Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 292: Sealing the Demon
The huge figure of the Fire Demon occupied a huge space, with raging flames gushing out from his body with his breathing and burning winds sweeping across his body.

Its original giant metal claw had now melted into a ferocious sword. The sword and fire combined, and the temperature was blazing, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

How can an ordinary stream of fire compare to molten metal?

How can the sharp claws of wild beasts compare to weapons created for killing?

During the fight with the four people, this fire demon quickly learned and comprehended the techniques of killing, showing great talent in this aspect.

Taoist Lu Cheng, the white-clothed tree demon, the eldest ghost baby, and the second ghost baby joined forces to engage in a fierce battle over the Earth Fire Demon in the Death Realm.

Lu Cheng stood in the void, using the Five Elements Handprint to gather momentum to control the controllable energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding space and gather it into his body. After condensing his magic power, he blasted out with the Five Directions Five Elements Hammer. The void flickered, and he broke through the surface with a point and struck the weak with the strong. Like a sharp needle, he continuously broke through the sword force of the Flame Demon and caused damage to it.

At the same time, Lu Cheng's five elements magic was not weak either. He took advantage of the momentum from time to time to pull the surrounding rocks down and smash them towards the Flame Demon like a landslide.

The white-clothed tree demon transformed into a huge ancient tree, as big as a mountain, and wielded a huge earth sword with its own branches and trunk to block the attacks, combining defense with offense.

Among the four people present, her magic power was the most powerful, so every sword she fired was filled with extremely powerful sword force, suppressing the fire demon with supreme sword power.

The ghost baby boss combined his body with the Xuanyin flying sword, forming a sword energy that was extremely cold and yin. The flying sword slashed into it, and the sharp sword energy pointed directly at the weak qi of the Earth Fire Demon.

The majestic Yin Chi sword energy tore through space like thunder, emitting a whistling sound that shocked the mind.

The second ghost baby merged with the human treasure of the Seven Absolute Demon Banner, sometimes transforming into a thunder roc, sometimes transforming into a white lion of resentful water, looking for gaps to slip in, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The most powerful thing about this fire demon is that streams of fire occasionally appear from the cracks in the earth and merge into its huge body, causing it to expand and grow, making it more courageous as it fights.

"No, it will take too much energy to continue fighting like this, but this demon's replenishment is endless. We need the power to win with one strike."

Lu Cheng delivered 24 consecutive blows, using his weak punch to penetrate the space with the strong punch, blasting the Flame Demon so hard that the flames all over his body surged and flew away. However, his state at this moment was like a child dancing with a giant hammer. Although he relied on his outstanding skills to use the power of manpower with the hammer, he followed the momentum of the hammer and launched continuous combos.

However, the loss of mental and magical power is too great, and if one is not careful, one may even be injured by this power.

At the same time, as the owner of the Jiuli Ding, Lu Cheng gradually understood the problem.

Lu Cheng holds the Jiuli Ding and owns infinite Jiuli worlds. If he wants, he can even move the white-clothed tree demon and the two ghost babies out of this dead world and replace them with a Jiuli world for them to live in.

The Earth Fire Demon before him was conceived and grew in this world, and after countless years, its existence is also giving back to the world.

Lucheng owns the Jiuli world, but it actually lives here, so this world is closer to it.

"Of course I can move the tree demon to a better world, but I'm afraid that will damage her Taoism and be very detrimental to her Taoism.

"She must overcome the calamity and change the world. Only when she can do this can she have a future."

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng no longer hesitated, but retracted his fist and retreated, using the momentum to escape into the earth, and then floated beside the white-clothed tree demon and landed on its trunk.

"I cut off my six senses, my heart of Taoism was broken, I was detached from the world, and I forgot about the sword and myself..."

At first, the white-clothed tree demon didn't understand what Lu Cheng meant, but after a few sword strikes, she felt a sudden increase in pressure due to Lu Cheng's withdrawal. In addition, her mind had become clearer and her Taoism had improved greatly in recent days, so she reacted quickly. However, she was still a little hesitant under the Flame Demon's Barbarian Fire Sword.

She didn't know that Lu Cheng had the ability to directly move her and her son to another world. Making this decision was a matter of life and death, so of course she would hesitate.

