Dragon Soul Heroes - Chapter Eleven: A Battle of Helplessness

The Heavenly Sword martial arts emphasize cultivating the mind before nourishing the vital energy; all cultivation begins with mental techniques and manifests in sword techniques.
After obtaining the Heavenly Sword Valley Sword Manual, the Demon Lord discovered that its swordsmanship and sword formations were extremely exquisite. Although there were flaws, they could be made up for or shifted in an instant. It was very difficult to analyze the sword style by targeting the flaws. So he simply abandoned all the complicated details and went straight to the source of the sword style, the foundation of the Heavenly Sword Valley martial arts - the sword heart.
But the sword's heart is so resilient that it can not only discern truth from falsehood, but also foresee good and bad fortune, and breaking through it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The Demon Lord, possessing the Great Demonic Art of the Heart and deeply understanding the weaknesses of human nature, quickly defined Yu Xiuting as a woman and a mother.
Because of this identity, the Demon Lord thought of using the bond between mother and son to pry open the sword's heart, just like Long Hui had moved his heart with emotion, except that one was righteous and the other was evil.
The Demon Lord slaughtered ten thousand newborn infants, collecting their resentment. When the infants, driven by their longing for new life and attachment to their mothers, went to extremes, their thoughts became even more terrifying.
Yu Xiuting, having just experienced the pain of losing her son, was heartbroken and her grief coincided with Wan Ying's resentment, causing the invincible swordsman's heart to develop a flaw and lead him to go astray.
Overwhelmed by resentment, Yu Xiuting's blood rushed out of her veins. With a roar, her hairpin shattered, her hair flew into a whirlwind, and her pupils turned crimson—she had gone mad with demonic possession.
"kill!"
Yu Xiuting coldly uttered a single word, followed by the chaotic dance of sword energy, sweeping across the battlefield.
Emperor Li's inner demon exclaimed inwardly, "What terrifying sword energy!"
The Demon Lord also broke out in a cold sweat: "We cannot linger any longer, retreat immediately!"
So he used his remaining strength to activate the demonic blade's power, transferring himself and the inner demon of Emperor Li away, returning to the depths of the demon realm. However, he had suffered suppression and injuries from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and at this moment, activating his demonic energy was extremely difficult. He could only barely escape and was helpless against the other demonic soldiers.
The sword energy surged wildly, and everyone present, regardless of whether they were human or demon, friend or foe, was to be killed without mercy.
Ling Xiao was shocked and horrified. He unleashed his Thunder Flame Yuan Gong and drew his sword to defend. Feng Wangchen also used his Gentle Wind Tai Chi Circle to assist in the defense. The two had different styles of martial arts, one hard and one soft, and they were quite far apart. Only then could they barely protect themselves and the soldiers behind them. However, after this exchange, both of them coughed up blood and suffered serious internal injuries.
Upon seeing the terrifying sword aura, Yue Jun hurriedly activated the inner spirit of the Refining God Pagoda. The beast souls embedded in the pagoda surged out to meet the sword aura. After several rounds of combat, the beast souls dissipated.
Yue Junwan was shocked again. She immediately manipulated the magic refining artifact. Hundreds of flying cannons scattered on the pagoda platform. The cannons spewed out flames, weaving a dense fire net that neutralized ninety percent of the sword energy. However, many sword energies still escaped the net and hit the pagoda, leaving many cracks.
Yue Junwan was greatly alarmed. She knew that the Refining God Pagoda was already complete and could be considered indestructible, but it had already developed cracks from the mere aftershocks of a sword aura. If it had been any closer, how could the entire pagoda have been preserved?
The sword energy raged, and the Dragon Scale Army, the Cui Family Army, and even the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Valley were all killed or wounded on the spot. Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen struggled to join forces and fight back while protecting some of the soldiers. Chen Huixuan and Jian Huiyi also directed the disciples to form a sword formation to protect themselves.
Yue Junwan shouted, "You all go quickly! I'll use the Refining God Pagoda to cover our retreat!"
After saying that, he activated the Divine Refining Pagoda to draw in the earth fire and fired a cannon. However, the cannon fire was not used to kill the enemy or break the formation, but instead spread out in all directions, forming a scorching and thick wall of fire that isolated the deadly sword energy.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jian Huiyi picked up Wei Jianming's body and turned to leave.
The crowd retreated three miles away, finally escaping the range of the sword aura. Ling Xiao's armor was shattered and cracked, his battle sword was broken, and the arm holding the sword was covered in blood.
Feng Wangchen's face was deathly pale, covered in blood, and his left leg and right arm had two deep sword wounds that exposed the bone; Sun De had lost his left eye, and there was a sword wound on his face that ran from his forehead to his lips, and his head was almost chopped off.
Jian Huiyi placed Wei Jianming's body on the ground. His chest was sunken, his heart and lungs were shattered, and there was yin energy swirling around his spiritual center. Not only was his physical body damaged, but even his primordial spirit was incomplete. This was far more severe than the killing blow that Bo Xun had inflicted, and he was completely devoid of life.
Both Jian Huiyi and Chen Huixuan were visibly saddened, and tears streamed down their faces.
Feng Wangchen stopped the bleeding by applying acupressure himself, then walked over and asked, "Elders, what exactly happened to Empress Dowager Xianxia?"
Jian Huiyi sighed, "The young master's death caused the valley master great grief, which led to a loss of control over his sword spirit... He has gone mad!"
Feng Wangchen said, "Empress Dowager Xianxia has a pure and extraordinary sword heart and a firm will. Even if Young Master Wei suffers an accident, he will not easily go astray in his cultivation."
Jian Huiyi said, "Although I don't know the situation inside the formation, I always feel that the soul energy on Emperor Li has a kind of inexplicable restraint on the Valley Master, as if it can disturb her mind. But strangely, Huixuan and I don't feel anything about it."
At this moment, the sword energy in the distance moved even more rapidly, stretching across the border between Hedong and the Yellow Earth Demon Realm, forming a death zone that no living person could approach.
