Chapter 345 Dharmakaya
On the banks of the Luo River.
As the "Tianlong Formation" was destroyed and hundreds of ghosts broke into the city, this prosperous area of Luojing City was already in a mess.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court originally wanted to maintain order and arrange for the orderly evacuation of the people along the river.
When they saw the huge gap in the city wall, saw the ferocious and terrifying appearance of the ghosts, and saw that many practitioners who usually had great supernatural powers were vulnerable to these ghosts, they panicked and followed the people. Together they screamed and ran away.
"If hell really exists, it should look like this."
Looking at the corpses and blood stains on the ground, smelling the fishy smell in the air, listening to the continuous screams and ghosts Howling, Su Xiao thought silently in his heart.
When the disaster occurred, the accompanying elder Jiange planned to take his disciples back to the sect immediately.
But Su Xiao rejected the elder's proposal and chose to stay in Luojing City.
The reason is simple.
Su Xiao's sword is called "Three-Child Sword"; Su Xiaoxiu's sword technique is called "Pingtian Sword Technique".
Both of them are taken from "The three-foot sword in the box on the back is for heaven and shows injustice to people."
It means walking on behalf of heaven, helping the weak, and drawing the sword when the road is unfair. Help.
As we all know, all high-grade martial arts contain the true meaning of the great truth. Only by understanding it, penetrating it, and mastering it can we unleash the full power of high-grade martial arts.
Su Xiao’s master, Xu Man, the master of the Jiange Pavilion, once taught him: "The best way to understand the true meaning of the great road is to 'unify knowledge and action'."
In other words, for the true meaning of the Dao, we not only need to have a clear understanding in our hearts, but also need to take action.
Because of this, as a true "sword fanatic", when Su Xiao saw the panicked civilians in front of ghosts and monsters, he knew that this was his opportunity to practice the great path in his heart.
So today, instead of taking out the wooden sword he usually used, he summoned his natal sword "Three-Child Sword" with a thought and stood in front of a group of menacing ghosts.
"You go away quickly, I'll stop them!" He shouted to the frightened people beside him.
At the same time, smoke suddenly rose from the edge of the "Three-Child Sword" and was filled with light.
At first glance, it looks like a dream, but in fact it is murderous.
This is the second form of "Pingtian Sword Jue", "Cang Yan".
In the Lantern Festival Arena at the beginning of the year, Jiange disciple Qi Yuanshan used this trick against Shi Xiaohan.
But because Qi Yuanshan did not understand the "Pingtian Sword Jue" well, Shi Xiaohan found a flaw and defeated him with the "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
But now, in Su Xiao's hands, "Cang Yan" has shown its true power.
I saw the haze scattered in all directions, turning into rolling waves of the sea of clouds, enveloping Zhiyang Zhigang's sword energy and drowning all the ghosts and monsters in front of him.
Although the number of ghosts and monsters that invaded Luojing City was large, except for the "ghost attendants" of the Ghost King of Mangshan, most of them were a ragtag group that did not exceed the level of "wild ghosts".
Therefore, when the smoke dissipated from the edge of Su Xiao's sword, the number of ghosts in front of him was instantly reduced by half, turning into black ashes all over the ground.
Compared with these ordinary ghosts, the "ghost attendants" of Mangshan Ghost King are more difficult to deal with.
The means that monks usually use to deal with ghosts - such as metals with flaming sun attributes, such as ghost-killing talismans and seals that can borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars... are not available to the "Ghost Warriors" Take effect.
In addition, the Mangshan Ghost King is a picky "collector" - practitioners who can enter his Dharma Eyes and be made "ghost attendants" by him are either extremely talented, have special physiques, or have special skills.
So even a young genius like Su Xiao still finds it particularly difficult when facing the "ghost attendants" of the Mangshan Ghost King.
After Su Xiao killed these ghosts, three figures wearing black clothes and masks covered with black cloth stepped on the black ashes on the ground and came straight to him.
Different from ordinary ghosts -
Ordinary ghosts want to take advantage of the perfect opportunity when the "Tianlong Formation" is destroyed by Mangshan ghosts to enter Luojing City to hunt prey. Their main targets are naturally unarmed civilians.
However, these black-clothed and masked figures clearly targeted the practitioners in the crowd and were indifferent to ordinary people.
The aura on their bodies was majestic, sinister, and suffocating, and Su Xiao's eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
I saw the three of them waving their hands together, summoning their respective natal swords.
