Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 147: Swift Sword Slash (Part )

In the Demon-Suppressing Villa, in a dark and clean stone chamber, an old Taoist sitting cross-legged on a cushion suddenly opened his eyes.

"You're here? With your seventh level Condensed Demon Cultivation, you come to attack my Demon Suppression Villa. Do you look down on the cultivators of the Myriad Spirits Sect?"

Even if it is just the surface of magical power cultivation, Pei Fangxuan has the fourth level of Ningsha, and his master, Old Man Beimo, has the fifth level of Lian Gang, not to mention that there are hidden means that have not been exposed.

Under such circumstances, most cultivators would choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. But the kid from Lu Cheng chose to attack with his sword, which made the old Taoist secretly angry.

Many years ago, before the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Gu Shen Cult, the ancestors here, in order to survive, the wise ones took the initiative to sign a contract with the enlightened alien creatures in the Ten Thousand Mountains, exchanging their own souls and flesh for the magical powers of the mountain monsters.

Whether it is the spiritual wisdom of human nature or the physical body, these are what the spirits need.

To a certain extent, this did achieve the goal of using demons to control demons and protecting the survival and development of the ancestors of southern Xinjiang.

In some places, this form of practice is called "going out to work as a horse", and those who have achieved success in practice are called "horsemen".

During that period, this sect was collectively called the Wanling Sect, which also protected all living beings and taught them.

Later, Taoist teachings were introduced into the sect, and the Wanling Sect absorbed the scattered cultivation methods among them. For some periods of time, it called itself the Wanxian Sect, but that lasted for a very short time before it reverted to the Wanling Sect.

The biggest problem with this method of practice is that, although one can quickly acquire magical powers and borrow spells, the relationship between most horse drivers and the immortals is a subordinate one.

The immortal only borrows the horseman's body to practice, and the magic power he cultivates does not belong to the horseman. It even consumes the latter's essence and blood and shortens his lifespan.

But nothing is absolute. Due to various accidents, some horse drivers have developed a deep trust with the immortals behind them, and the immortals are willing to assist the horse drivers on their path of cultivation.

Or maybe the groom himself embarked on the path of immortality due to various accidents, and cultivated his own magic power to successfully counterattack.

These people were high-level cultivators in the Wanling Sect, but they could not achieve alchemy by leveraging the power in this way. It was not until Yinshan Zhenren came into being that he integrated the two ways of cultivation, opened up a lineage of practice, and founded the Gushen Sect, which also absorbed many high-level cultivators from the original Wanling Sect.

Therefore, the Yinshan Patriarch is also known as the leader of the Southern Demon Cult. If there is only a Gushen Cult with dozens of disciples, it can hardly be called the Southern Demon Cult.

However, these monks, who were originally high-ranking members of the Wanling Sect, hid themselves in the Ten Thousand Mountains and nominally submitted to the Yinshan Patriarch, but it was not so easy for the Yinshan Patriarch to command them.

This in itself is not a problem, as all of the four major demon sects have fierce internal strife.

The Northern Sect of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace was the most stable under the strong suppression of Huang Longzi and his wife, but in the eyes of the world, the conflict between the Northern and Southern Sects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace was the most violent among the four major demon sects. In comparison, the Southern Demon Sect could at least maintain a respected leader and basic stability.

This time, the attempt to seize Chixin City is a move made by these monks who were originally from the Wanling Sect. If successful, Chixin City will be the next city that never sleeps. While gaining a large amount of resources, these monks will have more say in the Southern Demon Sect.

Although Chixin City is large, it cannot withstand the speed of Lu Cheng flying on his sword.

And it is getting faster and faster.

That sword light suddenly appeared from the east. It was just a flash at first, and then a series of blue, red, white, yellow and black sword lights swept across like lightning, swallowing up the sky and the earth, tearing the clouds apart. The sword power was so fierce that the world was filled with indescribable murderousness and ruthlessness!
The Five Elements Sword Intent pushed the Innate Five Elements Seal, and then the sword light turned into a rainbow, and then the sword energy made a thunderous sound. This sword slashed across the sky for a hundred miles, almost sweeping away all the Five Elements vitality in this area, and all of it was contained in the sword.

The five five elements flying swords, Chunjun, Yaoshi, Baiyu, Chiyan and Cangfeng, flew in sequence, and then transformed into a colorful divine sword in mid-air, sweeping across and slashing down.

If there were any cultivators who happened to be near the Demon-Suppressing Villa at this moment, although they would not be able to react at the moment, they would still be able to deeply feel the power and terror of this sword.

These low-level monks only felt that the entire sky and earth were like being struck by an invisible giant holding a huge sword, making a heavy blow from the sky!
The huge sense of terror made them lose their minds and their thoughts went blank. The only thing left was the survival instinct to try their best to stay away from the attack point of the giant sword.

