Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 174 Kill and Feed the Dog

Let those who are ambitious go to a place where their ambitions can grow.

Let those who long for quietness go to a peaceful and tranquil place for practice.

Fifty years ago, a random arrangement in Lu Cheng pushed the fate of two girls in two completely different directions.

At that time, Lu Cheng had never thought that he would meet Miao Chuyun and Qin Wanning here today, and see one sword sect destroy another.

When Lu Cheng appeared, the cultivators from the Netherworld Sword Sect and Miaohua Sect were all stunned, and then quickly quieted down. Even if there were some who were filled with murderous intent and wanted to continue taking action, they were quickly held down by their companions.

"If you are in a hurry to reincarnate, don't drag us along. That person is 'Five Elements Sword' Lu Cheng."

"The sixth in the world, Lu Cheng? Yes, it's him. I've seen his portrait."

"Why is he here?"

"We are already too close to the Northern Divine Sect's territory."

Lu Cheng ignored the whispers around him, and completely ignored the remnants of the Mingji Sword Sect around Miao Chuyun. He just focused his eyes on the little girl.

"You could have been on that side. Now that things have come to this, do you regret it? Perhaps I can help you change your fate again and return to the Miaohua Sect."

Lu Cheng asked.

Back then, Miao Chuyun was born in Miaohua Sect. Because he had a birthmark on his face, he became a target of bullying.

But today, she is already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. She has been reborn, with a beautiful appearance and considerable magical powers. If she returns to the Miaohua Sect, regardless of other factors, the Sect Master of the Miaohua Sect will accept her back just for the sake of Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng's face, and will not make things too difficult for her.

In this way, with Miao Chuyun's current foundation in Taoism, if he enters the magic path again, he may not be able to cultivate a body of lead and mercury Taoist pills in the future and enjoy eight hundred years of free and easy Taoist practice.

"what are you saying?"

At this time, there were still cultivators from the Mingji Sword Sect who could not figure out the situation and wanted to scold but were stopped by their fellow disciples beside them.

At this point, whoever can survive is a survivor. Even if he is sent to the Miaohua Sect, Miao Chuyun's Taoist practice can be regarded as leaving a spark for the Mingji Sword Sect.

"Junior sister, agree to it."

A senior sister from the Mingji Sword School who was already seriously injured said this.

Upon hearing this, Miao Chuyun recalled her sixty years of cultivation. She was an abandoned baby in the Miaohua Sect and didn't even know who her parents were when she was born.

The female practitioners of Miaohua Sect lead a dissolute life. Even if they have mastered some secret techniques, they cannot be safe when they are aroused. Therefore, such things are not uncommon. After living like this for more than ten years, they have been beaten and scolded because of their ugly appearance. In the process of serving others, they have become accustomed to these people's indulgence, emptiness and despair, and have no peace or joy at all.

Later, with the help of this senior brother, he joined the Mingji Sword Sect.

The teacher is extremely strict, and most of the senior brothers and sisters are serious. Even Senior Sister Huiru likes to bully me. But after fifty years of practicing Taoism, I feel at peace with it. These senior brothers and sisters really care about me.

I have been practicing Taoism for sixty years and have enjoyed peace and joy for fifty years. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

Thinking of this, Miao Chuyun knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Cheng:

"This bow is Chu Yun's way of thanking Senior Brother Lu for helping me to enter the Mingji Sword Sect. It is Chu Yun's great fortune to be able to enter the Mingji Sect in this life. Whether I live or die, I have no regrets."

The female cultivator's serene smile as she faced life and death was like bluestone after rain, clear and moving.

"You are a good kid who has a clear mind and no regard for life or death. Little girl, are you willing to become my disciple? You can still be the head of the Mingji Sword School, but you have to inherit and practice my swordsmanship."

When Lu Cheng said this, he stopped, because a cultivator was flying over from a distance, and it was a bloody shadow.