Their movements are extremely neat, and even the angles of raising their hands are exactly the same - like soldiers who have been trained with strict discipline for many years in the army, and like two puppets held in the hands of the same puppeteer.
In addition, behind the man in the center, a translucent shadow several feet high appeared.
This phantom looks like a tall god with three heads and six arms. He wears golden armor and holds bows, arrows, swords and other weapons in his hands. He looks fierce.
“This guy can actually use the ‘Dharma Appearance’!” Seeing this scene, Su Xiao was shocked and the pressure in his heart doubled.
In Dahuang's practice system, when monks knock on the "Fengdu Gate" and advance to the sixth realm, their understanding of "Tao" will be presented in the form of "Dharma".
"Dharma" can take many forms - it can be mountains and seas, it can be the sun, moon and stars, it can be birds, beasts, insects and fish, or it can be some god above the nine heavens.
The enemy in front of him can display the "Dharma Appearance", which undoubtedly proves that he has the strength of a sixth-level monk.
In addition, the appearance of this person's "faxiang" gave Su Xiao a very familiar feeling.
Su Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly realized that this tall god with three heads and six arms was the "Huode Xingjun" who served beside the "Tai Shang Haotian Jade Emperor" in myths and legends!
“My father’s Dharma sign is also ‘Huode Xingjun’.” Seeing this scene, Su Xiao’s mood was particularly complicated.
He still remembered that many years ago, before going to Luojing City, his father Su Hao proudly showed off in front of him that he not only successfully broke through to the sixth realm, but also possessed the "Fire Virtue Star Lord" This powerful Dharma image.
However, after that separation, his father unfortunately died during the mission of the "Shenji Camp".
The father and son were separated forever.
"If father is still alive," Su Xiao couldn't help but think silently, "he must be like this when he is fighting with others."
Although he had many thoughts in his heart, There's nothing ambiguous about the way he swings his sword.
After practicing hard at the top of Jiange Mountain day after day, he has already mastered the first five moves of "Pingtian Sword Technique" - a sword technique that is difficult to learn in the eyes of others. Su Xiaolai said it was already muscle memory.
And today, when he stepped forward and stood in front of the people of Luojing, he felt that his sword skills were improving by leaps and bounds at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more and more proficient.
Even the sixth form of "Pingtian Sword Technique", "dust dusting", which was stuck at the bottleneck, was showing signs of breakthrough at this moment.
In this regard, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh, Master was right - putting it into action is indeed the best way to understand the true meaning of the Tao.
But his enemy is not a vegetarian either.
Especially the figure in black in the center, not only can cast the "dharma body", but also masters exquisite swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship is simple and clumsy, and he seems to move slowly, but he can always predict Su Xiao's moves in advance and respond accordingly.
The battle with this person always made Su Xiao inadvertently recall the scene when his father accompanied him in sword practice when he was young——
At that time, Su Xiao was still an ignorant kid.
Whenever he learns a new move, he will happily run to his father to show off. And his father always laughed and praised him for his "progress" while effortlessly blocking his sword moves, which made him very disappointed. In an instant, Su Xiao and three masked men in black had been fighting for several rounds.
The men in black clearly have the upper hand.
There were already several scars on Su Xiao's body, and his plain shirt was soaked with bright red blood. He also felt that his physical strength and true energy were being consumed rapidly.
But he still had a firm gaze and did not take a step back.
The rapid progress in swordsmanship made Su Xiao feel happy.
He felt that if he persisted here for a while, his understanding of "Pingtian Sword Art" would definitely reach a higher level.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Su Xiao's sharp sword energy inadvertently cut through the mask of the man in black in the center.
When he saw the face of the man in black clearly, Su Xiao immediately stayed on the spot, his mind went blank, and he almost forgot to dodge the opponent's attack.
"Dad!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
This man in black looks exactly like his father, Su Hao, the previous generation leader of the "Shenji Battalion" of the Da Qi Dynasty who died in the mission!
But the man in black was indifferent to Su Xiao's shouts - his eyes were hollow and lifeless, like a soulless corpse.
He raised his sword again and slashed at Su Xiao without mercy.
Su Xiao's nose felt sour, she gritted her teeth, restrained her emotions, and raised her sword to block.
…………
Luojing City, Lirenfang.
Before becoming a "Ghost Attendant", Hu Yun was also a sixth-level monk, so he naturally had his own "Dharma Appearance".
After the first round of confrontation, Hu Yun had fully felt that although Zhao Yan looked like a monk who had just entered the fifth realm, his real combat power should not be underestimated.
Plus she has helpers.
