Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 322: Hiding the Sword in the Heart, Killing the Seventh Yuanying Zhenjun (Please Subscribe!)

In the distance in the sky, a red dragon was chasing a nine-headed demon bird that was as big as the black sun. The dragon fled into the distance in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

"Third Uncle, are you okay?"

Lu Cheng used the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner and his own Illusion Sun Techa to scare away the Ghost Chariot. Then he took a step forward and came to the side of Mie Hongzi as if he were just a world away, and supported him.

At this moment, there were corpses everywhere around. If it weren't for Mie Hongzi's iron-heartedness and the following of several very loyal and well-established Jindan-level disciples, she would have died by now.

"Ahem... Cheng'er, go, let's go and kill the demon king together!" Third uncle Mie Hongzi was still as fierce as ever. When he saw Lu Cheng's eyes light up, he grabbed his arm and said so.

"This..." Lu Cheng hesitated when he heard this. He actually had not yet entered the Nascent Soul stage. Although he could compete with the Nascent Soul initial stage cultivators with his magical powers and could also play a role in the Nascent Soul battle, he was still unable to hunt down a Nascent Soul late stage demon god independently.

"The ghost car is best at the Nine-tone illusion. You have cultivated the magical power of sword intent, so you can break the illusion with the sword. Moreover, it has been poisoned by the alchemy idiot Huo Xiu, and it has been besieged by Jian Li and I and attacked with all our strength. Now its magic power is only 20% or 30%. If things are really hopeless, I will explode my Nascent Soul to protect you and escape. Don't miss this opportunity!"

If anyone else said this, Lu Cheng would most likely not believe it, but when his third uncle Mie Hongzi said this, Lu Cheng would not even have a doubt.

This is the toughness that Mie Hongzi has accumulated over hundreds of years. Even her enemies will believe her promise.

"Okay, then I will accompany you on this trip."

After saying that, Lu Cheng nodded to the several sisters and fellow students behind Mie Hongzi, threw out a bottle of pills, held up Mie Hongzi, and instantly turned into a rainbow and escaped.

There is a clear inheritance lineage between Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi. Not to mention now, when he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, Mie Hongzi's disciples will also be his senior and junior sisters. The rule of the one who has achieved success being the teacher is not suitable here.

The speed of a normal cultivator flying with a flying weapon cannot match that of a sword cultivator of the same level who can combine his body and sword to perform sword energy and thunder sound, but the Samsara Banner in Lu Cheng's hand is of a special grade.

The sixth-rank medium-grade magic treasure was refined with the divine nature of the Red Heart God, so it was extremely mysterious. A black gas swept through the air and chased the direction of the ghost car.

During the pursuit, Lu Cheng gradually verified that what his third uncle Mie Hongzi said was true.

The bird-like demon king was gifted with the ability to fly into the sky and disappear into obscurity, but now he was being followed by himself and couldn't get rid of him. This was already telling.

"Given the habits of the demon king, it will be very poisonous and will devour a large number of mortals to dilute the poisonous blood. We should follow it from a distance and attack it with swords as soon as it shows any signs of falling."

Mie Hongzi was just stubborn, but she didn't really want to die. During the flight, she took out five or six bottles of high-level elixirs, poured them out and swallowed them together.

High-level alchemists and spiritual doctors are well versed in the relationships between elixirs and know which elixirs can be taken together.

Mie Hongzi does not have any of these immortal arts to rely on. She is so familiar with them purely through the accumulation of desperate experience. Even so, the poison accumulated in her body is not light.

However, the ghost infant and the primordial infant, the magic power and physical body of this life will sooner or later be beheaded and abandoned, so the accumulation of poison will be accumulated, and it is good that the poison does not become fatal.

The ghost chariot flew away in front, and Lu Chengyu's reincarnation banner chased after it.

Gradually, the demon bird in front changed direction several times in an attempt to get away, but it was poisoned and Lu Cheng was good at chasing it. The longer the time dragged on, the heavier the poison wounds on the ghost body became.

Just when the two men were about to catch up with the Ghost Car, suddenly a sky full of sword energy fell from the sky, trapping Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi, making it difficult for them to escape.

Sword energy, continuous and sharp sword energy that stretches thousands of feet!

Those extremely sharp sword energies seemed to transform into thousands of snake shadows, crisscrossing and entwining in the air, biting everything they could touch.

Lu Cheng instantly became invisible with the Wheel of Reincarnation Banner, while Mie Hongzi summoned his own immortal sword, Po Jun, and launched a frontal attack without giving an inch, meeting the sword energy that was swooping down from mid-air.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

The sword energy collided, bit, and annihilated each other. Mie Hongzi quickly sensed the sword intent contained therein, which was extremely familiar to her.

