Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 70: Finally Finding the Treasure
Huhu.

A heavy gust of wind swept past.

In a stone chamber in an ancient underground tomb, an old Taoist priest wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with an eagle nose, a wide mouth, and an extremely cold temperament, with a face as pale as gold paper, was practicing Qigong to heal his wounds.

As Fang Yanling continued to wield the magic formula with both hands and his magic power circulated, his entire body slowly floated in the air.

As his magic formula changed, there seemed to be faint flashes of lightning and thunder all around, and several actual electric current changes formed between Fang Yanling's magic formulas.

"Ah!"

His magical powers were activated to the extreme, and with a clang, a ray of golden light shot out from the old Taoist's chest, as sharp as a solid object, and flew backwards and pierced through the floor of the stone chamber.

After forcing the sword energy into his body, Fang Yanling's complexion gradually improved and his figure slowly fell down.

"Cough cough."

"Sword will becomes momentum, sword heart is clear!? To be able to cultivate such unique skills and magical powers in the Qi training realm, either those old monsters from ancient times, or those immortal seeds that are hard to find in thousands of years, born with destiny and good at fighting and killing. No matter which one it is, since he has become an enemy, he must not be allowed to live!"

While whispering, the old Taoist slapped his Qiankun bag, and a yellow paper talisman flew out and was caught in his hand.

“Whether it’s an old monster or a fairy seed, humph, they will all be shattered to pieces by this fourth-level thunder talisman!”

As he made up his mind, the old Taoist Fang Yanling also showed a trace of regret on his face.

In a place like the City That Never Sleeps where the essence of the southern border cultivation world is gathered, due to the large number of cultivators practicing Qi and building their foundation, third-tier magic tools, third-tier talismans and other items are relatively easy to buy. The reason is that there are enough third-tier tool refiners and third-tier talisman makers.

However, once the talisman reaches the fourth level, it becomes very difficult to obtain and its value increases many times.

Because it can be used as a trump card for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, it always appears at large auctions such as the Liujin Ancient Artifact Workshop.

Fang Yanling had been practicing Taoism for many years and he only had two pieces of self-defense armor on him, which showed how ruthless he was at this moment.

On the other side, Lu Cheng carried Lin Qingyue all the way up. He knew clearly that Fang Yanling's injuries were not serious, and he was trying his best to find a glimmer of hope for himself and Lin Qingyue.

Walking into a stone chamber, Lu Cheng took out a handful of golden beans from his Qiankun bag, condensed his magic power into them, and then threw them out:
"Imperial decree, heavenly soldiers and divine generals, obey the order to protect the Dharma, protect my Dharma lineage."

bang bang.

As the golden beans fell to the ground, forty-nine dark red lights flashed.

Forty-nine heavenly soldiers and generals then appeared, making the stone chamber quite crowded for a while.

Time is running out, so Lu Cheng doesn't hesitate:
"There is a powerful enemy behind me who is chasing me. My thunder and fire power has been exhausted, and I am no longer able to fight him. I am calling you here not to defeat and kill this powerful enemy, but to stop him. Are you willing?"

The power of thunder and fire has been exhausted, and what now supports the forty-nine heavenly soldiers and generals to appear is Lu Cheng's own magic power and the Yin energy they have cultivated.

Although it looks no different, but in this state, these forty-nine heavenly soldiers and generals may really lose their souls, or get lost in this ancient tomb and become wandering ghosts again.

Without the power of thunder and fire, Lu Cheng was unable to control them by force.

Li Meng, Tu Nuhu and even the silver-armored heavenly soldiers looked at each other, and then all the ghosts bowed down.

Li Meng: "I was originally a chaotic and ignorant person, and I should have been sinking and suffering in this sea of ​​suffering for generations to come. It was the master who saved me from poverty and taught me the Tao. The kindness is profound, so Li Meng is willing to die for the master!"

Tu Nuhu glared at Li Meng and continued:
"Me too!"

Then, the silver-armored heavenly soldiers behind them also clasped their fists and said:
"We are willing to die for the master!"

"Okay, you don't have to fight that great enemy to death, just stop him."

The situation was urgent and Lu Cheng didn't have time to say anything more at this moment. After giving some instructions, he continued to escape towards the top of the ancient tomb with Lin Qingyue on his back.

This direction is opposite to the main tomb chamber of the ancient tomb. Lu Cheng guessed that Lin Chuanli and the Yuan family father and daughter had already arrived at the main tomb chamber and were now trying their best to kill the ghosts and break the defensive restrictions there.

