Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1209 - 131: Annihilation!

This all happened too fast.

In the blink of an eye.

Xie Xuanyi, with Nalan Qiutong, crashed into the "Iron Curtain."

The Shadow’s expression suddenly darkened. Instead of following closely, he stepped back a few paces, distancing himself further from the "Inner Court."

This Yang God Puppet, controlled by the Xuanwei Technique, squinted his eyes, watching the pitch-black courtyard shrouded in countless iron lines with a changeable expression. The sincerity, seriousness, and desire for fairness that once filled his face were now replaced with cold killing intent.

"Boom!"

As Xie Xuanyi crashed into the "Iron Curtain," a rumble immediately echoed in his ears.

A Sword Cultivator is inherently sensitive.

Before stepping into the Inner Court.

His Heart Lake showed no significant anomalies...

But now, it was completely different.

The moment he stepped into the Inner Court, his Heart Lake turned upside down, signaling extremely dangerous foreboding!

Thinking about it, the Iron Curtain as a national guardian heavy weapon must have a mysterious function of shielding outsiders from the inner secrets... If he’s not mistaken, the methods laid within the Iron Curtain could not be detected or responded to by a Sword Cultivator’s Heart Lake in advance.

Xie Xuanyi suddenly halted.

Between his eyebrows, a golden brilliance ignited, sweeping with his Divine Thought—

Only to see directly above on the pitch-black sky.

An extremely domineering Sword Aura unpredictably slashed down!

The booming sound, the crisis in the Heart Lake, all came from this!

"What a fast blade!"

Xie Xuanyi’s pupils contracted.

This strike was extremely swift, giving him minimal reaction time, and it headed straight for his forehead.

Just as his Divine Thought sensed it, the overwhelming Sword Aura was already descending upon his forehead.

Boom boom!

The Martial Arts Divine Embryo manifested in an instant, striking with both fists.

This was the only countermeasure Xie Xuanyi had time to implement...

The golden divine fetus confronted with both fists, pounding against the Sword Aura. The Inner Court’s long night burst into a momentary flare, immediately extinguished by the pitch-black Sword Aura. The outcome was determined in an instant.

"Path of Destruction?!"

Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake shook, incredulous.

Within this strike, he sensed a killing intent that shared a common origin.

His Martial Arts Divine Embryo was utterly unable to withstand the Path of Destruction of the Yang God Realm, getting entangled for a fleeting moment before being torn and shattered, leaving only a trace of golden Primordial Energy returning to his body.

"Boom boom boom!"

The blade’s force was unending, becoming even more turbulent after shattering the Divine Embryo!

Xie Xuanyi made a decisive decision.

He directly abandoned Nalan Qiutong, pushing her out.

"!!!"

Nalan Qiutong looked pale, disbelief written all over her face as she witnessed this scene.

The man named Xie, is he truly the Da Sui Sword Immortal?

His style is no different from those unscrupulous evil cultivators in the South Border!

The Sword Aura indeed withdrew.

"Ha..."

A low chuckle echoed in the night.

Pushed out by Xie Xuanyi, Nalan Qiutong was caught mid-air by a surging force, whisked away by it.

The Sword Aura receded.

The pitch-black sharpness swept the Heavenly Peak, falling in a flurry.

Falling under the tree in the Inner Court.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi pushed out several dozen feet, his expression unpleasant.

At this moment, within his Dantian, the Undying Spring was surging back and forth, boiling together with the Life Dao Realm, producing rolling snow-white steam on top of his head.

If not for the Undying Spring and Life Dao Realm.

This single strike could have severely injured him!

He unleashed a strand of Divine Thought.

Golden Sword Qi resounded in the air above the Inner Court, spreading like fireworks, briefly illuminating the view within the "Iron Curtain" Great Domain.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, tall in stature with a black blade at his waist, sat under a tree in the courtyard.

Behind him.

A cocoon, densely entwined by black lines, covered an area of nearly nine feet.

