Chapter 346 Seven Styles of Burning Heaven: "Sui" and "Xin"
The battle continues.
Gu Xu didn't know these messy thoughts in Shi Xiaohan's mind.
He stared closely at Hu Yun, who was standing in front of him with a knife, with a solemn expression.
The physical strength of "Ghost Warrior" is truly extraordinary.
If it were an ordinary monk, under such a violent impact, even if he could barely survive, his skin and flesh would be torn and his orifices would bleed.
But Hu Yun seemed unscathed.
His muscles and bones seemed to be harder than the bluestone tiles on the ground.
"It's a bit tricky." Gu Xu thought as he used "Qiankun" again.
"Qiankun" is the authority to control space.
With it, Gu Xu can tear apart space, build passages, and teleport like a strong saint just by relying on his fourth realm cultivation.
According to the book, in the gaps in space, there are terrifying turbulences of time and space, which can easily twist powerful monks into pieces.
"It may be difficult for me to directly break through the defense of Hu Yun's body with magic," Gu Xu had this thought in his mind, "But I can tear apart the space where he is and use the turbulence of space Use the power to deal with him."
As the real energy in the body was rapidly consumed, Gu Xu's eyes turned into indigo again, and at the same time, countless thin gray-black lines appeared in the air, like waves on a calm lake. ripples.
Compared to Zhao Yan's Fire-Easing Spear, these black lines are much inferior in terms of light and shadow effects and momentum. You must observe them carefully to discover their existence.
But the moment they appeared, Hu Yun instinctively felt a little nervous.
He used his body skills and quickly retreated.
His intuition told him that if he was touched by these spider web-like threads, his strong body as a "ghost waiter" would be easily cut.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but look strange.
Because she could clearly see that wherever the black thin line passed, whether it was a thick brick wall or a tree branch, it was cut neatly, revealing a smooth cross-section.
The so-called "cutting iron is like clay" is nothing more than that.
"This should be a new technique he mastered after breaking through the realm!" Zhao Yan thought silently.
She was only glad that Gu Xu did not use this trick to deal with her in the "Dragon Secret Realm" before, otherwise she would have dealt with it even more awkwardly.
Hu Yun's dodge was obviously expected by Gu Xu.
He was calm and his eyes moved slowly along the route Hu Yun avoided.
Under the pull of his will, the thin black threads rapidly extended in all directions, weaving into a giant net - and Hu Yun seemed to have turned into an insect, scurrying up and down between the insect nets.
"'Ghost Warriors' have weaknesses," Gu Xu thought silently in his mind while manipulating the cracks in space like a painting. "Not only do they possess the true energy power of monks, they can also act like normal monks. Cast spells, and have a body that is much more powerful than ordinary monks
“But because they were controlled by the Mangshan Ghost King and lost their independent consciousness, they did not have the ability to learn and understand the 'Tao' - They cannot advance to a higher realm, nor can they decipher the 'Tao' of others.
"For example, Hu Yun, although he has retained his former 'Dharma Body', but facing my 'Qiankun' authority, he cannot suppress and crack it from the level of rules. He can only avoid it, Or carry it head-on.
“This may be my chance to defeat him. ”
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zhao Yan beside him and asked: "Miss Zhao, can I lend you your true essence?"
"Lend me my true essence?" Zhao Yan felt a little surprised. .
She once learned in a book that there are some evil methods that can forcibly extract other people's true energy for their own use.
However, this was the first time that Zhao Yan saw Gu Xu politely requesting to "borrow" true energy from others.
While continuing to manipulate the space cracks, Gu Xu used his spiritual consciousness to explain to Zhao Yan that he had made some small changes to the "God-Inviting Curse", which could change the object of "borrowing power" from The gods in the sky become other monks - as long as that monk nods in agreement when he recites the incantation.
"Of course, if you can't trust me, you can also choose to refuse," Gu Xu added, "After all, after lending the true energy, you may lose your combat effectiveness in the next period of time."
Zhao Yan's red lips slightly Sip, lost in thought.
According to her past style of doing things, she has always been obsessed with keeping the outcome firmly in her own hands - in Gu Xu's previous life, she would rather lose standing than win lying down. Bastard, put all your hopes on others.
