Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 17: Senior Brother from Heaven
The "Wind Roar Technique" used by Lu Hu is very powerful. If it is used by the Golden Light Ding and activated by Dan Sha, the wind will be filled with evil energy, and even large trees will disintegrate in an instant, shattering into pieces and turning into powder.

He used Dan Qi to stimulate the wind, and the range of the wind was limited. The "golden threads" in the wind could only cut through the thinner branches, and with a humming sound, it left dents on the tree trunks.

Yang Qisheng was carrying the "Eight Yang Golden Light Talisman of Heaven and Earth", which was a third-generation inheritance from the Golden Light Cauldron and a treasure of the Condensed Evil level. The eight golden light talismans were all condensed from the rich "Golden Light Evil".

Both parties share the same bloodline and origin, but there is a difference in their realms. When the golden wind blows on the protective golden talisman, the evil spirit dissipates it without even a ripple appearing.

Yang Qisheng held up the golden talisman that provided all-round three-dimensional protection and stood steadily in the wind. It was not his character to passively take a beating. He had already activated the spiritual treasure Qingyang Talisman to control the surrounding trees remotely.

A total of eighteen ancient pines "came alive", shaking their crowns and shooting billions of pine needles densely into the flag gate.

On the ground, eighteen dry vines as thick as arms turned over and sprouted like giant snakes and pythons, extending along the ground into the six flag gates to entangle Lu Hu.

His magic power was limited, and these methods could not hurt Lu Hu at all, but they could divert his attention. The blood-pecking flying sword in his right hand was his killer move. He chased Lu Hu and slashed at him among the six flag gates. Lu Hu was really beaten into a panic, cursing angrily, and bit his fingertips to eject blood and essence, mixed with the essence to cast various spells.

He has been practicing with Jin Guang Ding in the mountains for twenty years, and has been taught by Jin Guang Ding personally. His strength is really not weak. His Taoism is at the Great Zhoutian realm of the foundation-building period. His body is connected with the breath of heaven and earth, and he can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his body to replenish his magic power at any time. He has also practiced various spells many times and can perform them at will.

Yang Qisheng's magical power is weaker than his, and he has been practicing Taoism for a shorter time than him, but fortunately he has the Taoist Master Mingyi in his mind to give him on-site instructions and teach him step by step.

He also imprinted the entire "Eight Yang Divine Mantras of Heaven and Earth" deeply in his mind, and could be said to have memorized it by heart.

Lu Hu had never read the original scriptures. Every spell was passed down orally by Jin Guang Ding. He would teach him one today and let him practice it. He would check and correct the mistakes after a while. After he had learned it, he would teach him another one.

What he has learned so far is less than one-third of all the spells in the scriptures.

More importantly, he only learned the spells, but Yang Qisheng saw annotations of three or four people, and as many as five or six people, under each spell!

Some of the people who wrote these annotations were Jin Guangding’s master, his grandfather, his uncles, and his uncles of the same generation.

Furthermore, this book was not created by Master Jin Guang, but was obtained by chance from his predecessors...

There are so many annotations from great masters, and various extensions and elaborations, so you can learn and apply it flexibly, and there is also the guidance and explanation from the real person Mingyi.

It can be said that Yang Qisheng’s current understanding of this Taoist book is more than ten times better than Jin Guang Ding’s!
Lu Hu hadn't learned as much as him, nor did he understand as deeply and broadly as him. He mostly just learned by rote, and the spells he cast were either directly broken by him, or he had to resist them with the Golden Light Spell and the talisman. The more they fought, the more frustrated he felt!
Who is this kid? Could he be one of our uncles or aunts? I've never heard Master mention him! Besides, their ages don't match.

Then he thought: I heard that immortals can maintain their youthful looks and live forever. I am in my fifties this year, but I look like I am less than forty. Could this person really be a senior in our sect?
But no matter what, it is impossible for our senior to be in the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Could he be a disciple of a senior from our sect? My master told me that a great-uncle disappeared in the Myriad Immortals Formation at Xiandu Mountain a hundred years ago. Could he not be dead? Or did he have descendants who passed his legacy down to us?
But why did this descendant kill his fellow apprentice as soon as they met, first killing his junior brother and then wanting to kill himself, as if they had some deep hatred?
He couldn't figure it out in his mind. As Yang Qisheng applied it in practice, he became more and more proficient in magic. After the patient and meticulous guidance of Mingyi Zhenren, he began to try to use the five talismans of Lingbao to mobilize the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to form an array.

