Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 164: Teng Snake Appears
"It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt all five. Go and help Uncle Hongzi to kill him, and I will deal with this thief."

Lu Cheng conveyed this thought to Qi Fengping and Fang Shiman. These female disciples were more concerned about the safety of their own master, and they saw that Lu Cheng even had the upper hand.

Immediately, the Taoist priestess Qi Fengping in white informed the other sisters and said, "Brother Lu is right. Our sword formation is more coordinated with our master. Let's kill one thief first, and then the other one!"

After he finished speaking, the twelve flying swords formed into overlapping sword forces and rushed towards the evil monk, knocking him down like a tide of sword energy.

Mie Hongzi sensed the assistance of his disciples' sword formation. Although he frowned slightly, he did not say much. Instead, he intensified his sword energy.

They formed dense layers and attacked the evil monk.

Mie Hongzi's extinction sword energy is somewhat similar to the pure and refined golden elixir magic power of Jindan Zhenren.

The biggest difference between a Jindan Zhenren and a Jindan Grandmaster, apart from their Tao heart and techniques, is the Jindan magic power. They can even rely on this magic power alone to fight against and suppress all kinds of flying swords and magic weapons. It is extremely powerful.

After Miehongzi's elixir became a mid-level product, she did not give up her own path. More than eighty years ago, she cultivated a Taoist secret technique of nurturing sword energy, and she only used the exterminating sword energy to fight the enemy, hoping to improve her external strength and thus strengthen her inner elixir.

After decades of training, her exterminating sword energy has indeed become more and more powerful.

At this moment, relying solely on his sword skills, he had already firmly gained the upper hand in the sword fight with the evil cultivator.

On the other side, the evil cultivator who looked young but had profound magical powers, in addition to his black gourd, also sacrificed a flying shield magic weapon, which flew around his body and helped him resist Lu Cheng's flying sword technique.

Lu Cheng used the sword energy and thunder sound method to activate the sharp and mysterious sword technique. He had been accumulating time difference. As long as the gap accumulated to a certain extent, he could cut off the opponent's head with one sword.

However, once the opponent's fourth-level protective magic weapon appeared, this time had to be greatly delayed.

The two swords, Cang Yan and Qing Ming, were spinning and dancing rapidly, but it would take time to break the flying shield magic weapon.

Lu Cheng frowned slightly, and in the next moment, with his body as the center, a pitch-black light and thousands of boundless colorful auras spread out and covered an area of ​​ten feet in radius. It was the statue of the Red Heart God and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that were sacrificed together, with yin and yang mixed together, and the yin and yang law domain.

The black and white light quickly enveloped the evil cultivator. The man looked around and extended his spiritual sense, but he felt as if he was burning and withdrew it as soon as it was touched.

It is just like this. No matter whether it is the power of faith of all living beings or the resentment of thousands of souls, it is extremely harmful to the consciousness of cultivators. This endless black and white light is like a boundless fog, covering it.

However, the two swords, Cang Yan and Qing Ming, continued to attack. Each sword was tricky and sharp, constantly weakening the aura of the evil cultivator's protective magic weapon.

"That's amazing. I'm afraid I'll lose money on this deal."

The evil cultivator felt bitter in his mouth, but he took out a talisman without hesitation. Although he felt distressed, he still started to chant the mantra.

He and the evil monk were inseparable, and they had a clear understanding of each other's abilities.

I thought that this young man who relied on external alchemy tools to enhance his power would be easy to control, but I didn't expect that after a fight, he would force me into this situation.

But facing the siege of Mie Hongzi and his disciples would definitely not be an easy task. After all, they have to break the situation on their own. Otherwise, today might be the anniversary of their death.

On the other side, Lu Cheng was controlling four fourth-level magical instruments at the same time, and his spiritual awareness had reached its limit. Normally, a cultivator could only control three magical instruments of the same level as his own realm at the same time, otherwise his mental strength and spiritual awareness would not be enough to support it.

There are two swords, Cangyan and Qingming, and there are also two items, namely the Wanhun Banner and the Statue of the God Chijun. However, the Statue of the God Chijun can amplify the consciousness of cultivators, and Lu Cheng has been practicing Taoism for nearly sixty years, and his foundation is built with the True Fire of the Five Elements. This foundation-building method has the effect of slowly tempering the cultivator's body, magic power, and consciousness, but the progress is slow and the effect is difficult to show.

After decades of training, Lu Cheng's spiritual awareness has already surpassed that of other cultivators at the same level by half a degree. Combined with the special powers of divine instruments, he can now use his spiritual awareness without any hindrance.

"A fifth-level, top-grade spiritual talisman! I'm really willing to give it up."

