On the other side, Yuan Yi was also caught in a bitter battle. Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes were empty, his movements were as fast as lightning; he only knew how to attack. Yuan Yi was already prepared for this. Unexpectedly, after exchanging several stances, he felt that her internal energy had made great progress. Moreover, this change was not due to her own strength. Could it be that there was something he did not know about this' Afterimage Sword '? All along, he had underestimated Cheng Jiaxuan too much. This time, even if he turned around, he would not be able to catch up. In a moment of carelessness, the front of his robe was cut open. Fortunately, it did not injure his vital organs.
Nangong Xue saw the opportunity; she stepped out from Li Yijie's side, raised her hand and waved repeatedly, throwing several secret projectiles. In this instant, she had changed seven, eight directions. Jiang Liechen's sleeve moved, deflecting the secret projectiles, which were flying toward the Xuan Shuang. At the same time, he waved his hand to attack Nangong Xue. Li Yijie quickly leaped and raised his sword in front of Nangong Xue, protecting her as she retreated. Then he turned his hand and thrust his sword forward.
The Xuan Shuang was watching the battle from the side. He casually swung his Glorious Sun Wheel in a semicircle to deflect the secret projectiles. With this sudden change of direction, the secret projectiles flew toward Li Yijie.
Jiang Liechen raised his sleeve to block, but the sword pierced through his raised sleeve. Li Yijie originally wanted to force him to retreat with his sword, but he never thought that he would succeed. This was beyond his expectation. Thinking that this might be a trap, he hastily pulled his sword, but it was as if his sword was locked by a strong suction force, it did not move an inch. Immediately afterwards, the secret projectiles arrived in front of his face. Along the way, the two men's attack was even more powerful than before.
Li Yijie was greatly restrained, he could not release his sword halfway, so he had no choice but to dodge sideways, narrowly avoiding three secret projectiles. But in the end, the secret projectiles came from an unexpected direction, exceeding his calculation angle, and unexpectedly they moved two inches lower. As the saying goes, a slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake. Li Yijie was also hit by a hidden weapon and his shoulder was pierced by the hidden weapon. Blood splattered everywhere.
Jiang Liechen gave a cold laugh and pushed out his palm, landing a heavy blow on his chest. Immediately, his robe's sleeves were glued to his body, pulling him up and flinging him far away. He collided with Nangong Xue on the side, and the two of them flew out together, crashing into the dense canopy.
Xuan Shuang clenched his fists and held onto the Sun and Moon Wheels, forcing himself to move forward step by step. At the same time, he silently checked the situation of the enemy and himself. Just now, he was recuperating and had not made a move. Only then could he be considered to have gradually recovered his exhausted true essence. However, Jiang Liechen's internal energy had not been disturbed in the slightest after repeated battles. The difference between a human and a devil was something he was most unwilling to admit.
Before the two of them could exchange blows, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind them. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue each stood on top of a neighboring tree branch, each holding a long sword. Nangong Xue laughed coldly and said, "Seven Demons Head, you were too careless. Before this, didn't you plan so hard just to separate me from my martial brother? "Li Yijie also said," That's right. I have to thank you for inadvertently creating an opportunity for us. "
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said, "Nangong Xue, I should have killed you a long time ago!" He saw the long sword in her hand. The hilt of the sword was black and translucent, with a faint layer of watery luster. In the dense fog, it had a sharpness that could pierce through a puzzle. The hilt of the sword was made of the most precious jade, sparkling and translucent. Even from the bottom of the tree, he could feel waves of coldness spreading out. He blurted out, "Is this … the Cang Quan Dragon's Chant?"
Nangong Xue said, "That's right! This sword was given to me by the Fallen Hall Master. I think if he knew that I used this sword to avenge him, he would be very pleased. "
Jiang Liechen said angrily, "Shut up! You don't have the right to mention his name! You want to avenge him? Who do you think you are? "
Nangong Xue laughed coldly and said, "There's no harm in trying. This sword's murderous aura is too strong. I once swore that I wouldn't use it. But against a demon like you, it's a different story! Please come and try the Cang Quan Dragon's Chant for the first time in many years! " Together with Li Yijie, the two of them brandished their swords at the same time. Layers of sword qi lingered on the hilt of the swords, like a whirlpool tornado. It grew stronger and stronger, shooting straight into the clouds and seeming to converge in midair.
