Chapter 392: 391. Sweeping Away大同, Civility is Lost! (Part 3)

But in the next instant, everything had changed.
The ancestral land collapsed, the ancestral hall crumbled, and the literary and cultural aura that had once connected heaven and earth came to an abrupt halt, scattering and falling away.
Fang Xing, upon whom the Fang Clan had pinned their hopes and who had finally revealed his strength, had just displayed his cultivation as a Ninth Heaven 'Balancing the World' Grand Scholar of the Divine Shooter lineage. But he was killed by a sword that came from beyond his range, striking suddenly from the heavens.
In this instant, the rest of the Fang Clan members felt as if the world had become unreal and illusory.
Tang Xiaotang, hovering above, did not seem surprised by this turn of events. She merely raised her eyebrows, witnessing Fang Xing's death.
At the same time, her actions were faster than anyone else present. Her Great Vehicle Dao Scene unfolded once more, and boundless golden light enveloped the entire Cool Breeze Plain, swallowing everyone present who had lost the protection of the ancestral land's restrictions.
Fang Xi, with the Nine Provinces Brush in hand, was relatively unaffected by the destruction of the ancestral land.
However, his attempt to aid Fang Xing had been in vain, and he had wasted precious time. Now, he didn't have enough time to deploy his 'Country and World' art to make up for the loss.
On the other side, Lin Zheng's face was pale. The old injury inflicted by Tang Xiaotang was acting up, and his movements were half a beat slower.
Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Law Domain finally took him in.
Fang Xi was shocked by the distant flying sword, but at this moment, he could only calm his mind and join Lin Zheng in facing Tang Xiaotang first.
Although Tang Xiaotang's Great Vehicle Dao Scene was strong, taking in so many people at once made her situation unstable.
However, Tang Xiaotang was unconcerned. Instead, a smile appeared on her face, and she waved her hand.
The three-foot-long sword that had just killed Fang Xing flew into her hand, surrounded by purple electricity.
The Heavenly Master Seal and the Heavenly Master Robe resonated with the sword, and their spiritual power intermingled.
"As expected, I still prefer the Heavenly Master Sword," Tang Xiaotang said with a long laugh. She waved the sword in her hand, and the purple and golden sword light intertwined like dragons and thunder, slashing down with a force that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and rupturing the earth.
On the other side, from the direction where the sword light had come, Lei Jun arrived, floating gently.
The Yin-Yang Twin Fire Tigers supported him, quickly restoring the spiritual power he had consumed due to the two consecutive long-range flying sword attacks.
The consumption was naturally smaller than the three swords he had used to destroy the Su Clan's ancestral land, so his recovery was faster.
On one hand, Lin Zheng and Fang Xi, both practitioners of the 'Changes', could move freely and were difficult to kill directly like Su Guang and Four-Eyed Python Emperor had been.
On the other hand, it was because of the Boundless Sea Sword.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator of the Two Yin-Yang Heavenly Origin Law Code wielded this sword as a Yuan Magnet Flying Sword, its fundamental material could withstand the strain.
But the main benefit of this sword was not in direct attacks like the North Pole Sword, Purple-Green Twin Swords, or the World-Binding Blade.
And it hadn't been tempered by the Nine Heavens Thunder like the Heavenly Master Sword.
Therefore, after a long period of massive spiritual power accumulation and a super long-distance attack, the massive Yuan Magnet power had a negative impact on the Boundless Sea Sword. It needed to be nurtured and repaired and perhaps even reforged later to meet Lei Jun's requirements for such usage.
Fortunately, for now, two swords were enough.
The North Pole Sword had destroyed the ancestral land of the Great Unity Fang Clan, and the Heavenly Master Sword had killed Fang Xing, the Ninth Heaven 'Balancing the World' Grand Scholar.
Lin Zheng and Fang Xi and the others resisted Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Law Domain's capture.
The delay gave Lei Jun enough time to arrive and restore his consumed spiritual power.
Just before the Pure Yang Law Domain closed, Lei Jun entered.
With the North Pole Sword and the Heavenly Master Sword, Lei Jun now had one sword in hand, just like Tang Xiaotang.
As soon as he entered the Pure Yang Law Domain, Lei Jun saw boundless pure golden thunderfire raging from all directions, surrounding Lin Zheng and the Fang Clan members.