As long as there is the slightest change below, Lu Cheng doesn't believe that Fang Yanling will be able to hold back and not seize the treasure but will come over to kill him. This is where life lies.

"Lin Lie, was that a divine master's spell just now? You also practiced the divine way? And why do they call you the master of the temple? You are not the reincarnation of some great master as recorded in the Taoist scriptures, are you?"

Lin Qingyue had just been patient for a while, but at this moment she couldn't help but ask questions one after another.

"A few years ago, I collected some wandering ghosts and built a Taoist temple. I wanted to tell you about this as well."

Lu Cheng was also thinking about when to tell Lin Qingyue the truth. He felt a little sorry for her. He had been so beastly before that she didn't even see his true appearance for the first time. Lu Cheng felt like he had cheated on himself. Fortunately, the real Lin Lie had been dead for many years.

At this moment, Lu Cheng pushed open the door of a stone chamber with both hands, and saw corpses lying all over the floor inside. A strong evil energy rushed towards him the moment the stone door was pushed open.

The stone chamber was clearly empty, but somehow it felt like it was full of people.

Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue both looked nervous when they saw this, because they had encountered corpses like this before. However, Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something.

Half an hour later, after recovering from his injuries, the old Taoist Fang Yanling used his spiritual sense to detect the whereabouts of Lu Cheng and the other man, and chased after them again with a bone staff in hand.

Fang Yanling knocked the stone door open with a palm, but unexpectedly saw the young man and the purple-clothed female cultivator meditating and practicing magic in a stone chamber full of corpses. After seeing him, they both slowly stood up.

"Why, you're not going to run away anymore?"

Something must be wrong when something is abnormal. Fang Yanling himself is an old monk who has practiced for many years. He looked around with a flickering gaze, and his spiritual sense has swept the entire stone room back and forth several times, but he did not find anything abnormal. Even so, after the experience of retreating twice before, Fang Yanling was also very cautious and cast a defensive spell on himself to protect his body.

"Old Monster Fang, you are chasing us so hard, have you ever thought that the treasures in the main tomb have been taken away by others?"

Lu Cheng usually doesn't use trash talk tactics to provoke his opponents, but that doesn't mean he is not good at it. As long as he wants, Lu Cheng knows what words to say to make people most uncomfortable.

"Humph, even if I kill you, the treasures will still be mine."

With a wave of the human-head poison stick in his hand, the green flame flew towards Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue again.

However, it was blocked by three sword lights controlled by Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue.

Lu Cheng had White Crane Cinnabar on him. Although it had not been refined, it was still able to resist poison. Therefore, Lu Cheng was not hurt when he was hit by Fang Yanling's human-head poison stick.

You have to know that this human-head poison stick is the magic weapon that Fang Yanling usually relies on, how could its power be small?

However, the cinnabar of the third-level white crane can even restrain most fourth-level poisons after being refined, or at least suppress and alleviate them. Fang Yanling's human-head poison stick naturally has no effect against this thing.

Even at this moment, even if the sword lights of Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue could not block all the poisonous flows, those poisonous flows rushed over, and Lu Cheng, who was standing in front, was blocked by an invisible and tangible barrier on his body.

However, Fang Yanling couldn’t figure out the trick at the moment. Even in southern Xinjiang, exotic poisonous cranes are relatively rare.

"Hmph, the magical power foundation of these two people is not bad, and they recovered so quickly." While thinking this in his mind, Fang Yanling had already started to activate the fourth-level Yuan Gang Shenlei Talisman in his hand, but it took a shorter time to prepare to activate the talisman of a higher level.

Lu Cheng's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he instantly sensed the huge threat that was approaching.

"A fatal sword!"

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng no longer hid himself. All his magic power was transformed into sword energy, which surged out like a tornado, affecting the entire stone chamber, including the corpses of course.

Lu Cheng chose Chunjun among the two swords, flew up, holding the Chunjun flying sword and assassinated Fang Yanling.

At the same time, the sword energy scattered throughout the stone chamber turned from hard to soft, and like gusts of wind, it swept the corpses and fell towards Fang Yanling.

"What's the point of doing this?"

The cultivators of the Fang family in Luanhun Mountain had mostly encountered strange insects and monsters along the way, and had never encountered a corpse. Therefore, Fang Yanling could not understand the intention of Lu Cheng's action for a while.

But he was very confident in the Yuan Gang Divine Thunder Talisman in his hand. Not to mention a Qi Training Realm cultivator, even a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would be blown to pieces on the spot if he wasn't careful. How could a person be easily beaten by a high-level Thunder Talisman? Facing the corpses falling from all directions, Fang Yanling still waved his human head poison staff, rolling up green flames to try to knock them down.

