Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 275: Fight for Spirit Island
"True Lord, please calm down."

“Elder Tie, your sect is far away from Nanlihai so you don’t know this person. This person is Luo Ji’an from the Heavenly Demon Killing Sword Sect. This sect is a famous demon sect in Nanlihai. The cultivators in this sect are cruel and bloodthirsty. They will kill people everywhere if they find an excuse. You don’t have to make enemies with this person just for Kunzi Island.

Just give it to him for now, and I will find a good spiritual island for you."

Lu Cheng reached out his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the frightened middle-aged monk in front of him to calm his fear.

Then he looked at Luo Ji'an from the Tianyao Sword Sect, and saw a fierce light like poisonous fire in this man's eyes.

In an instant, Lu Cheng made up his mind. Facing this cultivator who had damaged his brain by practicing magic, even if he gave in, he would probably get nothing good.

What's more, this was the period of sect war between the Southern and Northern regions of Tian.

At other times, the cultivators may be able to remain calm and at ease, drink tea and discuss Taoism, so as to cool down their inner fire and avoid being affected by disasters.

But in this period of time when a great catastrophe is approaching, cultivators also value the strong. If they give in today, they will probably have to give in step by step in the future, and even the cultivators from Huanyun Valley behind them will not be able to raise their heads.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Shan, since I have already chosen the Spirit Island, I will trouble you to help me with the formalities. All the grudges in the future have nothing to do with you. I, Huanyun Valley, will always remember the friendship we had today."

Lu Cheng pulled Shan Ji'an behind him and blocked the terrifying murderous aura and evil spirit coming from the opposite side for him. Shan Ji'an felt much more relaxed and was grateful to Lu Cheng. He knew that this matter was beyond his control, so he lowered his head and responded, and was about to leave with the documents.

"Since the documents have not yet returned to the island, it doesn't count as if your Huanyun Valley has already chosen a spiritual island. You can't go anywhere."

Luo Ji'an raised his hand and threw a sleeve towards Shan Ji'an. This man from the evil way acted recklessly. His sleeve contained multiple sword energies such as endless poison, plague, corruption, miasma, ghosts, demons, monsters, etc., which could hurt people invisibly.

But Lu Cheng was also on guard against this move and quickly stretched out his hand to block it. His palm was white and delicate, but it was faintly covered with a layer of golden-red glow.

As for the golden elixir energy, since the cultivators of the Dingzhang world do not cultivate the Disha Tiangang, their magic power is far weaker than that of the cultivators of the Tongxuan world. Therefore, although they have a little golden elixir energy, it is far from enough to use it to fight the enemy.

Luo Ji'an's multiple sword energies collided and disrupted the golden elixir energy, causing the entire hall to shake slightly. However, Shan Ji'an was safe and sound, and didn't even notice anything.

Luo Ji'an and Lu Cheng each took two steps back, both feeling numbness in their palms.

"You really have some tricks up your sleeve. No wonder you dare to compete with me. Let's compete again!"

A red light flashed in Luo Ji'an's eyes, and sword energy spread around him.

Lu Cheng was not to be outdone. Black mist was lurking and spreading around him, and he had already begun to mobilize the ghost baby's magic power.

"My two Taoist friends, can you listen to me?"

At this moment, a gentle and charming female voice spoke behind Luo Ji'an.

Then, a face with an unparalleled beauty, showing both joy and anger, appeared sideways.

Her skin is as white as cream, her forehead is as beautiful as a moth, her smile is charming, and her eyes are longing!
She was graceful and beautiful, but her face was too pale, without a trace of blood. She was dressed in a yellow shirt, with an air of a fairy, as if she was not from the mortal world, like a celestial being.

"Friend Han, if you have something to say, please speak up."

Luo Ji'an, who was almost planning to take action, suppressed his anger at this moment and said this in a slightly cold tone.

However, Lu Cheng knew that this was the greatest expression of goodwill he could show at this moment. The skills practiced by the Tianyao Sword Sect must be extremely fierce. Once the murderous intent was aroused, it would be like a flying sword unsheathed, and it would not return until blood was shed.

He was able to suppress it under such circumstances, which shows how important this female cultivator is to him.

Lu Cheng also slightly restrained his fighting spirit. He also didn't want to offend the two Yuanying Zhenjun when he first arrived in Nanlihai.

Han Sujin was one of the monks stationed on Cangyun Island. Lu Cheng had also seen her portrait in Huanyun Valley. She had come here with Luo Ji'an before, and it was even possible that she was the one who told Luo Ji'an to strive for the garrison mission on Kunzi Island.

The Tianyao Sword Sect is closer to here than the Huanyun Valley. If it hadn't been delayed by some unexpected events along the way, there wouldn't have been any conflict today.

