Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Cheng Er’s voice echoed within the temple.

Xie Xuanyi remained seated in the chair, showing no intention of moving.

"Draw your sword?!"

Cheng Er hesitated for a moment, then angrily retorted.

As per the agreement.

She had already shown enough sincerity, and now with the Chi Fu Dragon Lord revealed, it should be time for Xie Xuanyi to make his move.

But the broken temple was enveloped in deathly silence.

No Sword Qi, no sound.

"..."

Ao Ying’s expression was subtle.

She hadn’t expected things to develop in this direction.

Judging by Xie Xuanyi’s demeanor, he seemed to have no intention of drawing his sword.

What was to be done next?

"Are you going to breach the contract?"

Cheng Er realized something was amiss, squeezing the words out through gritted teeth.

"Breach the contract?"

Xie Xuanyi replied expressionlessly: "When did we ever have an agreement... did I promise you that I would definitely draw this sword?"

With these words spoken.

Cheng Er’s Heart Lake gave a jolt.

Upon closer thought...

Xie Xuanyi indeed had never promised anything, and there was never any agreement reached between the two.

Because the negotiation inside the ancient temple was inherently unequal; she simply had no choice.

"I merely mentioned earlier that when the Chi Fu is ensnared, and the time is ripe, I will naturally draw my sword."

Xie Xuanyi paused, before speaking lightly: "Now although Chi Fu has shown himself... in my view, the time is not yet ripe."

"What... do you mean?"

Cheng Er’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

She hadn’t expected the dignified Xie Xuanyi to be such a tough nut to crack.

"To be honest."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled: "I, Xie, currently possess only the strength of ’one sword’. If I intend to use this sword to kill Chi Fu, the Paperman Sect will need to exert more effort."

"???

Cheng Er choked on these words.

Clenching her fists, she gritted her teeth: "Xie, what nonsense are you spouting? If I had the ability to deal with Chi Fu, you wouldn’t have been peaceful in the temple until now!"

"Naturally, not relying on you."

Xie Xuanyi remained indifferent: "Doesn’t the Paperman Sect also have Lu Yuzhen?"

With this said.

Cheng Er instantly fell silent.

Ao Ying rubbed her chin, faintly understanding some things...

Initially, she perceived that the Paperman Sect and Xie Xuanyi relationship was purely adversarial, and meeting meant a struggle to the death.

Later, she realized something was off.

The situation seemed to be otherwise.

Xie Xuanyi, upon encountering the Paperman Sect, was determined to defeat the opponent fully, yet the Daoist Master opposing him didn’t seem to intend on delivering a "fatal blow".

Cheng Er’s silence now indicated that Xie Xuanyi had hit the nail on the head.

Until now, this "Second Master" still held a card that could reverse the desperate situation.

She hadn’t used this card in the ancient temple earlier.

Not unwilling, but unable.

Nine out of ten it was because Lu Yuzhen had issued a death command.

Therefore...

Ao Ying thoroughly understood why Xie Xuanyi wasn’t anxious because he had already grasped the vital point of the Paperman Sect!

In this scheme, not only Cheng Er was baited.

It seemed... so was Xie Xuanyi.

...

...

Broken Buddha Cliff.

Paper Snow fluttered.

The might of the Yang God Great Cultivator already enveloped the surroundings.

The Chi Fu Dragon Lord did not hesitate much, hovering at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault, he stretched out his palm, expressionlessly aiming at Xuan Jin.

"Step back."

This sentence was intended for Jiang Huang.

"Hey..."

Jiang Huang frowned, displaying a displeased expression.

She was very discontented with Chi Fu’s action.

This was a battle between herself and Xuan Jin, the victory and defeat yet to be determined, how could an outsider intercede?

"Chi Fu, what do you mean?"

With a snap.

Countless Phoenix Fire roiled in the Sky Vault.

Jiang Huang extended her hand, forcefully grabbing Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s arm, forcibly interrupting his charge.

"You are the future throne of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord slowly turned his head, speaking with an irrefutable tone: "The Great Palace Master entrusted me to you, I will not allow you any slightest mishap... Now that Jinli’s Divine Soul has awoken, leave the following matters to me."

However.

Jiang Huang still refused to yield.

She gazed coldly into Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s eyes: "What do you mean by not allowing me to have mishaps... Do you think I will lose?"

In terms of bloodline.

After obtaining the Holy Empress’s legacy, Jiang Huang had ascended to become a genuine "Pure Phoenix".

In combat of the same realm.

What does a Pure Phoenix fear from an opponent?

Now being forcibly interrupted by Chi Fu Dragon Lord, this could almost be considered an insult.

"..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord realized his actions were inappropriate.

After a moment of reflection, he ultimately conceded to the future throne.

"You are the future leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, I naturally don’t think you will lose."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord was silent for a moment, then said: "Only the matter of ’Xuan Jin’ relates to me... I can’t allow this matter to continue on unchecked. I can ensure that after the turmoil subsides... the battle will continue."

"Heh."

Jiang Huang coldly replied: "You think I’m a three-year-old child?"

Once Chi Fu makes a move.

Jinli will, nine out of ten times, end up with their Divine Soul shattered.

How can this be?

What she wants to fight against is none other than the Reincarnated Great Demon, and the once Nine Venerable!

"Jinli must be handed over to me... I intend to use this battle to charge through ’Harmonization’!"

Jiang Huang’s tone was firm and decisive.

She glanced casually, spotting Cheng Er not far away, laughing coldly: "If you absolutely have to act, why not kill her first."

"..."

This moment arrived.

There wasn’t much left to be discussed.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord sighed lightly, ceased arguing; after all, "Jinli" will ultimately be subdued, delivering them to Jiang Huang for suppression would only consume more time.

"Alright."

He once again mobilized his Divine Thought, consolidating the Great Dao Intent into the palm of his hand.

Above Broken Buddha Cliff.

Countless blazing heavenly clouds started to condense, transforming into Abyss Sea.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord unfolded the [Abyss Sea Dao Domain], concentrating this vast and grand Dao Domain power into his palm.

He had sealed Broken Buddha Cliff, ensuring Xuan Jin could not escape.

Then.

Chi Fu indifferently waved his sleeve, nonchalantly striking with one palm.

Rumble!

The finely honed [Abyss Sea] Dao Intent shot forth from his palm, turning into a brilliantly radiant thin beam!

Like an arrow, the beam fragmented and shattered the void wherever it passed!

Even with impaired deduction and an injured Heart Lake, Chi Fu Dragon Lord is indeed a Yang God Great Cultivator...

The power of this casual strike is simply unbearable for any Yin God cultivator!

Xuan Jin, Jiang Huang, Ao Ying.

Except for Xie Xuanyi.

No observer could capture the precise trajectory of this strike.

"Buzz—"

This beam shattered the void along its path, bringing forth a sound of explosion, arriving even faster than the sonic boom!

In just an instant.

Cheng Er’s chest burst open with numerous blood flowers.

The woman in blue fell heavily, crashing onto the snowy ground.

Countless Paper Snow whirled and danced wildly.

"..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord stared at the woman in blue lying in a pool of blood, his expression growing solemn; he didn’t perceive life ebbing away from the [Abyss Sea] Dao Intent, on the contrary, the pool brimming with exceptionally powerful and intense vitality.
