Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 129: Fusion of the Five Elements Sword Intentions, Becoming Famous in One Battle
In the Eight Scenery Assembly of the Foundation Establishment Realm, no matter who he was facing, Lu Cheng never used his full strength. The Master Yinshi was somewhat impressive, but only somewhat.

It was during the sword-fighting ceremony at the Sword-Sharpening Cliff of the Eight Views that Lu Cheng truly felt the pressure. Although Ding Lianru was seriously injured, she still had a good foundation.

Fu Chenghao was born into a top demon family, and his foundation in Taoism was slightly weak. He probably didn't even have the foundation of earthly establishment, but the foundation of longevity at most. However, the magic skills he practiced, the spells he used, and the magic tools he possessed were more than enough to make up for his shortcomings and even exceed them.

The Changsheng foundation is good at accumulating mana, the supernatural power foundation is powerful in basic life supernatural powers, and the Heavenly Dao foundation has both. But if it is really a life-and-death battle, these may not be better than a top-grade attack magic weapon or a top-grade defense magic weapon. Fu Chenghao is a cultivator who is born with these family inheritances.

The soul river of flames roared and swirled around his body. He was forged in the purple-red devil fire, and seemed to be sublimated into some kind of monster that was difficult for ordinary people to guess. Under the protection of the incarnations of the four wishes, he used his hands to circulate the magic formula to gather energy into a blade. Suddenly, the flames became bright, and a large number of evil spirits were infected and then released. With a sweep, the vast area of ​​​​heaven and earth within Lu Cheng's sight was transformed into a boundless sea of ​​devil flames. The overwhelming purple-red flame tide rolled up and covered most of the sky.

He controlled the sword, turned and dodged, and just as he took a breath, another fierce rainbow came closely.

This is the extreme of offense and defense. Lu Cheng used his snake staff as a sword to wander in the air, but he was still killed by him and had to hide everywhere, and he had nowhere to retreat.

In fact, Fu Chenghao's Netherworld Bone Banner has not yet been fully utilized, at least not as skillfully controlled as that of the Yinshi Master of the Bone Courtyard.

Of course, this is because Fu Chenghao has too many spells and instruments to choose from and practice, so he is certainly not as dedicated as Master Yinshi.

"So you bastard, you have so many options, but you don't even give others a chance to survive."

"The attack was too fierce and too wide, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Once again dodging a ray of demonic flame, Lu Cheng combined his body and sword, found an angle to cut in, and charged forward with the sword.

Close combat swordsmanship is a hundred times more dangerous than long-range sword control, but as long as the swordsmanship is advanced enough, this close combat method can often defeat enemies with higher magical powers. What's more, this is a sword fight in the Eight Scenery Assembly, and there is no way to die. Lu Cheng will never get enough of this advantage.

The snake staff seemed to come alive in his hand... oh... it was alive. The green-scaled snake king danced wildly and bit. Lu Cheng's sword-wielding at this moment was weird, tricky, vicious, venomous, and swift. It could be said that he had brought the evil sword technique that could be performed in the foundation-building stage to a certain peak level.

This sword technique even exceeded the knowledge and self-perceived limits of many famous elders at Lijian Cliff, thus causing many practitioners to exclaim in amazement.

Under the influence of such evil and poisonous sword intent, those evil spirits and fierce ghosts melted rapidly like ice and snow under boiling water.

Lu Cheng controlled the green sword light and rushed into the core surrounded by a large number of skeletons. Fu Chenghao was in the middle of it. At the same time, he controlled the Heavenly Demon Incarnation method and the Netherworld Bone Banner which was not fully completed, which made it impossible for him to control other magic weapons.

As the skeletons and ghosts spun around, two figures collided like meteors. The snake sword in Lu Cheng's hand bent and bit, and it was cold and even more weird and agile than an ordinary flying sword.

Fu Chenghao's face was solemn, his palms rolled, and the purple devil fire was rising. The four incarnations of his will suddenly dispersed behind him, quietly surrounding him like ghosts.

Fu Chenghao is a second-generation immortal, but he is not a good-for-nothing. On the contrary, he is extremely smart. He knows that fighting with a master like Lu Cheng will be extremely beneficial to him, so as soon as his protective true evil spirit is restored, he fights with Lu Cheng to gain experience and grow himself.

“Here!”