Ling Xiao took stock of his troops and found that more than half of his army of over 100,000 had been lost, and most of the survivors were badly wounded. The Northern Expeditionary Army was severely weakened and would be unable to fight again in the short term.
Feng Wangchen said, "Commander Ling, let's retreat first!"
Ling Xiao glanced at the rapidly moving sword energy in the distance, still harboring doubts.
Suddenly, colorful clouds surged across the sky, and two beautiful figures descended on the clouds. It was Luo Qingyan and Wei Xuexin, coming side by side.
The generals hurriedly bowed and paid their respects: "Greetings to the Empress Taihuang and the Celestial Empress!"
Luo Qingyan remained stunningly beautiful, dressed in a simple white dress embroidered with pale phoenixes. Her bright phoenix eyes shone with a captivating charm, exuding a terrifying majesty. To the side, Wei Xuexin was elegant and gentle, but her brows were furrowed with sorrow. Especially when she saw Wei Jianming's tragic state, her eyes suddenly reddened, tears welled up, and she cried out in grief as she threw herself at the corpse, sobbing mournfully.
Luo Qingyan walked to her side and gently patted her back, saying, "Xuexin, don't be sad. Jianming is not entirely beyond saving."
Wei Xuexin stopped crying, lifted her tear-stained face, and asked, "Auntie, are you telling the truth?"
Chen Huixuan and Jian Huiyi were overjoyed and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any hope for our sect leader?"
"I'd say there's still a glimmer of hope!"
Luo Qingyan activated the Heavenly Phoenix Seal. Her left hand's middle and ring fingers rested on her palm, while her thumb, index, and little fingers were slightly bent, forming a hand seal resembling that of a fetus. She murmured, "Gather!"
A burst of golden flames erupted all around, gathering a wisp of soul energy. Jian Huiyi and the others were astonished to see that this wisp of soul energy was actually Wei Jianming's remnant soul.
Luo Qingyan's seal technique is called "Huangdao Shenghun Seal," which is the seal technique corresponding to "life" in the Heavenly Phoenix Seal.
This hand seal is extremely mysterious. As long as she can reach within a hundred miles of the deceased within a quarter of an hour to perform this seal, even if the soul has been scattered, she can summon the soul and preserve a sliver of life.
Luo Qingyan said, "The physical body is damaged, the internal organs are broken, and the meridians are all severed, making it difficult to revive in time. This wisp of remnant soul is just to preserve the last bit of life and strive for a glimmer of hope to see if it can fight against fate in the future."
Jian Huiyi said, "As long as there is still hope, that's enough."
Luo Qingyan sealed the gathered remnant soul into a jade talisman and handed it to Jian Huiyi: "Keep this jade safe. Whether Wei Jianming can be reborn in the future depends on his fate. I will go to the sword formation to stop the sword immortal."
