Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 25: Killing Taoist soldiers, suppressing fire charms, fighting the Gu King, and warding off evil spirits ()

Many independent cultivators in southern Xinjiang, tempted by the Taoist scriptures, attacked the Chixin Temple from various directions. However, as soon as they landed, they found themselves surrounded by a thick white fog.

Although it was not so severe that the location of the buildings could not be seen clearly, it still made people alert and they couldn't help but slow down their pace.

Li Qing and Zou Hu were kept by the evil Taoist Zuo Yin Fu because of Zou Shepo. These two people also had some magical powers, so Zuo Yin Fu did not think of them as a burden.

"Don't be afraid. This is a Taoist illusion formation. A Taoist illusion formation at a low level won't cause any direct damage. If your mind is clear, you can break the formation."

However, although the logic was clear, after walking for a while, Zuo Yinfu, Li Qing and Zou Hu found that they were still far away from the nearest building.

This is impossible; the entire Chixin Temple is not that vast.

"Master Zuo, what should we do?"

Being in a dangerous and unfamiliar environment, Li Qing couldn't help but ask Zuo Yin Fu anxiously.

The old Taoist in blue robe stroked his beard with his hand and then looked at the ground beneath his feet.

At the same time, inside the main hall of Chixin Temple, a young Taoist priest with ordinary appearance lit seven copper lamps one by one, and sat cross-legged between the lamps with a compass in his hand.

Although he was a little nervous, Chen Qingfeng was not worried about his own safety. Since he had decided to stay and help Fellow Daoist Lu, on the one hand, it was to repay the large amount of Taoist resources that Fellow Daoist Lu had given him: the two of them had shared the accumulation of the four families of Li, Tu, Zou, and You over the past hundred years; on the other hand, it was also a sign of confidence in the current situation and his own Taoist cultivation.

"But why hasn't Qingyun come back yet? I don't know if it was right or wrong for me to send her away. Could something have happened on the way?"

Although he was worried, Chen Qingfeng quickly calmed down and looked at the compass in his hand again. On the magic compass in his hand, red and green dots of light were flashing. At the same time, this magic weapon was also connected to the magic energy of the entire Yi Mu Xuan Guang Formation.

A cultivator who is proficient in this formation can use it as the hub to double the power of the formation.

"As long as we hold out until Brother Lu returns, this battle will be decided."

At the same time, Lu Cheng, who had already blessed himself with the invisibility talisman, the black gold armor talisman, and the small seal script clear wind talisman, had adjusted his mind and magic power, ready to attack.

However, his target was not the monks from Southern Xinjiang who had invaded the Taoist temple, but Zou Shepo, Ruan Cai, and the armored girl who were the only ones left outside the Chixin Temple as the group of evil spirits attacked the temple.

"When facing soldiers who turned beans into soldiers, all you need to do is kill the Taoist who cast the spell and the spell will be broken. The same goes for these Gu soldiers. You've exposed yourself."

Reaching out and pushing aside the branches that were used to hide his figure, Lu Cheng appeared outside the Chixin Temple, beside Zou Shepo, Ruan Cai, and the armored girl.

The method of Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals is between Taoist magic and divine magic. It is used to protect Taoist temples and once it is activated, there is no need to continue to control it.

Of course, Lu Cheng's Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals Technique is actually the product of a series of coincidences. It is impossible for a normal Qi training cultivator to cultivate such power in his lifetime.

It is not easy to find a good official who has great merits and is loved by the people.

Boom!

As the Thunder Hammer and the Dianmu Cone struck each other, a blue-white lightning flashed down from the air with a bang.

At the same time, Lu Cheng activated the Red Sun Hand Pivot Blazing Fire Talisman in his hand, summoning a crimson high-temperature fireball that continued to expand and crashed into the Gu Master Ruan Cai.

Thunder and fire killed both of them, and the young Taoist priest with a red sword drawn followed closely behind.

Crackling.

The blue-white lightning made a slight explosion sound as it passed through a void close to Ruan Cai.