Lu Cheng gave a low shout, and the sword light from the snake staff suddenly became like a waterfall, circling Fu Chenghao's real body. At the same time, golden light shone, and the Golden Mist Escape from the Five Elements Escape Technique was instantly deployed. The flying swords combined, increasing the sword speed, and of course the speed was extremely fast. Wherever the sword went, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

The opponent instantly got rid of his spiritual lock. Fu Chenghao raised his eyebrows, and four incarnations of his will suddenly appeared like ghosts. At the same time, he pointed his finger, and thousands of black air surrounded Fu Chenghao's real body and gathered into a ball, turning into a tough light black light shield. He still used force to break cleverness and used magic power to block Lu Cheng's sword-killing move.

Lu Cheng's expression remained unchanged. In addition to controlling the snake staff, the five five elements flying swords of Chunjun, Yaoshi, Baiyu, Chiyan and Cangfeng came out one after another, continuing the five elements sword escape, while the green scale sword energy turned into countless sword shadows, pouring down on Fu Chenghao like a rainstorm.

Every change in the sword escape contains the change of the power of the Five Elements. The Golden Mist Escape, Wood Hide Escape, Water Illusion Escape, Fire Absolute Escape, and Thick Earth Escape are performed in sequence, with the momentum of the four directions and the mutual generation of the Five Elements.

For a moment, Fu Chenghao only felt that the whole world here was filled with the opponent's sword power, and the flying flowers, leaves and dead grass all felt like they were attacking from the sword.

In his heart, he knew that this was an illusion caused by his mind being suppressed by the opponent's sword intent. This was because he had already mastered the Heart-Searching Finger Technique. If he had not mastered it before, under this kind of sword force, even if his cultivation level was far superior, he would probably be defeated and killed.

The Five Elements Sword Escape and the Heavenly Demon Incarnation Technique collided violently, sword fires flew in the air, and bursts of roars erupted as sword energy and demonic fire intertwined.

Fu Chenghao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he used the Heavenly Demon Incarnation Technique again. The four great incarnations of vows around him seemed to have independent consciousness, and each used their magic skills to echo their real bodies from a distance, forming an attack and a defense, creating a situation where they would die together with Lu Cheng but exchange injuries.

How could Lu Cheng change, so he quickly retreated with his sword.

However, Fu Chenghao did not pursue at all. Instead, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and surrounded by the flying skeleton souls, he turned into a huge skeleton composed of countless small skeleton heads and fled away in an instant.

However, Fu Chenghao had already discovered that the protective true energy that he had just recovered had been mostly consumed by the opponent without his knowledge.

"Junior Brother Lu, just give up on this idea. Even if I lose face today, I will never give you the chance to defeat me!"

Fu Chenghao's cultivation level is far higher than Lu Cheng's, so he can fight when he wants to and leave when he wants to, and the initiative is completely in his hands.

Coupled with the fact that this person is cautious enough, he becomes an opponent that is almost impossible to defeat.

Every time Fu Chenghao's protective true evil was repaired, he would fly over and fight with Lu Cheng, but he would always pay attention to his own protective true evil. Once more than half of it was damaged, he would suddenly retreat and kill the opponent remotely with the magic flame, and repeat this process.

As time went by, Lu Cheng's magic power gradually faded, from the peak of the ninth level of foundation building to the eighth level of foundation building, and then from the eighth level to his normal magic power level.

Even though his foundation in the Five Qi Foundation Building Method was deep, his magic power was gradually depleted by more than half. However, his spiritual consciousness was still preserved and only consumed one third because of the blessing of the Sword Heart Enlightenment Realm.

But if the fight continues like this, failure in the sword fight seems inevitable.

"This boy has a strong mind and is clear-minded. Unfortunately, just like what my senior brother said, his temperament is too strong. Because of his momentary impatience, he has ruined his path. I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve immortality in the future."

"Yes, he is a good candidate for sword cultivation. From Huoyun Mansion to Wanshou Incarnation Palace, he is the leader of two families. He has a bright future. Unfortunately, he lost today."

On the Sword Sharpening Cliff, while the cultivators were having a feast, a Jindan Grandmaster made comments and speculations, and most of the listeners stroked their beards in agreement.

Xiao Yuxue also heard it clearly, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, is Senior Brother Lu already defeated?"

"I can't see it, but the current situation is indeed not optimistic."

Xiao Yuhong stared at the sword-fighting area at Lijian Cliff, and saw a purple-red devil flame enveloping the sky.

If it weren't for the Eight Views Master, True Man Qingxuan offering up a magic mirror, many of the younger generations who came to watch the ceremony would not be able to see the sword fight.

But at this moment, the image on the magic mirror suddenly became a little disordered.

"Hey, is this the change of the five elements of heaven and earth?"

This level of power to control the five elements of heaven and earth seemed to exceed his assessment of that junior.

Thinking of this, Master Qingxuan raised his finger and the image on the magic mirror became clear again.

