Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 318: The Way of Martial Arts, One Strong and One Struggling

The fighting techniques of the martial arts world have their limitations.

Especially those martial arts that are famous for the changeable, strange and bizarre moves. Many of their "strangeness" and "changes" are based on the fighting foundation and cognition of the martial arts world over the years.

Sometimes it is somewhat similar to a 'set of moves'.

Therefore, when these kinds of methods are placed in a higher-level world and under a stronger level of energy utilization, it is obviously not so easy to apply mechanically, and many of them become useless moves.

For example, the Quanzhen Sect's 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' is a sword move that focuses on change and ferocity. However, such changes are not as effective as the practitioners' flying swords and chanting spells as they please. Even if the basic energy output is increased, the effect of attacking the enemy is quite limited.

Similar to this are the Sword Breaking Style and Knife Breaking Style in 'Nine Swords of Dugu'. They are not useless, but their uses are not as good as before, and they need to be adjusted and reorganized on a larger scale.

But there are also martial arts that utilize the changes in internal strength, or even the compression and explosion of true energy and internal force, which are very valuable for inheritance.

At this moment, facing Fahai's turtle shell-like defense, the long sword in Xu Xuan's hand hummed and quickly lit up red light. Then the red light on the sword edge gathered towards the tip of the sword until it turned into a fiery red cow hair needle.

scoff!

The sword stabbed straight forward, and the sword light as fine as a cow hair needle, like a knife cutting tofu, tearing through the Buddhist defense array one foot in front of Fahai.

Before the sword reached Fahai, a trace of blood had already appeared between the eyebrows of this handsome monk.

Quanzhen, Dingyang Needle!

This sword, strengthened and sublimated by Qiu Chuji and taught to Xu Xuan, had an extremely strong deterrent effect.

Fahai still had no experience in dealing with truly powerful martial artists. He didn't know that once a martial artist got close to him, no matter how profound his Buddhist knowledge was, he would gradually be forced into their rhythm and suppressed.

Although he was born a Buddhist, and in just a few decades he had acquired the power to suppress thousand-year-old demons and dominate the world, but if you really look at it more closely... he is still a "magician". Even if he is not fragile, it is not easy for him to escape if a martial artist gets close to him.

"Om!" There was blood on Fahai's brow, he made the Vajra Seal with his hands, his body was glowing with golden light, and he waved his hand and pushed out towards Xu Xuan.

The formation covering the room changed accordingly, from the original blockade to a comprehensive horizontal pressure.

Although Fahai did not have the terrifying talent of Nezha, who could learn the changes in strength at a glance and immediately master it to a considerable level, he was not a mediocre person. After being suppressed by Xu Xuan for a few breaths, he realized that Xu Xuan could no longer control the rhythm of the battle.

Therefore, he had to force Xu Xuan out first and increase the distance between them before he could use his skills. Otherwise, with Xu Xuan hitting him so closely, he would have no choice but to cope with it and would hardly be able to fight back.

At this time, Xu Xuan's lack of practical experience was revealed.

Facing Fahai's seal technique and the push of the formation, although he still raised his sword and went straight forward, completely following Qiu Chuji's teachings, he lacked the changes in his body movements and the adaptability of his strength, so he was forcibly repelled five meters, almost to the door.

It was this distance that allowed Fahai to recover. He clasped his palms in front of his chest and frowned. At the same time, two walls of light closed in like two cliffs, suppressing Xu Xuan, making it difficult for him to get out in a short time.

Fahai left Xu Xuan behind and continued to chase Bai Suzhen, who had transformed into a giant white python. After leaving the room, the Lotus Array opened again, intending to complete the unfinished task and suppress Bai Suzhen in the array.

"Ah..." A wail like a woman's sobbing came from the mouth of the white python.

One by one, sparkling Buddhist beads flew up. The golden-haired tiger, which had not dealt with Xu Xuan before, now attacked the white python without mercy.

In the Buddhist beads, there was a huge and majestic golden-haired creature that looked like a dog but not a dog, and a lion but not a lion. It swooped down and stepped on the giant python, then opened its mouth and bit it at the vital point.

The snake's blood dripped and rolled down, instantly dyeing the ground red.

Xu Xian, who was standing by, seemed to be terrified. He sat on the ground with his arms propped up behind his back. Although he wanted to help, his body's instinctive fear made him unable to move his limbs.

Faced with the giant python and the beast, he could not immediately overcome his physical cowardice.

Originally, he was able to escape to Baoqingfang holding the golden bowl because the Golden-haired Roar returned to the golden bowl and did not transform into this terrifying giant beast.

"No! Xiaobai!" Xu Xuan was in a hurry and didn't care about hiding his identity. He was wrapped in golden light and tried hard to swing the sword again, but he didn't know how.

