Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 427: The Fire Disaster in the South China Sea, the End; One Sword Breaks Yin and Yang (I am late but I will update more! Flexible range)
In the foggy waters of the South China Sea, four factions confronted each other. Sansheng Wendao Mountain, Taisu Qingyun Mansion, and Wuxiang Yinyang Sect joined forces to fight against the powerful Taiqing Sect.

Because the power of both sides is equal, the conflicts and fights in the sea have been reduced a lot. At least among the cultivators of the four sects, the high-level cultivators can no longer attack the low-level cultivators. Although there are disputes and fights among cultivators of the same level, they also know that they will not get the protection of the sect's teachers, so they are relatively restrained.

If there is no such restraint, the fusion cultivator will kill the Return to Void cultivator, the Return to Void cultivator will kill the God Transformation cultivator, the God Transformation cultivator will kill the Nascent Soul cultivator, and the strongest point will attack the opponent's weak point. Everyone's losses will be unbearable, and there will be no winner if this continues.

Even if there are disputes now, everyone will call their friends and confront each other. The vast majority of high-level cultivators are unwilling to fight to the death for a few spiritual objects.

After all, the purpose of cultivation is to achieve longevity, not to satisfy momentary emotional disputes.

Deep in the foggy waters of the South China Sea, Lu Cheng rode a fire dragon and flew against the waves.

Behind him, Wan Shuang'er and others followed closely, each controlling their own magic weapon. Five-colored light swept across the sea, leaving a trail of light on the blue waves.

"Senior Brother Lu, the water spirit energy ahead is unusually active, as if there is a treasure." Shang Qingyu held a guqin in his arms, and as his bare hands plucked it lightly, invisible and tangible sound waves spread like ripples, feeding back the spiritual energy fluctuations within a hundred miles.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and the Tianyuan Talisman slowly rotated in his palm. From the talisman "Rain Seal" radiated a ray of light, which penetrated into the deep sea like a living thing.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is a sunken white jade fairy stone at the bottom of the sea. It must be a precious treasure."

In order to protect Wan Shuang'er, Lu Cheng has been exploring and collecting spiritual objects in the South China Sea with a few people over the past period of time.

He had been staying in this sea area since the incident, so of course it was easier for him to collect spiritual objects than other cultivators.

Therefore, the benefits over this period of time have been considerable, which is quite a help.

Before he finished his words, the red fire dragon let out a long roar and crashed into the sea.

Everyone hurriedly used the water-avoiding technique to catch up, only to see the thousands of feet of green waves automatically parting and descending. As time passed, the stone forest covered with aquatic plants gradually appeared below.

The abundant jade light glowed faintly in the darkness, like the reflection of moonlight.

"Be careful!" Xiao Ming suddenly shouted. Dozens of transparent water snakes emerged from the shadows of the deep sea. Each snake was about the thickness of an arm, and its scales reflected colorful halos.

Although many spiritual creatures have appeared in this sea area during this period, there are also many demons accompanying them. When they sense the breath of living people at this moment, they immediately shoot out like arrows.

Lu Cheng had already sensed these spirit snakes, but he didn't want others to rely entirely on him, so he didn't warn them.

It is not as good as everyone being alert if you are the only one who is alert. Maybe they can detect the dangers that they have overlooked.

Mo Xuan snorted coldly at this, and twelve black flying swords flew out from his sleeves. These flying swords formed a killing array in the air, and the sword energy strangled and cut off all the water snakes. Unexpectedly, the snake corpses turned into sticky spiritual liquid, corroding the restrictions on the surface of the flying swords like a ulcer, making a rustling sound.

"It's actually invisible real water!" Duan Tianyan's eyes flashed with joy when he saw this. A real fire burst out from his fingertips, refining the spiritual liquid that corroded the flying sword into crystal water droplets.

"This real water is the perfect material for refining a top-grade water-based flying sword. Just this is enough for us to come here in vain."

