Chapter 27: The desire of the human heart, the thought of shaping the golden body; watching the gods shine all over, the Southern Demon Lord
“Hoo, Lord, I have rescued Master Chen... You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
Stepping into the Chixin Temple, such an idea came into my mind, and then it was interrupted.
But Lu Cheng was relieved because he sensed that it was the will conveyed by God General Li Meng with his last divine power.
Only God Generals have this power, and they can only have this power in their own dojo.
Under the double guarantee of magic and personal temperament, if even Li Meng cannot be trusted, then no one in Lu Cheng can be trusted now.
"Then, all that's left is to do our best to solve it."
Lu Cheng slowly raised his head and looked at the huge black centipede that was destroying the Taoist temple crazily and spitting poisonous fire everywhere. There was a huge head as close to a house, with a demonic aura lingering on its body, and its aura was terrifying.
In most cases, the monsters in the foundation-building realm should be avoided by immortal cultivators in the Qi-training realm. In some cases, you can't even run away.
But if this Gu King is not expelled, Shiyuan County’s belief in the Blood Food Sacrifice will not change. Everything he has done before, even cutting down mountains and destroying temples, will have no meaning.
"Then, let's go!"
The Taoist's mind was concentrated, so the Taoist's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Fighting with swords, looking for opportunities to hit it hard with Fire Thunder Beads, so that it is possible to kill it. Once there is a mistake or the power of Fire Thunder Beads is not fully exerted, I will most likely Will die. Cannot use Thunder Hammer or Lightning Cone. This kind of magical weapon that is not easy to control can smash these two second-level magical weapons with just one tail."
Slowly unsheathing the sword, Lu Cheng held the red pine sword against himself with one hand. At the side of the body, the sword fingers of his left hand slowly slid across the sword spine, pointing at three points and one line at the giant centipede.
“Under normal circumstances, it would take at least five late-stage Qi-training monks to cooperate with a restraining magic weapon array to defeat a third-level monster, and it may even suffer some battle damage.”
"The vitality of insect monsters is stronger than that of ordinary monsters, and their bodies are stronger, but their innate intelligence is weaker. Even third-level monsters should only be useless against ordinary beasts. Maybe we can take advantage of this."
At this time, the evil Gu soldiers in Chixin Temple and the armed remnants of the four families of Li, Tu, Zou, and You were almost dead.
If the loose cultivators in southern Xinjiang did not escape in time, they would fall into the mouth and belly of this giant centipede.
So soon, the black-armored giant centipede noticed the young Taoist standing behind him holding a sword.
The sword cultivator and the monster, the natural enemy stare at each other.
roar!
Lu Cheng had never heard the cry of an ordinary centipede before. At least the one in front of me seemed to be the roar of some kind of giant beast.
Huge and terrifying.
What followed was a green flame pouring out of its mouth.
Too poisonous and high temperature, a Qi-training monk will die immediately if hit head-on. Even defensive weapons cannot withstand it.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng was blessed with the Small Seal Qingfeng Talisman on his body, and he was paying full attention to the posture and movements of this giant centipede, so he could evade it with his sword immediately.
The green wave of fire chased the red sword light and burned the figures.
Wherever the flames passed, even the earth and rocks were burned, and the air was filled with highly toxic gases for a short time.
Fortunately, in the later stages of Qi training, monks can continue to breathe externally and internally for a long time. If they were ordinary people, they would die miserably even if they were not hit head-on by this wave of fire.
It spewed poisonous fire and chased it, but found that it was not as fast as that little bug to avoid. Lu Cheng quickly looked for blind spots and bunkers for spraying.
Seeing this, the Black Centipede King quickly changed his attack method, opened the sickle-like teeth on both sides of his mouth, and pounced with his huge body.
"On the left is poisonous fire, and on the front is culling, so shake it!"
Lu Chengping rode the sword light into the sky, seeming to dodge and escape from the air, the Black Centipede King The culling action will naturally change accordingly, with the mouthparts slightly raised.
However, the next moment the young Taoist suddenly jumped off the flying sword, Chisong Flying Sword continued to rush upward, and Lu Cheng's entire body fell, and the red sword light suddenly accelerated ten times without being encumbered.
The Black Centipede King's killing blow could no longer change, and he bit the human sword at two points.
