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.
But 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 also panicked and followed. The people screamed and fled in all directions together.
"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, and listening Su Xiao thought silently to the continuous screams and ghostly howls.
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-foot Sword"; Su Xiao'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."
That is, walking the path for heaven, helping the weak, and seeing injustice on the road, Draw your sword to 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 that “the best way to understand the true meaning of the Dao is to unite 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 put it into 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-foot Sword" with a thought and stood in front of a group of menacing ghosts.
"You guys 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-foot 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 the Pingtian Sword Technique, "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 Technique well enough, 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.
The haze dispersed and turned 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 King of Mangshan"Except for the "Ghost Warriors", most of them were a mob that did not exceed the "Wild Ghost" level.
Therefore, when the smoke on Su Xiao's sword dissipated, the number of ghosts and monsters in front instantly decreased. Half of them turned into black ash all over the ground.
Compared with these ordinary ghosts, the "ghost attendants" of Mangshan Ghost King are more difficult to deal with.
Usually the monks. Methods used to deal with ghosts, such as metals with flaming sun attributes, such as ghost-killing talismans that can borrow the power of the sun, moon and stars, are not effective on the "Ghost Warriors"
In addition, Mang. The Mountain Ghost King is a picky "collector". The practitioners who can enter his Dharma Eyes and become "ghost attendants" by him are either gifted, have special physiques, or have special skills.
So even if it is a practitioner. A young genius like Su Xiao still finds it particularly difficult when facing the "ghost attendants" of the Mang Mountain Ghost King.
After Su Xiao killed these ghosts, there were three of them. The figure in black clothes and masked with black cloth stepped on the black dust on the ground and came straight to him
Different from ordinary ghosts
Ordinary ghosts wanted to take advantage of "Celestial Dragon". "The Great Formation" was destroyed by Mangshan ghosts, and entered Luojing City to hunt prey. Their main targets are naturally unarmed civilians.
But these black-clothed and masked figures, but their targets He clearly targeted the cultivators in the crowd and was indifferent to ordinary people.
The aura on them 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 were extremely neat, and even the angles of raising their hands were exactly the same, as if they had been trained under strict discipline for many years. The soldiers looked like two puppets held by the same puppeteer.
In addition, behind the man in the center, there was a translucent line several feet high. Shadow.
This shadow looks like a tall god with three heads and six arms. She wears golden armor and holds bows, arrows, swords and other weapons. She looks fierce.
< p>"This guy can actually use the Dharma" Su Xiao was shocked when he saw this scene, and the pressure in his heart doubled.In Dahuang's practice system, when the monk opened the "Fengdu Gate" and entered. After the sixth stage, their understanding of "Tao" will be presented in the form of "Dharma".
The "Dharma" can take various forms, such as mountains and seas, the sun, the moon, stars, or anything else. Birds, beasts, insects, fish, or some deity above the nine heavens.
The fact that the enemy in front of him can display the "Dharma" undoubtedly proves that he has the strength of a sixth-level monk.
< p>In addition, the appearance of this person's "dharma" 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 one served in myths and legends. The "Huodexingjun" beside "the Supreme Haotian Jade Emperor"
"My father's dharma appearance is also the Huodexingjun. "Seeing this scene, Su Xiao felt extremely 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".
Father and son are 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 so many thoughts in his heart , but the movement of his sword swing was not lakelike at all.
After practicing hard at the top of Jiange Mountain day after day, he had already integrated the first five moves of Pingtian Sword Technique and mastered this sword technique that was difficult to learn in the eyes of others. For Su Xiaolai It's just 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 powerful. skilled.
Even the sixth form of the Pingtian Sword Technique, "dust dusting", which is stuck at the bottleneck, is showing signs of breakthrough at this moment.
In this regard, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh. Putting what Master said into action is indeed the best way to understand the true meaning of the Tao.
But his enemies are not vegetarians either.
Especially the black-clothed figure 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 reminded Su Xiao of 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 the three masked men in black had been fighting for several rounds.
The men in black clearly have the upper hand.
Several scars appeared on Su Xiao's body. His plain shirt was soaked with red blood, and he 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 the Pingtian Sword Technique 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.
The man in blackHis appearance was exactly the same as that of his father, Su Hao, the previous leader of the "Shenji Battalion" of the Daqi Dynasty who died in the mission
But the man in black was indifferent to Su Xiao's shouts. His eyes were empty and lifeless. Like a dead body without a soul.
He raised his sword again and slashed at Su Xiao without mercy.
Su Xiao’s nose felt sore, 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 has fully felt that although Zhao Yan looks like a monk who has just entered the fifth realm, his true combat power cannot 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 vaguely felt that the movement of the true energy in their bodies had become a little unsmooth, and the process of performing moves had also become 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 "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 Burning Heaven Styles have the power to break the rules.
Hu Yun's Dharma Body may be able to suppress ordinary low-level monks until they are unable to fight back, but for Gu Xu and Zhao Yan, it is only equivalent to one weight-bearing training, which has a certain impact, but it does 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 dress, together with the dazzling firelight, looked like a shooting star falling from the sky.
Facing Zhao Yan's fierce offensive, Hu Yun chose to dodge to the side without thinking to temporarily avoid 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.
HisHis 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 out of place
Hu Yun felt that he had clearly taken a step to the side, but when he looked down, he found that he was still in the same place.
Seeing Hu Yun's confused expression, Gu Xu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
This is another use of the authority of "Qiankun".
Use spatial 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 do it multiple times in a short period of time. use.
The moment Zhao Yan's spear was about to hit Hu Yun's head, Hu Yun immediately raised his knife to block. The gun 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 Guxu, you have 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.
"Yes," Gu Xu replied in a relaxed tone, "I found a suitable natal item in the royal treasury, so I broke through."
Shi Xiaohan bit his lips lightly and stopped talking. He silently lamented in his heart that this guy's advancement speed was really frightening, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to catch up in this life.
Then she tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Yan, who was standing in the air in a red dress.
This gorgeous young woman made Shi Xiaohan extremely envious, whether it was her amazing cultivation, superb martial arts, cool appearance, graceful figure, especially the size of her breasts.
Zhao Yanneng fought side by side with Gu Xu, cooperated tacitly, and faced 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 swore that when everything calmed down, she would go into seclusion to practice, practice sword skills hard, and never be lazy again. Otherwise, if she was left too far behind by Gu Xu in terms of cultivation, she would not be able to do anything in the future. How to be the "Two Heroes of Yishui" and "Ghost-killing Partner",
