Tao and Heaven

Chapter 149 Killing Demons
A fallen leaf was blown up.

The tiger leader was dying, looking up at the black-haired young man in plain clothes. His tiger skin twitched, his Adam's apple rolled, and he let out big gasps of air, mixed with low breaths that made it difficult to breathe because his lungs were flattened.

There was a look of pleading for mercy in his eyes more than once, but the man in front of him was colder than the sword in his hand.

He just went out to look for his subordinates. Just as he walked out of the town, he saw a man and a woman walking towards him openly. When they saw him, they didn't shout or show any fear.

The tiger leader was careful and thoughtful. He did not provoke the two of them and guessed that they might be some genius of the human race.

However, the man among them actually drew his sword and attacked. There was almost no communication between them. He even retreated without revealing his figure.

The only interaction was probably that the man took a look at the empty town and the bloodstains on the ground, and then slashed with his sword without hesitation.

The tiger leader tried to resist, but the arm holding the weapon was instantly broken. He tried to run, but his right leg was cut off by the sword light.

It could sense that the other party's foundation in Taoism was only at the fifth level, and even if he had reached the fourth level of perfection, it would not be much higher than its own.

But the man only needed to draw his sword and swing it, and wherever the sword light went, all other means would be rendered useless.

Everything happened so fast that it didn't even have time to think.

Why did this person attack me, and why was he so strong?

Glancing at the handsome man and the sheep guardian outside the ruins, the fear in the tiger leader's heart slowly eased.

With Your Highness here, everything is fine.

The beard on the Sheep Protector's face grew wildly, and for a moment it seemed to have life and swayed in a disorderly manner, revealing his advanced skills.

There are eight levels of Tao foundation and four levels of perfection, totaling twelve levels.

"How dare you hurt my fox clan's guards!"

Hu Yuan raised his hand slightly, stopped the guardian with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "My fellow Taoist, you and I have no grudges. If you have any conflicts, why don't you sit down and talk about it? Did our guardian provoke you, or is there some other reason?"

"If it is for the sake of the people of this town, please forgive us. We are helpless. The country folk do not know the rules and offended us first. We are willing to compensate you, please put down your weapons and discuss it properly."

Half of the people in the town fled, and the other half were eaten by them.

But if there is any offense, it might be that some young and middle-aged people took up arms to resist in order to protect their families.

For Hu Yuan, who is of noble status, anyone who dares to attack him deserves death. But he also knows that this rule belongs to the fox demons and the Qingqiu Cave Heaven, and cannot be used to restrict the human race outside the world.

What's more, this is a place for becoming immortals, and the cultivators you meet are basically the geniuses of the human race.

After lying dormant for a thousand years, Hu Yuan did not have the same problems as other royal families in the past. He knew very well that many conflicts could be avoided as long as he exerted deterrence and then took a step back.

Even if it was a fight between humans and demons, when it came down to specific individuals, they could still cooperate in a roundabout way. Hu Yuan had cooperated with a human Tianzun not long ago, and it was he who facilitated the crossover of the demon Tianjiao this time.

It is better to spend money to avoid disaster at this time.

puff!
A tiger head flew up and landed in front of Hu Yuan.

Gu Wen turned his head and looked down at the two demons from above. He said calmly, "I am not from here and have never met the people in this town. I don't know their last names, let alone how many people they have."

"But it doesn't stop me from killing him, and it doesn't stop me from killing you."

Behind them, thousands of spiritual swords rose from the ground, and Chiyuzi stepped on the sword river to block the area within a radius of ten miles.

Being attacked from both sides, the atmosphere was filled with murderous intent.

It's them? !

Hu Yuan took a deep breath, his mind shaken. He already knew the origins of these two people.

They are at the center of today's catastrophe and intend to revive the great demon Qingcang, but shouldn't they be hiding?

It doesn't matter. With the evidence here, he shouldn't dare to act rashly. He only needs to intimidate them a little. He and the others know that they can't easily deal with him, so they should leave.

"Fellow Daoist, they should be from the Three Pure Ones Sect. If we attack you now, I'm afraid it will not do you any good. How about you let us go, and I will take care of the things here."

Zheng!
Thousands of sword lights lit up behind him, Akabane's eyes were cold, and he drove the spirit sword with murderous intent.