The sword smoothed out in a slightly narrow arc and returned, leading Lu Cheng to escape again. At this time, Lu Cheng had a pale golden folding fan in his hand:
Second-level middle-grade magic weapon, Liuyu Peach Blossom fan.
The Thunder Hammer and the Lightning Cone cannot be used, and the Red Pine Sword must be used to deal with the Black Centipede King. It cannot be used easily, so the only magical weapon in Lu Cheng's hand that can be used for counterattack is this fan.
“After all, the Red Pine Sword is only a first-level flying sword. Although I can control it freely, the sword speed and sword power are not enough. After the effect of the Small Seal Qingfeng Talisman on me wears off, it will not be able to move me. "Okay, I still have a Small Seal Qingfeng Talisman. I can use that Fire Thunder Orb before I run out of power to inflict enough heavy damage on this Gu King."
The thought of fighting flashed through my heart.
However, Lu Cheng waved his folding fan in his hand, and wow, a pink fire of six desires fell on the Black Centipede King.
The pink flame attached to the body of the Black Centipede King and burned, but it could not even burn the shell. It was like the wind of willows blowing on the face without chilling it.
The Black Centipede King seemed to feel it too. The little guy in front of him couldn't hurt him at all.
Its huge body hovered like a snake, but each of its barb-covered feet was extremely damaging to Lu Cheng, but it was densely sliced.
Stab it.
One accidentally dodged and was cut by the Black Centipede King's foot.
The Taoist robe on Lu Cheng's back tore directly, revealing the cut vine armor and dark golden skin underneath.
The rattan armor is of course the treasure obtained from Tu Hong. It is a second-level low-grade defensive robe. The advantage is that anyone can wear it. The golden skin is the effect of the black gold armor talisman. The two phases are superimposed. Only then did he defend himself against the cutting attack from the Black Centipede King's foot, causing Lu Cheng to stumble and not directly lose his ability to fight.
"No, the sword speed is too slow and the sword power is too weak. Even if I can predict the movements of the Black Centipede King to a certain extent, the Red Pine Sword cannot help me complete evasive actions."
Fighting with swords, retreating while fighting, after Lu Cheng discovered the problem with himself, he gritted his teeth and began to use the entanglement spiral method to circulate the magic power in his body.
The power of the sword is increased by increasing the impact length of the magic power. As long as the meridians in the body can withstand it, the Red Pine Flying Sword can withstand it. In theory, it can greatly increase its own combat power, making the sword faster and more powerful.
When Lu Cheng was in a bitter battle and even took risks to a certain extent, the celestial soldiers and generals who had originally dissipated in the Chixin Temple began to gather together inexplicably again.
They could not even believe it themselves. They looked at themselves coming back to this world, staring at their palms and looking around.
However, Li Meng, Tu Nuhu, Zou Xiong, and Zou Yong, these heavenly warrior gods, did not fall into doubt for too long. Instead, they chose to take up arms again to protect the viewer regardless of the source of their power.
"Form up, quickly form a formation to protect the viewer!" The leading god general shouted loudly, gathered his soldiers, formed a forest of swords and guns, and formed a formation to resist the monster.
"What's going on? I have cut off the supply of mana. The magic of the Heavenly Soldiers and Gods should have dissipated by now. How could they reunite?"
Lu Cheng held a sword in one hand and a fan in the other, fighting with the monsters. While fighting hard, he was also surprised. He knew that magic was objective and realistic, and spells without the supply of magic power could not be completed.
The power that bursts out in desperate moments of life and death is the inherent potential in your body, and the violently fluctuating spirit is also a part of the "god" among the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit.
The reason why you are so desperate to break out is that you still have energy and a trump card that you usually cannot play.
But the Heavenly Weapon Divine General spell no longer has any magical power, and Lu Cheng is also very sure that he did not provide half of the magic power for this spell, so how is it completed now?
"Perhaps Chen Qingfeng suppressed the injury and restarted the formation, using wood to counter fire? Forced to release the remaining divine power in Chixin Temple?"
Possible guesses flashed in Lu Cheng's mind, but he couldn't be sure at all. Fortunately, this is a good and unexpected change that is beneficial to our own battle.
With two golden-armored generals, silver-armored heavenly soldiers, and even more and more bronze-armored heavenly soldiers all around, they gathered and formed a formation.
