Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 166: Killing on Behalf of Heaven

The Taoist who was flying in the sky was using his magic power and Taoism accumulated over thousands of years to fight against his first forty-nine calamities.

It is said that in the last era of cultivating immortals, there was no such thing as forty-nine calamities. It was only because the cultivators of this era inhaled and exhaled the Earthly Evils and Heavenly Gang, stealing the true breath of heaven and earth to practice, that this calamity occurred. After the cultivators resisted the calamity, they would even be weak in body and mind for quite a long time.

However, on the other side, the soul-transferring monks of the Lin family were somewhat panicked.

"What's going on? What do you look like?"

Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu had already started the formation, swallowed pills and meditated to recover for a while. Seeing that the Lin family's soul-transferring monks were in a panic, the two looked at each other and stepped forward to inquire.

"There is a group of monks who somehow sneaked in. Now they are not far from us..."

A gray-robed monk from the Lin family said this.

"You are in control of the formation, can't you make some adjustments to trap them to death?" Cheng Huangzhong asked with a frown.

Hearing this, the gray-robed monk smiled bitterly and said:

"Nine Netherworld Devouring Realm, this formation is a remnant of an ancient formation. Our Lin family has spent hundreds of years to complete it. Some of the delicate and critical parts cannot be moved at all. This person must have obtained the formation diagram outside, so he found a gap and entered without any hindrance. We can't do anything to them for the time being."

"You two distinguished guests do not need to worry about this matter. At this moment, my Lin family has already sent people to surround and kill them. I think it will not be long before we can get good news back."

At this time, a monk in white came forward and said this.

Hearing this, Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu looked at each other again, and then Lu Zhongshu said: "If there is anything you need from us, please speak up."

If it was before the Lin family's ancestor refined the golden elixir, the two of them would never have been so humble.

But today, the dragon and the tiger of the Lin family ancestor have joined forces, and the situation is set.

Lu Zhongshu was an abandoned disciple of the Xiantian school, and Cheng Huangzhong was just an unappreciated elder of the Demon Palace in the Dongyang Orthodox Church.

Both of them had some intention of angering the Lin family. Moreover, the Chongyuan Dixue Flowers were ripening one after another. Both of them were unwilling to leave before getting the benefits they deserved.

"No need. My Lin family is capable of handling this matter." The white-robed monk asserted.

In an area where the earth, fire and dark energy are blending and rolling.

"Okay, everyone, stay alert in these locations and form a formation to protect yourself. This should be enough to delay until the formation is finished evolving."

Lu Cheng said this after counting with his left hand for a long time. Sweat was already showing on his forehead. Compared to fighting with swords, this kind of mental arithmetic was not what he was good at.

"What about Senior Brother Lu?"

Fang Shiman asked this. She was gentle by nature and habitually cared about others, which made Mie Hongzi nod secretly beside her.

"I will go to the core of the formation with Third Uncle and try to break it. Otherwise, we will be under the sword of others and they will have the final say on when to strike us."

"We are willing to go with Master."

It's not just Qi Fengping and Fang Shiman, all twelve disciples of Mie Hongzi are like this. It can be seen that although this Taoist nun is strict, she is very much loved by her disciples.

"Just listen to your Senior Brother Lu and wait here. Your Senior Brother Lu and I will be back soon."

Seeing the unwilling expressions on Qi Fengping's faces, Lu Cheng thought for a moment, and then conveyed a message to Qi Fengping. Then, he and his third uncle Mie Hongzi went to the underground core area of ​​Huangquan Valley.

But before he flew far on the sword, he ran into a group of strange men and women in Taoist costumes.

These men and women in Taoist costumes had different appearances, some were quite handsome and beautiful, but no matter how they tried to hide it, they all had an aura that was not human, and their eyes were filled with extremely cold emotions.

When they saw Mie Hongzi, these people were stunned at first, as if they had not yet figured out how to make contact. However, Mie Hongzi was much more decisive than them and drew his sword directly.

"Monster, die!"

Mie Hongzi, who has mastered the secret art of sword-raising, has become incredibly sharp and powerful.

Many of those Taoist-dressed men and women were chopped down by the swift sword, and only then did they react and began to use their own magical weapons.

Those who were chopped down were not all dead. Among the broken human skin and corpses, wriggling strange insects suddenly emerged.

Some are millipedes, some look like beetles, and they are all soul-transferring monks of the Lin family.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng was quickly enveloped and swallowed by two auras, one black and one white. It was the Yin-Yang escape magic that was created by combining two magical instruments, one demonic and one divine.

It is specially designed to counter the spiritual consciousness of cultivators. Combined with the Tianyi Zhen Jue that Lu Cheng himself practiced, it can make him disappear into nothingness in an instant in a chaotic environment.

It's not that he was avoiding or cowardly fighting, but under the sharp and fierce large-scale sword energy of his third uncle Mie Hongzi, Lu Cheng felt that it was easiest to achieve victory if he blended in and filled in the gaps.

