Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 388: Body Cultivation is the ugliest, but its killing power is amazing; Whale Fall, Extermination

In ancient times, armies could surround a great fortress without attacking and bypass it. However, siege required more manpower than capture, and food could not be provided to the enemy. It also exposed the army's own food supply routes to the enemy. The larger the army, the more afraid it was of having its food supply routes robbed, and in that case it would collapse very quickly.

The war between immortal cultivators is the same, except that the dangerous city is replaced by a high-level spiritual vein. As long as the spiritual vein is occupied, the cultivators can use it as a base to build a formation, breathe in and out spiritual energy, and respond to each other:

A fifth-level formation connected to the earth veins can allow several Jindan cultivators to hold the place firmly, and one or two sixth-level demon kings will find it difficult to conquer it. A teleportation formation can allow the Jindan real people in an area to gather together, and use the advantage of numbers to besiege and hold back one or two sixth-level demon kings. Once several Yuanying real monarchs of the sect arrive, it will be time for them to surrender.

Similarly, a fifth- or sixth-level spiritual vein can save a million spiritual stones for an army of cultivators every day. If the spiritual vein is not occupied quickly and they rely entirely on the spiritual stone reserves of the five sects, a large-scale land reclamation war will soon cause the five sects of Haiyuan City to lose everything and become unsustainable.

No matter how great the demon hunting merit is, in the hands of a cultivator it cannot replenish mana as quickly as spirit stones.

Monster hunting merits are just a monetary supplement to spirit stones, and their value is supported by the authority of the five factions in Haiyuan City.

Xuanming Sea, where a group of ice-thorn demon whales gather and live.

A tiger shark was being teased and bitten by a group of fourth or fifth level ice-thorn demon whales. This kind of demon whale had been infected by demonic energy and was naturally bloodthirsty and murderous. It liked to kill living creatures with its ice thorns for fun, otherwise the word "demon" would not be included in its name.

In the midst of darkness, huge spirit boats came flying over.

When the Icethorn Demon Whales looked up and discovered these human giant ships, it was too late. Beams of light were shot down from the giant ships, directly killing the group of demon whales in this sea area.

These giant ships are equipped with fourth-order demon-slaying crossbows. Unless it is a fifth-order big demon, it is difficult for an ordinary fourth-order ice-thorn demon whale to pass through the shooting range of the demon-slaying crossbow. And even if it passes through, the strongmen and swordsmen on the giant ships will not be in a good state.

The bright red blood soon dyed a large area of ​​the sea red. The tiger shark monster that was originally doomed to die wanted to escape when it saw this, but was shot to death by a giant crossbow. In the eyes of the monks of Haiyuan City, these monsters should be killed regardless of their race.

At least this was the case before human cultivators gained absolute dominance.

At this moment, the dark red sea surface suddenly erupted like an underground volcano, boiling and rolling violently.

At this moment, Lu Cheng was sitting high in the middle of the deck of the giant Lingzhou ship. In front of him were groups of beautiful female cultivators with snow-white skin singing and dancing, and around him were strong men beating drums and playing music.

Sensing the evil spirit below, the Taoist looked downwards and saw what seemed to be flickering fire, and thus saw a huge shadow approaching rapidly from the deep sea.

boom.

"You are looking for death!"

Breaking out of the sea was a man in black Taoist robes, with a strong demonic aura. He was tall, mighty, and handsome, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"You are the one seeking death. How dare you touch the caravan of Haiyuan City?"

"Sword cultivators of the Golden Light Cave in Canglong Mountain, listen up! Kill!"

Miao Chuyun, carrying two swords on his back, stood at the front of the deck of the giant ship and shouted in a low voice.

The 3,400 foundation-building monks on the seven surrounding spirit ships all drew their swords and circulated their magic power to soar into the sky. Sky-blue lines emerged and connected to form a green dragon, which pounced on the Demon Whale King with its fangs and claws bared!

"My tribe attacked the caravan from Haiyuan City?"

The tall demon king was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to have done such a thing before.

In fact, they must have done it, but they may have done it one or two hundred years ago.

At that time, Haiyuan City was not strong, so they didn't say much about it, but now they want to attack you, one or two hundred years ago? A hatred formed one or two thousand years ago can also be a reason to send troops to attack.

This is the significance of accurately recording history, and in many cases it can be done with justification.

The battle of Xuanming Sea and the creation of living space for the human race have been secretly planned for many years by the cultivators of the five sects in Haiyuan City. They have done an excellent job in every aspect, such as forming alliances and secret covenants among the demon cultivators outside the Xuanming Sea, concealing the battle information, and refining a large number of Taoist weapon models.