“Huff…Huff…”

It was at this time that Lu Cheng, who was forced into a desperate situation by Fu Chenghao, finally knew which sword intent he should focus on.

A normal cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm should not have such hesitations and difficulties in their cultivation, because most cultivators will find it difficult to comprehend a certain sword meaning or magic meaning in their entire lives.

A serious monk who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years may have fought more than a hundred sword battles and was able to escape unscathed. This would already make him a master of swordsmanship.

How difficult is it to summarize the experience and comprehend some kind of sword spirit or magic spirit from more than a hundred sword fights?
On the other hand, Lu Cheng knows some of the sword intents of killing, destruction, thunder, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, dark yin, and red yang. This is like the artistic conception that ancient calligraphy and painting masters incorporated into their skills. It sounds very mysterious, but if you see it more and fight more every day, you will naturally understand it.

Therefore, as early as a few years ago when he fought with the female cultivator who practiced the Three Emperors Sword Art, Lu Cheng realized that he should focus on the sword art, instead of being like he is now, where he knows a little bit of everything but it is impure and it is difficult to grasp the profound essence.

However, for cultivators, frequently changing their cultivation methods would bring great risks. This is because the acupoints and meridians through which the mana cultivated by each cultivation method passes are different. If one frequently changes the main cultivation method, the mana flow will become more chaotic and the body will be damaged. This will not be of any benefit to one's future path.

The same principle applies to cultivators who practice sword spirit and Dharma spirit. One is the body and the other is the function. In fact, the body and the function influence each other.

Even if a skilled swordsman is only given the most basic Qigong techniques, in the end, he will only be able to develop a sophisticated sword Qigong technique.

That was why Lu Cheng was unable to make a decision, because he knew very well that the sword intent of killing was powerful, the sword intent of destruction was domineering, the sword intent of destroying the law, and the sword intent of breaking the law were all superb.

"But what suits me best is the foundation of all things, the Five Elements Sword Intention. At least in this world, all things are born from the Five Elements. Taking this as my main cultivation of Sword Intention, I can forge the most powerful and unparalleled foundation for the Dao."

Before making a choice, Lu Cheng weighed the pros and cons, but at this moment, his mind and sword intentions were blended to the extreme, and once he made a choice, Lu Cheng no longer hesitated.

As his mind became determined, the "sword intent" in the sword intent took shape and had a core, and even triggered the Qi channels in Lu Cheng's body, and caused corresponding adjustments in his bones, tendons and muscles.

It becomes more suitable for the circulation of the five elements and five qi, echoing the wonderful principle of the circulation of the five elements and five qi.

At this moment, although it was only a change in Lu Cheng's mind, the chain reaction it brought about was even beyond his own expectations:
Using the Five Elements sword intent to guide the physical and mental cultivation, it was as if a sword flew out, piercing through heaven and earth and spreading between heaven and earth. Lu Cheng vaguely felt that he had an indescribable connection with everything within a radius of dozens of miles.

He opened his eyes, but did not need to use them to see. Lu Cheng only felt that the whole world in his eyes seemed to be composed of countless dense lines, stripes and grids.

Everything in the world has its own qi. The sun in the sky has its own qi, the earth and the mountains and seas have their own qi, even the birds and animals and even a stone on the ground have their own qi. Each qi is a long line, and together they make up this vast, magnificent and vibrant world.

Immortal practitioners hide in deep mountains and drill holes in the walls to practice martial arts, absorbing the myriad of Qi in heaven and earth and making it their own. In the process, they constantly strengthen their own Qi. This is cultivation.

And all the energy in this world, at least the energy that Lu Cheng can feel and sense at present, belongs to the five elements.

Lu Cheng had mastered too many sword intents before, and he was unable to strengthen his mind. He even hoped that in the future he could create a hundred swords magic to control all kinds of sword intents.

At this moment, he used the power of external disaster to temper his body and mind and stay firm on his path. The Five Elements Sword Intentions and the Taoist foundation laid by his previous practice were almost perfectly matched and blended.

Click, click, click.

All the Qi that was originally intercepted by the conflicting sword intent now flowed out and merged into the Five Qi and Five Elements, allowing his own magic power to recover quickly, and even attracted the Five Elements Qi from the surrounding heaven and earth.

"Under the guidance of the Five Elements Sword Intention, fine-tuning of the technique and the body will take some time." Thinking of this, Lu Cheng raised his sleeves and offered up a long gray banner.