There are no Yuanying Zhenjun realm cultivators in this world Tongxuan Realm, so the fifth-level top-grade talisman is already the highest-grade talisman that Tongxuan Realm can have.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some Jindan Zhenren cultivators would search for the immortal palace and obtain the rare treasures left over from the previous era: sixth-order magic weapons and talismans, but even if they appear, they will basically not fall into the hands of Jindan Grandmasters.

Sensing the abnormal changes in the vital energy of heaven and earth nearby, Lu Cheng became extremely alert.

It is extremely difficult to refine a fifth-grade top-quality talisman. Even in the twelve top sects in the Tongxuan Realm, this item can be regarded as a sect's foundation.

"I don't know how powerful this talisman is, but I can't let him activate it!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Cheng stepped up his efforts to urge the two swords, Cang Yan and Qing Ming, to slash at it from all angles in an attempt to reduce the power of the fourth-tier magical flying shield.

"I really don't believe that you can kill me before I activate the talisman!"

The evil cultivator also intensified the injection of his own spiritual power. The talisman in his hand was called the Taiyi True Fire Talisman. Once it was successfully activated, the flame would become spiritual and would hunt down the recipient to death. In a short period of time, it would be more terrifying than being besieged by two cultivators of the same level.

Once this talisman is used, it can indeed turn the situation around.

But at this moment, in the black and white light, a green sword light once again stabbed in from an almost incredible angle.

This time, the speed of the sword light seemed to be slower. The three white skeleton Taoist soldiers in the black fog of the eclipse attacked with weapons in hand.

Clang.

The sword light collided with the weapon of the White Bone Taoist Soldier, and under the sword light of the Qingming Flying Sword, a white incandescent sword rainbow suddenly lit up.

There is a sword hidden under the sword, and fire is made from wood.

The Cang Yan Flying Sword carried a huge sword force and hit the protective magic weapon of the evil monk with clang and bang.

The flying sword and the iron shield flew down together, and at the same time, a sword intent rushed into the evil cultivator's mind, and the sword intent turned into a dragon-shaped sword intent.

Lu Cheng does not have the ability to use several sword skills at the same time. If he wants to push the sword energy and thunder sound to the limit, then he can use sword intent and sword light rainbow, but he cannot exert their maximum power. The same goes for other skills.

Therefore, this evil cultivator felt the power of Lu Cheng's sword for the first time. For a moment, he felt as if his head was about to be chopped off.

But this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that when he managed to regain his consciousness, he saw that the sword cultivator hidden in the black and white light had already reached him without him noticing. His finger was like a sword, stabbing at him.

"It's useless. Even if you break my magic weapon, I still have the magic power to protect myself... but you took the initiative to fall into my soul-destroying black fog, ah!"

Seize the sky and turn it into a spirit, swallow it up in a chaotic hole.

"what……"

Under the power of the Heaven-stealing and Soul-transforming Technique, Lu Cheng successfully hit the forehead of the evil cultivator with his sword finger. It seemed that something was rapidly flowing into Lu Cheng's body, and a huge chaotic hole appeared between the two of them.

This magic skill, at close range, is far more lethal to cultivators than a sword.

Especially when the fifth-level talisman is being activated.

His mind was damaged, and then his magic power suddenly decreased greatly. The inner elixir in his body was running, and the magic power that continuously flowed out of his dantian could not be continued for a while.

The fifth-grade top-grade Taiyi True Fire Talisman in his hand suddenly dimmed.

The whole process only takes a moment, but for both sides it determines victory or defeat, life or death.

The evil cultivator gave up everything in an instant, including his black gourd, his defensive magic weapon, and his fifth-grade top-grade talisman, and quickly retreated.

But at this moment, if he failed to kill Lu Cheng, he would be the only one to die.

The two swords, Cang Yan and Qing Ming, flew back like dancing dragons, twisting out a tornado of sword energy, chasing after the evil cultivator and directly chopped him to death, turning him into a flying blood mist.

The master was dead, and the three white-bone Taoist soldiers who were approaching Lu Cheng in the black fog were suddenly taken back into the black gourd.

Lu Cheng took the fifth-grade top-grade talisman and the black gourd and just took a breath.

Then I saw a black light flashing before my eyes.

The last thing that was seen was a blade light like a black crescent moon.

boom.

Xiao Chongzi, who had been hiding until this time, suddenly made a move and succeeded.

He swung his sword with great force, slashing directly at Lu Cheng's body, knocking him deep into the rocks under the ground.

"Inner armor?"

The feedback from the magic weapon was not right, but Xiao Chongzi didn't care about it.

Even with the protection of inner armor, a cultivator's physical body being hit by such a severe blow would be fatal. Even if the physical body was not cut in two, the internal organs would be shattered and the life force would be cut off.

