Dragon Soul Heroes - Chapter Ten: The Sword's Lament Remains Unresolved

Emperor Li's inner demon held up the sky with one hand, summoning the Yin and Yang, tearing open the spatial barrier, and summoning a strange beast, which horrified everyone present.
Wei Jianming, observing closely, cried out, "Mother, be careful! That's the Primordial Chaos Beast!"
At this moment, Emperor Li raised his Yin Claw, and an evil wind swept across the sky. At the same time, the Chaos Beast also exhaled turbid and foul air.
After the birth of the Xuan Tian True Dragon, the chaotic energy almost completely dissipated. However, some chaotic primordial energy remained hidden in various star fields of the universe. Originally, this chaotic energy had no connection with the land of Shenzhou. However, due to the Great War of the Primordial Era, the three religions and three races broke the spatial boundaries, causing the chaotic energy from beyond the heavens to flow into the mortal world. When it combined with living things, it created the Chaos Beast. The turbid evil energy exhaled by the Chaos Beast has the property of ethereal dissolution. No matter how rare or precious metal it is, once it is tainted by the turbid evil energy, it immediately disappears and ceases to exist.
Facing the combined attack of the sinister winds and evil claws and the turbid evil energy, Yu Xiuting raised her fair hand in the air, and a crimson and black light came into view. The divine sword of Yan Ting reappeared. She twirled the sword with her right hand and made a sword gesture with her left hand, ready to defend and wait for the attack.
She drew a circle with the Yan Ting Sword, and the sword energy tore through the void, forming a small void barrier to trap the turbid and evil energy; her left hand's sword finger stabbed towards the yin wind, but it was drawing in the qi and wind to unleash the "Wind Dragon Roar", which revealed a wind dragon that reversed the yin wind of Emperor Li and returned it to her opponent.
Emperor Li snorted coldly at the trivial trick, and with a flick of his sleeve, he dispersed the wind dragon along with the yin energy. He was about to use a yin magic spell to retaliate against his opponent when Yu Xiuting pointed her Yanting sword forward, turning the void barrier around. The turbid evil energy also surged towards Emperor Li, which was a way of using a foreign method to improve one's own situation.
The foul, turbid aura touched his bones and melted his flesh. Even though Emperor Li was a reincarnated soul, he dared not underestimate it and quickly rode away on a gust of yin wind. Yu Xiuting took advantage of the situation and flew over on her sword, pointing a sword finger at Emperor Li's Yuzhen acupoint.
Emperor Li raised his left palm, condensing his qi into a shield to block the sword energy.
After the first sword energy was blocked, Yu Xiuting drew her sword fingers left and right again, shouting, "Ten Thousand Thunder Sword!"
Suddenly, lightning crackled all around, striking Emperor Li like sharp swords.
Emperor Li's Yin energy gathered and formed a flexible energy shield around his body, which deflected or neutralized any lightning strikes.
Yu Xiuting pointed her sword upwards, and in an instant, lightning gathered into a giant dragon soaring through the clouds. With a roar, the lightning struck Emperor Li, which was the Thunder Dragon Shock from the Yan Ting Heart Sword.
This bolt of lightning, combining the might of a dragon and the sharpness of a sword, pierced through Emperor Li's protective shield in one strike. Fortunately, Emperor Li first used his shield to deflect the attack, reducing the sword energy by seventy percent, and then used his soul to withstand the attack unscathed. However, he was extremely shocked: "Didn't this woman always use the three great sword techniques of Heavenly Sword Valley? How come she has a new sword technique now?"
He had received guidance from the Demon Lord on the Heavenly Sword Valley Sword Manual, and originally thought he could restrain Yu Xiuting. However, after only two moves, he was caught off guard.
Yu Xiuting struck first, followed by a series of attacks. As the lightning dissipated, the fire dragon danced. The Demon Emperor Li drew a semi-circle with his left hand and pushed through the center with his right, unleashing the "Heavenly Ghost Soul-Locking Hand." His two enormous ghost claws slammed together, determined to crush the fire dragon. However, this move, named Fire Dragon Explosion, was designed to explode the flames. The Demon Emperor Li's ghost claws crushed the flames, causing them to explode violently. With a loud bang, the ghost claws vanished, and the Demon Emperor Li was forced to retreat repeatedly by the force of the attack.
"Chaos Beast!"
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Emperor Li hurriedly summoned the Chaos Beasts to launch a pincer attack. Wei Jianming spat and said, "Shameless! Mother, I'm here to help you!"
Having said that, he was about to ascend to the heavens on his sword to intercept the Chaos Beast, but Yu Xiuting calmly said, "Don't be hasty, Sword Cry! Watch what your mother has to offer!"
As she spoke, Yu Xiuting relaxed her right hand, and the Yan Ting Sword flew out of her palm and towards the Chaos Beast, which was the method of controlling the sword with qi.
Wei Jianming thought to himself, "The Chaos Beast can devour everything. Isn't Mother underestimating it by using her sword control technique?"
As expected, the Chaos Beast exhaled a turbid and evil aura, intending to destroy the Yan Ting Sword. However, the Yan Ting Sword transformed into a crimson dragon, raised its head, and unleashed a burst of thunderous power, shattering the turbid and evil aura with a bang. The Yan Ting Sword was formed by fusing the essence blood of Long Hui and Yu Xiuting, and the dragon blood contained thunderous power. This thunderous power was the nemesis of chaos, possessing the power to cleave chaos.
The Crimson Crow Divine Dragon lashed out with its tail, sending the Chaos Beast flying more than ten feet. The Chaos Beast, however, was formidable; it steadied itself with a sway of its plump body, then exhaled a breath of foul, turbid energy. This energy transformed into various magical powers: lightning, fire, hail, floods… Yu Xiuting thought to herself, “Chaos is inherently nothingness; all things arise from nothingness. This beast has indeed grasped some principles; no wonder it can wreak havoc in this area!”
