Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 228: Demons Arrive, Protect the Dao and Slay the Calamity (I)

Lu Cheng is certainly a person who loves and is fond of swords, but when he came to Tongxuan Realm to practice Taoism, he gradually realized that the focus of practice is to temper and improve one's own roots, and to polish the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. There are some sword immortal lineages that "cultivate one's life and soul with a flying sword" and place one's own soul on the flying sword, but Lu Cheng would not do such a thing.

If it is true that "there is nothing else except the sword", then where am I?

Lu Cheng practiced the great way of the golden elixir, and the elixir was broken into pieces and the infant was born. The flying sword was just his magic weapon to protect the way. He loved it and used it, but the hilt of the sword was always tightly held in his hand.

Before refining the golden elixir, the cultivator's physical body is precious, and damage to important meridians and acupoints will inevitably hinder the path of cultivation.

Therefore, in the previous hundred years, Lu Cheng never used his own body as a means of attack, and even tried to use close combat swordsmanship as little as possible to defend against the enemies from the flying swords.

But after refining the golden elixir, especially cultivating the innate supernatural power of Samadhi True Fire.

This true fire can refine all matter, magic power, and spiritual consciousness and integrate them into oneself. It is of infinite power when used externally, but the most wonderful thing is to use it internally. Even if the body is beaten into a ball of rotten meat, as long as the cultivator is not dead and the soul is still there, he can control the Samadhi True Fire to sort out and reforge the body.

It can be said that as long as the magic power is sufficient, the vitality is sufficient, and the soul is not dispersed, it is easy to reconnect the broken limbs. When you practice to a high level, rebirth by a drop of blood is just a matter of course. You can draw all kinds of immortal spiritual energy into yourself, use the Samadhi fire, and forge them into one piece, solid inside and out, into a body of diamond. Then, even thousands of years and thousands of calamities cannot harm you at all.

It can be said that Lu Cheng's hundred years of hard practice have laid the most powerful foundation for the Tao and received the best reward. However, he can only use Samadhi Fire to heal his wounds now. If he is really beaten into a ball of rotten flesh, he will die immediately. Samadhi Fire has infinite potential as the practice deepens, and it can do all kinds of miraculous things in the future. It doesn't mean that Lu Cheng can do it now.

"I have practiced swordsmanship for two lifetimes, practicing sword and qi simultaneously, and have obtained the five elements of sword and qi, and refined qi; I have comprehended the blood nerves and the general principles of Xuanmen, and refined my essence, but my spiritual consciousness is still flawed. Currently, it is only naturally improving with the improvement of essence and qi, and I have not obtained the advanced skills and techniques. This is my shortcoming. But where in this world can there be any miraculous skills and techniques that can compare to my swordsmanship for two lifetimes, and to the blood nerves and the general principles of Xuanmen?"

With one sword and one punch, he defeated Blood River Immortal and sent him fleeing thousands of miles away, his life or death unknown.

Then the first thought in Lu Cheng's mind was not to be proud, but to make up for his shortcomings in cultivation. It can only be said that he has indeed entered the path of cultivation, and all kinds of adventures and even the opportunity of the Jiuli Ding are just auxiliary.

True Man Xuehe was defeated miserably in one move, leaving the group of true disciples of Xuehe Sect who were in charge of the Xuehe Formation on Guizang Mountain looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do. The next moment, Lu Cheng threw a punch, and a fist as white as jade appeared in the void and directly hit the Xuehe Formation.

Boom...

"puff!"

With just one punch, the monks of the Blood River Sect who presided over the Blood River Prohibition were either dead or injured. The dead were needless to say, while the injured spit out blood from their mouths and fled to Guizang Mountain with all their might, not daring to look back, with infinite fear in their hearts.

"Master's Wife, Lu Cheng is late. Please forgive me!"

"Senior Brother Lu!"

Sisters Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue stood up one after another. Xiao Yuxue screamed in surprise.

At this time, Lu Cheng's gaze fell on the cultivator from the Soul-Calming Valley who was fighting with Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger.

The elder of the Soul-Calming Valley who was holding the Soul-Catching Bell and the blood-red wooden sword was at a loss for a moment. Even though the Soul-Calming Valley was not afraid of a Golden Core True Man of the Demonic Path, he was still very afraid. The death of a beloved disciple was always better than the death of the entire family.

After taking a quick look at the place, Lu Cheng didn't bother with it any more. He knew that his fellow monks would definitely help him protect Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger.

So he turned to Madam Baoxiang and asked:

"Master's wife, where is Master now?"

"On the coast of the East China Sea, Cheng'er, please go and lend a hand quickly. We can handle it here." Madam Baoxiang recovered from her shock and replied immediately.

She knew the magical powers and methods of Master Xuehe. Even if she faced him, she had no guarantee of winning. The chance was at most 50% or even lower.

