Slashing Tianrui (Two-in-One)

One hour ago.

A gentle autumn breeze caressed the wheat fields, sending ripples of wheat spreading across the hillside meadows.

Today, in addition to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass, there is also the sound of knocking on the door.

The barefoot girl, who was sitting on the bed cultivating, slowly opened her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.

Why is this guy home so early today?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Tianyan jumped off the bed and went to the front yard to open the door.

The wooden door opened, but instead of Xu Yuan's smug face, what came into view was a man with squinty eyes.

He was handsome and dashing, his pristine white robe fluttering gently in the breeze outside the courtyard.

The two looked at each other in silence, and several birds were startled into flight from the crooked peach tree.

In silence,

Tianyan said softly:

"The chief disciple of the Dao Palace?"

The man in white robes scrutinized Tianyan with a casual, flippant gaze, and chuckled softly:

"Shen Weixiu."

"Oh."

Tianyan nodded indifferently, then turned and walked directly into the courtyard.

"." Shen Weixiu.

"Come in, he's not back yet," Tianyan's voice drifted over.

Shen Weixiu stood there, smiling and shaking his head:

"No, I came to find you."

Tianyan stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Shen Weixiu stared at the other person with a strange smile in his eyes, and grinned.

"I've come to discuss something with you."

Tianyan slowly turned around and stared at him:

"Just say what you need to say."

Shen Weixiu's tone remained lazy and leisurely:

"Today your Qionghua Sect detained Jing He, and tomorrow it will most likely be a life-or-death duel between him and me. How about we discuss this matter?"

Tianyan's eyes were somewhat strange. He nodded, his voice clear and crisp:

"You said it."

"I'll go easy on him tomorrow. You're coming with me to a place."

Can I refuse?

"That probably won't work," Shen Weixiu with a smile.

"."

Tianyan's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. He glanced at the flowers and plants he had painstakingly cultivated in the courtyard and nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

"Oh?"

Shen Weixiu's lips curled slightly, his narrowed eyes showing interest. "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?"

Tianyan remained indifferent:

"It doesn't matter."

"Hehe.."

Shen Weixiu shook his head and slowly turned around. "Then let's go."

Before leaving, Tianyan made sure to close the door.

The two walked down the mountain valley.

Shen Weixiu glanced at the girl behind him and said slowly:

"It seems like you really care about Jing He."

"It doesn't matter."

Tianyan glanced at him. "If you want to do something to him, you'd better torture him a lot, just don't kill him."

Shen Weixiu smiled, "Do you think I'd believe you if you said that now?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Tianyan shook his head.

The two walked together to a secluded mountain valley with dense forests, when Shen Weixiu suddenly said:

This is it.

"Here?"

Tianyan glanced around, a thoughtful look flashing in his golden eyes. "So, why did you bring me here?"

"I will take you out of this Qionghua Realm from here."

Tianyan looked at the other person, his golden eyes flashing:

Why did you take me out of the Qionghua Realm?

"Because the Charm God Cherry Tree needs your physique."

Tianyan revealed a look of sudden realization:

"So, you've already obtained the Charm God Cherry Tree?"

Shen Weixiu's narrowed eyes held a lazy smile:

"Of course, I advise you not to resist, but if you want to, you can try."

Tianyan glanced at him, his voice clear and crisp:

"How have you survived this long with such arrogance?"

"Miss Tianyan, this is called confidence."

"It's all the same to me."

"."

Shen Weixiu's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a hint of displeasure:

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

"There's nothing left to discuss?"

Tianyan hearing this, Tianyan murmured, his eyes twitching slightly. He took a deep breath and suddenly grinned, revealing his teeth.

"Shen Weixiu, do you know?"

"Know what?"

"I hate it when people say that to me because of a bastard."

"Oh, you're so annoying?"

Shen Weixiu took out a long sword from his Sumeru Ring, and stared at Tianyan with a smile, enunciating each word clearly:

"It seems you'll have to endure this if you're facing me."

"."

"."

"."

"."

Shen Weixiu knelt on the ground, clutching the broken sword, his once pristine white robe now stained crimson with blood.

Tianyan in the sky, looking down at the chief Dao Palace official in white robes, his eyes cold and aloof.

Shen Weixiu was no weakling, but at this moment he also looked somewhat disheveled.

Her pale red palace dress was stained with patches of charred black, and the long-sleeved robe on her left arm was gone, revealing a slender arm that trembled slightly uncontrollably, with faint traces of blood seeping from its surface.

"Hiss."

After coughing up blood, Shen Weixiu barely managed to support himself, looked up at the girl in the void, and grinned:

"Miss Tianyan, you are truly amazing."

Tianyan looked down at the chief of the Dao Palace and gave a clear, crisp command:

"Continue with what we were just talking about."

Shen Weixiu shook his head, stood up, and casually tossed the broken sword aside.