The two expressed their deepest gratitude and carefully accepted the jade talisman.
Luo Qingyan said, "The most important thing right now is to reorganize the army and rescue Empress Dowager Xianxia! All troops, listen to my orders—retreat to Dongjing, hold your ground, and prevent the demon soldiers from launching a counterattack! Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen, you two will lead an elite force to garrison near the sword formation and come to their aid when I give the order!"
She paused, then continued, "Yue Junwan, listen to my command: you are to ride the Divine Refining Pagoda and guard Dongjing City, while simultaneously monitoring the enemy situation ahead. If you see hordes of demonic soldiers attacking, open fire and destroy them!"
Empress Taihuang issued an imperial decree, and all the generals of Lingxiao obeyed, leading their army back to Dongjing. The people of Tianjian Valley also retreated with the army.
"Xuexin, when I enter the formation and pull your mother out, you can try to awaken her consciousness!"
Luo Qingyan whispered her instructions, and Wei Xuexin nodded.
Luo Qingyan added, "Although the Demon Lord and Emperor Li have been repelled, we cannot prevent them from making a comeback. I will trouble you to stay here and cover for me!"
魏雪芯点头道：「大娘且宽心动手，那两个奸贼已被诛仙剑击伤，只要他们敢来，我便能斩他们首级！」
洛清妍对她的修为仍是十分了解，即便是越级挑战也可全身而退，若是破虚受伤在先，她则有七成胜算。
洛清妍望了一眼前方，幽幽一叹：「劫数！」
身形一晃，化作一道火影掠入剑气之中。
就在洛清妍入阵没多久，魏雪芯忽生警兆，抬头盯着前方喝道：「何方鼠辈，还不快现身出来！」
风沙尽头缓缓走出一道高挑健美的身姿，身着骨胄，单手按刀，英姿飒爽，正是白骨阴魔端木琼璇。
魏雪芯紧握岁月剑，紧紧盯着对手。
端木琼璇耸了耸肩，有些慵懒地道：「看什么看，要替你弟弟报仇就尽管动手呀！」
魏雪芯虽经手足沦丧之痛，但面对敌方高层却是出奇的冷静，既不动怒也不愤恨，只是平静地看着对方，敌不动我不动。
端木琼璇暗忖道：「这剑心着实厉害，面对杀弟之敌仍旧心如止水……若不是父尊能利用这母子羁绊来做文章，恐怕还没办法对付于秀婷呢！」
想了想，如今万婴怨念已经全数用在于秀婷身上，她此刻也没有更有效的手法来对付魏雪芯，更何况要击溃剑心必须配合一连串的布局，此刻即便她还有万婴怨念，恐怕难以奏效。
端木琼璇缓缓抽出骨刀，说道：「父尊的大计可不许你轻易破坏了，魏丫头，看在你姐姐的面子上我不想跟你打，但却不能让你碍事！」
魏雪芯手腕一抖，岁月剑铿锵出鞘，剑锋离鞘的瞬间亦涌出一股至烈剑气，锁形端木琼璇。
端木琼璇冷笑一声，骨刀反插入地，手掌往刀柄上一摁，刀气立即窜入地下，侵蚀地脉，地面上立即凹陷处一个巨大坑洞，将双姝一并吞噬。
魏雪芯只感到地底涌出一股庞大吸力，足下一空，身形便往下跌落。
魏雪芯斜斜地向端木琼璇刺出一剑，端木琼璇横刀抵御，刀剑交兵，既是试探也是杀敌，然而端木琼璇似有保留，刀势暗敛三分，只是将魏雪芯的剑气卸到四周。
魏雪芯快速出剑，劈、削、刺、挑……以最基本的剑术出招，但招招式式之中暗藏杀机，宛若平川生湍流、端木琼璇沉稳以对，挡、卸、纳、移……挥刀防守，谨慎拆招。
十余回合过后，端木琼璇露出一丝微笑：「魏丫头，你上当了！」
魏雪芯剑心一动，发觉此刻正陷入一处无穷无尽的黑暗深渊，被刀剑罡气笼罩，自成一处与世隔绝的结界。
「这里接近魔界地域，正好可以借来一丝地脉魔气！」
端木琼璇笑道：「也恰好给我借了一些地利之便，将你的剑气引为己用！」
魏雪芯道：「此处结界乃糅合你我的刀剑之气而成，如此困兽之局，你是要与我生死决胜了！」
端木琼璇道：「非也非也，不过是将你困一段时间罢了！」
魏雪芯忽然感到一丝不安，端木琼璇笑道：「待尘埃落定时，我自会解开结界放你出去！」
魏雪芯咬牙道：「不必这么麻烦，我自己出去！」
端木琼璇道：「你能么？」
魏雪芯道：「杀了你，结界自然会开启！」
端木琼璇道：「我不是来和你决生死的，只要我采取游斗战术，缠你三百多个回合应该还是可以的！」
魏雪芯俏脸倏地涌上一阵寒霜，缓缓举起神兵，一股雄厚剑罡倾斜而出，端木琼璇果然采取游走缠斗之法，率先侧身躲避，同时挥刀迎击，五分挡招，三分卸劲，两分闪躲。
剑气感应到生气靠近，瞬间蜂拥而来，洛清妍云袖一挥，真气灌入袖子，以柔制刚，卷起一阵烈火炙风，卸开剑气。
洛清妍进入剑阵内，四周景象只有无边无际的鸿蒙虚无，定睛再看，却发觉这虚无乃是被剑气所造成——庞大的剑气急速旋转，将现世撕碎，重归鸿蒙。
洛清妍只觉真元有流失之兆，心知这是陷仙剑意所致，当下运转体内凤凰灵火，稳住内息。
她不像魔尊那样一入阵就被剑阵束缚功体，她因体内有天龙阳息的缘故，从某种层面来说，剑阵对她并不排斥，故而陷仙剑的困敌异能无法奏效。
「秀婷妹子，出来吧！」
洛清妍淡淡地道，剑意似乎应其之邀，一道身影缓缓浮现。
洛清妍看清那人面貌时，也是吃了一惊。
眼前之人最是熟悉的面孔，却是最为陌生的感觉，披散的乌发，淡漠的双眸，冰寒的剑眉……洛清妍惊讶道：「秀婷妹子，你怎会这般模样？」
