Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 178 The Normal Path of a Cultivator and Overcoming Disasters, Stopping Killing with Killing
High in the sky, a sharp sword light opened a path, traveling through the vast sea and blue sky at an extremely high speed.

Lu Cheng himself masters the superior sword technique of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound. Even if he only uses his own magic power in the late stage of Refining Gang, he will be faster than most masters in the Jindan realm in a short period of time. What's more, he also has the Golden Dragon External Pill as an auxiliary force.

Therefore, the overall speed of escape was fast enough to reach the realm of Jindan cultivators. It was only two steps slower than the previous brothers who took turns to drive the spirit boat day and night.

Disguised as a newly promoted master, he first went to Grandma Jinhua's Biyun Cave to investigate the situation. Based on the latest intelligence, he decided how to act and even which force to join.

"There shouldn't be anyone who would make enemies everywhere and attack a Jindan Grandmaster at will. Even if I'm attacked, I have a high chance of escaping with my sword escape technique. So, this trip may seem dangerous, but it's actually not."

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Cheng was riding his sword at lightning speed. Suddenly, his expression changed and he stopped his sword.

He first used the sword's clear heart, and then focused his mind to look into the distance. Floating in the air, Lu Cheng saw in the distance, there was a faint flash of spiritual light and the violent fluctuations of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

"Someone is fighting? This strength of mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth must be that of a Jindan Grandmaster."

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng adjusted his flying sword to avoid this place and move in another direction. Bloody fights happen every day in Tongxuan Realm, so there is no need to get involved.

As the sword was flying, Lu Cheng glanced inadvertently and saw a huge phantom of a water unicorn faintly appearing in that direction.

"...Water Kirin. Water Kirin!?"

The auspicious beast Qilin is not like a dragon. It can be found everywhere in the Tongxuan Realm. There may even be a dragon living deep in a pool in a poor mountain or bad place.

Lu Cheng had practiced Taoism for a hundred years, and he had only seen the Water Qilin once. He immediately deflected the sword light and flew away in that direction.

This time Lu Cheng used all his strength, the sword light tore through the atmosphere and flew at an extreme speed of fifty-eight thousand miles in one day and one night.

When he got closer, three monks who were fighting appeared in front of Lu Cheng.

Two Jindan realm cultivators in black robes were besieging a tall and beautiful female cultivator, who was Wu Lingjun, the second disciple of Huang Longzi, the real person of Wanshou Palace.

The two of them had some reservations and wanted to capture him alive, otherwise, no matter how strong Wu Lingjun's foundation was or how sophisticated her magic was, she would have been captured by now.

Even so, Wu Lingjun's condition at this moment was extremely miserable.

Most of her aqua blue Taoist robe was torn to pieces, revealing her crystal jade arms and slender thighs. There is no such thing as sexiness in this world. An ordinary woman would have already started to seek death after having her clothes torn like this. Even Wu Lingjun had a cold look in her eyes and showed a desperate look.

"My fellow Daoist, I am Shang Huitong from the Great Desert Island of Dongji. This is my nephew Shang Yunchuan. This girl stole the treasures of my sect. Please do not interfere in this matter."

"Get lost! If you mess with our Dongji Island, you may not be able to survive in this big world."

Both the old and the young are people who have mastered the art of alchemy. The older one has profound magical powers and has reached at least the middle stage of the Jindan stage. Although the younger one only has magical powers at the second level of the Jindan stage, his cultivation is still higher than what Lu Cheng has displayed at this moment.

Shang Yunchuan was not so impetuous and violent in the past, but at this moment, as he looked at Wu Lingjun's exposed arms and legs, his eyes were about to spit fire.

The second generation of the demons mostly practiced the dual cultivation of collecting and replenishing to improve their magic power. Although their foundation was a little weak, they had the care of their elders and achieved something. Shang Yunchuan was one of them. He had practiced Taoism for 400 years and had already mastered the art of alchemy. Although his elixir was of low quality, as long as he could master the secret method of reincarnation on the island in the future, he might be able to expect a thousand years of immortality.

He had seen countless women in his life. This time, when he was out on business with his uncle from the same family, he met Wu Lingjun. He could tell at a glance that she was a female cultivator whose essence had not been lost and who had a solid foundation.

If he used this female cultivator as a cauldron, he would definitely be able to break through the middle stage of the Jindan realm. In the future, he would also have a greater chance of practicing the secret method of reincarnation.

At first, Shang Yunchuan had no intention of using force. He originally wanted to show off his family background and cultivation, and use some means to get the girl into his room.

He never expected that Wu Lingjun would pretend to be nice at first, and then suddenly use a magical weapon when he let down his guard, almost killing him.

