Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 353: The Secret of the Demonic Palace, a Chance for Great Prosperity

The nail-head arrow book defeated Huang Longzi, the first Nascent Soul cultivator in Tongxuan for thousands of years. He secretly defeated and killed two Nascent Soul cultivators, one of whom was defeated and the other was killed. His record was amazing.

Taoist Xu grabbed a Yuanying in one hand and swallowed it like a pill.

Immediately afterwards, its entire body expanded violently as if blown, and purple scales appeared on its body. Purple and black veins like a giant python were wrapped around its arms and neck. They squirmed under the scales, and it seemed that they would break out at any time.

There was a sudden bulge on the forehead, and three pitch-black horns were like sharp swords, with cold light flashing at the tips.

"Such abundant mana and vitality. This is just the Nascent Soul of a Tongxuan Realm cultivator. It is more nourishing than swallowing the Nascent Souls of three or five cultivators outside!

It will take some time to completely refine this Nascent Soul..."

Thinking of this, Taoist Xu slapped his waist, and a purple light flew out, which swelled in the wind and finally turned into a huge purple python as big as a mountain, with three pairs of purple wings growing on its ribs.

His natal spirit beast, the six-winged purple python, is brutal and bloodthirsty by nature. As long as it can devour enough flesh and blood of cultivators, it can grow and advance rapidly. However, it was on the verge of extinction in ancient times and is rarely seen in the world.

"I give you this body as a reward. Help me resist that Taoist for a while. If you can eat him directly, that's up to you."

As he spoke, Taoist Xu threw the physical body of True Lord Xuancheng of the Yujing Sect into the mouth of a six-winged purple python that was as big as a hill, and the python swallowed it directly.

"You three, help Zimang to stop the Taoist from Lucheng. I will be there in a cup of tea. Yunxian will stay to protect me."

"Yes, Master."

The four beauties with painted skins all bowed down, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

As for the escaped Lingxiao Zhenjun, Taoist Xu was not worried that he would come back.

The word "She" in the Five Yin Soul-Capture refers to the art of capturing the mind, which can magnify every evil thought in the cultivator's mind. Once hit by this technique, the meridians will be damaged and it is impossible to resolve it in a short period of time.

What's more, his refining can be ended at any time. At this moment, he is just choosing to maximize his benefits, not to be in a state of weakness.

Lu Cheng, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue were rushing towards the direction of the spiritual energy column.

I watched helplessly as a huge six-winged purple python as big as a mountain flapped its wings and flew towards me. It opened its mouth towards the sky and spewed out a red poisonous mist.

"Stand behind me."

Lu Cheng whispered this, and the Xiao sisters quickly activated their own escape lights and landed behind their husbands.

In an instant, Lu Cheng drew his sword from its sheath, and the body of the Netherworld Flying Sword glowed with a faint blue light, as if it could sever the boundary between life and death. Combined with Lu Cheng's magic swordsmanship, the continuous sword light spread and killed, using the sword energy to cut through the poisonous fog and create a safe space.

For a sword expert, the power of killing is the ability to protect the body. Once the sword is unsheathed, most attacks in the world can be blocked outside the sword.

"Hahahaha! Fellow Daoist Lu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have both been killed by me!"

Out of the purple mist flew a humanoid demon that was about ten feet tall, with a body covered with scales and barbs, sharp horns on its forehead, and purple-red eyes.

It held two heads in its hands, one was Taoist Huanglongzi's, and the other was Miehongzi's.

It was thrown into the air and flew towards Lu Cheng and the Xiao sisters.

But at this time, fire flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes. He did not actively perform this technique, but his fire pupils and golden eyes were naturally stimulated when he encountered an illusion.

Under his fiery golden eyes, Lu Cheng could see three flying human skin scrolls standing in front of him. The scroll on the higher one threw the other two scrolls towards him, and at the same time, an inexplicable fluctuation was emanating from their bodies.

"What a powerful mind control technique. The higher the Tao, the higher the demon. Once a cultivator is subjected to this technique, his inner demons will grow and his spirit will be disturbed. Even a single point of inner demon will quickly increase to 100% until it damages his physical body."

At this moment, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue behind Lu Cheng have been affected. They are concerned about their father. Even though they use the power of Tao to control themselves, the demons in their hearts are growing wildly. Lust, fear, and all kinds of evil thoughts, once aroused, all five yin will burn and burn their bodies.

