Chapter 353

"Hmph... Shangren Yixing has a name but no substance."

High in the sky, a strange flying bird scattered hazy, illusory radiance, obscuring a piece of the void.

On the cloud bed, Great Zhenjun Yu Xue snorted coldly: "If we all swarm in, that Immortal Taibai will definitely run away directly. Although sword cultivators are incomparably arrogant, they are not fools. This Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation is the arena he set up. If we follow his rules, he gives us the opportunity to catch him. If we don't follow the rules, he will definitely flee far away... even the 'Mountain and River Map' won't have time to be deployed."

While speaking, he looked at Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun.

In Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun's hand, he was holding a picture scroll, on which there were mountains, rivers, and the myriad states of human life.

Accompanied by Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun's chanting, streaks of light overflowed from the 'Mountain and River Map' and submerged into the surrounding void.

"The Mountain and River Map has the effect of sealing the void. After I finish casting the spell, teleportation will not be possible here, whether it's a teleportation array, escape talisman, or even Nascent Soul teleportation..."

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun smiled slightly: "But it doesn't matter... the Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation originally has the ability to seal the void, so it doesn't count as helping the enemy, right?"

"If we delay too long, Immortal Taibai might kill to his heart's content and take the initiative to leave."

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue said leisurely: "Therefore... the most suitable thing at the moment is to send out nine Nascent Soul mid-stage combat powers to make an attempt."

Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators are relatively rare, but Nascent Soul mid-stage combat power is much broader.

For example, Fang Xing's cultivation avatar can certainly be counted as Nascent Soul mid-stage combat power now.

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue continued to transmit via divine sense.

A moment later, led by Zhenjun Wan Shou, Sword Lord Qingzhu, and the Cloud-Rain Pair, and assisted by Nascent Soul cultivators like Shangren Yixing, they gathered nine Nascent Soul mid-stage combat powers and killed their way directly into the Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation.

"Haha... they are just as I wished."

Inside the sword formation, Immortal Taibai was very satisfied when he saw this scene: "The large formation forms a space of its own; I can finally test my sword one by one!"

His eyes were like electricity, staring directly at Sword Lord Qingzhu: "The sword formation technique is quite interesting. I'll choose you first."

With a flash of light, when Immortal Taibai appeared again, he had already arrived opposite Sword Lord Qingzhu.

His expression was solemn, and he performed an ancient ritual: "The sword is named 'Taibai', forged from Taibai gold essence, one foot three inches long. Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist!"

This is the etiquette of sword cultivators fighting with swords; before striking, one introduces their own flying sword.

In the Cultivation World, other magic treasures might not have rankings.

But various flying swords are famous along with the sword cultivators. The former Profound Heaven Sect even compiled the "Si Si Ming Jian Manual", divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human rankings, evaluating fifth, fourth, and third-grade flying swords...

As for those below the third grade, they don't even count as life-bound flying swords. In the eyes of the Profound Heaven Sect, they naturally don't deserve to be called flying swords; at most, they can only be called sword-shaped dharma artifacts or spirit artifacts...

Every time the "Si Si Ming Jian Manual" was republished, it was a major event in the Cultivation World.

Unfortunately, since the destruction of the Profound Heaven Sect, the "Si Si Ming Jian Manual" has become a lost echo.

When Immortal Taibai performed the ritual, his dantian hummed, and a white-gold flying sword phantom emerged, emitting a clear sword chime.

"What a good life-bound flying sword. The purity of its sword light is the only one I have seen in my life."

Sword Lord Qingzhu sighed: "If the Profound Heaven Sect were still here, your 'Taibai' would definitely be in the top ten of the Earth Ranking!"

He also pinched a sword seal, and a flying sword overflowing with green wood spirit Qi emerged: "The sword is named 'Qingli', made mainly of ten-thousand-year 'Green Dragon Wood', two feet three inches long, weighing ninety-nine catties. Please enlighten me!"

Sword Lord Qingzhu led the sword seal, and the flying sword phantom in his hand instantly transformed from one to two, two to four, four to eight... filling the sky with green sword light, forming a sword formation like a lush green bamboo forest.

