Chapter 408: Killing at the Door

Tongtian Sword Sect, Tianhe Peak.

In deep winter, the mountains are covered with snow, except for a huge waterfall cascading down from Tianhe Peak, which converges into a long river at the foot of the mountain.

The waterfall is several miles wide, with a drop of more than a hundred feet. The water flows as turbulently as thousands of horses galloping, with extraordinary momentum.

The rising water vapor turns into thick white mist, and the roaring sound of water can be heard echoing among the mountains.

The waterfall is magnificent, hence the name Tianhe.

The trees on both sides of the river bank are covered with crystal icicles, like silver trees and white flowers, which are extremely magnificent under the sunlight.

Gui Wuqi was sitting on a huge rock on the bank of the long river, facing the waterfall that looked like a river in the sky above.

The huge rock covered with crystal white frost also left a circular mark when he sat on it.

Ever since the failure of Tianxiang Sword Palace, Gui Wuqi has occupied Tianhe Peak since his return, where he watches the water and practices sword skills every day.

He was practicing the Thunder Sword Sutra, and should have been observing the changes in wind and thunder, and feeling the transformation of yin and yang in heaven and earth, which was the right way to practice swordsmanship.

Gui Wuqi fled in a panic at Tianxiang Sword Palace, and cracks began to appear in his sword heart.

For other cultivators, failure a few times would not have any impact. Even for a sword cultivator like Xiao Hongye, failure is a valuable experience for her.

He follows the path of detachment from the world, being heartless and unfeeling, treating everything as normal, without leaving any trace in his heart.

After being repeatedly beaten by Gao Xian, Gao Xian left a deep mark in his heart. He had become his inner demon! The best way was to kill Gao Xian. This would not only get rid of the inner demon, but also remove all the grievances. His cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

However, Gui Wuqi knew very well that he was no match for Gao Xian. This path was obviously not feasible.

There was no other way, Gui Wuqi could only temper his body and will through hard training, hoping to refine his inner demons in this way.

To this end, he completely restrained his magical power and allowed his body to be invaded by the cold.

At this moment, his head and body were covered with frost, and even his eyebrows and beard had traces of frost.

The body of a Jindan sword cultivator is far superior to that of an ordinary Jindan. Although the cold here is extremely fierce, it is not enough to hurt him.

Gui Wuqi's body was just a little stiff, he was not really injured.

He has been sitting here for three years. For a Jindan, it is not difficult to practice for three years, but few people can sit still.

Gui Wuqi was not sitting here to practice swordsmanship, but to think over and over again about his failure.

Every time he thought of failure, he felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if he was stabbing himself in the heart with a sword.

But the more times you poke me, the less painful it will be.

Gui Wuqi's asceticism was not on the physical level, but on the spiritual level to torture himself.

Since the mind cannot overcome the obstacles, just smash your mind and the obstacles together.

Just like when a big tree grows crooked, you cut it off along the roots and let it grow again.

Destroy and then rebuild, this is the solution Gui Wuqi thought of, and he also put it into practice.

Over the past ten years, he has indeed taken another path.

To him, Gao Xian is no longer a demon.

The newly solidified sword heart is full of cracks but is extremely solid, stable and powerful.

Gui Wuqi even came to like this way of training. Given time, he would be able to kill Gao Xian with his sword.

As for people like Xiao Hongye, there is no need to care about them at all.

The night is getting darker. There is no moon in the sky today, only countless stars shining quietly.

Suddenly, colorful flames rose up in the distant sky, illuminating the starry sky in an instant.

"It's New Year's Eve. Another year has passed..."

When Gui Wuqi saw the dazzling flames, he immediately remembered that today was the last day of the year.

It is the custom of Tongtian Sword Sect to set off fireworks on New Year's Eve. The colorful flames can shine thousands of miles away.

When he was young, Gui Wuqi was quite interested in casting firework spells.

Once he completes building his foundation, he will find these things boring.

Gui Wuqi's mood today is even more indifferent and distant, and he no longer cares about these things.

To him, festivals like New Year's Eve are just a cultivator's superficial understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. Apart from that, they have no special meaning and are not worth celebrating.

Gui Wuqi just withdrew his gaze, but suddenly a warning sign appeared in his heart.

When he turned his eyes, he found that there was a person in front of him.

This man had a slender figure, with cold and majestic features. Although his golden eyes shone with the five-colored flames of the starry sky, they could not conceal the cold sharpness deep in his eyes.

The white clothes he wore were whiter than snow, and looked as graceful as clouds.