So, when Gu Xu used the "Ming Zhu", Hu Yun no longer held back and summoned his own Dharma without hesitation.
Hu Yun’s dharma image is a tall peach blossom tree.
The branches and leaves are luxuriant and the flowers are bright.
Its vibrant appearance is particularly abrupt in this messy Luojing city.
As soon as the peach blossom tree appeared, Hu Yun's momentum increased steadily, as if he had reached a new level in an instant, making Gu Xu and Zhao Yan feel tremendous pressure.
They faintly felt that the movement of the true energy in their bodies had become a little unsmooth, and the process of performing moves also became a little sluggish.
This is the power of Dharmakaya - it can not only improve the monk's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but also suppress the enemy at the level of Taoism.
As long as the opponent's understanding of the "Tao" is different from his own, he will be restrained by the dharma body, and his true energy strength and spell casting speed will be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, Gu Xu's "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" has the power to break the rules.
Hu Yun's Dharma Body may be able to suppress ordinary low-level monks without the ability to fight back, but for Gu Xu and Zhao Yan, it is only equivalent to one weight-bearing training - it has a certain impact, but it does not Not fatal.
With the strengthening power of "Mingzhu", Zhao Yan waved her wings and soared into the sky.
The tip of her spear burst out with thousands of golden-red lights, completely dispersing the haze in the alley.
Just as the sun is born in the remaining night, the phoenix is born in the ashes of death.
Her black hair was flying in the wind, her eyes were as sharp as lightning, and her whole person looked proud, flamboyant, and unparalleled.
Then, she held the gun with both hands, ignored the peach blossom tree, and dived straight towards Hu Yun's position.
Her bright red skirt blurred with the dazzling firelight, like a shooting star falling from the sky.
Faced with Zhao Yan's fierce offensive, Hu Yun chose to dodge to the side without thinking, temporarily avoiding its sharp edge.
Zhao Yan’s shot was fierce and domineering. Even if he had the Dharmakaya, Hu Yun didn't want to confront her head-on.
But at this moment, Gu Xu took action.
His eyes turned into indigo blue, and the "astrolabe" in his hand also glowed silver.
Several black ripples appeared in the air.
The space in the alley seemed to be suddenly displaced -
Hu Yun felt that he had clearly taken a step to the side, but when he looked down, he found that he was still staying in the same place.
Seeing Hu Yun's confused expression, Gu Xu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly.
This is another use of the authority of "Qiankun".
Use space dislocation to confuse the enemy, interfere with the enemy, and allow the enemy to take the attack spontaneously without knowing it.
Just because his cultivation level is still shallow, he can only control a small space within a few meters, and this move consumes a lot of real energy, so he cannot use it multiple times in a short period of time. .
The moment Zhao Yan's spear was about to hit Hu Yun's head, Hu Yun immediately raised his knife to block. The spear and knife collided, and sparks suddenly flew out, making a clear "clang" sound.
The fire at the tip of the gun faded, and so did the shadow of the peach blossom tree.
Hu Yun still stood firmly on the spot, but his feet sank into the ground, leaving two holes in the bluestone.
Obviously, it is not easy for him to take this move head-on.
"Gu...Gu Xu, have you broken through to the fourth realm?" Shi Xiaohan lay softly on Gu Xu's back, glanced at the silver "astrolabe" in his hand, and asked in a weak voice road.
“Yes,” Gu Xu replied in a relaxed tone, “I found a suitable natal item in the royal treasury, and I broke through the situation by the way.”
Shi Xiaohan bit his lip gently and stopped talking. He sighed silently in his heart: This guy's advancement speed is really scary. I don't know if he will have a chance to catch up in this life.
Then she tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Yan, whose red dress was fluttering in the air.
This gorgeous young woman, whether it was her astonishing cultivation, superb martial arts, cool appearance, graceful figure...especially the size of her breasts, made Shi Xiaohan particularly envious.
Zhao Yanneng fought side by side with Gu Xu, working together tacitly and facing powerful enemies together, without being overshadowed by his brilliance in the slightest.
But she herself was foolishly tricked into the formation, and could only wait for him to rescue her with a weak posture that was at the mercy of others.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but bury his face on Gu Xu's shoulder, feeling a little embarrassed and a little sour.
So Shi Nuxia secretly vowed that when all this settles down, she will go into seclusion to practice, practice sword skills hard, and never be lazy again... Otherwise, if she is left too far behind by Gu Xu in terms of cultivation, How to be the "Yishui Two Heroes" and "Ghost Killing Partner" in the future?
