Embers of Sword

Chapter 224: Slaying the Red Dragon

Dragon fire flew, the sky and earth dimmed, and half of the sky in Daxu was covered by sword light.

Xie Xuanyi walked towards Xie Sheng and Ao Ying alone.

He could tell.

Xie Sheng once again activated the Red Dragon Cave Heaven, wanting to use the power of the Dharmakaya to compete with himself.

As for that witch...

Although he said that he wanted to join forces with Xie Sheng, he had no intention of taking the first action!
Ao Ying is very smart.

She knew that both Xie Zhen and Xie Sheng were dangerous people!

No matter who wins this battle, she will gain nothing.

If she wants to live, there is only one way.

Let Xie Zhen and Xie Sheng fight to the death and look for opportunities from it.

So... this witch's mind is very simple.

She wanted to wait for these two sword-wielding geniuses to fight first, to see who was stronger and who was weaker, and then look for a suitable opportunity to attack!
"His!"

Xie Sheng's eyes were red, and after the Red Dragon sword energy filled his heart, he no longer had the heart to think about anything else.

There was only one thought in my mind.

kill!

The Prince of Jiangning, riding on twelve red dragon flying swords, rushed towards Xie Xuanyi.

"..."

When Xie Xuanyi saw this scene, his expression became slightly more serious.

As expected, the Xie family invested a lot of resources in this prince.

The red dragon is in my heart.

If you really want to fight.

I'm afraid that Tai Shang Zhai Daozi and Qian Tian Palace Shengzi are no match for Xie Sheng!

After the Red Dragon Mark was activated, the twelve flying swords once again condensed into Dharma images... This is actually a magical power that can only be displayed by those in the Yin God Realm!
Just hear a long howl!
A mighty red dragon emerged between heaven and earth, with thousands of dragon scales reflecting the sword light, looking extremely majestic!
Xie Sheng no longer maintained the balance of the Red Dragon Mark. In order to fight with Xie Zhen, he tried his best to seize all the power contained in the Red Dragon's luck!
"Half-step Yin God..."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and raised his palms.

A ray of dark sword intent twisted and emerged in the palm of his hand.

All caves and heavens that wish to achieve Yin Gods need to condense the "Tao Principles".

There is no complete Tao.

It cannot be considered a real Yin God!
Xie Sheng used the Red Dragon's luck to try to reach the top in one step... This luck is indeed great, but the Red Dragon's Dharma image is just an illusion. It looks majestic, but actually there is no Taoism contained in it.

It's just skin but no bones and blood.

now.

The sword intent in Xie Xuanyi's palm was only a tiny trace.

But as soon as it appeared.

The surrounding space was slightly distorted.

Ao Ying, who was standing at the center of the formation, looked solemn, her eyes fixed on the dark sword in Xie Zhen's palm...

If.

Xie Sheng gave her a feeling of danger!

Then the sword energy in Xie Zhen's palm...

This made her feel the meaning of death in advance!
"Ao Ying? If I remember correctly, this is your name."

Xie Xuanyi's voice calmly entered her heart.

Ao Ying only felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end.

"Stand still where you are. Otherwise, my sword will strike you between the eyebrows."

Xie Xuanyi cast a cold look at Ao Ying.

After entering the cave realm.

Xie Xuanyi hardly practiced the art of flying swords... The reason was simple, his "law of destruction" had already been successfully condensed decades ago.

If you are aiming to achieve the Yin God.

His enlightenment was almost not difficult at all.

This is also the reason why the reincarnated immortals and reincarnated bodhisattvas of Taoism and Buddhism have such a fast cultivation speed.

After two lifetimes of practice, he has realized many great principles.

The most difficult stage of "enlightenment" in the world.

They have stepped on it once.

As long as Xie Xuanyi is willing, he can condense the "Principle of Destruction" at any time and step into the Yin Shen realm!
But he didn't want to.

In this life, he obtained the Fountain of Immortality and had the opportunity to practice the second way of swordsmanship.

