Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 380: Controlling the divine calculations and predicting the unpredictable, bringing disaster to the people (Please subscribe!)

The aroma of smoke curled up in the Jinting Fairy Palace of Canglong Mountain. Lu Cheng lowered his eyes and fiddled with the teacup on the table. The celadon lid and the rim of the cup made a slight crisp sound when they touched each other.

Behind the Taoist priest, Shi Sheng and Yun Huang'er stood with a whisk and a sword in their hands respectively. The golden hairpin in Yun Huang'er's hair trembled slightly with her breathing, reflecting tiny spots of light in the sunlight.

In less than two months, with just a few actions, he became the second-ranked cultivator on the Monster Hunting List. Of course, this was due to the fact that the previous True Lords had consumed a huge amount of merit and their rankings had dropped, but the benefit was still enough to make people excited.

Monks practice Taoism and pursue immortality, so how can they not encounter disasters?

Instead, we should consciously train ourselves so that we will not be completely defenseless when we really encounter a life-and-death catastrophe.

Therefore, during this period of time, both the Yuanying Zhenjun of the five sects and the independent cultivators all had the intention to gather their forces and face the Heavenly Fire Tribulation again.

Of course, there are also experienced and prudent people among the five factions who prefer stability. They only want benefits and want to minimize the risks.

So, early in the morning of that day, Wan Feiyu from Raolong Sect, Pan Ziang from Fuhai Sect, and Feng Dong from Changle League came together with their visiting cards.

"Master Lu."

In the hall, Pan Ziang from Fu Hai Sect was the first to break the silence. He tapped the green jade contract on the table with his fingertips and said, "The five sects have proposed to dispatch their true disciples to serve under the command of the True Lord. Is that correct?"

"Master Pan, do you know that the heavenly fire disaster struck three more places last night?" Lu Cheng suddenly raised his head and interrupted the other party. The residual red-gold light from his Fire Pupil and Golden Eyes technique was still flowing in his eyes.

"The sky fire is killing. If it cannot be stopped, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed or injured. If you use the secret "Six Jia Dividing Water Secret" of your Fu Hai Sect to calculate the stars last night, you will know that it is a very bad astronomical phenomenon."

Pan Ziang's Adam's apple rolled when he heard that. Under the pressure from the other party, his robe on his back was soaked with cold sweat. He couldn't help but look at his good friend Wan Feiyu who came with him, but he didn't expect that the man opposite him was staring at his nose and his nose was watching his heart, without saying a word.

The seemingly casual words of the Taoist Qingya in front of him were actually hinting at the disadvantages of Fu Hai Sect in defending the city.

After a while, Pan Ziang could only force a smile and said, "Master, you are joking. This sect..."

"I never joke about fate with others." Lu Cheng flicked the teacup with his fingers, making a sound like striking gold and jade.

"Every time a heavenly fire disaster strikes, Haiyuan City's luck will be exhausted by half. Although we cultivators are high above, without mortals as the foundation, your thousand-year foundation will probably be nothing more than a mirage."

"Thank you for your correction, Master. I am grateful for your guidance."

In the end, both sides got what they wanted. Lucheng obtained nine hundred elite monks from the five sects, and Haiyuan City and Changle League also got a certain share of the profits.

It’s just that because Pan Ziang has been suppressed in terms of quota, it is of course beneficial to the cultivators of Canglong Mountain.

The three of them left Canglong Mountain. After Wan Feiyu and Pan Ziang parted ways with Feng Dong Zhenjun of Changle League, Pan Ziang finally couldn't help but complain:

"Old Wan, you didn't say a word to help me just now, and watched me suffer alone, so what are you doing here? Now that the contract is signed like this, how are we going to explain to the sect leader when we go back?"

"What do you want to tell me? When our master sent you and me to talk to Master Lu, he didn't think of taking advantage of the contract. Besides, isn't there Master Fengdong? You blame her for everything. What can we say to these two masters?"

Compared to Pan Ziang's worry, Wan Feiyu seemed calm.

"Then why are we here?"