Apart from Lin Zheng and Fang Xi, the rest of the Fang Clan members were already in a bad state due to the destruction of their ancestral land. Now, facing the domineering sea of pure yang energy within the Law Domain, they couldn't withstand it and perished in droves.
Around Lin Zheng's body, the literary and cultural aura turned into a forest of sword auras. The sword auras were extremely cold, turning into a blizzard that helped him block the thunderfire from all directions.
Fang Xi, on the other hand, unfolded a book scroll with a literary and cultural aura. Treasure light condensed into a shadow of mountains and rivers, protecting him and blocking the thunderfire.

Tang Xiaotang, with the three treasures of the Celestial Master, wielded her sword with unmatched prowess. In a short span, Lin Zheng and Fang Xi, despite possessing the Broad莫 Sword and the Jiuzhou Pen, were pressured to focus on their own defense.
Lei Jun waved his hand, and the North Pole Sword returned to him.
He strode forward, his sword aimed at Lin Zheng, the master of the Great Unity Lin Clan.
Lin Zheng dodged the sword light from Tang Xiaotang and swung his own sword at Lei Jun.
Lei Jun unfolded the Two Instruments Heavenly Origin Law, concentrating the power of the primal magnet on Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng felt his Broadmo Sword tremble in his grasp, suddenly unable to wield it with ease.
If not for the warning from "Change", he would have narrowly escaped being slashed by Tang Xiaotang's pursuing sword.
After this evasive maneuver, Lin Zheng not only failed to stabilize the Broadmo Sword but also felt the trembling in his sword intensify.
This pinnacle-level Grand Scholar of the Nine Heavens took a deep breath to stabilize his injuries while exhaling to recite:
"A gentleman makes good use of everything, like using fingers as an extension of the arm."
Beneath the subtle words lay a profound meaning, and he successfully stabilized the Broadmo Sword.
At the same time, Fang Xi shouted: "Rise!"
As a Grand Scholar of the Nine Heavens at the fourth layer, Fang Xi, like Lin Zheng, cultivated the "Ritual". He was also able to swiftly perform a ritual formation by himself in a short span of time.
Thus, amidst the chaotic battle, Fang Xi moved and successfully performed the Military Ritual.
On the other hand, Lin Zheng, without uttering another word, performed the Auspicious Ritual, the foremost of the Five Rituals.
The Auspicious and Military Rituals combined their powers, offering sacrifices to the gods above and the people below.
A surge of military might rose, carving out a blank space within the Pure Yang Realm's Pure Yang Ocean.
The literary aura, at this moment, rarely displayed its sharp and imposing aspect, resembling an emperor leading his troops on a campaign, about to break through Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Realm.
Due to the immense power consumption and Lei Jun's presence within the realm, Tang Xiaotang did not transform the Pure Yang Ocean into the Primal Chaos Ocean this time.
However, as the golden lightning was separated, a massive Pure Yang Vessel emerged from within.
Tang Xiaotang, empowered by the three treasures of the Celestial Master, stood at the bow of the vessel, unflinchingly facing the ritual formation co-cast by the two Grand Scholars of the Peaceful Heaven, Lin Zheng and Fang Xi.
The fierce and scorching lightning clashed with the vast military might, neither yielding to the other.
Lei Jun, at this moment, manifested the Dou Mu Star God's law body, and with the augmentation of the Star-Circling Heaven Law and the Revolving Stars Law, his speed was already unbelievably fast.
With the additional boost from the Yin-Yang Dual Thunder Dragons, his speed abruptly soared, as if he were continuously shifting positions in different directions, assaulting Lin Zheng and Fang Xi simultaneously.
Lin Zheng and Fang Xi were both startled.
This Taoist, dressed in the attire of the Grand Master of the Great Tang's Dragon and Tiger Mountain, moved with such agility that he even surpassed the tall female crown.
If the speed of the female crown could be said to be almost comparable to a Martial Saint of the same realm, then the speed of this tall Taoist, the strength of his physical body, and the might of his vital art far exceeded that of many Martial Saints!
What was wrong with these Taoists of the Great Tang's Master's Mansion?!
