Chapter 594: Earth Sword Breaks Evil
Above the Earth Sword, there is the Sky Sword.

The Heavenly Sword has the Big Dipper as its tip, the Great Void as its blade, the Sun and the Moon as its spine, and the Dark Yellow as its hilt. When this sword is out, Lie Que becomes its light, Fu Yao becomes its blade, and the thunder of the Nine Heavens becomes its sword intent!

This is the legend of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal Sect.

But just like the Fengdu lineage, it is recorded that one can summon the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor to take action, but it is only a theoretical peak and no one can use it.

At least, it can't be done in the human world.

The same is true for Tianjian.

Even so, the Earth Sword is enough to suppress the luck.

In addition, there are also grades among the earth swords. Their power varies with the size of the altar, the complexity of the rituals, and the level of cultivation of the person in charge of the altar.

One hundred and eight magic flags make up the number of Tiangang and Disha, and there are not many people, which is just right for a small-scale raid.

The gale became stronger and stronger. The innate evil energy was invisible to ordinary people with the naked eye, but it caused thick fog that continued to gather on the hillside.

This scope is still expanding.

This is the local advantage. Qingcheng disciples often travel around to worship the gods of mountains and rivers. Once the magic flag is raised, they will also receive help.

If it were in other places, it wouldn't be so magical.

It was visible to the naked eye that thick fog was gathering on the hills, birds and beasts were running around, strong winds were howling in the mountains, and even waves were caused on the river.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Shu Palace.

"Brother, look!"

A demon monk carrying a large gourd on his back was the first to notice something was wrong.

His eyes were bright and sharp, and it was obvious that he possessed some kind of eye ability, which allowed him to detect things in the dark night at the first sight.

The others turned their heads and also saw the abnormality.

The moonlight was like frost, and the distant hills were covered with thick clouds, like a huge black shadow slowly crawling...

On the river, the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger...

The green-robed old man who led the Shu King's side was none other than Zhao Jie, the refiner of the "God of Happiness Money", a disciple of the Jinling Liuren Immortal Sect, the leader of the Taihu Lake bandits, and a master of Gang Jin.

"It's Qingcheng's Earth Sword!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, but showed no fear on his face. He murmured, "The hexagrams of the recent days show that Taichang and Tengshe are in the same palace. There will be twists and turns, but it is also a turning point. It seems that it should be the Qingcheng Sect..."

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Don't pay any attention to it. Put down all the formation stones quickly!"

After hearing his order, everyone continued to work.

Different from those half-hearted ones in Chengdu Prefecture, these evil cultivators in front of him were all people whom Lu Sheng had tested several times and had gained his deep trust.

Even these salt gang boatmen have received favors.

Not only that, Zhao Jie also knew Lu Sheng's identity and even all his plans, so he was willing to be driven by him and act in secret.

Even when they heard that Qingcheng Sect was coming, no one backed down.

"Quick, lend a hand!"

"Never mind, just let it go!"

The boatmen worked like crazy, speeding up.

boom! boom! boom!
Huge rocks fell at the designated locations, splashing huge water, and the waves on the river surface immediately caused the boat to bump up and down.

The salt gang's boatmen are not so bad. They have been sailing on the water for years and are used to strong winds and rough waves, so their boats are very steady.

However, several of the Black Feather Guards under the King of Shu lost their balance and fell directly into the river.

It stands to reason that they could swim and climb back aboard, even with their new firearms.

But when these people fell into the water, before they could struggle a few times, their bodies stiffened, their skin turned pale, dark blue handprints appeared on their bodies, and they slowly sank into the river bank.

It turned out that their previous formation attracted many evil creatures from the water. The evil cultivators under the King of Shu were attracted by the Qingcheng Sword Altar and forgot to drive them away, so they were caught.

Don't blame them either.

Ordinary people only felt the strong wind and waves and the darkness in the distant mountains, but these monks felt more and were all shocked by the powerful momentum.

"What are you all standing there for?!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jie snorted coldly.

When the other sorcerers heard this, they dared not be distracted anymore. Some threw cinnabar powder into the water to drive away the evil spirits, while others picked up the compass and inserted iron rods to set up an array.

Although the Qingcheng Sect's swordsmanship is strong, they are more aware of how terrifying Zhao Jie is.

Of course, Zhao Jie was not idle either.

He pinched his fingers and stepped forward onto the deck. The waves under his feet formed a whirlpool that only covered his ankles and moved rapidly through the surrounding water.

This is an extremely advanced water escape technique.

Even the people around were a little surprised when they saw it.

It was the first time they saw Zhao Jie use this method.

Little did he know that Zhao Jie was equally anxious.

Since he participated in the Lu Sheng plan, he has come to Dujiangyan countless times to explore the location of the Dragon Palace and Water Palace.

The purpose of instigating the Southwestern Evil Sect and Qingcheng to fight here was to determine the direction.

