Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 422: The reputation of the villain spreads, the battle of returning to the void (please subscribe!)

The fighting in the Misty Sea area of ​​the South China Sea intensifies, and the spiritual objects and treasures brought by the eruption of the underground volcano attract cultivators from all sides to gather and fight for them.

After taking away the seventh-level Mars Heart Bead and the Qiankun bag of the Shadow Clan Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Cheng did not go to the nearby battlefield to try to catch a cicada, because he did not know if there was anyone behind him.

Instead, he chose to conceal his presence and wander around the edge of the battlefield, following the survival rule of "gold horns, silver edges, and grass belly" of the low-level cultivators. He did not rashly go deep into the core area, but waited for an opportunity and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from Taiqing Sect.

Or if he could make sure that no cultivators from the Taiqing Sect would come, he could retreat then.

Gold horns, silver edges, grass belly, this principle changes with the different levels of cultivation of the cultivators. If this were in the mortal world, Lu Cheng would dare to go straight into the core area in most cases to compete for the greatest benefits.

But as a low-level cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the closer you are to the core area, the more dangerous it is. So if you can't leave, it's best to wait for an opportunity in the surrounding areas:

In this regard, ascended monks often have rich experience, far superior to the native monks in the earthly immortal world.

The golden corner here refers to the area where one can hide or have a defensive formation to protect oneself, and the silver edge refers to the fringe area where a certain amount of luck is needed to encounter opportunities.

"I can see the location that fits the Golden Horn Theory, and other cultivators who are proficient in the art of formation can also see it. If we occupy that place, we will become the target of public criticism. It is better to stay away from the Silver Edge. Even if we don't seek opportunities, at least we can reduce the danger."

At this moment, a demon bull from the sixth level peak clan, which Lu Cheng considered, came walking on the waves from a distance.

He has the body of an ox with the head of a bull, thick and sharp horns on both sides of his head, and evil energy of earth is wrapped around his body. Every step he takes creates huge waves hundreds of feet high.

It suddenly roared towards the sky, and the sound waves shattered the protective auras of several human Jindan monks. Then they were trampled into meat paste by the demon beef's transformed body.

One of the top 100 races in the spiritual world, the Sky-Patrolling Demon Bulls are born with strong bodies, can control the gravity of the earth, and are quite powerful.

Just like in the mortal world, cultivators who practice both magic and body, raise powerful spirit beasts, are proficient in swordsmanship, or are proficient in talismans can often gain a combat power boost of one small realm, and this Sky Patrolling Demon Bull has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

On the other side, a demon mantis with huge double-edged blades on its arms and a green body flapped its wings and flew quickly. Its blades seemed to be forged from black iron. With a flash of cold light, it cut three Jindan cultivators in half. Before the blood was spilled, the mantis had already pounced on its next target.

"Foreign cultivators are also here to get involved..." Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes and swept his spiritual sense across the battlefield. He discovered that in addition to human cultivators, there were also blood spirits, shadows, and sirens mixed in within a hundred miles. There were even a few hidden demonic auras lurking under the deep sea, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Lu Cheng did not dare to be careless. The Tianyuan Talisman slowly rotated around his body, ready to deal with any sudden crisis at any time.

The silver edge is lurking, unaware of the oriole behind.

Due to a volcanic eruption in the Wuyin Sea area of ​​the South China Sea, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth has dispersed.

This is an opportunity for many nearby monks, but it is also accompanied by corresponding disasters.

But for Lu Cheng, who already controls the trade between the two worlds, this is not a big opportunity. If it weren't for the coincidence and the pressure of the sect's mission on him, Lu Cheng would even choose to escape and not get involved in this matter.

After all, the opportunities here are nothing compared to the opportunities he has.

With this idea in mind, Lu Cheng is relatively far away from the core area of ​​the Mist Hidden Sea, which greatly reduces his possibility of obtaining spiritual objects from heaven and earth, but also ensures his safety to a greater extent.

Two days later, Lu Cheng was still wandering in the distance. Suddenly, his consciousness moved slightly and he sensed the abnormal fluctuation of spiritual energy three hundred miles to the southeast:
Three human Jindan monks were being besieged by a group of armored sea lizards, and were already in danger.

One of the female cultivators had just cast out a black ice talisman and barely froze two sea lizards, but the remaining three had already pounced in front of her, with their smelly fangs pressing against her throat!
"Well, a disciple of San Sheng Dao Mountain?" Lu Cheng glanced at the Taoist robes on the female cultivator and frowned.

Although he didn't want to cause any trouble, the Taoist robe of this female cultivator reminded him of someone.