And in fact, it was indeed so. Mie Hongzi wielded the Pojun Sword and attacked head-on. Lu Cheng was wrapped in black and white energy, flying in the sky like a wisp of gray mist, and he would slash out with a sword from time to time. Although the sword energy was not as fierce as the Pojun Sword, it slashed down like a storm.

But every time he struck out with the sword, he would kill one person, or even two people. His timing, the concentration and dispersion of the sword energy were extremely precise.

In just half an hour, all 24 soul-shifting monks sent by the Lin family were wiped out, and not even a single person escaped alive.

Even if the Lin family has accumulated strength for a thousand years and has a large number of soul-transferring monks, under the premise that most of them are needed to maintain the operation of the formation, this is already the maximum force the Lin family can send.

If they were just trying to protect themselves, Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi should have withdrawn at this time, and the Lin family might not continue to pursue the matter. However, they chose to fly away quickly to the core area of ​​Huangquan Valley on their swords.

This information was obtained through the water mirror technique.

The white-robed cultivator from the Lin family turned pale in disbelief. “How is it possible? They killed twenty-four family elites and ordinary Jindan Grandmasters, but they couldn’t even stop those two for an hour. Could it be that those two are Jindan True Immortals?”

In fact, Mie Hongzi, who had just mastered the secret technique of sword-cultivation, was really close to the level of a Jindan Zhenren realm cultivator.

"What should we do now? We can no longer withdraw the monks guarding the formation."

The gray-robed monk from the Lin family asked this.

"In this case, we can only ask the two Grandmasters to come. Even if the family has to pay a higher price afterwards, we cannot allow anyone to disturb our ancestors from refining the golden elixir!"

The monk in white gritted his teeth and said this.

However, at this moment, a huge divine thought swept down from above everyone’s heads: “No need, just let them come.

Reverse life and death, and refine the golden elixir. Naturally, there will be disasters coming. Instead of avoiding some disasters, it is better to face them. "

It sounds like a sound, but in fact it is a huge divine thought.

The Taoist priest Lin Chong was sitting cross-legged in the air at this moment, with clouds of dust and stone rising from his body. This was a kind of earth-borne thunder, but even though he was struck by thunder, the Taoist priest looked relaxed at this moment, as if he was in danger and lifted a heavy weight with ease.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you two Daoists. Lin Chong will never forget your kindness in achieving enlightenment today."

As soon as these words fell, Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu both walked out, cupped their hands and said, "We are willing to serve Master Lin."

There is a huge difference in status between the Jindan Grandmaster and the Jindan True Person. Even if the Lin family ancestor has only achieved the Jindan True Person realm, it is still a considerable gain for the two of them.

As for the cultivator who came here, the two did not think that he was a Jindan Zhenren at all.

In the entire Tongxuan Realm, even if one Jindan Zhenren is found, it is likely that even fifty of them cannot be found. They are scattered all over the world. A fifth-level Chongyuan Cleansing Blood Flower is not worth a Jindan Zhenren's effort.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Mie Hongzi charged in with her sword, although the sword energy was sharp and fierce, in the eyes of Cheng and Lu, who were both well-informed, they could naturally see that she was not a Jindan Zhenren.

"It turned out to be the Sword Master of Hidden Sword Palace, Mie Hongzi. I heard that she had a secret affair with Master Huang Longzi. Will you spare her life?"

"Huang Longzi is already old. He has been hiding in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace to enjoy his blessings. He has not dared to take action for hundreds of years. He himself is also about to face a great disaster and can hardly protect himself. Why should we be afraid of him?"

After saying that, Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu both controlled their escape lights and flew up into the sky to meet the female priest with sword energy as strong as a rainbow.

Cheng Huangzhong immediately sacrificed a long sword that was shining with silver light. The name of the sword was Taiyin Lushen Sword. It was an extremely evil magic weapon. It could only exert its full power after a blood sacrifice, and it consumed a lot of mana to wield it.

In addition to the two masters Cheng Huangzhong and Lu Zhongshu, there were also some Lin family monks who were guarding this place who besieged Mie Hongzi.

Cheng Huangzhong wanted to wait until these Lin family soul-transferring monks were killed by Mie Hongzi, and then use their lives to remove the sharpness of the opponent's sword energy, and then use their blood and souls to sacrifice his own magic sword and kill Mie Hongzi by surprise.

As for consuming mana, the technique he practiced emphasized the accumulation of mana but not the purity of internal energy. He no longer expected to make further progress on the path of cultivation in this lifetime, and only wanted to increase the number of mana levels in the Jindan realm. This was also the choice of many elders in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

After all, there has never been a cultivator who has transformed from the fetus into a Nascent Soul in this world, so it is understandable that he would make such a choice.

Cheng Huangzhong's move brought the cruel calculations of the demon sect monks to the extreme.

After all, Lu Zhongshu came from the Xiantian school. He raised his hand and released a golden spear, which shot towards Mie Hongzi unexpectedly from a strange angle.