He wanted to practice both ways and attain enlightenment at the same time!
By then, with the two principles in hand, once you reach the Yin God realm, you will be the strongest person in this realm!
At this moment, the dark sword intent condensed in Xie Xuanyi's palm.

It is the "Principle of Destruction"...

To be precise, this is only a part of the "Law of Destruction"!

Xie Sheng used the red dragon's luck to condense the Dharma image.

It was obvious that he wanted to kill me.

There would be no benefit for Xie Xuanyi to keep hiding things at this time, and he would most likely suffer a loss.

"Xie Zhen! I'll kill you!"

Xie Sheng clasped his hands together.

This red dragon circled in the sky, absorbing the dragon fire from all around, becoming extremely powerful, and then swooped down!

Xie Xuanyi said nothing and swung his hand to cut out the sword intent!

The principle of destruction transformed into a dark lightning that shattered the hundreds of feet of void in front of it.

Stab it!

An extremely piercing explosion.

The red dragon with murderous intent collided with the Way of Destruction, but there was no shocking scene of "tip against wheat spikes". It was just like a piece of paper being torn... The dark sword intent pierced through the red dragon and tore it apart, cutting it into two halves very cleanly.

"???"

Ao Ying stood there in a daze.

She looked pale and didn't even dare to breathe.

She knew Xie Zhen was very strong.

But Xie Zhen... is he really that strong?

The holy son of the human race who had achieved perfection in the cave heaven was like a chicken or a dog in front of him and could not withstand a single blow!
Besides.

Even the Half-Step Yin God who activated the Red Dragon's luck and forcefully used the power of the Dharmakaya could not withstand Xie Zhen's sword!
Should this sword contain the power of Tao?

This Xie Zhen must be the reincarnation of some sage of the human race? !
Not only Ao Ying was stunned.

Xie Sheng was also stunned.

This ray of dark sword intent tore the red dragon into pieces and in just a moment, arrived in front of the Prince of Jiangning.

Xie Sheng stared at the scene with eyes wide open in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that his "Red Dragon Dharma Image" was once again shattered by Xie Zhen's casual sword!
Yes……

again……

These three words completely shattered his faith.

Last time in Xuanshui Cave Heaven, Xie Zhen picked up a branch and, with the help of Lianhuahe's sword power, smashed the red dragon's image.

This time, he directly used the sword intent containing the "Tao" to crush the enemy with ease, reenacting the scene that had happened in Xuanshui Cave Heaven.

How heartbreaking is this?
It turns out that what those voices from the outside world making fun of me are saying are all true.

After failing the Sword Palace competition.

Xie Sheng was walking in Jiangning County. He listened to the discussions on the streets and alleys, and no longer praised himself as a sword immortal.

Many people say that.

Even if it is not in Xuanshui Cave Heaven, there is no Lotus River.

Xie Zhen only needed one sword to defeat him.

When they met on the snowy mountain, Xie Sheng said to Tai Shang Zhai Daozi that the battle was over and he no longer cared about the right or wrong, success or failure.

But how can I not care?
The more you care, the more you want to win it back.

The more he faced this sword, the more desperate he became.

A "buzz" sound!
The dark sword intent pierced through the red dragon and stabbed directly into Xie Sheng's chest.

Xie Xuanyi had no intention of holding back against the Prince of Jiangning... He had never had the "cherishing talent" that the great men of the Great Chu Dynasty often talked about.

He just knows.

Xie Sheng had not concealed his murderous intentions towards him at all.

Perhaps it was because he was unable to subdue the red dragon and was dominated by the murderous intent in his heart.

Maybe it was just a momentary obsession.

No matter what...Xie Sheng wanted to kill himself.

If there is no "law of destruction".

Today, I might die here.

Xie Sheng closed his eyes and clenched his teeth. He had given up resisting.

But the next moment.

A blazing light flashed from between his brows, forming a barrier that surrounded it.

A familiar afterimage of divine thought appeared.

It was the prince of the Jiangning Xie family, Xie Zhisui.