But soon, she saw her two sons fleeing in a panic as the fire was spit out by the fire demon. This made her make up her mind quickly:
"Master, I know that I have committed serious sins. I only ask that when things are beyond help, you can take my two young sons with you to escape. In this way, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-clothed tree demon followed Lu Cheng's teachings, cut off his six senses, and reached the peak of his spiritual heart. He closed all his senses and only retained the sense of the sword.

Lu Cheng did not answer the tree demon, but closed his eyes on its shoulder, turned into a sword demon, and moved with the sword.

The magic power of the white-clothed tree demon and Lu Cheng's swordsmanship merged into one at this moment.

And in the perception of the fire demon on the opposite side, the pressure on himself suddenly increased sharply.

If you forget about life and death, you will become the god of sword.

The huge sword transformed from rock, infused with magic power, suddenly pierced before his eyes. The sword intent and sword moves were heavy, deep, vigorous and domineering.

When it was waved, the shapes of mountains and the four seas and the vast earth seemed to be all contained in it.

"what happened?"

The Flame Demon stepped back, wielding his sword to block, no longer bothering to attack the two ghost babies that looked like little bugs.

But this time, it is completely different from before.

Its newly-forged greatsword slashed at the tree demon's even rougher earth sword. The earth sword guided it along the way, then stabbed forward diagonally, with the tip of the sword slashing right at the spine of its own sword, where the sword's force could not reach. With a clang, a gap appeared on the spine of the giant sword.

"what happened?"

The Flame Demon asked this question for the second time, but no one could answer it.

The two ghost babies looked at their master from the side, closed their eyes, and held the seal on their mother's shoulders, controlling the sword with their spirit. The more advanced their sword skills were, the more they felt like they were seeing a god.

The Ghost Infant Boss felt this particularly clearly. Every time he saw his master wielding a sword, he would find that the gap between himself and the other party was widening.

This is because as my own cultivation increases, my own eyesight improves and I can see more things that I couldn't see before, but it is also because my master is really improving at a faster rate than me. I practice swordsmanship in order to master powerful strength and enjoy everything that this powerful strength brings, but my master is born with a love of practicing Taoism and likes to constantly practice and perfect himself. This is the most terrifying thing.

The huge body of the Fire Demon suddenly turned into a ball of fire and flew around in the air. When it fell again, the sword in its hand had become different.

With the buzzing sound of forging, the sword's blade extended from the spine to fill the flaw, but now the sword no longer looked like a sword, but more like a big iron spike.

"You can draw inferences from one example, which shows your understanding. However, it is still not enough."

At this moment, Lu Cheng was like a sword demon born from the sword, controlling the sword master and gaining a great advantage in a short period of time, but Lu Cheng pursued a quick victory.

Because he knew clearly that a person's mental strength has its limits, practicing the method of "severing one's six senses and breaking the limit of Tao heart" is like locking oneself in darkness. When the cultivator's mental strength is exhausted, every minute and every second in it will become as long as a day or a month.

You need to completely eliminate your opponent before the white-clothed tree demon runs out of energy.

Lu Cheng's spiritual consciousness completely angered the Earth Fire Demon.

It swooped down from the sky, and the flames that spread across the sky were like a large cloud of fire, and in it, there were countless vortex-shaped sharp offensive edges covering it.

The speed at which this demon improves is extraordinary.

Just like a blank sheet of paper, content was quickly written on it during the swordfight with the four people, greatly increasing the combat power.

Huoyun pounced on Lu Cheng's sword net, and the sword and fire collided. This time, the huge earth sword in Lu Cheng's hand kept breaking and cracking, as if he was defeated.

"Hahahahaha, you're nothing more than that!"

Seeing that his transformation had indeed suppressed his opponent, the Flame Demon was ecstatic. Although he could not read, he could feel such emotions from his spiritual consciousness. He had not yet learned to hide his emotions.

Fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to metal.

When the earth sword in Lu Cheng's hand collapsed to the extreme, a dazzling platinum sword light emerged from it and suddenly slashed out diagonally. With just one sword, the fire demon who was emitting demonic flames all over his body was slashed diagonally.

Swish, bang.

A huge sword mark appeared on the back of the Flame Demon, and a blazing stream of fire suddenly rushed out.