The Black Centipede King roared angrily, no longer focusing all his attention on Lu Cheng. Like a heavy truck rushing into the crowd, he rushed into the crowd of heavenly soldiers and gods to bite and hunt. .
Wouldn’t it be better to have more blood food?
"Ah? Ahhh!"
The weapon in his hand was twisted, and he was bitten into his mouth. A bronze-armored heavenly soldier let out a shrill scream.
Just as the Black Centipede King bit down with its sharp teeth, the bronze-armored heavenly weapon in its mouth turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
As soon as the body is rolled up, another piece is cut off.
But there was still no blood flowing out, no flesh and blood to devour.
Although, under the protective spell of the "Suffering-Saving Sutra", the last weak true spirits of these heavenly soldiers and generals are easily protected from harm and their souls are not scattered, the souls of the scattered heavenly soldiers and generals are also greatly damaged, and in a short time It can no longer be condensed and reincarnated into the world within a certain period of time.
Therefore, it is not impossible to kill all the heavenly soldiers and generals. After all, the upper limit is only one Qi-training realm spell.
Being able to deal with most Qi-training monks with just one technique is powerful enough, but it does not mean that this technique can help Lu Cheng overwhelm a powerful monster that is equivalent to the foundation-building realm.
Boom.
A blue-white lightning suddenly shot down in mid-air.
Since monsters and insects are naturally afraid of thunder and fire, although the damage was not great, the Black Centipede King was still shrunk by the lightning.
Then I realized that this thunder method could not bring any harm to myself.
Looking back at the ferocious insect head, what I saw was the young Taoist who was as hard to catch as a swimming fish just now. He held a hammer in his left hand and an awl in his right hand, and was retracting the magic weapon at this time.
Of course Lu Cheng, who had regained his breath, would not just watch the heavenly soldiers and generals being quickly wiped out by the Black Centipede King. These heavenly soldiers and generals are equivalent to their own extra defense. Once they make a mistake, they are willing to do their best to protect themselves and allow themselves to regain their breath.
"This is the so-called stepping stone. With them here, I am 80% or 90% sure of defeating this Gu King. Well, this is the real world. If I want to increase my opponent's chance of winning by another 30%, then my chance of winning is... 60% , enough.”
"Roar!!"
The Black Centipede King roared again and rushed towards Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng, who had already recovered his breath, used magic fire to ignite the last small seal Qingfeng Talisman and a Zhang Xuan's golden armor amulet raised his sword to fight.
Lu Cheng, who has extremely meticulous observation, discovered that as he continued to attack the Black Centipede King with the Six Desires Peach Blossom Tribulation Fire, at first it seemed that the Black Centipede King did not suffer any harm at all, but when the Six Desires Peach Blossom Tribulation Fire was superimposed, it At a certain point, the current Black Centipede King seems to start to act more and more manic.
The progress and retreat are too slow, and even the only hunting wisdom is wasting away.
"It probably doesn't have enough intelligence to perform deception. Therefore, the Peach Blossom Tribulation Fire of the Peach Blossom Fan is not ineffective, but it has no effect if the dose is not enough... I remember that many Gu insects will die after mating."
Use the sword with one hand, and wave the peach blossom fan with the other hand to attack the peach blossom calamity fire.
It’s not that you can’t live with today. For a long time in the future, third-level disposable magic weapons such as Thunder Fire Beads will be a life-saving killer move for you.
So if the Black Centipede King can be killed in a tricky way and the Thunder Fire Pearl is left behind, Lu Cheng doesn't mind, especially in the Chixin Temple, the bodies of the heavenly soldiers and gods are becoming more and more condensed and real. case.
Wandering, consuming, and shooting out the Peach Blossom Tribulation Fire. Time has dragged on for a long time at this time, and there is a faint light on the horizon.
At the same time, Lu Cheng also began to understand why the divine power in the temple suddenly increased significantly.
While wielding his sword at high altitude, he saw fire dragons gathering from all directions in Shiyuan County.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew what was going on.
Not only the remnants of the four families will counterattack and try to take back their family property, but the poor people also know how to protect their own interests, and also know how to protect the leader, the Lucheng Ludao official.
What the people want is to shape a golden body.
Under the overwhelming will of everyone in Shiyuan County, it was like a large-scale Shinto sacrifice.
