Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 228 Xiaoying and the Moon (4k words, ask for a monthly ticket!)

real world.

Headquarters of the Exorcism Division in Luojing City, the observatory.

When Gu Xu and others were conducting trials in the illusion of the "Warming Pot", Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, was sitting behind the low table, watching the picture in the bronze mirror.

His gaze was calm and unwavering.

Whether Gu Xu used a spell to wipe out the heads of the "Lord Yelang" effortlessly, or when the "Lord Yelang" quietly appeared on the stage surrounded by the army of ghosts, or Chu Fengge was trapped in the darkness of the "Lord Yelang". In the swamp, the expression on Luo Chuan's face did not change at all.

Until the moment when Gu Xu cast "Time".

Although the essence of "time" is to separate Gu Xu's own timeline from the original long river of time, so that it has a different flow rate—that is to say, "time" does not stop the time of the entire world, but speeds up Gu Xu's own speed.

What Luo Chuan saw was actually the same as what Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin saw, that is, Gu Xu's pupils suddenly turned a deep indigo blue; The law of darkness was broken by Gu Xu's "Firefly Flame" at an unimaginable speed.

These changes happened so fast that people couldn't react at all.

However, Luo Chuan can use this bronze mirror to slow down this video and play it in a loop over and over again.

In fact, when Gu Xu escaped from death in front of Kongxuan Sanren and passed the news to Luojing City, Luo Chuan already knew that Gu Xu had mastered a powerful magical power related to time.

Logically speaking, time is a very mysterious and unpredictable field that is very close to the essence of the Dao. Many saint-level powerhouses have spent their entire lives, but it is difficult to fully understand the mystery.

For a monk who has just entered the realm of "Naihe Bridge" to awaken the supernatural ability to control the flow of time is a very outrageous and unbelievable thing in itself.

However, Luo Chuan was not surprised by this, but took it as a matter of course.

But at this moment, when he saw the indigo color in Gu Xu's eyes, and the stars and the vast galaxy hidden in it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Take a breath.

On Luo Chuan's face, there were complex emotions—awe, respect, enthusiasm, and joy.

But these emotions only existed for a moment, then disappeared without a trace.

Luo Chuan is still the head of the Exorcist Department who has not changed his color before the Taishan collapse.

…………

The illusion in the pot, the Yamen of the Exorcism Department of Anshun Mansion.

Chu Fengge couldn't wait to start a fight.

Ever since he was successfully promoted to the fifth level, he was very eager to show his strength in front of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin, looking forward to seeing expressions of admiration or envy on their faces.

It's a pity that his "plan to appear in front of people" has been repeatedly hindered in various ways.

He wanted to kill the head of the "Luotoumin" with his true energy, but Gu Xu stole the limelight; he wanted to compete with the "Lord Yelang", but his actions were restricted by the other party's dark swamp.

At this moment, seeing Wu Qianhu, an opponent with the same realm as himself, he became excited.

As soon as Gu Xu opened his mouth, Chu Fengge strode forward, raised the iron sword in his hand, and blocked the fatal blow from Wu Qianhu for Gu Xu.

At the same time, he said loudly: "He Fang Xiaoxiao, how dare you kill someone in front of me, Chu?"

There was only a sound of "敪", and the two swords collided heavily.

The strong impact spread in all directions, smashing the ceramic flower pots placed outside the door of the duty room, overturning the chairs in the house, and alarming a group of sparrows resting on the roof.

At this moment, Chu Fengge felt that he was simply handsome.

He has always regarded Gu Xu as his lifelong enemy, and feels that he may take away his title of "the number one in the world in the future" anytime and anywhere.

However, at this moment, this "enemy of life" who made him dreaded so much, needed himself to help him out of danger.

"Hehe, it seems that Gu Xu himself admits that I am stronger than him," Chu Fengge thought happily, "otherwise, why would he ask me for help at this critical moment?"

Wu Ming, a thousand households in Anshun Mansion, looked gloomy.

He frowned, and glanced at Chu Fengge—of course, in the illusion in the pot, Chu Fengge at this time was Zhang Potian, the eighth-rank banner of the Exorcist Department.

He didn't expect that this person would have the same level of cultivation as himself.Even, in the head-to-head collision of real yuan just now, the opponent still had a slight advantage.

