Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 268: Freedom and the Way in the Heart

"boom……"

Three rainbows of light entangled and collided with each other, flashing and exploding continuously between heaven and earth. Countless energies flowed and entangled between heaven and earth. After the huge amount of magic power burst out, it stirred up the clouds in the sky, forming a huge rotating vortex.

This is the power of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. They can move mountains and fill the sea, and the sky can collapse for hundreds of miles. The destruction caused in a very short period of time can be compared to a terrible natural disaster.

The old devil Kong Yourong is deep-minded and good at hiding. She has indeed accumulated a lot of resources over the years. She hides in the deepest darkness, using the power of the Fu and Kong families as tentacles to develop her business and expand in all directions. Once she encounters an opponent that is difficult to deal with by normal business means, she will use magic to secretly control or even kill the opponent. Because she is quite restrained, she has never been noticed for so many years.

Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence.

After years of development, the Fu and Kong families also have industries overseas. They regularly send high-level magic cultivators overseas and return them after they have passed the Jindan catastrophe. The higher the cultivator's realm of cultivation, the longer the time of seclusion, and disappearing for more than ten years will not arouse suspicion.

With the support of the Fu and Kong families, Kong Yourong's Five Demons were refined into a sixth-grade mid-level magic weapon, the Phantom Demon Ribbon was a sixth-grade mid-level magic weapon, and the Nether Bone Sword was a sixth-grade low-level magic weapon. Compared with her magical power, they were already excellent magic weapons.

Therefore, even though the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation was unexpectedly broken quickly, she was alone facing Lu Cheng and the Ghost Infant Puppet, two early Nascent Soul stage fighters, but she still had the upper hand. She chased the two men and made them wander in the air, and the situation was tense.

Until now, she still wants to kidnap the ghost baby so that she can practice the secret magic arts and dominate the world.

However, that handsome Taoist seemed to never make mistakes. The fierceness and ruthlessness of his attacks, the accuracy of his grasp of opportunities, and the magical powers of his methods were far beyond Kong Yourong's imagination. If her own magical powers were not far superior to his, facing such a person, Kong Yourong would never think of making an enemy of him. She would just stay as far away from him as possible. After all, this world is so big that there is always a place for her to stay.

Rumble, rumble.

The Magic Silk continued to expand and flew, hitting the handsome Taoist priest, sending him crashing into the deep mountains, smashing the entire mountain in half. But after a moment, the Taoist priest flew back in a blaze of fire, and his broken bones and tendons quickly recovered under the licking of the fire.

Looking at the flame, Kong Yourong felt inexplicably nervous, so she subconsciously paid more attention to this Taoist.

Even in terms of magic power and offensive force, the Taoist priest with black energy rising from his body was more fierce and ferocious.

This was because the quality of the Samadhi True Fire was too high. Although Lu Cheng did not use it as a killing method, he just used it to constantly temper himself and regenerate his vitality, but it still made Kong Yourong feel instinctively threatened.

The ghost baby puppet never rebelled, even if it had the opportunity to rebel at this time, it had no choice, because it vaguely knew that the other party's target was towards itself, and at this moment it could be said that it was taking shelter under the Taoist priest.

Moreover, after living together for many years, the ghost baby puppet discovered that its ability to fight on the spot and to fight for the last mile was far inferior to that of the Taoist priest. So it began to consciously learn the Taoist priest's sword techniques.

The world outside is extremely terrifying. If you don’t learn some powerful skills and just blindly run away from that Taoist priest, you will probably not end up well.

Lu Cheng planted a little spiritual consciousness, mobilized the ghost baby's magic power to drive the sword light, just like teaching hand in hand, the ghost baby's eyes flickered with spiritual light, firmly memorized everything. It is difficult to comprehend the magic, but memorizing it by rote is also beneficial.

At this moment, six Jindan cultivators from Huanyun Valley flew over in a formation. There were men and women, young and old. Some were well-dressed and full of nobility, but some just looked like disabled beggars. Kong Yourong's mind was as fast as lightning and even better than that of a Jindan Zhenren. Naturally, she was able to seize the initiative and prevent these six people from joining Lu Cheng and the ghost baby puppet.

In the void, she was wearing a black Taoist robe, which made her white jade skin and beautiful face more vivid.