The Sheep Protector was well prepared. His body suddenly expanded to eight meters, and his clothes exploded. His original human appearance turned into a monster with a sheep's head and a demon body.

The cultivation method of the demon clan is similar to that of the Demon Sect's God Blood Sect, both of which are to obtain extraordinary power by tempering blood or visualizing the innate gods and demons. However, compared with the Demon Sect's God Blood Sect, the demon clan has a unique advantage, that is, they can pass on the condensed innate blood of gods and demons.

A demon saint or even a demon immortal who has condensed innate divine blood, their offspring born through special means also possess divine blood, and can be passed down.

Hu Yuan’s ancestor was a demon fairy, and Yang Hufa’s ancestor was a demon saint, so the former is more noble.

The hair on the sheep demon's body turned into steel needles that shot up into the sky. Then in an instant, it was swept by endless spiritual swords and crashed into the house on the right. The main beams collapsed one after another, countless bricks, stones and tiles were broken, and dust flew all over the sky.

"Little kid, don't underestimate me!"

The Sheep Guardian Dharma Image reappeared, and with the blessing of the original huge demon body, the Dharma Image reached a size of thirty feet. The Dharma Image, like a small mountain, supported thousands of spirit swords, and clenched his fists to blast out spirit swords that exploded in mid-air.

He took another step forward, and his thirty-foot-tall body was ten meters off the ground at this moment, and he reached out to grab Akabaneko.

The latter stood still, his hands forming sword gestures, his orange-red eyes gleaming with intelligence.

"Congeal!"

The scattered spiritual swords condensed again and turned into a giant sword that fell from the sky.

The Sheep Protector was pressed to the ground with a bang, and then knelt on one knee under the pressure of the giant sword.

Boom!

The whole area within a hundred miles was shocked.

Hu Yuan looked solemn.

The Sheep Guardian has the strength of the twelfth level, and Chiyuzi's six-sixth Dao base is also the twelfth level. Logically speaking, with thousands of years of accumulation, he should be stronger than Chiyuzi, but now, let alone a tie, he has already lost the upper hand.

It is said that this genius also knows the Golden Light Curse, which is known as the best fighting magic in the world. Perhaps this is the gap between them.

In times of trouble, luck is not on your side.

Hu Yuan sighed and turned to look at the man who was asking for the tiger leader's demon pill in the ruins in front of him. Even though he was an extremely introverted person, he couldn't help but show a chill on his face.

He said: "The human race regards the inner elixir of demons as a treasure, and has killed countless demons to take their elixirs, but our demon race rarely eats the golden elixir of cultivators."

"Are you still feeling wronged? This huge town is deserted, and I don't know how many people died, but none of them complained about their injustice."

Gu Wen held the bloody demon pill in his hand, turned around and looked at Hu Yuan, almost laughing out of anger.

Originally, seeing the town empty was just a reason for him to kill these monsters. Gu Wen himself did not have much feeling about it, because he neither saw any people being killed nor knew the people living here.

He is not a sentimental person and will not shed tears for a group of people he has never met.

But now that he saw it, Gu Wen felt that the monster really deserved to die.

The human who kills the monster has not appeared yet, but the monster who kills people is already in front of us. Now that he is being killed by himself to take the monster pill, he feels it is too cruel.

Hu Yuan showed no shame at all. Instead, he frowned and argued, "Mortals and ants are like wild animals, and can only be considered blood eaters. But humans eat chicken, duck, fish and meat without restraint. All things in the world are for food, so it is natural for anyone to be eaten."

"So what are you calling out for?"

Gu Wen stuffed the demon pill into the pieces and chewed them, then swallowed them into his stomach bit by bit until they were broken into pieces, and then he refined them into celestial marrow and magic power in a dignified manner.

【Fifty Years of Tiansui】

The impurities in it made the magic power a little confused, and the demonic thoughts were mixed in, bringing about a trace of frenzy.

He pointed the Zhanxia sword in his hand at Hu Yuan, locked onto his soul, and used his sword intent to overwhelm him.

"The strong prey on the weak, so it's only natural for me to devour you."

