The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

During his fight with Li Tianxing, Xie Xuan would occasionally glance in the direction of the demonic array. Seeing the immense power of Tao Hongjing's sword formation, he was secretly pleased. If they could just hold on a little longer, and Tao Hongjing completely broke the demonic array, victory would be assured.

Therefore, he focused more intently on dealing with Li Tianxing, and his sword moves became increasingly fierce.

At this moment, the sounds of shouts of battle and the clashing of weapons filled the air at Hulao Pass.

The soldiers on the city wall also joined in, hurling arrows, stones, and other weapons at the demon army.

This battle concerned the survival of Hulao Pass and the lives of countless civilians. They could not retreat; they could only fight bravely forward.

Inside the magic array, Mu Suifeng's cavalry had successfully removed several array flags. The magic array's power was weakened by the loss of the flags.

Tao Hongjing sensed the changes in the magic array, so he increased his control over the sword array. The sword array shone even brighter and moved through the magic array more quickly.

The ghost soldiers fell one after another under the attack of the sword formation.

Li Tianxing felt increasingly overwhelmed. He had to deal with Xie Xuan's entanglement while also keeping a close eye on the situation of the demonic array, leaving him with no time to spare.

Xie Xuan, on the other hand, grew more and more confident as the fight progressed.

"Li Tianxing, your end has come!" Xie Xuan shouted, and with a sudden swing of his long sword, a powerful sword aura slashed towards Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing hurriedly swung his sword to defend, but the power of the sword energy was too great, and he was still forced to take a few steps back.

Xie Xuan's "delaying tactic" and Tao Hongjing's sword formation became the key to breaking Li Tianxing's demonic formation.

Inside the inner city, the shouts of battle were so deafening they made one's eardrums ache.

Zhang Wei's monster cavalry, each riding a strange and grotesque monster, resembled a surging black torrent, fiercely colliding with Xian Zhen's monster cavalry.

The force of the collision instantly threw the entire neighborhood into chaos.

The houses, which were originally arranged in a neat row, collapsed instantly, with bricks and stones flying everywhere and dust rising into the air.

Xinghe, one of the four demon kings under Zhang Wei, was agile and swiftly moved back and forth in the enemy ranks.

Every time he swung his weapon, it brought forth a storm of blood and carnage.

With his extraordinary martial arts skills, Xinghe managed to separate Xianzhen's demonic beast cavalry and firmly blockade the front half of the inner city.

The cavalrymen were trapped in this small area, like ants on a hot pan, rushing left and right, but they could not break through Xinghe's defenses.

Looking at the stalemate in the distance, Li Tianxing paced back and forth on the battlefield, sweat rolling down his forehead.

"What should I do? If this drags on any longer, I'll surely be doomed!" His panic was palpable.

At this critical moment of life and death, Li Tianxing gritted his teeth and made up his mind to use his ultimate move.

He suddenly shouted, and with a forceful flick of his sleeve, a flash of dark light appeared, and the demonic weapon instantly appeared in his hand.

He gripped the demonic weapon tightly with both hands, his demonic power surging wildly, and shouted, "Dragon in the Sky!" In an instant, a huge demonic dragon emerged from his sleeves.

This demonic dragon had a massive body and hard scales, each as large as a shield. It bared its fangs and claws and pounced straight at Xie Xuan.

The protective array of Hulao Pass activated automatically upon sensing the powerful magical impact.

Beams of white light shone from the city walls, weaving together into a huge net of light that enveloped the entire city.

Facing the dragon's ferocious attack, Xie Xuan remained calm and showed no fear.

The Purple Sun True Qi within his body surged. He uttered a soft shout: "Rise!" The sword beneath his feet instantly soared into the air, carrying him towards the demonic dragon.

"Purple Dragon Nine Turns Supporting the Heavens!" With his incantation, the imperial sword in his hand shone with unparalleled light, instantly transforming into a ten-zhang-long savage dragon.

The savage dragon radiated a purple light, exuding a menacing aura, and confronted the demonic dragon in the air.

High above the heavens, two dragons, one righteous and one evil, confront each other.

The demonic dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged at the purple dragon, but the purple dragon nimbly twisted its body, skillfully dodging the demonic dragon's attack, while simultaneously swinging its dragon claws to grab at the demonic dragon.

The two giant dragons clashed and tore at each other in the air, each clash causing violent changes in the world.

Suddenly, the previously gloomy sky was filled with wind and thunder. The wind howled, blowing sand and stones all over the ground; lightning flashed wildly, illuminating the entire battlefield.

A massive vortex tornado formed between heaven and earth, destroying everything in its path, as if it were about to devour the entire world.

This terrifying scene instilled immense pressure in everyone at Hulao Pass.

Whether they were living people on the battlefield or the souls of the dead soldiers, they were all overwhelmed by this oppressive force.