Having witnessed the speed of Tang Xiaotang, Lin Zheng and Fang Xi were already on guard.
However, in their opinion, it was already remarkable for the Great Tang's Dragon and Tiger Mountain to produce such an exceptional talent.
Even with more caution, at most, they would only anticipate another person of similar caliber.
But for Lei Jun to be even faster than Tang Xiaotang, it truly left the two Grand Scholars nearly speechless with frustration.
A slight lapse in concentration, and Lei Jun would be upon them. Despite their cultivation in "Change", which granted them a certain degree of foresight and precognition, their reactions could not keep up with the proximity of the warning and their judgment.
The higher-realm Lin Zheng, through the power of subtle words and profound meanings, barely managed to hold his ground.
Fang Xi, on the other hand, could not evade and had to rely on the protective power of the River Mountains and Rivers Scroll to withstand the assault.
Lei Jun's fist plunged into the landscape of rivers and mountains manifested by the radiant light of the River Mountains and Rivers Scroll, wreaking mountains and breaking rivers.
However, at the same time, a seven-colored radiance abruptly flashed from his glabella.
The combined might of the Yin-Yang Dual Thunder Dragons augmented upon himself, intense and fierce, instantly condensed into a slender ray of Yin-Yang Divine Aurora, shooting out from Lei Jun's glabella.
This seemingly slender ray of light carried the might to split the heavens and crack the earth, directly striking Fang Xi's River Mountains and Rivers Scroll.
Thus, a tiny black hole instantly appeared on the radiant scroll where literary aura flowed.
The black hole expanded at an uncontrollable rate, spreading to its surroundings, accompanied by the ignition of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the treasure second only to the Jiuzhou Pen of the Great Unity Fang Clan was destroyed and then incinerated.
Fang Xi hastily dodged, unable to maintain the Military Ritual any longer.
On the other side, Lin Zheng struggled alone, and Tang Xiaotang, stepping on the Pure Yang Vessel, aggressively pressed on.
Lei Jun intended to pursue Fang Xi, but Fang Xi, with a grim face, remained calm.
He drew a stroke with the Jiuzhou Pen.
His moving speed abruptly increased, far surpassing his previous pace.
This technique was known as the "Travel through the Nine Provinces".
Although Grand Scholars shared the same cultivation, there were still many differences in the inherited secret arts among the prestigious families.
The Lin Clan of You Province excelled in physical bodies and flesh, while the Fang Clan of Jing Xiang was most skilled in movement and evasive arts.
The "Travel through the Nine Provinces" was the pinnacle among their secret movement arts.
Back then, the contemporary clan head of the Great Tang's Jing Xiang Fang Clan, Fang Jing Sheng, due to his insufficient cultivation realm, had yet to cultivate this art.
On the other hand, Fang Xi, the clan head of the Great Unity Fang Clan, with his Nine Heavens fourth layer cultivation, aided by the Jiuzhou Pen, had managed to recreate the "Travel through the Nine Provinces" today.
With his extremely fast movement, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang found it more challenging to capture his figure compared to before.
However, under such circumstances, Fang Xi could no longer set up the ritual formations.
Lei Jun had no intention to compete with Fang Xi in terms of movement techniques.
Different lightning forces stirred around him, and he said, "Little Martial Sister."
Tang Xiaotang's gaze swept over, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
On the Pure Yang Vessel, the Fire Law of the Earthly Scripture, the Divine Yang Scripture, and the Heavenly Brilliance Yang Scripture successively appeared.
The green-eyed tiger of yin fire and the golden pure yang thunder dragon and pure yang fire tiger roared simultaneously.
At this moment, five great divine laws manifested around Lei Jun.
From the Thunder Law of the Heavenly Script, a purple pure yang thunder dragon emerged.
From the Fire Law of the Earthly Scripture, a green-eyed tiger of yin fire appeared.
From the Mysterious Five Thunder Law, a black-eyed thunder dragon of yin thunder emerged.
From the True Yang Central Law, a red-gold true yang fire tiger emerged.
And lastly, from the silver-colored profound law, a silver thunder dragon emerged, peaceful and calm, yet containing boundless mighty power.

This art is called the Ling Xiao Pure Yin Fa Lu.
