Chapter 80 Black Heart Lamp Soul-Stealing Rope
The Heartbroken Young Master's attention was focused on the Black-Hearted Young Master, and he could also tell that the light and shadow did not resemble a deity or incense offering.

While analyzing in his mind whether it was a clone or a spell, he released his Heartbreak Blade to make a first strike.

His Heartbreak Knife was a broken knife, only half of it. He obtained it by chance in Xiandu Mountain, and no one knew who made it.

After finding it, he nurtured and refined it for many years. Later, he became a disciple of Cui Wushe, received guidance, and repeatedly refined it using the methods of the Ghost Path.

He had no other magic weapons; all his life's work was devoted to this heart-wrenching knife.

The moment the sword was drawn, it transformed into a dark red streak of light and flew away, trailing a trail of malevolent energy over ten feet long. It beheaded the enormous illusion created by Yang Qisheng before the Black-Hearted Young Master could react.

At the same moment, his body was pierced by the Three Corpse Staff.

The Three Corpse Staff has a relief of three poisonous snakes on its surface. Upon seeing the essence blood, the snakes immediately came to life, burrowed into the Broken Heart Prince's abdomen, and went straight into the lower dantian cauldron, sucking in all the dantian fire and evil energy he had painstakingly cultivated throughout his life.

At the same time, "Gao Ding" took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve and emitted a beam of green light that enveloped the heartbroken young master.

He was using the Nine-Headed Mirror!
With the Three Corpse Staff inside and the Nine-Headed Mirror outside, the three corpses and nine worms within his body were all stirred up, frantically absorbing his spiritual energy and blood.

With a roar, the Broken Heart Prince used all his strength to turn the Soul-Severing Blade back and beheaded Gao Ding and Gao Bing.

However, the two were not killed. Their heads left their bodies and instead of falling to the ground, they flew up and landed on the Broken Heart Prince.

One opened its mouth and nibbled at his cheek, while the other opened its mouth and nibbled at his shoulder.

The two headless bodies continued to manipulate the Three Corpse Staff and the Nine-Headed Mirror.

The Broken Heart Prince let out a miserable scream as his flesh rapidly contracted inward, turning him into a dried-up corpse in just a few breaths, his empty clothes falling to the ground!

Just as Xiaoqian used two magical artifacts to kill the Heartbroken Prince, Yang Qisheng also launched an ambush and unleashed the fiercest attack on the Black-Hearted Prince.

He first shot out a sword aura from each of his ten fingertips. The five colors of sword aura were divided into nine by the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Technique, resulting in a total of ninety sword lights that intertwined horizontally and vertically to form a colorful sword net, which cracked out from the ground beneath the Black Heart Prince's feet!

The Black-Hearted Young Master's attention was first drawn to the image opposite him, then he was attracted by the screams of the Heartbroken Young Master behind him. As soon as he turned around, a net of swords appeared beneath his feet.

Before he could react, he was enveloped in the white sword net. Then, the sword energy contracted inward, cutting his body into countless pieces of broken bones and rotten flesh!
However, this ruthless young master was a disciple personally taught by the ghost judge Cui Wushe.

That heartbroken young master was a self-taught monk who came to the sect later in life, having already acquired his skills before becoming a disciple. He was originally a wandering immortal from another sect.

Although he had cultivated for a longer period and possessed higher magical power, the evil energy he refined was not pure enough and was of lower quality than that of the Black-Hearted Young Master. Furthermore, his cultivation of ghost magic was far inferior.

Although the Black-Hearted Young Master's physical body was destroyed, he used a secret technique of the Ghost Path in a moment of extreme urgency, covering his entire body with ghost fire. As the sword net contracted and cut inward, his body also contracted inward. Although he was cut into pieces by the sword net, he burned and sacrificed his body, similar to a disintegration technique, and exploded outward.

"boom!"

Pieces of the corpse burned into bright green fireballs that scattered in all directions.