Han Sujin probably didn't want to be known for abusing her power for personal gain, so she didn't remind the monks below. Otherwise, Shan Ji'an wouldn't have dared to recommend the spiritual island.

"But is it Master Tie Xiao of the Illusion Cloud Valley of the Cang Yun Spirit Vein who is here in person? It is a great pleasure to meet you. I am honored. Logically speaking, fellow Daoist has already chosen the Spirit Island, and Su Jin should not bring up this matter. However, this Spirit Island is of great importance to the main island of Cang Yun. If there is any mistake, it will be like a sharp knife at the throat of the main island of Cang Yun.

How about this, Brother Luo Dao will pay for the right to garrison this spiritual island, which can also be regarded as making up for the loss of Brother Tie Dao. In the future, we should still help each other, so how can we damage the harmony here?"

In addition to her naturally beautiful appearance, this woman must have also practiced some kind of charm technique. With just a few words, she can give people the feeling of bewitching everyone, and her every frown and smile can lead people astray.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for your advice. I, Huanyun Valley, will definitely defend the gate and guard Kunzi Island. No loss is allowed."

Lu Cheng practiced the secret dual cultivation technique that Deng Dongyuan had studied all his life, the Jade Cultivation Technique, and the Taiyi Tiandun Yin-Yang Calculation Technique.

To successfully practice this kind of technique, one must have stronger concentration than a normal cultivator. Xue Yuzhen was a natural beauty with a body as big as a pillow and as soft as cotton. Lu Cheng spent several years with her, but his foundation was not destroyed. When he looked at the most beautiful women in the world, he had a lot more resistance.

Unlike many Nascent Soul cultivators, who started practicing Taoism as children and wanted to try dual cultivation after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Although it did not lead to the destruction of the foundation of Taoism, it did reduce a lot of the spirit. Of course, strictly speaking, people like Lu Cheng and Deng Dongyuan who had tasted all the bitterness in the early stage of Taoism and then escaped were actually on the path of evil. If most cultivators learn this, they will fall into the path of evil.

"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Han, you have good intentions but they don't appreciate it. Tie Xiao, there are precedents for fighting over spiritual islands like this. Don't think that you can really occupy Kunzi Island just because of your strengths. In the fight for spiritual islands, cultivators can fight to decide the winner."

"Then I will learn from your magical powers and will be at your service at any time."

Lu Cheng noticed that Shan Ji'an's face was flushed with anxiety, and knew that Luo Ji'an might be notorious for his cruel methods.

But with that attack just now, he had already determined that the opponent was at most a cultivator in the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it was impossible for him to have the magical powers of a middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. At this level, there were not many cultivators who could defeat him.

……

Not long after, in an empty sky near Feiling Palace, Luo Ji'an in a black robe and Han Sujin in a yellow Taoist robe appeared there.

"Brother Luo, although Taoist Tie Xiao has only been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, he is indeed quite famous. It is said that he once killed a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator lurking in the sect. He must have some tricks. Brother Luo, you must recover your magic power in the next few days."

"What? Su Jin, you don't believe in my methods?" "Of course not. The sword skills of the Tianyao Sword Sect are very powerful, and Brother Luo has mastered them. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who is not good at fighting may not be your opponent. If not, I would not have personally gone to the Tianyao Sword Sect to invite you to come and guard Kunzi Island. Who knew that such twists and turns would arise.

I originally wanted to ensure that Kunzi Island was safe and protect the people from death. After what happened today, I don’t know how outsiders will spread the news.”

High in the sky, Taoist nun Han Sujin sighed softly, and the beauty frowned, feeling compassion for the world.

"What kind of twists and turns are these? I won't kill that Iron Owl, I'll just destroy his hundred years of cultivation. As long as I can protect Kunzi Island afterward, who wouldn't be grateful for your merits, Han Sujin?"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The cultivators from Huanyun Valley had also investigated the information of cultivators like Han Sujin and Luo Ji'an, but after reading it, the faces of the cultivators from Huanyun Valley all changed slightly.

The Tianyao Sword Sect, also known as the Tianyao Killing Sword Sect, is a major demon sect in the Nanli Sea that is no weaker than the Cangyun Xuanmo Sect.

The sect practices the killing sword technique, which is similar to the sword magic vein and is extremely fierce.

Han Sujin, Luo Ji'an and several other Nascent Soul cultivators teamed up to turn the tables during the great rout in the Northern Territory, and killed a Tiannan Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator and made great military achievements.

It is difficult for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage to improve their magic power. Most of them are in the initial or middle stages. If one can reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he can be considered a master, unless he is particularly bad at fighting.

But no matter how flustered the cultivators in Huanyun Valley were, they could not shake the determination of Patriarch Tiexiao.

Lu Cheng had already gone into seclusion to practice and study, and did not take this matter to heart.

Three days later.

It is still the main island of Cangyun and the Jilang Palace.