Finally, it hit a dark golden light that suddenly appeared. Although the golden light was vibrated, the blue and white lightning dissipated first. The full-strength attack of the second-grade top-grade magic weapon was blocked.

"There are extremely tiny poisonous insects around him. What is that spell? The Golden Light Curse! A defensive spell cast with a talisman."

Although the systems they practice are different, the regular Taoist talismans can be used by monks from the Buddhist, Demonic, and other sects, as long as they have enough magic power, which naturally includes Gu Masters.

Ruan Chai is a talented Gu Master in Southern Xinjiang. Others have to devote all their heart and soul and be cautious if they want to raise a Gu worm well, but Ruan Chai can raise many Gu worms and make contracts with them.

All the magic power accumulated by those poisonous insect elves over many years of practice was shared by him. Although it was impure, cold and evil, Ruan Cai's magic power was not weak.

At this moment, he sneered at the young Taoist who was rushing towards him with a sword, without any panic in his expression.

His eyes looked towards Lu Cheng, and gradually his pupils expanded and turned completely black.

"Young man, Southern Xinjiang has its own laws and rules. Because of your recklessness and disrespect, you will stay here forever until your body and soul are eaten by insects!"

The armored girl standing next to Ruan Cai also had her pupils turn pure black as the Gu Master cast the spell, and dark blue blood vessels appeared under her fair skin.

"die!"

The magic power stimulated the sword, and Lu Cheng locked his eyes on Ruan Cai and slashed out a bright sword light.

The sword light slashed into the red fireball, and under the vibration of the flying sword, the two merged into a roaring fire dragon, slashing towards the Gu Master Ruan Cai.

The purpose of this sword is, on the one hand, to burn the tiny poisonous insects that the opponent has placed around his body with the sword fire, and on the other hand, to conceal the sword light with the firelight, making it easier to stab from the most unlikely angle and kill the opponent.

but.

"Chong"

The armored girl held a giant machete in one arm and slashed the red pine flying sword in the fire dragon with incredible precision.

The sword intent took shape, like cutting into a poisonous pool of chaos.

The originally calm and pretty girl seemed to be in great pain at this moment. She looked at Lu Cheng with great hatred. Then she took the knife in both hands to break the fire dragon and rushed towards Lu Cheng.

The blade's light was sharp and violent, and the evil power contained within it was also extremely fierce.

On the big knife in her hand, there are carvings of four animals: an elephant, a tiger, a python and a crocodile. There is a faint spiritual light, which drives away the spirits of the animals.

The moment she exerted her strength, Lu Cheng seemed to see a transparent giant elephant appear behind her, roaring angrily and charging towards him.

At the same time, Zou Shepo, who was standing on the other side of Gu Master Ruan Cai, was also not idle. After the battle of Shilipo, in order to appease the Black Centipede King who she met unexpectedly, most of the Gu in her body had been fed to the other party. However, this did not mean that Zou Shepo had no other magic after practicing for a lifetime.

As her magic power worked, a blood-red murderous light flashed in Zou Shepo's eyes. The beautiful woman who originally still had charm began to shrivele rapidly. Her whole face became triangular and long, with scales appearing. She stretched out her skinny palms, and the nails of her ten fingers unexpectedly stretched out and turned into a hideous black color, like ten daggers, and deadly venom seemed to flow on them.

When Lu Cheng was flying his sword and fighting the armored girl head-on, she suddenly rushed to the side, opened her mouth and spewed out a large amount of purple poisonous mist in the direction of Lu Cheng's retreat.

However, Zou Shepo was extremely cautious. Although she responded from the side, she did not get close. She just had several poison needles between her fingers.

The armored girl's swordsmanship was incredibly powerful. Lu Cheng leaped up and reached out to catch his own Chisong flying sword that was cut off.

A cultivator in the Qi training stage has not yet condensed his spiritual consciousness, and he can only control the sword by wrapping the flying sword with his own magic power. If the sword is blown too far out of control, it will be impossible to bring it back.

As soon as he landed, the armored girl rushed over with a sword in hand.