What the hell is going on here?
Wu Ming couldn't figure it out for a moment.

But Chu Fengge did not stop there.

Taking advantage of the moment Wu Ming frowned and thought, he once again drew his sword at lightning speed.

The body of his sword was suddenly entwined with brilliant starlight; and behind him, a phantom of a bright moon appeared.

Under the brilliance of the stars and the moon, Chu Fengge's figure was coated with a layer of silver, making his movements agile and swift.

The fourth form of "Cloud Sea and Galaxy Sword", "Tianxiao Yueyi", aims to defeat the opponent with extreme speed and explosive power in a short period of time.

This style was used by Chu Fengge when he was exchanging ideas with Gu Xu in "The Realm of Discussion of Dao".At that time, he was not proficient in this style, so Gu Xu seized the opportunity and instantly defeated him with the "Fen Tian Seven Styles".

No doubt the incident irritated him deeply.

So since then, Chu Fengge practiced "Sky Dawn and Moon Shift" day by day, becoming more proficient every day; in addition, after he was promoted to the fifth level, the power of the true essence in his body also doubled.

This type of "dawn of the sky and the shift of the moon" is obviously not the same as before.

In an instant, Chu Fengge's figure disappeared in place, and then appeared beside Wu Ming.

The iron sword in his hand was like a thunderbolt, stabbing fiercely at Wu Ming's neck.

All this happened in a flash.

Before Wu Ming could react, the cold edge of the sword was already close to his skin.

A ring in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling crimson light, illuminating the backyard of the yamen, making the entire courtyard look as if it was flooded with blood.

Cracks appeared on the ring, and then turned into countless fragments, scattered all over the place.

This ring is a magic weapon on Wu Ming's body. Its nature is similar to the "substitute bracelet" given to Gu Xu by Chief Luo before, and it can resist a fatal attack for him.

Wu Ming's breathing stopped for a moment, and he felt lingering fear.

Although this magic weapon is valuable, it was made by Wu Ming when he went to Luojing City for a few years, and he paid a lot of money for it to be made by a well-known master craftsman in the capital.

But now he no longer has the heart to pity this external thing.

He knew that if he didn't have this ring, facing Chu Fengge's thunderous sword, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Due to the great momentum of the battle between Chu Fengge and Wu Ming, all the officials on duty in the Exorcist Department's Yamen were alarmed, and they all came to the backyard to watch.

They were all shocked to see Wu Qianhu being cornered under the siege of his subordinates.

"Master Wu? What happened here?" They asked nervously, "Do you need our help?"

"Go away, don't come here," Wu Ming said in a very hasty voice with a livid face, "I can solve the things here myself."

"Wen Yannian" and his subordinates already knew his secret.

Wu Ming didn't want this secret to spread and be known by more people.

Otherwise, the end waiting for him is not only death, but also complete ruin.

Hearing Wu Qianhu's instructions, the officials present were a little puzzled.But they have been in the Exorcist Division for many years, and it has become their instinct to obey the orders of their superiors.

Even though they all felt that things here were not easy, they still chose to follow Wu Qianhu's instructions and prepared to leave the backyard and return to their respective posts.

However, at this time, Gu Xu suddenly said lightly: "You all stay."

His voice is not loud, and his expression is very peaceful, but there is an unquestionable majesty.

The footsteps of the officials in the Yamen couldn't help but stop, and they didn't know who to listen to for a while.

Today, "General Banner Wen" feels very strange to them.Intuition told them that if they disobeyed his orders, the end would be dire.

Shangguan Jin keenly captured the hesitation of the officials.

"Didn't you hear what he said?" There was a faint smile on her face, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Your Wu Qianhu seems to be a good official who cares about the country and the people, but in fact he There are some shady secrets in private... Aren't you all curious?"

While speaking, she released the powerful aura of a fourth-level monk, covering the entire courtyard.

Because the officials present basically only had the cultivation of the first and second realms, when they felt this breath, they couldn't help shivering and stood still, not daring to move.

At the same time, the battle between Chu Fengge and Wu Qianhu is still going on.

Anger was burning in Wu Ming's chest.

