Tao and Heaven

Chapter 155: Flying Swords Kill the Demons, and Leave When the Job is Done

The green python stood up from the water, half of its body was a hundred meters tall, and its snake eyes as big as lanterns looked down at Gu Wen coldly.

Gu Wen's eyes lit up. He had eaten dozens of demon pills that day, each of which was a small minion of the Three Years Heavenly Marrow.

[One Hundred and Thirty Years of Heavenly Marrow]

Although it was easy to kill, just like picking spiritual herbs, riding a horse and slaying a demon with a sword, the benefits were not enough after all. After working so hard for so long, he only obtained 70 years of heavenly marrow, which made him more and more angry.

Wherever the monsters go, it is extremely cruel.

Gu Wen’s killing was not satisfying enough, but the green python in front of him was very strong, so he should be able to enjoy it.

"Second Ancestor, it's time to run."

Ao Tang sensed the strong aura of the green python and said in a voice transmission: "Although I am a divine beast, my magical powers are all in alchemy and escape. This snake demon has the cultivation of seventy-sixth Dao foundation, at least the combat power of the thirteenth heaven, and you are only fifty-fourth Dao foundation."

The innate, when it comes to the ultimate path, will naturally have flaws.

Since he has the ability to escape from the hands of a half-immortal, then of course he is much weaker in other aspects. Escape is Ao Tang's strength, which is why the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect did not send a celestial master as a guardian, but instead sent Ao Tang of the Eight-Four Dao Foundation.

"I can leapfrog three levels to kill enemies, and now that I have reached the sixth level of the Golden Core, I can be considered a perfect level."

Gu Wen had no intention of backing down, and his words were so arrogant that Ao Tang felt suffocated.

"My little ancestor, if you can cross levels, so can others. Besides, others are just looking for old things that look good but are useless. They either use their magical powers to suppress others, or use magic weapons, or at least their cultivation. What you are facing now is a genius of the demon race, a genius!"

There was a big difference between perfect or not, but for the top geniuses, perfect was normal, and many people only got stuck after reaching the ninth level of the foundation. And often the geniuses would have one more level when all aspects were combined, and leaping levels was not a privilege that only Gu Wen could enjoy.

Geniuses are better than most people at the same level, prodigies are invincible at the same level, and the top prodigies rely on their magical powers to jump one level, and some even jump two levels.

For example, Sanqing Daozi, Chiyuzi, Xiao Yunyi, Jun Yan, Yujian Buddha and so on.

In addition to their magical powers, they also possess a method to become immortals, so they have an extra level of combat power over others.

This is like a mortal fighting, first look at the physique, then the strength, then the weapon, and then the skills. All aspects are different, but they all enhance the combat effectiveness.

There is always someone stronger than you, but no one is looking for a genius who can cross his level.

No matter how Ao Tang tried to dissuade him, Gu Wen had already jumped off his horse and landed on the river with his sword in hand.

In an instant, the river water surged, but the green python did not rush to attack. Instead, it sensed that Gu Wen's cultivation level showed some brutality.

"Wu Si Dao Ji, you are not even as good as my guardian, how dare you stand before me?"

It leaned forward slightly, its snake pupils flashing with excitement, and hot air spewed out of its fist-sized pores.

Suddenly, a huge wave arose in the already chaotic emotions like a flood.

It smelled a scent that made its blood boil.

He would never forget this foul smell. When the Bashe Cave was destroyed, the entire cave was filled with a smell similar to that of the man in front of him.

Yuqing Daoji, he is from the same lineage as the great demon Qingcang!
it is good!it is good!it is good!
The green python tried its best to suppress its emotions, but it couldn't help but spit out sticky saliva from its fangs.

"Do you know who this king is?"

"A reptile with scales and armor dares to call himself king?"

Gu Wen raised his head slightly, and the Zhanxia Sword in his hand emitted a white light. With his 54th Dao Foundation, he looked down on a genius of the demon clan who was only 76th Dao Foundation.

The two looked at each other, neither hiding their murderous intent.

The green python's breath turned into a sword, and Gu Wen swung his sword into a river. When the two touched, white light flashed and a huge splash of water exploded.