He then used the Sword Heart Divine Connection Technique to ride the Crimson Crow Sword Dragon and fight against the Chaos Beast.
At this moment, Emperor Li raised one palm, generating ghostly thunder and netherfire, and struck out with his palm while Yu Xiuting was distracted.
As the deadly attack struck, Yu Xiuting frowned slightly, regaining her composure to counterattack, drawing a sword mark on each side.
The sword imprint on his left hand contained the essence of water, like a coiled dragon churning the waves, combining softness with strength. It was a move called Water Dragon's Roar, and the Water Dragon Sword Imprint blocked the Yin Nether Thunderfire.
The sword imprint in his right hand launched the main attack, generating countless sword energies that counterattacked Emperor Li. The overwhelming sword energy obscured the surroundings, startling Emperor Li's inner demon: "The Heavenly Heart Sword Weapon?"
Yu Xiuting laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll have to wait and see!"
Emperor Li roared in fury, "Are you afraid of me?!"
So he grabbed a handful of ghosts, ignited them with netherfire, and hurled them at the sword energy with tremendous force.
However, the sword energy first dispersed and then gathered. The dispersed sword energy attacked from the side to weaken the fire; the sword energy then gathered into a single point to directly shatter the Netherfire.
The sword energy came suddenly, and Emperor Li flipped over and leaped up to avoid the sharp edge.
With a tap of her foot, Yu Xiuting gathered her seven meridians and harnessed the surrounding clouds, shouting, "Eight Directions Condensed Sword Weapon, Thunderous Nine Dragons Formation!"
In an instant, nine cloud dragons roared out, swallowing clouds and spitting thunder, summoning wind and rain.
The dragon's teeth snapped down, and Emperor Li channeled his inner energy to protect himself, shattering the dragon's head that was close at hand. However, the scattered dragon head reassembled and attacked again, looking for an opening.
The Thunder Nine Dragons Formation is a variation of the Thunder Heart Sword. It can condense all things into a sword, and with the help of the overlapping and multiplying of the nine dragons, it can form endless killing moves.
Emperor Li was trapped in the Nine Dragons' siege. He hurriedly summoned the Chaos Beast for help. The Chaos Beast immediately released its chaotic energy, broke free from the Chiwu Divine Dragon's killing intent, and crashed into him like a meteorite.
Yu Xiuting dodged, but this momentary distraction weakened the control over the formation, allowing Emperor Li to escape and immediately unleash a move called "Minor Reincarnation Tribulation".
Pursue Yu Xiuting.
With a flick of her sword, Yu Xiuting summoned back the Crimson Crow Divine Dragon, gripped the Dragon Thunder Sword once more, and her beautiful eyes instantly shone with extraordinary brilliance. Her sword unleashed a sweeping wind from all directions, her aura radiating three thousand sharp rays. With a hook and a deflection, she first unleashed the "Wind Dragon Roar" move.
She deflected the double attack, then shifted her lotus feet, leaped forward, and her sword light arrived, slashing straight at Emperor Li's face.
The Demon Emperor raised his ghostly claws upwards, and the Yin energy condensed into a spiral of energy, which was the supreme killing power of the Lesser Reincarnation Tribulation. Yu Xiuting's sword aura suddenly sank, as if a mountain was collapsing, which was the move "Mountain Dragon Collapse".
The explosive power of the Lesser Reincarnation Tribulation is comparable to the Pure Yang Lesser Thunderbolt. Now, when Yu Xiuting confronts it head-on, it is a clash of strength against strength. Changing her former graceful and ethereal demeanor, she has become more domineering and powerful.
The sword energy, as powerful as collapsing mountains, forcefully sliced through the Yin energy of the Reincarnation Tribulation. Emperor Li was utterly astonished. Logically speaking, there are not many techniques in the world that can withstand the Reincarnation Tribulation, let alone break through its Yin energy. However, little did he know that Yu Xiuting and Long Hui had cultivated together, their Yin and Yang merging to strengthen their inner energy. Combined with this powerful sword technique, it was something that this counterfeit Emperor Li could not compare to.
The sword energy cleaved through the Yin energy, heading straight for the Yin palm. The Demon Emperor Li couldn't retreat in time, and his entire palm was severed by the sharp blade.
Having wounded her enemy with a single sword strike, Yu Xiuting intended to expand her victory further, but the Chaos Beast regrouped and launched a counterattack.
Yu Xiuting had no choice but to turn around and swing her sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy that struck the Chaos Beast's body.
The Chaos Beast was swept away by the sword like a large sphere, but its body was composed of chaotic energy, which was both flexible and turbid. Although the sword energy could deflect the Chaos Beast, it could not cause any real damage to it.
"This is outrageous—the entire army must retreat!"
