Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 325: Unifying the Demonic Path, the Two Demons of Heaven and Earth (Please subscribe!)
Night, Changle Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

The pavilions and towers at the core of the palace were all occupied by the true masters of the Tongxuan world. Even the Li royal family could only tremble in fear and obey orders at this time.

As dusk fell and the lights came on, two Taoists sat opposite each other in a pavilion deep in the palace, playing chess.

Outside the pavilion, ancient cypresses towered to the sky, and the wind blew through the pine trees. The stone bridge corridor was brightly lit.

The corridors are winding, the eaves are flying, and the quaint lanterns emit soft light, reflecting the contemplative faces of the master and apprentice.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces are intertwined, like a silent battle, quietly unfolding in this quiet night.

"The Demon God's Great Tribulation has been postponed for a thousand years. Cheng'er, what do you think we should do next?"

"…First destroy the Dongyang Orthodox Sect, then break the Beichen Sword Sect, the four essentials of cultivation, Dharma, wealth, companions and land, and destroy these two great demonic sects. The resources we gain will be enough for us to cultivate the Tao and even continue our sect. As for what will happen in the future, that is not something we should consider at this moment.

I think there will be successors.”

Lu Cheng stared at the chessboard in front of him with great concentration, as if every move he made had been deduced thousands of times. He looked back and forth, and made no mistakes.

Taoist Huang Longzi was relaxed and at ease, with his eyes slightly smiling. The chess piece in his hand fell lightly, bringing with it a carefree and leisurely atmosphere.

"Unifying the demonic world is already a great achievement. Besides attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven, what else can you and I, master and disciple, pursue?"

Occasionally, light footsteps could be heard in the alley nearby; those were the disciples from various sects carrying out their night patrol duties.

The world is filled with demons and monsters right now, so this is necessary.

They whispered to each other, as if afraid to disturb the chess game in the pavilion.

True Lord Qingxuan used his own death to open up the Great Wheel of Samsara Gangsha Hezhen Formation, delaying the calamity of the demon god for a thousand years.

At the same time, before this, the Eight Landscapes had already established connections with the Dingzhang, Tongtian, Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, and Yinyang realms occupied by human cultivators.

With the Great Wheel of Samsara Gangsha Hezhen formation together, Tongxuan World will be a new fertile ground for cultivators from all walks of life to gather: before that, clean the house before welcoming the guests.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible fluctuation of magical power emerged not far away. Lu Cheng frowned slightly, while Taoist Huang Longzi raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

A moment later, a Taoist priest in tattered robe, unkempt and with some strange poisonous patterns on his cheeks walked out from the shadows. He was the alchemy maniac Huo Xiu, and he didn't know why he came here.

"Friend Huo."

"Friend Huo, how are you?"

When Lu Cheng and Huang Longzi saw this person, they both spoke politely.

"Huo Xiu pays respect to the Demon Lord and the Supreme Elder. I came here this time to submit to him."

Huo Xiu was a person who could not stand red tape, so after making up his mind, he came here and said this directly.

"Hahahaha, it is a great honor for our sect that Fellow Daoist Huo is willing to join our Tiandi Demon Sect. But, can I know why?" Huang Longzi asked.

Because this kind of thing is contrary to Huo Xiu's past temperament and behavior. With his talent in alchemy, if he was willing to rely on any force in the past, almost no sect would refuse him. So why drag it on until today?

It is because of my dislike of rules that I have always been a loner.

“A few days ago, True Lord Qingxuan actually called me to his seat and explained to me that a Nascent Soul cultivator would be needed as a blood sacrifice to activate the formation.

I have been obsessed with alchemy all my life and am not good at fighting. Although I have several methods to protect myself, with the magical powers of True Lord Qingxuan, killing me is as easy as killing a chicken. I have no ability to escape.

