Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 45 Breakthrough
With the consumption of life, a familiar but completely different feeling hit, Zhang Buyi once again fell into a state of epiphany.

The deep-level meditation effect of the fourth-level promotion of the Sapphire Algorithm Method is stronger than the previous effects of the Liushen Leg and the fifth-level medical way, and it seems to have more insights.

With the rapid operation of the exercises, Zhang Buyi's cultivation base also began to improve rapidly.But gradually, Zhang Buyi realized that this state was not enough.

[Do you want to spend two points of life to upgrade the Sapphire Algorithm to the fifth level? 】

"Yes!"

After another wave of consumption, Zhang Buyi, who was already in a special state, became a bit more mysterious, and his cultivation fluctuated more violently, for a moment.

[Cultivation base +1! 】

[Advanced Apprentice Lv8! 】

In an instant, Zhang Buyi felt that he had broken through some obstacle, and his aura began to rise.But Zhang Buyi didn't stop, seeing that he still had six points of life left, he started again.

[Do you want to spend two points of life to upgrade the sapphire arithmetic method to the sixth level? 】

"Yes!"

[Do you want to consume three life points to upgrade the sapphire arithmetic method to the seventh level? 】

"Yes!"

When the Sapphire Talisman reached the seventh level, the number of life requirements increased a little again, which made Zhang Buyi heave a sigh of relief.

"boom······"

At this time, Zhang Buyi no longer had the energy to think more, because with the improvement of the Sapphire Algorithm several times in a short period of time, Zhang Buyi fell deeper and deeper into a strange trance, and the aura around him became more and more mysterious.

During the circulation of countless breaths, one by one runes began to flash on Zhang Buyi's body automatically.

At this moment, he really relied on fate to artificially create a state of epiphany.

[Cultivation base +1! 】

[Advanced Apprentice Lv9! 】

[Enter the state of deep comprehension of talismans, touch the superficial talisman, you can study the talisman Taoism, the current objects that can be intensively studied are: evil spirit talisman, vitality talisman, lightness talisman, fire light talisman, good luck and avoidance talisman, Spring wind turns rain talisman, talisman array. 】

[Random enlightenment! 】

[Successful comprehension, access to the advanced talisman, the three major talismans, the divine movement talisman, the fireball talisman, and the mental arithmetic and whim talisman. 】

With the rapid operation of Zhang Buyi's skills, his aura rose, and the surrounding runes became more and more obvious, and finally turned into three illusory cards. As the cards flickered, they finally converged into a sapphire-like card.

As the card flickered, countless runes emerged from it, Zhang Buyi didn't seem to notice it, and the whole person fell into a deep comprehension.

······
At the same time, Qingyu looked out.

A middle-aged man in black clothes quietly sneaked into the courtyard.

He was looking around for something, but suddenly, a strange wave spread, causing the man who was investigating to pause.

"This is... someone is breaking through?"

The man sensed the direction, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the direction of the wave in Qingyu Temple.

He was quite fast, and the Qingyu Temple was not too big for him, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived at the destination.

"Is Taoist Master Zhengsong really breaking through? But how could this aura be the breakthrough of an intermediate apprentice? Even if the foundation of the immortal way is strong, it can't be so strong. This level of majesty is almost comparable to that of a first-rank monk taking office!"

The middle-aged man in black frowned, hesitated again, and finally jumped off the wall, and touched the window carefully.

He squatted on the ground very carefully, without showing his head, so the moonlight could not cast his shadow on the window.

Looking up at the window paper, he stretched out his hand and licked his fingers, drool a little, and poked at the window paper.

The movement was gentle and careful, without making a sound, he gently poked a hole in the window paper, then restrained his whole body breath, stood up and looked towards the room.

······
In the room, after the three talismans merged into a sapphire card, the aura pervading Zhang Buyi's body did not continue to deepen and rich, but slowly began to gather towards the sapphire card, showing signs of fading.

It seems that the card is absorbing this special opportunity to grow, making its sapphire material more transparent.

All this was not completely finished, suddenly, the sapphire card shook for a moment.

Zhang Buyi, who was deeply in samadhi, instantly opened his eyes, and because of the rapid operation of mana, a bright light seemed to flash in his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Zhang Buyi saw the black shadow on the window of his house, and his eyes collided with the eye on the window hole.

"Who!"

Zhang Buyi's eyes flickered with inspiration, and while he exclaimed, he instinctively raised his hand. On the sapphire card in front of him, the runes flowed and turned into a strange card that radiated fire.

As its aura flickered, a fireball the size of an egg rushed directly towards the window.

"Oops!"

The moment the middle-aged man in black made eye contact with Zhang Buyi, he felt that the other party was also a senior apprentice of the Ninth Level Realm like himself, and that the aura was obviously nearly twice as deep as his own, and his heart sank instantly.

It's just that before he had time to do anything, a fireball rushed towards him.

He kicked the wall with one foot, and at the same time retreated quickly, he only had time to draw out the knife at his waist, and slashed forward.