"Sign the contract, and observe the closeness of the relationship between Changle League and Canglong Mountain Jinguang Cave. Anyway, I have the answer. Don't you have it yet?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Pan Ziang looked at Wan Feiyu in astonishment, but saw that the other party smiled and then turned around and drove away.

Led by Miao Chuyun, Xue Yuzhen, Yun Linger, Shi Sheng, Yun Huanger, Yuwen Zheng, and Wu Lingjun served as the core cultivators, and together they trained the nine hundred true cultivators of the five sects.

Of course, most of them are not in the Purple Mansion Realm, most of them are in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The five sects in Haiyuan City are all powerful Nascent Soul sects. Each sect has a registered population of tens of millions, but each sect has only about 50,000 disciples, and the vast majority are Qi training disciples, numbering tens of thousands.

There are more than 2,000 to 3,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators, about 400 Purple Mansion cultivators, more than ten Jindan Grandmasters, and two to five Nascent Soul True Lords.

Even though there are many people and the sect is big, each realm of cultivators has their own duties. Excluding those who are not good at fighting, there are only two hundred Purple Mansion cultivators, five Jindan Grandmasters, and seven hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators among these nine hundred people.

Fortunately, even though they are all foundation-building cultivators, the sect's foundation-building cultivators are often stronger than the independent cultivators, especially those selected disciples.

After all, Haiyuan City did not send them out to die under the heavenly fire disaster.

His foundation in Taoism, profound magical powers, magical instruments and elixirs are obviously much stronger than those of the casual cultivators in Haiyuan City.

Fortunately, Shi Sheng, Yun Huang'er, Yuwen Zheng, and Wu Lingjun were all very capable people. After a few days of negotiations, they were able to subdue those Jindan cultivators from the five sects.

That is why the entire Haiyuan City is secretly spreading the rumor that the cultivators living in the Jinting Immortal Palace in Canglong Mountain probably have a Yuanshen sect behind them. Otherwise, how could any real person have such powerful magic power?

During this period of time, several teams of cultivators left Haiyuan City to prepare for the Heavenly Fire Disaster. There were indeed Yuanying Zhenjuns who led the group of cultivators and successfully resolved several Heavenly Fire Disasters.

Saving countless lives is also a merit.

On the peak of Canglong Mountain where the Golden Light Cave is located, Taoist Lu Cheng observed the sky with the Fire Pupil and Golden Eye technique, and from time to time he stretched out his left hand and calculated quickly with his five fingers.

This is the Heavenly Demon Algorithm. Through various calculations, it measures all things in the world and the operation of the heavenly mechanisms, which naturally includes the observed dispatch of the gold-gnawing fire ant colony. It can know ten things from one thing and the big picture from the small.

Different from the way of Yishu, it directly peeks into the infinite future to get answers.

The Tianmo algorithm is closer to the so-called "controlling the divine calculations and predicting the unpredictable", which is to calculate and measure according to the general laws of the development of things through known conditions. It is like pushing a large stone from the top of the mountain. As long as other variables remain unchanged and the angle is tilted enough, it will roll to the bottom of the mountain.

Lu Cheng did not like the Taoist methods of Yishu and Yi calculation, because according to the Taoist books he had read, excessive Yi calculation would damage one's luck. Even if the Tianmo calculation method was closer to calculation than Yi, it would still consume a great deal of one's energy and even effort.

Therefore, unless he was in a sudden impulse or had some kind of divine connection with his mind, Lu Cheng would never use the Heavenly Demon Algorithm lightly. This skill could almost be regarded as one of his most powerful abilities.

The external sword technique in the innate magical power Tongxuan Sword is based on this technique.

He had to calculate more during this period of time, but fortunately his mental strength, energy and blood flow from his dual cultivation of magic and body were able to hold on.

"Pass on my decree that you must arrive twelve thousand miles to the east in one day. No delay is allowed."

Lu Cheng took back his right hand and waved his sleeves. From his sleeves, golden light flowed out and gathered into a Taoist boy in white clothes. The Taoist boy saluted with both hands and said:
"promise."

