Remould the Glory of Sword Art

The Heavenly Phoenix Order was crushed into pieces.

Clearly, Lu Yuzhen did not wish for the Great Palace Master to appear.

Once a "Strongest" of the Great Palace Master’s level descends, the situation at Broken Buddha Cliff would immediately change, and neither the Paperman Sect nor Xie Xuanyi would be able to oppose the Great Palace Master.

However, since he had already decided to retreat, the intention behind destroying the Heavenly Phoenix Order was mainly for Xie Xuanyi’s sake.

Next.

Lu Yuzhen would unravel the Paper Snow Barrier.

He knew that although Xie Xuanyi’s current state was poor, it wasn’t as threatening as Jiang Huang or those cultivators at Lushui Cave Heaven. The only worry was the Great Palace Master being summoned by the Heavenly Phoenix Order.

"Let’s each take a step back."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "You let me take my people and leave. In exchange..."

Saying this.

He looked at Chi Fu Dragon Lord lying in a pool of blood.

"This old thing, and that phoenix’s life, I leave them for you to handle."

Lu Yuzhen paused, then said, "How about it?"

The paper snow filled the sky, gently falling on Chi Fu Dragon Lord, layering like white clothes, piling up into a small hill.

It looked like a burial shroud and also like a grave mound.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s face was full of pain, yet he couldn’t utter a word.

Because the meridians in his body and Primordial Fire were completely sealed by this paper snow.

This former Great Venerable of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace couldn’t even manage "self-destruction" now.

"..."

Jiang Huang sat heavily in the snowstorm, feeling an unprecedented powerlessness.

She wasn’t even given a glance by Lu Yuzhen.

At this moment, she had become a product in a transaction, her life or death decided by others.

After a long while.

A faint voice came from the wheelchair.

"Deal."

The golden light on Xie Xuanyi’s shoulder gradually dimmed. He put away the Chen Ke, and not far away Cheng Er let out a long breath, clearly feeling the pressure between her brows significantly lessen. Xie Xuanyi had abandoned the intention to draw his sword, and she and Xuan Jin had thus narrowly escaped death.

"Leave."

Without any hesitation.

Cheng Er took Xuan Jin and retreated far from Broken Buddha Cliff.

Lu Yuzhen did not leave at this point; he still maintained the posture with his hands behind his back, standing at the edge of the clouds, his cloak covering the Heavenly Peak, protecting "Second Master" as she retreated in this fashion...

In heaven and earth, the once light and disorderly paper snow suddenly fell straight down.

Like lines of rain, delicately hitting the shoulders, making a clear pattering sound.

This was Lu Yuzhen starting to withdraw the range of the paper snow Dao Domain.

However...

This circle of white heavenly light, after drawing back, seemed to connect both ends of heaven and earth.

This Lord Lu evidently had something to say to Xie Xuanyi alone.

Xie Xuanyi raised a hand, gesturing for Ao Ying to stop pushing the wheelchair.

Ao Ying was very tactful.

She silently retreated, moving back fifty zhang away.

...

...

"Truly unexpected, that in just two short years, you successfully harmonized and advanced, stepping into the peak of the Yang God Fourth Layer Heaven."

"Xie Xuanyi, you always manage to surprise me..."

Amidst the swaying heavenly light, Lu Yuzhen’s figure appeared blurred and fragmented.

The thunderlight on him had quieted considerably.

It looked like he was preparing to return to the "past" River of Destiny.

Perhaps because all affairs here were settled.

Perhaps because this was the limit of the "Manifestation" divine skills he currently possessed.

The last meeting was at the Carp Tide River, a brief encounter, a brief exchange, back then Xie Xuanyi was only at Yin God Perfection, stronger than Jiang Huang and Jinli, but still far from "Yang God."

"Is that so, why do I feel you’re not so happy?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his head, looking mockingly at the person in the sky.

He really wanted to know.

Given their "undying, endless" relationship, with this harmonization and advancement...

In Lu Yuzhen’s eyes, was it more of a joy, or a fright?

"Actually, I’m happy."

Lord Lu shrugged, raised his palm again, and put on a sorrowful expression: "If only you hadn’t tried to draw your sword on me... you know, that sword really hurt..."

"Isn’t that exactly what you want?"

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly: "Next time we meet, it will hurt even more."

Since their first meeting at the Carp Tide River, his cause and effect had been entwined with this man named Lu.

He thought that by figuring out what happened in ten years, he could grasp Lu Yuzhen’s secrets...

But Xie Xuanyi had underestimated the situation.

With the presence of the Daoist Brush, Lu Yuzhen roamed the Flower Bud World, existing in every "timeline" of the River of Destiny, this guy was now madly plundering cause and effect in the river, stirring the winds and clouds, if what Lu Yuzhen was trying to do was collect all sorts of cause and effect to condense into a splendid "Dao Flower"

Then most likely he would be the bud of this "Dao Flower."

Either.

He killed Lu Yuzhen.

Or.

He became Lu Yuzhen’s "certification" sacrifice.

"I know you’ve saved a last breath."

Lu Yuzhen squinted his eyes, softly laughed: "With your current condition, you should be ready to step into the Fifth Layer of Yang God anytime... if I continue to compete with you, you will throw out the Fourth Sword."

Xie Xuanyi remained silent.

About this matter, Lu Yuzhen indeed miscalculated.

Though he wanted to kill the Paperman in front of him, he wasn’t willing to bet his entire life.

Karmic Fire burning the heart, flesh body shattering.

Each time a sword was drawn, it inflicted massive negative impact on himself.

In Xie Xuanyi’s plan, he intended to draw only three swords. If Lu Yuzhen insisted on continuing... then the Fourth Sword he was forced to unleash wouldn’t be a "Breaking Realm Sword."

To kill Lu Yuzhen.

He must reach the same realm as him.

A sword from the Fourth Heaven, and a sword from the Fifth Heaven, have no essential difference.

If he broke through now...

Under the burning of Karmic Fire, this near-shattering flesh body would endure more pressure, Xie Xuanyi’s situation wouldn’t improve, it would only worsen.

"I still feel heartache for you in the end."

Lu Yuzhen sighed, assuming Xie Xuanyi’s silence was due to being seen through by him, in a sorrowful way: "Even if you release this sword, you won’t be able to kill me, instead, you’ll end up with a ’flesh body shattered’ result. So why don’t we both save some effort..."

The darkness between heaven and earth gradually dispersed.

The huge white snow cloak enveloping Broken Buddha Cliff gradually drew back.

"Next, these people are all yours to handle."

Lu Yuzhen fixed his gaze at Xie Xuanyi, smiling ambiguously: "Xie Xuanyi, I know you still hold a bit of mercy towards that phoenix, most likely you won’t take action, but now, at least you’re the Sword Palace Master of Da Sui Sword Palace, this can’t end so happily and carelessly, can it... if I were you, I would certainly claim the life of Chi Fu Dragon Lord, to let those bastards at Heavenly Phoenix Palace know the consequence of offending me."