于秀婷冷冷地吐出一个字：「杀！」
单手一扬，一道赤乌剑影飞掠袭来。
「龑霆剑！」
洛清妍媚眼凝华，窥破剑影轨迹，水袖轻抚，宛若长鞭甩出，似柔则刚，砰的一下打中剑影，将其剑路打歪。
于秀婷玉手轻舒，龑霆剑调了个头，又朝洛清妍飞击而来。
洛清妍柔腰一拧，轻盈回身，足下裙裾如一朵雪白鲜花绽放开来，带着一股香风飘出，同时卷起一团赤色火浪，正是一招「蛮荒赤鹑翎」。
昔日的五凤心诀，在妖凰武入破虚后，威力更加惊人，只看赤色火浪如同一个巨大漩涡般，在诛仙剑阵中卷动肆虐，竟将四周的鸿蒙境界震得动荡起来。
龑霆剑难以近身，又被火劲震了回去，于秀婷剑眉一挑，莲足踏出，一步抢出，握住倒飞回来的龑霆剑，抖索寒光，嗖的刺出一剑，剑气射破火浪漩涡。
洛清妍再度变招，双臂一收，赤火汇聚，形成一头赤鹑，前半式乃试探，后半招便是出手攻敌。
洛清妍娇呼一声去，单掌推出，赤鹑展翅飞掠而出。
于秀婷剑气急催，一剑化三十六天罡，正是一招天罡点主。
赤火凤凰撞上天罡剑星，发出一连串的响声，时而高昂，时而低沉，时而清脆，时而嘶哑，代表着两人的招式不同的变化。
瞬息间，交手已过百合，仙妖身形交错，各自站定，两道风姿卓越的身影相互背对，一眼不发，同样秀美成熟的脸庞皆是毫无表情，就连气流都仿佛被这两名美妇的沉默给凝滞了，气氛一时沉寂无比。
倏然，洛清妍身上落下一簇秀发，而于秀婷右手的袖子多了一抹焦痕，显然是洛清妍被剑气削掉一簇秀发，于秀婷被火劲烧焦半个袖子，这一回合谁也不占上风。
于秀婷剑指一划，割断烧焦的半截袖子，露出一抹洁白莹润的小臂，然而身上的杀气却是越来越盛。
洛清妍暗中戒备，同时在地上快速踩了几步，步伐轻灵而沉稳，似乎正在酝酿着什么。
暮然，于秀婷剑诀一指，冷声道：「妖孽，引颈受戮吧！」
说话间已经发动四仙剑，顿时剑意聚生，鸿蒙之中涌出无数锐光。
洛清妍芳心一沉，加快步伐踏走，并同时催动凤凰灵火护体，五色火焰掺杂聚燃，烧得剑阵内一片炙热，更是构成重重防线。
全力倾吐的凤凰灵火远胜魔尊半残的魔魂，再加上于秀婷剑心已失，对剑阵的把控远不如前，剑气虽猛，但却失了原先的境界，只是一味的狂攻猛打，不通变化，洛清妍应付起来倒也不是什么难事。
五色凤火抵御杂乱剑气，但却是配合着剑气强弱而变化，剑气强则凤火炙，剑气柔则凤火温，就这么地变化开来，使得两股极端真力的碰撞发出抑扬顿挫的声音，就如同奏响的乐曲，火焰中隐约可见白衣翩翩，宛如迎风起舞。
洛清妍一边一凤火抵御剑气，一边感受着剑气的轨迹，步伐似乎也迎合着四仙剑之剑意，只看莲足轻点，裙裾如花，犹如跳出一袭精美舞蹈，而于秀婷则是弹奏之人，仙妖二后即便是死战，也犹如琴舞合奏，美绝尘寰。
正所谓有开必有封，玄天真龙设下诛仙剑阵，自然就有停止的法门，称之为封神绝步，但诛仙剑阵始终是由四口神器发动的绝阵，封神绝步也不可能将其完全停止，仅仅是起到减弱剑阵威力的效果，当洛清妍踏出步法，攻击的剑气便停了下来，也同时将四口仙剑压在虚空之内，但先前形成的阵势始终存在，而且依旧还有剑意从虚空中涌出，洛清妍细心感应，发觉少了诛仙、戮仙两股剑意，这倒也算是好事，毕竟没了这两股主攻杀的剑意后，应对起来倒也轻松许多。
施展完封神绝步后，洛清妍高耸的酥胸轻微起伏，显然消耗不少。
凤凰血脉回气甚快，只需几个呼吸洛清妍便可真元充沛，然而于秀婷却是丝毫不肯放松，就趁着洛清妍刚刚吸气的瞬间抢攻过来。
剑气夹杂着风雷之势而来，卷起巨龙，龙扫狂风，龙牙似雷，正是雷龙震和风龙啸双剑合一。
洛清妍不及思索，左掌暗掐手决，拇指与无名指扣在一起，中指食指并拢，小指微屈，一团苍色火焰燃起，正是一招苍穹回元印，苍火燃遍全身，妖凰元气尽复。
风雷巨龙扑面而来，洛清妍右掌燃起璀璨黄金火焰，娇咤一声，一掌击出，正是一招「黄焉舞天翔」。
黄色凤凰展翅扑向风雷巨龙，上演一番龙凤斗，双方两败俱伤，龙灭风散。
然龙形凤体皆是两人真气所凝，似虚似实，形象消散后，便是短兵相接。
于秀婷有神兵在手，攻势更添凛冽，洛清妍赤手空拳，招式尤带三分保留，十余回合后，洛清妍招式用尽，龑霆剑划出一道赤色电芒，一剑点破洛清妍掌心凝聚的凤火。
洛清妍急忙撤手，却见于秀婷秀眸一寒，宝剑如同绵长水流般缠了上来，正是一招水龙吟，剑气化作一小条水龙就这么旋上了洛清妍的右腕，正是要断其腕脉。
水龙剑气缠住手腕，只是火光电石的瞬间已经割破右侧袖子，同样露出一截晶莹玉润的皓腕，白里透红，嫩若凝脂，惹人怜惜，但锐利的剑气却是要辣手摧花，一旦落实，整个白嫩的手掌都要齐根断去。
洛清妍美靥一沉，手臂灌足真气，使出远古大力，将水龙剑气硬生生震破。
洛清妍再攒一掌，掌力刚强，除了远古大力之外，还添了一招「蛮荒赤鹑翎」。
于秀婷挥剑横挡，只闻轰隆一声，赤芒绽放，烈火燃烧，烟尘弥漫。
于秀婷及时挥剑封住火炎，力保不失，但却被远古大力霸道的后劲震得连退数步。
洛清妍顺势往前一掠，其势快疾无比，刮起一阵劲风，将其外袍吹得敞开，只看她内里穿着一袭素色小襦，外罩葱白窄袖对襟，密密裹出一对浑圆坚挺的饱满乳峰，裙腰两折，仅系一条金凤玉带，更衬得曲线柔媚，极富肉感。
于秀婷恍惚间忽闻香风袭来，紧接着便是劲风压面，原来洛清妍的掌势已经印在跟前，洛清妍这一扑来，恰好处于于秀婷剑刃所能及的死角，也就是处于一个说远不远，说近不近的位置，使得剑者难以尽情挥剑。
龑霆剑虽不能如意挥洒，但于秀婷也是一代剑仙，全身上下皆可为剑，只看她也以云袖为剑，对准洛清妍手掌扫去。
云袖兜住对方手腕，但于秀婷却觉一股巨力缠绞，几乎被掀翻过去，忙气压丹田，稳住下盘，裙面上曲线浮凸，依稀见得小腹平坦、大腿浑圆，腿根处一抹腴润凹陷，腰身下更是隐现两瓣圆弧。
泽龙踞于秀婷的这一沉身竟令得地面化作泥泞沼泽，将洛清妍的掌劲被导入泥泽，正是一招泽龙踞。
同时借袖使出剑，泽龙剑气倾吐而出。
于秀婷剑随心走，欲留不留、欲发不发，恍惚踌躇，润腴的腰肢如柳条一般，扭得腰索一绞一弹，隔着衣布微微陷入腰里，臀瓣摇曳，如同枝头的熟润蜜桃在摇摆，可见那衣裙下腰臀是如何腴滑弹手，又是何等的饱蓄劲道，方有这般惊人的弹性。
双方绝式相对，洛清妍掌印刚猛，不断进逼，于秀婷袖剑柔韧，意在虚耗，这一攻一守间，双后已将招式使老，不得不各自收招。
然而于秀婷却有神兵在手，收招回气的同时将手中宝剑放出，龑霆剑化作赤乌巨龙扑来，由于剑心入魔，使得化出的龙形变得极为狰狞凶暴。
洛清妍花容一沉，心知神兵威力，当下不再保留，挥手一招，一口古朴琴瑟凌空落下，恰好挡在巨龙跟前。
古琴落地，自行释音，将赤乌巨龙逼了回去，给洛清妍争取了回气时间，仔细看去，这口古琴竟是洗音水琴。
洛清妍抚琴在手，玉指扣弦，音波玄功蓄势待发，心中却是暗叹无奈：「本想将此物留到收拾魔尊时再用，想不到居然要用来对付自己人！」
恶龙被洗音水琴所阻，唯有回归主人，这一去一回间于秀婷早已调顺了气息，伸手握住折返的赤乌恶龙，提剑再度攻来。
只闻她沉声一喝，玉臂伸前，剑锋直刺，剑式大刚无巧，剑气恰如群山崩坍，威猛绝伦，正是一招山龙崩。
洛清妍暗自赞叹：「好生厉害的山岳剑气，论威猛程度丝毫不在龙儿的‘山兮震鬼神’之下。」
龙罡山峦之剑已扑面而来，强如洛清妍也感觉到莫大压力，整个人就好似山崩下的鸡蛋。