But True Lord Qingxuan told me that he was afraid that after killing me, this world would not be able to cultivate another sixth-rank alchemist in a thousand years, and then he died in front of me... Huo Xiu has lived a life of loyalty to others, but I feel that I owe True Lord Qingxuan a life. The True Lord's last will was to protect the people of this world. Huo Xiu looked through all the religions and sects in the world, and felt that only two True Lords had such talent and destiny.

Of course, if Huo Xiu finds out that the two True Lords have failed the world in the future, he will leave.”

Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng looked at each other after hearing this, and then they both stepped forward to greet him.

With Huo Xiu's talent, it's hard to say whether he can become a seventh-rank alchemist, but he has a great chance of becoming a sixth-rank high-quality alchemist. He became a sixth-rank alchemist when he was isolated inside and outside the Tongxuan Realm and had only the cultivation level of a Golden Core True Person. It's not an exaggeration to call him a genius.

Seven days later, Lu Cheng and his disciple Huang Longzi went to the Dongyang Orthodox Church headquarters together, leading the Tiandi Demon Sect's group of practitioners to plunder the treasure house and occupy Lingshan.

At the same time, Huang Longzi's arrangement was even more radical than Lu Cheng's. He planned to destroy Dongyang Orthodox Sect first and then break Beichen Sword Gate. He sent Madam Baoxiang, the Xiao sisters and his own disciples to lead the elite of Tiandi Demon Sect to Beichen Sword Gate first. As for Dongyang Orthodox Sect, the master and his disciple, both Yuanying Zhenjun, would be in charge and lead the ordinary followers of Tiandi Demon Sect to cheer.

"Third Brother, I swore with my life that after I achieve Nascent Soul cultivation, I will never take the initiative to attack the Eight Orthodox Sects. This battle to unify the demonic path should be my last battle in this world. However, who can say that this is not a great cause for generations to come?"

Two Taoists were flying high in the sky, looking down at the rolling mountains.

The Eastern Dongyang Orthodox Sect was the foremost demonic sect in the Tongxuan Realm and had existed for over a thousand years. Taoist Huang Longzi was obviously very excited that he could destroy it with his own hands today.

What Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng could think of, the eight orthodox religions of Tongxuan Realm could not think of?
Of course not, it’s just that the eight orthodox religions do not pay as much attention to Dongyang Orthodoxy and Beichen Sword Sect as they do to Tiandi Demon Sect.

On the other hand, the killing calamity between heaven and earth had just passed, and except for Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng, most of the orthodox True Lords wanted to recuperate and cultivate their magic power.

The Tongxuan world has established connections with the seven major worlds of Dingzhang, Tongtian, Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, and Yinyang. As time goes by, this world will undoubtedly enter a period of rapid development in the next few hundred years. Taoist books, magic weapons, talismans, flying swords and spirit beasts, the interaction between the worlds will surely bring gains. Most of the orthodox true masters do not want to encounter any more twists and turns.

In the Eastern Region, there was originally no sixth-order formation in the Tongxuan World, and the Great Samsara Gangsha Hezhen Formation was the first one.

The original fifth-level mountain protection formation within the Dongyang Orthodox Church was sufficient to protect the sect and preach the teachings when presided over by a Jindan Zhenren.

But it could not withstand the destruction of Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng, especially the current Lord of the Demon Palace, Yang Tianshu, who plotted against the Demon Boy. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Demon Palace fled away, having already torn the Eastern Demon Kingdom to pieces.

At this time, no one could stop Huang Longzi, Lu Cheng and the members of the Tiandi Demon Cult. Wherever their troops went, no one was able to stop them.

In the future, even if Yang Tianshu or the Demon Boy comes back, they will have to rely on magical powers to make this master and disciple spit out the fat they have swallowed.

During the process, Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng were more concerned about the progress of Beichen Jianmen, although there were more elites gathered there:

Madam Baoxiang, the Xiao sisters, the alchemy fanatic Huo Xiu, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er mother and daughter, and all of Huang Longzi's disciples. However, these people are somewhat inexperienced in killing and only rely on their magical advantage, which is like a rock crushing a turtle.

