Chapter 61: Beheading the Human Immortal

The Flag Gate Escape is an immortal method for beheading generals developed by immortals of the Middle Ages; the person who sets up the formation naturally knows every move of the enemy general who enters the formation.

Otherwise, how could one hide their figure to approach and kill the enemy in one move?

But the spatial range of the medieval immortal method Flag Gate Escape was extremely narrow.

Right on the battlefield, quickly inserting two large flags one in front of the other on the ground, the large flags transform into an archway, and the space between the two doors is the Flag Gate Space.

Moreover, those who drill into the Flag Gate Escape formation are often only one or two enemy generals, not too many people.

Now, the Banner-Hunting Immortal Kong Zan was far from having the heaven-shaking magic power of the Jie Sect elites during the Era of the Enthronement of Gods, yet he had shrouded the entire Flying Immortal Ferry in the Banner Gate Escape, and within the Banner Gate space were the Marquis of Lieyang and two or three thousand others (now more than half were dead, with fewer than a thousand remaining).

The Hunting Flag Immortal still has to put his main energy into the Three Thousand Fire Crow Formation.

After all, it was only because Feixian Ferry was narrow that the Three Thousand Fire Crow Army set up a defensive formation; they were not without countermeasures.

Now the Flag Gate Escape formation is consuming the Three Thousand Fire Crow Army, and the Three Thousand Fire Crow Army is also using blood-evil energy to wear down the "vitality" of the Flag Gate Escape.

Therefore, the Hunting Flag Immortal's perception of the edge of the Flag Gate Escape formation—such as the mountain cave wine cellar—is relatively blurry.

And Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's situation is also very special.

She met a good ghost, Duan Yuhan, and was led onto the "ghost Dao."

Humans have the human path, ghosts have the ghost path, so when the Flag Gate was set up on the east side of Feixian Ferry, Old Ghost Qin Squire saw him, but he didn't discover that there was an old ghost behind him.

If Squire Qin were a living person, with Kong Zan's realm, how could he have no perception at all?

Squire Qin getting lost was also because the Flag Gate Escape had not been activated after it was set up, and it had no influence on the space of the northeast road, only slightly distorting the ghost Dao near the formation eye.

The Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan had intended to kill Seeing Xiao Yu Yu casually.

The invisible blade that almost cut off Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's head came from his casual "flicking" within the Bagua Heavenly Blade formation.

After Seeing Xiao Yu Yu followed Duan Yuhan into the ghost Dao, although she was still in the Flag Gate Space, Kong Zan, who was focused on the Three Thousand Fire Crow Army in the distance, had even blurrier perception and could not accurately lock onto her position, unable to continue "sniping" from a distance.

At this moment, he personally entered the field, and his perception was much clearer, but he still had to spend some effort to block Seeing Xiao Yu Yu and Duan Yuhan, who were scurrying around on the ghost Dao.

Well, he is a Human Immortal after all, and within the Flag Gate Space, he discovered after approaching that it was an old ghost making trouble.

Now it's fine; that little girl was stupid herself, not only not quickening her pace to escape, but instead turning back to walk toward him, and even shouting "Father"... stupid enough to make one laugh.

"The voice is wrong! You, you are not my father."

He saw her expression stiffen, and she retreated repeatedly.

Unfortunately, it was too late; she was a human after all, not a ghost.

Now she was firmly locked by the Flag Gate Space and could not escape.

Even if it were an old ghost, he could behead him.

"Guan Huchen could accept you as an adopted daughter, and so can I. Regardless, Shaqiu is also considered one of the Thirty-Six Country Alliance; why must you recognize a thief as a father?" The Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan smiled indifferently.

"I have a foster father; a good daughter does not serve two fathers! Especially now, you and my foster father are enemies to each other; how can I betray my father and defect to the enemy?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was as resolute as the protagonist in the "Biographies of Exemplary Women."

"Well said!" Duan Yuhan, who was chasing from behind in a hurry and panic, was deeply moved again.

Well, Old Ghost Duan didn't run; he chased over.

Kong Zan didn't think so and said, "Guan Huchen is already dead."

"Did you kill my foster father? Why, we don't have the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill anymore; the divine pill was eaten by me!" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu cried out in grief and indignation.

—The divine pill has already been eaten, so hurry up and leave!

Even though the "Great Father-Destroyer" had already been triggered, she didn't want to fight the Hunting Flag Immortal to the death.