However, Lu Cheng's Taoist body and Dharma eyes are the nemesis of this Five Yin Soul-Captivating Technique.

Lu Cheng injected the Samadhi True Fire in his body into his Dharma Eyes. Whoosh, the three scrolls he was staring at suddenly caught fire out of thin air. The True Fire shattered the illusion, destroying all the magic and illusions in an instant.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The three human-skin scrolls all screamed and flew back.

They are surrounded by ghost barriers and ghost fog, which are gathered by the mysterious yin energy between heaven and earth. It not only nourishes their spirituality so that they can exist in the world for a long time even without a physical body, but also makes them almost immortal.

Unless Lu Cheng is willing to consume the Samadhi True Fire to refine the Xuanyin True Water, even if he uses a flying sword to cut it, it will not be able to be cut through with just one or two swords.

The real culprit hasn't appeared yet, so Lu Cheng certainly doesn't want to consume his innate magical power, the Samadhi True Fire. Lu Cheng's Samadhi True Fire might even burn a Yuanshen cultivator. When his magic power accumulates more powerfully and he cultivates the Samadhi True Fire to a purer level, it will become a natural seventh-rank offensive magic treasure.

"Roar."

A giant purple python with six flapping wings suddenly flew out from the poisonous fog and bit violently.

"Husband!"

The Five Yin Soul-Captivating Technique was broken, and the Xiao sisters' fighting reactions were not slow at all. Xiao Yuxue was fine, but Xiao Yuhong was a genius of the Demon Sect who was almost on par with Lu Cheng back then. Although she was only on par with Lu Cheng at that level for a while, if she was given time to practice slowly, Xiao Yuhong herself would have a good chance of refining her Nascent Soul.

At this time, the two sisters simultaneously sacrificed two sixth-level puppets, one was a sixth-level lower-grade Destruction Heavenly Lord, and the other was a sixth-level middle-grade Nether Demon puppet.

However, the six-winged purple python is an ancient beast that has reached the same level of cultivation as its master, Taoist Xu. If it goes berserk, two sixth-level puppets will not be able to stop it.

With two loud bangs, he was knocked away by the impact.

It flapped its wings and flew in front of Lu Cheng, swallowing him in one gulp. However, it bit the Taoist priest so hard that golden light flew all over the sky:

The golden silkworm Gu, which contains hundreds of poisons, gathers together and changes into a human shape.

"Do you really think you are the only ones who can perform the art of transformation?"

Lu Cheng's figure appeared in the sky above the six-winged purple python. On the right side behind him, a long banner flew out at some point. On the banner, there was a dark red ball of mixed air swirling around. It was the magic weapon, the Samsara Banner, which was constantly improving to the sixth-grade upper grade.

The divinity of Chijun is integrated with this treasure. As long as all living beings in the Tongxuan Realm still believe in the faith of Chijun, this treasure will continue to be sacrificed and refined.

For ten thousand years, Lu Cheng has been the cultivator with the best compatibility between the immortal and divine paths in the entire Tongxuan Realm. He practices immortality as the main path and divine paths as the auxiliary path. Although he has been granted a title, he practices with the physical body and is not bound by the rules of the divine path.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cheng had already punched the six-winged purple python hard on the head.

The force was so great and the punch was so condensed that the six-winged purple python felt as if a mountain had fallen on its head, or as if an awl had drilled into it violently.

"Roar……"

"The master's spirit beast!"

The three human-skin scrolls all wanted to help, but at this moment, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue's demon-refining divine light had already enveloped them.

Lu Cheng's praise was not false. Although the Xiao sisters only had Nascent Soul level magic power, the power they used to control the Demon Refining Pagoda was almost as powerful as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator's full-strength attack. Of course, their use was not as flexible, but it had a strong restraining effect on demon cultivators and devil cultivators.

So just the Demon Refining Divine Light was able to restrain the three human skin scrolls, causing them to change their body movements frequently but unable to support the six-winged purple python.

"Roar……"

The six-winged purple python cried out in grief at this moment. It had a strong body, extremely terrifying poison, and powerful flying ability, but all of this was meaningless in front of Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng and the Netherworld Flying Sword, as if two independent yet unified existences, continuously attacked the six-winged purple python from different angles. The Netherworld Flying Sword was naturally not afraid of the strength of the flesh and the poison.

Lu Cheng is protected by the power of Samadhi True Fire, which is also the most powerful force to neutralize poisons. There is nothing in this world that cannot be burned.

