At the same time, Yu Ling also felt that the Dao bottle in the soul sea shook slightly, and strands of black air escaped from the mouth of the bottle, as if surrounded by countless wronged souls and ghosts, and it was cold and bone-chilling.

These black energies gathered around Ye Canyun like fish swimming into the sea, making his face a little blurry.

Xu Shipu couldn't help but let out a sigh. He unexpectedly discovered that it wasn't that he couldn't see through Ye Canyun's cultivation, but that the other party's cultivation system seemed completely different from ordinary people. He seemed to be a Qi Refiner, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had no connection with him.

, the power mobilized seems so strange and strange.

It's as if...he is not from this world.

Is this really a cultivator from the Ancient Spirit Tribe?

Xu Shipu suddenly had some doubts, but there was not much time left for him to think. No matter who the other party was, he felt a great threat at this moment, and he had to concentrate on it.

The purple moon loomed in the sky, and the dark night seemed endless, seeming to swallow up the entire sky.

However, this breathtaking vision only existed in the eyes of Yu Ling and Xu Shipu. The other cultivators of Zu Xing could not notice anything strange at all. They would not even know that the two top five powerful men in the world were already at war with each other.

Space has been silently dislocated.

Yu Ling was keenly aware that Ye Canyun, who was only one step away from him, seemed to have turned into a shadow like a mirror, a flower in the water, and the moon, and was isolated on another level of heaven and earth.

It was a battlefield that belonged to the two of them alone.

When darkness dominates the earth, a beam of divine light suddenly cuts through the night.

It was the only light source in the dark night, and it was the sword that had accompanied Xu Shipu for thousands of years - Guizhen.

Tao follows nature and returns to nature.

After thousands of years of spiritual nourishment and thousands of years of condensation, this sword of return to truth is itself a concrete Taoist principle.

Xu Shipu was not from a royal family, so he naturally did not have the original Taoism. However, his Taoism was washed away and he reached the top in another way.

The most ordinary is also the most extraordinary.

The simplest is also the most impeccable.

There was no great momentum or brilliant brilliance, he just swung the sword in an ordinary way.

The shadow of the sword rises, and the heaven and earth move accordingly.

When the shadow of the sword falls, everything collapses.

Half of the twelve rounds of Ziyue were cut off, and the remaining six rounds were still rotating around Xu Shipu, sucking his blood and spiritual power.

Xu Shipu swiped his sword, as if a gentle breeze was blowing by, ruffling the moonlight on the lake and blowing away the shackles of the dark night.

All the visions disappeared, and Ye Canyun's figure reappeared.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was as calm as ever, as if this confrontation was not even a warm-up.

"Are you still fighting?" Ye Canyun said casually, as if asking an old friend.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Xu Shipu flicked his fingers, and the Guizhen Sword buzzed and trembled, like an arrow flying out of the string. However, its target was not the night clouds, but disappeared straight into the void.

Ye Canyun's eyes flashed, and without thinking, he raised his right hand and pointed at the nothingness in front of him.

"Buzz——"

The Guizhen Sword suddenly flashed like a ghost, but the invisible sword energy was blocked by Ye Canyun's fingertips, unable to make any progress.

Suddenly, it started to crack from the tip of the sword, and in the blink of an eye it shattered into dozens of pieces, turning into clouds of smoke and blowing towards the remaining night clouds.

Ye Canyun seemed unable to dodge and stood still.

When the clouds and smoke dissipated, the place was empty, with only a trace of black air remaining and the Guizhen Sword returning to its original shape.

The black energy wrapped around the Guizhen Sword like a snake, and then quickly climbed along the tip of the sword, spreading out twisted and writhing black lines. In an instant, it corroded most of the sword's body. No matter how hard the Guizhen Sword struggled, it was of no avail.

Xu Shipu's face was as dark as water. He flicked his sleeves and robes, and the Guizhen Sword turned into cloud smoke again and disappeared into his sleeves, while the black energy lingered in place and changed into various forms.

It wasn't until Ye Canyun slowly emerged from the void that this wisp of black energy seemed to be like a prodigal son who had found his hometown, swimming obediently back to his side, circling around his fingertips, as if asking for credit.

reward.

"It's been a long time since I've been active like this. I've been trying so many spells before I remembered them. Do you want to continue trying them?" Ye Canyun said with a smile.

Xu Shipu was calm: "It doesn't matter, I will have many opportunities to compete with you in the future."

On the surface, it seems that the two of them just tested each other twice, and no loss was seen at all. However, only he was aware of the dangers involved.

"Yuling, His Majesty the Spiritual Emperor was unwilling to give you a last chance, but now it seems that you are determined to have your own way?" Xu Shipu looked at Yuling again.

Yu Ling just smiled sarcastically: "Elder Xu, how do you act, and why do you need to involve His Majesty the Spirit Emperor?"

Xu Shipu didn't seem to hear his sarcasm, and just said calmly: "Xuan Ling, Phantom Ling, and now the Ancient Ling... let's see who wins in the end in the war between the five races that will happen again after ten thousand years."

"Then, my promise to your mother will be invalidated from now on."

In addition, he didn't leave too many words. Perhaps he knew that his original purpose could not be achieved, so he simply left.

Yu Ling watched Xu Shipu turn around and disappear in mid-air, the broken space returned to normal, and the Ancestral Spirit Palace returned to peace again.

This most difficult hurdle has finally been passed.

From now on, he and the Yuanling Clan will be eternal enemies.

For some reason, Yu Ling felt a little complicated but also relieved.

"He rescued that Banli Qijun." Ye Canyun said suddenly.

Yu Ling nodded. The sword that Xu Shipu had just returned actually penetrated the void. After breaking through the barrier of the palace below, it turned back and stabbed Ye Canyun.

When Xu Shipu left, he also took Banli Qijun with him.

"Originally, he wanted to rescue others, but when I stopped him, he gave up immediately." Ye Canyun carelessly teased the black energy on his fingertips.

"Senior Ye, thank you for your hard work. Now it depends on how many chips the Yuanling clan is willing to give in exchange for these prisoners." Yu Ling said.

"There is also the Dao Ling Clan." Ye Canyun reminded.

"You should be able to make a fortune."

Yu Ling paused for a few seconds and suddenly asked: "Senior Ye, what do you think of Xu Shipu?"

"Very strong." Ye Canyun thought for a while and added: "Very strong."

Yu Ling remained silent. If Ye Canyun was only on par with Xu Shipu, then he would need to re-evaluate the strength of this great elder.

"But it's not as strong as me." Ye Canyun said again.

"..." Yu Ling was speechless for a while, Senior Ye, is it really okay for you to be so naughty?

"Seeing how hard it was for him to come all the way, I couldn't bear it, so I gave him some gifts. I didn't know when he would find out." Ye Canyun said.

"What...a gift?"

"My original demonic energy is not easy to digest. If his sword is not handled properly, the sword spirit may breed inner demons, and the violence will become stronger, and his Taoism will also have flaws."

Ye Canyun raised his hand and waved, and the black air suddenly turned into sand and dispersed.

"But this is indeed a very powerful person. I haven't been able to test out his trump card today. It may be possible to defeat him, but it's difficult to kill him... it's very difficult." Ye Canyun commented.

Yu Ling said nothing, of course he knew that this was almost impossible to achieve, but he was willing to do whatever it took.

"So I can only think of other ways."