Fortunately, Beichen Jianmen has not had the tradition of setting up formations for thousands of years. Although there have been some changes in recent years, the foundation is still very shallow.

On this day, when a group of cultivators from the Heaven and Earth Demon Sect, led by Lu Cheng's eldest disciple Situ Hua, were felling a mountain and breaking a formation, black smoke suddenly rose up from deep in the earth, instantly burning and boiling the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Demon Sect who were caught in it.

After a few screams, it completely melted away.

Even Situ Hua immediately summoned his own magical weapon and turned into ghost mist to escape, only then was he able to save his life.

"Who dares to come to the Demon Country to cause trouble and trespass into the forbidden area?"

Two rays of light, one black and one white, suddenly shot up into the sky. When the light faded, an old woman with black hair and white robe, and an old man with white hair and black robe appeared.

"The two demons of heaven and earth? I didn't expect that you two are still alive and your souls have not been devoured by the Heavenly Demon Palace!"

Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng, who were originally playing chess in a pavilion in the distant mountains, suddenly turned into rainbows and arrived.

The master and his disciple confronted the two long-famous demons of heaven and earth.

At the same time, Huang Longzi secretly sent a message to Lu Cheng:
“Cheng’er, these two demons of heaven and earth were cultivators who dominated the world in the era before me. It seems that they reached some kind of agreement with the demon boy. They didn’t have their souls devoured, but instead cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. You have to be careful. In my era, many elders of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace died at their hands.”

"The two demons of heaven and earth?"

Looking at the two old demons in front of him with strong demonic energy around them, the rumors about these two old demons also emerged in Lu Cheng's mind.

It is said that this pair of demons were an inseparable couple in their youth.

The man is handsome and heroic, and the woman is charming and elegant. If they are bound by the law and rules, they will be a perfect match.

But in the devil's way, there were a bunch of sluts, lowly maids, despicable thieves, and the two demons of heaven and earth had nothing to defend against each other in such an environment, so they separated and reunited.

However, after a period of time, the two sides could not leave each other, so they killed all the adulterers and adulteresses they had made friends with during this period, and this cycle continued.

Of course, compared to these things, what really allowed the two demons of heaven and earth to dominate the Tongxuan Realm was the magical power of the two of them working together. Either of them was just an ordinary master individually, but once they joined forces, they repeatedly had terrifying records of challenging and killing enemy cultivators of higher levels.

When the two of them divorced and then each found a new lover to provoke the other, neither the righteous nor the evil had any taboos. Afterwards, the two of them reconciled and killed all those people. After repeating this several times, both the righteous and evil forces joined forces to hunt them down, but they were repeatedly counterattacked and killed by the two of them. The name of the Twin Demons of Heaven and Earth came out during that period.

Later, the two of them formed the magic golden elixir and returned to the Eastern Demon Kingdom to avoid the forty-nine calamities. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the world thought that the two of them either died of old age or died under the forty-nine calamities. No one thought that the two of them actually hid here and had already cultivated into Nascent Souls at some point in time.

"Master, be careful and try to separate the two of them."

"it is good!"

Although the two demons of heaven and earth have been famous for a long time, with Huang Longzi's current level of cultivation and magical power, he would certainly not feel afraid if he met them. He would only be happy that he could fight against the senior cultivators whom he looked up to when he was young.

The two demons of heaven and earth have not appeared in the world for a long time. At this time, they are still confused as to why no monks of their sect have risen up to attack these two people even though they are in the Eastern Demon Kingdom, and even let them enter the forbidden area.

Huang Longzi had already used his magic power to summon his natal flying sword and took the first step.

Clang.

The flying sword screamed and combined with Huang Longzi's powerful magic power, it turned into a huge golden dragon claw, suddenly descending from the sky.

He is domineering and has terrifying claw power.

