Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 106: Thunder and fire; from life and death not being in one’s control to life and death being in one’s control
In the air, a vast black cloud of skeletons covered all directions.

The Demonic Sound of Ten Thousand Souls, the Death Intentions of Ten Thousand Souls, the Magical Realm of Ten Thousand Souls, Wan Zongshao has already brought his magic power to the ultimate level, at least to the ultimate level that he understands and can display.

He wanted to do whatever it took to kill the two young monks in front of him.

This rolling Ten Thousand Souls True Evil, coordinated with Wan Zongshao's flying sword, sometimes turned into black whips, sometimes turned into chains, and sometimes turned into black pillars and heavy hammers, constantly bombarding the two people who were guarded by the five-colored sword light.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

As the main attacking gray sword light passed by again and again, the sound of iron forging in a blacksmith shop continued to ring.

The sword lights collided, shaking the void.

Lu Cheng formed a five-element sword light formation with Xiao Yuxue in his arms. The two of them moved left and right, forward and backward, but the sword light around them only shook slightly and then stabilized.

At this moment, the whistling sound of air waves echoing in the air was like a strong wind sweeping across the endless grassland, rushing and roaring without any direction.

Lu Cheng controlled the Five Elements Flying Sword, blocking and absorbing the force, using swordsmanship that was ten times more sophisticated than his opponent's to resist magic power that was at least several times more powerful than his own.

Wan Zongshao felt the same way. He charged and slashed at the outer layer of sword energy laid by Lu Cheng again and again, but he felt that it was completely ineffective. It was like sea water hitting a smooth reef. The sea water would eventually pass, recede and disperse, but the reef would still stand there.

Of course, the sea water can eventually break down the reef, but the time required may be unacceptably long.

In Wan Zongshao's feeling, Lu Cheng at this moment was clearly a round and flawless sphere. Driven by the core of his five elements sword energy, the sword lights flew and spun, borrowing each other's force to dissipate, eliminating all external forces, and even turning external forces for his own use. He had the momentum to counterattack at any time.

The so-called receiving, transforming and releasing, these sword skills can be said to have grasped the essence of it.

Defense and counterattack, while giving priority to preserving oneself, maintain the momentum of counterattack so that the opponent cannot attack with all his strength. This is the typical feature of righteous swordsmanship.

At this moment, Wan Zongshao was a little bit unconvinced by Lu Cheng’s self-introduction just now. He was the ninth disciple of Huang Longzi of the Palace of the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts?
I have never heard that Huang Longzi is good at swordsmanship, but the guy in front of me is clearly a typical disciple of the righteous Xuanmen Sword Sect.

"How come he is so young, and his swordsmanship is so sophisticated and experienced? As long as he passes the stage of accumulating mana in the foundation building realm, he will be able to condense his magic power and refine his true form in the future. I'm afraid he will make great progress!"

When a cultivator practices Taoism and reaches the peak of the ninth level of foundation building and has mastered the profound skills, he will enter the realm of condensed evil. He can then seek out the pure true evil between heaven and earth, swallow it into his own body, and integrate it into magic power.

But where should he put the pure and powerful True Evil that is several times more powerful than his own magic power?

Of course it is the Dantian Qi Sea. There are some methods in this world that do not work in this way, but the vast majority of the methods of Condensing Evil and the top-level methods of Condensing Evil are all in this way. They are the most stable after being refined over thousands of times.

Therefore, this step is also called "True Evil Embracing the Pill" in the Tongxuan world.

By gathering one's own magic power and the evil spirits of heaven and earth in the dantian and refining it, the cultivator's magic power will increase dramatically, ten times more than before.

At this moment, Wan Zongshao felt that if he allowed this young man in front of him to complete the accumulation of magic power and cultivate the profound skills, with the ability he showed at this moment, he would be able to break through the two levels of Condensing Sha and Refining Gang at an incredibly fast speed.

Maybe it's really like the legendary top disciples of the big sects, who have tempered their character enough, have all the skills, and have found a vein full of evil spirits, and they can succeed in five to ten years. Then they can condense the Tiangang aura and integrate it into their magic power, and they can succeed in five to ten years...

"You'd better die here today. I can also eliminate a scourge for my fellow comrades in advance!"

A blue-green flying needle appeared between the five fingers of Wan Zongshao's hand behind his back. The higher the level of cultivation, the more expensive and rare the magic weapon that matches one's own cultivation becomes.

