Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 23: The Gathering of Evil Spirits (Please collect and recommend)

A huge fire broke out in Shiyuan County, burning down houses. It was the Li family, the largest family in the area. The fire was set by the Li family themselves:

Since our Li family cannot possess it, you lowly people are even less worthy of it. Burn it clean with fire, and no one can get it.

On the distant hillside, Li Qing and Zou Hu were followed by some members of the Li family.

Watching the mansion where he grew up being engulfed in flames, Li Qing's eyes were filled with deep hatred.

Both she and Zou Hu were injured, having been beaten by Taoist Chen who suddenly appeared two days ago.

The Taoist priest seemed to be indifferent, but he was unexpectedly ruthless when he started to fight.

"Why, the Tu, Zou, and You families all refuse to burn it?"

Seeing that there were no fires in the other three directions of the county like here, Li Qing asked his senior brother Zou Hu beside him.

"They were reluctant to part with it, saying that the Gu God Cult would not ignore the matter. They also wanted to take it back later, so how could they bear to burn it?"

After all, Lu Cheng is not a god, he can't create supplies out of thin air.

Now the stability of the entire Shiyuan County is based on the supplies accumulated by the four families of Li, Tu, Zou, and You over the years. If they are lost, it will be difficult for Lucheng to stabilize the situation and quickly integrate people's hearts.

It is inevitable that everyone will have to go through a period of hard times, and people's hearts will naturally be unstable.

Therefore, Li Qing's approach could be regarded as a plan to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron. Unfortunately, the other three families had their own calculations and felt that there was still room for maneuver. They were unwilling to use such a vicious plan that would kill 10,000 enemies but injure 8,000 of their own. Moreover, if they were caught, they would be beaten to death on the spot.

"What an idiot! As long as we drive away that evil spirit, everything here will belong to us. Can't we take back our lost property?"

Li Qing was so angry that his teeth were itching, and his originally beautiful face was filled with a ferocious look.

But at this time, Li Qing noticed that Zou Hu's eyes were looking behind her, so she turned around.

I saw a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a black cloak standing in the shadows, and on the tree trunk behind her, crouching a black centipede of astonishingly huge size.

"Master!"

Li Qing is a direct descendant of the Li family. She takes Zou Shepo as her master. As the leader of both families, she is highly valued by Li Jiuyou, and Zou Shepo is also very good to her.

Now he was in great trouble and was terrified and helpless when he suddenly saw his master. Li Qing ran over and knelt down in front of Zou Shepo.

"Master, you are finally back. Those idiots said that you and your great grandfather were killed by the evil Taoist priest of the Red Heart Temple. I knew that was not true..."

"That Tang Daoist official is really powerful. In the battle of Shilipu that day, your great grandfather, ten Daoist friends and I, except for me, all died under his sword. Xuanmen swordsmanship is really terrifying!"

Zou Shepo sighed softly, and there seemed to be fear still in her eyes.

"..." Li Qing. "But Qing'er, don't worry. The Black Centipede King is here. With the help of the Gu King, it will be easy to avenge your great grandfather and the Li family."

At this time, Zou Shepo was like a young girl in love, leaning affectionately on the shell of the huge black centipede behind her.

She really likes it.

After years of blood sacrifices, this Gu King has steadily advanced to the demonic realm of the third-order monster. The foundation-building realm is a huge threshold for the left-handed cultivators, and more than 90% of the left-handed cultivators cannot pass it.

If he could control this Gu King, then even if Li Jiuyou were resurrected, he would not be his opponent.

"King of Gu!" Li Qing looked up with some fear at the big monster in front of him with a restrained aura.

"Is this the Gu King? No wonder it's so huge."

"Haha, now that we have the Gu King's help, let's see how rampant that evil Taoist can still be!"

Among all the people present, only Li Qing and Zou Hu, a pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters, could not laugh. This was because both of them practiced Gu magic, and they knew clearly that Gu were essentially insects - they had no emotions, and except for the legendary founder, no one could control them without paying a price.

"Qing'er, you also know the appetite of the Gu King. Plus, the sacrifice has been interrupted, so we can only sacrifice your people." Zou Shepo said calmly.

Then the huge black centipede behind her began to swim rapidly, and the screams of the Li family disciples before their death were soon heard in the mountains and forests.

Li Qing and Zou Hu were covered in cold sweat and didn't dare to move. Fortunately, the black centipede king didn't eat them in the end. It was not known whether it was because it was full or Zou Snake Lady had a certain influence on it, which prevented it from attacking her disciples.

"In addition to the Black Centipede King, I have also invited some fellow members of the nearby Gu God Cult. They will be here in a few days. Then we will attack the mountain together. With the help of the Black Centipede King, that Taoist Lu will definitely die." Zou Snake Woman said hatefully with a cold look in her eyes.

A few days ago, the twelve fellow Taoists were not enough, so twenty or thirty came, and with the Black Centipede King as the reinforcement, a young cultivator in the Qi training stage, even if he was from a famous school, Zou Shepo could not think of any reason why he could not survive.

At the same time, on the other side, inside the Chixin Temple, as the day and night passed, he devoted himself to practicing.

Lu Cheng's severely depleted mental and magical power gradually recovered to 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​could be gradually recovered in the next two days.

“My sword moves now seem to have the effect of crushing the enemy’s courage. This should be the sword intent forming momentum recorded in the scriptures in the Sutra Cave. I didn’t expect that I could actually cultivate it now. However, it should be the blessing of the Red Heart Contemplation that greatly improved my spiritual awareness. Otherwise, if the foundation is not enough, no matter how much I practice, I will not be able to cultivate the sword intent forming momentum.”

"Also, in the battle at Shilipo five days ago, the high-speed operation of Jian Yuan Lu's mana could also greatly increase the power of the sword light. So, can I make the mana flow not so straight and use a double or multiple spiral structure to increase the length of the mana flow impact and thus enhance the power of the attack? However, this may put a great burden on the meridians in the body."

Inside the room, a young Taoist in white cloth robe was sitting on a cushion, finishing his Qi training and thinking about the problems he was facing in his cultivation.

The battle of Shilipo was a great benefit to Lu Cheng. Unfortunately, he did not have any rest time in the next few days to digest what he had gained. Otherwise, Lu Cheng would have been able to take his swordsmanship to a higher level in a short period of time.

There are also the five Qiankun bags obtained from the sword fight. Although the defensive restrictions on them are very simple, there is no time to open them now. Apart from the soul-collecting bag taken from the ghost cultivator You Pozi, there is no time to consume the huge gains from the battle of Shili Slope and convert them into cultivation and combat power.