The fireball easily broke through the window and collided with the knife edge of the man in black.

"boom······"

At the moment of collision, the fireball expanded rapidly and exploded like a grenade. The black shadow man's whole body was agitated with spiritual power, and his whole body was blown up by the strong air current, and hit the courtyard wall fiercely, causing the mottled courtyard wall to shake. Many cracks appeared.

"bump······"

"Ok!"

There was a collision, and the man in black groaned a little. Before he could catch his breath, Zhang Buyi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, had rushed out of the broken window.

While a sapphire card was beating beside him, a strange light energy shot into Zhang Buyi's body.

Talisman: Divine Walk!
In an instant, Zhang Buyi's speed increased sharply, and his whole body turned into an afterimage, rushing towards the man in black.

The man in black, who had no time to think, only had time to raise his knife to block to the right.

"bump·····"

Zhang Buyi, who had turned into an afterimage, suddenly solidified, and kicked the opponent's knife with one leg.

The man in black who had just stood firm felt a huge force coming, and he hit the courtyard wall behind him again.

The originally dilapidated and mottled courtyard wall was no longer overwhelmed this time, and was completely smashed by the man in black.

The man half-kneeled and slid a long distance behind him. Before he could raise his breath, the hairs all over his body stood on end again.

"Look at the fist!"

I saw that Zhang Buyi had rushed to him again, and let out a roar.

The man raised his knife subconsciously to block, but when he saw Zhang Buyi's movements clearly, his entire face turned green.

Because Zhang Buyi didn't throw a punch at all, but a knee bump and rushed towards him three times.

Faced with such a change, he instinctively slapped his chest, a burst of spiritual light diffused, a strange wave of mana spread out, and the eggshell-like shield enveloped the man in black in the blink of an eye.

"bump!"

When the knee bump collided with the egg shell, there was a slight muffled sound first, and then there were little water ripples on the shield of the egg shell.The figures of the two stagnated for a moment at this moment.

"Wave!"

With a soft sound, the egg shell was directly smashed by Zhang Buyi's knee, and the huge impact force made the man in black quickly swipe backward again.

This time Zhang Buyi also failed to pursue in time, the huge force made him take half a step back.

Ignoring the numb right leg, Zhang Buyi rushed up again, and when the man in black had just stabilized his figure, he shouted again: "Look at the palm!"

The black-clothed man, who had experienced it once, did not accept the move in a daze this time. Instead, when Zhang Buyi seemed to raise his palm, he just made a movement, and it was the opponent's legs that really charged.

He immediately raised his leg, intending to kick Zhang Buyi.

But the moment his feet touched, he was taken aback.

It wasn't that the force was too strong, but it was too light. When the two feet touched, Zhang Buyi almost retreated as soon as he touched it, and even borrowed the strength of his kick to retreat.

Under such a collision, his strength was a little unbalanced when he threw out his legs with all his strength, but he was stabilized by the experienced him so that he would not stagger and fall down.

But before he could heave a sigh of relief, the sapphire card rune next to Zhang Buyi jumped again, and the flame flashed, and a fireball the size of an egg appeared in Zhang Buyi's palm, which was lifted by Zhang Buyi's seemingly swaying palm. Action sent out.

The man in black, who had already experienced the power of the fireball, turned pale with fright when faced with the oncoming fireball.There was no time to react too much, and he slashed out again.

"bump!"

Once again, the fireball collided with the knife edge, and the familiar explosion hit, blowing the man in black away again.

But this time the figure of the man in black couldn't stabilize anymore, but rolled and smashed out.

"call out!"

At the same time, a silver light flashed in Zhang Buyi's hand, and with a wave of his hand, a silver spear, like a shooting star, rushed towards the opponent's neck.

"Wait!" The man in black was terrified.

"Hey!" A third person's voice sounded from the roof at this time, and the other person seemed to be very surprised by the appearance of the scalpel.

"Ding!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Buyi felt that the scalpel he threw had hit the steel plate and failed to accomplish anything.

At the same time, the intense sense of crisis made Zhang Buyi's hairs stand on end, he decisively rolled to the left to dodge, and jumped into the air.

During this process, the scalpel turned into a streamer, flew back, and accurately landed on Zhang Buyi's toes.

Just like that, Zhang Buyi was surrounded by light and spiritual energy, and a silver knife was stepped on under his feet, floating in a corner of the courtyard like a sword.

The night wind was blowing slowly, with the amulet of magic on his body, surrounded by lightness and aura, and with a strange knife on his feet, like a flying fairy.

Zhang Buyi didn't feel so relaxed in his heart, but looked to the right with a serious face.

I saw in the yard, on the wall of the yard, there was an extra figure at some point. At this moment, the other party was looking at Zhang Buyi who was floating in the air with his foot on the 'Flying Sword' in surprise.

The look of surprise in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and he said hesitantly: "Sword cultivator?! Huo, it's really an ancient way. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet such a monk!"
