The One Who Wields Phoenix Fire

Rank Six used a soul seduction technique in those final words.

The major rogue cultivation sects of the Southern Border, in addition to guarding their own core skills, often shared other minor techniques with each other...

With that neither-human-nor-ghost, half-Buddhist-half-demonic appearance, Rank Six had clearly learned from the Joyous Union Sect, which was as famous as Yin Mountain and the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

"Disgusting."

Xie Xuanyi's spirit was as solid as a rock and remained completely unmoved. Facing Rank Six's soul-snatching transmission, he merely snorted coldly and shattered the seductive sound!

Hearing this clean and decisive two-word evaluation.

Rank Six, who had been pretending to be calm, suddenly looked displeased.

She no longer pretended, let out a sharp screech, and formed hand seals with all four arms simultaneously. The originally quiet Sunken Chime Mountain instantly became "lively." Where Xie Xuanyi stood, a scarlet palm burst out of the ground.

"So, she refined more than one living corpse?"

Xie Xuanyi was expressionless. He raised his foot and stomped down heavily, directly crushing the palm into the ground, smashing it to pieces!

Blood splattered, burning several holes in his black shirt.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant mountains. Accompanied by Rank Six's hand seals, this originally quiet and peaceful mountain range instantly became a chaotic burial ground filled with wails!

Boom boom boom!

Palms and heads emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain!

More than a dozen figures struggled to reach the surface one after another. These were all "living corpse puppets" refined by Rank Six. Such things were not rare to the Heavenly Puppet Sect. The reason the plan to hand over the Bai Ze finger bone was delayed by three days was because Rank Six needed to prepare "living corpses"...

For her, the significance of this mission was extremely important.

Killing Rank Three and taking the finger bone were both indispensable.

Therefore, she could not allow herself to make the slightest mistake and had to be fully prepared!

Under Qingzhou's strict prohibition, being able to reach Carp Tide City was already extremely difficult.

To avoid attracting attention and being discovered by the Fly Eyes, Rank Six did not carry her natal puppet with her. To ensure the smooth acquisition of the finger bone... she had carefully selected Sunken Chime Mountain as the handover location.

Sunken Chime Mountain, many years ago.

Was a burial mountain.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect liked to refine living corpses, but if there were no "living people"... using the dead as substitutes was also acceptable.

These dead puppets crawling out of the graves had only one purpose.

That was to allow Rank Six's blood refining technique to be brought to its extreme!

The human wave tactic was a good tactic for Heavenly Puppet Sect cultivators at any time!

As long as there were enough dead puppets, even the strongest physique and the most solid treasure would be contaminated and shattered by the Gu blood.

"...There are so many."

Xie Xuanyi stood in the very center of the "sea of people."

He chuckled softly, "It's a pity that although you know how to refine corpses, you don't know how to carve formations. Otherwise, you might really have a chance to keep me here today."

Hearing these arrogant words, Rank Six frowned slightly.

"These are enough to deal with you."

She sneered and said, "You can be considered lucky to see my dead puppets before you die!"

She raised her four arms, just about to continue casting her spell.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound of air being torn apart rang out.

Xie Xuanyi stepped out, kicking a purple bamboo in half. The broken purple bamboo shot up like a flying sword, but this time it was not used for killing—this broken purple bamboo shot out of the ground like a flying sword, while Xie Xuanyi, who had kicked the purple bamboo, lightly stepped on the temporarily made purple bamboo flying sword, turning into a soaring rainbow, man and sword together.

"???"

Rank Six, who subconsciously retreated to defend, was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened.

That stream of light did not attack her.

Instead, it swept over her head!

Flying with a sword!

A sword cultivator! This kid is really a sword cultivator?!

According to her intelligence on "Rank Three," this guy's weapon was clearly a spear, and he was extremely good at close combat. His physique should be very strong... To ensure that she could kill Rank Three without any accidents, Rank Six deliberately spent three days setting up this killing game, but she never expected such an ironic thing to happen.

The Demon Realm's information on "Rank Three" was completely false!

This kid was not only good at fighting, but also cunning and had a hidden skill of flying with a sword!

"Don't even think about running!"

Rank Six's vertical pupils widened, and she quickly used her blood refining technique, turning into a stream of blood, rising from the ground, and chasing after him.

The dead puppets crawling out of the chaotic burial ground of Sunken Chime Mountain, unable to adjust, quickly followed their master and ran after them... However, most of them were incomplete in life and only existed as blood refining cannon fodder. Even if they ran desperately at this moment, they were still left behind by the two figures.

