Chapter Eighty: Shu Mountain Essence Rainbow

  The place where Chu Yunfei and I agreed to meet is actually only two hundred miles away from Ao Lie's Wind Separation Palace, but the speed of Mu Yuan's dragon boat is really not that fast, and it's no different from an ordinary boat, so leisurely!

  Mù Yuán gazed into the distance from the bow of the ship, and saw that on the small island ahead, known as Chóng Míng Dǎo, there were rays of light crisscrossing, dark energy filling the sky, two streams of pure energy darting back and forth within the darkness, stirring up the dark energy into a turmoil. A large black hand appeared and disappeared within the darkness, constantly colliding with the two streams of pure energy. Even from a distance, Mù Yuán could hear the rumbling sound, and the surrounding seawater was also rising and falling continuously, making a loud whooshing noise!

  "It's the Dark Yin Black Killing Array!" Mu Yuan was shocked in his heart, and saw that the two streams of essence attached to the thunderfire, smashing onto the black air, rolling and tumbling, suppressing Chu Yunfei's big grasping hand, two blurry figures appeared and disappeared in the black air, surrounded by several fluttering flags, a main flag stood upright in the center, emitting endless black smoke and killing aura, it was indeed Chu Yunfei's magic flag!

  "Old Chu has finally made his move!" Mu Yuan was well aware of Chu Yunfei's current strength, and even he didn't dare say that he would definitely win. On the day they clashed at Lingyuan Reef, Mu Yuan had used the Six Paths of Light to temporarily suppress Chu Yunfei's Xuan Yin Hei Cuo Da Kun Na, but Chu Yunfei hadn't used his magic banner then, and it wasn't as loud as it was today. If Mu Yuan's guess was correct, the banners that were occasionally visible were the Xuan Yin Jiao's Xuan Yin Ju Shou Fan, which was said to have a total of 81 faces, and only when the Xuan Yin Great Array was deployed would its power be revealed. Now it seemed that Chu Yunfei had only refined a few faces!

  However, if it really can gather eighty-one facets and use the power of the formation to fight against the enemy, ordinary cultivators would not be able to withstand it! The more difficult it is to refine a magical artifact, the greater its power will be. For example, the Longevity Sword was refined by Old Dragon Soul for a thousand years, and it's also like this!

  Mu Yuan didn't care who was fighting against Chu Yunfei, he just gave a brief order to Qi Wei and then activated the Dragon King's power, wrapping himself in a purple aura as he charged forward!

  Xuanyin Sect has always been notorious for being an evil cult, and since Chu Yunfei is their enemy, he must be a righteous disciple. Those two sword auras are extremely sharp and powerful, with sword energy soaring into the sky, even surpassing Mu Yuan's Qingmu Divine Spear. Just one glance and it's clear that they're disciples of a prestigious sect. Since Mu Yuan doesn't want to reveal his identity, he can only use the Dragon King's technique to defend against the enemy. Besides, this is overseas, so using the Dragon Palace's techniques is the best choice!

  The Dragon King's movement was indeed a cultivation method for an undying body, but the purple light flashing around him was upright and majestic. As soon as Mu Yuan charged forward, he heard a clear and bright voice coming from afar, "Which sect's friend has come? Are you here to help me eliminate the evil spirits?"

  Mu Yuan smiled and raised his hand, releasing a flash of lightning that condensed into a thread-like shape, accompanied by faint crackling electricity, and followed the direction of the sound to investigate.

  The person hiding in the dark fog was shocked, and with a casual wave of his hand, a swift and agile rainbow-colored arc flew back to defend against Mu Yuan's Thunderbolt Rainbow Whip!

  Mù Yuán only felt a lightness in his hand, the Dragon King's condensed rainbow whip was suddenly shattered by the incoming sword energy, and immediately dispersed. The flying sword energy came relentlessly, Mù Yuán stretched out his hand and shook it, and the scattered electric lights gathered again. The Lingtong Jade Belt at his waist was also grasped in his hand, infused with his true energy, shaken into a straight line, and pierced out!