This is naturally not a great method of incarnation, but it is just a human being formed by the combination of hundreds of poisonous golden silkworms. In essence, it is no different from the technique of making paper people and paper horses in the mortal world.

Soon, the Taoist boy conveyed this matter to all the disciples.

Within one day, they would reach Yandang Mountain, which was more than 12,000 miles away. It would be okay for Purple Mansion Golden Core cultivators, but it would be a bit difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if they could reach the destination, they would not have much mana left.

"Let Master Xiao borrow the Purple Cloud Boat. We will work harder and let these foundation-building cultivators take turns to travel. Those who have exhausted their mana can ride the Purple Cloud Boat. We can do this back and forth without any problems."

After receiving the message from the Taoist boy, Miao Chuyun, as the eldest senior sister present, said this after a little thought. Naturally, the others would have no objection to this.

One day later, the cultivators arrived at Yandang Mountain, only to find that there was a large mortal city in front and behind.

Lu Cheng and his disciples moved into a valley in the Yandang Mountains and lived there by digging a hole in the wall.

"Master, which city will be attacked?" Miao Chuyun asked as he entered the cave to pay his respects to his master.

"I don't know either. The algorithm points to this place, Yun'er. Sometimes you don't have to calculate the hexagram too clearly. A general direction is good enough. It's wrong to blindly rely on supernatural powers to defy fate, but trying to calculate all the secrets of heaven is just another dead end, isn't it?

When I was young, I was always competitive and aggressive. As I have practiced for many years, I gradually feel that being competitive and aggressive can help me win once or twice, but if I want to win in the long run, I need to be comprehensive in all aspects of the Tao. "

Miao Chuyun seemed to have some thoughts and realizations when he heard this.

Fourteen days later, a red flame appeared four thousand miles southwest of Yandang Mountain, and the sky seemed to be burning.

It was obvious that Lu Cheng had calculated wrong this time. At least, his calculation was not accurate.

This time, the heavenly fire did not attack the two cities near Yandang Mountain, but chose to attack a mortal settlement four thousand miles away.

In the Yandang Mountain, inside a stone palace deep in the valley, a Taoist priest was originally sitting on a stone platform, meditating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Although there was a dark cave in front of him, Lu Cheng could see four thousand miles away, blood-red magma flowing down like a crack in the sky, and all living beings were crying blood.

In front of the swarm of gold-gnawing fire ants, mortal beings and even monks of low and middle realms had no power to resist. The man in the house held on to the door tightly, but it was broken open. The mother in the house hugged her two children tightly, but was burned by the flames.

All the human sacrifices were killed and there were cries of grief.

"evildoer!"

Lu Cheng has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, but his nature has not been worn away, and he has not become a stone man without hatred or love.

At this moment, in anger, a sword intent suddenly rose into the sky with his body as the center, and like a substance, it tore apart the clouds around Yandang Mountain.

However, the swarms of insects four thousand miles away seemed to have sensed something.

They gathered together rapidly in the sky, forming a scarlet burning skull, with eyes burning with golden flames, and the bones opened and closed, making a sound like a child's:
"Human swordsman? Interesting, interesting!"

"Roar!"

The next moment, the red burning skull opened its mouth violently and spewed out a red rainbow of light.

The devilish fire cut through the sky like a spear.

Lu Cheng's Nascent Soul baby, sensing this, suddenly flew to the top of the Taoist's head, and then the entire baby quickly spread out.

Between heaven and earth, on Mount Yandang, the five colored vital energies of green, red, white, yellow and black seemed to slowly but quickly form a vortex of confusion. With the sudden appearance of the phantom of a Taoist priest, the five energies condensed and transformed into a dazzling sword light.

"go with!"

Clang.

A red light, a five-colored sword energy, the two lights tore through space and suddenly merged together, intersecting and forming a wrestling fight.

Boom, boom, boom. The two beams of light collapsed, shattered, and spread. Wherever the light passed, the rocks collapsed and the earth was torn apart.

"Huh? It's so powerful!"

