Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 110 Return to the Palace of Beasts
There are many cultivators in the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation. They do not practice magic but martial arts instead. Relying on their powerful magic bodies and fierce close combat skills, they dominate the world.

In comparison, Zhuang Baodong is already considered a relatively traditional cultivator. He is proficient in body magic and Qi training. The various special magic weapons on his body are glowing with a faint aura, all of which can enhance his magic power and fist strength.

Although practicing Qigong is not as powerful as practicing the pure combination of magic and martial arts, it has more promising prospects for cultivation. Zhuang Baodong believes that he has chosen the best path.

The Earth-Destroying Fist is more concentrated and violent than the Earth-Splitting Fist.

At this moment, from high in the sky, he struck down fiercely, and the dense punches fell to the ground and exploded loudly. The camels and traveling merchants in the caravan were all affected, and countless people were killed and injured.

Boom boom boom boom…

At this time, Lu Cheng had no time to care about others. The five-colored sword light shuttled back and forth to avoid the magic fist. Sometimes he was unable to avoid it and just flew the sword to resist and dissipate the force.

The ochre-colored fist force and the flying sword intersected, making clanging sounds.

Because of the spatial distance between the two sides, Lu Cheng could only defend and not counterattack, and it could be said that he was completely at a disadvantage.

"This person's cultivation is slightly inferior to that evil cultivator from Wandering Soul City, but his character is more ruthless and difficult to deal with."

"what!"

At this moment, a scream came from Xiao Yuxue.

Xiao Yuxue's swordsmanship was not as good as Lu Cheng's, and she was unable to absorb the force, so her flying sword was knocked away by the Earth-Destroying Fist. In a flash, most of her body and several vital parts were exposed to Zhuang Baodong's fist, and a yellowish-brown fist was already approaching her.

when.

Lu Cheng flew his sword across, and the Flying Sword Pharmacist vibrated and rang slightly several times, removing most of the force from the Earth-Destroying Fist. The remaining force from the Pharmacist was enough to bear it, and it immediately turned into a sword rainbow, carrying Xiao Yuxue and flew back, landing next to Lu Cheng.

"Junior Sister Xiao, let's do it like before. I will defend and you will activate the talisman to attack." Xiao Yuxue only used a fourth-rank thunder talisman in the last fight. Lu Cheng estimated that her worth must be more than that. What's more, this is already the territory of the Northern Sect in the Western Region. The louder the battle, the greater the possibility of attracting the attention of the Northern Sect cultivators.

"it is good!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yuxue agreed without any hesitation. After a little thought, she took out a talisman from her Qiankun bag and began to chant with her eyes closed.

More Earth-Destroying Fists came down like a rainstorm.

However, Zhuang Baodong encountered the same problem as Wan Zongshao. The guy below was surrounded by five-colored sword lights, and there seemed to be twisted magic fire burning on his body, which consumed his own magic power. He tried his best to disperse, transform and eliminate all the punches he threw at him.

It is not difficult to suppress the opponent, but it is impossible to overwhelm him in a short time and it is difficult to accumulate advantages to win.

"Sword Heart Enlightenment? I have always thought that only the Taoist priests and nuns of the Eight Scenery Sect could master this sword skill. I never expected to see it in a younger generation of the same sect today! Wonderful, wonderful."

"But this is the Northern Sect's territory. It will be disadvantageous to me if it drags on for too long."

As early as the first time the two sides fought, Zhuang Baodong had suspected that Lu Cheng had cultivated a sword-heart-clearing technique because of his strange sword skills.

I'm just not sure.

At this moment it was confirmed, but for him, this was not good news. A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of this fat Taoist.

Many times, the internal conflicts within the same sect are more cruel and vicious than the sect wars between different sects.

Many people in the Tongxuan Realm believed that the dispute between the Southern and Northern Sects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace might very well be the beginning of the decline of this ancient sect.

Moreover, Zhuang Baodong did not intend to allow a talented swordsman to emerge among his peers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace who could compete with him.

"call."

As his magic power was secretly activated, forked horns like a deer slowly grew on Zhuang Baodong's forehead, dark earth-colored scales appeared on his skin, red mane grew from his neck to his back, and even his pupils took on a dark gold color, making him look like a wild beast or a god.