At this time, Lu Cheng was staring into the depths of the stone forest. Through the broken stone forest, he could see a scarlet coral tree in the middle of the courtyard, with seven pigeon egg-sized pearls growing between its branches:
There is a phantom of a water dragon swimming inside each bead, swaying with the ocean current.

“What I saw before turned out to be this thing, the Seven-Light Mysterious Pearls, a treasure for returning to the void…” These seven Seven-Light Mysterious Pearls were the white jade fairy stones that he had seen with his natal magic weapon before. Before he finished speaking, the entire stone forest suddenly shook violently.

The earth and rocks under the coral tree collapsed with a loud bang, revealing a whirlpool with a diameter of ten feet.

A pitch-black stone man rose from the center of the vortex, and suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the coral tree.

It is extremely difficult for the spirits and monsters in heaven and earth to awaken their spiritual intelligence. One must be dedicated to the right path and practice hard to achieve good results.

This stone man is buried deep underground. No one knows how many years he has practiced before he was enlightened by the spiritual power of the Seven Stars Pearl. Now someone comes to rob him. Even though he knows he can't win, he is not afraid of life or death.

"It's the demon guarding the treasure!" Wan Shuang'er drew her two swords. The cultivators present knew that there were often big demons guarding valuable treasures, so they were not surprised to see this.

"It has also been practicing for thousands of years. Even though we are trying to seize the treasure today, we must not destroy its life."

Lu Cheng stared at the stone man, his eyes flickering as if he had thought of something. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the red dragon following him, and it suddenly flipped over and disappeared.

At the same time, Lu Cheng flipped his hand and sacrificed the Tianyuan Talisman. Nine jade seals surrounded it like stars, and two sixth-level talismans were added to it. He pounced on the stone man like a dragon, but when he got close, he was knocked away by the earthen knives and earthen guns that rolled out from the ground.

The magic spells of these celestial beings are not sophisticated, but their magical powers are profound. They can often defeat ten opponents with one force, and suppress human cultivators so much that they have no temper.

The stone man at the seventh level stood there, with a yellowish-brown divine light spreading around his body. The next moment, he actually pressed down on everyone like a huge tide.

If it really were pressed down on you, it would be no different from being crushed by a mountain.

Upon seeing this, Shang Qingyu quickly plucked the strings of the zither. The sound waves advanced like waves, temporarily resisting the spreading ochre-colored divine light, but he could only reduce the force step by step.

Duan Tianyan took the opportunity to throw three red fire pills, which exploded into blazing flames on the stone man. However, the stone man just shook slightly, and the flames gradually went out.

Duan Tianyan’s personal treasure is naturally not an ordinary item, but on the one hand, this place is at the bottom of the sea, and on the other hand, fire helps the earth, so the stone man itself is not restrained by it.

Suddenly, densely packed white-robed and white-armored soldiers pounced on the stone man from all directions. Although a large number of them were blown to pieces by a single punch from the huge stone man, these white-robed and white-armored soldiers were still alive and dead, and they surrounded and harassed him from all sides.

"The mysterious secrets of the cloud seal are hidden, and the army of thousands of soldiers and armors are transformed into the vastness!"

Taoist Xiao Ming was practicing the "Cloud Seal Dunjia Heavenly Book". At this moment, he waved his sword and directed the troops to move in formation, which changed like water.

It is common for cultivators to defeat the strong with the weak when dealing with these unintelligent demons, so Lu Cheng is not in a hurry to activate high-level talismans. Although this stone man has great magical powers, his wisdom is too low. If it cannot distinguish the difference between the Taoist soldiers and the cultivators, then it will be besieged and killed here.

Wan Shuang'er, Mo Xuan, Duan Tianyan, Shang Qingyu and others have already used their respective magic weapons to attack. Although the damage is only accumulated little by little, as time goes by, there will be a moment when the stone man is knocked down.

"This stone man has endless magical powers, which must be connected to the earth's veins. We must find a way to cut off its veins!" Taoist Mo Xuan, who was dressed in a black Taoist robe, spoke at this moment, and hit the nail on the head.