At this moment, he waved the Phantom Magic Silk and swept it out, and the vitality of heaven and earth accumulated layer by layer like waves. This magic treasure had both real and virtual features, and was best at using the strong to attack the weak and to overwhelm others with force. When the magic power was higher than that of the opponent, there was almost no weakness or flaw.

But the six people quickly formed a formation, and then Lin Qinghan, who was in the middle of it, threw a magic flower basket in his hand, and countless colorful petals fell immediately, like flowers scattered by a fairy, and then grew and spread rapidly in the air, forming a huge protective formation formed by lush branches and leaves.

However, the flowers and leaves in this protective formation were cleanly cut off and shattered as soon as they encountered the sharp edge of the Phantom Demon Silk. However, their growth was incredibly fast and continuous, which greatly slowed down Kong Yourong's fierce attack, which was almost difficult for the Jindan cultivator to capture with her spiritual sense.

The Huanyun Valley has a thousand ingenious secret formations, with a hundred illusions and changes of reality and illusion. Unfortunately, this one was formed temporarily, as the real elite cultivators of the Huanyun Valley have been transferred away by the two True Lords, Huang Dao Zhong and Liu Hexuan.

Otherwise, the power of this formation could be increased by four times, and it would be difficult for cultivators at Lin Qinghan's level to join in.

The cultivators from Huanyun Valley who formed the Hundred Illusions and Thousands of Skills Secret Array at this time were a veritable combination of old, weak, sick and disabled. Huanyun Valley could still quickly gather six Jindan Zhenren at this time, so there was nothing to choose from.

Just when Kong Yourong's Phantom Demon Silk's attack was slightly blocked, one of the six people, who was dressed in Confucian scholar's clothes and holding an iron ruler in both hands, looked like an old man who was a village teacher. He took out his iron ruler and hit the Phantom Demon Silk hard. The Phantom Demon Silk was originally best at transforming yin and soft power, but the iron ruler was filled with a straight and pure yang energy, which concentrated a huge force at one point. The huge recoil immediately shook Kong Yourong's Phantom Demon Silk away.

"Pretty powerful!" Kong Yourong giggled, but she was alert in her heart, because at the same time, a middle-aged man with a clear face dressed as a Taoist among the six people put his two fingers together, pointed, and the long sword on his back immediately flew out, turning into a sword light that was as fast as lightning in the sky, and came towards her to kill, forcing her to protect her body with the Five Demon Ball Dance.

Lu Cheng and the ghost baby puppet also got a chance to catch their breath.

"Breathe, breathe."

Lu Cheng formed seals with his hands, combining the heart seal, inner seal and hand seal into one. The blood and magic power in his body surged and gradually became smoother. There were faint changes of five colors on his face, and with every change, his own magic power increased and condensed.

Essence is the blood god.

Qi represents the meaning of the five elements.

If there are no flaws in refining the spirit, the three elements will become one and one's own foundation of Taoism will be further enhanced.

"Drink!"

The ghost baby puppet holds the Xuanyin sword diagonally in front of its body. Its sinister and mysterious sword energy interacts with the Xuanyin flying sword. The sword energy runs in parallel, straightening out the meridians and combing the five internal organs.

Although the ghost baby is small, it has all the internal organs. The Destruction Puppet does not have internal organs, but it does. It's just because of its own physique that the ghost baby cannot practice Lu Cheng's Five Elements Magic and can only practice Yin sword energy and reverse enlightenment.

"Buzz..."

The Xuanyin Flying Sword continued to vibrate and hum as the ghost baby breathed in and out, as if it had a spiritual being that was conversing with it!
But at this moment, the female cultivator in the black Taoist robe threw a bead using the Magic Phantom Silk as a cover.

At the same time, they used their own life-saving magic weapon, the Five Demons, to transform themselves into five giant skulls, and the six Jindan monks in Huanyun Valley spewed out magic fire.

The Hundred Illusions and Thousands of Skills Secret Array was already unable to hold out under this kind of pure magic power suppression. If it was hit by another Yin Thunder Seed, six corpses would be killed in an instant.

However, compared to the six Jindan monks from Huanyun Valley, the target of this female devil is still the ghost baby puppet.

boom.

A huge explosion erupted beside the ghost baby puppet. This kind of Yin Thunder Seed was made from the golden elixir of a Jindan cultivator. It was a magic thunder that was difficult to refine but was incredibly powerful. The corrosive energy eroded the meridians.