Although fire overcomes metal, a momentary burst is enough to break the demon's body.
"The five elements are created by earth, and the nature of things is destroyed by a point. Both are the truth, and they are not contradictory. Remember this."

At the moment of breaking open the body of the Flame Demon, Lu Cheng conveyed this thought.

At the same time, he mobilized the magic power of the white-clothed tree demon and condensed it in an instant to shoot out a Heavenly Wood Divine Needle. The verdant green divine needle penetrated the torn body of the demon and directly hit the heart core of the Earth Fire Flame Demon, causing it to let out a terrifying howl that shook the earth. Seeing this, the eldest and second ghost babies were like wolves that smelled blood, each flying their swords and casting spells to attack.

This time, the fire demon was completely unable to resist and could only continuously burst out his magic power, just like a person constantly sacrificing limbs, barely saving his life and barely protecting himself from being attacked and killed by wolves.

"It's over? Are we through this?"

After completing the two attacks, Lu Cheng used his spiritual sense to call upon the white-clothed tree demon's mind to return.

Although the White-Clothed Tree Demon had consumed a huge amount of energy, he still found it hard to believe that the battle situation had undergone such a huge change in such a short period of time.

But at the same time, she also felt the meridians in her body burning. The Taoist in front of her was using his power in an unusually sharp and powerful way.

"We have only severely damaged it. We still need to catch up with it and kill it once and for all."

What follows is a chase. At this time, even if Lu Cheng controls the white-clothed tree demon's body, he may not be able to do better than the other party himself.

So they each cast spells and chased each other.

Under the constant pursuit and strangulation of the two ghost babies, the fire demon turned into a large flame and quickly plunged into the magma of this world.

Seeing this scene, the two ghost babies and the tree demon chasing behind were a little hesitant.

However, when Lu Cheng saw this, he rushed in without hesitation.

He is a Jindan body cultivator, and is not afraid of the high temperature of magma with just his physical body. At the same time, he is proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, and can use the Fire Escape and Thick Earth Escape in the current environment.

"Chase!"

Seeing that the Taoist threw himself in without hesitation, the white-clothed tree demon, who had turned into a human form shortly after him, gritted his teeth, spread a circle of magical light around him, and then rushed in.

She is a wood element magician, and the two ghost babies are both yin element magicians, so they are a little wary of this kind of environment, fearing that they will chase a tiger into a dead end and suffer from it.

But now that Taoist Lu Cheng, who had come to help, was so decisive, the three of them had no reason not to go down.

"First, I used a golden sword energy, and then I used the Heavenly Wood Divine Needle to hit its heart. Its damage is definitely more serious than you think. If I miss this opportunity, I may not be able to control it the next time it comes back."

The ability to fight can be learned quickly as long as you have enough magic power.

However, if one does not have enough time and resources to accumulate powerful magic, it is difficult to obtain it.

"I was able to survive this disaster this time, all thanks to the help of fellow Taoists." Upon hearing this, the white-clothed tree demon also said with emotion.

"You haven't gotten over this disaster yet, so there's no need to be so anxious to thank me."

Four rays of light flew rapidly through the earth's magma, chasing the fire, and finally arrived at an extremely hidden place after twists and turns.

I saw a huge red flint falling there, dark red and blazing, bringing even stronger light and heat to the surrounding environment.

"Earth Fire Stone?"

The four people who were chasing closely watched the fire, quickly plunged into it, and disappeared.

"Master, what is the Earth Fire Stone?"

The second ghost baby looked at the dark red boulder and asked curiously.

"It's one of the wonders of the world, and it's one of the less useful ones. But I didn't expect that the Flame Demon was born from it."

Lu Cheng had seen records of this strange stone in ancient books, and was quite interested in it at this moment.

"Cut it open and see where the monster can hide."

The ghost baby boss was full of rage and said this. After that, he combined his sword light and slashed at it. However, with a clang, the Xuanyin flying sword was knocked away directly, but the strange earth fire stone was not damaged at all.

"This……"

The ghost baby boss was knocked out of the state of unity between man and sword by the recoil. He looked at his Xuanyin Flying Sword with heartache and did not dare to use it again for a moment.

"Master, this treasure mine is so solid, why don't you take it back and forge a good sword for me!"

The second ghost baby's eyes flickered, and he was thinking about Lucheng and the treasure mine.