她心知此乃剑意所衍生出来的气势，先慑心魄再创其体，若是普通高手可能还没有接招就已经跪地求饶了。
洛清妍心神一定，运使出心神八法，摒散这股山岳剑意。
心神八法分为平气、舒声、清心、凝意、稳魄、定魂、合灵、聚元，这八种精义本是她用来医道养生的，讲究如何调和心态，拿住气血精气，但随着深入钻研却使其成为一套独特的心法，即可平心静气，亦能预知祸福，倒是与剑心通神有着同归殊途的巧合。
心气平缓，洛清妍自可冷静对敌，玉指抚弦，信手一拨，看似举重若轻，慵懒随意，但音若凤鸣，声中藏杀，只看音波凝成实质，化作一头飞舞青火凤凰，正是五凤心诀中的「梧桐青鹖鸣」。
甫一交手，青色凤凰却被山峦之气压得形神俱灭，但于秀婷却是花容变色，怒道：「妖妇好毒！」
说着连忙抽身后退，稳住下盘，猛提元功，半响过后，她樱唇轻启，吐出一股青色炎气。
原来这这一招以鸣为称呼，除了炙热无比的凤火之外，还有音波之功，这音波或大或小，或显或隐，全在洛清妍的心意之间，若她出招时发出清脆悦耳的凤鸣，那这一招便是走刚猛强硬的路子，既有强悍劲力杀敌伤人，又有凤鸣神音震脑碎心；但若是声音轻柔甚至悄然无声，那么这一招便是以阴柔暗劲取胜，敌人或许能防得住眼前招式，但凤火则暗中潜入其体内，由内至外爆发出来，焚尽五脏六腑。
洛清妍以洗音水琴配合出招，将音波藏于凤火之内，在同剑气交锋时，音波便暗中渗透剑气，产生微小振动，裂开于秀婷的浑身剑气，再以一缕凤火侵入其体内。
于秀婷剑气运转一周天，将入侵凤火驱散，冷声道：「区区暗招也妄想得逞么！」
洛清妍笑道：「秀婷妹子根基浑厚，姐姐没想过能轻易取胜。咱们姐妹再好好较量一番，也看看孰高孰低！」
于秀婷啐了一声道：「无耻妖妇，谁与你姐妹相称，吾恨不得将你碎尸万段，以告慰师尊、先夫在天之灵，更是给楚师兄出口恶气！」
洛清妍微微一怔，心想道：「秀婷妹子居然将那些旧账都翻了出来，看来她已经是越陷越深，疯得甚是厉害！」
于秀婷剑眉轻敛，秀眸绽光，右手缓缓举起龑霆剑，左手剑诀在剑锋上一划，剑刃发出铿锵清鸣，剑音切切，剑气迸发。
洛清妍凤目轻眯，凝眸一看，瞧出其中虚实，不禁也大吃一惊，于秀婷这一起手式竟然包含了天剑谷以往所有剑招。
「想不到秀婷神智虽乱，但修为仍在，这么简单一手便包含万剑精义。」
洛清妍暗自惊叹，更是如临大敌，心中明白，前面交手不过是小试牛刀下一招才是真正的苦战。
这边于秀婷单剑擎天，真元沛然而出，引动四方，使得被压制住的诛仙剑意亦开始不住躁动。
洛清妍忽地发出咯咯娇笑，凤眸凝露，桃腮生晕，娇靥蕴春，媚然天成，已然摒弃心中杂念，再现昔日妖凰风采。
仙妖双后，一者娴中有恨，一者媚中藏杀，靓丽美景虽惊艳尘寰，但却是杀机起伏。
只看于秀婷剑锋一落，剑意浑然天成，剑气凛冽无匹。
洛清妍盘膝坐下，素手抚琴，顿时弦动如拨弓韧劲，一声引一杀，似平岗湍流，率先挡住起手剑气。
紧接着左手一扫，琴音由平转响，似奇似玄，冲击对面的磅礴剑式。
音波冲击下，剑气竟四散开来，洛清妍暗自讶异，心知其中必定有诈。
果然于秀婷运转剑式，配合独特步伐，使得那些剑气重新排布，同时气凝成型，化作一个个持剑高手，密密麻麻，足有万人之余，其更似有生命和意识般开始挥剑布阵，布下周天星斗剑阵。
「天剑绝阵，值神通一战！」
洛清妍心意已决，拨琴之手由急入缓，琴音恰如激流奔海，尽敛一声锐气，然而音波中凝出十道妖影，其形态似真似幻，看不真切，但却是分使出妖族十大神通，冲击剑阵。
一时间剑罡激荡，妖气爆窜，忽然间，于秀婷手中宝剑由左引右，再以剑气化作两道虚影，分别是雪芯和剑鸣。
洛清妍看得不由一阵凄苦，叫道：「秀婷妹子，你快醒醒吧，剑鸣已经死了！」
于秀婷目露杀光，怒道：「妖妇住口，吾儿活生生在这，你休要胡言乱语！」
「剑鸣替娘亲杀了那个妖妇！」
于秀婷咬牙切齿地道，又对魏雪芯的虚影说道：「雪芯，你弟弟根基不足，你且辅他出招！」
姐弟二人携手出剑，弟弟剑意刚猛，气若炙阳，姐姐剑风轻柔，招似流水，正是昔日缠战愆僧的梵天神剑决，于秀婷竟以无上剑术重现了不可能再存在的姐弟联手。
刚柔剑气汇成浑沌无极大圆满，将十大妖影击破，直逼洛清妍而来，于秀婷笑道：「妖妇，雪芯剑鸣再加把劲，让那妖妇饮恨于汝等剑下！」
洛清妍叹道：「秀婷妹子，你面对现实吧。剑鸣虽然已经不在了，但你还有雪芯，还有轩儿！」
于秀婷目光倏然一滞，喃喃自语道：「雪芯是我女儿，自然是我的……但，轩儿又是谁？」
洛清妍见她有所松动，继续说道：「轩儿也是你的孩子，现在还在襁褓中，现在闹得紧，吵着要见娘亲，雪芯也哄他不住，你快回去看看他吧。」
于秀婷脸色缓和了少许，握剑之手微微松动。
洛清妍正要继续劝说，却感身旁锐风袭来，武感本能反应，凤火倏地一燃，将那股锐风逼开。
「住手！」
却闻于秀婷一声尖叫，洛清妍扭头看去，只见剑气凝聚出来的魏剑鸣竟然被凤火烧融。
原来那股剑气附上了于秀婷杀敌的剑意，便主动攻击洛清妍，洛清妍方才只顾着唤醒于秀婷，却不料被这股剑气袭击，本能之下内气爆发，将其震散。
虽然只是虚形，但洛清妍已知事情难以收拾，这剑气化作魏剑鸣形体，自己将其震散的行径等同于当着于秀婷的面再杀一次魏剑鸣，令得她越陷越深，越发疯狂。
果然，于秀婷面色再度阴沉，眸间杀气绽露，一字一句地道：「我要你死！」
墨发无风而动，宛若一条条的黑龙在怒舞。
杀意动，剑锋扬，于秀婷倾一腔怒火恨意，挥出昔日天剑谷至高三绝剑式。
青莲剑歌、九宫剑诀、天心剑器同时而出，只看剑界叠成九宫，再蕴生寰宇罡气，所过之处，山崩地裂，三光同坠。
三剑合璧，凶险无匹，洛清妍收敛心神，玉手扣住宫音琴弦，将一缕凤火注入，紧接着信手一拨，声波奏响，同时赤羽凤凰展翅飞出，扬起一股火红热浪，正是五凤心诀首式——蛮荒赤鹑翎。
凤凰血脉者，天生音感，擅声乐，如今洛清妍以琴音合绝式，威力倍增，弥补了同于秀婷的兵刃差距。
赤火凤凰飞入三剑绝式内，翱翔各大剑界，与其中剑意搏斗，于秀婷引来震宫剑意入雷霆剑界之内，霎时间电走游龙，雷动九霄，而赤凤展翅吐炎，以火斗雷，斗得不相上下。
紧接着商音响起，第二招黄焉舞天翔使出，那边于秀婷立即施展沧海剑界，辅以寰宇罡气和坎宫水意，化出一条巨硕水龙，准备以水压火，然而凤火凛然，不惧水涛，搏击海龙。
宫商角徵羽五音恰好与五凤心诀相互印证，洛清妍一音弹一招，一招生一凤。
洛清妍正要再奏角音弦时，倏感莫名空虚，定神一看，却不见了于秀婷踪影。
「虚空无念剑？」
洛清妍暗叫不妙，当下凝神警惕：「虚空剑意无形无质，无影无踪……且试着以琴弦引奏凤火将她逼出。」
就在此时，一条赤乌恶龙忽地窜来，绕着洛清妍旋舞盘旋一圈，将其封入九宫剑界，同时龙口吞吐罡气，正是龑霆剑融合三大绝剑。
神剑化龙，自成绝阵，洛清妍深陷其中，暗忖道：「龑霆剑乃融合秀婷妹子精血而成，倒是能从某种程度上驾驭剑式。」
她念头百转，估算形势——于秀婷已经施展虚空无念剑，就在一侧伺机而作，若自己再被龑霆剑缠住，战况更是不利。
于是咬破指尖，将一滴凤血抹上琴弦，顿时水琴震动，化作凤凰。
琴弦蕴含水意，凤元位火，水火相济更显威力。
龙凤激战厮杀，一时胶着难分。
