Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 128: Killing with a Sword

The Eight Scenic Spots, the current ranking of the Eight Scenic Spots Dharma Assembly.

Upper realm: Qi Jingyuan of Dongyang Orthodox Sect, Xuan Ce of Huoyun Mansion, Jiao Shoulin of Dongyang Orthodox Sect.

Middle Realm: Wu Shutang of Dongyang Orthodox Sect, Zhong Chengyu of Bajing Sect, and Fu Chenghao of Dongyang Orthodox Sect.

Initial realm: Fan Xiuhui of Dongyang Orthodox Sect, Gong Lucheng, the incarnation of all beasts.

The battle between Fu Chenghao and Lu Cheng should be the last battle of this Eight Scenery Conference, because the rule is that only lower-level cultivators can challenge upper-level cultivators, and the three upper-level cultivators, Qi Jingyuan and Xuan Ce, are overwhelmingly powerful to others.

Even Jiao Shoulin, who is the third in the upper realm, is not a match for others. Therefore, it is determined that the middle realm cultivators will not challenge the upper realm cultivators.

Fan Xiuhui, a member of the Dongyang Orthodox Sect at the initial stage, is unfathomable. Even Fu Chenghao and Lu Cheng are not sure of defeating her.

However, Fan Xiuhui is a person with a steady temperament and a reserved edge. As long as she has enough resources for cultivation, she will not take risks or make enemies easily.

Therefore, the possibility that she would challenge others is not high.

Above the Lijian Cliff, Fu Chenghao, dressed in a dark Taoist robe, immediately sacrificed a purple lotus and summoned the six incarnations of great vows to surround him, taking steady steps.

Although he was angry, he knew that he could not lose this battle. If he lost this battle, he would be a stepping stone for the Taoist in front of him with the name of Dongyang Orthodox Church for thousands of years. Even if he was the grandson of the elder of the sect, he would be punished terribly. Therefore, he was angry and cast spells conservatively.

On the other hand, when Lu Cheng raised his hand, a dark golden light flowed out.

boom!
At this moment, the vital energy of heaven and earth above Lijian Cliff suddenly became violently turbulent.

A hole appeared that seemed to be able to swallow everything endlessly. The void condensed into a vortex of magic power and enveloped it at an astonishingly fierce speed.

"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 dog with a thin waist, its body as big as an elephant and its head alone as high as two or three stories high, was flying in the wind and standing high in the void, with red eyes and sharp teeth, barking and sucking.

It formed a huge suction force, which instantly immobilized Fu Chenghao who was casting a spell.

The innate magical power of a fourth-level demon beast, the "sun and moon in its belly" swallows the sky and eats the earth!
In fact, having just swallowed a fourth-level ghost dragon, the fourth-level dog demon was now surrounded by ghost energy. If it really swallowed something else, it would probably die.

But if Fu Chenghao let it happen in this situation, he would be unworthy of the title of a hero.

Although he was sucked in and displaced a little, with demonic energy leaking out of his body, Fu Chenghao was able to keep himself steady by practicing the magic formula in his hands, relying on the combined power of the Dark Lotus and the six incarnations of the power of vows. Although this magical power was powerful, it was obviously not able to last long.

However, Lu Cheng threw out an iron ring, which merged into the black hole of vitality formed by the sun and the moon in his abdomen. At the same time, he pointed his palm at Fu Chenghao and pressed it, seizing the sky and transforming it into a spirit!

"The five energies circulate, and the Heaven-Seizing Spiritual Transformation Technique!"

The cultivators from the Ranmu Mountain Forest Clan in southern Xinjiang who were present cried out in surprise.

With the Heaven-stealing and Soul-transforming Art combined with the sun and the moon in the belly, the power of the black hole that could swallow the heaven and earth suddenly surged.

Fu Chenghao found it increasingly difficult to cope with the situation.

"Okay, then I'll give it to you!"

Feeling that the suction force was getting stronger and stronger, and the black hole was expanding and descending faster and faster, a murderous look flashed in Fu Chenghao's eyes, and he mobilized his own power and the magic power of the six wishes to exert a huge magic power.

It collided head-on with the descending black hole.

Under such a huge suction, it is difficult to complete a fourth-level spell. Although it was a little slower, Fu Chenghao finally made the same judgment and choice as Ye Cheng did back then.

No matter how powerful the magic is, there is a limit to the bodies and meridians of cultivators and monsters.

The purple-black ball of mana collided with the continuously descending black chaos hole, and the mana overflowed and violently neutralized it.

During the whole process, the fourth-order dog demon let out a mournful howl, and turned into a dark golden stream of light and flew back into Lu Cheng's body. Purple energy rose from Lu Cheng's body, and his magic power was forcibly accelerated to the peak of the ninth level of foundation building.

