Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 266 The Five Demons and the Avatar
I saw a sword rainbow coming from the west in the sky, it was the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The evil cultivator Kong Yourong who was hiding in the dark could not help but reveal her true form finally and prepared to remove the last obstacle, Taoist Tiexiao.

This person is a demon cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. She was not originally a demon cultivator. Five hundred years ago, she was a lady from a prominent family and had a great aptitude for cultivation. However, she was restricted by the rules of her immortal cultivation family and had to marry into the Fu family and become a Taoist partner.

Her husband Fu Yuanhua was also a very powerful person. After taking over the Fu family, he managed the entire family very well and prosperously. The two of them obtained resources and were both promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm. They were once a famous fairy couple in Jingling County.

However, things happen unexpectedly, and immortality is the combination of all desires in the world, so there are bound to be many conflicts in the world of immortal cultivation.

Kong Yourong's husband, Fu Yuanhua, was seriously injured in a fight with a powerful enemy. Although he killed the enemy, he was bedridden from then on and could no longer control the family. He finally died at the age of over 160.

At this time, Kong Yourong had been in charge of the family power for many years with the help of her husband Fu Yuanhua. She had given birth to seven children for her husband, so Fu Yuanhua was very confident in her. In his opinion, his virtuous wife was a little strong and stubborn, and she would eventually give up power to her son after she got old and lost her edge.

Forty years after Fu Yuanhua's death, the conflicts between Kong Yourong and her five grown-up sons became increasingly difficult to reconcile.

Kong Yourong holds the power of the family and is obsessed with practicing Taoism. She has failed in her attempts to reach the Purple Mansion realm many times and has even begun to encroach on the resources of her five sons.

In addition, her own magical powers had stagnated at a bottleneck for many years, so Kong Yourong began to practice magic in secret, and summoned her five sons back to the family one by one, killing them one by one.

She had been in charge of the family for many years and had a lot of authority. She also quickly opened up the Purple Mansion successfully. It was normal for the five sons of the Fu family to protect their mother, so she successfully covered up the matter.

Once you enter the devil's way, there is no turning back.

Under the influence of Kong Yourong, the cultivators of the Fu and Kong families gradually became more demonic and gradually fell into the devil's way. When someone finally realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to turn things around. If they wanted to defect, they would be quickly killed by their own clansmen.

Kong Yourong acted extremely cautiously. She led the monks of the Fu and Kong families to accumulate wealth through evil magic and practice in secret. Today, more than two hundred years later, she has become a magic monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

When Huang Dao Zhong was in charge of Huanyun Valley, he had vaguely sensed that there might be a demon cultivator with terrifying cultivation lurking within the sect's territory, but he was ultimately unable to trace her.

Kong Yourong was still extremely afraid of Huang Dao Zhong. It was difficult for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to improve their magic power. Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators were in the early and middle stages. Those who could cultivate to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul and advance to the late stage were called great cultivators. Since the Yuanshen ancestors would hardly take action easily, they were the top cultivators in the world.

Huang Daozhong has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the Illusionary Sun Techa inherited from the Illusionary Cloud Valley is also quite famous, so he can be called a master.

But now, Huang Dao Zhong and Liu Hexuan, two veteran Nascent Soul cultivators, have already obeyed the order of Yuanshen Patriarch and left Huanyun Valley.

Kong Yourong has been operating for many years and has confirmed through various channels that the newly promoted Taoist Tiexiao has ascended to fame overnight with the help of the power of the ghost baby. Naturally, Kong Yourong's mind has changed.

“The great catastrophe of heaven and earth has arrived. It would be fine if I could just hide and dodge, build nests and dig holes in the ordinary catastrophes, but this killing catastrophe brought about by the Yuanshen ancestors can either be transformed into life, or be used to retreat in order to advance, or be tempered by thousands of hammers. If I want to make further progress, I must take it, otherwise it will be too late to regret.

Ghost babies have limited uses in Taoism, but they are of infinite use to my magic…"

Therefore, Kong Yourong brought the entire family and first set up a formation in Jingling County, and then used the magic mind-control technique on Yue Zhonghe, causing him to become confused without even realizing it.

Even more, this evil spirit-control technique could be indirectly transmitted to Taoist Tie Xiao through Yue Zhonghe, fanning the flames in his mind and making it difficult for him to have a clear mind.

At the beginning, Lu Cheng was indeed under the influence of the evil spirit technique. He felt a poisonous fire of hatred burning in his brain. He wished he could fly to the west on his sword immediately and kill those evil cultivators.

However, he had been practicing the Seven Saints' Secret Magic for many years, and the little bit of wisdom he had honed over the past hundred years finally allowed him to regain his mind in time. Before flying to Jingling County, his main body and Nascent Soul puppet separated. One continued to fly with the Xuanyin Sword, while the other used the Five Elements Escape Technique to switch from light to dark.