"You guys work together to suppress this stone man, and I will break his earth veins and take his spiritual treasure!"

Lu Cheng said this, and at this moment, several sixth-level talismans were flying around him. Although they were infused with magic power, they were not activated immediately.

Wan Shuang'er, Xiao Ming and others looked at each other after hearing what was said, and then they all took out their magic weapons and attacked together.

The flying sword, the guqin, the Ruyi, the fire beads, the jade flute and many other magic weapons combined their power and suddenly exploded, causing the stone man who could not tell the difference between the Taoist soldier and the immortal cultivator to stagger.

At this moment, the fire dragon that had been hiding on the side suddenly pounced out. At this moment, its body coiled up like a dragon, and soared into the sky with the stone man tied to it.

The stone man left the earth and the power of the earth veins was cut off.

Of course the demon struggled instinctively, but Lu Cheng's figure floated up and at the same time he cast a series of talismans on the demon to suppress it.

boom.

The moment the three broke out of the sea, Lu Cheng held hands and formed a formation with talismans, and one call resulted in a hundred responses.

The many residual talismans that were used to suppress and consume mana turned into a powerful force, and the torrent of talismans merged and crashed into the stone man like a dragon.

When the stone man was in the sea, he had already accumulated a lot of injuries. At this moment, he was hit violently by the magic power of the god level, and his shape suddenly became unstable.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that this stone man had such profound magical powers.

There was a faint flicker of fire in the Taoist's eyes. The next moment, he performed the North Sea Kunpeng Dance and flew over to punch.

Although Lu Cheng's dragon body did not have the ability to refine his body like his original body, he was still at a certain level of physical cultivation. He controlled his strength to perfection. When he punched down, the strength exploded in the stone man's body. However, the most terrifying thing was the will that was like a fist or a sword, crushing him.

Crackling... Ugh.

After this punch, the stone man was beaten by Lu Cheng and spit out corals and pearls. Then his limbs retracted inward and he changed into a spherical stone ball again, returning to his original form.

……

Two years later, in the thick fog of the Wuyin Waters in the South China Sea, a green jade flying boat broke through the waves.

During the past two years, because of the countless gains, Wan Shuang'er, Duan Tianyan and others also invested in a high-quality spirit boat. It can be said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Lu Cheng stood at the bow of the boat, the Tianyuan Talisman slowly rotating beside him. He put his two fingers together and tapped his brows, spreading his consciousness to detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Three hundred miles to the southeast, a fire crystal appeared in the cracks of the seabed. If there is such a treasure on the surface, there should be a spiritual object of the God-transforming level in the depths." After a moment, Lu Cheng withdrew his consciousness and said to the people behind him:

"Junior Brother Duan's Samadhi True Fire needs this thing to be tempered. Let's go over and take a look."

Duan Tianyan's "True Explanation of the Samadhi Fire Palace" is difficult to cultivate to the level of life and death like his original body in this life, but he can use the power of external objects to increase the power of true fire.

During these two years, Duan Tianyan had no doubts and let Lu Cheng tell him most of the content of the martial arts he practiced. Lu Cheng also knew many practical methods of Samadhi True Fire. If he had the chance, he would naturally make up for it.

When the flying boat turned around, Wan Shuang'er couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu, how do you know that there is a spiritual being there? Is your spiritual awareness really so much better than ours?"

"That's not the case. It's just that when the submarine volcano erupted here, I intentionally observed the trend of the fire veins here. You all rely purely on your own spiritual sense to explore, and at most have some secret methods to assist. I have a plan in mind and follow the map, so the efficiency is naturally different." Lu Cheng pointed to the faint red-gold light in the distance: "The magma channel there leads directly to the lungs of the earth. Most of the spiritual objects brought out during the eruption are deposited in the surrounding rock layers."

The jade flying boat dived into the deep sea. As it went deeper, the originally cold sea water around it gradually became warm.

Through the light blue water-proof light shield, you can see dots of red light in the cracks on the seabed.