When he first entered the spiritual world, if it were not for Chu Mingyun's kindness, his current situation would be unknown. When receiving a favor from someone, one should think about repaying the favor.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Cheng flicked his fingertips, and a golden light instantly swept across the three hundred miles of sea surface. When it arrived, the talisman turned in the air and turned into a three-inch long dark golden knife, which chopped directly at the iron-armored sea lizards. The knife light fell and rose again, rising and falling three times, and the three iron-armored sea lizards were killed instantly.

The fifth-level talisman, the golden sword demon-slaying talisman, was only of the fifth-level top grade, but with Lu Cheng's talisman-controlling skills, it was not difficult to kill three fifth-level iron-armored sea lizards.

When the remaining iron-clad sea lizards saw that their leader was dead, they all raised their heads and let out a mournful wail, then dived into the sea and swam away.

The three monks from Sansheng Wendao Mountain escaped death, but before they could express their gratitude, Lu Cheng's voice reached their ears from afar:

"Retreat quickly, you can't stay here for long."

The three monks looked stern, bowed and thanked, then quickly evacuated with their companions.

Before long, something strange happened!
Dozens of pitch-black vines suddenly shot out from the void under Lu Cheng's feet and wrapped around the Taoist's legs like poisonous snakes.

"Looking for death!" Lu Cheng snorted coldly when he saw this, knowing that his attack just now had exposed his whereabouts. But even so, he did not fight for any treasures, but the other party still attacked him in such a situation, which meant that the other party regarded him as a target of robbery.

With a flick of his finger, real fire ignited, and those dark vines were burned to ashes before they got close.

At the same time, Lu Cheng threw out two sixth-grade top-grade talismans, one black and one white, from his sleeves, forming two ghost-faced shields, one crying and one laughing, to protect his body from front and back. The next moment, the flame of the true fire suddenly surged, burning the surrounding darkness, and a black shadow was forced to reveal itself - it was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Shadow Clan!

Looking at the sixth-order peak spirit dragon that emerged from the true fire, the shadow clan cultivator showed some fear in his expression, but still spoke:
"Young man of the human race, you have some good tricks. No wonder Cang Ze died in your hands!" The Shadow Clan cultivator sneered sinisterly, clasped his hands together, and thousands of shadow thorns appeared in the void, shooting towards him like a rainstorm.

Lu Cheng did not dodge or evade. Under the strange laughter of the two ghost-faced shields in front and behind, all the shadow thorns were shattered. He was about to fight back when he suddenly felt a murderous intent behind him:
A pitch-black magic blade silently slashed towards his back!
Top 100 races, the Devil's Blade Mantis!
"I see. I thought the Shadow Tribe had changed their temperament and preferred direct combat."

"Can he tell me that I killed that Cang Ze? Was it some kind of Shadow Clan secret that fell on me? Did it silently plant some kind of mark on me?"

On the ghost face shield, Lu Cheng formed a spell.

The crying and laughing faces kept turning in front and behind him, and he cried and laughed at the same time.

Whether it was just crying or just laughing, it was a kind of mental attack, but at this time the two were neutralized, forming a strange, invisible and tangible ripple that spread around.

The talismans used by a sixth-level talisman master and those used by other cultivators must be different, even if they are the same talismans.

If this sixth-rank talisman master is also proficient in fighting techniques, he would be doubly terrifying!
Under this invisible and tangible ripple, the movements of the Shadow Clan monk and the Demon Blade Mantis both came to a standstill.

Fortunately, the Shadow Clan cultivator regained his composure in time and raised a cold iron shield to block the attack of the fire dragon that was swooping down in front of him.

However, the fire dragon suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a blood bead. This bead was extremely evil and could corrode magic power. After the blood light shone on it, it drilled into its body and madly devoured its own blood and essence!

“Blood Pearl of All Souls, how dare you sacrifice such a magical treasure that is so harmful to the harmony of nature!”

At the same time, the Demon Blade Mantis that had originally attacked Lu Cheng was getting close. The Demon Blade Mantis clan loves killing, is good at swordsmanship, and is good at close combat. Originally, all the members of the clan have a sharp sword heart and are extremely difficult to be affected by mental spells. However, Lu Cheng exhausted the mana in two sixth-grade top-grade talismans just to gain an advantage for himself.

In a fight, a single moment is enough to decide victory or defeat, life or death.

With a flick of his sleeve, a magic seal suddenly flew out from his sleeve.

As soon as this seal appeared, it caused the surrounding spiritual energy to riot, and the sea water within a hundred feet radius began to churn like boiling water.

"town!"

With Lu Cheng's low shout, the Yuanshi Tianmo Seal swelled in the wind, and in an instant it became ten feet in size, pressing down on the Demon Blade Mantis like a small mountain.

The mantis had just recovered from the shock and its six compound eyes had just caught a glimpse of the shadow above its head. Before it could flap its wings to dodge, it was hit hard by the magic seal.

