The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 60: Xuanxu achieves immortality, the old Taoist descends the mountain
Fengyang County, Xianlin Pavilion, three days later.

Inspiration converges like hundreds of rivers into the sea.

The audience was both excited and nervous, looking around vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen at the critical moment.

Fortunately, the reputation of Tiandiyuan was enough to intimidate all the evildoers, and the mysterious Dharma power rose. Xuanxu achieved the status of a real person without any danger.

Two hours later, the Taoists were excited to see the middle-aged Taoist walking out of the training room in high spirits.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother (Master Uncle, Senior Uncle) for achieving the status of a True Person."

"Thank you for your protection."

Xuanxu returned the greeting and laughed out loud.

Looking up at the blue sky, he was filled with emotion. He never thought that he had accomplished what his predecessors had failed to do. The Qiuzhen Temple would surely flourish in the hands of him and his senior brothers.

Half an hour later, the group left the county town and headed straight for Floating Cloud Mountain. Dozens of miles out of the city, the sea was calm and there were no blind people blocking the way.

But Xuanxu and Chang'anzi were not careless. They had not forgotten the warning from their senior brother (uncle) that there was danger in good fortune, and they dared not let down their guard until they reached Floating Cloud Mountain.

After walking for another few dozen miles, the air began to fluctuate slightly, like a drop of water falling into a river, the ripples were so slight that even Xuanxu was unaware of it at first. An invisible murderous intent was spreading, approaching the target.

At the critical moment, the inherited magic sword hummed. Xuanxu was shocked and flew into the air as fast as the wind. In an instant, he stood in front of Chang'anzi. He unsheathed the magic sword and slashed at the void with force.

The sword flashed, and there was a sound of metal clashing.

The magic power clashed and the might was surging. A transparent silk thread as thin as a hair was forced to reveal its shape and turned bright red in an instant, as if dyed with blood. Under the vigilant gaze of the audience, a figure appeared silently behind Chang'an Zi, waving his sleeves and rushing towards him again.

"You dare!"

Xuanxu was furious, his hair and beard stood on end.

The magic sword turned like a swimming fish and headed straight for the red shadow. At the same time, it grabbed Chang'anzi's shoulder collar and threw him back.

The person who came was obviously here to kill this nephew.

The sleeves fell empty and were cut off by the sword.

The man in red then revealed his true appearance.

---

The visitor was a plump beauty, dressed boldly, sexy and charming, with her snow-white skin faintly visible, and the strange crimson silk thread just now was actually released from her clothes.

Xuanxu's heart sank, and he exclaimed, "Soul-pulling thread! Are you the killer from Fuyi Tower?"

"That's right!" The red-dressed woman admitted bluntly, twisting her waist-length hair with her fingers and parting her red lips as she laughed, "I wanted to disguise myself as a vendor and lure the young Taoist priest to a remote place to kill him, completing the task assigned by my employer. I didn't expect the young Taoist priest to be so clever that he didn't fall for it.

As a result, I was caught by Tiandiyuan and had to hide from place to place. I had no choice but to leave the city to avoid disaster and wait for the rabbit to come. Since this is the case, I have no choice but to work harder and send you to the west together outside the city."

The moment the words fell, the red shadow moved again, and the red silk on its body leaped out like a long snake hunting. Dozens of silk threads mysteriously broke through the air and headed straight for Qiuzhen and the audience, while the woman attacked Xuanxu.

Since seduction failed and assassination didn't work, she would just kill him openly. Although this was troublesome, it was not something she had not done before.

"Formation!"

At Xuanyin's command, all the Taoists reacted quickly and set up the Bagua Sword Formation in an instant to block the elusive red line.

The sword energy raged, cutting off the red line.

The red thread regenerates and cannot be cut off.

Seeing the woman in red coming to kill him, Xuanxu took the initiative to hold the sword and killed her. At the same time, he did not hesitate to draw out the sword light and sword intent that Senior Brother Xuanming had sealed on the inherited magic sword, and swung the sword to kill her.

No nonsense, just quick and clean actions.

As a killer, the woman in red has a keen sense of danger. When Xuanxu came to kill her, she felt a warning sign in her heart and smelled the breath of death. This intuition has saved her from danger many times.

Although she didn't know what the master of Qiuzhen Temple relied on, the woman in red didn't dare to take the risk. She was about to dodge and avoid the attack, preparing to kill the others first, but she didn't expect a sword light to come suddenly.

The sword light was five hundred feet long and the Bagua sword intent locked onto the target. The powerful aura made the woman in red pause. The sword light also came faster than she had imagined, and it was too late to dodge.

In a flash, the woman in red could only grit her teeth and resist. Red threads surged on her body, and even the red threads that attacked the Bagua Sword Formation were retracted. It was like a swarm of raging snakes, with hundreds of silk threads surging out.

However, to no avail.

The sword light fell, and the red lines were cut.

