Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1212 - 133: Court Killings_2
But if one were to confront an enemy.
This Swallowing Dao Scroll is already enough to threaten most Yang God cultivators!
Without any warning, the Tao Realm twisted abruptly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Directly causing Luo Lie to fall from the "Yang God Realm", unable to activate the Path of Destruction in the instant of blade drawing!
It’s just that.
Although the divine power is strong, it also has limitations.
Xie Xuanyi is, after all, attacking from below; this Swallowing Dao Scroll, when first unleashed, can achieve miraculous effects. Previously, during his rapid assault in the Inner Court, he was able to easily cleave through Sword Aura, but upon the second activation, close range and sudden, Luo Lie was clearly prepared, making the Tao Realm twisting difficult, and the latter had already prepared a fallback similar to the Divine Embryo Technique.
Each subsequent use of the Swallowing Dao Scroll will become more difficult and its effect worse.
All this happens extremely quickly.
From the moment Xie Xuanyi starts running to suppressing Luo Lie, it only takes a single breath.
Just as a golden light emerged from Xie Xuanyi’s brow, preparing to summon the Sword Qi Cave Heaven...
The shadow entering the Inner Court suddenly moved.
This Yang God Realm puppet, whose level is clearly inferior, possesses extremely high Spirit Wisdom. After stepping into the Iron Curtain Domain, it has been constantly on guard against Xie Xuanyi launching a sudden attack. At this moment, seeing Master Luo fall into peril, it steps forward immediately, wielding long and short blades, sweeping towards Xie Xuanyi’s heart like flowing water.
"Scram!"
Xie Xuanyi did not look back; before the wind was raised, his Divine Thought sensed the shadow’s action.
The young Sword Immortal in black coldly uttered a word.
The golden divine fetus turned around and hurled a heavy punch.
The shadow, sweeping the ground, was stopped by the divine fetus’s punch to its waist, instantly thrown out, looking exceedingly miserable and battered, but in the void, countless black threads grew instantly, stopping it mid-air, and a huge web formed, enveloping him.
He was never the sort to engage in frontal duels, nor did he fear the strong offensive means of powerful attacks.
The next moment.
The shadow collided like a cannonball, faster than before!
The divine fetus punched again.
The shadow returned after withdrawing.
Only after two strikes did Xie Xuanyi understand the uniqueness of the shadow... This Yang God Realm puppet is a method devised by Nalan Xuance specifically within the [Iron Curtain] domain. Since Mechanical Techniques are Lower Nine Stream Techniques, no matter how much effort is spent, a constructed puppet can never compare to a real cultivator.
Therefore.
Nalan Xuance doesn’t care about the quality of the shadow.
If he can create a puppet with the "Martial Arts Saint Body," the Da Li National Master would be very satisfied.
The second thing he did... was inject a large amount of Taoist Intent into this puppet body, perfectly fusing it with the Xuanwei Technique.
The existence of the shadow is not meant to defeat Yang God Realm cultivators; indeed, it’s fair to say that all Yang God Realm cultivators in the world are stronger than the shadow.
Even those pseudo-saints of half-step Yang God Realm.
Can exchange a few moves with the shadow.
But...
Even for a Great Practitioner like Luo Lie at this level, trying to kill the shadow within the [Iron Curtain] domain is extremely difficult.
The Iron Curtain Domain covering the Inner Court spans roughly a hundred feet radius. Within this range, there are at least tens of millions of black soul lines hanging down. Although Nalan Xuance is a thousand miles away, the dense soul lines he left behind, each and every one is connected to the shadow.
As long as the soul lines remain, the shadow won’t perish.
This is what makes the shadow so frustrating and tricky.
Attempting to annihilate its flesh body in one blow is nearly impossible.
Unless Zhao Chunyang, a peak cultivator at that level, strikes, erasing the sacred body shell entirely in one blow.
Otherwise.
You can only break through the [Iron Curtain] domain, sever all soul lines, to temporarily kill the shadow!
"Devouring... Soul!"
Just two charges.
Were enough to give Xie Xuanyi quite a headache.
He frowned slightly, unleashed the third Primordial Swallowing Divine Power.
This time, the Divine Embryo Seal faced the shadow head-on, blasting towards its brow; perhaps sensing that this strike was not purely brute force, or perhaps preemptively perceiving danger... the shadow did not receive the attack like before but instead temporarily changed its route, abruptly lowered its body, aimed a lethal stab at Xie Xuanyi’s true body’s back.
"Great Li Mechanism Technique... far more refined than the Corpse Refining Technique of Heavenly Puppet Sect..."
This single change in move caused Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake to sink.
He had previously played against Mo Taoist and Daoist Bai.