Xie Zhisui waved his sleeves, and with a wisp of remnant thought, he forcibly blocked Xie Xuanyi's "Principle of Destruction"... This wisp of remnant thought was mixed in the Red Dragon Cave Heaven, and even Xie Sheng didn't know that he had such a trick up his sleeve.

"Father?"

Xie Sheng fell to the ground, looking at the figure in the black robe with fluttering sleeves, his eyes a little confused.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and stared at the shadow. King Jiangning was quite powerful.

In the past few years, the Xie family has made great progress. With the help of Wu Zexian, Xie Zhisui's strength should have reached the peak of Yin God. He is currently seeking the way. If he can get a great opportunity, he may be able to enter the realm of Yang God in this life!
Unfortunately.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The remnant left by a peak Yin God who was thousands of miles away was not enough to fight against the "Law of Destruction".

This ray of sword intent was corroding the sleeves of Prince Jiangning.

Unfortunately, resistance can only last for a while!
"This little friend."

At this moment, the regretful King Jiangning spoke: "If you can show mercy today, I swear in the name of Jiangning that I will not pursue this matter no matter what, and I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

obviously.

This remnant of consciousness is incomplete.

King Jiangning left this divine thought behind so that he could show his power at the critical moment and see if he could save Xie Sheng's life.

Bring out the title of King of Jiangning.

It might work for most people, but to Xie Xuanyi, it is meaningless.

Xie Xuanyi didn't care at all about the temptation from King Jiangning.

next moment.

"My friend, I am the King of Jiangning, Dachu."

Prince Jiangning's voice paused slightly.

He was no longer the pleasant-looking man he was before. His aura became cold and stern, emitting murderous intent: "If you commit this sin of murder, you will have endless troubles in the future... No matter where you flee to, you will pay for this sin of murder."

Xie Xuanyi sneered and was too lazy to pay attention.

He waved his sleeves.

Stab it!

The way of destruction burned away all the remaining thoughts of Xie Zhisui and continued to move towards Xie Sheng's eyebrows.

Prince Jiangning sat on the ground with a pale face. He simply closed his eyes and prepared to face his death.

But the weird thing is.

After waiting for a few breaths, no pain came.

Xie Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

The pitch-black sword energy tore into pieces the remnant robe of Jiangning King Xie Zhisui. The inky robe scattered and then gathered together again, flowing from all directions, and finally formed a strange figure that he had never seen before.

There is still a lingering regret.

But the oppressive feeling of this lingering regret was much, much stronger than Xie Zhisui's...

Xie Xuanyi's expression froze.

He raised his head and looked at the huge black shadow that almost sucked away all the light from the world.

This kind of breath, even if it is just a trace of regret.

It is still irresistible to the mortal world.

After the sword energy tore King Jiangning's clothes into pieces, the real "backup plan" left between Xie Sheng's eyebrows was also fully revealed.

"...Great Immortal Chongkan."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the black shadow for a long time, took a deep breath, and uttered the name word by word.

Nowadays, Taoism is the number one sect in the world, firmly surpassing the Dasui Sword Palace!

The co-leader of the Seven Taoist Halls and the Grand Master of Taoism, "Xiaoyaozi", is as famous as his master Zhao Chunyang, and they are equal and aloof from the world.

And the other Yang God.

Chongkan Great Immortal.

He was the key figure in Taoism becoming the number one sect.

This great Taoist master, who is second only to the emperor in the Taoist sect, sits in charge of the Seven Chambers. He is extremely powerful and has profound Taoist knowledge, which can make the arrogant chief lawyer of Jin'ao Peak feel ashamed of himself.

The two words "Chongkan".

Ao Ying's body became completely stiff.

The demon woman in red didn’t know what to say… Today’s fight between gods was truly beyond expectations.

What is the origin of Xie Sheng?
In the cave between the eyebrows, is there a remnant of a yang god living in it?
"Thank you, young prince. It's true that being born with a silver spoon in your mouth makes a difference."

Xie Xuanyi stared at Xie Sheng and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

Xie Sheng looked pale and dazed.

