"It's still a little bit close." Gu Xu secretly said in his heart.
Tonight, he set off from the Exorcism Department headquarters and came to the edge of the crowded Luoshui River.
He temporarily let go of his mind, let go of the long-term restraint on his emotions, felt the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, tasted the delicious meals and sweet and exquisite candy people in Luojing City; and then in the spotlight of everyone , boarded this dazzling golden arena, enjoying the cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and enjoying the admiration, envy or admiration of everyone.
His mood also fluctuated - some were happy, some were worried, some were irritable, and some were refreshed.
At the same time, his true energy aura, which had been stagnant for a long time, also showed signs of rising.
It was as if a person who had been locked in a dark room for a long time suddenly saw a ray of sunlight coming through the crack in the door.
Gu Xu felt that he should be able to find a way to break through the bottleneck soon.
So, he glanced at the endless sea of people on both sides of the Luo River, then looked at the young monk wearing a gray-brown cassock in front of him, and said politely: "Please."
p>"Please!" Monk Jingru smiled, took off his cumbersome cassock, and threw it on the ground, revealing the lean short shirt he wore underneath.
Then with a thought, he summoned a strong wooden stick several feet long out of thin air.
"I didn't expect that this introverted and ordinary-looking monk would actually be a fourth-level monk with a life object." Gu Xu sighed secretly in his heart.
The gongs and drums sound, and the competition begins.
I saw Monk Jingru holding a stick in both hands and striking directly towards Gu Xu's position. His movements were fast and powerful, like thunder.
Gu Xu saw the flash of true energy at the end of the stick, and heard the whistling sound of the stick cutting through the air.
He knew that the move performed by the other party was called "Eyebrow Stick Technique", which was a relatively basic martial art in Lingshan Temple. Each of its moves, such as splitting, collapsing, tapping, poking, teasing, sealing, etc., looks simple and unpretentious, but when combined together, it is flexible and changeable. The body and stick are integrated into one, and the power penetrates through the tip of the stick, making the opponent unpredictable and unpredictable. Overwhelming.
The wooden stick came too fast.
It was too late for Gu Xu to take out the talisman and recite the incantation.
The light on the tip of the stick actually left a clear afterimage, forming a bright arc in the air.
The monks watching the battle under the high platform forgot to breathe for a moment.
This stick, as pure as a monk, seems simple, but is extremely solid.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the viewing effect is not as good as those fancy spells cast by Gao Lang of Longmen Academy.
But an expert can clearly perceive its terrifying power and the solid cultivation of Monk Jingru.
As we all know, Gu Xu is a monk who majors in spells and spells - not only is he relatively fragile, but he is also not good at this kind of hand-to-hand combat.
How can he resistBlock this lightning-fast stick?
…………
The next second.
Gu Xu’s figure suddenly disappeared.
The light as pure as the tip of a monk's stick exploded with a "pop", and an obvious depression appeared on the ground of the high platform.
At the same time, Gu Xu appeared a few meters away, keeping a distance from Monk Jingru, avoiding the attack range of the "Eyebrow Stick Technique".
As far as Gu Xu knows, the high platform under his feet is part of Luojing City's "Tianlong Formation" and is theoretically extremely strong and difficult to destroy.
But this stick, as pure as a monk, can leave traces on the high platform.
It is conceivable that if Gu Xu had chosen to take the blow head-on, he would have been seriously injured at this time.
So Gu Xu was very lucky that he chose to use the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" footwork at the first opportunity and avoided this menacing stick.
Monk Jingru couldn't help but froze on the spot for a moment - he seemed not to have thought that a monk like Gu Xu, who looked relatively thin, could actually master such a weird and unpredictable movement technique.
…………
On the banks of Luoshui.
"It turned out to be a 'shooting star walking on the moon'..." Qi Yan murmured as he watched Gu Xu disappear and reappear on the edge of the railing.
He knew very well that "Meteor Walking on the Moon" was a top-grade martial arts created by Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Division - only those who were deeply trusted by Luo Chuan, such as Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin, could Only then are you qualified to study.