He and his uncle had been chasing him all the way up, and although he intentionally did not want to hurt his physical body, he did not expect that Wu Lingjun could hold on for so long.

Wu Lingjun had already explained that she was a disciple of Huang Longzi, the real person of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, but Shang Huitong and Shang Yunchuan did not care and were determined to deal with the matter cleanly afterwards.

"Uncle, we can't let this person go. It would be fine if he avoided us, but now that he has seen us and knows our background, we should capture this bitch and then turn around to hunt down this person."

Shang Yunchuan conveyed this thought to his uncle.

"As it should be."

According to Shang Huitong's spiritual sense, Lu Cheng's magic power was only at the initial stage of Jindan, and his magic power was weak and unstable. In most cases in the Tongxuan Realm, a difference of one small realm in magic power was already a huge gap. Shang Huitong was certainly fully confident in his heart.

Thinking of this, the uncle and nephew of Shang Jia intensified their efforts to use their magic weapons, making it even more difficult for Wu Lingjun to hold on, and blood began to flow from the corners of her mouth.

Just as the uncle and nephew Shang Jia thought, the Taoist who was controlling the sword light immediately turned around and left when he saw this situation.

Wu Lingjun saw this scene. Although she was not disappointed, her spirit was undoubtedly damaged.

But right now.

Lu Cheng used such a magic trick that Wu Lingjun didn't recognize him that he was Lu Cheng, and he suddenly attacked from behind Shang Yunchuan.

Lu Cheng possesses the Golden Dragon External Pill and his Taoist foundation is extremely strong and profound, so he can drive and control a fifth-level magical weapon.

A golden rainbow suddenly shot towards Shang Yunchuan from behind. At the same time, a small blue-black needle appeared in Lu Cheng's left sleeve. As he raised his finger, it emitted a silent faint light and quickly flew away.

"Young man, you are courting death!"

After all, he was from a famous master and had some basic qualities of a master. Shang Yunchuan immediately sacrificed a defensive magic weapon, a flying ring, but before the flying ring could fly twice, it was knocked down by the golden branch of falling treasure.

"what!"

The next moment, Shang Yunchuan screamed miserably as the blue-black flying needle pierced his body. The flying needle quickly went up along his meridians, spreading the poison at the same time.

This golden branch of falling treasures was used by Taoist Lin Chong as his natal magic weapon. It is infinitely magical. The blue-black flying needle is a fifth-tier magic weapon that Lu Cheng found in the Lin family's treasury. It is called the Green Scale Needle. Although it is only a fifth-tier, low-grade magic weapon and is not good at attacking strong points, the Lin family's predecessor who was at the Jindan Grandmaster level back then still made a name for himself with this needle.

Flying needle magic weapons are well-known Yin weapons in the world of cultivation. They are not easy to refine, but they are often successful in using them to secretly harm people.

Of course, the reason why Lu Cheng would sacrifice such a fifth-level magic weapon was because his spiritual sense was not enough. If he had a choice, Lu Cheng would rather sacrifice a fifth-level inferior flying sword, even if there was only one. However, the spiritual sense to control a flying sword is much higher than the spiritual sense to control a flying needle.

"Yunchuan!"

Shang Huitong never expected that his nephew, who was so smart and capable in the past, would be defeated in an instant today.

Here we can see the difference between the Jindan Grandmaster and the Jindan True Man.

If a Jindan Zhenren was hit by a Bi Lin needle, he could even rely on the pure Jindan magic power to force the poison needle out, or at least seal it in time to prevent the Bi Lin needle from attacking the heart meridian.

After all, a Jindan Grandmaster only has the agility of mind movement but not the power of a Jindan True Person. Sometimes, a True Person who has just entered the Jindan stage cannot defeat a Jindan late stage cultivator who has cultivated for hundreds of years. There have also been cases where a Jindan third-grade True Person was killed by a Jindan fourth-grade Grandmaster relying on his powerful magic power.

Shang Huitong pressed his palm on Shang Yunchuan's back, inputting his magic power to help him delay the attack of the Green Scale Flying Needles on his heart.

At the same time, he used his escape technique and a gust of black wind rolled up, wanting to take his nephew away first, force out the flying needle, and then make other plans.

However, at this moment Shang Huitong discovered that a golden cloud was gathering above his head and around him. The sky was full of golden light and buzzing sounds. It was a swarm of insects with an extremely terrifying aura.

"This is the Golden Silkworm Gu with Hundred Poisons? How is that possible? Are you a disciple of the Gu God Cult's Yinshan Patriarch? Quickly take back the Golden Silkworm Gu. My ancestor Shang has always been friends with your Yinshan Patriarch. Don't do something that will make your relatives sad and your enemies happy!"