The corpse puppets crafted by these two pseudo-saints, although abundant in number, are completely outmatched by the shadow in terms of realm.
Even if Mo Taoist and Daoist Bai were given a complete Promotion Stele for advancing to Yang God, they could not be Nalan Xuance’s opponents. The shadow not only possesses the Martial Arts Saint Body but also has high combat intelligence, knows how to change formations, evade attacks, and greatly limit its opponent—
It is simply a perfect material for raiding formations.
Even in Yang God confrontations, it’s extremely useful!
Swoosh!
The shadow suddenly shifted formations, its body ethereal as a butterfly, the divine fetus plummeted downward again, blocking its front once more.
With a thought, Xie Xuanyi positioned the Martial Arts Divine Embryo across his back, extending a hand once again... but this time he offered the "shadow" a rather tempting sight.
The divine fetus extended its palm, pressing toward the shadow’s brow.
Ignoring the blade momentum of the long and short blades entirely.
This is...
An exchange of injuries!
For the Shadow, this was almost the scene they most wanted to see.
With the support of the Iron Curtain and countless soul lines pulling, he didn’t care about a singular hit... but the damage to the divine embryo required consuming a large amount of vitality and primordial energy for repair.
This Yang God Puppet which just entered the Great Domain hadn’t seen the previous confrontations between Luo Lie and Xie Xuanyi, and hesitated only for a moment before making a decision.
The long and short blades cut down like flowing water, slicing off one arm of the Martial Arts Divine Embryo!
Xie Xuanyi paid the price of a severed divine embryo arm to fully unleash the divine skill.
"Devour... Soul!"
Golden divine embryo’s eyes burst with killing intent.
The other hand smoothly pressed against the Shadow’s brow.
A loud boom.
Smoothly executed.
This hit directly knocked the Shadow back a hundred meters, with countless soul lines trying to imitate the previous scene, forming a soul net in the void to catch the puppet and complete the repair... but Xie Xuanyi’s "Soul Devouring Divine Power" temporarily shattered the Shadow’s divine sea.
Those soul lines shattered upon touch.
Apart from this.
This palm also carried Xie Xuanyi’s Path of Destruction intent.
Ultimately, the Shadow was knocked out of the inner court, crashing through the Iron Curtain domain.
Xie Xuanyi’s heart lake wasn’t at ease.
Though they temporarily resolved a troublesome existence, the Shadow’s goal was already achieved.
Xie Xuanyi’s use of three consecutive divine skills, creating the perfect opportunity, was dragged away by the Shadow...
In these three or four moments of exchange between the divine embryo and the Shadow.
Luo Lie had already completed his adjustments.
The Swallowing Dao Scroll couldn’t retain the perfected Path of Destruction intent.
That piercing coldness swept again, looming oppressively over Xie Xuanyi’s head.
"Truly... youth is to be feared..."
Xie Xuanyi lowered his head, looking down at Luo Lie with a grim expression.
This sect master of the One Slash Sect let out a low sigh.
Ka.
Ka.
The long blade slowly lifted.
His suppression faded at an extremely fast speed.
Luo Lie pressed his hands on the long blade, and after two or three moments, his knees straightened from slightly bent, completely recovering.
He slowly raised his head, spoke hoarsely: "Without the Shadow, perhaps you really had a chance to assassinate successfully."
The battle opportunity was fleeting.
At this moment, Luo Lie had already regained control over this world.
"If you truly decided to exchange injury for injury, you should have been even more ruthless..."
The sect master of One Slash Sect said firmly and expressionlessly: "Only by not fearing death can one truly live."
"Is it so?"
Xie Xuanyi was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "It seems I should have used the Lifebound Flying Sword earlier, directly to attack Sect Master Luo..."
Upon these words.
Luo Lie paused slightly.
Lifebound Flying Sword?
He suddenly realized something, earlier Xie Xuanyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword, after being repelled by "Great Annihilation," had been suspended in the sky, never to appear again.
Wait.
It didn’t not appear.
But in... the prior confrontation, his whole divine thought had been attracted by Xie Xuanyi’s two divine skills, completely neglecting the flying sword’s movements.
He abruptly moved his gaze behind him.
Only to see beneath the inner court tree, where a human-shaped cocoon, wrapped and entangled in countless dark soul lines.
At some point, a golden flying sword was inserted.
When ordinary flying swords fall on the cocoon, they are immediately repelled.
But [Chen Ke] doesn’t...
The tip of the flying sword, mere steps away from condensing the overwhelming Path of Destruction intent, cascaded down like a waterfall, spreading, covering!
Ka-ka-ka-ka.
The Iron Curtain encasing the inner court now echoed with the dense sound of breaking.
A wisp of white lightning.
Seeped out through the cracks of the shattered cocoon!