Jiang Liechen waved his sleeves and advanced. His inner energy turned into a red light and attacked upwards, wanting to cut off the two bridges in the middle. Xuan Xue attacked with his Sun Wheel. After hitting the tree trunk, he quickly turned back and used the force of the collision to dissolve most of the force. The remaining force attacked again, but at this time, Li Yijie and Nangong Xue's inner energy spread out, forming a protective force around their bodies. They were not afraid of external attacks. The red light circled around the two of them for a while, then slowly dissipated.
Li Yijie and Nangong Xue looked at each other, then leapt up at the same time. Streams of vital energy wrapped around their swords even more tightly. If not for the Cang Quan Dragon's Chant's sparkling and translucent hilt, it would have been difficult to distinguish the two swords. Jiang Liechen attacked several times in succession, but he retreated in vain. At this time, Li Yijie kicked off the tree trunk behind him and leapt in front of Nangong Xue. The two swords drew closer and closer. Finally, in a burst of brilliance, they merged into one, just like they had done several times in the past.
Jiang Liechen did not know how many times he had suffered under this move, but he was already afraid. He unconsciously took a step back, and the protective red light around his body shone brightly. This was also him strengthening his defense, intentionally or unintentionally, in order to guard against the unexpected. Just being able to force him to the point where he had to seek self-protection was already an unattainable achievement. Li Yijie shouted loudly and waved his sword to chop down at him. At this time, both sides were staking everything on this one throw, and were also afraid of each other.
Xuan Xue held his Sun Wheel and Moon Wheel tightly, with several concealed weapons between his fingers. He did not want to take advantage of the other's precarious situation, so he was still hesitating. On Mount Hua's Chaoyang Terrace, he had seen the two of them use their swords together with his own eyes. He had also personally experienced its power. He did not know if Jiang Liechen could deal with it. If he wanted to kill him, only he had the qualifications to do so.
The long sword chopped down on his raised sleeve, but was immediately deflected to the side. Jiang Liechen was startled and curious. The sword just now was very different from what he had experienced in the past. It really puzzled him. Did Li Yijie and Xuan Xue 'er's strength deteriorate, or were they deliberately mystifying him to make him lower his guard? Since this matter was not clear, he did not dare to rashly attack. For the time being, he still chose to defend.
Li Yijie and Xuan Xue were also complaining incessantly. They did not expect Jiang Liechen's strength to be this strong. Not only did they not gain the slightest advantage in the previous attack, they could not even be considered evenly matched. Before they could attack at close range, they were first repelled by the protective zhenqi around their bodies. The aftermath of the previous attack was completely counterattacked, landing on the two of them. They could feel that Nangong Xue, who was beside them, was also slightly shaken, and her internal energy was in chaos.
Both sides had probed each other several times, and at a glance the difference in strength between them was obvious. Jiang Liechen thought to himself that in the past, it was because he was overly fearful of this move that affected his accurate judgment of the enemy's situation, causing him to lose the initiative and fall into a passive position. It seemed that this move was harmful to him in the past, but now that he had experienced rebirth in the Heavenly Fire and obtained the power of a demon, with this level of strength, it naturally could not cause him any harm. Since this was the case, he would still be in control of the battle from now on. He immediately counterattacked, his internal energy endlessly spreading outwards.
This small area shook again. Xuan Shuang used the "Thousand Catty Drop" kungfu, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue's bodies were also swaying in the strong wind brought about by the internal energy, and they almost could not hold their swords steadily. Li Yijie said in a low voice, "Xueer, using this move consumes too much energy. If we can't quickly defeat the enemy and win, I'm afraid we won't even have the strength to fight back later. It seems like it won't work on him. Why don't we withdraw our joint attack for now? "
Nangong Xue said, "But Shixiong …" She originally wanted to tell him that if he gave up now, there would be no more chances. If he persevered, perhaps there would be some results, even if it was just a small chance. However, the reason why this couple's technique could combine two swords into one was precisely because the two people's minds were aligned. Li Yijie already had the intention to avoid the battle, and saw the light on the sword quickly fade away until the hilt split again, and the sword once again split into two.