"Wow, this is really three of the twelve zodiac signs. This guy looks like a pig and is as fierce as a tiger, but it turns out that he is cultivating the bloodline of the mirage dragon!"

Mirage dragon, a close relative of the dragon.

The "Sancai Tuhui" says that the mirage dragon "is similar to a Chi dragon, with horns and ears, and a red mane on its back. When it exhales, it turns into towers and terraces, which will be visible when it rains. When it exhales, it turns into smoke, which can be smelled a hundred steps away. When the smoke comes out of it, it turns into pavilions and terraces."

Many of the dragon's close relatives are no less powerful than real dragons when they grow up. Flood dragons are ferocious and aggressive, and are almost as good as real dragons in close combat.

Mirage dragons are good at illusions. They spit out mirage gas to create illusions with amazing effectiveness. Their main purpose is to lure living creatures into their mouths.

According to old legends, some elderly mirage dragons are followed by many living beings who come voluntarily and are immersed in the dream created by the mirage and are unwilling to leave.

In that dream, immortality, emperors, generals, gold, stone, pearls, jade, beauties in the palace, all the rare things in the world are at your fingertips. For these, you would not care even if it means risking being eaten by a mirage dragon.

A cultivator who cultivates this bloodline would of course be skilled in using illusions to control others.

"The next punch will kill you!"

After activating the Mirage Dragon's True Blood to its full potential, the originally amiable fat man seemed to have acquired some majesty and murderous intent.

The spiritual consciousness was transmitted into Lu Cheng's heart below, directly affecting his mind.

High in the sky, Zhuang Baodong took deep breaths, breathing in and out, like a giant whale swallowing water. He sensed the various vital energies between heaven and earth, forming an internal and external cycle with his own true evil, interacting with each other, and his powerful magic power became faster and faster and more destructive.

The next moment, Zhuang Baodong's entire body turned into an earth-yellow fist, inside which one could see the true evil that was condensed and compressed to the extreme. Then, with an attitude of holding Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, he slammed towards Lu City below.

Boom boom boom.

All the survivors of the caravan held their heads in fear at this moment. In their perception, it seemed as if they saw a meteorite falling to the west and a disaster was imminent.

"Well done!"

Taoist Lu Cheng below had five-colored sword lights running around his body, guiding and absorbing the five elements of vital energy to gather together. Dazzling light shone from his entire body, wrapping him in a huge five-colored sword light ball.

Finally, this ball of five-colored light rose from the ground and gradually evolved into a dazzling five-colored divine sword that reversed and went up.

Fists, swords, clashes.

Clang.

Boom.

A large amount of heaven and earth energy spread out, causing shockwaves that even shocked Xiao Yuxue, who was concentrating all her energy on holding the talisman. She interrupted her magic power and looked up.

However, Xiao Yuxue was shocked to find that Zhuang Baodong was still standing in the air, and Senior Brother Lu Cheng was still standing in front of her.

The falling of the giant fist and the slashing of the five-colored sword were all illusions and nothing happened.

The mirage dragon's illusion was evenly matched with the sword intent.

The "gods" of the two truly affected the survivors in the caravan and Xiao Yuxue, making them believe that the fake was real. If this mistake had happened in a real fight, it would have been fatal.

Even in extreme cases, these two people can use their "God" power to directly kill everyone present except each other.

"He is at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. His sword heart is clear and his sword intention is powerful. Could this guy be the reincarnation of some old monster?"

"Is there really such a thing in this world!?"

Although such a secret method of reincarnation has not yet appeared in the Tongxuan Realm, the Bajing Sect has determined through years of research and demonstration that the souls of cultivators at the Jindan Zhenren realm can indeed withstand rebirth through possession of another body, but such a mature secret method has not yet been developed.

However, it does not rule out that there are extraordinary people in this world who have already mastered this technique.

Getting rid of such thoughts in his mind, Zhuang Baodong clasped his fists and charged forward with a bang. If Lu Cheng had been deceived by his illusion just now, he would have been smashed to pieces by now.