Hu Yuan seemed to fall into an icy cave in an instant. A dark shadow loomed before his eyes. A Taoist sword emitting cold light was raised high. His ordinary face was filled with the sword light of reaching the top. Clang!
The fourth and fifth levels of the Tao foundation are perfect, but for some reason they seem to be comparable to the twelfth heaven.

Hu Yuan condensed the Dharma image in just half a breath, and the image of the nine-tailed celestial fox was revealed. His Tao foundation reached the sixth and fifth levels, which was two levels higher than Gu Wen.

This was almost a subconscious action of his, and even he himself found it incredible. He was two levels higher than the other party, and as both were geniuses, there was no such thing as leaping levels, because they were both at the extreme level.

There may be differences in combat power within the same realm, but the gap will not be as big as the gap between perfection and non-perfection.

Gu Wen's indifferent voice came.

"Or are you scared?"

With a sword slashing down, the sword light cut off half of the Sky Fox Dharma Image. At the critical moment, Hu Yuan slightly avoided it. Even so, he still saw his blood spilling into the sky, and one arm flying in the air. Every drop of blood was extremely bright under the sword light.

How can it be? !
Hu Yuan's breathing stopped and he looked at the scene around him in disbelief, which was slowing down countless times.

He was two levels higher than his opponent, and was not inferior in magic power and Dharma appearance, but he still had his arm chopped off by a sword.

Time waits for no one, and the mind is unable to figure out the difference between the strong and the weak at this moment. The remaining sword light has torn the ground apart, extending all the way for a hundred meters, and in an instant three or four houses collapsed.

Gu Wen’s strength is two levels lower than his, and he is also good at the fifth level of perfection, but there is still a gap between perfection.

The three methods of becoming immortal, namely the Jade Purity Taoist foundation, the true understanding of the way of the sword, and the Nine-transformation Golden Elixir, are combined in one person. With all these accumulated together, Gu Wen is above all a genius.

Perfection is still not enough to be equal to him. Hu Yuan has misunderstood his own position. He is the challenger.

"Your Highness!!!"

The hysterical roar of the Sheep Protector brought Hu Yuan back to reality, and then another bright sword light came slashing down, without any moves, just a simple and plain swing.

The true meaning of Kendo returns to its original simplicity. There is no need for any sword moves. If you can block it, you can hurt others with no moves. Otherwise, there is no need to rely on any moves if you cannot block it.

block!
Suddenly, countless light pink petals poured out from Hu Yuan's body and collided with the Zhanxia Sword. The sword light of the true sword art was unable to cut off all the petals in an instant, and countless fireworks emerged from the friction.

After Gu Wen finished his sword strike, the muscles in his arm contracted, and he swung out three sword strikes with all his strength, slashing and flashing three times in an instant.

Hu Yuan, protected by the flower petals, flew backwards and plunged into the ruins.

not dead.

Gu Wen pondered inwardly, and rushed out. However, he stopped cautiously just after taking ten steps when he felt the smell was wrong.

In the ruins, pink petals floated endlessly, and flowers began to rain from the sky.

A jade hand slowly parted the sea of ​​flowers, and a graceful figure appeared, revealing her beauty. Her face was like a silver plate, her complexion was as pretty as water, and her eyes were like autumn waves.

"The true meaning of the sword art is truly the most powerful offensive technique in the world."

female?

Gu Wen stopped moving, looking puzzled as he looked at the beautiful woman with nine tails in front of him.

This gesture made the charming woman smile lightly, and she bowed slightly, and said in a charming voice: "My real name is Tu Shanxue, nice to meet you, Brother Dao."

Gu Wen asked: "Aren't you Hu Yuan?"

The auras of the two are completely opposite. A cultivator recognizes a person by his aura, which is no less than changing one's appearance in front of Gu Wen.

"I am Hu Yuan, but not entirely Hu Yuan."

Tu Shanxue's expression relaxed. She knew that the current situation might be worth discussing, and she also didn't want to fight a life-and-death battle with Jian Dao Zhenjie.

"I was originally the legitimate daughter of the Tushan clan in Qingqiu, but my uncle started a rebellion and seized the imperial court. My father was killed, my mother died, and all my relatives were beheaded in the streets. Now I am wandering outside, running around without anyone to rely on."

The fox girl covered her face and sobbed softly, her voice delicate.