Because he could roughly sense the opponent's magic power, while the huge skull was still in doubt, Lu Cheng had already taken back the Nascent Soul baby, merged his body with the sword light, and flew out of the cave:

"Demons are a scourge to the common people. Follow me, my disciples, to slay them."

"Disciple obeys the master's command."

"Disciple accepts the order."

Although the situation seemed a little different, after waiting for so many days, the demon finally attacked, and sword lights shot up into the sky from the mountain.

Lu Cheng's figure disappeared without a trace after a moment of sword escape. The Five Elements Flying Sword was the Sky Escape Killing Sword, and the killing intent became invisible.

Therefore, Miao Chuyun, Shi Sheng and others were not panicked at all.

At the forefront of the entire sword formation is a huge and majestic purple cloud flying boat, followed by dense and dazzling sword lights. Under the night sky, it looks like a silver dragon soaring in the sky.

"Under the seat of this Fiery Saint, the Heavenly Fire Boy, I will not kill you under my spear... Well, where is that Taoist priest with a big nose? What's going on? Why don't the old ones come out and let the young ones take the blame? Do you still have any shame?"

The words were still ringing in my ears when the next moment I saw a huge jade hand suddenly appear through the sea of ​​clouds, with five fingers open and pressing down.

It is clearly just a palm, but it reveals an extremely powerful, strong and tough aura, an innate state of mind that can suppress everything, a great innate energy to capture!

Lu Cheng's swordsmanship is refined and his sword energy transformation is wonderful, to the point where a flying sword is like an incarnation outside of his body. That is, he can use the Five Elements Qi to destroy the sword energy, and he can also make the sword energy transform back into the Five Elements Qi.

That’s right, one palm destroyed the top of the head.

boom.

The scarlet skull was extremely solid, not inferior to any sixth-grade top-grade defensive magic weapon. Lu Cheng's combined force of magic and body could only slightly shatter the skull's top. Dark red ripples spread, and cracks appeared.

But for someone, it was enough.

With the power of this palm, Taoist Lu Cheng's body instantly penetrated into the skull.

"Huh? How dare you come in? Why don't they bite you?"

Inside the crimson skull was a rather large space, and inside it was a plump, white boy with a pair of pigtails, pointing at Lu Cheng with a look of surprise.

However, what answered him was a strong fist that suddenly hit his cheek. Under the fist, the chubby white cheek twisted and changed in an instant, and some white teeth flew out.

Kunpeng dances in the North Sea.

This is Lu Cheng's most powerful boxing style that is most suitable for close combat.

As the Taoist waved his arms, two became four, four became eight, eight became dozens, and finally, heavy fists were coming from all directions. From the perspective of Heavenly Fire Boy, fists were coming from all directions at once.

Moreover, the Taoist's body shape was like an extremely violent hurricane, he struck faster and faster, more fiercely and more violently, and as his body flashed, ripples of strong wind like surging waves were visible to the naked eye in all directions.

At this moment, the Heavenly Fire Boy was certain that even if the gold-gnawing fire ants around him tried to bite him, they would not be able to get close to him under the strong wind.

"Isn't he a swordsman?"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…

A series of heavy blows with brutal, heavy and terrifying killing techniques caused continuous explosions, echoing in this originally spacious but now extremely small space.

The force of the punch came over like moving mountains and seas, making it completely impossible for the Skyfire Boy to breathe.

From the outside, the Xiao sisters, Miao Chuyun and others only saw the huge skull suddenly and continuously expanding, twisting, and deforming, and then... it exploded.

A blazing fire burned from it and soared into the sky, accompanied by a hurricane that connected the heaven and earth. As the void shook, a three-headed, six-armed demon that looked like a boy suddenly jumped out from it, crushing the clouds with his bare feet. The gold-gnawing fire ants that lingered around his body condensed into dark red heavy armor under the stimulation of the Nascent Soul magic power.

The boy's three faces showed anger, stupidity and madness respectively, and his six arms each held a lava spear, fire snake whip and other ferocious magical weapons. At this moment, he looked around in panic, trying to find Lu Cheng's non-existent figure.

"Where is that Taoist priest with an ox nose? Where is that Taoist priest with an ox nose?"