"It is indeed the Fire Crystal Essence!" Duan Tianyan was greatly excited when he saw this. He was about to fly away, but Lu Cheng raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute." Lu Cheng raised his hand to stop Duan Tianyan. There was silence on the spirit boat for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the depths of the crack on the seabed.

In the red light, there were several dark shadows swimming around, shaped like giant lizards but dark red in color. They were actually several level six fire lizard monsters!
But the real problem is not this.

"My fellow Taoists from Sansheng Daoshan, since you are here, why hide your head and show your tail?" Lu Cheng suddenly spoke loudly. With the blessing of magic power, his voice penetrated the sea water and shook in all directions.

"Hahaha, it is rumored that Fellow Daoist Lu from Taiqing Sect is an ascended cultivator, calm, steady and ruthless. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is indeed well-deserved." Along with a burst of spiritual transmission, five figures emerged on the other side of the seabed crack.

The leader was wearing a green robe and carrying a long sword on his back. He was none other than Zhou Xuan, the "Qingming Sword Master", a true disciple of San Sheng Wen Dao Mountain.

Beside him stood four fellow disciples, all of them had a solemn aura, and they were obviously masters among the Nascent Soul cultivators.

At the same time, ripples appeared in the sea on the other side, and four monks in white Taoist robes stepped out of the waves, with blue cloud patterns faintly visible between their fluttering sleeves: the people from Taisu Qingyun Mansion have also arrived.

The two sides were in a three-way confrontation, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Everyone in the world of earthly immortals knows that Sansheng Wendao Mountain and Taisu Qingyun Mansion are of the same blood and have always advanced and retreated together. Even if there are some disputes over the distribution of spiritual objects, the two factions will only choose to force the Taiqing Sect monks to retreat and then discuss the matter privately as a family.

"Senior Brother Lu, this Fire Crystal Essence is extremely important to me. As long as I can have this, I don't need any other spiritual gains from the past two years." Duan Tianyan secretly conveyed his thoughts in an urgent tone.

The level of his practice of "True Explanation of the Samadhi Fire Palace" has reached a bottleneck. With the help of this thing, a breakthrough is just around the corner.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the crowd. Among the five people in Sansheng Daoshan, Zhou Xuan's "Qingming Sword Art" was famous all over the world;
Although the four people from Taisu Qingyun Mansion did not speak, their positions were consistent with a certain formation, and it was obvious that they were not easy to deal with.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou." Lu Cheng suddenly smiled. "The emergence of spiritual creatures in the South China Sea depends on chance. But today, this Fire Crystal Spirit Essence is extremely important to my junior brother. I wonder if you can help me?"

Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said with a half-smile, "Brother Daoist Lu, you are joking. If we talk about urgent needs, my junior sister's 'Fire Cloud Sword' is in need of a fire-based spiritual object for refining. We must get this object as well."

The female cultivator headed by Taisu Qingyun Mansion also spoke coldly at this time: "This item is also very effective for the cultivation of 'Suyun Zhengang' in our mansion. I'm sorry that I can't give it up."

The three parties are in a stalemate, and undercurrents are surging under the sea.

Wan Shuang'er quietly gripped the hilts of the swords, and the black and white swords trembled slightly in the sheaths; Shang Qingyu's jade fingers touched the strings of the zither, ready to pluck them at any time; Mo Xuan and Xiao Ming looked at each other, and each of them made hand gestures to activate their magic weapons.

"boom!"

The seabed suddenly shook violently, which turned out to be the eruption of a volcano.

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan shouted in a low voice, raised his hand and slashed with a sword. The green sword energy tore through the sea water and went straight to Lu Cheng's throat.

The female cultivator headed by Taisu Qingyun Mansion also waved her hand and sent out a powerful aura that covered Lu Cheng.

"Thunder, rise."

The Taoist who was besieged by two people held a thunder talisman in his hand, with blazing electric light spreading out from it as the center. The sword and the energy were all encircled and blocked.