The Jade Dragon Sword Technique is about mimicry, but what Huang Longzi mimics is not any kind of real dragon or phoenix in the world, but the claw of the ancient supreme golden dragon that he pursues, worthy of the name Cloud Dragon Claw.

Although the two demons of heaven and earth were not yet clear about the current situation, they still reacted quickly when faced with the pressure of the huge golden dragon claw.

The old woman of the Earth Demon had a ferocious face, and held out a black magic banner in her hand. When the banner was unfurled, black air rushed into the sky. The old man of the Sky Demon had a solemn and majestic look, and held out a flying sword. The sword light was like a rainbow, and the changes were like painted talismans, gathering the light of the sun, moon and stars. One yin and one yang, the aura blended, and then spread, forming a strong sense of oppression.

"Good and evil merge, heaven and earth merge. It seems that these two demons have learned a lot from their lovers and mistresses, and integrated them into their own Taoism, which is why they have such magical powers."

Clang.

While Lu Cheng was thinking about this, the flying sword controlled by the Heavenly Demon shot up into the sky and clashed with the descending golden dragon claw. The sound of the sword spread and the sword energy collided with each other.

The Jade Dragon Sword Technique, which was designed to use the strong to attack the weak and to suppress the opponent with force, was suppressed in an instant.

Lu Cheng could clearly hear, beside his master Huang Longzi, a series of slight explosions coming from Huang Longzi's body. It was obvious that he was using his own body to dissolve and eliminate the sword force and pressure transmitted from the flying sword.

“So powerful?”

Lu Cheng was watching from the side with his fiery golden eyes, and he could naturally see that after the two demons of heaven and earth merged their qi, their magic power increased several times.

Therefore, although the two demons of heaven and earth have not cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and their magic power is not much deeper than Huang Longzi who practiced both magic and body, the strength of their explosiveness and the tenacity of their magic power are far beyond the reach of their fellow cultivators at the same level.

Originally, Lu Cheng wanted to use one positive and one odd to complement each other, but at this moment he had to sacrifice the Netherworld Flying Sword in advance to make up for the flaw left by Huang Longzi's natal Flying Sword's retreat.

The body of the Netherworld Flying Sword glowed with a faint blue light, as if it could sever the boundary between life and death, and cut straight to the place where the power of the Sky Demon Flying Sword could not reach.

The Earth Demon was not to be outdone. He cast a spell and controlled the Black Demon Banner to stir up gusts of wind, like thousands of ghost soldiers passing through. The Sky Demon's flying sword turned into flames of the scorching sun, burning the void. The two combined to fight against Lu Cheng's Netherworld Flying Sword.

For a moment, the dazzling light contained a deadly murderous intent.

The magic sword and the long banner transformed their qi into each other's and cooperated perfectly. If the Netherworld Flying Sword itself was not equivalent to a Yuanying Zhenjun, and if Lu Cheng's swordsmanship and sword techniques were not exquisite and he could avoid the real and attack the fake, they really would not be able to withstand the surging magic power that kept coming.

"Cheng'er, hold them back, and I will force them to separate."

Huang Longzi had not been forced back by a sword by anyone for many years, and he was really angry. At this moment, he made hand gestures in the air, his body floated gracefully, and he chanted spells. His magic power condensed into golden runes that surrounded his body. For a moment, the sound of dragon roars shook the earth.

"Don't even think about casting spells calmly!"

The old demon woman suddenly shot out several flying nails. There was a blue-black color on them. Although they were not sixth-tier magic weapons, they were obviously poisonous.

The flying nails just flew past, and the figures of the Taoist master and disciple wavered like phantoms and then disappeared.

The magic of the sun, the thousand illusions of yin and yang by the banner of reincarnation.

A moment later, the figures of the Taoist master and his disciple appeared not far away, but this time, the Earth Demon still could not be sure whether they were real.