If anything, seeing his father could make him feel a little more at peace.

At this moment, I saw this strange black shadow.

This put him in complete trouble.

But Xie Xuanyi is the complete opposite.

The moment he saw the regret of Great Master Chongkan, he remembered the "details" that he had missed during the Sword Palace Competition.

The master of the incense hall, Taoist Candle, is a disciple of the great Taoist Chongkan...

Xie Xuanyi has always been curious.

This Taoist Zhu went to so much trouble just to snatch Xie Sheng away from the Sword Palace?
Taoism emphasizes cause and effect, and fate.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect.

The incense hall was sparsely populated, and Taoist Zhu was alone and weak. It was against the Taoist principles to come down the mountain to look for Prince Jiangning...

unless.

There was already a cause.

This time I went down the mountain just to harvest the fruits.

That makes sense.

The Jiangning Xie family and Fangyuanfang have been operating for so many years, allowing Xie Sheng to stand at the pinnacle of worldly hustle and bustle, but their purpose is not to reach the top of the Sword Palace!
From the beginning to the end, the place that Xie Zhisui arranged for Xie Sheng to go was not the Sword Palace, but the Taoist Sect!

If there is no "self".

Xie Sheng defeated many opponents along the way, became the number one in Lotus Peak, and entered the Xuanshui Cave Heaven, but he would not join the Sword Palace in the true sense.

Qing Suan is the Saint Queen's pawn, and so is Xie.

This is the reason why this lingering thought appears in the Daxu formation at this moment.

some years ago.

Xie Zhisui then found Master Chongkan... and let this remnant of thoughts reside in Xie Sheng's Chilong Cave Heaven.

If the Sword Palace reaches the top, the divine consciousness of Master Chongkan will appear.

First come, first served.

Dasui Sword Palace had no choice but to give up this luck and accept the fact that Prince Jiangning had already been accepted as a disciple by Master Chongkan, and hand over Xuanshui Cave Heaven and the young prince of the Xie family.

If not.

They can only fight against the Taoist sect.

"Father..."

Xie Sheng was not stupid. When he saw the black shadow and heard Xie Xuanyi calling Chongkan, he thought of a lot of things.

The Prince of Jiangning spoke in a hoarse voice with a hint of pleading in it.

Unfortunately.

The remnant of Xie Zhisui's soul had been torn into pieces and no longer existed, so he had no way of hearing the cry.

The one who replaced King Jiangning at this moment was the regret of the Taoist master Chongkan.

The dark shadow slowly turned around and calmly looked at Prince Jiangning who was sitting on the ground.

Just a moment.

Then he looked away.

"Chongkan."

Xie Xuanyi had no respect at all. He knew that even someone as powerful as Yang Shen, the remaining trace of his soul could not cross such a long distance and bring back any news from the Dayue Kingdom.

The Dayue Kingdom has layers of array patterns.

Besides.

There are also countless dark demons blocking the way.

This is an ancient battlefield thousands of years ago and a natural "resting place".

"As the second in command of the Dao Sect, what exactly do you like about Xie Sheng?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled softly and asked a more heartbreaking question: "Is it the person, or is it destiny?"

The regrets of Master Chonggong.

It has been living in Xie Sheng's eyebrows for many years.

these years.

Prince Jiangning was furious, cruel, and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and King Jiangning saw it all.

His attitude is laissez-faire.

The Prince of Jiangning's Mansion helped Xie Sheng to resolve all of his troubles.

Be it beating and killing servants or severely injuring opponents, all the mistakes made by Xie Sheng were paid for by the Jiangning Palace.

Everyone just thought that this was the prince's doting on his only son.

But look at it now.

Perhaps this doting is not as simple as everyone thinks.

Xie Sheng practiced for twenty years.

The Red Dragon's luck grew in this way for twenty years.

What accompanies Xie Sheng's growth is not only the luck of the Red Dragon, but also the "secret" hidden in the cave between his son's eyebrows by Jiangning King Xie Zhisui.

A lingering regret of Master Chongkan.