"Jian Li, you are not dead!"

"Hahahaha, what's the matter, Elder Miehongzi really hopes that I'm dead?"

The sword energies of both sides canceled out, and in front of Lu Cheng and Mie Hongzi who reappeared, there appeared an old man in a black robe with exposed skin and flesh that was extremely withered and decayed.

"Uncle Master, be careful. This person seems to have been deceived by the ghost car illusion and his mind has lost control."

When Lu Cheng saw the person in front of him, a faint green light appeared in his eyes and his expression was strange. He had a vague guess in his mind and sent a thought to Mie Hongzi.

"Since we are safe and sound, why didn't Elder Jianli chase after the ghost car, but instead stopped us here?"

How could Mie Hongzi not know that there must be something strange about Jian Li, who should have died under the claws of the Ghost Chariot, stopping here? But he still asked this question with a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Hahahaha, why? Because I have thought it through... Being able to survive is better than anything else!"

Suddenly, Elder Jianli controlled his flying sword and slashed out, and a powerful sword energy swept over like a raging tide.

The sword technique of sword energy and thunder sound seemed to tear the space apart with this force, and the sword rainbow made a sharp whistle and was left far behind.

"The demon god is destroying the world and nothing can stop it. The Ghost Car Patriarch has promised to let me live and rebuild the Hidden Sword Palace. By that time, I will be the founder of the Hidden Sword Palace!"

It is impossible for Yuanying Zhenjun to be easily persuaded with his determination. However, Jianli, the elder of Cangjian Palace, has problems with his character due to the practice of martial arts. He is afraid of life and death and is invaded by Guiche's illusion.

At this moment, it would be more accurate to say that he is a puppet of the Demon God Ghost Chariot rather than a Yuanying True Lord.

This may not be what he really meant, but his mind was controlled by fear.

The only difficulty in life is death!
Seeing this, Lu Cheng and his third uncle did not retreat but advanced. The swords of both sides collided, and there was an earth-shaking sound of metal clashing.

Above the sky, sword energy shot out in all directions, tearing the clouds apart.

The next moment, Lu Cheng withdrew his sword and disappeared again. When the Jindan fights the Yuanying, it is necessary to create the following conditions: the enemy cannot attack me, but I can attack the enemy; all the energy in my body converges into one point, and the point breaks the surface.

These are difficult to do, but if you can't do these, there is no question of challenging higher levels and challenging all living beings with your sword in the world of immortal cultivation.

In a head-on confrontation, the only way for a Jindan to defeat a Yuanying is if a Jindan cultivator at the peak of his physical condition fights a Yuanying cultivator in close combat, but the chances of winning are actually not very high.

Of course, if one has mastered the super-level Taoist technique like Samadhi True Fire or the Innate Qi Grabbing Technique like Lu Cheng, one can also perform well in cross-level combat.

The reason why Lu Cheng assisted in taking on the first sword attack was just to reduce the pressure on his third uncle Mie Hongzi.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Lu Cheng's figure suddenly disappeared, and the dangerous aura was getting closer and closer, Mie Hongzi's side was unable to attack for a while, Elder Jianli frowned slightly.

He wanted to change his position by using his sword, but suddenly a glass hand appeared above his head, and it pinched all kinds of mysterious spells and slapped it down. The five elements of energy between heaven and earth rose and fell like the tide, like a cage.

"Innate Qi Great Grasping?! How could you cultivate to this level?"

Sensing a breath that was threatening enough, Elder Jianli merged his sword with his sword, transformed it into a sword escape, and quickly retreated.

As one of the few high-level cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm, Elder Jianli knew Lu Cheng's background. Although he was known as Lu Zhenjun, he had not yet truly cultivated his Nascent Soul.

However, this innate qi catching technique has been cultivated to the sixth level. Even Gu Taixu of the innate school may not have this level of skill.

The bombardment of the Five Elements Handprint greatly reduced Elder Jianli's room for maneuver. Lu Cheng's figure, which had been appearing and disappearing, suddenly appeared beside him. The Five Elements Hammer that had been gathering momentum in his hand turned into a hammer shadow that suppressed the sky. The power of the Five Elements of green, red, white, yellow and black gathered to form five invisible Five Elements mountains that smashed down continuously.

Every time a punch lands, the magic power condenses like the impact of a mountain.