Mie Hongzi let out a clear whistle, and the sword light of the Pojun Immortal Sword in his hand increased greatly, and actually wrapped her entire body. Then the sword light first cut the Demon Knife, and then cut the golden long spear. In the gap, there was still strength left, and it turned into a rainbow and flew around, killing the Lin family's soul-transferring monks who came from all directions and transformed into human forms and pounced on her one by one.

Destroy emotions and yourself, and be ruthless in this life. Paying such a price, Mie Hongzi also cultivated a sword skill: the unity of man and sword.

With this unique skill, a sword cultivator's attack power is equal to his defense power. No attack in the world can break through the three-foot sword defense of a sword cultivator. It is said that as long as one cannot break the flying sword, one can never hurt the sword cultivator.

Of course, that effect cannot be achieved in reality.

Lu Cheng once watched Master Chi Shenzi fighting with Master Gu Taixu of the Xiantian School with swords. Master Chi Shenzi had also mastered the unique skill of combining man and sword, but he was still swallowed by Master Gu Taixu's extremely terrifying magic power and was forced to emit sword light.

Moreover, Master Huang Longzi has not yet mastered this unique sword skill, but his reputation in the Tongxuan world is even higher than that of Master Chi Shenzi.

The Jade Dragon Sword Technique of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace is not as good as the Red Extreme Sword Technique of the Fire Cloud Mansion, but its advantages in body training and magic power accumulation are enough to make up for the gap.

Mie Hongzi combined man and sword to seize the initiative, and with his sword transformed into a rainbow, he rushed towards Lu Zhongshu and aimed the tip of the sword directly at his forehead.

Although Mie Hongzi's sword was fast and fierce, Lu Zhongshu's reaction was also extremely quick.

The magic power in Dantian started to circulate, and two jade talismans, one yin and one yang, turned into light and flew out, surrounding Lu Zhongshu's body, forming a protective shield that protected him firmly inside.

There was a sudden clanging sound, followed by flashes of light.

The Pojun Immortal Sword suddenly pierced the Yin-Yang Barrier, causing ripples to spread, but it was ultimately unable to break through the protection of the Yin-Yang Jade Talisman, a fifth-tier defensive artifact.

However, at this time, Cheng Huangzhong's Taiyin Lushen Sword had already carried the blood of those Lin family cultivators and came from behind to kill them.

The devil's sword is agile and nimble, like a blood dragon pouncing on its prey.

However, the moment when one's momentum is the strongest is also the moment when one's weakness is the greatest.

At this moment, Cheng Huangzhong did not notice that a gray mist had approached him without him noticing.

The lights of the two swords burst out in an instant.

The double swords kill, wood helps the fire, the sword intent becomes powerful, and the rainbow breaks the shadow.

Lu Cheng was even worried that this sword was not fast and powerful enough, so he activated his own blood fire to burn some of his life force to increase his magic power, and compressed and pushed it forward with the sword energy and magic power of the Broken Meridians.

He was determined to cut off Huang Zhong's head.

Even though he was a Dan realm cultivator, with a mind as fast as lightning, Lu Cheng's sword was too fast, fierce, abrupt, and dangerous. In addition, the sword intent instantly suppressed his spiritual consciousness. Before Cheng Huangzhong could even use his defensive magic weapon, the sharp sword light had already approached his neck.

"Is this old man going to die here?"

At this moment, a golden light suddenly fell from a distance and hit the side of the blade of Qingming Flying Sword. An extremely huge force deflected the sword light.

As a result, the light from Lu Cheng's two swords only passed by Cheng Huangzhong's neck, but failed to successfully cut off his head.

Blood gushed out from the side of the neck. For an ordinary person, this would be fatal, but for a master monk, it was just a minor flesh wound.

You should know that the soul of a Jindan Grandmaster can even leave the body and merge into the inner elixir to survive independently for a period of time. Many cultivators whose bodies are destroyed use the inner elixir to protect their souls and reincarnate. The higher the level of the cultivator, the less dependent on the body, and the greater the scope for other options.

"Alas?"

Lin Chong, who was going through the Earth Tribulation not far away, let out a slight sigh. He didn't expect that his magic power could not completely deflect Lu Cheng's sword light.

Cheng Huangzhong was still injured.

Lu Cheng dissipated his strength, adjusted his body and sword light, and also looked over.

The two looked at each other, and both of them suddenly felt a certain connection.

"Heaven is sending murderous intent?"

"The Teng Snake is lurking, and the Tai Sui star is coming!?"

Taoist Lin Chong sensed that in this Nine Netherworld realm, the murderous intent of the Heavenly Dao coming from the Chiyang Realm seemed to be relying on the little Taoist in front of him to enforce justice and kill on behalf of Heaven.

However, what Lu Cheng thought of was the fortune-telling by Master Qingxuan. It turned out that it was really pointing at his third uncle and himself respectively.