The mighty sword light came straight down, blood splattered, wetting the grass and trees, and the woman in red died with strong unwillingness.

He came in a strange and unpredictable way, and died cleanly and neatly.

Seeing the killer surrender, Xuanxu felt relieved.

Appreciating a wise, knowing those out.

He had just achieved the status of a real person, and the woman in red was a veteran Qi practitioner with strange methods, and was obviously stronger than him. Moreover, she was from Fuyi Tower, which made her extremely dangerous. He had to fight her quickly. The longer the fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be to the Seeking Truth Temple, and the more likely it would cause complications.

Therefore, Xuanxu made a decision immediately.

When the woman in red came to kill her, he took her by surprise and directly used the method reserved by Senior Brother Xuanming.

Looking at the woman's corpse, Xuanxu felt deeply moved. Senior Brother Xuanming was indeed the same as always and did not let him down.

The soul-binding thread of Fuyi Tower is even more bizarre than the invisible cone. He was able to discover its traces just now thanks to the warning from his senior brother's sword intent.

After Taoist Xuansu took away the Ruyi Bag from the red-clothed woman, Xuanxu was about to take the people from Qiuzhen Temple away when suddenly something unexpected happened again.

---

The sky changed color and was covered with dark clouds.

A dragon snake with green scales and a huge body was shuttling through the black clouds. It swung its long tail, and a strong demonic aura filled the air. The grass and trees withered instantly, and it flew towards Chang'an Zi through the air.

"Heavenly Great Demon!"

Mysterious and solemn.

Just about to step forward to block the way.

Unexpectedly, a dragon snake poked its head out from the clouds, opened its bloody mouth, and the two venomous fangs on its upper jaw fell off, turning into two sharp swords, and rushed straight towards him.

The air was murderous and the sword was sharp.

Xuanxu was immediately entangled.

Xuanyin reacted very quickly and led the crowd to set up a sword formation.

However, facing the snake's tail, the Bagua Sword Formation was as fragile as glass. Chang'an Zi suddenly became flustered and terrified, as if he was really frightened by his own danger, and he tightly grasped the heavy sword.

But when the snake's tail approached, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent, and he uttered a word lightly:

"cut!"

The moment he finished speaking, a sharp sword light emanated from his body, and a terrifying sword intent burst out from him. The five hundred feet sword light reappeared, and the snake tail that was invincible just now was now like paper, and was split into two and easily cut off.

In the sky, the dragon snake let out a shrill scream, twisted its body, and blood rained down. It was severely injured.

He didn't expect that Chang'anzi had such tricks, and everyone in the audience was also shocked.

Only Chang'anzi remained calm, because this was a trick hidden in him by Master Uncle Xuanming, in case of emergency.

It is not comfortable to carry the sword intent on your body. You have to endure the pain of the sword intent erosion every moment. You have to at least practice the "Spiritual Body Tempering Art" to a small level of success before you can withstand it.

But everything has its pros and cons. Chang'anzi can not only use this to comprehend the sword intent and improve his swordsmanship, but also use the sword intent to temper his body and strengthen his blood.

Because of this, he made rapid progress and was able to use the final sword that combined body and soul in the martial arts test.

"Set up the formation and kill the demon!"

Xuanxu reacted extremely quickly.

While the dragon snake was injured, he took the opportunity to break free from the entanglement of the two swords and rushed to the sky above the Qiuzhen audience. He gave orders and led everyone to form a formation. The Bagua Yiqi Sword Formation took shape again.

This sword formation presided over by the real person himself burst out with terrifying power. As Xuanxu swung his sword, a four-hundred-foot sword light pierced straight into the sky, breaking through the clouds and cutting off the strong wind.

The power of this attack has already reached the innate threshold.

The dragon snake roared, its eyes filled with rage, and while roaring, its two fang swords merged into one and suddenly slashed down, with the sword lights colliding.

The two fang swords flew backwards and split into two again. The sword light also shattered, and the Bagua sword formation was broken.

Everyone was knocked down by the recoil force, their blood was churning and their magic power was running wild. Except for Xuanxu, the others had no strength to fight anymore.

The dragon snake roared in pain and pleasure, and rushed towards Xuanxu with great momentum. The void exploded and the evil spirit was rolling.

Xuanxu held the sword with a determined look on his face.

Be prepared for a life-and-death fight.

He is the headmaster of Qiuzhen Temple. If anyone wants to harm the disciples of Qiuzhen Temple, they have to step over his dead body.

At this moment, Xuanxu had the determination to fight for his life, and his expression was more determined than ever before. But before the dragon snake could approach, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.

With a loud bang, the dragon snake fell.

Blood rained from the sky and huge corpses fell to the ground.

The sound of a crane was heard, and a white-haired Taoist priest came riding on a crane. The dark clouds dispersed, the afterglow of the setting sun appeared, and behind him there was a vast glow of light.