"If you can lend me a helping hand, I am willing to pledge my love to you. My Tushan clan is good at practicing together, which allows couples to practice with half the effort and twice the result."

"So you are Hu Yuan?"

"nature."

A ray of sword light shone on her beautiful face, and in an instant, all her blood turned pale.

Gu Wen pulled out the remnant that was nurtured in the scabbard of the fairy sword. Her eyes were indifferent. She took a step forward with the sword, and the petals in the sky shattered into pieces. All her true methods were useless in front of the fairy sword.

He just needed to know whether he had killed the wrong person or whether the person had escaped.

As for her appearance, she was not even half as good as Yu Hua with her artificial appearance, and was even worse than Akabane with her short-haired, masculine look.

Tu Shanxue used up all her magic power, and the sea of ​​flowers rushed over like a tsunami. She knew that all words were useless at this moment.

This person is determined to kill me!
Gu Wen swung his sword, splitting the sea and slashing towards Tu Shanxue.

Then the life-saving magic weapon was triggered, and a wooden sign shattered with a sound, and a petal fell on it. In the sky full of sword light, he seemed to return to Qingqiu.

The fox girl was still young, so the Demon King carried her on his back and traveled around the peach blossom mountains.

Then the war spread all over the sky, Taoshan turned into a disaster, and the fox girl fled with the elders of the tribe. She entered the home of her childhood sweetheart and accepted the body that the other party sacrificed his life with a secret method.

That’s how we have come to this day.

Tu Shanxue collapsed to the ground helplessly, holding her broken arm, her brows full of weakness, she raised her face and said, "If you don't trust me, I am willing to offer my three souls and seven spirits to be a maid and a slave, and I only ask you to avenge my blood feud for me."

"Are you still qualified to make conditions now?"

Gu Wen walked slowly over, and the magic sword in his hand disappeared and condensed again.

Tu Shanxue bit her lip, as if enduring great humiliation, and said, "I can be your furnace cauldron. After handing over my three souls and seven spirits, I will have no chance of resisting. And I am a member of the Qingqiu royal family, and I will definitely inherit the throne in the future. Brother, don't you want a furnace cauldron of the Qingqiu Queen?"

She was a legitimate member of the royal family of the fox clan, a noble lady with a holy body, but she had become a slave of the human race's furnace. This was truly a great shame and humiliation.

But Tu Shanxue had to admit that Gu Wen was much stronger than she had imagined.

As someone who had cultivated both the Jade Purity Dao Foundation and the True Explanation of the Sword Dao, she only realized the power of the two great immortal methods after they actually fought each other. She was able to see that Gu Wen could surpass two levels and crush her.

It's not bad to commit myself to him, maybe even better, I have prepared everything, plus the help of the Three Pure Ones.
Tu Shanxue suddenly found it ridiculous that she actually had a willing thought and thought it was not bad to devote herself to human beings.

Gu Wen looked down at the fox girl. As they stared at each other, the Sheep Protector in the distance was already fighting for his life. The master was humiliated and the servant died. How could he let the saint girl of his clan become a slave of humans?

However, Akabane also got serious. He turned into a golden man and stepped on the sheep monster with one foot. He watched his saint kneeling in front of a human, waiting to be picked.

The overall situation has been decided, and it's just a matter of Gu Wen making a decision. Akabane has unknowingly acquiesced in his decision, without even realizing it herself.

Conformity is deeply rooted in people's hearts, sociality means obedience, and the right to speak is more powerful than any supernatural power.

"You seem to have a blood feud. You have someone you want to kill, something you want to do. Are you humiliated now?"

Gu Wen gently placed his hand on Tu Shanxue's head. She unconsciously closed her eyes slightly and a tear flowed down.

Before she could answer, the immortal sword swung and the head was separated.

"Pretentious."

Gu Wen picked up the head, looked at the dullness and disbelief on the beautiful face, and gave it a very low evaluation.

A sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, but who has an easy life in this world?

You are the only one who is pure and innocent, and has suffered so much that people pity you?

Bang!
There was a loud noise in the distance, and Akabane crushed the sheep demon to death with one foot, so quickly and cleanly that the demon didn't even make a sound.

Everything has settled down, and there is a little more tranquility in the wind.

Gu Wen held the snow-white fox head and praised: "But your hair is very beautiful, it can be made into a hat."
