Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 383 I have a sword, I can kill others and myself (Sorry, I admit I am a lazy dog, please subscribe!)

At the junction of the sea and the sky, the majestic outline of a huge city has emerged in the distance. A huge purple-flagged long boat is in front, held up by countless clouds, and behind it are hundreds of monks forming a formation like geese.

Years of war and killing have left the monks' robes covered with scorch marks, but their brows still cannot conceal the strong murderous aura.

"During this great heavenly fire catastrophe, only the team led by Master overcame all the difficulties and returned victoriously. These cultivators have grown a lot after this experience. Even the cultivators from the five sects have to accept Master's kindness."

On the Purple Cloud Boat, Shi Sheng said this while looking at the elite monks from the five sects behind him.

"Yes, in order to fight against this catastrophe of heavenly fire, Master's realm has been greatly depleted. Fortunately, we will be returning to the city soon. After this battle, we have basically saved enough money to exchange for various spiritual items." The beautiful nun rarely refuted her husband's words, but leaned lightly in Shisheng's arms, and her whole body's forced energy and spirit gradually relaxed.

Haiyuan City has already appeared faintly in the field of vision, right in front of us.

Suddenly, the red clouds in the sky rolled back and scorching fire waves descended from the sky, forcing the protective magic powers of many monks present below to ripple and for them to retreat in embarrassment.

"The Azure Palace hangs on the top of thousands of peaks, half of it is occupied by white cranes and half by me. The crane flies away into the clouds, and the shadow of a pine tree becomes a dragon and falls in front of the wine jar. An immortal occasionally stops his phoenix carriage and points to the cold pond and strokes the jade string. Where do I go to live? My collar is full of stars and half is full of stream smoke."

After a setting poem, a red-robed figure stepped out from the fire cloud. A Taoist with a face as red as a date held a red jade whisk in his hand, and the fire essence around his body condensed into several flaming dragons that circled around him.

He has an immortal air and is not tainted by the worldly atmosphere at all.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please stay." The red-robed Taoist's voice was like a loud bell, and with a light sweep of his whisk, he actually set up a red fire barrier around him.

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed.

"The good-for-nothing young man, Tianhuo, has a bad temper, but he is still loved by my ancestors. I hope you can help me take him back and discipline him."

After a moment, a ray of rainbow light emerged from the purple-flag boat and appeared in front of the red-robed Taoist the next moment.

Seeing the flaming clouds rolling in the sky and observing the aura of the old Taoist priest, Lu Cheng knew what was going on. He did not expect that after dodging for so many times, he was still one step behind and was intercepted before entering the city.

"During this period, all the True Lords who died in Haiyuan City were caused by you, right?"

"Hahahaha, fellow Taoist is indeed very capable, and his calculation skills are really superb. I was so eager to save my grandson that I couldn't help but use some heavy hands."

The Taoist in red robe in front of him has at least the magical power of the late Nascent Soul stage. In particular, his own aura is closely connected with the aura above the sky. I am afraid that ordinary great cultivators are no match for him. No wonder he was able to kill many human True Lords.

His magical powers are indeed unfathomable.

"...Fellow Daoist Lu, just release the Skyfire and let me take it away. I will let go of the past. What do you think?"

Seeing that Lu Cheng stopped talking, as if he was concerned about the life of the Skyfire Boy, the red-robed Taoist said this after a brief pause.

Their clan is small in number and it is difficult for them to develop wisdom. In particular, the Heavenly Fire Boy, although he has a violent temperament, he has good talent and is very much loved by the Holy Ancestor.

So at this moment, the red-robed Taoist priest was indeed willing to let Lu Cheng and others go for the safety of Tianhuo. Moreover, the Taoist priest in front of him was proficient in Yi Suan Dao and his origin was mysterious.

"...Well, I will give this Skyfire Boy to my fellow Taoist." After a moment of silence, Lu Cheng finally chose to take a step back.