Now we have laid out a formation of stones at the bottom of the river, but there has been no movement.

Thinking of this, murderous intent rose in his heart.

According to his speculation, two treasures are needed to enter the Dragon Palace:

One is the "Ruyi Pearl" that Li Yan and his men stole, which was used to protect themselves so that they would not be contaminated by the dragon energy inside when they traveled to the Dragon Palace.

The second is the ancient jade in the hands of the Meishan brothers, which is the key to sensing the Dragon Palace and traveling into it.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get either of the two items.

We can only activate the backup plan...

On the other hand, Qingcheng's swordsmanship was becoming more and more powerful.

Lines of innate evil energy, wrapped in thick fog, roared in, eventually converging into the sword altar and drilling into the seven magic swords.

These magic swords are very old, made of a material similar to bronze, with a rust-like patina on the surface, which makes them look even more ancient.

As the evil energy was injected into the sword, the rust on the sword peeled off bit by bit, revealing the cold green blade forged from meteorite iron inside.

Mingshanzi, who was presiding over the formation, also changed his appearance at this time.

He was squatting in a horse stance, making sword gestures with his hands, his muscles were swollen, veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clenched. He was obviously in great pain.

Among the people present, he is the only one who can support this sword arena.

Finally, when he was about to reach his limit, he suddenly stepped on the Gang Step and said in a deep voice: "The sky is round and the earth is square, the law is nine chapters, my sword is here, all evil is hidden, the five strong men listen to my command, hurry!"

hum!
As he pointed his sword, the air around him suddenly vibrated and 108 magic flags fluttered.

The white fog visible to the naked eye was carried by the strong wind and roared down the hill.

It looked like just a gust of strong wind and thick fog, but wherever it passed, all the dead branches and weeds were broken, as if they were cut off by a sharp blade.

Sword marks appeared on the snowy ground.

Many magic techniques are related to local customs.

According to legend, in the ancient Shu Dynasty, the king ordered five strong warriors (the Five Dings) to open up the Jinniu Road, split the steep mountains, and open up a passage between Shu and the Central Plains.

On the way, the killing of a giant python caused a landslide, and the Five Dings and the beautiful woman Qin Xian were all buried in the mountain, forming the "Five Ding Tomb".

From then on, whenever the mountain people in Shu opened up dangerous mountain roads, they would carve the "Five Ding Mountain Opening Talisman" on the mountain.

Although the Qingcheng Sect is an orthodox Taoist sect, it has also absorbed local techniques. For example, in this sword arena, Ming Shanzi summoned the innate evil energy, transformed it into sword energy, and then drove it with the Five Ding Curse.

It was like five guardian generals, holding magic swords to slay the enemies.

As the Wu Ding sword appeared, it showed its majesty.

However, Cheng Jianxin next to him sighed slightly.

The trick to the Five Ding Earth Swords is to condense them. If he uses them, the evil energy can even transform into five powerful swords.

Sadly, he is now at the end of his rope.

Ming Shanzi is already an outstanding member of the younger generation of the Cheng family. If it were anyone else, they would not even be able to maintain such a sword arena.

The older generation of Qingcheng is already old, and the head master has to stay at the mountain gate and cannot go out easily, and the young people cannot keep up.

Ten years later, Qingcheng will probably decline.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jianxin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chang Gousheng next to him with a serious expression.

Humanity has changed. The disciples of Qingcheng have been influenced by the habits of Shu and follow the rules, making it difficult for them to make breakthroughs. That is why he recruited disciples from the countryside. Chang Gousheng has amazing talent and wild imagination, and he is the backup he left for the Cheng family and Qingcheng.

I just don’t know if I can ride on the wave of this humanitarian revolution…

Regardless of what Cheng Jianxin was thinking, the sword energy of the Earth Sword controlled by Ming Shanzi had already reached the surface of the river in the blink of an eye.

The wind was howling and the white fog was rolling. Wherever it passed, huge waves were raised on the surface of the river, as if a giant was wielding a sword across the water.

"careful!"

Such power made everyone in the Prince of Shu’s mansion tremble with fear.

The Black Feather Guards on the periphery raised their huge shields and tried their best to protect others behind them.

At this moment, they were also a little confused.

After receiving new firearms and undergoing some hard training, these Black Feather Guards became arrogant and looked down upon the sorcerers.

No matter how powerful the magic is, a volley of musket fire will destroy every part of the body.

But in the face of such a terrible attack, the firearms in their hands were completely reduced to fire sticks and were completely useless.

Click!

Before they could think about it, white fog and strong wind came howling. With a crisp sound, cracks appeared on the hull, as if it had been cut off by a huge blade.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force came from both arms.

The shields in their hands were all made of iron and wood and covered with iron sheets, so they could even block powerful crossbows.

However, many shields were clanging and sparks were flying, and huge cracks also appeared on them.

