Embers of Sword

Chapter 203 Breaking the Clouds
Two days, twenty-four hours.

Both long and short.

In the past two days, under the gazes of dozens of people, Xie Xuanyi sat calmly under the mast and entered into a state of meditation. His whole body was shrouded in darkness, like the afterimage of a wind flag swaying in the wind.

He is very clear.

Who initiated the "killing situation" that you are about to face?

It’s not Wu Qiong.

Not even these evil cultivators from southern Xinjiang.

But it was Yuan Jimo who was far away in the imperial city, and Qing Falcon who was hiding in the dark.

They are the ones who really want to kill themselves.

They know it too.

If you want to kill me, these people are definitely not enough.

So……

The real killing scene comes after "landing".

For Xie Xuanyi, the biggest problem lies here. The current predicament is three points similar to the suppression in Beihai back then.

Although the people who were besieging him had become much weaker.

But the dilemma is essentially the same.

If you look around, you will see enemies everywhere, how can you kill them all without getting hurt yourself?
"Crash!"

The Jiageng cloud ship flew over the northern Great Wall. The temperature around it became colder, and countless winds tore through the sky. Those evil cultivators from the southern border who were lying or sitting stood up one by one.

These two days.

The atmosphere on the boat was like an ice cellar. No one spoke, no one talked, and no one moved.

this moment……

Only then did some "movement" begin.

Xie Xuanyi opened his eyes.

He calmly looked at the figures that stood up one after another.

"If it happens again."

Xie Xuanyi whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "I won't make the same mistake again..."

The reason why he suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of the North Sea that year.

It was because he suffered a severe blow at the beginning, which resulted in no chance at all to break through to the Yang God realm.

He didn't even have a chance to breathe.

Although ants are small, they can still kill a giant elephant if they gather together.

not to mention.

In the Battle of the North Sea, there were top warriors like Bai Gui participating, which constantly involved me...

After Yuzhu Town was resurrected.

Xie Xuanyi told himself that in this life, he should not give powerful enemies the chance to seriously injure him or surround and attack him again.

"what are you saying?"

The large sails on the Jia Geng fluttered in the wind, billowing high, making waves of exciting and loud sounds.

Wu Qiong stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, looking down at the young man in black sitting cross-legged at the mast at the stern.

The Jia Geng crossed the border above the Northern Great Wall.

It means.

At this moment.

Everyone has left the Da Chu Dynasty.

Wu Qiong no longer concealed his identity and revealed his "trump card".

A ray of scarlet light ignited between his eyebrows, and a blood-red full moon appeared.

This is his paradise.

This cave opened up above the Jiageng, and the full moon spread out, transforming into a door that was several feet wide.

Followed by.

Three "puppets" with diamond bodies slowly walked out of the cave.

The Tiangui Sect in Southern Xinjiang is as famous as the Yinshan Sect. The technique they are best at is to transform monks into zombies. This technique is called "puppet making" in the Tiangui Sect.

The higher the level of puppetry, the more complete the zombie's state of being in life can be.

According to the Tiangui Sect, the levels of zombie puppets are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow.

now.

The zombie puppets summoned by Wu Qiong all have the cultivation level of Vajra Realm, and according to the quality level, they have all reached the "Earth Level"!
These three puppets descended on the Jiageng cloud ship.

The entire boat shook instantly. Perhaps because it was under too much pressure, the boat even sank a bit.

Wu Qiong stood in the biting wind.

The blood-colored cave behind him released a huge pressure. The other evil cultivators all changed color and subconsciously moved further away from this demon from the Tiangui Sect.

Only one person.

His expression did not change.

"Ninth level of the cave heaven?"

Xie Xuanyi was slightly relieved when he saw this cave: "It seems that the 'perfect cave' is not so common these days."

Wu Qiong's expression turned gloomy.

This was an unintentional remark.

To him, it sounded like sarcasm!
"Thank you, Zhen."

Wu Qiong said quietly, "It's not too late to beg for mercy now. If you kneel down immediately, perhaps I can spare your life."

On the Jia Geng, the two camps were clearly divided.

A wave.

There are more than twenty people, and three fearless "King Kong" earth puppets!

Another group.

There was only one person and one sword.

"My seat?"

Xie Xuanyi held the umbrella sword and said coldly: "Are you worthy of being called this master?"

He only brought one thing with him on this hunt to the north.

It is this umbrella sword.

The moment Xie Xuanyi grasped the umbrella sword, the entire Jiageng cloud ship was filled with the sound of low swords.

Above the clouds, countless swaying mists vibrated and boiled with the sword's intent.

……

……

"So, in your opinion, how should Xie Zhen break the impasse?"

You Yuan narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but ask.

Twenty-three Southern Border evil cultivators. These people have varying strengths, but they win in numbers and are good at bloody battles!
Among them, there are fourteen cave heavens.

Regardless of whether they have taken elixirs or not, these evil cultivators at least possess the "supernatural powers" of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Even though You Yuan had seen many geniuses.

But he really couldn't think of how Xie Zhen would be able to kill them all cleanly and efficiently if a fight broke out?
the most important is--

How can I kill these evil cultivators without getting injured myself?

A few more hours later.