As soon as the true sword master touched the green python's sword light, the former was like a hot knife entering pork, cutting through it with unstoppable force, leaving a one-meter-long sword mark on the green python's body.

For a thousand-meter-long body, a one-meter wound is not even a scratch.

This is why Ao Tang does not recommend fighting. Although the true solution of the sword is sharp, the opponent's skin and flesh are thicker. Gu Wen can rely on the true solution of the sword to cross the level, and others can also resist with their foundation.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

"The sword is sharp, but the man is weak!"

"Four thousand years ago, the immortals of your human race sacrificed blood to the Bashen Cave Heaven, and used the cave heaven as a stone to destroy many demon cave heavens. Today, the blood debt must be repaid with blood. My name is Yu Ni, and I am of the royal bloodline of the Bashen family. I am also the one who killed you!"

I saw a green light appearing on the scales of the green python, and then the huge body under the water rolled over, and it actually made a tail swing that was completely inconsistent with its performance, like a giant knife chopping down.

when!
The Taoist sword collided with the snake's tail, sparks flew, and then the muscles at the end of the tail twitched slightly, and they collided more than thirty times in just a moment.

Gu Wen struggled a little, and Qingmang was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, the opponent with the 54th level of Dao should be killed by me in the first encounter. Even if he is extremely talented, he should not be able to be on equal footing with me when there is a difference of four realms.

The fight was so loud that it began to attract attention from all sides.

On the top of a green mountain, countless vines lifted up a woman in a green skirt and looked out at the river. The golden-winged roc spread its wings and flew thousands of feet high, looking at the land thousands of miles away. The Tushan Demon King hid in the dark and watched, and the semi-immortals who lived in the sky followed one after another.

They all saw the ugly appearance of the Green Python, and they all saw a man with a 54th Dao Base fighting against a man with a 76th Dao Base.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The snake's tail swung faster and faster, and every time it collided with the Zhanxia Sword, it would leave a wound on it.

No matter how solid the scales are, they cannot stop the true power of the sword. Now it seems that Gu Wen is defeated, but in fact it is the Green Python that is injured.

Gu Wen had a cold expression and didn't notice the gazes from all sides. He was observing the other party's moves and strength.

To cross levels, you need to be extremely alert, seize every opportunity and be alert to all dangers.

This is like completing a game with one life. From being able to kill enemies one level higher without any pressure to being able to fight against the geniuses of the demon clan by leaping three levels higher, Gu Wen never relied on recklessness.

Snake demon, good with sword, and thick skin.

Using sword skills as an attack is the reason why Gu Wen dares to win. He can run away when using other skills, but not sword skills.

Because Xianjian is unreasonable about everything related to swords.

You can win, but it might take some effort to kill.

Although there was a gap of four heavens between them, Gu Wen's Dao base was the human immortal method, his attack was the true solution of the sword way, and his golden elixir was the nine-turn golden elixir. Moreover, Gu Wen's current six-turn golden elixir could be considered perfect, while ordinary people could only complete three turns, and Tianjiao could only complete six turns.

Others perceive him as imperfect, but can his imperfection be compared with mediocrity?

"Is this all you have? A coward who can only block?"

The green python suddenly made a sarcastic sound. It was clearly evenly matched with Yue at the fourth level, but it still had the nerve to laugh at Gu Wen.

Ao Tang couldn't help but whisper, "Little Ancestor, don't fall for his provocation."

They all started to use tricks.

Gu Wen looked calm. He gradually built up his strength, and the force of his sword was increasing.

when!
With one sword he cut off the snake's tail, and with the true knowledge of the sword art he used all his strength to drive the sword energy out to cut it. The green python cunningly curled up its body to defend itself, leaving a huge wound, but still not hurting its roots.

Gu Wen's eyes darkened slightly. If there was a Chiyuzi who used the Suanren to open the enemy's vital point like he did that day, the sword just now would have been able to kill it.

The difference between being hit on the arm and being hit on the temple, same force, completely opposite outcomes.

But the situation changed in just a moment, making Yu Ni even more angry, and she immediately used her Dharma image.

On top of the thousand-meter-long snake body, there is another thousand-meter-long Dharma image.

The green snake image stretched out the sword light, and then exhaled into a giant sword that fell straight down.