The Skyfire Boy was sealed in the Demon Refining Pagoda and did not know many secrets about himself and his wife.

After this calamity, the Canglong Mountain lineage will hide in the mountains and practice to digest the nourishment they have gained. Perhaps the next time they come out of the mountains, it will be the time when the heavenly fire calamity comes again.

"Yuhong, Yuxue."

Lu Cheng called softly, and the Xiao sisters in the Purple Cloud Boat behind him naturally sacrificed the Demon Refining Pagoda, which fell into Lu Cheng's hands.

The red-robed Taoist stroked his beard and looked at the Demon Refining Pagoda covered with Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. He thought to himself, "No wonder Tianhuo, who has an immortal body, still suffered a loss and couldn't even escape. Magical weapons like this are indeed extremely restraining to our clan."

Under the Holy Ancestor of Fiery Flame, only the gold-gnawing fire ants that have developed intelligence are considered a clan. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, they can go to the Holy Ancestor's seat to attend classes. Other gold-gnawing fire ants, the red-robed Taoist priest, and the Heavenly Fire Boy do not regard them as the same race as themselves.

Lu Cheng also knew the mantra to control the Demon Refining Pagoda, and with a slight pinch of his fingers, a ball of red light was released from the Demon Refining Pagoda. After circling and landing on the ground, it transformed into the image of a chubby boy, but his expression was a little tired and haggard.

All the demons in the Demon Refining Golden Tower will have their magic power drained away by various methods and suppressed to an extremely low level. The Skyfire Boy is released at this time, and his body will even occasionally transform into a swarm of gold-gnawing fire ants. They are actually a group of fire ants, condensing a unified spiritual intelligence.

It is truly a mysterious and incredible creation.

"Little thief, I am free today. We will have to settle our scores sooner or later..."

The Skyfire Boy was imprisoned for a short time, but his fierce temper did not change. He said the same thing in front of Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng smiled lightly upon hearing this, but didn't say much.

At this moment, the Skyfire Boy in front of Lu Cheng suddenly frowned slightly, then his nostrils twitched a few times and he looked at Lu Cheng in confusion.

Just this one glance made Lu Cheng feel a bad premonition in his heart.

Then, the Heavenly Fire Boy turned around and flew towards the red-robed Taoist priest.

At this moment, Lu Cheng's thoughts were working as fast as lightning. His expression changed slightly, and then he raised his hand and hit the Skyfire Boy on the back.

"what are you doing?"

The red-robed Taoist originally thought that the two parties had reached an agreement and the matter could come to a temporary end.

After all, in front of Haiyuan City, it is unclear whether the cultivators from the five sects will take action. If only a few people take action, it will be nothing. But if all five sects in Haiyuan City come out in full force, no matter how arrogant the red-robed Taoist is, he cannot guarantee that he can escape unscathed.

But who could have thought that the Taoist on the opposite side would suddenly attack.

"...Kill him! He is stealing the authority of the Holy Ancestor!"

Mysterious five-colored characters appeared in front of Lu Cheng's palm. With one strike of his palm, the Sky Fire Boy turned into a swarm of gold-gnawing fire ants. Then the pagoda in his left hand flashed with spiritual light, and he took the Sky Fire Boy back into it.

Lu Cheng also comprehended the Demon Refining Heart Sutra. Although this unique Buddhist and Taoist method could not be incorporated into the main practice method, it was not difficult to simulate one-third of its power with the five elements.

However, at this time, the Skyfire Boy had already transmitted his thoughts through the clan's secret method.

Hearing this, the red-robed Taoist's eyes glowed with golden light. He twisted his fingertips and the thousands of miles of clouds above the sky instantly condensed into an inverted vortex:
"Who are you? On whose orders did you steal the authority of our Holy Ancestor?"

Before he finished speaking, seventy-two red thunderbolts struck from the cloud vortex, and behind each thunderbolt were thousands of gold-gnawing ants.

