#173 - The killing knife!
Coo coo!
The actions of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly seemed to enrage the Vermilion Bird.
It let out a high-pitched cry, its body expanding a hundredfold, transforming into a giant Vermilion Bird, its entire body engulfed in raging flames, turning the surrounding hundred meters into a sea of fire, seemingly even burning and collapsing the void!
Opening its mouth, it spat out true fire that was crimson with a hint of dark color.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to circulate his Taiyuan True Qi, adding an extra layer of protection to himself.
Faced with such terrifying true fire, Little Qing was fearless.
It simply flapped its wings a few times, and streaks of azure sword qi continuously flew out.
Then, these thousands of sword qi, as if possessing spirituality, converged into a river of sword qi, transforming into a torrent that surrounded the Vermilion Bird.
Even though its true fire was incomparably scorching, capable of incinerating even sword qi, it was still slashed until it dimmed, extinguished, and fell apart when faced with this river of sword qi!
The Vermilion Bird sensed the threat, let out a long cry, and transformed into a firebird made of true fire, the surrounding flames intensifying even more.
But in the end, it was still continuously shattered several times under the river of sword qi, and finally, amidst a cry filled with unwillingness, it was twisted into a sky full of sparks.
Crack!
As soon as the firebird was extinguished, the scroll was also covered in cracks and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Liu Xinjun's face was ashen.
Not only because he had once again fallen into a disadvantage, but also because this magical artifact scroll was connected to his mind, causing damage to his divine sense.
He reached out and grabbed the Tiger Fiend Saber in his hand, and with the other hand, he stroked the blade.
Zheng—
The Tiger Fiend Saber buzzed again, its light greatly intensified, faintly emitting a saber cry like a tiger's roar.
"Junior Brother Gu, the exquisiteness and ruthlessness of your swordsmanship have exceeded my expectations. In terms of swordsmanship, your attainments are already no less than mine. If you can withstand this saber of mine, what if I admit defeat?"
Liu Xinjun knew that if things continued like this, he would probably become the laughingstock of Medicine King Mountain, losing all face!
He was also a prominent figure among the inner disciples of Medicine King Mountain.
However, this inner disciple who had joined Medicine King Mountain for more than twenty years was actually no match for a fellow disciple who had just entered the sect. It wouldn't sound good if word got out.
Therefore, Liu Xinjun simply hardened his heart and decided to use his ultimate move.
In response, Gu Yuan didn't say much, but simply gestured with his hand: "Please!"
Liu Xinjun stopped talking, simply hiding the saber at his waist, adopting a posture as if he were about to draw the saber.
In an instant, an invisible aura gradually emanated out.
A heavy and captivating pressure spread out!
Gu Yuan's expression became slightly serious, with a few more hints of earnestness.
Because he had already sensed a dangerous aura spreading, causing his spine to chill and his hair to stand on end!
This saber was clearly capable of threatening his life!
Clang!
Liu Xinjun drew his saber, seemingly slow but actually fast, and then raised his saber and slashed.
The saber light flickered, and the baleful aura, yin energy, evil aura, turbid air, and other dark energies permeating the world all converged and merged into it.
Compared to the previous saber, this saber's momentum was obviously weaker by one or two notches, but for some reason, seeing the cold saber light, Gu Yuan instead felt a sense of horror.
It was as if he couldn't block this saber at all!
Gu Yuan even had a rare feeling of being unable to start, because this saber's realm was profound, and he couldn't grasp the other party's saber technique's aura at all.
"The Severing God Stance of the Seven Kill White Tiger Saber… is this kid courting death?"
True Person He Ling's expression changed slightly, somewhat annoyed, and he looked at Liu Xinjun with a few more hints of displeasure.
He immediately prepared to step forward to stop this saber.
It wasn't that he was cautious, but that this saber that Liu Xinjun was displaying was the forbidden saber in the Seven Kill White Tiger Saber, targeting the souls of living beings and cultivators!
This saber technique was extremely dangerous. Once a saber was swung, it could no longer be undone.
Once a saber was drawn, someone would inevitably fall under the saber, either the enemy would die, or I would perish!
It was a killing saber!
Based on Liu Xinjun's cultivation, he couldn't fully master this saber at all. Forcing it out, the best result would be a mutual loss.
If he was unlucky, the two of them might very likely perish together!
True Person He Ling naturally wouldn't sit idly by, but just as he was about to stop it, the sword light he flicked out was brushed away by someone.
True Person He Ling was stunned. When he saw a young man beside him wearing a plain white robe, without any accessories on his body, with a handsome face like a god, and pure and bright eyes, his expression immediately sank:
"Li Changsheng, it's you!"
This young man in a plain white robe was none other than Li Changsheng, who possessed a pure Yang Dao body, had formed a first-grade elixir, and was known as the number one true disciple of Medicine King Mountain.
"Elder He Ling, why bother interfering in the affairs between these juniors? Besides, your disciple may not be without a way to deal with it…"
"Juniors? Heh…"
True Person He Ling sneered upon hearing this, and didn't say anything more.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
…
Gu Yuan in the field had also realized that the other party's saber was not only targeting the physical body, but even more so the soul.
Even if the saber light touched him even slightly, it would probably cause irreparable damage.
He simply soared up with his sword light, stabbing straight at Liu Xinjun's chest.
Liu Xinjun's saber technique was very profound, ethereal and difficult to find, without any trace. Gu Yuan found it difficult to capture the aura, and even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't resist.
But he didn't have to resist.
Liu Xinjun's saber technique might not have any flaws, or even if it did have flaws, he couldn't grasp them.
However, although he couldn't block the saber, he could block the person!
That was enough!
The other party was taking the path of controlling the saber with the person. As long as he killed the person, the saber technique would be broken on its own.
The sword light transformed by the Silver Flood Dragon Sword was like brilliant starlight, piercing through the void like a long rainbow, pulling out a long stream of light.
Liu Xinjun gritted his teeth, not expecting Gu Yuan to pull this trick on him.
Helplessly, he had no choice but to raise his saber to block the sword light.
With a clang, a vast force came from the saber, and he felt like he had been chopped on an iron mountain.
Liu Xinjun's arm went numb, his tiger's mouth split open, and the Tiger Fiend Saber also flew out of his hand, flying backwards and sinking into the stone wall.
In the next moment, a slender figure appeared in front of him like a shadow.
This figure was none other than Gu Yuan.
Liu Xinjun's eyes widened, and he saw Gu Yuan in front of him pinching a treasure vase seal with both hands, wisps of water light converging into a treasure vase with a large belly and a small mouth, jade-white and translucent, crystal clear and rounded.
It exuded an aura of perfect harmony, without defects or damage, and endless vitality.
The Yuan Water Treasure Vase slammed down, and Liu Xinjun only had time to activate a protective magical artifact on his body before he was hit head-on.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Liu Xinjun's chest collapsed, and his entire person flew out backwards.
He flew out dozens of meters before stopping, spitting out blood non-stop.
On his body, a jade pendant magical artifact with superior texture and painted with cloud and thunder patterns shattered with a "pop", its light dimming.
Only then did Gu Yuan leisurely withdraw his palm, disperse the hand seal, and smile as he cupped his fist: "Senior Brother Liu, you have yielded!"