Combined with the divine power of the innate leader of Chixin Guan, they are both protective wills.
That’s why the bodies of the heavenly soldiers and generals reunited inexplicably. In fact, even if they were beaten to the point where they only had a weak true spirit left, this kind of human will is a huge supplement to them. Allowing them to recover in a relatively shorter period of time.
“The unity of God and me can ward off all evil?!”
Standing on the remaining broken wall, Lu Cheng Hengjian felt the gathering of Shinto magic power in the Taoist temple at his side.
Compared with Chixin Temple, compared with the heavenly soldiers and generals, and even compared with Mr. Wang Yue who has passed away for many years, Lucheng is now the main carrier of people's aspirations in Shiyuan County.
When the willpower of the people in Chixin Guan accumulates to a certain extent, Lu Cheng’s mind will naturally be blessed.
The "spiritual" part of essence, energy, and spirit is blessed and improved.
At this moment, Lu Cheng felt as if he was already a foundation-building monk, condensing his spiritual consciousness.
Observe that God is shining everywhere, and you can check everything.
Therefore, the insight and control of one's own body comes from the heart, and the mind's ability to see and control the outside of one's body can be infinitely expanded and everywhere within the scope of the pure heart view.
This feeling was extremely wonderful, as if the evolution of life was omniscient and omnipotent. For a moment, Lu Cheng almost sank into this feeling. It seemed that as long as he was willing to take a step, he could achieve "immortality".
Although Shinto is not easier than Immortalism as a whole, it is unique in this aspect.
But at the next moment, I felt that my "spiritual consciousness" could not escape from the pure heart view.
Looking at the flying birds outside, Lu Cheng suddenly woke up and turned around.
"This kind of 'god' and 'immortality' are not the path I pursue. If I am trapped in this small place forever, what is the use of becoming a god and becoming immortal?"
"No wonder it is in the classics. It is recorded that immortal monks who are too obsessed with the Shinto Dharma will go astray in their practice. The Shinto Dharma is not organic. , some of these achievements are too tempting for immortal monks. "
The whole process is described as slow, but in fact it is just a change of several thoughts. One thought is to enter the divine way, and the other is to stay in the immortal way, but these few. This simple change of thought made Lu Cheng break into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the Black Centipede King quickly attacked violently, and the pressure it brought forced Lu Cheng to control his mind.
Keep your heart, the divine blessing is still there.
The former Mr. Wang Yue has long been reincarnated, and the divine power here has no owner and no real spirit. Therefore, Lu Cheng can resonate with and occupy it.
The divine power gathered and blessed in Chixin Temple not only allowed Lu Cheng to briefly condense the spiritual power similar to that of a Foundation Establishment monk, but also allowed him to use eight points of his mental energy (two points were used in the previous battle). ) The blessing is increased to 12 points, 15 points, and 18 points, and the control of the mana inside the body and the qi machine outside the body is greatly improved.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the Black Centipede King, who was already violently affected by the Peach Blossom Tribulation Fire and completely disorganized, could still attack Lu Cheng.
Even if there is an unexpected attack, there are heavenly soldiers and generals in Lucheng who can use their magic to protect themselves.
Finally, when the people from Shiyuan County who were running at the front gathered and arrived, and were blocked by the bronze-armored heavenly soldiers, the Black Centipede King Yuanguan, who was covered in peach blossom calamity fire, fell and was under the huge accumulation of peach blossom calamity fire. The vitality was severely damaged, and the aura of the entire monster beast was weakened.
On the other side, Lu Cheng relied on the continuous blessing of Chixin Guan's divine power and fine control of his own magic power and external energy to complete his initial conception of the Pulse-Breaking Sword Qi.
Although this state of consciousness is temporary, it is a huge help for Lu Cheng to develop his own unique swordsmanship and cannot be taken away.
Chisong is only a first-level flying sword, and Lu Cheng is only a monk in the Qi Realm. Therefore, one person and one sword cannot kill the monsters in the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, what if there are hundreds of swords and a thousand swords?
The gurgling water can cut through rocks.