A phantom of a crocodile appeared in the void behind her, looking like a crocodile cutting its tail.

After the crocodile bites the prey, it shakes its whole body, uses its front claws, mouth and teeth, and rolls over. The prey's body is torn into pieces.

Faced with such a sharp and ferocious knife force, Lu Cheng could only retreat quickly, but if he retreated any further, he would be hit by the purple poisonous mist spewed out by Zou Shepo.

boom.

The big knife slashed the ground, creating a deep pit.

The armored girl wielded the knife with both hands, and the knife's momentum changed again, and an image of a giant tiger pouncing on its prey appeared behind her.

Not only was she blessed by the magic sword in her hand, the swordsmanship she displayed was also extremely sharp and fierce, only attacking and not defending.

Roar.

The giant tiger phantom, with ferocious sword power and enormous strength, pounced on Lu Cheng.

It seemed that there was no way to dodge this knife.

Facing this knife, the young Taoist priest under the phantom of the giant tiger pounced on him but he breathed a sigh of relief.

His entire body's aura was in harmony with the aura of the sword in his hand. At that moment, it was unclear whether it was the man who was driving the sword light, or the sword light that was carrying the man.

With a swish, the armored girl, Zou Shepo and Ruan Cai saw that the young Taoist priest was integrated with the scarlet sword light, and was running through the grass like a scarlet poisonous snake.

He dodged and turned several times, avoiding the sword force of the armored girl with an almost unbelievable agility.

Lu Cheng with a sword in hand is not the same fighting force as Lu Cheng who controls the sword light. The reason why he likes to remotely control the sword light is that close combat is much more dangerous than long-range sword attack. Life and death are often decided in an instant. Once a move is made, there is no room for turning back.

Lu Cheng doesn't like close combat swordsmanship, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it.

In the Martian era, before the emergence of "Jiutian", the most popular virtual online game on the market was "Jin Gu Huang Da Jiang Hu".

There is a set of sword skills in it, called "Bixie Sword Skills". After Lu Cheng obtained this sword skill, he used it to roam the world with its swiftness and strangeness.

At that time, Lu Cheng was still a student. It was with the help of this set of 72 Sword Techniques to Exorcise Evils that he discovered his talent in swordsmanship and made his first fortune in the game. He dated a campus beauty in college and lived happily with this girlfriend in the game.

Both of them are beautiful girl accounts. They wander around and flirt with each other in the game all day long, making countless single dogs roar in anger, but in the end they can't beat them.

In "Jin Gu Huang Da Jiang Hu", it is called "Jade-faced Lily Rakshasa Sword".

Unfortunately, later on, because the girl kept looking at Lu Cheng's face, which was even more beautiful than hers, in the game, her lesbian nature was really activated. She secretly spent Lu Cheng's money to chase beautiful women, and the three of them were happily together for a long time.

Off topic.

In the era of virtual online games, sword techniques are modified using the most advanced intelligent computers to calculate every aspect such as stabbing angles, body position, lethality, speed, change, etc.

After joining the game, we also need to collect actual combat effects in the game, including data on hundreds of thousands of player fights that occur every day, and then update and correct them every once in a while.

Therefore, although there is no need to castrate oneself, Lu Cheng's close combat swordsmanship is extremely fast, fierce, mysterious and brutal.

At this moment, with a sword in hand, the sharpness emanating from Lu Cheng's body made the armored girl who was holding a giant machete and was completely controlled by the witchcraft subconsciously take a defensive stance.

The shadow of a gigantic python appeared, coiling like a snake and overlapping with the armored girl.

At this time, Zou Shepo secretly shot out several hidden poison needles, which were cut off by Lu Cheng's sword without even turning his head.

The Gu Master Ruan Cai pinched the amber necklace around his neck. The one he pinched contained a spider. The next moment, the shadow of a grey spider appeared around him. Ruan Cai was about to control the beast soul to attack Lu Cheng.

Boom.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning fell from the air.

The ferocious blue-white lightning directly shattered the beast souls around Ruan Cai, and even the remaining golden light spell defense on his body was shattered.