厉帝闷哼一声，捂着断臂抽身后退，混沌兽也没入混沌。
于秀婷单剑退双强，尽展剑仙锋芒，此刻轻敛锐气，飘于云端之上，引来万军仰慕。
凌霄当机立断，喝令道：「重整军容，追杀魔兵！」
孙德众将纷纷响应，提刃跃马冲杀敌阵。
目睹母亲神威，魏剑鸣心气翻涌，更是倍添战意，喝道：「雷霆院众弟子，配合龙麟军追杀敌兵，弱水院众人协助固守后军，炼器院弟子助将士们修复兵刃！、乾坤、星辰、忘情三院待命！」
于秀婷重组了天剑谷，将剑术分为六部相传，雷霆院的弟子所研习剑式乃最为猛烈刚强，主杀伐，亦是天剑谷的一柄托鞘宝剑，司职攻坚歼敌之重任，得魏剑鸣命令后，雷霆院弟子立即出动，抽出明晃晃的宝剑冲入魔兵阵中，挥剑如雷，杀得魔兵人仰马翻。
而弱水院殿后，以独特的柔水剑式构成绵韧的防线，以防敌人趁虚偷袭。
一番厮杀，由黄昏至子夜，魔兵与河东军大败，狼狈逃窜，留下满地残骸断刃，龙麟军已攻占大半河东，北伐大势一片明朗。
于秀婷却觉得心血隐约翻涌，试着以剑心预知吉凶，却是触及一片迷蒙。
忽闻侧面响起一声娇呼，循声望去只见篝火边上正站着一道倩影，地上打碎了一个瓷盅，一名白嫩少妇正吹着被烫得发红的手掌。
于秀婷莞尔笑道：「采苓，你在作甚？」
宫采苓连忙站直身子，行礼道：「见过婆婆！」
于秀婷走到她跟前，低头瞥了一眼，见她玉手被烫出一个水泡。
「采苓，还疼么？」
于秀婷温柔地拉起她的柔荑，用手帕替她包扎起来。
宫采苓微微一愣，她原本对这娴雅出尘的婆婆还有不少的敬畏，如今却感心头倏暖。
「嗯，没事了？」
宫采苓摇摇头道。
于秀婷道：「这么晚了，你还在这儿烧什么东西？」
宫采苓道：「剑鸣这些日子打仗辛苦得紧，我想熬些羹汤给他，但我笨手笨脚的……」
于秀婷笑道：「原来如此！」
说罢云袖轻拂，将放在一侧的食材卷了起来，又将打碎的瓷片聚成。
宫采苓不可思议地看着食材回到重组的瓷盅内，惊讶地说不出声来，心里暗忖道：「婆婆被称为剑仙，看来还真的是有仙法……」
于秀婷拉拢裙裾，蹲到篝火旁，笑道：「采苓，你对火候掌控得尚未纯熟，所以食材的味道无法充分溢出。」
宫采苓奇道：「婆婆，我的汤水已经洒了，您怎么知道的？」
于秀婷笑道：「为娘闻到汤水散发的味道。」
宫采苓不禁啧啧称奇，于是便虚心请教：「请婆婆教我！」
于秀婷温婉笑道：「别婆婆长婆婆短的，喊得我都老了，你也跟剑鸣一样叫我做娘吧。」
宫采苓脸蛋微红，咬唇轻呼了一声娘。
婆媳二人便悄然地在营地的一角调羹，颇为融融恰恰。
魏剑鸣与各路将领会晤探讨过后，拟定战略，回返帐内，宫采苓则捧着汤盅进来，柔声笑道：「夫君，辛苦了一天，喝点热汤补补身子吧。」
魏剑鸣笑着接过汤蛊，抿了一口。
宫采苓紧张地问道：「味道怎么样？」
魏剑鸣道：「很好喝，跟娘亲煮的几乎一样好喝。」
宫采苓不禁一阵脸红。
魏剑鸣伸了伸懒腰道：「妙哉，喝了采苓你亲手调制的汤羹，我现在充满力气了，明天一定可以一举攻下河东！」
宫采苓道：「明天又要打仗了？」
魏剑鸣点点头道：「没错，等会还要去凌帅、风相商议，明日一鼓作气打下河东其余军镇！」
过了片刻，魏剑鸣起身出了帐篷，独留宫采苓一人在帐。
宫采苓呆得有些孤寂，想了想便出了绣帐，走着夜路去寻于秀婷的帐篷。
帐篷内还燃着烛火，宫采苓心想：「灯烛尤亮，婆婆还未安寝，但我这样冒然来访，会不会惹她不快？」
她自幼丧母，但自从嫁入天剑谷这短短时日，于秀婷便对她关怀倍切，令得她对于秀婷生出一丝依恋，而刚才的一番相处，更是把于秀婷当做自己的母亲。
「外边的是采苓么？」
淡雅的声音传来，宫采苓粉面微红嗯了一声：「是……是的……」
珠帘掀开，于秀婷站在门前，笑道：「夜间风大，进来吧！」
宫采苓只闻及一片暖融温香扑面而来，心中生出一丝温暖，跟着于秀婷走进帐内。
帐内摆设颇为简单，只有一张床榻和两张软垫，宫采苓不禁有些讶异，自己住的地方也算是高床暖枕，红烛妆台，但婆婆却是这般简朴，一点都没有一朝太后之尊荣。
「婆婆……您怎么住的这般简陋？」
宫采苓支吾半天，不知说什么好，便随口寻了个话题道：「明天媳妇便让人给您装饰休整一番。」
于秀婷摇头道：「不必了，行军打仗，无需这般讲究，待击败敌人有的是机会装饰。」
宫采苓闻言脸颊又是一热，羞得低下头去，暗自埋怨自己胡言乱语：「现在兵荒马乱的，全军将士都在奋勇杀敌，我居然还想着铺张浪费……完了，婆婆一定会厌我不知简洁，不懂事理，」
于秀婷瞟了她一眼，多少猜出些端倪，拉过她柔荑道：「采苓，我随口说说而已，你别往心里去。」
宫采苓这才稍稍定神，感觉到婆婆的手掌温润若玉，暖和无比，不禁生出亲近之意，但却又不敢造次，只是希望她能握久一点。
于秀婷道：「采苓，你怎么不在营帐里休息？」
宫采苓道：「剑鸣去商讨军机大事了，我觉得一个人呆得发慌就来探望婆婆！」
