297: Chapter 49: Slaying the Red Dragon – Part 2 297: Chapter 49: Slaying the Red Dragon – Part 2 Once more…
These three words completely shattered his Daoist heart.
Previously in Xuanshui Cave Heaven, Xie Zhen had picked up a twig and, using the Sword Intent from Lotus River, had shattered the Red Dragon Dharma Image.
This time, he directly used the Sword Intent containing “Tao Rules,” breaking the old in an overwhelming fashion and replaying the scene that had once occurred in Xuanshui Cave Heaven.
How heartrending was this?
It turned out that those mocking voices from the outside world were telling the truth.
After failing at the Da Sui Sword Palace competition.
As Xie Sheng walked through the streets of Jiangning, he heard the discussions no longer hailed him as Sword Immortal.
Many people said,
Even if not in Xuanshui Cave Heaven, without Lotus River,
Xie Zhen could defeat him with just one sword.
When they met on Snow Mountain, Xie Sheng told the disciple from Tai Shang House that he no longer cared about the outcome of this battle, right or wrong.
But how could he not care?
The more he cared, the more he wanted to win back his honor.
And the more desperate he became when facing this sword.
With a “buzz”!
The pitch-black Sword Intent pierced through the Red Dragon and stabbed directly toward Xie Sheng’s chest.
To this Prince Jiangning, Xie Xuanyi had no intention of holding back…
the often spoken “respect for talent” by those experts of the Dachu Dynasty was something he never had.
He only knew,
Xie Sheng had just now made no attempt to conceal his intent to kill him.
Perhaps it was because he couldn’t subdue the Red Dragon, dominated by the killing intent within.
Or perhaps it was a momentary lapse of reason.
No matter what…
Xie Sheng wanted to kill him.
If there were no “Rule of Destruction.”
Today, he might have died here.
Xie Sheng closed his eyes tightly, clenched his teeth; he had already given up resistance.
But the next moment.
A blazing light flickered out from between his brows, forming a barrier around him.
An echo of Divine Thought appeared.
It was the Prince of the Jiangning Xie Family, Xie Zhisu.
Xie Zhisu’s robes fluttered, and with a wisp of lingering thought, forcibly blocked Xie Xuanyi’s “Rule of Destruction”… This wisp of lingering thought mingled within the Red Dragon Cave Heaven, and even Xie Sheng didn’t know that he had such a move left on him.
“Father?”
Xie Sheng collapsed to the ground, his gaze somewhat vacant as he looked at the figure in the fluttering black robes.
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and stared at this echo of lingering thought.
Prince Jiangning was not weak.
In recent years, with Wu Zhexian’s help, Xie Zhisu should have reached the peak of Yin God and was currently engaging in Asking Dao; if he encountered a great opportunity, perhaps he really might enter the Yangshen Realm in this lifetime!
What a pity.
The Emperor is far and the sky is high.
A lingering thought left by a Yin God Peak far thousands of miles away was not enough to withstand the “Rule of Destruction.”
This strand of Sword Intent was eroding Prince Jiangning’s robes.
The resistance of the lingering thought could only last for a moment!
“This young friend,”
Just then, Prince Jiangning’s lingering thought spoke, “If today you could exercise mercy, I, Xie, swear by Jianing that no matter what, this matter will not be pursued further, and furthermore, the Xie Family will surely heavily repay you in the future.”
Clearly,
The awareness within this wisp of lingering thought was not complete.
Prince Jiangning left this Divine Thought to manifest at a critical moment to see if it could save Xie Sheng’s life.
By invoking the name of Prince Jiangning.
To most people, it might work, but for Xie Xuanyi, it was meaningless.
Xie Xuanyi was completely indifferent to the enticement of Prince Jiangning.
The next moment.
“Young friend, I am Prince Jiangning of Dachu.”
Prince Jiangning’s voice paused slightly.
He no longer appeared amiable and pleasant; his entire aura became harsh, serious, and filled with killing intent, “If you commit this killing today, endless trouble will follow you in the future… no matter where you flee to, this bloodshed will be repaid.”
Xie Xuanyi scoffed, even more unwilling to pay heed.
He waved his sleeves.
With a slash!
The Rule of Destruction burned away Xie Zhisu’s lingering thought and continued heading toward Xie Sheng’s brow.
As he sat collapsed on the ground, Prince Jiangning’s face turned pale; he simply closed his eyes, preparing to meet his death.
But strangely,
After a few moments, no pain came.
Xie Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
He saw the pitch-black Sword Qi tearing Prince Jiangning Xie Zhisu’s lingering robes apart, the ink-like robes fluttering and then gathering from all directions, eventually forming a figure he had never seen before.
It was still a wisp of lingering thought.
But the oppressive feeling from this wisp of lingering thought was much, much stronger than Xie Zhisu’s…
Xie Xuanyi’s expression froze.
He looked up, staring at the towering black shadow that seemed to drain all the light from heaven and earth.
This aura, even being just a wisp of lingering thought.
Was still something mortals could not withstand.
As the Sword Qi shredded Prince Jiangning’s robes, the true “backup” left at Xie Sheng’s brow fully unveiled itself.
“…Great True Master Chong Kan.”
Xie Xuanyi stared at the dark shadow for a long time, deeply inhaling before he slowly articulated this name.
Currently, the Taoist sect was the premier sect in the world, firmly surpassing Da Sui Sword Palace!
Joint master of the Seven Huts, the “Fuyaozi” of Taoist sect, held in the same esteem as his own master Zhao Chunyang, transcendent and detached.
And the other Yang God.
Great True Master Chong Kan.
Was the key figure behind the Taoist sect becoming the foremost sect.
This prominent figure of the Taoist sect, esteemed second only to one, stationed in Seven Huts, extremely powerful, with profound Daoist skill, had inspired the arrogant Law Enforcement Head of Golden Turtle Peak to feel genuinely inferior.
The name Chong Kan.
Made Ao Ying completely stiffen.
The Red-Clothed Demoness didn’t know what to say any longer…
Today’s fight between deities truly exceeded all expectations.
What exactly was Xie Sheng’s background?
A Yang God lingering thought resided within Mei Xin Cave Heaven on his brow?
“Prince Xie, being born with a silver spoon truly does make a difference.”