Long before, the red-robed Taoist had already smelled the strong scent of gold-gnawing fire ants on Lu Cheng and others.

But this is normal. How could the human cultivators who could survive the heavenly fire not kill a large number of gold-gnawing ants?
Lu Cheng practiced the Thirteen Changes of Xuantian, integrating his skills with his body. The aura of the gold-gnawing fire ants on his body was hidden very well, so it was normal even if it was a little stronger than that of others.

But the Skyfire Boy, who had fought with Lu Cheng first, and then smelled an unusual odor at close range, made him judge that Lu Cheng was trying to steal control of the gold-gnawing ant colony - this was not wrong. If Lu Cheng could cultivate and advance to the seventh level of the Yuanshen realm, he could indeed rely on the Thirteen Changes of Xuantian to compete with the Fiery Saint and forcibly seize control of the ant colony.

The Skyfire Boy was deeply loved and favored by the Fiery Saint Ancestor, and he risked his life to send out this divine thought. At the same time, the red-robed Taoist also transmitted this divine thought to the sky through the connection between himself and the insect swarm.

Lu Cheng had no idea about this kind of thing, so naturally it was difficult for him to be prepared.

He reacted quickly at this moment, and with a gesture, the Five Elements Flying Swords flew out of their sheaths and turned into five long rainbows, circling gracefully. Wherever the swords passed, most of the lightning in the sky was detonated in advance. It was actually pure thunder magic.

"Since we've started, you should stay too." Lu Cheng performed the North Sea Kunpeng Dance, and his figure suddenly turned into a real and virtual afterimage.

Wherever he passed, the strong wind blew violently, and even the ferocious swarm of gold-gnawing fire ants could not get close to him for a while. However, Lu Cheng attacked him in front of the red-robed Taoist priest in an instant, so fast that it seemed like teleportation.

Just at this moment, there was a loud sound of metal clashing in the air. It turned out that the red-robed Taoist stretched out his hand and swung it. A golden long mace broke through the air and attacked. The fire patterns engraved on the mace lit up one by one, and each pattern spewed out white and red real fire.

The sixth-ranked innate magic weapon, "Lihuo Gilded Mace", is best at using strength to defeat strength and to overwhelm others with force.

The nests of the gold-gnawing fire ants are made entirely of high-quality metal ores. They devour gold and iron, and then refine and expel them through their own fire spiritual power. Slightly weaker metals are refined into slag. Lu Cheng once thought of taking the insect nests in the Jiuli Ding and refining them into flying swords to cultivate them. The red-robed Taoist's natal magic weapon was refined with untold hardships, so of course it wouldn't be bad.

"No, my body can't bear the force if I fight hard. I have to relieve some of it first."

Lu Cheng was surrounded by a violent hurricane and suddenly retreated, with the Lihuo Gilded Mace chasing closely behind him.

Under the influence of the fire from the golden mace, the hurricane around Lu Cheng seemed to be gradually ignited, but the flames gradually condensed into grains of sand and turned into magic sand that blocked the two sides.

The Five Elements changed, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth. Lu Cheng used Kunpeng's wood spiritual power to draw on the power of the ancient fire dragon, and then took over the Sun-Swallowing Ape's transformation to create the Sunset Divine Sand.

If one had not cultivated and controlled one's own magical power to an incredible level, such continuous changes in the circulation of magical power would be almost impossible to achieve in an instant.

Behind the Taoist, an image of a giant golden ape roaring towards the sky seemed to suddenly appear.

Then, a seal appeared in Lu Cheng's hand, which slammed into the side of the Lihuo Gilded Mace. The Yuanshi Tianmo Seal was a combined attack technique of the Dharma and body.

boom.

With sparks scattering everywhere, the golden mace spun and flew out. However, Lu Cheng was also blown back a long way by the huge impact force.