Gu Wen exhaled slightly and reached out to the immortal sword behind him, but suddenly felt that it was not the right time, so he condensed the remnant of the immortal sword in his left hand.

With one sword strike, the giant sword shattered and the Dharma image was broken.

If a sword were to fight against an immortal sword, even if the Green Snake was at a higher level, it would be impossible for it to gain an advantage.

Most of the green snake's Dharma image was broken, and Yu Ni's pupils exposed outside the remaining body of the Dharma image were full of surprise, and the same was true for the powerful people from all sides who cast their glances at her.

Those below the Dao realm were astonished at the power of the true sword, and those above the Dao realm were surprised at the profound magic power of Gu Wen.

"Descendants of Qingcang, today either you die or I die!" Yu Ni fell into complete madness, a green light appeared under her scales, and her momentum continued to rise.

Not only could he not avenge his family, but his enemy's descendants also surpassed his rank, and were four ranks higher than him, putting him at a disadvantage.

A pair of illusory white feathers spread out, and the green python's body slowly rose into the air. Its magic power gushed out like a mountain torrent, gathering strength to climb to a small realm in one breath, and ten breaths were equivalent to a high heaven.

The feathered serpent's magical power pushed the green snake to the fourteenth heaven in an instant.

But his vital points were also completely exposed, leaving him no defense or evasion. The attack of the Fourteenth Heaven did not represent the defense of the Fourteenth Heaven.

"Second Ancestor, this loach is going to fight to the death. Let's go!"

Ao Tang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stood in front of Gu Wen, and then the latter took a step forward.

Came a calm tone.

"Protector, don't block it."

The magic sword was slowly pulled out of the scabbard, and a cold light illuminated the sky and the earth, as if turning dusk into day.

With just one sword, the divine light emitted by the feathered serpent's magical power dimmed.

Half of the river was stained with blood, and the rock-hard scales were broken. Three feet below the green python's head, there was a sword mark that went diagonally into the bones. The flesh and blood were neat and smooth, and could be seen bulging.

However, Yu Ni was not dead. It was half lying on the river bank, its eyes still staring at Gu Wen.

As expected, without Akabane's control, it was still extremely difficult to kill the enemy at level three. If it hadn't used its magical powers, then this sword would probably only hurt its roots, but would not be able to determine the outcome.

And I only have one third of my mana left.

While reviewing the situation, Gu Wen stepped on the snake's head and placed Zhanxia against its forehead.

"you lose."

The outcome has been decided.

There was silence all around, and several geniuses from the demon clan who were watching the battle from afar were stunned. They didn't expect that Gu Wen could actually win.

No one knew the emotions and expressions of the great gods from outer space, but for some reason, more and more gazes were cast at him, so many that Ao Tang could vaguely sense one or two.

Many demigods are watching here!
"If you want to kill me or chop me up, just do it. If I shout even once, you will lose."

Yu Ni's voice was still filled with hatred, as if Gu Wen had killed his entire family.

So you haven't lost yet?

Gu Wen didn't expect that these monsters were even more shameless than humans, and more hypocritical than each other. They could truly be called monsters.

He could probably understand the conflict between the Immortal Qingcang and the demon clan, but when he saw the horrific scene in Nanshui, he felt that the demons should be killed.

I don’t know how much heavenly marrow this snake demon has. Its body is a thousand meters long, and it took half a day to grow.

Maybe make some snake soup.

Gu Wen pressed down the sword slightly, and suddenly a voice came from the sky, and an illusory figure flew in from the sky.

"Leave the demon under the sword."

Yu Ni was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, and then her eyes showed ecstasy, and she shouted: "Ancestor, save me!!!"

Gu Wen heard it the first time, then stopped the Zhanxia Sword in his hand, and with his other hand, he condensed the last remnant of the immortal sword and suddenly pushed it in.

The reason is simple: those who want to protect their enemies are also their enemies.

puff!
The sword light pierced the snake's head like a knife piercing tofu, and the aftermath penetrated the entire thousand-meter-long snake body. Yu Ni, who had no ability to resist, was split in two at the center of her eyebrows.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Gu Wen to be so bold. There was a faint sound of laughter or cursing from the sky, but the sound was too far away and it was difficult to hear clearly without trying to hear it.