The five sects in Haiyuan City are all powerful Yuanying sects. Each sect has a registered population of tens of millions, with more than 2,000 to 3,000 foundation-building cultivators. In addition to the cultivators recruited in secret, there are about 14,000 to 16,000 cultivators available for foundation-building.

This time they were going to war with the Sea Clan, so they secretly refined a large number of earth-based and wood-based magical instruments as a restraint. At this time, the three thousand wood-based sword cultivators under Lu Cheng were such an elite force. Although they were not sword cultivators, nor were they true Taoist soldiers, they were already a very strong fighting force.

Gather the weak to fight against the strong, and gather the magic power of the foundation-building monks to fight against the sixth-level demon king.

The Five Sects of Haiyuan City rely heavily on Lu Cheng, the Great True Lord of Jie Fa. Of course, the price they pay is also extremely high.

The green dragon bared its fangs and claws, and swooped over with a powerful wood energy.

A sharp sword energy was faintly spreading around his body. It turned out that Miao Chuyun had already hidden herself in it with her sword, controlling and coordinating the flow of magic power. At the same time, being able to fight with such a big monster in front of her was of great benefit to her sword skills.

However, the black-robed Demon King was not afraid. He stretched out his hand and threw a punch. In the void, a phantom of a dragon whale seemed to suddenly emerge, roared out, and collided head-on with the green dragon.

boom.

Most demon kings are those who practice both magic and body, and their magic power is extremely powerful. This demon also wears a Panlong magic ring on his right fist, which is a rare and painstaking work of demon weapon refiners, and can amplify the demon king's magic and body power.

So, boom, boom…

The huge magical powers collided with each other, and both sides suffered losses.

The black-clothed demon king fell back, but the entire green dragon in front of him also collapsed under the huge force of his dragon whale punch.

Three thousand four hundred foundation-building monks holding green swords appeared and fell back. Only Miao Chuyun in the center could still fly in the air, but he also needed to adjust his magic power.

The 3,400 foundation-building cultivators holding green swords can be said to be the strongest fighting force among the five sects in Haiyuan City. Of course, there are Purple Mansion, Jindan, and Yuanying cultivators above them, but these cultivators cannot form a large-scale battle formation. Therefore, the Taoist soldier formation formed by the 3,400 foundation-building cultivators can be regarded as the strongest battle formation force.

However, the Black Clothes Demon King transformed from the Ice-thorn Demon Whale had stabilized his body and recovered his form and spirit after falling back a certain distance.

"A group of low-level cultivators want to fight me by relying on their numbers? Jie Fa, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

Just as the black-clothed demon king was about to throw another punch.

Suddenly, a strong sense of danger arose in my heart.

A dark figure appeared behind him without anyone noticing. It was as fast as a gust of wind and lightning, and its force was like moving mountains and crossing seas.

Its back is as strong as Mount Tai, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It soars up to a height of 90,000 miles, breaking through the clouds and carrying the blue sky on its back. A huge shadow is cast from behind, blocking out the light of the sky and covering everything.

"what!"

A thick blood-red shield suddenly appeared behind the Demon Whale King, a sixth-level intermediate-grade defensive magic weapon, the Blood Cloud Shield.

boom.

The next moment, the thick shield was hit hard and flew away, spinning and rolling, like a heavy iron knife, cutting off the iceberg peak on the side.

Sword cultivators, body cultivators, thunder cultivators, and magic cultivators have all had the strongest people in this world, but among these lineages, body cultivators are the ugliest and have the weakest momentum.

But once one has mastered the skill, one’s tolerance for mistakes is the highest, and although one’s punches and kicks may look ugly, the destructive power contained in them is the most real.

boom.

The first punch disarmed the shield, but Lu Cheng did not break it. Instead, he consciously concentrated his strength on the corners, causing it to fly out of control.

The second punch broke the body. This punch by Lu Cheng had already hit the flesh of the Demon Whale King. The powerful and reverberating magic potential burst out like a raging sea. This kind of body-protecting qi is not for masters who practice both magic and body. If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator used magic power in this way, his flesh would be directly burst and crushed. But it is indeed extremely powerful and difficult to break.

However, Lu Cheng's Beihai Kunpengwu still injected his condensed fist force into it, because no matter in terms of physical cultivation, he was not inferior to the opponent at all, and even won in terms of ease of control.

The third punch was fatal. The body of the Demon Whale King began to expand rapidly and directly transformed into its own demon body. A spike pierced into a person's heart. Of course, that person would not survive. It was a fatal injury. However, if it was pierced into the heart of a giant whale, it might not be fatal.