The long banner was erected in front of Lu Cheng, growing longer in the wind, and then plunged into the rushing purple-red soul river. Countless evil spirits burst out instantly, and started to fight and tear each other apart with the tens of thousands of souls in Fu Chenghao's Netherworld Bone Banner.

Seeing this, Fu Chenghao was not panicked at all, but was ecstatic about it.

"Hahahaha, this Lu Cheng is really at his wit's end. He gave me such a great gift for nothing, so I'll accept it. I can't let you down."

Killing a large number of mortals and drawing their souls into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is, after all, against the harmony of nature. Even if the Dongyang Orthodox Church is not afraid, it does not mean that Fu Chenghao is not afraid and dares to act recklessly.

However, the Ten Thousand Souls Banners can devour each other. Fu Chenghao didn't know where Lu Cheng's Ten Thousand Souls Banner came from, but he could guess that it was probably not made by Lu Cheng himself, otherwise it would not be possible for him to sell his father's land without any regret. He almost didn't control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, allowing it to devour at will.

The Master Yinshi of the White Bone Courtyard was much more diligent and attentive than Fu Chenghao in refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and he killed more people, so Fu Chenghao was unable to completely swallow this spiritual object that fell from the sky in a short period of time.

Fu Chenghao could also understand that Lu Cheng was intentionally delaying time, but he really didn't believe what tricks Lu Cheng could come up with in such a short time.

On the contrary, if it does not swallow all the souls, they will disperse on their own.

"Five Elements Sword Intentions, Five Elements Divine Swords!"

Amid the chaos all around him, Lu Cheng only used a small part of his mind to protect himself, and used most of his mind on his flying sword.

Metal is hard and sharp, wood is full of vitality, water is accumulated and surging, fire is burning, and earth is deep and heavy.

Just like cultivators can change their main practice method, choosing to major in the Five Elements Sword Intent does not mean that Lu Cheng cannot major in other types of Sword Intent in the future.

However, changing one's orders every day and doing things in a disorderly manner will definitely cause the mind, internal energy, and even the physical body to become disoriented and misaligned. This is a relationship of mutual interaction and influence.

Especially since Lu Cheng was determined, it would be fine if he didn't make a decision, but once he made a decision, unless something unexpected happened, he would not be able to switch to practicing other sword skills for at least a few hundred years.

The Five Elements Sword Intent was also in perfect harmony with his foundation building. At this moment, he used the sword to draw the Qi, and the sword Qi responded. Lu Cheng only felt that his own Five Elements magic power was growing and combining with the external vitality. He consumed ten points of his magic power, and the next moment it returned to nine points.

And that’s not all.

"……what is that?"

Fu Chenghao was originally here controlling the Netherworld Bone Banner to devour the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and was in ecstasy.

Suddenly, Lu Cheng flew up into the sky, his sword energy and sword intentions were so strong that he seemed to have returned to the peak state. The most amazing thing was that as he rushed over with his sword, behind Lu Cheng's head, there was a big hand composed of the five elements of heaven and earth, which kept pinching the magic formula, becoming clearer and larger.

Use sword to perform magic, innate energy, and the five elements handprint!
After integrating his sword skills, Lu Cheng discovered that he no longer needed to use hand gestures. Instead, he could use the five elements sword skills to perform the five seals of sharp gold, Yi wood, vast sea, awkward fire, and Wu earth.

As the spell was completed, a palm was sent out, and the translucent handprint flew out of the hand and then rapidly expanded, first flying upwards, rising to a high place, and then expanding to a size of several acres, naturally guiding the five lines of vital energy around it to surge and gather, filling it, and finally covering the sky and the earth, then turning around and slapping it down.

Rumble, rumble.

It's another super-level spell of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Fu Chenghao used the Netherworld White Bone Banner to gather the power of thousands of souls to block it. The rushing purple-red soul river also made him feel the power of his palm was powerful.

But it was just a fourth-level spell after all. What really made Fu Chenghao's eyelids twitch was that after this palm, another handprint shadow appeared faintly behind Lu Cheng's head, endless, endless, and infinite.

"Five Elements Seal? Xiantian Yiqi Great Grasping!? Xuan Ce, how come my Xiantian School's Xiantian Yiqi Great Grasping can appear on this person?"

On the Lijian Cliff, among the cultivators who were having a banquet, a senior cultivator from the Xiantian School noticed the spell that Lu Cheng was performing and asked with a frown.

However, only Huang Longzi and the two daughters of Baoxiang Zhenren were present at the Western Regions Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace this time. The elder of the Xiantian faction could not interrogate the juniors, so he could only hold Xuan Ce of the Huoyun Mansion accountable.