"Hahahaha, He Cheng from the Blood River Sect meets Fellow Daoist Lu."

When the blood shadow came closer, it condensed and revealed a middle-aged red-eyed monk in a blood-stained robe. His face was pale and his pupils were red, and his whole body exuded a strange aura, which was a manifestation of the Blood River Sect's magic skills being cultivated to a high level.

"It's a rare occasion that Daoist Brother Lu is in the mood to accept a disciple today, so this little girl is my gift. However, my sect has joined forces with the Miaohua, Netherworld, Divine Soldiers, and Hundred Beasts sects to wipe out the Mingji Sword Sect. If only one or two people escape, it's still okay. But if too many people escape, it will be hard for me to report to my master."

He Cheng, a true disciple of the Blood River Sect, was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Refining Gang in the evil sect. Naturally, he had a good mind and knew when to advance and retreat. With the reminders from Sima Peng and Qin Wanning, he immediately understood that it was best not to provoke the person in front of him easily.

Therefore, although He Cheng was quite jealous of Miao Chuyun's intelligence and spirit, he still decided to do her a favor and let her go. If Lu Cheng could be "sensible" at this time, the two of them could even become good friends.

Of course, all of this was just He Cheng’s own thoughts.

In his opinion, he had practiced Taoism hundreds of years earlier than the other party, and now he had reached the ninth level of Refining Gang. With the inheritance of the Xuehe Sect, even if he faced a Jindan Grandmaster, He Cheng had a great chance of escaping unscathed. With his cultivation level and status, this was already considered a humble attitude.

However, Lu Cheng waited quietly for the other party to finish speaking, then frowned and said doubtfully:
"How dare you appear in front of me?"

Under the Palace of the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Western Regions, there are two major evil sects in the world, one is the Thousand Corpses Sect, and the other is the Nine Palaces Demon Realm.

The Nine Palaces Demon Realm is a large special space in the Western Regions. It is vast and rich in cultivation resources. There are many cultivation forces entrenched in it. The nine strongest sects are collectively called the Nine Palaces Demon Realm, and the Blood River Sect is the strongest among them. Some people even believe that the Blood River Sect alone can be fully regarded as one of the sixteen evil sects in the world.

Because of this, there were some conflicts between the Blood River Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.

Therefore, Lu Cheng wondered how Yu He Cheng dared to appear in front of him so brazenly.

With a "clang" sound, the sword was unsheathed and made a loud noise. In He Cheng's perception, a hurricane of sword energy suddenly rose up and pressed down across the sky, like a huge tide of energy from the sky, like a rainstorm and lightning, like a flame flowing for thousands of miles, like icy rain and frost... He Cheng could only feel this much, because when the sword was swung out, it seemed as if the mountains and rivers were shaken and the world was transformed, which wiped out all his extra thoughts except for escaping.

"How could there be such a huge difference? How could there be such a huge difference? My Blood River Dao Law has clearly reached its essence. Even a Jindan Grandmaster can only defeat me, but cannot kill me!"

In this sword strike, Lu Cheng used four methods: the five elements sword intent, sword intent forming momentum, sword light turning into rainbow, and sword energy and thundering sound.

However, the method is extremely complicated, and it appears simple when it is revealed from the outside.

In fact, it is to fix the opponent's mind with sword intent, and then use sword light to kill his body.

Everyone present saw Lu Cheng swinging his sword, and a five-colored sword light that seemed slow but was actually fast flew out from his sleeve. The sword light drew a mysterious trajectory full of the principles of heaven and earth, and circled around He Cheng's body.

The next moment, He Cheng let out an earth-shattering scream, and his body split in two. The lower half fell off, and the upper half suddenly turned into a blood rainbow and fled to the southwest at an astonishing speed.

It was just that Lu Cheng, looking at the girl Miao Chuyun today, really liked her and wanted to take her as his disciple, so he showed off his skills intentionally. When he waved his sleeves, dark golden light flowed and flickered.