At this time, Shang Huitong was already full of lies.

He didn't know that Lu Cheng was on good terms with Tang Shi and was quite familiar with the friends of the Yinshan Patriarch. Among them was the old monster Shang from Dongji Island? Even if there was, these two people could not be let go today.

“Hehehehehe… I’m good at using poison needles, and my sword light is swift and mysterious. I feel like my style of painting is becoming more and more wrong.”

The laughter was revealed at the beginning, but the words at the end were whispered to himself. But Lu Cheng had no choice. He couldn't use the Jade Dragon Sword Technique in front of the Second Senior Sister, with eighteen fire dragons circling and dancing between the swords. Wouldn't that be exposing his identity?
Looking at the embarrassed posture of Second Senior Sister Wu Lingjun, Lu Cheng felt that it would be better not to recognize her at this moment, so as to avoid awkward interactions in the future.

However, as a female cultivator, Wu Lingjun is much more ferocious than Lu Cheng.

At this moment, she held up the Hanlin Tourmaline, her natal magic weapon in her hand, and a vortex of cold air rolled up the sea water below and rushed up into the sky. Finally, it turned into a huge ice Qilin Dharma image that appeared out of thin air with astonishing power and pressed down on her.

Shang Huitong immediately released his flying sword upon seeing this, and cut down the Frost Qilin Dharma Image. The power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace's Dao was so great that even Shang Huitong did not dare to underestimate this attack.

The flying sword was extremely powerful, spreading golden light for more than ten feet. It suddenly transformed into a golden dragon and directly cut down the Frost Qilin Dharma Image.

Just at this moment, Lu Cheng waved his sleeves and threw more golden silkworm Gu with hundreds of poisons into the besieging insect swarm.

As he gestured with his hands, the swarm of insects followed the Taoist's hand gestures and transformed into a giant golden palm, pressing against Shang Huitong's back from behind.

Shang Huitong also had a fifth-tier defensive magic weapon, but he had seen the miserable state of his nephew before and was extremely afraid of Lu Cheng's Falling Treasure Branch. In addition to his own defensive magic weapon, he also raised a miserable green aura for double defense.

But in this case, Shang Huitong's offensive power was greatly limited. Even if he killed Wu Lingjun at this moment, it would be difficult to defeat Wu Lingjun who was fighting him desperately with gritting her teeth, and he could not break the swarm of insects around him.

But his defense was so meticulous that even if Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng joined forces, they couldn't break his defense for a while.

Although the Golden Silkworm Gu of a Hundred Poisons has the ability to chew gold and break iron, it can only pounce on those below the Jindan stage. It will take some time to deal with the magical weapons of cultivators in the Jindan stage.

After a cup of tea.

Boom.

Shang Huitong successfully activated a fifth-level wind and fire escape talisman, and a huge pillar of fire rose up from the sky to the earth. The powerful flames forced Wu Lingjun to quickly escape into the sea to avoid the remaining power.

Even though many of the poisonous golden silkworm Gu were burned to death, Shang Huitong rushed out quickly in the wind and fire, and fled far away with his nephew Shang Yunchuan.

Shang Huitong didn't expect that Lu Cheng was waiting for him to escape.

The five flying swords in his sleeves, Tianjun, Qingming, Jinghong, Cangyan, and Xuanzang, formed a five-element flying sword that suddenly flew out of his sleeves:

The sword intent becomes momentum, and the sword energy makes a thunderous sound.

The sword light from the sky was like a five-colored divine thunder, passing by Shang Huitong in the midst of the wind and fire. Although the two were separated in an instant, Lu Cheng was absolutely sure that his sword had hit him.

The faster the sword speed, the more powerful the sword light's killing power is. At the same time, if the opponent's escape speed is calculated and used properly, it can also be added to one's own sword speed to form a relative speed kill.

Of course, the sword did not achieve its full effect as the opponent managed to escape and the sword could not be cut down directly.

"That's fine too."

Lu Chang glanced at Wu Lingjun who had already dived into the water, then quickly chased after her with his sword.

Ordinary cultivators who have mastered the external alchemy method can only bully lower-level cultivators, and it is difficult for them to be on par with the Jindan masters. Therefore, using the inner elixir of a fifth-level monster to practice the external alchemy method has always been considered a waste of resources in the Tongxuan world.

However, Lu Cheng can defeat or even kill the Jindan Grandmaster with his swordsmanship and the poisonous golden silkworm Gu, but he does not expect to achieve his goal in one battle.