“Click…click…click”

The crisp sound of bones cracking resounded throughout the seabed. The hard shell that the Demon Blade Mantis was proud of was like thin paper under the Yuanshi Tianmo Seal, and its entire body was flattened.

Its pair of blades, powerful enough to cut off magic weapons, slashed twice in vain before shattering into pieces under the weight of the magic seal.

Dark green body fluids spurted out from the cracks in the shell, turning the surrounding sea water turbid.

The sixth-rank superior grade Yuanshi Tianmo Seal, when activated, combines the power of the cultivator's body, making it difficult to control and extremely powerful.

At the same time, the fight between the fire dragon and the shadow clan cultivator became increasingly intense.

When the Shadow Clan saw the companion he relied on being defeated and killed so quickly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and his body shook and he was about to turn into a shadow and escape.

However, under the restraint of the fire dragon, the blood light of all living things had already penetrated into his body, spreading like a cancer attached to the bone, devouring his blood and essence, and delaying his escape method.

"Want to leave?" Lu Cheng sneered, stretched out a finger, and a green flying sword with cold light seemed to appear out of thin air and killed him.

The sword art of the Hundred Poisons and Heavenly Filth, the sword light slashed down like the dark realm of the azure sky. Although it was the insect sword art composed of the five elements of poisonous insects at this moment, the truly terrifying thing was the sword light on it.

"Nine Heavens Blood Evil Shield, raise!"

Nine blood-red lightning bolts struck down in response. Seeing that there was no way to survive, the Shadow Clan cultivator gritted his teeth and performed a forbidden technique, raising a bone shield and opening his mouth to swallow the nine blood-red lightning bolts one by one.

Finally, it transformed into a thick blood light that surrounded it.

Many cultivators from other races are brutal and good at attacking but not defending. This was the case with the Shadow Clan cultivator that Lu Cheng had killed before and the Demon Blade Mantis that he had just killed. Most of the magic weapons on their bodies had the effects of increasing their stealth and sharpness.

Of course, this is also determined by the development direction of each race. Races like human cultivators that have a balanced offense and defense are actually very rare. Most of the races in the spiritual world focus more on offense than defense.

Because the vast majority of the races in the spiritual world are at a lower level, and the lower races are unwilling to fight for their lives, so how can there be a chance?
"You like Lei, right? That's not easy, right?"

Seeing this, Lu Cheng smiled slightly, took out a purple seal talisman and began to chant it quickly.

He was a sixth-rank talisman master, and his talisman control was faster than that of other cultivators at the same level. He was blessed with his innate magical power and his innate magic weapon. Therefore, it didn't take long before the thunder talisman in his hand was completely burned out. The thunderclouds in the sky suddenly collapsed into a point, and then burst out with a column of light condensed purely from purple lightning.

Rumble, rumble, heavy thunder rolled past.

When the lightning descended, the Shadow Clan cultivator in the blood shield screamed with fear and disbelief on his face:

"Do not--"

Boom, and in the next moment it was shattered by the divine thunder.

Lu Cheng used the All-Spirit Blood Pearl to absorb the blood energy around him.

The fire dragon circled back and swam around Lu Cheng in a flattering manner. Lu Cheng glanced at it and casually ejected a real fire.

The fire dragon was overjoyed and swallowed it in one gulp.

It seemed that because the incarnation outside the body had also been refined with the Samadhi True Fire, this fire dragon liked the taste of Lu Cheng's True Fire very much. If it could get a Samadhi True Fire, it would be a great tonic for it.

After obtaining the seventh-level Mars Heart Bead, before its origin is fully refined, the replenishment speed of Lu Cheng's Samadhi True Fire will be greatly improved. But even so, the Samadhi True Fire is precious. It is already good to be able to share some with the incarnation for body refining, but it is almost impossible to share it with a spiritual pet.

The seventh-level Mars Heart Bead is not of high grade, but it is extremely rare. Even in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it is not easy to buy.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng turned over and jumped onto the back of the fire dragon.

"go!"

"Roar!"

The fire dragon roared and rushed towards the northeast with Lu Cheng in its arms. As its tail swung, it left a shattered air behind it.

Not long after they left, three figures emerged from the water at the place where the battle had taken place.

The leader was a Patrolling Demon Bull that was over ten feet tall. He leaned over to check the area where the Devil Blade Mantis had died. Two streams of white air blew out of the bull's nose:
"What a cruel method! Not even the demon soul escaped."

A figure covered in a black robe squatted down beside him, touched the ashes of the Shadow Clan monk with his fingertips, and said hoarsely:
"It was the method used by the human cultivators... They didn't even have time to self-destruct the demon souls. They were good at killing."

