Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 323: The Taoist Carrying a Sword to Save the People

Deep in the dim underground cave, the Wanzai Yin Pearl and the Nether Sword completed a mysterious combination. The Yin Pearl released a deep and dark light, and the sword exuded a chilling chill.

The Wanzai Yinzhu itself is already a sixth-rank top-grade spiritual object. If it falls into the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator who practices Yin-attributed techniques, it will be of endless use, whether it is used to purify magic power to increase cultivation, or to be refined into a magic weapon to enhance its power.

And this Wanzai Yinzhu has an even stronger blessing on this Netherworld Sword.

The combination of the two was like awakening an ancient power that had been dormant underground for ages, causing millions of negative and evil spirits in the earth's core to surge like an invisible black tide, converging towards the source of this powerful force.

As time went by, the air around the entire mountain became cold and heavy, as if even time had frozen at this moment. In a flash, the killing intent was like a sword that tore through the sky, breaking the silence of the underground cave that had lasted for ten thousand years.

A powerful and dark sword energy surged out, the surrounding mountain barriers shattered like mirrors, the sky and the earth collapsed, and the sword light shot up into the sky.

The sword is the Netherworld Sword, and the light is the Nine Evil Spirits’ divine light.

If such an innate magic sword is born, there will inevitably be a blood sacrifice across the world, which will evolve into a great catastrophe and a great calamity, and hundreds of thousands and millions of lives will be killed. Without many Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun dying under the sword, how can the innate way be preserved?
Life is the way of heaven, and killing is also the way of heaven.

With the mountain where Shi Sheng and Yun Huang'er were hiding as the center, sword energy and sword light spread out in all directions.

Although Yun Huang'er has the magical power of a Jindan realm cultivator, at this moment she can only hide and dare not collide head-on.

She was born in the Cangjian Palace and had seen countless famous swords since she was a child, but it was because she knew them that she realized how terrifying they were.

At this moment, he looked at the evil sword floating in the air with fear.

"Innate Demon Sword, Shi Sheng is the demon sword spirit we have been looking for? Will he defeat me?"

Before Yun Huang'er could think about it, the divine light of the Nine Evil Spirits spread in all directions.

In an instant, within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on the mountain, millions of beasts were enveloped by the divine light and their bodies were torn apart and killed, and all their souls and blood voluntarily flew towards the divine sword.

In the midst of the blood souls that filled the sky, a dark red blood shadow of a sword spirit gradually condensed.

At the same time, the clouds in the sky split apart, and a clear light enveloped below.

"Hahahahahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is, killing can actually bring me merit from the Way of Heaven, so this is what Master meant when he said that the destiny of heaven can turn a great disaster into great merit, hahahaha. Both the inner and outer aspects are proven, I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, so satisfying, so satisfying!"

The eldest ghost baby in the Netherworld Sword was not reincarnated and controlled by the mystery in the womb, so when it was carried by Shi Sheng and met the Wanzai Yin Pearl, it coveted the pure Yin energy generated underground for millions of years under the pearl.

The two combined to transform magic power, but the ghost baby boss did not expect that the underground Yin energy here was too strong and deep. The Yin energy had accumulated for millions of years and was so sharp that it was difficult for the Netherworld Sword to bear and digest it.

Therefore, the eldest ghost baby immediately channeled the Yin energy into his younger brother Shisheng's body, and the two brothers digested and transformed it together.

As time went by, the extremely strong edge of the Yin Fire could not be dissipated. Finally, the ghost baby boss in the Netherworld Sword took control of Shi Sheng and slashed out with a sword the Nine Evil Spirits Divine Light to vent his magic power.

With one sword strike, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on the mountain was cut into pieces, and millions of beasts were torn apart and killed. Their souls and blood voluntarily flew towards the sword.

It was not until this time that the Netherworld Sword Spirit finally completed its body cultivation.

Just looking at the corpses scattered all around and the millions of decaying beasts, even the Nether Sword Spirit, with its vicious and ferocious nature, couldn't help but feel a chill in its heart at this moment:
"I originally thought that as long as I had enough magic power and a sharp enough sword, I could conquer the world. But now it seems that there is no difference between me and these beasts.

Without sufficient practice and understanding of the changes in destiny, you will ultimately be nothing more than a pawn in the hands of those great monks, and your life and death will be difficult to control in your own hands. "

Over the past decade, the fate of himself and his brother Shisheng was all planned by that Taoist priest. Back then, the Taoist priest saw the Eight Landscapes and used three heroes and two clouds to gather the destiny of the world and prosper the Eight Landscapes.