He performed mysterious footwork and continuously used the Five Directions Five Elements Fist.

Lu Cheng's body kept flashing with blue, red, white, yellow and black light, which made his fist power constantly gather and pull the five elements of vitality between heaven and earth. The fist power was superimposed. In fact, Lu Cheng's footwork and boxing skills were in line with the rules of the five elements, but a six-winged purple python could not break through it at once. It flapped its wings frantically, bit and spit out poisonous gas, but it kept missing.

The first punch is earth, the second punch is gold, the third punch is water, the fourth punch is wood, and the fifth punch is fire!
Earth produces metal, metal produces water, water produces wood, and wood produces fire!
The last heavy punch of the Five Directions Five Elements Fist seemed to have broken through some kind of spatial boundary. Lu Cheng did not strike at the six-winged purple python, but instead made a fake strike downwards.

Above the head of the six-winged purple python, five-colored energy gathered like a cloud, and then suddenly turned into a giant white jade hand that covered and grabbed down.

Every inch of the skin on this palm is delicate and moist, yet it naturally carries an incomparable sense of power. The power of Taoism surrounds the big hand as big as a mountain, and seems to be combined with the laws of life and death.

"Hoohoo!"

With his palms clenched tightly, the body of the ancient beast, the six-winged purple python, shattered instantly.

In a brilliant golden light, the entire purple python suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It was at this moment that Lu Cheng suddenly turned around and looked behind Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue. A tall, scaly, horned ancient demon appeared behind the two women and swung out with a claw.

At the same time, Taoist Xu, who had already refined his Nascent Soul and made great progress in his magic power, looked at Taoist Lu Cheng with fear in his eyes.

The True Demon Saint Body that he cultivated was good at hiding and attacking.

But just when his natal beast disappeared in a dark golden glow, Taoist Xu found that his spiritual contract with his natal beast had disappeared. Normally, he should have suffered a lot of internal injuries, but he didn't. It was as if he had never signed a contract to train a six-winged purple python that had been promoted to the sixth level. This kind of power was beyond his cognition.

It's just that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

What's more, the other party has already discovered him. Killing those two female cultivators with low magic power but controlling a magic refining treasure can not only reduce the threat of the magic refining treasure, but also cause great mental damage to the other party. The power of the Five Yin Soul Capture Technique can be greatly enhanced.

At the same time, in the direction of Mie Hongzi, she was still entangled with the human skin scroll of Ghost Barrier and Ghost Fog. Mie Hongzi had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and had not cultivated the magical power of Dharma Eyes. At that time, he was trapped in a love tribulation and had magic power but found it difficult to comprehend the superior sword intent.

Therefore, although Mie Hongzi's magic power was far higher than that of the human skin scroll, he was unable to kill the opponent. Instead, he was entangled by the opponent and his mind was exhausted.

No matter how radical and extreme Mie Hongzi was, he would not be willing to die together with a human skin scroll, so he could only wield his sword energy within the ghost barrier. Wherever the sword light passed, it destroyed mountains and split rocks, but in the end he could not kill the ghosts and monsters.

Just when the human skin scroll was feeling proud and thought that it could have made great contributions to its master and receive some preferential treatment in the days to come.

Suddenly, a devilish hand came up silently from behind him and pressed on the back of the human skin scroll.

Whoosh, the devil flame burned, and in just a moment, the human skin scroll was burned to ashes.

"Humph."

Taoist Xu, who was hundreds of miles away, groaned. Knowing that one of his human skin scrolls was destroyed, he burst out with even more strength and attacked the Xiao sisters.

He or it's body was cracked with blood lines, and the dark devil's blood splashed, which could defile the soul and turn magic weapons into demons. Although it was difficult to defile a magic weapon like the Demon-Slaying Pagoda, which was originally designed with extremely strong demon-slaying properties, ordinary magic weapons would be turned into demon treasures in an instant under the filth of his devil's blood.

This was the case with the Xiao sisters' Destruction Lord and the Nether Demon Puppet. They stepped forward to resist, but were tainted by the demon blood in an instant and turned to attack their original masters, the Xiao sisters.

At this time, Lu Cheng was still some distance away from Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue. No matter whether it was the Netherworld Flying Sword or his own escape technique, it was impossible for them to arrive in time to block the attack for his two Taoist companions.