Some shields were shattered, some were broken directly into two pieces, and several Black Feather Guards were even cut in half, with blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

After all, Mingshanzi's power is limited. If the power of the Earth Sword hits him, it can directly pierce through the fleet.

How could it be like this, with such an imbalance of power?

Even so, the fleet suffered heavy losses. The outermost ships were all shattered or even fell apart, swept away by huge waves and sank into the river.

More than twenty people died, and the body parts mixed with blood quickly dyed the surface of the river red.

Zhao Jie jumped up and stood in front.

His palms suddenly solidified and he waved them left and right.

clang! clang!
With two crisp sounds, he actually dispersed the two attacking sword energies, and his body remained motionless.

"Everyone, stay hidden!"

Zhao Jie looked into the distance and sneered, "The master of the altar is still a little short of the mark, at most one more sword..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, bubbles began to gurgle on the red surface of the river, and a large amount of mud surged out.

A cold and powerful aura rose from the river.

"It's done, blood sacrifice?!"

There was a look of surprise in Zhao Jie's eyes.

It's not like he hasn't tried blood sacrifices before, but every time there was no result. He didn't expect that Qingcheng's move would lead to the appearance of the Dragon Palace.

This happened by coincidence.

The sword altar of the Qingcheng Sect must first gather the earth energy of the surrounding mountains and rivers, causing the energy of the earth veins in the river to change, which would accidentally lead to a blood sacrifice.

But Zhao Jie didn't feel happy for long. He suddenly turned around and looked to the right, his eyes full of horror. "What... is this?"

He could feel a cold and vast force rising from the center of the formation, as if something was spying on them.

Many warlocks have this feeling.

Some people couldn't help but use their magical powers to investigate.

Soon, screams were heard.

The man carrying the gourd just now used his eyes to investigate. Just by taking a look, black water flowed out of his seven orifices, and he rolled on the ground wailing, and vertical red spots appeared on his skin...

Others, too.

No matter what magical power is used, the same symptoms appear.

"Don't look, don't explore!"

Zhao Jie roared and retreated repeatedly.

Click!

A piece of jade in his chest shattered.

Zhao Jie quickly looked towards his right hand, where a vertical red spot had appeared. It slowly dissipated after the circulation of his internal energy.

"What kind of spell is this?"

He was filled with horror.

That jade stone was a treasure obtained from the treasury of the King of Shu. It came from the same area as the He Shi Bi and was made into an excellent protective magic weapon.

Unexpectedly, I couldn’t hold on even for a moment.

Fortunately, after his reminder, many warlocks stopped exploring and even dared not look towards the Kan position.

As for the ordinary boatmen, they were not cursed at all. They were just a little panicked. They watched the cursed sorcerers rolling on the ground and gradually became crazy.

"It's the Eye of Ancient Shu!"

Cheng Jianxin stood up suddenly, his face becoming serious, "There must be something suppressed inside the Dragon Palace Water Palace. We can't let it escape!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Ming Shanzi started the sword arena again without hesitation.

Just as Zhao Jie said, he could only use two swords.

Compared to those ordinary people, the thing that is about to escape is obviously a greater threat.

hum!
Another sword came, overwhelming.

The target this time is the outer side of the fleet.

Strong winds and white fog soon filled the surface of the river.

Roar--!
The wind was howling, and it seemed to be mixed with the roar of some monster.

White fog rolled in and the waves on the river were surging.

Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang, it seemed as if a huge balloon burst, and visible red mist rose up, drifted everywhere, and flew away into the distance.

"It's a demon!"

Now, many sorcerers noticed something strange.

The evil spirit is a mutation of the innate evil spirit that can only be eliminated. It should be an evil thing left over from the ancient and barbaric generations of Shu.

Fortunately, it has been shattered by the Qingcheng Sword Altar.

"Do it, leave no one behind!"

The evil creature was killed and the sword altar could not be used. Cheng Jianxin gave the order without hesitation, and everyone from Qingcheng Mountain and the Cheng family jumped out and ran down the mountain.

"Shoot, stop them!"

Zhao Jie also gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Their goal has not been achieved yet, so they can only stay and not leave.

The remaining Black Feather Guards raised their magic fire guns and, under the command of the evil sorcerer, pulled the triggers into the darkness.

Boom boom boom!
Roars resounded through the night sky.

The flames were accompanied by smoke, and mud was splattered all over the ground on the shore.

However, the people of Qingcheng Sect were well prepared.

The Kundao woman made hand gestures, and the golden needles on her head trembled. Ringing sounds rang out from all directions, disrupting the magical powers of those sorcerers, causing most of the muskets to fire into the open space...

The old Taoist priest with white hair and scars all over his face, holding a jujube wood seal in his hand, took out a large piece of iron powder from his pocket and suddenly sprinkled it into the air, while making hand gestures and chanting incantations.

zizi~
The lightning crackled and spread along the water surface.

The power was not great, but it made many Black Feather Guards tremble all over.

In a blink of an eye, the two sides fought into a group...