Wan Zongshao has cultivated to the sixth level of Ningsha, and most of his energy has been spent on the Wanhun Wuji Magic Art. He has accumulated materials for his own magic weapon for many years, but has not yet refined it. The only magic weapons he has for protection are a fourth-grade medium-quality flying sword and this fourth-grade low-quality flying needle.

Don't underestimate the lower grade of the fourth level. The flying needle is a well-known Yin weapon in the Tongxuan world, because it can fly extremely fast, is secretive and difficult to detect, and is often tempered with a deadly poison that can break the protective evil spirit. With the help of this Yin weapon, Wan Zongshao has successfully killed and defeated several cultivators of the same level.

"go with!"

Without a trace or an invisible form, the flying needle broke through the air and escaped.

At the same time, Wan Zongshao also activated his magic power, increasing the impact of his sword light and the Ten Thousand Souls Magic Attack, forcing Lu Cheng's mind to the limit.

Even if one has a clear sword heart, he is not invincible. A big rock can crush a tortoise. Even if one has a clear sword heart, he will still lose sight of the big picture after exceeding the limit!

However, Wan Zongshao's powerful attack instead aroused the vigilance of the Taoist who had experienced countless sword fights of all sizes.

"Die!"

"Die with us!"

"We are all dead, why are you still alive?"

The black energy of skeletons roared in from all directions like a whirlpool, the devilish sound disturbed the mind, and at the same time, the fourth-level flying sword chopped down on the head.

"Chijun, help me!"

Holding the seal in his hand, Lu Cheng performed a Taoist seal. In an instant, in a temple thousands of miles away, a magnificent statue of a god shone brightly. In the eyes of the Taoists, red light shot up into the sky for a moment.

A divine power poured into Lu Cheng's sea of ​​consciousness like a warm trickle, which had almost consumed most of it. Not only did it not restore it instantly, but it also instantly raised his spiritual consciousness.

Lu Cheng has been practicing Taoism for more than 20 years, and has been self-sufficient. Except for the initial years, he has hardly relied on any external force.

However, the incense offerings to Chixin Temple in Southern Xinjiang and Chijun in Shiyuan City are growing stronger and stronger, even spreading to surrounding areas, forming a belief system of the Taoist guardian deity, Chixin God.

Years of accumulation, blessing the body.

In an instant, his spiritual consciousness rose, and forty-nine layers of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared on his body to protect him: "Master, no one can hurt you until we die in battle!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The battle cries of the heavenly soldiers and generals rang in his heart, but Lu Cheng's mind was clear.

"Found it, the real killer move is there!"

Lu Cheng keenly noticed that a tiny and light blue-green flying needle light was circling behind him and flying towards him.

He held the seal with one hand and did not move at all until the needle light broke through the air and rushed towards the vital point at the back of his heart, then he suddenly turned around and slashed with the sword.

The Fiery Golden Sword, the fire element is violent and domineering, the gold element is sharp and fierce, both of them are the most superior flying sword weapons.

Although they are mutually exclusive, once they are combined into one using advanced weapon-refining techniques, it is possible to forge a flying sword that can unleash the strongest sword power in the shortest time.

when.

The five elements magic power, meridian-severing sword energy, and the flying sword burning with blazing flames were directly aimed at the flying needle that was stabbing at it with all its strength.

"what?"

Although Wan Zongshao was horrified at this moment, he had no way to retreat. If he retreated, he would be defeated by the third-order flying sword, while the opponent would be unharmed.

Therefore, although he knew clearly that flying needles were not very good at frontal attacks, Wan Zongshao still poured all his spiritual power into the flying needles after a brief hesitation, hoping to defeat the opponent with one force.

At the same time, he urged his flying sword to slash down fiercely, but although it advanced several inches, it still could not cut through the five-colored sword circle defense surrounding Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue.

"How is it possible? How deep is his foundation? I am extremely exhausted from chasing him all the way. How can his magic power and consciousness bear it?"

Click, click.

In a head-on battle with the Ningsha monk, the fourth-level magic weapon, although the Fiery Golden Light Sword was of excellent quality, at this moment, amid the sound of sword sounds, the light golden sword body began to bend.

It seems like it may break at any time.

