Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

However, Shen Mo's gaze fell on the shadow of the stone pillar, and his pupils contracted slightly.

There was no safety signal. Beside the stone pillar, the small restriction continued to operate silently, emitting a faint, barely perceptible, chilling fluctuation. Su Xiao and the two Shadow Guards were nowhere to be found.

problem occurs!

Almost at the same moment that Shen Mo felt a sense of foreboding—

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Three sharp, unparalleled sword lights, as fast as lightning, suddenly erupted from the shadows behind them, above them, and to their right front without warning! The sword lights were condensed, the killing intent pure, the angles tricky and ruthless, and the coordination was perfect, sealing off all their escape space and aiming straight for their vitals!

This was by no means the sinister and powerful attacks of the Xuan Yin Sect, but rather a swift and deadly sword technique skilled in assassination, aiming to kill with a single blow! Moreover, the attacker's cultivation level was at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!

"Heavenly Sword Sect!" The thought flashed through Shen Mo's mind instantly, and his heart sank to the ground.

The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect not only appeared on the west side near Fairy Ling Shuang, but they had also been lying in ambush inside the valley! Moreover, they were clearly targeting their infiltration team!

"Sect Leader, be careful!" Ying San roared, his figure shifting sideways like a ghost. He disregarded his own safety and took the initiative to meet the two sword lights coming from above and to the right front. The short blade in his hand burst out with a thick, dark light, turning into two twisted shadow snakes that hissed and devoured the sword lights!

He was using himself as bait to buy Shen Mo a chance to survive!

Shen Mo's eyes flashed with a cold light. He had no time to think. The mental cultivation method of the "Source Sea Dao Chapter" in his body was running wildly at an unprecedented speed, and the Myriad Laws Source Pearl shone brightly!

Facing the deadliest sword light coming from the side and rear, he neither dodged nor avoided it. He slightly shifted his body to the side, and at the same time, he brought his right index and middle fingers together. A point of chaotic light at the tip of his fingertip was rapidly compressed and condensed, as if it contained a miniature, newly created world. He gently pointed it out to meet the incomparably sharp sword light!

"The origin... refers to..."

Silently.

The instant the fingertips touched the sword light, there was no earth-shattering explosion, no blinding light. The condensed sword light seemed to pierce into an invisible and intangible yet all-encompassing "chaos," and the sharp sword energy was instantly dissolved, decomposed, and assimilated, like a mud ox entering the sea!

The chaotic light at Shen Mo's fingertips dimmed and dissipated, but his body only swayed slightly before he regained his balance.

Meanwhile, a muffled groan came from Shadow Three's side! Although he desperately blocked the two sword lights, the sharp sword intent and powerful spiritual energy contained in those sword lights far exceeded the limit that he, a Golden Core early-stage assassin specializing in assassination and concealment, could withstand!

The two shadowy snakes were shredded by the sword light, the short blades flew away, and he was hit as if by a heavy blow. Two bursts of blood appeared on his chest, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the ruins behind him. His breath instantly weakened, and his life or death was unknown.

Three figures slowly emerged from the shadows where the attack had taken place. They were all dressed in dark gray, close-fitting clothes for easy concealment, but the small sword patterns representing the Heavenly Sword Sect on the corners of their clothes and cuffs were faintly discernible in the eerie light of the valley.

The leader, with a sinister face and eyes like a venomous snake, held a slender, gray longsword that seemed to absorb light. He was the owner of the sword light that had just attacked Shen Mo, and his cultivation was clearly at the late Golden Core stage! The other two were also at the mid-Golden Core stage.

"Your reaction wasn't slow." The sinister swordsman brandished his longsword, the tip pointing at Shen Mo. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant. "As expected of the Qingyun Sect Master Shen, who can stir up the winds and clouds in the Southern Region. Unfortunately, today, this Burial Soul Valley will be your burial ground. My Heavenly Sword Sect's 'Hidden Sword' lineage is specially prepared for people like you who like to act in the shadows."

Shen Mo slowly straightened up, glanced at the fallen Shadow Three, then swept his gaze over the three sharp-looking sword cultivators in front of him, and finally, his gaze passed over them and landed in the direction of the altar.

There, Blood Soul, Bone Fiend, and more—following the updates had never been so enjoyable. The three elders of Yin Nightmare seemed to have been startled by the commotion. Among them, the "Yin Nightmare" elder slowly turned his head, his eyes, completely black as an abyss with no whites, meeting Shen Mo's gaze from a great distance. A cruel and eerie smile appeared on his lips.