But she also has self-awareness - facing a "ghost servant" with the power of the sixth realm, she may be able to fight equally, but she lacks the key means to win.
As an out-and-out warrior, most of Zhao Yan's moves are based on strength to defeat the enemy. Even the offensive techniques at the soul level rely on absolute power to suppress others.
To put it nicely, it is called “upright and upright”; to put it unpleasantly, it is called “simple and crude”.
Because of this, in the "Dragon Secret Realm" where her cultivation was suppressed, she was repeatedly defeated by Gu Xu's fancy talisman spells and insidious tricks.
And now, she can also feel that her own absolute strength is not enough to break Hu Yun's defense.
"Maybe he has a way?" She glanced at Gu Xu beside her, noticed his calm and confident eyes, and couldn't help but guess, "It's just that he is limited by his cultivation and can't use it temporarily?"< br>
As for what Gu Xu said, "losing combat effectiveness within a period of time," Zhao Yan is actually not very worried.
Although she does not have Chu Fengge's "weed" magical power, she still contains several precious elixirs in her storage magic weapon, which can help her quickly restore her true energy and play a life-saving role at critical moments.
So she pondered for a moment and whispered: "You...you have been very kind to me. Of course I can trust you."
Zhao Yan is not used to directly expressing "gratitude" or The emotion of "trust".
So after finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked to the other side calmly, suppressing all expressions on her face.
After getting her consent, Gu Xu no longer delayed, and immediately recited the adapted "God-Inviting Mantra" very fast: "Sparks burn the rivers and seas, and the light appears and illuminates the sky. "The golden phoenix rushes like clouds and arrows, and the scorching sun shines like a wheel. The fragrance spreads out after a thousand miles, and the flying clouds and horses descend. I would like to ask Miss Zhao of Youzhou to slay the evil spirits and evil spirits."
Zhao Yan frowned more and more as she listened to him reciting the incantation.
She never expected that the originally solemn "God-Inviting Curse" would become so shameful and embarrassing when it appeared in Gu Xu's mouth.
Especially the sentence "Miss Zhao from Youzhou", which Gu Xu said seriously, made her expression a little complicated.
"It seems that the head of the Exorcism Department doesn't have much respect for the gods above the nine heavens." She commented silently.
At this time, she felt that a spiritual power belonging to Gu Xu penetrated her skin and flesh, penetrated into her sea of consciousness, and told her a request to "borrow true energy".
Zhao Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Although she complained about this mantra in her heart, she did not hesitate at all in actual actions.
In an instant, she noticed that there seemed to be an invisible bond between herself and Gu Xu, and then the true energy in her body poured out like a flood that burst a dam.
When her meridians were empty and every drop of her true energy was drained away, an unprecedented sense of emptiness hit her whole body.
Zhao Yan is not used to this feeling of weakness.
This made her feel like she had turned back into an untrained mortal - without the power to control her own destiny, she had to rely on the protection of others to survive in this dangerous world.
So she immediately took out the elixir to restore her true energy and stuffed it into her mouth.
At the same time, Gu Xu could also clearly feel a scalding heat pouring into his body, instantly filling his meridians, making him feel unprecedentedly powerful.
He once used the "God-Inviting Curse" to borrow Ma Qin's true essence and Chu Fengge's true essence.
But their real energy is not very smooth to use. It is a bit awkward and a bit stagnant, just like adding cooking oil to the car's fuel tank.
But this time it’s different——
Maybe it’s because of the attributes of the practice.
Zhao Yan's true essence is extremely compatible with his, as if it is his own true essence.
This made Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If "power banks" also have quality, then the young woman next to him must be the most high-end one among them.
It’s just that due to the tense battle situation, Gu Xu couldn’t find the time to think about what was going on.
At this moment, the contents of the last two pages of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" appeared in his mind.
The third form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is called "Sui"; the fourth form is called "Xin".
The description in the book is as obscure and unclear as ever.
Even though Gu Xu's understanding was astonishing, after mastering "Ming Zhu", his learning speed of this spell stagnated again.
"Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is indeed the most difficult to learn high-grade spell in the Daqi Exorcism Department!
But now, when he heard the legend of the "God of Fire" stealing fire in the North, when he obtained the "Hui Lu" rune in the lava cave of the "Longevity Religion", when he saw the broken " "Flint", when he saw Zhao Yan unfolding the dazzling fire phoenix wings, when he improved the "Red Flame True Art" again and again... he gradually came to a clear understanding in his heart.
The third page of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is an extremely abstract pattern.
On the dark background, there are countless looming and irregular gray and white lines, like ghosts in the dark night, giving people a feeling of dizziness and palpitations.
Only in the corner of the picture, there is a blurry orange-red halo. This halo is very hidden and not conspicuous at first glance, but Gu Xu understands that it is the key to understanding this spell.
"'Suil' is a tool for making fire," Gu Xu thought to himself. "An ancient book says, 'Golden Sui makes fire from the sun. Wooden Sui makes fire from the sun'.
"In the legend of the North, there is fire. In the past, ghosts were raging, and the human race was in peace all day long; after the advent of fire, the human race finally had the ability to protect itself, established its own home, and continued to multiply and grow.
"'Sui', that is, 'hope', is the "one" from zero to one. Only with it can everything follow."
While he was thinking, One side of his eyes gradually turned from indigo to pitch black, like a starless night.
But it’s not just the color of his pupils that has changed.
And the color of the sky above.
At this moment, Shi Xiaohan on his back and Zhao Yan beside him were both surprised to find that the sky above the alley had changed from leaden gray with billowing clouds to deep ink black.
The alley suddenly became dark.
Like the sun being swallowed by the Tengu, the world fell into an endless night.
Suddenly, two "chacha" sounds were heard in the darkness.
That was the sound of drilling wood to make fire.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of orange-red light appeared in the field of vision of everyone present.
The light is very weak and inconspicuous, as if a gust of wind can easily blow it out.
But it lit up persistently, showing its existence in the darkness.
The place where the light source is is the location of Hu Yun’s heart.
At first, when the cobweb-like space crack disappeared, Hu Yun was slightly relieved, thinking that Gu Xu's true energy was exhausted and he would not be able to maintain this powerful spell for a long time.
But soon he noticed the fire on his chest.
It was just a tiny spark at first.
However, under the control of Gu Xu's thoughts, it burned more and more intensely, became brighter and brighter, and the temperature also increased sharply, and Hu Yun was soon wrapped in a robe of flames.
This is the power of "Sui".
Plant a fire within the enemy's body, igniting it from the inside out.
Its power lies in its ability to ignore the enemy's external defenses and directly cause huge damage to the enemy from within.
Dahuang’s body refining spell is rare. Most of them focus on training flesh, skin, and bones, and very few target internal organs.
Only after cultivating a saint and reshaping the body can the physical body be strengthened in all aspects.
Even though the body of the "Ghost Warrior" is powerful, it is still much inferior to the real strong saint.
It is most appropriate to use "sui" to deal with Hu Yun.
Coupled with the powerful true energy that Zhao Yan's bloodline has awakened, which is enough to compete with the sixth realm monks, Gu Xu's "Seven Burning Heaven Styles" have unprecedented power.
Under the burning fire, Hu Yun's body quickly became charred black, with irregular cracks appearing, like volcanic rocks solidified in the cave.
"What kind of magic is this move of yours?" Zhao Yan next to her couldn't help but ask.
Hu Yun's "ghost waiter" body could not even be affected by a shot she poured all her strength into, but it burned and disintegrated quickly under Gu Xu's unprecedented spell.
This made her both surprised and curious.
“The third form of the ‘Seven Forms of Burning Heaven’.” Gu Xu replied.
“It’s actually the ‘Seven Burning Heaven Styles’,” Zhao Yan murmured, “No wonder it’s so powerful.”
Shi Xiaohan’s performance was obviously much calmer.
On the one hand, it is because she is a magic idiot and has no idea about the difficulty and weight of "Seven Burning Heaven Styles"; on the other hand, it is because she has long been accustomed to Gu Xu's excellence and is used to him. Constantly create miracles and do incredible things one after another.