Nalan Xuance had indeed laid a bait in the Inner Court.

In this Great Domain, he set up a small domain.

Obviously...

The defeated Chen Chong was trapped in that cocoon of black lines, personally guarded by this middle-aged man with the black blade.

As for the guardian’s identity, it was not hard to guess.

Among the cultivators who comprehended the Annihilation Dao Realm under heaven...

There are only a few.

After Lian Venerate’s fall.

The master of the Annihilation Dao remained only the Sect Master of the One-Slash Sect, Luo Lie!

"Master Luo."

Xie Xuanyi wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, smiling softly, "So... it was you..."

Actually, before entering the mansion.

Xie Xuanyi had made numerous plans, the worst being Nalan Xuance’s escape.

But.

He never expected that tonight’s "crisis" at the Crown Prince Mansion would come not from Nalan Xuance but from Luo Lie! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But upon careful thought, it’s reasonable.

The Buddhist Order had made various arrangements for tonight, and Nalan Xuance naturally had to respond with all his might.

Even if Nalan Xuance discerned tonight’s show at the Imperial City was Fan Yin Temple’s carefully designed "please-enter-the-trap," he still had to cooperate.

And to stabilize the Crown Prince Mansion, a sufficiently powerful Yang Shen cultivator was needed to hold the fort.

This person, who must be incredibly powerful and trusted deeply by Qian State.

Had to be... Luo Lie!

"Xie Xuanyi, so it is you after all."

Luo Lie sat in the pitch-black courtyard, drinking strong alcohol in solitude.

After Nalan Xuance suppressed Chen Chong and completed this Inner Court setup, he informed Luo Lie, bringing him from the One-Slash Sect.

Though the Iron Curtain could not predict a complete future Cause and Effect Line like the Roundness Instrument, it enveloped the entire Da Li, spying on countless corners.

From the information gathered by the Iron Curtain.

Nalan Xuance... had already guessed the moves of the Buddhist holder of the chess piece.

Luo Lie only needed to wait for one night.

If nothing occurred, all the better!

If anyone entered this domain, then he would strike out and kill them!

Nalan Xuance had informed Luo Lie in advance that if someone came to the mansion, it was highly likely... to be Xie Xuanyi of the Da Chu Dynasty!

Luo Lie initially had some doubts about this message.

Until he saw it with his own eyes.

All he could say was that the State Preceptor lived up to his reputation, as tonight’s Crown Prince Mansion setup was excellent.

Nalan Xuance inviting Luo Lie to guard the courtyard was a covert move, a secret he hadn’t shared with anyone! Not even his Direct Disciple, Nalan Qiutong, knew!

One must say...

This move was quite effective.

If it were known in advance that the Sect Master of the One-Slash Sect was guarding the Inner Court.

Then earlier, as Nalan Qiutong walked the corridor, the secret might have accidentally been exposed, or perhaps Xie Xuanyi’s keen Heart Lake would have perceived it.

The killing trap was set, but there was a single pity.

The State Preceptor underestimated this brat Xie’s shamelessness...

Though he was working for the Buddhist Order, he took a hostage.

"..."

Luo Lie sighed softly, putting down the drinking cup.

If it weren’t for Nalan Qiutong being in the way, that earlier strike would have already resolved all troubles.

At the courtyard’s rear.

Nalan Qiutong stumbled to the ground. Clinging to an ancient tree, she barely maintained her balance, her face ghostly pale.

Life and death hinged on a single thought.

She had believed... she was bound to die...

Yet, having narrowly escaped with her life, Nalan Qiutong quickly spoke: "Thank you, Master Luo, for your rescue... Xie Xuanyi is incredibly cunning, please be very careful, Master Luo..."

Luo Lie responded with a hum, waving his hand.

Nalan Qiutong dared not linger.

She swiftly retreated, exiting through the Inner Court’s back door, leaving the domain shrouded by the "Iron Curtain."
