Chapter 195: The Entanglement of Law and Intent

"Huh? This is it!"

Chu Tai, who was communicating with Taoist Mu Jing, gathering Taoist techniques and sorting out the meaning of the techniques, felt something in his heart and looked towards the place where the fight was taking place.

Mu Jing also stood up and said in a cold voice: "Master Baizhu has really gone backwards. We clearly agreed to a fair fight, but he attacked the sixth-rank cultivator again and again. Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

As he said that, he invited Chu Tai to deal with it together.

Chu Tai heard this and chuckled, "Although Bai Zhu's character is not very good, she has great magical powers and is quite thoughtful. She knows that among the five of you, Chang Pu is the one who can best restrain the Zhushan Sect's method, so she wanted to attack her first."

"The Taoist priest Baizhu is quite capable. He was able to combine the Yinhun Baiku method with the Zhushan Sect's bamboo refining method to derive a set of Yinhun Baizhu swords. In terms of life and death properties, he is less restrained by Changpu's Shaoyin Taibai Gengxin Zhenqi than Cuizhu. In addition, due to the difference in cultivation, Changpu really cannot beat him. We should go quickly."

As he spoke, clouds of light appeared under Taoist Mu Jing's feet, carrying him quickly towards the battlefield.

At this time, Acorus was in a really bad situation. The old Taoist Baizhu, who was hiding in the dark, released black smoke. When Acorus was on guard, he suddenly cast a spell, causing a ghost claw as big as a millstone and made of white bamboo skin to emerge from the ground and grab Acorus.

This ghost claw is also a secret spell created by Bai Zhu by combining the techniques of the two sects. It can contaminate people's magic weapons and seize people's flying swords. If a magic weapon of slightly inferior quality is caught by it, its spirituality will be immediately contaminated by the many ghost fires hidden in it, and then crushed by the bone claw.

At the same time, there were bursts of sharp howling and screaming sounds from ghosts, and hundreds of ghosts' white bamboo swords flew out.

Not only are these white bamboo swords much stronger than the flying swords previously used by the Zhushan Sect’s disciples, they also have many more magical uses.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, they will have to experience a wave of howling ghosts before being hit by the sword light. If they are distracted during this period, Bai Zhu will easily seize the opportunity and break their defense with the sword light.

During this period, any time the skin is scratched or blood is seen, it will be affected by the strange and evil white bamboo energy hidden within the white bamboo.

This evil spirit has both the evilness of a ghost and the toughness of green bamboo. There is no specific way to deal with it, and the only way is to abandon the physical body.

Therefore, while the howling and screaming sounds of the ghosts echoed around, green flames also rose up around the white bamboo swords of the hundred ghosts, surrounding Acorus.

Xiang Xuan became anxious when he saw this scene. He twisted the green water hook up and down, trying to lock a white bamboo sword, but it was burned by the green fire and its light dimmed.

Chang Pu brought out the White Emperor's Golden Axe, and after its sharp edges crossed and cut off a white bamboo sword, it was immediately blocked by dozens of swords. The layers of green fire burned the golden axe, making its light appear turbid, and even spots of rust appeared on the surface of the White Emperor's Golden Axe.

"What a vicious spell."

Acorus was startled and raised the Baidi Miyun Flag. A strong wind blew up, and wisps of golden energy turned into cloud light and hung down. The flag shook, and the shadow of a winged white tiger emerged. It flapped its wings, and the white bamboo swords flew around like fish in a net, but they could not break through the net.

Taoist Master Baizhu, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and knew that he could not delay any longer, so he stood up and took action himself.

After he personally took the field, he immediately used his own magical powers to influence the surroundings.

The white bamboo sword flying up and down was immediately stimulated, bursting out with a white sword light, mixed with rolling black evil and flying emerald green fire, burning Acorus and forcing it to constantly close its defense line.

Gradually, piles of white bones emerged from the ground, as if countless bones had already been deposited beneath the earth. From the gaps between these bones, slender white bamboos gradually emerged and grew rapidly.

But when the white bamboo just reached waist height, thin mist rose up, and in the clear light, vitality continued to surge, suppressing the deathly aura around it. The ghosts and bones began to gradually dissipate, and the white bamboo was also stained with a little emerald green.

As soon as Chang Pu saw it, he understood that this was the Yunlin Dharma condensed by Taoist Mu Jing, which is known as the vast forest like blue clouds and the luxuriant forest like blue clouds.

