Chapter 1479 - 75: Borrowed Sword (Final)_2
Sure, here is the translated text:

...
...
Heavenly Phoenix Palace, Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven, the deepest part.
A figure clothed in red was wrapped in dozens of chains, immersed in a sea of fire, sinking continuously like a stubborn stone, sinking deeper and deeper.
Jiang Huang has been cultivating in the Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven for two years.
This was the first time she knew that this cave heaven held such a peculiar spot.
The Great Palace Master forced her into the deepest part of the Karmic Fire Sea.
Because of the Pure Phoenix Blood flowing in her veins, she did not die instantly; her skin continuously cracked and healed. This Pure Phoenix Blood was both a blessing and a curse, with the Karmic Fire tearing apart her physical body and injecting new strength into it.
Two Great Dao were constantly intertwining in the Karmic Fire Sea.
Karmic Fire, Lotus...
These two Tao Realms sought unity, yet could never achieve it.
Not only due to insufficient opportunity and creation but also for a very crucial reason.
Divine Sea Split.
At this moment, the red-clad figure suppressed at the bottom of the Karmic Fire Sea lifted her head, her cheeks reflecting completely different sceneries.
Half composed, half in pain.
The transaction at Broken Buddha Cliff... actually had no special aspect, Xie Xuanyi was not a good person. The reason he let Chi Fu Dragon Lord live with a high-handed gesture was to draw out Jiang Huang’s "Second Divine Soul." The struggle between these two Divine Souls was unfair, Heavenly Phoenix Palace applied pressure everywhere, trying to guide the First Divine Soul to gain the upper hand.
What Xie Xuanyi did was simply leave a glimmer of hope for the "Second Divine Soul."
At this moment.
Two strands of consciousness were constantly entwining.
The Great Palace Master aimed to use the [Karmic Fire Sea] to completely suppress the Second Divine Soul, forever eliminating hidden dangers...
This idea was good.
But unfortunately, some things in this world cannot be divined by the [Star Gate].
"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"
Bottom of the Karmic Fire Sea.
The red-clad figure bound by countless chains slowly raised their palm, and the iron chains stretched taut with a swish.
Jiang Huang forcefully "fished" for something in the sea of fire.
In the surging sea of fire, a sound of something cutting through the air could be heard. Accompanied by Jiang Huang’s hand motion, something indeed came swaying from the depths of the Karmic Fire Sea capable of burning everything.
It was a hairpin.
The red-clad woman grasped the hairpin with great difficulty, narrowly yet successfully.
The pain on half of her face instantly vanished, quickly turning to calm.
...
...
"Tsk tsk tsk, Xie Xuanyi, you are still alive, truly surprising."
The outer edge of Great Ape Mountain Territory, deep among the ridges.
At the location of the bonfire.
Cui Zhen with arms crossed, circled the wheelchair with great interest.
"Is that so..."
Xie Xuanyi closed his eyes to rest, lazily saying: "Really sorry, I didn’t die at the Great Palace Master’s hands, sorry for the disappointment."
"No need to apologize, I am delighted to see you back alive. Because you are destined to die at my hands."
Cui Zhen said with a gleeful expression: "But... how is the taste of being hit by the Great Palace Master’s ’Karmic Fire’? Not pleasant, right?"
"..."
Xie Xuanyi was silent.
He lowered his head looking at his wounds which had improved quite a bit; Jiang Huang had struck decisively at Broken Buddha Cliff, ultimately extinguishing half of the Karmic Fire. Now, the other half group of "Karmic Fire" blooming at the chest was only the size of a baby’s fist, not particularly conspicuous.
Behind Xie Xuanyi’s wheelchair.
Ao Ying’s body was stiff, her fingertips piercing the palm, knuckles turning white from exertion.
She was very nervous.
At this moment, the two bantering fellows in front of her... were probably the most "handsome" two men of the Human Race and the Demon Country. Of course, the reason for her nervousness was not the appearance of the people in front, but the fact that she actually witnessed the legendary [Mo Zhen].
Legend had it that Mo Zhen Venerable could eat several Cave Heaven Demons in one sitting.
Legend had it that Mo Zhen Venerable had the strength to move mountains, ferocious and terrifying, a mere glance would cause sleepless nights.
Legend had it...