Jiang Chuan and Chen Yuanfang stood on the city wall, watching the breathtaking battle in the sky.

Jiang Chuan said loudly and confidently, "Yuan Fang, don't worry, my master Xie Xuan is invincible. That demonic dragon is no match for him!"

Chen Yuanfang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "But... this demonic dragon looks far too powerful."

Jiang Chuan patted Chen Yuanfang on the shoulder and said, "You have to believe me. One day, we brothers will also stand at the peak of the Heavenly Dao and look down on this land of Kyushu!"

Chen Yuanfang looked at Jiang Chuan and felt a warm current surge in his heart. Although he was still half-believing and half-doubting, he couldn't help but nod.

Seeing the Demon Dragon gradually losing ground in its battle with the Purple Dragon, Li Tianxing grew anxious.

He stomped his foot and shouted, "Law of Heaven and Earth, Blood Sea and Skull!" As he spoke, a huge phantom of the Heavenly Dao appeared behind him.

The phantom was sinister and terrifying, with an endless sea of ​​blood churning beneath its feet, and countless skeleton armies baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan snorted coldly and shouted loudly, "Law of Heaven and Earth, True Martial Emperor!" Behind him, a phantom of the Heavenly Dao also appeared.

The phantom figure, clad in a golden robe and wielding a sword, exuded an imposing aura. He slowly raised his sword, and with a gentle swing, instantly annihilated the army of skeletons charging towards him.

This sword strike seemed to sever Yin and Yang, silencing the entire world. The power of a clash of myriad phenomena at the Sage Realm was truly terrifying.

It was as if a violent earthquake had struck the heavens and earth, instantly dispersing the clouds and mist within a hundred miles. Hulao Pass, along with the Dushan Mountain range, trembled violently under this powerful force. Bricks and stones fell from the city walls, and huge cracks appeared in the ground.

When Xian Zhen saw this scene on the battlefield, a murderous intent surged within him. His gaze swept across the battlefield, finally locking onto Jiang Chuan, whose dragon aura was erupting. He snorted coldly, and nine demonic clones instantly flew out from his body.

Each of these clones wielded a renowned sword during their tribulation, radiating powerful magical energy. As he commanded them to charge towards Jiang Chuan, he loudly taunted Zhang Wei, "Defeated warrior, do you dare to fight me again!"

Upon hearing Xian Zhen's provocation, Zhang Wei's eyes widened in anger, and the veins on his face bulged.

He roared, "Xian Zhen, today I will surely cut you down!" As he spoke, three clones of him instantly flew out of his body and chased after Xian Zhen's clone.

He had only one thought in his mind: to protect Jiang Chuan. Xian Zhen's clones were extremely cunning. They skillfully bypassed Zhang Wei's clones and headed straight for Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan and Chen Yuanfang watched in horror. They were facing an unprecedented danger.

Just when life and death hung in the balance, Zhang Wei's clones arrived in time. They brandished their weapons and blocked Xian Zhen's six clones.

Yuan Zhe rushed over quickly and shouted, "Sky-Supporting Finger!" A powerful finger force shot out from his fingertip, blocking one of Xian Zhen's clones.

However, despite everyone's best efforts, two clones still managed to break through the defenses and reach the top of the city wall.

Jiang Chuan watched the clone getting closer and closer, steeled his heart, and decided to go all out.

He gripped the bladeless sword tightly and shouted, "I'll fight to the death!" With that, he charged towards Xian Zhen's clone.

The bladeless sword shone brightly in Jiang Chuan's hand, instantly transforming into the sword spirit, Mountain Ghost.

The sword spirit, a mountain demon, bared its fangs and claws, blocking one of the clones.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, faced the final clone alone. He was filled with despair, but he did not give up.

He frantically called out to the dragon soul in his soul sea: "Dragon soul, wake up! Break the seal and lend me a hand! As long as I can live, I will definitely go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang to find the Dragon King's tomb and help you be reborn!"

As if hearing Jiang Chuan's call, the dragon soul stirred gently in its sea of ​​souls.

Jiang Chuan felt a sharp pain in his right hand. A powerful force surged within him—the power of the Dragon Soul.

With the support of this power, his body began to undergo strange changes.

Beneath his skin, dragon scales were faintly visible, and his arms gradually grew thicker, with dragon patterns winding and emerging on them. Deep within his soul, it seemed as if a giant dragon was awakening, emitting a deep roar.

Xian Zhen's demonic avatar, wielding a famous sword to undergo tribulation, the sword radiating a chilling light that seemed capable of freezing all life in the world.

His figure was ghostly, and every time he swung the Tribulation-Crossing Sword, he brought out a sharp sword aura, as if he wanted to cut the air into pieces.