The space is distorted where the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner stands. Although it does not really distort time and space, it makes no difference to the recipient as it is using the false to cultivate the true.

The flying sword of the underworld brought with it streaks of cold evil that penetrated into people’s bones.

When it comes to fighting tactics, the situations on both sides change rapidly.

With this delay, Taoist Huang Longzi has merged with the golden talismans around him and suddenly transformed into a huge golden dragon, roaring at the sky and earth and attacking the two demons.

The general outline of the transformation of the true spirit of the Palace Xuanmen of Ten Thousand Beasts is ultimately a supreme method of physical cultivation. It requires fierceness and sharpness, as well as close combat, to fully unleash all the power of this Taoist method.

Facing the golden dragon's attack, the Earth Demon did not show weakness either. He held hands in front of him, changed his magic spells, and then opened his mouth and spewed out a blazing black flame, which hit the dragon's mouth. The demon and the dragon flew away together.

This scene seemed like a draw, but in fact, the Twin Demons of Heaven and Earth were defeated. Although the golden dragon was burned by the devil's flames and was constantly damaged, the Twin Demons of Heaven and Earth were forcibly separated.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng controlled the sword light, turned defense into offense, and slashed down more violently.

Clank clang clang clang.

In the fierce battle that shook the heavens and the earth, sword energy spread, the surrounding mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and it seemed as if a giant was running and walking between heaven and earth, causing the heaven and earth to shake.

The sound of the sixth-order flying swords colliding was like thunder rolling in the sky, and the air was filled with the strong impact waves of the vitality of heaven and earth and the smell of burning sword fire.

There were originally no sixth-tier magic weapons in the Tongxuan world, but after a Jindan Zhenren was promoted to the Yuanying stage, he could use his own innate vitality to nourish his innate magic weapon and promote it to the sixth tier. This method does not require a sixth-tier weapon refiner.

Of course, it is better to have one. After all, if a cultivator uses his own vitality to nourish a magic weapon, it will slow down the speed of his own magic power improvement. In the long run, the loss is not small and it may even hinder his path.

The golden dragon transformed by Huang Longzi endured the burning of the devil flames and forced the Earth Demon away from the Sky Demon. Then he suddenly turned into a Taoist priest in a golden light, jumped up with a sword, cut through the devil flames and attacked the old Earth Demon.

Dang dang dang.

After slashing with the sword several times, the sword light was actually blocked by the old demon's claws, and the demon displayed extremely proficient close combat skills.

"Good, good! Back then, a senior in our sect had calculated that the two of you must have transformed yourselves into zombies. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to survive so many attempts to kill. Your magic power and life force are too abnormal. This has been confirmed by me today."

"When I eat you later, you will also be a part of my body."

At the same time, on the other side, Lu Cheng also gradually discovered something unusual. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Tianmo was not as good as Lu Cheng. Without Dimo ​​by his side to stimulate his magic power by combining yin and yang, although he had several magical weapons to protect himself, none of them were at the sixth level, and were cut off one by one by Lu Cheng's sword.

However, the Netherworld Flying Sword's Netherworld Cold Evil attacked people's bone marrow, and Lu Cheng gained some advantages by cutting in from the edges several times. A normal Nascent Soul cultivator would have been affected long ago, but the Sky Demon was not at all abnormal.

Either the other party is a high-level cultivator who practices pure yang magic power, or the other party is no longer a living person.

At the same time, Lu Cheng noticed that the demon was always conscious and approached his hiding place in his physical body.

"You are no longer alive, right?"

“…You guessed it right!”

Upon hearing this, the demon suddenly smiled grimly. The old man with white hair and black robe looked terrifying. Then he combined man and sword and fiercely attacked the place where Lu Cheng was hiding with the Samsara Banner.

After man and sword became one, he engaged in close combat with his physical body which was far stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. This was Lu Cheng's usual method of sword fighting, but today it was used on him.

Lu Cheng's figure merged with the returning Netherworld Flying Sword, and the man and sword became one as they suddenly fled downwards.