Endowed with the innate Pure Yin Lei Zu Fa Xiang.
It can also be called the Pure Yin Lei Long.
It is Lei Jun's culmination of his journey to the Ninth Heaven realm, where he cultivated Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Lei Long and fused it with his own Two Extremities Immortal Body, finally comprehending this art.
And so, Lei Jun combined his Pure Yin Lei Long with Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Huo Hu, manifesting a golden and silver intersecting Tai Chi diagram.
Pure Yang Pure Yin Dragon-Tiger Strike.
In an instant, four Tai Chi diagrams of gold and green, purple and green, black and red, and gold and silver hung high within Tang Xiaotang's Pure Yang Fa Realm, guarding the four directions.
Dragon and tiger intersect.
Yin and yang harmonize.
The vast and profound brilliant light did not disperse independently, but instead, merged as one.
Thus, the radiance spread in all four directions.
Whether it was Lin Zheng, who was entrenched in an icy snowland, or Fang Xi, who seemed to be everywhere with his divine travel across the Nine Provinces, at this moment, they were both enveloped by the Dragon-Tiger Strike of Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang's combined might.
The two great sect masters felt absurd at this turn of events.
They had never personally encountered Daoist cultivators from the Da Tang Long Hu Mountain's Tian Shi Fu lineage.
But could the Daoist priests from Tian Shi Fu of Da Tang be so different from the ancient records?!
Fang Xi's divine travel across the Nine Provinces was instantly broken, and his physical form reappeared.
His entire being began to show signs of being scorched by Lei fire.
Fang Xi wielded his brush with sweeping strokes, and the Nine Provinces Brush continuously derived a large amount of ink to envelop himself, barely managing to withstand the brilliant light.
But at that moment, Tang Xiaotang flew towards him, and with a slash of the Tian Shi Sword, the already overburdened Nine Provinces Brush was instantly severed!
Lin Zheng, who was also enduring the coverage of the four Dragon-Tiger Strikes, felt his strength waning.
He shouted sternly, "A petty man's comparison is inadequate, and the task is difficult to accomplish!"
This was a subtle hint directed at Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang's combined display of the Dragon-Tiger Strike.
With a clever insight, although he couldn't completely break through the four Tai Chi diagrams, except for the black and red Tai Chi diagram that was entirely composed of Lei Jun's spiritual power, the remaining three diagrams trembled and slowed down in mid-air.
But before Lin Zheng could catch a breath, just as he was hurriedly using the "Book" to replenish the large amount of Wen Hua Cai Qi depleted by the "Spring and Autumn," he suddenly felt as if something had entered his mind.
A thick bamboo pole divided into nine sections, glowing with purple-gold radiance?
"Pa!"
The seemingly illusory and seemingly real nine-section bamboo pole abruptly intruded into Lin Zheng's sea of consciousness, delivering a powerful strike to his soul!
Despite Lin Zheng's status as a Ninth Heaven perfect stage scholar of the Great Unity Lin Clan, this strike caused his soul to crack, and he nearly fainted on the spot from the dizziness and pain.
After the strike, the nine-section bamboo pole disappeared from Lin Zheng's sea of consciousness.
When it reappeared, it had returned to Lei Jun's side, its radiance dimmed and restrained, once again taking on a physical form.
It was Lei Jun's Upper Clarity Yu Chen Immortal Bamboo.
After being refined together with the Xuan An Mysterious Dust and the Nine Firmaments Heart Thunder, this treasure could now, under Lei Jun's control, transform from substance to void, directly attacking an enemy's soul like a powerful soul technique. Today's strike proved its worth, striking the master of the Great Unity Lin Clan, Lin Zheng, so hard that he was dazed for a long time afterward.
At the same time, Tang Xiaotang had blasted the master of the Great Unity Fang Clan, Fang Xi, out of his hiding place.
In the literal sense of the word, she had blasted him.
The Tai Chu肇 Yuan Fa Lu reappeared.
With the肇 Yuan Pearl taking the lead, it directly exploded the body and soul of Fang Xi, a fourth-layer Ninth Heaven scholar!
Fang Xi was also a man of firm will, and at the moment of his impending death, he mustered all his remaining courage to counter-attack Tang Xiaotang.