However, such a great man was defeated in one move by this Ninth Disciple. It was incredible to what extent this Ninth Disciple's Taoism and magical power had grown.

In fact, Lu Cheng at this moment was only slightly stronger than he was two years ago when he held the Seven Sacred Secret Magic Lamp. The Seven Sacred Secret Magic Lamp formed the magic lamp's Dharma body according to the soul and mana of the person it refined. What Lu Cheng refined was one of the Eighteen Golden Corpses, which was directly a Dharma body of the late Jindan stage. In terms of mana, it was even stronger than Lu Cheng at this moment.

It's just that Lu Cheng's grasp of the battle opportunity was too good, and True Man Xuehe had been defeated miserably by Lu Cheng before. His body was broken by a sword and he was depressed and disheartened. Xuehe couldn't even use one tenth of his own abilities, let alone the Xuehe formation he had just set up.

After getting the exact information from his master's wife, Madam Baoxiang, Lu Chengyu used the Tianjun Flying Sword. A golden sword light suddenly cut through the atmosphere, and the next moment he quickly fled from Guizang Mountain.

After Lu Cheng escaped, many evil cultivators, cultivators from the Soul-Realizing Valley, and the Three Immortal Islands of the East China Sea were still on Guizang Mountain, but they were all somewhat discouraged and no longer had the will to fight.

"Let's go. Even if we destroy Guizang Mountain, what can we do? Even if Huang Longzi fails to survive, the Northern Sect Demon Sect already has successors. Killing these demons is useless. Let's go down the mountain and make a long-term plan."

The elder monks of the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea and the Soul-Calming Valley said this after passing on their divine thoughts.

That Yuwen Zheng was okay, with mediocre talent and only a third-grade elixir. It was a credit to him that the Northern Demon Sect did not fall apart after Huang Longzi's death, but it would certainly not be as prosperous as it is today. By that time, the Southern Demon Sect would have destroyed it, and the orthodox sect would have just had to stand by and watch.

But now this Five Elements Sword Lu Cheng has also succeeded in refining the golden elixir, and judging from his current performance, he is even more astonishing than Huang Longzi back then.

Most of them are first-grade elixirs, or even golden elixirs that are extremely good at sword fighting. In this way, the Northern Demon Sect will definitely not decline, and it will be meaningless for the two sects to do so many things.

As for killing Wu Xing Jian Lu Cheng again?
If Jindan Zhenren was so easy to kill, the four major demon sects' lineages would have been cut off long ago.

As soon as the cultivators from the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea and the Soul-Calming Valley showed the slightest intention of retreating, the scattered cultivators gathered at the White Bone Cave Abode were immediately defeated, forcing the cultivators from the two major orthodox religions to cover their retreat.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yunfeng Fairy Xiuyunxian wanted to escape on her sword.

However, Niu Meng suddenly rushed out from the side to block the attack, and then he was hit by Madam Baoxiang's male and female whip, and his magic power collapsed.

"Sister, why are you in such a hurry? I have something personal to tell you."

Magical weapons attacked from all directions, and Xiu Yunxian's flying sword was suddenly at a loss. A sword light seized the opportunity and drew a strange arc, passing through her body at the back. Her life was cut off in an instant, and she died, with her body falling to the ground.

Madam Baoxiang stepped forward to check and confirmed that Xiuyunxian was dead. She took back the flying sword and turned around to praise: "Qingniu'er did a good job!"

The fifth brother Niu Meng was stroking his wound with a simple smile, which made Ou Bai, Nangong Jing and others around him curse in their hearts. The evil spirits failed to attack the mountain, and it was time to reward them. This fifth brother really knew how to act according to circumstances.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the strife for the master's favor in the harem is so brutal. The mistress is obviously afraid that the master will be soft-hearted when he returns, so she killed him with one sword to eliminate the trouble forever!

Mother, it’s a good thing that Dad never married, otherwise, how could you and I have such a good life today? "

At this time, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, mother and daughter, were already protected by a group of cultivators from the Northern Sect. In fact, the elder of the Soul Refining Valley had given up on killing the two after seeing Lu Cheng. At this time, Yun Ling'er saw what was happening in the mountains from afar and said in a low voice.

"Shut up. It's not your turn to criticize your elders. Besides, it's because your husband is devoted to practicing Taoism that we have a good life. He doesn't favor your mother alone. Don't be arrogant because of his favor!" Xue Yuzhen frowned slightly and reminded her daughter.

At the same time, the East China Sea.

A ray of sword light broke through the air, tearing through the atmosphere, and also left a deep sword mark on the sea surface that lasted for a long time.

Water comes after metal, wood comes after water, fire comes after wood, and earth comes after fire.

After the five elements flying swords were controlled in turn, Lu Cheng summoned the Seven Saints Secret Magic Lamps, lit the last dark gold lamp oil, and fled quickly towards the coast of the East China Sea.

After his own magic power is slightly recovered, he will continue to control the Five Elements Flying Sword to perform Sword Qi and Thunder Sound.