From Kong Yourong's perspective, after Taoist Tiexiao flew to a position only a few dozen miles away from the formation, the sword light suddenly stopped and began to move.

She was so angry that she almost bit her teeth to pieces. It was not difficult to defeat a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, but it was extremely difficult to kill him. It was almost impossible for an ordinary cultivator in the early or middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to kill an opponent of the same realm completely. Although Kong Yourong was confident that she had some powerful methods, she still hoped that the Taoist would enter the formation for safety.

"There really is an ambush!"

Lu Cheng used the Five Elements Great Escape combined with the Tianyi Secret Art to sneak into the scope of Jingling County. He looked around and saw flickering lights in his eyes. He only felt that the light around him was dim, a cold wind blew, and the weather was actually a bit gloomy.

After all, it is impossible for the monks from the Kong and Fu families to kill all the monks in Jingling County.

Some local monks have already begun organizing people for rescue.

Lu Cheng is hidden in it. Even if he is accidentally seen by a demon cultivator who is skilled in detective magic, it can be easily missed. One of the characteristics of the Eight or Nine Caves Zhendao Treasure Pill is that it locks the three treasures inside, without any leakage.

Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, the art of formation is known to be the best way to defeat the strong with the weak, and it is even better than the art of swordsmanship. After all, it is more universal. Any cultivator in charge of a mountain protection formation connected to the earth veins has the opportunity to cause a cultivator who is one major realm higher than him to die on the spot.

Even if it cannot connect to the earth veins, without the support of the earth veins, the formation is like a tree without roots. However, it can still rely on the magic platform as the hub to mobilize a part of the power of the earth veins and add it to the formation. Such a formation is still much more powerful than the magic weapons of the same level. If the opponent does not know how to break it, it will be easy for one to defeat a large number of enemies.

Of course, the art of formation also has its problems. Getting started is much more difficult than refining elixirs, refining equipment, drawing talismans, and practicing swordsmanship. If you don't know how to do it, you just can't do it. Without talent, it will be useless even if you spend a hundred years of hard work. Moreover, you need to arrange it first. From ancient times to the present, countless great formation masters have died outside the formation. The monks have also derived many methods to solve this problem, such as formation diagrams, such as refining the formation into the body, but these can only make up for it, but cannot truly solve it.

"They don't have the time, nor do they dare to connect the earth veins. In other words, are there several platforms between these mountains that serve as hubs?"

The Taoist Tiexiao, who was transformed from the Nascent Soul puppet, was finally approaching the range of the formation little by little, so Kong Yourong suppressed herself and did not take action.

In the large formation, he was confident enough to capture his Nascent Soul alive, and simply killing him would do him no good.

Finally, although there was some hesitation, Taoist Tiexiao finally entered the coverage of the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation.

In an instant, streams of black air emerged out of thin air.

In the sky, on the ground, in all directions, on the left and right, countless ghosts surrounded Taoist Tiexiao like a huge net covering the sky and the sun.

However, almost at the same time, the Xuanyin flying sword that was circling in the air around the "Iron Owl Taoist" laid down layers of sword nets, responding so quickly as if it had been rehearsed many times in advance.

Lu Cheng's Nascent Soul puppet is more of an incarnation than a puppet. The key to fighting for a cultivator who is proficient in puppetry is actually to rely on the art of spiritual consciousness differentiation, to differentiate several spiritual consciousnesses of one's own, and to attach them to the puppet in order to control it freely. Although it is more powerful than ordinary magic weapons, it also consumes more spirit stones. A normal cultivator can only control three magic weapons of the same level at the same time, and a puppet can also be considered a magic weapon.

Only the external incarnation is almost completely separated from the main body, forming an independent clone, with unique spiritual consciousness and magic power. The spiritual consciousness left by Lu Cheng on the Nascent Soul puppet is negligible compared to the total amount of its spiritual consciousness.

But at this moment, the ghost baby spirit in the puppet did not dare to disobey Lu Cheng's orders, because there was a vicious crazy woman below who really wanted to kill him. After a few years of getting along, the ghost baby spirit was very clear about the gap in fighting ability between himself and Lu Cheng, just like the gap between a national Go player and a beginner.

Kong Yourong wanted to end the battle quickly, so she immediately used her own magic weapon: the Five Demons.

Five humanoid skeletons, two feet tall and emaciated, appeared in the demonic energy. They were all tall, with bones as crystal-like as jade, and exuded a hint of coldness.

Thanks to the natural connection between mother and son, as well as the blood and martial arts connections among the five brothers, Kong Yourong's ease and power in controlling the Five Demons far exceeds that of an ordinary sixth-grade mid-level magic weapon.

boom.

The Five Demons collided with the layered sword nets laid down by the Xuanyin Sword. Even though they were prepared and had the support of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Ghost Baby Puppet was still knocked flying into the air.