于秀婷笑道：「那小子喝了汤羹了？有什么反应么？」
宫采苓道：「剑鸣很喜欢，都是多谢婆婆教导。」
于秀婷道：「有什么好多谢的，我那孩儿年幼轻狂，少不更事，我还十分担心他日后之事，如今你屈身下嫁，也算省了我一番心事。」
宫采苓脸颊又是微微一晕，于秀婷道：「采苓，你知书达理，剑鸣能娶得你自然是他福气，日后他若敢欺负你，你只管跟我说，我替你做主！」
宫采苓垂首轻声道：「夫君对奴家十分宠爱，不会欺负奴家的！」
于秀婷笑道：「你倒也是乖巧，跟雪芯一个模样！我我虽被辉儿尊为太后，但也不是帝皇人家，不管那些什么繁文缛节，你以后就不要那么拘束，我看你跟雪芯年纪差不多，以后你也叫我娘吧！」
宫采苓微微一怔，道：「这可以么？」
于秀婷道：「怎么不可以，反正雪芯也外嫁了，我身边就少了个女儿，如今多了你这么个媳妇自然是好的！」
宫采苓心窝一热，脱口而出道：「娘！」
眼圈一红，泪水涌出。
于秀婷道：「怎么哭了？」
宫采苓呜咽道：「奴家自幼丧母，今日触景伤情，不忍落泪……」
温婉笑道：「好孩子，以后你跟剑鸣、雪芯一样，都是我的孩子。」
宫采苓抹去眼泪，又抬起头来，柔柔地呼了一声娘，于秀婷眉开眼笑，越看这个媳妇越是称心，俨然把她当做半个女儿。
初阳燎原，旌旗蔽日，龙麟战鼓再度敲响。
凌霄率大军压境，河东军无力再战，左武卫亦是军心不振，不消多时，便是丧城失地，仅存最后的东景城。
裴国栋仿佛瞬间老了数十岁，原本还算乌黑的头发一夜间便成花白，皱纹也更是深刻。
而黄土魔军连同厉帝都已经撤回后方，如今的东景已是一座孤城。
崔煊毅策马而来，在城墙下高声喝道：「裴世伯，河东八镇我军已得其七，如今的东景兵弱将缺，你还要负隅顽抗吗，不如早早重择新主吧！」
裴国栋怒道：「裴家世代蒙受大恒重恩，岂会背主降贼！」
崔煊毅道：「世伯，识时务者为俊杰，如今大恒国运已衰，帝星入魔，你又何必这般愚忠呢！」
裴国栋呸了一口，啐道：「忘恩负义，背骨叛国之徒！」
崔煊毅神色一敛，微微一摆手，神火营出列，一字排开，吐出剧烈火舌，东景城墙在一片火海中颓然倒塌。
崔家军铁甲趁着火势掩杀过来。
裴国栋怒斥道：「全军迎敌，随老夫杀贼！」
谁知却闻及一片惊慌声，回头看去，只见麾下士兵竟争相而逃，原来河东军已被龙麟军杀破了胆，如今城墙崩塌，军心霎时大乱，哪还敢再战，纷纷夺路逃生。
裴国栋气得一阵哆嗦，两腮涌起一抹酡红，紧接着由红转紫，涨得犹若猪肝色，一口鲜血喷了出来。
这时一道身影跃上城池，锐刃抵住喉头，正是崔煊毅。
「裴世伯，投降吧！」
崔煊毅冷声说道。
裴国栋神色一片凄凉，哈哈苦笑，身子往前一扑，利剑贯穿喉咙，鲜血四溅，了断老命。
崔煊毅料不到他竟如此刚烈，宁死不降，不禁暗叹佩服，于是命人收敛尸身，加以厚葬，对于裴家族人，崔煊毅亦未冒犯，只是让他们解除了武备，散去丁勇，对于家眷财产秋毫未犯。
崔煊毅暗忖道：「我们崔家胜了便掌握生杀大权，可对裴家网开一面，若是形势互换，裴国栋是否会对我们家族赶尽杀绝呢？」
攻陷东景，龙麟军已取占据河东，宛若一柄利刃已悬于玉京头顶。
诸将汇聚中军大帐，拟定下一步军略方针。
风望尘道：「河东已尽数落于我军掌控，但前方依旧有奇异空间挡道！」
孙德道：「据派遣出去的探子回报，在河东与玉京之间有一片浩瀚沙地挡着。」
魏剑鸣道：「那便是黄土魔境，七大魔脉已经和神州产生空间叠合，那魔境已成为玉京的有一道屏障。」
风望尘道：「黄土魔境虚实未明，且先试探一番再下定夺！」
凌霄道：「然也，明日便遣一支精骑出营掠战，先试探着攻打外围。」
魏剑鸣道：「魏某也随军出战！」
凌霄蹙眉道：「只是一次试探性的掠战罢了，何须劳驾魏掌门。」
魏剑鸣道：「天剑谷曾多次与魔军交战，对他们手段甚是熟悉，正好可以借着此掠战试探的掩护，由魏某暗中行事，更进一步摸清魔界虚实！」
众人闻言不禁一阵沉默，风望尘凝思片刻道：「面对形势不明的阵地，试探性攻击是常用的手法，魔兵亦会如此想法，所以外围并不会有太多兵力部署，正好可以趁着个机会深入探究一番。」
魏剑鸣道：「风相所言甚是，魏某明日便率雷霆院弟子暗中一行。」
风望尘道：「但……魏掌门千万小心，对于敌情的试探只需深入三分，三分乃是敌军真正实力的边缘，若过于深入便会陷入险境。」
龙麟军派遣五百精骑出营掠战，刚到黄沙边境，便看见遍野旌旗，魔兵联营，金戈铁马。
凌霄和风望尘得知后，皆是脸色丕变。
孙德紧蹙眉头道：「按照这般架势来看，难道黄土魔境的兵力已全数压出来？」
风望尘沉着脸道：「魔兵新败，军心低落，按理来说是该先避开我军锐气，以守待攻，为何要摆出这种强硬架势？」
凌霄也是有些疑惑：「魔界这次行事着实有些让人难以估摸，他们把兵力全部压到边境上，后方岂不是露出一大片破绽来？」