He wanted to raise his sword again and use the Dingyang Needle to punch a hole in the thick blockade and escape, but he couldn't even lift his arms. Although martial artists are strong in close combat, it seems that when they are away from close combat, their changes and ingenuity are still far behind those of Buddhism, Taoism and Taoism.

"madness!"

"Can't we just use the Mountain-shaking Force combined with the Wave-folding Force to directly break this blockade?"

"How can a little bit of dust be made to look like carrying a mountain?" Qiu Chuji's voice rang in Xu Xuan's ears.

The strength of a martial artist lies not only in his agility in close combat, but also in the refinement and strength of his body. Although Xu Xuan was a quick learner, Qiu Chuji also invested five elixirs in his body, making it far stronger than ordinary practitioners of the same level.

The vibration of the two powerful forces, if an ordinary person was in the core of the blockade, would definitely be shaken into pieces first, but with Xu Xuan's strong body, he could withstand it!

Xu Xuan did as he was told. After combining the Zhenshan Force, which had the effect of hitting a cow from a distance, with the Dielang Force, a very aggressive resonant frequency was formed, just like shaking off the dust on his body. Although blood was dripping from the corner of Xu Xuan's mouth, he still successfully broke through the seal, killed from the side, and slashed at the golden-haired roar with a sword, rescuing the white python from the golden-haired roar's mouth.

The white python was attacked by severe pain, and its originally blurred consciousness suddenly became clear.

As if because of Xu Xuan's previous shout, she subconsciously responded: "A Xuan?"

Then she turned her head to look at the swordsman who was still covered in a black cloak. She had a vague feeling in her heart, but she couldn't be sure, and she didn't dare to be sure.

The huge snake body twisted and transformed into a graceful beauty in white. However, there was a large wound on the shoulder and neck of the beauty, which was bleeding and looked miserable.

She had no intention of caring about his wounds, and saw that Xu Xuan looked a little embarrassed under the attack of Fahai and Golden-haired Hou.

Her mind moved, and the sword given by Master Baoqing flew into her hand, turning into a stream of water and stabbing towards Fahai, but Fahai easily avoided it.

Xu Xuan resisted the Golden Haired Howler. Seeing that Bai Suzhen was seriously injured, she was naturally no match for Fahai. She was beaten left and right by Fahai's Buddhist Seal. Her injuries continued to worsen. He subconsciously shouted, "Xiaobai! Move half a step to the left, bend your knees, pierce the flower forward, and use your energy to gather in the void!"

Bai Suzhen felt relieved when she heard this, and she stabbed with the sword according to the method Xu Xuanchuan taught her.

This move is the 'Beautiful Brush' from the Jade Maiden Sword Technique. It seems ordinary, but it reveals changes in the ordinary. The most important thing is that this sword is combined with the 'Pure Moon Splitting Shine' from the Quanzhen Sword Technique, which is extremely clever. The two swords, one near and one far, seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they can face each other from a distance and communicate secretly.

Like two lovers looking at each other across the river, one is at the head of the Yangtze River, the other is at the tail of the Yangtze River, missing you every day but unable to see you.

The lingering feeling has no end!

There is no need to stack swords one upon another or move after move. As long as the artistic conception is in harmony, the sword intent will fly across the field.

Jinmaohou and Fahai immediately felt the sudden change in the battle situation.

In just a moment, most of their home advantage was lost.

The crisscrossing sword energy, like endless threads of love, brushed past the corners of Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen's clothes like a breeze, but in front of them, it turned into a strong wind and thunder.

The 'Quanzhen Sword Technique' and 'Jade Girl Sword Technique' that Xu Xuan knew were certainly not the original versions, but rather the enhanced versions after Qiu Chuji's sublimation. There were many changes in the sword moves and the use of sword energy, but the mystery and artistic conception contained therein were completely preserved.

That kind of lingering affection and lingering connection, after transforming into sword intent, became extremely difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Fahai felt as if he was completely entangled by three thousand strands of worries. He wanted to wave his hand to cut off the strands, but the more he cut, the more strands appeared. The more he struggled, the tighter they became.

What I see before my eyes seems hazy, as if it is about to transform into a vague silhouette.

This made Fahai furious, and when he waved his hands, he showed more ferocity and brutality, but this was not a good thing.

The Buddha has the angry eyes of a diamond, which he uses to subdue demons, but he actually has a compassionate heart.

Before this, when he subdued demons and eliminated monsters, no matter how cruel the means were, he always believed that he was doing it to save the people and had the greater good in his heart, so his Buddhist teachings were boundless and his supernatural powers were as vast as the ocean.

Now he was using his supernatural powers to vent his anger, and although his power seemed even more ferocious, it had lost the essence of Buddhism, and its true power was sharply reduced.