This battle was a reversal of the situation, but it also greatly disappointed Li Yijie and Nangong Xue. Previously, they had practically used this move as their final trump card, thinking that no matter how bad the situation was, as long as they could seize the opportunity to use it, they would definitely be able to defeat the enemy. The reason why they had failed the previous two times was because they had given up halfway. Unexpectedly, the power of a demon was far beyond their imagination. No wonder everyone had repeatedly emphasized the "difference between humans and demons" to him, and no wonder Jiang Liechen had racked his brains to find a way to become a demon.
Thinking back to the Demonic Blood Cave, he had been only one step away from becoming a demon, but in the end, Nangong Xue and Xuan Shuang had persuaded him to give up. Was he really wrong at that time? Was it because of his own selfish desires that he had brought disaster to the entire Jianghu? If even the joint attack passed down by his master and master's wife was not effective, what other attack would be effective?
Taking advantage of Jiang Liechen's unpreparedness, Xuan Shuang took the opportunity to sneak to Li Yijie's side, took out a small bottle from his bosom, and said in a low voice, "Hey, smear this on your sword."
Li Yijie had not seen the substance, but first he smelled a strange odor coming from the mouth of the bottle. At first it was pungent, but then it became spicy, so pungent that he was about to cry. "What … what is in this bottle?" he asked. Xuan Shuang impatiently said, "Why do you care so much? Just do as I say! What, you don't believe me? "
Li Yijie could not completely trust Xuan Shuang. Hearing that he wanted to smear something of unknown origin on his sword, even if this sword could not be considered a treasure, even if it had been repeatedly derided as a "broken copper sword" by bystanders, in any case, it had been with him for many years. He was afraid that something might happen to it.
Xuan Shuang impatiently waited, so he directly lifted the tip of his sword and tipped the bottle over. A stream of blood-like bright red liquid flowed out from the mouth of the bottle, dripping down the blade of the sword. At the same time, a sizzling sound could be heard, as if food was being cooked in a pan of oil. At the same time, the long sword turned a fiery red similar to blood, and the sword hilt was extremely hot, as if he was holding a piece of burning coal. Now, not to mention fighting, even holding the sword steadily became a problem. "What's going on?" he asked in a low voice.
Xuan Shuang indifferently said, "Your attacks are not effective because you cannot break through his protective barrier. Use this sword to try, you can achieve the effect you want. " Seeing Li Yijie's confused expression, he impatiently waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, you don't need to know." Nangong Xue also nodded and said, "Shixiong, let's just treat this as a Hail Mary effort."
Li Yijie didn't think too much about it, and finally made up his mind, brandishing his sword to attack. But he didn't hear Xuan Shuang's low voice behind his back, "I can only say that this might be the case, but it shouldn't be wrong …"
Jiang Liechen had just repelled Li Yijie, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Li Yijie relentlessly charging at him again. He coldly laughed and said, "What, you still don't want to give up? Striving to improve is a good thing, but what's terrible is being too courageous and not knowing your own limits. "Li Yijie shouted," Stop being so long-winded! This time I'm going to take care of you! "He raised his sword high and attacked ten times in succession.
Jiang Liechen coldly laughed and said, "Even if you use your two swords in unison, you won't be able to hurt me in the slightest. Right now, you're just one person, what can you do to me? " Noticing that the blade of Li Yijie's sword was as red as blood, he coldly laughed and said, "Other people often say that they are bristling with anger, but how come you're different? You've transferred all your anger to your sword?"
Li Yijie shouted, "Let's see who's the real deal, what's the point of talking?" Jiang Liechen coldly laughed and said, "Very well, then I'll fulfill your wish. Later I'll send you to the Western Paradise." He flicked his sleeve toward the top of Li Yijie's head.
Li Yijie hastily moved half a step away and raised his sword to block the attack. Where Jiang Liechen's sleeve made contact with his sword, the red light surrounding his body suddenly dimmed, like a layer of frost dispersing. But because most of his body was still enveloped by the red light, even if there was a gap, other people would not be able to see clearly.