It was a super-level Taoist method, the Five Elements Great Handprint transformed into the Five Elements Heavy Sword Slash. It was a creation of a cultivator who combined Qigong and swordsmanship in a relatively perfect way.

The attack will naturally be more concentrated and sharper.

Although this sword did not reach the level of sword energy and thunder sound, it was still much faster than the old man Beimo had expected.

Clang.

The mountain-moving and mountain-swallowing formation that protected the Demon-Suppressing Villa had just taken off when a mountain-moving flag at the core was cut down by the Five Elements heavy sword. In an instant, the mountains moved, and the flying sword that was a combination of five swords suddenly collapsed, but the mountain-moving and mountain-swallowing formation was also broken at the same time.

"Junior, do you dare?"

From deep within the Demon-Suppressing Villa, came the extremely angry roar of old man Beimo.

Because, although he had a premonition that Lu Cheng would come, he did not expect Lu Cheng to come so quickly and to strike with such ferocious force.

However, this mountain protection formation was originally set up by his disciple Pei Fangxuan. Old Man Beimo himself was not good at using it, so it was broken.

Along with the old man Sad Demon's magic spell, there was a woooo, woooo, woooo, as if several dark clouds were flying up from the surroundings of Demon-Suppressing Villa and covering it. These were of course not real dark clouds, but dense flying insects filling the sky.

There were many kinds of flying insects, which were distinct and connected to each other. Some were as big as fists, with sharp fangs and hooked limbs; some were only as long as a finger, and they came and went in a flash, flying at high speeds. With such a huge number, it really felt like the sky was covered and the whole world had turned into a nest of insects.

The magic is vast and the weather is terrifying.

Old Man Beimo was a cultivator who accidentally embarked on the path to immortality, cultivated his own magical powers, and was promoted to a high-level cultivator in the Wanling Sect.

Compared with most Gu Masters, a cultivator who puts himself first and controls thousands of spiritual insects is truly worthy of the title of Gu Master.

Faced with the swarm of insects that was coming in from all directions like a dark cloud, the Taoist priest felt goosebumps all over his body and felt uncomfortable because of the buzzing sounds before they even arrived. He also smelled a faint fishy odor, and it seemed that many of these poisonous insects were extremely poisonous.

Faced with this situation, Lu Cheng formed a sword gesture with his right hand at his dantian, tracing it upwards from dantian to the chest's tanzhong point and then to the larynx.

Then the Taoist raised his head, puffed out his chest, turned to the energy node where the vast clouds of insects from all directions were converging, and opened his mouth: Boom.

A stream of black and red blazing fire, like a volcanic eruption, swept away with a loud bang. Wherever there was a vital energy node where the vast cloud of insects gathered, Lu City's Great Five Elements Earth True Fire would spew out there.

The Five Elements Heavy Sword Slash transformed from the Five Elements Great Handprint is a super-level Taoist technique, and so is Lu Cheng's Great Five Elements Earthly True Fire.

At this moment, the black and red flames continued to spread and burn the insect swarms. It could truly be described as a continuous burning of the universe.

After using up all his energy, Lu Cheng spat out all the Great Five Elements Earthly True Fire that had been stored in his lower dantian. Although this true fire was powerful, it also had great limitations. After each use, he would have to nurture the true fire for at least three months.

This is because Lu Cheng's own five elements of magic power are unparalleled. Not only is the true fire more powerful and more numerous, but it also recovers faster.

If someone else accidentally mastered this true fire magic, they would probably not dare to use it unless their own life was at stake.

The old demon of sorrow floated in the air, staring blankly at the black and red sea of ​​fire that was surging and spreading in all directions.

He wanted to cast a spell to extinguish the flames, but the black and red flames gave him a sense of danger. While he was hesitating, the flying sword of the young Taoist priest opposite him had already approached.

The green sword represents the blue sky, the white sword represents the blue flame.

The two fourth-grade top-quality flying swords, under the control of the young Taoist, merged into a beam of sword light, which stabbed and killed old man Bei Mo close to him. Just before he got close, Cang Yan jumped out from Qing Ming, and flew around old man Bei Mo's body with a speed that was even faster and more fierce than the Qing Ming flying sword.

"what!"

The old man Sad Demon's protective magic power was not cultivated to a high level, so it was shattered by the sharp and agile sword light.

But suddenly a faint green light rose up around him, causing his body to leap back suddenly and land in the air, successfully avoiding the entanglement of the two swords.

Just along with the flashing of the dim green light, the body of the old man Sad Demon began to change drastically. He was originally just an old Taoist priest in a gray Taoist robe, but at this moment, large streams of pus flowed out from under his skin, covering his entire body.

At the same time, his body began to proliferate rapidly and abnormally. The constantly expanding body suddenly became taller than Lu Cheng.