However, Lu Cheng was not alarmed because he had already made preparations, just as Master Xu would almost certainly attack the Xiao sisters who were strong in attack but weak in defense.

How could a battle-hardened cultivator like Lu Cheng not make some secret arrangements around the Xiao sisters in advance?
If Lu Cheng was willing to use the Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Method at this time, and use his life to exchange for another's, he could use the ancient Flame Dragon's true blood to push the Fire Absolute Escape to its limit and forcibly take on Master Xu's attack. But that would mean the loss of a life, and he would have to spend decades of hard work to condense his blood essence again in the future, but that was not necessary now.

As Lu Cheng pointed his sword from afar, just before the sharp claws of Master Xu's ancient demon body almost touched the Xiao sisters.

A sword light as bright as crystal glass suddenly appeared in front of Master Xu out of nowhere, as if it had been waiting here for a long time.

A sword of profound power!
The sword light on the invisible sword suddenly became brighter. Lu Cheng's sword was a sword of the mysterious kind. Since the fight was still short, both the inner and outer swords were far from reaching their peak strength.

Lu Cheng could even use the ultimate Tongxuan sword to kill a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Tu Hanyun, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage of the Milian Sect, died from this sword.

At this moment, although the Tongxuan sword was not perfected, Taoist Xu was not a great cultivator and his defense was far from enough.

Clang.

Between heaven and earth, a platinum-colored sword rainbow suddenly appeared, tearing through the sky and splitting the clouds, as if it was going to cut through everything in one slash.

At this time, Master Xu's claws were only half an inch away from Xiao Yuxue, but at this moment he could only retreat, retreat quickly, and fall back. If he didn't retreat, he would die.

The sword of Tongxuan is so powerful that its sword energy is all-conquering and invincible. It is the number one sword technique in the world and the supreme divine sword.

"Ah..."

"How can it be so sharp? How can it be so heavy? My demonic body, my true demonic body! Five Yin Painted Skin, a substitute for the robbery!"

In an instant, Taoist Xu and his life-saving magic weapon, the Five Yin Painted Skin, switched places.

It was just that, firstly, one of the Five Yin Painted Skins had been broken, and secondly, the Tongxuan Sword had the power to kill spiritual consciousness. Therefore, although Taoist Xu avoided certain death by switching places with his natal magic weapon, his entire upper body still shared some of the sword's force, and the whole body exploded, leaving only one third of it.

If he was just an ordinary cultivator, even a True Lord Yuanying would have died.

As for the Five Yin Painted Skin, it has been reduced to ashes.

However, in the destructive sword light, the four peerless beauties that emerged, including Xiu Yunxian, did not have any fear in their eyes, only deep feelings of relief and gratitude.

With a swish, the sword flashed, the magic treasure disappeared, and along with it, the wisps of fragrant soul also disappeared.

"Alright, alright! Such a magic sword, such a cultivation, and that thing I can't even figure out the origin of... Fellow Daoist Lu Cheng, you wait for me. I will return to my sect, gather all the demons, and then I will give your Heaven and Earth Demon Palace a good beating!"

Taoist Xu's hatred reached its peak at this moment, but he laughed in anger instead, looking ferocious and crazy.

At this moment, his remaining body was rapidly healing and repairing itself. At the same time, a talisman in his hand had been activated, glowing with spiritual light. It was obviously a life-saving treasure of extremely high grade.

At the same time, Taoist Xu was certain that after Lu Cheng had just swung the sword, he would never be able to swung a sword with the same power again.

Therefore, he dared to activate the talisman and utter the harsh words at the same time.

When Lu Cheng saw this scene and heard these words, he mobilized the blood and essence in his body. He had originally planned to consume the blood and essence of the ancient fire dragon and use the Fire Escape Technique to kill it in one fell swoop.

But suddenly, he froze.

At the same time, Taoist Xu discovered that the expressions of the Xiao sisters had also changed slightly.

"not good!"

Just as this thought flashed through Taoist Xu's mind, a hand containing the Earth Fire Corpse Poison silently pressed on his vest, shattering all his magic power.

"Where are you going, fellow Daoist? If I let you leave like this, wouldn't it make our respected master think that the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace is not polite enough?"

The Great Capture of Heavenly Corpses is an ancient sixth-order magic technique that Taoist Huang Longzi found after he broke through and wiped out the Dongyang Orthodox Church. It gathers the energy of earth and fire corpses and integrates it into his own body. It is extremely difficult to practice, but extremely powerful.