However, the red-robed Taoist priest in the distance didn't care. His magic weapon was thick-skinned and tough, and was not afraid of being hit hard.

Moreover, while Lu Cheng was dealing with the Lihuo Gilded Mace, he was also casting spells quickly. This person could be called the master of magic in their clan.

"Great! Let's see how this moves works!" The red-robed Taoist put his palms together and behind him appeared a red cave with surging magma, the Nascent Soul Magical Realm, and a world of fire.

"Roar, Roar, Roar!"

Along with terrifying roars, three gigantic fire dragons that seemed to be able to burn the sky and destroy the world flew out from the cave.

The streams of fire that burst out from the gaps between the dragon scales turned out to be seal characters of the Fire Scripture upon closer inspection. Under the cover of the three fire dragons, Lu Cheng suddenly felt the magic power around him boiling and about to burn. The sound of thousands of fire spirits chanting scriptures seemed to ring in his ears, and his skin began to turn an abnormal red.

The Heart Fire Taoist Scripture, the devil flame that burns the heart!
But at this moment, Lu Chengfeng suddenly stood in front of Lu Cheng, blocking the three flying fire dragons. Behind him appeared a Buddhist guardian deity with a green face, fangs and many arms on his back, and he cooperated with his own Dharma body to fight three alone.

"Husband, we are here to help you!"

Lu Cheng is not alone. On the other hand, although the red-robed Taoist has many strong men, they are scattered across the sky, each guarding one part, so how can they gather together at once?

"Five Elements Sword Diagram, unfold!" Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er cast a spell at the same time, and the Hundred-foot Sword Diagram unfolded from their sleeves. Thousands of sword energies transformed into a five-colored interwoven net that enveloped them, intending to contain them.

The Xiao sisters worked together to summon the Demon Refining Pagoda, delivering a powerful attack that even a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage had to be a little afraid.

The golden pagoda swelled in the wind, becoming larger and larger, and then fell down.

There were five-colored sword lights all around, and a demon-refining pagoda above his head, but the red-robed old Taoist's robe moved without wind, and nine red jade rings flew out from his sleeves to form a formation: sky fire spreading across the prairie.

"Nine Heavens Sky Fire, obey my orders!" The old Taoist's originally normal hair and beard turned completely red at this time, and a blazing white light suddenly erupted with him as the center, which made the sky and the earth dwarfed.

Within the range covered, the entire wasteland began to collapse, the poisonous fire in the earth's core turned into millions of fire snakes rushing out, and the clouds in the sky condensed into a wave of flames covering a thousand miles and poured down. The fire of heaven and earth was all in a single command.

boom.

As the flames grew stronger, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger's Five Elements Sword Diagram, as well as the Demon Refining Pagoda, were all dispersed by the extremely powerful flames.

The most terrifying thing was that casting spells at this time did not affect the old Taoist's ability to continue to control the Lihuo Gilded Mace with his spiritual sense. The golden mace would fly down from the air from time to time, and fight with Taoist Lu Cheng who was driving the Yuanshi Tianmo Seal with the power of his Dharma body, causing the clouds in the sky to roll, the mountains to collapse, and the rocks to crack.

When the golden mace fell frequently, Lu Cheng often didn't even dare to take it head-on, but changed his body shape to relieve its force.

"Form the Xuanyin formation!" Miao Chuyun's clear shout resounded throughout the battle formation. More than 800 cultivators stepped on the Gangdou formation, and dozens of Xuanyin long banners rose up amid the cries of ghosts from the underworld.

A series of mysterious chains stretched out and whipped the old Taoist in red robe.

The reaction speed of Miao Chuyun and others was already fast, and she had already begun to secretly give instructions to arrange the formation when the red-robed old Taoist showed up, otherwise, they would never have been able to react so quickly.

There is already a big gap in the speed of spiritual thoughts between low-level cultivators and high-level cultivators.

"With such insignificant skills, you dare to raise your claws to me?"

