Chapter 1079 - 290: Twin Sword Dance Before the Bone Array, Two Hearts Linked atop Kunlun (Part 3)

"What is the righteous path?" Shi Feiyang’s hand lifted lightly, the palm wind like a knife pointed straight to the sky, the ice-blue True Qi suddenly surged three zhang, "It’s the Profound Ice of Kunlun, the blade edge of Xiongying, and more so, the mighty spirit of this world that cannot be desecrated!" Then, he continuously drew streaks of ice light with his palms, each precisely stabbing the major acupoints around the Sect Leader’s body, "And you, are nothing but a rat in the gutter!"

As the fierce battle reached eighty moves, the Sect Leader’s figure appeared unstable, like a flickering candle in the wind, while Shi Feiyang fought more and more bravely.

"Do you feel it?" Shi Feiyang’s palm edge trembled slightly, the qi of the blade lifted a lock of the Sect Leader’s white hair, "Your power is merging into my meridians along with the blade qi. This is the fate of those who play with fire!"

Xue Li witnessed this scene not far away, shocked in her heart. She had never seen such a terrifying side of Shi Feiyang, at this moment he seemed no longer the gentle husband, but the master of purgatory controlling life and death.

However, Xue Li also deeply understood that all of this was to protect Jianghu, to safeguard their shared belief.

With Shi Feiyang’s final angry roar, the True Qi vortex transformed into a colossal ice-blue light pillar shooting straight into the clouds.

Within the light pillar, the phantoms of the eighteen layers of purgatory vaguely appeared, with countless evil spirits wailing and struggling in it.

"Impossible... the empire I painstakingly built..." a trace of fear flashed in the Sect Leader’s eyes, he muttered, his consciousness gradually blurred, seeming unable to clearly express himself.

Shi Feiyang merged the absorbed power with his own cultivation, the palm edge emitted a dazzling blue light, admonishing, "This cut will send you to the eighteenth layer of hell! Remember—this Jianghu will always belong to the righteous!"

"No! I am unwilling..." the Sect Leader howled in despair, but his voice was cut off by the blade qi.

Shi Feiyang’s palms released an unstoppable blade qi, penetrating the opponent’s chest, with black pus gushing from the wound.

The White Bone Sect Leader let out a miserable scream within the light pillar, his body began to disintegrate from the limbs, transforming into countless fragments of white bone.

Each piece of bone, before dissipating, emitted a mournful wail of unwillingness.

At the moment the White Bone Sect Leader turned to fragments, Shi Feiyang coldly said, "If there is a next life, do not commit evil again." After the light pillar dissipated, only a patch of charred land and scattered white bones remained.

Shi Feiyang slowly retracted his cultivation technique, the chill around him gradually dissipating, but the air still carried an oppressive aura that discouraged any reckless actions. This was the power of the tenth level of the Bright Jade Technique, "Infinite Asura’s Human Purgatory"—it was not only a martial art but also a heavenly judgment on evil.

Xue Li flew over lightly, falling into Shi Feiyang’s embrace, her voice trembling with the aftermath of tribulation: "I know, as long as you are here, we can overcome anything."

The Jade Void Map in the distance emitted a soft glow, enveloping the couple, in the backdrop of a sky of blood rain and fragments of white bones, appearing as a warm color amidst purgatory.

Xue Li’s eyes were filled with the joy and deep affection of surviving a disaster, she spoke weakly: "Husband, thank you..." Shi Feiyang looked at her with gentle eyes, softly wiping the blood from her face, responding: "No need to thank, we created a miracle together."

After undergoing a trial of life and death, Shi Feiyang and Xue Li gazed at the Jade Void Map in their hands, which still emitted a mysterious light despite being damaged, filled with perplexity. This Jade Void Map helped them severely wound the Demon God and repel the White Bone Sect; its buried secrets obviously went far beyond that. Shi Feiyang gently stroked the mottled patterns on the map, noticing that although the golden light seemed dim, it still emitted a faint glow, seemingly hinting at some guidance.

"Xue Li, observe this light point, since we practiced the ’Kunlun Heart Inquiry Technique’, it has changed." Shi Feiyang pointed to the light point, continuing, "Perhaps, this is the new clue the Jade Void Map is unveiling to us."

Xue Li leaned in to observe closely, discovering that the runes around the light point seemed to come alive, slowly flowing, sketching a rough outline of a map. "This... seems to depict a certain area deep within the Kunlun Mountain Range." Xue Li slightly furrowed her brow, "Could there still be secrets unknown hidden there?"

The two decided to follow this clue for exploration.

After days of arduous trekking in the Kunlun Mountain Range, they finally arrived at a snow-covered valley.

The cold wind in the valley was bitter, as if countless resentful spirits were howling.

Xue Li suddenly pointed to the valley wall, shouting in astonishment, "Husband, look!" On the valley wall were carvings similar to those on the Jade Void Map, as they approached, the runes began to emit a ghostly blue light, resonating with the Jade Void Map.

Shi Feiyang used the Bright Jade Technique, injecting True Qi into the Jade Void Map.

In an instant, the Jade Void Map radiated beams of light, a beam shot towards the depths of the valley wall.

The two followed the light beam, eventually arriving at a concealed cave entrance. The stone door of the cave was tightly closed, carved with a giant Eight Trigrams pattern: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, each gua exuding an ancient aura.

Xue Li’s heart was shocked, realizing that these Eight Trigrams were related to the records in the ancient texts of the Kunlun Sect.

She had heard her master mention that in ancient times, Kunlun Mountain had a peculiar array, its foundation being the Eight Trigrams, said to be able to connect the forces of heaven and earth.

Shi Feiyang stared at the Jade Void Map, noticing the light point corresponded with the Qian gua on the stone door.

He understood tacitly, promptly raising his palm, targeting the Qian gua to inject True Qi.

The stone door began to tremble slowly, emitting a low sound. With a "creak", the stone door opened a crack, an ancient aura mixed with mysterious power rushed towards them.