With a clang, the Star-Catching Ring flew back, its spiritual light greatly damaged. Just like the injured fourth-order dog demon, it could no longer be relied upon in this battle.

Lu Cheng's current ninth-level foundation-building magic power is an application of the Great Method of Stealing the Sky and Transforming the Soul. The eighth and ninth-level magic power is falsely increased. Even if he really devours all the magic power of a cultivator, at most only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it can be converted into himself. How is it possible to seize so much magic power in one move?

This is a method of sword fighting application, but not a method of cultivation.

The Star-Capture Ring, which was badly damaged in the head-on fight, flew in the air and fell back into the Storage Ring. At the same time, Lu Cheng formed a sword gesture with his right hand at his Dantian, tracing it upwards from his Dantian to his chest, Tanzhong, and then to his larynx.

Then the Taoist raised his head, puffed out his chest, and looked towards the place where Fu Chenghao was standing riding the wind, and said: Boom.

A stream of black and red blazing fire swept over like a volcanic eruption. This time, it used up all of the Five Elements' True Fire, which meandered like a black and red flaming dragon and rushed towards the evil cultivator Fu Chenghao.

The fire dragon attacked him, and the energy of heaven and earth around him seemed to be burning.

"What the hell is going on with this guy!?"

Two Taoist methods, one fourth-level method, and one super-level method, directly overwhelmed Fu Chenghao and made him unable to cope with it for a while.

He had just lost a lot of magic power at this time, and the Dark Lotus was not a fourth-level defensive magic weapon, so Fu Chenghao raised his hand and threw out a small flag without injecting too much magic power. With the minimum power of this fourth-level intermediate-grade Fire-Capture Flag, it should be enough to block the attack and buy himself time to hold the spell and recover his energy.

"No matter what, no matter how many tricks he has, he is only a foundation-building cultivator after all. I don't believe that his fourth-level Taoist skills are endless and can be used all the time!"

Being steady and unmoving, and using force to overwhelm the opponent, this is indeed the most stable and correct response strategy for a cultivator of a higher level when facing a cultivator of a lower level.

But almost at the moment when the black and red flame dragon circled, bit, and disappeared, Fu Chenghao suddenly heard bursts of tearing sounds. At the same time, with his mind connected, he suddenly sensed that his fourth-grade intermediate magic weapon, the Fire Flag, had been greatly damaged.

"how is this possible?"

Fu Chenghao raised his head suddenly, and saw a crazy Taoist with bloodshot eyes, holding a long snake staff that looked like a sword or a staff, rushing towards him to kill him.

Water Illusion Escape and Fire Escape. Although the two escape techniques were not very well connected, Fu Chenghao was distracted by Lu Cheng's two powerful fourth-level spells and did not notice that Lu Cheng had already followed the flames and pounced on him.

At this moment, what Lu Cheng was holding in his hand was not any of the Five Elements Flying Swords, but a dark green snake staff.

At this time, the snake staff was emitting fierce sword energy. Under Lu Cheng's control, it quickly cut through the Fire Capture Flag, allowing Lu Cheng to get close to Fu Chenghao.

"It's incredible. Has the Taoism of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace reached such a high level? The dog demon just now was fine. If it was a natal demon beast and there was enough luck, it would not be a big deal to raise a high-level dog demon that obeys orders. Although it is rare, it is not surprising. But this Green Scaled Snake King... I have never seen it before, never seen it before!"

During the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly at Lijian Cliff, an old master of the Jindan Sect said this with emotion.

Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, insect-type demons have almost no intelligence. Even through cultivation, their intelligence increases very slowly. Without intelligence, it is difficult for cultivators to tame them successfully. Especially for cold-blooded, highly poisonous, man-eating demon beasts like the Green Scaled Snake, they are extremely dangerous.

But at this moment, the Green Scaled Snake King, which was obviously already at the fourth level, was being controlled in the hands of Lu Cheng, a monk from the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace, and was manipulated so smoothly that one would almost think it was a fourth-level magical weapon.

The Jindan Grandmaster has the ability to see through everything at a glance, and Fu Chenghao, who was caught in Lu Cheng's close combat swordsmanship, could not have such vision. The Tongxuan Realm already had countless extraordinary skills and secrets, and Fu Chenghao thought that Lu Cheng could use a fourth-level magic weapon freely with the help of some method.

It was because of this misunderstanding that he suffered a great loss.

For a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage to defeat a cultivator at the Condensing Evil stage, just the protective True Evil of the Condensing Evil cultivator is a considerable challenge.

