A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

The sea of ​​clouds churned, and Hong Xixiang patted the Yellow Crane.

The giant yellow crane let out a strange cry and then carried the woman in red into the sky.

"Hong Xixiang, I'm waiting for you."

Xu Zhihu called out reluctantly as he left.

The Wudang Taoist priest smiled and nodded.

This can be considered an agreement between them.

He then tucked his hands into his embroidered robe, his breathing synchronized with the heavens and earth, as if his entire being had merged into the world.

The ancient sword on his back sensed its master's fighting spirit, and a sword cry rang out. The young Taoist priest, who had been wearing a gentle smile, now revealed his killing intent.

This time, he was going to make a move, not only to save Xu Fengnian, but also for that red dress.

"Hong Xixiang, fight me and cut off her path to ascension. Are you willing to bet?"

Ye Yun glanced casually at Xu Fengnian, who was receiving the power of the Three Incarnations Dharma Body not far behind him.

Even if you invite the Dharma bodies of the three lifetimes, at best they are just celestial beings on land.

"Give it a try!"

Hong Xixiang made a hand seal with his right hand, and three ancient copper coins flew out from his sleeve. The copper coins emitted a scorching power, and the three forces instantly entered his body.

An unprecedented aura emanated from Hong Xixiang, surpassing even the highest-ranking Celestial Being.

As for what level it was, even Ye Yun wasn't quite sure.

Ye Yun gave a wry smile: "Is it that simple?"

There were no earth-shattering phenomena; instead, it was as if Hong Xixiang simply pushed open a door and reached the highest realm in the human world.

"Ye Yun...take this sword!"

Hong Xixiang murmured something, and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

A terrifying sword light suddenly descended upon Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was already prepared; his two natal flying swords had surrounded him, forming a sword energy barrier.

Ye Yun frowned deeply; this sword strike was far more powerful than before.

But so what?

If you are a celestial being, then slay a celestial being.

If you are above the heavens, then I will cut you down with one sword.

The two forces of swordsmanship finally collided.

The city of Dunhuang, where they were located, trembled as if it were about to crack open.

"The Black Tortoise will rise to power!"

Another sword strike, enough to cleave mountains and cut through water.

It clashed with that crimson longsword.

A clash between an ancient sword and a spiritual sword.

Those with weaker cultivation levels had already retreated more than ten miles away.

The shockwave swept for ten miles, and the city wall of Dunhuang was severed by two sword energies, one in front and one behind, leaving deep, bottomless sword marks on the ground.

"So, this is Lu Zu's sword."

Li Chungang's eyes were filled with excitement; it turned out that his defeat back then was not unjust.

Who would have thought that Qi Xuanzhen was the reincarnation of Lü Zu?

That was the previous life of the Taoist priest in front of us.

Cao Changqing, who had been cultivating his domineering ways for some time, made Ye Yun more worried.

If Ye Yun loses.

The restoration of Western Chu will likely face numerous difficulties.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. Countless innocent people in Dunhuang City were affected by the battle between the two.

Ye Yun's ears twitched, and he heard the cries of pain from many people.

"Hong Xixiang, do you and I dare to fight in the heavens?"

"Can!"

Hong Xixiang naturally realized that this was the result of the sins committed by the two of them.

This only added a touch of surprise to Hong Xixiang's heart. He never expected that Ye Yun, a god of war, would feel compassion for the people below the mountain.

Above the sea of ​​clouds.

Two figures stood in mid-air.

Opposite Ye Yun was Hong Xixiang, dressed in a wide Taoist robe, standing on an ancient sword, with a completely indifferent expression.

"Ye Yun, your strength is no less than mine. Why not give up on killing Xu Fengnian? The way of Heaven is in motion, and the Xu family has its own reason for existence. For both public and private reasons, I will stop you."

Even if you win a battle against me, your path in martial arts will likely be cut off. Why take such a risk?

When Hong Xixiang saw Ye Yun's compassion just now, he realized that this decisive and ruthless man was not without any pity for humanity.

"The Way of Heaven?"

"Following the natural order leads to immortality, while going against it leads to mortal life. This is your pursuit. Hong Xixiang, you cultivate the Heavenly Way. Can you calculate the Dao?"

I, Ye Yun, disrespect heaven and earth, and do not believe in sin, fortune, cause and effect, or the cycle of reincarnation. With the long sword in my hand, I can cut them all down with a single stroke.

Ye Yun's crimson sword was pointed at Hong Xixiang.

If it's war, then let's fight.

Helpless, Hong Xixiang transformed his finger into a sword, and a faint blue light emanated from the ancient sword.

The sword was thrust out, seemingly incredibly slowly, but in reality, it had already stirred up the space around it.

Ding!

The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Ye Yun, along with his sword, was knocked back dozens of feet, splitting the clouds in two.

As expected, Hong Xixiang, who possessed the power of the three sages, was not someone that a terrestrial celestial being could easily provoke.

If Ye Yun hadn't possessed a strong enough physique, that sword strike would have severely injured him.

Hong Xixiang gave Ye Yun no chance. His figure changed again, and the ancient sword came again, with a sword cry echoing in the air.

With a thought, Ye Yun's two natal flying swords, with their strangling force, continuously clashed with the ancient sword controlled by Hong Xixiang, producing the sound of metal clashing.

"What a sharp natal flying sword."

Hong Xixiang noticed that his ancient sword actually felt broken.

In an instant.

Hong Xixiang used his finger as a sword, and a soaring sword aura rose up, pointing directly at Ye Yun. This sword intent was extremely profound, merging with the Dao, and a crack appeared between heaven and earth.

This sword light was aimed directly at Ye Yun's primordial spirit.

Ye Yun came to his senses.

At that moment, it seemed as if space and time had frozen.

If a third person were here, they would see that Hong Xixiang was pointing his finger at Ye Yun's brow with his sword, and the two remained motionless in that position.

Primordial Spirit Space.

Hong Xixiang stepped into the depths of Ye Yun's sea of ​​consciousness and discovered that within the vast sea of ​​consciousness, there was actually an ancient sword of the heavens, radiating an incomparably scorching sword intent that could melt everything.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy?! How is that possible?"

Hong Xixiang exclaimed in unprecedented surprise.

How can this world withstand the power of the Legend of Sword and Fairy?

A red figure appeared behind Hong Xixiang: "Hong Xixiang, do you dare to kill me?"

"Ye Yun, who exactly are you?"

Hong Xixiang is actually Lü Zu now, just in a different guise. He has confirmed that Ye Yun is not from this place.

But he knew that in that vast world, there were only a few immortal swords, and each of their owners was an unparalleled powerhouse.

He had never heard of the immortal sword before him.

"You're right, I can't kill you. Even if I did, the power of the immortal sword would be out of control and might completely pierce through this world."

"Ye Yun, since you are capable of ascending to immortality, why do you remain in the mortal realm? Xu Fengnian is the reincarnation of Zhenwu; he came to the mortal realm for mortal affairs as well."

Hong Xixiang released a blue light, resisting the scorching heat from the power of the immortal sword.

Fortunately, Ye Yun did not fully control this immortal sword; otherwise, with his current cultivation level, he would probably be no match for it.

Ye Yun now understood why Hong Xixiang had just made the bold statement that his path in martial arts was over.

So this is how they kill people—by directly destroying their primordial spirit and destroying their martial arts heart.

Ye Yun laughed and said, "Why can the True Martial Avatar be in the mortal realm, but I, Ye Yun, cannot be in the mortal realm?"

"Hong Xixiang, you will die today."