But there is nothing to worry about now. If I can’t defeat others with my skills, I’ll just defeat them with my strength!
Zhuang Baodong is a genuine foundation-building cultivator, and his Condensed Evil Power has been cultivated to an unparalleled level. Therefore, although he has only reached the third level of Condensed Evil Power, his accumulated power is probably higher than that of Wan Zongshao from Youhun City.

Lu Cheng felt that he was firmly locked in by Zhuang Baodong's consciousness. Unless he could teleport a hundred miles away in one breath, he would almost certainly not be able to avoid this attack and would have to take it.

However, given the difference in magic power between the two sides and the strength of the punch, Lu Cheng had no doubt that he could not take the punch, nor could he remove the force of the punch.

"Then let it come faster."

As he waved his sleeves, a dark golden light floated, and the Jiuli Ding temporarily fell asleep, unable to capture the monsters anymore, but it could still summon the monsters inside.

"Woof woof woof woof!"

It sounded like the barking of a domestic dog, but the sound was loud enough to fill the heaven and earth.

A short-haired, white, thin-waisted dog, with a body as big as an elephant and a head as high as two or three stories. At this moment, it stood beside Lu Cheng with red eyes and sharp teeth, raising its head and barking and sucking.

The huge suction force formed suddenly dragged Zhuang Baodong, who was flying downwards, down violently.

The innate magical power, "the sun and the moon in the belly" swallows the sky and the earth!
This suction caused Zhuang Baodong's fist power to gradually become uncontrollable and deviated, but Zhuang Baodong frowned slightly and attacked even more fiercely.

"Is it the Blood Refining Sacrifice of the Wandering Soul City?"

Of course, Zhuang Baodong couldn't think of anything else. Facing the scene before him, all he could think of was the blood-refining divine sacrifice technique, which could allow a foundation-building cultivator to barely control a fourth-order monster as his own killing move.

However, practicing this kind of magic can easily backfire, and the controlled monsters will become sluggish, clumsy and without any spirituality.

But at the same time, Lu Cheng took out a flying sword stored in the ring, poured all his remaining spiritual power into it, and shot out without retreating.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"

Although Lu Cheng's swordsmanship is good enough, his spiritual awareness and magical power are insufficient. This sword can't reach the level of sword energy and thunder sound at all.

But at this moment, Zhuang Baodong was bombarded by the sun and moon in the belly of the fourth-level dog demon.

Both sides accelerated at full speed, causing Lu Cheng's sword to reach the instantaneous speed and explosive killing power of the sword energy thunder sound. At the critical moment of life and death, Zhuang Baodong instinctively turned sideways.

Clang.

stab.

boom.

The sword light swept past, cutting the fist tip, and then shattered directly, tearing off half of Zhuang Baodong's body, and blood spurted out.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Zhuang Baodong had never thought that he would be so seriously injured by the sword of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm. His head, face, chest, abdomen and half of his lower body were all cut off. Blood was dripping, and the broken sword fragments penetrated deeply into his body.

The fourth-rank dog demon saw an opportunity and pounced on it silently, but was chopped away by Zhuang Baodong, who suddenly grew a dragon tail behind him, and the dragon tail turned into golden light and dissipated.

With his spiritual power exhausted, Lu Cheng rushed forward with a sword in hand. The two men passed each other in an instant. A deep sword mark appeared on Zhuang Baodong's shoulder, and a fist mark appeared on Lu Cheng's chest. His Taoist robe was torn, and the fist mark was engraved in the bone.

His body fell, and his sword was leaning on the ground.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yuxue didn't bother to activate the talisman at this time. She threw it away, then made up her mind with sword gestures and used the sword to cut off Zhuang Baodong's head.

"When men fight, women get out of the way!"

The dragon's tail behind Zhuang Baodong rolled up and caught the Yuxue Sword that was coming towards him. He exerted force and clamped it. The Yuxue Sword's spiritual power was immediately greatly damaged and it was no longer a threat.

Fortunately, Zhuang Baodong had no time to care about Xiao Yuxue at this time. A straight blood mark began to appear more and more on his head, face, chest and abdomen. Zhuang Baodong frantically used his magic power to squeeze the blood line from both sides, trying to suppress the sword mark and prevent it from spreading and worsening.

"Just half a point, just half a point, this sword would really kill me!"

"My ambition, my Taoism, my Mirage Dragon bloodline, my Lady Sky Fox! How can I die here..."