"Flashy..."

Immortal Taibai stroked the 'Taibai Sword' in his hand and shouted: "When I become a Great Zhenjun, the Taibai Sword will definitely be in the top three of the Earth Ranking!"

He moved his sword seal, and the light filling the sky dimmed; it seemed there was only one sword between heaven and earth!

The "Killing Sword Canon" is extremely emotional and self-centered. At this moment, one sword thrust out, and heaven and earth were filled with killing intent. That wood-attribute sword formation dimmed and withered with a bang...

A white-hot sword light pierced into the sword formation filled with autumn sorrow. A moment later, the sword formation dissipated with a bang.

Only a green Nascent Soul remained, holding a small green sword in its hand, its face full of panic, wanting to break into the Grand Void teleportation.

"Restrict!"

Seeing this scene, Immortal Taibai sneered immediately, a restriction radiance appearing on the flying sword in his hand, commanding the Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation.

Streaks of silver-white light pillars fell, like a prison, forcing Sword Lord Qingzhu's Nascent Soul out of the void.

Subsequently, the Taibai Sword transformed into a streak of white light, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, piercing through the green Nascent Soul.

A scream!

Immortal Taibai withdrew his flying sword and waved his hand to disperse the sword light, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

In his dantian, the life-bound sword Nascent Soul smiled and pulled with its right hand, drawing a small 'Taibai Sword' from its body.

At this moment, a faint bloodstain actually appeared on the blade of the Taibai Sword!

"The first one!"

Immortal Taibai muttered to himself, his eyes full of killing intent and bloodthirsty madness, as he rushed toward the next formation gate...

"Good!"

At the center of the Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation, Master Huolong saw this scene through the Universe Mirror, and a trace of joy couldn't help but appear on his face.

"After all, it's only the first one. If he didn't have this combat power, yet rashly lured so many Nascent Soul Zhenjuns here, and still wanted to perform the 'Nine-Child Mother Divine Nascent Soul Sword Refining Technique' breakthrough, then he would have already gone mad..."

Fang Xing shook his head; he didn't think much of Immortal Taibai.

"Count Taibai as lucky to have met me this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have been schemed to death..."

He took a step out and arrived outside the Bai Hu Seven-Kill Sword Formation.

The Nascent Soul Zhenjuns outside moved their divine sense and saw a figure shrouded in blood-colored mist walk out of the sword formation, holding a blood-colored flying sword in his hand.

"Who are you?"

"A remnant of the Profound Heaven Sect?"

"Doesn't the Killing Sword lineage only pass on to one person per generation?"

"Heaven gives birth to all things to nourish man, man has only one killing to repay heaven, kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

Fang Xing let out a long whistle, and the phantom of the rotten iron sword in his hand struck instantly.

Shoo!

A blood-colored sword light attacked instantly, killing a Nascent Soul early-stage Zhenjun!

When his head fell, the look of astonishment on his face hadn't even appeared yet!

"Great Freedom Profound Jin Jian Qi, instant kill number one!"

"It's the Jin Jian lineage!"

"Attack!"

The remaining Nascent Soul Zhenjuns showed fear. After all, this Blood Sword Lord's cultivation was at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, and his flying sword technique was incomparably sharp.

Fang Xing succeeded with one sword, but immediately moved his sword and left.

He merged with the sword, raising his sword escape speed to the limit, moving with ease among the many Nascent Soul Zhenjuns.

Even if the other Nascent Soul Zhenjuns cast high-power spells, they were afraid of hurting their companions.

Wandering and fighting, this is the essence of fighting one against ten, or a hundred.

In sword cultivator combat, if one strike doesn't hit, you flee a hundred miles, and then start over!

... High in the sky.

"Jin Jian lineage?"

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue stood up, his eyes shining: "I didn't expect... to be able to get another Profound Iron Sword Token. It is rumored that if the five great tokens are combined, one can open the secret realm deep within the Profound Heaven Sect. That is the ultimate foundation of a Holy Land..."

"Go!"

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun rubbed his hands together and spread them toward the sky.