He took advantage of the situation and got involved, which led to the achievements he and his brother have today. Now that his Dharma body has been completed, it is only a matter of time for him to cultivate back to the Nascent Soul stage. However, in front of that Taoist, the Nascent Soul stage that is enough to dominate the world made the Netherworld Sword Spirit feel unsafe.

"Forget it, forget it. After the matter is done, I will take my brother back to Master's door to learn the art of swordsmanship and the way of destiny. If you only cultivate magic power without knowing the destiny, the result will be nothing but ashes."

At this moment, several big monsters were flying quickly from the distant horizon.

Although the Netherworld Sword Spirit has reached the Nascent Soul stage at this moment, its magic power is unstable because it has just been achieved, so it turns into a flying sword again and falls back into the hands of the drowsy Shi Sheng.

Holding the Netherworld Sword, standing in the void, Shi Sheng's eyes were as cold as lightning and his expression was indifferent.

As the big monsters came to kill him, a strong murderous intent rose in his heart. He swung his sword horizontally, and dark whirlpools of yin and evil spirits formed around him, as if they could devour all life.

The man and the sword joined forces, the sword light flowed and changed, and after just a few rounds of sword fighting, those fifth-level monsters in the Jindan realm were all killed by Shi Sheng.

In the next moment, before the demons of a higher realm arrived, Shi Sheng and Yun Huang'er flew away on their swords that turned into rainbows.

At this moment, a powerful magical power formed by countless yin and bloody evil spirits is surging in his body, rushing in all directions.

Back then, the Eight Views took advantage of the great catastrophe and good fortune of this world to gather the scattered luck of the world on the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, wanting to use the momentum to create five Yuanying True Lords. If they succeeded, not only would the Yi Shu Taoism of the Eight Views be greatly improved, but the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, the five True Lords created by borrowing the luck, would also have a very heavy cause and effect relationship with the Eight Views, and there would be no worry that the two sides would not form a solid alliance for mutual benefit.

However, in addition to the Book of Changes, there is also the Heavenly Demon Algorithm. In the process of practicing the art of refining the soul, Lu Cheng's mind was elevated and he caught a glimpse of the secrets.

So he took advantage of the situation and placed his two disciples as chess pieces in the game, using the fate of the magic sword and the magic sword spirit to turn the great disaster into a great merit, and borrowed the fortune of the three heroes and two clouds. In the end, the two ghost babies were successfully reincarnated, and they cultivated to a very high level in a very short time and returned to the sect.

In fact, this change of luck is not necessarily a bad thing for the Three Heroes and Two Clouds. Since ancient times, great disasters and great fortunes, great fortunes and great disasters, disasters and fortunes complement each other. For many people with insufficient roots, too strong luck is not a good thing, and they often cannot withstand the subsequent backlash of disasters.

If there were really only benefits, Feng Xuanying wouldn't be the only one among the Three Yings and Two Yuns who was a disciple of the Eight Jingxiang.

Yan Yuanying, who was born in Tianji Mansion, was the first to be alerted. He first pursued the married Xiao sisters to try to save himself, and then hid himself to avoid the external disaster. Qian Hongying of Zhenhun Valley and Feng Xuanying of Bajing were attacked by Canglongsou, a wandering immortal from overseas, and one died and the other was seriously injured.

Yun Linger, who was in the second cloud, was able to get rid of the calamity with the help of a ghost infant pill from her adoptive father, and was no longer in any major trouble.

Yun Huang'er is trapped in a love affair without knowing it, and her future is unpredictable...

At the same time, Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi continued to hunt down the Nine-headed Bird Ghost Chariot, one of the twenty-four demon gods.

This demon bird can fly extremely fast and is good at illusion. With the power of the demon god combined with the ability of illusion, it can control countless beasts to attack Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi with just a thought.

Fortunately, Guiche was concerned about the face of the Demon God and refused to surrender to other Demon Gods, otherwise, Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi would have no choice but to retreat.

Under the sky, a tornado of evil wind was howling and rampaging, and nine-headed giant monsters spread their wings, descending like a cloud covering the sky.

Below is a Tang Dynasty city that has been slaughtered by monsters.

Countless evil birds were flying around in the city, and wailing was everywhere.

The city was devastated, wailing was heard, and the streets were rivers of blood. Every step taken by ordinary people was filled with despair of being stuck in the quagmire.