"Leave him here!"

Rank Six roared, seeing the distance gradually widening, and hurriedly activated the Blood Refinement Technique.

A beam of scarlet light shot out from the vertical pupil that opened between her eyebrows!

Xie Xuanyi, riding on his Purple Bamboo Flying Sword, frowned slightly upon hearing the sound of rushing wind behind him.

He took a light breath, pretending to react slowly, and in the instant he turned his head, he was pierced through the shoulder by the Blood Refinement Ray.

"Shhh!"

The Heavenly Puppet Sect's attack methods were truly ruthless.

In just one strike, Xie Xuanyi felt as if his shoulder had been shattered... He grunted, his face suddenly turning pale.

This time it wasn't an act, but the crazy woman from the Heavenly Puppet Sect's killing move was even more ruthless than he had imagined.

The Gu blood from the scarlet cave directly erupted at his shoulder!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Xuanyi endured the intense pain and glanced back.

Rank Six's eyes were bloodshot as she desperately chased after him with a group of dead puppets!

Very good...

She took the bait.

It was all worth it.

The flying sword wobbled for a moment, then regained its balance.

Xie Xuanyi bit the tip of his tongue, focused his mind, steadied his sword, changed direction, and headed straight for the Ninefold Bright Phoenix Fire Void Refinement Grand Formation!

"Is it going smoothly?"

"Or not?"

On the summit of Little Barren Mountain, Deng Baiyi clutched the radiant Sovereign Array Talisman, sitting with her knees drawn to her chest, constantly muttering.

Her gaze never left the direction of Sunken Chime Mountain.

If possible, she would rather spend this night muttering to herself... Just like the last separation at Tai'an City, when they met again, Xie Xuanyi would lightly tell her that everything went smoothly, the formation didn't need to be used, and the trouble was over.

But heaven didn't grant her wish.

Deng Baiyi felt increasingly uneasy in her heart. Soon, she stood up. A flock of crows flew into the night sky from the direction of Sunken Chime Mountain. Accompanied by the echoing screams of the crows, the unease in her heart reached its peak.

A familiar figure appeared in her field of vision.

Covered in blood, with a pale face, Xie Xuanyi was riding a broken Purple Bamboo, rushing towards her location at an extremely fast speed—

Deng Baiyi subconsciously tightened her grip on the talisman.

"Don't rush to activate the formation!"

Xie Xuanyi's voice entered her ears, "Wait until everyone is in the formation!"

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment.

"Everyone?"

What the hell is everyone? More than one person?

The next moment, she understood what Xie Xuanyi meant... A murderous, blood-red light followed closely behind Xie Xuanyi's flying sword, followed by densely packed dead puppets running on the ground! For a moment, Sunken Chime Mountain shook! Even the summit of Little Barren Mountain began to tremble!

Deng Baiyi's face suddenly turned pale.

This was the first time she had seen such a scene!

Xie Xuanyi steered his flying sword, circling in the air, deliberately waiting for the dead puppets to catch up a bit, before crashing into the Ninefold Bright Phoenix Fire Void Refinement Grand Formation, man and sword together.

Sure enough, the blood-red light followed closely behind!

Rank Six didn't suspect anything and led the dead puppets over with great momentum!

Tonight, she had to kill Rank Three!

Deng Baiyi held her breath.

"Activate the formation, now!"

Xie Xuanyi's hoarse voice exploded in her ears like thunder, and Deng Baiyi reacted instantly.

She exhaled a breath of turbid air and activated the formation.

"Buzz—"

In that instant.

Time and space on the barren mountain seemed to freeze. The dead puppets continued to charge forward without any awareness, while Rank Six, with bloodshot eyes, realized something was wrong. She saw strands of exquisite, scarlet, scalding Dao patterns rising in the void before her.

The flying weeds were suddenly ignited at that moment.

Then the entire mountain.

An entire mountain.

Instantly, a million strands of "blazing light" illuminated the area, igniting the Dao patterns erected in the void. They blazed fiercely, transforming into streams of scalding, scorching Phoenix Fire!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

Deng Baiyi's clothes fluttered wildly in the gale. Her face was flushed, her eyes sparkled, and she had transformed completely, resembling a celestial being descended upon the mortal realm, the Sovereign of this earthly domain.

She grasped the talisman of the main formation.

And she also grasped nearly ten thousand crimson Phoenix Fire blossoms drifting in the void!

Ninth on the new book chart! The climax is next, brothers, can you give it another push? TAT