Gui Wuqi couldn't help but be shocked. This man had an extraordinary demeanor and bearing. Although he didn't know where he came from, he instinctively felt awe for him.

How could there be such a person in the Tongtian Sword Sect? ! Gui Wuqi didn't care about his hard training. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Who are you and why did you trespass into the Tongtian Sword Sect?"

The man in white was none other than Taiyuan Shenxiang. He flew for more than ten days before arriving at Tongtian Sword Sect, just in time to catch the New Year's Eve fireworks.

"I have heard of the great name of the Wuqi Divine Sword for a long time, and I have come here to learn from it."

Gao Xian said this casually as he walked in front of Gui Wuqi.

This is the Tongtian Sword Sect. If any noise gets loud enough, it will definitely alert the Wind and Thunder Sword Master. He won't have time to reminisce and chat with Gui Wuqi.

Gao Xian's long sleeves fluttered like flowing clouds, but contained a soft and ethereal sword intent, which seemed to be there and not there, fast and slow, just like flowing clouds, ethereal and unpredictable.

He was wearing this white robe, which was the White Emperor Qiankun Transformation Sword, activated by a first-grade sword pill. Every move he made was filled with pure and unparalleled sword energy. He didn't need to transform into a sword at all.

Gui Wuqi immediately realized that what the other party was unleashing was not magic, but pure sword energy unleashed by sword intent.

The long sleeves were as elegant and flowing as clouds, but they were sharp enough to cut him in two.

Moreover, the cloud-like sword energy covers all directions, just like light floating clouds covering the sun and the moon. Its changes are complex and subtle, and the sword intent is supreme.

"This man's swordsmanship is far superior to mine! His cultivation is also more refined!"

Gui Wuqi immediately realized that something was wrong, but he was enveloped by the opponent's sword intent and could not leave even if he wanted to.

In times of crisis, he instead burst out with great fighting spirit.

Gui Wuqi did not retreat but advanced, he drew out the Xiandu Sword. The three-foot-long azure blade turned into a sharp lightning bolt and slashed directly at the opponent's heart.

His newly refined sword heart made his sword intent more solid and powerful, and the thunder sword energy he stimulated became more fierce.

The sword spirit in the Xiandu Sword also resonated with Gui Wuqi in an instant. The sword spirit guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform into thunder sword light, instantly increasing the power of the sword to the extreme.

This move, with its thousands-mile-long thunder, is also the most powerful and imposing sword technique in the Thunder Sword Manual.

Gui Wuqi could not recognize the origin of the other party's swordsmanship, but he vaguely felt that it was similar to the Yunxiang Sword in the Tongtian Sword Sutra, but also very different.

When facing an unknown and powerful enemy, we must respond with dignity and integrity, so as to make fewer mistakes.

Gao Xian noticed the change in Gui Wuqi's sword intent. It was no longer as resolute and fierce as before, but it was more heavy and solid.

After not seeing him for more than ten years, Gui Wuqi has actually changed his approach and has achieved quite good results.

At least he has made great progress in terms of sword intent, and is now more majestic than before.

The Thunder Sword Sutra requires the sword to be as fast as thunder, and to be grand, upright, majestic and magnificent.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"He is also a talent, what a pity."

Gao Xian silently gave Gui Wuqi a thumbs up. This guy is indeed talented in swordsmanship. Yes, he is better than Xiao Hongye and Yun Qiushui. His temperament is also more suitable for swordsmanship.

If he hadn't met him, Gui Wuqi would have had a good chance of becoming the Sword King in the future.

However, he was far inferior to him. Even though he had not formed a first-grade sword pill, his swordsmanship was far superior to Gui Wuqi's.

He formed a first-grade sword pill, with sword intent and sword energy refined to the extreme. He also refined the Baidi Qiankun Transformation Sword into his natal sword, and was no longer on the same level as Gui Wuqi.

Gao Xian can now see through the changes in Gui Wuqi's sword intent, including the various changes in the sword and sword energy.

It can be said to be clear at a glance.

This is also because the first-grade sword pill is too high in rank and directly crushes low-level sword cultivators.

Facing the azure Xiandu Sword that was like thunder across the sky, Gao Xian rolled up his long sleeves like clouds.

The majestic and powerful sword light of thunder suddenly disappeared into thin air, like a mud ox entering the sea, or a flying bird flying into the forest.

Gui Wuqi even felt that the Xiandu Sword had been swallowed up, as if there was an abyss in the other party's sleeve, vast and endless, yet empty, deep and obscure.

Gui Wuqi was even more shocked. What kind of cultivation level did the other party have to be able to easily dissolve all the power of his sword? Could it be a Yuanying Zhenjun? !

