579: Chapter 108 Divine Embryo_2 579: Chapter 108 Divine Embryo_2 Meng Kejian controlled this world enveloped in the aura of the blade intent, his expression gloomy as he watched the young man in black slowly rise to his feet: “Back at Duanchang Cliff, I indeed shouldn’t have just watched.”
This young Sword Cultivator’s achievements now surpassed even those of Xie Xuanyi at his age!
Give him some more time.
This fellow is bound to surpass Xie Xuanyi!
And perhaps, he may even surpass Zhao Chunyang in the future!
This is without a doubt the number one threat to Li Kingdom!
“Today, I shall strangle you right here!”
Meng Kejian raised his long blade, and the domain of blade intent expanded by a whole fold!
The lofty Snake-man Dharma that spiraled upwards also raised its blade, surrounded by the chilly intent of the Que Wu Blade.
In the next moment, he struck with his blade; the strike crossed dozens of feet, reaching Xie Xuanyi’s head in an instant!
“Hmm…
This strike is several times faster than before!
Has Meng Kejian also made a breakthrough?!”
Xie Xuanyi slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
After ascending to the Yin God Realm, the reshaping of his Divine Embryo brought changes to his physical body, causing Xie Xuanyi to feel somewhat unfamiliar with his own “flesh.”
Therefore, he chose to retreat one step instead of clashing directly.
Unexpectedly, he was even faster; with just a thought, he flickered away dozens of feet.
At the same time, the unleashed killing intent of the blade shattered the area, ten feet in radius, where Xie Xuanyi had been standing!
But this was just the beginning.
After Meng Kejian made his move with the blade, he did not stop; the continuous blade intent surged like a tide.
Everywhere Xie Xuanyi paused, a moment longer and he would have been shattered by the killing intent!
The figure in black flitted about like lightning, dashing east and darting west, nimbly evading.
Xie Xuanyi’s changes in direction were abrupt, each one executed flawlessly.
In fact, everything he was doing was still just to get used to this Martial Arts Divine Embryo.
For a Sword Cultivator, the enhancement provided by the Divine Embryo was tremendous; Xie Xuanyi merely needed to divert a small strand of thought, sense the “early warning” from the Heart Lake, and then respond in the nick of time to perfectly dodge Meng Kejian’s blade intent.
With the aid of this Divine Embryo, his physical body’s speed had increased several times compared to his past life!
If he had developed the Divine Embryo in his first life, during the Beihai massacre, Xie Xuanyi was confident he could have escaped to safety.
He would not have fallen like this.
“Only know how to flee?”
Dozens of consecutive slashes were all perfectly evaded by Xie Zhen.
Meng Kejian couldn’t hold back a surge of anger, this fellow who was sitting in a wheelchair not long ago was now slipperier than an eel!
The black robe fluttered and finally settled.
Xie Xuanyi returned to his original spot, expressionless, he made a suggestion: “This place is not suitable for a battle, how about we change locations?”
“Heh…”
Meng Kejian scoffed coldly.
Of course, he knew what Xie Zhen meant by this suggestion.
This guy, does he want to save these ordinary people of this dilapidated village and temple?
How absurd!
Meng Kejian had seen Xie Zhen’s files countless times; this Book Tower Dark Child was hidden by Chen Jingxuan for ten years, and although there were only a few battle records, the fact he slew several Southern Border Evil Cultivators at Beihai Tomb shows…
he is definitely not the kind-hearted and soft-handed sort!
As a Cultivator, in front of a great enemy of the Yin God Realm, why bother with the life and death of ordinary people?
“I think you shouldn’t even bother being a disciple of the Da Sui Sword Palace.”
Meng Kejian’s expression was cold and merciless as he mocked: “Wanting to save everyone!
You might as well join the Buddhist sect!”
He raised his palm.
A signal spread through the hearts of the Iron Cavalry.
“Kill!”
The Iron Cavalry, who had been awaiting orders with swords at the ready, finally received the decisive command.
They drew their blades and slashed down!
In the next moment, swords clashed and blood splattered!
“Ah…”
Cries of agony echoed around Taoyuan Village!
However, these screams did not come from the people kneeling on the ground, waiting to be executed.
It was the Iron Cavalry who had drawn their blades that cried out!
“This…
how is this possible?”
Meng Kejian’s pupils contracted; he couldn’t believe it as he turned around, facing the ghastly bloody scene that was hard to accept.
The breeze that had just died down.
At the moment Meng Kejian decreed the execution, it reignited, fiercer, more decisive, colder, more merciless than before!