得水琴相助，洛清妍没了后顾之忧，专心应对无形无质的虚空剑意。
暮然，洛清妍只觉得颈后生出一股寒意，立即回身劈出一掌，掌心触及一阵锐利，无形无相，正是虚无剑气。
洛清妍暗叫一声好险，却感那道剑气涌出岚罡之力，正是一招「风龙啸」。
岚罡龙剑变化莫测，竟是风中生水，水凝寒冰，正是另一招水龙吟。
虚空为本，风水为表，逼得洛清妍首露狼狈。
风水龙剑时隐时现，如跗骨之蛆，缠于洛清妍方寸之地。
洛清妍稳住心神，凝元聚气，樱唇一张，娇咤一声，窜出苍茫炎气，焚尽风水龙剑气，正是一招「梧桐青鹖鸣」。
青色凤火烧开剑气，洛清妍玉掌翻飞，如同凤凰展翅，扬武八方，以强悍掌劲施展无差别攻击，既防住虚空剑气，又试着寻出于秀婷踪影。
这般笼罩大范围的强猛攻击，及其虚耗内元，然而洛清妍早已修成阴阳大圆满的境界，比起其他的破虚高手气息更加悠长，源源不绝，使得掌势无穷无尽，使得于秀婷难觅间隙。
刹那间，于秀婷再出绝式，婀娜虚影飘忽而出，剑指引气，地脉奔腾，天地顷刻倒转，一条巨龙自下而上窜起，瓦解青凤火掌，正是龑霆心剑中的地龙腾。
地龙翻腾，将万里地气尽化作一剑。
剑势无比雄厚，锐气难撼，洛清妍连忙翻身至半空，避开锋芒，紧接着急提一口真气，双掌交叠印出，紫火由天而降，正是一式「鸑鷟焚三界」。
紫火焚地气，鸑鷟搏怒龙，双方招式相互抵消。
就在此时，于秀婷虚影忽而现在半空，剑指朝天，霎时苍穹剧变，云海翻涌，天龙初现。
剑化天龙，吞吐八荒，霎时电走雷霆，狂风暴雨，火石天降，正是龑霆心剑天之剑诀——天龙变！「此招剑意取天之无常无尽，单纯的鸑鷟焚三界恐怕难以应对！」
洛清妍不敢大意，决定增添招式变化来应对天龙剑气。
于是便云霄六相汇入鸑鷟紫火中，紫色凤火燃出六界变化，同一时分，洛清妍又暗中运起远古大力，增加招式后劲。
洛清妍增强招式，周身紫火缠绕，化出六道身形，游弋闪避在天龙剑气之间，但天龙吐息何其威猛，洛清妍难免百密一疏，遭剑气击中，但周身紫火浑厚无匹，正是远古大力的金刚不坏的特质，可谓将云霄六相的轻盈和远古大力的厚实发挥到了淋漓尽致，此招虽只是洛清妍临阵所创，但威力仍是惊人，日后她则将这一招命名为「六相凰身」。
洛清妍时而游走，时而运劲硬抗，很快便窜至天龙身旁，玉掌一扬，紫火如刀劈落，将天龙斩断。
这时虚空外响起于秀婷的冷哼：「破得了前式，未必挡得住后招。」
话音未落，断成两截的龙身各自生出龙头、龙尾，竟然是一分为二，化成双龙逼杀而来。
天龙变其精义便是在于一个变字，剑意无常无幻，无形无相，后劲不绝，连绵无尽，破去一招，又会再来一剑，敌人越是破招解剑，剑气便会越来越多，将其困在无穷无尽的剑气罗网，直至真元耗尽而亡。
洛清妍柳眉一拧，内劲再推一重，气凝丹海，拂袖挥掌，吐出一股磅礴白炎，白炎聚成十颗太阳，将两股天龙剑气直接蒸烤殆尽，正是五凤心诀最高式——十阳祭白鹄。
十颗太阳先聚而后爆，灼阳罡气扫荡四方，竟将虚空震破，洛清妍趁势将一缕神念释入其中，试图寻出于秀婷的行踪，然而虚空无穷无尽，即便进入亦无能为力，仍旧无法感知于秀婷所在。
Suddenly, eight giant dragons emerged from all around, representing heaven, earth, mountains, marshes, water, fire, wind, and thunder, sealing off the eight palaces. Luo Qingyan, who was in the middle, felt that all her movements were restricted.
"I once heard of a move in the Yan Ting Heart Sword technique called 'Gathering Dragon in the Central Palace,' which must be this move!"
Luo Qingyan saw through the trick and prepared herself for battle. With a wave of her hands, she gathered the ten suns together and detonated their yang energy. This action was a sacrifice of the ten yangs to give birth to the white swan.
A pure white phoenix emerged from the flames, and eight dragons gathered in the central palace, once again staging a life-or-death battle between dragons and phoenixes.
The two sides clashed with their ultimate moves, and once again it was difficult to determine a winner. The Nine Palaces Dragon Qi collapsed and the Ten Yang Phoenixes perished. At the same time, two muffled groans were heard in mid-air. Luo Qingyan descended from the clouds, her phoenix hairpin broken, her hair disheveled, her face pale, and there was a faint smell of blood in her breath, indicating that she had suffered internal injuries.
Although Xiuting was nowhere to be found, Luo Qingyan, with her profound medical skills, deduced that she was also injured: "Xiuting is also injured. She has already used up all nine forms of the Yanting Heart Sword, while I still have the Heavenly Phoenix Seal yet. I have a slight advantage in winning. As long as I find her again, I can win."
The thought had barely formed when the dissipated Nine Palaces Dragon Qi coalesced into a human form, and its appearance was none other than Yu Xiuting.