There are nine "living" ancient trees gathered in the east. The roots are still in the same place, and the crowns are gathered together. A large number of vines, branches and leaves swarmed in, forming a spiritual treasure Qingyang Talisman.

Three fires were burning in the south, corresponding to the three Qi from the ground. The flames intertwined to form a spiritual treasure fire court talisman.

Fire creates earth, and in the center a large amount of soil and dust surges up from under the dead leaves and wormwood.

Earth regenerates gold, and seven snow-white sword energies condense in the west.

Gold continued to produce water, and five water balls condensed in the north, turning into the magical treasure Xuanming Talisman.

With the five elements in place and the formation in place, they began to suppress Lu Hu's Flag Gate Escape Technique. The six completely invisible Flag Gates began to loom, gradually revealing their outlines from the air. Yang Qisheng's magic power was insufficient, so he couldn't achieve a quick victory and could only gradually gain the upper hand.

Lu Hu was forced into a panic and found it increasingly difficult to resist. He knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose.

He was being chased by the Blood Pecking Sword and unable to escape, so he prepared to cast a spell to summon his senior brother Ma Xiong!

Just as he was making hand gestures and chanting spells to get in touch with Ma Xiong, a white sword light suddenly flew from the south. It came close and landed on the ground, revealing a young man in white.

The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall, with long limbs and handsome features. However, he had a cold look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.

He looked at the fighting between the two sides, raised his eyebrows, and asked Yang Qisheng, "Is it Brother Yang who came from Sanjiang City?"

Yang Qisheng saw that this person was using the "Spiritual Treasure Five Talismans Sword Qi", but his realm was higher than his own. He had also entered the stage of "Circulation of Heavenly Qi", and was at the Great Circulation of Heavenly Qi realm. He could refine the sword Qi and fly with the sword.

He quickly replied, "I am Yang Qisheng from Sanjiang City. May I know your name?"

"I'm your senior brother Ye Yunqiao!" The young man in white was excited when he heard Yang Qisheng's name. He turned to Lu Hu and shouted, "Who are you, you monster? How dare you bully my junior brother!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his ten fingers forward, and ten rays of pure white sword energy shot out from his fingertips. They were all golden spiritual treasures with sharp sword energy.

People who practice martial arts can release their true qi and shoot it out from their fingertips, but once it is released, it can no longer be controlled. The true qi shoots forward like a bullet, and the maximum distance it can go is no more than ten feet, and the power can only penetrate a tree trunk.

The sword energy refined by the immortals gathers and does not disperse after being released. The front end continues to extend, while the back end remains connected to the fingertips. It can be used to stab forward, chop down, slash diagonally, and sweep horizontally, performing various "sword techniques".

The ten sword energies released by Ye Yunqiao extended over twenty feet and directly pierced into the flag gate where Lu Hu was.

Lu Hu was making hand gestures and casting a spell.

He bit his tongue and spurted out the mixed essence and energy, which turned into a ball of red light and rose upwards, about to fly back to the Golden Light Cave to summon Ma Xiong.

Ye Yunqiao saw it clearly, raised his fingertips slightly, and stabbed a sword energy at the red light, and then swept it horizontally, immediately breaking it up. The remaining nine sword energies swept horizontally and vertically at Lu Hu!
Lu Hu was shocked and angry, and then his heart and gallbladder were broken. He urgently spat out a mouthful of bloody energy, disappeared from the spot, and moved behind another flag gate.

Ye Yunqiao's ten sword energies quickly twisted inside the Qimen, but within a few breaths, a sound like tearing silk was heard out of nowhere.

"Swish..." The flag gate collapsed, and the small flags used to set up the formation also broke into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.

Ye Yunqiao destroyed one flag gate, and then used his sword energy to break another flag gate, destroying them one by one.

Lu Hu was heartbroken as the flag gates he had worked so hard to build were broken one after another. He tried to use his whisk to emit black silk to wrap up Ye Yunqiao, but as soon as he got out of the flag gate, he was crushed into pieces by ten white sword energies and could not get close at all!
Yang Qisheng's blood-stained sword peck alone had forced him to flee in panic. This time, ten more terrifying sword energies came. Lu Hu gritted his teeth and used all his strength to resist and dodge: "Who are you? What grudge do I have against you? Why are you trying to kill me?"

Ye Yunqiao said bluntly: "How would I know what hatred I have with you? But if you bully my junior brother, then I can't agree to it!"

Lu Hu nearly spat out the old blood he'd been using to cast spells on the ground: "Please, if your eyesight isn't working well, go find a famous doctor! He was the one who was trapping me and beating me up! Which of your dog eyes saw me bullying him?!"