Strong desire can also bring strength to the mind. As he almost became half human, half dragon, Zhuang Baodong finally suppressed the internal injuries caused by the sword energy. He turned around and saw the seriously injured Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue who was dragging his body away.

"Miss Yuxue, as long as you are willing to follow me obediently, I promise not to kill your brother. Come, follow me!"

Zhuang Baodong, who was already half human and half dragon, walked towards Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue step by step. However, he saw Lu Cheng pressing the backs of the girl's hands in Xiao Yuxue's arms, and five colored sword lights of blue, red, white, yellow and black appeared around the two of them, with the sword tips pointing straight at them.

"After fighting to this point, I admit that I am inferior to you, but if we continue to fight, you may kill me, but you will also suffer injuries that you will never recover from in this lifetime. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Cough cough..."

Lu Cheng's spiritual power had been consumed to the limit, but he lay in a soft place, holding Xiao Yuxue's hands, his expression still calm yet revealing ruthlessness.

Lu Cheng himself didn't know to what extent his sword skills could be performed with the cooperation of Xiao Yuxue. If he had Xiao Yuxue's ninth-level magic power of foundation building, Zhuang Baodong would have been beheaded by now.

Maybe he could display two or three points of his swordsmanship, or maybe four or five points. Who knows? Lu Cheng didn't know either, but he knew that Zhuang Baodong didn't know either.

"Do you think I was brought up by being scared?"

Although he said harsh words, Zhuang Baodong stopped.

It waved its hand casually and used its magic power to capture a traveling merchant in the distance. It bit him to death and then swallowed a large amount of flesh and blood. The flesh and blood in its stomach made the beast pupils in its eyes more and more stable.

The Southern Sect, the incarnation of all beasts, is more focused on abandoning saints and wisdom, following the laws of nature. Compared with the Northern Sect, it has both disadvantages and advantages.

If one does not regard himself as a human being, it is easier for him to transform into a beast. However, the general outline of the transformation of the true spirit of the Northern School of Xuanmen emphasizes that one's own human nature is the leading factor.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the sound of escaping light tearing through the atmosphere came from the distant horizon. Although it was still unclear who was making it, it was two condensed escaping lights, both of them were masters in the Refining Gang realm.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Baodong's expression froze, and finally he turned around and quickly dived into the sand, disappearing in an instant.

"call……"

Xiao Yuxue, who was extremely nervous, had just let out a breath when Lu Cheng suddenly held down her arms.

The two swords join together to create a stunning rainbow

In mid-air, two sword lights, one white and one red, intertwined into a scissor-shaped light. The sword forces interacted and superimposed on each other, penetrating obliquely into a patch of sand to the side of the two people.

prick.

The two swords pierced the ground, and blood was faintly flowing out.

Another moment.

"…It's okay. He's really gone this time."

"call."

Xiao Yuxue let out another long breath, but this time it was not as deep as the last time, for fear of attracting the scary Zhuang Baodong back again.

"So my sister had fought with such a scary person before? She told me so easily at the time, but she just repeatedly told me to be careful of this person."

"Junior sister! Are you okay?"

"Junior Sister Yuxue, what happened to Old Nine?"

At this moment, two beams of light from the sky finally flew down.

It was none other than Nangong Jing, the fourth disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace, and Niu Meng, the fifth disciple. They had been searching for Xiao Yuxue almost frantically for some time. When their disciples noticed something unusual about this place, they immediately reported back, and Nangong Jing and Niu Meng also quickly rushed over.

When he saw that Xiao Yuxue was dirty but at least alive and well, Nangong Jing finally let go of the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for days. Even if he still had the guilt, it was no longer unbearable.

But when he saw Xiao Yuxue holding his ninth junior brother Lu Cheng tightly in her arms, Nangong Jing was slightly stunned, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his handsome face.

He knew clearly that due to the relationship between the True Dragon bloodline and the Heavenly Fox bloodline, his master and his mistress had always been extremely strict with their two daughters.

Growing up, these two junior sisters of mine have never even touched the little finger of a man other than their father.

I am worried that the two of them will become obsessed with love and neglect their spiritual practice.