The principles and intents of the Nine Provinces Interconnection converged with his final burst of Wen Hua Cai Qi, and in that instant, they underwent a drastic reversal.
In the fleeting moment between life and death, Fang Xi forcibly reversed the Nine Provinces Interconnection into Nine Provinces No Escape, counter-attacking Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang remained unfazed, and as the Three Clarities Nine Lights circulated within her Tian Shi Robe, they merged with the radiance of the Tian Shi Seal, forming a three-layered altar of Fa that enveloped her.
On the surface of the altar, the Five-Colored Clouds and strands of invisible and colorless Tai Chu Qi intertwined and flowed, forming a sturdy defense, rendering Fang Xi's last-ditch effort futile.
On the other side, Lin Zheng, with his soul injured, was almost unconscious.
Fortunately, his sword was spiritual, and the Guang Mo Sword stirred up his remaining Wen Hua Cai Qi, causing the Snow Country Ice Heaven to reappear in a localized area, protecting him from the Lei fire within the Pure Yang Fa Realm and also blocking Lei Jun, who was taking advantage of the situation to press forward.
Lei Jun treated it as if it didn't exist and continued to advance.
The Tai Qing Eight Scenes Treasure Cape appeared on his body.
The mist and rain that enveloped him were instantly frozen by the cold air of the Snow Country Ice Heaven.
However, Lei Jun himself was unharmed.
The Two Extremities Tian Yuan Fa Lu reappeared, causing the Guang Mo Sword to tremble once more.
The ice and snow, affected by this, began to melt again.
Stimulated by the cold intent of the ice and snow, Lin Zheng's mind cleared, but at this moment, his soul was injured, and his head felt like it was splitting, making it difficult for him to display the "Spring and Autumn" subtle hints ability.
He took a deep breath and decided to go all out, stirring up all his remaining Wen Hua Hao Ran Qi and throwing out his Guang Mo Sword!
Lin Zheng voluntarily released his Guang Mo Sword, taking advantage of the moment when Tang Xiaotang was defending against Fang Xi's final strike of Nine Provinces No Escape. The icy blue sword light rushed upwards, with the might to divide the sea, and fiercely tore open the Pure Yang Sea.
The long sword seemed to be nailed to the invisible domain, and the icy blue quickly spread in all four directions, freezing the intangible domain.
The shattering of the ice crystals also caused the Pure Yang Fa Realm to show a few cracks.
In this moment, Lin Zheng finally saw the light of day again.
He leaped into the air, and even as he was hit by a punch from Lei Jun, spraying blood, he still desperately fled for his life, trying to escape through the cracks in the Pure Yang Fa Realm.
Tang Xiaotang's Great Vehicle Dao Scene was damaged, and she let out a muffled hum.
But even so, Lin Zheng still couldn't get away.
In front of him, a three-colored glow suddenly appeared, transforming into Fa Lu, sealing the cracks in the Pure Yang Fa Realm.
From within, a dam that blocked off the Nine Provinces, making it impossible to ascend to the heavens or enter the earth, appeared. The principles and intents were clearly in line with the Nine Provinces No Escape that Fang Xi had displayed earlier. The authentic and decisive Wen Hua Hao Ran Qi gathered in the four directions, solid as iron and stone.
Blocked by Tang Xiaotang's Three Lights Smoke霞 and the reappearance of the Nine Provinces No Escape, Lin Zheng's figure froze in mid-air, and despair finally arose in his heart.
With the blessing of the "Changes," Lin Zheng barely managed to move, evading Tang Xiaotang's subsequent sword light, "Such domineering Daoists, the Da Tang Lin Clan may have grudges against you, but you also want to annihilate my Great Unity Lin Clan!"
"Yes, I am not a kind person."
As Lei Jun spoke, another sword light struck the unavoidable Lin Zheng.
Amidst the buzzing sound, the massive Bei Ji Sword cleaved through the air.
By the time Lin Zheng could make out the shape of the seven-foot-long giant sword, it had already pierced through his chest, tearing a huge wound!
The savage Lei fire raged within the gaping wound, and in the blink of an eye, this Ninth Heaven perfect stage scholar, who had once aspired to bring peace to the world, was slain.
Today, all the top scholars and aristocratic families within the Great Unity had fallen.