Luo Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, noticing something amiss: "Sword energy condensing into form?"
Yu Xiuting's true form remained hidden in the void, so the person before her was not a true sword immortal, but an avatar formed from sword energy, just like Long Hui's Nine Heavens Incarnation.
The sword energy materialized and emanated from Xiuting's voice: "Witch, what you just saw was merely the initial stage of my swordsmanship. Let me show you what true swordsmanship is!"
Luo Qingyan secretly formed a Heavenly Return Seal, activating the Phoenix Fire within her body to quickly restore her energy and recover her injuries in an instant, regaining her spirit.
"I'd also like to learn a thing or two!"
Luo Qingyan gently raised her left hand, tucking her stray hair behind her ear, and said softly. At the same time, she clasped her right thumb, index finger, and ring finger together, while extending her middle and little fingers, which was the starting stance of the Heaven-Turning Crimson Feather Seal.
The clone attacked with its sword, its moves straightforward and unchanging, even bordering on crude. Luo Qingyan couldn't understand why Yu Xiuting would use such a rough sword style. Just as she was about to break through the attack, she felt the air around her become extremely slow, and she herself felt a strange sense of suffocation.
Luo Qingyan discovered that it wasn't the airflow that was slowing down, but rather that her body had inexplicably become heavy. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was the suction force generated by the earth's veins, which made her body feel as if it were carrying a heavy load.
At this moment, a tremendous pressure descended from above, like Mount Tai pressing down, trying to firmly suppress her.
"Mountains press down, earth veins surge, the two swords unite, unleashing an immense pressure upon you!"
Yu Xiuting sneered, "So the Yan Ting Heart Sword doesn't just have nine simple sword moves. It can combine sword moves at will. As long as the cultivation is sufficient, even two completely different sword intents can be combined. The simplest is that the water and fire swords can be used together. The deeper level is that the fast and slow, light and heavy sword moves can be mixed together, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against them."
Both the Earth Dragon Soaring and Mountain Dragon Collapse sword intents are heavy and powerful. When combined, their power is multiplied. Enveloped by this fused sword energy, even a feather will become as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Luo Qingyan let out a delicate shout, flicked her hand, and unleashed the incomparably fierce Heaven-Turning Crimson Feather Seal. With a loud bang, the immense sword energy was shattered by the phoenix fire, and Luo Qingyan forcefully dispelled the mountain and earth combined twin dragon sword energy.