The Xiantian School is devoted to Qi training, and the most important thing is sincerity and dedication, while Lu Cheng is concentrating on the three treasures of spirit, Qi and spirit, tempering and integrating them into a perfect harmony. The difference is more than three times, and of course the difficulty of entry is greatly increased. Moreover, Lu Cheng's transformation of the Five Elements Sword Intention into the Five Elements Law Intention has been studied for two hundred years, which is something that Gu Taixu of the Xiantian School cannot have. He may not have comprehended the Law Intention earlier than Lu Cheng, and his comprehension of the Law Intention may not be deeper than Lu Cheng. In addition, the difference in their understanding and fate has caused such a huge difference today.

Mie Hongzi was directly restraining Elder Jianli's sword attack, and when he saw his nephew Lu Cheng had already gotten close, he suddenly burst out with sword energy and attacked head-on, creating more opportunities for Lu Cheng to attack.

"After all, I am just a real person. It is not that easy to kill me."

Elder Jianli's expression changed slightly and he opened his mouth. A small golden-green bell suddenly flew out, floated to his side, and spread a golden spiritual light, covering his body.

Every time Lu Cheng's figure appeared and disappeared under the Samsara Banner, his heavy blows were blocked by the golden spiritual light. Moreover, along with the continuous and violent impact, the small golden-green bell would vibrate violently, spreading sound waves and shaking the monks' minds.

Lu Cheng did not dare to be enveloped and controlled by the sound waves. If he delayed for a moment in front of a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, his physical body would definitely be killed.

Therefore, he could only use the Fire Escape to retreat suddenly, and then return after the sound waves dissipated. Naturally, the frequency of the attack was greatly reduced.

"A sixth-rank defensive magic weapon? Although it is only a low-grade one, when combined with Elder Jianli's own Nascent Soul magical power, it is completely equivalent to a sixth-rank mid-grade defensive magic weapon. Moreover, it is really difficult to deal with with both offensive and defensive capabilities."

The Jindan cultivators in the Tongxuan world have extremely powerful Jindan true qi after their elixirs become top-grade. After being promoted to the Yuanying realm, Lu Cheng calls this true qi the Yuanying supernatural qi, which itself has very strong power. It is equivalent to that every cultivator in the Tongxuan world has one more natal magic weapon that can be used for attack and defense, and it is even more practical than the cultivators in other realms.

However, after the Taoist traditions from other worlds are introduced in the future, the ancient Taoist tradition of the Tongxuan world that condenses the Earthly Evils and Heavenly Gang to overcome the forty-nine tribulations will probably gradually disappear.

The reason is simple. After all, the purpose of practicing Taoism is to seek immortality. In the Taoist tradition before the Tongxuan world, the vast majority of Jindan Zhenren, under the suppression of the forty-nine calamities, had an average lifespan of less than 500 years and died under heaven's punishment.

To take such a risk for a powerful divine power to protect the Dao, and to endure the scorn of the heavens, is putting the cart before the horse.

Lu Cheng almost turned into a five-colored rainbow of light, advancing and retreating suddenly, constantly attacking Elder Jianli's protective magic weapon.

After possessing a sixth-rank magical flying sword, the combat power of the cultivators in this world has increased by more than 20% to 30%. Lu Cheng killed Fei Hanyu of Beichen Sword Gate in just a few moves. Today, his level of continuous attack would definitely not exceed that of Fei Hanyu. Even with more than ten blows in one breath, he was unable to break through the defense.

On the other hand, Elder Jianli's swordsmanship was like a tsunami, a landslide, and the rise and fall of the vast ocean. It was not only incredibly powerful, but also varied, and it encircled Mie Hongzi, forcing her to remain highly alert at all times.

By killing Lu Cheng and the seriously injured Mie Hongzi, Jian Li might really be able to get the reward from the Demon God and preserve the Taoist tradition of Cangjian Palace.

“But is that Cangjian Palace still Cangjian Palace? The sword is hidden in my heart, cutting off my hesitation, fear, weakness, and cowardice. This heart and this sword are unstoppable!”

The sword cuts the flesh, and the heart cuts the ghosts and gods.

The sword rainbow that suddenly aroused around Taoist Miehongzi was vast and boundless, extremely sharp and pure. The platinum-colored sword light slashed out from his body, and in an instant it was as if the wind from the sky was raging, as if the entire cloud sky was swept by the endless wind that was suddenly cut through.

In an instant, the sword lights and sword energy of both sides intertwined into a huge net, covering the entire sky.

The sword shadows were like shuttles, the sword intent was like the tide, and the sword techniques of both sides drew brilliant tracks in the air, magnificent and splendid.

Elder Jianli originally wanted to kill Mie Hongzi, whom he was more familiar with, first. This man was seriously injured, and his character was one of those who would rather break than bend and would only advance and not retreat.