"Reporting to Senior Xi, the Xiantian Yiqi Great Capturing Technique that Lu Cheng learned was indeed passed down by my master. My fellow disciples and I did not inherit it, but where exactly it was obtained from is not something I can know."

"Xi Hongyuan, your Gu Taixu and Chi Shenzi are almost as close as brothers. Where did this young man learn all these Xiantian School spells? Need I say more?"

“Hahahaha, this battle is interesting. The Xiantian sect’s true teachings, after achieving a small level of success, the mana generated will be incredibly fast and seemingly endless. When I was young, I also suffered from this sect’s Xiantian Yiqi. This young man from the Demon Sect might really be brought down if things go wrong.”

The true disciples of the Xiantian School are famous for their profound magic power. After they have achieved a certain level of success, their magic power will be generated at an incredible speed and seem endless. Even ordinary spells can be used with great power, and they are especially good at defending against and counterattacking external attacks. The practitioner's body will be nourished by the magic power and his spiritual consciousness will be greatly enhanced. It is also a holy book for healing, and can prevent all diseases and poisons.

Lu Cheng only learned the Xiantian School's Xiantian Qi Capture Technique, which could not be considered the true teachings of the school. However, he performed magic with the sword and used the sword to draw Qi. His magic power was endless, and he managed to eliminate the gap in magic power accumulation between himself and the Ningsha monk.

The magic power he could use at this time was still far less than that of Fu Chenghao, but with Lu Cheng's sword in his hand, one point of magic power could be converted into twelve points of killing power. The sword light shuttled back and forth, forcing Fu Chenghao to retreat from time to time.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? He is just a foundation-building cultivator. Could it be that his spiritual consciousness and magical power are infinite?"

At this moment, the situation reversed, and Fu Chenghao was gradually forced into a state of despair.

After all, he participated in the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly and fought all the way to the present. It was okay to use the strong to defeat the weak and crush the magic realm all the way, but the battle with You Jie of the Hidden Sword Palace did greatly consume his mind.

This kind of fatigue, at this moment, completely erupted under the constant pressure of the sword intent, making Fu Chenghao feel that the thoughts in his mind were becoming increasingly sluggish.

On the other hand, Lu Cheng's condition seemed to be constantly improving, his sword intent surged, and even that handprint began to disappear into the void, appearing irregularly around Lu Cheng and Fu Chenghao, guiding the five lines of vitality around them to converge and fill them. Sometimes, before it reached its maximum power, it would fall down at Lu Cheng's will, catching Fu Chenghao off guard.

But in fact, Lu Cheng was also gradually reaching his limit. Although the innate Qi could make the cultivator's mana grow, seemingly endless, the mind had a limit, and the load on the body's meridians also had a limit. The Xiantian School, which had studied the innate Qi for so many years, had not achieved invincibility, so how could Lu Cheng do it?

Moreover, the snake staff in his hand gradually began to become restless. Lu Cheng used it too harshly and for too long.

After all, this is a ferocious and bloodthirsty fourth-level snake demon. Lu Cheng can feel that it may turn against its master at any time.

But if there was no Green Scaled Snake King, Lu Cheng's sword speed, sword power, and lethality would immediately be reduced by half.

"After all, you relied on too much external force, but you deserve to lose!"

He attacked with a sword, and as the incarnations of Fu Chenghao's wishes fell one after another, Lu Cheng suddenly thrust out a sword, and the snake head in his hand opened its eyes and bit with a hissing sound.

Fu Chenghao fell back and barely avoided it, but at this moment, when the gap accumulated to a certain limit, in Fu Chenghao's eyes, the terrifying Taoist sword-wielding figure in front of him seemed to turn into dozens of figures in an instant, appearing around him at the same time, and then the sword lights merged into one, and suddenly slashed out a sword rainbow with the gathered sword power.

puff.

The pale green sword light chopped off the head of Fu Chenghao's last incarnation of will.

Under the Lijian Cliff, before the waterfall.

The snake-like sword finally crossed Fu Chenghao's neck. Fu Chenghao's face was ashen and his eyes were lifeless, but he did not dare to show his temper.

Because when he saw Lu Cheng's eyes, he knew that this madman really dared to cut off his head with one sword.

At the same time, on the other side, due to the mutual devouring relationship between the Ten Thousand Souls Banners, the Netherworld White Bone Banner, which had lost the support of its master's magical power, was wrapped and bitten by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner of the White Bone Courtyard, and was even gradually dragged over.

"I actually won!?"

Xiao Yuxue's face was full of disbelief. Even Xiao Yuhong, who was standing beside her, was a little confused and couldn't believe it.

After this battle, he became famous all over the world.