  The six combined sword pellets and the Azure Wood Thunder Sword on his body were his usual trademark, so naturally he couldn't reveal them here. Apart from this, there was only the newly acquired Bi Mo's artifact that was unknown to others, and its power was not small either, just right for use at this time.

  Unexpectedly, the power of that pure energy was really strong. Even with the mysterious and wonderful Lingtong Jade Belt, it couldn't be restrained. The thunderfire aura emitted by the pure energy shook everything open, and the jade belt's light scattered and flew chaotically up and down. For a time, it was hard to distinguish who was stronger between the jade belt and the pure energy!

  "It's truly an excellent flying sword, this Lingtong Jade Belt. In terms of power, it surpasses my Sword Bead and Flying Sword, yet I still can't gain the upper hand against the opponent. The opponent's swordsmanship is also sharp, no matter how I change my magic, it's just a normal impact, completely shattering everything!"

  At the moment of being shocked, it was also a thrill, and he had some admiration for the flying sword's transformed spirit. He couldn't help but release the innate energy from his dantian!

  The Changsheng Palace's innate one-qi grasping hand is a technique used by cultivators to rely on a strand of innate light and agile energy, merging it with their own true energy. It can be transformed and materialized externally. The deep-sea sunken silver and Tianhe star sand used by Mu Yuan are both top-notch materials. The power of this grasping hand is also extraordinary. A large green-glowing hand surrounded by countless seven-colored halos flew out from Mu Yuan's body, immediately transforming into a size of one zhang, directly grabbing towards the rainbow in the air!

  Lingtong Yudai also shook off the entanglement, withstanding two flashes of sword light and thunder fire, forming a ring, coordinating with the innate one-breath grasping hand, directly putting it on!

  "Good thief, you want to seize my divine sword!" Just as Mu Yuan heard a loud shout, a figure rushed out of the dark energy, raised his hand and a string of lightning flashed, covering the sky and earth!

  As soon as he saw the man's face clearly, Mu Yuan was shocked again. This person was someone he had seen before, and it was one of the two guests from Shu Mountain in Yaoshen Valley. At that time, they only exchanged a few words, but he knew that these two people were both masters of Condensing Frost and Refining Soul, with dual spirits of yin and yang refined to perfection. This time, they had met again overseas, and it was certain that they wanted to refine the so-called flying swords into pre-heavenly sword instruments, externalizing their bodies.

  "This flying sword is indeed good, no wonder these two have such intentions, this must be the Taichung Dry Thunder of Shushan, it's really formidable!"

  Mu Yuan's Dragon King's dynamic and vigorous lightning collided with the opponent's Taiqing Qianyan Divine Thunder, causing a loud rumbling sound that shook the heavens and earth. The dazzling light danced wildly, exerting immense pressure. It was clear that the Shu Mountain disciple's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, with the reputation of "one sword to break all techniques". He was using the External Dan Sword God technique, which was renowned for its unparalleled killing power among all sects!

  As expected, the two were evenly matched, and with a burst of energy, they clashed, their swords flashing in the air. The sound of their blows echoed through the forest, as if the trees themselves were being struck. The symbols on the ground seemed to come alive, swirling around them in a maddening dance. Suddenly, Mu Yuan's figure flashed once, twice, and then he vanished into the darkness, leaving behind only the faintest hint of his presence.

  The Shu Mountain swordsman did not pursue, beckoning to recall the flying sword of essence, and merged with another person in one place. The two stood shoulder to shoulder, surrounded by essence, and a burst of thunder and fire exploded, still rumbling towards the central black air. Mu Yuan passed through the dark fog, only feeling that the surrounding black smoke was swirling around him. Just now, he had been fighting with that person, but Chu Yunfei also saw clearly and did not use his killing move on him. Mu Yuan scattered the purple light slightly, and Chu Yunfei saw it clearly, rejoicing in his heart, letting him come in!