The 'Mountain and River Map' transformed into a phantom of the nation, completely merging with this heaven and earth: "The void is sealed. This time, it's catching a turtle in a jar."

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the spirit pet flying bird that was scattering illusory, hazy radiance screamed, its demon body exploded with a bang, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

Fang Xing's main body walked over step by step from the void, a trace of surprise appearing on his face: "Two Great Zhenjuns... the Second Nascent Soul is in luck. If things go well, I might really be able to get a big harvest this time and promote to the Nascent Soul late stage!"

"My 'Phantom Cloud Bird'..."

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun looked pained, then looked at Fang Xing: "Body cultivator? How did you discover the Phantom Cloud Bird's disguise?"

"Hehe, I never explain to dead people."

Fang Xing sneered and slapped out with one palm.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the other party that although this strange flying bird's concealment ability was very strong, under the reconnaissance of the 'Mingkun', it was as if it didn't exist.

After all, most of the methods in the Cultivation World are used to defend against cultivators. Facing this kind of cosmic high-tech detector that can scan millions of miles in an instant, it was like having no defense at all.

Boom!

Under the Heaven-Covering Hand, both Great Zhenjun Yu Xue and Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun felt a violent threat that the void in all directions was condensing into rock, pressing down on them.

The Star Martial Nine Absolutes created by Fang Xing naturally increased in power as his realm improved.

With his current realm and technique, once the Heaven-Covering Hand was released, its power approached the Great Sun Tathagata Palm he performed when he was just a Martial Saint—of course, the version that didn't consume Great Sun divinity.

"Body cultivator Great Zhenjun?"

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue roared, and a blood-colored long saber appeared in his hand.

This long saber was slender, and it seemed as if countless blood plasmas were condensing on it, transforming into a long river of blood.

In the long river of blood, countless blood-red runes were swimming.

After operating the demonic technique, a True Demon Dharma Image appeared behind Great Zhenjun Yu Xue.

It was nine zhang tall, wearing dark red armor with countless ancient runes on it, wearing a bull-horned helmet, with a pair of incomparably red eyes, but its face was pitch black.

At this moment, the True Demon Dharma Image roared, holding the blood-colored long saber spirit treasure, and slashed down with a bang!

Bang!

The palm print in the sky and the blood-red saber light consumed each other crazily, and streaks of Qi and strength fell on the True Demon Dharma Image, actually causing it to become riddled with holes!

"My Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Wei Shentong? Actually inferior?"

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue showed surprise: "Fellow Daoist Master Xu Yun, be careful of this person, he is definitely not comparable to an ordinary Great Zhenjun!"

After one move, he had already suffered a small loss. Naturally, this Great Hall Master of Yu Hua Hall dared not be negligent.

Just as Great Zhenjun Yu Xue spoke, behind Fang Xing, colors flickered in the void.

A sharp claw emerged.

It seemed to suddenly emerge from the void, covered in chameleon-like protective colors, and its aura was restrained to the point of being almost non-existent.

Even a Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun, if ambushed by this spirit beast, would suffer a big loss if they were not careful!

Crack!

The beast claw smashed into Fang Xing's back with the force of ten thousand catties, but was blocked by a layer of tough Qi.

Fang Xing's body didn't move a single bit.

"A fourth-grade mid-stage spirit pet? And it has this kind of invisibility and concealment supernatural power, truly not bad..."

He twisted his body, grabbed the beast claw, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Get out here!"

Fang Xing exerted force with both hands and immediately grabbed the strange spirit pet that was attacking invisibly. It was a demon beast that looked like a tiger and a leopard, and its whole body was covered with a layer of chameleon-like scales.

"Release this old man's 'Phantom Shape Beast'!"

Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun roared, and a Three-Treasure Ruyi spirit treasure fell with a bang, smashing onto Fang Xing.

Great Zhenjun Yu Xue waved the crimson long saber in his hand, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart: 'I didn't expect Master Xu Yun to be so patient. Besides the 'Phantom Cloud Bird', he also secretly subdued a fourth-grade mid-stage 'Phantom Shape Beast', tsk tsk...'