But Lu Cheng's expression was extremely indifferent. He put his index and middle fingers of his left hand together to form a sword gesture, and slowly pressed upwards to the tail end of the Fiery Golden Light Sword.

The sword gesture pointed to the sword body, and a five-colored halo spread out. The virtual flame burned and incinerated everything, crackling, crackling.

After a struggle, the power of the sword fire finally exploded. With a loud clang, the blue-green fourth-grade inferior flying needle was finally unable to bear the load and was burned to pieces.

"what!"

With his prized magic weapon destroyed and his mind and spirit connected, Wan Zongshao couldn't help but groan, and uncontrollably touched his forehead with his hand, feeling a splitting headache.

In fact, with the blessing of the power of Lord Chixin, Lu Cheng can completely use the Fiery Golden Sword to cut the side of the flying needle diagonally to the place where his magic power cannot reach. Although this will greatly increase the difficulty of interception, Lu Cheng is confident that he can do it. In this way, his own magic power will not be consumed, the Fiery Golden Sword will not be damaged, but Wan Zongshao's flying needle magic weapon will be broken and destroyed.

But Lu Cheng did not do so. Instead, he chose to fight head-on, defeating strength with strength and force with force.

Because in this way, Wan Zongshao will invest more of his mind and magic power, and when the flying needle is destroyed, his damage will be greater than before.

"I don't want the Fiery Golden Sword anymore, but I want you to die!"

As Wan Zongshao's mind was traumatized, a terrifying brutality and murderous intent emanated from Lu Cheng.

The flying sword, which was badly damaged in the head-on fight, flew in the air and fell back into the storage ring. Lu Cheng formed a sword gesture with his right hand at his dantian, tracing it upwards from his dantian to his chest, and then to his larynx.

Then the Taoist raised his head, straightened his chest, turned to the position where Wan Zongshao was standing, and opened his mouth: Boom. A stream of black and red blazing fire swept away like a volcanic eruption. This time, the Great Five Elements Earth Extreme True Fire meandered like a black and red flaming dragon, rushing towards the evil cultivator Wan Zongshao.

When a fire dragon attacks you, life or death is at stake.

Wan Zongshao felt a sharp pain in his head at this moment. He sensed the terrifying fire flow. Although he was surprised, he was not panicked because he had already carefully placed the Ruyi magic weapon and used the green cloud to protect himself. Although the magic in front of him was powerful, it was still...

At this moment, Wan Zongshao suddenly felt something in his heart and suddenly raised his head.

At the same time, outside the Black Cloud Skull and the Ten Thousand Souls Domain, the sky was covered with clouds, and layers of blue and white blazing lightning gathered together, and finally, it struck down with a loud bang.

At this time, Lu Cheng turned sideways and glanced at the little girl Xiao Yuxue behind him who had a face full of hatred and murderous intent.

I thought to myself, "Sure enough."

In Lu Cheng's previous life, extremely powerful or wealthy men had a way of testing women. They would slap girls for no reason in daily life.

If the other person reveals a pitiful and confused look, it means that the girl has a gentle temperament.

If the other party reveals hatred and hostility, it means that this girl is rebellious and strong in nature. You can interact with her, but be careful.

Although Lu Cheng was rich in his previous life, he had never reached that level. But the Xiao Yuxue behind him is a veritable second-generation immortal.

If she were a man, she would have reached the point where she needed this knowledge. Otherwise, if she took a concubine outside and didn't know how to judge her, she would be secretly stolen by the concubine's magic weapon and skills, and finally killed by someone who contacted outsiders. That would be a tragedy.

Things like this happen from time to time in the Tongxuan Realm. They can make people lose their minds, and when they are confused, they can do all kinds of stupid things.

Xiao Yuxue was raised with kindness by Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang since she was a child, so her character can't be described as strong: she is kind-hearted not to harm others, so how could others dare to harm her?

After being hit by Wan Zongshao and rescued by Lu Cheng, Xiao Yuxue recovered her breath and quickly took out a jade bottle, took out a snow-jade pill from it, tilted her head back and swallowed it. Not long after, she recovered her strength. Then, she stared at Wan Zongshao hatefully and took out a fourth-level talisman from her Qiankun bag: a fourth-level mid-grade Qiankun Wuji Thunder.

The reason why Xiao Yuxue used a fourth-order intermediate-grade thunder talisman was not because she did not have a fourth-order upper-grade thunder talisman, but because her spiritual consciousness and magic power were unable to push it.