Ruan Cai then remembered and looked at the two magical weapons floating in the air: Thunder Hammer and Dianmu Cone.

Most of the killing power of ordinary cultivators comes from the manifestation of magic weapons, but the oppressive feeling that Lu Cheng holding the sword alone gives them is so great that people often ignore the pair of astonishingly powerful thunder magic weapons in the air.

"careful!"

Hearing Zou Shepo's exclamation of warning beside him, Ruan Cai instinctively input his magic power to activate a golden talisman, but almost at the same time.

The red sword light of the young Taoist priest had already passed by Ruan Cai's neck.

Blood gushed out, Ruan Cai's right palm was thrown into the air, and a deep wound appeared on his neck. If it weren't for the spreading power of the golden talisman, this sword would have cut off his head.

"When?"

As Ruan Cai retreated, he looked in horror at Lu Cheng, who was less than twenty steps away from him at some point.

This person's body movements were strange, and the sword light was strange, all of which blocked people's vision and attention. Even Lu Cheng's attention was on the armored girl the moment before, and the next moment, when Ruan Cai showed a flaw, he had already flown his sword to kill her, showing his terrifying ability to control the battlefield.

At this moment, he was just a hair's breadth away from killing Ruan Cai. The sword flew back into his hand, and Lu Cheng continued to fight back against the armored girl without any reluctance.

Pointing east and hitting west, suddenly moving forward and backward, the attack changes without leaving a trace like an antelope hanging its horns.

He also successfully seized the flaw revealed by the armored girl in her eagerness to save her master. The Akamatsu sword in his hand was sometimes held in his hand, sometimes flying in the air, sometimes using the Taoist sword-wielding technique, and sometimes using the martial arts sword technique.

Taoist sword-wielding technique, the sword light itself has enormous power. When man and sword are combined, the sword light wraps around Lu Cheng's body and suddenly becomes several times faster.

The martial arts sword technique of letting go, the sword light changes like a fish, taking advantage of the situation and penetrating every hole.

Zou Shepo made several secret plots from the side, but found that her attacks could not reach or break through the body movement and sword light that seemed to be one with her.

In addition, Ruan Cai had one of his hands cut off, and seemed to have lost the ability to cast witchcraft again. Zou Shepo's eyes turned, and the skinny and terrifying woman retreated into the mountains and forests around Chixin Temple.

If Ruan Cai can win, then he will hide and look for an opportunity to attack him. If Lu Cheng is stronger, he will immediately flee far away and wait for the Gu King to make a move.

There is no method of flying a sword in the Exorcism Sword Technique, but now that he has it, Lu Cheng will not reject this ability. What's more, in the Nine Heavens, the experience of using the Exorcism Sword Technique has long been integrated into the close combat swordsmanship.

I saw the red sword light, sometimes flying back and hanging beside Lu Cheng, sometimes flying out to slash, sometimes Lu Cheng and the sword combined to find a gap to penetrate, and sometimes used to avoid the opponent's attack, with ever-changing changes.

The mystery cannot restrain the fierceness, but the mystery of Lu Cheng's sword skills can completely restrain the fierceness of the armored girl's sword skills.

When the attack speed of both sides accumulated to a certain upper limit, in the eyes of the armored girl, Lu Cheng's sword-wielding figure seemed to turn into seven in an instant, and then the seven figures merged into one, and suddenly slashed out a sword light with the gathered sword power.

puff.

The scarlet sword light chopped off the armored girl's head.

But there was no pain on the girl's face, only relief, and black liquid flowed from the corners of her eyes, like tears of blood.

call.

A large number of black and gray poisonous insects poured out from the broken neck of the girl.

A Gu Master and the Gu worms he raises are often inseparable, regardless of life and death, because the Gu Master's own magical powers are provided by the Gu worms.

However, Ruan Cai used strange methods. He fused the poisonous insect he raised with the girl. In this way, he not only had an extra guard who could never resist him, but Ruan Cai also had powerful magic power at any time.