The Phantom Shape Beast is famous in the Hanhai Cultivation World because its invisibility supernatural power can evade Nascent Soul divine sense. It was extremely rare in ancient times, and in the current era, it is even regarded as extinct.

A fourth-grade mid-stage Phantom Shape Beast is enough to deceive the divine sense of a Great Zhenjun, and even succeed in an ambush.

Even Great Zhenjun Yu Xue felt a chill down his back when he thought about Great Zhenjun Master Xu Yun having this kind of spirit beast.

Bang bang!

The Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi and the blood-colored long saber hit Fang Xing's back one after another, making a dull sound.

Fang Xing's physique was originally his strongest point, capable of catching fourth-grade high-grade spirit treasures with his hands. Now, after being tempered by the 'Nine-Source Star Body Refining Secret Technique', it is almost comparable to a fifth-grade body cultivator!

Being fiercely attacked by two Great Zhenjuns holding spirit treasures, he still remained like a towering mountain, proudly motionless.

"Die!"

He grabbed the two beast claws of the Phantom Shape Beast with both hands, roared, and his arms suddenly exerted force.

Rip!

The fourth-grade mid-stage Phantom Shape Beast let out a sad cry, as if it were being torn apart by five horses. The tough torso of the demon beast was torn apart alive, and a fist-sized essence spirit pill flew out from it, with a phantom of a very cute little beast cub inside.

However, due to the blockade of the Mountain and River Map, this essence spirit pill could not escape into the void at all and could only retreat as a streak of light.

"Hmph!"

Fang Xing snorted coldly, his mental power like a thin needle, piercing into the essence spirit pill, immediately causing the Phantom Shape Beast's essence spirit to scream and dissipate instantly.

The essence spirit pill became an ownerless object and fell from mid-air.

Only then did he turn around and look at the two Great Zhenjuns: "Have you... hit enough?"

How swift is the divine sense of a Great Zhenjun?

While Fang Xing was dealing with the Phantom Shape Beast, the two Great Zhenjuns were bombing crazily.

Unfortunately, no matter what talismans, secret treasures, or strange objects... they could not break Fang Xing's defense.

When Fang Xing looked back, Great Zhenjun Yu Xue and Zhenjun Master Xu Yun already had expressions of their Dao hearts collapsing.

"Impossible... how could there be such a Great Zhenjun in the world?"

Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators, even if there are differences in strength, shouldn't be that far apart. How could such a monster appear who can crush two people while fighting one?

Being able to easily kill a Nascent Soul late-stage Great Zhenjun is no longer Nascent Soul combat power, but Spirit Severing combat power!

Even, they will definitely be able to promote to Spirit Severing Venerable in the future, and even refine emptiness and ascend!

"Die!"

Fang Xing was too lazy to entangle, and a crimson sun suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Between flipping his palms, a great sun fell with a bang!

Great Sun Tathagata Palm first style—Great Sun Illumination!

Light!

Boundless light, boundless life!

Fang Xing's eyes were deep, and he saw that under the radiance of the great sun, an identical external avatar walked out from Zhenjun Master Xu Yun's dantian, blocking in front of the great sun's radiance.

It was actually the great supernatural power of the 'External Avatar'!

And Great Zhenjun Yu Xue was wearing a layer of pitch-black magic armor, patted the corpse-hiding bag at his waist, and a disheveled corpse with soaring corpse Qi, faintly promoted to fourth-grade high-grade, was left behind to block the disaster. His main body had one arm explode, about to turn into essence blood, wrapping around his remnant body to fly away!

Those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul late stage are all outstanding talents of the Cultivation World, with great luck, and ordinary Spirit Severing Venerables might not be able to take them down in one move!

Therefore, Fang Xing's response was very simple, which was to continue with the second palm!

—Palm Mountain and River!

Countless golden swastika symbols like constant sand appeared, and everywhere in the void, flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses surged from the ground... as if a Buddha kingdom in the palm had descended!

Each golden swastika symbol instantly sealed the external avatar and the fourth-grade high-grade corpse.

Subsequently... submerged toward the two Great Zhenjuns' main bodies!