Jiang Chuan roared angrily and leaped forward, heading straight for Xian Zhen's clone. To onlookers, this action seemed utterly insane, given the clone's formidable strength; it was not easy to get close to him.

Jiang Chuan had his own reliance. The moment he approached Xian Zhen's clone, he stretched out his large hand and actually grabbed at the Tribulation Crossing Sword with his bare hand.

Xian Zhen's clone clearly hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to be so bold.

But he reacted very quickly, immediately pulling his sword out forcefully, trying to break free from Jiang Chuan's grasp.

Jiang Chuan possessed astonishing strength at this moment, gripping the Tribulation-Crossing Sword tightly, his arms bulging with veins and muscles, resembling an ancient war god.

He swiftly clenched his other fist and slammed it towards the chest of Xian Zhen's clone. This punch, imbued with all his strength and carrying the might of the dragon soul, seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Xian Zhen's clone couldn't dodge in time and was hit solidly by the punch. His body flew backward and was sent flying out of the inner city.

The soldiers who were fighting also stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Chuan with shock in their eyes.

Xian Zhen's main body, who was locked in combat with Zhang Wei, was also stunned. He couldn't believe that his clone had failed to kill Jiang Chuan instantly, and instead was sent flying by a single punch.

His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably as he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Jiang Chuan, don't be so smug. Today is your death day!"

Just then, a beautiful figure streaked across the sky and flew towards the battlefield.

It was the Sword Spirit Mountain Ghost.

She wore a long white dress that billowed in the wind, making her look like a fairy descending to earth. Yet, she exuded a chilling killing intent.

Her transformed sword spirit form wielded a bladeless sword, which, though without a sharp edge, exuded a mysterious and powerful energy.

The Mountain Spirit then unleashed the "Three Swords Without Edge." The air in front of her distorted, and the sword intent instantly materialized, revealing a red leopard and a raccoon dog before everyone's eyes.

The red leopard radiated a red glow, containing intense heat; the raccoon was pure white, its fur gleaming with an eerie sheen.

Red Leopard and Wenli pounced on Xianzhen's clone.

The red leopard was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to Xian Zhen's clone, leaping high into the air and pouncing towards the Tribulation Sword.

The Tribulation-Crossing Sword clashed head-on with the Crimson Leopard's sword intent, producing a dull thud, like two giant rocks colliding. The powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to vibrate.

The raccoon was more agile, circling behind the clone of the first chariot, then suddenly lunging forward, its claws plunging directly into the clone's abdomen.

Xian Zhen's clone let out a muffled groan and swayed a few times.

He looked down at his abdomen, where a hole had appeared and blood was gushing out.

After Jiang Chuan transformed into a dragon, both his body and soul were greatly enhanced.

But Xianzhen's demonic clone is no ordinary being either.

Xian Zhen's clone steadied himself and fiercely swung the Tribulation-Crossing Sword, unleashing a powerful sword aura towards Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the sword energy. His body flew backward and crashed heavily into the inner city wall.

Bricks and stones flew from the city wall, and his body was buried in them, with only his head sticking out.

But he didn't give up; the power of his dragon soul surged within him once more. He braced himself against the wall with both hands, slowly rising from the pit. His body was covered in dust and blood, and his clothes were torn in several places. Ze pushed off with his feet, using brute force to propel himself into the sky again, flying towards Xian Zhen's clone.

He shouted, "Azure Frost Sword, come!" A streak of light flashed, and the Azure Frost Sword appeared in his hand.

Jiang Chuan, wielding the Azure Frost Sword, charged toward Xian Zhen's clone, ready to fight him to the death.

Xian Zhen's clone watched Jiang Chuan rush towards him with disdain. He was truly courting death; even in his current state, he still dared to come looking for him.

He brandished his Tribulation-Transcending Sword, preparing to meet Jiang Chuan's attack. Just then, the Mountain Demon made its move. Jiang Chuan was in a precarious situation; without help, Jiang Chuan's life would likely be in danger.

She imbued Jiang Chuan with the pinnacle of her two-hundred-year-old swordsmanship. A stream of light flew from the mountain spirit and merged into his body.

Jiang Chuan felt a powerful sword intent surge into his body, and the Azure Frost Sword in his hand seemed to be drawn by some force, emitting a buzzing sound.

He wielded the Azure Frost Sword, and a powerful sword aura surged from it, known as the Boundless Sword Aura. This sword aura stirred up a gust of wind, rushing towards Xian Zhen's clone's Tribulation-Crossing Sword.

The Tribulation-Crossing Sword and the Boundless Sword Qi of Sword One collided head-on, and the powerful force distorted the surrounding space.

Although Jiang Chuan was knocked away, his sword energy successfully shattered Xian Zhen's clone's Tribulation-Crossing Sword. Not only that, the sword energy also left a gruesome sword wound on Xian Zhen's clone's chest. (End of Chapter)
