Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 146: Swift Sword Slash (Part , later update)
Lu Cheng's gold sword is fast, his earth sword is heavy, his fire sword is fierce, his water sword is tough, and his wood sword is poisonous. This is acknowledged by all the cultivators in the Tongxuan realm, but it is hard to convince people if they only talk about it without practicing.

So there are seven days for sword teaching, two days for sword explanation, two days for sword fighting, two days for questions, and the last day for summary.

In the past two days, Lu Cheng had been lecturing, demonstrating and practicing sword skills on the platform, which had fascinated all the cultivators in Chixin City.

He did not teach any specific sword tactics or sword techniques, so naturally there was no question of him imparting the true teachings of Huoyun Mansion or Wanshou Incarnation Palace. However, many people found that they benefited greatly from these sword theories and free-hand sword styles.

Of course, whether it can happen to you depends on your personal understanding and cultivation. For a cultivator, it is always easier to attain enlightenment than to maintain it.

Two days of sword fighting.

Lu Cheng randomly selected several monks with good cultivation and swords, and then he pressed his magic power to the same level as theirs before fighting with them.

"You have to fly the sword quickly. The faster you fly the sword, the more active you are. Whether you are attacking, defending, or escaping with the sword, the word "speed" is very important."

But no matter who was chosen or who stood up, the two sides stood in the field facing each other with swords. Often, before that person could even unsheathe his flying sword, Lu Chengyu's flying sword would already be across his neck.

The speed of Lu Cheng's golden sword was witnessed by all the cultivators.

"Lu Shangxiu, how can one fly a sword as fast as you?"

After losing fourteen people in a row, no one around dared to go up and make a fool of themselves. Or even if they didn't care about their face and wanted to go up, they would be pulled down by the people around them, thinking that they were wasting everyone's time to ask for advice.

"One is to circulate qi through sword techniques, and the other is to practice more. The former is the upper limit of a cultivator's ability to control a sword, and the latter is the lower limit of a cultivator's ability to control a sword.

It is not just about having a fast sword. The mind must be quick, the decision must be quick, everything must be quick. However, blindly pursuing speed is also a wrong path. However, this wrong path is enough to enter the ranks of sword masters below the Jindan realm. "

In addition to the speed of the sword, in the following time, Lu Cheng also explained the ruthlessness and accuracy of using the sword.

He still asked some people to come up and fight with swords. Lu Cheng suppressed his own cultivation to the same level as theirs, and both sides activated their flying swords at the same time.

This time, although Lu Cheng's flying sword was still fast, it was not as fast as before. When the flying sword was approaching, the opponent could always control the flying sword, but when the flying swords collided, the latter's flying sword was knocked away with a clang.

The driver was unable to return for a long time, and his master was of course stabbed in the throat by the flying sword.

Then comes sword accuracy, which is the ability to control the sword.

The two sides fought with swords. This time, a cultivator with strong magical power and swordsmanship came up. His name was Qi Fei, and he was a well-known casual swordsman.

He is respected as Master Qi Jian.

There is a kind of ability in this world called talent. When doing the same thing, a person can do it faster and better than most people. This is called talent.

Qi Fei is a very talented swordsman. His parents are not even cultivators, but landlords in the secular Tang Dynasty.

This kind of fate is considered good compared to most people. At least there is a stable life and no worries about food and drink.

But when he was young, one day Qi Fei accidentally encountered two swordsmen who drew their swords against each other because of a dispute, and blood splattered five steps away. At that time, he knew what he really wanted in his life.

In this way, he stumbled into the Tongxuan Realm as a casual person, but relying on his love, devotion and talent for the sword, he regarded the ordinary sword techniques that others disdained to practice as treasures, and he carefully collected the damaged flying swords that others disdained to take.

It's not that he didn't have a master in the process, but he had three masters, and all of these masters died for various reasons.

Then he practiced step by step until today, and achieved success in the nine levels of innate, qi training, and foundation building, and finally broke through to the condensed evil.

Nowadays, Qi Fei has some fame and wealth in the Tongxuan world.

But today, facing the sword light that was changing and slashing down like a flying rainbow, Qi Fei swung out his sword, and nine sword lights flew up to meet it.