But he was not seriously injured, and even had enough energy to set up even more sinister sword defenses.

The five elements sword intent, performing the magic with sword.

Before entering the formation, Lu Cheng controlled the ghost baby puppet to move back and forth, left and right, not just to delay time, but also to continuously accumulate sword energy.

Use the Five Elements sword intent to control and influence the vital energy between the surrounding heaven and earth, and amplify the power of your own sword energy.

Under normal circumstances, Kong Yourong should have been able to detect it, but as a Nascent Soul cultivator, her spiritual sense was sharp, and Kong Yourong was hiding in the dark, so she didn't dare to pay too much attention. This resulted in Lu Cheng entering the edge of the formation only after the Five Elements sword energy had accumulated to a certain strength.

Once the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation was deployed, darkness filled the sky and earth within its coverage area, life and death were reversed, and many recently dead human and animal souls appeared, beginning to madly bite and devour the cultivators and mortals below. However, Lu Cheng could not care about these at the moment, and could only send out some poisonous golden silkworm Gu to rescue, while he himself quickly fled to the altar he could see.

The Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation is not a magic formation that is mainly used for attack and killing, but a formation that is used to trap and control people. But no matter what, it is a top-grade formation that gathers the magic power of many Jindan demon cultivators within the formation. If this formation is not broken, Lu Cheng will be restrained together with the ghost baby puppet when he goes up, and the chance of winning against adversity is no more than 20%.

"Hmm? There's another fifth-level puppet? No, it's an incarnation! Do you want to break my Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation first so you can escape with your life? Don't even think about it. All the elite soldiers of the Fu and Kong families are here."

High in the sky, Kong Yourong used the magic thought and spirit technique to shake the mind of "Iron Owl Taoist" while controlling the seals and turning the magic formula, causing the Five Demons to suddenly split apart and transform into forty-nine white bone arrows, almost forming a formation, and attacked the opponent.

The ghost baby puppet was surrounded by black air rising into the sky, and a long banner was faintly rising behind it. At the same time, it controlled the Xuanyin Flying Sword and Shura Saber Qi to the extreme, struggling to resist Kong Yourong's attack.

If the ghost baby is transformed into the Nascent Soul of the cultivator himself, its consciousness and magic power will be weaker than that of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator. However, if it is used to practice various magic techniques, under the condition of compatible nature, the power will not decrease at all. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Xuanyin Flying Sword, and even the cold and yin-attributed Hansha Shura Blade all fall into this category.

At this time, Lu Cheng had already searched and found the location of a platform for the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation among the mountains. When the formation was running at full power, the aura here was bound to surge into the sky, making it difficult to hide from the eyes of the magician.

The altar was set up in a temple in the mountains. There were more than a dozen cultivators in the Purple Mansion and Golden Core realms, who set up a formation within the formation and guarded the place.

Back then, Kong Yourong competed with her son for cultivation resources. After she turned to the path of magic and opened up the Purple Mansion, there was no shortage of cultivation resources for the lower realms. Many cultivators have been trained over the past few hundred years.

However, he dared not display such strength easily, otherwise not only Huanyun Valley and Haoran Academy would wipe out his entire clan, but also the Xuanmo Sect, the giant demon sect in Qi State, would wipe out his entire clan.

The mountain temple was dilapidated and gloomy, and from time to time one could hear the obscure and evil sounds of scriptures being recited.

Lu Cheng's man and sword merged into the invisible flying sword. Although the cultivators of the Fu and Kong families were prepared and even set up formations in advance.

But Lu Cheng's advance was so fast and secretive that it was beyond their expectations.

The man and the sword broke into the formation, and the invisible flying sword crossed the space and directly cut off the body of a magic cultivator present, breaking his body in two. Countless magics practiced for hundreds of years were useless.

"Whoosh!"

It was not until this time that the sound of a sword was heard.

"who!?"

The demon cultivators present retreated in fear and used their own magical weapons, only to find that the Taoist who suddenly rushed in followed his sword like a shadow, mysterious and unpredictable, yet with overwhelming killing power.

This time, it was the first time that the Invisible Sword made a real profit.

The collision between the magic weapons made a sharp whistling sound. Lu Cheng's invisible flying sword intertwined and collided with the magic weapons of other demon cultivators, but the result was often that the flying sword swept past, and then blood gushed out of the demon cultivator's body.

Every time the flying sword was used, Lu Cheng would accurately tear apart the weakest points of the defenses of the Fu and Kong family cultivators present with lightning speed, making it impossible for the opponent's magic weapons to play their due role.

"who are you?"

"stop!"

"Bastard thing..."

"Ping'er, Ping'er!"

The roars and curses of the demon cultivators present came one after another, but in return, the people of Lu Cheng broke their swords in half and suddenly threw punches. In the close combat, the sharpness and ferocity of the Five Directions Five Elements Fist was even more clearly demonstrated.