Faced with two such beautiful junior sisters who were as white as jade and as stunningly beautiful as a city, it was impossible to say that Nangong Jing had never been moved at all.

But now, it seems that he has fallen far behind this ninth junior brother who has just joined the sect a few days ago.

"Junior Sister Yuxue, what happened to Junior Brother Nine?"

Nangong Jing did not show anything unusual, but walked forward and asked with concern.

"Brother Lu was just exhausted for a moment. Fourth Brother, Nanzong Zhuang Baodong just came to attack us and was repelled by Brother Lu. Go and kill him and avenge Brother Lu!"

"What? Zhuang Baodong took action? And was repelled by Lao Jiu?"

The time of pursuit was gradually consumed in the two people's surprise and disbelief. In the end, Nangong Jing went to chase and kill Zhuang Baodong half-believing and half-doubting, while Niu Meng took Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace. This personnel arrangement was proposed by Xiao Yuxue.

She couldn't explain why she made this choice, but as a girl, Xiao Yuxue vaguely knew that Fourth Senior Brother had a good impression of her.

Originally this was nothing, but at this moment Xiao Yuxue just wanted to stay away from Fourth Senior Brother.

Lu Cheng was unaware of all these things.

After the two Lian Gang monks landed, he immediately fell into a state of deep sleep. He had fought with two monks in the Ning Sha realm before and after. Although the consumption of his mana was minor, the mental exhaustion really made Lu Cheng extremely tired. At this time, he could no longer care about anything else.

A few days later, in the Western Region's Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.

After listening to his youngest daughter's account of the whole incident, Huang Longzi asked Xiao Yuxue, Niu Meng and others to go down first.

In the spacious hall, only two elders, Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang, were left.

"I originally thought that with the stingy nature of the old man Chi Shen Zi, he would definitely not assign any outstanding disciples to me, and even if he did, I would be difficult to teach. But I didn't expect that this boy has already mastered the essence of the old man's swordsmanship. If he can get my true teachings, after a hundred years, maybe he can really set up his own school and become the pillar of my lineage!"

"Junior Brother Chi Shenzi is a straightforward person, not as bad as you say. Compared to this, did you notice the look in Yuxue's eyes when she mentioned Lu Cheng just now? It was almost glowing, and the way she addressed Lu Cheng, when have you ever seen your daughter willingly call someone whose magical power level is not as good as hers, "Junior Brother"? "

"Ah, I really hadn't noticed this. This Lu Cheng, he has a concubine." Huang Longzi was a little displeased when he heard this. Although he also knew deeply that it is better to open up than to block, letting his two daughters have someone they love is much safer than having them under the care of their parents.

However, he did not like his daughter's choice of a husband who already had a wife or concubine. Huang Longzi's beloved daughter should have more choices.

"What's wrong with having a concubine? An experienced man knows how to be gentle. It's not like he has a wife. If she's gentle, let her stay and serve them. If she's jealous, give her some money and send her away. Also, don't just talk about Lao Jiu. Don't you have a concubine? I don't like talking about you."

Mrs. Baoxiang's words at this time already had the intention of protecting her future son-in-law. She knew in her heart that her two daughters were proud and arrogant, and it would be fine if they didn't have any feelings for him, but if they did, they would not easily change their feelings.

In fact, if Lu Cheng had not saved her life several times this time and demonstrated his sword skills that convinced Xiao Yuxue, in another scenario, it would have been difficult for Lu Cheng to gain so much favor from Xiao Yuxue.

The Xiao sisters were born into a family of ascetics, and their family education was rather alternative. Their pursuit of immortality far outweighed other things, and their requirement for a Taoist partner was that he or she must be of great help to them in practicing or protecting the Tao. In addition, Lu Cheng himself had a good appearance and a clean background, so these were all advantages.

At least the disciples of her father are more intimate and reliable than outsiders. These are the objective considerations in the daughter's heart.

Thunder and Fire Palace, it was a big dream. Lu Cheng woke up in the chaos and darkness. The first thing he saw was the crying faces of Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger.

"Okay, it's nothing serious. I just had a good sleep."

Lu Cheng once again comforted his concubine and daughter with kind words. Then he looked around the Leihuo Palace, thinking back to everything that had happened before, and it felt as if he was in another world.