"This person is dead. If you kill that beautiful young lady and the old Taoist nun Ming Hongzi, you will never be able to track me down again."

After saying this, Xiao Chongzi rushed towards the female monk Fang Shiman who was in the formation at an incredible speed, accompanied by layers of phantoms.

As long as these two people died, even if the spirit beast was left, there would be no one to control it. For Xiao Chongzi, the crisis would be resolved.

His escape method was really superb, especially at this moment when he was desperately trying, it seemed as if he had no limits.

In the battle formation, Fang Shiman was locked in by Xiao Zhongzi's killing intent, and felt cold all over. Although she was among her fellow apprentice sisters, she naturally thought to herself, "I'm going to die soon." Clang.

But at this moment, there was the sound of a sword whistling.

No matter how fast a cultivator's body movements are, it is difficult to exceed the speed of a sword at the same level, especially in front of a cultivator who has mastered the top sword skills such as Sword Qi and Thunder Sound.

"How?"

Xiao Zhongzi changed his body movements, dodging the slashing and hacking of the two sword lights, one white and one blue. His escape method naturally stagnated.

He turned around suddenly, and what he saw was a scene he couldn't believe.

In the Five Elements Sword City, the young Taoist priest came out of the rock pit with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose. He struggled to push himself out, but in his eyes there was a fierce light burning like blood and fire.

Under the tattered robe of this young Taoist priest was a piece of dark gold that had been cut into pieces. However, the dark gold was moving. Upon closer inspection, they were actually dark golden silkworm poisonous insects that gathered together to form an inner armor.

"Golden Silkworm Gu with Hundred Poisons, Insect Armor Technique?"

He slowly uttered the two titles, but Xiao Zhongzi felt a chill rushing straight to his head. He felt that the young Taoist in front of him was really his nemesis.

The Golden Silkworm Gu, which is known as a hundred-poisonous insect, is a legendary poisonous insect in southern Xinjiang, and no one has had the chance to see it for hundreds of years.

The only place where it can be seen is the Moyun Cave in Yinshan Mountain in the southern wilderness. However, after seeing the poisonous golden silkworm Gu of Yinshan Zhenren, not many people in this world can have a chance to leave alive.

Moreover, the poisonous golden silkworm Gu is ferocious and difficult to resist. It can chew and gnaw the flying sword of sword cultivators and swallow the magic weapons of immortals alive. It has an iron mouth and steel teeth. When it is released, the sky is full of flashing golden light, just like a swarm of locusts passing by. It will chew whatever it sees, leaving no residue behind.

Even if Yinshan Zhenren used such vicious insects, he would not use them to perform the insect armor technique. If one of them accidentally bit the flesh and drew blood, the flesh would be in danger.

In fact, Xiao Chongzi was too busy being shocked at this moment, or maybe he still lacked knowledge, otherwise he would have been able to see that Lu Cheng's golden silkworm Gu was far inferior to Yinshan Zhenren's golden silkworm Gu. Lu Cheng relied on the golden dragon external pill to protect his magic power and insect armor, as well as his own magic power and a body equivalent to the ninth level of body refining to be able to withstand his sword.

Even so, he still suffered some internal injuries.

Therefore, Xiao Chongzi's previous judgment was actually correct. If it were the majority of ordinary cultivators, they would have been dead by now after being hit by his previous attack.

"Evil thief, suffer death!"

At this time, Third Uncle Mie Hongzi had already chopped off the evil monk's head with his exterminating sword energy.

At this moment, the sword flew up and stabbed down.

Under the exterminating sword energy, it felt as if all life within the area was annihilated.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Chongzi cursed inwardly and raised his knife to resist.

He seemed to have completely recovered and even his magical powers had improved.

Therefore, for a while, he fought with Mie Hongzi and was evenly matched, and he was not at a disadvantage.

But in fact, Xiao Chongzi used the secret magic of the demon sect to stimulate a drop of his own blood essence in his body to suppress internal injuries and enhance his magic power.

After killing two juniors, Lu Cheng and Fang Shiman, as planned, he would escape immediately and not appear in front of Mie Hongzi for at least a hundred years.

He knew that Mie Hongzi was practicing a Taoist secret technique of nurturing sword energy, and that his sword had been sealed for at least sixty years, so he should not be able to use it for himself. If not for this, Xiao Chongzi would never dare to show up in front of Mie Hongzi so easily.

However, using magic power to stimulate potential and increase power explosively will ultimately have its flaws and inharmonies.

The more powerful the opponent is, the more obvious this flaw becomes.

Mie Hongzi was furious that Xiao Chongzi had plotted against Junior-Nephew Lu in front of him, so he drew his sword without mercy.

The two sides fought fiercely. Xiao Chongzi used various offensive and defensive weapons, fire and thunder talismans, but they were all easily resolved by Mie Hongzi's extinction sword energy.