A gap was blasted open above the sword net, and the Black Heart Fiend in his primordial spirit fusion furnace soared into the air, unfolding anew in the night sky and transforming into a ball of black, viscous, humanoid flame.

"It's those scoundrels from Taiyi Palace!"

Although he had never seen a disciple of Taiyi Palace make a move, he recognized the style of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, which was to condense flying swords from the inside out using various essences. He guessed that it was his own great enemy who had plotted against him.

He cursed loudly and saw a five-colored light bloom on the ground, revealing a white-clad youth inside. He knew it was the person who had ambushed and plotted against him.

Instead of attacking Yang Qisheng, he saw that the Broken Heart Prince had shrunk into a zombie and fallen to the ground. He immediately manipulated the sixteen paper figures on the sedan chair, who then lunged at Yang Qisheng with paper knives in their hands.

He himself transformed into a black flame and flew straight eastward.

Despite the death of his comrades and the loss of his own physical body, he did not fight the enemy to the death, but instead chose to flee.

The Empty Prince is not far to the east. He needs to meet up with his senior brother first, and then come back to kill the enemy and take revenge!
However, since Yang Qisheng had already laid an ambush, how could he possibly allow him to escape like this?

The black fiery aura had barely flown three miles when a green Azure Sun Divine Talisman appeared in the sky, towering ten zhang high. Its immense light shimmered in the night, blocking its path like a precipice. The fiery aura was forced to retreat, reverting to its original form, and hurriedly turned southeast, attempting to bypass the Azure Sun Divine Talisman. However, it quickly collided with the Fire Court Divine Talisman to the south.

This talisman doesn't just appear in one place. As long as he walks in the east or south, it will appear head-on whenever he encounters the boundary of the formation, blocking his path no matter where he crashes into it.

Yang Qisheng then directed the sword energy to condense into ten flying swords that closely pursued the pursuer. Each flying sword emitted eight sword lights, with colors ranging from dark to light, from dark green to light green, from bright red to pink, totaling ninety lights. The various colors of light intertwined and reflected each other, creating a beautiful sight. The swords locked onto the Black Heart Prince and relentlessly pursued him.

Yang Qisheng knew that the Black Heart Prince was powerful, far stronger than the Soul-Crossing Prince before, and his ghost magic was mysterious and unpredictable, often doing things in unexpected ways. He was also worried that the third Void Prince might arrive at any time, so he dared not be negligent and pursued him with all his might!

Unable to escape, the ruthless young master could only roar and launch a desperate counterattack.

He flicked his right hand, unleashing the Soul-Snatching Rope, and swung it in circles to deflect the approaching flying swords. The swords and ropes clashed, exploding into bursts of colorful light.

Then, with his left hand forming a hand seal, he activated the Black Heart Lamp, and black flames poured out from it, transforming into countless black fire raindrops in the sky, raining down on Yang Qisheng.

Yang Qisheng could tell that his black flames were much more powerful than ordinary will-o'-the-wisps.

He had only practiced the Five Elements Refining and Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Technique for a few months, and the Five Elements Alchemy Furnace around him had only been completed recently, so the quality of the flying swords he produced was limited.

First, the evolved colorful sword light was shredded or melted when it encountered the Soul-Snatching Rope and the black flames. Finally, the ten sword auras could not withstand the force and dissolved and dissipated one by one.

"So he's just a newcomer to the Dao!" The Black-Hearted Young Master sensed that Yang Qisheng's sword aura was not strong, which put his mind at ease. However, he didn't know if Yang Qisheng had any accomplices. Eager to finish the battle quickly, he unfurled the Soul-Snatching Rope with his right hand and flung it forward. The rope then extended infinitely, wrapping around Yang Qisheng's body.

With a thought, Yang Qisheng used his malevolent energy to condense a substitute talisman, which remained in place to be entangled by the Soul-Snatching Rope in his place.

