Chapter 74

Facing the middle-aged man who was approaching step by step, Gu Fei's entire body tensed up, and a faint crackling sound emerged from within him. This was the result of the primordial energy surging through his body, coursing through his bones and joints, producing a sharp sound.

The middle-aged man, with a gloomy expression, seemed to transform into a divine sword drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling and sharp aura that made Gu Fei feel an immense sense of danger.

Gu Fei did not dare to be negligent and quickly spread the divine weapon essence, which had been transformed from the purple short rod, throughout his body. The divine weapon essence, like fine threads, permeated his flesh and blood.

His skin instantly turned a purple-gold color, resembling a body forged from fine iron, giving off a sense of overwhelming strength.

"Hmph! Struggling in your last moments, prepare to die!" The middle-aged man sneered, then formed a sword gesture with his hand and pointed it at Gu Fei. The fiery red sword light that had been circling around him suddenly burst into brilliance, emitting an overwhelming chill, and shot towards Gu Fei.

This was the sword of a Sword Immortal, capable of killing enemies from a hundred steps away. Some powerful practitioners could even use their flying swords to take heads from a thousand miles away, making killing as easy as taking something from a pocket.

Moreover, the flying swords used by those who practiced the way of the Sword Immortal were not ordinary objects. They were physical entities refined from the rarest metals in the world.

Sword practitioners dedicated their lives to their swords, breathing and exhaling with them daily, using their own essence, energy, and spirit to communicate with the sword, refining it to be full of vitality, with unfathomable power.

With Gu Fei's current physical strength, he could withstand the ordinary magical treasures of cultivators, but it was difficult for him to resist the flying sword of a Sword Immortal, refined from the essence of metals.

However, Gu Fei had the technique of transforming weapons into his body. He had melted the purple short rod passed down from his master into his body, and with the divine weapon essence spread throughout his body, he could ignore the sharpness of the flying sword.

"Want to kill me? Not that easy!" Gu Fei roared, and with a powerful punch, he struck the red sword light that was about to strike him. The force of his punch surged out like a rolling river.

However, the middle-aged man's cultivation was a major realm higher than Gu Fei's. The techniques of the Sword Immortal, though a side branch of Daoism, were the most powerful and had astonishing power.

Gu Fei's punch, which surged forward, was directly split by the red sword light. The sword light and the punch collided instantly.

"Boom!" A burst of intense light erupted from the point of impact. Gu Fei felt an irresistible force surge through his fist, causing his entire right side to go numb, and he involuntarily took four or five steps back.

"Roar!" Gu Fei roared, his long hair dancing. His eyes glowed with a terrifying ferocity. "Peng!" The ground beneath his feet was crushed into large pits, and he desperately stopped his retreat. In the end, he did not take that sixth step.

Because behind him was a bottomless abyss. If he took that sixth step, he would fall into the abyss.

"Good boy, what kind of power is this?" The middle-aged man's gloomy face revealed a hint of demonic aura. He was very surprised that this young man, whose cultivation was only at the Awakening stage, could directly use his flesh and blood to resist his flying sword, which was far beyond his expectations.

It turned out that this young man possessed such power. No wonder he couldn't be killed even when he was attacked in the Tai Xuan Sect. The middle-aged man was shocked.

This middle-aged man was a practitioner of the demonic path, but he practiced the orthodox way of the Sword Immortal. Last time, at the foot of Cui Ling Peak in the Tai Xuan Sect, he wanted to kill Gu Fei and frame the Guang Cheng Immortal Sect, thus inciting disputes among the three major Daoist sects, allowing the demonic forces to benefit.

Unfortunately, the high-ranking members of the three major Daoist sects were not simple-minded people who only practiced Daoism and meditation.

Although the Tai Xuan Sect was secretly investigating the attack on Gu Fei, they did not use it as a reason to confront the Guang Cheng Immortal Sect.

"What kind of power is this, what does it have to do with you!" Gu Fei, like a cornered fierce beast, stared fiercely at the middle-aged man. His entire body's muscles and bones trembled, and the vast primordial energy hidden in his flesh and blood burst forth, instantly restoring the half of his body that had been numbed by the sword's aura.

"Also, why should I talk so much to a dying man?" The middle-aged man said, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red sword light shot towards Gu Fei, enveloping all directions, leaving him no place to hide.