Taoist Huoyun laughed out of anger, and the Fire Realm appeared again behind him, with the image of a giant fire ant faintly visible in it. As the mouthparts of the hundred-foot-long giant ant opened and closed, countless sparks turned into miniature fire ants, following the cultivators' breath and rushing straight to their seven orifices.

However, after several years of fighting, the cultivators had already learned about the various attack methods of the gold-gnawing fire ants. The Xuanyin Soul Refining Formation quickly changed its formation, and vast water energy gushed out from the void, but was evaporated into white mist in the moment it touched those tiny fire ants, and the two effects canceled each other out.

The nine Xuanyin chains pierced into the Liaotian Fire Array at this time, and actually eliminated 30% of the fire power around Taoist Huoyun.

However, this was already the limit of all the cultivators. The nine Xuanyin chains actually turned red and golden at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly burned along the chains.

"what!"

A scream was heard, and the cultivators present looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that it was Taoist Lu Cheng, who was pierced through the chest by a mace and screamed in pain.

"Ok?"

Even the red-robed Taoist priest himself, who was casting a spell to prepare a powerful magic, did not expect that Lu Cheng would die under his Lihuo Gilded Mace.

Although this is normal considering the magical powers of both parties.

But the old Taoist already regarded Lu Cheng as a disciple of Yuanshen. Where was the seventh-level spiritual talisman? Where was the spiritual treasure? Where was the guardian at this time?
It was at this moment that a great sense of danger suddenly emerged in the heart of the red-robed Taoist priest, because he had to rely on the power of the fire of heaven and earth. At this moment, he was standing on the ground. The next moment, a huge and ferocious golden-haired giant ape suddenly broke out from the ground, and with a violent punch, it broke all the magic power of the red-robed Taoist priest's protective magic circle.

At the Lihuo Gilded Mace, the Taoist who had been pierced through the chest turned into a dragon poison and quickly crawled away.

Although he was in the state of the Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape Transformation, Lu Cheng could still perform the boxing technique of the North Sea Kunpeng Dance. The fist shadows were as blazing as a hurricane, the wind helped the fire, and the fire helped the wind. It was as dense as a rainstorm, but the power was vigorous and fierce, eroding all directions with domineering majesty. The overflowing waves seemed to turn the surrounding hundreds of miles into a scorched earth purgatory.

“Haha…haha…haha, what a great boxing technique, very powerful, practicing both the magic and the body, it is indeed strong and powerful, and should not be underestimated!”

"But so what? I have an indestructible body. I can lose ten thousand times, but you... can't afford to lose even once."

Amid the roar of fist power that was like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, the red-robed Taoist's robe was almost torn to pieces, revealing a strange body with broken bones and lava flowing inside.

In the end, the fist penetrated into his body and could not be withdrawn any further. The sound of thousands of insects chirping came from the red-robed old Taoist's body.

The old man grabbed Lu Cheng's elbow with a grim smile, came close and whispered:

"What a body that is almost like a god! It just so happens that I haven't tasted meat for many years, so today I will devour you."

"I'm afraid that fellow Daoist doesn't have such a good stomach."

Lu Cheng opened his mouth, and a golden-red flame slowly lit up.

“Burn me with fire? Hahahahahahaha… Aaaaaaahh ...

At first he was laughing wildly, but when he was burned by Lu Cheng's Samadhi Fire, he suddenly burst into screams.

After Lu Cheng's innate Qi grasping technique was cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, although it was still a powerful magical power, it could no longer be called a super-level Taoist technique.

However, after his innate magical power, Samadhi True Fire, was cultivated to this level, it already had the power of a seventh-level offensive magic.

Under Samadhi, even immortals and gods cannot escape.

In other words, if an old ancestor of the Yuanshen sat here and allowed Lu Cheng to burn him with the Samadhi True Fire, he would be burned to death.