"It seems that Gu Xu's previous position in Luo Sishou's heart is more important than I thought," he sighed in his heart, "and according to common sense, top-level moves have always been famous for being difficult to understand. , it takes a lot of time to study and ponder before you can understand the true meaning of it, but Gu Xu can master more than one high-level martial arts or spell after only practicing for about a year... This is simply incredible."
Shangguan Jin next to him was also stunned.
To this day, she has been able to guess that Gu Xu’s "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique was learned from her when they were competing in the "Realm of Taoism" not long ago. .
"He actually learned the 'shooting star walks on the moon' just by looking at it!"
Whenever he thinks about this matter, Shangguan Jin will feel that both he and Chu Fengge are It's waste.
Because she clearly remembered that it took her a long time, made many mistakes, and was criticized and taught many times by the chief executive, before she gradually mastered the mysterious art of "Meteor Walking on the Moon". Test the body method.
There may also be a huge gap between geniuses and geniuses.
Shi Xiaohan leaned on the railing in front of him with both hands, stood on tiptoes and looked at the high arena, feeling extremely nervous.
She could feel that the strength of this monk was much stronger than the previous Gao Lang of Longmen Academy - the power contained in his stick technique was no less than her use of the "Taotie Seal" in conjunction with " The whole story of "Overlord Sword Technique"A powerful blow.
Gu Xu’s dodges were like dancing on a tightrope, with no room for mistakes.
"Gu Xu, you must be careful..." she said silently in her heart.
Only Luochuan, who was hidden in the crowd, still looked calm.
It seems that in his eyes, no matter how outrageous Gu Xu's moves are, they are all natural.
…………
Monk Jingru quickly made another move.
He held the wooden stick tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning slightly white, took a few steps forward, and quickly approached Gu Xu. His stick drew a circle along the left side of his body, and then he jerked it forward. His true energy gathered at the tip of the stick, and shining sparks emerged.
Gu Xu knew that if he was hit by this stick, he would be instantly lifted into the air by the powerful force.
He used "Meteor Walking on the Moon" again without thinking.
This time, his figure appeared behind Monk Jingru.
The wooden stick missed again.
In this way, in the next period of time, the wooden stick danced, reversed and moved flexibly in the hands of the Jingru monk, waving, splitting, returning, and dancing. The sound of the stick was roaring and vigorous.
Gu Xu’s figure flickers in and out, disappearing and appearing, like a ghost, making it difficult to predict where he will appear next second.
The wooden stick passed by him again and again, but could not hit his body.
This made Monk Jingru’s expression become solemn.
Of course, Gu Xu was not just dodging blindly.
While dodging, he took out a few talismans from his pocket, recited the incantation silently in his mind, and then threw them towards where Monk Jingru was.
In fact, if he is willing to use "time", it can be easier to help him delay time.
It’s just that Gu Xu feels that “time” involves the high-level “Tao” of time and consumes a lot of real energy, so it should be used as a trump card for future life-and-death battles.
Gu Xu used three talismans in total.
A "Disarming Talisman", a "Binding Talisman", and a "Fire Flame True Talisman" - after his improvement, these talismans are much more powerful than the original ones.
Under normal circumstances, Monk Jingru would quickly remove his weapons, stabilize his body, and then be roasted by the fire.
But Monk Jingru’s reaction was faster than Gu Xu imagined.
And as a direct disciple of Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple, he also has more means to fight against the enemy than ordinary people.
In an instant, Monk Jingru’s whole body was wrapped in the golden light of true energy, as if he was wearing a golden armor.
Invulnerable to fire and water.
Gu Xu’s three talismans were also blocked and could not cause any harm to him.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu frowned slightly.
With his extensive knowledge, he recognized JingruThis move of the monk is called the "Indestructible Magic Kung Fu". It is a top-grade martial arts created by the founder of Lingshan Temple. It is said to be "indestructible and invincible to all forces" and has extremely strong defensive power.
It's just that in his impression, this "indestructible magic skill" is extremely difficult to learn - in the past ten years, only Master Jueming, the abbot of Lingshan Temple, has mastered it.
I didn’t expect that Monk Jingru would be able to display it today.
The heroes of the world should not be underestimated.