The middle-aged man seemed to want to force Gu Fei to jump off the cliff.

"Zhao Xuanji, stop your brutality!" A loud shout suddenly came, followed by a vast wave of magical power from the forest behind. Countless golden threads shot out silently from the forest, heading towards the middle-aged man.

"Dan Chenzi?" The middle-aged man was greatly startled, and the fiery red sword light that had reached Gu Fei was immediately recalled to protect him.

"Clang, clang..." Sparks flew as the middle-aged man used the sword light to protect himself, blocking the countless golden threads. The golden threads and the sword light collided, producing a series of sharp and clear sounds.

The countless golden threads seemed endless and had a life of their own, shooting at the middle-aged man in a chaotic manner. This sudden attack made the middle-aged man flustered.

The sword light was about to strike, and Gu Fei thought he would not escape death today. However, the situation suddenly changed when the senior disciple Dan Chenzi of the Tai Xuan Peak lineage arrived, saving Gu Fei from the abyss.

Gu Fei focused on the golden threads shooting out from the forest and realized that they were actually extremely sharp golden needles.

"Damn!" The middle-aged man roared, furious that he was about to avenge his disciple's death but was interrupted by Dan Chenzi. A surge of anger blocked his chest, making him feel like he was about to go mad.

At this moment, figures moved in the forest, and Dan Chenzi finally arrived.

"You all die!" The middle-aged man, Zhao Xuanji, was enraged. His pale face was now dark and gloomy. After a furious roar, the fiery red sword light around him rushed into his body, merging with him and bursting with a powerful sword aura. The countless golden needles surrounding him were all repelled.

A light metallic sound rang out, like a dragon's roar from the heavens. Instantly, Zhao Xuanji transformed into a shocking sword light, the sword aura piercing the stars, turning the sky red.

"Nine Divisions of the Demon Sword, kill, kill, kill!" Zhao Xuanji, merged with his sword, roared madly. The shocking sword light shot out nine powerful sword auras, turning into nine red sword lights. The countless golden needles were instantly shattered by these nine sword lights.

The nine red sword lights, like nine fiery dragons, shot out. Eight of them headed towards Dan Chenzi, who was rushing out of the forest, while one headed towards Gu Fei.

"Oh no!" Gu Fei was greatly alarmed. The red sword light was incredibly fast, and in an instant, he had no time to dodge. The chilling sword aura made his skin tingle with pain, and a great sense of danger enveloped him, making his body hair stand on end.

"Boom!" Gu Fei only managed to stir up the divine weapon essence within his body to protect himself, and with his arms crossed in front of his chest, he was hit by the rapidly expanding red sword light.

The red sword light stretched for several hundred feet, this being Zhao Xuanji's strongest killing move, as if it had split the void in two. The space the sword light passed through rippled visibly.

"Ah!" Gu Fei let out a惨叫, 被那道无匹的剑光直接轰飞了三百丈之外，双臂传来咔嚓咔嚓的骨头断裂声，软软地垂了下来，倒飞中大口地吐着鲜血。

神兵精气护住了他的皮肉，如此强大的剑气也难以破开他皮肉的防御，只在双臂上留下了两道白色的剑痕，但是，剑气爆发出的那一股恐怖的撞击力，却使他那坚硬胜似金铁的臂骨断裂了。

古飞被轰出悬崖，下方便是万丈深渊，云雾缭绕，根本难以看清下方的情况，这一下，古飞被惊得魂飞魄散。

本已重伤的他，再被这一惊，立时引动伤势，张口喷出一篷鲜血，只觉眼前一黑，人便昏迷了过去，身子如断线风筝般直往下掉。

“赵玄极，你该死！”这时，正从林中冲出来的丹辰子刚好见到赵玄极一剑将古飞劈出了悬崖之外，一双眼睛瞬间变得血红，他一声大吼，震荡山林，暴怒的丹辰子，手中连连捏动道诀，万千金丝立时暴现，缠绕向那八道向他飞射而来惊天剑光。

“嗤嗤嗤……”仿佛割裂布匹，八道百丈剑光，竟是破开重重金丝，劈向丹辰子的势道根本不减。

“嘶！”暴怒之中的丹辰子见