If Kong Yourong didn't want to blow up the ghost baby, this blow would have taken her life.

Under Lu Cheng's control, the ghost baby puppet immediately became one with the sword and escaped, but was still blown out of the state of unity between man and sword by the Yin thunder at this moment, and the spirituality of the Xuanyin Flying Sword was also greatly damaged.

Kong Yourong was wrapped by the sword light of the Nether Bone Sword and fled towards the Ghost Infant Puppet. At this time, the six Jindan monks of Huanyun Valley saw that the situation was critical and did not dare to resist the magic fire anymore, so they fell down. Moreover, each of them had internal injuries and did not have the courage to form a formation in a short time.

This time, they have given an explanation to both the sect and themselves. Even if Elder Tiexiao really meets with misfortune in the end, it cannot be blamed on them.

"Do you really think you are the only one with a backup plan? Tree demon, show up!"

In the Jiuli Ding of Lucheng, apart from the unfathomable golden spirit, the power of the ghost baby/white-clothed tree demon is the most profound.

Although there is a certain degree of danger in summoning it, it is appropriate at this time.

Rumble, rumble...

Below where Kong Yourong was flying, the ground was shaking and mud and rocks were rolling, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and finally a large forest suddenly broke out of the ground.

It seemed that endless vine roots were rushing towards Kong Yourong like a tide, but at the same time, Lu Cheng also felt that his own spiritual consciousness was greatly damaged.

The principles of using Jiuli Ding to control monsters are:

The closer the two parties are, the higher the favorability, and the less spiritual power and mana they consume.

The greater the gap between the two realms, the greater the change in the spiritual consciousness and mana of the cultivators. If Lu Cheng summoned a Qi training realm monster now, it would be no problem to raise it as a dog at home, but he summoned a Yuanying realm monster that was one realm higher than his own. The moment the white-clothed tree demon appeared, Lu Cheng felt a dull pain in his brow.

Moreover, after the white-clothed tree demon's evil spirit was taken away by Lu Cheng, although his magical power remained, his murderous power and ferocity were greatly reduced.

If the old woman in white had not seen the ghost baby puppet behind her, Lu Cheng would not have been sure whether she had even a third of the fighting spirit she had before.

But finally, thanks to the ghost baby puppet, the white-clothed tree demon tried its best. Within the tree mountain, the branches and vines rolled and danced, firmly blocking Kong Yourong. Even the Five Demons were temporarily blocked by those vines after defeating the Six True Men of Huanyun Valley, and it was difficult for them to fly back into Kong Yourong's hands.

The ghost baby puppet, the Nascent Soul within the Destroying Heavenly Lord, stared blankly at the giant tree blocking its way, fighting with all its might.

"Chance!"

Five Elements Escape Technique, Fire Escape!

In the midst of the blazing flames, Lu Cheng's figure instantly transformed into an ancient fire dragon, flying and changing, and in an instant he traveled a hundred miles and arrived relatively close to the tree world.

Lu Cheng's right hand formed a sword technique first at his own Dantian, and then traced back from Dantian to the chest, and then to the throat. Then the Taoist raised his head, straightened his chest, and pointed to the position of Kong Yourong's life magic weapon, the Five Sons Demon, and opened his mouth: Boom, Samadhi True Fire!
A stream of golden-red flames, like a volcanic eruption, swept over, and like a winding flaming dragon, crashed into the five skulls.

Samadhi Fire, a sixth-level killing method. Even if Lu Cheng did not spray out all the Samadhi Fire in his body, its power would decrease, but it would still burn his soul, body, and magic power.

The natal magic weapon is closely related to the cultivator himself. From the low level to the high level, it is cultivated with one's own blood and magic power. Not only is it easier to control, but its power is also stronger than ordinary magic weapons. However, there are also pros and cons. When the cultivator's natal magic weapon is severely damaged, the cultivator himself will often suffer backlash.

It is true that there are some righteous monks with extremely deep foundations in Taoism who can sever the connection in time or fight back by relying on their own Taoism foundation, but the vast majority of demonic monks cannot do this. Even the righteous monks who can do this are very few in number, and demonic monks are even rarer.