"This person is just like the legend says. He can use the Divine Transformation Thunder Talisman to attack people at any time, and the speed at which he can do so is incredible! Are all the ascended monks so wealthy, or does this person have some special luck?"

Zhou Xuan's thoughts were turning, but the green sword energy was cascading like waves, slashing down continuously. He was a cultivator of the Tribulation Reincarnation Realm. In his previous life, he mainly practiced the Qingming Sword Art. In this life, he used all his skills to the fullest, and his sword art was sophisticated and sharp, almost perfect.

On the other side, the female cultivator from Taisu Qingyun Mansion also had profound magical powers. Although she was not well-known, her internal energy circulated like a thread and could be released and retracted freely.

At the same time, Wan Shuang'er, Xiao Ming, Mo Xuan, Duan Tianyan, Shang Qingyu and others also started fighting with the other seven people from the other two factions.

Mo Xuan let out a long roar, and twelve ink-colored flying swords formed a sword formation and attacked, crushing the attacking cloud ropes; Xiao Ming waved his sleeves and released hundreds of soldiers to stop the other cultivators from San Sheng Wen Dao Mountain.

Shang Qingyu sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat, plucking the zither with his ten fingers, the sound waves were like waves, and the sound waves disturbed the enemy's consciousness. Wan Shuang'er and Duan Tianyan used their flying swords and magic weapons to fight against the cultivators of Taisu Qingyun Mansion.

The undercurrent in the sea boiled and exploded in the sword energy and lightning. The lightning talisman between Lu Cheng's fingers suddenly burned out, turning into nine purple lightning chains that wrapped around his body. As soon as the Qingming sword energy that Zhou Xuan chopped down came into contact with it, it was crushed by the lightning.

"It's easy to control and manipulate. Great thunder technique and great changes!" Zhou Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but admire.

It is not difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to activate the Divine Thunder Talisman, but what is difficult is to do it quickly and steadily, and what is even more difficult is to be able to control it freely at will after activating it. Just by looking at this point, you can know that this person is definitely not what the outside world says, who simply uses high-level thunder talismans to hit people, and his talisman skills are extremely high.

But because of this, Zhou Xuan's sword technique suddenly changed. The green sword light suddenly split into twelve real and virtual sword shadows. Each sword shadow was wrapped in a chilling cold air - it was the "Splitting Light Sword Slash" from the Qingming Secret Sword of San Sheng Wen Dao Mountain!
The twelve sword shadows were like a peacock spreading its tail, blocking all of Lu Cheng's retreat routes. The temperature at the bottom of the sea dropped sharply, and even the boiling bubbles condensed into ice crystals in an instant.

Lu Cheng did not retreat but advanced. The "Wind Seal" of the Tianyuan Talisman suddenly lit up. His figure instantly passed through the gap between the sword shadows like a ghost, and the green light on his right palm surged. The dragon claws of the North Sea Kunpeng dance tore through the heavy cold wave and went straight to Zhou Xuan's heart.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, the Suyun ribbon thrown by the female cultivator from the Taisu Qingyun Mansion wrapped around Lu Cheng's wrist. The seemingly soft ribbon was actually as heavy as a mountain, causing Lu Cheng's offensive to stagnate.

Zhou Xuan took the opportunity to turn the sword around, and the twelve sword shadows merged into one, turning into a three-meter-long green rainbow sword that chopped down on his head! Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword intent had already split his soul and spirit.

However, the nine purple lightning chains that were originally flying around Lu Cheng's body, although unable to tear the Suyun ribbon for the time being, at this moment they were drawn back into Lu Cheng's mouth like hundreds of streams returning to the sea, and suddenly turned into a blazing light and shouted out.

The lightning was like a knife, only attacking and not defending. It was almost a fight to the death!
Because of Chu Mingyun, Lu Cheng learned about the Sansheng Wendaoshan sect. This sect has unique secret methods, and its true disciples who have accumulated the foundation of the Tao and have transcended the second or even third life are no less capable than the true disciples of the nine major sects of the human race, and are worthy of Lu Cheng's attention.