Especially his arms. His right arm was still better, but it was like a steel pillar, covered with insect scales and green armor, and his five fingers were as sharp as knives.

His left arm grew abnormally rapidly, gradually occupying one-third of his entire body, with bone barbs all over it, looking terrifying and hideous. In the end, the only part of the terrifying body that was a combination of man and insect was the head of the old man, but that small head was not in harmony with his huge body no matter how you looked at it.

The whole process seems slow, but it is actually completed very quickly, especially for the method with strong power. Lu Cheng only hesitated for a moment and the whole change process was completed.

"Feeding the Gu with one's own body, and integrating the human and the Gu, re-establishing a relatively stable symbiotic life form, this method is really ingenious.

With such a physique, how can he practice the various meridians? He doesn’t even have any meridians or acupoints in his body, so it’s hard for him to practice to the level of refining the inner energy.”

While Lu Cheng was urging the flying sword to move, the old man Sad Demon had already begun to regroup quickly.

"Die!" As soon as the two words came out, the several spirit insect bags hanging on the waist of the sad demon old man opened at the same time, and with a whoosh, several black cloud-like poisonous insects flew out.

But at the same time, two green flying swords appeared in front of him, accompanied by his magic spells, and slashed towards Lu Cheng together.

The sword-like swarm of insects actually echoed each other, which was quite unique.

The spell in Lu Cheng's hand changed, and the Qingjian Qingming returned to defense, circling around his body to form a sword circle. In the process, there were bolts of Yi Mu divine thunder lighting falling.

The green sword light was endless, and the lightning light kept falling. The swarms of insects that were looking for a gap to enter were unable to enter for a while.

The white sword with blue flames slashed out and flew towards each other, and in an instant it met the two green flying swords controlled by the old man Sad Demon.

Although he was fighting one against two and was also disturbed by the swarm of insects, Lu Cheng was able to fight with his sword and not be at a disadvantage. He even had enough energy to launch sneak attacks on the old man from time to time.

However, the body of the old man, the Sad Demon, had been completely transformed. When necessary, he would retract his head and cover his shoulders with hard insect shells, which were as hard as gold and stone, and the Cang Yan Flying Sword could not cut it.

As for other places, although the flying sword cut into the flesh, pus gushed out and the body recovered rapidly, and it seemed that it did not damage the fighting power of the old man Sad Demon.

"Young man, even if you are good at swordsmanship and magic, what good can it do? There is a huge gap between our magic power. If we continue to fight like this, your magic power will eventually run out. It is better for you to put down your sword, admit defeat, kneel down and wait for your punishment. For the sake of Master Huang Longzi, I will definitely not take your life!"

However, Lu Cheng ignored what the old man Sad Demon said, and focused on controlling his two swords, one for attack and the other for defense. At the same time, the magic spells in his hands kept changing while he was in the defensive sword circle.

If there were cultivators from the Xiantian School or cultivators who participated in the Eight Scenes Dharma Assembly on that day, it would not be difficult to recognize that this was the Xiantian Five Elements Seal, which had a total of twenty-five hand seals. In addition, the cultivator also needed the body seal, heart seal, and mantra seal. Only when these three seals were coordinated could the internal and external five elements' qi be mobilized to the greatest extent.

At the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly, Lu Cheng replaced it with the Five Elements Sword Technique, and performed magic with the sword, gaining endless powerful magic power.

"Young man, you are courting death!"

He keenly sensed the other party's determination and the potential for a counterattack.

"Crack, crack." The old man's left arm, which was already swollen and deformed, swelled again as if it was inflated, and his internal skeleton made a series of explosions.

From the forearm to the palm, it instantly swelled to five or six times its usual size. Even with the old man's current size, waving this arm was like waving a battering ram.

Then he waved his arm, and the arm instantly broke into countless swarms of insects, fell on Lu Cheng's head, and turned into a black palm shape, smashing down. All this happened in an instant. While the mighty spiritual pressure was coming down, it was also accompanied by a strong fishy smell, which was obviously poisonous.

But at this moment, the translucent handprint suddenly appeared behind Lu Cheng, naturally guiding the five lines of energy around it to surge and gather, filling it, and finally slapping it towards the dark palm.

Boom.

The palms collided, and another super-level Taoist method of the Condensing Evil Realm was released.

The pitch-black palm was shattered by the blast of the Five Elements Handprint, and finally fell on the old man Sad Demon. In front of the old man Sad Demon, there were many spirit insects forming a wall. After removing some of the palm power, the remaining Five Elements palm power fell on his extremely strong body and could not cause much damage.

However, the force of this palm was enough to make the old man Sad Demon fall down with a look of surprise!
If the first sword was launched across a hundred miles in the air with accumulated force, it would be reasonable for it to break the formation protecting his manor with one sword.