At least, Kong Yourong could not use all kinds of forbidden magic to enhance the power of the Five Demons. At this moment, the closer the connection between her and the Five Demons, the greater the damage she would suffer.

"Ah!"

The blazing magic power impacted her own meridians through the connection of her life magic weapon. Kong Yourong, who was struggling with the white-clothed tree demon, raised her head and spat out a mouthful of blood flame. The blood turned into a flame while still in the air.

Lu Cheng's fire magic is so powerful that it is unparalleled in the world.

The next moment, the tree demon disappeared.

The Five Demons were immediately taken back into Kong Yourong's body and suppressed again.

The battle situation was once again brought back to its previous state.

Kong Yourong might have some advantages due to her profound magical powers, but she could not get rid of the entanglement between Lu Cheng and the ghost baby puppet.

In the final analysis, she was too greedy. If the Yin Lei Zi she had just used had been aimed at the ghost baby puppet, it would have been hard to say whether the ghost baby puppet would die or not. Lu Cheng definitely did not have the energy left to chase her down now.

"Young man, let me go, or we will die together."

"You definitely don't have any Yin Lei Zi in you. People like you will definitely not be willing to die with me. When you really want to do that, you will already be at the end of your rope."

Lu Cheng stretched his body, got into position again and raised his fist in front of him. He had a rebellious and aggressive nature, he longed for fighting and liked adventure: knowing his own nature, killing as much as he could, he would be free and equal to Buddha.

Tao is in everything and also in the heart!
“In this fight, our Pang family, your Ding family, and the Cao family cannot escape. We have been operating in Jingling County for many years, but we didn’t even notice that the Fu and Kong families have been demonic families for many years, which led to a disaster like today. Now Huanyun Valley can’t spare a hand. Once Huanyun Valley can spare a hand, our three families will all be guilty of the great sin of ruining their families.

Now we have a chance to make amends. We three old men should die when we are supposed to die."

On the ground, three old Taoists watched the battle from afar. As Taoist Lu Cheng gradually gained the upper hand, they made up their minds.

"You two old fellows only have a few years left to live, so I spent a lot of money to buy a longevity elixir. Now I have to die with you. It's such a fucking loss."

"Hey, Old Ding, stop complaining. After taking the longevity elixir, you won't have any thoughts or desires, and you won't have any love affairs. You can't even enjoy too much spiritual wine or spiritual meat. What's the point of living a few more years?"

As he spoke, the old Taoist named Cao took out a battle formation diagram and shook it. The battle formation diagram turned into a white cloud that carried the three people and flew high into the sky.

The Three Talents Killing Sword Formation is one of the most famous sword killing formations in the world. It can combine the magic power of three people and transform it into sword energy. If it is combined with the Four-Gate Golden Lock Formation, it can be both offensive and defensive, with infinite power. Seven Jindan Zhenren can compete with Yuanying early stage cultivators.

Without the Four Golden Locks Formation, the power of the Three Talents Killing Sword Formation would be weakened by three points. However, the three old Taoists were determined to die, and their murderous intent made up for the lack of three points of evil spirit.

“I thought that when I was about to die of old age, I would do evil things, bring disaster to my family, practice magic, and kill my children and grandchildren.

But I didn't expect that I could die in such a tragic battle, and my name would be passed down to future generations, with endless blessings, hahahahaha..."

Lu Cheng originally thought that this was a bitter fight between himself and the demon cultivator in front of him, and both sides would use all means to fight until death.

He never expected that starting from the six Jindan Zhenren from Huanyun Valley, support from the sect and even from the entire Jingling County would begin to pour in.

There will always be evil cultivators in this world, but there will also always be righteous cultivators.

The yin and yang of heaven and earth, the vastness of life and death, the endless interpretation, and the myriad of weather conditions.

"Grand Elder, Jingling Pang Shigong, Ding Chen, and Cao Lingbo have arrived to help you slay the demons and monsters!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge sword light came over, splitting the sky and the earth. The sword light was pure and pale, and the deathly intent was fierce.

Three late Jindan cultivators risked their lives and with the amplification of the Three Talents Killing Sword Formation, this sword light already had the power of the Yuanying realm.

Kong Yourong wanted to dodge, but in just a moment, she felt that there were enemies all around her. It turned out that Lu Cheng used the sword intent to attack her mind directly, delaying her mind for a moment.