After killing this man, Lu Cheng, the leader of the Western Demon Cult, would definitely want to retreat. At that time, it would be easy for him to fight or flee.

However, Elder Jianli understood but still underestimated the strong character of Mie Hongzi. She truly lived up to the four words "hiding the sword in the heart".

Taoist practice focuses on the word "nature". Even if one's nature is insufficient in this life, if one practices well for a hundred years to change one's nature, one may have a chance to achieve enlightenment in the next life.

Mie Hongzi, by keeping the sword in his heart, transformed the words "courage and determination" into his own nature.

The sword energy of both sides was fighting against each other and continuously rising. At this moment, Elder Jianli had no choice but to follow, because while he understood Mie Hongzi, Mie Hongzi also understood his sword style and swordsmanship.

After all, Mie Hongzi was seriously injured. If the two sides fought to the death, Jian Li would have a greater chance of survival in the end, or at most they would die together.

However, Lu Cheng was nearby at this moment, and his grasp of the opportunity to fight was unmatched in the world.

He burst out with magic power at the same time, and used the Meridian-Severing Sword Qi Technique, regardless of the damage that the magic power might cause to his own body, and delivered three heavy punches in succession.

Lu Cheng's physical cultivator was very powerful in close combat. Another point was that he was never afraid of damage to his body. As long as he was still alive with a breath and his soul was still there, he could revive under the Samadhi True Fire. This alone made him surpass 90% of the physical cultivators in the world.

The fist as strong as a mountain smashed hard into the golden light of Jian Li's protective magic weapon.

Clang, Clang, Clang!
In the void, there were sounds of violent collisions of fine steel, and ripples in the void continued to spread.

With the first punch, golden light cracked.

With the second punch, the golden light shield covering Jian Li was shattered, and the small lapis lazuli bell beside him also exploded.

With the third punch, Jian Li risked his internal injuries and forcibly broke free from the sword force of Mie Hongzi. He became one with the sword and retreated suddenly.

However, the point where his sword light landed was right under a fist that was as hard as jade.

It was like a steel pillar and a heavy hammer hitting the spine of the flying sword. With a clang, the flying sword cracked and Jian Li suddenly broke away from the state of unity between man and sword.

But in the next moment, Lu Cheng threw out a fourth punch, which blew up his body with a loud bang, and the Nascent Soul that had been cultivated for hundreds of years suddenly collapsed.

With the exploding blood mist as the center, the surging sword energy and some mysterious aura were all swallowed up into the blood formation above the sky.

"Third Master, are you okay?"

Lu Cheng came to Mie Hongzi's side and supported the female nun who was about to fall. At the same time, the mana infusion also sensed the current state of Mie Hongzi's body.

The Nascent Soul was illusory, and it was almost impossible to condense its spirit and form. It was obvious that the explosive sword energy method just now would not be without cost.

"It's okay, keep chasing the ghost car."

Mie Hongzi took out the pill bottles again, poured out several different pills, and then swallowed them together. Lu Cheng could clearly see that Mie Hongzi's face had turned blue, and he was only one step away from being poisoned to death by the pill poison.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Cheng also saw what his third uncle was thinking. She obviously would rather die here than fail in her mission.

At the same time, among the barren mountains, thousands of beasts were running and surging. Yun Huang'er, who was one of the three heroes and two clouds in the past, was now cautious and pale.

Hiding in a deep stone cave high up in the barren mountains, facing the thousands of monsters running and gathering, he didn't even dare to think about his original ambition to ride on his sword and eliminate demons between heaven and earth.

In this situation, being able to survive is already lucky enough.

"How did I end up in this situation? It's all your fault!"

Shrinking back into the deep stone cave, Yun Huang'er was furious when she saw Shi Sheng, who was dressed in simple clothes and meditating while holding a dark sword.

Several years ago, she was attacked by the overseas immortal Canglong Sou and was seriously injured. She was then rescued by this silly boy from a wild village.

After waking up, they were too badly injured to use their magic power for a while, and they were attacked by the mortals in the village. They were almost burned to death as monsters.

This fool risked his life to protect me, so that I could have a chance to recover some of my magic power. But in this case, I couldn't just abandon him after I recovered my magic power.

In the following years, Yun Huang'er and Shi Sheng experienced many stories together. Shi Sheng's extraordinary circumstances and good physique were completely beyond Yun Huang'er's imagination. She originally wanted to bring this silly boy back to Cangjian Palace or Xiantian Sect, but happened to encounter this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

The two were forced into the cave by a group of beasts, but unexpectedly discovered a Wanzai Yinzhu. This Wanzai Yinzhu miraculously reacted with a broken sword that the silly boy carried with him.
