Mutual destruction!

Elder Ma sneered incessantly, flipping his hand to take out a green talisman and crushing it.

With a "bang", the green talisman exploded, releasing a large amount of green smoke that enveloped Elder Ma's entire body, penetrating his wounds.

In no time, the bloody hole in his shoulder began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Guanxing steadied his body, watching Elder Ma healing himself, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"Mu Chen Immortal Sect, wealthy and powerful, they have everything..."

Xia Guanxing let out a frustrated sigh.

In terms of personal combat strength, he was a Sword Immortal, not afraid of Elder Ma at all.

But in terms of equipment, Elder Ma's immortal treasures, talismans, healing potions, and so on were endless, all of them extraordinary items unattainable by ordinary people.

"It's time to end this!"

Elder Ma sheathed his double swords, patted his storage bag, and a pitch-black iron sword appeared in his hand out of thin air, its surface covered with dry rust, emanating a black-and-gold luster.

"Xia Guanxing, do you recognize this sword?" he asked smugly.

Xia Guanxing wiped the immortal blood from the corner of his mouth, his pupils shrinking as he exclaimed, "The Xuantian Divine Sword!"

Elder Ma couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Emperor Xuantian once forged seventy-two divine swords and bestowed them to seventy-two First Grade Golden Immortals. This is one of them! To you, a Sword Immortal, the Xuantian Divine Sword is like a dream lover, right?"

Xia Guanxing was shocked: "The Xuantian Divine Sword, so rare and precious, how did it end up in your hands?"

Elder Ma laughed sinisterly: "If you're allowed to be a Child of Destiny, why can't I, Ma Chengkong, also have a stroke of luck?"

He gently stroked the Xuantian Divine Sword lovingly, saying ferociously: "This is the first time I've used the Xuantian Divine Sword since I obtained it, and I'll use your Sword Immortal blood to wash away the rust and sharpen its edge!"

The Xuantian Divine Sword suddenly lit up, flickering with an unparalleled holy sword light.

Elder Ma raised his hand to wield the Xuantian Divine Sword, laughing: "As a Sword Immortal, dying under the Xuantian Divine Sword, you should have no regrets!"

Xia Guanxing instantly displayed despair on his face.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of him.

"You?" Xia Guanxing was startled and uncertain.

Although he didn't know Fang Zhixing, he knew that the Yellow Bell Sect people were stationed at the Phantom Spirit Fortress, and the leader was none other than Fang Zhixing, the Master of Eight Tribes. This person was the heir of the Thousand-Autumn Bell, young and promising, but not well-known.

At the same moment, Elder Ma's eyes widened, and he shouted sharply: "Fang Sect Leader, what are you doing?"

Fang Zhixing said nothing, releasing the Thousand-Autumn Bell, and suddenly punched fiercely.

Dang~

The space was locked!

For a fleeting moment, the Xuantian Divine Sword was halted... then came slaughtering again!

"As expected of a Divine Sword, it can easily break through spatial restraints."

Fang Zhixing remained calm and collected, with his Admirable Golden Eyes shooting out a ray of blood light.

Swish!

The blood light shone upon the Xuantian Divine Sword.

In the next instant, the Xuantian Divine Sword finally stopped.

"How is this possible?!"

Elder Ma was shocked, his jaw dropping.

Even though he's a Fourth Grade Golden Immortal, only able to wield part of the Xuantian Divine Sword's divine power, it wasn't something Fang Zhixing could resist.

The next moment, Fang Zhixing raised his hand and cast several mysterious spells.

Each spell shone bright with blood light, deeply crimson, making one's scalp tingle.

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!

Altogether, nine spells appeared, arranged in a straight line.

"Nine-Character True Word Blood Curse Seal!"

Fang Zhixing pushed his palm horizontally, and in an instant, the nine blood-red spells shot forth, linking in a line.

This scene...

"Fourth Grade Perfection!"

Elder Ma was terrified, his heart sinking to the bottom of Heavenly Fall.

From a distance, the nine blood-red spells condensed into a massive pillar of light, piercing through the void, directly enveloping Elder Ma.

"No..."

Elder Ma let out a shrill scream, his Fourth Grade Late Stage Golden Immortal body shattering and flying apart like glass.

When the light dissipated, the void calmed down.

Elder Ma had completely disappeared, both body and soul extinguished.

Instant death!

Xia Guanxing's breath froze, his heart filled with incomparable shock.

As a Sword Immortal, he was known as invincible at the same level, not a brag.

But Fang Zhixing's demonstrated power far exceeded being invincible at the same level, giving a massive oppressive force that seemed to dominate everyone.

Fang Zhixing put away the small black flag, the Xuantian Divine Sword, and Elder Ma's storage bag, then turned around, his gaze falling upon Xia Guanxing.

Xia Guanxing's heart tightened, he stepped back half a step, bowing his head: "Thank you, Sect Leader Fang, for saving my life."

Fang Zhixing asked calmly: "The 'secret' you mentioned just now, what exactly is it?"

At this question!

Xia Guanxing's expression changed, he quickly spoke: "The secret is that this recent outbreak of evil disaster, or rather, all outbreaks of evil disasters, are not natural disasters but human-made! The mastermind is most likely Mu Chen Immortal Sect."

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're saying the evil disaster is being orchestrated by Mu Chen Immortal Sect? For what purpose?"

Xia Guanxing replied: "To harvest qi! Qi remains mostly constant in a particular area.

This means, if someone dies, their qi will transfer to others. The more deaths, the greater the flow.

In summary, Mu Chen Immortal Sect seems to have mastered a way to gather qi onto a person or an object.

For this purpose, Mu Chen Immortal Sect periodically creates one or more evil disasters, destroying many sects, sacrificing countless lives, to harvest qi.

This time, my Stargazing Sword Sect has been listed on the sacrificial register; all disciples, including myself, are to be killed.

If I'm not mistaken, your Yellow Bell Sect is also on the sacrificial register; no one will escape."