It is the product of Taoist Mu Jing's exploration of the principles of life, plants, and nature, and is also one of the foundations of his achievement of the Five Ranks.

Compared to Chu Tai's [Flying Immortal] Fa Yi, Min Yuan's [Gold and Fire Intersection, Seal Mountain] Fa Yi, which can enhance his own strength in a short period of time, Mu Jing's [Cloud Forest] Fa Yi is somewhat similar to the Fa Yi controlled by Han Ba, both of which are range-based blessings. This is also one of the reasons why Mu Jing did not use his own Fa Yi at the beginning, because he was too restrained by Han Ba's Fa Yi, and it would be easily contaminated by Han Ba ​​if he used it, and even become a helper to the opponent.

Now, the Taoist Baizhu who is opposite Taoist Mu Jing also possesses similar Dharma intentions. Therefore, when both sides’ Dharma intentions are opened, they will begin to influence each other and compete for dominance.

Through the collision of the two's Dharma intentions, Chu Tai also saw the foundation of Taoist Bai Zhu's Dharma intentions through the power of the [Magic Master].

It can be called [Burial Bone Yin Bamboo], and its essence is to bury corpses, integrate death, ghosts and many negative forces into the white bamboo. When it is unfolded, it is seen as rising black mist that can devour vitality. The piles of bones on the ground can be used as aids in casting spells. The Yin bamboo continues to grow from the ground, gradually strengthening the power of the magic.

It's the kind of magic that takes time to gradually erode the surrounding land. The longer the battle lasts, the easier it is to accumulate combat power.

Looking at Taoist Mu Jing, he felt the vital energy surging around him, as well as the Dharma power coming from all directions.

Taoist Baizhu didn't say any more nonsense. He let out a long roar, and hundreds of white bamboo swords flew out from his sleeves. Hundreds of pale sword lights, which were feet long, crisscrossed, carrying thousands of green flames and black clouds as big as acres of fields pressing down.

The Dharma of [Buried Bones in the Bamboo] expands accordingly and erodes the concept of the Dharma of [Yunlin].

"Master Mu Jing, you and I are both practitioners of the Jiayi Wood Method. Our methods are also about the transformation of life and death. It's just that I seek life through death, and you embrace death through life. If we can blend with each other, we will definitely be able to go further. It's a pity that you rejected us before."

"But it doesn't matter. If I kill you and bury you in the ground, I can also obtain a part of your Dharma and perfect my Dharma."

There was also a green fire burning in the pupils of Taoist Baizhu, and a ghostly white mist gradually came out of his mouth and nose. He looked at Taoist Mujing with a face full of regret.

Chu Tai, who came with Taoist Mu Jing, sneered when he heard this and said, "How shameless! You're talking as if you can beat Taoist Mu Jing. Besides, Taoist Mu Jing's Dharma encompasses the vast jungle and tolerates life and death, but you limit yourself to bamboo, so how can you tolerate Yunlin? In my opinion, you might as well give up on yourself and let Taoist Mu Jing tolerate your Dharma."

"You ignorant child, how can you know the profound secrets of my sect's magic?"

Taoist Bai Zhu looked at Chu Tai with disdain on his face.

Chu Tai also gave an answer: "What is there to be proud of as a dead bone in a tomb? Such remarks are really not like those of a shameless person."

"Such childish insults are really unacceptable. Only juniors like you would not understand the respect of our respected..."

"Snapped!"

A series of crisp slapping sounds were heard, and Taoist Bai Zhu, who was practicing his profound skills, tilted his face, and a slap mark appeared on his face.

There was another round of crisp slapping sounds, and Taoist Bai Zhu's face tilted to the other side, with new slap marks appearing on his cheek.

This time, everyone saw a little more clearly. Chu Tai suddenly appeared beside the old Taoist, slapped him, and then immediately returned behind Taoist Mu Jing.

The whole process takes less than a moment.

The most frustrating thing is that after Chu Tai slapped Bai Zhu twice, he waved his palm and looked at Bai Zhu with a mocking look, saying, "It turns out that you are not shameless, but you are thick-skinned enough to use as a shield. No wonder you can be so proud while saying shameless words."

"Junior, you deserve to die!"

Taoist Bai Zhu looked at Chu Tai, the true energy in his body surging, suppressing the light around him, making it slightly dark. At the same time, the wind howled and whistled strangely, forcing Taoist Mu Jing to sacrifice the Green Emperor's Rongyu Flag to resist the other party's breath.