However, Lu Cheng's murderous intent was too strong and his swordsmanship was too high. The seven figures were fighting in close combat, and dozens of moves were exchanged in just a moment.

Fu Chenghao's two incarnations of will were killed by the real evil, and he retreated quickly while the blood mist was dissipating.

At their master's command, they wanted to recover for a while before rejoining the fight.

However, although the two incarnations of willpower only had minor sword wounds, a green aura quickly spread. The next moment, the two incarnations of willpower in the Condensed Evil Realm suddenly turned into green blood, spilled down, and died.

Fu Chenghao was being hunted down by Lu Cheng at this time. Yes, he was being hunted down by Lu Cheng while being surrounded and protected by four incarnations of willpower.

Although the incarnation of the power of will still seems to possess its own spirituality, it ultimately destroys the spiritual intelligence of the cultivator.

The silk puppetry of the Tianluo Sect is used to cultivate the dead, but its ideal is to seek life from death. When it is cultivated to the highest level in theory, the dead will regain their intelligence and wisdom, and their souls and spirits will be gathered together as if they were reborn.

The Dongyang Orthodox Church's method of incarnation of the devil can control living people like a magic weapon, but it can actually kill living people. Although it seems that one can be no different from a living person when cultivated to a high level, Fu Chenghao is undoubtedly lacking the necessary skills.

Therefore, in the close combat between the two sides, Fu Chenghao could only rely on himself, rather than those puppets that would eventually be delayed for a moment.

Fu Chenghao was shocked when he sensed the death of his two incarnations of willpower who were good at body refining, but was caught by Lu Cheng's sword heart.

The snake sword pointed diagonally and stabbed, the sword moves were graceful and elegant, the sword energy was sharp and fierce, but the sword intent was extremely sinister, vicious and cunning.

Fu Chenghao tried his best to lean back to avoid it, but he saw the snake head on top of the snake sword suddenly open its eyes, then come alive and pounce on him to bite. The green phosphorus evil spirit and the protective true evil collided violently with each other. Fu Chenghao could even smell the fishy and foul smell from the mouth of the Green Scaled Snake King.

"what!"

With two incarnations of will power having just died, Fu Chenghao certainly knew the consequences of being bitten by the Jade Scale Snake King. If his foundation in Taoism was a little weaker, he might not be able to rescue him in time.

Under the fear of life and death, the magic power in his body began to surge and spread regardless of the load on his meridians, and a fierce demonic energy expanded with his body as the center.

Lu Cheng, who was frantically using sword techniques to chase and kill, suddenly felt that a wall of air was rushing towards him, just like a mortal facing the approaching steel gears. If he did not retreat, he would be crushed to pieces.

With a light sigh in his heart, Lu Cheng acted without the slightest hesitation. He drew his sword and retreated, and when he passed by the four incarnations of willpower who were chasing him, he slashed a few times with his sword. Unfortunately, he failed to break through the true evil that protected their bodies, and his efforts were in vain.

"What a pity, just a little bit short!"

On the Sword Sharpening Cliff, Xiao Yuxue was originally holding her breath nervously, but now she breathed a sigh of relief yet felt a little regretful. At that moment, Xiao Yuxue almost thought she had won.

Senior Brother Lu, wielding a sword alone, has killed his way through the entire Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly. As a result, the reputation of the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace will be enhanced, and people will not dare to look down on him.

"How can it be that easy? At the Foundation Establishment stage, facing the Heavenly Demon Incarnation of the Dongyang Orthodox Sect, it is incredible to kill two Wish Power Incarnations at the Condensation stage... If it were me, I would never retreat with that sword just now. At that time, I should have had the closest chance of victory."

Xiao Yuhong was not as concerned as her sister, but she also cared a lot about the sect's honor and disgrace. Although she had secretly given the Qingxin Nuanyu to Lu Cheng before, Xiao Yuhong had never thought that this junior brother Lu could do such a thing.

Lu Chengyu used the Green Scaled Snake King as a sword and escaped in an extremely obscure and secretive way.

There is probably no other cultivator in this world who can comprehend countless sword intents at the same time like Lu Cheng and be compatible with himself, because when a cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm practices, once he comprehends a sword intent, he will inevitably apply it to his own practice.

For example, if one comprehends the fire sword intent, then all his magic power will naturally be affected in turn. The deeper the comprehension, the more difficult it will be to comprehend the water sword intent, unless he has an extremely high level of comprehension and eventually comprehends the five elements or the water, fire, yin and yang sword intent.

For the cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm, there is not a huge difference in the superiority and inferiority of sword intent itself. It is meaningless to comprehend too much, so it is better to deepen the understanding.

If the sword spirit you cultivate is too complicated, it may conflict with each other and cause harm.