Zhou Xuan had to withdraw his sword to defend himself, but he saw that Lu Cheng's entangled right hand suddenly changed several times, and suddenly broke free from the Suyun ribbon, and the size was as desired. This was the power of the physical body transformation:

Your magic power is the strongest, so I will defeat you first.

"boom!"

Zhou Xuan was already trying his best to resist the lightning of incarnation, and at this moment Lu Cheng took the opportunity to punch him in the chest. The fist, as white as jade, carried an extremely strong, rigid and hard Dharma power, and an endless stream of powerful force surged towards Zhou Xuan's body.

Zhou Xuan practiced the sword cultivation method of San Sheng Dao Mountain, and had already reached the point where man and sword became one. The sword cultivation power of killing was the sword cultivation power of protecting the Tao. This was a sword technique and Taoist skill that was enough to dominate the world.

However, under the power of Lu Cheng's magic body, the powerful force contained in one punch caused Zhou Xuan to start to decompose and crack where he was hit by the punch. His Qingming Flying Sword, which was his life-saving sword, also wailed and cracked inch by inch.

The violent shock wave emptied the seawater within a radius of 100 meters, forming a brief vacuum. The monks from the three sects were shaken, and those with weaker cultivation even had blood oozing from their mouths and noses.

"puff"

Zhou Xuan raised his head and spat out a cloud of blood mist. The next moment, his whole body was wrapped in green light and he flew away in an instant.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

The female cultivator from Taisu Qingyun Mansion was horrified upon seeing this. She had never dreamed that the combined power of the two true disciples would be defeated miserably by Lu Cheng in just a few moves.

Zhou Xuan didn't want to leave either, but the lethality of Lu Cheng's punch was too strong. Even if he could save his life, he would vomit blood and escape immediately, and his injuries were so severe that they could not be worse.

Once Zhou Xuan was defeated, all the cultivators from Sansheng Wendao Mountain and Taisu Qingyun Mansion present, even if there were still eight of them and even had the upper hand, were useless.

Because the female cultivator who was a true disciple of the Taisu Qingyun Mansion turned pale at the sight of Taoist Lu Cheng, and no longer had the cold and arrogant look she had just now.

Because she knew that her magical power was far inferior to that of Senior Brother Zhou Xuan. If she did not obey at this moment, she would be killed on the spot!

"Brother Lu has boundless magical power, and he can even pass through people. From now on, we in Taisu Qingyun Mansion will stay away from this place and will not dare to offend again."

The true disciple of Taisu Qingyun Mansion, the female cultivator, expressed her stance immediately, fearing that she would be too late.

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, and thinking that he had already offended the Wuxiang Yinyang Sect badly, he restrained his murderous intent and did not kill the female cultivator in front of him on the spot.

After the monks from San Sheng Wen Dao Mountain and Tai Su Qing Yun Mansion withdrew, the fire lizards in the deep volcano were not a problem at all. If they did not run fast enough, they would be skinned and their tendons would be taken out by Lu Cheng and others and put into the Qian Kun bag.

The volcanic eruption in the Mist Sea area of ​​the South China Sea lasted for about five years.

In the fifth year of the confrontation between the four factions, Xuan Zhenzi led the monks of Taiqing Sect to attack and kill the leader of Wuxiang Yinyang Sect, the Lord of Yinyang Realm and the four elders in Nanhai.

In one battle, the five combined monks of the Wuxiang Yin-Yang Sect were killed, except for the Yin-Yang Realm Master who was seriously injured and escaped, and the four elders were all killed.

After this incident, Sansheng Wendao Mountain and Taisu Qingyun Mansion lost the support of Wuxiang Yinyang Sect and voluntarily withdrew from the South China Sea. Taiqing Sect completely occupied the place and obtained countless spiritual objects from heaven and earth, while also greatly enhancing the prestige of this once number one orthodox religion of the human race.