“The Earth Fire Stone becomes hard when it encounters heat. The higher the surrounding temperature and the higher the storage temperature, the harder it is. Otherwise, it will be extremely brittle. Except for a few sects that mainly practice Pure Yang and Fire Lineages, other sects cannot use this stone.

This stone has been absorbing the power of the earth and fire for tens of thousands of years, and even gave birth to monsters like the Flame Demon. Its hardness is not indestructible, but it is not something that a few of us can destroy.

Second brother, do you still want this flying sword? If you want it, I will refine it for you myself."

"No, no, no, no, thanks. I don't practice the Fire Elemental Law." Upon hearing this, the second ghost baby waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that his master would really forge a useless sword for him and get rid of him.

"Master, what should we do with this fire demon hiding in there? Take this strange stone out and let it disperse the firepower?"

The white-clothed tree demon who had transformed into a human form asked this.

"...No, if this demon can connect to this strange stone and cause it to explode, you and I will be seriously injured even if we survive."

"What should we do?" Hearing this, the white-clothed tree demon was somewhat anxious and embarrassed. No one wanted to have such a demon lurking in the house where they lived.

"It seems that this demon's luck has not yet run out. We cannot kill it. It is better to cast a spell to seal it first. When you change the world in the future and its luck runs out, you can kill it."

The Earth Fire Demon is one of the few powerful creatures in this world of tree demons. This world still recognizes it. If the outsider, the White Clothed Tree Demon, wants to kill it calmly, he must prove that the changes he has brought are far greater than the death and destruction of the world brought by the Fire Demon.

If destiny has changed like this, how difficult is it to kill him?
After the exchange, Lu Cheng left Jiuli Ding and the tree demon's death realm, and then chose a Flowing Fire Retaining Earth Formation from the Taoist formation book he had exchanged.

The four of them worked together to cast a spell, setting up a formation around the Earth Fire Stone to seal the stone. In this way, although the Flame Demon could continue to repair its internal injuries, it would be difficult for it to come out again within two hundred years. As for two hundred years later, perhaps the tree demon would have gained the recognition of this world.

After resolving the issue of the calamity faced by the white-clothed tree demon, Lu Cheng escaped from the Jiuli Ding and continued to practice Taoism on Kun Island, while reading Taoist books to enrich his knowledge.

Of course, he was still worried about the Tongxuan World. He had lived for more than 20 years in the Mars Era, but had lived for nearly 200 years in the Tongxuan World. That world was already his second home. Moreover, he had his teachers, Taoist companions, disciples, and enemies in that world...

It was only because of his years of practicing Taoism that Lu Cheng had enough mental ability to control himself. He had been collecting magic weapons and Taoist books over the years so that they would come in handy after he returned.

If he would be of no use after returning and would just be one more person to die, Lu Cheng would not do such a thing. He would only choose to stay in the Dingzhang World to continue his cultivation and then avenge all the dead.

"Teacher Chi Shen Zi and Master Huang Long Zi are both outstanding people. Although it is difficult, they have been preparing for a thousand years. They must have a way to temporarily stop the Demon God Catastrophe. What I have to do now is to collect magic weapons and Taoist books. After returning, I will greatly improve the Taoist foundation of Tongxuan Realm and prepare for the future counterattack to completely resolve the Demon God Catastrophe."

Circulating the profound skills and purifying the spiritual platform, the Taoist sat upright on the Dharma platform and once again entered into diligent cultivation.

Some time later, a talisman flew to the cave where Lu Cheng was practicing in seclusion, and it actually passed through the defensive restrictions outside and flew straight in.

Lu Cheng slowly opened his eyes on the altar and raised his hand just in time to catch the talisman.

This is a communication talisman sent from the main island of Cangyun. No other talisman has such authority to disturb the Taoist's practice.

"Seven days later, we will go to the main island of Cangyun? What's going on?"

He put his spiritual consciousness into it and then extracted it. Lu Cheng squeezed it slightly, and the talisman in his hand suddenly turned into ashes.

The cultivators from the North Territory and the South Territory were fighting each other, so there were naturally many personnel changes, including head-on fights and ambushes. However, Kun Island had a special status, so Lu Cheng and Gui Dongmei had seldom made any changes over the years. The main island's requirement for them was to just guard the spiritual island and make great contributions.