Lu Cheng and Qi Fei were attacking and defending, and the sword lights of both sides were fast, but Qi Fei soon realized something was wrong, because Lu Cheng's sword light changed countless times in an instant, and his nine sword lights flew in and out, but he couldn't block it.

The next moment, Qi Fei found that one side of his neck was cold, and along with it, his heart, which had been seeking a sword for many years, also became cold.

"Lu Shangxiu's magic power is suppressed to the same level as mine, I can be sure of that, but the gap is still so big? One sword, even one sword I can't resist?"

For a moment, my mind was lost.

"This is actually sword accuracy. To put it more clearly, it is the cultivator's ability to control the flying sword. Why are many masters unwilling to use a set of magic weapons? Swinging a sword to form a flying sword formation? It is because of this. It is almost impossible to control a set of magic weapons to a fine degree.

Of course, I am talking about the subtlety in the eyes of a skilled swordsman. Many swordsmen can use a set of sword formations to be quite skillful. "

"For land cultivators, how can one wield a sword accurately and control it with the mind?" At this time, a cultivator asked.

"It's the same answer as before. On the one hand, you need to study hard and practice diligently, and on the other hand, you need to have pure magic power. A cultivator absorbs the true energy of heaven and earth and integrates it into his or her body. Depending on the differences in one's own spiritual roots and the different techniques one practices, the true energy of heaven and earth that one absorbs will naturally be different. Your teacher asked you to absorb the purple energy of the sun, but you ended up absorbing the energy of the morning glow. Your teacher asked you to absorb the energy of the earth, but you ended up absorbing the energy mixed with some copper and iron. This is almost inevitable after a cultivator has practiced for many years.

But if it happens too often, the mana will naturally become impure. In addition, the mana needs to be purified. No one can avoid making mistakes. The mana of a cultivator is bound to have impurities. Practice swords, cultivate methods, and delve into the hundreds of arts of cultivation. As long as you practice more, the mana will gradually become purer through repeated consumption and recovery. But don't rely too much on this method. It's best to absorb less impurities at the beginning."

“It is always better to make fewer mistakes or no mistakes than to make amends after the fact.”

It was not until Lu Cheng reached this point that he noticed that the monk who had just fought with him did not leave.

He knelt there, tears streaming down his face.

"My friend, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Cheng didn't notice any difference between this man and the many people who had just fought with him with swords. He stepped forward to ask this question purely out of Taoist demeanor.

"I beg you to accept me as your slave. I, Qi Fei, am willing to follow you, listen to your sword skills and receive your teachings day and night." Qi Fei was crying so hard that he could no longer see the light.

He was quite famous, and his performance at this moment caused many people around to whisper.

"Why would Master Qi Jian be like this?"

"Hush, let's see if Lu Shangxiu will accept him. If he does, then we will go up and cry to him."

"How can I possibly accept it? Do you think it's so easy to join the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts?"

"Yes."

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Cheng to take the person in front of him as a slave. To relieve his mood and eliminate fatigue, having a charming concubine like Xue Yuzhen was enough.

What's the point of marrying a man yourself?

Lu Cheng turned his body away and ignored the man. Naturally, a servant from Chixin Temple came up, picked up Qi Fei and took him away. At this moment, Qi Fei was distracted and didn't know how to resist, but just kept begging.

I give lectures during the day and sit in meditation for two hours at night to rest and digest what I have learned.

On the morning of the fourth day, a maid from Chixin Temple came up and served spiritual tea to Lu Cheng. This had happened in the previous four days.

The spiritual tea of ​​Chixin Temple is not that good, but it still has the basic effects of strengthening the body, eliminating evil, moistening the body, quenching thirst and nourishing the body.

However, Lu Cheng, who used to taste the spiritual tea, only picked up the teacup, looked at it, smiled, and put the teacup and lid on the table. Not long after, under the sunlight, the teacup, which originally contained a cup of clear tea, was bred with many insects from the tea. The white and yellow insects kept wriggling, which made people's scalps numb.

Many monks who were listening to the lecture around had sharp eyes and also saw this scene. But before they could say anything, Lu Cheng waved his sleeves, and the teacups, tea lids, and tea bugs all melted away quickly like snow melting in the sun, turning into wisps of smoke and drifting away.