Bang! But when the green flame scroll touched the mummies, huge amounts of black mist were released from the corpses. The black mist grew against the wind, and there were countless blurry human faces roaring and wailing in it. It enveloped Lu Cheng and Fang Yanling in a very short time.

Thousands of souls cried together, tens of thousands of ghosts wailed, and among them were ghost cultivators. They roared and bit Fang Yanling and Lu Cheng.

Fang Yanling could never have imagined that such a change would occur. However, the first thing he had to face at this moment was Lu Cheng's full-strength sword:
Seize the sky and turn it into a spirit, a meteor from the sky!
"Photography!"

Lu Cheng pressed the air towards the old Taoist priest in black and white robe.

A faint thread of magic power was extracted from the Taoist's body. Because this magic power had not yet been activated, the activation of the Yuan Gang Divine Thunder Talisman was delayed for a moment, and even caused a subtle counterattack of his own magic power.

The thin thread of magic power merged into Lu Cheng's body, and in the next moment he used it on the long sword in his right hand. He wished he could use all the magic power in his body to kill off the sword. Lu Cheng's seemingly simple sword technique was even better than the assassination sword that Liu Baihong was proud of back then: Baihong Guanri.

The reason is simple. Lu Cheng, who is at the peak of Qi training, is much stronger than Liu Baihong, who is also at the peak of Qi training. He can add more essence to this sword.

He gathered his strength in one go, poured all his power into the sword, and killed the target in one go, just like a swallow skimming across the water, leaving a line.

The line that the flying sword draws is the center line of the person.

The sword light cut and slashed, tearing the protective talisman power, and blood burst out.

At the same time, under the soul-devouring attacks of thousands of ghosts, a translucent barrier guarded by forty-nine heavenly soldiers and generals faintly appeared on Lu Cheng's body.

The next moment, Lu Cheng and his sword became one, slashing out at the location where a ghost fog tornado was almost formed. The forty-nine-layer defensive barrier on his body was broken, and even his body was invaded by Yin energy. After all, he was simply at the center of the explosion of more than a dozen fire thunder beads.

Fortunately, this power was not condensed, and Lu Cheng passed through it quickly. Otherwise, Lu Cheng would think he was dead at this moment.

"Fortunately, I chose to call back the heavenly soldiers and generals to protect me, otherwise my injuries would be many times more serious now, and it might even damage my foundation."

Lu Cheng, in a state of unity between man and sword, rushed out of the ghost fog tornado and came to the other corner of the stone chamber. Lin Qingyue quickly flew over on her sword to support him.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

At the same time, a terrifying and shrill howl came from the ghost fog tornado. Fang Yanling had provoked the originally silent thousands of ghosts. At this moment, the thousands of ghosts were feasting on blood and souls. He was also cut by Lu Cheng's sword. Even if he was a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, he was ruined. If he didn't die, he would be seriously injured and could no longer pose a threat.

At the critical moment of life and death, Fang Yanling's desire to survive burst out, and he suddenly used the escape technique to escape from the stone chamber, but the ghost fog tornado held on to him tightly and refused to let him go, following him wherever he flew. The dead yearn for warm flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood souls of the cultivators in the late stage of foundation building are even more tonic, which can drive the ghosts and ghost cultivators completely crazy.

To be honest, even Lu Cheng didn't expect to achieve this effect at first.

boom.

At this moment, the sound of an explosion was faintly heard from below.

Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue looked at each other, and they immediately thought of the same thing: "Lin Chuanli!"

"Let's go. We have been fighting to the death for so long that we can't let that guy have all the benefits. We are the ones who defeated the cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. It doesn't make sense for them to take all the benefits."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyue nodded slightly, and then the purple-robed female cultivator asked with concern:
"Are you feeling well?"

"The injury is serious, but..." When Lu Cheng said this, he paused and then stood up, with a sharp and fierce intention emanating from his body.

"It's no problem to suppress Lin Chuanli."

"Don't worry, Chuanli is still very caring towards the Lin family."

After that, Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue quickly headed to the underground main tomb. From the explosion and noise just now, it was obvious that Lin Chuanli and his team had reached a critical moment.

Fang Yanling was really hard to kill. After Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue left the stone chamber, they could no longer see the ghost fog tornado, but Lu Cheng no longer cared. Even if Fang Yanling didn't die in the end, he would at least be seriously injured and nearly dead in that situation.