The sword energy is so fast and fierce!
After this delay, it was too late to dodge, and Kong Yourong could only take the blow with the Nether Bone Sword.

Clang.

After one sword strike, another sword came. It was said that this was the Three Talents Killing Sword Formation. The three swords were struck out continuously.

Clang.

After the second sword, due to the restraint of Lu Cheng and the ghost baby puppet, Kong Yourong's magic power was unable to flow in time, and a crack was cut on the Flying Sword of Nether Bone, causing great damage to its spirituality.

Kong Yourong gritted her teeth and summoned the Flying Sword of the Nether Bone to counter the third ray of Three Talents sword energy that Pang Shigong slashed at her.

Boom.

The flying sword of the underworld slashed down, and the three Jindan Taoist masters, along with the fifth-level formation diagram, exploded together, and no body was left.

The ghost baby puppet controlled the flying sword and suddenly appeared at the side of Kong Yourong, and was blocked by her with the Phantom Demon Silk. However, Lu Cheng also appeared at the other side of her at some point, and used the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Tianyi True Art to punch out almost silently.

The seal hit Kong Yourong's lower abdomen.

The blazing and powerful magical power continuously flowed into Kong Yourong's body. The powerful earth and fire magic power contained in it actually caused the body to decompose and crack on all sides where she was hit by the fist. The shadow of death had shrouded Kong Yourong's mind, but it also stimulated her instinct to survive.

With a low roar, he exerted 120% of his magic power and forcibly knocked Lu Cheng and his fist away.

"Wow!"

However, the destructive power of Lu Cheng's punch, which was secretly using the tenth level of the Five Elements Transformation magic, was too strong. Even if Kong Yourong could save her life, she would vomit blood and her body would fall into the mountain. Her injuries were so serious that they could not be worse.

At the same time, thousands of miles away.

An old man with regular features but a cold temperament turned and left.

Behind him, there was a man with an iron mask following.

"The Demon Lord is not going to continue watching?"

In the territory of Qi State, the only cultivator who is qualified to be called Demon Lord is the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord of the Xuanmo Sect. Anyone else who gets this title will be regarded as a laughing stock.

"It took hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation and countless resources to cultivate such a chess piece. Now it is lost in vain. What's the point of watching it go on?"

"Hahahaha, no one expected that this catastrophe would start at this time. Otherwise, with your cultivation level, it would be a piece of cake to destroy Huanyun Valley and Haoran Courtyard and turn them all over to Xuanmo. This chess piece is not lost in vain. At least it allows us to glimpse a chess piece that the Yuanshen Ancestor has placed. Perhaps, we can get a great opportunity from him."

A young physical cultivator who possesses a sixth-order Nascent Soul puppet and can even summon a sixth-order Nascent Soul demon. With such an age, such cultivation, and such a worth, it is obvious that the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord and the Iron-faced Man have some misunderstandings about Lu Cheng's identity.

A Yuanying cultivator with a sixth-order puppet and a sixth-order demon by his side can be called a master. Who would pass it on to his disciples? Apart from the Yuanshen Patriarch, I'm afraid that even a great cultivator wouldn't have such a skill.

Therefore, although he lost a chess piece that he had arranged for many years, the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord was not very angry. If he could get a glimpse of the layout of the Yuanshen Ancestor through this person, God knows what kind of opportunity he would get.

On the other side, after four days and nights of fierce fighting, with the continuous support of the cultivators from Huanyun Valley and Jingling County, Lu Cheng was able to kill the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator Kong Yourong with his fists without seriously injuring himself, and absorbed the demon infant into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is nourished by the main soul of the sixth-level demon infant. The demonic energy is rising, and there are obvious signs of advancement to the sixth-level mid-grade. It only takes time to transform.

By beheading this great demon at the second level of the Nascent Soul, they obtained his Qiankun bag, as well as all the property of the Fu and Kong families. However, the entire Jingling County also suffered great damage. This is a large county in the core area of ​​Huanyun Valley. Generally speaking, the losses to the sect are far greater than the gains.

But this has nothing to do with Lu Cheng. It's not like a Nascent Soul cultivator can achieve success in a short period of time. If you want to hold the two senior brothers Huang Dao Zhong and Liu Hexuan accountable, neither of them can escape. It's just that the entire sect belongs to these three people to some extent, and no one will really pursue punishment.