"I'm not going to say anything more, if we wait any longer Tianrui probably won't come."

"Then you're useless."

Tianyan interrupted, raising his small hand and instantly forming a hand seal:

"Four-Direction Seal".

After saying that,

A Four-Direction Seal seal, radiating golden light, was instantly constructed by Shen Weixiu!

"Fall."

Tianyan waved his small hand downwards.

The enormous seal, ten feet long, crashed down towards Shen Weixiu's crown.

A glint flashed in Shen Weixiu's eyes, and arcs of lightning crackled around his body!

Then,

The golden Four-Direction Seal seal passed right through Shen Weixiu's body without any hindrance!

In that instant,

Shen Weixiu's body seemed to have lost its physical form.

Dao Yun · Thunder Transformation.

Tianyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Transforming one's body into elements, at a profound level, one can not only Thunder Transformation, but also into the five elements.

Tianyan seeing this scene, Tianyan uttered:

"Instant!"

He flashed backward in a swift movement.

But Shen Weixiu, lying on the ground, had absolutely no intention of fighting this madwoman.

Without the slightest hesitation, it transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped towards the horizon!

"." Tianyan.

Tianyan's chest rose and fell slightly without any ripple, and with a flash, he quickly chased after his opponent.

Xu Yuan's sword flashed, time seemed to freeze.

Crimson blood splattered in the air, and disbelief filled Tianrui's pale golden eyes.

Xu Yuan held the jade sword,

The sword mark, like ink splashed in the air, slashed Tianrui's side, almost cleaving his entire body diagonally at the waist. The severed internal organs inside the wound were clearly visible!

Following this earth-shattering sword strike, a blood-red spiral bone drill instantly materialized beside Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't relax at all; his Will Soul immediately expanded, covering an area of a hundred feet in radius.

He had witnessed Tianyan's ghostly substitution technique twice. Although he still didn't know how to interfere with its Secret Method, he had developed some defensive measures.

The instant the corpse disappears, a very special fluctuation of Source Qi will occur at a certain location, and then the caster's true form will appear there.

But this time, there was no sign of the substitute secretary activating, and the surrounding Source Qi was eerily quiet.

What's going on?

Why didn't the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Holy Son activate the Secret Method of substitution?

In a flash, a thought crossed my mind.

And the next moment,

The spiral bone drill beside Xu Yuan transformed into a streak of blood-red light, piercing towards Tianrui's brow!

But the bone spur suddenly stopped a few centimeters away from Tianrui's brow.

immediately,

A strange, suffocating aura began to emanate from Tianrui's body!

Tianrui stared at Xu Yuan with his pale golden eyes, devoid of any emotion.

The Secret Method of Daoism: Retrograde.

Without any warning, Xu Yuan found that everything in front of him began to reverse and go backward.

Everything before his eyes seemed to be rewound. The blood that had splattered from Tianrui's body began to flow backward. The blood -Ink Sword that were about to disappear into the air solidified again and were then wiped away little by little. The brilliant blood that had been flying in the air flowed back into Tianrui's body. After the blood, there were the wounds on his body that had been cut open, then his clothes, and finally the layer of purple-gold light membrane.

everything,

Everything went back half a second.

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly; almost instantly, he realized what this was.

This is the "Dao" that Tianyan has repeatedly emphasized.

The vast chasm between the third and fourth ranks lies precisely in this.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yuan slashed horizontally with his sword once more.

Blood Ink Jade - Waltz

"Instant."

The Ink Sword slashed through the air, and Tianrui's figure appeared more than ten feet away from Xu Yuan.

Standing in mid-air, Tianrui stared at Xu Yuan with his golden eyes, his voice cold:

"You do not match the information provided."

Xu Yuan sighed softly, holding the jade sword Thousand Thorns, and silently cursed Tianyan repeatedly in his heart.

This woman clearly knows what the "Tao" Tianrui cultivates is, but she just won't say.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan twirled the jade sword Thousand Thorns in his hand:

"Are you saying that you were ambushed because the sword technique I used doesn't match my Soul-Returning Art?"

At this point, Xu Yuan smiled with a hint of amusement, "It seems someone leaked all the information about the younger generation of the Qionghua Sect to you. No wonder Shen Weixiu was able to kill Senior Brother Li and Bai Fan so easily. Tsk tsk, it's really hard to guard against a traitor within the family."

Intelligence is really important.

Just like just now,

If Tianrui had used the Death-Substitution Secret Art, he might really be dead now.

Xu Yuan wasn't too alarmed that he couldn't defeat Tianrui in one go.

Because the other party has leaked their Qi.

The Source Qi around his body was gushing out uncontrollably, a sign that the Source Qi had been consumed too quickly and the meridians in his body were damaged.

The third rank has only grasped the Dao, and has not yet reached the point of being able to use it as easily as one's own arm.