Finally, after the two sides exchanged hundreds of moves, Mie Hongzi's advantage had accumulated into a winning advantage. He swung his sword, and a brilliant sword light suddenly fell, sharp and ruthless.

Xiao Chongzi's magic power was also exhausted at this time. After taking the sword head-on, he vomited blood and retreated, flying backwards and falling to the ground.

"Mie Hongzi, you can't kill me!"

"Why not? Even if the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace comes in person today, I will make you die under my sword."

But at this moment, two dark shadows appeared out of nowhere. They suddenly rushed over, intercepted the sword energy of Mie Hongzi, and at the same time stood in front of Xiao Chongzi.

They were two monks in black robes, with gray hair and old faces.

"According to the order of the Sect Master, I will bring the demon envoy Xiao Chongzi back to the sect from now on. Fellow Daoist Mie Hongzi, I'm sorry, but I can guarantee that after today, you will not see Xiao Chongzi again for sixty years.

Therefore, please give some face to Fellow Daoist Mie Hongzi and let this person go."

The cultivation and magical powers of these two cultivators who suddenly appeared were even greater than the three people who had just been defeated by Mie Hongzi and Lu Cheng.

But Lu Cheng was already injured at this moment, and among the crowd, only Mie Hongzi was able to hold on independently.

"Dongyang Orthodox Church, Demon Palace Elder?"

"Exactly."

Facing Mie Hongzi's question, the two elders of the Demon Palace each bowed with a smug look on their faces, which was normal.

In the Eastern Region and the Northern Frontier, the Dongyang Orthodox Church holds a prominent position and is regarded as a god by the barbarians. In the eyes of the people in these two places, the elders of the Demon Palace are gods walking on earth.

Countless people offered their life's wealth, wives and children just to be able to kiss the land they walked on, and their piety was to the point of madness.

Therefore, in the eyes of these two people, their appearance at this time has already given enough face to Cangjian Palace to destroy Hongzi.

If it weren't for the fact that behind the Cangjian Palace's destruction of Hongzi were two contemporary masters, Huang Longzi from the Wanshou Incarnation Palace and Chi Shenzi from the Huoyun Palace, they really didn't want to give this face.

"Not to appear again within sixty years? Ha, this Xiao Chongzi used a secret method to stimulate two drops of life essence and blood in his body. If it weren't for the mysterious magic, he would have died at this moment. Even if there are countless elixirs in the Dongyang Orthodox Church, these sixty years of recuperation are necessary. Is this considered giving face?"

"However, although my internal injuries are not serious at the moment, my spiritual consciousness and magical power have been greatly depleted. I am afraid that it is difficult for me to exert my full combat power. In this case, Third Uncle should choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge."

The situation over there indeed fell into silence for a moment.

"What if I refuse?"

After a while, Third Uncle uttered these words.

"Mie Hongzi, we are only doing this for the sake of Master Huanglong and Master Chishen. You..."

"I, Mie Hongzi, have never clung to others in my life. When my elder brother and second brother were in danger, I also risked my life to save them. The friendship between the three of us is not something you devil brats can interfere with!"

Rumble, rumble...

From deep within the ghost cave of the Yellow Springs, a huge shock was transmitted and a dark sky rose up, as if separating the two worlds.

At the same time, Lu Cheng saw a very bright and sharp sword light shining brightly, almost filling his entire vision, it was extremely brilliant.

Clang.

Along with the sound of the sword, the flying sword that had been sealed for sixty years suddenly flew out of the scabbard.

The name of the sword, Pojun!
As the sword was swung out, all the past events flooded into my mind.

Back then, the three siblings traveled the world, trusting each other with life and death. The eldest brother was aloof and generous, while the second brother was frivolous and suave. He himself was a student of a famous family, so he sometimes had conflicts with the second brother who came from the countryside, and the eldest brother always mediated.

Later, the three of them entered Taoism together and stayed together for a hundred years.

I finally developed some feelings for my elder brother.

However, he was later framed by the elders of the Demon Sect and injured his body. His two sworn brothers searched the world for a fifth-level demon pill to heal his wounds and prolong his life.

But in the end, the pill only became a medium-quality one, which made him feel unhappy.

From then on, he devoted himself to sword practice and distanced himself from his elder brother. When he looked back, hundreds of years had passed.

Mie Hongzi looked calm, his eyes gradually changed from fluctuating to peaceful, but this kind of peace did not make people feel friendly. Instead, it revealed a coldness that went straight into the heart, which made people think of a word: heartless!

This sword energy, which was so powerful that it could kill both others and oneself, completely engulfed the two elders of the Heavenly Demon Palace in an instant.
