayed a green cloud into the sky, within which were hidden thousands of extremely fine flying needles.

The green cloud surged up and collided with the giant hand, its contents flying like needles, instantly shattering the black demon hand into a cloud of black smoke.

Faced with the Xuan Yin Divine Thunder unleashed by Guan Minghui, she again offered up the green pouch hanging on her cane in the air. The pouch was turned upside down, and a wisp of green smoke shot out from it, flying towards the Xuan Yin Divine Thunder. It then rolled up in mid-air and returned to the pouch.

The Xuan Yin Divine Thunder failed to explode and instead returned to five bean-sized thunder pearls that fell into the green pouch.

In this exchange, Guan Minghui launched a rapid attack, which Hua Yaosong swiftly countered, completing the exchange in the blink of an eye.

Hua Yaosong broke through the Black Fiend God's Claw, withdrew the Profound Yin Divine Thunder, and pointed a finger, urging the Green Cloud to carry the boundless flying needles inside to attack the Black Fiend Giant.

However, the giant did not need him to attack; it melted like a snowman, reverting to a large amount of black malevolent energy, which was then drawn back into the ground through the cracks in the earth.

When she flew over, not only was the giant gone, but Ku Tie and the others also retreated underground, and even the crack in the ground had healed and disappeared.

The trees and plants still stood tall and lush, not a patch of soil was visible, as if nothing had happened. Only the wisps of black smoke in the air proved that everything that had just happened was real.

"This monster..." Hua Yaosong felt a little unsure, wondering if she could handle him. "No wonder he was once a powerful figure in the unorthodox path who was an enemy of Master Changmei and Master Jile!"

As for Guan Minghui, he used the Xuan Yin Earth-Splitting Technique to split the ground open, saving Shenmu Tianzun, and also briefly fought with Hua Yaosong.

Although it was brief, it allowed him to roughly gauge the opponent's strength. He was indeed a formidable adversary, and his Xuan Yin avatar, formed from the Black Omen Earthly Fiend, would inevitably be shattered if the fight continued.

After all, that wasn't a true incarnation of the Three Corpses, and it hadn't even completed the preliminary Three Corpses Primordial Spirit. It was already quite good that it had achieved what it had today.

Shenmu Tianzun had one arm severed, and his ribs were burned by the Samadhi True Fire, leaving large holes in his flesh and even exposing his liver.

He was also a sensible person. He still used one arm to present the stone slab that he had retrieved from Tiancan Ridge to Guan Minghui: "Master, your disciple is incompetent. This thing was almost taken away by the enemy. Thanks to your great fortune, Master, you managed to bring it back intact!"