Ao Ying grew up hearing tales of Mo Zhen, and seeing him for the first time in person, only now realizing how unreliable the legends of the Demon Country were. The sickly yet handsome Great Demon before her looked nothing like the legend, not only possessing a face more beautiful than a woman’s but also appeared very "kind-hearted."
Who would have thought that Mo Zhen and Xie Xuanyi shared such a relationship?
In the time of a half incense stick, both attacked several times back and forth without holding back, showing an essence of love and strife, yet stopping at the stage of "fighting is affection, scolding is love."
Eventually, Cui Zhen glanced from the corner of his eye, changing the topic and asked curiously: "Is this your newly recruited maid?"
"Maid?"
Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly: "Consider it so."
What does a maid do?
Serve tea, pour water, wipe the body, massage the legs... and push the wheelchair.
Hmm, upon closer thought, Ao Ying’s tasks really were no different from a maid’s.
"..."
A black line flashed across Ao Ying’s face, originally wanting to explain, but in the end, held it back.
Forget it, forget it.
Maid it is.
If not for Xie Xuanyi taking her in, she currently wouldn’t know what kind of life she’d be living. The surname Xie at least gave her an identity... The maid of Da Sui Sword Palace Master is definitely far better than being a wanted fugitive in Chiling City.
"In fact, if you hadn’t shown up, the two of us would soon meet."
Cui Zhen suddenly spoke.
He smiled saying: "Ye Ling has spies inside the Heavenly Phoenix Palace... I have already noticed the matters of Lushui Cave Heaven."
"Oh?"
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.
"The movement of Chi Fu Dragon Lord is not a secret."
Cui Zhen shrugged, saying: "But to be honest, even if I went to Broken Buddha Cliff, it’s not for you..."
He’s been pursuing Xuan Jin Cheng Er.
The movement of Chi Fu Dragon Lord is highly related to these two.
Therefore, even if Cui Zhen set off, it was directed towards "Xuan Jin," but fate tied these fellows together early on. If the battle at Broken Buddha Cliff dragged a bit longer, Cui Zhen would appear, hence two who originally shouldn’t have met, would again meet.
"You’re quite brave."
Cui Zhen gazed at Xie Xuanyi’s wound, speaking with layers of meaning: "You dare to return?"
Regarding this evaluation, Ao Ying wholeheartedly agreed.
In her view, having been wounded by the Great Palace Master, the best decision should be to head south.
Not northward.
"Why would I not dare?"
Yet Xie Xuanyi heard the different meaning in that sentence.
Cui Zhen was not referring to the Great Palace Master.
Being heavily injured and having experienced the battle at Broken Buddha Cliff, Xie Xuanyi was in an unprecedented weak state... Logically, he should stay clear of all strangers.
Including Cui Zhen.
After all, their stances differ, and in this world, there’s too much betrayal for favors.
"You’re not afraid of falling into my hands?"
Cui Zhen said, grinning.
Survived the Great Palace Master, lived through Broken Buddha Cliff...
But the most deadly blow often comes from the most unexpected "behind."
"If I feared you, I wouldn’t have returned."
Xie Xuanyi shook his head, indifferent and calm.
He understands Cui Zhen, knows his character, and knows Cui Zhen wouldn’t resort to dirty sneak attacks. But this is not why Xie Xuanyi returned here. From beginning to end, Xie Xuanyi never considered Cui Zhen as his "bottom card," or a "reliable" support.
"At Broken Buddha Cliff... I alone cut down everyone..."
Xie Xuanyi slightly smiled, looking at the handsome Great Demon, saying word by word.
"Should you wish to try my Flying Sword, feel free to strike."
At the end of the day.
The so-called number one below Yang God is only Yin God.
A definite strength gap exists between the two.
According to the Divine Sea Contract.
Currently, it’s still Xie Xuanyi "shielding" Cui Zhen.
"Don’t tell me you rushed back from Lushui Cave Heaven overnight just to put on this act before me..."
Cui Zhen stared at the guy in the wheelchair for a long time.
"..."
Xie Xuanyi was noncommittal.
Cui Zhen’s face was dissatisfied, yet helpless, ultimately biting his tongue until laughter escaped through gritted teeth: "Alright, you win."
Must admit.
In terms of strength.
I’m truly no match for Xie Xuanyi right now.
Not even close.