Not to mention the risk of fighting to the death, the Hunting Flag Immortal is not a loner.

The "Jade-faced Wenqu" Dou Yilin said directly, "The Western Eight Immortals, each showing their divine abilities."

Whether there are eight Human Immortals, she is not sure, but the number will only be more, not less.

The Hunting Flag Immortal is just one of the many immortals.

"So that's how it is."

Kong Zan looked her up and down, then sighed with annoyance, "I should have come earlier."

He believed it, and he also suddenly realized.

Earlier, he was still surprised that the "god among swords" who killed eight Shu elites in the wine cellar was such a small girl.

Now he understood; she has an innate divine ability of the sword Dao, so it's not strange.

"Since the divine pill has been used by you, then you go."

Kong Zan sighed with bad luck and waved his hand lightly to let her roll away.

"Thank you, General, for not killing me!"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was stunned for a long while—striving for time to digest the "Method to Destroy Kong Zan" that had just been deduced in her mind—before bowing and saluting with a grateful expression, and then turning around with a relaxed expression, even the Dragon Kiss she had drawn earlier was "clanged" back into its scabbard.

The moment she turned around, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's eyes were as sharp as swords, and a bit of thick killing intent condensed in her pupils.

The moment Seeing Xiao Yu Yu turned around, Kong Zan's helplessness and regret were replaced by indifference, and his eyes were also as sharp as swords.

—Being able to behead eight elite soldiers wearing iron armor and practicing internal qi in the blink of an eye, what kind of terrifying sword Dao divine ability is this?! Moreover, she has taken the divine pill that changes fate against heaven, and her divine ability will be elevated by another notch.

If they were to tear their faces apart head-on, it would be no surprise if she brought him some unexpected surprises and accidents.

Before leaving the "Bagua Heavenly Blade formation platform," Old Dou had repeatedly urged him to return quickly once he got the divine pill.

Now is the critical moment of "Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun," and he has no time or energy to experience small surprises and accidents.

Therefore, it is better to behead her cleanly.

Silently, Kong Zan's figure disappeared completely.

The next instant, he appeared behind Seeing Xiao Yu Yu.

What was revealed and could be seen by human eyes was a three-foot-long, two-finger-wide snow-white blade, like lightning tearing through the night sky, appearing directly on the back of Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's neck.

And at this moment, the hilt, the hand holding the hilt, and Kong Zan himself were still invisible.

It was as if the person was hiding in some pocket space, with only half a blade sticking out.

"Sigh, a little disappointed..."

A light sigh reached Kong Zan's ears; his pupils contracted, and the figure of the eldest Miss Yu disappeared before his eyes.

Clearly, the blade appeared directly on the back of her neck.

Clearly, the three-foot straight blade was as swift as lightning, yet it missed.

It was as if they were cooperating in a routine; he slashed from behind, and she turned around and dodged it just right...

"Puchi!"

The cold sword edge stuck to the gap between her ribs and precisely stabbed into the heart beating thumping in her chest.

Kong Zan seemed to hear the sound of the heart exploding.

"How could this be?" More daze remained in his mind.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu held the hilt and stirred it in a circle, pulled it out lightly, and then sent it fiercely into Kong Zan's left neck.

"Puchi!" The Dragon Kiss sword pierced through his entire neck.

Only then did Seeing Xiao Yu Yu say gloomily, "The Flag Gate Escape you practice, what is the situation, don't you know yourself?

Perhaps it interfered with the normal operation of space-time to a certain extent through heaven and earth energy, but its essence is still an illusion that disturbs the five senses and the mind."

Previously, she had always thought that "Flag Gate Space" was an immortal technique that purely manipulated spatial laws and spatial power.

After all, she took one step and appeared directly outside the wine cellar, and there were invisible blades appearing on her head like teleportation, almost splitting her in two.

It wasn't until Kong Zan triggered the "Great Father-Destroyer" and she deduced the "Method to Destroy Kong Zan" through the Purple Mansion that Seeing Xiao Yu Yu knew the Flag Gate Escape was not a space-time immortal technique, but an illusion that manipulated the five senses and the mind.

This is also very terrifying.

All five senses are disordered, and the mind is also plunged into confusion; the Flag Gate Escape master lets you feel what is true, and you feel it is true. From the effect, it is even more overbearing than truly disordered space-time.

But it is not a space-time immortal technique after all.