In front was a swirling light of wind and fire, and behind was Lu Cheng following closely with the sword energy and thunder sound technique.

The sword light cuts through the atmosphere, breaking through the resistance of air and making the escape speed reach a certain extreme. This kind of swordsmanship is extremely domineering and violent.

However, after casting the spell like this for a long time, the Five Elements Flying Sword could not bear it, and Lu Cheng himself could not bear it either.

Fortunately, Shang Huitong was seriously injured, and it would be difficult for him to escape, let alone with his nephew.

The green-scale needle in Shang Yunchuan's body constantly transmitted the signal to Lu Cheng. Even if Shang Huitong occasionally escaped, Lu Cheng could quickly catch up with him.

That night.

On a deserted island in the southeastern sea, an old monk dressed in black was sneaking around trying to escape under the cover of night.

But in the end he was caught by the young Taoist priest who flew his sword.

“Fellow Daoist, if you had not used up so much of your magical power to save your nephew, you could at least have escaped from my hands.

I have already used up so much mana, why do I have to kill him now?"

The Jade Scale Needle was destroyed at this moment, but Lu Cheng was also sure that Shang Yunchuan must have died. He did not die from the Jade Scale Needle, but from his uncle.

"...I don't want to kill Yunchuan either. Over the years, we have been as close as father and son. No, we are closer than ever. But I don't want to kill him. He won't let me go. I clearly told him that I should leave first to get help, but he just wouldn't listen."

Today, when Shang Huitong was escaping in broad daylight, he was slashed on the head by Lu Cheng.

At this moment, there is still a long sword scar from the right shoulder to the left rib.

The life-and-death crisis, the great loss of magic power, and the sword wound finally broke down Shang Huitong's psychological defenses. After killing Shang Yunchuan with a palm, he chose to escape alone.

However, he didn't expect that he would be caught by Lu Cheng.

"How many Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu do you have? Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand? Or two hundred thousand? It's impossible for Master Yinshan to give all his wealth to his disciples.

Hehehe, when did another Yinshan Immortal appear in this world? "

In order to completely block and explore this sea area with spirit insects, at least 100,000 poisonous golden silkworm Gu were needed. Shang Huitong initially thought that the Taoist in front of him was a disciple of Yinshan Zhenren of Gu Shen Sect, but now he clearly felt that he was not. But how could anyone in this world raise 100,000 golden silkworm Gu silently?
What do these vicious insects and poisonous poisons usually eat? Do they eat soil?

"Fellow Daoist, please stop talking nonsense and go to your death."

As Shang Huitong faced the golden cloud of insects rolling in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his own practice in this life:

At that time, the ancestor of the Shang family had not yet refined the golden elixir, and there were still several hostile cultivator families on the Great Desert Island that were still powerful.

At that time, I knew that if I wanted to go far on this path, I must remember: be cautious and avoid greed.

Practice carefully, survive, and wait for your own opportunity. No one will never encounter an opportunity in their lifetime. As long as you live long enough, you will always encounter it. At that time, you must seize it.

Another aspect is to avoid greed. Greed blinds the heart. Most of the monks in this world die because of this. They only care about the immediate benefits but fail to see the dangers behind.

And this time it was a fatal disaster.

Yunchuan was blinded by beauty, and he was blinded by the benefits Yunchuan promised him. He was obscured by the aura of disaster and eventually ended up in this situation.

"How come you forgot the truth you understood when you were young, after you grew up?"

With a long sigh in his heart, Shang Hui combined his whole body with sword light and turned into a golden dragon, and pounced on it with great ferocity, but it was like a dragon causing trouble in the sea.

No matter how ferocious the dragon was, there was always a sea of ​​insects swarming around it.

After the swarm of poisonous golden silkworm poisonous insects, Lu Cheng used the Golden Branch of Falling Treasures and the Five Elements Sword Technique to kill them from time to time. He watched helplessly as these poisonous insects chewed up the opponent's flying swords and swallowed the opponent's magic weapons alive. With their iron beaks and steel teeth, they devoured everything, just like a swarm of locusts, eating whatever they saw. In the end, not even a trace of Shang Huitong was left.

Although some of the poisonous golden silkworm Gu died, after devouring a Jindan-stage monk with profound magical powers, the swarm of insects will reproduce and grow rapidly in the following period of time. In the end, there will be more fourth-order or even fifth-order silkworm Gu worms, with stronger shells and sharper teeth.

Lu Cheng's path of cultivation is different from that of most cultivators. Relying on his sword skills accumulated in his previous life and the opportunities in this life, he is able to break through disasters whenever he encounters one and stop killing with killing. If an ordinary cultivator encountered as many disasters as he did, he would have died many times over.