The Soul-Snatching Rope can not only entangle a person's physical body, but also lock away their primordial spirit and soul.

Once entangled, it immediately determines that the person is not a stranger, and with a snap, the chain pulls inward and explodes into a ball of golden light.

Yang Qisheng appeared in another location, his arms outstretched, and released ninety colorful sword lights, which flew through the air like a peacock spreading its tail.

The orthodox Xuanmen sword-making tradition emphasizes working from the inside out, using one's own essence to forge a divine sword.

The unorthodox method involves taking various external metals and forging them into a precious sword, then combining it with one's own true energy to master it.

In the early stages of sword practice, the flying swords of the Xuanmen sect are indeed no match for the flying swords of the Hexie sect. Unless the swords used by the Hexie sect cultivators are of very poor quality, if both sides put in the same effort and their magical power and cultivation are similar, the Hexie sect flying swords can always cut through the Xuanmen flying swords.

This situation usually cannot be reversed until the stage of combining medicines and refining elixirs.

The Black-Hearted Young Master's magical power was far superior to Yang Qisheng's, and the two magical treasures he used were also forged by his master Cui Wushe with a lot of effort. It was only natural that he could destroy Yang Qisheng's Sword Demon. Yang Qisheng had also anticipated this.

The advantage of the orthodox flying swords of the Xuanmen sect is that they are formed from qi. Even if they are destroyed, they can be re-formed with a wave of the hand. As long as the qi in the furnace is still there and the fire in the furnace is not extinguished, there will be a continuous supply of flying swords to use.

Moreover, since it is formed from one's own internal energy and is highly compatible with one's own primordial spirit, it can be used as easily as one's own limbs, and can be used instantly with a thought. This allows it to be used in conjunction with various spells, and it does not necessarily have to be condensed into the shape of a flying sword, making it ever-changing.

If they can avoid being cut off by their opponent and engage in a fair sword fight, the Xuanmen sect can win quickly.

Yang Qisheng regenerated ninety sword beams and shot them at the Black Heart Prince again. The Black Heart Prince continued to fight back with the Soul-Stealing Lock and the Black Heart Lamp.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Qisheng took the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd in his hand, made a hand seal to cast a spell, and with a soft shout, more than a hundred flying swords filed out from it, transforming into sword lights of various colors in the air, ranging from two or three zhang to only three or four chi, shooting in the direction indicated by Yang Qisheng's sword incantation.

The ruthless young master was startled. He knew that Taiyi Palace was his mortal enemy and that he would kill them without mercy if he encountered them. He had long been prepared to fight the disciples of Taiyi Palace.

I never expected that the disciple of Taiyi Palace, a true disciple of the Xuanmen sect, would be so unethical. Before I could even figure out what was going on, my senior brother, Broken Heart Young Master, was turned into a dried corpse, and my own body was destroyed. I had thought that the other party's cultivation and magic power were not high, and I was going to fight back against the odds, but I saw such a terrifying weapon!
He retrieved the circle he had thrown out with the Soul-Snatching Rope, completely protecting himself in a defensive stance. Then, he used the black flames emitted by the Black Heart Lamp to burn the flying swords. He could tell that the quality of those flying swords was not very high, and given enough time, he would definitely be able to refine them and burn them into iron slag.

The flying swords in the Myriad Swords Gourd were all taken from others by the Great Master, and they were all from unorthodox sects, with varying quality. They were indeed unable to withstand the burning of the black flames.

It is possible that a true master placed the Heavenly Immortal Fire inside the gourd. These swords have been tempered by the fire for many years inside the gourd, which has changed their quality. Otherwise, they would not only have sword light that is three or four feet long.

Moreover, after these flying swords flew out, their surfaces were covered with a thin layer of Heavenly Immortal Fire. This fire was formed by the Great True Man after he cultivated the Golden Core. It was specifically designed to counter all demons and evil spirits and was the nemesis of the Taiyin Ghost Fire!