风望尘摸了摸下巴道：「这个局面实在是叫人忍不住进攻！」
凌霄道：「反常即有妖，魔界越是想让咱们进攻，咱们就越不能遂他心意，传来全军按兵不动，摆阵静待！」
龙麟军铁甲营为前军，骑军居侧翼，神火营紧随其后，雷霆院掺于其中，作为一把利刃随时可以反击，弱水剑阵位于中间位置，协防各路军阵，凌霄则率雷火二部守在中路，孙德的灵隐军伺机而动，天剑谷的乾坤、星辰、忘情三院则继续藏于军中，以作策应。
大地忽然闹腾起来，众人抬头仰视，只见黄沙漫天，呼啸而来。
风望尘见状，足尖一点，施展引风功法，挂起一阵岚罡回敬沙尘风暴。
两股罡风相遇，气压受到干扰，风力相互散去，谁也没占到便宜。
黄土魔兵催动功体，魔气沿着地脉冲了过来，地面不断崩裂，地底熔浆喷涌而出。
魏剑鸣喝道：「弱水剑院，剑气化形，钉入地脉！」
弱水剑院弟子立即抽出宝剑，运足真元，挥剑刺入地面，剑气蕴水，以抗熔岩烈火，同时亦镇压乱颤的地脉，稳守龙麟军阵势。
「岂有此理！」
魔兵新败却如此主动挑战，惹得凌霄动怒，喝道：「魔孽如此畅快，欺我龙麟军无人否！」
一声令下，万马奔腾，骑兵冲杀。
只见魔兵阵营中也冲出一支黄甲骑兵，胯下所骑正是天马。
天马与魔兵功体相互融合，时而成实体，时而为风沙，其魔能蕴含于沙尘间，龙麟军骑兵被沙尘所刮过，顷刻骨肉竟销。
眼见前军失礼，魔兵张狂，魏剑鸣抽出骊龙剑，遥指魔兵阵营喝道：「雷霆院弟子听令，结金刚雷霆剑阵！」
雷霆院众弟子踏出特定步伐，形成一个圆环剑阵，同时凝聚剑气，霎时金光乍现，剑气冲霄。
魔兵引沙土未护，攻向天剑谷剑阵。
轰隆一声，一道晴天霹雳凌空降下，劈在魔兵阵中，金色电芒四下窜开，触及黄沙泥土，将其震散，一举压制住魔兵首波攻势。
雷霆院弟子全身金光绽放，挥舞雷霆剑芒，冲入敌阵，顿时战场上暴雷怒鸣，金光大作，只看剑侠挥戈怒斩魔兵，无论魔兵是沙土化形，还是实相出战，凡被这金色雷剑击中者，皆难逃死伤。
陈慧轩持剑现身，指挥弱水剑院弟子侧翼协防，只看他剑锋一转，剑藏水意，弱水院弟子也出剑相应，立即在战场上卷起一股千尺巨浪。
雷霆剑气至刚，弱水剑意至柔，二者合一，立即翻卷战局，将前来攻阵的魔兵一卷歼灭。
更甚者，水浪不休，冲向前方干旱沙地，而水浪中又载着雷霆剑罡，进一步扩大杀伤范围，魔兵前军要么伤于水剑，要么亡于雷罡。
陈慧轩持剑引气，遥控弟子们倾吐剑气，将水浪剑芒越引越高，好似天河决堤般，无穷无尽的洪水灌入黄土境内，势要淹没这不祥魔地。
然而魔兵也非省油灯，只看他们策动魔气地脉，在黄沙地上形成一个流沙地，将洪水引入地下，瓦解攻势。
魏剑鸣见状，朝着陈慧轩使了个眉色，对方心领神会，立即说道：「浪涛无极，弱水为强！」
弱水剑院弟子立即改换招式，再添三分气力，使得水浪更加汹涌。
魏剑鸣立即集合雷霆剑院弟子们，下令道：「施展雷霆龙罡剑，破魔在此一剑！」
众弟子精神振奋，催动元功，同时挥出至刚至强的一剑。
顿时金光大作，雷罡聚成龙形，一条金色蟠龙乘风破浪，腾舞于巨浪间，扑向魔兵阵营。
只闻轰隆一声，平地炸起一朵雷云，魔兵前营防守尽溃，魔兵也遭炸得魔元崩散，形体溃灭。
凌霄把握战机，喝道：「骑兵立刻给我重整阵型，只要还能动就给本帅爬起来！」
几名千兵长级别的骑将纷纷收拢自己的队伍。
凌霄振臂呼道：「骑军行合围尖锥阵，左右奔杀，击敌双翼。」
当打开敌营正面缺口后，骑兵便快速从左右掩杀，这是战场上一贯的战术，虽然简单，却能最为有效地打击敌人，扩大战果。
随着骑兵乘虚冲入，魔兵前阵的缺口越来越大，战况一片大好，然而风望尘和凌霄却依旧愁眉紧锁，因为敌军的底牌尚未现出，战局随时可能逆转。
倏然，一股阴风煞气涌来，万鬼咆哮声连绵响起。
凌霄、风望尘脸色同时一变，魏剑鸣也随即紧握剑戒备。
「厉帝交给我，诸位继续对付魔兵！」
淡雅仙音飘来，只看于秀婷再度御剑而现，迎上前方阴气。
阴气蔓延不休，于秀婷剑指一划，将来犯阴气尽数击溃。
一股阴风煞气回旋聚集，形成心魔魂体。
于秀婷剑眉轻扬，笑道：「手臂又长出来了？」
厉帝怒道：「贼贱人，孤王定要断你四肢，再慢慢将你凌辱至死！」
于秀婷哼道：「废话！」
剑诀一扬，数道剑气飞掠而出。
厉帝运足阴气，劈出一记重掌，正是要以强力扫灭剑气。
于秀婷以剑指隔空引动，剑气轨迹刁钻难测，避开掌劲，绕到厉帝脑后，同时刺向玉枕、大椎、中枢三大要穴。
这三大穴位位于督脉走向之上，若是被击破，就算厉帝的魂体如何诡异，也得散去大半阴气。
厉帝心魔自然知道其中紧要，立即将魂体散开，剑气顿时打了个空。
于秀婷也是暗吃一惊，忖道：「这西贝货居然还能控制身体的虚实，比起本尊来似乎也弱不到哪里！」