If he were to encounter Tianrui at the second or even first rank, the object of his Retrograde might become Xu Yuan himself.

Imagine this,

After preparing a powerful move, use the power of the Dao to Retrograde to a specific location and release it.

To be caught completely off guard and take the hit head-on—the thought of such a combo is chilling.

Raising his jade sword and pointing it at Tianrui, Xu Yuan said with a light laugh:

"It doesn't matter, let's see if you, the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Holy Son, can make me use my Dao essence."

Tianrui's pale gold eyes were extremely serious.

"You possess two kinds of Daoist essence?"

Huh? What two kinds of Dao essence?

Xu Primordial Spirit remained unchanged, and he replied with a light laugh:

"Who knows? Why don't you just give it a try?"

"."

Tianrui didn't dare to make any rash moves, but just looked at the man opposite him and let out a long breath:

"Phew, I, Tianrui, have underestimated your Qionghua Sect."

The intelligence was wrong; this Jing He was excessively strong, and he hadn't even used his Dao essence, yet he severely injured him with just one move.

Thinking this, Tianrui's gaze swept across the battle on the horizon.

At this moment, Shen Weixiu was being beaten and running around like a stray dog.

Shen Weixiu's situation is probably dire as well; it seems he needs to figure out how to leave now.

Xu Yuan didn't give Tianrui much time to catch his breath, and slowly raised his hand.

With his movement, more than a dozen blood-red spiral bone spikes instantly condensed around his body, the tips of the spikes gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

He waved and descended.

More than ten bone spurs instantly transformed into streaks of blood-red light and sped towards Tianrui!

At this moment, Tianrui dared not use the "Divine Shield" mantra to directly block any move from Xu Yuan. He unleashed the "Instant" mantra and his figure flashed several meters to the side to dodge.

Xu Yuan laughed upon seeing this.

Now that they've gotten to know each other better, Tianyan knows that Tianyan can't dodge his Blood Marrow Drill Blood Marrow Drill and him. He can only take it head-on.

With a sudden pull, the dozen or so Blood Marrow Drill immediately turned at an acute angle and continued rushing towards Tianrui!

Tianrui's pupils contracted slightly, and he uttered a single word.

"Seal up!"

"Oh"

Sensing a slight pause in the Source Qi within his body, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, lowered his body, and held the jade sword horizontally across his chest.

The response was quick, but it was a pity.

Even Tianyan doesn't dare to use the "Sealing" mantra recklessly in front of him now; before using the "Sealing" technique, he must at least save the "Instant" mantra.

Void-Stepping Slash!

Tianrui's pupils contracted upon seeing this.

here we go again.

Where?

Tianrui's pale golden eyes quickly scanned his surroundings, but found nothing. Just as he was on high alert, Xu Yuan's figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Trapped!" Tianrui uttered a single word.

Xu Yuan felt a sudden heaviness around him, but having practiced with Tianyan so many times, he already had a plan.

Soul-Returning Art, Six Yang Gang.

Fiery red patterns spread outward from Xu Yuan's body, directly breaking free from Tianrui's "True Mantra of Trapped".

Blood Ink Jade - Waltz

The blood-red sword marks tore through the space.

Unlike last time, this time Xu Yuan chopped off heads.

Swish!

Tianrui's head flew high into the air.

At this moment, Xu Yuan's Source Qi was almost depleted. He prepared to use his last Blood Marrow Drill to receive the opponent's Death-Substitution Secret Art.

but,

There is no Death-Substitution Secret Art.

The blood splattered from Tianrui's discarded head did not Retrograde or disappear; it danced in the air for a few breaths before plummeting straight down into the forest below.

At this time,

Xu Yuan vaguely sensed a fleeting, inexplicable fluctuation of soul intent.

Because of this inexplicable fluctuation of soul intent, Xu Yuan stood in the void on guard for a long time. Only after confirming that there was no aura did he fly down towards Tianrui's dismembered corpse.

It fell to the ground, where bushes grew thickly. Sunlight filtered through the withered canopy of the trees, illuminating the headless corpse lying quietly on the fallen leaves and branches, creating a dark and tranquil atmosphere.

Xu Yuan was on high alert and did not approach rashly. Instead, he used the Blood Marrow Drill as a medium to repeatedly confirm that the other party was completely dead before walking up to the corpse.

The headless, bloody corpse looked somewhat nauseating.

Frowning and suppressing his discomfort, Xu Yuan severed the finger bearing the Sumeru Ring from the other party's hand with a single sword strike, then burned it to ashes with a burst of fire.

That's how it is sometimes; one wrong step, and you're done for.

After doing all this,

Xu Yuan took Tianrui's Sumeru Ring and peered into it.

As the Holy Son of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion, the other party should know a lot of information about the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion through his Sumeru Ring.

However, what first entered the Will Soul

It was a bewitching sapling emanating Charm God Tree Sapling of soul energy.