The third person was a sea creature with a fin on his back. He sniffed the sea water and had some thoughts in his mind, but did not say much.

Many cultivators in the Mist Hidden Sea were paying attention to this battle.

After this battle, no foreign cultivators came to trouble Lucheng anymore. Among the cultivators gathered in the Mist Hidden Sea, a rumor began to spread:

"Recently, a cruel and ruthless young man has emerged from the Taiqing Sect of the human race. When fighting with others, he usually uses the sixth-level thunder talisman to hit people. And since he attacked, no one has survived, not even the Nascent Soul and the demon soul can escape."

"After all, he is the true disciple of the first sect of the human race back then. How could he not have a few high-level spiritual talismans with him when he goes out? The rich and powerful families have a profound foundation. How dare our small clan compete with them!?"

In the world of earthly immortals, a Nascent Soul cultivator has reached the threshold of becoming a high-level cultivator.

Lu Cheng usually sees it often and doesn't think it's a big deal. Many of the true disciples who practice seclusion in Taiqing Mountain have this level of magical power, but among many small tribes in the spiritual world, they are like white jade pillars that support the sky and purple gold beams that support the sea. If they die, many people in the entire tribe will be buried with them.

There are many high-level cultivators in the earthly immortal world, but the number of races and intelligent creatures is also far greater than that in the mortal world.

At the same time, on the other side, in a hidden deep-sea cave, Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on a newly carved stone bed, thinking about his whole body:

"I have checked my body, magic power, and spiritual consciousness. They have not been contaminated by the Shadow Clan cultivators. What could it be? Where is it? Or maybe I am not good enough to detect it."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Cheng's gaze finally fell on his own shadow under the light.

Although he was a little reluctant, after some hesitation, Lu Cheng finally shot out a wisp of Samadhi True Fire and let it fall on his own shadow to burn it.

Earth fire, human fire, heavenly fire.

It can also be called Qi Fire, Essence Fire, Divine Fire, Fire in Stone, Fire in the World, Fire in Heaven.

The Samadhi True Fire burned on Lu Cheng's shadow, and in just a moment, two black mist-like resentments were forced out of it.

"Sure enough, it's here. I was a little careless after all. On the other hand, I was too eager to save real fire."

The Shadow Clan cultivators' comprehension and cultivation of the art of shadows was indeed beyond Lu Cheng's understanding. Fortunately, the one he met this time was a Nascent Soul Shadow Clan cultivator. If he had met a Shadow Clan cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would not have been so easy to escape.

After eliminating the hidden danger in his body, Lu Cheng continued to roam around the edge of the Mist Sea in the following days. Since most cultivators had recognized his strength and he did not easily set foot in the central area, few people came to trouble him.

With the continuous eruption of the underground volcanoes, more and more high-level spiritual creatures of heaven and earth appear.

Therefore, more and more high-level monks or powerful creatures come here.

"Roar--!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the lava column exploded and an eight-armed fire demon broke out of the sea!

This demon is a hundred feet tall, his entire body is red, and his eight arms each hold a flaming sword, spear, axe, and fork. His aura has apparently reached the Return to Void realm!

This is what is called a high-level creature. There are some immortal and demon races in the earthly immortal world that do not need to practice cultivation. When they reach adulthood, they can reach the Nascent Soul realm or even above.

If they practice, they can fully master the power bestowed by their race, but this kind of race usually finds it difficult to break through the bottleneck of their innate bloodline.

"This is my tribe's territory. You ants who stole my tribe's treasures, all of you, die!"

The fire demon laughed wildly and swept its giant axe across, instantly splitting the three Nascent Soul beings from various races into two pieces, their flesh and blood being burned by the flames before they even hit the ground.

The other monks in the sea area retreated in horror, but the Fire Demon was faster. He waved his eight arms together, and the fire waves spread across a thousand miles, turning the entire sea area into a lava purgatory!

"When did the sea become your tribe's territory?"

A giant with the upper body of a human being and the lower body of a fish tail broke out of the sea, holding a huge painted halberd in his hand. He also had a terrifying aura and was in the realm of refining emptiness.

The fire demon and the sea monster brandished their weapons and started fighting. The spiritual energy of the world within a thousand miles around them turned into a raging wave, rolling and spreading.

Even if one is at the Nascent Soul or even Spiritual Transformation realm, if one is accidentally hit by the blade light, he will most likely die.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng did not stay in the core area for long at the beginning. Although the power of the battle between the Void Refinement Realm cultivators was earth-shaking, it would not threaten his safety.

On the contrary, from Lu Cheng's perspective, being able to watch the fight between beings of such a high level from afar is already a gain, as this level of fight cannot be seen in the mortal world.