He gnashed his teeth and his face turned red with hatred, but he still couldn't find the Taoist priest.

The Skyfire Boy knew that the other party had superb escape techniques, and was helpless for the moment, so he could only rush towards the Purple Cloud Boat with the might of burning the sky and boiling the sea.

"I will kill all your disciples and followers, and I don't believe you won't come out!"

At this moment, the Xuanyin Soul Refining Array set up by the disciples of the five sects has taken shape. When the array was completed, the sky and the earth changed color in an instant. Nine black ice chains stretched out from the void, and each chain seemed to be engraved with extremely mysterious and magical talismans. Under the cover of the Yin-Yang array, a huge wave that seemed real and unreal rolled up in the void with it as the center, rolling and surging!
The combined magic power of the five sects' elite monks has more than doubled the overall might of the previous formation.
However, after the Skyfire Boy showed up, the vast horde of insects following him, now that they had a leader, actually set up all kinds of ingenious formations and fought against the Xuanyin Spirit Refining Formation.

The swarm of gold-gnawing fire ants that descended from Tiangang this time was much more numerous than when Wu Jincheng was there.

No matter what kind of demon it is, most of them will transform into human form after reaching a certain level of cultivation. This is their instinct. Some people say that this is because the Taoist ancestor is a human, while others say that it is a shortcut to human form.

Therefore, faced with the cute appearance of the Skyfire Boy, the Xiao sisters attacked without any hesitation.

Sometimes, the more beautiful the monsters are in appearance, the more ferocious and terrifying they are, because they often have profound magical powers. Ordinary monsters can change into human form, but they have many flaws.

A real big demon will not show even the slightest trace of demonic aura before eating a person.

"Buddhism and Taoism are different, suppressing demons and exterminating evil!"

The two sisters Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue were in tune with each other, and a seven-story pagoda rose into the sky from Xiao Yuxue's sleeves.

The golden roof was made of glazed tiles, the walls were made of giant clams and the decorations were red beads. Under the stimulation of the two people's magic formulas, the pagoda burst out with thousands of rays of light. The Taoist scriptures and Sanskrit words flowed on the tower body like living things swimming. It was a perfect blend, and only the goodness was taken to suppress the external demons.

The flying mysterious characters broke through the air, causing the Skyfire Boy to stagnate slightly. The violent red flames blasted out by the six magic weapons were crushed into pieces by the golden light of the pagoda. Of course, the Xiao sisters' Demon Refining Pagoda was also hit by the red flames and flew back.

The Xiao sisters took the pagoda back and retreated slightly. The Demon Refining Heart Sutra of the two of them could knock the four types of demons and monsters down to a smaller realm. It was indeed very powerful. Unfortunately, the magic power of the Xiao sisters was only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul in this life. Huang Longzi and Lu Cheng would not allow them to reincarnate and rebuild their magic power before the end of this life.

Doing so would mean wasting thousands of years of time and causing great damage to the path. With the qualifications of the two women, it would be almost impossible for them to cultivate to the great path of the spirit.

"Haha, you have some skills!" The central head of the Skyfire Boy suddenly opened into a bloody mouth, spewing out poisonous sand containing thousands of fire ants.

He knew very well that the longer the Taoist priest was allowed to hide, the more dangerous his situation would be.

The opponent seemed to be able to accumulate magic power by hiding in the void, but he could not even find him. If he made a rational calculation, he should choose to retreat at this time. However, at this moment, the Skyfire Boy was already filled with anger, and relying on his indestructible body, how could he be willing to retreat?

The Heavenly Fire Boy would never be willing to give in until he vents his anger.

The poisonous sand fell from the sky with incredible power. The Xiao sisters on the Purple Cloud Boat had already suffered a setback in their magic power and could no longer resist it. The other disciples were even less powerful. Normally, Lu Cheng should have appeared at this time.

However, this is not the case.

Because of a huge Dharma image, the entire Purple Cloud Boat was enveloped in an instant.

