Remould the Glory of Sword Art
Chapter 43 - 43 43 The Holder of Phoenix Fire

43: Chapter 43 The Holder of Phoenix Fire 43: Chapter 43 The Holder of Phoenix Fire Jia Liu’s last words carried the enchantment of the Divine Soul.

In the South Border, among the great sects that cultivated evil ways, except for their core skills, which they kept secret, the lesser techniques and arts would often be generously shared with each other…

This appearance, neither human nor ghost, half-Buddha half-demon, was obviously learned from the Hehuan Sect, infamous alongside the Yin Mountain and the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

“Disgusting.”

Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Soul was like an immovable rock, unswayed by Jia Liu’s soul-hooking technique.

With a cold snort, he shattered the seductive sounds!

Hearing this crisp and decisive evaluation.

Jia Liu, who had been pretending to be composed, suddenly looked ugly.

No longer disguising herself, she let out a shrill scream, her four arms forming seals simultaneously.

The previously quiet Chenqing Mountain instantly became “lively” as a crimson hand burst through the soil right where Xie Xuanyi stood.

“Sure enough, you’ve refined more than one Living Corpse Puppet?”

With an expressionless face, Xie Xuanyi stomped down hard, crushing the hand into the ground, smashing it to pieces!

Blood splattered, burning several holes in his black robe.

Xie Xuanyi squinted towards the distant mountains.

With Jia Liu’s seals, this once silent and peaceful ridge became an expanse of wailing, turning into a chaotic graveyard in an instant!

Boom, boom, boom!

One palm after another, one head after another, burst out of the ground like bamboo shoots in spring!

More than a dozen figures struggled to the surface, all Living Corpse Puppets refined by Jia Liu.

Such things weren’t unusual for the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

The plan to exchange Bai Ze’s finger bone was delayed by three days because Jia Liu needed to prepare the “Living Corpses”…

For her, the significance of this mission was immense.

She had to kill Yi San and take away the finger bone, neither could be missed.

So she could not afford any mistakes and had to make comprehensive preparations!

It was already quite a feat to reach Lichao City under Qing State’s strict prohibition.

To avoid detection by prying eyes and not be discovered, Jia Liu did not carry her Lifebound Puppet with her.

In order to ensure a smooth acquisition of the finger bone, she chose Chenqing Mountain as the selected exchange location after careful consideration.

Many years ago, Chenqing Mountain.

Was a mountain of graves.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect was fond of refining Living Corpses, but if there really were no “living people”…

using the dead as a substitute was actually possible.

These dead puppets crawling out of the graves had only one purpose.

That was to bring Jia Liu’s Blood Refining Skill to its ultimate form!

A human wave strategy was always a good tactic for the Heavenly Puppet Sect cultivators, no matter when!

As long as there were enough dead puppets, even the strongest physique and the most solid treasure could be corrupted and shattered by the tainted blood.

“…there are really a lot of them.”

Xie Xuanyi stood in the very center of this “sea of people.”

He chuckled, “It’s just a pity that although you know how to refine corpses, you don’t know how to craft arrays.

Otherwise, you might have had a chance to keep me today.”

Hearing this arrogant statement, Jia Liu slightly furrowed her brows.

“To deal with you, these are already enough,” she said with a cold laugh.

“You should feel fortunate to see my dead puppets on your deathbed!”

She raised her four arms, about to continue casting her spell.

“Swoosh!”

A clear sound of breaking air rang out.

Xie Xuanyi stepped forward, breaking a piece of purple bamboo.

The shattered bamboo shot up like a Flying Sword, but this time it was not used for killing— the broken piece of bamboo skimmed off the ground like a Flying Sword, while Xie Xuanyi, who had kicked the bamboo, lightly stepped on the makeshift Purple Bamboo Flying Sword, turning both man and sword into a long rainbow soaring from the ground.

“???”

Jia Liu, who instinctively retreated to defend, paused for a moment, her eyes then bulging wide.

The streak of light did not attack her.

Instead, it swept over her head!

Sword Control, flight!

Sword Cultivator!

Was this kid really a Sword Cultivator?

According to the information she had on “Yi San,” his weapon was clearly a spear, he was extremely skilled in close combat, and supposed to have a very strong physique…

To ensure a mishap-free killing of Yi San, Jia Liu deliberately spent three days setting up this murderous ambush, but she never expected such an ironic turn of events.

The information provided by the Demon Country about “Yi San” was completely fake!

This kid was not only good at fighting but also full of deceit, and he even kept a secret of Sword Control, flight!

“Don’t even think about running away!”

Jia Liu’s vertical pupil widened as she urgently deployed her Blood Refining Skill.

Turning into a streak of blood, she shot up from the ground, chasing after him.