The cloud ship is about to arrive at the border of the Snow Mountain. By then, all the major sects and families will notice the abnormality of the "Jia Geng".

"I am not sure."

Qing Falcon smiled calmly and said frankly: "To be honest, I am also looking forward to Xie Zhen's 'performance'. I know he must be hiding a great secret. He dared to step into the imperial city and participate in the Northern Hunt. The Sword Palace will also prepare some taboo methods for him. If Wu Qiong can force such a trump card, then the arrangement of Jia Geng will be successful."

You Yuan frowned and asked, "Wu Qiong has a high status in Tiangui Sect. If he dies here, how will you explain to Tiangui Sect?"

"He won't die."

Qing Falcon said expressionlessly, "The Great Chu Imperial City has already accepted the surrender of the Tiangui Sect. It won't be long before the two forces reach a cooperation... Yuan Jimo is in charge of the arrangement of the Northern Hunt this time. You know him well. Since he arranged for Wu Qiong and Xie Zhen to ride together, he must have a way to 'end it'."

"Does this kid have a teleportation talisman carved by a formation master of the Da Chu royal family?"

You Yuan instantly guessed the solution Qing Suan was talking about.

"Ah……"

Qing Falcon smiled indifferently and said, "In theory, as long as a trace of vitality is left, the array pattern can be activated and leave in an instant. Wu Qiong is best at the 'puppet making technique'. There are countless zombies raised in the cave. If a fight really breaks out and he senses something is wrong, he can activate the talisman and leave. Of course, if he really dies, it has nothing to do with me, because this was arranged by Yuan Jimo. What does it have to do with me?"

Take ten thousand steps back.

A dying person, would he care about explaining something or not?
"..."

You Yuan took a deep breath.

After hearing Qing Sun's arrangements, the examiner of the Beihu ship had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was vaguely worried about Xie Zhen.

The move by the Imperial City Division this time was really too fierce...

Or rather, it was too despicable.

Just as he was about to send out a ray of divine thought, a loud noise suddenly came from the clouds not far away.

"Oh, has it started?"

A smile appeared on Qing Falcon's face.

But the next moment.

The smile froze on his cheek.

The divine thoughts of the two Yin Gods rushed towards the Jia Geng at the same time, but the strange thing was... both divine thoughts were actually "blocked" on the periphery!
"Is this... a formation pattern?"

You Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Qing Falcon was also stunned.

Around the Jia Geng, a number of talismans with green array patterns appeared. The quality of the talisman paper used for these talismans was not very high, just some rough yellow paper, but the remaining array patterns and Taoist meanings on them were extremely mysterious, turning into a green canopy that enveloped the Jia Geng.

These two days.

Xie Xuanyi has been meditating and practicing. It seems that he is practicing with his eyes closed, but in fact, he is using his spiritual thoughts to infiltrate the entire Jiageng.

His spiritual realm surpassed that of everyone on this trip.

Including the ship examiner You Yuan.

Two days.

Xie Xuanyi quietly "took over" the Jiageng as his own, and at the same time tampered with most of the formation patterns on this cloud ship.

in order.

Right now, at this moment.

……

……

The moment you hold the umbrella sword.

Countless sword intentions were boiling, flying around the Jiageng like swimming fish.

Xie Xuanyi raised the umbrella sword above his head.

He did not rush to draw his sword, but just sent out a wisp of divine thought.

This divine thought ignited the outer talisman of the Jiageng.

At this moment, this big ship was completely out of You Yuan's "control".

then.

The formation pattern roars!

Xie Xuanyi summoned his spiritual power, and sword energy rushed into the sky. In an instant, hundreds of brilliant thunders shook out.

Several cloud ships travelling with the Jia Geng all felt this extremely terrifying "power". Dozens of divine thoughts came over at the same time, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the talismans.

then.

Under the spotlight.

The "tragic scene" of the Jia Geng ship was exposed to everyone's spiritual vision.

The mast that was as tall as a sword was broken by the sword energy, and the fallen wind flag turned into ashes in an instant.

This cloud ship instantly broke away from the "Northern Hunting" team and turned into a meteor that fell straight down. Its bow was like an arrowhead, aiming at the towering snow-capped mountains below and swooping down to crash into them.

Xie Xuanyi watched this scene calmly.

The moment the formation was broken, the cloud ship was pierced by the strong wind over the northern border, and the cold wind was as sharp as a knife.

He felt more relaxed than ever before.

Yes.

This is his answer...

If someone has carefully planned and set up the Northern Hunting Scheme, then Xie Xuanyi only needs to do one thing.

Breaking.

He doesn't want to follow anyone's plan.

Everyone is waiting for his "Northern Hunt".

And he just wanted to get the God Fruit.

This place is still some distance away from the snow-capped mountains in the north... but to me, this distance is nothing.

This ship full of evil cultivators has never been a threat.

If they could survive until the "cloud ship" crashed to the ground.

Then I will wait until I fall to the ground and deal with them one by one.

Rumble!
The roar of the sword energy breaking through the clouds shook the ears of every evil cultivator, and everyone's expressions became extremely ugly.

No one expected it.

Xie Zhen would make such a choice!

"Xie Zhen?!"

Wu Qiong's face turned pale.

He grabbed the railing of the bow to steady himself, and shouted angrily, his face full of disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"