If he dares to come again, it will only take one sword strike.

When Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue arrived at the main tomb area, Lin Chuanli and the Yuan family father and daughter had just eliminated the last group of ghosts and spirits. The three of them were a little embarrassed. Seeing that Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue had followed closely, the Yuan family father and daughter seemed a little embarrassed.

Only Lin Chuanli looked surprised and said with a smile:
"Aunt, I never thought that even the old monster Fang Yanling could be killed by you and uncle. I admire you."

Lin Chuanli was a young man from an aristocratic family who was fond of women. When Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue came over, Lin Qingyue's steps were obviously inconvenient, so Lin Chuanli could tell at a glance that she and the man next to her were already husband and wife.

Calling himself nephew at this time made it difficult for Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue to argue with him any more.

"As long as I didn't disappoint Chuanli."

Lin Qingyue's pretty face turned slightly red, but she still nodded lightly.

Then, the five people, all of whom had their magic powers damaged and were injured, pushed open the door of the main tomb chamber.

Wow wow wow wow.

The water of the waterfall flows down, and there is a faint sunlight shining down from above.

In the center of the cave, a huge coffin was placed between the complicated array formations. After years of vitality infiltration, the huge coffin seemed to be covered with blood vessels, and even twitched slightly, in an attempt to bring the dead back to life.

But everyone's eyes were not on the coffin. No matter how brilliant Lin Tianshu was a hundred years ago, a hundred years later, Lin Tianshu, who had reached the ninth level of foundation building, could not break through the upper limit of his lifespan. He was a dead man lying in the coffin. He was a loser on the road to immortality.

Moreover, the entire lower level of the underground palace is paved with spiritual stones.

Although I knew that Lin Tianshu had gone too far back then, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. The Lin family didn't go bankrupt because of him, he really had a deep foundation. No wonder they had been hunting him down for so many years. Now this family mission still exists in the Lin family of Ranmu Mountain.

"Treasure Cave!"

"Magic Weapon Cave!"

In comparison, the Yuan family father and daughter were dazzled by the room full of spirit stones.

Lin Qingyue, Lin Chuanli and the others each had their own goals, and so did Lu Cheng. After looking around, he found:

"Book Cave!"

These caves are divided into categories, but they are connected together. Lin Tianshu is a master of formations. Even his own tomb must be arranged in accordance with the essence of formations. All the valuables are classified and have their own places.

"Ah, so many treasures, fourth- and fifth-level materials!"

"Third-level magic weapon, fourth-level magic weapon, third-level talisman, fourth-level talisman!" Lin Qingyue and Lin Chuanli rushed into the cave, and after the initial astonishment and ecstasy, they began to quickly put the items into their Qiankun bags.

Lin Chuanli noticed that the Taoist entered the cave of books first and started to flip through the classics without even looking at other treasures. His eyes narrowed slightly, but he forced them to suppress it.

Instead, he turned around, smiled at the somewhat restrained Yuan family father and daughter, threw two empty Qiankun bags to them, and said:
"Don't just stand there, take as much as you can, and after you get out, give it to you and your daughter as well."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Lin."

Hearing this, the Yuan family father and daughter were overjoyed. Such an amazing treasure in front of them, even if it was divided into one tenth or one twentieth, would be a huge fortune for the father and daughter.

But in his ecstasy, even an old cultivator like Yuan Wuwang could not detect the cold murderous intent in Lin Chuanli's eyes behind his gentle smile.

As for Lin Lie, since he would marry into the Lin family sooner or later, Lin Chuanli could still tolerate it, but the father and daughter in front of him...

"The Great Method of Seizing the Sky and Transforming the Soul", "The Secret of Forging the Yuan in the Five Palaces", "The Book of Five Elements Alchemy", "Transferring the Soul" and many other Taoist classics, secrets of condensing evil spirits and refining the power.

Lin Tianshu had almost completely emptied the Lin Family Sutra Pavilion. All the skills that Lu Cheng needed were here. In addition, there were also many kinds of elixir, talismans, arrays, and external law books. These alone were incredibly valuable, so Lin Qingyue's previous judgment was not wrong:
If they fight for their lives once at the Qi training stage, and succeed, the wealth in Lin Tianshu's inheritance will be enough for the two of them to cultivate to the Golden Core stage without having to take risks for cultivation resources.

Lu Cheng immediately put the first four volumes of classics into the Qiankun Ring, and then the other Taoist books. At this moment, his purpose of risking his life to sneak into the Southern Xinjiang City That Never Sleeps had been achieved.