The nine-headed demon bird watched coldly, mocking the fragility of the human world. It raised its head and swallowed. The river of blood flowing throughout the city was attracted and lifted up, rushing into its mouth.

The poison in the body is like attached to the bones, but it can be diluted as long as enough human blood is swallowed. If it weren't for the fact that the alchemy fanatic Huo Xiu's poison technique was extremely exquisite, after the Taoist of the Eight Landscapes had calculated it, the poison would have been continuously enriched by the people of the city, making it stronger and stronger. In this world, the poison that can cause such a serious injury to the Demon God is so rare that it is almost non-existent.

"We are too late. This monster has probably recovered a lot of its vitality after swallowing human blood."

Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi hid in the dark with the help of the Tianyi True Art. Over the years, Lu Cheng shared the Taoist books and classics he obtained from the Dingzhang World with various sects. Of course, the various sects in the Tongxuan World also had to reciprocate and give out their own Taoist books and techniques.

Although it may not be as valuable as what Lu Cheng paid, it has greatly enriched his collection of books. Mie Hongzi also comprehended the Taoist Tianyi True Secret of the Eight Landscapes through Huang Longzi's relationship.

This Taoist method enables the cultivator to become one with nature, and has a high chance of deceiving those of the same level without taking any action.

However, even if they attacked secretly, in this situation, the chances of their success would be decreasing. If they failed, Lu Cheng would still be okay with the protection of the Samsara Banner, but Mie Hongzi would almost certainly die.

"Do your best to obey fate."

"..."

After Third Uncle Mie Hongzi said this, Lu Cheng had nothing to say. His uncle had already put life and death aside.

However, at this moment, a magnificent sword light suddenly rushed over from the horizon, gathering endless evil spirits, but with a hint of spiritual light of heavenly virtue. In this world, there is heavenly way and great way. The great way is the summary of the laws of the universe, while heavenly way refers more to the summary of the laws operating in a world.

There are infinite worlds within the universe, and the internal legal rules of each world may be different.

The Heavenly Dao of the Tongxuan World originally came from the fragments of the worlds of Chiyang and Qingming. It was already quite large in itself. Because it could produce the Taiyi Yuan innate Qi, the twenty-four demon gods continuously threw it into the broken planes outside the sky to replenish its origin. Over the past ten thousand years, its scale has been no less than any other big world.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this world also began to reject the twenty-four demon gods. Because they were constantly being harvested, the Heavenly Dao of this world could never truly develop.

Therefore, the Netherworld Sword devoured the millions of beasts that invaded this world, and although it was full of blood and energy, it was also blessed with the merits of Heaven.

At this time, he flew here and met Lu Cheng.

The Ghost Chariot was originally lying on top of the city, swallowing the river of blood. It had already vaguely sensed some kind of spying, but the poison in its body disturbed its clarity of mind. Suddenly, it felt a huge sword energy flying past its head. It thought it was some kind of precious treasure, so it looked up to the sky and stirred up the demonic energy around it, which rushed into the sky and hit the Netherworld Sword directly.

It was at this moment that a divine consciousness connected with the sword intent, and in an instant, sword aura filled the sky.

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

Many of the seventh-level magical weapons for the soul have developed their own spirituality, so the seventh-level magical weapons are also called spiritual treasures.

They can consume their own essence and allow the chosen Nascent Soul cultivator to control them. Although their power is not as strong as that in the hands of a true Divine Transformation Master, their power is still too great to be matched by ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

This kind of thing usually happens in top sects with a long history. The ancestors of the sect left behind a seventh-level spiritual treasure inheritance. The spiritual treasure also develops feelings for this sect. Among the disciples of the original owner, it chooses a talented one who is pleasing to the eye, and protects the disciple's path and also protects the sect left by its master.

But this kind of thing has its pros and cons. The advantage is that when a Nascent Soul cultivator controls a seventh-level Soul magic weapon, ordinary cultivators of the same level really cannot stop him, and he can defeat many enemies alone. The disadvantage is that if he fails, the seventh-level Soul magic weapon cannot exert its full power in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Once the Nascent Soul cultivator is defeated, he will also lose a seventh-level magic weapon. The Soul Sect cannot afford to suffer such losses several times.

Although the Netherworld Sword is only at the sixth level, it does have its own spirituality. After Lu Cheng taught it the "Heavenly Demon Sword Sutra" and practiced it to the highest level, it transformed into a human with the body of a sword demon, married and had children, ascended to the upper realm, and achieved the status of a sword immortal.