It was a guardian deity of Buddhism with a green face, fangs and many arms on its back. It blocked the poisonous sand in the sky. Although poisonous fire instantly ignited all over its body, the next moment a fierce magical power and magical intention enveloped the Heavenly Fire Boy.

The Secret of Tiansha Mingwang, Lu Chengfeng.

Anyone who cultivates the physical body must have a strong body. Most of them are good at escape techniques and most of them are good at hiding and bursting out. Lu Cheng and Lu Chengfeng both have typical characteristics of physical cultivators.

Because the strongest lethality can only be exerted in close combat, so you can either use advanced escape techniques to get close to your opponent, or hide and wait for your opponent to approach you on his own initiative.

Lu Cheng also knew that the difficulty of the sky fire catastrophe was difficult to accurately estimate in advance. He also knew that the cultivators from the five sects in Haiyuan City were not good-for-nothings. So in this case, how could he not bring Lu Chengfeng with him?

Once again he entered into close combat. Even if he had three heads and six arms, facing the extremely rare true physical cultivator, the Heavenly Fire Boy's strong close combat ability was still no match for him.

The two sides had fought for thousands of moves in an instant, and the body of the Skyfire Boy was almost torn into pieces, but at this moment he was only filled with rage, but not fear.

"You can't kill me. This is the indestructible Dharma body bestowed upon me by the Holy Ancestor. As long as I am still in the insect swarm... I will be immortal!"

The Skyfire Boy was not speaking nonsense, because at this moment the remaining swarms of gold-gnawing fire ants from all directions were continuously pouring into his body, turning into flesh and blood and repairing his injuries.

Although the Tiansha Mingwang Jue cultivated by the former furious monk Lu Chengfeng was powerful in close combat, it would eventually run out of power.

Realm affects magic power, and magic power also affects realm. Back then, Lu Chengfeng could not make a choice between Taoism and Buddhism, and he did not have the ability to take care of both lines of law, so he could not break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Now Lu Chengfeng has forced a breakthrough, and his state of mind has changed. He has obviously made a choice. At this moment, he is dressed in Taoist robes, with Tiansha in front and Mingwang behind: punishing on behalf of heaven, and stopping killing with killing!

"Brother Lu took action just to weaken you to the limit. Wanchong Bumie is indeed extremely powerful, but can't you be sealed and suppressed?"

Suddenly, behind the shattered and rapidly repairing body of the Skyfire Boy, the whispers of a Taoist priest appeared.

Lu Cheng had already mobilized his magic power. At this moment, he suddenly appeared in the void and pressed his palm on the back of the Skyfire Boy: "The second transformation, the Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape turns into the Sunset Divine Sand."

After the fifth transformation, Beihai Kunpeng became Kunpeng Dance, Lu Cheng was unable to perfectly connect with the most powerful magic, Sunset Divine Sand. It took a certain amount of time to slow down and accumulate magic, just like at this moment:
The divine sand that swept in from all directions continuously absorbed the fire nature of the Sky Fire Boy's physical body. The divine sand was so heavy that even the mana burst of the Sky Fire Boy's sixth level Nascent Soul realm could not disperse it.

When a sandstone figure appeared in the void, Lu Cheng whispered, "Yuhong, Yuxue!"

"receive!"

The Xiao sisters stood at the bow of the Purple Cloud Boat and the spells in their hands suddenly changed. A Tai Chi Yin Yang fish diagram appeared under the bottom of the Demon Refining Pagoda.

The remains of the Skyfire Boy, which had temporarily lost its regenerative power, was sucked into the tower by the black and white energy and reappeared on the fifth floor. The three heads were still roaring ferociously at the tower window. He, or it should be said, it, was certainly unwilling to give in.

Lu Cheng flipped his palm and slapped out a talisman, and mysterious tadpole-shaped inscriptions suddenly appeared on the body of the Demon Refining Pagoda, completely suppressing the roaring sound.

As the Sky Fire Boy was sealed up, the gold-gnawing fire ants around him suddenly lost their wisdom, and were swept up by Lu Cheng with the Sunset Divine Sand, and secretly swallowed into the Jiuli Cauldron within his big sleeves.