At least, at this moment, all of Taoist Xu's evil spirit was filled and suppressed by the powerful and majestic earth, fire and corpse energy, making it difficult for him to move, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

"...Huang Longzi, how is it possible? Your soul was clearly shattered by my...my nail-headed arrow book!"

"Hahahaha, there are countless extraordinary achievements and skills in the world of immortal cultivation. Fellow Daoist, you are too conceited about your own methods. Today you have learned a lesson."

Taoist Huang Longzi stroked his beard and laughed, then looked at Lu Cheng, who also nodded slightly.

The highest Taoism in the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace: the highest secret of the transformation and ascension technique is to exchange life for life and to avoid death.

This secret was kept secret in the entire Heaven and Earth Demon Palace except for Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng. Even Madam Baoxiang and the Xiao sisters only thought that their husbands were practicing both magic and body, and were very good at refining the body, cultivating themselves and protecting the Tao, but they did not really know the key.

Therefore, this secret is the highest Taoist secret of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace. Whoever can practice the transformation and ascension technique to the level of Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng can know it.

But at that time they would not spread the news to the outside, so as to alert the enemies of the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace.

Before, Taoist Xu shot Huang Longzi with an arrow, and Huang Longzi was really dead, but his Xuanmen True Spirit Transformation General Principles were activated, extracting the true spirit essence from the cultivator's body, exchanging his life for his own, and thus saving him from death.

So in the next moment, Huang Longzi came back to life, but he used the power of the Heavenly Corpse to conceal his own life. In addition, he was really cursed to death the moment before, so Taoist Xu naturally did not notice anything unusual.

Afterwards, Master Xu's spiritual sense gave him a warning, and he was forced to retreat by Mie Hongzi's secret technique of "Sword Destroying Nascent Soul". In fact, a small part of him was really afraid of Mie Hongzi's sharp sword energy, but a large part of him sensed the hidden threat of Huang Longzi.

If I had dared to take action at that time, there was a high possibility that I would have been seriously injured or lost several precious painted skins of beauties.

Huang Longzi has been in power for thousands of years and has a very ruthless character. He raised his hand to kill Master Xu, but Lu Cheng stepped forward and blocked his hand.

"Master, this person's origins are unknown, and his roots are deep, so he cannot be killed easily."

"What should I do?"

Huang Longzi frowned slightly, but he asked this because he trusted his disciple very much.

Lu Cheng did not answer, but turned and looked at Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue.

"...Yes, Yuhong, Yuxue, use the Demon Suppression Tower to suppress this beast. We can spare some time to deal with him properly."

Taoist Xu must have some sensing magic such as soul lamp and spirit tablet. If he were to be killed here, his master would know immediately and quickly investigate to the Tongxuan Realm.

On the contrary, first suppress Taoist Xu with the Demon Refining Pagoda, and after one or two hundred years, when the incident has died down, kill him in any of the seven realms. The monks from the sect behind Taoist Xu will not be able to find the Tongxuan Realm even if they follow the guidance of the soul lamp.

After a cup of tea, Huang Longzi returned to Mie Hongzi's side and saw the nun sitting cross-legged, practicing magic to recover her energy. He frowned slightly and said:
"Don't continue practicing your sword-destroying Nascent Soul Technique. It's harmful and not helpful, and it's not the way to immortality. When you are in the best condition, this technique will be most powerful. After that, every time your sharp sword energy decreases, the power of this technique will decrease by three points. It's not a pity to discard such a secret technique that is useless. Don't think about it anymore."

Mie Hongzi opened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at Huang Longzi but did not respond. Seeing this, Huang Longzi just sighed.

After this battle, the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace, the Eight Views, the Cangjian Palace, the Yujing Sect, and other sects jointly issued a statement that they had eliminated the demon cultivators who were wreaking havoc in this world.

At the same time, the Eight Views and Cangjian Palace jointly agreed to promote the Yujing Sect to the list of the eight orthodox religions in the world, and the Tiandi Demon Palace also presented congratulatory gifts.

According to Shi Sheng, a disciple of Lu Cheng who went to watch the ceremony, after returning, Ling Xiao Zhenjun of the Yujing School had a head full of white hair and his aura was pure and upright.

"If the heart is not dead, the Tao will not live. The Yujing Sect has ushered in an opportunity for great prosperity."

In the Heaven and Earth Demon Palace, Lu Cheng said this to his disciples.