If it were a space-time immortal technique, Kong Zan would be hiding in another dimension, just like Obito in "Naruto," and she would never be able to stab him no matter what.

She does not have the power to break through the space-time barrier.

Because the Flag Gate Escape is an illusion, he was actually standing behind her, but all the five senses and mind-senses that looked at him and perceived him were distorted and deformed. So as long as she found the right direction, the sword would definitely be able to stab the target.

"Impossible..." Kong Zan's body swayed, one hand covering his chest, the other covering his neck, spitting out large pieces of purple-red foam from his mouth. "Cultivators in the world with knowledge all know that the Flag Gate Escape is an illusion.

But I have never encountered anyone who can break it head-on.

Even the Lieyang Marquis cannot do it.

He understands the Flag Gate Escape, so he lets the Eight Immortals show their divine abilities, and the military formation remains unmoved.

Dare not move.

Even his divine sense has been distorted in direction and space-time sense."

This is the truth.

The Flag Gate Escape had already become famous in the world as early as the Enthronement of Gods period, and there are many cultivators who know it is an illusion.

In fact, experienced immortal cultivators can guess it is an illusion from the method of setting up the formation where flags turn into archways.

Illusion is not low-class either.

After all, cultivation is about practicing the false to become true.

The Flag Gate Escape almost achieved the manipulation of space-time with illusion.

"Why aren't you dead yet?" Hearing him say a lot, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu didn't show off her awesomeness, but was very vigilant, and as she opened her mouth to ask, she approached his back again, "Tearing Heaven Sword!"

"Puchi!"

Kong Zan's head tilted and rolled onto the ground.

"What a fierce dog thief, actually doing things so absolutely, completely destroying my dharma body."

Kong Zan's expression instantly became extremely vicious, his eyes full of despair and endless hatred.

"The head is gone, yet you can still speak, you..."

Before Seeing Xiao Yu Yu could finish speaking, she felt an extremely sharp fierce aura rushing toward her face.

"Miss Yu, be careful, he has turned into a fierce ghost!"

Duan Yuhan recovered from the shock of the young lady killing a Human Immortal and opened his throat to let out a sharp ghost cry.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu had no time to listen to his prompt.

In an instant, her scalp went numb, her whole body's muscles tightened, "Tiger Roar Sword! (Tiger Roar Blade)"

"Roar!" Her soul turned into a ten-foot-tall fierce tiger, crashing head-on into the blood-colored ghost shadow (the cultivator's yin spirit) that was pouncing over.

Silently, her soul and Kong Zan's yin spirit had a fierce collision.

"Mmm~~~" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu retreated two steps, blood threads flowing from her seven orifices except for her ears.

"You are looking for death!" She didn't retreat, but instead was filled with rage, activating the fierce tiger divine intent again.

However, this time she didn't make a mistake; she didn't directly use the fierce tiger simulated by her soul to collide with someone else's yin spirit that had been cultivated for who knows how many years.

She introduced the "fierce tiger sword intent" into the sword bone, using her body as a sword, and performed the "Ghost-Beheading Sword (Ghost-Beheading Blade)" with the "body sword," slashing at Kong Zan's yin spirit that was pouncing over fiercely again.

"Hum hum hum~~~~" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu seemed to have truly turned into an unsheathed divine sword.

Her body surface was actually covered with a layer of sharp blood-red fierce tiger evil aura, and there were clear and loud sword sounds coming from her body.

In Duan Yuhan's eyes, the young lady had indeed turned into a ten-foot-long great sword.

A black tiger was crouching on the great sword, and the sword body was surrounded by a layer of black-red evil aura that made him feel terrified and stinging.

Although his soul body was eroded by the evil aura, he didn't retreat, "The fierce ghost is coming again, be careful~~ uh~~"

Kong Zan was as fierce and full of resentment as before, but this time he was like cowhide armor hitting a sword edge; although he could see his toughness, he was still split in two by the sharp sword edge.

"This is... your sword Dao divine ability, the god among swords? Indeed, such sharp sword intent~~~"

This was the last sentence Seeing Xiao Yu Yu heard from Kong Zan.

"Miss Yu, be careful, someone else is coming!"

Duan Yuhan endured the pain of the fierce tiger evil aura eroding his soul body and let out a shrill ghost cry again.

"Whoosh~~~"

Before the person arrived, a cold light tore through the thick fog and arrived in front of Seeing Xiao Yu Yu one step ahead.

It was a three-foot flying sword shining with silver light! ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