At the moment when the Gu King Black Centipede was at his weakest, more than 20 meters away from him, the Taoist who had been flying back with his sword to avoid the attack a moment ago caught the sudden weakening of the monster's aura, and his figure Flying forward, the more than 30-meter-long air sword in his hand, formed by the superposition of countless sword shadows, quickly slashed diagonally with its body as the center. Wherever the red sword passed, it was the Black Centipede King's sword that was stronger than fine steel. The carapace was also broken and broken.
The filthy poisonous blood sputtered out and fell on the ground, burning up bursts of white smoke.
This is the vein-breaking sword energy that Lu Cheng has researched and created. Through the monks' subtle control of their own magic power, it spirals in the meridians like a circuit, and continuously accelerates and superimposes.
Theoretically, the power of sword energy can be greatly increased, but the cost is to burn the meridians and put a heavy load on the body. Once the magic power is accidentally used in the wrong direction, the person who performs this sword technique is very likely to be killed by his own sword energy. Exploded to death.
Now Lu Cheng was blessed by Chixin Guan to a state of consciousness similar to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he just slashed out this sword. Normally, he would never have dared to easily wield this sword, which was equivalent to a hundred swords and a thousand swords.
One sword breaks armor, one sword assassinates.
Seeing that the Black Centipede King was seriously injured, Lu Cheng rose up with his sword and stabbed him down. He was confident enough to complete the killing blow with this sword.
"Ouch..."
At this moment, the Black Centipede King's roar was no longer a roar, but a long cry. Under the power of the sword, Lu Cheng knew this Gu The king monster is no longer able to resist.
But it was also through the power of the sword that Lu Cheng faintly saw a tall, gray-robed old man with a sinister face appearing on the giant black centipede.
At this moment, he turned sideways and looked at himself.
"Good swordsmanship!"
There seemed to be such an admiration coming from his ears.
The next moment, Lu Cheng felt that his whole body was flying upside down surrounded by some huge power. Not only was he unable to complete the downward killing, but his body rose into the air.
At the same time, the giant centipede below began to burrow into the ground and escape.
It did not use earth escape in the previous battle because it was not flexible enough to attack the young Taoist. If it retreated into the earth and its reaction speed was slower, wouldn't it be even more unable to attack the opponent?
Turning around, because he was just hanging here and not restrained, Lu Cheng saw Chen Qingyun standing on the white clouds in mid-air, and beside her, the man wearing a white gauze hanging hat, wearing a The female cultivator in light gray robes, just standing there, made people feel as if everything in the world was indifferent.
“The Patriarch of the Yinshan Gu God Cult in Moyundong, also known as the Lord of the Southern Demon Cult, he has practiced boundless magic and raised millions of demon soldiers. Unless the master is here, otherwise you kill his Gu. Even if he doesn't care about you, a junior, for the sake of the real person Red God Son, he still has to be They release poisonous insects in front of you and eat all the living beings, men, women, old and young, in this county. Can you stop them?"
"... I can't stop them. Thank you, Master Uncle Fan, for your teachings."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng thought for a moment, then saluted and paid homage to the sect commander.
"You have become more polite after being out for a while. If you release this Gu today, Patriarch Yinshan will no longer be in trouble with you. Even if he fights with you, it will only be Mo Yun. Disciples who are in the same realm as you, well, I still have to sit in seclusion and practice, and you juniors will take care of the rest.”
With that said, the gray-robed female cultivator waved her hand, and Lu Cheng and Chen Qingyun, who were standing above the clouds and mist, descended at the same time, and the female cultivator suddenly turned into a white rainbow and disappeared.
"Senior Brother Lu, a few days ago I listened to my brother's words and went to ask the master for help. As a result, just as the master achieved great success in Xuan Gong, I was trapped in the formation and I just came out today." Chen Qingyun said apologetically. Tao, seems quite remorseful.
"Mysterious Skills are accomplished... Master Fan broke through the barrier of the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Gate and cultivated to the realm of Ningsha? No wonder he arrived thousands of miles away in half a day. With Master Fan's temperament and the great road ahead, let alone one of Master's disciples. Difficulty, even if Master Red God Son is in trouble, she will also I will never take action."
Uncle Fan Xiuhui is one of the few monks in Huoyun Mansion who has accomplished the foundation of Heavenly Dao. He is also one of the few monks who can be praised by Master Chi Shenzi. Today, the Heaven and Earth Profound Passage has been broken through. Cultivation has become a smooth road, leading directly to the golden elixir.