The second True Fire Spell was the result of the accumulation of skills from a famous master, and it was understandable that it could break his own Ten Thousand Gu Formation.

So what is this now?
How could someone be able to release unlimited super-level Taoist methods that are beyond his own realm?
It is neither a magic weapon nor a fifth-order talisman, but the cultivator's own supernatural power.

Of course there are such people in this world, but with the vision and knowledge of Old Man Beimo, it is difficult to meet them.

This was the most perfect state that Chi Shen Zi had imagined when he taught Lu Cheng the Xiantian Yiqi Great Capture. But even Chi Shen Zi thought that in order for Lu Cheng to practice the Five Elements Seal to the current level, he would have to at least reach the level of Lian Gang. When he reached the Jindan realm, the power of the Five Elements Seal would be even greater. However, the cultivators in the Jindan realm had minds as fast as lightning and their magic power was extremely refined and pure. It was difficult for the Five Elements Seal, which relied on the absorption of the energy of heaven and earth to enhance its power, to kill people.

After all, the Five Elements Great Handprint is only a variation of the Innate Qi Grasping Technique, and not the whole picture of this set of exercises.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Many cultivators who had gathered from all directions to watch the battle saw translucent five-element handprints condensing in the air and then falling down, bombarding the entire Demon-Suppressing Villa, causing sand and rocks to fly and rocks to shake.

The transformation of the old man's human-guin integration was so powerful that it was difficult to catch any flaws, but Lu Cheng simply didn't look for any flaws. He kept using the Five Elements sword intent to push the Five Elements Big Handprint to hit and smash hard. His magic power seemed to be deep and endless.

When the first two palms hit, Old Man Bei Mo could still hold on, but when the third and fourth palms hit, the body of Old Man Bei Mo, which was a combination of human and Gu, had already begun to show obvious damage.

At the same time, the flying sword was slow, and Lu Cheng used the Cangyan Flying Sword to cut it diagonally, breaking his flying sword.

When it came to the fifth and sixth palm strikes, the sad demon old man used the remaining flying sword to block, but the flying sword was broken by the fifth five elements palm power. The palm still fell on his body. When the sixth five elements palm strike came, the sad demon old man's whole body was knocked down by the powerful and huge palm power and sank deeply into the earth and rocks.

When he was bearing the sixth palm strike, Lu Cheng cast a spell to turn stone into gold on the ground. Under this most basic five elements spell, the earth instantly turned into a light golden color. The old man Sad Demon was unable to absorb any force at all and was pressed hard in the huge palm print, absorbing all the palm force.

Bones all over his body were broken and green blood was flowing.

"...You can't kill me. The Wanling Cult won't let you go!"

"What is the Wanling Sect? If you said the Gushen Sect, I might spare your life for the sake of Yinshan Zhenren."

"……you!"

Before the old man Sad Demon could say anything else, Lu Cheng waved his hand and a sword light flew over and slashed past, killing the man.

After the head was chopped off, the hideous and terrifying half-human, half-insect body began to rot and melt rapidly.

After all, they are not normal creatures. Once they lose the protection of magic power, they cannot survive in the world for long.

The situation in Chixin City in southern Xinjiang was a mess, so Lu Cheng broke it with his swift sword and showed his determination to protect Chixin Temple with a strong attitude.

Although this might lead to some disputes between Huoyun Mansion, Wanshou Incarnation Palace and the Southern Demon Cult, Lu Cheng thought it was worth it for the sake of a fifth-level or even sixth-level magic weapon in the future.

He is no longer in the state of just arriving in this world, helpless and afraid to even return to the sect. After these years of management, Lu Cheng now has his own foundation. Even if he does something wrong and draws the dissatisfaction of his teachers, Lu Cheng feels that he can afford it now.

"We won, we actually won!"

"In fourteen hours, the Five Elements Swords will slay the Sad Demon Old Man!"

As Lu Cheng, the Five Elements Sword, killed the old man Sad Demon and destroyed Sad Demon Villa, many cultivators who came on swords felt honored to witness this battle.

It was not only because Lu Cheng crossed the border to kill the old man Sad Demon, but also because this battle occupied the name of righteousness.

Just like the City That Never Sleeps is listed among the sixteen evil sects in the world, but the monks in the city do not consider themselves to be members of the evil sects, most of the monks in the Red Heart City are ultimately devoted to the righteous path.

"After this battle, if there are no other accidents, my Chixin Temple can be worry-free for the next twenty years!" Chen Qingfeng, who was also watching the battle on the sidelines, let out a long breath and said with great satisfaction.

He, Chen Qingyun, Luo Peifang and others had arrived early in the morning, but the difference in magic power between a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Condensing Demon Realm cultivator was more than a hundred times, so naturally, everyone could not help, and could only serve as witnesses like the other cultivators who followed.