Because of this, and the fact that he was truly convinced of Lu Cheng's swordsmanship and Taoism, even if the Netherworld Sword Spirit was naturally violent, he was willing to bow his head in front of Lu Cheng.

The vast magic power contained in this flying sword, combined with Lu Cheng's sword intent and swordsmanship, at that moment, it was as if the sky was cracking. The sharp and roaming sword light tore through the evil spirit, and in an instant, the ghost car below clearly felt a sense of threat to its own life.

"This kind of swordsmanship has only been around for more than 1,200 years. How could this world give birth to a sword immortal cultivator of this level?"

Along with Lu Cheng, Mie Hongzi also drew her sword. This female nun who slayed demons and defended the way never lagged behind others. No matter whether she was unable to do it or not, she would draw her sword and kill without hesitation.

"Mie Hongzi, you have been lonely all your life. You once loved your elder brother, but you ended up alienating him because of the sword path. You are now alone. Do you regret it? The disciple you raised as your daughter was sent to his disciples, but she only got one of the five servants. Don't you feel resentful?"

The nine heads of the ghost chariot moved at the same time, uttering words of the devil that went straight into people's hearts.

This is the innate ability of the Ghost Car. If used to the right effect, it can even be like controlling Elder Jianli. Without paying anything, you can obtain a puppet of the same level and drive it until death.

At this moment, Mie Hongzi saw Lu Cheng's back, and a voice in his heart grew louder and clearer, urging him: "Stab him with a sword! For yourself and for your disciple!"

However, the magic power of Guiche continued to penetrate into Mie Hongzi's body, but its greatest effect was to make the nun put away her sword and stop attacking, but she did not attack Lu Cheng either.

But this was the best way for Guiche to break the deadlock at this time. Mie Hongzi stabbed Lu Cheng from behind, and the sword move that was falling from the sky was broken immediately. Therefore, Guiche put a lot of spiritual power into attacking Mie Hongzi.

Under the dark sword light of Lu Cheng, he flapped his wings and flew away, struggling to hold on.

After a long while, the nine-headed demon bird suddenly realized: "You are not under an illusion? You are restraining my mind and magic power in this way!"

"No. I got it, but I just don't care. In my life, I only follow the Tao and myself."

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. The old nun had a calm expression and peace in her eyes, but this peace was not heartwarming. On the contrary, it revealed a cold breath that made people think of a word: heartless!
Cut off from heaven and earth, cut off from people and oneself, cut off from emotion and righteousness, the sword of extinction is released and stabbed again!
"In my heart, the relationship between me and my two sworn brothers has only been that of brother and sister, nothing else. You used your illusion on the wrong opponent."

Mie Hongzi's Pojun flying sword slashed out quickly, and combined with Lu Cheng's sword power, it blocked the escape route of the ghost car.

The Ghost Chariot is a flying demon species. Its flying skills are so advanced that even Lu Cheng's sword light cannot kill all of its life in a short period of time.

After the addition of the sword light of Mie Hongzi's Pojun Flying Sword, the Ghost Chariot's room for flying and maneuvering became increasingly reduced.

But it was at this time, in the Central Plains, inside the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace, the Temple of Heaven, in the center.

True Lord Qingxuan, who was sitting on the altar, was suddenly startled. In the dark, he seemed to sense a pair of huge, dim yellow eyes looking at him.

“…Is this a warning from heaven?!”

"The feeling just now was that the Demon Saint Black Turtle... had already paid attention to this place? However, the blood sacrifice formation was not enough, and the formation could not be activated."

The Great Samsara Gangsha Hezhen Formation that almost covered the entire world required at least nine Yuanying Zhenjun-level blood souls and destiny to be activated:
"Shangui and Wuzhiqi are both late-stage sixth-order demon kings. Each of them counts as the blood, soul and destiny of two Yuanying Zhenjuns. Sheng Boqian of Milian Sect was sacrificed in blood, Zhenjun Gao Hong died in battle, Elder Wei Shanze of Guanghan Palace died in battle, and Elder Jianli of Cangjian Palace rebelled and died under the fist of Lu Cheng of the Western Demon Cult."

Sitting upright on the altar, True Lord Qingxuan kept calculating with his fingers. As the Yishu Taoism was running, he could even see Sheng Boqian, Shangui, and Wuzhiqi being killed by the Xiao sisters, Gao Hong dying in Meng Ji's mouth, and Wei Shanze having his heart ripped open by sharp claws.