"Woof woof woof woof!"

It sounded like the barking of a domestic dog, but the sound was loud enough to fill the sky and earth. This brought an extremely terrifying feeling to He Cheng's heart as he was performing the Blood Escape Technique.

A short-haired, white, thin-waisted dog, with a body as big as an elephant and a head as high as two or three stories high, stood in the air at this moment, with red eyes and sharp teeth, barking and swallowing.

It formed a huge suction force, which instantly stopped He Cheng who was flying rapidly.

The innate magical power, "the sun and the moon in the belly" swallows the sky and the earth!
Originally, the magic power of the fourth-level dog demon was still a little insufficient, but Lu Cheng secretly circulated his magic power, and a black ring-shaped rotating chaos hole appeared in front of the dog demon's huge mouth.

The combination of the two increased the power of "The Sun and the Moon in the Belly" dramatically.

"Ah, no, Brother Lu, please spare my life, ah!"

The true disciple of the Xuehe Sect, who had led several sects of cultivators to destroy the sect and the entire clan just a moment ago, had turned into bloody food for a dog at this moment.

The fourth-level dog demon received instructions from its master and ate voraciously, with its mouth full of blood. Then it pounced on the ground, picked up the fallen half of He Cheng's body and swallowed it, leaving a complete corpse of He Cheng in its stomach.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng waved his sleeves and took away the short-haired, white, thin-waisted dog.

The innate magical power of the sun and moon in the belly is an extremely domineering and powerful spell. A fourth-level dog demon can use it to increase his magic power very quickly.

However, if it cannot be digested, the intestines will rupture and the person will die immediately.

Lu Cheng consulted the classics of the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts and knew that for a monster with this kind of innate magical power, it is relatively safest to devour human cultivators, especially cultivators from the Blood River Sect. For some reason, the chances of successfully refining them are extremely high.

If not for this, Lu Cheng would not have risked the life of the fourth-level dog demon to show his abilities. He had too many abilities to show off, so there was no need to gamble with the life of the demon beast in the cauldron.

After refining, the dog demon's own magic power can also be increased rapidly and significantly.

He Cheng died, and Lu Cheng turned around and continued to ask Miao Chuyun whether he was willing to be his disciple.

At this moment, even the least fearless disciples of the Mingji Sword Sect could not help but swallow their saliva secretly. It would be too miserable to die, but if they died and were then fed to the devil's demon dog, that would be too miserable.

Miao Chuyun was so blessed at this moment that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Miao Chuyun, I am willing to be Master Lu's disciple."

"Good boy."

Lu Cheng helped Miao Chuyun to stand up. He felt that this fine material and beautiful jade already had a solid foundation. With a little carving, it would become the material for making top-grade pills in the future.

Therefore, although Lu Cheng originally had no plan to accept disciples before refining the golden elixir, he was still tempted after seeing Miao Chuyun.

With outstanding disciples, many things can be handed over to them in the future, without having to do everything personally. At the same time, recruiting disciples is also one of the most stable subordinate relationships in the Tongxuan Realm. It is taboo to betray the master easily, not to mention the righteous path, even the demon sect is taboo.

Just when Lu Cheng was about to pick out a few swords to give to this new disciple, a talisman suddenly flew out from his body, and after a few flashes, it quickly fled towards the direction of Guizang Mountain.

This is the sect's jade talisman. When this talisman flies up, it means that something important has happened in the sect. As long as it does not concern one's own life or death, all disciples in the nearby area must return to the sect immediately.

At this time, the cultivators from the Netherworld Sword Sect and the Miaohua Sect had already known the opportunity and fled. Lu Cheng directly told Miao Chuyun to come to Guanyuan Peak to find him, and then he suddenly merged with the sword light and flew away.

Lu Cheng has joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace for nearly half a century, and the sect's jade talisman has only been used a few times. Now, of course, he has to go back immediately to find out the situation.