"Tian Xin Hun Chaos, why can't I sense where Master is, but He Tianyan can sense it clearly?

Is it because his spiritual consciousness and magical power are insufficient, someone is confusing the heavenly secrets, or... this world does not want Master Huang Longzi to cultivate his Nascent Soul?"

During the flight, Lu Cheng used the Heavenly Demon Algorithm to repeatedly calculate twice, but both were extremely vague. It was impossible for him to spend a lot of energy to calculate under such circumstances, so he could only take one step at a time.

He swallowed the pill and used the Five Elements Sword and the Seven Sacred Secret Magic Lamp alternately to fly away quickly.

During the process, Lu Cheng could also feel powerful auras fleeing towards the east. He could only hope that these guys were not heading to the same destination as him.

After refining the golden elixir and becoming a real person, the entire Tongxuan world seems a little small for cultivators. Lu Cheng had this feeling not long after his promotion. There are more than a thousand cultivators of the same level in the entire Tongxuan world. If they completely disperse their aura, they will inevitably overlap with each other.

No wonder those Jindan masters and Jindan Zhenren, after cultivating to this level, would hide in the mountains and live alone. Unless they were very familiar with each other, it would not be a good feeling when their spiritual consciousness touched each other.

…………

One day later, Lu Cheng had flown to the East China Sea.

Travel to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

When ordinary people read this sentence, they only feel the air of immortals, but it also indirectly shows that this world is too small for the existence of this realm.

For a Jindan cultivator, it only takes a few days to travel the entire Tongxuan Realm from the far west to the coast of the East China Sea. Even traveling around the world is not a difficult task, but a Jindan True Person has a long lifespan.

He adjusted his own spiritual consciousness and magical power to achieve a balance, so that he would not reach the coast of the East China Sea and find Master Huang Longzi, but end up with his spiritual consciousness and magical power severely damaged and thus go to his death.

On this day, Lu Cheng was flying above the sea level, like a golden light flying across the sea, hundreds of miles away in an instant.

At this moment, a presence approached from the side.

The speed was actually able to keep up. Lu Cheng shifted his gaze over and saw a monk wearing a golden brocade robe, with a childlike face and white hair, but carrying a scabbarded long sword on his back. He looked free and easy and always smiling.

"My dear young man, you have such good sword skills. Where are you going?"

"No, no, I can't compare to the old senior who is as fast as a flowing cloud, but still breathes calmly and calmly. I have been traveling for a long time and my breathing is already a little unstable."

"Haha, judging from your handsome bones, you must not have practiced for many years. It is already remarkable to have such a high level of cultivation. I entered Taoism at the age of 60 and have practiced for more than 600 years. It is reasonable that I have some achievements."

Two beams of light flew parallel to each other above the East China Sea. No matter how Lu Cheng accelerated or slowed down, or how the beams of light changed, he was easily entangled by the other party like a bone, without any disturbance.

"My friend, do you want to go to the coast of the East China Sea and ask for some benefits from that madman from the Northern Sect?" At this time, the white-haired monk in brocade robe spoke, inquiring about Lu Cheng's whereabouts.

"Oh, Senior, you are also going there to taste some dragon meat?"

When Lu Cheng said this, the Tianjun flying sword that had split the atmosphere before him was already humming and trembling slightly.

"Hey, with my skills, I can get a share of dragon meat, dragon liver and phoenix marrow. What do you think, my friend, would you like to go with me? Maybe you will get some benefits too."

Gu Xuanzhang was quite serious when he said this. He had seen this young man from afar before. He had outstanding sword skills, but his approach was unprecedented.

It has some of the flavor of the Xiantian School's Xiantian Five Elements Seal, but it is far more sharp and sharp. He also asked many times because he cherished the talent. If it was really a casual cultivator, he would have to report to the sect and accept another true disciple.

There are a large number of independent cultivators and occasionally a few exceptionally talented ones will suddenly appear, but these cultivators are often accepted by the twelve top sects because it is a win-win situation for both parties.

When elite independent cultivators enter a top sect and are exposed to a large number of sophisticated techniques and spells, it is expected that they will make rapid progress in a short period of time. The sect can also use this opportunity to absorb new blood and even stimulate its foundation, making a certain degree of innovation.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, the Beichen Sword Sect's 'life and death depend on a sword!' I cannot afford such a favor - I have long seen that you are the 'cold sword hidden in your back' Gu Xuanzhang, prepare to die!"

Lu Cheng used the sword intent method to directly inject these last few words into the mind of the person next to him. Beichen Sword Sect's elder Gu Xuanzhang was naturally stunned.

But in the next moment, his face became extremely gloomy, and the demonic energy in his body suddenly surged. This was an instinctive reaction of sensing the sword's killing intent before he could come to his senses. A pale sword light burst out from his body, and this was also an instinctive counterattack that did not involve his own conscious control.