The Heavenly Sword Sect ambushes them with hidden swords! The altar elders notice! Su Xiao and the others lose contact! Outside the valley, Fairy Ling Shuang and Leng Yue encounter a powerful enemy, while Shi Tie's troops fight a fierce battle... The Blazing Sun Sect still hasn't appeared, and their allegiance remains unknown!

In an instant, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the danger increased exponentially! This surprise attack not only failed to strike at the heart of the enemy's stronghold, but also found themselves surrounded by enemies and isolated with no one to help them!

The chilling killing intent, like the night wind of the northern desert, was piercing and heart-wrenching.

Shen Mo slowly raised his hand, wiping away the trace of blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth from taking the sword light head-on. His eyes, however, became even calmer, as deep and still as an ancient well. But beneath that calm, something even more terrifying seemed to be slowly awakening.

"A burial ground?" he repeated softly, a faint yet chilling smile curving his lips. "Very well. Your blood will serve as a sacrifice to my Azure Cloud battle banner, and also to comfort the spirit of the Azure Cloud Ancestor in heaven."

The moment he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed! No longer deliberately concealing himself, a vast and powerful aura, seemingly originating from the beginning of chaos and containing the profound Daoist principles of the universe, rose from his body!

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Myriad Laws Source Pearl spun wildly, resonating strongly with the deep blue jade slip in his arms! The bottleneck of his Nascent Soul, which had loosened due to "completing history and connecting cause and effect" but had been forcibly suppressed by him, was actually showing signs of completely shattering and bursting forth under the stimulation of this life-or-death situation!

He took a step forward, and invisible ripples seemed to spread out from beneath his feet.

"Sword cultivators? Ambush? Let me, Shen, experience it for myself. Is your swords sharper, or is the path of Qingyun... more steadfast?"

Shen Mo's voice was not loud, but it was like the cold clang of metal, each word clear and carrying a strange power that pierced through the chaotic battlefield, clearly reaching the ears of the three hidden swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect, as well as the Yin Yan Elder under the altar in the distance.

As he took a step forward, the invisible ripples spreading out beneath his feet were not a surge of spiritual energy, but rather an indescribable fluctuation of "Daoist rhythm" that seemed to stir the spiritual energy of the surrounding world!

The sinister leader of the Hidden Sword Sect suddenly narrowed his eyes, a warning screaming in his heart! The aura emanating from the Qingyun Sect Master, whom they considered their prey and who was already in dire straits, actually made this late-stage Golden Core sword cultivator feel a primal tremor and... danger!

That was not a pure force or pressure, but a more mysterious and profound "momentum" that seemed to have some inexplicable connection with this world!

But he was, after all, an elite of the "Hidden Sword" lineage of the Heavenly Sword Sect. With a resolute will and decisive killing ability, he instantly suppressed that slight tremor and replaced it with an even stronger killing intent and vigilance.

"Playing tricks! Form the 'Three Talents Annihilation Sword Formation'! Kill them quickly!" The sinister leader shouted, and the gray slender sword in his hand, which seemed to absorb light, emitted a sharp hum. Three twisted gray sword patterns, like the forked tongues of venomous snakes, appeared on the blade.

The other two mid-stage Golden Core Hidden Swordsmen did not hesitate and instantly moved to form a triangular formation around Shen Mo. Their movements were as fast as ghosts, and their coordination was seamless.

Three longswords were raised simultaneously, their tips pointing directly at Shen Mo. The sharp and pure sword intent was like three invisible mountains, crashing down and sealing off all of Shen Mo's escape space. There was also an invisible "annihilation" sword intent that was specifically aimed at the soul, like an ice needle, piercing Shen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness!

"punish!"

The three shouted in unison, and sword light erupted simultaneously! There was no dazzling brilliance, only three extremely refined gray lines, so fast that they almost exceeded the limits of visual perception, tearing through the air from three incredibly tricky angles, emitting a nearly silent, piercing shriek, aiming straight for Shen Mo's three vital points: his brow, throat, and heart!

These three sword strikes had brought the assassination essence of the "Hidden Sword" lineage to its extreme, seeking not to be flashy, but only to kill with a single blow! Wherever the sword light passed, even the bloodthirsty aura permeating the air was silently cut open, leaving three brief empty marks.