This time.
Each leaf did more than just scrape a wound across the cheek!
This time, the leaves were imbued with the Great Success of the “Rule of Destruction”!
To be precise…
they had condensed into the “Annihilation Dao Realm!”
Xie Xuanyi was not familiar with the Life Dao Realm or the Divine Embryo.
But the one thing he was intimately familiar with was the “Annihilation Dao Realm”.
In the end, the practice of swordsmanship does not require a sword…
even fluttering petals and leaves can kill!
Amidst the wails and screams.
The Iron Cavalry of Yuzi Camp, who’d come to Taoyuan Village with Meng Kejian, fell one after another.
They died cleanly and neatly, their throats slit by leaves, and then their souls severed by the Annihilation Dao Realm!
Even the Iron Cavalry Colonel in the Qi-controlling Realm could only endure a few more breaths.
The kneeling civilians were stunned by the scene, their eyes filled with shock and fear, the blood that was splattered on them scalding hot.
“What are you waiting for?”
Xie Xuanyi’s scolding voice landed in the people’s Heart Lake: “Run for your lives!”
The number of Iron Cavalry Meng Kejian brought this time was not large.
But Xie Xuanyi was well aware that this was just the beginning—
Last time they surrounded Qixia Mountain, at least thousands of Iron Cavalry were dispatched!
Du Yunzhong has not appeared yet, and Meng Kejian would have made preparations before departing.
Likely in a short while, Chen Chong will also arrive, and even with a breakthrough, I wouldn’t be able to confront the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry head-on, withstand them to the end…
Now is the best chance for these people to escape for their lives.
If they stay here any longer, they will be mercilessly killed by the Iron Cavalry!
“Run!”
The monks of Yuan Guang Temple were the first to react.
The crowd erupted, running away in a frenzy.
At this moment, Taoyuan turned into a complete hell as the windblown dead leaves, thick with clotted blood, gave off a frightening stench.
Meng Kejian’s breathing grew heavy.
He stared at the horrific scene, recalling the annihilation of his forces under Qixia Mountain not long ago.
“You are wrong.”
Xie Xuanyi’s voice emerged appropriately within Meng Kejian’s Sword Intent domain: “My suggestion to fight elsewhere was actually to save your men.”
From the moment the Iron Cavalry stepped into Taoyuan Village.
Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought had locked onto these people.
The wind stirred the dead leaves, the Sword Intent hung high.
From that moment, he had control over the lives of everyone there.
To kill anyone required only a single thought!
Meng Kejian’s eyes turned crimson again.
His aura rose once more but he exhibited the same instability as before…
the Cold Blood Technique could grant him enormous power, but this “enhancement” was linked to the stillness of his Heart Lake.
Chen Chong usually taught him not to act rashly with Killing Intent, to think thrice before acting.
However, it was hard to restrain the urge to kill.
Especially when facing Xie Xuanyi.
“Kill!”
This time, Meng Kejian directly stepped on the stirrup, leapt into the air, and became a rainbow streak aimed at colliding with Xie Xuanyi!
Xie Xuanyi retreated calmly.
He transmitted a message to Deng Baiyi: “Take good care of Mi Yun, find Chu Guo on the back mountain, and then flee from here…
the quicker the better, the farther the better!”
Deng Baiyi hurriedly retreated.
Meng Kejian only glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze.
At this moment, he had no time to care for others, his eyes only on Xie Zhen!
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!”
The long sword was drawn, smashing fiercely.
Wherever it passed, it crumbled everything in its path.
Xie Xuanyi stopped talking and just kept retreating, heading towards another barren mountain in another part of Taoyuan, the two of them moved back and forth, chasing and fleeing, covering almost ten li.
This time.
Xie Xuanyi backed up to the front of a small mountain.
“Where else can you run?”
Meng Kejian’s eyes were devoid of reason as he circulated his Primordial Energy, pushing the Cold Blood Technique to its limits.
Que Wu’s Blade Intent turned again into a vortex above the Heavenly Peak, and a thick beam of light fell from it.
This time, Xie Xuanyi didn’t dodge.
He raised his head, calmly facing this extremely pale cut of blade light!
This one cut.
Almost overlapped with the cut at Qixia Mountain.
Last time.
Meng Kejian’s cut had almost claimed his life…
But this time was different.
Not even a hint of danger rippled across Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake.
“Dang!”
He took a deep breath, raised his hands, and caught the cut directly, his Martial Arts Divine Embryo bursting forth with brilliant light!