Ao Tang made a prompt decision and ran away, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

The illusory figure in the sky moved quickly, raised his hand and grabbed Yu Ni, and she immediately flew into the air.

Gu Wen put away his sword and stood up, raised his eyebrows and watched indifferently as Yu Ni's soul rose into the air and dissipated, and wailing sounds came from the sky.

When the immortal sword cuts something, it either kills or injures it.

After Yu Ni was chopped so many times by the true sword master and took three attacks from the residual sword of the immortal sword, there was no possibility of survival.

"Ancestor! Save me, save me. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The spirit and soul turned into tiny starlight and scattered, and even the immortal from outer space could only catch a handful of crumbs. Death is the fairest thing in the world.

If you don’t become an immortal, you will die, and one day you will die cleanly and neatly.

Those who become immortals will still exist after billions of years of death.

"How dare you"

A low and mysterious sound was heard, and the sky and earth changed color, but it did not affect the immortality in the slightest.

Ao Tang appeared again, carrying a woman in white clothes with her face covered on his back. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, then just glanced into the sky, and all movement stopped abruptly.

She just stood there, as if all the wind and waves did not exist.

Gu Wen said: "Sorry to trouble you again."

"I didn't contribute anything, so why would there be any trouble? Besides, everyone has their own responsibilities. If anyone who comes needs my help, then I won't be here."

Yu Hua dismounted and walked lightly to Gu Wen. He raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face and frowned slightly, saying, "You didn't say it was a problem when you took advantage of people who were not from our sect."

Non-native people.
Gu Wen knew who the other party was talking about and felt a little embarrassed. He was indeed a little close to Akabaneko.

Because Yu Hua was sleepy and practicing the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, he had more contact with the other party during this period. However, the name Yu Hua might make Chiyuzi very sad.

Yu Hua did not blame him too much. He wiped the blood off Gu Wen's face and said, "You have become stronger, just like my senior brother whom I have never met."

"Three Pure Ones?"

"Yes, I don't know what his current level of cultivation is, but his greatest achievement was defeating Lan Yongning, the heir of Liuyun Sect, by leaps four realms at the Tianxuan Conference. And you will be stronger than him, but it's a pity that you can't participate in the Tianxuan Conference, missing some interesting stories, after all, this is the only way to practice."

"why?"

"Of course it's because when you get out, you can be Jade Pure Heavenly Lord, and you should sit on the stage and watch the young people fight."

Yu Hua said this with such certainty. She could not appoint or dismiss the Three Pure Ones. She just believed that no one could defeat Gu Wen.

The old donkey at the side turned his head away for fear of getting a stye.

"To be the best in the world, or to be the best in the generation, or to be a late bloomer, these are all extremely important parts of cultivation."

"I don't think there's any need to pursue formalities. Perhaps directly becoming the Heavenly Lord is more suitable for me."

Gu Wen said shamelessly.

He had never been to Tianwai and could not understand Yu Hua's regret. It was probably similar to the fact that he had never been to school or experienced campus life in his previous life.

But can being a disciple be as comfortable as Tianzun?
Suddenly, he heard shouts and screams. Gu Wen's mind extended ten miles. A scene came to his mind and his expression became serious and cold.

"Hold on."

Gu Wen stepped into the air, as if riding on clouds, and saved people like putting out a fire.

It soars along the rivers, and the rain and fog on the rivers are dissipated, making the water surface surrounded by clouds, forming a cloud path extending out.

Five miles away, the cavalry were fighting with the wolf monsters. The wolf monsters were strong but few in number, while they were numerous but weak in strength.

Gu Wen stopped in the clouds, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. Seeing someone walking into the wolf's mouth, he made a sword gesture with his hand, and the Zhan Xia Fei sword was unsheathed like a white line spanning five miles, cutting off the wolf's head.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the Zhanxia Sword rang and moved among the chaotic army, slashing a monster. Before it could enter the eyes of mortals, it turned into white light and returned to the sheath.

The flying sword comes to slay the demon, and when the task is done he leaves.

The remaining demon had already died in the mortal army. Jiang Jucai was covered in blood. With his eyes half open, he could only see a blurry figure going farther and farther away in the sky.