As Miao Chuyun and a group of monks watched, the body of the Demon Whale King first transformed into a demon body in a flash of intense light, and then the light became even brighter, and the whole person appeared in another high sky the next moment, as if teleporting. But just as Miao Chuyun and a group of monks were shocked and wanted to hunt him down, the man in black clothes who had transformed into a human body again slowly turned around in mid-air and said to Lu Cheng hatefully:
"Great True Lord Jiefa, if it weren't for your sneak attack, if you and I had fought head-on, I might not have died here..." As he spoke, black blood flowed out of the mouth and nose of the man in black clothes.

“That’s right, you have reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, practicing both magic and body. Even ordinary great cultivators may not be able to kill you...but this is war.

I can defeat you and kill you, but I won’t consume so much spiritual consciousness and mana, and I will be busy for a long time in the future.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Whale King stopped talking and looked up at the sky, making the last whale cry of his life. Dark red blood gushed out high in the air, and fell on all sides like a bloody rain.

Miao Chuyun reached out his hand to catch the blood, then used his magic power to isolate it and smelled it. He heaved a sigh of relief only after making sure that there was no demonic poison.

The other person is dead and that's it, but the living still have a lot to do.

"Clear this place and wipe out the Demon Whale Clan. This demon race is infected by the demonic energy and can no longer be cultivated into spiritual beasts. What we have to do is to kill them all."

"promise."

From all directions, there were resounding responses.

It seems that due to the excellent work done by the monks from the five sects of Haiyuan City in concealing the news and conducting preliminary preparations, the initial progress of the Xuanming Sea naval battle was extremely smooth.

Relying on giant spirit boats and the monks' battle formations, the monks of Haiyuan City successively captured several important spirit veins and killed the great monsters entrenched in them.

However, among the six main attack fleets, there are still few results that can kill a sixth-level demon king on the spot like Lu Cheng did. After all, if a sixth-level demon king is determined to escape, it is indeed difficult to kill him.

However, this is not an unacceptable situation. According to the usual habits of the demon race, when they are sure that their spiritual veins have been occupied by humans and cannot be taken back, these demon kings will usually choose to flee far away. As for those fellow tribesmen who were killed?

High-level demon kings often do not regard low-level members of the same clan as their own, and it is common for them to devour them at will.

Of the six main attack fleets of Haiyuan City, Lu Cheng leads one alone. This shows how high his status and treatment are in the cultivation world of Haiyuan City at this time.

Compared with the Tiansha Alliance of Master Jiang An, the five sects of Haiyuan City undoubtedly hope that the Jinguan Cave of Canglong Mountain in Lucheng will leave behind the Taoist lineage and become the sixth largest sect in Haiyuan City.

However, Master Jiang An did not hold a grudge against Lu Cheng for this, because as long as Rover Island was captured, the five factions of Haiyuan City would have enough territorial resources to reward merit. At that time, not to mention the sixth faction, even the seventh, eighth, and even ninth faction might come into being.

Rover Fairy Island, across the sea from Haiyuan City, has a vast territory and rich resources. It is an isolated island in the sea with only a small number of monsters entrenched, but it covers almost half of Haiyuan City's sphere of influence. Successfully opening up this island can continue the fortune of the entire Haiyuan City system for at least a thousand years.

The raging waves of Xuanming, calming the sea and slaying the monster.

Lu Cheng wanted to settle the karma between himself and Haiyuan City, so he attacked several times without holding back and achieved great success in battle.

At the same time, Haiyuan City really wanted to open up a living space, so the six fleets cooperated with each other. Gu Yunge's Changle League's independent cultivator forces also cooperated more with Lucheng's fleet to bring their combat power to a relatively high level.

Dark clouds covered the vast ocean, and thousands of miles of sea area condensed into a black ice barrier.

This is the Nether Spider Glacier. Although there is only one demon king living here, the number of Nether Spiders living here is extremely terrifying. Day and night, they form a terrible poisonous fog barrier.

Boom, the sea surface broke.

The sixth-rank demon king, the Hanyuan Mingzhu, suddenly emerged from the sea. Its body was as huge as a mountain, and each piece of its armor seemed to be engraved with runes. The icy mist it spewed out of its mouth instantly froze three of the five faction warships.

In actual wars, the sixth-level demon kings will not only fight against the human Yuanying Zhenjun, but they can also kill human cultivators in large numbers at will.

"Turn from Kan to Lihuo, and press forward with the golden swords!"

Lu Cheng was standing high in the sky, his feet on the clouds, his fiery golden eyes piercing through the icy fog on all sides.

There are a large number of Frost Abyss Spiders lurking on this glacier, and under the will of the Demon King, they are fearless and desperately protect their home.