"However, after all the calculations, we can only say that the eight Yuanying Zhenjun have been sacrificed. It is too late to send people to hunt down the demon god."

Through contact with cultivators from other realms, True Lord Qingxuan roughly knew the origins of the twenty-four demon gods. Except for Shengyang and Kongji who were no longer involved in this disaster, the Demon Saint Xuangui was the oldest and most experienced among these demon gods, and was also the seventh-level demon saint who was most proficient in the Yishu.

Once it becomes alert, it will soon discover all the plots of the cultivators from the Tongxuan Realm.

Sitting on the altar, True Lord Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then he gave the order: "Qinghong, go and invite Mr. Huo."

Alchemy fanatic Huo Xiu is the only sixth-rank alchemist in the Tongxuan Realm and is skilled in using poison. Therefore, even in this situation, he was not sent out to fight the demon god. He just made pills safely in the core of the formation and provided pills for other Yuanying Zhenjun.

At the invitation of True Lord Qingxuan, alchemy fanatic Huo Xiu put down what he was doing and went there quickly, where he met True Lord Qingxuan with a strange look on his face in the center of the Temple of Heaven.

"Fellow Daoist Huo, I don't know why, or maybe the Demon God's favor has not yet died, a Demon Saint has already noticed our arrangement. With its magical powers, it won't be long before the secrets of the entire formation will be exposed to its eyes."

"Then please activate the formation quickly!"

Although Danchi Huo Xiu was arrogant and conceited, he still treated himself as a junior in front of Baguanjing Qingxuan Zhenjun, who had been the leader of the righteous path for many years, and his words were extremely polite.

"Activate this formation, covering the vast land of the Western Regions and the Southern Wasteland of the Central Plains, and mix the dragon veins' destiny to form the Shenzhou barrier, connecting the lives and destiny of billions of beings below the Nascent Soul level in the formation, so that they will prosper together and suffer together, in order to resist the demon god, but now we still need a Nascent Soul fellow to sacrifice his blood."

"…Zhenjun, what do you mean by this?"

Huo Xiu was suddenly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously took out the flying sword from his sleeve while looking around cautiously.

Gu Qinghong behind him was also shocked. Didn’t his master remind him in advance to plot against Huo Xiu?
With the means used by the master and disciple, there is a very high chance of success in plotting against Huo Xiu, a Ghost Infant True Lord who is only good at refining pills.

“I originally wanted to sacrifice Brother Huo with blood to complete the formation. Once this formation is completed, it can buy another thousand years for the sentient beings in Tongxuan World. However, once Brother Huo dies, will Tongxuan World still have time to train another sixth-level alchemist in the next thousand years?
On the contrary, the old Taoist has a good way of teaching his disciples. My Qinghong is ready to inherit my mantle."

"Master, please don't! I haven't learned the Book of Changes well yet. This world will still need your guidance for the next thousand years!"

Gu Qinghong suddenly understood the whole story, rushed over and hugged her master, shaking her head and refusing to let the old Taoist kill her.

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan Zhenjun smiled and gently stroked the hair of his most beloved disciple with his palm:
"Qinghong, your master asked you to marry that shameless Taoist Master Sheng. Do you hate your master?"

"No, Qinghong doesn't hate me. Qinghong knows that Master only wants to gain access to the Mysterious Realm."

"Actually, it's better to hate you a little. What worries me most about you is that you are too sensible. Fortunately, you are sensible enough." At this moment, True Lord Qingxuan slapped the platform under him, and the Fenguan Zhanxuan sword beside him suddenly flew up, and then with a flash of cold light, the sword beheaded the Taoist.

After the flying sword passed, not even a drop of blood flowed out. Instead, all of Zhenjun's magical power turned into wisps of blood mist, rushing straight into the sky and merging into the formation.

"When I was young, I followed my uncle around the countryside to do divination and fortune-telling. I grew up eating rice from hundreds of households. I often heard my uncle say: In troubled times, Bodhisattvas do not come to the world, but old Taoist priests carry swords to save the people.

I am a Taoist practitioner. I believe that if I cultivate my true nature, my true spirit will not be extinguished, and I will be reincarnated and walk the path of Taoism again. As long as I cultivate my nature life after life, I will be able to become an immortal one day. So, silly disciple, stop crying, you should be happy for your master. "