In the next few seconds, Hu Yun desperately mobilized all his strength to extinguish the fire that was burning from the inside out.
But the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is, after all, a spell that involves rules and contains the true meaning of the great road.
It can only be suppressed from the level of Taoism, and it is almost impossible to crack it with violent methods.
And the law is the weakness of "Ghost Warrior".
So Hu Yun could only let his body be burned and eaten away by the fire bit by bit, and he was helpless.
Seeing that he was about to be burned to ashes.
At this moment, thick black smoke suddenly rose from Hu Yun's mutilated body, covering the entire alley.
The black smoke seemed to have healing power, extinguishing the fire on his body, making him shed its skin like a python, with the blackened skin and flesh falling off quickly, and then new muscles, bones, and skin growing.
Even his clothes, which were burned beyond recognition, were restored to their original appearance in an instant, and the bright and sultry pink silk flower was pinned to his chest.
Both Gu Xu and Zhao Yan smelled a familiar smell from the black smoke.
"Ghost King of Mangshan!" They glanced at each other and verified their guesses from each other's eyes.
In the battle just now, they were only focused on dealing with Hu Yun, but they ignored one problem -
Hu Yun was not fighting alone!
As the "ghost attendant" of the Ghost King of Mangshan, Hu Yun has an inseparable connection with the ghost king of Mangshan and other "ghost attendants".
Hu Yun, who possesses the strength of the sixth level, is considered to be one of the top among the "Ghost Warriors". The Ghost King of Mangshan will definitely not sit back and watch him be eliminated by two young monks across the border.
In addition, the Ghost King of Mang Mountain covets Shi Xiaohan's "demon body".
Then the arrival of its true soul on Hu Yun was not an unexpected thing.
No, wait!
This should not be the soul of Mangshan Ghost King!
Gu Xu frowned slightly and thought to himself.
This billowing black smoke was indeed majestic, but the pressure it brought to Gu Xu was far inferior to Bai Chen who had just revealed his true identity in the "Dragon Secret Realm".
“The Ghost King of Mangshan should still be busy with its own big things,” Gu Xu boldly guessed, “Currently, it can only devote a little bit of power to help Hu Yun repair his body, but it is impossible. The real body came directly, allowing Hu Yun to directly display his strength above that of a saint.
"I cooperate with Zhao Yan, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should still be able to deal with him. ”
So, Gu Xu concentrated his mind and began to try to perform the fourth form of the "Seven Burning Heaven Forms" -
"Salary".
Salary, water chestnut.
The grass that burns fire.
On the fourth page of the book "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", there are countless chaotic, thick or thin black lines drawn. And at the top of these lines, there is another eye-catching orange halo.
Similarly abstract.
Gu Xu could guess that it was a pile of firewood, but he couldn't figure out the deeper meaning.
But today, after seeing the cracked "flint", seeing the incomplete "astrolabe", seeing Zhao Yan, and seeing himself, he finally became enlightened.
If we say "fire", it is a thing that makes fire, and it represents "hope".
Then "salary" is the carrier of fire, which symbolizes "inheritance", which is the inheritance of blood, thoughts, and Taoism from generation to generation. It means that the human body is exhausted but the spirit is not dead.
Just like the God of Fire was struck to death by the fairy thunder, but the fire he stole remained in the world, dispelling the darkness and driving away ghosts;
Just like Chi Yangzi has died He died, but his Tao survived through the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" and reappeared in the world in the hands of Gu Xu;
...
Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Xu's mind, but his eyes remained as calm as ever, and he did not hesitate to cast spells.
At this moment, the broken walls, broken bricks and tiles in all directions, as well as the red blood stains on the ground, all became his firewood.
The firelight on it is like a red cloud in the sky, bright and dazzling.
The key to the expression "salary" lies in connection——
Can be built, can be cut off.
It can also be understood that there is some kind of special inheritance relationship between the Ghost King of Mangshan and his "ghost attendants".
What Gu Xu has to do now is to cut off the bond between the two of them so that the power of the Mangshan Ghost King cannot support Hu Yun.