"Demon of Sorrow, I captured your disciple and waited for you for seven days but you didn't come. Then I waited for another half a month but you still didn't come. Now, you finally can't sit still anymore?"

Although he was aware of the hidden arrow, Lu Cheng still continued to carry out the ceremony at his own pace without any hurry.

This is because the entire Chixin Temple is overlooked by the Chixin God, making it completely its home ground; and it is also protected by the Seven Stars Evil-Destroying Formation that Chen Qingfeng has painstakingly laid out over the years.

Chen Qingfeng is an expert in formations. Although his power has increased slowly over the years for unknown reasons, he has put his heart into Chixin Temple. After all, this is where he, his sister, and his fiancée live. In addition, with the expansion of Chixin City in recent years, Chixin Temple has a huge influence in the city.

Under these advantageous conditions, Chen Qingfeng has already connected the earth veins with the protective formation of the Chixin Temple.

Once the formation is connected to the earth vein, it is the so-called mountain protection formation. It can directly improve a realm. The Seven Stars Breaking Evil Formation is a third-level top-grade formation. In other words, if there is another cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage who is proficient in this formation, even a cultivator at the Condensing Evil Refining Gang realm may die in this formation.

Therefore, during these seven days of sword-teaching and air-fighting several times, Lu Cheng was not only certain that he would not suffer any loss, but he also vaguely realized that the opponent at least had insufficient inheritance of the formation and did not realize the power of this formation.

"Unfortunately, he either attacked from a distance or his concealment was too sophisticated. I didn't sense where the old man was hiding."

Time passes little by little.

During the process, Lu Cheng encountered several assassination attempts, but he was able to break through them all with the power of Chi Jun Fu Lan and the Qi Yao Po Xie Array.

The Red Lord's Domain has the power of thunder, fire and wind to destroy evil, and the Seven Stars Destroying Evil Formation has the power to respond to and borrow the power of the stars to suppress evil spirits. The combination of the two makes the cultivators who practice evil arts feel very uncomfortable. It's okay if they don't use their magic power, but once they use it, they will feel that their magic power is not working. If they cast evil arts, they are more likely to be directly backfired, or at least the power of the spell will be reduced.

On the sixth day, a cultivator suddenly drew his sword from behind Lu Cheng. The sword light was fast and fierce, and it was full of potential, but Lu Cheng suddenly turned around and chopped him down with several swords. However, the man's body knelt there, and he opened his mouth to spew out a vortex of pitch-black poisonous insects.

However, there was a black and red flame in Lu Cheng's hand, which surged out with the palm force. The two faced each other and pressed their palms forward.

"Ahhhh!"

The monk, whose flesh and blood had been eaten by the poisonous insects, knelt on the ground and screamed with his head raised. A swarm of terrifying insects surged out of his mouth, but they were all burned by the Great Five Elements Earth True Fire, forming a large black and red vortex of flames and a sea of ​​fire that shot straight into the sky.

After cultivating his innate blood and fire, Lu Cheng's ability to control the Great Five Elements' Earthly True Fire also increased significantly. The two, one is essence and the other is qi, and they are inherently complementary to each other.

In particular, Lu Cheng's innate blood and fire were not suppressed by the Seven Stars Evil-Breaking Formation, which indirectly proved that the study and mastery of his own essence and blood still fell within the scope of Taoist practice.

"You all saw it, right? I have been patient and tolerant, but unfortunately the other party keeps pushing forward and won't give in. At this moment, I have no way to retreat."

After these seven days of teaching and preparation, in fact, no one realizes at this moment how high the status of Five Elements Sword City is in the hearts of the cultivators in Chixin City.

Even Lu Cheng himself lacked some estimation.

The Eight Views bestow favors upon the world, but they only bestow favors upon outstanding people and geniuses. They disdain to win the hearts of the middle and lower level cultivators.

However, it is precisely this group of middle and lower-level cultivators who are more fanatical and more easily instigated and bewitched than the rational and restrained ones of the outstanding talents.

"Bring that Taoist up here!"