However, Lu Cheng, who constantly slashed at the empty heart of the armored girl through his sword intent, had already guessed all of this.

Therefore, a light golden folding fan just happened to float in the air and was gently waved down, and large patches of scarlet fire burned all the black and gray poisonous insects.

"You evil creature, I will imprison your soul and burn it in the divine fire for ten thousand years!" Lu Cheng sheathed his sword, turned his head to the side, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.

In the battle just now, relying on the power of sword, the young Taoist priest continuously invaded the empty heart of the armored girl.

Therefore, he was able to sense and witness how Ruan Cai cultivated this "living" magical weapon that combined man and Gu.

Nguyen Chai led his tribe in a night attack and massacred another tribe in the mountains.

Then they would select several pregnant women with excellent qualifications and place them in the Wan Gu Pool, leaving them to be bitten by thousands of poisonous creatures to cultivate resentment in the pregnant women's hearts until they suffer a mental breakdown and their spiritual intelligence is destroyed.

Then, using the corpse oil evil curse as a guide, feed the fetus with thousands of poisons and poisons, so that the essence of the poisons will eventually be concentrated in the fetus, and with the help of the fusion effect of the innate qi, the baby's innate qi will be compatible with the poisonous insects, and the two will not repel each other. The baby born in this way is born with the combination of human and poison as a natural poison magic weapon.

Ruan Chai has retained the placenta of the armored girl's mother. As long as the girl develops a little self-intelligence, he will activate the painful memories of her mother that have been implanted in her body. After this happens twice or three times, the girl no longer has any self-awareness except for carrying out the tasks assigned by Ruan Chai.

The Qi of the poisonous insects and their masters are connected. Most of the poisonous insects were burned to death, and the masters would definitely not feel good either. When Lu Cheng burned the poisonous insects that emerged from the girl's body, Ruan Cai screamed miserably and fell to the ground. Red blood flowed out of all his orifices, and his magic power was completely wasted.

However, upon hearing Lu Cheng's words at this moment, Ruan Cai, who knew he was doomed, sneered:
"You only think that my Gu technique is cruel, but does your Taoist corpse refining technique seem righteous and benevolent? I have been fighting with Li Jiuyou for half a lifetime, and I have never seen his methods of refining corpses. Apart from other things, using the wax corpse technique to sacrifice to ancestors is something that only you Tang people can do. Although our Nanjiang Gu technique is also cruel, I have never used it on people of my own tribe, so it is not a matter of course to use it on people of the enemy tribe!"

“…I have learned a lesson.”

The next moment, Lu Cheng summoned thunder to break the protective talisman of Ruan Cai, who had lost all his magic power and was only left with one breath. Then he knocked him unconscious and pressed a soul-calming talisman on his forehead, preparing to find an opportunity to use his soul to refine a powerful magical weapon in the future.

It was not natural to cast a spell on a member of a hostile tribe. Lu Cheng also thought so.

At this moment, the ground shook slightly. The young Taoist turned around and saw the main hall of his Chixin Temple collapse.

And among them there was a huge centipede, roaring towards the sky.

With the destruction of the main hall of the Chixin Temple and the shredding of the statue of the God Chixin by the Black Centipede King, most of the heavenly soldiers and generals, who had originally had the upper hand, disappeared in an instant.

It was because the root of this magic was the faith and willpower accumulated over the years in Chixin Temple, and Lu Cheng's magic was just a guide to use the force. That was why he could still maintain almost full magic power when he cast beans to summon heavenly soldiers.

Now that the temple was destroyed, the 441 bronze-armored heavenly soldiers suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving only two gold-armored generals and 47 silver-armored heavenly soldiers, but their bodies also became illusory.

"Brother Chen!"

Lu Cheng didn't care about the destruction of the temple and the statue. As long as the believers and their faith were still there, he could rebuild a bigger and better temple and statue in the future.

But Lu Cheng remembered that it was Chen Qingfeng who was guarding the core of the formation in the main hall of the temple. If Chen Qingfeng died in the battle, how would he face the returning Chen Qingyun and Uncle Fan!