"After many years, Lingshan Temple's 'Indestructible Magic Art' has a new inheritor," Qi Yan sighed softly under the high platform, "Gu Xu wants to defeat this monk, I'm afraid It won’t be easy.”
…………
Gu Xu didn’t think much and directly used “Firefly Flame”.
From the round just now, he knew that Monk Jingru's "Indestructible Magic Power" had a great restraining effect on most of his methods.
To defeat the opponent, he must first break through the golden layer of true energy armor on the opponent's body.
As he thought, thousands of water droplets rose up again in the Luo River, flashing with an orange-red light, flying neatly towards Monk Jingru like fireflies on a summer night. go.
This picture is like a dream, but it hides extremely terrifying lethality.
The audience in the audience was even more energetic.
Because not long ago, even Dean Li’s favorite disciple Gao Lang was instantly defeated by these weak fireflies and was no longer able to fight back.
They were very curious whether this monk from Lingshan Temple had the ability to withstand Gu Xu's thunderous blow.
Monk Jingru narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became alert, but he was not too panicked.
He still danced the wooden stick in his hand step by step.
It’s just that the golden light on his body became brighter than before.
In an instant, Gu Xu’s thousands of “fireflies” collided with Jingru Monk’s “golden armor”.
A dazzling light suddenly burst out from the arena.
It was like the sun suddenly appeared on the ground at noon, illuminating the entire Luo River as bright as day.
The onlookers closed their eyes in unison.
The person standing at the front even shed tears because of the stimulation of the bright light.
Immediately afterwards, a strong shock wave centered on the arena and spread rapidly in all directions, setting off a surging wave on the calm Luoshui River, layer upon layer, continuously.
After a few seconds, the strong light gradually faded away.
But people's pupils are still in a state of contraction and cannot recover for a long time, so that their vision is blurred and they cannot clearly see the next battle situation.
…………
On the stage.
The tens of thousands of "fireflies" have disappeared, and the "golden armor" on the monk's body has also become dim.Dull.
Under the fierce impact, both of them retreated to the edge of the ring - if they took another step back, they would fall into the Luo River.
At this moment, Gu Xu and Monk Jingru looked at each other with complicated emotions.
Gu Xu sighed in his heart: "As a former Ninth Realm monk, the Patriarch of Lingshan Temple, the secret knowledge he left behind is indeed extraordinary - even spells like 'Firefly Flame' cannot completely defeat this Monk's defense."
Monk Jingru also sighed: "This young monk named Gu Xu is indeed extraordinary - not even the 'Indestructible Magic Power' can completely block him. Attack. No wonder the master has been talking about his name a lot recently."
The two of them agreed to give each other some time to adjust and recover.
After a moment of silence, Monk Jingru looked at Gu Xu seriously and asked, "Is the move you just performed the 'Seven Burning Heaven Moves' pioneered by Senior Chiyangzi? "
"Yes." Gu Xu nodded.
"No wonder." Monk Jingru lowered his head, thoughtfully.
After a few seconds, Monk Jingru looked at Gu Xu again and said: "Then do you know that decades ago, my master and senior Chi Yangzi were inseparable friends, and the two often discussed the avenue together. Mysterious meaning?"
"I've heard of it."
"The young monk once heard from his master that Senior Chiyangzi had been studying a spell that could break all the laws in the world." As the monk described in a calm tone, "In order to accomplish this, he often competed with my master. In order to break through my master's defense, senior Chiyangzi designed the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" to be more powerful than the last. Strong.
"My master also took this opportunity to improve many of the moves in Lingshan Temple, including the 'Vajra Indestructible Magic' - its defensive power is also stronger than the original one. many. "
Gu Xu nodded.
From Monk Jingru's words, he understood the reason behind the "Indestructible Vajra" being able to block the "Firefly Flame".
Perhaps, he will have to wait until he learns the next few moves of the "Seven Burning Heaven Moves" before he can really break through all kinds of magic easily.
He thought for a moment, and then asked politely: "Okay. Give me a moment? ”
“Yes. "Jingru nodded gracefully without asking him why.
"Thank you! "Gu Xu cupped his hands.
Then he stood there and closed his eyes - and actually entered a state of enlightenment in full view of everyone!