Following Lu Cheng's order, Pei Fangxuan, the owner of Beicheng Town Demon Villa, whose magic power had been sealed, was pulled onto the platform by two Taoists from Chixin Temple.

Many people recognized Pei Shangxiu, a man who was eager to help others and was willing to help others. For a moment, some were silent, while others were talking among themselves, all of them were surprised and suspicious.

"Pei Fangxuan, this scarlet fire scorpion in the Condensed Evil Realm is yours, right?"

Lu Cheng flicked his sleeves and summoned the red fire scorpion, which landed on the field.

"Yes."

Pei Fangxuan was in this situation now, and all he wanted was to die quickly and painfully, and he had nothing to hide anymore.

"You established the Sad Demon Villa and sent out this Red Fire Scorpion to commit crimes and kill people everywhere. You want to destroy the reputation of the Red Heart Temple and become the leader of the local monks. Am I right?"

"Hahaha, Master Lu is very perceptive. Now that things have come to this, I only ask you to give me a quick death."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng raised his hand, and a sword light suddenly flew out. With a clang, the sword directly cut off Pei Fangxuan's head.

Until the moment the head flew off, Pei Fangxuan did not feel any pain at all. He looked at the headless corpse spurting blood below and the flying sword shining with dazzling golden light in the air.

Pei Fangxuan's last thought flashed through his mind: "It's really satisfying!"

At this time, people were already very angry and talking about it.

Even Chen Qingyun and Luo Peifang were the same. Pei Fangxuan had visited them several times before and was very polite and courteous. The two of them had a good impression of him and interacted with him wholeheartedly.

"I never thought that all this was caused by Pei Fangxuan, and that red fire scorpion. No wonder I couldn't kill it even with a fourth-level talisman. Damn it." Chen Qingyun said hatefully. Thinking of the fourth-level talismans he had consumed, he felt even more heartbroken.

"I had some suspicions before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Chen Qingfeng shook his head slightly and sighed.

Luo Peifang frowned and asked, "You have already suspected it, why didn't you tell me and Qingyun so that we can be prepared?"

"What if I told you? It would make you and me uneasy. What's more, with you and Qingyun's scheming, if we knew about this in advance, Pei Fangxuan would probably find out in a few times, and we would have no room for easing the situation."

Chen Qingfeng is also a meticulous person, but his magical powers are not enough, so even if he has doubts, it is difficult to solve them, and he doesn't even dare to verify them.

At this time, Lu Cheng had already said something that all the monks present found hard to believe:
"Everyone, today I, Lu, would like to ask all of you to be witnesses. I am going to the Demon-Suppressing Villa to challenge the old man Sad Demon. This battle is not because I am aggressive and bloodthirsty, but because this beast is too bullying. I am here today. If I were not here, I don't know how many fellow Taoists would be harmed by him.

Even if it is for the long-term peace and stability of the Southern Border Tongxuan Realm, this beast of sorrow must be eliminated. "

As he spoke, Lu Cheng produced the evidence of how he and Chen Qingfeng had used the power of the formation to resolve the attacks of the poisonous insects over the past few days. Initially, they were only targeted at Lu Cheng, but later, Chen Qingfeng, Chen Qingyun, Luo Peifang, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger, and finally even many cultivators who participated in the ceremony, were attacked by the poisonous insects.

However, although the old man Sad Demon's witchcraft was wonderful, he did not know the mysterious formation and the power of Chi Jun. He did not know that his actions did not consume much of Lu Cheng's energy and magic power, but instead caused him to suffer greater losses.

Even for a Gu cultivator, it is not easy to cultivate so many different types of Gu worms.

Under the Seven Stars Devil-Breaking Formation, Chen Qingfeng could dissolve and break most of his methods, and Lu Cheng mostly broke those that attacked him.

Although most people were a little worried, under the leadership of Lu Cheng, they flew towards the Beicheng Demon Villa on swords under the outrage.

Chixin City did not have such a sophisticated formation as the Forbidden Sky Formation, so on that day, many people in Chixin City saw countless sword lights rising into the sky from the Chixin Temple, covering the sky and the sun, and flying towards the Beicheng Demon Villa.

Since it's a mess, just cut it off with a sharp sword.