With so many monks, disputes are inevitable. Monks who have disputes can report them to Cangyun City for arbitration, or they can come to the Jilang Palace to resolve their grievances on their own.

As long as a sum of spirit stones is paid, high-level monks will come to the rescue to avoid casualties. However, after a fight, serious injuries are often unavoidable.

Luo Ji'an, dressed in a black robe, arrived at the sword-fighting arena in Jilang Palace early in the morning. Despite the scorching sunlight, he closed his eyes and rested there.

Until half an hour later, when the steward of Jilang Hall was about to announce that Luo Ji'an won without a fight, a ray of sword light just flew over, but it was Lu Cheng who was late with his sword.

Luo Ji'an suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the young Taoist and said coldly:
"I no longer use this method to confuse people after I reach the seventh level of Qi training."

Lu Cheng heard this, but ignored him, and just bowed to another Nascent Soul cultivator present and said:
"I have been studying Taoism in my cave, and I have some understanding. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

The Cangyun Island monk did not take it seriously. For a monk at this level, half an hour was too short:

"Since it is still within the stipulated time, then it is fine."

"Humph."

Seeing this, Luo Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and the murderous intent in his heart that had been suppressed suddenly became more intense again.

At this moment, he no longer intended to hold back. He would just kill him. If the cultivator from Cangyun Island could not be rescued, it would be Tiexiao's fate.

After Lu Cheng entered the field, the cultivator from Cangyun Island looked at it, then nodded and uttered the word "Start".

In an instant, Luo Ji'an and Lu Cheng attacked almost at the same time.

Sword energy burst out from Luo Ji'an's body, and then he thrust out with a sword. In an instant, the sword rainbow was as bright as the Milky Way, and billions of silver sword beams slashed down. The sword force was extremely powerful.

Lu Chengyu also attacked with a flying sword, the Xuanyin Flying Sword, but his sword light was not as sharp and fierce, dazzling and dazzling as Luo Ji'an's sword light. Instead, it was extremely cold. The sword light moved around and changed infinitely, with one sword creating a thousand illusions, and it secretly contained endless sword power, which suddenly erupted in the weakest places and contained power in the smallest places.

There is no way around it, the Ghost Infant Technique will always be at the Nascent Soul level of magic power, and the Xuanyin Flying Sword is only a sixth-grade low-grade sword pill.

In other words, his sword power, speed, sharpness, and quality were all inferior to his opponent's, but Lu Cheng held on. The sword light flew, changed in a thousand ways, avoided the real and attacked the fake, and managed to resist the opponent's attack with his relatively weaker magic sword power.

The ghost baby hiding in the cold iron puppet was stunned. He put himself in the puppet's shoes and felt that he was being cut and killed by millions of sword lights.

"Great swordsmanship, but it's a pity that you guys in Huanyun Valley only know how to bluff people with this kind of fake acrobatics!"

Just as Huanyun Valley would investigate the Tianyao Sword Sect, the cultivators of the Tianyao Sword Sect would also investigate the past battle records of Taoist Tiexiao of Huanyun Valley.

So Luo Ji'an was not surprised by his opponent's performance at this moment.

Just by increasing the sword energy, endless poison, plague, corruption, miasma, ghost, demon, monster and other multiple sword energies spread and grew, and the heavy sword cloud naturally suppressed Lu Cheng, suppressing people with force and momentum.

The fact that he could perform the poison sword technique with such great force and vigor also shows how advanced Luo Ji'an was in wielding the sword.

At this level, Lu Cheng could still resist with swordsmanship, but he did not do so again. Instead, he used the sixth-level intermediate magic weapon, the Phantom Demon Banner.

It was like a poisonous dragon circling in the sky. When the sword light in the air fell down, the dark poisonous cloud suddenly spread out, and everything became dark.

"Humph, you have such a talent for swordsmanship, but you don't know how to cherish it. Instead, you practice these miscellaneous illusions. This is the reason for your defeat today."

Luo Ji'an didn't usually talk so much, but today when he saw Lu Cheng's swordsmanship, he felt it was a pity, so he said a little more.

"The four fields of heaven and earth, the mountains and rivers, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the leaves and withered grass, are all my swords. You say that you are sincere in the way of the sword, but what you practice is not the way of the sword but the way of the gods, because you worship the sword as a god. The sword is always in my hand and will always be the weapon of the brave.

A sword that is not in my hand is only a piece of iron."

Hiding in the endless darkness brought by the Phantom Demon Banner is equivalent to the effect of a sixth-level invisibility talisman. The Phantom Demon black fog can block the five senses of the cultivator. In this black fog, not only the cultivator's spiritual consciousness is restricted, but even the power of the pupil technique is weakened.

Of course, this restraint is relative. Spells such as the Great Sun Golden Eye Spell can strongly restrain the power of the Phantom Demon Banner.