Lu Cheng deliberately hid it for her, and although Wan Zongshao felt the fluctuation of the talisman power, he did not take it seriously.

Finally, a huge blue and white lightning flashed down.

However, this may not be enough to break the Ten Thousand Souls Domain, because inside there is also the Great Five Elements Earthly True Fire that Lu Cheng has used all his strength to dissolve all laws.

At this moment when Wan Zongshao was unable to concentrate all his attention, the damage caused by these two attacks was far greater than the combined effect of two fourth-level spells.

boom.

The law domain collapsed and the magic power backfired.

"Ah..."

Bang, the third-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon Biyun Ruyi shattered in an instant, the protective Zhensha shattered, and the body was broken by thunder and fire.

Lu Cheng even took this opportunity to slash out another ray of sword light.

He wanted to kill Wan Zong Shao Chengluan directly, but the sword light disappeared. After all, this old demon was a top master of the sixteen evil sects in the world. In an instant, his body was filled with rolling black and red mist. Lu Cheng's sword light passed by, and only one hand that was cut off from the elbow fell down, but as for the others, he failed to get it.

Damage to the physical body is already an extremely serious injury that will affect the future path of the cultivator. Before reaching the Golden Core realm, a huge amount of resources will be needed to repair the physical body.

"Damn it, just half a step away!"

Seeing Wan Zong Shao escape, Xiao Yuxue gritted her teeth in hatred and almost chased after him herself. But after taking a few steps, she remembered that she was no match for him and turned back to Lu Cheng.

"Brother Lu, you are amazing. I didn't know your swordsmanship was so advanced. You are indeed a descendant of the ancient sword immortal lineage. Can you teach me swordsmanship when you return?"

Xiao Yuxue's eyes were almost shining at this moment. She and her sister Xiao Yuhong were not ranked in the disciple ranking. The one with higher magic power was the senior sister, and the one with lower magic power was the junior sister. Xiao Yuxue's magic power level was higher than Lu Cheng's, but after this battle, the little girl admired him so much that she called him senior brother willingly, but she wanted to learn swordsmanship and get back the benefits with interest.

He crossed a great realm and defeated the evil monster, who was not in the initial stage of Ningsha or the heir of a third or fourth-rate sect in the Xuanmen. With the magic power he just showed, he must be a tough guy among at least the sixteen evil sects in the world, or even the four major demon sects.

Such a person was actually defeated head-on?

Xiao Yuxue now hardly believes that this is reality. It seems that such a thing can only happen in ancient legends.

But as soon as Xiao Yuxue approached, several acupuncture points on Lu Cheng's body burst, and he couldn't suppress the spurt of blood from his mouth, spraying all over Xiao Yuxue's face.

Spiritual consciousness can be replenished through divine magic, so how can magical power suddenly increase?

Even Lu Cheng could only use the Broken Veins Sword Qi to madly circulate the mana in his body, using one point of mana to create ten points of lethality and power. Although Wan Zongshao was defeated and fled, in fact, Lu Cheng was also close to the state of being exhausted. After all, the gap in the realm of mana between the two was extremely huge.

"Brother Lu, take this pill."

Xiao Yuxue ignored the blood on her face and body, flew over and hugged Lu Cheng, who was about to fall, and fed him the elixir.

Then, Xiao Yuxue took out her Ten Thousand Beasts Talisman. She took a look at it, gritted her teeth, and lit it with magic fire.

This talisman of ten thousand beasts is not easy to refine even for parents, and it is given to me so that I can use it to save my life when I encounter life-threatening danger in the future.

When Xiao Yuxue was trapped in the magic domain, her first thought was to seek revenge and counterattack. At the same time, she was also worried that the Talisman of Ten Thousand Beasts would lose its effectiveness in that strange magic domain.

As a result, after a fourth-level thunder talisman, the evil cultivator escaped. Xiao Yuxue thought that the Ten Thousand Beasts Talisman could be saved, but looking at Senior Brother Lu's condition at this moment, Xiao Yuxue knew that it could not be saved and activated it immediately.

As the Ten Thousand Beasts Talisman was activated, an invisible ripple spread out in all directions, covering the area. All disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, no matter what they were doing, had to rush here immediately to rescue the cultivator who activated the talisman. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed!
"Brother Lu, hold on for a while longer, someone will come to rescue us soon."