厉帝本尊有四重煞体，攻击、防御、回元皆堪称无懈可击，然而心魔虽不如本尊，但聚万婴魂气成体，便比本尊多了一种神通，可以随时散去形体，在虚实间切换，更是使人难以捉摸。
厉帝驾驭万婴魂气杀来，于秀婷见对方来得诡异，于是拿起龑霆剑，在身旁划了个圈，将魂气挡在方圆三步之外，谁知耳边响起一阵婴孩凄惨的啼哭，哭声中隐约可以听见「娘亲」
的叫喊。
于秀婷心头暮地一紧，气息莫名一滞，有种说不出的悲切和难受感，这时魂气聚成一只巨爪拍向于秀婷背门。
「娘亲！」
魏剑鸣看见母亲危急，连忙提剑杀来。
于秀婷惊呼道：「剑鸣，这有古怪，别……」
过来二字还未说完，魏剑鸣早已冲了过来，而且挥剑劈散了鬼爪。
于秀婷忙道：「剑鸣，你没事吧？」
魏剑鸣摇头道：「没有事啊！」
于秀婷见儿子面色如常，吐息沉稳，并无任何异样，心中顿时有些奇怪：「连我受到影响，为何剑鸣没有事？」
这时魂气又朝这边涌来，于秀婷吃过亏，当下运足剑心抵御那阵诡异的哭喊声。
对于这诡异的魂气，她采取较为妥当的做法，将剑气外放一丈，并旋转起来，形成一个护身漩涡，将魂气卸开。
这股魂气冲势颇急，落入了后方一处战场，于秀婷看得仔细，魂气所过之处，士兵立即被夺取生机，但却没有出现任何精神上的异样。
「为何刚才我会有心神失守的感觉？」
她着实疑惑，既然这股魂气连她的心神都能干扰，那么这些普通士兵就应该会被弄得发疯，可是实情却是这万婴魂气只是夺取活人气息，并未扰乱神智。
就在此时，一股磅礴魔气猛冲而来，于秀婷收敛心神，一剑刺去。
金铁交击声响起，剑刃之上正是抵住一口魔刀，持刀者正是魔尊，正是刀剑相争，仙魔再会。
魔尊哼道：「于谷主久违了！」
于秀婷道：「好说！」
两人说话间，已经快速挥舞兵器，快速交手，现场只留下一连串的残影，当双方再度分开时，刀剑对碰的声音才逐一响起，可谓是「刀快剑速断声响」。
对于魔尊忽然出现战场，于秀婷却没有半点惊愕，似乎早有预算。
一轮刀剑相斗后，魔尊抽身退至一侧，心中亦有所震惊：「好个剑仙，面对本尊的突然出现，还如此冷静！」
他刀锋遥指于秀婷，说道：「于谷主，你可知道本尊是从何处来的么？」
于秀婷道：「你从合出来与我何干！」
魔尊道：「自然有莫大干系，而且对于贵军来说也是关系重大。」
于秀婷淡然轻笑，不予争辩。
魔尊道：「本尊方从蛰龙潭而来，将你们所谓的龙主打入泥潭！」
此话一出，龙麟军半数人纷纷变色。
于秀婷清啸一声，清悦仙音婉转而出，安抚众人情绪：「老魔头最擅蛊惑人心，诸君莫要相信！陛下乃真龙转生，武威盖世，岂会轻易落败！」
言毕，于秀婷剑指一引，四道剑芒飞跃而来，沛然剑意笼罩全场，正是诛仙四剑齐现。
魔尊脸色一沉，如临大敌，同时运起三大心魔之力，杨烨、袁齐天、沧释天幻化成型，惊得龙麟军众将一阵讶然。
于秀婷道：「端木老魔，且看你这三大心魔能不能挡住本座的诛仙剑意！」
说罢龑霆剑朝天一指，四口神剑立即飞来。
厉帝心魔传音过来道：「尊主，待我们联手与她斗上一斗吧！」
魔尊道：「不必，一切按照计划进行，由本尊对付这诛仙剑阵，你且去击杀那小子！」
厉帝应了一声是，立即抽身离开，直扑魏剑鸣而去。
于秀婷剑眉微微一皱，暗骂道：「不要脸的煞鬼，居然以大欺小！」
于是便要策动诛仙剑意去阻截，而魔尊却是快上一步，将尊皇魔刀一扬，魔魂冲来。
于秀婷难以抽身，冷喝一声：「找死！」
手中龑霆剑一横，诛仙四剑受到召唤，立即结成剑阵，磅礴无比的剑意涌出，浩瀚似海，巍峨胜山，宽阔如地，威严若天。
天地形成剑之空间，剑意弥散，剑中造化，万物聚生，魔尊亲身体会这上古奇阵，面色无比凝重，当下豁尽魔元，手中尊皇魔刀立即呼应，历代魔尊魔魂涌出，冲击诛仙剑阵。
另一方面，厉帝恃强凌弱，对着魏剑鸣施展雷霆手段。
魏剑鸣亦今非昔比，不但功力大增，心智亦成熟许多，知道此时不是逞强之刻，金骊剑灌足真气，硬接厉帝重爪。
砰地一声，魏剑鸣根基不足，惨被震退，但他也趁机退入自家阵中，而魏剑鸣的剑罡甚是雄厚猛烈，即便是他也遭反震力推开几步。
「小子，看你往哪跑！」
厉帝稳住身形，纵身追来，这时两道剑光从左右袭来，厉帝掌势一横，腰身一转，带出一团剧烈的漩涡阴气卸开剑芒，定神一看来袭者竟是简慧衣与陈慧轩。
「两位长老，随剑鸣一并斩鬼！」
魏剑鸣平稳内息后，再聚龙血异能，挥动剑器，他竖劈横削，使出一道十字剑罡击向厉帝。
同时两大长老剑气瞬动，前后呼应，分击厉帝左右。
魏剑鸣剑罡雄厚，两大长老剑术精妙，相互配合下，却让厉帝失却退路，唯有聚劲硬接。
厉帝真元倾吐，形成一个护身气罡，硬挡三剑围攻。
只闻啵一声，陈慧轩和简慧衣被阴劲震退，但魏剑鸣却是一剑刺破了厉帝的护身气罩。
两位长老虽被震退，但他们剑术精妙，方才出剑时尤留三分余力，厉帝的阴劲并未伤及他们，而魏剑鸣有龙血在身，气脉浑厚，不但承受住阴劲反震，还能强破气罩，直取厉帝喉头。