Perhaps the immortal cultivators in the upper realm can comprehend and integrate countless sword intents, but that is beyond the imagination of the cultivators in the secular world.

However, due to his accumulation in the previous life, Lu Cheng mastered dozens or even hundreds of different styles of sword intent. At this moment, he used the extremely evil sword intent to control the Green Scaled Snake King, making the Green Scaled Snake King feel as if it was in an environment that made it feel extremely comfortable. The resistance to Lu Cheng's control was very low. That's why Lu Cheng could control the fourth-order snake monster for a long time as a foundation-building cultivator and fight against many Condensing Evil cultivators. This was not only the result of the poison control of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu.

"call."

Lu Cheng exhaled gently, regulating his mind and the magic power in his body.

The same was true for Fu Chenghao. The quick sword attack just now had caused his protective energy to dissipate, and he was terrified.

Just taking a short breath and recovering.

A huge feeling of shame surged in his heart, facing a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, his fourth-tier defensive magic weapon was destroyed, and his two great incarnations of vows were killed. Just this battle was already extremely embarrassing for him. For a moment, he felt that all around him were voices of mockery, ridicule and contempt.

“…Hahahahaha, good good good!”

"Lu Cheng, you are unparalleled in swordsmanship, right? Then let's see if you can kill these thousands of souls and ghosts!"

As Fu Chenghao waved his hands and made magic gestures, a long dark banner flew out. It was decorated with white bones and surrounded by ghosts. It was the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

The appearance of this magic banner caused whispers from the surrounding monks, but that was all. The Yinshi Master of the White Bone Courtyard had refined the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and was hunted down by the monks from the East China Sea, leaving him with no way to escape. However, when the monks of the Dongyang Orthodox Church sacrificed this banner, the reaction of the monks was not too intense.

On the one hand, the Dongyang Orthodox Church controls the beliefs of the northern barbarians, and most of the souls in these soul banners are the souls of the northern barbarians.

Another aspect is that even if such a forbidden magic weapon is sacrificed, the orthodox religions in the world cannot do anything to the Dongyang Orthodox Church. The reason why the Dongyang Orthodox Church is not very popular in refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is because this demon sect has too many sophisticated and powerful spells and magic weapons, so not many disciples refine them.

However, no one would have thought that Fu Chenghao, as the grandson of a sect elder, would be so greedy for power. This would put the young man from the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace in great danger.

"This is not the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but the Netherworld Bones Banner. I wanted to perform a ritual in secret so as not to attract too much attention. Junior, you die for me!"

Thinking that he had exposed a trump card that had been hidden in the dark, Fu Chenghao was filled with hatred and swung the Netherworld Bone Banner violently.

Boom! A large number of dark souls gushed out, as if the gates of hell had opened. Under the influence of the purple devil fire, they suddenly turned into a river of flames with raging devil flames.

As the fire river appeared, the area within a radius of several hundred feet suddenly changed into a completely different world. All that could be seen was the surging purple-red soul river, and all that could be heard was the sound of the surging river and the wailing and screaming.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner usually has two applications. One is that it is similar to the Ten Thousand Beasts Transformation Banner, which can control the ghost soldiers of the underworld. If one banner can form a formation of millions of ghost soldiers of the underworld, who in this world can resist it?
The Ten Thousand Beasts Transformation Banner uses its own magic power to radiate the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth. Compared with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which collects ten thousand souls, its power is naturally not as strong. Of course, the former can also collect the spirits of ten thousand beasts, but it takes a gradual and gradual approach, and it is much more difficult to sacrifice and refine than the latter.

The second is to gather the power of the underworld, to break cleverness with force, and to suppress all magic. Just like when Yinshi was alive, he used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to suppress Deng Qihe's white jade tower on the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea. No matter how exquisite the changes are, or how powerful the magic weapon is, it cannot fly under the suppression of Ten Thousand Souls, and is naturally useless.

Evil spirits and fierce ghosts ignited by soul fire from all directions flew down. Although Lu Cheng controlled the Green Scaled Snake King as a sword and flew at an extremely fast speed, he was still chased to the point where he had no way to go up to the sky or down to the ground.

These evil spirits are not powerful individually, but there are too many of them. After being killed, they will be taken back by the Netherworld White Bone Banner until their souls are repeatedly killed and completely destroyed.

"No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it is only at the foundation-building stage. I will kill you until your mind and energy are exhausted, and you will still lose in the end."

Under the protection of the four incarnations of the power of vows, Fu Chenghao fought off the encirclement of thousands of souls and at the same time set up layers of defense in front of him. After all, he was still frightened by the swordsmanship and swordsmanship of the Taoist in front of him.