He did not dare to hesitate at all, and quickly used the secret method to ignite the golden elixir. In an instant, the power of the sword energy increased threefold.

The Xiandu Sword, which was swallowed by the opponent's cloud-like long sleeves, suddenly turned into a raging thunder and exploded. The shining blazing lightning had penetrated the opponent's long sleeves, illuminating the dark space.

The whistling sound of the thunderous sword was so earth-shaking that the huge sound of the Tianhe Waterfall in the distance was drowned out by the whistling sound.

The sound of the sword whistling continued to spread outward, causing the mountains to roar, and the snow on many peaks collapsed in the roar.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color and the mountains roared.

Such reputation also made many powerful people in Tongtian Sword Sect realize that something was wrong.

The leader of Tongtian Sword Sect, Fenglei Jianjun, was alarmed. He sensed the burst of thunder sword energy with his spiritual sense, and he was also shocked. Something happened to Gui Wuqi! Fenglei Jianjun knew that Gui Wuqi was practicing hard at Tianhe Peak, and he did not hesitate to use his sword to soar into the sky.

On Tianhe Peak, Gao Xian saw the sharp sword light rising from a thousand miles away through the Flower-Jianling Mirror.

"The Wind and Thunder Sword Master is here..."

Gao Xian's mind turned and the stars moved. This move of the Astrological Sword could transform the enemy's magic power and sword energy.

When the power of the Thunder Sword exploded to its extreme, the surging Thunder Sword light suddenly reversed and slashed straight towards Gui Wuqi.

Gui Wuqi had never expected such a change to happen. The sword that he had unleashed with all his strength using his secret technique actually hit him. How could he block it?

In desperation, Gui Wuqi could only restrain his sword energy and on the other hand activate the seven layers of lightning from the Beigang Seven Thunder Robe to protect his body.

The reversed Xiandu Sword pierced through seven layers of lightning and pierced Gui Wuqi's chest with one sword.

This sword caused too much damage to Gui Wuqi. All his internal organs were destroyed by the sword light, and his golden elixir was shaking constantly under the thundering sword energy. He could neither control the sword intent nor turn his magic power.

Gao Xian raised his hand and pointed, and an octagonal platinum star condensed by the White Tiger Heavenly Evil Sword intent shone out.

Gui Wuqi was filled with despair, he knew that he could never escape the mysterious sword energy and starlight.

The platinum starlight pierced into Gui Wuqi's forehead with a slight whistle, destroying his golden elixir, soul and all life force.

"He is Gao Xian... He uses the Astrological Sword..." As death approached, Gui Wuqi's mind became clear instead. He suddenly recognized the true identity of the man in white and the swordsmanship he used.

But it was all too late, Gui Wuqi's consciousness quickly fell into endless darkness.

Gao Xian flicked his long sleeves, and the Baidi Qiankun Transformation Sword took away the dead Gui Wuqi, and the others also disappeared at the same time.

The next moment, the sky was filled with wind and thunder, and a middle-aged man with blue hair and blue eyes appeared out of thin air. It was the leader of Tongtian Sword Sect, Fenglei Jianjun.

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master had just used his spiritual sense to observe from afar and saw a bright and powerful sword light that was sharp and murderous, but he could not see clearly who was controlling the sword light.

By the time he got here, the man had disappeared without a trace. Even if he roamed in all directions with his spiritual sense, he could not find any trace.

I can only sense the sword energy left by Gui Wuqi at the original place, and the deep and dark death energy when Gui Wuqi died...

Gui Wuqi, the man he had high hopes for, was killed by an outsider in his own home! The murderer even escaped without a trace!

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master was furious in his heart, but his two thousand years of cultivation allowed him to look calm as water.

"Who on earth is so bold? Who has such means? Could it be the Demon Sect's Yuanying Zhenjun?"

The Wind and Thunder Sword Master's mind raced as he thought of some of his enemies, but he just couldn't match them up.

After a short while, Xiao Hongye and other sect's golden elixirs had arrived.

Everyone was horrified when they saw the devastated battlefield and the gloomy face of Wind and Thunder Sword Master.

Without Fenglei Jianjun saying anything, they could all see that Gui Wuqi had been killed.

Xiao Hongye's face turned pale. Somehow, she suddenly remembered what Gao Xian said, that he would deal with Gui Wuqi when he had the chance...

She felt very uneasy. If it was Gao Xian, it would be bad! She thought about it again and felt that it was unlikely. Gao Xian should not be able to come to the sect to kill Gui Wuqi...