厉帝窥准来势，举掌挡格，掌心处凝聚出一团柔韧阴气，牢牢锁住剑锋，怒道：「小子，你找死！」
魏剑鸣催动龙血异能，臂力陡增，使出一招「元罡破邪剑」，金骊剑抖擞金光，窜出一条金龙。
厉帝的阴气虽然封住剑刃，但龙气却是来得突然，猛地冲击魂体，厉帝闷哼一声，竟也是损了几分魂力，令得他着实恼怒，气海真元爆冲，震得地动山摇，吐出一股巨力将魏剑鸣震飞。
阴气爆冲，魏剑鸣亦遭伤，一口鲜血吐出牙关。
风望尘见状，暗中传音：「月长老，一切皆在算计中，速速开启炼神浮屠，准备一举歼灭魔兵！」
月俊宛在军中沉寂多日，早已憋了一股子鸟气，闻得军令迅速逆转万变幻元术，只见后方阵中光影浮动，一座磅礴巨塔巍峨耸立，原来炼神浮屠一直都呆在北伐军中，只是月俊宛以幻术掩盖了其真身。
出兵之前，北伐军早已算到今日的情形，数名破虚高手同时现身，而于秀婷则及时祭出诛仙剑阵迎敌，虽然以一人之力无法施展完全的剑阵，但凭借着于秀婷的根基也足以驾驭七成剑意，正好可以困住一两个高手，与此同时，马上推出炼神浮屠，大范围地扫荡敌军。
但魔尊孤身抵挡诛仙剑阵却是有些出乎意料，故而使得魏剑鸣要以弱敌强，迎击厉帝。
魏剑鸣也心知此战重要性，胜负全系于母亲之上，只要诛仙剑阵击败魔尊，那北伐战略便可大功告成，在此之前，他无论如何都必须顶住厉帝的狂攻。
「凌霄，咱们去助魏掌门！」
风望尘卷起一股飓风飞去，凌霄也不敢怠慢，抽出军刀，大步奔去援助。
而诛仙剑阵中，七成的诛仙剑意铺天盖地浇下，陷仙剑气困敌锁功，魔尊身处剑阵，魔元先受压制，使得内息不顺，已经落了下风，唯有以刀中魔魂筑起三重防线，抵挡杀招。
「胜败便在此一举！」
魔尊咬牙死撑，被龙辉潜雷劲打伤的气脉此刻还隐隐作痛，此刻诛仙、戮仙两重剑气交叠卷来，砰地一声击破三十三魔魂。
魔魂虽散，但魔刀上的魂石犹在，根本尚存，只要过些时日便可重生魂气。
但是远水不解近渴，三十三魔魂已破，等同于魔尊的第一道防线失守，只余六十六道魔魂，防御力大大减弱。
「厉帝，你还磨蹭什么！」
魔尊大吼一声，魔音震开陷仙剑气的围困，传到外界，但很快又被陷仙剑气封锁住。
That roar consumed a great deal of true energy, and the Demon Lord's face turned pale. He was exhausted and inwardly groaned. If it were a simple contest, he was confident that he could use the power of the Demon Blade and the inner demon to fight against the overwhelming attack of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. However, the formation was called a formation because it was not just about simple attacks. The four immortal swords cooperated with each other to form many powers such as attack, kill, trap, confuse, limit, and weaken. In short, it was not only about killing you, but also about suppressing you to your weakest point before dealing with you calmly.
Upon receiving the Demon Lord's order, the Demon Emperor Li's eyes narrowed, and he had already made a plan. He grunted, mustered his Yin energy, and pressed it into his dantian, forming a violent vortex of Yin energy. Then, he shouted loudly, and the Yin energy surged out, condensing between his palms, and forcefully struck Wei Jianming.