The dead puppets that had crawled out of the graves of Chenqing Mountain struggled to adjust, hastily following their master in pursuit…

But since most of them were incomplete in their former lives, merely serving as cannon fodder for Blood Refining, even though they ran desperately, they were still left behind by the two soaring figures.

“Stay right where you are!”

Jia Liu roared in rage, seeing the distance between them growing, she quickly urged her Blood Refining Skill.

The vertical pupil on her forehead opened, shooting out a crimson beam of light!

Xie Xuanyi, standing on the Purple Bamboo Flying Sword, heard the rushing wind behind him and slightly furrowed his brow.

He took a deep breath, pretending to be slightly slow to react, and as he turned his head back, he was just pierced through the shoulder by the Blood Refining Skill’s light.

“Hiss!”

The Heavenly Puppet Sect’s attack method was truly ruthless.

In just an instant, Xie Xuanyi felt as if his shoulder had been shattered… He grunted softly, his complexion suddenly turning pale.

This time it wasn’t a pretense, but a deadly move from the crazy woman of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, even more vicious than he had imagined.

The blood of the Crimson Cave Heaven erupted directly at the location of his shoulder!

Seizing this opportunity, Xie Xuanyi endured the severe pain and glanced back.

Jia Liu had already seen red and, along with a host of Living Corpse Puppets, was desperately chasing after him!

Very good…

He was hooked.

Everything was worth it.

The Flying Sword wobbled, then regained its balance.

Xie Xuanyi bit the tip of his tongue, gathered his spirit, steadied the sword, turned direction, and headed straight toward the direction of the Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refinement Array!

…

…

“Going smoothly?”

“Or not?”

At the top of Little Desolate Mountain, Deng Baiyi clutched the colorful Main Array Talisman, seated with knees hugged, constantly muttering to herself.

Her gaze did not leave the direction of Chenqing Mountain for a moment.

If possible, she would rather spend the night alone, muttering to herself like the last departure in Taian City…

When they met again, Xie Zhen would tell her everything went smoothly, the great array was unnecessary, and the trouble was over, in his usual breezy and composed manner.

But fate does not follow one’s wishes.

Deng Baiyi felt an increasing unease at the bottom of her heart, and she soon stood up.

A flock of crows took flight in the night sky in the direction of Chenqing Mountain, and as the echoes of their screeching filled the air, her unease reached its peak.

A familiar figure appeared in her field of vision.

Covered in fresh blood, with a pale face, Xie Xuanyi was stepping on broken Purple Bamboo, flying toward her at an extremely fast speed—

Deng Baiyi subconsciously gripped the talisman.

“Don’t be hasty in activating the array!”

The voice transmission of Xie Xuanyi reached her ears, “Wait until everyone is inside the array!”

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment.

“Everyone?”

What the hell did he mean by everyone?

More than one person?

The next moment she understood what Xie Xuanyi meant…

a wisp of murderous, blood-red light closely followed behind Xie Xuanyi’s Flying Sword, and after that was a dense mass of Living Corpse Puppets racing on the ground!

In an instant, Chenqing Mountain shook violently, and even the mountain top of Little Desolate Mountain started to tremble!

Deng Baiyi’s complexion suddenly went pale.

This was the first time she had seen such a scene!

Xie Xuanyi controlled the Flying Sword, circling in the air to intentionally let those Living Corpse Puppets catch up a bit, before he, along with the sword, crashed into the Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refinement Array.

Sure enough, the blood-red light followed closely behind!

Jia Liu, without the slightest suspicion, led the Living Corpse Puppets, charging over with great momentum!

She must kill Yi San tonight!

Deng Baiyi held her breath.

“Activate the array, now!”

Xie Xuanyi’s hoarse voice exploded in her ear like thunder, and Deng Baiyi reacted instantly.

She exhaled a foul breath and activated the great array.

“Hum—”

At this moment.

Time and space atop the desolate mountain seemed to freeze.

The Living Corpse Puppets continued to charge forward, oblivious, and Jia Liu, whose eyes were red with killing intent, realized something was wrong.

She saw fine, scalding-hot, exquisite red lines standing straight up in the void before her.

The wild grasses that flew up at that moment were suddenly ignited.

And then the entire mountain.

An entire mountain.

Instantly lit by myriad threads of “fiery light,” the patterns that stood erect in the void burned wildly, turning into streaks of scorching hot Phoenix Fire!

Boom boom boom—

Deng Baiyi’s clothes fluttered in the strong wind, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling, her entire being transformed, like a deity descending to earth, commanding all in the mortal realm.

She held the Main Array Talisman.

And also held nearly ten thousand dancing red Phoenix Fires in the void!