When he reached the ground, he had no way to retreat, and was once again pursued and enveloped by the sword of the devil.

I had no choice but to fight back with my sword.

Clank, clank, clank, clank…

In an instant, like iron trees and silver flowers, the lights of the two swords flew and entangled violently, but at this time, Tianmo's sword power was not as strong and powerful as Lu Cheng's sword power.

Without the unity of yin and yang of the Earth Demon, the Sky Demon alone is no match for the combined power of Lu Cheng and the Netherworld Flying Sword.

when.

Just as the flying sword was about to chop him down from below, Tianmo knocked the sword off course with a punch. He then spun rapidly in the air, his arms transformed into countless shadows, and he suddenly swooped down from the sky towards Lu Cheng, with claw shadows filling the sky like a violent storm.

Five Elements Escape Technique, Thick Earth Escape.

In an instant, Lu Cheng escaped from the claws of the demon that was attacking from top to bottom as if he had teleported. The Thick Earth Escape of the Five Elements Escape Technique was extremely limited. It could not match the burst of the Fire Escape or the changes of the Water Illusion Escape. After all, most of the sword fights of high-level cultivators were fought in the air.

But the instant they step on the ground, it's like teleporting, and can be used to turn the situation around in an instant, to reverse life or death in many critical moments.

Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed, and a golden light suddenly appeared under the feet of the old demon. Then, vines flew out and bound him up.

"I transformed myself into a living corpse instead of a zombie. Although I delved into the way of corpses, I still coveted pleasure and was unwilling to give up my life."

The next moment, Lu Cheng swung his fist fiercely. The Five Elements Fist in his hand turned into a hammer shadow that suppressed the sky and slammed down on the body of the old demon.

It caused violent explosions from the inside out.

"Ah."

The demon used all his magical powers to struggle, but the vine that bound him at this moment was also a sixth-level demon with a strong physical body, and it was using all its strength to defeat him.

If it was so easy to break free, it could only mean that the white-clothed tree demon had rebelled.

The next moment, the Netherworld Flying Sword that was knocked away reversed and flew back, piercing through the vest of the demon from behind. The surging Netherworld sword energy spread and strangled his body. Even a zombie would find it difficult to withstand this.

At the same time, on the other side, with the defeat of the Heavenly Demon, the old Earth Demon who was fighting fiercely with Taoist Huang Longzi in the forest suddenly shook, and the battle-hardened Huang Longzi seized the opportunity and pierced her heart with a sword.

But this old demon ignored all responsibility and struggled to escape in the direction of the Heavenly Demon.

Lu Cheng noticed that the dead body of the demon he had killed was healing rapidly.

"Master, its vitality is being reunited. It will be alive soon. What is going on?"

"There are so many magical skills and secrets in the world of immortal cultivation. I never thought that there are magical skills and secrets that can connect life and death together in this world."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed on the sword spine of the Netherworld Flying Sword. The magical powers of the two interacted and exploded in the body of the demon again. This time, the violent sword energy directly blew the body of the demon into pieces.

Retracting the Netherworld Flying Sword, Lu Cheng took out a fifth-level fire talisman, cast a spell to ignite it, and then threw it on the shattered body of the demon. The raging magic fire finally suppressed the self-healing speed of the zombie's body.

In the forest on the other side, a raging magic fire inexplicably burned from the body of the Earth Demon. Huang Longzi saw the clue and controlled his sword to prevent the Earth Demon from getting closer to the Sky Demon. After a stalemate between the two sides, the Earth Demon's life force was exhausted and his body was also burned to ashes by the magic fire.

"Live and die together, two bodies and one life. This Dongyang Orthodox technique is somewhat similar to the Mysterious Jade Soul Transfer Technique that your concubine practices, except that one focuses on the consciousness and soul, while the other focuses on the essence, blood and life force."

After the reunion, Huang Longzi said this.