This technique of first suppressing and then releasing is precisely the Great Cycle of Reincarnation.
At this moment, Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen had not yet arrived, but Emperor Li's sinister palm had already swept towards them. Wei Jianming used all his life's energy, pointed his sword towards the sky, absorbed the brilliance of the sun, and instantly accumulated enough true power to meet Emperor Li's heavy palm and chop down with his sword, using the "Sunlit Dragon Flower Sword".
This time, Wei Jianming concentrated the essence of the blazing sun into a single sharp sword. Abandoning complexity, he simply used force to strike the sword. The sword light emitted a scorching wave of energy, extremely masculine, which perfectly countered Emperor Li's yin power.
The yin energy and the yang sword energy clashed, without any fancy moves; the stronger prevailed! A powerful pressure surged outwards, forcing Jian Huiyi and Chen Huixuan to stay away, causing them great anxiety.
With a loud bang, followed by a crisp clang, came the sound of a sword breaking.
Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen watched in terror, wishing they had four extra legs so they could arrive in time.
Blood splattered on the yellow earth, and his body collapsed to the ground.
"Valley Master!"
"Sect Leader!"
Jian Huiyi and Chen Huixuan both cried out in anguish.
Ling Xiao roared, "Elder Yue, fire the cannon!"
The Refining God Pagoda unleashed a crimson light and struck out with a deafening roar, instantly setting the enemy camp ablaze and incinerating all the demons. The demon army suffered more than half its casualties, and its formation crumbled.
Within the sword formation, Yu Xiuting's heart was filled with grief and rage. Tears streamed down her face, and her sword intent grew even more frenzied, determined to annihilate the demon before her: "Duanmu Hou, you shall die!"
The sword energy crisscrossed, powerful enough to devour the heavens and the earth, annihilating the remaining sixty-six demonic souls and dismantling the Demon Lord's defenses in one fell swoop.
The Demon Lord desperately tried to protect his vital points and swung his sword to defend himself, but with each sword strike he blocked, his arm became heavier. After blocking ten sword strikes, his tiger's mouth split open and bled.
The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, suddenly gathered his three inner demons, and charged into the sword energy with his sword. At the same time, he summoned the Bodhi Demon Body. He blocked the sword with his sword while using his internal energy to defend himself, and actually managed to break through more than fifty steps.
However, he was the first to engage in battle, his demonic energy was running out, and his protective qi was no match for the Zhuxian sword qi. He was quickly cut and wounded all over his body, but he had a wicked smile in his eyes because he had reached the range where he could make a move.
"Valley Master, I have sent you a generous gift; please accept it!"
The Demon Lord laughed and pushed with his palm, sending a strange object, resembling mist and smoke, flying towards Yu Xiuting.
Strangely enough, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, which can sever all things, could not harm this strange object. It was said to be a kind of illusory soul, but it did not seem to be, because the Immortal Slaying Sword, which had the ability to control Yin, did not react.
Unaware of its true nature, Yu Xiuting immediately used her sword to protect herself, but the mass instantly dispersed and disappeared. Then, she heard a series of pitiful yet pure cries of infants in her mind, each sound filled with longing and reluctance for their mothers, and the purest resentment.
Yu Xiuting felt a sharp pain in her forehead, and her sword heart suddenly went into chaos. Her original grief was amplified infinitely, giving rise to a chilling killing intent and mania.
The Demon Lord grinned smugly: "This thing is the resentment of ten thousand infants. Strangely enough, it has no effect on men, no effect on young women, and no effect even on weak women who have never had children. But it is most effective on mothers who have lost their children!"
The void parted, and with two muffled groans, two figures fell back into Hengcheng; they were Xiao Xiao and Shui Lingti.
Lianyi and Wei Xuexin immediately went to greet her. Lianyi helped Xiaoxiao up with a pained expression and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Where's your husband? Why hasn't he come back?"
Shui Lingti's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her face. Wei Xuexin's sword heart trembled inexplicably, and an ominous premonition arose: "What exactly happened to my brother?"
Xiao Xiao said, "We were ambushed by the Demon Lord. Meat Eggplant pushed the three of us into the void tunnel and then faced the Demon Lord alone!"
Wei Xuexin's heart skipped a beat. She placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, drew it with a clang, and was about to go and support Long Hui.
"stop!"
Luo Qingyan suddenly appeared and stopped her, saying, "Xuexin, you stay here!"
Wei Xuexin turned around, looking aggrieved, and said, "Auntie..."
Luo Qingyan said, "The Demon Lord has emerged from seclusion, using his unpreparedness to exploit his scheme. If we act rashly, we will only fall into his trap and give him an opening!"
Wei Xuexin asked, "Then, what should we do?"
Luo Qingyan said, "With Long Hui's abilities, even if he is ambushed by the Demon Lord first, he can still protect himself. If I'm not mistaken, he is at most injured, or even has some of his power sealed off, just like Bing'er did back then, but his life is definitely not in danger."
Wei Xuexin pursed her lips and said, "Then what should we do?"
Luo Qingyan said, "Now that the Demon Lord is in the shadows while our army is in the open, the only option is to observe the situation and strike only after the enemy has made their move!"
Wei Xuexin said "Oh" and obediently inserted the Time Sword into its sheath. Just as the blade was returning to its sheath, her wrist inexplicably trembled, and the Time Sword fell to the ground.
Wei Xuexin's face changed drastically. She clutched her chest, bent down to pick up the Sword of Time, and trembled slightly.
Luo Qingyan secretly made hand seals and used the demon race's secret telepathic technique to communicate with Lu Mingluan: "Mingluan, come to Hengcheng quickly, I need to go to Hedong immediately!"