The ancestor of the seventh-level Yuanshen, his Yuanying has been cultivated to the same size as an ordinary person, with his soul and flesh integrated. He is not affected by any magic or spells in the mortal world, and cannot be harmed by anything.

The red-robed old Taoist's body of immortality against all insects had undoubtedly not been cultivated to the highest level of the soul. At least under Lu Cheng's Samadhi True Fire, his skin was soon burned to a crisp, and his flesh turned into a skeleton.

But at this moment, a huge shadow shrouded the Tiangang of the Fiery Realm. At the same time, a strong, fiery and indescribable magical power poured down from the sky and poured into the body of the red-robed old Taoist.

The body is caused to repeatedly burn and repair rapidly.

The Holy Ancestor of Fiery Flame, the Seventh Order Spirit Ancestor, although he did not show up, he finally intervened.

"On a narrow road, the one who is brave enough will win!"

A huge fear surged in his heart, but the next moment, Lu Cheng eliminated all the fear and timidity in his heart.

Mortals can cultivate to become immortals through: intelligence, prudence, kindness, self-control, virtue, etc., but what Lu Cheng cultivated was "courage and decision-making".

I have a sword, with which I can kill others and myself.

The third of Xuantian’s Thirteen Transformations, the Sword Demon Transformation.

A bright golden sword light suddenly appeared, and with a sharpness that could cut through everything and go forward without turning back, it slashed towards the sky.

The sword of Tongxuan can sweep away all things.

The golden sword light slashed on the red light column, and in a flash, it broke it. There may be a gap in magic power, but the sword intent and sword force carried by the sword light cut off the will of the Ant Ancestor to control this magic power.

"receive."

Pulling himself out of the sword light, Lu Cheng swung his sleeves downwards. The red-robed old Taoist, whose body was still burning with flames and who was screaming and crying miserably, was caught by the sleeves in unbelievable fear and despair, and never appeared in this world again, at least not in his current identity.

"Enter the city."

Lu Cheng stood still in the air, his Taoist robe fluttering in the strong wind, and gave the order.

The red-robed Taoist priest had just been taken into the Jiuli Ding by him. If he entered, he would live; if he did not, he would be burned to ashes by the Samadhi True Fire. Even if we ignore the power of the Jiuli Ding itself, the other party had no other choice of survival.

Even if he is loyal to the Holy Ancestor of Fiery Flame, it is impossible for such an existence to risk his life for it.

The surrounding fire realm suddenly collapsed.

Haiyuan City and even many directions in all directions were filled with prying divine senses, but Taoist Lu Cheng had an exhausted and pale face, and no one dared to look at him as he stood in the air.

The more I know about what just happened, the more I dare not do it.

"In the battle of Primordial Spirits, even the Fiery Saint Ancestor retreated. Could it be that this fellow Daoist Lu was born in one of the ten great Primordial Spirit Sects?"

"It's hard to say. Among the ten great sects of the Yuanshen Sect, there is indeed a tradition of true disciples hiding their identities and traveling around the worlds. The disciples under the sect all have deep roots, and the wives and concubines around them all achieved enlightenment through the practice of Ghost Infant Pills. They have such a rich fortune, why are you trying to test him?"

"Canglong Lingshan, 10 billion Lingshi, this person just took it as he said, why can't we even try it?"

"Don't get involved. I'm afraid this is a fight between the Yuanshen ancestors. If you and I get involved, it will probably be a disaster rather than a blessing."

In Haiyuan City, several spiritual consciousnesses quickly contacted and exchanged information, and soon reached a consensus. The Nascent Soul ancestors of the sixth-tier sects often achieved their accomplishments with the entire sect's strength. After refining the Nascent Soul, they naturally had responsibilities towards the sect. If it was a sixth-tier sect with a shallow foundation, once the Nascent Soul ancestor died, the entire sect would even decline rapidly.

Those who practice Taoism emphasize cutting off worldly ties in order to benefit their path, but how can many ties be cut off so easily?