As Xiao Yuxue spoke, she hugged Lu Cheng and reached out to input magic power into him.

"I'm fine. Let's hide now to prevent that guy from coming back to kill us." What Lu Cheng said at this time was not empty words to comfort Xiao Yuxue, but the self-destructive Broken Meridian Sword Qi was easy to release but difficult to retract. This sword energy method created by Lu Cheng himself can only exert its highest power when one puts himself in a desperate situation and strikes with ruthless sword strikes.

He had risked his life to save Xiao Yuxue before. His sword was ruthless and his meridian-breaking sword energy had improved, but it also put a greater burden on himself.

If Lu Cheng had used all his strength just now, he could indeed have killed Wan Zongshao, but the sword energy would have damaged him, and he would probably have suffered internal injuries that would be difficult to recover from.

As for now, he took elixirs externally and used the Five Elements Seal to heal his wounds internally. Although he was damaged, it was not as bad as his foundation. He even recovered faster than the other party.

"My Meridian-Severing Sword Qi has incorporated many blood nerve techniques. I sacrifice blood to the sword, I sacrifice blood to the sword..."

The righteous swordsmanship abstains from killing and cherishes life. It always prioritizes preserving oneself first, and then defeating and killing the enemy. Leave room for others, and also for yourself. Sometimes, this is the way to survive.

The purpose of practicing Taoism is to achieve immortality, and swordsmanship is only a means to protect the Tao. It is majestic and magnificent.

But in Lu Cheng's opinion, such a gentle state of mind is perfect for health preservation and cultivation. But for killing people?
In sword fights, it is often a life-and-death struggle. When necessary, you have to be willing to injure yourself, or even put yourself to death, in order to kill your opponent at the lowest cost and gain a chance to live.

Although today's battle was extremely difficult, it allowed Lu Cheng to gain a great deal of insight into spiritual practice. Although he didn't want to, he had to admit that he had made great progress in his comprehension of the concept of blood nerves.

"Let's find a suitable place to hide. The spell you just cast will soon attract many monks from our sect to come to the rescue. As long as we hide for a while, the evil cultivator will have to retreat."

When the Ten Thousand Beasts Talisman was activated, Lu Cheng also felt a sense of it, so he knew the effect of this talisman.

"He won't just run away?"

"...I don't think so. We are one realm weaker than him and we cut off one of his arms. He is extremely angry with us at this moment. He should know that if he retreats now, he will never be able to take revenge on us in this lifetime. Now we just have to see when he can react and regain his courage."

"Ah."

Xiao Yuxue flew down holding Lu Cheng, her little face red.

She had a lively personality and would not care about the differences between men and women at this time and in this situation. But after all, this was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with a man like this. At first, it was fine, but as time went on, Xiao Yuxue's face became more and more red, and gradually even her ears turned red.

Demonic monks don't care about matters between men and women. Orthodox monks practice dual cultivation and take advantage of each other to enhance their magic power. They also pay attention to being in love with each other. There are many demonic monks, and there are many female monks with high magic power who keep male favorites. There were countless princesses in the previous dynasty who had three thousand male lovers. This generation is also open-minded.

It's just that Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang practiced the Taoism of the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts and had special bloodlines, so they were very strict in disciplining their two daughters, fearing that they would become addicted to matters of sex and neglect their Taoism, leaving them with nothing to do in the future.

Therefore, Xiao Yuxue had almost no contact with men since she was a child, and at this moment her face was so red that it was almost steaming.

Lu Cheng gradually noticed this and began to want to fly himself.

He tried to pull his arm out but failed. Xiao Yuxue's mind was wandering at this time and the strength of her arm gradually increased, almost breaking Lu Cheng's arm.

"Junior sister, junior sister...it's about to break!"

Lu Cheng wanted to endure it at first, but later he found that this little girl was extremely strong. He couldn't attack Xiao Yuxue, so he could only beg for mercy.

"Ah? Ah!! Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"call."

Lu Cheng pulled his arm free and looked at Xiao Yuxue in surprise, knowing that she must have inherited the Heavenly Dragon's true blood from his uncle, and her body was inherently much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

It's just that Madam Baoxiang, the master's wife, rarely takes action. No one knows what kind of bloodline the master's wife has, but she actually raised such a little daughter who is as white as jade and snow and has amazing brute force.