  On the central island of Chongming, on a small hill not far away, Chu Yunfei wore a black robe, with a giant banner inserted behind him, and black smoke billowed out, countless ferocious ghosts appeared and disappeared from the banner, guarding all directions. When the two met, they both smiled bitterly.

  "Chu Geer, how did you offend the people of Shushan? These two are not to be trifled with, they're really formidable!"

  Chu Yun shook his head, "It was an accidental encounter, the people of Shu Mountain are mostly arrogant and proud. Seeing that I'm not a decent person, they came up to interrogate me. Of course, I wouldn't admit it honestly. After one exchange, my true identity was discovered. We've been fighting for a day and night here. Fortunately, I have the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Flag and this Demon Flag to protect myself. Otherwise, you'd have to go to the underworld to find me!"

  Mù Yuán sat down beside Chǔ Yún Fēi, and saw the outer layer of Tàiqīng Qiān Yān's divine thunder, wave after wave, exploding with a loud noise, making the surrounding dark smoke and evil energy thin out. Two more sword lights rushed in again, Chǔ Yún Fēi still released the Xuán Yīn Heì Dà Qín Ná (Mysterious Dark Great Capturing Hand), Mù Yuán also released the Xiān Tiān Yī Qì Qín Ná Shǒu (Pre-Heavenly One Qi Capturing Hand), resisting the two sword lights, although unharmed, but to escape, it was extremely difficult!

  "Turns out he's a disciple of Shu Mountain, no wonder his swordsmanship is so sharp. But none of my spells can affect him. However, these two sword lights are top-notch, even better than the Yin Su sword I refined with dragon horns. If I could snatch them over, haha!" Chu Yunfei joked with Mu Yuan, who also smiled wryly, "Your thoughts are really identical to mine, I also thought this flying sword was pretty good and wanted to grab it earlier, but the opponent isn't a pushover either. After a failed attempt, I retreated in here!"

  "Xiao Mu, what about those talismans you used against me that day? I remember they were quite troublesome. If we just charge in and stain the flying sword with them, won't that do the trick?" Chu Yunfei suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

  Mu Yuan smiled wryly, "Your Xuan Yin Sect's Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Flag is most skilled in filthy treasures and flying swords. Look at that black air attaching itself to it, immediately being dispersed by the sword light. My Brightness Ferry Chant is also useless, I'm afraid a single encounter would be enough to scatter it. The Shu Mountain Sword Code is too overbearing, but it can indeed be used against two people!"

  Mù Yuán slightly hesitated, shook his hand and released six talismans. One of them had already transformed into a purple light flying dragon, which was the Purple Thunder Dragon Talisman. The other Northern Dark Water Talisman had also changed shape, but it wasn't clear yet. It vaguely resembled a turtle shape, which Mù Yuán could faintly see. The three Longevity Qi and Furnace True Qi that had condensed and taken shape still appeared as a ball of colorful light, without any distinct form.

  Six paths of light flashed into the dark energy, and after a few flashes, they disappeared without a trace. Mu Yuan and Chu Yunfei exchanged a glance, and at the same time, they let out a loud shout and rose up. This time, Mu Yuan went all out, using his innate one-breath grasping hand to fiercely grab onto the spiritual rainbow that was entwining him. The Lingtong Jade Belt also wrapped around it, with sword aura coiling around his left hand, stirring up the Longsheng Sword within his body. Although it wasn't convenient to reveal it, the sword energy was still sharp and unmatched, directly pouncing towards one of them!

  Chu Yunfei was the same, with a large dark and gloomy aura swirling around him. He worked together with the Xuan Yin beast flag to wrap up a group of spiritual energy, took out the Yīn Sù sword from his own body, and also grabbed the magic flag behind him, killing another person in the same way!