His expression has been distorted, his hair is scattered, his facial features are crowded together, his eyes are wide open like copper bells, and his chest is heaving violently.

Accompanied by his movements, the surrounding air seemed to heat up and smoke.

The actions of "Wen Yannian" and his subordinates have angered him.

He just wanted to put them to death at all costs.

So, he took a deep breath, raised his saber high, and gathered all the true energy in his body to the edge of the sword.Along with his actions, his face became paler and his body became weaker, as if he had a serious illness.

However, his saber seems to have a great weight, like a mountain suspended in the air.

At this moment, he has not yet drawn his sword.

But just seeing his movement of raising the sword, the surrounding officials felt that they had difficulty breathing, and their heartbeats stopped for a few seconds—it was as if tens of thousands of boulders were pressing on their hearts, trying to tear their internal organs. The six internal organs were all crushed into pieces.

"Sacrifice the sword".

This is a middle-grade martial art, and it is also the strongest sword move that Wu Ming has mastered so far.

He was born as a commoner, with no family background, no famous teacher, no opportunity, and naturally he had no way of learning powerful top-grade martial arts.

This "Sacrifice Sword" was exchanged from the treasury of the Exorcist Department's Yamen by virtue of the meritorious service he accumulated in killing ghosts for many years.

The essence of this sword technique, just like its name, needs to truly "sacrifice one's life and forget death" in order to exert its powerful power.

When a monk performs this sword technique, he must draw out all the true energy in his body and concentrate it all on the blade.

With all his might, he only slashed with one sword.

Do not leave the slightest retreat for yourself.

This sword can fully display the full potential of monks, and even help them defeat enemies stronger than themselves.

But after one strike, the cultivator's true essence will be overdrawn, and his body will become extremely weak, without the slightest fighting ability anymore.

Until then, either you will die or I will die.

Wu Ming has always regarded this sword technique as his life-saving trump card, and never used it until the critical moment.

But today, he was cornered.

He had to break the boat and fight hard.

When Wu Ming was accumulating energy, Chu Fengge's eyes also became alert.

Even though he was usually a careless person, at this time he could clearly feel that Wu Ming's sword was extremely terrifying and might pose a threat to him.

Besides, Wu Ming's weapon is his natal sword; Chu Fengge's weapon is just an ordinary iron sword without any extraordinary attributes.

Just now he was able to gain a slight advantage in the swordsmanship duel because he practiced the top-grade kung fu "Lie Xing Jue" and used the top-grade martial art "Cloud Sea Galaxy Sword".

But now, he was not sure that he could stop Wu Ming's sword that would give him life and death.

But Chu Fengge knew that he must not show timidity in such a situation—especially not in front of the "enemy of life" Gu Xu.No matter how terrifying Wu Ming's sword was, he had to bear it down.

So, he swung his iron sword, trying to block the opponent's attack.

Sparse silver stars flickered on the edge of his blade.

At the same time as he swung his sword, there was not only the sound of "whoosh" wind, but also the faint sound of bells and drums, and the clear and melodious cry of orioles.

The stars are sparse, the bells and drums are resting, and the moon is waning outside the curtain.

This is the fifth form of "Sword of Clouds and Stars", "Xiaoying and Moon".

It does not have the majestic momentum of the second form "Falling to the Nine Heavens", nor does it have the ranged defense ability of the third form "Tianhe Night Turn".

Its sword intent is just like its name, gentle and graceful, seemingly without any deterrent effect.

But it can be ranked in the fifth position, which obviously proves that it is stronger and more subtle than the previous ones.

So far, Chu Fengge has only learned this style initially, and has not fully comprehended its true meaning.But in order to avoid being underestimated by Gu Xu, he had to bite the bullet and make a move, and he must not lose in terms of momentum.

Soon, the sword intents of the two were about to collide.

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The moment Chu Fengge drew his sword, he had already noticed that Chu Fengge's style of "Xiao Ying Wan Yue" had appearances but no charm.

That warbler's cry should have been born with the breeze, it was natural and without a formula.

But the crowing that Gu Xu heard was like the ventriloquist of an entertainer, pretentious and stiff.

"With this move, he will never be able to stop Wu Ming." Gu Xu judged secretly in his heart.