She leaped into the air and unleashed another palm strike from above. The Heaven-Turning Crimson Feather Seal, named for its power and momentum, was made even more so from a high vantage point, displaying an overwhelming force. The crimson phoenix fire surging from her palm transformed into a streak of crimson light that pierced straight into Xiuting's sword aura clone.
The clone drew its sword to defend, pushing the Earth Mountain Sword Technique to its limit. The clone remained as still as a mountain, as calm as an abyss, calmly accepting the attack. A loud boom was heard, crimson light danced wildly, and sword energy trembled. Both empresses were hit, adding three more points of internal injury.
Luo Qingyan coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the hem of her skirt like crimson flowers blooming on snow, a shocking sight.
Luo Qingyan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, "Although Xiuting is hiding in the void, she still has to rely on her inner energy to drive her sword qi. When our moves clash, we will always suffer from the backlash and be injured. If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid we will both be exhausted..."
She suddenly had a plan and decided to take a risk and go all out.
Yu Xiuting had suppressed her injuries and once again condensed her sword energy avatar. This time, she combined the four swords of wind, fire, water, and marsh. Water and fire have different attributes, and it is already difficult to mix them together, let alone the light wind and the slow marsh. These two sword intents can be said to represent the two extremes of fast and slow. However, Yu Xiuting perfectly integrated them, and the sword moves she released were exquisite and profound. The mysterious realm was beyond words.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyan stepped aside, allowing the sword energy to strike her. Her white clothes were stained crimson, and blood splattered everywhere as the sword energy pierced through her chest.
Taking advantage of the moment before the sword energy was completely released, Luo Qingyan endured the excruciating pain and used the Phoenix Spirit Fire to firmly seal the sword light. She also drew blood into the void. Relying on the connection between the sword energy and her blood essence, Luo Qingyan triumphantly found Yu Xiuting's whereabouts.
The sword energy originated from the main body, and the energy was connected. Yu Xiuting never expected that the other party would lure her with her vital point to seal the sword energy, while at the same time using the energy to track into the void and lock onto her location in one fell swoop.
Phoenix blood seeped into the void from the unfinished sword energy, and within it was hidden the Demon Phoenix Yuan Gong. In an instant, it ignited around Yu Xiuting, and the immense heat forcefully broke through the void barrier, forcing Yu Xiuting to reveal herself.
Luo Qingyan was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, swiftly forming hand seals. Golden flames erupted forth, carrying a sweeping force that struck with the power of the universe – the Qiankun Golden Wing Seal.
Yu Xiuting, burned by the phoenix blood, had her internal energy severely disrupted and lost all initiative, but her killing intent remained undiminished as she angrily retorted, "Are you afraid of me?!"
Using the Twin Dragons Sword Technique of Heaven and Earth, she raised her jade finger to meet the Golden Feather Seal of Heaven and Earth.
Their ultimate moves clashed, creating a deafening explosion that shattered the remaining Immortal Execution Formation. The two were sent flying backward, splattering blood everywhere, before collapsing to the ground in despair.
Yu Xiuting's face was ashen, blood gushing from her mouth and nose, and she collapsed to the ground. Luo Qingyan's injuries were even more severe; her chest, pierced by sword energy, was covered in blood, and she coughed up blood continuously with each breath.
Although Luo Qingyan's injuries were severe, her Phoenix bloodline allowed her to replenish her energy far faster than Xiuting's, giving her more strength before she could gather enough to call out, "Xuexin, quick... quick, save your mother!"
But there was no response. Luo Qingyan's heart sank and she knew something was wrong. So she used her divine sense to summon Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen.
Before her divine sense could even begin, it was intercepted by a surge of demonic energy. Luo Qingyan looked up and saw the Demon Lord standing before her, holding a sword, with the Cang Shitian Heart Demon summoned beside him, using a star barrier to seal off the transmission of her divine sense.
"Your timing is perfect!"
The Demon Lord chuckled coldly.
Luo Qingyan used her internal energy to temporarily seal her wounds, saying, "It is indeed time, a good time to come and die!"
The Demon Lord said, "This is the perfect opportunity to send you, the Sword Immortal and the Demon Queen, to the Yellow Springs!"
Luo Qingyan countered, "Can you do it?"
The Demon Lord said, "Why not? You two are both severely injured. It would be easy for me to take you down."
Luo Qingyan sneered, "You just escaped from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and you're not even a scratch yourself!"
The Demon Lord's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "What a wicked woman! Her judgment is truly sharp!"
But he still smiled faintly and said, "Even if I'm injured, it's much less serious than yours!"
Luo Qingyan estimated: "The old demon has exhausted a lot of true energy. As long as we fight him for a while, once Ling Xiao and the others arrive, we will make sure he is surrounded again."
The Demon Lord was not unaware of the gravity of the situation. He immediately swung his blade at Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan mustered her strength to meet the attack, but the blade suddenly shifted and swept diagonally towards Yu Xiuting.
Luo Qingyan was seriously injured and there was no time to save her. Yu Xiuting was even weaker and could only watch helplessly as the demonic blade swept towards her.
"A single act of resentment earned me two Void Breaking Realms, how wonderful!"
The Demon Lord was extremely pleased with himself, and his sword strikes became even more swift.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar shook the heavens, and a bolt of lightning struck from afar, severing the demonic blade. Immediately afterward, lightning flashed and thunder roared incessantly. The Demon Lord's vision blurred as countless bolts of lightning and thunder bolts darted about wildly, intertwining densely together, not only protecting his two empresses but also launching a counterattack against him.
The Demon Lord swung his sword to parry, blocking several bolts of lightning with a few loud bangs. However, his arm began to ache, and the lightning continued to increase, making it difficult for him to breathe. After blocking a few more attacks, his old injuries flared up again. Knowing he was unlikely to prevail, he feigned an attack, transforming into a wisp of black smoke and escaping. He secretly sent a message to Duanmu Qiongxuan: "Xuan'er, retreat quickly!"