The second disciple Miao Chuyun moved upon hearing the order, and summoned out the twin swords of ice and fire from behind, activating the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Sword Escape", and the sword energy was as strong as a rainbow and pierced the compound eyes of the Dark Spider.

The demon king opened his mouth and spewed out ice cones that rained down like a rainstorm, but Shao Chenxuan of the Fu Hai Sect activated the Zhenhai Flag to create a countercurrent vortex that swept the ice cones into the deep sea.

"Xuanyin Refining Spirit, rise!"

Xiao Yuxue held up the exquisite jade tower in her hand, and seven hundred monks stepped on the Gang position, gathering their magic power into black chains that wrapped around the legs of the Hades Spider.

The demon king roared and struggled, the sound of the chains breaking was like thunder, and the monks from the five sects were bleeding from their mouths and noses, but no one retreated.

If you retreat at this moment, you will be killed by the flying swords of the sect's law enforcement monks. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the battlefield, in the future not only you but also your family and relatives will be punished by the sect.

There were too many Frost Abyss Spiders lurking in this glacier, so the two fleets had to join forces to break through.

Lu Cheng held a spell in his hand, and the second transformation of Xuantian Transformation, the Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape, appeared. A hundred-foot-long golden divine ape suddenly appeared, beating its chest and roaring, falling down, and forcibly tore open the ice armor of the Hades Spider with its bare hands, revealing the scales underneath that were glowing blue.

"You are also a demon king? Why are you helping humans and invading our homeland?!"

A cold and ruthless spiritual consciousness penetrated into Lu Cheng's mind.

“…Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I am a human, but the technique I practice allows me to have a variety of physical transformations.”

The divine ape threw the spider. The Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape violently lifted up the giant Hades spider and smashed it heavily onto an iceberg, causing the entire iceberg to collapse.

In a golden aura, Lu Cheng's body returned to human form. He raised his hands and five-colored sword lights swirled around his body.

At the same time, Gu Yunge's magic weapon, the Frost Mace, turned into a cold light and pierced into the gaps between the scales. The Nether Spider King rolled over in pain, and his huge body caused huge waves in the sea area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Lu Cheng took the opportunity to activate the Five Elements Flying Sword. The five-colored sword lights of gold, wood, water, fire and earth intertwined into a web, and finally turned into small swords to pin down the Dark Spider and temporarily lock its magic power.

The Frost Abyss Spider's compound eyes, whose body was restrained, turned red, with dark blue beams emitting from them, freezing even ordinary magical instruments and treasures wherever they passed.

The warships of Fu Hai Sect turned into ice sculptures in it. Shao Chenxuan roared angrily and once again summoned the magic weapon Zhenhai Flag. The vast blue light temporarily blocked the beam of light, buying a moment of opportunity for other cultivators.

"The Demon Refining Pagoda, rise!"

A pagoda flew into the air. Xiao Yuhong bit her tongue and sprayed the blood on the magic weapon. The blood from her tongue could amplify the power of the magic weapon, but it would slightly damage her vitality and it should not be used frequently. The magic power from the Demon Refining Heart Sutra was infused into the pagoda, and a red beam of light shot out from the bottom of the pagoda, resonating with the heaven and earth.

"Lock!"

Lu Cheng used both hands to cast a spell, and the five small swords suddenly burst out with sword energy. Ice blood splattered on the body of the Cold Abyss Spider, and the magic power circulating in its body was forced to stop temporarily.

"Human ants!"

The Frost Abyss Spider roared in its dying breath and attacked back, its demon core separated from its body and turned into an icy sun hanging in the air. The temperature of the sea area dropped to a terrifying level, the robes of the five sects of monks were frosted, and the meridians of those below the Golden Core level were frozen, and the number of deaths was incalculable.

However, this method has little effect on high-level cultivators.

Lu Cheng's physical body rushed forward and took the opportunity to swing his claws. His five fingers were as strong as a mountain and grasped the demon pill, forcibly pulling it out of the control of the Nether Spider's spiritual consciousness and magic power.

"receive!"

The Demon Refining Pagoda flew down from the sky, taking the severely injured demon king below into the sixth floor. The Xiao sisters immediately made hand gestures, and pieces of Taoist and Buddhist texts appeared on the tower body, suppressing the demon inside.

Afterwards, the monks from both sides quickly withdrew from the Nether Spider Glacier. The Demon King was dead, and those Cold Abyss Nether Spiders would not have a new Demon King for a hundred years. In the future, this place would become a resource base for Haiyuan City, and they could just slowly consume it. There was no need to rush to kill them all.

As the cultivators left, one could still hear from afar the roars of the terrifying numbers of Hades spiders that gathered behind the ice fog, but they were gradually becoming chaotic.
